OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects and potential mechanism of persimmon leaf （PL） extract against ferroptosis induced by H2O2 in IEC-6 cells. METHODS Using IEC-6 cells as object， the effects of ferroptosis inhibitor ferrostatin-1 on IEC-6 cell viability induced by H2O2 were investigated； IEC-6 cells were divided into control group， H2O2 group， H2O2+PL 25 μg/mL group and H2O2+PL 50 μg/mL group. The levels of oxidant stress indexes [content of malondialdehyde （MDA）， activity of superoxide dismutase （SOD）， and levels of reactive oxygen species （ROS）]， mitochondrial membrane potential （MMP） as well as mRNA and protein expressions of nuclear factor-erythroid-2 related factor 2 （Nrf2）， heme oxygenase-1 （HO-1）， NADPH/quinone oxidoreductase-1 （NQO-1）， cystine/glutamate anti-porter （xCT）， glutathione peroxidase 4 （GPX4） and ferritin heavy chain （FTH） were detected. RESULTS Ferroptosis inhibitor ferrostatin-1 could significantly increase the survival rate of H2O2-induced cells （P＜ 0.01）. Compared with the control group， MDA content， ROS level， mRNA expressions of Nrf2 and NQO-1 as well as protein expressions of Nrf2 and HO-1 were increased or up-regulated significantly， while SOD activity， MMP， mRNA expressions of xCT， GPX4 and FTH as well as protein expressions of GPX4 and FTH were decreased or down-regulated significantly （P＜0.01 or P＜0.05）. Compared with the H2O2 group， oxidative stress Δ indexes of H2O2+PL 25， 50 μg/mL groups were reversed to different extents， MMP level was increased significantly， as well as mRNA and protein expressions of Nrf2， HO-1， NQO-1，xCT， GPX4 and FTH were up-regulated to different extents；there were statistical significances in some indexes between groups （P＜0.01 or P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS PL extract can alleviate mitochondrial membrane damage and abnormal accumulation of ROS caused by H2O2， which may be related to the inhibition of ferroptosis by activating the Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway.

Cerebral small vascular disease (CSVD) is an important risk factor for stroke, cognitive impairment, and death, but its exact pathogenesis is not yet fully understood. Recent studies have shown that as an important part of pathophysiological mechanisms of CSVD, immunoinflammation may affect the progression and prognosis of CSVD. This article reviews the role of immunoinflammation in CSVD.

Objective:To analyze the medication law of Professor Li Fazhi in the prescriptions for the treatment of cough; To explore his academic thoughts.Methods:Medical cases of Professor Li about the treatment for cough from January 1, 2015 to October 31, 2022 were collected. Excel2016 and R language 4.2.1 were used to conduct multidimensional analysis on property and taste, and meridians of drugs. High-frequency efficacy classification was explored through factor analysis, clustering analysis was conducted to distinguish drug groups, and time-lapse analysis on proportion and meridian was conducted on high-frequency drugs.Results:4 746 prescriptions involved 270 kinds of Chinese materia medica, with a total frequency of 57 700 times. The most common property and taste was warm, followed by cold. Warm medicines were mainly pungent warm and cold warm, and cold medicines were mainly pungent cold, sweet cold and bitter cold, and the main meridians were lung, spleen, stomach, and liver meridians. The top 35 kinds of Chinese materia medica with frequency could be clustered into 9 groups. Group 1: Perillae Fructus, Armeniacae Semen Amarum and Ephedrae Herba; group 2: Magnoliae Flosmagnoliae Flos, Cicadae Periostracum and Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma; group 3: Peucedani Radix, Platycodonis Radix, Mori Cortex, Schizonepetae Herba, Saposhnikoviae Radix and Farfarae Flos; group 4: Angelicae Dahuricae Radix, Notopterygii Rhizoma et Radix, Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium, Astragali Radix, Cimicifugae Rhizoma and Coptidis Rhizoma; group 5: Coicis Semen, Phragmitis Rhizoma, Persicae Semen and Benincasae Semen; group 6: Perillae Folium; group 7: Bupleuri Radix, Mume Fructus, Aurantii Fructus Immaturus, Scutellariae Radix and Paeoniae Radix Alba; group 8: Asari Radix et Rhizoma, Cinnamomi Ramulus, Zingiberis Rhizoma, Schisandrae Chinensis Fructus and Pinelliae Rhizoma Praeparatum cum Alumine; group 9: Poria and Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma Praeparata cum Melle. The time-lapse analysis showed that the proportion of drugs used in the past three years such as Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma Praeparata cum Melle, Poria and Aurantii Fructus was gradually increasing.Conclusions:Professor Li's treatment of cough focuses on the lungs, spleen, and stomach. Clinical medication emphasizes the combination of ascending and descending factors, as well as the use of cold and warm. In recent years, there has been a greater emphasis on treating cough from the middle energizer.

Objective:To establish HPLC chromatogram for Aspongopus; To determine 8 nucleoside components of uracil, adenine, uridine, uric acid, hypoxanthine, adenosine, xanthine and canine quinolinic acid; To provide reference for quality control and evaluation.Methods:The Agilent ZORBAX SB-Aq chromatographic column (4.6 mm×250 mm, 5 μm) was used for gradient elution with mobile phases consisting of a methanol (A) and 0.05% phosphoric acid (B). The column temperature was 25 ℃, the flow rate was 0.8 ml/min, and the detection wavelength was 254 nm. HPLC chromatograms for Aspongopus were established and the contents of 8 components were determined.Results:The characteristic chromatogram of 15 batches aspongopus herbs was established. A total of 10 common characteristic peaks were identified and 8 were identified. The similarity between the characteristic chromatogram of samples and the control chromatogram was 0.969-0.997. The content determination showed that the linear range of uracil, adenine, urin, uric acid, hypoxanthine, adenosine, xanthine and xanuric acid was among 0.002 0-0.644 0, 0.001 4-0.448 0, 0.001 0-1.257 0, 0.005 4-6.221 0, 0.001 0-0.724 0, 0.001 0-0.644 0, 0.002 0-1.113 0, 0.003 8-2.059 0 μg, respectively, with a good linear relationship ( r≥0.999); the repeatability and stability of RSD were <2.0%, and the average sampling recovery rate was between 99.36% and 103.40%. Conclusion:The characteristic chromatogram and content determination method established in this study are simple, reliable, reproducible and accurate, and can be used for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of Aspongopus and can provide a reference for the quality evaluation method of the Aspongopus.

The hippocampus and its circuits play crucial roles in human learning, memory, and emotional regulation. Whether it is vascular cognitive impairment (VCI) or Alzheimer's disease (AD), damage to the hippocampus is a prominent pathological feature. This review summarizes the recent advance in multimodal magnetic resonance imaging in anatomy, blood supply, structure and function of the hippocampus and the circuits related to VCI and AD in recent years, aiming to provide help in early recognizing and differentially diagnosing VCI and AD.

In recent years,public hesitancy to vaccinate has come to the fore and can hinder the advancement of immunization programs.It is important to increase public confidence in vaccines and to rationally and effectively promote the immunization behavior of the population.Based on behavioral economics theory,it combines the anchoring effect,loss aversion,two-systems theory,and the herd effect to explore the irrational factors and decision-making preferences behind the public's vaccination decisions,and then proposes discourse strategies for effective boosting to increase the public's confidence in vaccination.
