Traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of Helicobacter pylorirelated gastritis:The mechanisms of signalling pathway regulations

Helicobacter pylori-associated gastritis(HPAG)is a common condition of the gastrointestinal tract.However,extensive and long-term antibiotic use has resulted in numerous adverse effects,including increased resistance,gastrointestinal dysfunction,and increased recurrence rates.When these concerns develop,traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)may have advantages.TCM is based on the concept of completeness and aims to eliminate pathogens and strengthen the body.It has the potential to prevent this condition while also boosting the rate of Helicobacter pylori eradication.This review elaborates on the mechanism of TCM treatment for HPAG based on cellular signalling pathways,which reflects the flexibility of TCM in treating diseases and the advantages of multi-level,multipathway,and multi-target treatments for HPAG.

Screening of Traditional Chinese Medicine Prescription for Treating Damp-heat Diarrhea of Piglets

[Objective] The paper was to explore the therapeutic effect of traditional Chinese medicine on damp-heat diarrhea of piglets in summer.[Method] Three prescriptions were developed with a dozen of traditional Chinese medicines,and in vitro antibacterial test against swine standard Escherichia coli [O149：K91,K88 ac（C83907）] was conducted.Moreover,106 natural cases of diarrhea piglets caused by coinfection of damp-heat and E.coli through clinical and laboratory diagnosis were then treated.[Result] The oral liquids prepared by three traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions had certain antibacterial effect on standard pathogenic E.coli.Prescription 2 presented the strongest inhibitory effects on swine E.coli in vitro,with the MIC of 31.25 mg/m L.It had better therapeutic effect,and the effective rate reached 94.74%.[Conclusion] The prescription 2 mainly consisted of Coptis chinensis and Prunus mume might be effective in treatment of piglet diarrhea caused by damp heat and E.coli in clinic.

The efficacy and safety of anti-humidification traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of viral pneumonia: A meta-analysis

Objective A meta-analysis was used to evaluate the efficacy and safety of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)for dispelling dampness in the treatment of viral pneumonia.Methods The databases of CNKI,CBM,WanFang data,VIP,EMBASE,PubMed,and Cochrane library were searched,and the clinical trials of dispelling dampness TCM in the treatment of viral pneumonia were selected.The retrieval period is from the establishment of the database to December 2022.Stata 17.0 software was used to perform meta-analysis,and review manager 5.3 software was used to assess the risk of bias.Overall efficacy was evaluated by OR,and improvement in major clinical symptoms were evaluated by RR.Results A total of 20 randomized controlled trials were included,with a total of 2136 patients,including 1180 patients in the experimental group and 956 patients in the control group.Meta-analysis showed that TCM for dispelling dampness could significantly improve the efficacy of viral pneumonia patients[OR=2.652,95%CI=(2.187,3.217),Z=9.908,P<0.05];The child with abnormal lung X-rays returned to normal after treatment[RR=4.23,95%CI=(2.42,7.42),Z=5.04,P<0.05];In addition,patients had fewer adverse reactions to dispelling dampness TCM,and the safety of the trial was good.Conclusion This Meta-analysis further clarified the efficacy of TCM for dispelling dampness in the treatment of viral pneumonia by combining clinical data and has suggestive significance for the treatment of novel coronavirus pneumonia.

Treatment of Obesity with Western Medicine and Traditional Medicine:Based on PubMed and Science Direct Databases

The objective of this review was to collect the current published research on obesity and gain insight into the association of treatment based on a global aspect.The first section of the review will cover the treatment of obesity based on a Western medicine lens.The second section of the review will cover the treatment through a traditional approach based from different regions of the world(not including China).The third section of the review will cover treatment through a traditional Chinese medicine approach.The most commonly used electronic databases were used to search for articles related to obesity.The articles gathered consist of a broad spectrum from various parts of the world.Terms used in the search bar consisted of“obesity”,“BMI”,“acupuncture”,“traditional Chinese medicine”,etc.The majority of findings were collected from treatment based on both a western medicine and traditional Chinese medicine approach.The published literature collected is predominantly sourced from the online journal databases PubMed and Science Direct.Obesity is an ever-growing issue throughout society today.Different methods have shown effective results in treating this disease.It is crucial to continue exploring different treatment methods in hopes to solve this major public health issue.

Effect of polypeptide 2B1 on condition of dampness pattern in rats in terms of Traditional Chinese Medicine

OBJECTIVE： This study investigated how polypeptide 2B1 is involved in regulating and governing dampness in rat models with dampness pattern defined in terms of Traditional Chinese Medicine. METHODS： We randomly divided 48 SPF 10-week-old male Sprague-Dawley （SD） rats into a normal group, normal ＋ Aristolochic acid I （AA-I） for 5 min group, normal ＋ AA-I for 60 min group, dampness pattern group （DS-Group）, dampness pattern ＋ AA-I for 5 rain tern ＋ AA-I for 60 min group, and dampness pat- group. Groups were then treated accordingly. We took out the lung, stom- ach, liver, spleen, kidney, large intestine, and small intestine tissues to detect gene and protein expres- sion of organic anion transporter polypeptide 2B1 （OATP2B1）. RESULTS= Gene expression of OATP2B1 in spleen, kidney, and small intestine of rats with dampness pattern was lower than that in normal rats （P〈0.05）. The gene expressions of OATP2B1 in liver, stomach, large intestine, and small intestine were lower than that in control rats at different time points after being stimulated by AA-I （P〈0.05）. CONCLUSION There is coordination among multiple viscera in handling the condition of dampness, and the mechanism underlying the action may rely on regulating the expression of OATP2B1.

高氏流派从痰湿瘀阻论治少弱精子症

少弱精子症是临床常见病,也是男性不育的重要原因。目前中医治疗多从补肾入手,取得一定疗效。榆林高氏中医妇科流派认为,少弱精子症的发病与饮食、情志、劳逸失调密切相关。饮食不节,痰湿内盛,情志不畅,气滞血瘀,劳逸失调,损伤肾精。病位主要在脾,涉及肝、肾。病性“实多虚少”,以痰、湿、瘀实邪多见,肾虚精亏者较少。痰湿瘀阻为该病的主要病机,治法为“祛湿化痰,活血通络”,以自拟“生精汤”为主方,药物组成为陈皮、清半夏、茯苓等。此方特色鲜明,疗效突出,为中医临床提供更多思路和方法。

苍术健脾、燥湿的作用机制及研究进展

综述苍术健脾、燥湿的作用机制及研究进展。古代医家常用苍术治疗多种疾病的脾胃湿证。苍术有效成分能改善胃排空及小肠推进率;可增加胃泌素、胃动素等,促进胃酸分泌,增加胃肠动力;可降低血管活性肠肽水平,抑制肠蠕动亢进。苍术能双向调节胃肠功能紊乱,且还能改善胃黏膜的异常形态,减轻胃组织损伤,改善肠组织异常结构。苍术燥湿的主要有效成分为挥发油,可导致体液丢失,血黏度增加,影响唾液腺分泌,引起口干,降低肾脏水通道蛋白2的表达量。苍术及其提取物能降低大鼠胃、大肠、尿液中水通道蛋白含量,通过多脏器调节体内水液代谢。故苍术能从影响脏器形态、胃肠道激素水平、水通道蛋白表达等多方面达到健脾、燥湿的功效。

基于中医“痰湿”理论的肠道菌群及其代谢物与肥胖关系探讨

痰湿内生,随气升降,外达四肢,漫窜全身,形成肥胖。中药治理痰湿可实现肥胖的早防早治。肠道菌群及其代谢物参与宿主代谢,调节肠道菌群及其代谢物是防治肥胖的新思路。文章以中医痰湿理论、肠道菌群及其代谢物、肥胖三者的密切关系为切入点,以现有研究成果为基础,探讨肠道菌群及其代谢物在痰湿形成肥胖中可能发挥的作用,认为痰湿所致肥胖不同个体共性的肠道菌群及其代谢物或可作为特异指标成为肥胖痰湿人群新的微观辨识依据,提出肠道菌群及其代谢物将成为肥胖痰湿理论研究的关键点,为肥胖防治研究提供全新阐释,为中医痰湿理论的内涵拓展新的研究领域。

基于脾虚论治肥胖型2型糖尿病

《脾胃论》提出:“百病皆由脾胃衰而生也”。脾虚为百病之源,先天禀赋不足、饮食不节、过食肥甘、情志失调、劳倦内伤均可导致脾胃运化失常,湿阻中焦,膏浊内生,从而导致肥胖型2型糖尿病的发生发展。肥胖型2型糖尿病的发生主要责之于脾,痰、湿、浊、瘀为脾失运化的病理产物,加重了病程的进展,导致了疾病的发生。脾为后天之本,主运化,脾虚则运化失司。此文从脾虚致病理论出发,对肥胖型2型糖尿病的中医病因病机进行探讨,提出肥胖型2型糖尿病应从脾论治。
