Depressive disorder is a mental illness characterized by poor mood and cognitive dysfunction caused by a range of complicated factors. Antidepressants have strong short-term efficacy in clinical application, yet with significant adverse effects and resistance in long-term use. Essential oils are small molecular compounds mainly composed of monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes, most of which are characterized by aromatic odors, easy permeability through the blood-brain barrier, and low toxic side effects. Volatile oil from traditional Chinese medicine can regulate neurotransmitter monoamine, hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, brain-derived neurotrophic factor, neuroinflammation and oxidative stress, and intestinal microbiota-gut-brain axis to exert an antidepressant effect through multiple pathways and targets. This review summarizes the main antidepressant chemical components of essential oil of traditional Chinese medicine, their pharmacological mechanisms and clinical application, aiming to provide some reference for further development and clinical application of essential oil of traditional Chinese medicine.

Objective:
To evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of co-administration with bivalent human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine and hepatitis E virus (HEV) vaccine, so as to provide reference for optimizing the vaccination schedule.
Methods:
Females aged 18 to 25 years were recruited from September to October 2021 in Hengdian College of Film & Television in Zhejiang Province and randomly divided into the HPV+HEV group, the HPV group, and the HEV group. The vaccination procedures were one dose each at 0, 1, and 6 months. Immunogenicity was evaluated by detecting the geometric mean titers (GMT) of HPV16 IgG, HPV18 IgG, and/or HEV IgG antibodies before the first vaccination and one month after the full course of immunization, and comparing the difference in seroconversion, and the GMT ratio. The non-inferiority margin was set at a seroconversion difference of ≤5%, and the lower limit of the 95%CI of the GMT ratio was >0.5. Safety was evaluated by collecting conjunctive local reactions/events and systemic reactions/events within 7 days after each dose, non-conjunctive adverse events within 30 days after each dose, and serious adverse events throughout the observation period (0 to 7 months).
Results:
A total of 240 females were included, among whom 236 completed the full vaccination program, including 79 in the HPV+HEV group, 77 in the HPV group, and 80 in the HEV group. One month after the full course of immunization, the seroconversion rates of HPV16 IgG and HPV18 IgG antibodies in both the HPV+HEV group and the HPV group were 100%, and the differences in seroconversion rates were 0 (95%CI: -3.39%-+∞). The seroconversion rates of HEV IgG antibodies in both the HPV+HEV group and the HEV group were 100%, and the difference in seroconversion rates was 0 (95%CI: -3.27%-+∞). The GMT of HPV16 IgG and HPV18 IgG antibodies in the HPV+HEV group was 393.88 and 284.86 IU/mL respectively, which was not inferior to 489.39 and 341.24 IU/mL in the HPV group, and the GMT ratios were 0.80 (95%CI: 0.66-+∞) and 0.83 (95%CI: 0.68-+∞), respectively. The GMT of HEV IgG in the HPV+HEV group was 13.55 U/mL, which was not inferior to 12.72 U/mL in the HEV group, and the GMT ratio was 1.07 (95%CI: 0.92-+∞). The incidences of pain, pruritus, and induration in the HPV+HEV group were 54.43%, 21.52% and 40.51% respectively, which were significantly higher than 10.39%, 0, and 0 in the HPV group (all P<0.05). The incidences of redness/swelling, muscle pain/general weakness in the HPV+HEV group were 2.53% and 0, respectively, which were significantly lower than 12.50% and 16.25% in the HEV group (both P<0.05).
Conclusion
The co-administration of the bivalent HPV vaccine and HEV vaccine is not inferior to individual vaccination in terms of immunogenicity and safety, and the vaccination plan can be optimized through co-administration.

Objective To observe the effects of fluoride on testicular cell cycle and cell apoptosis of male rats.Methods Thirty-two healthy male Wistar rats,weighting 150-180 g,were randomly divided into 4 groups by body weight using random number table,normal sodium (control),the low-dose,medium-dose and high-dose groups(100,200,300 mg· kg-1· d-1 NaF,respectively) by intragastric administration for 90 days,and bodyweight was observed daily.After the last intragastric administration,all rats were killed by cervical dislocation.The testicular cell cycle and cell apoptosis were measured by flow cytometry.Results After 30 days exposure,the difference of body weight between groups was statistically significant(F =3.884,P < 0.05).The body weights in low-and medium-dose groups[(235.00 ± 14.56),(235.44 ± 24.99)g] were significantly increased than that of high-dose group [(206.00 ± 18.16)g,all P < 0.05].There was no significant difference of body weight between the groups at 0,60 and 90 days(F =0.501,0.578,1.893,all P > 0.05).Compared with the control group[(43.10 ± 3.62)%],the percentages of G0/G1 stage cells were significantly increased in all the NaF-treated groups [(57.60 ± 7.26) %,(52.80 ± 3.20) %,(73.13 ± 4.08) %] and the percentages of S stage cells were significantly decreased in all the NaF-treated groups [(10.58 ± 2.58)%,(9.35 ± 0.35)%,(9.55 ± 0.50)%] compared to the control group[(19.23 ± 0.61)%,all P < 0.05].On the other hand,the percentage of G2/M stage cells decreased significantly in high-dose group[(17.18 ± 2.21)%] compared with the control group[(36.34 ± 5.05)%,P < 0.05].The testicular cell apoptosis ratios in all the NaF-treated groups were higher than that in the control group,but only in medium-and high-dose groups[(71.03 ± 2.30)%,(71.90 ± 2.16)%],the difference was statistically significant compared with the control group [(60.80 ± 2.34)%,all P < 0.05].Conclusion Chronic fluorosis can change testicular cell cycle and cell apoptosis and damage the reproductive system.

Aim: To search for novel α_1-adrenoceptor(α_1-AR) antagonists. Methods: On the basis of hybridization principle with silodosin as the lead compound, twelve 5-[2-[4-[ ( substituted phenoxy) alkyl] piperazin-1-yl] propyl] indoline compounds were designed and synthesized by maintaining indoline while incorporating the 1-[(substituted phenoxy) alkyl] piperazine group. Results: The structures of synthesized target compounds were confirmed by the elemental analysis, IR, ESI-MS and ~1H NMR. Preliminary pharmacological test showed that pA_2 values of six target compounds were greater than 7. 50, which suggested that the compounds possessed considerable α_1-AR antagonic activity. Conclusion: 5-[2-[4-[ ( substituted phenoxy) alkyl] piperazin-1-yl] propyl] indoline compounds is potentially a new candidate for α_1-AR antagonist.
