Objectives

This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and characteristics of spinning-induced rhabdomyolysis in Chinese patients.

Methods

Patients with exercise-induced rhabdomyolysis at a single center from Jun 1, 2010, to Nov 30, 2019, were retrospectively analyzed.

Results

Among the 66 patients (26.0 ± 7.7 years old), 27 (40.9%) had spinning-induced rhabdomyolysis, 13 (19.7%) had other aerobic exercise-induced rhabdomyolysis, and 26 (39.4%) had anaerobic exercise-induced rhabdomyolysis. The number of cases and proportion of spinning-induced increased notably during the period of 2016–2019 (n = 25, 46.3% of exercise-induced rhabdomyolysis) compared to 2010–2015 (n = 2). Most patients in the spinning-induced group (88.5%) developed RM during their first spinning session, and 42.3% of them had warm-up exercises. There were significant differences in levels of serum creatine kinase, lactate dehydrogenase, and creatinine among the three groups (p = 0.002, p = 0.004, p = 0.009, respectively). Continuous renal replacement therapy was applied in 11.1% for spinning-induced patients, 7.7% for other aerobic patients, and 19.2% for anaerobic patients (p = 0.646). Sixty-five patients (99%) completed treatment, and all achieved full recovery without recurrence.

Conclusion

Spinning is an important cause of rhabdomyolysis in young people. A supervised warming-up period, a gradual increase in exercise intensity for novices may reduce the number of cases of rhabdomyolysis.

目的探讨中国患者旋转性横纹肌溶解的患病率及特点。方法对2010年6月1日至2019年11月30日收治的单中心运动性横纹肌溶解患者进行回顾性分析。结果66例患者(26.0±7.7岁)中,动感运动诱发横纹肌溶解27例(40.9%),其他有氧运动诱发横纹肌溶解13例(19.7%),无氧运动诱发横纹肌溶解26例(39.4%)。与2010-2015年(n = 2)相比,2016-2019年期间(n = 25)动感运动诱发横纹肌溶解的病例数和比例显著增加(n = 46.3%)。在动感单车诱导组中,大多数患者(88.5%)在第一次动感单车运动中发生了RM,其中42.3%的患者进行了热身运动。三组间血清肌酸激酶、乳酸脱氢酶、肌酐水平差异均有统计学意义(p = 0.002、p = 0.004、p = 0.009)。持续肾替代治疗在动感单车患者中占11.1%,在其他有氧患者中占7.7%,在无氧患者中占19.2% (p = 0.646)。65例(99%)患者完成治疗,全部完全康复,无复发。结论动感单车是青年人横纹肌溶解的重要原因。一个有监督的热身期,逐渐增加运动强度,新手可以减少横纹肌溶解的病例数。

The application of ultrasound technology in rehabilitation therapy has garnered increasing popularity among physical therapists, with a growing body of evidence supporting its use. As an emerging rehabilitation technique, ultrasound imaging presents numerous challenges, including the lack of standardized operating procedures, unclear operational parameters, and intervention responses, which necessitate further exploration. This study aims to provide an overview of the application of ultrasound technology in physical therapy–assisted rehabilitation. It covers various rehabilitation fields such as postpartum recovery, musculoskeletal pain rehabilitation, and speech and swallowing rehabilitation. The study introduces the concept of rehabilitative ultrasound imaging (RUSI) and its application in visualizing patient dysfunction and treatment responses. Additionally, it highlights the role of this technology as a biofeedback tool in physical therapy and discusses the limitations of RUSI to enhance physical therapists’ understanding of its application.

Background

Negative fluid balance during continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) is associated with improved clinical outcomes. The effects of negative fluid balance in patients with heterogeneous characteristics undergoing CRRT remain unknown.

Methods

This retrospective study included 2658 adult patients who received CRRT for ≥ 4 days between 2009 and 2020. Patients were divided according to disease category. Fluid balance was assessed using percent change in body weight (PCB) or cumulative input/output (I/O). Primary outcome was 90-day mortality.

Results

More positive PCB results in the fluid overload phase and fewer negative PCB results in the fluid removal phase were associated with mortality. A less negative PCB in the fluid removal phase was associated with mortality in medical patients (odds ratio [OR]: 1.052; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.023–1.082, and p = 0.001 in the medical patients and OR: 1.064; 95% CI: 1.011–1.120, and p = 0.017 in cardiovascular medical patients) but not in surgical patients. In patients with discrepancies between PCB and cumulative I/O, PCB was associated with mortality, which was consistent with the overall pattern; however, cumulative I/O was not associated with mortality.

Conclusions

Early negative fluid balance is associated with better survival in medical patients but not in surgical patients, who may require more careful fluid balance.

背景:持续肾替代治疗(CRRT)期间的体液平衡阴性与改善的临床结果相关。在接受CRRT的异质性患者中,负体液平衡的影响尚不清楚。方法回顾性研究纳入2658例2009 - 2020年间接受CRRT治疗≥4天的成年患者。根据疾病类型对患者进行分类。利用体重变化百分比(PCB)或累积输入/输出(I/O)来评估体液平衡。主要终点为90天死亡率。结果多氯联苯阳性结果出现在体液超载阶段,少氯联苯阴性结果出现在体液清除阶段与死亡率相关。排除液体阶段较少的PCB阴性与内科患者的死亡率相关(优势比[OR]: 1.052; 95%可信区间[CI]: 1.023-1.082,内科患者的p = 0.001; OR: 1.064; 95% CI: 1.011-1.120,心血管内科患者的p = 0.017),但与外科患者无关。在PCB与累积I/O之间存在差异的患者中,PCB与死亡率相关,这与总体模式一致;然而,累积I/O与死亡率无关。结论内科患者早期体液负平衡与更好的生存相关,而外科患者则不然,后者可能需要更仔细的体液平衡。

Spirometry remains the cornerstone for diagnosing obstructive and restrictive lung disorders, yet the reference equation used to define “normal” function can significantly shift diagnostic outcomes, particularly in underrepresented populations. While the global lung function initiative (GLI) provides several equation sets, the implications of switching among them have not been fully explored in Middle Eastern populations. Therefore, the present study aimed to evaluate how diagnostic classification of respiratory disease changes when applying different GLI equations. This retrospective analysis included spirometric measures of 9731 participants obtained at a specialized allergy and asthma center in Anbar, Iraq. The cohort comprised both patients and individuals examined for other purposes, with 4341 males and 5390 females, and a markedly sex-skewed smoking prevalence (28.4% in males vs. 1.6% in females). Predicted values, lower limits of normal (LLN), and z-scores were computed using the GLI Caucasian (GLI-C), GLI Other or Mixed (GLI-O), and the more recent race-neutral GLI equation (GLI-N). Diagnostic classifications for each equation were compared and stratified by sex and smoking status. GLI-C equations consistently yielded higher predicted values and more negative z-scores. The GLI-O identified more cases of obstruction, with the GLI-N producing the largest proportion of normal classifications. Reclassification was common, particularly from restrictive to normal categories. The agreement between equations ranged from 0.80 to 0.94. The choice of reference equations significantly affects spirometric interpretation among this Iraqi cohort. It is recommended that laboratories and clinics explicitly report, justify, and standardize the selected reference set and prioritize prospective evaluations comparing GLI-N, GLI-O, and local equations with clinical correlates such as symptoms and outcomes to reduce misclassification across Middle Eastern populations.

肺活量测定法仍然是诊断阻塞性和限制性肺疾病的基础,但用于定义“正常”功能的参考方程可能显著改变诊断结果,特别是在代表性不足的人群中。虽然全球肺功能倡议(GLI)提供了几个方程集,但在中东人群中,它们之间切换的含义尚未得到充分探讨。因此,本研究旨在评价不同GLI方程对呼吸系统疾病诊断分类的影响。这项回顾性分析包括在伊拉克安巴尔的一个专门的过敏和哮喘中心获得的9731名参与者的肺活量测定。该队列包括患者和为其他目的进行检查的个体,其中男性4341人,女性5390人,吸烟率明显性别倾斜(男性28.4%,女性1.6%)。预测值、正常下限(LLN)和z分数是使用GLI高加索(GLI- c)、GLI其他或混合(GLI- o)和最近的种族中立GLI方程(GLI- n)计算的。对每个方程的诊断分类进行比较,并按性别和吸烟状况分层。glic方程始终产生更高的预测值和更多的负z分数。glii - o鉴别出更多梗阻病例,而glii - n在正常分类中所占比例最大。重新分类很常见,特别是从限制性分类到正常分类。方程之间的一致性在0.80到0.94之间。参考方程的选择显著影响了这个伊拉克队列的肺活量测定解释。建议实验室和诊所明确报告、证明和标准化所选择的参考集,并优先考虑将glii - n、glii - o和局部方程与临床相关因素(如症状和结果)进行比较的前瞻性评估,以减少中东人群的错误分类。

Purpose

To evaluate nondrug treatments for hot flashes (HFs) in prostate cancer (PC) patients.

Methods

Eight databases (Cochrane Library, Embase, PubMed, Web of Science, ClinicalTrials.gov, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Data, and Chinese Biomedical Literature Service System) were searched from their inception to May 2025. R software was used to conduct the meta-analysis. Risk of bias and the overall quality of evidence were assessed using the Risk of Bias 2.0 tool and the Grade Profiler 3.6.

Results

A total of 5 studies were included, and 4 were eligible for meta-analysis. Compared to the control group, nonpharmacological therapies showed a small but significant improvement in the severity of HFs (d = −0.27; 95% CI: −0.81 to 0.26; p = 0.1; I2 = 57.4%) but was not statistically significant with HFs frequency (d = 0.2; 95% CI: −0.11 to 0.5; p = 0.34; I2 = 11.1%). Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) showed short-term reductions in HFs severity and psychological distress, but these benefits diminished over time. One trial reported significant HF frequency reductions with both electroacupuncture and traditional acupuncture, with benefits persisting up to 9 months, though no modality outperformed the other. Dietary interventions (soy protein) yielded inconsistent HFs relief but transient QoL improvements. High heterogeneity in intervention protocols, small sample sizes, and variable outcome measures limited comparability. Adverse events were minimal and mild.

Conclusion

Nonpharmacological therapies (e.g., CBT and acupuncture) may help alleviate ADT-related HFs in PC patients. However, the evidence is limited; future large-scale, high-quality research is required to verify effectiveness.

目的探讨前列腺癌(PC)患者潮热(HFs)的非药物治疗方法。方法检索自Cochrane Library、Embase、PubMed、Web of Science、ClinicalTrials.gov、中国国家知识基础设施、万方数据、中国生物医学文献服务系统等8个数据库。采用R软件进行meta分析。使用Risk of bias 2.0工具和Grade Profiler 3.6评估偏倚风险和总体证据质量。结果共纳入5项研究,其中4项符合meta分析。与对照组相比,非药物治疗对hf的严重程度有轻微但显著的改善(d = - 0.27; 95% CI: - 0.81 ~ 0.26; p = 0.1; I2 = 57.4%),但对hf发生频率无统计学意义(d = 0.2; 95% CI: - 0.11 ~ 0.5; p = 0.34; I2 = 11.1%)。认知行为疗法(CBT)在短期内降低了HFs的严重程度和心理困扰,但随着时间的推移,这些益处逐渐减少。一项试验报告了电针和传统针灸均能显著降低高频频率,其益处持续长达9个月,尽管没有一种方式优于另一种。饮食干预(大豆蛋白)产生了不一致的HFs缓解,但短暂的生活质量改善。干预方案的高异质性、小样本量和可变结果测量限制了可比性。不良事件极少且轻微。结论非药物治疗(如CBT和针灸)可能有助于缓解PC患者adt相关性HFs。然而,证据是有限的;未来需要大规模、高质量的研究来验证其有效性。

Background

Influenza-like syndromes (ILS), characterized by fever, cough, myalgia, and fatigue, present significant challenges in clinical management. Paracetamol (acetaminophen), known for its antipyretic and analgesic properties, is widely used to alleviate these symptoms. This article reports the results of an expert consensus on the efficacy, safety, and appropriate use of paracetamol in managing ILS, particularly in vulnerable populations.

Methods

A Delphi methodology was employed to gather expert opinions from 72 healthcare professionals, including general practitioners (GPs) and infectious disease specialists. The panelists rated 27 statements on a 5-point Likert scale, with a consensus threshold set at 66%. Statements covered the efficacy, safety, drug interactions, and patient communication related to paracetamol use in ILS. Results were presented in aggregate form, with specific attention to areas of consensus and divergence.

Results

The panel reached consensus on 26 out of 27 statements. Paracetamol was unanimously recognized as the preferred treatment for ILS due to its effective symptom control and minimal risk of drug interactions. It was deemed safer for fragile populations, including the elderly and those with multiple comorbidities. Concerns regarding hepatotoxicity were noted mainly in cases of overdose; however, rare cases have been reported even at therapeutic doses in patients with pre-existing liver disease, where alternative antipyretics may sometimes be considered. Divergence occurred in opinions on the potential immunosuppressive effects of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and the associated risk of bacterial superinfections.

Conclusions

Paracetamol is a safer and more suitable option for managing ILS. This work highlights the need for further research on its frequent use in specific populations and emphasizes the importance of patient education on appropriate dosing to improve medication safety and compliance.

背景:以发热、咳嗽、肌痛和疲劳为特征的流感样综合征(ILS)在临床管理中提出了重大挑战。扑热息痛(对乙酰氨基酚)以其解热镇痛特性而闻名,被广泛用于缓解这些症状。本文报告了专家对扑热息痛治疗ILS的有效性、安全性和适当使用的共识结果,特别是在脆弱人群中。方法采用德尔菲法,对72名全科医生和传染病专科医生进行问卷调查。小组成员按照李克特5分制对27项陈述进行了评分,共识阈值设定为66%。声明涵盖了与ILS患者使用扑热息痛相关的疗效、安全性、药物相互作用和患者沟通。结果以汇总形式提出,特别注意共识和分歧的领域。结果27项意见中,26项意见达成一致。扑热息痛因其有效的症状控制和最小的药物相互作用风险而被一致认为是ILS的首选治疗方法。它被认为对脆弱人群更安全,包括老年人和患有多种合并症的人。对肝毒性的关注主要是在过量用药的情况下;然而,罕见的病例报道,即使在治疗剂量的患者已有肝病,有时可能会考虑替代退烧药。关于非甾体类抗炎药的潜在免疫抑制作用和细菌重复感染的相关风险,出现了意见分歧。结论扑热息痛是治疗ILS更安全、更合适的选择。这项工作强调需要进一步研究其在特定人群中的频繁使用情况,并强调对患者进行适当剂量教育以提高用药安全性和依从性的重要性。

Objective

Our objective was to analyze the impact of previous infection with atypical pneumonia pathogens on mortality in COVID-19 patients.

Materials and Methods

We retrospectively studied complete blood count, procalcitonin, C-reactive protein, D-dimer, ferritin, biochemistry, antibody levels of atypical pneumonia pathogens, and COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test results in combined (pharyngeal + nasopharyngeal) swab specimens from the airways of patients admitted to the pandemic wards and intensive care units of Adıyaman Training and Research Hospital between 04/01/2020 and 12/31/2021. Patients with positive COVID-19 PCR test results were included in the study.

Results

The mean age of the 323 patients was 60.9 ± 18.5 years, and 58.8% were male. When comparing patients with positive and negative antibodies to atypical pneumonia pathogens, we found no differences in mean age, sex, place of hospitalization, length of hospital stay, need for intensive care, and mortality. However, CRP, D-dimer, and ferritin were significantly higher in the group of patients with antibody positivity for atypical pneumonia pathogens (p values 0.008, 0.004, and 0.004). According to the results of multivariate regression analysis in COVID-19 patients with positive antibodies with respect to atypical pneumonia pathogens, a glucose level higher than 148.5, an AST level higher than 26.5, and a lymphocyte count lower than 0.54 were found to be the most important risk factors for mortality in these patients (OR = 2.2, 95% CI 1.1–4.3, and p = 0.048, OR = 3.0, 95% CI 1.2–7.2, and p = 0.015, and OR = 4.1, 95% CI 1.9–8.9, and p < 0.001, respectively). According to the results of multivariate regression analysis, no risk factors for mortality were identified in patients with COVID-19 without positive antibodies against atypical pneumonia pathogens.

Conclusion

We found no association between positivity of antibodies of atypical pneumonia pathogens and mortality in COVID-19 patients. However, elevated glucose and AST levels and low lymphocyte count were found to be important risk factors for mortality in COVID-19 patients with positive antibodies against atypical pneumonia pathogens.

目的分析既往非典型肺炎病原菌感染对COVID-19患者死亡率的影响。材料与方法回顾性研究了全血细胞计数、降钙素原、c反应蛋白、d -二聚体、铁蛋白、生化、非典型肺炎病原体抗体水平、对2020年4月1日至2021年12月31日在Adıyaman培训研究医院大流行病房和重症监护病房就诊的患者呼吸道联合(咽+鼻咽)拭子标本进行COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2)逆转录聚合酶链反应(PCR)检测。将COVID-19 PCR检测结果阳性的患者纳入研究。结果323例患者平均年龄60.9±18.5岁,男性占58.8%。当比较非典型肺炎病原体抗体阳性和阴性的患者时,我们发现在平均年龄、性别、住院地点、住院时间、需要重症监护和死亡率方面没有差异。然而,CRP、d -二聚体和铁蛋白在非典型肺炎病原体抗体阳性的患者组中显著升高(p值分别为0.008、0.004和0.004)。根据多元回归分析的结果在COVID-19患者积极的抗体对非典型肺炎的病原体,血糖水平高于148.5,AST水平高于26.5,淋巴细胞计数低于0.54被发现是最重要的这些患者的死亡率的危险因素(OR = 2.2, 95% CI 1.1 - -4.3, p = 0.048, = 3.0, 95% CI 1.2 - -7.2, p = 0.015,或= 4.1,95% CI 1.9 - -8.9, p & lt; 0.001,分别)。多因素回归分析结果显示,非典型肺炎病原体抗体阳性的COVID-19患者未发现死亡危险因素。结论非典型肺炎病原体抗体阳性与COVID-19患者死亡率无相关性。然而,血糖和AST水平升高以及淋巴细胞计数低被发现是COVID-19非典型肺炎病原体抗体阳性患者死亡的重要危险因素。

Flap transplantation is widely used in reconstructive surgery; however, ischemic injury remains a critical barrier to flap survival, primarily due to oxidative stress, ferroptosis, and impaired angiogenesis. In this study, we employed a random-pattern skin flap model in Sprague–Dawley rats to evaluate the protective effects of curcumin (Cur). Cur administration significantly enhanced antioxidant capacity by increasing superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) expression while decreasing malondialdehyde (MDA) and lipid peroxidation (LPO) levels. Ferroptosis analysis revealed that Cur upregulated SLC7A11, GPX4, and FTH1 while downregulating ACSL4, indicating ferroptosis inhibition. Mechanistically, Cur activated the FoXO1/NCOA4 signaling pathway, suppressing NCOA4-mediated ferritinophagy and limiting iron-driven oxidative damage. Moreover, Cur promoted angiogenesis by upregulating VEGF, MMP9, and CDH5 and enhanced human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) proliferation while reducing intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS). Collectively, these findings demonstrate that Cur mitigates ischemic injury through antioxidative, antiferroptotic, and proangiogenic effects, supporting its therapeutic potential for improving flap survival in reconstructive surgery.

皮瓣移植在重建外科中应用广泛;然而,缺血性损伤仍然是皮瓣存活的关键障碍,主要是由于氧化应激、铁下垂和血管生成受损。本研究采用Sprague-Dawley大鼠随机皮瓣模型来评价姜黄素(Cur)的保护作用。通过增加超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)活性和血红素加氧酶-1 (HO-1)表达,降低丙二醛(MDA)和脂质过氧化(LPO)水平,显著提高了抗氧化能力。铁下垂分析显示,Cur上调SLC7A11、GPX4和FTH1,下调ACSL4,表明铁下垂有抑制作用。在机制上,Cur激活了FoXO1/NCOA4信号通路,抑制了NCOA4介导的铁蛋白自噬,限制了铁驱动的氧化损伤。此外,Cur通过上调VEGF、MMP9和CDH5促进血管生成,增强人脐静脉内皮细胞(HUVEC)的增殖,同时减少细胞内活性氧(ROS)。总的来说,这些发现表明,Cur通过抗氧化、抗铁沉降和促血管生成的作用减轻了缺血性损伤,支持其在重建手术中提高皮瓣存活率的治疗潜力。

Background

The primary headache disorder, cluster headache (CH), is known as one of the most painful conditions a human can experience. This study aimed to explore the psychological experience of living with CH, both during acute headache attacks and between attacks.

Methods

Semistructured interviews were conducted with 13 adults with episodic or chronic CH. Interviews were carried out via Microsoft Teams or the telephone. Qualitative interview data were analysed using Reflective Thematic Analysis (RTA) through a critical realist lens. Participants also completed the Pain Self-Efficacy Questionnaire and Pain Catastrophising Scale.

Results

RTA resulted in five themes emerging related to the psychological experience of CH: “Darkness,” “Battling,” “Shifting,” “Control,” and “Despair.” Psychological experiences during the acute attack appeared distinct from experiences of the condition between attacks. The psychological experience was impacted by how long participants had lived with the condition and by whether they had the episodic or chronic form. Individuals living with the chronic form of CH reported increased despair and depression, due to lack of respite from the pain. In contrast, individuals living with episodic CH were less despairing due to pain-free periods but talked to increased uncertainty, with it being unclear when the painful bout would disrupt their life.

Conclusion

Living with CH is a complex and challenging psychological experience. Further research to identify how psychological processes may maintain distress and exacerbate pain could help establish a psychological model of CH. Such a model could, in turn, enable exploration of psychological techniques to support individuals during and between CH attacks. Authors also call for research to explore how to increase visibility of CH.

原发性头痛疾病丛集性头痛(CH)被认为是人类可能经历的最痛苦的疾病之一。本研究旨在探讨慢性头痛患者在急性头痛发作期间和发作之间的心理体验。方法 半结构式访谈进行了13个成年人情景或慢性CH。面试通过微软团队或电话进行。通过批判性现实主义视角,运用反思性主题分析(RTA)对定性访谈数据进行分析。参与者还完成了疼痛自我效能感问卷和疼痛灾变量表。RTA产生了与CH的心理体验相关的五个主题:“黑暗”、“战斗”、“转移”、“控制”和“绝望”。急性发作期间的心理体验与发作间状态的体验明显不同。参与者的心理体验受其患病时间长短以及他们是发作型还是慢性型的影响。个人生活在慢性的CH报道形式增加绝望和抑郁,由于缺乏从痛苦喘息的机会。相比之下,患有发作性CH的人由于无疼痛期而不那么绝望,但他们的不确定性增加了,不清楚痛苦的发作何时会扰乱他们的生活。结论与CH一起生活是一种复杂而富有挑战性的心理体验。进一步研究心理过程是如何维持痛苦和加剧疼痛的,可以帮助建立CH的心理模型。这样的模型反过来可以探索心理技术,在CH发作期间和发作之间为个体提供支持。作者还呼吁研究如何提高CH的知名度。

<div> <section> <h3> Objective</h3> <p>Postinfection cough (PIC) is a lingering cough that occurs after the resolution of a primary respiratory infection, affecting the quality of life and potentially leading to complications, thus necessitating effective treatment. Qingfei Zhisou syrup, which has heat-clearing, cough-relieving, and phlegm-resolving properties, has demonstrated a mitigating effect on PIC. However, the exact mechanisms are largely unknown. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of Qingfei Zhisou syrup on the molecular mechanism of PIC.</p> </section> <section> <h3> Methods</h3> <p>A total of 105 Sprague–Dawley (SD) male rats were used to establish a PIC model via nasal drops of lipopolysaccharide (LPS), smoke, and capsaicin, which were divided into the normal group, model group, western medicine positive drugs dextromethorphan hydrobromide syrup group (3.50 mL/kg), and traditional Chinese medicine positive drugs Jinzhen oral liquid group (5.41 mL/kg), and the high-, medium-, and low-dose children’s Qingfei Zhisou syrup groups (3.66, 1.83, and 0.92 g/kg).

目的感染后咳嗽(PIC)是原发性呼吸道感染消退后发生的持续咳嗽,影响患者的生活质量并可能导致并发症,因此需要有效的治疗。清肺止咳糖浆具有清热、止咳、化痰的作用,对PIC有缓解作用。然而,确切的机制在很大程度上是未知的。本研究旨在探讨清肺止嗽糖浆对PIC分子机制的影响。方法选用SD雄性大鼠105只,采用脂多糖(LPS)、烟熏、辣椒素滴鼻法建立PIC模型,分为正常组、模型组、西药阳性药物氢溴化右美沙芬糖浆组(3.50 mL/kg)、中药阳性药物金贞口服液组(5.41 mL/kg)和小儿清肺栀疮糖浆高、中、低剂量组(3.66 mL/kg)。1.83和0.92 g/kg)。以10 mL/kg剂量连续灌胃给药,连续10天。采用辣椒素雾化咳嗽法检测大鼠咳嗽敏感性,苏木精-伊红染色法观察肺组织形态学变化,酶联免疫吸附法检测肺组织匀浆中炎性因子肿瘤坏死因子-α (TNF-α)、白细胞介素-1β (IL-1β)、白细胞介素-6 (IL-6)水平。根据既往文献,以TRPV1为切入点,结合网络药理学和分子对接筛选的关键基因和通路蛋白,采用免疫组化(IHC)、western blot (WB)分析、定量聚合酶链反应等方法,评估瞬时受体电位Vanilloid 1 (TRPV1)、前列腺素E受体2 (PTGER2)、蛋白激酶A (PKA)的表达水平。结果网络分析预测清肺止疮糖浆可能通过关键靶基因IL-1β、IL-6、TNF-α及神经活性配体受体的作用,控制脂多糖与药物的反应,缓解PIC症状。动物实验表明,小儿清肺止嗽糖浆可降低大鼠咳嗽敏感性,减轻肺组织病理改变,抑制肺组织中IL-1β、IL-6、TNF-α水平。分子水平研究表明,小儿清肺知脑糖浆可降低TRPV1、PTGER2和PKA的表达。结论小儿清肺止疮糖浆可抑制关键靶基因IL-1β、IL-6、TNF-α,减轻炎症反应,控制LPS辣椒素反应,通过PGE2-E2受体- pka通路影响TRPV1通道,改善PIC。本研究结果为小儿清肺止疮糖浆治疗原发性多囊性关节炎提供了科学依据。
