Hippophae rhamnoides is a plant with both medicinal and edible properties, rich in nutritional value and biological activity, and has a long history of medicinal use. It is rich in various chemically active components, mainly including flavonoids, polysaccharides, vitamins, and fatty acids. In recent years, extensive research has been conducted on the chemically active components of sea buckthorn both at home and abroad. By comparing different extraction methods of various components, it has been found that different extraction methods affect the chemical structure of Hippophae rhamnoides extracts, and thus influence their pharmacological activities. Studies have shown that Hippophae rhamnoides has significant pharmacological effects in cardiovascular diseases, obesity and overweight, liver diseases, immune regulation diseases, gastrointestinal diseases and so on, with multiple pharmacological activities such as antioxidation, anti-inflammation, lipid-lowering, and blood sugar-lowering. Its development and application value in the fields of health food and medicine is immeasurable. The different chemical components of Hippophae rhamnoides, their extraction and analysis methods were systematically reviews, as well as the research progress on its main pharmacological effects and mechanisms, which could provide a reference basis for the further development and application of Hippophae rhamnoides resources.

ObjectiveTo investigate the neuroprotective effect of glycosides of cistanches (GCs) in 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)-induced Parkinson’s disease (PD) model mice and its potential mechanism. MethodsForty mice were randomly divided into control group, PD group, GCs group and levodopa (L-DOPA) group, with 10 mice in each group. The control group received intraperitoneal injection of normal saline, while the other groups were intraperitoneally injected with MPTP (30 mg/kg) once daily for 5 consecutive days. After model establishment, the control group and PD group were intragastrically administered normal saline, and the GCs group and L-DOPA group received intragastric administration once daily for 28 consecutive days, at doses of 100 mg/kg and 50 mg/kg, respectively. The open field test and rotarod test were used to evaluate motor function. Immunohistochemistry was performed to detect the number of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH)-positive neurons in the substantia nigra of the midbrain. Transmission electron microscopy was adopted to observe the ultrastructure of mitochondria in the substantia nigra. Biochemical assays were used to determine the levels of glutathione (GSH), malondialdehyde (MDA), total superoxide dismutase (T-SOD) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) in substantia nigra tissues. Western blot was applied to detect the protein expression of TH, nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap-1) and heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) in substantia nigra tissues. ResultsCompared with the control group, mice in the PD group exhibited markedly impaired motor function, significantly decreased T-SOD activity, obvious reductions in the number of TH-positive neurons and GSH content, as well as elevated MDA and ROS levels in the substantia nigra (P<0.01). Compared with the PD group, mice in the GCs group showed improved motor function, increased T-SOD activity, higher number of TH-positive neurons and elevated GSH content, accompanied by decreased MDA and ROS levels (P<0.05). In the control group, mitochondria in the substantia nigra displayed normal morphology without obvious blurred membrane structures or vacuolar degeneration. The PD group presented mitochondrial swelling, disordered cristae and vacuolar changes, whereas these mitochondrial pathological alterations were alleviated in the GCs group. Compared with the control group, the protein levels of TH, Nrf2 and HO-1 were significantly downregulated, while Keap-1 protein expression was markedly upregulated in the PD group (P<0.01). Compared with the PD group, the GCs group showed significant upregulation of TH, Nrf2 and HO-1 protein levels and a notable reduction in Keap-1 protein level (P<0.05). ConclusionGCs ameliorate motor dysfunction and attenuate dopaminergic neuronal and mitochondrial damage in MPTP-induced PD model mice. These effects may be associated with modulation of Nrf2/HO-1 pathway-related protein expression, enhancement of antioxidant capacity, and alleviation of oxidative stress.

AIM: To analyze the reasons and clinical outcomes of intraocular lens(IOL)exchange.METHODS:This retrospective case series study included 47 patients(53 eyes)who underwent IOL exchange surgery at the Department of Ophthalmology, the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University, between April 2020 and May 2024, aged from 5 to 87(44.8±3.6)years old. Patients' demographics, surgical indications, surgical techniques, preoperative and postoperative uncorrected visual acuity(UCVA)and best-corrected visual acuity(BCVA), as well as postoperative complications were recorded.RESULTS:The reasons for IOL exchange included refractive error(18 cases, 23 eyes, 43%), IOL dislocation(12 cases, 13 eyes, 25%), IOL opacification(12 cases, 12 eyes, 23%), neuroadaptation failure(3 cases, 3 eyes, 6%), and patient dissatisfaction with visual quality(2 cases, 2 eyes, 4%). The surgical techniques for IOL exchange included in-the-bag IOL fixation(16 eyes, 30%), ciliary sulcus fixation(27 eyes, 51%), and scleral suture fixation(10 eyes, 19%). There was statistical significant difference between preoperative UCVA(LogMAR)and UCVA(LogMAR)at 1 d postoperatively(1.03±0.64 vs 0.50±0.46, P<0.05), and there was statistical significant difference between preoperative BCVA(LogMAR)and BCVA(LogMAR)at 1 mo postoperatively(0.41±0.37 vs 0.17±0.21, P<0.05). Postoperative complications included posterior capsule opacification in 2 eyes and IOL dislocation in 1 eye.CONCLUSION:Refractive error, IOL dislocation, and IOL opacification were the three most common reasons for IOL exchange. Although less frequent, factors such as neuroadaptation issues associated with multifocal IOLs and patient-reported visual quality dissatisfaction reflect growing expectations for improved visual outcomes. IOL exchange surgery, though technically challenging, demonstrates favorable clinical efficacy and a low complication rate, representing an effective intervention for managing postoperative IOL-related issues following cataract surgery.
