- “在泛血管疾病领域，中医理论提供了全面理解其复杂性并制定系统治疗方案的新视角，中医药结合现代科技，尤其是人工智能，有望提升早期识别和个性化治疗效率。”摘要：Panvascular disease， with vascular diseases as the common pathological feature， is mainly manifested as atherosclerosis. Panvascular disease mainly affects the important organs of the heart， brain， kidney， and limbs. It is one of the leading causes of death for Chinese residents at present. Previously， due to the narrow branches of disciplines， too much attention was paid to local lesions， resulting in the neglect of panvascular disease as a systemic one. The fact that panvascular disease has overall pathology and comprehensive and individualized treatment strategies， makes the disease highly compatible with the principles of holism concept and syndrome differentiation and treatment in traditional Chinese medicine （TCM）. It is believed that blood stasis is the core pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and is involved in the whole process of atherosclerosis. The theories of ''blood vessel''， ''meridians''， ''visceral manifestation''， and ''organs-meridians'' in TCM are helpful to comprehensively understand the complexity of panvascular diseases. Moreover， those theories can provide systematic treatment strategies. The TCM syndromes of panvascular diseases evolve from ''phlegm， stasis， stagnation， and deficiency''. Panvascular arteriosclerosis is related to the syndrome of ''stasis and phlegm''， and the treatment mainly promotes blood circulation and removes phlegm. There are different specific drugs and mechanisms of action for coronary atherosclerosis， cerebral atherosclerosis， and renal artery atherosclerotic stenosis. Panvascular venous lesions are related to the syndrome of ''deficiency and stasis'' in TCM， and the TCM treatment mainly invigorates Qi and promotes blood circulation， which can inhibit venous thrombosis， improve venous ulcers， and resist venous endothelial damage. Panvascular microcirculatory lesions are inseparable from the ''stagnation and stasis'' in TCM， and the treatment mainly promotes Qi and dredges collaterals， which has a good effect on coronary microvascular lesions， diabetic microvascular lesions， pulmonary microvascular lesions， and pancreatic microvascular lesions. Panvascular lymphatic lesions are related to the syndrome of ''water and stasis'' in TCM. The treatment method focuses on promoting blood circulation and water excretion， which can promote lymphangiogenesis and enhance lymphatic reflux. In addition， the combination of TCM and modern technology， especially the application of artificial intelligence， can improve the efficiency of early identification and personalized treatment， resulting in early screening and comprehensive management of panvascular diseases. Therefore， TCM will play a vital role in the prevention and treatment of panvascular diseases.关键词：panvascular disease;blood stasis;holism concept;syndrome differentiation and treatment;artificial intelligence29|10|0更新时间：2025-03-06

AD model was created using intracerebroventricular injection of streptozocin （STZ）. After 30 days of administration， behavioral assessments were conducted， and mitochondrial morphology was observed using transmission electron microscopy. Mitochondrial respiratory chain complex content was measured via enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）. Changes in mitochondrial membrane potential were measured via JC-1 staining， and superoxide dismutase （SOD） activity and reactive oxygen species （ROS） levels were measured via biochemical assays. The mRNA expression of adenosine 5'-monophosphate-activated protein kinase （AMPK）， peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator-1α （PGC-1α）， and silent information regulator 3 （SIRT3） was detected by real-time fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR）， and Western blot was used to examine the protein expression levels of optic atrophy protein1 （OPA1）， mitochondrial fission protein 1 （FIS1）， AMPK， p-AMPK， PGC-1α， and SIRT3.ResultsCompared with the sham group， rats in the model group had significantly lower recognition index， spontaneous alternation rate， escape latency， number of platform crossings， time spent in the target quadrant， and percentage of distance traveled in the target quadrant distance （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Significant mitochondrial damage was observed in the hippocampal tissue， with a marked decrease in mitochondrial respiratory chain complex content （P<0.01） and reduced mitochondrial membrane potential （P<0.05）. Additionally， the SOD activity was reduced， while ROS levels were elevated （P<0.01）. The mRNA expression of PGC-1α and SIRT3 was significantly downregulated （P<0.01）， along with decreased protein expression levels of OPA1， p-AMPK/AMPK， PGC-1α， and SIRT3， whereas FIS1 protein expression was significantly upregulated （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， rats in KXS-treated groups （various dosage forms） showed significant improvement in behavioral indexes （P<0.05， P<0.01）， reduced hippocampal mitochondrial damage， and more organized mitochondrial cristae. Mitochondrial respiratory chain complex content was significantly increased （P<0.05， P<0.01）， and mitochondrial membrane potentials were elevated （P<0.05）. SOD activity was elevated， and ROS levels were significantly reduced （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Furthermore， the mRNA expression of PGC-1α and SIRT3 was upregulated， with increased protein levels of OPA1， p-AMPK/AMPK， PGC-1α， and SIRT3， while FIS1 protein expression levels were significantly reduced （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Across the KXS-treated groups， the granule group showed a higher spontaneous alternation rate than the decoction and powder groups （P<0.05）.ConclusionKXS decoction， powders， and granules can improve the learning and memory ability of rats， with granules being the most effective. The mechanism of action may involve activation of the AMPK/PGC-1α/SIRT3 signaling pathway， improvement of the mitochondrial function， and subsequent amelioration of the brain energy metabolism disorders.关键词：Alzheimer's disease;Kaixinsan;dosage form;mitochondrial function;adenosine 5'-monophosphate-activated protein kinase （AMPK）/peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator-1α （PGC-1α）/silent information regulator 3 （SIRT3）45|12|0更新时间：2025-03-06

All groups， except for the sham operation group， underwent middle cerebral artery occlusion/reperfusion （MCAO/R） modeling and were treated for seven days. The neurological impairment was evaluated using the Longa score. The volume of cerebral infarction was assessed through 2，3，5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride （TTC） staining. Real-time fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR） and Western blot analyses were performed to analyze the mRNA and protein expression levels of cortical complement 3 （C3）， S100 calcium-binding protein A10 （S100A10）， Janus kinase 2 （JAK2）， and signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 （STAT3）. Additionally， protein expression levels of vascular endothelial growth factor-A （VEGF-A） were assessed， and the mRNA expression levels of inflammatory factors， including interleukin-6 （IL-6）， interleukin-1β （IL-1β）， and tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α）， were evaluated. Glial fibrillary acidic protein （GFAP） and C3， S100A10 and Co-localization was detected via immunofluorescence double staining. Lastly， VEGF expression levels were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）.ResultsCompared with the sham operation group， the model group showed a significant increase in cerebral infarction volume and neurological impairment （P<0.01）. C3 protein levels were elevated， while S100A10 levels were decreased. Pathway-related markers were significantly upregulated （P<0.05， P<0.01）， and VEGF-A protein levels were significantly reduced （P<0.01）. The mRNA expression of inflammatory factors was significantly upregulated （P<0.01）. Co-localization analysis showed significantly increased GFAP and C3 fluorescence intensity （P<0.01） and greatly decreased GFAP and S100A10 fluorescence intensity （P<0.01）. Additionally， VEGF content was significantly elevated （P<0.01）.

Of the 72 SD rats， 8 were randomly selected as the sham operation group， where the chest was opened without ligating the aortic arch. The 40 successfully modeled rats were randomly divided into the model group， the Shengxiantang low-， medium-， and high-dose groups （5.1， 10.2， 20.4 g·kg-1）， and the trimetazidine group （6.3 mg·kg-1）， with 8 rats in each group. Drug administration began 4 weeks after modeling. The administration groups received the corresponding drugs by gavage， while the sham operation and model groups were given the same amount of distilled water for 8 consecutive weeks. Echocardiography was used to assess cardiac function. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA） was used to detect the levels of nitric oxide （NO）， endothelin （ET-1）， vascular endothelial growth factor （VEGF）， and von Willebrand factor （vWF）. Ultrastructural changes of microvessels were observed by transmission electron microscopy. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression levels of ATP synthase subunit （ATP5D） and F-actin in myocardial tissue.

The experiment was conducted with a blank group， a sham operation group， a model group， low- and high-dose （3.27，6.54 g·kg-1， respectively） Shenxiong Huanglian Jiedu decoction groups， and a positive control （donepezil hydrochloride， 0.65 mg·kg-1） group. At the end of the drug intervention， the learning and memory abilities and the activities of mice were evaluated by the Morris water maze and open field tests. Brain histopathology was examined by hematoxylin-eosin and Nissl staining. Additionally， in vivo imaging was employed to measure the metabolism of fluorescent Aβ in the cerebrospinal fluid， and staining of ionized calcium-binding adapter molecule-1 （Iba-1） was employed to assess microglial activation in the hippocampal tissue. Additionally， neurotrophin-3 （NT-3） and brain-derived neurotrophic factor （BDNF） levels in the brain tissue and serum were determined by the immunofluorescence assay and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Western blot was conducted to determine the expression of inflammation and pathway-related proteins in the hippocampal tissue.ResultsCompared with the blank group and the sham operation group， the escape latency of the mice in the model group was prolonged， the platform residence time was shortened， the hippocampal tissue showed pathological manifestations such as neuronal pyknosis， Nissl body dissolution， and microglia activation. The metabolic rate of fluorescent Aβ through cerebrospinal fluid was slowed down， and the expression levels of BDNF， NT-3， and interleukin-10 （IL-10） in the hippocampus were significantly decreased （P<0.01）. The expression levels of tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α）， interleukin-6 （IL-6）， interleukin-1β （IL-1β）， Toll-like receptor 4 （TLR4）， myeloid differentiation factor 88 （MyD88） and phosphorylated nuclear transcription factor-κB （p-NF-κB p65） in hippocampus were significantly increased （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， the escape latency of mice in the low and high dose groups of Chinese medicine and donepezil group was shortened， and the platform residence time was prolonged. Neuronal karyopyknosis， Nissl body dissolution and microglia activation in hippocampus were improved. Fluorescence Aβ was metabolized faster by cerebrospinal fluid.

The expression of TNF-α in the hippocampus of the high-dose group was significantly decreased （P<0.05）， and the expression of IL-10 was significantly increased （P<0.05）. The expression of TNF-α， IL-6 and IL-1β in the hippocampus of the donepezil group was significantly decreased （P<0.05， P<0.01）.ConclusionShenxiong Huanglian Jiedu decoction may mitigate neuronal damage and enhance cerebrospinal fluid flow in the mouse model of AD， thereby promoting the clearance of Aβ and improving the learning and memory abilities. These beneficial effects are likely mediated through the inhibition of microglial activation， reduction of inflammation， and modulation of the TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB signaling pathway.关键词：Shenxiong Huanglian Jiedu decoction;Alzheimer's disease;neuronal damage;amyloid β-protein （Aβ） clearance25|41|0更新时间：2025-03-06
- “报道：通过实验优化菟丝子方配比，发现其可增强卵巢细胞活力，保护卵巢储备功能。”摘要：ObjectiveTo optimize Tusizi prescription for ovarian reserve function based on the uniform design method combined with in vitro experiments and explore the underlying mechanisms of this prescription.MethodsThe uniform design method was adopted to design a 5-factor 11-level experiment on the water extract of Tusizi prescription. The cell-counting kit-8 （CCK-8） assay was employed to measure the viability of human ovarian granulosa cells （KGN cells） treated with Tusizi prescription extracts 1-11， and multivariate regression analysis was performed to determine the optimal herb ratio in this prescription. The potential targets of active ingredients in the prescription were retrieved from traditional Chinese medicine systems pharmacology database and analysis platform （TCMSP） and encyclopedia of traditional Chinese medicine （ETCM）. The common targets shared by Tusizi prescription and diminished ovarian reserve （DOR） were selected and imported into search tool for the retrieval of interacting genes/proteins （STRING） to construct a protein-protein interaction （PPI） network and into gene function annotation database （DAVID） for gene ontology （GO） analysis. The CCK-8 assay was used to measure the viability of ovarian germline stem cells treated with hyperoside. The CCK-8 assay， 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine （EdU） staining， terminal-deoxynucleoitidyl transferase mediated nick-end labeling （TUNEL）， and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA） were employed to examine the proliferation， apoptosis， and estradiol （E2） secretion of KGN cells treated with the water extract 11 of Tusizi prescription （Cuscutae Semen-Lycii Fructus-Dioscoreae Rhizoma-Poria-Nelumbinis Semen 4∶4∶2∶1∶1） and the optimal prescription screened by uniform design. On this basis， the optimal prescription composition for maximizing the effect on ovarian reserve function was determined and preliminary insights into the underlying mechanisms of this prescription were gained.ResultsA total of 147 common targets were obtained from 278 targets of Tusizi prescription and 1 721 targets of DOR. GO analysis revealed 194 biological processes， primarily involving cellular responses to exogenous compound stimuli， negative regulation of apoptotic process， and positive regulation of cell proliferation. It identified 84 cellular components， including cell membrane， mitochondria， and neuronal cell body， as well as 144 molecular functions such as enzyme binding， estrogen response element binding， and nuclear estrogen receptor binding. The multivariate regression analysis revealed that when Tusizi prescription was composed of Cuscutae Semen， Lycii Fructus， Dioscoreae Rhizoma， Poria， and Nelumbinis Semen in a ratio of 27∶30∶17∶12∶14， the water extract of Tusizi prescription had the best effect of enhancing the viability of KGN cells. CCK-8 results showed that compared with the normal group， the hyperoside group demonstrated increased viability of ovarian germline stem cells （P<0.01）. The CCK-8， EdU， and ELISA results showed that compared with the normal group， the optimal prescription screened by uniform design and the water extract 11 of Tusizi prescription increased the proliferation and reduced the apoptosis of KGN cells （P<0.05， P<0.01）. ELISA results showed that compared with the normal group， the water extract 11 of Tusizi prescription promoted the E2 secretion of KGN cells （P<0.05）， while the optimal prescription screened by uniform design had no significant effect on the E2 secretion.ConclusionBoth the water extract 11 of Tusizi prescription （Cuscutae Semen-Lycii Fructus-Dioscoreae Rhizoma-Poria-Nelumbinis Semen 4∶4∶2∶1∶1） and the optimal prescription screened by uniform design （Cuscutae Semen-Lycii Fructus-Dioscoreae Rhizoma-Poria-Nelumbinis Semen 27∶30∶17∶12∶14） can improve the ovarian reserve function， and the former has better effect. Tusizi prescription can modulate biological processes （such as cell proliferation and apoptosis） and molecular functions （such as enzyme binding and estrogen response element binding） through active components like hyperoside to promote the proliferation and E2 secretion and inhibit the apoptosis of KGN cells， thereby protecting the ovarian reserve function.关键词：Tusizi prescription;ovarian reserve function;uniform design;ovarian granulosa cells;ovarian germline stem cells21|33|0更新时间：2025-03-06
- “最新研究发现，滋肾通关方能有效缓解慢性非细菌性前列腺炎大鼠炎症症状，降低有害菌水平，提升有益菌水平，并下调血清炎症因子表达，其中肉桂成分可能发挥关键作用。”摘要：ObjectiveBased on the theory of "gut-prostate" axis， this study explored the effects and mechanisms of Zishen Tongguan formula and Cinnamomi Cortex in the formula in treating rats with chronic non-bacterial prostatitis（CNP） by detecting the levels of inflammatory factors， and the composition and structure of intestinal flora in CNP rats.MethodsEight out of 42 SD rats were randomly selected as the normal group， and the remaining rats were injected with carrageenan to prepare the CNP model. After successful modeling， 32 rats were randomly divided into the model group， Ningmitai capsule group（0.50 g·kg-1）， Zishen Tongguan formula group（2.00 g·kg-1）， and the Phellodendri Chinensis Cortex-Anemarrhenae Rhizoma pair group（PCC-AR group， 2.00 g·kg-1）， with 8 rats in each group. The administered groups were given the corresponding medicinal solution by gavage， and the normal and model groups were intragastrically administered with an equal volume of normal saline， once a day for 14 consecutive days. The prostate tissues of rats were collected and subjected to hematoxylin-eosin（HE） staining and Masson staining to observe the pathological changes of the tissues in each group. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay（ELISA） was used to detect the levels of related inflammatory factors in rat serum， and 16S rDNA sequencing was used to analyze the abundance and diversity changes of gut microbiota before and after administration， and species difference analysis was performed.ResultsAll the administered groups could alleviate the inflammatory symptoms of CNP rats， increase the expression levels of anti-inflammatory factors and decrease the expression levels of pro-inflammatory factors， with the most sIgnificant effect observed in the Zishen Tongguan formula group. Compared with the normal group， the expression levels of interleukin（IL）-8， hypersensitive C-reactive protein（hs-CRP）， immunoglobulin（Ig）M， secretory IgA （sIgA）， and inducible nitric oxide synthase（iNOS） were sIgnificantly increased in the model group（P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， the expression levels of the above inflammatory factors in all administered groups were significantly reduced（P<0.01）. When compared with the PCC-AR group， the Zishen Tongguan formula group showed a significant decrease in transforming growth factor（TGF）-β1 expression level（P<0.05） and a significant increase in IgM expression level（P<0.01）. The results of gut microbiota analysis showed that， compared with the PCC-AR group， at the order level， the Zishen Tongguan formula group significantly reduced the relative abundance of conditional pathogens such as Bacteroidales， Acidaminococcales， Rhodospirillales， Clostridiales， and Elusimicrobiales（P<0.01）. And at the genus level， the Zishen Tongguan formula group significantly decreased the relative abundance of pathogenic microbiota such as Lachnospira and Bacteroides（P<0.01） and significantly increased the relative abundances of beneficial microbiota such as Ruminococcus and Lactobacillus（P<0.01）.ConclusionZishen Tongguan formula can reduce the level of harmful intestinal bacteria， increase the level of beneficial intestinal bacteria， down-regulate the expression of serum inflammatory factors， and the small amount of Cinnamomi Cortex in the formula may play a key role in the treatment of CNP with this formula.关键词：chronic non-bacterial prostatitis;gut microbiota;inflammatory factors;Zishen Tongguan formula;"gut-prostate" axis;16S rDNA sequencing20|36|0更新时间：2025-03-06

High-dose Zishen Tiaogan prescription demonstrated the best effect and the mechanism is associated with the regulation of the Keap1/Nrf2/HO-1 pathway.关键词：Zishen Tiaogan prescription;diminished ovarian reserve;oxidative stress;Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 （Keap1）/nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 （Nrf2）/heme oxygenase-1 （HO-1） signaling pathway29|33|0更新时间：2025-03-06
- “最新研究发现，加味少腹逐瘀汤能通过抑制VEGF/PI3K/Akt/eNOS-NO信号通路，减少子宫内膜异位症血管生成，有望成为治疗新选择。”摘要：ObjectiveTo explore the mechanism by which modified Shaofu Zhuyutang inhibits angiogenesis in endometriosis via the vascular endothelial growth factor （VEGF）/phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase （PI3K）/protein kinase B （Akt）/endothelial nitric oxide synthase （eNOS）-nitric oxide （NO） signaling pathway.MethodsEighty-four female SD rats were randomly assigned into blank， sham operation， model， positive control （gestrinone， 0.25 mg·kg-1）， high-， medium-， and low-dose （30， 15， 7.5 g·kg-1， respectively） traditional Chinese medicine （TCM， modified Shaofu Zhuyutang） groups. A rat model of endometriosis was established by the autotransplantation method. After successful modeling， rats in the drug intervention groups were administrated with corresponding agents by gavage， and those in the blank， sham operation， and model groups received an equal volume of distilled water. After 28 days of gavage， rats were administrated with oxytocin， and the number and latency period of writhing responses were observed. Serum samples from each group， ectopic lesions from modeling groups， and uteri from blank and sham operation groups were collected. Hematoxylin-eosin staining was used to observe the pathological morphology of endometriotic lesions. Immunohistochemistry was employed to observe the expression of angiogenesis-specific markers cluster of differentiation 34 antigen （CD34） and friend leukemia virus integration-1 （FLI-1）. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and the nitrate reductase method were employed to determine the serum levels of VEGF and NO， respectively. Western blot was employed to measure the protein levels of VEGF， PI3K， phosphorylated PI3K （p-PI3K）， Akt， phosphorylated Akt （p-Akt）， eNOS， and phosphorylated eNOS （p-eNOS）. Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR） was conducted to determine the mRNA levels of VEGF， PI3K， Akt， and eNOS.ResultsThe blank group and the sham operation group had no significant changes in the number and latency period of writhing responses， serum VEGF and NO levels， protein levels of VEGF， p-PI3K/PI3K， p-Akt/Akt， and p-eNOS/eNOS， and mRNA levels of VEGF， PI3K， Akt， and eNOS. The model group showed an increase in the number and a reduction in the latency period of writhing responses， enlargement of ectopic endometrial tissue in the abdominal wall， with stromal hyperplasia， glandular dilation， and increased vasculature.

Compared with the model group， the gestrinone and high-， medium-， and low-dose TCM groups showed a significant reduction in the number of writhing responses， a significant prolongation of the latency period， reduced ectopic endometrial tissue in the abdominal wall， alleviated pathological damage， and reduced positive expression of CD34 and FLI-1. The gestrinone group and the high- and medium-dose TCM groups showed lowered serum VEGF and NO levels as well as down-regulated protein levels of VEGF， p-PI3K/PI3K， p-Akt/Akt， and p-eNOS/eNOS and mRNA levels of VEGF， PI3K， Akt， and eNOS. Moreover， the low-dose TCM group showed reductions in the serum VEGF level， the protein levels of VEGF， p-PI3K/PI3K， p-Akt/Akt， and p-eNOS/eNOS， and the mRNA levels of VEGF and eNOS （P<0.05， P<0.01）.ConclusionModified SShaofu Zhuyutang can inhibit angiogenesis in endometriosis by antagonizing the abnormal activation of the VEGF/PI3K/Akt/eNOS-NO signaling pathway， thereby preventing the occurrence， development， and deterioration of endometriosis.关键词：modified Shaofu Zhuyutang;endometriosis;angiogenesis;vascular endothelial growth factor （VEGF）/phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase （PI3K）/protein kinase B （Akt）/endothelial nitric oxide synthase （eNOS）;nitric oxide （NO）23|31|0更新时间：2025-03-06

The clonogenic ability of 4T1 cells was detected by the plate cloning assay， and the levels of lactate dehydrogenase （LDH） in 4T1 cells were detected by the use of a kit. The mitochondrial membrane potential and reactive oxygen species （ROS） levels in 4T1 cells were detected by flow cytometry， and the mitochondrial ultrastructure of 4T1 cells was observed by transmission electron microscopy. The western blot was used to detect the expression of ferroptosis-related protein p53 in 4T1 cells， solute carrier family 7 member 11 （SCL7A11）， glutathione peroxidase 4 （GPX4）， long-chain acyl-CoA synthetase 4 （ACSL4）， transferrin receptor protein 1 （TFR1）， and ferritin heavy chain 1 （FTH1）.ResultsCompared with that in the blank group， the survival rate of 4T1 cells in CuB groups was significantly decreased （P<0.05）， and the number of cell clones in CuB groups was significantly reduced （P<0.01）. In addition， compared with that in the blank group， the leakage of LDH in cells in CuB groups was significantly increased （P<0.01）， and the mitochondrial membrane potential of cells in CuB groups decreased significantly （P<0.01）. Cellular ROS levels were significantly elevated in CuB groups （P<0.01）. The mitochondria of cells in CuB groups were obviously wrinkled， and the mitochondrial cristae were reduced or even disappeared. Compared with that in the blank group， the protein expression of p53， ACSL4， and TFR1 were significantly up-regulated in CuB groups （P<0.05）， and that of SLC7A11， GPX4， and FTH1 were significantly down-regulated （P<0.05）.ConclusionCuB may inhibit SLC7A11 and GPX4 expression by up-regulating the expression of p53， which in turn regulates the p53/SLC7A11/GPX4 signaling pathway axis and accelerates the generation of lipid peroxidation substrate by up-regulating the expression of ACSL4. It up-regulates TFR1 expression to promote cellular uptake of Fe3+ and down-regulates the expression of FTH1 to reduce the ability of iron storage， resulting in an elevated free Fe2+ level. It catalyzes the Fenton reaction， generates excess ROS， imbalances the antioxidant system and iron metabolism， and then induces ferroptosis in 4T1 cells.关键词：breast cancer;cucurbitacin B;ferroptosis;mechanism;p5321|9|0更新时间：2025-03-06

The expression of nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 （Nrf2）， solute carrier family 7 member 11 （SLC7A11）， and glutathione peroxidase 4 （GPX4） proteins was analyzed by Western blot. The BPL rat model was constructed using 2，2′-bis（hydroxymethyl）butyric acid （DMBA） combined with estrogen and progesterone， and the rats were treated with RUC for external application. After the 12th cycle， the rats were euthanized， and histopathological changes in breast tissue were observed by hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining. Fe2+ and MDA levels in breast tissue were measured using corresponding kits. The expression of Nrf2， SLC7A11， and GPX4 proteins in BPL rat breast tissue was detected by immunohistochemistry （IHC） and Western blot.ResultsCompared with the matrix group， the cell viability of MCF-10AT cells in the 1%， 2%， and 4% RUT groups was significantly reduced （P<0.05） in a concentration-dependent manner， with the 24-hour half inhibitory concentration （IC50） being 2.23%. Compared with the 4% RUT group， cell viability in the RUT + Fer-1 group was significantly increased （P<0.05）. Compared with the matrix group， the colony formation rates of MCF-10AT cells in the 1%， 2%， and 4% RUT groups were significantly decreased （P<0.05）. Compared with the 4% RUT group， the cell colony formation rate of the RUT + Fer-1 group was significantly increased （P<0.05）.

Compared with the matrix group， the protein expression levels of Nrf2， SLC7A11， and GPX4 in the 1%， 2%， and 4% RUT groups were significantly decreased （P<0.05）. Compared with the 4% RUT group， the protein expression levels of Nrf2， SLC7A11， and GPX4 in the RUT + Fer-1 group were significantly increased （P<0.05）. In the in vivo experiment， compared with the matrix group， the breast tissue histopathological status of the BPL rats in the RUC group was effectively improved， with less dilatation of the mammary ducts and more orderly duct arrangement. No pathological morphology indicative of invasive cancer was observed. Compared with the matrix group， Fe2+ and MDA levels in the mammary tissue of the RUC group were significantly increased （P<0.05）. Compared with the matrix group， the protein expression levels of Nrf2， SLC7A11， and GPX4 in the mammary tissue of the RUC group were significantly reduced （P<0.05）.ConclusionRUC may induce ferroptosis in BPL cells by inhibiting the Nrf2/SLC7A11/GPX4 signaling pathway， increasing Fe2+ accumulation， and promoting lipid peroxidation.关键词：breast precancerous lesion;Ruyan Neixiao cream;ferroptosis;lipid peroxidation;nuclear factor E2-related factor 2（Nrf2）20|40|0更新时间：2025-03-06
- “最新研究发现，麻杏苦甘汤能有效减轻油酸诱导的急性肺损伤，降低炎症反应和细胞凋亡，可能通过调节p38 MAPK/NF-κB信号通路发挥作用。”摘要：ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of Maxing Kugan decoction （MKD） on inflammatory response and apoptosis in rats with oleic acid （OA）-induced acute lung injury （ALI） and explore its mechanism of action.MethodsSixty Sprague-Dawley （SD） rats were randomly assigned into six groups： a control group， a model group， a dexamethasone-treated group （2 mg·kg-1）， and three MKD-treated groups at low， medium， and high doses （3.1， 6.2，12.4 g·kg-1）. Each group was administered either an equivalent volume of normal saline or the corresponding concentration of MKD by gavage for seven consecutive days. The model group and each administration group were used to establish the ALI model by tail vein injection of OA （0.2 mL·kg-1）. Twelve hours after modeling， blood gas analyses were conducted， and the wet-to-dry （W/D） weight ratio of lung tissue was measured for each group. Additionally， enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA） was employed to quantify the levels of tumor necrosis factor-alpha （TNF-α）， interleukin-1β （IL-1β）， and interleukin-6 （IL-6） in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid （BALF） of the rats. Cell damage and apoptosis in lung tissue were examined via hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining and TdT-mediated dUTP-biotin nick end labeling （TUNEL） assays， and the results were subsequently scored. The expression levels of the p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase （p38 MAPK）/nuclear factor kappa-B （NF-κB） signaling pathway and apoptosis-related proteins and mRNAs were assessed using Western blot and real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR）.ResultsCompared with the control group， the model group exhibited a significant decrease in partial pressure of oxygen （PaO2）， blood oxygen saturation （SaO2）， and oxygenation index （PaO2/FiO2）， along with a marked increase in partial pressure of carbon dioxide （PaCO2） and lung W/D ratio （P<0.01）. Additionally， levels of TNF-α， IL-6， and IL-1β in BALF were significantly elevated （P<0.01）. Histopathological analysis of lung tissue showed significant inflammatory infiltration， tissue edema， alveolar septal thickening， and apoptosis of lung tissue. Pronounced increases were observed in the mRNA expression levels of p38 MAPK， NF-κB p65， inhibitor of NF-κB （IκBα）， B-cell lymphoma-2 associated x protein （Bax）， and Caspases-3， as well as the protein expression levels of p-p38 MAPK， p-NF-κB p65， p-IκBα， Bax， Caspases-3， and cleaved Caspases-3， while the mRNA and protein expression of Bcl-2 was downregulated （P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， MKD significantly elevated PaO2， SaO2， and PaO2/FiO2 while reducing PaCO2 and W/D ratio in rats （P<0.01）. It also greatly reduced TNF-α， IL-6， and IL-1β levels in BALF （P<0.01） and alleviated inflammatory infiltration， tissue edema， alveolar septal thickening， and apoptosis of lung tissue. Additionally， it downregulated the mRNA expression of p38 MAPK， NF-κB p65， IκBα， Bax， Caspases-3， as well as protein expression of p-p38 MAPK， p-NF-κB p65， p-IκBα， Bax， Caspases-3， and cleaved Caspases-3 in lung tissue （P<0.05， P<0.01）， while significantly upregulating mRNA and protein expression of Bcl-2 （P<0.01）.ConclusionMKD exerts a protective effect on OA-induced ALI rats， potentially through the regulation of the p38 MAPK/NF-κB signaling pathway to inhibit inflammation and apoptosis.关键词：Maxing Kugan decoction;p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase （p38 MAPK）/nuclear factor kappa-B （NF-κB） signaling pathway;oleic acid;acute lung injury21|29|0更新时间：2025-03-06

The observation group received oral administration of Guilu Tianjing capsules， while the control group received oral administration of L-carnitine oral solution. The treatment course lasted for 4 weeks in both groups. The observed indicators included sperm progressive motility rate （PR）， total sperm motility （PR+NP）， percentage of normal mitochondrial membrane potential （MMP）， and traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） symptom scores before and after treatment in both groups. A three-month follow-up was instituted to record the conception status of the patients’ spouses. Additionally， eight patients were randomly selected from the eligible patients in the observation group， and four healthy males with normal semen routine examination results were included as the control group for the determination of protein expression. Western blotting was conducted to assess the expression of AMPK， phosphorylated （p）-AMPK， regulatory-associated protein of mTOR （RAPTOR） and p-RAPTOR， and PTEN-induced putative kinase 1 （PINK1） in sperms from the observation group before and after treatment， as well as in the sperms of the control group.ResultsThe pregnancy rate of spouses in the observation group was 9.09% （3/33）， which was higher than that （3.33%， 1/30） in the control group. The total response rate was 84.8% （28/33） in the observation group and 66.7% （20/30） in the control group， with no statistically significant difference. After treatment， both groups were improved considering PR， PR+NP， MMP， and TCM symptom scores （P<0.01）. Moreover， the observation group exhibited more pronounced decreases in TCM symptom scores than the control group （P<0.05）， while the changes in PR， PR+NP， and MMP showed no statistical significance between groups. Compared with the control group， the asthenozoospermia group exhibited upregulations in phosphorylation levels of AMPK and RAPTOR and protein level of PINK （P<0.01）. The administration of Guilu Tianjing Capsules led to downregulations in the phosphorylation levels of AMPK and RAPTOR and protein level of PINK1 （P<0.01）. However， the protein levels of AMPK and RAPTOR demonstrated no significant difference between before and after treatment. During the study period， neither group of patients exhibited any notable adverse reactions.ConclusionGuilu Tianjing capsules can enhance the sperm motility and percentage of normal mitochondrial membrane potential in asthenozoospermia patients with the syndrome of kidney essence deficiency by downregulating the AMPK/mTORC1 signaling pathway， lowering the protein level of PINK1， and inhibiting excessive activation of mitophagy.关键词：Guilu Tianjing capsules;syndrome of kidney essence deficiency;asthenozoospermia;adenosine 5′-monophosphate-activated protein kinase （AMPK）/mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 （mTORC1） signaling pathway;mitochondrial membrane potential25|11|0更新时间：2025-03-06

The surface scanning of Ca， Mn and Fe elements in the microregions of TPD samples was analyzed by X-ray energy spectrum surface scanning method（EDS）. Cathodoluminescence method（CL） was used to analyze the luminescence properties of the thin slices of calcitum samples. The content and distribution uniformity of Mn， Fe and rare earth elements in the in situ microregions of LNG-1， TPD， GL and BD samples， and the δ18O and the distribution uniformity in the in situ microregions of the thin slices of LNG-2， ZMD， GT and MS samples were analyzed by laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry（LA-ICP-MS）.ResultsThe composition of elements and oxygen isotopes of calcitum from different origins were different. EDS analysis results showed that the Fe and Mn elements in calcitum had obvious girdle structure. The results of CL and LA-ICP-MS analysis showed that the cathode light in different regions of calcitum was red and varied in brightness， and the contents of Mn， Fe and rare earth elements were important factors affecting the brightness of the cathode light of calcitum. Regions with high content of Fe and low content of Mn had darker cathode light color， while regions with low content of Fe and high content of Mn had brighter cathode light color. When the total content of rare earth elements was>10 μg·g-1， the brightness of the cathode light would be affected， and the higher the total content of the region， the brighter the cathode light color would be. Among the samples from different origins， the calcitum tested in MS area had the largest δ18O heterogeneity， and the δ18O difference ring band with micron level was formed. Meanwhile， the δ18O content was lower in the region with darker cathode light， on the contrary， the content was higher.ConclusionThe composition of Fe， Mn， rare earth elements and δ18O of calcitum is uneven and has obvious chemical compositional ring bands， among which the calcitum in Lannigou area has good quality because of its relatively uniform chemical composition and high content of Fe and Mn elements. This study can provide experimental basis for the formulation of quality standard of calcitum.关键词：Calcitum;trace elements;rare earth elements;isotopes;ore-forming fluid;Chinese herbal medicine;quality uniformity21|38|0更新时间：2025-03-06

- “据最新研究，大秦艽汤在治疗中风等疾病方面具有显著疗效，为经典名方研发提供文献证据。”摘要：Da Qinjiaotang is the 54th formula of the 100 formulas in the Catalogue of Ancient Classical Formulas （the first batch） ，and it originated from the Collection of Writings on the Mechanism of Disease， Suitability of Qi， and Safeguarding of Life Discussed in Plain Questions. Da Qinjiaotang is composed of Gentiana macrophylla， Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma， Ligusticum chuanxiong， Angelica sinensis， Paeonia lactiflora， Asari Radix et Rhizoma， Notopterygium incisum， Saposhnikoviae Radix， Scutellariae Radix， Gypsum， Angelica dahurica， Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma， Rehmanniae Radix， Rehmanniae Radix Praeparata， Poria， and Angelicae Pubescentis Radix. It is a classical formula for treating strokes. Da Qinjiaotang is widely used in modern clinical practices for treating ischemic stroke， peripheral facial paralysis， cervical spondylosis， rheumatic arthritis， neurodermatitis， and other multisystem diseases. Therefore， following the Principles of Textual Research on the Key Information of Ancient Classical Famous Formulas， the authors collected the ancient Chinese medical literature of Da Qinjiaotang by the method of bibliometrics and screened out 177 valid data， involving 100 ancient books of traditional Chinese medicine. Based on the historical evolution， composition， dosage， method of preparation， and preparation of the original medicinal materials of Da Qinjiaotang， a systematic study was carried out. It was found that among the 175 records of the main diseases and syndromes， stroke （144） was the most， accounting for 82.29% of the total diseases and syndromes. Later generations mostly followed the practice of LIU Wansu in using Da Qinjiaotang to treat stroke caused by "weak blood and inability to nourish tendon"， featuring "hands and feet cannot move， stiff tongue hinders speaking"， as well as other symptoms， such as slant of the mouth， hemiplegia， numbness of the limbs， paroxysmal pain， and acerbic syncope. The treatment scope was expanded， covering tendon dryness， clonic convulsion， spasm syndrome， and arthralgia syndrome. At the same time， it was found that there was a controversy between "internal wind" and "external wind" in the treatment of stroke by Da Qinjiaotang. LIU Wansu thought that stroke was caused by internal factors， created the theory of "hot stroke"， and used Da Qinjiaotang to treat "internal wind". Many doctors in later generations focused on treating the "external wind" of "internal deficiency and evil". There were 76 valid data on the composition of drugs， 59 of which had doses for each drug. It was suggested to use the modern conversion dosage of the original formula， with 41.30 g per dose. The drug should be boiled in 600 mL water until 300 mL， decocted once， and taken in a warm state after removing the dregs anytime. Through the analysis and study of the ancient books about Da Qinjiaotang， the paper clarified its historical evolution and confirmed its key information， so as to provide the ancient literature evidence for the research and development of the classical famous formula Daqinjiaotan and its better clinical application.关键词：classical famous formulas;Da Qinjiaotang;historical evolution;key information;textual research on literature29|10|0更新时间：2025-03-06
- “最新研究发现，细胞程序性死亡对肿瘤免疫稳态具有双向调节作用，为中医药防治肿瘤提供新理论支持。”摘要：Tumor immune homeostasis is a dynamic equilibrium state in which the body removes abnormal mutated cells in time to prevent tumor development without damaging other normal cells under the surveillance of the immune system. It is an important concept to understand the process of tumor development. Programmed cell death （PCD） is a kind of regulable cell death including various forms such as apoptosis， autophagy， pyroptosis， necrosis， and ferroptosis. It is regarded as an important way for the body to remove abnormal or mutated cells. In recent years， modern research has found that PCD has a bi-directional regulatory effect on carcinogenesis and tumor development. In the early stage of tumor formation， PCD can control tumor development in time by playing a specific immune clearance role， while in the later tumorigenic stage， PCD can promote the growth and development of tumor cells by forming a tumor-specific microenvironment， resulting in carcinogenic effects. Therefore， PCD is regarded as an important way to maintain tumor immune homeostasis. Based on the idea of ''supporting the vital Qi and cultivating the root'' by professors Yu Guiqing and Piao Bingkui， the team proposed the theory of ''regulating Qi and resolving toxins'' and applied it to clinical tumor prevention and treatment. Based on the theory of ''regulating Qi and resolving toxins''， the research summarized the current progress of modern medical research on mechanisms related to PCD to explore the role of PCD in the regulation of tumor immune homeostasis. The article believed that the harmonious state of Qi movement was the basic condition for normal PCD to maintain tumor immune homeostasis， while the disorder of Qi movement and the evolution of tumor toxicity were the core processes of abnormal PCD and disorder of tumor immunity homeostasis， which led to the escape and development of tumor cells. Therefore， under the guidance of ''regulating Qi and removing toxins''， the idea of full-cycle prevention and treatment of tumors was proposed summarily. In the early stage of tumor formation， the method of ''regulating Qi movement and strengthening vital Qi'' was applied to reestablish tumor immune homeostasis and to promote the elimination of abnormal cells. In the late tumorigenic stage， the method of ''resolving toxins and dispelling evils'' was applied to reverse the specific microenvironment of tumors and inhibit the development of tumor cells， with a view to providing new theoretical support for the prevention and treatment of tumors through traditional Chinese medicine.关键词：regulating Qi and resolving toxins;programmed cell death;tumor immunity;homeostasis regulation;traditional Chinese medicine21|12|0更新时间：2025-03-06
- “据最新研究，中医药通过保护肺微血管内皮细胞治疗慢性阻塞性肺疾病，为临床治疗提供新见解。”摘要：Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease （COPD） is a common disease with a high incidence and mortality rate in the world. It is characterized by chronic inflammation and structural obstruction and is not completely reversible which will lead to shortness of breath caused by air retention and physical exertion. Traditional Chinese medicine proposes the concept of "lung collaterals"， which refers to the collateral vessels scattered throughout the lungs and lung system. The lung collaterals include the pulse collaterals and Qi collaterals. The blood circulation in the pulse collaterals belongs to Yin， distributed internally along the way. The Qi circulation in the Qi collateral belongs to Yang and is distributed externally. In western medicine， the pulse collaterals have an identity with large， medium， and small blood vessels， microvessels， and especially microcirculation. The Qi collateral encompasses systems such as the nervous， endocrine， and immune system. Pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells （HPMECs） are an important component of the pulmonary microvascular endothelium. Recent studies have found that HPMECs are the main damaged cells in the pathogenesis of COPD， mediating the occurrence and development of COPD. Traditional Chinese medicine can regulate HPMECs to treat COPD through multiple components， targets， and pathways， and has the advantage of reducing western medicine resistance and many side effects. Based on the "lung collateral theory"， this paper focused on HPMECs， and elaborated on the new connotation of traditional Chinese medicine in protecting HPMECs to treat COPD， aiming to provide new insights for the clinical treatment of COPD by protecting HPMECs.关键词：chronic obstructive pulmonary disease;lung collateral theory;traditional Chinese medicine;pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells26|11|0更新时间：2025-03-06
- “在糖尿病合并高血压研究领域，专家总结了中西医临床病症特点，提出了建立理想的病证结合动物模型，为糖尿病合并高血压治疗提供新思路，有望推动中医科学研究发展。”摘要：Type 2 diabetes mellitus （T2DM） and hypertension are common and frequent chronic non-communicable diseases， which often coexist in clinical practice， resulting in a large number of cardiovascular events and deaths， and their case fatality rate far exceeds that of other factors such as dyslipidemia and obesity. Based on the diagnostic standards， guidelines， and animal model evaluation methods of T2DM with hypertension at home and abroad， this study summarized， evaluated， and analyzed the characteristics of the existing animal models of T2DM with hypertension based on the clinical symptoms in traditional Chinese and Western medicine. The animal models showing high fitting degrees with the clinical symptoms in Western medicine are mainly established by injection of streptozocin （STZ） in SHR rats in the surgical induction and chemical induction methods and feeding a high-fat and high-salt diet combined with STZ injection in SD rats in the dietary induction methods. The models showcasing high fitting degrees with the clinical symptoms in traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） are mainly established by the surgical induction method. Considering the fitting degrees and the advantages and disadvantages， the ideal modeling method for T2DM with hypertension is the two-kidney， one clip （2K1C） method （a surgical induction method） combined with feeding a high-fat and high-sugar diet and STZ injection. However， the available models lack the characteristics of TCM and the evaluation indicators have poor specificity. This study found that there are few animal models of T2DM with hypertension considering the characteristics of both disease and syndrome， which may be related to the identification and attribution of TCM syndromes in animal macroscopic information. In view of this problem， it is suggested that the evaluation criteria should be established and improved for the animal models combining disease and syndrome， which can help to evaluate the fitting degree of the pathological characteristics of different syndromes in the animal models of T2DM with hypertension. In this way， ideal animal models of T2DM with hypertension can be established to simulate the disease occurrence and development in the human body. The animal models are expected to provide an ideal approach for the further research on the pathogenesis of T2DM and its prevention and treatment with TCM， which is of great significance for the treatment and prevention of T2DM with hypertension and the prognosis of its complications. At the same time， breakthroughs in the basic syndrome models of comorbidities are expected to lay a foundation for the leapfrog development of TCM research.关键词：comorbidity;type 2 diabetes mellitus;hypertension;animal models;traditional Chinese and Western medicine22|8|0更新时间：2025-03-06
- “据最新报道，国医大师任继学教授基于“喉肾相关”理论，提出补肾健脾、解毒利咽法治疗免疫球蛋白A肾病，为中医药防治IgAN提供科学依据。”摘要：Immunoglobulin A nephropathy （IgAN） is the primary glomerulonephritis with the highest incidence rate in the world. It is also the main cause of end-stage renal disease （ESRD） in China， which has brought heavy economic burden to the society and patient families. Traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） has certain advantages in treating IgAN. In TCM， IgAN is classified into consumptive disease， hematuria， and edema categories， with the location in the kidney and involving the lung， liver， and spleen. Professor Ren Jixue， a master of TCM， believes that kidney deficiency and spleen deficiency are the root causes of IgAN， and the throat is the source of the disease. He proposed the theory of throat-kidney correlation and used the method of tonifying kidney and invigorating spleen as well as detoxifying and relieving sore-throat to treat IgAN， achieving significant therapeutic effects. Studies have shown that IgAN is closely related to mucosal immune defense. IgAN patients often experience recurrent and gradually worsening symptoms due to mucosal infections， and polymeric Ig receptor （PIgR） is an important component of mucosal defense function. The lack of PIgR leads to the accumulation of IgA molecules in the mucosal lamina propria， and the molecules enter the bloodstream in large quantities and ultimately deposit in the kidneys， causing kidney damage. Complement regulatory protein complement receptor type 1 （CR1） exists on red blood cells and glomeruli and has the function of inhibiting the activation and differentiation of B cells， clearing immune complexes， and inhibiting excessive activation of the complement system. Therefore， regulating the immune defense function through the mucosal-renal axis mediated by PIgR-CR1 will be an important target for preventing and treating IgAN. Based on the theory of throat-kidney correlation， this article explores the effects and molecular mechanisms of tonifying kidney and invigorating spleen as well as detoxifying and relieving sore-throat in preventing and treating IgAN by regulating the mucosal-kidney axis mediated by PIgR-CR1. It provides effective theoretical support and a scientific basis for TCM prevention and treatment of IgAN based on the theory of throat-kidney correlation.关键词：IgA nephropathy;mucosal-renal axis;polymeric Ig receptor;complement receptor type 1 （CR1）;tonifying kidney and invigorating spleen;detoxifying and relieving sore-throat14|31|0更新时间：2025-03-06
- “最新研究系统梳理中医药干预溃疡性结肠炎的临床试验，分析研究特征和结局指标，为中医药治疗提供证据支持。”摘要：To systematically review randomized controlled trials （RCTs） of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） intervention in ulcerative colitis （UC）， and analyze the characteristics of these studies and their outcome indicators， thereby providing references for the design of future RCTs of TCM intervention in UC and offering evidence supporting the clinical application of TCM in UC. A computerized search was conducted in the China National Knowledge Infrastructure （CNKI）， Wanfang Data， VIP， SinoMed， PubMed， Cochrane Library， EMbase， and Web of Science databases for RCTs of TCM intervention in UC published from January 2021 to August 2024. The risk of bias was assessed， and outcome indicators were qualitatively analyzed. A total of 555 RCTs were included， with a sample size of 44 853 participants. The largest sample size was 218 cases， and the smallest was 28 cases， with most studies focusing on 60-100 participants. Of the 386 RCTs that explicitly reported TCM syndrome types， the top three were large intestine dampness-heat syndrome （31.05%）， spleen and kidney yang deficiency syndrome （12.47%）， and spleen deficiency with dampness syndrome （9.17%）. The interventions， ranked by frequency of use， included internal Chinese medicine compounds/preparations （64.5%）， Chinese medicine compounds/preparations with retained enema （18.2%）， internal Chinese medicine compounds/preparations + external TCM treatment （5.95%）， and external TCM treatment alone （4.86%）. The treatment duration was mainly 4-8 weeks （64.86%）， with 61 studies （10.99%） reporting follow-up time. A total of 157 outcome indicators were used， with a frequency of 3 460 occurrences， classified into six domains： TCM syndromes and symptoms （346 occurrences， 10%）， symptoms/signs （541 occurrences， 15.64%）， physical and chemical examinations （2 119 occurrences， 61.24%）， quality of life （107 occurrences， 3.09%）， long-term prognosis （61 occurrences， 1.76%）， and safety events （284 occurrences， 8.21%）. The analysis reveals several limitations in the outcome indicators of TCM intervention in UC， including the lack of a basis for sample size calculation， non-standardized TCM syndrome classification， absence of trial design and registration， inadequate blinding and allocation concealment， adherence issues with interventions， imbalanced selection of surrogate and endpoint indicators， inconsistency in the timing of outcome measurements， design issues that require standardization， and ethical and safety concerns. It is recommended that future studies actively construct a set of core indicators for UC that include standardized TCM syndrome classification， clear efficacy evaluation indicators， key endpoint indicators， and reasonable measurement time points. Long-term prognostic impacts， comprehensive assessments of patients' quality of life， and consideration of economic benefits should be emphasized， providing a basis for the clinical practice of TCM in the treatment of UC.关键词：ulcerative colitis;traditional Chinese medicine;randomized controlled trials;outcome indicators;core indicators;research status21|9|0更新时间：2025-03-06
- “据最新研究，冬葵子药材的名称、基原、学名考订沿革、产地、品质、采收加工与炮制、性味归经与功能主治等方面进行了系统梳理与考证，为经典名方开发提供依据。”摘要：The medicinal use of Malvae Semen has a long history. In this paper， by consulting the ancient materia medica， prescription， agronomy， literature and other aspects of the classics， the name， origin， evolution of scientific name， quality， harvesting and processing， functions and indications and others of Malvae Semen were systematically sorted out and verified， so as to provide a basis for the development and utilization of famous classical formulas containing this herb. According to the textual research， Shennong Bencaojing began to use Dongkuizi as the correct name， which was used in the past dynasties， and there were also aliases such as Kuicaizi， Huacai， and Kuizi. Through the original research， it can be seen that Kuicai is the mainstream original plant of Malvae Semen， that is， Malva verticillata var. crispa， the Alcea rosea and M. cathayensis are also used. In modern times， the seeds of Abutilon theophrasti have been passed off as Malvae Semen， while the seeds of M. verticillata var. crispa have rarely been used in medicine. And Abutili Semen has been another medicinal material with different efficacy since the collection of Newly Revised Materia Medica in the Tang dynasty. Since the Ming and Qing dynasties， the cultivation of Kuicai has been decreasing， while A. theophrasti is more common and easy to obtain， and Abutili Semen and Malvae Semen are similar in morphology and confused， which should be corrected. In addition， Malvae Fructus is a Mongolian customary medicinal herb， which is different from the traditional use of seeds in traditional Chinese medicine. Kuicai， as an important vegetable in history， was widely cultivated and gradually shrunk after the Song dynasty， it is now mainly produced in southern provinces. The quality evaluation of Malvae Semen is better for those with dry bodies， full grain， grayish brown color， no mud， and no impurities. The harvesting is generally in the autumn and winter. After drying， it is seeded， sieved peel and impurities， mashed， or slightly stir-fried to yellow-white color with gentle fire. It is sweet， cold and slippery in nature and taste， with the main effects of laxation， diuresis， lactation and elimination of swelling. The efficacy of Abutili Semen is clearing heat and removing toxicity， promoting diuresis and removing nebula， the efficacy is quite different from that of Malvae Semen. Based on the results of textual research， it is suggested that M. verticillata var. crispa should be used as the medicinal source of Malvae Semen in the development of famous classical formulas， the corresponding processing methods should be selected according to the requirements of drug processing in the formulas， while the raw products are recommended to be used if the processing is not specified.关键词：famous classical formulas;Malvae Semen;Abutili Semen;origin;producing area and quality;harvesting and processing;herbal textual research23|7|0更新时间：2025-03-06
- “据最新研究报道，中药通过PI3K/Akt信号通路促进缺血性脑卒中后血管新生，为临床治疗提供理论依据。”摘要：Ischemic stroke is a common cerebrovascular disease， characterized by hypoxia and nutritional deficiency in local brain tissue due to insufficient blood supply. Angiogenesis， the formation of new vascular networks on the basis of existing blood vessels， is of great significance for increasing blood flow in the ischemic area of brain tissue， restoring blood and oxygen supply， and improving disease prognosis. This complex process is regulated by various factors， including cytokines， growth factors， and signaling pathways. Among these， the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase （PI3K）/protein kinase B （Akt） signaling pathway is considered a key regulatory pathway. It not only plays an important role in anti-apoptosis and promoting cell survival， but also regulates cell growth， differentiation， migration， and survival， while deeply participating in the regulation of angiogenesis. Chinese medicine offers unique advantages with its multi-component， multi-target， and multi-pathway approach in the treatment of stroke， showing significant potential in treating ischemic stroke. In recent years， it has been found that Chinese medicine can promote angiogenesis after ischemic stroke through the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. This paper focuses on the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway as the research entry point， and explores in-depth the mechanisms by which Chinese medicine monomers， active components， extracts， derivatives， drug pairs， and Chinese medicine compounds promote angiogenesis after ischemic stroke. The research discusses the regulation of microRNAs （miRNA）， endothelial progenitor cells （EPCs）， apoptosis， upstream pro-angiogenic factors， and downstream target molecules. The paper also elaborates on related research progress， aiming to reveal how Chinese medicine can exert its potential utility in ischemic stroke treatment through this key signaling pathway， providing a theoretical basis for clinical treatment.关键词：hosphatidylinositol 3-kinase （PI3K）/signaling protein kinase B （Akt） signaling pathway;ischemic stroke;Chinese medicine;angiogenesis;mechanism of action;research progress27|12|0更新时间：2025-03-06

This article reviewed the material basis， pharmacological mechanism of action， and research on HLJDT. Modern research has shown that HLJDT is rich in alkaloids， flavonoids， glycosides， and other active ingredients. In terms of pharmacological mechanisms of action， HLJDT has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects， and it can regulate intestinal flora and cell disorder， improve iron metabolism disorder， control glucose and lipid metabolism， and exert vascular endothelial functions， with anti-tumor effects， thus improving cerebral ischemia and reducing liver damage. Its therapeutic actions are multi-layered， multi-faceted， and multi-targeted， showing significant efficacy in treating various diseases. Interdisciplinary research， such as the combined application of network pharmacology with molecular docking technology， as well as metabolomics with proteomics， has revealed the potential mechanism of HLJDT in treating various diseases. However， the research on HLJDT still faces some challenges， including the need for an in-depth exploration of its complex pharmacological mechanism of action， evaluation of its efficacy and safety across different diseases and populations， and quality control of traditional Chinese medicine. Future research should integrate modern scientific and technological approaches with traditional Chinese medicine principles to further investigate HLJDT's complex pharmacological mechanism of action， providing theoretical and practical support for its clinical use.关键词：Huanglian Jiedutang;material basis;pharmacokinetics;pharmacological mechanism of action;review24|7|0更新时间：2025-03-06

Role of Autophagy in Cardiovascular Diseases and Traditional Chinese Medicine Treatment： A Review 增强出版 AI导读
“心血管疾病治疗新突破：自噬机制与中药干预研究进展，为临床治疗提供新思路。”摘要：Cardiovascular diseases， a group of major non-infectious diseases， are characterized by high morbidity and mortality， significantly influencing patients' quality of life. Hence， it is imperative to discover a secure and efficacious treatment approach. As a form of programmed cell death， autophagy has been demonstrated to be associated with the pathogeneses of hypertension， diabetic cardiomyopathy， myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury， heart failure， atherosclerosis， and other cardiovascular disorders. It serves as one of the potential targets for the clinical intervention in cardiovascular diseases by traditional Chinese medicine （TCM）. Autophagy exerts dual regulatory effects on the occurrence and development of cardiovascular diseases， and its specific effect predominantly depends on the extent of autophagy and the pathological stage of diseases. Recent studies have confirmed that TCM can prevent and treat cardiovascular diseases by directly regulating autophagy or interacting with oxidative stress， inflammation， and apoptosis under the regulation of autophagy， exhibiting the unique advantages of multiple targets， multiple components， and mild adverse reactions. This article reviews the experimental research progress in the role of autophagy and the intervention by active components and compound prescriptions of TCM and Chinese patent medicines in common cardiovascular diseases （such as diabetic cardiomyopathy， myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury， heart failure， and atherosclerosis） in recent years and summarizes the research shortcomings， providing a theoretical basis and strategies for the clinical treatment of cardiovascular diseases.关键词：autophagy;cardiovascular diseases;traditional Chinese medical treatment;mechanism of action;review29|9|0更新时间：2025-03-06 - “最新研究发现，19种“药食同源”中药具有保肝作用，通过抗炎、抗氧化等机制发挥作用，为肝病治疗提供新思路。”摘要：The liver is closely associated with inflammation and the redox response， and inflammation is the body's innate defense system for clearing away harmful stimuli and participating in the liver's wound-healing response.Oxidative stress is associated with the activation of inflammatory pathways， and sustained inflammation and the corresponding regenerative wound healing response can induce fibrosis， cirrhosis， progression to end-stage liver disease or hepatocellular carcinoma， and ultimately death.Some "medicine and food homology" traditional Chinese medicine has been used in clinical effect， showing the ability to protect the liver.This paper reviewed the relationship between liver and oxidative stress response and inflammation response， and sorted out 110 "medicine and food same origin" traditional Chinese medicines based on the Chinese Pharmacopoeia（2020 edition） and the Chinese materia medica.The results showed that common floweringqince fruit， licorice root， cassia seed， emblic，seabuckthorn fruit，Chinese date， honeysuckle， ginger， cape jasmine fruit， platycodon root， lotus leaf， dandelion， reed root， honey， mountain honeysuckle， milkvetch root， glossy ganoderma， Gastrodia gastrodia and eucommia leaf were recorded to have liver protection effects.The liver protection mechanism is mainly anti-inflammatory， antioxidant and lipid peroxidation inhibition. Some Chinese herbs can also play a liver protection role by inhibiting the growth of hepatitis virus and liver cancer cells and regulating bile acid metabolism.In addition， the biological mechanism of its liver protection effect through antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects in animal experiments was analyzed， and it was found that it plays a role through multiple pathways and multiple targets， providing new ideas for the role of "medicine and food homology" traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment strategy of liver diseases.关键词：medicinal and edible herbs;liver injury;inflammatory response;oxidative stress;research progress23|11|0更新时间：2025-03-06

DKD is very easy to progress to end-stage renal disease，and the current therapeutic effect still needs to be improved. As an important excretive organ of the human body， the kidney has physiological functions such as discharging metabolic waste， regulating fluid balance， and maintaining the stability of the body's internal environment. These highly complex biochemical processes all depend on the energy support provided by mitochondria. Mitochondrial dysfunction is a key factor causing kidney injury， and the imbalance of mitochondrial homeostasis is an important link leading to mitochondrial dysfunction. The occurrence and development of DKD are often accompanied by the imbalance of mitochondrial homeostasis in renal cells. Mitochondrial autophagy， as a means of regulating mitochondrial homeostasis， is very important for the prevention and treatment of DKD. The PTEN-induced putative kinase 1 （PINK1）/Parkin pathway is one of the most classical pathways to regulate mitochondrial autophagy. Recent studies have found that some drugs can regulate the PINK1/Parkin signaling pathway to target mitochondrial homeostasis and exert renoprotective effects. In particular， traditional Chinese medicine has a significant effect on early and middle stage DKD by regulating PINK1/Parkin pathway-mediated mitochondrial autophagy. This article discussed the mechanism of PINK1/Parkin pathway in mitochondrial autophagy and DKD and reviewed the effect of PINK1/Parkin pathway-mediated mitochondrial autophagy on DKD. At the same time， it explored the therapeutic effect of traditional Chinese and western medicine on DKD mediated by PINK1/Parkin-mediated mitochondrial autophagy， aiming to broaden the ideas of traditional Chinese and western medicine for the prevention and treatment of DKD from the perspective of PINK1/Parkin regulating mitochondrial autophagy.关键词：traditional Chinese and Western medicine;diabetic kidney disease（DKD）;PTEN-induced putative kinase 1 （PINK1）/Parkin signaling pathway;mechanism of action;research progress42|8|0更新时间：2025-03-06
- “据最新研究，黄葵胶囊在糖尿病肾病治疗中显示出独特疗效，通过抗炎、抗氧化、抗纤维化等机制保护肾脏功能，为全球公共卫生问题提供新解决方案。”摘要：Diabetic kidney disease （DKD） is a kidney disease caused by hyperglycemia，which is one of the most common microvascular complications of diabetes. Due to the high incidence of diabetes，the incidence of DKD has also increased year by year，and DKD has become a global public health problem. The pathogenesis of DKD is related to mechanisms such as oxidative stress，inflammation，renal fibrosis，and decreased mitophagy activity，which are developed under a variety of complex mechanisms. In traditional Chinese medicine，it is believed that the incidence of DKD is closely related to damp heat. Therefore，it is necessary to grasp the treatment method of clearing heat and removing dampness in clinical medication. Huangkui Capsules （HKC） have the effect of clearing damp heat，detoxifying， and detumescence. Because of its unique curative effect on DKD，HKC is often used in the treatment of DKD. HKC plays a role in the treatment of DKD with a variety of pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic processes. In many laboratory studies，it has been found that the specific mechanisms of HKC in the treatment of DKD include increasing mitophagy，reducing mitochondrial damage，reducing renal fibrosis，controlling inflammatory response，and inhibiting oxidative stress，which can achieve the purpose of reducing renal damage and promoting renal function. Some clinical studies have also verified that the application of HKC alone can exert renal protective function through anti-inflammatory，anti-oxidative stress，anti-renal fibrosis effects，as well as reduction of urinary protein. Since DKD is not a single injury of renal function，it is often accompanied by problems in blood pressure，blood lipids，blood circulation，body immunity， and other aspects. Therefore，the combination of HKC with other drugs can often achieve more comprehensive results，improve the advantages of various drugs，and improve the therapeutic effect. The combination of drugs such as antihypertensive，lipid-lowering， vascular circulation improvement，immunity inhibition，and anti-oxidative stress with HKC has achieved good results. In addition，HKC is often used in combination with other Chinese patent medicines in clinics. The application of HKC in the treatment of DKD has made some progress，but there are still many places worthy of further study，and the research on the mechanism of HKC is not comprehensive enough. The research on its long-term effect and safety in clinical application is relatively lacking，and the drug variety is relatively single when combined with certain drugs. These problems deserve further attention. Finally，it is necessary to pay attention to the promotion and application of HKC in clinical practice so that HKC can be better applied in clinical practice and better solve practical problems for patients.关键词：Huangkui capsules;diabetic kidney disease;action mechanism;application progress22|17|0更新时间：2025-03-06
- “据最新研究报道，中医药黄芩成分通过调控多条信号通路治疗骨质疏松症，为防治提供新思路。”摘要：With the aging of the global population， osteoporosis （OP） is becoming a major public health concern worldwide. Currently， the commonly used anti-osteoporosis drugs in clinical practice have limited application due to many side effects. Therefore， developing more effective and safer strategies for the prevention and treatment of OP has become a research focus in this field. In recent years， the clinical efficacy and advantages of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） in treating OP have been gradually recognized. With the deepening pharmacological research on TCM for OP prevention and treatment， it is found that the active ingredients of Scutellaria baicalensis can promote bone formation or inhibit bone resorption by regulating signaling pathways， including Wnt/β-catenin， osteoprotegerin （OB）/receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand （RANKL）/RANK （OPG/RANKL/RANK）， and bone morphogenetic protein 2 （BMP-2）/Smad， mitogen-activated protein kinase （MAPK）， and mammalian target of rapamycin （mTOR）. However， existing research on active ingredients of S. baicalensis for OP treatment is scattered， making it difficult for scholars to gain a systematic understanding of its research and application. This review summarized the literature on the active ingredients of S. baicalensis in OP treatment worldwide， clarified their mechanisms of action， and explored some issues， providing references for the integration of TCM in OP prevention and treatment.关键词：osteoporosis;Scutellaria baicalensis;active ingredient;bone metabolism;signaling pathway20|7|0更新时间：2025-03-06
