METHODS: Thirty baby rats for IBS modeling were separated from mother rats(1 h per day) from days 8 to 21, and the rectum was expanded by angioplasty from days 8 to 12. Ten normal rats were used as normal controls. We examined the effects of TXYF on defection frequency, colonic transit function and smooth muscle contraction, and the expression of 5-hydroxytryptamine(5-HT) and substance P(SP) in colonic and hypothalamus tissues by Western blot and RT-PCT techniques in both normal rats and IBS model rats with characterized visceral hypersensitivity.in normal rats and 4.5 ± 1.58 in IBS model rats(P < 0.001). However, the defecation frequency was significantly decreased(3.0 ± 1.25 vs 4.5 ± 1.58, P < 0.05), while the time(in seconds) of colon transit function was significantly increased(256.88 ± 20.32 vs 93.36 ± 17.28, P < 0.001) in IBS + TXYF group rats than in IBS group rats. Increased colonic smooth muscle tension and contract frequency in IBS model rats were significantly decreased by administration of TXYF. Exogenous agonist stimulants increased spontaneous activity and elicited contractions of colon smooth muscle in IBS model rats, and all of these actions were significantly reduced by TXYF involving 5-HT and SP down-regulation. CONCLUSION: TXYF can modulate the activity of the enteric nervous system and alter 5-HT and SP activities, which may contribute to the symptoms of IBS.展开更多

METHODS: A total of 21 male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into normal group, model group and EA group. A rat model of IBS was established by constraining the limbs and distending the colorectum of rats. Rats in EA group received bilateral EA at ST25 and ST37 with a sparse and intense waveform at a frequency of 2/50 Hz for 15 min, once a day for 7 d as a course. Rats in normal and model groups were stimulated by distending colorectum (CR). An abdominal withdrawal reflex (AWR) scoring system was used to evaluate improvements in visceral hypersensitivity. Toluidine blue-improved method, immunohistochemistry and radioimmunoassay were used to observe mucosal mast cells (MC), changes of substance P (SP) and substance P receptor (SPR) in colon and change of corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) in hypothalamus. RESULTS: The threshold of visceral sense was significantly lower in model group than in normal group,and significantly higher in EA group than in model group. The number of mucosal MC was greater in model group than in normal group and significantly smaller in EA group than in model group. The CRH level in hypothalamus of rats was significantly higher in model group than in normal group, which was remarkably decreased after electro-acupuncture treatment. The SP and SPR expression in colon of rats in model group was decreased after electro-acupuncture treatment. CONCLUSION: EA at ST25 and ST37 can decrease the number of mucosal MC and down-regulate the expression of CRH in hypothalamus, and the expression of SP and SPR in colon of rats with IBS.展开更多

Thereby, the change of the con-tent of substance P in the serum may be used as an objective index to appraise the acupuncture analge-sla.展开更多

The present study aimed to evaluate the drug property of Poria, called Fuling(FL) in traditional Chinese medicine(TCM), in terms of its effects on the substance and energy metabolism in rat models of cold-deficiency and heat-deficiency syndromes, compared with Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparaia, called Fuzi(FZ) in TCM, with hot property, and Anemarrhenae Rhizoma, called Zhimu(ZM) in TCM, with cold property, as reference drugs, respectively. The appearance score, toe and rectal temperatures of the animals treated were assessed at different time points. Several indices in vivo correlated with substance and energy metabolism(glucokinas, phosphoglycerate kinase, cytochrome c reductase, cytochrome c oxydase, and Na^+-K^+-ATPase), endocrine system(triiodothyronine, thyroxine, and 17-hydroxycorticosteroid), nervous system(acetylcholin esterase), and cyclic nucleotide system were determined. The changes in appearance score and indices in vivo suggested the successful establishment of cold-deficiency and heat-deficiency syndrome models. FZ reversed the decreased levels of indices(substance and energy metabolism and endocrine system) and alleviated the syndrome of cold-deficiency model, and ZM showed obviously therapeutic effect on heat-deficiency syndrome(appearance score, substance and energy metabolism, and endocrine system). FL could alleviate cold-deficiency syndrome and raise the decreased levels of glucokinas, phosphoglycerate kinase, cytochrome c reductase and triiodothyronine in cold-deficiency model, but had no significant effect on heat-deficiency syndrome. Drug property of FL was inferred as trending to "flat and warm", which still need further study. It was advisable to adopt both cold-deficiency and heat-deficiency models to study the drugs with "flat" property.展开更多

Zusanli(ST 36)and Shangjuxu(ST 37) were selected as acupoints for electroacupuncture or warm moxibustion treatment once a day for 14 consecutive days. Before and after the treatment sessions,a Visual Analog Pain Scale and the Bristol Stool Form Scale were used to evaluate gastrointestinal symptoms. There were four dropout cases,leaving 81 participants(41 with IBS-D and 40 with IBS-C) who volunteered to undergo colonoscopy before and after the treatment sessions. During colonoscopy,sigmoid mucosa were collected to detect SP and VIP expression using immunohistochemistry assay.RESULTS: Both EA and Mox treatments were effective at relieving abdominal pain in IBS-D and IBS-C patients. However,Mox was more effective at reducing diarrhea in IBS-D patients,whereas EA was more effective at improving constipation in IBS-C patients. EA and Mox treatments both down-regulated the abnormally increased SP and VIP expression in the colonic mucosa,with no significant difference shown between the two treatments.CONCLUSION: Both EA and Mox treatments are effective at ameliorating gastrointestinal symptoms by reducing SP and VIP expression in the colonic mucosa of IBS patients.展开更多

Ten normal rats were used as normal controls. We examined the effects of TXYF on defection frequency, colonic transit function and smooth muscle contraction, and the expression of 5-hydroxytryptamine(5-HT) and substance P(SP) in colonic and hypothalamus tissues by Western blot and RT-PCT techniques in both normal rats and IBS model rats with characterized visceral hypersensitivity.in normal rats and 4.5 ± 1.58 in IBS model rats(P < 0.001). However, the defecation frequency was significantly decreased(3.0 ± 1.25 vs 4.5 ± 1.58, P < 0.05), while the time(in seconds) of colon transit function was significantly increased(256.88 ± 20.32 vs 93.36 ± 17.28, P < 0.001) in IBS + TXYF group rats than in IBS group rats. Increased colonic smooth muscle tension and contract frequency in IBS model rats were significantly decreased by administration of TXYF. Exogenous agonist stimulants increased spontaneous activity and elicited contractions of colon smooth muscle in IBS model rats, and all of these actions were significantly reduced by TXYF involving 5-HT and SP down-regulation.

文摘背景肠易激综合征(IBS)是临床常见的肠道疾病,使用痛泻要方治疗确有疗效,但分析方剂中主要显效药物的相关研究较少。目的观察痛泻要方拆方对腹泻型肠易激综合征(IBS-D)大鼠结肠、海马体组织脑源性神经营养因子(BDNF)、P物质(SP)表达的影响。方法于2020年7月选取6周龄SPF级雄性Wistar大鼠共32只,采用抽签法随机分为空白组、模型组、白芍防风组(B-F组)和陈皮白术组(C-B组),每组8只。除空白组外,其余各组均使用结直肠扩张+慢性束缚应激法建立内脏敏感型IBS-D大鼠模型。造模后B-F组采用白芍防风中药浸膏(4 ml/kg)灌胃治疗,C-B组采用陈皮白术中药浸膏(4 ml/kg)灌胃治疗,空白组和模型组采用蒸馏水灌胃,治疗周期为14 d。比较造模后、治疗后四组大鼠体质量及增长情况、布里斯托大便分类法评分、不同压力梯度下腹部撤退反射(AWR)、结肠及海马体组织中BDNF和SP表达水平的差异。结果建立IBS-D模型大鼠成功,所有大鼠存活。B-F组、C-B组大鼠造模后体质量增长量小于空白组,治疗后体质量增长量大于模型组(P<0.05)。模型组大鼠治疗后布里斯托大便分类法评分高于空白组(P<0.05);B-F组和C-B组大鼠治疗后布里斯托大便分类法评分低于模型组(P<0.05)。治疗后在气囊压力为60 mm Hg时:模型组大鼠AWR评分均高于空白组(P<0.05)。治疗后在气囊压力为60、80 mm Hg时:B-F组大鼠AWR评分低于模型组、C-B组(P<0.05)。模型组、C-B组大鼠治疗后结肠组织BDNF、SP表达水平高于空白组(P<0.05);B-F组大鼠治疗后结肠组织BDNF、SP表达水平低于模型组和C-B组(P<0.05)。模型组大鼠治疗后海马组织BDNF表达水平低于空白组(P<0.05);模型组、C-B组大鼠治疗后海马组织SP表达水平高于空白组(P<0.05);B-F组大鼠治疗后海马组织BDNF表达水平高于模型组,SP表达水平低于模型组(P<0.05)。结论痛泻要方中白芍防风药对、陈皮白术药对均能明显增加IBS-D大鼠体质量、改善腹泻情况。相较于陈皮白术药对,白芍防风药对可明显缓解IBS-D大鼠肠道高敏感,更好地下调海马组织SP和结肠组织BDNF、SP的表达,上调海马组织BDNF的表达,调节相关脑肠肽的平衡。
文摘目的:观察四物牵正散联合针刺治疗风寒袭络型急性期周围性面瘫的临床疗效。方法:将86例风寒袭络型急性期周围性面瘫患者按照随机数字表法分为对照组和试验组,每组各43例。对照组给予四物牵正散治疗,试验组在对照组治疗的基础上联合针刺疗法。比较两组患者的临床疗效、不良反应发生率及治疗前后面神经功能评分、面部残疾指数躯体功能(facial disability index physical function, FDIP)评分、面部残疾指数社会功能(facial disability index social function, FDIS)评分、中医证候积分、FaCE量表评分、免疫功能水平(CD3^(+)、CD4^(+)、CD8^(+)、CD4^(+)/CD8^(+))变化情况。结果:对照组有效率为81.39%,试验组有效率为93.02%,两组患者有效率比较,差异具有统计学意义(P<0.05)。两组患者治疗后面神经功能评分、FDIP评分、FDIS评分高于本组治疗前,中医证候积分较低于本组治疗前,且治疗后组间比较,差异具有统计学意义(P<0.05)。两组患者治疗后FaCE量表各项评分高于本组治疗前,且治疗后试验组高于对照组,差异具有统计学意义(P<0.05)。两组患者治疗后CD3^(+)、CD4^(+)及CD4^(+)/CD8^(+)高于治疗前,CD8^(+)低于本组治疗前,且治疗后组间比较,差异具有统计学意义(P<0.05)。试验组不良反应发生率低于对照组,差异具有统计学意义(P<0.05)。结论:四物牵正散联合针刺治疗风寒袭络型急性期周围性面瘫患者,能够调节患者免疫功能,改善临床症状,且不良反应较低。
