Establishment and evaluation of a mouse model of bronchial asthma with Yin deficiency syndrome

Objective: To establish and evaluate a mouse model of bronchial asthma with Yin deficiency syndrome. Methods: The mouse model of bronchial asthma with Yin deficiency syndrome was established by the treatment with injecting ovalbumin(OVA) two times to sensitize, inhaling OVA 14 times to stimulate, and using thyroxin through lavage during late stimulation. This model was evaluated through body weight, asthmatic behaviors, respiratory function, autonomous activity, lung pathology, and pulmonary fluid clearance. Results: OVA combined with thyroxin was an appropriate method to induce the mouse model with increased food and water intake, autonomous activity, asthmatic behaviors score, and respiratory rate, decreased body weight, tidal volume, and wet/dry ratio of lung, and changed with pathology of lung tissue. The changes of the above mentioned parameters indicated that the model was the bronchial asthma with Yin deficiency syndrome. Conclusion: The OVA combined with thyroxin is a good pattern to establish a mouse model of bronchial asthma with Yin deficiency syndrome successfully, which can highly simulate the clinical symptoms of this disease.

Study on syndrome differentiation based on pharmacology of syndrome management system-a case of Qi and Yin deficiency syndrome

Taking the Qi and Yin deficiency syndrome as an example,the research method of pharmacology of syndrome management system was proposed.By means of text mining,systematic pharmacology and target analysis,to attempt to reveal the essence of the corresponding syndrome by studying the drugs and targets of Qi and Yin deficiency.Fourteen Chinese herbs treating Qi and Yin deficiency were retrieved and used more than 30 times,and 9,317 related targets were predicted.The common targets of action were 85.Topological analysis was carried out by using degree centrality,closeness centrality and betweenness centrality to confirm that estrogen receptor(ESR1),tumor necrosis factor(TNF),D(2)dopamine receptor(DRD2),vitamin D3 receptor(VDR),glucocorticoid receptor(NR3C1),acetylcholinesterase(ACHE)and endothelin-1(EDN1)were highly correlated with Qi and Yin deficiency syndrome.Through the target to find Qi and Yin deficiency syndrome corresponding to 17 categories of diseases.A new idea was provided for studying the biological essence of TCM clinical syndrome differentiation.

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.

A study on the clinical prediction model of the yin deficiency type of perimenopausal syndrome

Background:The yin deficiency type of perimenopausal syndrome(PMS)as a common category of PMS based on the theory of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)has a high prevalence with severe symptoms and long course of disease.Therefore,it is necessary to construct a prediction model to assist in diagnosis.Objective:This study aimed to investigate the independent predictors of the yin deficiency type of PMS and to develop a clinical prediction model of this disease.Methods:PMS patients who attended the Third Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang Chinese Medical University between February 2020 and August 2023 were selected and divided chronologically into training and validation groups.Logistic regression analysis was applied in the training group to clarify the independent predictors of the yin deficiency type of PMS,and a nomogram was plotted.Internal and external validations were performed in the training and validation groups to evaluate the model’s accuracy,goodness of fit,and clinical adaptability.Results:Hot flashes and sweating(≥10 episodes/day),palpitations,emotional fluctuations,and abnormal sexual activity were independent predictors of the yin deficiency type of PMS(P>0.05).Based on the clinical prediction model constructed,the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve(AUR OC)in the training group was 0.989(95%CI 0.980–0.998),and the AUR OC in the validation group was 0.971(95%CI 0.940–0.999).This demonstrates that the model has superior prediction performance.The Hosmer-Lemeshow test was used to evaluate the model’s goodness of fit with P=0.596 for the training group and P=0.883 for the validation group,indicating a good fit.The decision curve analysis(DCA)curve and clinical impact curve(CIC)indicated good clinical adaptability.Conclusion:The model can accurately predict the occurrence of the yin deficiency type of PMS,which may help clinicians identify such patients at an early stage.

Consensus on diagnostic criteria for Yin deficiency syndrome in hypertension:a modified Delphi study

OBJECTIVE:To reach consensus on the diagnostic criteria for Yin deficiency syndrome in hypertension(YDSH)patients by a modified Delphi method.METHODS:Our study was consistent with T/CACM 1032-2017.The methodology of RAND/UCLA appropriateness was used to develop consensus guidance statements.A nationwide panel of experienced clinical experts from 19 provinces was constructed.These experts were all prominent in Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM)of cardiovascular diseases.This consensus process consisted of two rounds of questionnaires and a final round of consultation to analyze the weight score of each item.Moreover,the data extraction process is carried out independently by third-party researchers(LIANG Junya,SUN Yang,and DU Xiaona).When there is disagreement in all three rounds,the expert panel group(odd number)are invited to vote,and the one with more votes wins.In the questionnaires,participants were asked to rate the appropriateness of each syndrome item using a nine-point Likert scale.The consensus was defined as a panel median rating 1-3 or 7-9 without disagreement.And then the diagnostic criteria of YDSH were formed according to the weight score in the final round.RESULTS:Twenty-eight experts(84.8%)participated in the first round,and thirty-one(93.9%)finished the second round.After two rounds,the consensus of YDSH was reached on 11 items(25.6%),including symptoms,signs,and pulse condition.Twenty-one experts(63.6%)completed the final round in which they used a grading system for each item.Red tongue with scanty fur had the highest weighting(22.8%),followed by heat in the palms and soles(20.1%).CONCLUSIONS:The consensus-based diagnostic criteria for YDSH,formed by a modified Delphi method,can be widely incorporated in TCM.A further clinical study will be conducted to analyze the diagnosis value and cut-off score of our YDSH criteria.

Liver metabolomic characteristics in three different rat models of Yin deficiency based on ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled to quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the mechanism of Yin deficiency syndrome(YDS) by analyzing the liver metabolomic characteristics of three different Yin deficiency rat models METHODS:Following the TCM etiology,for clinical features and pathological manifestations of modern medicine,three kinds of animal models of Yin deficiency were induced and replicated.Totally 48 Sprague-Dawley(SD) male rats were randomly divided into blank group,irritation induced model group,Fuzi-Ganjiang induced model group,and thyroxine-reserpine induced model group.After successful development of model,the ultraperformance liquid chromatography coupled to quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry was carried out to detect metabolites in each group.The metabolites of rat liver were analyzed for the characteristics of their biomarkers.The pathway enrichment analysis and metabolic network construction were performed through various online databases including Metabolite Biology Role,Human Metabolome Database,MetaboAnalyst,and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes.RESULTS:The SD rats in the experimental group showed symptoms like less weight gain,reduced diet and water intake,high body temperature,increased liver and kidney indexes,and abnormal liver and kidney tissue morphology.Moreover,the rats showed high increased levels of serum cyclic adenosine monophosphate,estradiol,alanine transaminase,and aspartate aminotransferase and decreased levels of cyclic guanosinc monophosphate and testosterone.We found four key interrelated metabolic pathways in the liver tissue metabolomics,including the biosynthesis of pantothenic acid and coenzyme A,and metabolism of alpha-linolenic acid metabolism,glycerophospholipid metabolism,and sphingolipid.CONCLUSION:The liver and kidney YDS is closely related to the biosynthesis of pantothenic acid and CoA and abnormal metabolism of α-linolenic acid,glycerophospholipid,and sphingolipid in SD rats.

Metabonomic phenotype and identification of “heart blood stasis obstruction pattern” and “qi and yin deficiency pattern” of myocardial ischemia rat models

The traditional Chinese medicine concepts of "Xinxueyuzuzheng (heart blood stasis obstruction pattern)" and "Qiyinliangxuzheng (qi and yin deficiency pattern)" for myocardial ischemia rat models were constructed in the present study. Endogenous metabolites in rat plasma were analyzed using the GC/TOF-MS-based metabonomic method. Significant metabolic differences were observed between the control and two model groups, and the three groups were distinguished clearly by pattern recognition. Compared with those of the control, the levels of hydroxyproline, threonic acid, glutamine and citric acid were strikingly up or down-regulated in model rats. The metabolites contributing most to the classification between the two "pattern" rats were identified, such as valine, serine, threonine, ornithine, hydroxyproline, lysine, 2-hydroxybutanoic acid, 3-hydroxybutanoic acid, galactofuranose and inositol. These compounds were indicated as the potential biomarkers. The results suggested that the two "patterns" are involved in dysfunction in oxidative stress, energy metabolism and amino acid metabolism. These findings also provided the substantial foundation for exploring the scientific connotation of these two "Zhengxing (pattern types)" of myocardial ischemia, and "Bianzheng (pattern identification)".

Summary and correlation analysis of TCM syndromes in 159 elderly patients with acute myeloid leukemia

Objective:To investigate the characteristics of TCM syndromes in elderly patients with acute myeloid leukemia(AML)at the onset,and to analyze the main syndrome types and their correlation with age,percentage of bone marrow blasts,and genetic prognostic stratification.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on 159 AML patients aged over 60 years who were diagnosed and treated in our hospital,and the clinical data were collected and analyzed statistically.Results:In 159 elderly AML patients,the main clinical symptoms were fatigue,poor appetite,conscious fever,and various hemorrhages.The main syndromes were Ying(42.01%),Wei(31.25%),Essential(14.81%)and Blood(11.69%);the syndromes are divided into Qi and Yin deficiency(32.70%),Qi and blood deficiency(30.19%),true Yin deficiency(28.03%)and Qi heat and blood(8.81%).The age difference between the two groups was statistically significant(P<0.001),and the multiple comparison results showed that the age of the Qi-blood deficiency group was younger than the true-Yin deficiency group and the Qi-Yin deficiency group;the percentage of bone marrow blasts was statistically significant in the three groups at the initial diagnosis(P<0.05),multiple comparison results showed that the percentage of bone marrow blasts in the true Yin deficiency group was higher than that in the Qi-blood deficiency group and the Qi-Yin deficiency group;the genetic prognostic stratification of the three groups was statistically significant(P<0.05),multiple comparisons.The results showed that the genetic prognosis of the true Yin deficiency group was poorer than that of the Qi and blood deficiency group and the Qi and Yin deficiency group.Conclusion:The most common clinical symptoms of elderly AML patients are fatigue,the disease is located in the bone marrow,and the disease is Ying,Wei,essence,and blood.With the increase in the patient's age,the TCM syndrome types tend to be more insufficiency of true Yin and deficiency of both Qi and Yin,and the prognosis of patients with insufficiency of true Yin is poor.It provides a directional scientific basis for the treatment of senile AML with integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine.

刘树民教授治疗气阴两虚型甲状腺功能亢进症临床经验

甲状腺功能亢进症(简称甲亢)是一种临床常见病、多发病。现代医学治疗甲亢的方案主要是口服甲巯咪唑片、放射性碘治疗和手术治疗,上述3种方法不良反应较多,后期容易出现甲状腺功能减退。刘树民教授从事内科杂病治疗30余年,擅长运用中医辨证思维治疗各种疑难杂症。他认为,甲亢的病因隐匿且复杂,其基本病机为本虚标实。本虚以气阴两虚为主;标实以肝郁气滞较为常见。研究从病因病机、临床特征、治疗等方面系统分析、总结了刘树民教授运用芪玄抑甲宁为基础方治疗甲亢气阴两虚证的临证经验。建议在辨证治疗时注意以下5个要点:第一,注重疏理肝之郁气。肝气郁结是标实的主要外在表现,理气调肝为其治疗大法。第二,注重肝与心对调节情志的协同之功。肝藏血与心主血、肝藏魂与心藏神乃调节情绪、情志,维持精神、思维愉悦的关键,临证时应肝、心同调,以求情志畅达。第三,注重肝与肾的子母生化关系。肾、肝为母子之脏,肾水涵木,肾阴可滋生肝阴,以制约肝阳。第四,注重肝与脾的关系。肝和脾属五行相克,但相克太过即出现肝木乘脾土的情况,应注重肝脾之生克以求木土之平衡。第五,注意饮食。避免进食辛辣之品以防耗伤阴津及削弱中药滋阴之效。
