ObjectiveTo investigate the antiviral effect of Menispermi Rhizoma total alkaloids and its relationship with the type Ⅰ interferon (IFN-Ⅰ) signaling pathway. MethodThe effects of Menispermi Rhizoma total alkaloids on the intracellular replication of influenza A virus (H1N1), vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV), and cerebral myocarditis virus (EMCV) were detected by fluorescent inverted microscope, flow cytometry, Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR), and Western blot. A mouse model infected with H1N1 was constructed, and the mice were divided into a control group, H1N1 model group, Menispermi Rhizoma total alkaloids groups (10, 20, 30 mg·kg-1), and oseltamivir group (40 mg·kg-1), so as to study the effects on the weight and survival rate of infected mice. Real-time PCR was used to detect the activation effect of Menispermi Rhizoma total alkaloids on the IFN-Ⅰ pathway in cells, and the relationship between the antiviral effect of Menispermi Rhizoma total alkaloids in IFNAR1 knockout A549 cells (IFNAR1-/--A549) and IFN-Ⅰ pathway was detected. ResultCompared with the control group, the virus proliferated significantly in the model group (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, Menispermi Rhizoma total alkaloids could significantly inhibit the replication of H1N1, VSV, and EMCV in vitro (P<0.01), inhibit the weight loss of the mice infected with the H1N1 in vivo, and improve the survival rate of mice (P<0.05). In addition, Menispermi Rhizoma total alkaloids activated the IFN-I pathway and relied on this pathway to exert the function of antiviral infection. ConclusionMenispermi Rhizoma total alkaloids exert antiviral effects in vivo and in vitro by activating the IFN-Ⅰ pathway.

Cold and heat belong to the eight-principal syndrome differentiation of traditional Chinese medicine, which can reflect the rise and fall of Yin and Yang in the body and the Yin and Yang nature of the disease. At present, traditional Chinese medicine has an inconsistent understanding of cold and heat in acute coronary syndrome. The emphasis on pathogenic factors of cold and heat is biased, and the elements of cold and heat syndrome are not fully reflected in the scale. Therefore, the literature has been reviewed from the perspectives of etiology, pathogenesis, symptom elements, and test signs with drugs. From the perspective of etiology, both cold evil and heat evil can increase the risk of acute coronary syndrome. It was previously believed that acute coronary syndrome occurs frequently in cold climates such as winter and spring. Based on this understanding, hot weather can also induce acute coronary syndrome, and different temperatures have different effects on patients of different ages and with different underlying diseases. In addition, artificial pathogenic factors such as excessive consumption of cold food and refrigeration air conditioners were added. From the perspective of pathogenesis, on the basis of the traditional ''asthenia in origin and asthenia in superficiality'' and ''phlegm stagnation'', it is found that Yin-cold and fire-heat can both cause paralysis of the heart chakra and pain induced by the blockage. The pathogenesis of acute coronary syndrome characterized by heat stagnation and coldness featuring heartburn should be distinguished from gastroesophageal reflux disease. Moreover, the pathogenesis of Yin cold coagulation and pulse stagnation and wind obstruction are different. The acute coronary syndrome is in line with the wind characteristics of frequent changes and can be treated with wind medicine. From the perspective of syndrome elements, the syndrome elements such as cold condensation, heat accumulation, and toxicity are analyzed, and the use of basic syndrome elements and their combination forms facilitates clinical and scientific research. In addition, according to the test sign with the drug, it can be seen that the attributes of cold and heat of traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions for acute coronary syndrome can be explained according to the temperature-sensitive transient receptor potential (TRP) ion channel, thus proving the pathogenesis of cold and heat of acute coronary syndrome.

Objective:To clarify the risk factors for post-operative central nervous system infection (PCNSI) to provide references for prevention and treatment of PCNSI.Methods:A total of 397 patients with neurosurgery diseases, admitted to and accepted 403 surgeries in our hospital from February 1 st, 2015 to December 30 th, 2015, were chosen in our study; their clinical data were collected. The incidence of PCNSI was analyzed. Risk factors for PCNSI were analyzed by univariate analysis and multivariate Logistic regression analysis. The ajusted specific infection rate of PCNSI was calculated in 12 chief surgeons who performed≥8 operations during the study period to assess the influence of surgeons in PCNSI incidence. Results:The PCNSI incidence in these 397 patients was 9.2% (37/403). The cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) culture positive rate was 29.7% (11/37), including 6 (54.6%) with positive gram staining. Univariate analysis showed that as compared with the non-infected group (366 surgeries), patients in the PCSNI group (37 surgeries) had significantly higher National Nosocomial Infections Surveillance (NNIS) scale, significantly higher proportion of patients with preoperative stay>6 d, significantly longer operative duration, and statistically higher proportion of involvement of scrub nurses with experience in fewer than 8 procedures ( P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed operative duration ( OR=1.389, 95%CI: 1.202-1.606, P=0.000) and involvement of scrub nurses with experience in fewer than 8 procedures ( OR=2.860, 95%CI: 1.276-6.412, P=0.011) were independent risk factors for PCNSI. After adjustment by NNIS scale, the ajusted specific infection rate of PCNSI in 12 chief surgeons was 20.0%, 23.0%, 17.3%, 18.2%, 13.4%, 12.5%, 6.3%, 8.0%, 5.2%, 4.0%, 0.0%, and 0.0%, respectively, enjoying obvious differences. Conclusion:Specialized infection control training should give to surgeons with high adjusted specific infection rate of PCNSI; this training, shortening operative duration, and training of neurosurgery specialist nurses will be important measures to reduce PCNSI incidence.

Objective:To compare the effects of different acupoint compatibility on the efficacy of acupuncture-drug balanced anesthesia in the patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.Methods:A total of 140 patients of both sexes, aged 18-64 yr, with body mass index of 18.5-24.0 kg/m 2, of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅰ-Ⅲ, undergoing elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy under general anesthesia, were divided into 4 groups ( n=35 each) by a random number table method: general anesthesia group (group A), Hegu plus Neiguan group (group B), Hegu plus Neiguan plus Zusanli group (group C), and Hegu plus Neiguan plus Zusanli plus Sanyinjiao group (group D). Group B, group C and group D underwent percutaneous electrical stimulation of the corresponding acupoints from 30 min before induction of anesthesia to the end of operation, with a frequency of 2/100 Hz and disperse-dense waves.The intensity of stimulation was the maximum current that patients could tolerate.The intraoperative consumption of propofol and remifentanil and requirement for rescue analgesia were recorded.Sleep quality was assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) at 24 h before surgery and 24, 48 and 72 h after surgery.The extubation time and postoperative length of hospital stay were recorded.Adverse events such as intraoperative hypertension, hypotension, bradycardia and tachycardia were recorded. Results:Compared with group A, the intraoperative consumption of propofol and remifentanil and postoperative requirement for rescue analgesia were significantly reduced, the extubation time and postoperative length of hospital stay were shortened, and PSQI was decreased at 24 and 48 h after surgery in B, C and D groups ( P<0.05). Compared with group B and group C, PSQI was significantly decreased at 24 and 48 h after surgery, and postoperative hospitalization time was shortened in group D ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the PSQI and incidence of intraoperative hypertension, hypotension, bradycardia and tachycardia among the four groups ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Combination of Hegu, Neiguan, Zusanli and Sanyinjiao has a better effect on the efficacy of acupuncture-drug balanced anesthesia in the patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Objective To evaluate the curative effect of Jiejiu-Hugan decoction combined with polyene phosphatidylcholine capsules on the patients with alcoholic liver disease of liver-qi stagnation and spleen deficiency syndrome. Methods A total of 60 ALD patients were divided by random number table into two groups:combined treatment group (35 cases) and conventional treatment group (25 cases). Both groups received treatment according to the changes of symptomatic treatment. Besides, the conventional treatment group was treated with polyene phosphatidylcholine capsules, and combined treatment group was with both polyene phosphatidylcholine capsules and Jiejiu-Hugan decoction. Treatment last for 3 months. The improvement of liver function, blood lipid and the clinical symptoms and signs were observed. Results The total effective rate of the combined treatment group was 94.28%, whilethe conventional treatment group was 68%. The difference between two groups was statistically significant (χ2=7.255, P=0.007). After the treatment, the levels of AST (52.60 ± 9.48 U/L vs. 63.28 ± 19.92 U/L, t=2.964), TBil (18.91 ± 7.23 U/L vs. 27.41 ± 8.53 U/L, t=4.678) in the combined treatment group were significantly lower than that in the conventional treatment group (P<0.01). And TG (2.70 ± 0.52 mmol/L vs. 3.65 ± 0.74 mmol/L, t=4.809), LDL-C (3.56 ± 0.41 mmol/L vs. 4.20 ± 0.40 mmol/L, t=3.810) in the combined treatment group were significantly lower than that in the conventional treatment group (P<0.01). Conclusions Jiejiu-Hugan decoction combined with polyene phosphatidylcholine capsule can effectively improve ALD patients' liver function;reduce the level of blood lipid.
