OBJECTIVE: To study the therapeutic mechanism of salvianolic acid B (SA-B) in treating hepatic fibrosis. METHODS: Twenty-four Wistar rats were randomly divided into 3 groups: normal control group, untreated group and SA-B-treated group. Rats in the untreated and SA-B-treated groups were injected intraperitoneally with 0.5% dimethylnitrosamine (DMN) for 4 weeks, daily for 3 days each week at a dose of 10 microg/kg, to induce hepatic fibrosis. Then, rats in the SA-B-treated group were given SA-B orally for another 4 weeks. Hydroxyproline (Hyp) contents in liver tissue of the rats in 3 groups were determined with HCl hydrolysis, and collagen type I, transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-beta1), transforming growth factor-beta receptor type I (TbetaRI) and transforming growth factor-beta receptor type II (TbetaRII) were detected by Western blotting. RESULTS: The Hyp content and the expressions of collagen type I, TGF-beta1, TbetaRI and TbetaRII in the liver tissue of rats in the untreated group increased significantly as compared with those in the normal control group, while those in SA-B-treated group decreased significantly as compared with those in the untreated group. CONCLUSION: The therapeutic mechanism of SA-B in treating hepatic fibrosis may be related to inhibiting the expressions of TGF-beta1 and its receptors.

Predicting the protein binding rate of drugs in plasma is helpful to us in understanding the pharmacokinetic characteristics of drugs, with much value of reference for early research on drug discovery. In this study, plasma protein binding rate information of 2 452 clinical drugs were collected.Two pieces of software, Molecular Operating Environment (MOE) and Mordred, were used to calculate molecular descriptors, which were used as input features of the model.Extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost) algorithm and random forest (RF) algorithm were then used to build a machine learning model.The results showed that, compared with MOE, the prediction performance of the constructed model was better using the molecular descriptor calculated by Mordred as the input of the model.The prediction performance results of the model constructed using the XGBoost algorithm and the RF algorithm were similar, and the R2 of the optimal model were both 0.715.According to the research results, it can be concluded that the drug plasma protein binding rate is closely related to some physical and chemical properties of the drug molecule, such as water solubility, octanol/water partition coefficient and conjugated double bonds.Using these parameters to predict the plasma protein binding rate of drugs has the advantages of convenience and efficiency, which can provide reference for related pharmacokinetic studies.

ObjectiveTo study the effect of Bushen Huoxuetang on the apoptosis and the expression of B-cell lymphoma (Bcl-2)-associated X protein (Bax)/ Bcl-2 and cleaved cysteine-containing aspartate proteolytic enzyme-3 (cleaved Caspase-3) in the nude mouse model of bone metastasis of breast cancer, and explore the mechanism of Bushen Huoxuetang in inhibiting bone destruction. MethodThirty BALB/c female nude mice were randomly assigned into blank group (n=6) and model group (n=24). The suspension of 4T1 breast cancer cells was injected into the tibia of mouse right lower limb to establish model of bone metastasis of breast cancer. The successfully modeled nude mice were randomly assigned into model group, Bushen Huoxuetang group, zoledronic acid group, and combined drug group, with 6 mice in each group. Bushen Huoxuetang was administrated at a dose of 36.67 g·kg-1, once a day, and zoledronic acid was administrated by subcutaneous injection at a dose of 100 μg·kg-1, twice a week. The combined drug group was administrated with the same doses of Bushen Huoxuetang group by gavage and zoledronic acid by subcutaneous injection. The mice in the blank group and the model group were administrated with the same volume of distilled water by gavage for 14 days. On the next day at the end of drug administration, the mice were sacrificed by cervical dislocation. The general situation and weight changes of the mice were examined. The right lower limb was collected, and X-ray scanning and hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining methods were used for observation of pathological changes in the bone. The terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick-end labeling (TUNEL) was employed to detect the apoptosis of bone tissue in nude mice, and Western blot to determine the expression of Bax/Bcl-2 and cleaved Caspase-3 in the bone tissue. ResultCompared with the blank group, the modeling reduced the body weight (P<0.01) and increased the right lower limb weight of the nude mice (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, Bushen Huoxuetang, zoledronic acid, and their combination increased the body weight (P<0.01) and decreased the right lower limb weight (P<0.01). Compared with the blank group, the other groups showed obvious tumor cell atypia, deep nuclear staining, and clear bone metastasis, and the model group showed obvious osteolytic damage in right lower limb and loss of proximal tibia and knee joint. Compared with the model group, Bushen Huoxuetang, zoledronic acid, and their combination reduced the osteolytic lesions in the right lower limb and recovered part of the bone structure, demonstrating an inhibitory effect on bone destruction. The TUNEL assay showed that the model group had lower apoptosis rate of bone metastatic tumor cells than the blank group, Bushen Huoxuetang group, zoledronic acid group, and combined drug group (P<0.01). Compared with the blank group, the modeling down-regulated the expression of Bax and cleaved Caspase-3 (P<0.01) and up-regulated the expression of Bcl-2 (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, Bushen Huoxuetang, zoledronic acid, and their combination up-regulated the expression of Bax (P<0.01) and cleaved Caspase-3 (P<0.05, P<0.01) and down-regulated the expression of Bcl-2 (P<0.05, P<0.01). ConclusionBushen Huoxuetang may inhibit bone destruction in the nude mouse model of bone metastasis of breast cancer by up-regulating the expression of Bax, down-regulating the expression of Bcl-2, activating cleaved Caspase-3, and further inducing apoptosis.

Objective:
To construct and determine the weight of Index System for Assessing Parent s Ability on Child Injury Prevention, and to provide the basis for childhood injury intervention in family.
Methods:
Twenty four experts majored in related fields were invited to participate in Delphi consultation. The final index system was constructed according to the consulting results and the weight of primary and secondary indicators were calculated.
Results:
The final index system consisted of 5 subscales corresponding to 5 age groups: 0,1-2,3-5,6-11 and 12-17 years old. Each scale included 4 primary indicators and 11 secondary indicators. The weight of primary indicators obtained by analytic hierarchy process is 0.28 for "environment", 0.16 for "product", 0.31 for "behaviors and skills", and 0.25 for "psychology". The highest weight of secondary indicators for "environment", "product" and "behaviors and skills" was "water area", while the top secondary indicators for "psychology" included "parental style""emotional control" "family atmosphere", with all indicators weighted higher than 0.2.
Conclusion
The Index System for Assessing Parent s Ability on Child Injury Prevention by Delphi consultation is comprehensive in content, and with the focus on parental behaviors and skills on injury prevention.

Objective:
To investigate child injury prevention practice and associated factors among parents of primary school students.
Methods:
Parents of 2 577 students were selected from three primary schools in three administrative regions of Shanghai by multi stage sampling method between May and June in 2021. Questionnaire survey was administered to parents based on the Index System for Assessing Parent s Ability on Child Injury Prevention, which was developed previously by the present research group. Results were converted into standardized scores for descriptive analysis, and the original scores were analyzed by multiple linear regression model.
Results:
The standardized scores of parents on environment safety, product safety, behaviors and skills and psychological safety were (0.91±0.08)(0.93±0.08)(0.97±0.04)(0.95±0.05), respectively. The standardized score of general ability was (0.95±0.04). The standardized scores on knowledge, attitude and practice of injury prevention were (0.99±0.03)( 0.97± 0.05)(0.89±0.10), respectively. Mothers performances were generally better than fathers . Parents with higher education performed better than those with lower education. Parents with "being a parent" in mind performed better on child injury prevention.
Conclusion
There is a gap between practice with the knowledge as well as attitude towards child injury prevention among parents of primary school students. Parenting role, educational background and parental awareness of the importance of parental role are primary factors that affect child injury prevention practice.
