Pharmacokinetics of traditional Chinese syndrome and recipe:a hypothesis and its verification(Ⅰ)

AIM To propose a hypothesis defining theabsorption,distribution,metabolism andelimination of traditional Chinese recipe（TCR）-component in blood of healthy subjects andpatients,and estimate its correctness.METHODS The pharmacokinetics（PK）of samedose of drug was studied in the animal model oftraditional Chinese syndrome（S）and healthyanimals.The classification,terminology,concept and significance of the hypothesis wereset forth with evidence provided in the presentstudy.The hypotheses consisted of traditionalChinese syndrome PK（S-PK）and traditionalChinese recipe PK（R-PK）.Firstly,the observedtetramethylpyrazine（TMP）PK in healthy,chronically reserpinized rats（rat model ofspleen deficiency syndrome,RMSDS）andRMSDS treated with Sijunzi decoction（SJZD）forconfirmation were used to verify S-PK; secondly,the ferulic acid（FA）PK in healthy andhigh molecular weight dextran（HMWD）-inducedrabbit model with blood stasis syndrome（RDBSS）was also used to verify S-PK;andlastly,TMP PK parameters in serum of healthyrats after orally taken Ligusticum wallichii（LW）,LW and Salvia miltiorrhiza（LW&SM）decoctions were compared to verify R-PK.RESULTS The apparent first-order absorption[Ka,（13.61±2.56）h-1,area under the blooddrug concentration-time curve[AUC,（24.88±9.76）μg.h-1mL-1],maximum drug concentration[Cmax,（4.82±1.23）μg·mL-1]of serum TMP inRMSDS were increased markedly（P【0.05）compared with those[Ka=（5.41±1.91）h-1,AUC=（5.20±2.57）μg·h-1·mL-1,Cmax=（2.33±1.77）μg·mL-1]of healthy rats（HR）.Theapparent first-order rate constant for α and βdistribution phase[α=（0.38±0.09）h-1,β=（0.06±0.03）h-1,the apparent first-orderintercompartmental transfer rate constants[K10=（0.24±0.07）h-1,K12=（0.11±0.02）h-1,K21=（0.11±0.02）h-1]of serum TMP in RMSDS weredecreased significantly（P【0.01）comparedwith those[K10=（0.88±0.20）h-1,K12=（1.45±0.47）h-1,K21=（0.72±0.22）h-1]of HR.However,no apparent differences occurredbetween HR and RMSDS treated with SJZD.Theserum FA concentration and its AUC[（5.6690±2.3541）μg·h-1·mL-1] in RMBSS were also higherthan those[AUC=（2.7566±0.8232）μg·h-1·mL-1]of healthy rabbits（P【0.05）.The Ka（11.51±2.82）h-1,AUC（0.84±0.17）μg·h-1·mL-1of LW & SM-derived TMP in serum weremuch lower（P【0.05）than those[Ka=（19.58±4.14）h-1,AUC=（1.27±0.26）μg·h-1·mL-1]ofLW-derived TMP in serum after oral decoctions.CONCLUSION The SDS and blood stasissyndrome state could affect significantly thepharmacokinetic parameters of drugs and theabnormal SDS pharmacokinetic parameters couldbe normalized by SJZD.The combination ofChinese medicine in TCR could reciprocallyaffect the pharmacokinetic parameters of othercomponents absorbed into the systemiccirculation.These results support the S-and R-PK hypothesis.

Study on blood pressure rhythm in hypertensive patients with Yin deficiency syndrome and a random forest model for predicting hypertension with Yin deficiency syndrome

OBJECTIVE: To investigate blood pressure rhythm(BPR)in Yin deficiency syndrome of hypertension(YDSH)patients and develop a random forest model for predicting YDSH.METHODS: Our study was consistent with technical processes and specification for developing guidelines of Evidence-based Chinese medicine clinical practice(T/CACM 1032-2017). We enrolled 234 patients who had been diagnosed with primary hypertension without antihypertensive medications prior to the enrollment. All participants were divided into Yin deficiency group(YX, n = 74) and non-Yin deficiency group(NYX, n = 160).Participants were professionally grouped by three experienced chief Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM)physicians according to four examinations(i.e.,inspection, listening and smelling, inquiry and palpation).We collected data on 24 h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring(ABPM) and YDSH rating scale. We divided 24 h of a day into 12 two-hour periods [Chen-Shi(7:00-9:00), Si-Shi(9:00-11:00), Wu-Shi(11:00-13:00), Wei-Shi(13:00-15:00), Shen-Shi(15:00-17:00), You-Shi(17:00-19:00), Xu-Shi(19:00-21:00), Hai-Shi(21:00-23:00), ZiShi(23:00-1:00), Chou-Shi(1:00-3:00), Yin-Shi(3:00-5:00), Mao-Shi(5:00-7:00)] according to the theory of “midnight-midday ebb flow”. We used random forest to build the diagnostic model of YDSH, with whether it was Yin deficiency syndrome as the outcome. RESULTS: Compared with NYX group, YX group had more female participants with older age, lower waist circumference, body mass index(BMI), diastolic blood pressure(DBP), and smoking and drinking rate(all P < 0.05). The YDSH rating scores of YX group [28.5(21.0-36.0)] were significantly higher than NYX group [13.0(8.0-22.0)](P < 0.001), and the typical symptoms of YX group included vexing heat in the chest, palms and soles, dizziness, dry eyes, string-like and fine pulse, soreness and weakness of lumbus and knees, palpitations, reddened cheeks, and tinnitus(all P < 0.05). The ratio of non-dipper hypertension in YX group was higher than in NYX group(56.9% vs 44.4%, P = 0.004). Compared with NYX group, 24 h DBP standard deviation(SD), nighttime DBP SD, Si-Shi DBP, Si-Shi mean arterial pressure(MAP), Hi-Shi systolic blood pressure(SBP), Hi-Shi DBP, Hi-Shi MAP, Zi-Shi SBP, Zi-Shi DBP, Zi-Shi MAP, ChouShi SBP SD, Chou-Shi DBP SD, Chou-Shi SBP coefficient of variation(CV) were lower in YX group(all P < 0.05). Binary Logistic Regression analysis showed that the diagnosis of YDSH was positively correlated with age, heart rate, YDSH rating scores, and four TCM symptoms including vexing heat in the chest, palms and soles, string-like and fine pulse, soreness and weakness of lumbus and knees, and reddened cheeks(all P < 0.05), but was negatively correlated with smoking(P﹥0.05). In addition, the diagnosis of YDSH was positively correlated with daytime SBP SD, nighttime SBP SD, nighttime SBP CV, and Hi-Shi SBP CV, but was negatively correlated with 24 h SBP CV, daytime DBP SD, nighttime DBP SD, and Hi-Shi DBP(all P < 0.05). Hi-Shi SBP CV had independent and positive correlation with the diagnosis of YDSH after adjusting the variables of age, gender, course of hypertension, BMI, waist circumference, SBP, DBP, heart rate, smoking and drinking(P = 0.029). Diagnostic model of YDSH was established and verified based on the random forest. The results showed that the calculation accuracy, specificity and sensitivity were 77.3%, 77.8% and 76.9%, respectively. CONCLUSION: The BPR was significantly attenuated in YDSH patients, including lower 24 h DBP SD and nighttime DBP SD, and Hi-Shi SBP CV is independently correlated with the diagnosis of YDSH. The prediction accuracy of diagnosis model of YDSH based on the random forest was good, which could be valuable for clinicians to differentiate YDSH and non-Yin deficiency patients for more effective hypertensive treatment of TCM.

目的评估通调针刺法联合康复疗法治疗气虚血瘀型脑梗死后运动障碍的临床疗效。方法将60例气虚血瘀型脑梗死后运动障碍患者随机分为对照组和治疗组,每组30例。两组患者均给予基础治疗,对照组患者给予康复治疗,治疗组患者给予康复治疗联合通调针刺法治疗,两组疗程均为4周。比较治疗前后两组患者简化Fugl-Meyer评估(Fugl-Meyer assessment,FMA)量表评分和日常生活活动能力(activity of daily living,ADL)量表评分、气虚血瘀证证候积分、血清转铁蛋白(transferrin,TF)和神经生长因子(nerve growth factor,NGF)水平,对比两组总体疗效。结果治疗组脱落2例患者,对照组脱落1例患者。与治疗前比较,两组患者治疗后FMA量表评分和ADL量表评分均显著上升(P<0.05),气虚血瘀证证候积分显著降低(P<0.05),血清TF和NGF水平显著升高(P<0.05),且治疗组FMA量表评分和ADL量表评分及血清TF和NGF水平升高程度、气虚血瘀证证候积分降低程度均显著大于对照组(P<0.05)。治疗组临床疗效显著优于对照组(P<0.05)。结论通调针刺法联合康复疗法治疗气虚血瘀型脑梗死后运动障碍疗效显著。

序贯性血液净化机治疗中毒所致的多器官功能障碍的临床效果及安全性评估

目的:研究序贯性血液净化机治疗中毒所致的多器官功能障碍的临床效果及安全性。方法:选取2020年5月至2022年2月新疆医科大学第一附属医院收治的110例中毒所致多器官功能障碍综合征(MODS)患者,采用随机数表法将其分为序贯性血液净化组和单种血液净化组,每组55例。对比两组患者在不同血液净化治疗下营养代谢指标、肠道屏障功能指标、急性生理与慢性健康量表(APACHEⅡ)评分、MODS早期预测评分系统及重症监护室(ICU)住院时间,同时记录不同血液净化治疗期间的并发症发生率。结果:两组治疗7d后,序贯性血液净化组患者的血红蛋白(Hb)、白蛋白(ALB)、胱抑素A(PAB)以及总胆固醇(TC)高于单种血液净化组,谷丙转氨酶(ALT)和甘油三酯(TG)均低于单种血液净化组,差异有统计学意义(t=4.454、4.474、13.22、2.035、51.358、2.195,P<0.05)。两组治疗7d后,钾离子(K+)及钠离子(Na+)差异无统计学意义(P>0.05)。序贯性血液净化组治疗7d后谷氨酸水平及谷氨酰胺水平高于单种血液净化组,尿乳果糖/甘露醇(L/M)比值低于单种血液净化组,差异有统计学意义(t=32.83、3.435、4.132,P<0.05)。序贯性血液净化组治疗7d后APACHEⅡ评分、MODS评分低于单种血液净化组,ICU住院时间短于单种血液净化组,差异有统计学意义(t=4.438、4.481、7.421,P<0.05),血液净化治疗并发症发生率低于单种血液净化组,差异有统计学意义(χ^(2)=5.238,P<0.05)。结论:序贯性血液净化治疗相比于单种血液净化治疗,在中毒所致的多器官功能障碍综合征治疗中可更好的促进调节机体营养代谢指标,改善肠道屏障功能,康复效果更好,并发症发生率较低,同时缩短了ICU住院时间。

肾虚血瘀型不明原因复发性流产肠道菌群特征观察及证型相关分析

目的观察肾虚血瘀型不明原因复发性流产(unexplained recurrent spontaneous abortion,URSA)患者未孕状态下肠道微生态特点及与正常女性粪便中肠道菌群的差异;探讨URSA肾虚血瘀型与肠道菌群是否存在一定的相关性。方法收集2020年9月—2021年1月就诊于黑龙江中医药大学附属第一医院妇科门诊和住院部的患者作为研究对象:试验组(30例)为URSA肾虚血瘀型未孕患者、对照组(40例)为正常未孕女性。收集基本信息、中医证候等资料,采集粪便标本,通过高通量测序方法检测肠道菌群,并对其进行定性、定量分析。结果URSA肾虚血瘀型患者与正常女性肠道菌群的物种组成、丰度,Alpha、Beta多样性存在差异。URSA患者年龄与粪球菌、梭状杆菌、厌氧菌、双歧杆菌成正相关;流产次数与罗氏菌属、丹毒丝菌科正相关,与真杆菌属负相关;中医证候积分与粪球菌属呈正相关,与巨球型菌属、卡氏伯克霍氏菌、毛螺菌属呈负相关;变形杆菌门在URSA肾虚细化证型中存在显著差异。结论URSA肾虚血瘀型患者与正常女性肠道优势菌群的丰度比例存在差异,造成差异的主要贡献菌群不同。
