本方案以益奇节度狙为样本，描述了骨肉瘤模型小鼠的详细管饲技术。本实验采用4周龄雄性无胸腺小鼠（BALB/c裸体），饲养在上海中医药大学实验动物中心SPF级育种室。所有动物实验均经上海中医药大学动物管理委员会批准，符合《实验动物伦理规范》（动物伦理批准号:PZSHUTCM2304060007），严格按照国际实验动物相关要求进行。
1. 材料
<ol><li>获取以下材料:中草药（人参 42 g、 Hedyotis diffusa 52.5 g、带刺黄芩草本 31.5 g）、1 mL 注射器和 12G/55 mm 肘部管饲针（图 1）。</li>
</ol>2.剂量测定
<ol><li>按以下方式计算日用量:标准体重60kg的成虫日用量为人参12g、 弥漫蓿 15g、倒刺黄芩草9g，共36g即饮药，即0.6g即食药/kg体重。参考标准体重60kg的成虫与标准体重25g的小鼠11的等效剂量12倍、低剂量6倍、高剂量24倍，以及我们的初步数据，本研究中对小鼠使用剂量比例为20倍的益齐节度汤， 因此，小鼠的剂量为12g即食药物/kg体重。</li>
	<li>使用以下公式计算每只小鼠的剂量: 小鼠剂量（站立体重）=成人剂量（站立体重）×20（指定等效剂量比）。 每只小鼠的日剂量为0.3g[（12g即食药物/ 1000g体重）x 25g体重]在200μL中，终浓度为1.5g/ mL。</li>
	<li>计算强饲给药28天的益琦节度汤组小鼠（n=7）的总煎药为58.8g。将其浓缩至 39.2 mL，以达到 1.5 g/mL 的最终浓度。</li>
	<li>考虑到煎煮和管饲阶段可能发生的药物损失，为了方便计算，制备共126g（人参 42g，Hedyotis diffusa 52.5g，带刺黄芩草31.5g）煎药，浓缩成最终体积为84mL。</li>
</ol>3. 细胞来源和培养
<ol><li>从ATCC细胞库购买人源性143B骨肉瘤细胞。</li>
	<li>在 10 cm 细胞培养皿中将 1 x 106 143B 细胞接种在含有 10% FBS、100 U/mL 青霉素和 100 μg/mL 链霉素的 10 mL MEM 培养基中。</li>
	<li>在37°C下在5%CO2 培养箱中培养143B细胞，直至细胞80%-90%汇合。</li>
</ol>4. 建模方法
<ol><li>收集 80% 汇合培养的 143B 细胞，重悬于 6 mL 含 10% 血清的 MEM 培养基中，并以 1:1 的体积比与基底膜基质凝胶混合，制成终浓度为 1 x 107 个细胞/mL 的细胞悬浮液。</li>
	<li>将 10 μL 细胞悬液注射到每只无胸腺小鼠的左胫骨中，以建立 原位 异种移植骨肉瘤小鼠模型，如我们之前的出版物12 中所述。步骤简述如下。<ol><li>用PBS洗涤细胞2次。用 1.5 mL 0.25% 胰蛋白酶使细胞胰蛋白酶消化 3 分钟。加入 6 mL 含 10% 血清的 MEM 培养基。将细胞收集在 15 mL 离心管中。</li>
		<li>将 20 μL 细胞悬液吸入细胞计数板的腔室中，并使用自动细胞计数器计算细胞浓度。在室温下以800× g 离心细胞5分钟。</li>
		<li>用移液管弃去上清液，将细胞沉淀重悬于8.5mg / mL基底膜基质中，并将其置于冰上。</li>
		<li>通过将小鼠暴露于2%异氟烷和98%氧气（氧流速，2L / min）来麻醉小鼠。在眼睛上涂抹少量兽医软膏，以防止麻醉时干燥。</li>
		<li>在通风良好的地方进行整个过程。在骨肉瘤细胞注射前，通过轻轻触摸脚部，确保每只小鼠处于深度麻醉状态;如果鼠标仍有反应，例如抽搐或抽搐。如果鼠标仍有反应（如抽搐或抽搐），请等待更长的时间，直到这些反应消失。</li>
		<li>将鼠标置于仰卧位。用拇指和食指握住鼠标的脚踝，并用三轮交替的甜菜碱和70%乙醇拭子对胫骨注射部位进行消毒。</li>
		<li>将针头连接到 1 mL 注射器上，并将针尖指向平行于胫骨轴线的注射部位。经皮插入针头，在胫骨远端钻一个孔，穿过胫骨平台。</li>
		<li>将先前放在冰上的骨肉瘤细胞悬液加载到微量注射器中，并用载有骨肉瘤细胞的微量注射器替换胫骨中的 1 mL 注射器。缓慢将约10μL（1×10,7个细胞/ mL）骨肉瘤细胞悬液注射到每个无胸腺小鼠的胫骨中。</li>
		<li>从注射部位取出微量注射器，用棉签按压注射部位约30秒。将鼠标放回干净的笼子中，观察其恢复10分钟。</li>
	</ol></li>
</ol>5.中药管饲配方的制备（图2）
<ol><li>按照步骤2计算剂量。</li>
	<li>将除昂贵的药材人参外的所有药材浸泡在比药材表面高3厘米的饮用水中30分钟，然后如下所述进行2次煎煮。</li>
	<li>通过在强火上加热至沸腾，然后在温和的火上加热15-25分钟来进行第一次煎剂。轻度火灾是指温度通常在 80 °C 至 100 °C 之间的低功率热量，而强火是指通常在 200 °C 至 300 °C 之间的高功率热量。</li>
	<li>将汤液倒入一个容器中。</li>
	<li>通过在饮用水中加热药材进行第二次煎剂，其体积刚好足以淹没药物表面，在强火上煮沸，然后在温和的火上加热15-25分钟。</li>
	<li>将煎剂倒入与步骤5.4相同的容器中。</li>
	<li>将42克人参分别浸泡和煎煮，饮用水比药面高3厘米，因为它很贵。</li>
	<li>通过在强火上加热60分钟来执行浸泡过的人参的第一次煎煮。 将煎剂倒入与步骤5.4相同的容器中。</li>
	<li>在饮用水中进行人参的第二次煎煮，其体积刚好足以淹没药物表面，在温和的火上加热40分钟。将煎剂倒入与步骤5.4相同的容器中。 注意:用于煎剂的容器应具有化学稳定性，例如砂锅菜（临床实践中最常用的）、陶瓷、玻璃和不锈钢，以避免与药物发生化学反应。所有从不同步骤获得的汤液必须放入同一容器中。</li>
	<li>使用用橡皮筋固定在量杯口的三层纱布混合和过滤汤液。</li>
	<li>将过滤后的汤剂在锅中用强火煮沸，然后换成温和的火，保持温和的火，直到达到目标浓度（终体积为84mL，终浓度为1.5g/mL）。</li>
	<li>根据胃内给药所需的剂量制备浓缩汤剂的21mL等分试样1周，并将等分试样储存在-20°C的冰箱中。</li>
</ol>6.使用强饲装置对小鼠进行管饲
<ol><li>将鼠标放在鼠标笼的表面或其他较粗糙的表面上。</li>
	<li>用右手的拇指和食指抓住鼠标的尾巴。然后，用左手的拇指、食指和中指抓住鼠标的脖子。</li>
	<li>用左手的另外两个手指握住鼠标尾巴，使鼠标的头部、颈部和身体成一条直线。 注意: 确保在整个抓取过程中保持鼠标放松。如果鼠标一直挣扎着移动，则应执行抓取过程，直到鼠标放松。</li>
	<li>右手握住管饲装置，为体重为20g的小鼠（100μL汤剂配方/ 10g体重的小鼠）加载200μL汤剂配方。</li>
	<li>将管饲针从角落插入口腔，并将舌头推到小鼠的上颚上。</li>
	<li>将鼠体保持在同一方向，并沿着食道轻轻地将管饲针推向胃部，直到管饲针留在外面约 10 毫米。 注意:当管饲针进入食道时，有一种空心的感觉。插入小鼠的管饲针的长度应测量到胸骨顶部。管饲针的总长度为60mm（图3），因此，在将汤剂注射到小鼠胃中之前，应将约50mm的管饲针插入小鼠体内。</li>
	<li>将汤剂配方注射到小鼠的胃中。遇到阻力或液体从嘴角流出意味着管饲针错位，必须避免。此外，如果汤剂配方较浓，则必须减慢注射速度。</li>
	<li>松开鼠标并观察它们 10 分钟。如果没有观察到呼吸异常，则管饲成功，并将小鼠放回笼中（图4）。</li>
</ol>7.疗程
<ol><li>为探究益奇节度汤的治疗效果，设置对照组和益奇节度度汤组。对于对照组中的小鼠，给予生理盐水，每天一次，持续28天。对于益奇洁度汤组的小鼠，每天施用益汤28天。</li>
</ol>8.不良反应
<ol><li>仔细观察小鼠被放回笼子后的状态，包括体重减轻和由于食物无法进入胃部而导致的精神状态下降。</li>
	<li>由于食物引起的气管阻塞，小鼠会出现呼吸困难和呼吸急促，并会咳嗽以试图清除气管。如果在管饲过程中观察到任何这些症状，请立即停止管饲并对小鼠实施安乐死。</li>

处方药材在中药中的临床疗效很大程度上与给药剂量和剂型有关;因此，在临床实践中，建立标准化的煎剂策略和熟练的给药过程以及提高实验结果的可靠性是必要的。
本研究首先为中药临床实践中药材标准化汤剂提供了详细的策略，便于引导人们科学用药，也切实提高了中药的汤剂质量和临床疗效;因此，一旦实现标准化，将提高草药疗效在临床实践中的准确性和一致性。</p...

汤剂是中药和药液中最常用的剂型1,2。中药的汤剂配方是将草药浸泡后在水中煎煮，然后过滤以丢弃渣滓。
由于汤剂配方可以根据临床需要进行个体化，特别是符合中医循证治疗的特点，这种经口给药的剂型在临床实践中已有数千年的应用，具有特定且不可替代的优势3,4.汤剂配方的好坏与临床疗效直接相关。因此，必须根据标准化的汤剂方法原理制备汤剂，以确保有效成分得到最大程度的提取和保护3。同时，即饮用药是临床实践中使用的生中草药的主要形式;处方即饮药的质量标准和生产方法必须符合《中国药典》第二版的规定。此外，处方的即食药必须在冷饮水中浸泡至少30分钟，然后才能在特殊的药锅中加热5。研究表明，大部分有效成分可通过煎煮两次来提取，《医疗机构中药煎剂室管理操作规范》也规定煎煮两次4,6,7。如果开了特殊的中草药，例如质地坚硬或滋补品的中草药，建议延长煎煮时间。与汤剂直接接触的汤器皿和储存容器，从浸泡处方即食药物的容器开始，应具有化学稳定性并有盖，例如砂锅菜、陶瓷、玻璃和不锈钢。但是，不应使用铝和普通塑料制品，而应禁止使用铁和其他腐蚀性器皿，以避免可能的化学反应，这会降低治疗效果，甚至产生有害影响4,6,7。
由于进行临床实验的局限性，携带人类疾病的小动物，如小鼠，经常被用于医学研究，以探索不同干预措施的治疗效果和综合机制，包括中药的汤剂配方8,9;然而，与人类不同的是，汤剂配方应每天配制，混合在一起，并在临床实践中每天新鲜给药2次。动物无法自愿按时按规定剂量服药，目前与中药相关的动物实验大多是以管饲法口服的汤剂给药。用于体内动物实验的汤剂配方应提前制备，等分，在-20°C下储存，并在使用前解冻3,4,10。此外，不合格的动物固定和管饲针操作会增加不必要的伤害和负面情绪的风险。因此，作为经口给药的重要方法，熟练的管饲技术对于避免可能的食管损伤和药物溢出尤为重要，从而保证每只模式动物接受等量的处方草药，以达到准确的实验结果。在这里，我们为中药的汤剂配方提供了一个灌胃方案。

gavage strategy for decoction formula of traditional chinese medicine in osteosarcoma model mice

汤剂是中医中最常用的剂型，经口给药在临床实践中应用了数千年，其特点是见效快、易吸收、根据患者具体症候进行个体化治疗。汤剂配方的好坏直接关系到中药的临床疗效;因此，汤剂配方的标准化过程对于避免主观因素造成的汤剂质量差异具有重要意义。同时，由于进行临床实验的局限性，携带人类疾病的小动物，如小鼠，经常被用于医学研究，以探索不同干预措施的治疗效果和综合机制，包括中药的汤剂配方。因此，作为一种重要的经口给药方法，熟练的管饲技术对于避免潜在的食管损伤和药物溢出尤为重要，这将确保对每只模型动物施用等量的药物，从而获得准确的实验结果。此外，标准化的汤剂配方制备方法和熟练的管饲策略对于保护动物福利和尽量减少使用动物数量是必要的。在此，我们以益奇节度汤剂在骨肉瘤小鼠模型中报告了煎剂配方和管饲技术的详细标准化过程。通过肿瘤体积评估疗效。该方案将最大限度地保护动物，提高研究数据的可靠性，从而为未来研究中药 汤剂体内的治疗效果和分子机制提供有效的策略。

以胫骨内异种移植骨肉瘤小鼠模型为研究对象，将143B骨肉瘤细胞注射到无胸腺小鼠胫骨中，测定了益奇节度汤对骨肉瘤 体内 生长的抑制作用。从143B注射的第二天开始，以强饲法给益祺节度汤组小鼠施用益祁节度汤28 d。对照组小鼠给予生理盐水。所有小鼠在28天后被安乐死。结果显示，与对照组相比，益祁节度汤组的肿瘤体积明显减少（图5）。

Preparation of Herbal Medicine: Er-Xian Decoction and Er-Xian-containing Serum for In Vivo and In Vitro Experiments

Traditional herbal medicine, an alternative medicine in the clinical setting, has received increased attention in recent years. Before delivery to the body, an additional extraction procedure is commonly required to release the active constituents from raw herbs. Water decoction is a classical extraction procedure that is still broadly used in the clinical settings. Here, we propose a detailed protocol for er-xian decoction (EXD) in order to apply herbal decoctions to experimental studies. The calculation of an animal-appropriate dose is described, as well as the four main steps of EXD: soaking, water decoction, filtration, and concentration. In addition, serum-containing EXD is introduced to rats as a means of in vitro validation. Here, rats were orally administered EXD for three days. Blood samples were then collected, inactivated, centrifuged, and filtered. The serum, diluted with the culture medium, can be utilized to treat cells or tissues in vitro. For example, EXD was applied to both in vivo and in vitro studies and demonstrated that EXD enhances osteogenesis. This protocol can be used as a reference for the preparation and application of herbal medicines.

Preparation Of Gushukang (GSK) Granules for In Vivo and In Vitro Experiments

Traditional Chinese herbal medicine plays a role as an alternative method in treating many diseases, such as postmenopausal osteoporosis (POP). Gushukang (GSK) granules, a marketed prescription in China, have bone-protective effects in treating POP. Before administration to the body, one standard preparation procedure is commonly required, which aims to promote the release of active constituents from raw herbs and enhance the pharmacological effects as well as therapeutic outcomes. This study proposes a detailed protocol for using GSK granules in in vivo and in vitro experimental assays. The authors first provide a detailed protocol to calculate the animal-appropriate dosages of granules for in vivo investigation: weighing, dissolving, storage, and administration. Second, this article describes protocols for micro-CT scanning and the measurement of bone parameters. Sample preparation, protocols for running the micro-CT machine and quantification of bone parameters were evaluated. Third, serum-containing GSK granules are prepared, and drug-containing serum is extracted for in vitro osteoclastogenesis and osteoblastogenesis. GSK granules were intragastrically administered twice per day to rats for three consecutive days. Blood was then collected, centrifuged, inactivated, and filtered.

An In Vitro Dissolution Determination of Multi-Index Components in Tibetan Medicine Rhodiola Granules

The composition of the Tibetan medicine Rhodiola granules (RG) is complex, and the overall quality of RG is difficult to determine. Therefore, establishing a method to determine the multi-component in vitro dissolution of RG is of great significance for quality control. This study uses the second paddle method of the fourth general rule 0931 from the Chinese Pharmacopoeia (2020 edition), compliant with apparatus 2 of the United States Pharmacopeia (USP). The dissolution apparatus was set to a rotation speed of 100 rpm with ultrapure water as the dissolution medium. A sample volume of 1 mL was collected at each timepoint. Furthermore, the cumulative dissolution of gallic acid, salidroside, and ethyl gallic acid in RG at different time points was determined by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Finally, the dissolution curves were drawn, and the curves were fitted to the GompertzMod, the Gompertz, the Logistic, and the Weibull equations. The results showed that the cumulative dissolution of gallic acid in RG was over 80% at 1 min, the cumulative dissolution of salidroside and ethyl gallic acid was over 65% at 5 min, and the cumulative dissolution of each index component decreased after 30 min. The curve fitting demonstrated that the GompertzMod equation was the best-fitting model for each index component of RG. In conclusion, the dissolution test method described in this protocol is simple, accurate, and reliable. It can characterize the dissolution behavior of the index components in RG in vitro, which provides a methodological reference for quality control of RG and quality evaluation of other ethnic compounds.

Visualization of Metabolites Identified in the Spatial Metabolome of Traditional Chinese Medicine Using DESI-MSI

The medicinal use of traditional Chinese medicine is mainly due to its secondary metabolites. Visualization of the distribution of these metabolites has become a crucial topic in plant science. Mass spectrometry imaging can extract huge volumes of data and provide spatial distribution information about these by analyzing tissue slices. With the advantage of high throughput and higher accuracy, desorption electrospray ionization mass spectrometry imaging (DESI-MSI) is often used in biological research and in the study of traditional Chinese medicine. However, the procedures used in this research are complicated and not affordable. In this study, we optimized sectioning and DESI imaging procedures and developed a more cost-effective method to identify the distribution of metabolites and categorize these compounds in plant tissues, with a special focus on traditional Chinese medicines. The study will promote the utilization of DESI in metabolite analysis and standardization of traditional Chinese medicine/ethnic medicine for research-related technologies.

In this study, a series of methods are presented to prepare DESI-MSI samples from plants, and a procedure of DESI assembly installation, MSI data acquisition, and processing is described in detail. This protocol can be applied in several conditions for acquiring spatial metabolome information in plants.

Enema of Traditional Chinese Medicine for Patients with Severe Acute Pancreatitis

Severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) is characterized by high mortality rates, numerous complications, and extreme difficulties in treatment. A traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) enema has been widely utilized in clinical and experimental studies of SAP. It has been demonstrated to have beneficial effects in protecting pancreatic function and delaying disease progression. The procedure of TCM enema is to perfuse the Chinese medicinal liquid of raw rhubarb (Rheum officinale Baill. DaHuang) from the anus into the rectum and colon. Basic steps of the procedure include boiling the herbal solution in advance, using a disposable enema kit to assist patients in taking a left lying position, raising the patient's hip 10 cm, and carefully inserting the enema 30-35 cm into the anus, with a drip speed of 60-80 drops/min. The medicine liquid temperature should be equivalent to the patient's body temperature, typically between 37-39 &#176;C. The end of the enema operation should be slow, and Tui na (massage therapy) should be administered before extubation. The medication liquid should be kept in the rectum for more than 1 h. After issuing an enema, it is essential to observe the patient's feces and abdomen, and to evaluate the remission of abdominal signs and symptoms.

An enema is a type of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) therapy used to treat severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). The therapy involves instilling a TCM liquid into the rectum and colon through the anus to keep the liquid in the intestine, absorbing through the intestinal mucosa. This study aims to standardize the enema procedure for SAP patients.

Objectification of Tongue Diagnosis in Traditional Medicine, Data Analysis, and Study Application

Tongue diagnosis is an essential technique of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) diagnosis, and the need for objectifying tongue images through image processing technology is growing. The present study provides an overview of the progress made in tongue objectification over the past decade and compares segmentation models. Various deep learning models are constructed to verify and compare algorithms using real tongue image sets. The strengths and weaknesses of each model are analyzed. The findings indicate that the U-Net algorithm outperforms other models regarding precision accuracy (PA), recall, and mean intersection over union (MIoU) metrics. However, despite the significant progress in tongue image acquisition and processing, a uniform standard for objectifying tongue diagnosis has yet to be established. To facilitate the widespread application of tongue images captured using mobile devices in tongue diagnosis objectification, further research could address the challenges posed by tongue images captured in complex environments.

The present study employed U-Net and other deep learning algorithms to segment a tongue image and compared the segmentation results to investigate the objectification of tongue diagnosis.

A Traditional Chinese Medicine Characteristic Therapy for Bronchial Asthma: Moxibustion

Bronchial asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of the airway which can lead to symptoms such as recurrent wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, or cough, as a result of increased airway reactivity. With high diurnal variation, these symptoms often occur or worsen at night or in the morning. By burning and roasting the Chinese medica above human acupoints, moxibustion is a type of treatment that stimulates the activity of the human meridians through drugs and heat stimulation to prevent and treat diseases. According to the principle of syndrome differentiation and treatment of traditional Chinese medicine, acupoints are selected on the corresponding parts, which has a definite effect. It is regarded as a characteristic traditional Chinese medicine therapy for bronchial asthma.

Tuina Intervention in Rabbit Model of Knee Osteoarthritis

Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is mainly characterized by degenerative changes in the knee joint's cartilage and surrounding soft tissues. The efficacy of Tuina in treating KOA has been confirmed, but the underlying mechanism needs to be investigated. This study aims to establish a scientifically feasible KOA rabbit model treated with Tuina to reveal the underlying mechanisms. For this, 18, 6-month-old normal-grade male New Zealand rabbits were randomly divided into sham, model, and Tuina groups, with 6 rabbits in each group. The KOA model was established by injecting 4% papain solution into the knee joint cavity. The Tuina group was intervened with Tuina combined with the knee joint rotary correction method for 4 weeks. Only the standard grasping and fixation were performed in sham and model groups. At the end of the 1-week intervention, the knee joint range of motion (ROM) was observed, and cartilage hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining was done. The study shows that Tuina could inhibit chondrocyte apoptosis, repair cartilage tissue, and restore knee joint ROM. In conclusion, this study demonstrates the scientific feasibility of Tuina treatment for KOA model rabbits, highlighting its potential application in the study of KOA and similar knee joint-related conditions.
