    Journal of Capital Medical University    2007, 28 (2): 220-224.  
    Abstract (1158)      PDF(pc) (466KB)(5753)       Save

    The manifestations of hepatotoxicity caused by Chinese medicinal herbs are similar with ordinary liver disease. Many pathological alterations of hepatotoxicity can be seen, such as hepatocellular damage, liver disfunction, increased serum transaminase, hepatomegalia, jaundice, cholestasis, chronic hepatitis complicated with fibrosis, hepatic cirrhosis、fulminating hepatic failure, liver tumor, and etc. In most cases, the liver damage is reversible after discontinuation. The commonly-seen herbs which may cause hepatotoxicity are Huang Yao Zi(Tuber Dioscoreae Bulbiferae)、Cang Er Zi(Fructus Xanthii Sibirici)、Lei Gong Teng(Radix Tripterygum)、Ku Lian Zi(Fructus Meliae Azedarach), etc., and the compound preparations are Zhuang Gu Guan JIe Wan(The Pill for Asthritis), Ke Yin Wan(The Pill for Psoriasis), Xiao Chai Hu Tang (Xiao Bupleuri Decoction), and so on. In addition, the improper combination of Western medication and Chinese medicinal herbs may also bring about hepatotoxicity. Except the toxicity of herbs themselves, the other factors include the dosage, time, the body constitution of patients, sensitivity, seasons, and geographic regions, etc. Therefore, the medicinal herbs and their preparations should be used rationally under the guidance of the theory of traditional Chinese medicine and differentiation of symptoms, and the medical skill should be improved, which are the effective measures for avoiding hepatotoxicity.

    Lipodystrophic syndromes
    ZHAO Xiangfu, ZHUANG Xiaoming
    Journal of Capital Medical University    2013, 34 (2): 315-323.   DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1006-7795.2013.02.029
    Abstract (3446)      PDF(pc) (3258KB)(5097)       Save

    The lipodystrophic syndromes are a heterogeneous group of congenital or acquired disorders characterized by either complete or partial lack of adipose tissue,which may occur in conjunction with pathological accumulation of fat in other distinct regions of the body. Patients with lipodystrophy suffer from numerous metabolic complications, such as severe insulin resistance, impaired glucose tolerance, diabetes mellitus, severe hyperlipidemia, progressive liver disease, and increased metabolic rate, serum leptin concentration can be low, indicating the importance of adipose tissue as an active endocrine organ. Not only does the total amount but also the appropriate distribution of fat deposits contribute to the metabolic state. Recent genetic and molecular research has improved our understanding of the mechanisms underlying lipodystrophy. Circulating levels of hormones secreted by adipose tissue, such as leptin and adiponectin, are greatly reduced in distinct subsets of patients with lipodystrophy, rationalizing the use of such hormones or agents that increase their circulating levels, such as peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma(PPARγ) agonists, in a subset of patients with lipodystrophy. Other novel therapeutic approaches, including the use of growth hormone(GH) and GH-releasing factors, are also being studied as potential additions to the therapeutic armamentarium. Insights from recent research efforts and clinical trials could potentially revolutionize the treatment of this difficult-to-treat condition.

    Journal of Capital Medical University    2009, 30 (3): 293-297.   DOI: 10.3785/j.issn.1006-7795.2009.03.008
    Abstract (1410)      PDF(pc) (1061KB)(3916)       Save
    Objective To study the value of 3 different imaging methods in the early diagnosis of breast cancer and differential diagnosis of benign versus malignant nature of breast tumors. Methods Three hundred and ten patients with breast disease seen from 2004 to 2008 were randomly selected in this study. Diagnosis of all the patients were confirmed by means of surgery and pathological examinations, and all the patients were examined by high frequency ultrasound and mammography before operation. Using the results of pathologic examination as the gold standard, the authors compared the result of high frequency ultrasound with that of mammography, and compared the result of any one method with the combined results of the other two. The authors also reviewed the results of 20 patients with breast carcinoma in whom magnetic resonance imaging was additionally applied to see its value in the diagnosis on breast carcinoma. Results The rate of consistency of the ultrasound on diagnosing breast carcinoma was 85 percent, while that of breast benign disease was 89.5 percent. The rate of consistency of the mammography on diagnosing breast carcinoma was 86 percent, while that of breast benign disease was 83.8 percent. The ultrasound could identify 85 of the 100 cases with breast carcinoma. While the mammography could make diagnosis for 86 of 100 patients with breast carcinoma. The combination of the both could make diagnosis for 95 of the 100 patients with breast carcinoma. In the 20 patients with breast carcinoma who were examined by magnetic resonance imaging, the accordance rate for diagnosis with the combination of the three was 100 percent. Though no significant difference in the diagnostic accuracy was found between the ultrasound and the mammography, the combination of the both could greatly elevate the diagnosis accuracy. Conclusion 1 The combination of mammography and high frequency ultrasound can be the first choice of methods to diagnose breast carcinoma in the early stage; 2 MRI can be a good supplement to mammography and high frequency ultrasound; 3 Mammography has great importance in diagnosing breast precancerosis-breast atypical hyperplasia, it is a much better method to diagnose breast atypical hyperplasia.

    Psoriasis is one of the most common and gene-related human skin diseases. Traditional Chinese medical therapy has curative effect with fewer side effects, so the investigation of the rules of TCM differentiation and pharmacological treatment in psoriasis would provide us a new approach to improve its clinical practice. By document analysis, we proposed a hypothesis that the pathogenesis of psoriasis-'toxin accumulation in blood' means the disease happened in blood and its characteristic was 'toxin coming from excessive heat’. In addition, we elucidated the meaning of 'toxin accumulation in blood’ in the view of modern medicine, which might develop the TCM theory of 'treating psoriasis by modulating blood’.

    Objective To investigate the correlation between three scores of neurological deficits and infarct volume of middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) model in rats. Methods A total of 20 Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into five groups. MCAO models were induced. At five different time points (24 h, 3 d, 7 d, 14 d and 30 d after reperfusion), three grading methods (Longa test, Forelimb Placing test and Ludmila Belayev test) were used to evaluate neurological functions of rats. Then, the volume of infarction was calculated after taking the brain for HE staining. The correlations between neurological function scores and brain infarction volumes were analyzed by ANOVA and correlation.Results From 24 hours to 30 days after reperfusion, the scores of neurological deficits and the volume of infarction were decreased. There were significant differences in the scores of forelimb placing test and Ludmila Belayev test between 7 and 30 days after reperfusing (P<0.05). But the differences of infarction volume at different time points were insignificant (P>0.05). In terms of the correlation between the Ludmila Belayev score and infarction volume, there exists the obvious statistical significance at 3 (P<0.01) and 30 days (P<0.05). Conclusion For the MCAO model of rats, the Ludmila Belayev test can be used to evaluate the extent of injury after cerebral infarction at 3 and 30 days after reperfusion.

    Objective To compare different methods for extracting mitochondria and its effects on mitochondria content and their activity. Methods Pulilai kit, sucrose gradient centrifugation and Pierce mitochondria extraction kit were used to extract mitochondria and quantify their concentration, activity and contamination. Results Pulilai kit yielded higher concentration of mitochondria proteins than two other methods(P<0.05) when the same amount of cells were used. Western blotting was used to evaluate the amount of cytosolic protein contaminant and mitochondria protein cytochrome c from mitochondria fraction. The result suggests that using Pulilai kit can yield lower concentration cytosolic protein contaminant and higher concentration of cytochrome c from mitochondria fraction than the other two methods. At the same time, ATP content of mitochondria extracted by the method of Pulilai kit was the greatest. Conclusion Pulilai kit is better than sucrose gradient centrifugation and Pierce mitochondria extraction kit for mitochondria extraction.

    Abstract (903)      PDF(pc) (477KB)(3447)       Save

    WHO promotes evidence-based traditional medicine. Methodological issues limit evaluation of therapeutic effect of TCM. Current methods for evaluation do not properly reflect the humanity characteristics and holistic approach and differentiation of syndrome and prescription. TCM therapeutics is a complex intervention, and there is a limitation of methodology by only randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials as it doesn't comply with bio-psycho-social-environmental and spiritual model for modern medicine. To fairly evaluate TCM therapeutic, we need to combine both quantitative and qualitative methods together, so as to create modality and methodology for TCM differentiation of syndrome and treatment.

    B-cell lymphomas account for 70%-80% of non-Hodgkin lymphomas(NHL) and exhibit significant heterogeneity in genetic profiles, phenotypic characteristics, and clinical manifestations, posing substantial challenges for clinical management. The B-cell receptor (BCR) is a transmembrane receptor on the surface of B cells that plays a central regulatory role in B-cell development, activation, and adaptive immune responses. As a core mechanism driving malignant transformation in various B-cell malignancies, aberrant activation of the BCR signaling pathway, plays a pivotal role in B lymphoma pathogenesis. Dysregulated BCR signaling not only promotes tumor cell proliferation, survival, and anti-apoptotic capacity but also accelerates malignant progression. Consequently, researchers are vigorously exploring therapeutic strategies targeting BCR and its downstream pathways, including inhibitors of Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) and PI3K, as well as direct BCR-targeted approaches. The central role of BCR signaling in lymphoma pathogenesis and treatment underscores its potential as a critical focus for future therapeutic development, offering new directions and hope for improved clinical outcomes.

    Objective To study the success rate and reliability of middle cerebral artery occlusion(MCAO) model by objective and reliable neurological score, infarct volume, and edema rate. Methods Cerebral ischemia model of MCAO was established in mouse using the suture method. Infarct volume, edema rate and behavioral performance was evaluated by 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride(TTC) staining and neurological score. Results MCAO could induce obvious focal cerebral ischemia by TTC staining and the success rate of this model was about 90.8%. Besides, MCAO could induce three types of cerebral ischemia: cortical, hippocampal and thalamic ischemia. And the predominant type is cortical ischemia. MCAO-induced cerebral ischemia could significantly increase the neurological score compared with the sham group. The procedure for infarct volume evaluation of the MCAO model was accurate and stable; infarct volume was about 35% of entire brain volume. Conclusion Cerebral ischemia model of MCAO was established in mice successfully(90.8%). The evaluation of neurological deficit and infarct volume was technically reliable.

    Journal of Capital Medical University    2022, 43 (5): 720-727.   DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1006-7795.2022.05.009
    Abstract (733)      PDF(pc) (1051KB)(2814)       Save
    Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a clinical syndrome caused by various factors and characterized by renal function declines sharply in a short period of time. AKI, an independent risk factor of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage renal disease, is associated with high levels of morbidity and mortality. Currently, the treatments for AKI and the prevention of the transition of AKI to CKD are very limited. Therefore, it is essential to explore the mechanism of AKI to CKD. Renal tubular epithelial cells (RTECs) are the major cells of the kidney and are vulnerable to various biological stresses, such as ischemia, hypoxia and toxins.RTECs are also key inflammatory and fibrogenic cells that drive the progression from acute to chronic kidney disease. In view of the central role of RTECs, this review will focus on the maladaptive repair mechanisms of RTECs in the transition of AKI to CKD, providing novel targets and new strategies for effective treatment.
