摘 要:OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the indicators of an animal model of gouty arthritis (GA) with dampness heat accumulation and the intervention effect of Tongfeng Qingxiao formula (痛风清消方, TFQXF).METHODS: Seventy-two healthy adult Sprague-Dawley male rats were selected and randomly divided into a normal group, model group, low-dose group, medium-dose group, high-dose group, and diclofenac group using a random number table method, with 12 rats in each group. After group intervention, the general condition of the rats in each group was monitored and recorded, and the swelling index was measured. After separating the serum, the changes in glutamic pyruvic transaminase (ALT), glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (AST), carbamide (UREA), creatinine (CREA), triglyceride (TG), total serum cholesterol (TC), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) in the serum of the rats in each group were measured using an automatic biochemical analyzer. The levels of motilin (MTL), gastrin (GAS), endothelin (ET), calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), heat shock protein 70 (HSP70), interleukin (IL)-1β, and nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB) in the serum of the rats in each group were evaluated using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kits. Kidney tissues were used to evaluate the protein and mRNA expression of aquaporin (AQP)1 and AQP2. Colon tissue was used to evaluate the protein and mRNA expression of AQP3 and AQP4 by Western blotting (WB) assay and real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). The levels of ALT, AST, UREA, and CREA were used to evaluate the liver and kidney function of rats. The levels of MTL and GAS were used to evaluate the gastrointestinal function of rats. The levels of TG, TC, LDL-C, HDL-C, AQP1, AQP2, AQP3, and AQP4 were used to evaluate the dampness syndrome performance in rats. The levels of ET, CGRP, and HSP70 were used to evaluate the heat syndrome performance in rats. The levels of IL-1β and NF-κ
