Based on spleen deficiency-phlegm dampness as the core pathogenesis of obesity， and integrating recent advances in modern medicine regarding the key role of immune inflammation in obesity， this paper proposes a multidimensional pathogenic network of "obesity-spleen deficiency-phlegm dampness-immune imbalance". Various traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） herbs that strengthen the spleen， regulate qi， and resolve phlegm and dampness can treat obesity by improving spleen-stomach transport and transformation， promoting water-damp metabolism， and regulating immune homeostasis. This highlights immune inflammation as an important entry point to elucidate the TCM concepts of "spleen deficiency-phlegm dampness" and the therapeutic principle of "strengthening the spleen and eliminating dampness to treat obesity". By systematically analyzing the intrinsic connection between "spleen deficiency generating dampness， internal accumulation of phlegm dampness" and immune dysregulation in obesity， this paper aims to provide theoretical support for TCM treatment of obesity based on dampness.

Objective:To explore the effect of multiple modified process management intervention on cardiac func-tion,psychological state,stress level,sleep quality and adverse events in patients with severe coronary atherosclerot-ic heart disease(CHD).Methods:This randomized controlled study enrolled 130 severe CHD patients who were treated in Affiliated Beijing Shijitan Hospital of Capital Medical University between January 2020 and May 2023.Patients were randomly divided into control group(n=65)and intervention group(n=65).Patients in the control group were treated with routine management intervention,while those in the intervention group were given addi-tional multiple modified process management interventions.Both groups were intervened for 4 weeks.Cardiac func-tion,levels of norepinephrine(NE)and cortisol(COR),scores of Self-rating Anxiety Scale(SAS),Self-rating Depression Scale(SDS),General Comfort Questionnaire(GCQ),Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index(PSQI),and the incidence of adverse events during intervention were compared between the two groups.Results:Compared to those in control group after intervention,patients in intervention group had significant higher left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF)[(57.81±2.15)％vs.(50.11±2.99)％]and GCQ score[(95.88±5.37)points vs.(75.81±6.67)points](P＜0.001 all),and significant lower left ventricular end-diastolic volume(LVEDV)[(109.81±5.37)ml vs.(129.26±5.17)ml],left ventricular end-systolic volume(LVESV)[(50.85±3.08)ml vs.(66.02±3.77)ml],levels of NE[(61.56±5.49)pg/ml vs.(69.86±5.03)pg/ml],COR[(85.63±5.19)ng/ml vs.(92.28±6.57)ng/ml],scores of SAS[(30.06±5.19)points vs.(49.51±5.85)points],SDS[(31.86±4.51)points vs.(40.00±5.10)points]and PSQI[(8.72±1.58)points vs.(13.89±2.40)points],and incidence of ad-verse events(4.69％vs.23.44％)(P＜0.01 all).Conclusion:The multiple modified process management interven-tion may improve the cardiac function,adverse psychological state,stress level,sleep quality and reduce the inci-dence of adverse events in patients with severe CHD.

To explore the impacts of TGR5 on liver lipid metabolism and bile acid synthesis in dairy cows with fatty liver.Liver tissues of healthy cows and cows with fatty liver were collected through puncture technique.The protein and mRNA expressions of lipid synthesis-related factors ACC1,FAS,SREBF1,lipid oxidation factor CPT1A,and bile acid synthesis-related factors CYP8B1,CYP7B1,CYP27A1 were detected by Western blot and fluorescent quantitative PCR.Moreover,the mRNA levels of CYP7B1 were determined.Primary hepatocytes of 1-day-old calves were extracted and cultured in vitro,and four treatment groups were established,namely Control,NEFA,INT-777,and the INT-777+NEFA group.The concentration of NEFA group was 1.2 mmol/L,the con-centration of INT-777 group was 1 μmol/L,and the concentration of INT-777+NEFA group was 1.2 mmol/L NEFA and 1 μmol/L INT-777 simultaneously.After 12 h of stimulation,cells were collected,and the protein and mRNA levels of ACC1,FAS,SREBF1,CPT1A,CYP8B1,CYP7A1,CYP27A1,and the mRNA levels of CYP7B1 were detected by Western blot and fluorescent quanti-tative PCR.The content of lipid droplets and TG in the cells were detected by flow cytometry and kit.The results demonstrated that compared with healthy cows,the protein and mRNA expressions of ACC1,FAS,SREBF1,CYP8B1,and CYP7A1 in the liver tissues of fatty liver cows were upreg-ulated,while the protein and mRNA levels of CPT1 A,CYP27A1,TGR5,and the mRNA levels of CYP7B1 were downregulated.In vitro experiments revealed that compared with the Control group,the protein and mRNA levels of ACC1,FAS,SREBF1,CYP8B1,and CYP7A1 in the NEFA group were upregulated,and the protein and mRNA levels of CPT1A,CYP27A1,and TGR5,as well as the mRNA level of CYP7B1,were downregulated.Compared with the NEFA group,the protein and mRNA levels of ACC1,FAS,SREBF1,CYP8B1,CYP7A1 were downregulated in the INT-777+NEFA group,while the protein and mRNA levels of CPT1A CYP27A1,and TGR5 as well as the mRNA level of CYP7B1,were upregulated.The results of flow cytometry and the kit indicated that the lipid droplets and TG content in the NEFA group were upregulated compared with the Control group,while the lipid droplets and TG content in the INT-777+NEFA group were downregulated compared with the NEFA group.The above results suggested that the addition of TGR5 agonist promoted the expression of TGR5 and ameliorated the abnormal lipid metabolism and bile acid synthesis in the liver of dairy cows with fatty liver.

The peripheral blood of healthy or ketosis dairy cows was collected,and CD4+T cells were isolated.The expressions of lipid synthesis related proteins fatty acid synthase(FASN),acetyl coenzyme A carboxylase 1(ACC1),cluster of differentiation 36(CD36)and store-operated calcium entry(SOCE)related proteins ORAIl,ORAI2,ORAI3,STIM1,STIM2 were detected by Western blot.IL-17 cells were detected by flow cytometry.CD4+T cells were isolated from the spleen of 1-day-old calves and cultured in vitro.Cells were treated and divided into control(Ctrl)group,si-lenced CD36(siCD36)group,stearic acid(SA)group,and SA+siCD36 group.Cells in the Ctrl and SA groups were transfected with 75 pmol/L negative control siRNA for 48 h,and then stimulated with 200 μmol/L SA for 24 h;Cells in the siCD36 group and SA+siCD36 group were transfected with 75 pmol/L CD36 siRNA for 48 h,and then stimulated with 200 μmol/L SA for 24 h in the SA+siCD36 group.The protein expression of FASN,CD36,ACC1,ORAI1,ORAI2,ORAI3,STIM1 and STIM2 was detected by Western blot,and IL-17 cells were detected by flow cytometry.The results showed that the expression of IL-17 in peripheral blood CD4+T cells of ketosis dairy cows was significantly increased compared to that of healthy cows(P＜0.01).Additionally,the protein level of FASN,CD36,STIM1(P＜0.05),and ACC1,ORAI2,ORAI3,STIM2(P＜0.01)were up-regulated.Compared with the Ctrl group,the protein expression levels of CD36,ACC1 and ORAI3(P＜0.05)were up-regulated in the SA group,as well as the protein expression of FASN and STIM1(P＜0.01).Additionally,the expression of IL-17 was significantly increased(P＜0.05).Compared with the SA group,there was a decrease in the protein expression of STIM1,ORAI1(P＜0.05)and CD36,ACC1,FASN,ORAI2(P＜0.01)in the siCD36+SA group,as well as IL-17(P＜0.05).These results suggest that SA can promote the expression of IL-17 in CD4+T cells in ketosis cows by regulating fatty acid synthesis and activating SOCE channels through CD36.

To investigate the effect of VD3 on the concentration of Ca2+in neutrophils of subclinical hypocalcemia dairy cows and the autophagy of LC3,peripheral blood of dairy cows was collected and neutrophils were isolated and extracted.Western blot was used to detect the abundance of LC3 autophagy pathway-related proteins(LC3-Ⅱ,P62,ATG5)in cells.The intracellular Ca2+concen-tration of neutrophils was detected by flow cytometry.The LC3 autophagosome was detected by la-ser confocal technology.By adding VD3 to affect intracellular Ca2+concentration levels,the effects of vitamin D3 on calcium absorption and LC3 autophagy function were investigated.Western blot result showed that the protein abundances of LC3 and ATG5 in neutrophils of subclinical hypocal-cemia dairy cows decreased,while the protein abundance of p62 increased,indicating that the auto-phagy function of LC3 in subclinical hypocalcemia dairy cows was weakened.After VD3 treatment,the flow cytometry results showed that VD3 promoted the increase of Ca2+concentration levels in neutrophils.The Western blot results showed that the LC3 autophagy function of neutrophils from healthy cows and subclinical hypocalcemia cows was enhanced under the action of VD3,indicating that VD3 promoted the concentration of Ca2+in neutrophils and then affected the LC3 autophagy function.

This study was aimed at establishing a sensitive and specific sandwich ELISA detection method for Brucella.We screened monoclonal capture antibodies and detection antibodies for Brucella detection,and optimized and determined the opti-mal antibody coating time and concentration,as well as the optimal blocking solution,blocking time,and yin-yang critical val-ue.The specificity of this method was verified by examination of other bacteria prone to cross-reacting with Brucella.The sen-sitivity of the method was verified by detection of a gradient dilution of inactivated Brucella.Moreover,the sandwich ELISA detection results were compared with test tube agglutination and qPCR results.The selected capture antibody was 4A12,and the selected detection antibody was 6C12.Experimental analysis indicated that the optimal coating concentration for the 4A12 capture antibody was 5 μg/mL,and the optimal dilution ratio for the 6C12 detection antibody was 1∶2000.The optimal coating conditions were overnight at 4℃,and blocking with 5％skim milk powder for 2 hours.The established double antibody sand-wich ELISA method reacted with only Brucella but not other bacteria,thus demonstrating the method's good specificity.Inac-tivated Brucella solution was still detectable after dilution to 1 × 105 CFU/mL,thus demonstrating the method's good sensitiv-ity.The intra-and inter batch coefficients of variation were both below 10％,thus indicating the method's good repeatability.Thus,this study successfully established a dual antibody sandwich ELISA method for Brucella detection,which has good spe-cificity and sensitivity,and might provide an effective approach for the precise diagnosis and effective prevention and control of brucellosis.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of medium-chain fatty acids(MC-FAs)caprylic acid(C8∶0)on lipid metabolism of calf hepatocytes.Primary calf hepatocytes were extracted and cultured,and 1.2 mmol/L nonesterified fatty acids(NEFAs)were added to the hep-atocytes to construct a model of hepatic lipid deposition in primary calf hepatocytes,Five process-ing groups have been set up:Control group(Ctrl),NEFA added group(NEFA),C8∶0 1.2 mmol/L treatment group(C8∶0 1.2),NEFA+C8∶0 0.2 mmol/L treatment group(NEFA+C8∶00.2),C8∶0 0.2 mmol/L treatment group(C8∶0 0.2).Stimulate calf liver cells for 12 hours,and the levels of triglyceride(TG),lipid oxidation(MDA),hydrogen peroxide(H2O2)and total SOD activity were detected by biochemical kit,and FAS,a protein related to lipid synthesis,was detec-ted by Western blot.The results showed that compared with the control group,the concentrations of TG,MDA and H2O2 in NEFA group increased significantly(P＜0.01),and the activity of SOD decreased significantly(P＜0.05).The protein expression levels of FAS,ACC1,DGAT2 and SREBP-1C were significantly up-regulated(P＜0.01),while the expression level of CPT1A was significantly down-regulated(P＜0.01).Compared with the NEFA group,the protein expression levels of SREBP-1C and DGAT2 in the NEFA+C8∶0(concentration 0.2 mmol/L)group de-creased significantly(P＜0.05),and the protein expression level of fatty acid β-oxidation related molecule CPT1A was slightly higher than that in the NEFA group,but there was no statistical sig-nificance(P＞0.05),and the MDA level in hepatocytes decreased significantly(P＜0.05).In a word,the results of this study show that C8∶0 has antioxidant effect,which can effectively reduce the liver injury caused by oxidative stress,regulate the expression of liver fat gene,and then pro-tect liver injury.

Inflammatory bowel disease(IBD)is a common di-gestive system disease with an increasing morbidity year by year.Its pathological mechanisms have not been fully clarified,and there are currently no ideal or effective curative methods.Phos-phodiesterase(PDE)can regulate intracellular cAMP/cGMP levels to mediate downstream signaling pathways,participating in various pathophysiological processes.In recent years,the po-tential efficacy of PDE inhibitors in the treatment of IBD has gradually attracted attention.This article reviews the pharmaco-logical effects and mechanisms of selective PDE subtype inhibi-tors in the prevention and treatment of IBD,providing references for further research of IBD therapeutic drugs.
