ObjectiveTo explore the effect and mechanism of Taishan Panshi powder (TSPSP) on inhibiting oxidative stress injury in human chorionic trophoblast cells (HTR-8/SVneo), and to uelucidate the underlying mechanism of TSPSP in the treatment of spontaneous abortion (SA). MethodsGene differential analysis of SA was performed using the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database and correlated with oxidative stress. Network pharmacology was employed to screen the active components of TSPSP, and a "Chinese medicine-component-target-disease" network was constructed to predict the mechanism of action of TSPSP. For in vitro validation experiments, HTR-8/SVneo cells were divided into blank group, model group, TSPSP-containing serum 2.5%, 5%, 10% groups, and nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) inhibitor group (ML385, 30 μmol·L-1). Except for the blank group, other groups were stimulated with 150 μmol·L-1 H2O2 for 3 h to establish a cell oxidative stress injury model. After successful modeling, the blank group and model group were given 10% blank serum, each TSPSP-containing serum group was treated with the corresponding concentration of drug-containing serum, and the Nrf2 inhibitor group was additionally given 30 μmol·L-1 ML385 on the basis of 10% TSPSP-containing serum. All groups of cells were continuously cultured under the above conditions for 24 h, and then samples were collected for subsequent detection. Cell viability in each group was detected by CCK-8 assay. Cell migration rate was detected by scratch test. The contents of malondialdehyde (MDA), Fe2+, and Glutathione (GSH) were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) level was detected by a fluorescent probe (DCF-DA). The protein and mRNA expression levels of Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (KEAP1), Nrf2, and forkhead box protein O3 (FoxO3) in cells were detected by immunofluorescence (IF) and real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR). The protein expression levels of KEAP1, Nrf2, FoxO3, Glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4), and superoxide dismutase (SOD) in cells were detected by Western blot. ResultsThe GSE76862 and GSE22490 datasets were obtained from the GEO database. Differential gene analyses showed that the KEAP1, Nrf2, and FoxO3 genes were all associated with the disease. After matching with the oxidative stress pathway, nine significantly differential pathways were identified (P<0.05), among which three contained the target genes Nrf2 and FoxO3. A total of 246 active ingredient targets of TSPSP and 2 804 SA-related targets were obtained through network pharmacology, and 154 potential action targets were obtained after taking the intersection. Topological analysis showed that targets such as KEAP1 and Nrf2 exhibited high degree values. GO and KEGG enrichment analyses indicated that the intersection targets were mainly involved in oxidative stress response, FOXO and MAPK signaling pathways, etc. In in vitro experiments, compared with the blank group, the cell viability in the model group was significantly decreased (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the cell viability in each TSPSP-containing serum group was significantly increased (P<0.01). Compared with the 10% TSPSP-containing serum group, the cell viability in the ML385 group decreased to approximately 70% (P<0.01). Compared with the blank group, the model group showed significantly increased contents of MDA, Fe2+, and ROS, decreased GSH expression (P<0.01), significantly reduced cell migration rate (P<0.01), and increased protein and mRNA expression levels of KEAP1 and FoxO3 (P<0.01), while decreased protein and mRNA expression levels of Nrf2, GPX4, and SOD (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, each TSPSP-containing serum group showed significantly decreased contents of MDA, Fe²⁺, and ROS, increased GSH expression (P<0.01), significantly increased migration rate (P<0.01), significantly decreased protein and mRNA expression levels of KEAP1 and FoxO3 (P<0.05, P<0.01), and significantly increased protein and mRNA expression levels of Nrf2, GPX4, and SOD (P<0.05, P<0.01). Compared with the 10% TSPSP-containing serum group, the ML385 group showed reversed trends in all indicators (P<0.05, P<0.01). ConclusionTSPSP can inhibit H2O2-induced oxidative stress injury of trophoblast cells, and its mechanism of action may be related to the drug activating the KEAP1/Nrf2/FoxO3 signaling pathway.

ObjectiveTo explore the effect of oral sodium butyrate on skeletal muscle atrophy in CT26 tumor mice through the gut microbiota-skeletal muscle axis and its potential mechanism. MethodsSixty SPF BALB/c male mice aged 8 weeks were randomly divided into a normal control group (NC, n=18) and a ABX-depleted group (ABX, n=42). The ABX mice were pretreated with a quadruple antibiotic cocktail via oral gavage (0.2 ml per administration, once daily, 6 d per week, for 2 weeks), whereas NC received an equal volume of sterile water. The quadruple antibiotic cocktail consisted of metronidazole (1 g/L), vancomycin (0.5 g/L), ampicillin (1 g/L), and gentamicin (1 g/L). Following successful pretreatment, six mice from each group were randomly selected for gut microbiota sequencing analysis and designated as the Abx group and the NC0 group, respectively. Theremaining mice in ABX were subcutaneously inoculated in the dorsum with 0.2 ml of CT26 cell suspension (at a cell density of 1×107/ml). Then these mice were randomly allocated into three subgroups: a control tumor bearing model group (0_NaB, n=12), a tumor-bearing model group receiving low-dose oral sodium butyrate (L_NaB, n=12), a tumor-bearing model group receiving high-dose oral sodium butyrate (H_NaB, n=12). And mice in NC were inoculated at the same site with 0.2 ml of normal saline. The administration dose for L_NaB was 0.3 g/(kg·d), that for H_NaB was 0.5 g/(kg·d), while NC and 0_NaB were given the same volume of normal saline (0.2ml per time, once daily, 6 d per week, for 4 weeks). The general condition of mice was monitored, and forelimb grip strength gastrocnemius muscle mass and its muscle fiber cross-sectional area were measured for each group. The structural changes in gut microbiota were assessed by 16S rRNA sequencing of cecal contents. Pathological alterations in the intestinal wall were examined via HE staining. Serum and gastrocnemius muscle levels of TNF‑α, IL-6, IL-1β, and LPS were quantified using ELISA. The protein expression of ZO-1 and occludin in the small intestine, as well as proteins associated with the TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB signaling pathway in the gastrocnemius muscle, were detected by Western blot analysis. Results(1) The alpha-diversity in Abx was significantly lower than that in NC0 (P<0.01), a significant decrease of the mass and muscle fiber cross-sectional area of the gastrocnemius (P<0.01), with the majority of gut microbiota being effectively depleted. (2) Compared with NC, the subcutaneous tumors of mice in 0_NaB were prominent, a significant increase of the mass and muscle fiber cross-sectional area of the gastrocnemius, accompanied by a significant decrease in body weight at the end of the 3th and 4th week (P<0.05), and a significant weakening of the forelimb grasping strength at the 5th and 6th week (P<0.01). Compared with 0_NaB, the tumor mass of mice in L_NaB and H_NaB showed a significant decreasing trend, and the grip strength of the forelimbs significantly increased at the 5th and 6th week (P<0.05, P<0.01). (3) Compared with 0_NaB, the Shannon and Observed species indices in α diversity of L_NaB and H_NaB were significantly increased (P<0.05). At the genus level, compared with 0_NaB, L_NaB exhibited a significant decrease in the relative abundance of Parasutterella (P< 0.01), while H_NaB showed significant reductions in the relative abundances of both Escherichia-Shigella and Parasutterella (P < 0.01). (4) Compared with 0_NaB, the small intestinal tissue structure in L_NaB and H_NaB was more intact, the infiltration of inflammatory cells was significantly reduced, and the capillaries were slightly dilated. The expression levels of ZO-1 and occludin proteins in L_NaB were significantly increased (P<0.01). (5) The LPS concentration in the gastrocnemius muscle and the protein expression levels of TLR4, MyD88, p-IκBα, and p-NF‑κB p65 in L_NaB and H_NaB were significantly lower than those in 0_NaB (P<0.05). The serum TNF‑α concentration in H_NaB and TNF-α concentration in the gastrocnemius muscle of the L_NaB and H_NaB were significantly lower than those in 0_NaB (P<0.05, P<0.01, P<0.01). ConclusionOral administration of NaB can improve gut microbiota α diversity, adjusting its composition, improving intestinal mucosal barrier function, reducing the LPS-induced pro-inflammatory response, and delaying skeletal muscle atrophy. The underlying mechanism may involve down regulation of TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB signaling in skeletal muscle.

Functional dyspepsia (FD) is a prioritized disease category where traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) demonstrates distinct therapeutic advantages. The current western medicine treatment for FD is mainly based on proton pump inhibitors and prokinetic agents, with digestive enzymes, probiotics and antidepressants serving as adjuvant medication, yet such therapies still have certain limitations. TCM treatment for FD includes oral administration of Chinese herbal formulas and Chinese patent medicines, as well as external TCM therapies such as acupuncture and moxibustion, acupoint application, hot medicinal compress therapy, rubbing with ointment, medicinal iontophoresis, auricular acupoint therapy and tui na (Chinese medical massage). The combined treatment of FD with integrated TCM and western medicine can significantly improve clinical effectiveness and reduce adverse reactions. The common mechanisms underlying the therapeutic effects of both TCM and western medicine revolve around the core pathological processes of FD, mainly focusing on restoring gastrointestinal motility, regulating the levels of brain-gut peptides, modulating intestinal microecology, and ameliorating inflammatory status. The differential mechanisms lie in the precise targeting feature of western medicine versus the holistic-regulating and multi-target characteristics of TCM, and the two approaches exert a synergistic effect to enhance efficacy. This paper proposes to leverage the advantages of TCM in holistic regulation and the strengths of western medicine in targeted treatment, so as to provide personalized and comprehensive treatment regimens for FD patients.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the equivalence of different decoction processes based on rat model of hypertension with liver-yang hyperactivity. METHODS Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) was used to compare the dissolution differences of inorganic elements in the powder-directly-decocted decoction versus the pieces-decocted-first decoction of Ostreae Concha- Haliotidis Concha- Margaritifera Concha drug pair. Six SD rats were included in the normal group. The spontaneously hypertensive rats were given Aconite decoction for six weeks to induce the hypertension model with liver-yang hyperactivity. After successful modeling, 48 rats were randomly divided into the model group, the captopril group [positive control, 8 mL/(kg·d) ] , as well as low-, medium-, and high-dose groups of pieces decocted first or directly powder decocted [2.02, 4.05, 8.10 mL/(kg·d) ] , with 6 rats in each group. Each group received the corresponding drug or equal volume of pure water intragastrically, once a day, for two consecutive weeks. After the last administration, the degree of irritability, facial temperature, pressure pain threshold, blood pressure, and pathological changes of the thoracic aorta were observed in each group. Serum nitric oxide (NO) and plasma angiotensin Ⅱ (Ang Ⅱ), renin, and aldosterone (ALD) levels were also measured. RESULTS ICP-MS analysis results showed statistically significant differences in the contents of macroelements Li, Na, Mg, Ca, Mn, Ga, Sr, Mo, Cd, Sn, and Sb, between the powder-directly-decocted decoction and the pieces-decocted-first decoction ( P <0.05) ,the elements P, Cr, Fe, Ni, Zn, Hg, Tl, and Pb were not detected in either decoction. Animal experiments showed that after two weeks of administration, compared with the model group, the facial temperature, and blood pressure decreased in all treatment groups, while the pressure pain threshold increased; plasma levels of Ang Ⅱ, renin and ALD, as well as the serum level of NO were all decreased, and thoracic aortic media thickness was significantly reduced, most of the differences in the above indicators were statistically significant ( P <0.05 or P <0.01 or P <0.001). Pathological observation showed improvement in thoracic aortic pathological injury. CONCLUSIONS The powder-directly-decocted process for the Ostreae Concha- Haliotidis Concha- Margaritifera Concha drug pair significantly promotes the dissolution of key elements such as Ca, Mg, and Sr without increasing the dissolution of harmful elements. It is equivalent to the traditional pieces-decocted-first in alleviating liver-yang hyperactivity syndrome, lowering blood pressure, and protecting the vascular endothelium, and even shows better performance in some indicators.

Drug repurposing offers a promising alternative to traditional drug development and significantly re-duces costs and timelines by identifying new therapeutic uses for existing drugs.However,the current approaches often rely on limited data sources and simplistic hypotheses,which restrict their ability to capture the multi-faceted nature of biological systems.This study introduces adaptive multi-view learning(AMVL),a novel methodology that integrates chemical-induced transcriptional profiles(CTPs),knowledge graph(KG)embeddings,and large language model(LLM)representations,to enhance drug repurposing predictions.AMVL incorporates an innovative similarity matrix expansion strategy and leverages multi-view learning(MVL),matrix factorization,and ensemble optimization techniques to integrate heterogeneous multi-source data.Comprehensive evaluations on benchmark datasets(Fdata-set,Cdataset,and Ydataset)and the large-scale iDrug dataset demonstrate that AMVL outperforms state-of-the-art(SOTA)methods,achieving superior accuracy in predicting drug-disease associations across multiple metrics.Literature-based validation further confirmed the model's predictive capabilities,with seven out of the top ten predictions corroborated by post-2011 evidence.To promote transparency and reproducibility,all data and codes used in this study were open-sourced,providing resources for pro-cessing CTPs,KG,and LLM-based similarity calculations,along with the complete AMVL algorithm and benchmarking procedures.By unifying diverse data modalities,AMVL offers a robust and scalable so-lution for accelerating drug discovery,fostering advancements in translational medicine and integrating multi-omics data.We aim to inspire further innovations in multi-source data integration and support the development of more precise and efficient strategies for advancing drug discovery and translational medicine.

Objective:To explore the impact of metabolic syndrome in conjunction with hyperuricemia on the risk of new-onset cardiovascular disease.Methods:This study was a prospective cohort study. From June 2006 to October 2007, employees of Kailuan Group in Tangshan City, Hebei Province were selected as the research subjects. Participants were divided into four groups based on the presence or absence of metabolic syndrome and hyperuricemia. The groups include the normal group, pure hyperuricemia group, pure metabolic syndrome group, and the metabolic syndrome combined with hyperuricemia group. Four groups of participants were followed up, the primary endpoint was the occurrence of a first-ever cardiovascular disease event, including stroke and myocardial infarction. The cumulative incidence rates of cardiovascular disease in different groups during the continuous follow-up period were calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method, and the differences in cumulative incidence rates among groups were compared using the log-rank test. Multivariate Cox regression analysis was used to analyze the effect of hyperuricemia combined with metabolic syndrome on the risk of cardiovascular disease. The likelihood ratio test was used to analyze whether there was a multiplicative interaction and additive interaction between hyperuricemia and metabolic syndrome.Results:A total of 82 780 individuals were included, aged (51.5±12.6) years, and 68 622 (82.90%) were males, with a median follow-up of 14.97 years. Kaplan-Meier survival curve analysis showed that the cumulative incidence of cardiovascular disease was the highest in the metabolic syndrome combined with hyperuricemia group (log-rank P<0.001). Multivariate Cox regression analysis indicated that after adjusting for various confounding factors, the HR value and 95% CI of cardiovascular disease in the metabolic syndrome combined with hyperuricemia group were 1.24 (1.12-1.38) compared with the normal group, which were higher than those in the pure hyperuricemia group and the pure metabolic syndrome group alone. The effect of metabolic syndrome combined with hyperuricemia on the risk of cardiovascular disease demonstrated an additive effect (relative excess risk of interaction: 0.18(0.11-0.25), attributable proportion due to interaction: 0.14(0.09-0.19)). Conclusions:The combination of hyperuricemia and metabolic syndrome is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Compared to pure metabolic syndrome or hyperuricemia alone, the impact of metabolic syndrome combined with hyperuricemia on cardiovascular disease is more significant.

Objective:To investigate the impact of coronary angiography-derived index of microcirculatory resistance (caIMR) on the long-term prognosis of patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) undergoing elective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).Methods:The study was a retrospective cohort study conducted at a single centre. Patients who successfully underwent elective PCI with pre-and post-PCI caIMR measurements in Peking University First Hospital between August 2013 and December 2020 were included. Then patients were categorised into three groups based on pre-and post-PCI caIMR: post-PCI caIMR<25 U group, pre-PCI caIMR<25 U and post-PCI caIMR≥25 U group, and both pre-and post-PCI caIMR≥25 U group. Collected clinical data of patients, including comorbid diabetes mellitus.The primary endpoint was a composite endpoint, defined as a composite of all-cause death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, and any revascularisation. The association between caIMR-based groupings and clinical outcomes was analysed using Cox proportional hazards regression models.Results:A total of 625 patients who underwent successful elective PCI were included in the study, among whom 294 (47.0%) had stable angina. The age was (64.5±10.1) years, and 440 (70.4%) patients were male. Over a median follow-up of 3.69 (1.80, 5.80) years, 122 patients (19.5%) experienced composite endpoint events. Post-PCI caIMR≥25 U in combination with diabetes mellitus was associated with an increased risk of the composite endpoint compared to those with post-PCI caIMR<25 U and without diabetes mellitus (adjusted HR=2.13, 95% CI 1.17-3.88, P=0.014). In the combined analysis, compared with post-PCI caIMR<25 U group, those with both pre-and post-PCI caIMR≥25 U had higher risks of composite endpoint (adjusted HR=2.01, 95% CI 1.18-3.43, P=0.010) and any revascularisation (adjusted HR=2.12, 95% CI 1.17-3.84, P=0.013). The pre-PCI caIMR<25 U and post-PCI caIMR≥25 U group showed no statistically significant differences in any of the endpoints compared to post-PCI caIMR<25 U group. Conclusions:Integrated pre-and post-procedural assessment of caIMR may enhance risk stratification in patients with coronary heart disease. Persistent coronary microvascular dysfunction present both before and after PCI, as measured by caIMR, serves as an independent risk factor for adverse events in patients with coronary heart disease undergoing elective PCI.
