ObjectiveTo investigate the mechanism of Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma(AMR) in the treatment of slow-transmission constipation(STC) by observing the effects of AMR on short-chain fatty acids and intestinal barries in STC mice. MethodForty-eight male KM mice were randomly divided into blank group, model group, AMR low-, medium-, high-dose groups(2.5, 5, 10 g·kg-1) and mosapride group(2.5 mg·kg-1). Except for the blank group, all groups were gavaged with loperamide suspension(5 mg·kg-1) twice daily for 14 d to construct the STC mouse model. At the same time, each drug administration group was given the corresponding drug by gavage for consecutive 14 d, the blank and model groups were gavaged with equal volume of distilled water. The effects of the treatment of AMR on body mass, defecation frequency, fecal water content and intestinal propulsion rate of mice were observed, the pathological changes of mouse colon were observed by hematoxylin-eosin(HE) staining and periodic acid-Schiff(PAS) staining, the levels of gastrin(GAS) and motilin(MTL) in serum were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA), gas chromatography-mass spectrometry(GC-MS) was used to detect the contents of short-chain fatty acids(SCFAs) in mouse feces, real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction(Real-time PCR) and Western blot were used to determine the mRNA and protein expression levels of zonula occludens-1(ZO-1), Occludin, and Claudin-1 in the colon of mice. ResultCompared with the blank group, the body mass, defecation frequency, fecal water content and intestinal propulsion rate of mice in the model group were significantly decreased(P<0.05, P<0.01), the arrangement of colonic tissues was disordered, and the number of goblet cells was reduced, the levels of GAS and MTL in serum were significantly decreased(P<0.01), and the levels of SCFAs in the feces were on a decreasing trend, with the contents of acetic acid, propionic acid, butyric acid, isobutyric acid and valeric acid were significantly decreased(P<0.05, P<0.01), the mRNA and protein expression levels of ZO-1, Occludin and Claudin-1 in the colonic tissues were significantly decreased(P<0.01). The above results suggested that STC mouse model was successfully constructed. Compared with the model group, the body mass, defecation frequency, fecal water content and intestinal propulsion rate of mice in AMP administration groups all increased significantly(P<0.05, P<0.01), the mucosal layer of the colonic tissues was structurally intact without obvious damage, and the number of goblet cells increased, serum levels of GAS and MTL were significantly increased(P<0.01), the contents of SCFAs in the feces were all on a rising trend, with the contents of acetic, propionic, butyric and isobutyric acids rising significantly(P<0.05, P<0.01), the mRNA and protein expression levels of ZO-1, Occludin and Claudin-1 in the colonic tissues were significantly increased(P<0.05, P<0.01). ConclusionAMR is able to improve the constipation symptoms in STC mice, and its mechanism may be related to increasing the contents of SCFAs in the intestine as well as promoting the mRNA and protein expression levels of ZO-1, Occludin and Claudin-1 in the colon.

Objective:To investigate the effects of breast milk to total milk intake ratio during hospitalization on the duration of antibiotic therapy in preterm infants less than 34 weeks of gestation.Methods:Clinical data of preterm infants ( n=1 792) less than 34 gestational weeks were retrospectively collected in 16 hospitals of Jiangsu Province Neonatal-Perinatal Cooperation Network from January 1, 2019, to December 31, 2021. The days of therapy (DOT) were used to evaluate the duration of antibiotic administration. The median DOT was 15.0 d (7.0-27.0 d). The patients were divided into four groups based on the quartiles of DOT: Q 1 (DOT≤7.0 d), Q 2 (7.0 d<DOT≤15.0 d), Q 3 (15.0 d<DOT≤27.0 d) and Q 4 (DOT>27.0 d) groups. According to the breast milk intake ratio (breast milk intake to total milk intake during hospitalization×100%), they were also divided into four groups: very-low-ratio breastfeeding group (breast milk intake ratio≤25%), low-ratio breastfeeding group (25%<breast milk intake ratio≤50%), medium-ratio breastfeeding group (50%<breast milk intake ratio≤75%) and high-ratio breastfeeding group (breast milk intake ratio>75%). Univariate analysis ( Chi-square test and Kruskal-Wallis rank-sum test) was used to analyze the factors influencing DOT. Spearman correlation analysis and trend Chi-square test were used to explore the relationship between breast milk intake ratio and DOT. After using multiple imputations to address missing data, two models were constructed after adjusting for different factors, and multinomial logistic regression model was applied to evaluate the effects of the breast milk intake ratio on DOT. Finally, sensitivity analysis was conducted to assess the stability of the models. Results:(1) Of the 1 792 preterm infants, there were 507 (28.3%) in the Q 1 group, 422 (23.5%) in the Q 2 group, 438 (24.4%) in the Q 3 group and 425 (23.7%) in the Q 4 group. (2) The median values of DOT in the very-low-ratio, low-ratio, medium-ratio and high-ratio breastfeeding groups were 20.0 d (11.0-31.0 d), 20.0 d (11.0-32.0 d), 13.0 d (6.0-25.8 d) and 10.0 d (4.0-21.0 d), respectively. Compared with the very-low-ratio and low-ratio breastfeeding groups, the medium-ratio and high-ratio breastfeeding groups had shorter DOT (all P<0.05). (3) After adjusting for factors with P<0.1 (prenatal glucocorticoid exposure, antimicrobial use within 24 h before delivery, gestational age at delivery, birth weight, Apgar score≤7 at 1 min, neonatal respiratory distress syndrome, infectious pneumonia and early-onset neonatal sepsis) between the DOT quartile groups, it showed that medium-ratio and high-ratio breastfeeding were protective factors in contrast to very-low-ratio breastfeeding in the Q 2, Q 3 and Q 4 groups as compared with the Q 1 group [Q 2 group: OR=0.50 (95% CI: 0.30-0.85) and OR=0.36 (95% CI: 0.26-0.51); Q 3 group: OR=0.31 (95% CI: 0.18-0.55) and OR=0.20 (95% CI: 0.14-0.29); Q 4 group: OR=0.22 (95% CI: 0.12-0.42) and OR=0.17 (95% CI: 0.12-0.26)]. Conclusion:Breast milk intake accounting for over 50% of total milk intake has a positive impact on reducing DOT in premature infants requiring antibiotics, which suggests that breastfeeding should be actively encouraged.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the effects of Guben Huatan Tongmai Recipe (GBHTTMR), a compound Chinese herbal recipe, on expressions of macrophages and cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) of aortic endothelia in rats with syndrome of phlegm blocking blood vessel, and to explore the pathogenesis of the phlegm-pathogen. METHODS: Fifty normal male Wistar rats, 7-week in age, were randomly divided into five groups: normal control group, untreated group, high-dose GBHTTMR-treated group, low-dose GBHTTMR-treated group and simvastatin-treated group, with 10 rats in each group. Syndrome of phlegm blocking blood vessel was induced in rats of the latter 4 groups by feeding the rats with high lipid diet. Levels of blood lipid were compared among the 5 groups. The expressions of macrophages and CAMs in aortic endothelia were tested by immunohistochemical staining method. RESULTS: The level of blood lipid, and the expressions of macrophages and CAMs showed statistical differences between the normal control group and the untreated group (P<0.01), and between the untreated group and the low-, high-dose GBHTTMR-treated and simvastatin-treated groups as well (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: GBHTTMR can decrease the level of serum cholesterol and triglycerides, and increase the level of high density lipoprotein. It also can inhibit the expressions of macrophages, intercellular adhesion molecule-1, vascular cell adhesion molecule-1, P-selectin, and E-selectin.

AIM: To analyze curative effect of four regulating-intestines prescriptions (Wumei Wan, Baitouweng Tang, Shenling Baizhu San and Tongxie Yao-fang) on the treatment of ulcerative colitis (UC) through summing up the previous animal experimental results.METHODS: We collected the conclusions in the papers related to four regulating-intestines prescriptions for the treatment of UC which were published recently, made comparisons from the aspectsof symptoms, physical sign, pathological change, cytokine and its protein expression, blood adhesion molecule, cell apoptosis and controlling gene and analyzed the pathogenesis of UC and action mechanism of four regulating-intestines prescriptions. Four regulating-intestines prescriptions included Wumei Wan,Baitouweng Tang, Shenling Baizhu San and Tongxie Yaofang. Wumei Wan is from Treatise on Exogenous Febrile Diseases and Synopsis of the Golden Chamber, which consists of dark plum, asarum herb, dried ginger, Chinese goldthread, Chinese angelica root, aconite root, pricklyash peel, cassia twig,ginseng (sun-dried ginseng) and bark of cork tree and has marked effect in treating colic caused by ascariasis and persistent dysentery. Baitouweng Tang, from Treatise on Exogenous Febrile Diseases, consists of medicinal herbs such as pulsatilla root, Chinese goldthread, bark of cork tree and ash bark, which has functions of clearing away the heat-evil, expelling superficial evils and relieving dysentery. In addition, it has marked effect in treating heat-type dysentery. Shenling Baizhu San, from Prescriptions of Peaceful benevolent Dispensary, consists of medicinal herbs such as pulp of lotus seed, coix seed, amomum fruit, balloon flower root, white hyacinth bean, poria, ginseng (sun-dried ginseng), glycyrrhiza, bighead atractylodes and rhizoma dioscoreae, which has the nature of replenishing qi to invigorate the spleen and eliminate wetness to arrest diarrhea and has marked effect on treating diarrhea due to the hypofunction of spleen. Tongxie Yao-fang which is from The Complete Works of Zhang Jingyue consists of four herbals of agehead atractylodes, root of herbaceous peony, dried tangerine peel and ledebouriella root and has the functions of soothing liver and invigorating spleen and stopping diarrhea, and has marked effect on treating liver sthenia and deficient spleen, borborygmus and abdominal pain and diarrhea.RFSULTS: ① Because UC is a chronic protracted dysentery with deficiency of vital energy and existing of evil energy, the vital energy will be harmed if its treatment is specialized in removing and dissolving the stagnation, evil energy will continue to exist and stagnation will continue to accumulate if its treatment is specialized in strengthening vital energy and inducing astringency. Only supporting healthy energy and expelling evil energy is the correct therapy method. This is in accordance with the main treatment of Wumei Wan ②Eliminating dampness and pathogenic heat from the blood to treat diarrhea is the main treatment method of Baitouweng Tang, and this is incompletely suitable for the treatment of UC.③Shenling Baizhu San had the effect on soothing liver and invigorating spleen and stopping diarrhea, and this is also incompletely suitable for the treatment of UC. ④ The prescription of Tongxie Yaofang is used for treating diarrhea caused by deficient spleen and liver sthenia, and spleen controlled by liver, and abnormal ascent and descent. It accords with main pathogenesis of UC, deficient spleen, excessive dampness of deficient spleen and it is weaker in invigorating the spleen in catabasis of UC than Shenling Baizhu San. Therefore, Wumei Wan has the best curative effect,Baitouweng Tang the second, Shengling Baizhu San the third and Tongxie Yaofang a little poor.CONCLUSION: UC belongs to recurrent dysentery, and its pathogenesis is in accordance with the main treatment of Wumei Wan, but not the other three prescriptions, so Wumei Wan is the most efficient prescription in treating ulcerative colitis. Diagnosis and treatment based on an overall analysis of signs and symptoms of TCM is the premise of obtaining the best curative effect. Modeling of animal tests must be consistent with the type of syndrome of the traditional Chinese medicine. Ating ulcerative colitis (UC) from aspects such as symptom, physical sign, pathological changes, adherence factor, cytokine and its protein expression, apoptosis and its controlling gene by means of modeling, which proves their functions and effects are different and their curative effect are also different due to their different ingredient though they all have the functions of treating. Results of this test show Wumei Wan has the best curative effect, Baitouweng Tang the second, Shenling Baizhu San the third and Tongxie Yaofang a little poor[1-11] Mechanism of four regulating-intestines prescription in the treatment of ulcerative colitis is discussed from the viewpoints of traditional Chinese medicine as follows.

OBJECTIVE: To study the role of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kappaB) and cycloxygenase-2 (COX-2) in the onset of phlegm obstruction due to lung-deficiency in rats and the therapeutic mechanism of Huatan Recipe. METHODS: Twenty-four SD rats were randomly divided into normal group, model group and treatment group, with 8 rats in each group. The rats in the model group and treatment group were exposed to sulfur dioxide and cold wind to establish the rat model of phlegm obstruction due to lung-deficiency, and the rats in the treatment group were also treated with Huatan Recipe, a compound traditional Chinese medicine. The expression of NF-kappaB in the bronchial epithelial cells of the rats was tested with the method of immunohistochemistry, and the COX-2 mRNA in the lung tissues of the rats was measured by using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. RESULTS: The expressions of NF-kappaB and COX-2 mRNA in rats of the model group were higher than those of the normal group (P<0.01), and the expressions of NF-kappaB and COX-2 mRNA in rats of the treatment group were obviously lower than those of the model group (P<0.01). CONCLUSION: The NF-kappaB and COX-2 play an important role in the onset of phlegm obstruction in rats. Huatan Recipe may prevent the development of phlegm obstruction by down-regulating the expressions of NF-kappaB and COX-2 mRNA.
