Objective:To explore the mechanism of Anemarrhenae Rhizoma in treatment of Alzheimer's Disease(AD).Methods:The active ingredients and targets of Anemarrhenae Rhizoma for treatment of AD were screened with network pharmacology methods,the protein-protein interaction(PPI)network was constructed and the core targets were analyzed.Gene Ontology(GO)and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG)pathways enriching analysis was performed.The peripheral blood lymphocytes were extracted and lymphoblastoid cell lines(LCL)were constructed and an in vitro cell model of LCL-SKNMC was established.MTT and CCK-8 methods were used to quantify SKNMC/LCL cells,2′,7′-dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate(DCFH-DA)probe was used to detect reactive oxygen species(ROS),and immunofluorescence staining was used to detect the generation of Aβ1-42 in a co-cultured model.Western blotting was used to detect protein expression in the co-culture model.The lifespan of N2 nematodes was observed under oxidative stress,normal state,and heat stress;ROS generated by N2 nematodes was detected by DCFH-DA probes.The paralysis time of CL4176 N2 nematodes was evaluated by paralysis assay,and Aβ deposition in the pharynx was detected by Thioflavin S staining.Results:Through network pharmacology,15 potential active ingredients and 103 drug-disease targets were identified.PPI analysis showed that the Anemarrhenae Rhizoma might play anti-AD roles through albumin,Akt1,tumor necrosis factor,epidermal growth factor receptor(EGFR),vascular endothelial growth factor A(VEGFA),mammalian target of rapamycin(mTOR),amyloid precursor protein(APP)and other related targets.KEGG analysis showed that the pharmacological effects of Anemarrhenae Rhizoma might involve the biological processes of Alzheimer's disease,endocrine resistance,insulin resistance;and neuroactive ligand-receptor interaction,phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase(PI3K)-Akt signaling pathway,calcium signaling pathway,AGE-RAGE signaling pathway in diabetes complications,neurotrophic factor signaling pathway and others.The in vitro cell experiments showed that Anemarrhenae Rhizoma was able to reduce the production of ROS and Aβ1-42(both P<0.01),inhibit the expression of β-secretase 1(BACE1),APP and Aβ1-42 proteins(all P<0.05),up-regulate the expression of p-PI3K/PI3K,p-AKT/AKT,p-GSK3β/GSK3β in SKNMC cells(all P<0.05).The in vivo studies further confirmed that Anemarrhenae Rhizoma prolonged the lifespan of C.elegans under stress and normal conditions,reduced the accumulation of ROS and the toxicity of Aβ deposition.Conclusion:Anemarrhenae Rhizoma may reduce the production of Aβ in AD and inhibit its induced oxidative stress,which may be achieved by regulating the PI3K/Akt/GSK-3β pathway.

OBJECTIVES:
To explore the mechanism of action of Anemarrhenae Rhizoma in treatment of Alzheimer's Disease (AD) through network pharmacology analysis and experimental validation.
METHODS:
The active ingredients and targets of Anemarrhenae Rhizoma for treatment of AD were screened with network pharmacological methods, the protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed and the core targets were analyzed, enriching Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathways analysis was performed. The peripheral blood lymphocytes were extracted and lymphoblast like cell lines (LCL) were constructed and an in vitro cell model of LCL-SKNMC was established. MTT/CCK-8 method was used to detect the activity of SKNMC/LCL cells, 2 ´, 7 ´-dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate (DCFH-DA) probe was used to detect reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated, and immunofluorescence staining was used to detect the generation of Aβ1-42 in the co-cultured model; Western blotting was used to detect protein expression in the co-culture model. The lifespan of N2 nematodes was observed under oxidative stress, normal state, and heat stress; ROS generated by N2 nematodes was detected by DCFH-DA probes. The paralysis time of CL4176 N2 nematodes was evaluated by paralysis assay, and Aβ deposition in the pharynx was detected by Thioflavin S (Th S) staining.
RESULTS:
Through network pharmacology, 15 potential active ingredients and 103 drug-disease targets were screened out. PPI analysis showed that the Anemarrhenae Rhizoma might play anti-AD roles through albumin, Akt1, tumor necrosis factor, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGFA), mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), amyloid precursor protein (APP), glycogen synthase kinas (GSK) 3β and other related targets. KEGG analysis showed that the pharmacological effects of Anemarrhenae Rhizoma might involve the biological processes of Alzheimer's disease, endocrine resistance, insulin resistance; and neuroactive ligand-receptor interaction, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)-Akt signaling pathway, calcium signaling pathway, AGE-RAGE signaling pathway in diabetes complications, neurotrophic factor signaling pathway and others. The in vitro cell experiments showed that Anemarrhenae Rhizoma was able to reduce the production of ROS and Aβ1-42 (all P<0.01), inhibit the expression of β-secretase 1 (BACE1), APP and Aβ1-42 proteins (all P<0.05), up-regulate the expression of p-PI3K/PI3K, p-AKT/AKT, p-GSK3β/GSK3β in SKNMC cells (all P<0.05). Studies further confirmed that Anemarrhenae Rhizoma prolonged the lifespan of C. elegans under stress and normal conditions, reduced the accumulation of ROS and the toxicity of Aβ deposition.
CONCLUSIONS
Anemarrhenae Rhizoma may reduce the production of Aβ in AD and inhibit its induced oxidative stress, which may be achieved by regulating the PI3K/AKT/GSK-3β pathway.

In December 2019, the corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) broke out in Wuhan, Hubei Province. Although the number of newly confirmed COVID-19 cases in provinces outside of Hubei Province has declined continuously since February 4, the epidemic of COVID-19 remains serious. As companies resume work, it is still inevitable that some high-energy orthopedic trauma patients and elderly patients with low-energy fractures will need surgical treatment. The operating room, as a place for close contact between doctors, patients and nurses, increases the risk of infection and transmission. Based on the current needs of orthopedic trauma patients and the situation of the country's resistance to the epidemic of COVID-19, the authors expound the operating room management, preparation of medical materials, transfer of patients needing surgery, intraoperative protection and post-operative end disinfection in Third Hospital of Hebei Medical University so as to provide reference for prevention and control management of the operating room during the epidemic period.
