| 1 | Therapeutic effect of Qingyi decoction in severe acute pancreatitis-induced intestinal barrier injury显示文摘AIM: To investigate the effect of Qingyi decoction onthe expression of secreted phospholipase A2(s PLA2) in intestinal barrier injury.METHODS: Fifty healthy Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into control, severe acute pancreatitis(SAP), Qingyi decoction-treated(QYT), dexamethasonetreated(DEX), and verapamil-treated(VER) groups. The SAP model was induced by retrograde infusion of 1.5% sodium deoxycholate into the biliopancreatic duct of the rats. All rats were sacrificed 24 h post-SAP induction. Arterial blood, intestine, and pancreas from each rat were harvested for investigations. The levels of serum amylase(AMY) and diamine oxidase(DAO) were determined using biochemical methods, and serum tumor necrosis factor(TNF)-α level was measured by an enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. Pathologic changes in the harvested tissues were investigated by microscopic examination of hematoxylin and eosinstained tissue sections. The expressions of s PLA2 at m RNA and protein levels were detected by reverse transcriptase PCR and Western blot, respectively. A terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated d UTP nick-end labeling assay was used to investigate apoptosis of epithelial cells in the intestinal tissues. RESULTS: Compared to the control group, the expression of s PLA2 at both the m RNA and protein levels increased significantly in the SAP group(0.36 ± 0.13 vs 0.90 ± 0.38, and 0.16 ± 0.05 vs 0.64 ± 0.05, respectively; P s < 0.01). The levels of AMY, TNF-α and DAO in serum were also significantly increased(917 ± 62 U/L vs 6870 ± 810 U/L, 59.7 ± 14.3 ng/L vs 180.5 ± 20.1 ng/L, and 10.37 ± 2.44 U/L vs 37.89 ± 5.86 U/L, respectively; P s < 0.01). The apoptosis index of intestinal epithelial cells also differed significantly between the SAP and control rats(0.05 ± 0.02 vs 0.26 ± 0.06; P < 0.01). The serum levels of DAO and TNF-α, and the intestinal apoptosis index significantly correlated with s PLA2 expression in the intestine(r = 0.895, 0.893 and 0.926, respectively; Ps < 0.05). Thelevels of s PLA2, AMY, TNF-α, and DAO in the QYT, VER, and DEX groups were all decreased compared with the SAP group, but not the control group. Qingyi decoction intervention, however, gave the most therapeutic effect against intestinal barrier damage, although the onset of its therapeutic effect was slower. CONCLUSION: Qingyi decoction ameliorates acute pancreatitis-induced intestinal barrier injury by inhibiting the overexpression of intestinal s PLA2. This mechanism may be similar to that of verapamil. | Jing-Wen Zhang Gui-Xin Zhang Hai-Long Chen Ge-Liang Liu Lawrence Owusu Yu-Xi Wang Guan-Yu Wang Cai-Ming Xu | 2015 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2015，21，12： | 35 |
| 2 | Gut microbial diversity analysis using Illumina sequencing for functional dyspepsia with liver depression-spleen deficiency syndrome and the interventional Xiaoyaosan in a rat model显示文摘AIM To investigate gut microbial diversity and the interventional effect of Xiaoyaosan(XYS) in a rat model of functional dyspepsia(FD) with liver depression-spleen deficiency syndrome. METHODS The FD with liver depression-spleen deficiency syndrome rat model was established through classic chronic mild unpredictable stimulation every day. XYS group rats received XYS 1 h before the stimulation. The models were assessed by parameters including state ofthe rat, weight, sucrose test result and open-field test result. After 3 wk, the stools of rats were collected and genomic DNA was extracted. PCR products of the V4 region of 16 S rD NA were sequenced using a barcoded Illumina paired-end sequencing technique. The primary composition of the microbiome in the stool samples was determined and analyzed by cluster analysis.RESULTS Rat models were successfully established, per data from rat state, weight and open-field test. The microbiomes contained 20 phyla from all samples. Firmicutes, Bacteroidetes, Proteobacteria, Cyanobacteria and Tenericutes were the most abundant taxonomic groups. The relative abundance of Firmicutes, Proteobacteria and Cyanobacteria in the model group was higher than that in the normal group. On the contrary, the relative abundance of Bacteroidetes in the model group was lower than that in the normal group. Upon XYS treatment, the relative abundance of all dysregulated phyla was restored to levels similar to those observed in the normal group. Abundance clustering heat map of phyla corroborated the taxonomic distribution. CONCLUSION The microbiome relative abundance of FD rats with liver depression-spleen deficiency syndrome was significantly different from the normal cohort. XYS intervention may effectively adjust the gut dysbacteriosis in FD. | Juan-Juan Qiu Zhe Liu Peng Zhao Xue-Jun Wang Yu-Chun Li Hua Sui Lawrence Owusu Hui-Shu Guo Zheng-Xu Cai | 2017 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2017，23，5： | 23 |
| 3 | CNP signal pathway up-regulated in rectum of depressed rats and the interventional effect of Xiaoyaosan显示文摘AIM:To investigate the distribution and expressionof C-type natriuretic peptide(CNP)/natriuretic peptide receptor B(NPR-B) in the rectum of a rodent depression model and the interventional effect of Xiaoyaosan(XYS).METHODS:Male rats(n = 45) of clean grade(200 ± 20 g) were divided into five groups after one week of adaptive feeding:primary control,depression model,low dose XYS,middle dose XYS,and high dose XYS.The animal experiment continued for 3 wk.Primary controls were fed normally ad libitum.The rats of all other groups were raised in solitary and exposed to classic chronic mild unpredictable stimulation each day.XYS groups were perfused intragastrically with low dose,middle dose,and high dose XYS one hour before stimulation.Primary control and depression model groups were perfused intragastrically with normal saline under similar conditions as the XYS groups.Three weeks later,all rats were sacrificed,and the expression levels of CNP and NPR-B in rectum tissues were analyzed by immunohistochemistry,real-time polymerase chain reaction,and Western blotting.RESULTS:CNP and NPR-B were both expressed in the rectum tissues of all rats.However,the expression levels of CNP and NPR-B at both gene and protein levels in the depression model group were significantly higher when compared to the primary control group(n = 9; P < 0.01).XYS intervention markedly inhibited the expression levels of CNP and NPR-B in depressed rats.The expression levels of CNP and NPR-B in the high dose XYS group did not significantly differ from the expression levels in the primary control group.Additionally,the high and middle dose XYS groups(but not the low dose group) significantly exhibited lower CNP and NPR-B expression levels in the rectum tissues of the respectively treated rats compared to the untreated depression model cohort(n = 9; P < 0.01).CONCLUSION:The CNP/NPR-B pathway is upregulated in the rectum of depressed rats and may be one mechanism for depression-associated digestive disorders.XYS antagonizes this pathway at least partially. | Ping Li Xu-Dong Tang Zheng-Xu Cai Juan-Juan Qiu Xue-Lian Lin Tong Zhu Lawrence Owusu Hui-Shu Guo | 2015 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2015，21，5： | 8 |
