Osteonecrosis of femoral head （ONFH） is a disease that causes osteocyte death due to interruption of blood supply of the femoral head， which may cause symptoms such as joint movement disorders， pain， and even femoral head collapse. Currently， the commonly used methods for treating ONFH in clinical practice are accompanied by problems such as long-term side effects， inaccurate efficacy， technical limitations， and complication risks. Traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） has shown unique advantages of holistic regulation， mild side effects， and symptom alleviation. A review of the related literature shows that Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma， as a representative Chinese herbal medicine for activating blood and resolving stasis， has the effects of activating blood， resolving stasis， dredging meridians， and relieving pain. Its active ingredients （such as salvianolic acid B， tanshinone Ⅱ_A， and tanshinone Ⅰ） interfere with bone metabolism balance， osteogenesis and differentiation， and improve bone microcirculation and bone microstructure. Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma is often combined with the herbal medicines with the effects of tonifying the liver and spleen or activing blood to form herb pairs （such as Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma-Angelicae Sinensis Radix， Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma-Chuanxiong Rhizoma， and Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma-Drynariae Rhizoma）， which enhances the efficacy through synergistic effects. In the application of TCM compound formulas， Bushen Huoxue prescription， Bushen Huoxue capsules， Gubi Tongxiao granules， and Shenggu Zaizao pills can regulate signaling pathways such as Wnt/β-catenin， Hedgehog， Notch， transforming growth factor（TGF）-β₁/Smads， and mitogen-activated protein kinase （MAPK） through multiple targets to significantly improve bone metabolism and hip joint function， playing an important role in preventing and treating ONFH. Through a review of available studies， this paper systematically explains the outstanding advantages of the active ingredients， herb pairs， and compound formulas of Salviae miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma in the prevention and treatment of ONFH. The mechanisms may be related to factors such as promoting osteoblast generation and inhibiting osteoclast formation， increasing osteogenic differentiation， promoting angiogenesis， increasing bone density， inhibiting inflammatory response， and regulating signaling pathways. In the future， modern technology can be employed to optimize dosage forms， and high-quality clinical research should be conducted to further clarify its mechanism of action and promote the precise application of TCM. This review aims to provide more thinking directions for the application of Salviae miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma in preventing and treating ONFH.

Geraniin, a polyphenol derived from the fruit peel of Nephelium lappaceum L., has been shown to possess anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties in the cardiovascular system. The present study explored whether geraniin could protect against an isoproterenol (ISO)-induced cardiac hypertrophy model. Mice in the ISO group received an intraperitoneal injection of ISO (5 mg/kg) once daily for 9 days, and the administration group were injected with ISO after 5 days of treatment with geraniin or spironolactone. Potential therapeutic effects and related mechanisms analysed by anatomical coefficients, histopathology, blood biochemical indices, reverse transcription-PCR and immunoblotting. Geraniin decreased the cardiac pathologic remodeling and myocardial fibrosis induced by ISO, as evidenced by the modifications to anatomical coefficients, as well as the reduction in collagen I/III á1mRNA and protein expression and cross-sectional area in hypertrophic cardiac tissue. In addition, geraniin treatment reduced ISO-induced increase in the mRNA and protein expression levels of interleukin (IL)-6, IL-1β and tumor necrosis factor-α, whereas ISO-induced IL-10 showed the opposite behaviour in hypertrophic cardiac tissue.Further analysis showed that geraniin partially reversed the ISO-induced increase in malondialdehyde and nitric oxide, and the ISO-induced decrease in glutathione, superoxide dismutase and glutathione. Furthermore, it suppressed the ISO-induced cellular apoptosis of hypertrophic cardiac tissue, as evidenced by the decrease in Bcell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2)-associated X/caspase-3/caspase-9 expression, increase in Bcl-2 expression, and decrease in TdT-mediated dUTP nick-end labeling-positive cells.These findings suggest that geraniin can attenuate ISO-induced cardiac hypertrophy by inhibiting inflammation, oxidative stress and cellular apoptosis.

Objective To compare the effects of different signal peptides on the secretion and expression of SARS-CoV-2S1,receptor binding domain(RBD) and RBD dimer proteins in Expisf9 insect cells.Methods The gene sequences of three proteins,SARS-CoV-2 S1(M1-E661),RBD(R319-P545) and RBD dimer(R319-K537 tandem),were selected and divided into 25 groups according to the different N-terminal signal peptide sequences(Endo,honeybee melittin(HBM),GP64,GP67,chitinase(Chi) and HIV-ENV) and C-terminal label sequences.25 recombinant baculoviruses were constructed by Bac-to-Bac system,and 25 groups of tertiary strain banks were prepared.B2 and C4 viruses were inoculated to logarithmic prestage cells(2.8 × 10~6 cells/mL) and logarithmic metaphase cells(1.2 × 10~7 cells/mL),respectively.The viruses of each group were cultured to 100 mL(500 mL shaker) for protein expression,and samples were taken for SDSPAGE electrophoresis,Western-blot and ELISA detection.Two groups with higher expression levels of S1,RBD and RBD dimer proteins were selected for repeated verification.Results When B2 and C4 were inoculated to high cell density,the secretion expression level showed no increase,while there were significant difference between 4 and 5 d after inoculation.The expression level of A7(Endo-S1-tag) was significantly lower than that of A9(HIV-ENV-S1-tag),the expression level of A4(Gp67-S1-tag) was the highest,and the secreted expression level of A1(Endo-Endo-Sl-tag) was significantly lower than that of A7(Endo-S1-tag).The secretion and expression of B6(HIV-ENV-RBD-tag) was signifi-cantly higher than that of B4(Gp67-RBD-tag) and other signal peptide groups,and C4(Gp67-RBD-dimer-tag) expression was significantly higher than that of C3(Gp64-RBD-dimer-tag).Two groups with high expression of each protein were selected separately for repeated verification(A4,A9;B4,B6;C3,C4) and the results showed that A4,B6 and C4 had the highest secretion expression levels.Conclusion The signal peptide for the highest secretion expression of S1 and RBD dimer proteins is the same,which is GP67 signal peptide,while the most suitable signal peptide for RBD protein is HIV-ENV,indicating that the N-terminal sequence can affect protein secretion,signal peptide sequence is universal to a certain extent,but is also related to the target protein sequence to be expressed.
