ObjectiveTaking Aurantii Fructus Immaturus juice（AFI）-processed Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma（AMR） as an example， this study aims to systematically compare the volatile and non-volatile components of AMR and its processed products， investigate the key differential components， evaluate their anti-inflammatory activities， and elucidate the synergistic mechanism of processing. MethodsThe chemical compositions of volatile and non-volatile components in AMR and AFI-processed AMR were systematically characterized using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry（GC-MS） and ultra-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-time-of-flight mass spectrometry（UPLC-Q-TOF-MS）， with relative mass fractions and response values determined separately. Volatile components were identified through searches in the National Institute of Standards and Technology（NIST）17 database， comparison with retention index（RI） and fragmentation pattern matching. Non-volatile components were identified by searching Waters Traditional Chinese Medicine （TCM） spectral library， in conjunction with PubChem and MassBank， characteristic fragmentation patterns and response values were also used to support identification. Differential components were screened using principal component analysis（PCA）， orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis（OPLS-DA）， with variable importance in the projection（VIP） value >1. Components with high log₂fold change（FC） among major differential groups were selected as those exhibiting significant changes before and after processing. The anti-inflammatory activity of the differential compounds was evaluated by assessing their effects on nitric oxide（NO） production in a lipopolysaccharide（LPS）-induced RAW264.7 macrophage model. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay（ELISA） was used to detect the effects of the differential components on tumor necrosis factor（TNF）-α， interleukin（IL）-1β， IL-6， and monocyte chemotactic protein（MCP）-1 levels， and immunofluorescence（IF） was employed to assess their effects on nuclear transcription factor（NF）-κB p65 translocation， thereby elucidating the underlying molecular mechanisms. ResultsA total of 36 compounds were identified in the volatile components of AMR and AFI-processed AMR， among which， sesquiterpenes and monoterpenes were significantly increased after processing. In the non-volatile components， 36 compounds were identified， and the main differential components were flavonoids， sesquiterpenoids， and triterpenoids. Flavonoids were the primary differential components distinguishing AMR from its processed products， representing compounds directly introduced during processing. Five compounds， including atractylenolide Ⅲ， tangeritin， nobiletin， hesperidin and narirutin， were selected as representatives of three classes based on their most prominent differential expression among different compound types for subsequent anti-inflammatory activity studies. The results showed that 100 μmol·L^-1 tangerine and narirutin could significantly inhibit LPS-induced NO production（P<0.01） in a concentration-dependent manner. Tangeritin was able to significantly inhibit the levels of TNF-α and MCP-1 secreted by RAW264.7（P<0.05）， while narirutin significantly inhibited the levels of TNF-α， IL-1β， MCP-1 and IL-6（P<0.01）. IF revealed that both tangeritin and narirutin significantly blocked the translocation of NF-κB p65 from the cytoplasm to the nucleus. ConclusionAFI-processed AMR significantly alters the chemical composition profile of AMR， and the newly introduced flavonoid components during processing may be key to its enhanced anti-inflammatory effects.

ObjectiveTo identify the direct target proteins for the anti-obesity effect of resveratrol （Res） via chemical proteomic analysis and systematically explore the molecular mechanisms by which Res inhibits lipid accumulation in adipocytes from mitochondrial function regulation， adipocyte browning， and inflammation inhibition， thus providing new targets and experimental evidence for the prevention and treatment of obesity and related metabolic diseases. MethodsThe cell counting kit-8 （CCK-8） assay was adopted to detect the safe and effective doses （7.5， 15， 30 μmol·L^-1） of Res for treating 3T3-L1 cells based on the cell survival rate. After being induced to differentiate into mature adipocytes， the cells were assigned into the blank ［treated with dimethyl sulfoxide （DMSO）］ group and the Res （7.5， 15， 30 μmol·L^-1） groups and treated for 48 h. Oil red O staining and total triglyceride （TG） content were assessed to measure lipid accumulation in adipocytes. Target protein identification of Res was conducted through IAA-P-based chemical proteomics combined with high-resolution mass spectrometry. Target proteins of Res were validated by cellular thermal shift assay （CETSA） combined with Western blot analysis. Furthermore， the expression of browning markers peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivator-1α （PGC-1α） and mitochondrial uncoupling protein 1 （UCP1）， as well as the target proteins NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase core subunit S8 （NDUFS8） and high-mobility group protein B1 （HMGB1） were determined by Western blot. The ATP assay kit was used to measure the ATP concentration. Mitochondrial biogenesis was characterized with MitoTracker Green， on the basis of which the regulatory effect of Res on mitochondrial function was analyzed. The level of the inflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α） was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）， on the basis of which the anti-inflammatory effect of Res on adipocytes was evaluated. ResultsCompared with the control group， Res demonstrated safety and efficacy within the range of 7.5-30 μmol·L^-1， without significantly affecting cell viability. Compared with the control group， different concentrations of Res reduced lipid accumulation in 3T3-L1 adipocytes （P<0.01）， promoted the expression of NDUFS8 （P<0.01）， increased the ATP concentration and the protein levels of UCP1 and PGC-1α， elevated the level of TNF-α （P<0.05， P<0.01）. ConclusionNDUFS8 and HMGB1were identified as the target proteins of Res in mitigating obesity. Res promotes mitochondrial biogenesis to induce the browning of 3T3-L1 adipocytes via targeting NDUFS8 and it inhibits the TNF-α-mediated inflammatory signaling via targeting HMGB1， thus inhibiting lipid accumulation and ameliorating obesity.

Objective:To establish a standardized code database of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) terms related to linezolid and analyze the common ADRs of linezolid.Methods:Linezolid drug labels, websites (including Side Effect Resource, and the official websites of US Food and Drug Administration, European Medicines Agency and National Medical Products Administration) and scientific literature database (including CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, PubMed, Embase and Web of Science databases) were systematically searched, and ADR terms about linezolid were collected. ADR terms were mapped to the international classification of diseases-10 (ICD-10) code to establish a linezolid adverse reaction database.Results:A total of 117 ADR terms about linezolid were collected and 91 ICD-10 codes were obtained after being mapped to ICD-10. A standardized database was constructed and successfully embedded into the ADR spontaneous reporting system as a specific drug submodule. The gastrointestinal system, skin and subcutaneous tissue system, various nervous systems, blood and lymphatic systems were the most common system organs involved in linezolid-related ADRs under the 91 ICD-10 codes. Among them, ADRs under the gastrointestinal system codes K14.302 (black hairy tongue) and K52.104 (drug-induced gastroenteritis and colitis), the skin and subcutaneous tissue system code L27.005 (drug-induced dermatitis), various nervous system codes G90.800 (other disorders of autonomic nervous system), G62.001 (drug-induced polyneuropathy) and G44.400 (drug-induced headache, not elsewhere classified), the blood and lymphatic system codes D69.502 (drug- induced thrombocytopenia) and D70.x02 (drug-induced granulocytopenia), the metabolic and nutritional codes E87.204 (lactic acidosis), as well as the endocrine system code E16.000 (drug-induced hypoglycaemia without coma) had been reported frequently in the scientific literature. In addition, there were 14 ADR terms related to linezolid under 13 ICD-10 codes not recorded in the drug instructions.Conclusions:It is feasible to use ICD-10 code to standardize ADR terms related to linezolid and establish a database. Common ADRs of linezolid include thrombocytopenia, lactic acidosis, neutropenia, black hairy tongue, gastroenteritis/colitis, hypoglycemia, rash, serotonin syndrome, peripheral neuropathy and headache, which should be paid attention to and researched furtherly.

Hepatocellular carcinoma （HCC） is the sixth most common cancer in the world. In recent years， the clinical early diagnosis and treatment protocols of HCC have been improved， whereas the prognosis of patients is still not satisfactory， which is due to the fact that the mechanism of HCC development has not been fully elucidated. Therefore， it is of great significance to explore the molecular mechanisms and key regulatory links of hepatocellular carcinoma development to further improve the diagnosis and treatment of HCC in China. Epigenetics has become a research hotspot because of its reversibility and easy regulation. According to relevant studies， HCC involves the accumulation of multiple genetic and epigenetic changes during the initiation， promotion， and progression stages. HCC is categorized as infantile malnutrition with accumulation， hypochondriac pain， tympan ites， and abdominal mass in traditional Chinese medicine （TCM）. In the treatment of HCC， TCM with low toxicity， multi-targets， and multi-mechanisms can inhibit tumor growth， alleviate the clinical symptoms， and enhance the quality of life of the patients. Chinese medicines and their active ingredients exert anti-HCC effects through epigenetic regulation of DNA methylation， histone modification， and non-coding RNA. Abnormal gene expression due to epigenetic regulation disorders is involved in all stages of HCC development. There are few studies on epigenetic regulation in TCM treatment of HCC， and there is still much room for development in basic and clinical trials. This paper reviews the mechanism of epigenetic regulation in HCC and summarizes the experimental results of TCM research on the related mechanism， with a view to providing a theoretical basis for future research on the mechanism of HCC development and clinical diagnosis and treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma with TCM.

Background: Acute respiratory distress syndrome induced by acute lung injury (ALI) is the main cause for the high mortality of corona-virus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Huashi Baidu formula (HSBD) with the effects of eliminating dampness, clearing heat, ventilating lung, and removing toxin has been proven to be effective in the treatment of COVID-19, especially in severe cases. However, the underlying mechanism and target proteins of HSBD remain unclear. Objective: To provide evidence and decipher the mechanism of HSBD in alleviating inflammation and ALI. Materials and methods: A mouse model of ALI was induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS), and hematoxylin-eosin staining was used to examine the protective effects of HSBD on the model mice. The cellular thermal shift assay and proteomics analysis were used to predict the target proteins. Furthermore, the A549 cells with peroxiredoxin 5 (PRDX5) knockdown were established to validate the predicted proteins. Results: Huashi Baidu formula treatment mitigated ALI and inflammatory cytokine dysfunction in LPS-induced mice, thus exerting a therapeutic effect on COVID-19. Huashi Baidu formula could serve as a therapeutic agent to alleviate inflammation and lung injury via nuclear factor k B and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase signaling and interleukin 17 inhibition as well as targeting PRDX5, which could be one of the promising targets for treating inflammation. In the A549 cell line with PRDX5 knockdown (si-PRDX5), the anti-inflammation effects of HSBD, including reversing LPS-induced increase in the nitric oxide level and reduction in the hydrogen peroxide content, were attenuated. Thus, HSBD protected A549 cells from LPS-induced inflammation mainly by targeting PRDX5. Conclusions: Huashi Baidu formula alleviates ALI by targeting nuclear factor κB/phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase and PRDX5, as well as inhibiting the immune response induced by IL-17.

ObjectiveTo explore the effect of core stability training on dynamic balance and surface electromyography (sEMG) after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR), and to analyze the correlation between balance index and sEMG. MethodsFrom March to December, 2022, 32 patients with ACLR in Yantai Affiliated Hospital of Binzhou Medical University were randomly divided into control group (n = 16) and experimental group (n = 16). The control group accepted routine rehabilitation treatment, and the experimental group added core stability training, for six weeks. They were evaluated with American Hospital for Special Surgery Knee Score (HSS) and International Knee Documentation Committee Knee Score (IKDC), and the dynamic balance function and sEMG were measured before and after treatment, and the correlation between dynamic balance index and root mean square (RMS) of sEMG was analyzed. ResultsAfter treatment, the scores of HSS and IKDC increased significantly in both groups (|Z| > 3.526, |t| > 63.544, P < 0.001), and were better in the experimental group than in the control group (Z = -2.392, t = 2.650, P < 0.05); the length of gait line and single support line increased significantly, the medial-lateral displacement displacement decreased (|t| > 2.368, Z = -3.516, P < 0.05), and they were better in the experimental group than in the control group (|t| > 2.497, Z = -3.091, P < 0.05); the RMS of gluteus maximus and gluteus medius increased in the experimental group (t = -5.900, Z = -2.741, P < 0.01), and were better than those in the control group (t = 3.930, Z = -3.260, P < 0.01). After treatment, the RMS of gluteus maximus and gluteus medius in both groups were positively correlated with gait line length and single support line length, and were negatively correlated with medial-lateral displacement (|r| > 0.502, P < 0.01). ConclusionCore stability training could significantly improve knee joint function and dynamic balance, and enhance the activation of gluteus maximus and gluteus medius. Dynamic balance is highly correlated with sEMG.

OBJE CTIVE To establish a method for quality evaluation of Xin ’an capsule by combining fingerprint ， multi-component quantitative analysis and chemical pattern recognition analysis. METHODS High performance liquid chromatography（HPLC）combined with Similarity Evaluation System of TCM Chromatogram Fingerprint （2012 edition）were used to establish the fingerprints of 24 batches of Xin ’an capsules and evaluate the similarity. The common peaks were determined. The contents of glucosylvitexin ，rhamnosylvitexin，vitexin，hyperoside and isoquercetin in Xin ’an capsules were determined by the same HPLC method. Taking the common peak area of fingerprint as the variable ，MetaboAnalyst 5.0 tool was used to draw the cluster analysis （CA）heat map. SIMCA 14.1 software was used to perform principle component analysis （PCA）and partial least squares-discriminant analysis （PLS-DA）. RESULTS Twelve common peaks were identified with the similarity greater than 0.97. Six common peaks were identified as chlorogenic acid ，glucosylvitexin，rhamnosylvitexin，vitexin，hyperoside and isoquercetin.The linear range of glucosylvitexin ，rhamnosylvitexin，vitexin， hyperoside and isoquercetin were 2.36-151.35，9.15-585.20， 1.20-76.50， 0.68-43.20， 0.44-27.90 µg/mL（all r＞0.999）.RSDs of precision ，repeatability and stability （24 h）tests were 163.com all less than 2.00％ . The average recoveries were 95.80％（RSD＝0.96％ ，n＝6），102.10％ （RSD＝0.93％ ，n＝6）， 103.26％（RSD＝1.28％，n＝6），103.89％（RSD＝0.73％，n＝6） and 102.09％（RSD＝1.79％，n＝6），respectively. The contents of the five components were 0.988 8-1.559 1，4.336 6-11.220 1， 0.065 1-0.830 5，0.043 8-0.692 5 and 0.023 2-0.427 2 mg/grain，respectively. The results of CA and PCA showed that 24 batches of samples could be divided into three categories ，i.e. S 1-S15，S16-S18 and S 19-S24. PLS-DA showed that variable importance in projection values of the corresponding component of peak 6 and glucosylvitexin （peak 7），rhamnosylvitexin（peak 8），hyperoside （peak 10） and isoquercetin （peak 11） were greater than 1. CONCLUSIONS The established HPLC fingerprint and multi-component quantitative method are simple and feasible. Combined with chemical pattern recognition analysis ，it can be used for the quality control of Xin ’an capsules. Glucosylvitexin ，rhamnosylvitexin and other components may be differentital markers affecting the quality of each batch of samples.
