Research on the Progress of Treating Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease with Modified Classic Traditional Chinese Medicine Prescription

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a high-incidence digestive system disease. Western medicine mainly uses drugs such as proton pump inhibitors to inhibit gastric acid secretion, but some patients are accompanied by symptoms such as non-acid reflux and gas reflux, which cannot effectively treat the disease. It is necessary to actively explore other treatment schemes. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has a long history of research on gastroesophageal reflux disease, which emphasizes the treatment based on syndrome differentiation as a whole. Through the treatment of various and multi-component TCM prescriptions, the patient’s body condition can be adjusted, and the treatment effect on gastroesophageal reflux disease is reliable, which has obvious therapeutic advantages. To further clarify the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease, this study reviewed and analyzed the research progress of the treatment of liver disease with modified prescriptions, and the report is as follows.

Effect of Anterior Stomach Disease on Rumen Function of Beef Cattle

[Objective] To explore the effect of anterior stomach disease on the rumen function of beef cattle. [Method]The ruminal contraction function of beef cattle was recorded by multi-channel physiological recorder,the frequency of rumination and belching was observed to detect their effects on the motor function of rumen. Changes of ciliates in the rumen and the intensity of fermentation were determined to detect their influences on digestive function. [Results] The ruminal tension and systolic frequency significantly decreased and the rumination frequency decreased or even stopped under the condition of impactio ruminis,and the belching frequency also decreased. Ciliate numbers of atonia proventriculorum,rumen impaction and rumen expansion cattle were significantly lower than that of normal cattle( P < 0. 01),and the viability of ciliates also significantly decreased. [Conclusion] Occurrence of the stomach disease of beef cattle had significant adverse effects on ruminal function of cattle.

Crohn's disease of esophagus,stomach and duodenum

Crohn's disease with involvement of the esophagus, stomach and duodenum has a prevalence of 0.5% to 4% in symptomatic adult patients, but some studies have shown that these results may be underestimated, since upper gastrointestinal endoscopy is not performed routinely in the initial evaluation of the disease in adult patients, as it is in the pediatric population. In general, involvement of the upper gastrointestinal tract in Crohn's disease occurs concomitantly with involvement of the lower gastrointestinal tract. The diagnosis depends on clinical,endoscopic, histological and radiological evaluation. The presence of aphthoid ulcers, longitudinal ulcers, bamboo-joint-like appearance, stenoses and fistulas are endoscopic findings suggestive of the disease, and it is important to exclude the presence of Helicobacter pylori infection. The primary histological findings,which facilitate the diagnosis, are the presence of a chronic inflammatory process with a predominance of lymphoplasmacytic cells and active focal gastritis. The presence of epithelioid granuloma, although less frequent, is highly suggestive of the disease in the absence of chronic granulomatous disease. Treatment should include the use of proton pump inhibitors associated with corticosteroids,immunomodulators and biological therapy according to the severity of the disease.

FDX1 as a novel biomarker and treatment target for stomach adenocarcinoma

BACKGROUND Stomach adenocarcinoma(STAD)is one of the main reasons for cancer-related deaths worldwide.This investigation aimed to define the connection between STAD and Cuproptosis-related genes(CRGs).Cuproptosis is a newly identified form of mitochondrial cell death triggered by copper.AIM To explore the identification of potential biomarkers for STAD disease based on cuproptosis.METHODS A predictive model using Gene Ontology(GO),Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator(LASSO),Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG),Gene Set Variation Analysis(GSVA),and Gene Set Enrichment Analysis analyzed gene interconnections,focusing on 3 copper-related genes and their expression in The Cancer Genome Atlas-STAD.Networks for mRNA-miRNA and mRNA-transcription factor interactions were constructed.The prognostic significance of CRG scores was evaluated using time-receiver operating characteristic,Kaplan-Meier curves,and COX regression analysis.Validation was conducted with datasets GSE26942,GSE54129,and GSE66229.Expression of copper-related differ-entially expressed genes was also analyzed in various human tissues and gastric cancer subpopulations using the human protein atlas.RESULTS Three significant genes(FDX1,LIAS,MTF1)were identified and selected via LASSO analysis to predict and classify individuals with STAD into high and low CRG score subgroups.These genes were down-regulated in both risk categories.GO and KEGG analyses highlighted their involvement mainly in the electron transport chain.After validating their differential expression,FDX1 emerged as the most accurate diagnostic marker for gastric cancer.Additionally,the RCircos package localized FDX1 on chromosome 11.CONCLUSION Our study revealed that FDX1 could be a potential biomarker and treatment target for gastric malignancy,providing new ideas for further scientific research.

Analysis of the Spleen and Stomach Thoughts in Treating Eyelids Diseases in Essential Subtleties on the Silver Sea(《银海精微》)

Essential Subtleties on the Silver Sea(《银海精微》)is a well-known ophthalmology work of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM).There are many discourses on eyelids diseases.This paper analyzed the classification of related diseases and their treatment methods and intends to sort out the pathogenesis of eyelids diseases related to the spleen and stomach function in TCM,thus inspiring new treatment ideas and guiding clinical treatment.Through the sorting out,it is found that the eyelids diseases are closely related to the function of the spleen and stomach such as the Qi(气)and blood generation and transformation,the blood circulation,and the Yin(阴)-Yang(阳)harmony.The corresponding treatments are various,including expelling the pathogen,moving Qi(气)and invigorating blood,warming and activating the spleen Yang(阳).

Study of T-lymphocyte subsets,nitric oxide,hexosamine and Helicobacter pylori infection in patients with chronic gastric diseases

Chronic gastritis ( CG ) and peptic ulcer ( PU ) are frequently-occurring diseases. It is now well recognized that Helicobacter pylori (Hp) is a major factor that leads to CG and PU[1-8] In order to study the relationship among T lymphocyte subsets, NO, Hexosamine and Hp infection in patients with chronic gastric diseases, the levelsof blood T lymphocyte subsets, plasma NO and hexosamine in gastric mucosa were measured respectively in 30 patients with CG and 32 patients of PU + CG.

GC/MS-based differential metabolic profiling of human peptic ulcer disease to study Helicobacter pylori-induced metabolic perturbations

Helicobacter pylori infection has been significantly linked to Peptic Ulcer Disease and Gastric Cancer.Metabolomic fingerprinting may offer a principal way of early diagnosis and to understand the molecular mechanism of H.pylori-induced pathogenicity.The rationale of the study is to explore the underlying distinct metabolic mechanisms of H.pylori-induced PUD and to identify potential biomarkers for disease diagnosis and associated risks using Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry.GC/MS-based analytical method was used to compare metabolic profiles of healthy controls(N=20)and peptic ulcer patients(N=45).Acquired metabolomic data were analyzed by constructing a diagnostic model using principal component analysis and a non-parametric two-tailed paired Wilcoxon analysis to identify disease-specific metabolic biomarkers.A total of 75 low-molecular-weight endogenous metabolites were detected during comparative metabolomic analysis of PUD vs.healthy gut tissues,among which 16 metabolites are being proposed to be diagnostic markers of Human PUD.Perturbations related to amino acids,carbohydrates,fatty acids,organic acids,and sterol metabolism were significantly revealed during this differential metabolomic profiling.Results convincingly suggest that metabolic profiles can contribute immensely in early diagnosis of the disease and understanding molecular mechanisms of disease progression for predicting novel drug targets for prophylactic and anaphylactic measures.

The relationship between activities of hepatic and gastric alcohol dehydrogenase and occurrence of chronic alcoholic liver disease

Objective: To investigate the role of hepatic and gas-tric alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) in different pa-thologic stages of alcoholic liver disease (ALD).Methods: Thirty-nine Wistar rats were divided ran-domly into two groups: model group (24) and con-trol group (15). The ALD model was established byinfusing alcohol into the stomach. After hepatic andgastric tissues had been stained by enzyme histo-cyto-chemistry assay, the activity varieties of hepatic andgastric ADH were observed by an optical micro-scope, and the activity alterations were also deter-mined by LUZEX-F image analysis as a semi-quanti-tative method.Results: The activity of hepatic ADH gradually in-creased, but that of gastric ADH gradually decreasedin the different pathologic stages of alcoholic liverdisease. There was a significant difference betweenthe model group and control group (P【0.05).Conclusions: Along with occurrence of ALD, the ac-tivity of hepatic ADH gradually increased, but thatof gastric ADH gradually decreased, showing thatthe activity alterations of hepatic and gastric ADHmay play an important role in the onset and develop-ment of ALD.
