RESUMEN
Objective To study the effect and mechanism of Anchusa italica Retz on cerebral ischemia-reperfusion inju-ry in rats based on the target network of active compounds in Anchusa italica Retz.Methods The rat model of cerebral ische-mia-reperfusion injury was established by the thread occlusion method.After performing ischemia for 1.5 h and then reperfusion for 24 h,the neurological function of rats was scored and the volume of cerebral infarction was measured by the 2,3,5-triphenyltet-razolium chloride staining method.The molecular network analysis technique of network pharmacology,protein-protein interaction network,gene ontology(GO)enrichment analysis,KEGG signal pathway analysis,and molecular docking was used to study the mechanism of Anchusa italica Retz in the treatment of cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury.Results The administration of An-chusa italica Retz could significantly improve the neurobehavioral dysfunction caused by cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury and reduce the pathological injury of brain tissue.Anchusa italica Retz could regulate inflammation,apoptosis,protein phosphorylation,and other biological processes through 143 ischemic stroke-related targets,and interfere with the TNF signal pathway,VEGF signal pathway,HIF-1 signal pathway,and other pathways.Conclusion Network pharmacology and experimental verification had shown that Anchusa italica Retz could effectively reduce brain injury and protect neurological function through multi-target,multi-mechanism,and holistic treatment of cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury.
RESUMEN
Objective To observe the therapeutic effect of Tianwang Buxin Decoction for delirium after hip joint replacement in senile femoral neck fracture patients. Methods A total of 57 senile patients with femoral neck fracture induced by falling were enrolled from the department of arthropathy of Zhongshan Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine admitted from September of 2009 to February of 2014. The patents were aged over 65 years, and had delirium after hip joint replacement. Random number method was used to divide the patients into Chinese medicine group ( 29 cases) and western medicine group ( 28 cases) , which were given oral use of Tianwang Buxin Decoction and Olanzapine separetely. Before and after treatment, we observed the scores of Delirium Rating Scale (DRS), time for delirium disappearing, and incidence of indifferent mind and somnolence.Results (1) After treatment, DRS scores were obviously decreased in both groups (P0.05). (2) The difference of time for delirium disappearing was insignificant between the two groups after treatment ( P>0.05). ( 3) After treatment, 7 cases of the control group had indifferent mind or somnolence, accounting for 25%. No case of the treatment group had indifferent mind or somnolence. The difference between the two groups was significant ( P<0.01). Conclusion Oral use of Tianwang Buxin Decoction has the same effect as Olanzapine for the treatment of delirium after hip joint replacement in falling-induced senile femoral neck fracture patients, and has the advantages of having no adverse reaction of indifferent mind or somnolence, and can realize comprehensive treatment by modification of the recipe according to the symptoms.
