ObjectiveTo investigate the therapeutic efficacy of Danggui Shaoyaosan (DSS) on renal injury in db/db mice and its impact on endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) in renal tissues. MethodsThirty 8-week-old male db/db mice and six db/m mice were acclimated for one week, after which urinary microalbumin and blood glucose levels were monitored to establish a diabetic kidney disease (DKD) model. The model mice were randomly divided into a model group, an irbesartan group, and three DSS treatment groups with different doses (16.77, 33.54, and 67.08 g·kg-1·d-1). A normal group was set as control. Each group was intragastrically administered with the corresponding drugs or saline for 8 weeks. After the intervention, general conditions were observed. Serum cystatin C (Cys-C), 24-hour urinary total protein (24 h-UTP), 24-hour urinary microalbumin (24 h-UMA), urinary creatinine (Ucr), and urea nitrogen (UUN) were measured. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) was used to observe glomerular basement membrane (GBM) and ultrastructural changes of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) in glomerular endothelial cells. Western blot, real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR), and immunohistochemistry were used to analyze renal tissue structure and the expression of GRP78, CHOP, and related markers. ResultsCompared with the normal group, the mice in the model group showed curled posture, sluggish response, poor fur condition, increased levels of Cys-C, 24 h-UTP, 24 h-UMA, and UUN (P<0.05), while Ucr decreased (P<0.05). The GBM was significantly thickened, with podocyte and foot process fusion. The protein expressions of GRP78, CHOP, and ATF6 were significantly upregulated (P<0.05), the mRNA levels of GRP78 and CHOP increased (P<0.05), and immunohistochemistry showed an enhanced GRP78 signal (P<0.05). After treatment, the mice exhibited improved behavior, normalized GBM and podocyte structure, improved ER morphology and markedly better biochemical indicators. Western blot, Real-time PCR, and immunohistochemistry indicated that the ERS-related markers were downregulated in the DSS treatment groups (P<0.05), suggesting alleviated ERS and improved renal function. ConclusionDSS can effectively ameliorate renal pathological damage in db/db mice, possibly by regulating ERS in glomerular endothelial cells, although the underlying signaling mechanisms require further investigation.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the predominant subtype of primary liver cancer, ranks among the top in both incidence and mortality rates of malignant tumors in China. In its early stages, the disease may present with subtle or nonspecific symptoms, often leading to poor clinical prognosis and low patient survival rates, which makes it a significant public health concern. The pathogenesis is associated with multiple factors, including hepatitis virus infection, alcohol consumption, obesity, drug-induced liver injury, and immune disorders, which may interact synergistically to promote disease development. Currently, mainstream therapeutic approaches for HCC in modern medicine encompass surgical resection, liver transplantation, radiofrequency ablation, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy, but they all have certain limitations, such as large side effects and poor prognosis, imposing substantial psychological distress and financial strain on affected individuals. With a rich historical background in hepatic malignancy management, traditional Chinese medicine offers therapeutic benefits characterized by multi-targeted mechanisms, multi-level regulation, minimal adverse effects, and reduced likelihood of disease recurrence. It can not only enhance the curative effect, but also reduce the side effects of radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and surgery. Thus, it has attracted widespread attention. Extensive research has demonstrated that traditional Chinese medicine exhibits significant antitumor properties, along with notable anti-inflammatory and oxidative stress-reducing capabilities, and its mechanism may be related to the regulation of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) signaling pathway, which can affect multiple stages of hepatocarcinogenesis, such as cell proliferation, invasion, metastasis, and apoptosis. The mechanism of NF-κB signaling pathway in traditional Chinese medicine for HCC treatment has emerged as one of the pivotal research directions in current oncology studies. Based on the existing research foundation, a systematic literature review method was adopted to retrieve and analyze relevant Chinese and English literature in recent years. Integrating the molecular regulatory mechanisms of the NF-κB signaling pathway and its pivotal role in HCC pathogenesis and progression helped further explore the latest research advances in traditional Chinese medicine interventions targeting this pathway for HCC treatment. This approach may provide novel theoretical foundations and translational strategies for the prevention and management of HCC using traditional Chinese medicine.

Objective:
This study aimed to explore the relationships between various exercise components (frequency, intensity, duration) and social anxiety.
Methods:
A sample of 844 college students in China participated in this study. The Physical Activity Rating Scale-3 assessed participants’ daily physical activity. Social anxiety levels were measured using the Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale. A questionnaire was developed to collect demographic information and examine the relationships between exercise components and social anxiety levels.
Results:
One-way analysis of variance revealed significant differences in social anxiety levels across varying physical activity intensities. Specifically, students engaging in high levels of physical activity exhibited the lowest social anxiety. Post hoc analyses identified that exercise frequency F3 (p<0.01), exercise duration D5 (p<0.01), and exercise intensity I3 (p<0.01) were significantly associated with the lowest social anxiety levels. Among these components, regression analysis indicated that exercise duration (p<0.01) had the most substantial impact on social anxiety levels, followed by exercise frequency (p<0.05). In contrast, exercise intensity (p>0.05) did not significantly affect social anxiety levels.
Conclusion
The most influential factors associated with decreased social anxiety were: 1) moderate to high exercise intensity, 2) exercise duration of at least one hour, and 3) exercise frequency of at least 1–2 times per week. Among these factors, exercise duration and frequency demonstrated significantly stronger associations with reduced social anxiety. Therefore, it is advisable to prioritize exercise duration and frequency in physical activity programs for college students to reduce social anxiety and achieve more substantial outcomes.

Osteoporosis is a common senile bone metabolism disease, clinically characterized by decreased bone mass, destruction of bone microstructure, increased bone fragility, and easy fracture. It tends to occur in the elderly and postmenopausal women, seriously threatening the quality of life and physical and mental health of the elderly. At present, the treatment of osteoporosis is mainly based on oral western medicines, such as calcium, Vitamin D, and bisphosphonates. Still, there are drawbacks such as a long medication cycle and many adverse reactions. In recent years, due to the advantages of multi-component, multi-pathway, and multi-target, some traditional Chinese medicines and effective ingredients can regulate the osteogenic and osteoclastic differentiation process in both directions and are widely used in the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis. Hippophae rhamnoides is a commonly used herbal medicine, and its fruits are rich in flavonoids, polyphenols, fatty acids, vitamins, and trace elements, which have been proven to have a good anti-osteoporosis effect. Isorhamnetin is the main effective ingredient of Hippophae rhamnoides fruits, which has many pharmacological effects such as anti-inflammation, anti-oxidative stress, anti-aging, and anti-tumor. Studies have shown that isorhamnetin can participate in the regulation of bone metabolism and has a good anti-osteoporosis effect. However, the pharmacological effects and related mechanisms of isorhamnetin against osteoporosis have not been systematically summarized. Therefore, this paper reviewed the pharmacological effects and related mechanisms of isorhamnetin against osteoporosis by referring to relevant literature to provide more basis for the development and application of isorhamnetin.

OBJECTIVE:To provide evidence-based reference for c linical drug selection and decision by rapidly evaluating the effectiveness,safety and economy of treprostinil in the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). METHODS :Retrieved from Chinese and English database such as PubMed ,Embase,Web of Science ,the Cochrane Library ,Epistemonikos,HTA database(University of York ),CNKI and Wanfang databases ,included the health technology assessment (HTA)report,systematic/ Meta-analysis and pharmacoeconomic evaluation of treprostinil compared with placebo or other drugs in the treatment of PAH. The search time limit is from the construction of the database to May 1st,2020. HTA checklist ,AMSTA and CHEERS were applied to evaluate the quali ty of the literatures about HTA ,systematic review/Meta-analysis analysis a nd pharmacoecono mic evaluation and the inclusion studies was analyazed by descriptive summary. RESULTS:A total of 18 literatures were included ,involving 1 HTA report ,12 systematic review/Meta-analysis ,5 pharma- coeconomic studies. The analysis results of effectiven- ess mail: showed that compared with placebo ,treprostinil could signifi- cantly increase 6-MWD while decrease Borg dyspnea score of PAH p atients(P<0.05),but had no significant effect on mortality,the rate of clinical deterioration ,WHO functional grading ,the rate of hospitalization ,mPAP,PVR,cardiac index and mRAP(P>0.05). In addition ,compared with placebo combined with endothelin receptor antagonist and/or phosphodiesterase inhibitors,oral administration of treprostinil combined with endothelin receptor antagonist and/or phosphodiesterase inhibitors could extend 6-MWD significantly. Compared with riociguat ,treprostinil could significantly reduce Borg dyspnea score of patients. The analysis results of safety displayed that ,although the incidence of drug withdrawal due to can ’t tolerate ADR increased in patients receiving treprostinil ,there was no significant difference in the incidence of serious adverse events compared with placebo or other treatments,and it was better tolerated when administered by inhalation or intravenous injection. The analysis results of pharmacoeconomic studies showed that ICER of treprostinil was higher than the willingness payment threshold ,although the willingness payment threshold was different in different countries and different payers. CONCLUSIONS :Treprostinil treatment is effective for PAH. Patients may stop taking it due to can ’t tolerate ADR ,but the risk of serious adverse events are not increase. Although the price is high ,it is still an important alternative for PAH patients with clinical progress or poor prognosis.
