Nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2)/glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) signaling pathway plays a key role in the occurrence and development of tumors, and is involved in tumor cell proliferation, apoptosis, ferroptosis, invasion, migration, and drug resistance. Based on the Nrf2/GPX4 signaling pathway, this paper summarizes the research progress of the anti- tumor effects of traditional Chinese medicine. It is found that flavonoids (ginkgetin, luteolin, etc.), terpenoids (atractylenolide, cucurbitacin B, etc.), saponins (polyphyllin Ⅰ, polyphyllin Ⅶ), ester (brusatol) and other effective components, and traditional Chinese medicine extracts (total coumarins in Pileostegia tomentella and total flavonoids of Pterocarya hupehensis Skan), traditional Chinese medicine compounds (Fushao diqin fang, Xiaoai jiedu fang, etc.) can promote ferroptosis in tumor cells by inhibiting Nrf2/GPX4 signaling pathway and the expressions of its upstream and downstream factor proteins, as well as by increasing Fe2+ levels and lipid peroxidation, thereby exerting an antitumor effect.

Objective To analyze the evaluation and influencing factors of healthy enterprises in Hubei Province from 2020 to 2023. Methods A total of 351 enterprises participated in the healthy enterprise evaluation in Hubei province were selected as the study subjects using the judgmental sampling method. The differences in evaluation results including scales, industry sector, and ownership type of the enterprises were compared. Results The median and the 25th and 75th percentiles [M (P25, P75)] of the evaluation score among the 351 enterprises was 869 (838, 941) points. The evaluation pass rate was 82.3%. The M(P25, P75) of scores for the management system, health environment, health management and services, health culture, and health outcome review were 183 (174, 192), 190 (181, 198), 340 (321, 376), 133 (122, 142), and 26 (24, 28) points, with the score percentage of 91.5%, 86.4%, 85.0%, 88.7%, and 86.7%, respectively. The deduction rate exceeded 50.0% in six items, which predominantly concentrated within the primary indicator of the health management and services, among the tertiary indicators. The result of multiple linear regression analysis revealed that smaller enterprises had significantly lower evaluation scores (P<0.05), and domestically funded enterprises scored significantly lower than those with investment from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, or foreign investments (all P<0.05). Conclusion Health management and services represent a weak area in healthy enterprise development in Hubei Province. It was suggested to improve policy incentives and support for medium-, small- and micro-sized enterprises, and domestically funded enterprises, to enhance healthy enterprise development levels.

ObjectiveTo explore the effect and mechanism of Sishenjian on synovial lesions induced by monosodium iodoacetate (MIA) in rats with knee osteoarthritis (KOA). MethodSixty female Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into the following six groups: normal group, model group, celecoxib group, and high-, medium-, and low-dose Sishenjian group. The KOA rat model was established by intra-articular injection of MIA. Celecoxib (18 mg·kg-1) and Sishenjian (14.4, 7.2, 3.6 g·kg-1) were administered by gavage according to the groups. All rats were euthanized after four weeks of continuous administration. The transverse diameter of the bilateral knee joints of rats was measured, and gross observation of the knee joint was performed. Pathological changes in knee joint synovial tissue were observed by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining and picrosirius red staining. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) was used to detect the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA) in synovial tissue. The levels of inflammatory cytokines in the joint synovial fluid were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR) and Western blot were used to detect the expression of mRNA and proteins related to the transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1)/Smad2/3 pathway in knee joint synovium. ResultCompared with the normal group, the transverse diameter of the knee joint in the model group significantly increased (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the transverse diameter of the knee joint in rats of each Sishenjian group significantly decreased (P<0.01). Compared with the normal group, the expression levels of interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in the knee joint synovial fluid of model group significantly increased (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the expression levels of IL-1β and TNF-α in the knee joint synovial fluid of rats in each Sishenjian group significantly decreased (P<0.01). Compared with the normal group, the expression levels of TGF-β1, Smad2/3, phosphorylation(p)-Smad2/3, type Ⅰ collagen α1 (ColⅠα1), type Ⅲ collagen α1 (ColⅢα1), VEGFA proteins and TGF-β1, Smad2/3, ColⅠα1, ColⅢα1 mRNA in knee joint synovium of model group significantly increased (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the expression levels of TGF-β1, Smad2/3, phosphorylation (p)-Smad2/3, ColⅠα1, ColⅢα1, VEGFA proteins and TGF-β1, Smad2/3, ColⅠα1, ColⅢα1 mRNA in knee joint synovium of rats in each Sishenjian group significantly decreased (P<0.05, P<0.01). ConclusionSishenjian can inhibit synovial inflammation and angiogenesis, and may become a potential drug for treating synovial lesions in KOA by regulating the TGF-β1/Smad2/3 pathway.
