“将/把”处置式历时形成及其动因研究

“将/把”处置式出现于唐代,至宋代基本定型,根据其形式表现,可以分为三类,分别是“将/把+O_(1)+V+O_(2)”形式、“将/把+O+V”形式和“将/把+O+V+Y”形式。处置式“将/把+O_(1)+V+O_(2)”是由连动式“将/把+O_(1)+V+O_(2)”重新分析而来,其内因是句式存在的多种理解提供了语义基础,外因是已有处置式的格式类推。处置式“将/把+O+V”的形成是为了适应诗词的格律要求,对句法成分进行调整的结果。处置式“将/把+O+V+Y”的形成是由于受到动补结构的影响,这体现了语法的系统性。

Origin, Flow of Formation Water and Hydrocarbon Accumulation in the Zhenwu Area of the North Jiangsu Basin, China

In order to understand the origin and flow of formation water and to evaluate the hydrocarbon accumulation and preservation conditions, the properties of formation water chemistry and dynamics of the Zhenwu area in the southern Gaoyou Sag, North Jiangsu Basin, China, have been investigated. The results show that Xuzhuang oilfield is infiltrated discontinuously by meteoric water under gravity, which consequently leads to the desalination of formation water. Formation water in the Zhenwu and Caozhuang oilfields is less influenced by meteoric water infiltration, and the origin is interpreted to be connate water. Hydrocarbon migration, accumulation and preservation are closely related to the hydrodynamic field of formation water. Formation water concentrates gradually during the process of centrifugal flow released by mudstone compaction and the centripetal flow of meteoric water infiltration, leading to the high salinity of the central part. The geological conditions of the southern fault-terrace belt are poor for hydrocarbon accumulation and preservation as meteoric water infiltration, leaching and oxidation, while the central part, i.e., northern Zhenwu and Caozhuang oilfields is beneficial for an abundance of hydrocarbon accumulation. Most of the large scale oil-~as fields locate herein.

CIS-Based Mapping and Zonation of Landslide Hazards in Xiaojiang Valley of Southwestern China

Through the field survey, previous researches and interpretation of aerial photos, a landslide information database of Xiaojiang Valley, Yunnan Province was set up based on the remote sensing (RS) and geographic information system (GIS) technologies. In the paper, a quantitative model for the landslide hazard assessment and zoning was presented, in which the potential energy could be obtained on basis of thorough analysis of the potential sliding volume, distance and direction of the landslide body. Taking landslide potential energy as the index of the hazard severity zonation, the study area was divided into severe, heavy, medium and light hazard zones.

Protective effects of Fufang Ejiao Jiang against aplastic anemia assessed by network pharmacology and metabolomics strategy

Objective To elucidate the mechanisms underlying the therapeutic effects of Fufang Ejiao Jiang(复方阿胶浆,FFEJJ)on aplastic anemia(AA)using integrated network pharmacology and serum metabolomics.Methods Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology(TCMSP),Pubmed,integrative pharmacology-based research platform of traditional Chinese medicine(TCMIP),and Bioinformatics Analysis Tool for Molecular mech ANism of Traditional Chinese Medicine(BATMAN-TCM)were used to identify the constituents and putative targets of FFEJJ.Gene Cards and DisGeNET databases were used to identify AA-associated targets.We constructed a herb-component-target network and analyzed the protein-protein interaction(PPI)network.Potential mechanisms were determined using Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG)pathway enrichment analyses.In addition,an AA model was established using acetylphenylhydrazine(APH)and cetylphenylhydrazine(CTX).Ultra-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry(UPLC-QTOF/MS)-based serum metabolomics was applied to screen potential metabolites and the related pathways associated with AA and the potential anti-anemic effects of FFEJJ.Results A total of 30 active components of FFEJJ and 24 targets were related to AA.PPI network analysis showed that VEGFA,AKT1,IL-6,CASP3,and ICAM1 were key nodes overlapping with proteins known to be related to AA.KEGG pathway enrichment analysis revealed that the presumed targets of FFEJJ were mainly associated with pathways linked to the promotion of hematopoiesis and improvement of the hematopoietic microenvironment.A total of 423 metabolite biomarkers were identified between the control and AA models,which are involved in the development of AA.In contrast,FFEJJ reversed the 79 differential metabolites altered by AA.Pathway analysis suggested that the synergistic effects of FFEJJ were mainly enriched in 24 metabolic pathways.Among them,sphingolipid metabolism,glycerophospholipid metabolism,and arachidonic acid metabolism were related to promoting hematopoiesis and improving the hematopoietic microenvironment,which partially conforms with network pharmacology.The interaction network formed by three key differential metabolites,including hydroxy-eicosatetraenoic acid(HETE),sphingosine 1-phosphate(S1 P),and lysophosphatidylcholine(lyso PC),and three predicted network targets(VEGFA,CASP3,and ICAM1)may be the potential mechanism underlying the anti-AA action of the multi-component of FFEJJ.Conclusion FFEJJ could be an alternative treatment option for AA.It acts by promoting hematopoiesis and improving the hematopoietic microenvironment.Network pharmacology-integrated metabolomics makes it possible to analyze TCMs from a systems perspective and at the molecular level.

Sheng Jiang San, traditional multi-herb formulation, exerts anti-influenza effects in vitro and in vivo via neuraminidaseinhibition and immune regulation

OBJECTIVE Sheng Jiang San(SJS),a multi-herb formulation,is used in treating high fever,thirsty and anxiety in ancient China and it is sometimes used to treat seasonal influenza in modern.However,there is no evidencebased investigation and mechanism research to support SJS′s anti-influenza efficacy.This study aims to investigate the anti-influenza effect of SJS and its possible mechanisms.METHODS In this study,we examined the inhibitory effect of SJS against different influenza viruses on Madin-Darby canine kidney cells.Influenza virus infected BALB/c mice were employed as in vivo model to evaluate the efficacy.Mice challenged with A/PR/8/34(H1N1)were orally administrated SJS 1 g·kg^-1 daily for seven days and monitored for 14 d.The survival rate,body mass changes,lung index,lung viral load,histopathologic changes and immune-regulation of the mice were measured.The underlying anti-influenza virus mechanisms were studied by a series of biological assays in vitro to determine if hemagglutinin,ribonucleoprotein complex or nerauminidase were targets of SJS.RESULTS SJS exerted a broad spectrum of inhibitory effects on multiple influenza strains in a dose-dependent manner.And IC50 of SJS against A/WSN/33(H1N1)was lower than 35 mg·L^-1.SJS also protected 50%of mice from influenza virus PR8 infection.The lung index and the lung viral load of SJS treated mice were signifi⁃cantly decrease compared with untreated mice.SJS 2 g·L^-1 inhibited 80%of neuraminidase enzymatic activity.SJS also up-regulated TNF-αand IFN-αand down-regulated IL-2 of influenza virus induced mice.CONCLUSION SJS is a useful formulation for treating influenza virus infection.

EFFECTS OF JIANG TANG FANG LONG FORMULA ON INSULIN PRODUCTION AND FUNCTION IN AN ANIMAL MODEL OF DIABETIC HEARING LOSS

Objective To study the influence of Jiang Tang Fang Long formula on insulin production and function in an animal model of diabetic hearing loss. Methods Wistar rats (n=60) were randomly divided into 6 groups (10 in each) to receive no treatment (the normal control, Group A), or to receive intra-peritoneal 55 mg/kg streptozotocin with (Groups C, D and E) or without (Group B) subsequent Jiang Tang Fang Long formula treatment at various doses or Yu Long Wan treatment (Group F). After 60 days, fasting blood glucose (FBG), body weight (BW) and fasting insulin (FINS) were recorded and the HOMA-IR and HOMA-βcalcu-lated. Insulin expression in pancreatic tissues was measured by radioimmunoassay. Results Compared with animals that received streptozotocin without rescue treatment (Group B), animals that received higher doses of Jiang Tang Fang Long formula(Groups D and E) showed improved indices of diabetes manifestation (P<0.05) and improved HOMA-β(P<0.05) in a dose-dependent manner, as well as improved insulin expression in pancreatic islets (P<0.05). The difference between low dose Jiang Tang Fang Long formula treatment (Group C) and Group B was not significant (P>0.05). Conclusion Our results suggest that Jiang Tang Fang Long formula may improve pancreatic β-cells function which may explain its efficacy in treating diabetic hearing loss.
