ObjectiveTo unveil the mechanism of Jianpi Huogu prescription （JPHGP） in ameliorating the dyslipidemia of steroid-induced osteonecrosis of the femur head （SONFH） by oxylipidomics combined with transcriptomics. MethodsSixty SD rats were assigned into normal， model， low-， medium-， and high-dose （2.5， 5， 10 g·kg^-1， respectively） JPHGP， and Jiangushengwan （1.53 g·kg^-1） groups. Lipopolysaccharide was injected into the tail vein at a dose of 20 μg·kg^-1 on days 1 and 2， and methylprednisolone sodium succinate was injected at a dose of 40 mg·kg^-1 into the buttock muscle on days 3 to 5. The normal group received an equal volume of normal saline. Drug administration by gavage began 4 weeks after the last injection， and samples were taken after administration for 8 weeks. Hematoxylin-eosin staining was conducted to reveal the histopathological changes of the femoral head， and the number of adipocytes， the rate of empty bone lacunae， and the trabecular area were calculated. Micro-computed tomography was used for revealing the histological and histomorphometrical changes of the femoral head. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was employed to measure the serum levels of triglyceride （TG）， total cholesterol （TC）， low-density lipoprotein （LDL）， high-density lipoprotein （HDL）， apolipoprotein A1 （ApoA1）， and apolipoprotein B （ApoB）. At the same time， the femoral head was collected for oxylipidomic and transcriptomic detection. The differential metabolites and differential genes were enriched and analyzed， and the target genes regulating lipid metabolism were predicted. The predicted target proteins were further verified by molecular docking， immunohistochemistry， and Western blot. ResultsCompared with the normal group， the model group showcased thinning of the femoral head， trabecular fracture， karyopyknosis， subchondral cystic degeneration， increases in the number of adipocytes and the rate of empty bone lacunae （P<0.01）， a reduction in the trabecular area （P<0.01）， decreases in BMD， Tb.Th， Tb.N， and BV/TV， and increases in Tb.Sp and BS/BV （P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， the JPHGP groups showed no obvious thinning of the femoral head or subchondroidal cystic degeneration. The high- and medium-dose JPHGP groups presented declines in the number of adipocytes and the rate of empty bone lacunae， an increase in the trabecular area （P<0.05， P<0.01）， rises in BMD， Tb.Th， Tb.N， and BV/TV， and decreases in Tb.Sp and BS/BV （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Compared with the normal group， the model group showcased raised serum levels of TG， TC， LDL， and ApoB and lowered serum levels of HDL and ApoA1 （P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， the JPHGP groups had lowered serum levels of TG， TC， LDL， and ApoB （P<0.05， P<0.01） and a risen serum level of ApoA1 （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Moreover， the serum level of HDL in the high-dose JPHGP group increased （P<0.01）. A total of 19 different metabolites of disease set and drug set were screened out by oxylipidomics of the femoral head， and 119 core genes with restored expression were detected by transcriptomics. The enriched pathways were mainly concentrated in inflammation， lipids， apoptosis， and osteoclast differentiation. Molecular docking， immunohistochemistry， and Western blot results showed that compared with the normal group， the model group displayed increased content of 5-lipoxygenase （5-LO） and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ （PPARγ） in the femoral head （P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， medium- and high-dose JPHGP reduced the content of 5-LO and PPARγ （P<0.05， P<0.01）. ConclusionJPHGP can restore the levels of oxidized lipid metabolites by regulating the 5-LO-PPARγ axis to treat SONFH in rats. Relevant studies provide experimental evidence for the efficacy mechanism of JPHGP in the treatment of SONFH.

Objective:To explore the formulation patterns and potential targets of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in the treatment of pneumoconiosis using data mining, network pharmacology, and Mendelian randomization (MR) .Methods:In November 2023, prescription data for TCM compound treatments of pneumoconiosis from the past five years were retrieved from the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang, and VIP databases. The formulation patterns of TCM for pneumoconiosis were analyzed based on drug frequency, association rules, and cluster analysis, followed by the identification of core drugs. Network pharmacology and MR analysis were then applied to determine the potential targets for pneumoconiosis treatment.Results:A total of 100 TCM prescriptions were included, involving 182 herbs, with 15 high-frequency herbs. A total of 24 strong association rules were identified, including 16 herbs. Cluster analysis identified three groups of drug combinations. The core drug combination, "Astragalus Root-Codonopsis Root-Tangkuei-Chinese Magnolia Vine Fruit-Danshen Root-Prepared Rehmannia Root" was determined, which interacted with 47 common targets associated with pneumoconiosis. Further protein-protein interaction (PPI) analysis identified 18 core targets, and MR analysis confirmed that Caspase-3 (CASP3) and Cathepsin B (CTSB) were risk factors for pneumoconiosis ( OR=1.35, 1.44; P=0.038, 0.038) . Conclusion:The core drug combination for the treatment of pneumoconiosis with TCM is "Astragalus Root-Codonopsis Root-Tangkuei-Chinese Magnolia Vine Fruit-Danshen Root-Prepared Rehmannia Root". The medication mainly focuses on tonifying lung qi, moistening dryness and stopping coughing, circulating blood and transforming stasis, which are supplemented with herbs for nourishing yin and moistening dryness, warming yang and dissipating cold. Finally, the key targets for treating pneumoconiosis are screened out, providing an important basis for the development of therapeutic drugs for it.
