OBJECTIVES:To explore the effect and mechanism of acupuncture at "Feishu" (BL 13) and "Dingchuan" (EX-B 1), and "Kongzui" (LU 6) and "Yuji" (LU 10) for relaxing the airway smooth muscle in the rats during acute asthma attack and compare the effect among the two pairs of acupoints and the acupoints combination.METHODS:Forty SD male rats with SPF grade were randomly divided into a blank group, a model group, a pair-point A group (acupuncture at "Feishu" [BL 13] and "Dingchuan" [EX-B 1]), a pair-point B group (acupuncture at "Kongzui" [LU 6] and "Yuji" [LU 10]) and a point combination group (acupuncture at "Feishu" [BL 13] , "Dingchuan" [EX-B 1], "Kongzui" [LU 6] and "Yuji" [LU 10]), with 8 rats in each group. Except the rats in the blank group, the model of acute asthma attack was induced by ovalbumin (OVA) combined with aluminum hydroxide gel in the rest groups. Started on the 15th day of modeling, except in the blank group and the model group, acupuncture was delivered in the other groups, 30 min in each intervention, once daily, for 14 days. In each group, the latent period of asthma inducing was measured; the lung resistance (LR) and dynamic lung compliance (Cdyn) were determined using lung function detector; the levels of endothelin-1 (ET-1), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) and cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) in serum and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) were measured by ELISA; with Masson staining and electron microscopy adopted, the morphology and ultrastructure of airway smooth muscle of the rats were observed; the mRNA and protein expressions of ET-1 and beta-2 adrenergic receptor (β2-AR) were detected by quantitative real-time fluorescence and Western blot, respectively.RESULTS:Compared with the blank group, the latent period of asthma inducing was shortened (P<0.05), RL increased and Cdyn decreased (P<0.05) with the different concentrations of methacholine (0.025 mg/kg, 0.05 mg/kg, 0.1 mg/kg, 0.2 mg/kg) in the model group. In the pair-point A group, the pair-point B group and the point combination group, the latent period of asthma inducing was prolonged (P<0.05), RL decreased and Cdyn increased (P<0.05) with different concentrations of methacholine when compared with those in the model group; and the latent period of asthma inducing in the point combination group was longer than that in the pair-point A group (P<0.05). Compared with the blank group, the levels of ET-1, TNF-α and cGMP in the serum and BALF were elevated (P<0.05), and those of cAMP reduced (P<0.05) in the model group. The levels of ET-1, TNF-α and cGMP in the serum and BALF were reduced (P<0.05), and those of cAMP elevated (P<0.05) in the pair-point A group, the pair-point B group and the point combination group when compared with those in the model group. In the blank group, the lung tissue was normal structurally. In the model group, the collagen fibers were proliferated increasingly, the smooth muscle was thickened, the mitochondria were swollen, and their cristae disrupted and reduced massively. In the pair-point B group, the collagen fibers were proliferated, the smooth muscle was thicker compared with that in the blank group, the mitochondria were mildly swollen and their cristae disrupted partially. In the pair-point A group and the point combination group, the lung tissue changes were obviously alleviated in comparison with the model group, the mitochondria were slightly swollen and their cristae disrupted occasionally. Compared with the blank group, the mRNA and protein expression of ET-1 increased and that of β2-AR decreased in the lung tissue of the model group (P<0.05). In the pair-point A group, the pair-point B group and the point combination group, the mRNA and protein expression of ET-1 was reduced and that of β2-AR elevated in the lung tissue when compared with those in the model group (P<0.05). In comparison with the pair-point A group, the mRNA expression of β2-AR was elevated in the point combination group (P<0.05). When compared with the pair-point B group, the mRNA expression of β2-AR increased, the protein expression of ET-1 decreased (P<0.05) in the point combination group.CONCLUSIONS:Acupuncture at "Feishu" (BL 13) and "Dingchuan" (EX-B 1), "Kongzui" (LU 6) and "Yuji" (LU 10), two pairs of acupoints relieves the airway smooth muscle spasm in the rats during acute asthma attack, which may be related to inhibiting the mRNA and protein expression of ET-1 to reduce the excretion of ET-1 and TNF-α; while enhancing the mRNA and protein expression of β2-AR to balance the levels of cAMP and cGMP. The effect is optimal when acupuncture is delivered at two pairs of acupoints simultaneously.

Bronchial asthma (asthma for short) is a common chronic respiratory disease inchildren, which has adverse effects on children's physical and mental health. Nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) signaling pathway is an important transcription factor in airway inflammation, and plays an important role in airway inflammation and airway remodeling in asthma. Clinical studies have found that traditional Chinese medicine has positive effects in the treatment of asthma. Hence, this paper aims to review the literatures on the treatment of asthma through traditional Chinese medicine compound and single herbs and extracts by regulating the NF-κB signaling pathway for nearly a decade. It is found that traditional Chinese medicine can inhibit airway inflammation, relieve airway smooth muscle spasm and reduce airway resistance through the regulation of NF-κB signaling pathway, so as to play a key role in the treatment of asthma, and provide a scientific basis for the treatment of asthma with traditional Chinese medicine.

OBJECTIVE To explore the effect of moxa-cone moxibustion at "Feishu" (BL13) and "Zhongfu" (LU1) on the contents of related inflammatory factors in serum and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF), and the expression of phosphatidy-linositol-3-kinase (PI3K), retinoic acid related orphan receptor γt (RORγt) and fork/wing helix transcription factor 3 (Foxp3) in lung tissue in asthma mice. METHODS Sixty male Balb/c mice were divided into normal, model, LY294002 (an inhibitor of PI3K, LY), electroacupuncture (EA) and moxa-cone moxibustion (moxibustion) groups (n=12 in each group). The asthma model was established by intraperitoneal injection of ovalbumin sensitization. The mice in the LY group were injected with LY 294002 (7.5 mg/kg) via the tail vein. EA or moxa-cone moxibustion was applied at BL13 and LU1 in the EA or moxibustion group once daily for 2 weeks. The levels of immunoglobulin E (IgE), interleukin-4 (IL-4) and interferon-γ (IFN-γ) in serum and BALF were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The expressions of PI3K, RORγt and Foxp3 in lung tissue were detected by real-time fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction (QRT PCR) and immunohistochemistry. RESULTS Compared with the normal group, the levels of IgE and IL-4 in serum and BALF, the expressions of PI3K and RORγt mRNA and protein in lung tissue were significantly increased (P<0.01), while the levels of IFN-γ, and the expressions of Foxp3 mRNA and protein were significantly reduced (P<0.01) in the model group. Compared with the model group, the levels of IgE and IL-4 in serum and BALF, the expressions of PI3K and RORγt mRNA and protein in lung tissue were significantly decreased (P<0.01, P<0.05), and the levels of IFN-γ in serum and BALF, the expressions of Foxp3 mRNA and protein in lung tissue were significantly increased (P<0.01) in the LY, EA and moxibustion groups. CONCLUSION Moxa cone moxibustion at Shu- and Mu-acupoints of the lung meridian can reduce airway inflammatory reaction and control asthma attacks in asthma mice, which is closely related to its effects in regulating the expressions of RORγt and Foxp3 through PI3K signaling pathway.

OBJECTIVE:To observe the effect of moxa-cone moxibustion at lung's back-shu points and front-mu points on the expression of helper T lymphocyte 17 (Th 17)/regulatory T lymphocyte (Treg) in mice with asthma, and to explore the possible mechanism of moxa-cone moxibustion on asthma. METHODS:Sixty SPF-grade healthy male Balb/c mice were randomly divided into a normal group, a model group, an LY294002 group (LY group), an electroacupuncture (EA) group and a moxibustion group, 12 mice in each group. Asthma model was replicated by using ovalbumin (OVA) sensitization. Except the mice in the normal group, all the mice were intraperitoneally injected with sensitization solution (containing 15 μg of OVA and 30 mg of aluminum hydroxide) on the 1st day, 7th day and 14th day, 0.5 mL per mice; from the 15th day, 1% OVA solution was atomized for 20 min, once a day for 2 weeks; the mice in the normal group was treated with identical operations but with 0.9% sodium chloride solution. The mice in the LY group were treated with injection of LY294002 at tail vein on the 13th day, 14th day and 15th day. At the beginning of the 15th day, The mice in the EA group were treated with EA at "Feishu" (BL 13) and "Zhongfu" (LU 1) with disperse-dense wave, frequency of 2 Hz/20 Hz, intensity of 1 mA, 15 min each time, once a day for 2 weeks. The mice in the moxibustion group was treated with moxa-cone moxibustion at "Feishu" (BL 13) and "Zhongfu" (LU 1) from the 15th day, three moxa-cones per acupoint, once a day for 2 weeks. On the 16th day, 18th day and 22nd day, the incubation period of asthma was recorded. On the 29th day, all the samples were collected. The expressions of IL-17 and IL-10 in serum and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) were detected by ELISA method. The pathological changes of lung tissue were observed by HE staining. The percentage of Th17, Treg and Th17/Treg ratio in spleen tissue were detected by flow cytometry method. RESULTS:Compared with the normal group, the incubation period of asthma in the model group was significantly shortened (P<0.01), while that in the LY group, the EA group and the moxibustion group was longer than that in the model group (P<0.01). After the intervention, bleeding and inflammatory exudation in the lung tissue were observed in the model group, and a large number of inflammatory cell infiltration around the bronchus and alveoli was found, and extensive consolidation appeared; the pathological changes of lung tissue in the LY group, the EA group and the moxibustion group were significantly reduced, and the structure of bronchus and alveoli was basically normal, and the inflammatory exudation and inflammatory cell infiltration were significantly reduced compared with the model group; the inflammatory reaction in the moxibustion group was slightly less than that in the LY group and the EA group. Compared with the normal group, the content of IL-17 in serum and BALF, the percentage of Th17 and Th17/Treg ratio in spleen tissue in the model group after intervention were increased (P<0.01), while the content of IL-10 in serum and BALF and the percentage of Treg in spleen tissue were decreased (P<0.01, P<0.05). Compared with the model group, the contents of IL-17 in serum and BALF, Th17 percentage and Th17/Treg ratio in spleen tissue in the LY group, the EA group and the moxibustion group were significantly reduced (P<0.01, P<0.05), while the content of IL-10 in serum and BALF and the percentage of Treg in spleen tissue were increased (P<0.01, P<0.05). The above indice had no significant difference among all the intervention groups (P>0.05). CONCLUSION:The Th17/Treg is imbalanced in asthmatic body. The moxibustion at lung's back-shu points and front-mu points can control asthma by regulating Th17/Treg imbalance and restoring immune homeostasis.

小儿五脏有余及不足的生理特点不是相互独立的,而是相互影响,相互作用的.小儿某一脏腑的轻微变化,很容易引起有关脏腑、甚至五脏关系的破坏,导致疾病发生.小儿药膳根据儿童五脏的生理病理特点,施用具体不同的药膳配方,不仅满足小儿的生长需求,而且借药物之性矫正机体脏腑阴阳之偏,机体的阴阳得以相对的平衡、协调,从而增强小儿机体抵御外邪侵袭的能力,预防疾病的发生,达到“未病先防”“上工治未病”的目的.另外,考虑到小儿惧怕苦味,小儿药膳可以少用药物,甚至不用药物,应多选用药食两用的中药,如山药、茯苓、枸杞、百合等.
Objective:To investigate the protective effect of Pollen Pini on oxidative damage of HepG2 cells induced by H2O2.Method:HepG2 cells were divided into normal control group,H2O2 model group and intervention group.HepG2 cells of the intervention group were pretreated with different concentrations of Pollen Pini for 12 h.Then,to produce oxidative stress,the H2O2 model group and the intervention group were treated with 400 μmol·L-1H2O2 to damage cells for 2 h.Cell viability was measured by methylthiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay.To evaluate the protective effect of Pini Pollen on HepG2 cells,cell viability,intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS),superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activities,lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and malondialdehyde (MDA) contents were detected.In addition,the expressions of key genes nuclear factor-E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2),Kelch-like epichlorohydrin-associated protein 1 (Keap 1),heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1),glutamate-cysteine ligase (GCL) in antioxidant pathway were determined by western blot.Result:MTT results showed that,compared with normal control group,the cytotoxicity of Pollen Pini groups (80,40,20,10,5 mg·L-1) were non-toxic.The contents of ROS,LDH and MDA in the H2O2 model group were significantly increased (P < 0.01),while the activities of SOD and GSH-Px were significantly depressed (P < 0.01).Compared with the H2O2 model group,the contents of ROS,LDH and MDA in the intervention group were significantly reduced (P < 0.05,P < 0.01),whereas the activities of SOD and GSH-Px were significantly increased (P < 0.05,P < 0.01).Western blot results indicated that pollen pini up-regulated protein expressions of Nrf2,HO-1 and GCL,but down-regulated the expression of Keap1 protein.Conclusion:The 5-20 mg·L-1 of Pollen Pini can effectively protect 400 μmol·L-1 H2O2-induced oxidative stress damage in HepG2 cells.The mechanism may be related to regulation of the activity of SOD,GSH-Px activity,ROS,LDH and MDA levels,and protein expressions of key genes Nrf2,Keap 1,HO-1,and GCL in the antioxidant pathway.
