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.

Executive function(EF) is an advanced cognitive function of the central nervous system, and is closely related to an individual's capacity for daily living and adaptation. Patients with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) typically exhibit significant executive dysfunction. While most existing studies on the executive function of individuals with ADHD are cross-sectional, and little is known about the longitudinal maturation process of related brain structures and functional connectivity patterns. The findings indicate that ADHD patients exhibit differential developmental trajectories in brain structural and functional connectivity compared with typically developing group.Furthermore, there is a lifespan association between abnormal brain network development and ADHD symptoms. This article aims to elucidate the characteristics of executive function deficits in ADHD patients across different developmental stages, examining their relationship with the nervous system’s development from a development perspective.

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.

The aim of this study is to investigate whether β-hydroxybutyrate(BHB)impaired the mitochondrial function of dairy cow monocytes through the peroxisome proliferator-activated re-ceptor γ coactivator 1 alpha(PGC-1α)signaling pathway.According to the clinical symptoms and the concentration of BHB in whole blood,the tail vein blood of 12 healthy cows(BHB＜1.2 mmol/L)and 12 clinical ketotic cows(CK,BHB＞3.0 mmol/L)was collected.In vivo,after isolation and purification of CD14+monocytes,the intracellular mitochondrial membrane potential was detected by flow cytometry.The protein abundance of oxidative phosphorylation complex cytochrome c oxi-dase subunit Ⅰ(CO Ⅰ),CO Ⅱ,CO Ⅲ,COⅣ,CO Ⅴ,PGC-1 α,mitochondrial transcription factor A(TFAM)and nuclear respiratory factor 1(NFR1)were determined by Western blot.In vitro,CD14+monocytes were co-cultured with 3.0 mmol/L BHB for 0,6,12,24 h.Flow cytometry was applied for intracellular mitochondrial membrane potential detection,and determination the protein abundance of PGC-1α,TFAM and NFR1 by Western blot.The results showed that compared with control group,the mitochondrial membrane potential in CD14+monocytes of ketotic cows was sig-nificantly increased,and the protein abundance of CO Ⅰ,CO Ⅱ,CO Ⅲ,CO Ⅳ,CO Ⅴ PGC-1α,TFAM,and NRF1 in CD14+monocytes of ketotic cows were significantly decreased.Compared with 0 h,the mitochondrial membrane potential of CD14+monocytes was significantly increased after BHB treatment for 6,12,24 h,and the protein abundance of PGC-1α,TFAM and NRF1 were significantly decreased.The results indicated that BHB induced mitochondrial dysfunction in CD14+monocytes of ketotic cows by inhibiting PGC-1α signaling pathway.Therefore,the PGC-1αsignaling pathway may be a preventive and therapeutic target to the mitochondrial dysfunction of monocytes in ketotic cows caused by BHB.

In recent years,the intensification of dairy farming has significantly improved production efficiency but has also led to a rise in the incidence of metabolic diseases.Conditions such as keto-sis,fatty liver,and hypocalcemia pose serious threats to dairy cattle health and productivity.These diseases not only profoundly affect individual physiological function but also impose considerable economic pressures and challenges on farm management.As research advances,exosomes have e-merged as a novel intercellular signaling molecule,showing unique potential in regulating dairy cattle's nutritional metabolism.Studies suggest that exosomes hold promise as biomarkers for dis-ease and can even serve as carriers for disease detection and prevention.Acting as a crucial mediator of intercellular communication,exosomes play an important role in modulating the metabolic processes of dairy cattle.This review aims to systematically explore the role of exosomes in bovine nutritional metabolism and to provide new perspectives and theoretical support for their potential as tools for diagnosing,treating,and preventing metabolic diseases in dairy cattle,thus advancing research and practice in this field.

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.

This study investigated the regulatory effects of carvacrol on lipopolysaccharide(LPS)-induced inflammatory response and endoplasmic reticulum(ER)stress in bovine mammary epithe-lial cells using in vitro cell culture techniques.Western blot analysis revealed significantly elevated expression levels of NF-κB pathway-related proteins and ER stress marker proteins in mastitis samples compared to healthy mammary tissues(P＜0.05).Cells were divided into a blank control group and carvacrol(CAV)treatment groups with varying concentrations(50,100,250,500,750,1 000 μmol/L).After 24 hours of culture,cell proliferation was assessed using the CCK-8 assay.An inflammatory model was established by stimulating MAC-T cells(a bovine mammary epithelial cell line)with LPS(10 mg/L)for 12 h,followed by measurement of the transcriptional levels of inflammatory-related genes(IL-6,IL-1β,and TNFα).MAC-T cells were pretreated with low,medi-um,and high doses of CAV for 12 h before LPS stimulation.Molecular docking analysis was per-formed to examine the interaction between CAV and GRP78,a key ER stress protein.Real-time quantitative PCR(qPCR)was used to analyze the mRNA expression levels of inflammatory cyto-kines(IL-6,IL-1β,TNFα),while Western blot was employed to assess the expression levels of NF-κB pathway proteins(p-IκB,p-NF-κB p65)and ER stress-related proteins(p-PERK,p-IRE1α,ATF6,GRP78,CHOP).The results from Western blot and qPCR demonstrated that CAV alleviated LPS-induced inflammatory response and cellular damage by inhibiting the NF-κB signa-ling pathway and ER stress.
