      摘要：ObjectiveTo study the regulatory effects of Yinchenhao Tang combined with Yinchen Zhufu Tang on the expression of regulatory T （Treg）/Helper T 17 （Th17） cells cultured in vitro from the patients with hepatitis B virus-related acute-on-chronic liver failure （HBV-ACLF）.MethodsFresh peripheral blood was collected from the patients with HBV-ACLF for the separation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells （PBMCs）. Immunomagnetic beads were used to isolate primary Treg and naive CD4+ T cells. After in vitro expansion， naive CD4+ T cells were induced to differentiate into Th17 cells. Rats were treated with the clearing method （Yinchenhao Tang）， warming method （Yinchen Zhufu Tang）， and combination of clearing method with warming method （Yinchenhao Tang combined with Yinchen Zhufu Tang， also known as Wenyang Jiedu Huayu Prescription）， respectively， and then the medicated plasma samples were collected. Meanwhile， blank plasma was collected from the rats treated with normal saline. Cells were classified into blank， clearing method （5.04g·kg-1）， warming method （6.21 g·kg-1）， and combination of clearing method with warming method （17.1 g·kg-1） groups and treated with corresponding plasma. The frequency of Treg/Th17 cells was detected by flow cytometry. The level of transforming growth factor-β （TGF-β） was measured by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The cytometric bead array （CBA） was employed to measure the levels of interleukin-10 （IL-10）， interleukin-17A （IL-17A）， tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α）， and interleukin-23 （IL-23）. The mRNA and protein levels of Forkhead box P3 （FoxP3） and retinoic acid-related orphan receptor-gamma t （ROR-γt） were determined by Real-time PCR and Western blot， respectively.ResultsCompared with the blank group， the combination of clearing method with warming method group showed decreased frequency of Treg and Th17 cells， lowered levels of Treg cytokines （TGF-β and IL-10） and Th17 cytokines （TNF-α， IL-17A， and IL-23）， and down-regulated mRNA and protein levels of FoxP3 and ROR-γt （P<0.01）. Compared with the clearing method group， the combination of clearing method with warming method group showed decreased Treg cell frequency and down-regulated mRNA and protein levels of FoxP3. Meanwhile， the combination group showed decreased Th17 cell frequency， lowered levels of TGF-β， IL-10， TNF-α， IL-17A， and IL-23， and down-regulated mRNA and protein levels of ROR-γt （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Compared with the warming method group， the combination of clearing method with warming method group showed decreased frequency of Treg cells and down-regulated mRNA and protein levels of FoxP3. Meanwhile， the combination group showed decreased Th17 cell frequency， declined levels of TGF-β， IL-10， TNF-α， IL-17A， and IL-23， and down-regulated mRNA and protein levels of ROR-γt （P<0.05）.ConclusionThe combination of clearing method with warming method can down-regulate the expression of specific cytokines of Treg and Th17 cells， inhibit the over activation of Treg and Th17 cells， and reduce the secretion of cytokines such as TGF-β， IL-10， TNF-α， IL-17A， and IL-23， thereby alleviating inflammation and improving the prognosis of the patients with liver failure.

      摘要：ObjectiveTo investigate the differential expression of intestinal flora in patients with different traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） syndrome types （Yang Huang syndrome， Yin-Yang Huang syndrome， and Yin Huang syndrome） of hepatitis B virus-related acute-on-chronic liver failure （HBV-ACLF） and clarify the biological basis of jaundice and Yin Huang syndrome in liver failure.MethodsA total of 20 cases of HBV-ACLF patients were included in the Yang Huang group， 20 cases in the Yin-Yang Huang group， 16 cases in the Yin Huang group， and 20 healthy adult volunteers. 16S rRNA gene sequencing was used to detect the diversity， species distribution， and differences of the subjects' intestinal flora， and bioinformatics analysis was conducted.ResultsCompared with those in the healthy control group， the species richness and diversity of intestinal flora in the HBV-ACLF Yang Huang group， Yin-Yang Huang group， and Yin Huang group were significantly reduced， and there were significant differences in the composition of intestinal flora compared with healthy volunteers. However， there were no significant differences in the species richness， diversity， and composition of intestinal flora among the three groups. LEfSe analysis showed that compared with the healthy control group， the HBV-ACLF Yang Huang group showed significant enrichment of Staphylococcus aureus（P<0.01）. Yin-Yang Huang group showed significant enrichment of s_Ileibacteriumvalens（P<0.05，P<0.01）， and the Yin Huang group showed significant enrichment of Enterococcus faecium and Streptococcus salivarius（P<0.05）. These strains may be biomarkers between the three groups of patients and the healthy control group. Compared with that in the Yin-Yang Huang group， Tyzzerella_nexilis was significantly enriched in the Yang-Huang group， and Streptococcus lactiae was significantly enriched in the Yin-Yang Huang group. Compared with that in the Yang-Huang group and the Yin-Yang Huang group， Enterococcus faecalis was significantly enriched in the Yin Huang group. The above strains may be biomarkers among the three groups of patients， and Enterococcus faecium may be a biomarker for the transition from the Yang Huang group to the Yin Huang group.ConclusionsThere are significant differences in the intestinal flora between patients with HBV-ACLF Yang Huang syndrome， Yin-Yang Huang syndrome， and Yin Huang syndrome. Enterococcus faecium is significantly enriched in the Yin Huang syndrome group， suggesting that dysbiosis of the intestinal flora may be the biological basis for jaundice and Yin Huang syndrome in liver failure.

      摘要：Heart and spleen deficiency syndrome is the most common syndrome type in patients with insomnia. Based on the theory of disease syndrome-combined animal model， this paper used multiple databases to search for the keywords "heart and spleen deficiency"， "insomnia"， "sleepless"， "disease syndrome-combined animal model"， "model evaluation"， etc. It selected the literature related to the animal model of insomnia with heart and spleen deficiency in the past 20 years to evaluate from the aspects of model establishment， modeling factors， syndrome model， disease model， macro characterization & macro characterization evaluation scale， micro indicators， etc. It is found that the existing animal model of insomnia with heart and spleen deficiency is not completely constructed by the method of disease syndrome combination of disease modeling factors and syndrome modeling factors. In the model using this method， the single establishment factor of heart and spleen deficiency does not conform to the clinical reality of disease， and the selection of the factors for the insomnia model is not closely related to or even separated from the syndrome performance. There is a problem of insufficient quantification of macro representation when the macro representation of the model replaces the symptoms related to heart and spleen deficiency syndrome and insomnia in an equivalent manner for macro representation evaluation， which can be improved according to the quantitative ideas and examples of the existing macro representation and macro representation evaluation scale. There are few specific indicators of heart and spleen deficiency syndrome in micro indicators. The micro research of heart and spleen deficiency syndrome and the essence of other traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） syndromes can be carried out by metabonomics and other technologies combined with the theory of corresponding prescription and syndrome， along the specific related ideas of "prescription and syndrome， treatment principle and selection of prescription， treatment principle and selection of acupoints， as well as therapeutic mechanism and syndrome essence". The future users and researchers of animal models of insomnia with heart and spleen deficiency can get improved methods and ideas through the shortcomings of animal models of heart and spleen deficiency listed in this paper and construct animal models of insomnia with heart and spleen deficiency that are more suitable for clinical practice， so as to establish a more perfect modeling method and evaluation system of disease syndrome-combined animal model.

      摘要：ObjectiveTo investigate the inhibitory effects and mechanisms of Xiayuxue Tang （XYXT） on hepatocellular carcinoma cells through the regulation of succinate metabolism and succinylation modification.MethodsXYXT-medicated serum was prepared. The effects of different concentrations of succinate on the proliferation of HepG2 and MHCC97H cells were observed using the cell counting kit-8 （CCK-8） assay， and the experimental concentrations for subsequent tests were determined. Further CCK-8 assays were performed to evaluate the effects of XYXT-medicated serum of different concentrations （5%， 10%， and 15%） on cell proliferation. Flow cytometry， scratch test， and Transwell assay were employed to analyze the effect of 10% XYXT-medicated serum on the cell cycle， migration， invasion， and apoptosis. The changes in succinate metabolism and succinylation modification were examined based on succinate content assays， succinate dehydrogenase （SDH） activity detection， and western blot. The expressions of yes-associated protein 1 （YAP1） and sirtuin 5 （SIRT5） were detected via Real-time PCR and western blot. Molecular docking was applied to validate the binding between XYXT’s main components and target proteins.ResultsCompared with the control group， 1-2 mmol·L-¹ succinate significantly promoted HepG2 and MHCC97H cell proliferation （P<0.01）. XYXT-medicated serum （5%， 10%， and 15%） markedly inhibited the proliferation of both cell lines compared with the blank group （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Treatment with 10% XYXT-medicated serum arrested the cell cycle at the stage prior to DNA synthesis （G0/G1） （P<0.01）， suppressed migration （P<0.01） and invasion （P<0.05， P<0.01）， and promoted apoptosis of HepG2 and MHCC97H cells （P<0.01）. Co-treatment with XYXT and succinate reversed the inhibitory effects of XYXT on proliferation， migration， and invasion of HepG2 and MHCC97H cells （P<0.05， P<0.01）. The proportion of cells at G0/G1 phase decreased （P<0.01）， and the apoptosis rate decreased （P<0.01）. In terms of succinate metabolism， compared with the blank serum group， the 10% XYXT-medicated serum reduced succinate levels of HepG2 and MHCC97H cells （P<0.05， P<0.01）， enhanced SDH activity （P<0.01）， and downregulated succinylation modification. In terms of YAP1/SIRT5 pathway， compared with the blank serum group， the 10% XYXT-medicated serum significantly downregulated the mRNA and protein expressions of YAP1 in HepG2 and MHCC97H cells （P<0.05， P<0.01） while significantly upregulated the mRNA and protein expressions of SIRT5 （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Molecular docking confirmed that there was a good binding ability between YAP1 and SIRT5， as well as between XYXT's main active components and YAP1 and SIRT5.ConclusionXYXT suppresses hepatocellular carcinoma cells by modulating the YAP1/SIRT5 signaling axis to intervene in succinate metabolism and succinylation modification.

      摘要：Renal interstitial fibrosis （RIF） is a common pathological change process from the development of various chronic nephropathies to the end stage， and it is an important histological manifestation of renal function decline. At present， no effective anti-fibrosis drugs have been found in clinical practice. In recent years， with the continuous development of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） pharmacology， molecular biology， system biology， and network pharmacology， the research on regulating RIF with TCM monomer， single TCM， TCM compound， Chinese patent medicine， and TCM injection is deepening. Among them， Jianpi Yishen recipe， Shendi Bushen capsules， Jianzhong Bushen Xiaozheng decoction， Liuwei Dihuangtang， and Lycium barbarum polysaccharides can regulate transforming growth factor-β/small mother against decapentaplegic （TGF-β1/Smads）， Wnt/β-catenin， and neurogenic locus notch homolog protein （Notch） signaling pathways. Wulingsan， Zhenwutang， pachymic acid ZA， pachymic acid ZC， and pachymic acid ZD， which mainly induce diuresis， can regulate the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. Hirudin， curcumin， and Fuzheng Huayu recipe， which mainly promote blood circulation， can inhibit inflammation-related pathways such as p-nuclear transcription factor-κB （NF-κB）， Toll-like receptor 4/p-nuclear transcription factor-κB （TLR-4/NF-κB）， and Janus kinase 2/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 （JAK/STAT）， so as to achieve anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidation effects and alleviate the progression of RIF. Shenshuai Xiezhuo decoction， Shenkang injection， and Shenshuai recipe， which are mainly used for invigorating Qi， removing blood stasis， and removing turbidity， can inhibit transdifferentiation of pericytes-myofibroblasts through vascular endothelial growth factor receptor （VEGFR） signaling pathway. At present， there are many studies on the regulation of the RIF signaling pathway by TCM， but there is a lack of a systematic summary. In this study， by combing the signaling pathway of TCM in the treatment of RIF， the effective target of TCM treatment is screened， and its possible mechanism is found， which provides new ideas for clinical treatment and new drug research and development.

      摘要：Bronchial asthma （asthma） is a heterogeneous disease characterized by airflow limitation， airway remodeling， and recurrent symptoms such as wheezing， shortness of breath， chest tightness， and cough. Its prevalence is gradually increasing， and a portion of patients are still poorly controlled， leading to a serious social and medical burden. Modern studies have proposed the concept of the "lung-gut axis"， which is based on the crosstalk between microorganisms and their metabolites in the lungs and large intestine， and have indicated that microbial dysbiosis in these organs may affect the onset and progression of asthma. Traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） has found the phenomenon of lung-intestinal comorbidity and put forward the importance of "lung-intestinal coordination therapy" in the treatment of lung-related diseases. It has been found that intestinal flora and their metabolites can modulate immune responses through the lung-gut axis， demonstrating great potential for predicting asthma susceptibility， anticipating phenotypes， assessing asthma severity， and guiding treatment. TCM comopunds that embody lung-intestinal coordination therapy， including herbal formulas， single herbs， acupuncture， moxibustion， acupoint application， and spinal pinching therapy， has been shown to regulate intestinal flora， improve metabolism， regulate immunity， alleviate lung inflammation， reduce mucus secretion， inhibit airway remodeling， effectively alleviate symptoms， and delay lung function decline. Based on "lung-intestinal coordination therapy"， this paper used intestinal flora as the entry point to summarize the underlying mechanisms of TCM in asthma treatment and highlighted the pivotal role of intestinal flora in asthma， providing a new idea for its clinical treatment through the intestinal flora .

      摘要：ObjectiveThe study aims to investigate the intervention effect of modified Xiangsha Liujunzitang （M-XSLJZ） on intestinal-derived lipopolysaccharide （LPS）-activated Kupffer cell inflammation in rats with hyperlipidemia spleen deficiency syndrome.MethodsSeventy male SD rats were randomly divided into seven groups （n=10）： blank control （CON）， high-fat diet without spleen deficiency （HFD）， high-fat diet with spleen deficiency （SD-HFD）， M-XSLJZ low-， medium-， and high-dose groups （XS-L， XS-M， XS-H）， and western medicine control （R）. Spleen deficiency was induced in SD-HFD， XS-L， XS-M， XS-H， and R groups via irregular diet combined with exhaustive swimming for 15 days. The CON group received a standard diet， while other groups were fed a high-fat diet for 10 weeks to establish the hyperlipidemia model. After successful modeling， rats were treated for 8 weeks： M-XSLJZ was administered at 3.51， 7.02， 14.04 g·kg-1 in XS-L， XS-M， and XS-H groups， respectively. The R group received 9×10-4 g·kg-1 of a reference drug. D-xylose excretion rate was measured by the phloroglucinol method. Blood lipids were assessed using an automated biochemical analyzer. Hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining was used to evaluate the pathological conditions of the liver， and oil red O staining was used to observe the lipid deposition in the liver. The levels of LPS， portal vein serum LPS， LPS-binding protein （LBP）， serum interleukin-6 （IL-6）， IL-1β， and tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α） were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）. Immunofluorescence was used to evaluate CD86 expression and CD68/TLR4 co-localization in the liver. Protein levels of TLR4， MyD88， NF-κB p65， and p-NF-κB p65 in Kupffer cells were analyzed via Western blot automated protein analysis. Hepatic IL-6， TNF-α， and IL-1β mRNA and protein levels were measured using Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR） and Western blot.ResultsCompared with the CON group， the SD-HFD group showed a decrease in D-xylose excretion （P<0.01）. TC， TG， HDL-C， and LDL-C increased （P<0.05， P<0.01）. A large number of hepatic lipid vacuoles and orange-red lipid droplet deposition appeared in the liver. Ileal LPS， portal LPS， and LBP increased （P<0.05， P<0.01）. The levels of serum IL-6， TNF-α， and IL-1β increased （P<0.01）. The expression of CD86 was upregulated （P<0.01）， and the co-expression of CD68 and TLR4 was enhanced. The protein levels of TLR4， MyD88， and p-p65 in Kupffer cells increased （P<0.01）. The mRNA and protein levels of IL-6， TNF-α， and IL-1β increased （P<0.05， P<0.01）.

      摘要：ObjectiveThis study aims to analyze animal models of anxiety disorder based on the clinical characteristics of anxiety disorder in traditional Chinese and Western medicine， systematically assess the clinical compatibility， and provide suggestions for the construction of animal models with a high degree of clinical compatibility between traditional Chinese and Western medicine.MethodsRelevant literature on animal models of anxiety disorder was retrieved from global databases. Scoring scales were developed according to the etiology， pathogenesis， and diagnostic criteria of anxiety disorder in both traditional Chinese and Western medicine. The animal models of anxiety disorder in the literature were analyzed， and their clinical compatibility was systematically assessed to identify reference-worthy models.ResultsThe average clinical compatibility of existing animal models of anxiety disorder was 42.13% for traditional Chinese medicine and 50.94% for Western medicine. Among these， the chronic unpredictable mild stress （CUMS） model had the highest compatibility with both traditional Chinese and Western medicine. However， current models rarely reflect the clinical syndromes of traditional Chinese medicine in depth， and show limitations in syndrome differentiation.ConclusionThe existing animal models of anxiety disorder are mostly established using single-factor approaches， which fail to comprehensively simulate the onset process and physiopathological characteristics of anxiety disorder. These models also neglect the syndrome-based indicators emphasized in traditional Chinese medicine. In the future， the model development should incorporate the clinical characteristics of syndromes in both traditional Chinese and Western medicine， establish standardized evaluation criteria for anxiety disorder models， and utilize multifactorial approaches to enhance the representativeness of animal models in traditional Chinese medicine.

      摘要：ObjectiveThis study aims to explore the potential mechanism of the Xiezhuo Jiedu formula in regulating pyroptosis for the treatment of ulcerative colitis （UC） using bioinformatics and in vivo animal experiments.MethodsDifferentially expressed genes （DEGs） in colon tissues of UC patients were retrieved from the Gene Expression Omnibus （GEO） database. Pyroptosis-related genes were obtained from the GEO and GeneCards databases. The intersection of these datasets yielded pyroptosis-related DEGs （Pyro-DEGs）. Pyro-DEGs were subjected to Gene Ontology （GO） and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes （KEGG） enrichment analysis using the Metascape database. A protein-protein interaction （PPI） network was constructed using the STRING database. Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator （LASSO） prediction model and receiver operating characteristic （ROC） analysis were conducted to identify core Pyro-DEGs with diagnostic and therapeutic potential. Immune infiltration analysis of the UC datasets was performed using the deconvolution method （CIBERSORT）， along with correlation analysis with core Pyro-DEGs. Sixty male Sprague-Dawley （SD） rats were randomly divided into a control group， a model group， high-， medium-， and low-dose groups of Xiezhuo Jiedu formula （26.64， 13.32， 6.66 g·kg-1）， and a mesalazine group （0.27 g·kg-1）， with 10 rats in each group. UC was established by intrarectal administration of 3，5-trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid （TNBS） dissolved in ethanol. The control and model groups were given distilled water by gavage， while the treatment groups were administered the corresponding drugs for 7 consecutive days. Hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining was used to observe the colon histopathology. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA） was used to detect the levels of inflammatory factors such as interleukin-1β （IL-1β）， IL-10， IL-18， and transforming growth factor-β （TGF-β）. Immunohistochemistry （IHC） and Western blot were applied to detect the expression of Caspase-1， gap junction alpha-1 protein （GJA1）， peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma （PPARG）， and S100 calcium-binding protein A8 （S100A8）. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR） was utilized to measure mRNA expression of Caspase-1， GJA1， PPARG， and S100A8. Western blot was performed to assess protein expression levels of Caspase-1， GJA1， PPARG， and S100A8.ResultsGEO datasets GSE87466 and GSE87473 yielded 64 Pyro-DEGs. KEGG analysis indicated that these genes were enriched in the NOD-like receptor signaling pathway， tumor necrosis factor （TNF） signaling pathway， and hypoxia-inducible factor 1 （HIF-1） signaling pathway. Four core Pyro-DEGs （Caspase-1， GJA1， PPARG， and S100A8） were identified. Immune infiltration analysis showed that expression of these genes was positively correlated with mast cells， neutrophils， M0 macrophages， M1 macrophages， and dendritic cells. Animal experimental results indicated that compared with the control group， the model group had significantly increased levels of IL-1β and IL-18， significantly decreased levels of IL-10 and TGF-β. The model group showed enhanced Caspase-1， GJA1， and S100A8 staining， and significantly increased mRNA and protein expression of Caspase-1， GJA1， and S100A8 （P<0.01）. In contrast， the expression of PPARG was reduced in the model group （P<0.01）. After treatment， all dosage groups showed varying degrees of improvement （P<0.05， P<0.01）， with the high-dose group showing the most significant improvement （P<0.01）.ConclusionCaspase-1， GJA1， PPARG， and S100A8 are core Pyro-DEGs closely associated with the pathogenesis of UC. These genes may collaborate with immune cells such as mast cells， neutrophils， and M0 macrophages to mediate disease development. The Xiezhuo Jiedu formula may regulate the expression of core Pyro-DEGs through the NOD-like receptor， TNF， and HIF-1 core signaling pathways， thereby modulating immune homeostasis in UC rats and effectively alleviating UC.

      摘要：Rheumatoid arthritis （RA） is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by synovitis as its pathological basis. Although current therapeutic drugs can alleviate symptoms， they are often accompanied by a high risk of side effects. In recent years， the use of flavonoids from traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） in the treatment of RA has garnered significant attention. Studies have shown that the mechanisms by which flavonoids treat RA include inhibiting the release of pro-inflammatory factors， regulating multiple cellular signaling pathways， alleviating oxidative stress， modulating immune system functions， inhibiting bone destruction， and suppressing angiogenesis. Due to their notable anti-inflammatory， antioxidant， and immunomodulatory activities， flavonoids hold promise as potential therapeutic agents for RA. A substantial number of articles in this field have been published. By reviewing domestic and international literature and applying bibliometric and visual analysis using CiteSpace， this paper aims to explore research hotspots and frontiers in this field， systematically review the structures and anti-RA mechanisms of TCM flavonoids， provide a theoretical basis for their use in RA treatment and clinical applications， and offer new perspectives and references for the discovery of novel TCM-based anti-RA drugs.

      摘要：ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of Danggui Shaoyaosan on ferroptosis in the rat model of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease （NAFLD） and explore the underlying mechanism based on the nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 （Nrf2）/solute carrier family 7 member 11 （SLC7A11）/glutathione peroxidase 4 （GPX4） signaling pathway.MethodsThe sixty SD rats were randomly grouped as follows： control， model， Yishanfu （0.144 g·kg-1）， and low-， medium-， and high-dose （2.44， 4.88， and 9.76 g·kg-1， respectively） Danggui Shaoyaosan. A high-fat diet was used to establish the rat model of NAFLD. After 12 weeks of modeling， rats were treated with corresponding agents for 4 weeks. Then， the body weight and liver weight were measured， and the liver index was calculated. At the same time， serum and liver samples were collected. The levels or activities of total cholesterol （TC）， triglycerides （TG）， alanine aminotransferase （ALT）， aspartate aminotransferase （AST）， and Fe2+ in the serum and TC， TG， free fatty acids （FFA）， malondialdehyde （MDA）， superoxide dismutase （SOD）， glutathione peroxidase （GPX）， and Fe2+ in the liver were measured. Hematoxylin-eosin staining and oil red O staining were employed to observe the pathological changes in the liver. Immunofluorescence was used to assess the reactive oxygen species （ROS） content in the liver. Mitochondrial morphology was observed by transmission electron microscopy. The protein levels of Nrf2， SLC7A11， GPX4， transferrin receptor 1 （TFR1）， and divalent metal transporter 1 （DMT1） in the liver were determined by Western blot.ResultsCompared with the control group， the model group showed increases in the body weight， liver weight， liver index， levels or activities of TC， TG， ALT， AST， and Fe2+ in the serum， levels of TC， TG， FFA， MDA， Fe2+， and ROS in the liver， and protein levels of TFR1 and DMT1 in the liver （P<0.01）， and decreases in the activities of SOD， GPX and the protein levels of Nrf2， SLC7A11， and GPX4 in the liver （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Meanwhile， the liver tissue in the model group presented steatosis， iron deposition， mitochondrial shrinkage， and blurred or swollen mitochondrial cristae. Compared with the model group， all doses of Danggui Shaoyaosan reduced the body weight， liver weight， liver index， levels or activities of TC， TG， ALT， AST， and Fe2+ in the serum， levels of TC， TG， FFA， MDA， Fe2+， and ROS in the liver， and protein levels of TFR1 and DMT1 in the liver （P<0.01）， while increasing the activities of SOD and GPX and the protein levels of Nrf2， SLC7A11， and GPX4 in the liver （P<0.01）. Furthermore， Danggui Shaoyaosan alleviated steatosis， iron deposition， and mitochondrial damage in the liver.ConclusionDanggui Shaoyaosan may inhibit lipid peroxidation and ferroptosis by activating the Nrf2/SLC7A11/GPX4 signaling pathway to treat NAFLD.

      摘要：ObjectiveTo study the mechanism by which Shexiang Tongxin dripping pills （STDP） ameliorate the dysfunction of coronary microvascular endothelial cells in the rat model of heart failure.MethodsThe heart failure model was established by ligation of the left anterior descending coronary artery in rats， which were then allocated into sham， model， STDP， and telmisartan （TLM） groups and treated for 21 days. The heart function was detected by echocardiography， and the levels of myocardial injury markers， nitric oxide （NO）， endothelin-1 （ET1）， and angiotensinⅡ （AngⅡ） were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）. The protein levels of endothelial nitric oxide synthase （eNOS） and inducible nitric oxide synthase （iNOS） were determined by Western blot. The model of cardiac microvascular endothelial cell injury was established by AngⅡ induction and then treated with the STDP-containing serum （5%， 10%， and 20%） for 24 h. The levels of NO and ET1 were measured by ELISA. Western blot was employed to determine the protein levels of eNOS， iNOS， angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 （ACE2）， and angiotensinⅡ receptor 2 （AT2）. MLN-4760， an ACE2 inhibitor， was used to explore the mechanism underpinning the regulatory effect of STDP on the ACE2-AT2/MAS pathway.ResultsCompared with the sham group， the model group showed decreases in left ventricular ejection fraction （LVEF） and left ventricular fractional shortening （LVFS） （P<0.05）， a decline in serum NO level， elevations in serum AngⅡ and ET1 levels， a reduction in p-eNOS/eNOS ratio， and up-regulation in iNOS expression （P<0.05）. Compared with the model group， STDP increased LVEF， LVFS， and cardiac output （P<0.05）， raised the level of NO and lowered the levels of AngⅡ and ET1 in the serum （P<0.05）， increased the p-eNOS/eNOS value， and inhibited iNOS expression （P<0.05）. Compared with the AngⅡ group， STDP increased the NO content and decreased the ET1 content in endothelial cells （P<0.05）， increased the p-eNOS/eNOS ratio， and inhibited the iNOS expression （P<0.05）. The ACE2 inhibitor MLN-4760 reversed the regulatory effects of STDP on p-eNOS， eNOS， and iNOS.ConclusionSTDP improves the cardiac function in the rat model of heart failure， enhances the synthesis and release of NO in cardiac microvascular endothelial cells， reduces AngⅡ and ET1 levels， and regulates the expression of p-eNOS and eNOS， thereby ameliorating the dysfunction of microvascular endothelial cells in heart failure. This mechanism is related to the upregulation of the expression of proteins in the ACE2-AT2/MAS pathway.

      摘要：ObjectiveTo evaluate the pharmacological effect of Buzhong Yiqitang on brain development in offspring of rats with subclinical hypothyroidism （SCH） during pregnancy and explore its potential mechanism.MethodsForty-eight SPF female SD rats were divided into sham operation group （n=8） and model group （n=40）. The rat model of subclinical hypothyroidism （SCH） was constructed by total thyroidectomy combined with postoperative subcutaneous injection of levothyroxine （L-T4）. The modeled rats were randomly allocated into model， low-， medium-， and high-dose （5.58， 11.16， and 22.32 g∙kg-1， respectively） Buzhong Yiqitang， and euthyrox （4.5×10-6 g∙kg-1） groups， with 8 rats in each group. These rats were co-housed with normal male rats for mating. Drug administration started 2 weeks before pregnancy and continued until delivery. Hematoxylin-eosin staining and Golgi-Cox staining were used to observe pathological changes in the hippocampal tissue of offspring rats. Western blot was employed to detect the effects of Buzhong Yiqitang on the protein levels of cytochrome C oxidase subunitⅠ （COXⅠ） and subunit Ⅳ （COXⅣ） in the hippocampal tissue of offspring rats. A colorimetric method was used to measure the mitochondrial adenosine triphosphate （ATP） content in the hippocampal tissue of offspring rats. For in vitro experiments， a hydrogen peroxide （H2O2）-induced oxidative damage model was established with rat pheochromocytoma cells （PC12）. Interventions included the DNA methyltransferase inhibitor （SGI-1027）， Buzhong Yiqitang-medicated serum， and euthyrox-medicated serum. The cell counting kit-8 （CCK-8） assay was used to examine the effect of Buzhong Yiqitang on cell proliferation. Immunofluorescence staining was performed to evaluate the effect on tubulin beta 3 class Ⅲ （TUBB3） in PC12 cells. Western blot was employed to assess the effects on the protein levels of DNA methyltransferases （TETs and DNMTs） in PC12 cells. The fluorescent probe 2'，7'-dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate （DCFH-DA）， luciferase assay， and JC-1 staining were employed to assess the effects of Buzhong Yiqitang on the levels of reactive oxygen species （ROS） and ATP and the mitochondrial membrane potential in PC12 cells.ResultsCompared with the sham group， the model group showed a reduction in the number of hippocampal neurons， incomplete pyramidal cell bodies， loose arrangement， shortened average dendrite length， decreased dendritic complexity and dendritic spine density， and reduced expression levels of COXⅠ and COXⅣ and content of ATP in the brain tissue （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， after administration of Buzhong Yiqitang and euthyrox， hippocampal neurons exhibited regular arrangement， complete morphology， extended dendrite， increased dendritic complexity and dendritic spine density， and restored expression levels of COXⅠ and COXⅣ and content of ATP （P<0.05， P<0.01）， with the medium-dose Buzhong Yiqitang group showing the best therapeutic effect. In the PC12 cell model of oxidative damage， Buzhong Yiqitang increased the cell viability （P<0.01）， enhanced neuronal differentiation， down-regulated the expression levels of DNMTs （P<0.05）， up-regulated the expression levels of TETs （P<0.05）， decreased the ROS content （P<0.01）， and restored the ATP content and mitochondrial membrane potential （P<0.01）.ConclusionBuzhong Yiqitang protects brain development in offspring of pregnant rats with SCH. It mainly acts on the oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction resulted from abnormal mtDNA methylation， with DNMTs and TETs as the key proteins for its effects.

      摘要：ObjectiveTo explore the potential mechanism by which Huangqi Baijiang Yiren decoction （HBY） repairs the intestinal mucosal injury in the rat model of ulcerative colitis （UC） via the miR-21/suppressor of cytokine signaling 1 （SOCS1）/Janus kinase 1 （JAK1）/signal transducer and activator of transcription 6 （STAT6） signaling pathway.MethodsSixty SPF-grade male SD rats were randomly assigned into six groups： blank， model， low-dose （3.68 g·kg-1） HBY， medium-dose （7.35 g·kg-1） HBY， high-dose （14.5 g·kg-1） HBY， and mesalazine （0.035 g·kg-1）， with 10 rats in each group. The rat model of UC was established in other groups except the blank group by 3% dextran sulfate sodium solution. The rats were administrated with corresponding drugs once a day for 7 consecutive days since the 3th day after modeling. The histopathological changes of the colon were observed by hematoxylin-eosin staining， and the Robarts histopathology index （RHI） was scored. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was employed to measure the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines ［interleukin （IL）-6， IL-18， IL-1β， and tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α）］ in the serum. Real-time PCR was employed to determine the mRNA levels of miR-21， SOCS1， JAK1， and STAT6 in the colon tissue. Western blot was employed to determine the protein levels of SOCS1， JAK1， phosphorylated （p）-JAK1， STAT6， p-STAT6， Occludin， and Claudin-1 in the colon tissue.ResultsCompared with the blank group， the model group showed an increase in disease activity index （DAI） （P<0.01）， shortening of colon length （P<0.01）， severe histopathological damage in the colon tissue， and an increase in RHI， rises in serum levels of IL-6， IL-1β， IL-18， and TNF-α （P<0.01）， up-regulation in mRNA levels of miR-21， JAK1， and STAT6 and protein levels of p-JAK1 and p-STAT6 （P<0.01）， and down-regulation in mRNA and protein levels of SOCS1 and protein levels of Occludin and Claudin-1 （P<0.01）. The treatment with HBY reduced the DAI （P<0.01）， alleviated colon shortening and histopathological damage in the colon tissue， decreased the RHI （P<0.01）， lowered the serum levels of IL-6， IL-1β， IL-18， and TNF-α （P<0.01）， down-regulated the mRNA levels of miR-21， JAK1， and STAT6 （P<0.05， P<0.01）， up-regulated the mRNA level of SOCS1 （P<0.05）， up-regulated the protein levels of SOCS1， Occludin， and Claudin-1 （P<0.05， P<0.01）， and down-regulated the protein levels of p-JAK1 and p-STAT6 （P<0.05， P<0.01）.ConclusionHBY may modulate the miR-21/SOCS1/JAK1/STAT6 signaling pathway to suppress inflammatory responses and restore the intestinal mucosal barrier in UC rats.

      摘要：Polygonatum sibiricum， as a traditional Chinese medicine with both medicinal and edible properties， has attracted considerable attention due to its functions of nourishing Yin and moistening the lungs， tonifying the spleen and benefiting Qi， and nourishing the kidneys and filling essence. Recent studies have demonstrated that Polygonatum sibiricum plays a significant role in regulating the immune system， effectively enhancing and improving the morphology and function of immune organs， stimulating the proliferation and activation of immune cells， and regulating the secretion and release of immune factors， thereby enhancing the immune function of the body and improving various immune-related diseases. Although a large number of studies have explored the pharmacological effects and mechanisms of Polygonatum sibiricum， there has been no systematic review and summary of its immune regulatory activity and mechanisms. Therefore， this article comprehensively reviews the research achievements of Polygonatum sibiricum polysaccharides and saponins in the field of immune regulation in recent years， and further sorts out the immune regulatory mechanisms of Polygonatum sibiricum in multiple aspects： including increasing the organ index of the spleen and thymus， increasing the number and activity of tumor-suppressive bone marrow hematopoietic stem cells， improving intestinal flora imbalance， regulating the quantity and proportion of T lymphocyte subsets， increasing the level of immunoglobulin， promoting the proliferation of macrophages， enhancing the activity of natural killer cells， increasing the number of white blood cells， and promoting the maturation of dendritic cells， providing a solid theoretical basis and scientific evidence for the research and application of Polygonatum sibiricum， and promoting its development and application in traditional Chinese medicine immune enhancers and various functional products.

      摘要：ObjectiveThis study aims to investigate the molecular mechanism by which Guizhi Fuling Wan （GFW） inhibits ferroptosis in endometriosis （EMT） through the regulation of the hypoxia inducible factor-1α/heme oxygenase 1 （HIF-1α/HMOX1） signaling pathway.MethodsMachine learning was employed to identify ferroptosis-related biomarkers associated with EMT. Network pharmacology was utilized to identify the active components of GFW and its potential therapeutic targets against EMT， including core targets. Functional enrichment analysis was conducted to explore the biological processes， molecular functions， cellular components， and signaling pathways associated with the potential targets. An EMT rat model was established via autologous transplantation. Thirty female Sprague-Dawley （SD） rats were randomly divided into five groups： sham-operated， model， positive control （dienogest at 0.2 mg·kg-1）， low-dose GFW （2.5 g·kg-1）， and high-dose GFW （5 g·kg-1）. After modeling， the rats received their respective treatment by oral gavage for 28 consecutive days， while the sham and model groups received equal volumes of distilled water. Serum and ectopic endometrial tissues were collected. Hematoxylin and eosin （HE） staining was employed to evaluate morphological alterations in ectopic lesions. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR） and Western blot were conducted to assess mRNA and protein expression of HIF-1α， HMOX1， glutathione peroxidase 4 （GPX4）， spermidine/spermine N1-acetyltransferase （SAT1）， and prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2 （PTGS2）. Tissue levels of malondialdehyde （MDA）， glutathione （GSH）， and ferrous iron （Fe²⁺） were quantified using commercial assay kits. Serum levels of interleukin-6 （IL-6） and transforming growth factor-β1 （TGF-β1） were measured via enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）.ResultsFive ferroptosis-related biomarkers in EMT were identified： ALOX12， CHAC1， SAT1， AST1， and HMOX1. Network pharmacology analysis revealed 42 active components of GFW and 192 potential therapeutic target genes related to EMT treatment， with FOS， JUN， HMOX1 identified as core targets. Functional enrichment analysis indicated that the potential targets were primarily involved in oxidative stress response and reactive oxygen species metabolism and were enriched in the HIF-1 signaling pathway. Compared to the sham-operated group， the model group exhibited significant increases in both mRNA and protein expression of HIF-1α， HMOX1， and PTGS2， as well as elevated tissue levels of Fe²⁺ and MDA. Conversely， GSH levels and the expression of GPX4 and SAT1 were markedly reduced， and serum levels of IL-6 and TGF-β1 levels were significantly higher （P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， all GFW-treated groups showed significant downregulation of HIF-1α and HMOX1 （P<0.05， P<0.01）， reduced Fe²⁺ levels （P<0.05， P<0.01）， and downregulated expression of MDA， PTGS2， IL-6， and TGF-β1 （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Meanwhile， GSH， GPX4， and SAT1 expression levels were significantly increased （P<0.05， P<0.01）， effectively ameliorating iron overload and oxidative stress， thereby demonstrating therapeutic efficacy in EMT， with the high-dose GFW demonstrating the most pronounced therapeutic effects.ConclusionGFW exerts therapeutic effects on endometriosis by regulating the HIF-1α/HMOX1 signaling pathway to rectify iron metabolism disorders and attenuate free iron-induced oxidative damage. It upregulates the antioxidative defense system to inhibit lipid peroxidation cascades and modulates inflammatory cytokine networks. These effects collectively disrupt the pathological interaction between ferroptosis and chronic inflammation， providing a novel theoretical foundation for the clinical application of GFW in EMT treatment.

      摘要：ObjectiveThis study aims to explore the mechanism of action of Huangqi Guizhi Wuwu Tang in treating rheumatoid arthritis （RA）-associated sarcopenia by regulating autophagy and improving skeletal muscle homeostasis based on network pharmacology，bioinformatics，machine learning，and animal experiments.MethodsActive ingredients and targets of Huangqi Guizhi Wuwu Tang were screened using the Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database and Analysis Platform （TCMSP），PubChem，and SwissTargetPrediction databases. RA-related datasets were retrieved from the GEO database，and differential genes were screened. Sarcopenia-related targets were searched through GeneCards and the Comparative Toxicology Database （CTD），and autophagy-related gene sets were downloaded from the Human Autophagy Database （HADb）. Their intersection was analyzed to identify autophagy-related therapeutic targets，followed by enrichment analysis. A protein-protein interaction （PPI） network was constructed using the STRING database，and key targets were selected using multiple methods. Machine learning was applied to predict models based on the expression profiles of intersecting targets，and nomogram models were constructed based on key targets. Molecular docking of the top four active ingredients with key targets was performed using AutoDockVina. A collagen-induced arthritis （CIA） rat model was established using bovine type Ⅱ collagen，with SD rats divided into groups including a blank group，a model group，and low-，medium-，and high-dose groups of Huangqi Guizhi Wuwu Tang （2.44，4.88，and 9.76 g·kg-1） and administered for five consecutive weeks. Joint scores and gastrocnemius muscle mass were recorded and analyzed after modeling. Hematoxylin and eosin （HE） staining and Masson's staining were used to observe pathological changes in muscle tissue. Immunofluorescence staining was applied to observe the protein expression levels of myosin heavy chain （MYHC） and insulin-like growth factor 1 （IGF-1） in skeletal muscle. Western blot was used to detect the protein expression levels of autophagy-related proteins ATG5，Beclin1，LC3B，muscle-specific proteins （MuRF1），MaFbx，and MYHC. Real-time quantitative reverse transcription PCR （Real-time PCR） was performed to measure the mRNA expression levels of ATG5，Beclin1，LC3B，MuRF1，MaFbx，and MYHC in muscle tissue.ResultsNetwork pharmacology revealed that Huangqi Guizhi Wuwu Tang shared 25 common targets with autophagy genes related to RA-associated sarcopenia. The PPI network and machine learning identified six key targets，which were primarily involved in autophagy and inflammatory pathways. Animal experiments showed that compared to the blank group，the model group had significantly higher joint scores （P<0.01） and lower gastrocnemius muscle index （P<0.01）. HE staining indicated a significant reduction in the cross-sectional area of gastrocnemius muscle fibers，with notable inflammatory cell infiltration and muscle atrophy in the model group. Masson's staining revealed obvious collagen fiber proliferation and deposition，with significant muscle fibrosis in the model group. The protein and mRNA expression levels of ATG5，Beclin1，LC3B，MuRF1，and MaFbx were significantly increased （P<0.01），while the protein expression of MYHC and IGF1 was significantly downregulated （P<0.01）. Compared with the model group，the high-dose group of Huangqi Guizhi Wuwu Tang showed significantly reduced protein and mRNA expression levels of ATG5，Beclin1，LC3B，MuRF1，and MaFbx （P<0.01） and increased protein expression levels of MYHC and IGF1 （P<0.01）. The cross-sectional area of muscle fibers increased，and the muscle cell morphology approached normal. Moreover，pathological abnormalities in the gastrocnemius muscle were significantly improved，with reduced collagen fiber proliferation （P<0.01）.ConclusionHuangqi Guizhi Wuwu Tang can mediate autophagy by regulating the expression of ATG5，Beclin1，LC3B，and IGF1，thereby reducing skeletal muscle catabolism and improving skeletal muscle homeostasis，which contributes to the treatment of RA-associated sarcopenia. The findings provide insight into the mechanisms underlying the effects of Huangqi Guizhi Wuwu Tang in the treatment of RA-related sarcopenia and offer a reference for its enhanced clinical application.

      摘要：Based on the trinity life view of ''physique， Qi， and spirit''， Chaihu Jia Longgu Muli Tang treats the patient's physical symptoms， disorders of Qi movement， and disorders of consciousness， covering the overall treatment and comprehensive nursing of physique， Qi， and spirit. It is widely applied and recognized for its efficacy in modern clinical practice. This paper explored the treatment effect of Chaihu Jia Longgu Muli Tang from the trinity life view of ''physique， Qi， and spirit''. This formula mainly targeted patients with Qi deficiency caused by cold， leading to a syndrome of Qi stagnation and water retention in the Triple Energizer Meridian of Hand Lesser Yang （TE）， as well as fire-heat syndrome in the Large Intestine Meridian of Hand Yang Brightness （LI） and Stomach Meridian of Foot Yang Brightness （ST）， accompanied by disorder of nutrient-blood and subsequent spirit and soul unrest. Accurately judging the imbalance of the patient's physique， Qi， and spirit and using an appropriate combination of medicinals can achieve balance among the three to achieve the best effect. The treatment strategy of Chaihu Jia Longgu Muli Tang is as follows： For disorders of Qi movement， such as Qi deficiency， Qi stagnation， and gastrointestinal fire-heat， Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma and Bupleuri Radix-Scutellariae Radix， and Rhei Radix et Rhizoma are used in combination. For physical symptoms such as water retention and disorder of nutrient-blood， Poria-Pinelliae Rhizoma-Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens， as well as Cinnamomi Ramulus-Jujubae Fructus are used in combination； finally， Os Draconis-Ostreae Concha-Plumbum Rubrum is used to calm the spirit and soothe the soul. According to existing research， Chaihu Jia Longgu Muli Tang has shown good efficacy in treating a variety of complex clinical diseases. This article provides a comprehensive interpretation of Chaihu Jia Longgu Muli Tang from the perspective of the trinity life view of ''physique， Qi， and spirit''， offering new insights for clinical syndrome differentiation， treatment， and prescription.

      摘要：Chronic heart failure is the terminal stage of various cardiovascular diseases， and cardiomyocyte apoptosis is the turning point of decompensation. Studies have shown that traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） could regulate apoptosis-related signaling pathways and factors and inhibit or up-regulate the expression of apoptosis-related proteins. Thus， TCM can reduce cardiomyocyte apoptosis， protect the myocardial tissue and improve the cardiac function， demonstrating remarkable clinical effects. In recent years， the research on the treatment of chronic heart failure based on the inhibition of cardiomyocyte apoptosis is increasing and becomes the current research hotspot. On the basis of literature review， this paper discovers that TCM regulates apoptosis factors and multiple signaling pathways to inhibit apoptosis and inflammation and delay the progression of chronic heart failure through classical pathways such as the death receptor pathway， the mitochondrial pathway， and the endoplasmic reticulum pathway. At the same time， the studies in this field have the following problems： Repeated studies with shallow， simple， and fragmented contents， treating animal models with TCM prescriptions without syndrome differentiation， treating diseases with drugs at only one concentration which is insufficient to indicate efficacy， and lacking comprehensive， holistic， and systematic studies on the relationships of apoptosis with inflammatory responses， pyroptosis， ferroptosis， and autophagy. In the future， more scientific， reasonable， comprehensive， and feasible experimental schemes should be designed on the basis of comprehensively mastering the research progress in this field， and the communication and cooperation between researchers in different disciplines should be strengthened. The specific pathological mechanism of cardiomyocyte apoptosis in chronic heart failure and the signaling pathways， active components， and action targets of TCM in inhibiting cardiomyocyte apoptosis in chronic heart failure should be elucidated. Such efforts are expected to provide sufficient reference for the clinical treatment of chronic heart failure.
