The differential metabolites of Sangshen(Mori Fructus)with different maturities were studied to provide reference for the determination of Sangshen(Mori Fructus)harvest time.
Based on the metabolo micsmethod,the changes of chemical components in Sangshen(Mori Fructus)with different maturities were explored.The data of secondary metabolites in mulberry fruits was collected by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole/exactive Orbitrap mass spectrometry(UPLC-Q-Exactive Orbitrap MS).Multivariate statistical analysis methods such as principal component analysis(PCA)and partial least squares discriminant analysis(PLS-DA)were used to explore the differences in metabolic components of Sangshen(Mori Fructus)with different maturities.
There were significant differences in the metabolites of Sangshen(Mori Fructus)with different maturities.A total of176 compounds in 11 categories were screened.Flavonoids and organic acids accounted for 23.30% and 21.02%,respectively.The contents of most screened flavonoids and organic acid differential metabolites increased with the increase of maturity,and the flavonoids and organic acid metabolites of Sangshen(Mori Fructus)of different germplasms were different.The contents of extract,total flavonoids,total polyphenols and rutin in the mature stage were higher than those in the immature stage.The antioxidant activity in the mature stage was stronger than that in the immature stage.The content of chlorogenic acid in the immature stage was higher than that in the mature stage,and the inhibitory effectonα-glucosidase was also stronger than that in the mature stage.
There are obvious differences in the metabolites of Sangshen(Mori Fructus)with different maturities.The contents of chemical components in Sangshen(Mori Fructus)are related to different maturities.Based on the antioxidant effect,it is better to harvest when Sangshen(Mori Fructus)is dark purple(mature).Based on the hypoglycemic effect,it is better to harvest when the Sangshen(Mori Fructus)becomes red(immature),which provides a basis for the quality control of Sangshen(Mori Fructus)and the determination of harvesting time.
To study the effects of Yifei JianpiRecipe(益肺健脾方)on aquaporin 3(AQP3),aquaporin 5(AQP5)and mucin 5AC(MUC5AC)in bronchial and lung tissues of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD)model ratswith lung and spleen deficiency syndrome.
Sprague-dawley rats were randomly segmented into blank group,model group,ambroxol group,dexamethasone group and Yifei Jianpi Recipe high,medium and low dose groups.The COPD ratmodel of lung and spleen deficiency was created by fumigation combined with lipopolysaccharide tracheal drip and Senna gavage and the pathologic morphology of bronchopulmonary tissues in rats was observed by hematoxylin-eosin(HE)staining and Alcian Blue-Periodic Acid Schiff(AB-PAS)staining,and the m RNA expressions of AQP3,AQP5 and MUC5AC in ratbronchopulmonary tissueswere detected by RT-qPCR,and protein expressions of AQP3,AQP5 and MUC5ACwere detected by Western Blot and immunohisto chemistry(IHC)methods,the mRNA expressions of AQP3,AQP5 and MUC5AC in rat bronchopulmonary tissues were detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction(RT-qPCR),and the protein expressions of AQP3,AQP5 and MUC5AC in rat bronchopulmonary tissues were detected by Western Blotand IHC methods.
Compared with those in the sham group,the bronchopulmonary tissues of rats in themodel group showed different degrees of damage,and HE staining demonstrated that there were tangible inflammatory cell infiltration in the airways of rats,and AB-PASstaining reviewed thata good deal of cupshaped cell hyperplasia could be seen in the bronchial tubes of rats.ThemRNA and protein expressions of AQP3 and AQP5 were significantly decreased and MUC5AC mRNA and protein expressions were clearly increased in the model group(P<0.01).Compared with those in the modelgroup,the inflammatory pathology damage of the bronchopulmonary tissues and the proliferation of cup cells in the rats of each dose group showed different degrees of improvement,and the m RNA and protein expressions of AQP3 and AQP5 were increased to different degrees.Among them,the Yifei Jianpi Recipe high dose group,the aminoglossum group and the dexamethasone group showed significant and comparable levels of increase(P<0.05);the MUC5AC mRNA and protein expressions were reduced to different degrees,among which the ambroxol group,the dexamethasone group and the Yifei Jianpi Recipe high dose group showed significant and comparable reductions(P<0.01).
Yifei Jianpi Recipe can inhibit airway mucus hypersecretion and reduce airway inflammation in COPD model rats with lung and spleen deficiency syndrome,and its mechanism is related to up-regulation of AQP3 and AQP5 and down-regulation of MUC5AC transcription and expression.
To investigate the correlation between different types of refractory peptic ulcer(RPU)and clinical manifestations,and to provide clinical basis for the prevention and treatment of this disease in modern medicine.
A crosssectional study was conducted to retrospectively collect the general data,clinical medical records,tongue and pulse conditions,TCM syndromes and other related factors of130 patients with RPU who were hospitalized in the Department of Gastroenterology of Zhengzhou People's Hospital from January 1,2020 to September30,2023.The collected data was statistically analyzed to explore the relationship between different types of RPU and clinical manifestations.
(1)There was no significant difference between the types of RPU and the distribution of tongue and pulse.(2)In terms of disease location syndrome elements,the mostusual disease location syndrome elements of RPU were heart and stomach(100.00%),the others were spleen(43.08%)and liver(30.00%);in terms of disease nature syndrome elements,the most usual disease nature syndrome elements were spleen and stomach weakness(cold)syndrome(28.46%),followed by liver-stomach disharmony syndrome(21.54%),blood stasis in stomach collateral syndrome(16.15%),damp-heat in spleen and stomach syndrome(14.62%),stomach Yin deficiency syndrome(10.77%),liver-stomach heat stagnation syndrome(8.46%).(3)There was no significant difference in hypertension,coronary heart disease and weight among the three groups(P>0.05).There were significant differences in gender,Helicobacter pylori(Hp)infection,smoking history,diabetes,age,height and oral non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs(NSAIDs)(P<0.05).Oralad ministration of NSAIDs is a risk factor for refractory compound ulcer and refractory duodenalulcer.Coronary heart disease,height and Hp infection are risk factors for refractory gastric ulcer.
The patients with Hp infection have a higher probability of refractory gastric ulcer.The patients with smoking history,diabetes and NSAIDs are more likely to develop refractory duodenal ulcer.Patients with different ages and heights are prone to RPU types.Oral administration of NSAIDs is a risk factor for refractory compound ulcer and refractory duodenal ulcer.Coronary heart disease,height and Hp infection are risk factors for RPU.
