ObjectiveTaking Aurantii Fructus Immaturus juice(AFI)-processed Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma(AMR) as an example, this study aims to systematically compare the volatile and non-volatile components of AMR and its processed products, investigate the key differential components, evaluate their anti-inflammatory activities, and elucidate the synergistic mechanism of processing. MethodsThe chemical compositions of volatile and non-volatile components in AMR and AFI-processed AMR were systematically characterized using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry(GC-MS) and ultra-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-time-of-flight mass spectrometry(UPLC-Q-TOF-MS), with relative mass fractions and response values determined separately. Volatile components were identified through searches in the National Institute of Standards and Technology(NIST)17 database, comparison with retention index(RI) and fragmentation pattern matching. Non-volatile components were identified by searching Waters Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) spectral library, in conjunction with PubChem and MassBank, characteristic fragmentation patterns and response values were also used to support identification. Differential components were screened using principal component analysis(PCA), orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis(OPLS-DA), with variable importance in the projection(VIP) value >1. Components with high log2fold change(FC) among major differential groups were selected as those exhibiting significant changes before and after processing. The anti-inflammatory activity of the differential compounds was evaluated by assessing their effects on nitric oxide(NO) production in a lipopolysaccharide(LPS)-induced RAW264.7 macrophage model. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) was used to detect the effects of the differential components on tumor necrosis factor(TNF)-α, interleukin(IL)-1β, IL-6, and monocyte chemotactic protein(MCP)-1 levels, and immunofluorescence(IF) was employed to assess their effects on nuclear transcription factor(NF)-κB p65 translocation, thereby elucidating the underlying molecular mechanisms. ResultsA total of 36 compounds were identified in the volatile components of AMR and AFI-processed AMR, among which, sesquiterpenes and monoterpenes were significantly increased after processing. In the non-volatile components, 36 compounds were identified, and the main differential components were flavonoids, sesquiterpenoids, and triterpenoids. Flavonoids were the primary differential components distinguishing AMR from its processed products, representing compounds directly introduced during processing. Five compounds, including atractylenolide Ⅲ, tangeritin, nobiletin, hesperidin and narirutin, were selected as representatives of three classes based on their most prominent differential expression among different compound types for subsequent anti-inflammatory activity studies. The results showed that 100 μmol·L-1 tangerine and narirutin could significantly inhibit LPS-induced NO production(P<0.01) in a concentration-dependent manner. Tangeritin was able to significantly inhibit the levels of TNF-α and MCP-1 secreted by RAW264.7(P<0.05), while narirutin significantly inhibited the levels of TNF-α, IL-1β, MCP-1 and IL-6(P<0.01). IF revealed that both tangeritin and narirutin significantly blocked the translocation of NF-κB p65 from the cytoplasm to the nucleus. ConclusionAFI-processed AMR significantly alters the chemical composition profile of AMR, and the newly introduced flavonoid components during processing may be key to its enhanced anti-inflammatory effects.

Employing bibliometric methods and adhering to principles of textual research, this study systematically investigated prescription source, formula name, composition evolution, dose evolution, origin, processing, ancient and modern applications of Xiaofengsan. Xiaofengsan, also known as Renshen Xiaofengsan and Chantui Xiaofengsan, was first recorded in the Taiping Huimin Hejijufang(hereafter referred to as Jufang) of the Southern Song dynasty. The formula composition included Schizonepetae Spica, Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, Chuanxiong Rhizoma, Notoptery Rhizoma et Radix, Bombyx Batryticatus, Saposhnikoviae Radix, Poria, Cicadae Periostracum, Pogostemonis Herba, Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma, Magnoliae Officinalis Cortex and Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium, a total of 12 medicinal materials. In terms of the evolution of formula composition, formulas across dynasties largely aligned with those recorded in Jufang, with only minor variations in application. The results of the formula dosage research indicated that one dose of medication in Jufang corresponded to the following modern dosages:Schizonepetae Spica of 82.6 g, Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma of 82.6 g, Chuanxiong Rhizoma of 82.6 g, Notoptery Rhizoma et Radix of 82.6 g, Bombyx Batryticatus of 82.6 g, Saposhnikoviae Radix of 82.6 g, Poria of 82.6 g, Cicadae Periostracum of 82.6 g, Pogostemonis Herba of 82.6 g, Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma of 82.6 g, Magnoliae Officinalis Cortex of 20.65 g and Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium of 20.65 g, the origins of all the constituent drugs were consistent with the 2020 edition of Pharmacopoeia of the People's Republic of China. The results of the investigation into the decoction method indicated that the aforementioned drugs should be finely ground into powder(pass through the No.5 sieve), and 8.26 g was taken for each dose, which was taken with the clear liquid obtained by steeping tea leaves in boiling water for several minutes. This mixture was administered three times daily, 30 min after meals. The ancient functional indications of this formula mainly involved dispelling wind-heat, eliminating pathogenic factors and regulating the middle Jiao. It primarily treated all wind-heat syndromes manifesting as skin diseases, predominantly affecting the upper body, especially the head and face. The diseases involved in modern applications were mostly dermatological diseases, including urticaria, eczema, atopic dermatitis and others. In this paper, by combing the relevant ancient literature, the key information of Xiaofengsan was textual researched, in order to provide reference for the modern application and development of this formula.

Natural products have shown great potential in the research and development of antitumor drugs. However, their clinical application is severely limited by inherent drawbacks such as poor water solubility, low stability, and low bioavailability. Cell membrane biomimetic nanoparticles, as a novel drug delivery system, have provided new strategies to overcome this bottleneck. This review systematically summarizes the preparation methods (e.g., membrane extrusion, ultrasonic fusion, and microfluidic electroporation) and characterization techniques (e.g., particle size, Zeta potential, and membrane surface protein detection) of cell membrane biomimetic nanoparticles, with a focus on the application of these derived from various sources in delivering antitumor natural products. Cell membrane biomimetic nanoparticles are endowed with unique biological functions, including low immunogenicity conferred by stem cell membranes, prolonged systemic circulation enabled by red blood cell membranes, and homologous targeting facilitated by tumor cell membranes. Despite these advancements, the technology still faces challenges such as difficulties in large-scale production, high costs, and limited characterization methods. Future research needs to further optimize the relevant processes to promote the clinical translation of cell membrane-biomimetic nanoparticles, thereby offering an efficient and safe novel delivery approach for antitumor therapy using natural products.

[Objective] To extract hemoglobin (Hb) from red blood cells using osmotic pressure swelling method, expected to achieve a hemoglobin dissolution rate of ≥80% and a cell membrane integrity rate of ≥70%. [Methods] Human umbilical cord blood red blood cells were used as raw materials and phosphate buffer solution was used as the swelling solution for red blood cells. A three factor three-level orthogonal experiment (n=3) was conducted to determine the optimal matching conditions for selecting the osmolality molar concentration of phosphate buffer solution, pH value of hypotonic phosphate buffer solution and volume ratio of hypotonic phosphate buffer solution to washed red blood cells. Red blood cell swelling solution samples (n=6) were prepared by the optimal matching conditions and the original process conditions. The hemoglobin dissolution rate and cell membrane integrity rate were checked. In the expanded comparative experiment, red blood cell swelling solution samples (n=6) were prepared by the optimal matching conditions and the original process conditions, which was filtered by ultrafiltration membranes. The filtration time and hemoglobin yield were checked. [Results] The optimal matching conditions for preparing red blood cell swelling solution were obtained through orthogonal experiment as follows: osmotic pressure molar concentration was 30 mOsmol/Kg, pH was 7.8, and phosphate buffer to red blood cell volume ratio was 6∶1. On the basis of the above conditions, the red blood cell swelling solution sample was compared with the original process sample: the hemoglobin dissolution rate was (82.4±1.8)% vs (78.6±3.0)% (P<0.05), and the cell membrane integrity rate was (65.8±4.0)% vs (28.7±2.3)% (P<0.05). In the expanded comparative experiment, the optimal matching conditions were compared with the original process conditions: filtration time(s) (327±9) vs (434±13) (P<0.05), and hemoglobin yield was (72.3±1.2)% vs (66.0±1.4)% (P<0.05). [Conclusion] Compared with the original preparation process, the hemoglobin extraction process which optimized through orthogonal experiments greatly reduces the cell membrane fragmentation rate and minimizes the entry of cell membrane matrix into the target solution, ensuring a slightly higher hemoglobin dissolution rate, and reducing the preparation difficulty for the subsequent cell membrane separation and further purification.

The presence of physiological barriers in the eye (both external and internal) makes conventional ophthalmic medications (eye drops, ointments, gels, etc.) less bioavailable and difficult to reach the posterior segment of the eye. Although intravitreal injection can deliver drugs to the posterior segment of the eye, it has disadvantages such as infection, injury, and poor tolerance. Ophthalmic microneedle breaks through the intra- and extra-ocular barriers, enabling the drug to reach the target site accurately and to be released continuously greatly avoiding intraocular infections and injuries, and improving the bioavailability of the drug, which has obvious advantages as an ophthalmic drug delivery tool. Ophthalmic microneedle can be classified into hollow microneedle, dissolving microneedle, and coated microneedle according to the usage methods. Each type of microneedle has its own advantages and has shown satisfactory performance in the treatment of diseases such as bacterial and fungal keratitis, glaucoma, exudative age-related macular degeneration, diabetic macular edema, non-infectious uveitis, corneal neovascularization, and even choroidal melanoma.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the clinical efficacy of Xu's Shenqiyizhu (SQYZ) decoction combined with chemotherapy in the treatment of cancer-related fatigue (CRF) of stagnated-toxin spleen deficiency type after gastric cancer surgery and explore its possible mechanism. MethodsFifty postoperative gastric cancer patients with CRF of stagnated-toxin spleen deficiency type were selected and randomly divided into an experimental group and a control group by using a random number table,with 25 cases in each group. The control group was treated with FLOT chemotherapy (50 mg·m-2 docetaxel (iv drip on day 1) + 85 mg·m-2 oxaliplatin (iv drip on day 1) + 200 mg·m-2 calcium folinate (iv drip on day 1) + 2 600 mg·m-2 fluorouracil (iv drip for 24 h on day 1),once every three weeks) and basic and symptomatic supportive treatment. The experimental group was treated with Xu's SQYZ decoction (decocted twice,200 mL taken orally twice a day) in addition to the treatment of the control group. One course of treatment lasted for three weeks,with a total of four courses conducted. Observation was performed on the piper fatigue scale (PFS) scores,karnofsky performance status (KPS) scores,European Organization for Research and Treatment of cancer quality of life questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30) scores,traditional Chinese medicine syndrome scores,and serum levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α),interferon-γ (IFN-γ),and interleukin-6 (IL-6)detected via enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) before and after treatment in the two groups. The safety test results before and after treatment for the two groups of patients,as well as the occurrence of adverse events during treatment, were recorded. Transcriptome sequencing data of peripheral blood samples from gastric adenocarcinoma patients and normal individuals were downloaded from the gene expression omnibus (GEO) database,and differentially expressed genes between the tumor and normal groups were identified. Differential gene enrichment analysis was made based on the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) and Gene Ontology (GO). The CRF relevance scores of genes were retrieved from the GeneCards database. Results① Compared with that before treatment,the total PFS score in the experimental group was significantly reduced (P<0.05). Compared with the control group after treatment,the experimental group showed significantly reduced total PFS score (P<0.05). ② Compared with that before treatment,the KPS score in the experimental group decreased significantly (P<0.05). Compared with the control group after treatment,the experimental group exhibited a significantly decreased KPS score (P<0.05). The experimental group demonstrated significantly increased functional scores (physical function,role function,emotional function,social function,and overall health) (P<0.05) and significantly reduced symptom scores (fatigue,shortness of breath,loss of appetite,constipation,and diarrhea) of the EORTC QLQ-C30 scale after treatment compared with before treatment. Compared with the control group after treatment,the experimental group presented significantly increased functional scores (physical function,emotional function,social function,and overall health) (P<0.05) and significantly reduced symptom scores (fatigue,nausea and vomiting,shortness of breath,loss of appetite,and diarrhea) of the EORTC QLQ-C30 scale (P<0.05). Compared with those before treatment,the traditional Chinese medicine syndrome scores (eating too little and poor digestion,fatigue and weakness,postprandial bloating,abnormal bowel movements,lassitude and weakness,and total score) in the experimental group were significantly reduced (P<0.05). Compared with the control group after treatment,the experimental group had significantly reduced traditional Chinese medicine syndrome scores (eating too little and poor digestion,fatigue and weakness,nausea and vomiting,and sallow complexion) (P<0.05), which indicated better efficacy in the experimental group than in the control group (χ2=7.996,P<0.05). The serum levels of TNF-α,IL-6,and IFN-γ were significantly correlated with each other (P<0.01). Compared with those before treatment,the levels of serum cytokines TNF-α,IL-6,and IFN-γ in the experimental group were significantly reduced (P<0.05). Compared with the control group after treatment,the experimental group showed significantly reduced serum levels of cytokines TNF-α,IL-6,and IFN-γ (P<0.05). ③ There were no significant intra-group and inter-group differences in the safety test results of the two groups before and after treatment. During the treatment period,there was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups of patients. ④ Compared with the normal group,the tumor group exhibited a total of 328 significantly up-regulated genes in the peripheral blood (P<0.05),and KEGG and GO analyses showed that they were significantly enriched in signaling pathways such as TNF (P<0.05). ⑤ TNF,IL6,IFNG, and other cytokine encoding genes may be key pathogenic genes for CRF. ConclusionXu's SQYZ decoction can alleviate symptoms such as fatigue in postoperative chemotherapy patients with gastric cancer and improve their functional status and quality of life. Its mechanism may be related to improving cytokine imbalance.

ObjectiveTo investigate the value of serum D-lactic acid,intestinal fatty acid binding protein (I-FABP),and E-selectin (Es) in early diagnosis of infection after gastrointestinal surgery and their relationship with curative effect and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndromes. MethodsForty-nine patients with abdominal infection after gastrointestinal surgery treated in Xianju County Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital from June 2020 to August 2023 were selected as the infection group,and another 53 non-infected patients after gastrointestinal surgery were selected as the non-infected group. The serum D-lactic acid,I-FABP,and Es levels at the first,third,fifth, and seventh days after surgery were compared between the two groups,and the Pearson correlation coefficient was used to analyze the correlation of serum indexes. The receiver operating (ROC) curve and the area under the curve (AUC) of the patients were analyzed to analyze the value of each serum index in diagnosing infection after gastrointestinal surgery. At the same time,the serum indexes of patients with different therapeutic effects were monitored dynamically on the first,third,fifth, and seventh days of treatment. Logistic regression was used to analyze the relationship between serum indexes and curative effect. The relationship between TCM syndromes and serum indexes was analyzed. ResultsThe levels of serum D-lactic acid,I-FABP,and Es in the two groups decreased on the first,third,fifth, and seventh days. There were significant differences among groups, time, and interaction (P<0.01). On the third day,serum D-lactic acid was positively correlated with I-FABP and Es,and I-FABP was positively correlated with Es (P<0.01). On the third day after surgery,the AUC of D-lactic acid + I-FABP + Es in the diagnosis of infection after gastrointestinal surgery was 0.861,higher than 0.727 of D-lactic acid,0.745 of I-FABP, and 0.797 of Es (P<0.05). The levels of serum D-lactic acid,I-FABP,and Es in patients with remission infection were decreased continuously on the first,third,fifth,and seventh days. Patients with exacerbation of infection showed a continuous upward trend,and there were significant differences among groups, time, and interaction (P<0.01). The TCM syndromes of the patients were heat toxicity syndrome,acute deficiency syndrome,blood stasis syndrome, and fu-Qi obstruction syndrome,accounting for 61.22%,20.41%,12.24%, 6.12% respectively. There were no significant differences in different syndromes,time, and interaction. ConclusionSerum D-lactic acid,I-FABP,and Es can be used for early diagnosis of abdominal infection after gastrointestinal surgery,and the change of indicators can reflect the therapeutic effect and prognosis of patients with infection,but there is no significant correlation between the change of indicators and TCM syndromes.

In recent years, gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) have increased incidence and mortality, and most GIST is caused by the activation mutation of the c-KIT gene. Therefore, c-KIT has become a promising therapeutic target of GIST. At present, the drugs approved for the treatment of GIST including imatinib, sunitinib, regorafenib and ripretinib, are mostly prone to developing resistance and accompanied by various degrees of adverse reactions. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop new c-KIT inhibitors to solve the problem of resistance. In this study, we investigated the anti-tumor effect of a novel c-KIT inhibitor PN17-1 on gastrointestinal stromal tumor GIST-882 cells
