Objective: To elucidate the pharmacological material basis of Danggui Buxue Decoction for its "blood-tonifying" effect through spectrum-effect relationship analysis.
Methods: The chemical constituents of Danggui Buxue Decoction were qualitatively analyzed using liquid chromatography-quadrupole-orbitrap mass spectrometry (LC-QE/MS). An ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) fingerprint of Danggui Buxue Decoction was established, and the common peaks of 30 batches of self-made Danggui Buxue Decoction were quantitatively analyzed. A zebrafish anemia model induced by phenylhydrazine was established, and the spectrum-effect relationship analysis method was applied to correlate the pharmacological data of 30 batches of Danggui Buxue Decoction with the fingerprint data to screen for its pharmacological material basis.
Results: A total of 90 prototype components were identified in the qualitative analysis of Danggui Buxue Decoction. The UPLC fingerprint of Danggui Buxue Decoction and the zebrafish anemia model were successfully established. The spectrum-effect relationship analysis of the pharmacological data and fingerprint data of 30 batches of Danggui Buxue Decoction revealed that the pharmacological materials of Danggui Buxue Decoction included 4-guanidinobutanoic acid (from Astragalus), isoleucine (from wine-prepared Angelica), lauric acid (from wine-prepare Angelica), ferulic acid (from both wine-prepared Angelica and Astragalus), 6-methoxy-2H-chromen-2-one (from both wine-prepared Angelica and Astragalus), sophoraisoflavone glucoside (from both wine-prepared Angelica and Astragalus), and an unknown peak 8.
Conclusion: This study screened the pharmacological material basis of Danggui Buxue Decoction through qualitative and quantitative analysis of its prototype chemical constituents combined with spectrum-effect relationship analysis, providing scientific support for the clinical application and secondary development of this classic prescription.

Objective To investigate the antibody levels against measles, rubella, and mumps in infants aged 0-8 months in Shanghai, and construct a decay trend model, and to provide evidence for formulating prevention and control strategies. Methods Serum samples were collected from infants aged 0 - 8 months at a children's medical center in Shanghai. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to measure the IgG antibody levels against measles, rubella, and mumps. The antibody positive rates and antibody geometric mean concentration (GMC) in different age groups were analyzed. Results A total of 922 serum samples were collected. The GMC and positive rates for measles, rubella, and mumps antibodies were 2.11 (127.35 IU·L-1) and 39.70%; 0.89 (7.89 IU·mL-1) and 28.85%; and 1.89 (77.80 U·mL-1) and 41.43%, respectively. There were statistically significant differences in antibody levels and positive rates across different age groups. With the highest levels observed at 0 months, a rapid decline began at 3 months, reaching the lowest levels by 7 months. After the first dose of the MMR vaccine at 8 months, antibody levels increased. A negative correlation was observed between age and GMC for measles, rubella, and mumps antibodies, showing a linear decay trend. The models were as follows: Ŷmeasles = −0.151X + 2.602 (R2=0.91,P<0.001); Ŷrubella = −0.126X + 1.319(R2=0.98,P<0.001); Ŷmumps = −0.122X + 2.327 (R2=0.94,P<0.001). Conclusion The antibody levels for measles, rubella, and mumps in infants decline linearly with increasing age in months. The antibody levels in infants before 8 months of age primarily depend on maternal antibodies. It is recommended that MMR vaccination be promoted for women of childbearing age to enhance early passive immunity protection in infants.

Objective To investigate whether Danshen injection (DSI) can protect human brain organoids from oxidative stress damage by regulating the Nrf2 signaling pathway and its mechanism. Methods A Nrf2 plasmid was constructed, lentivirus was packaged and transfected into human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) to form a stable cell line. Brain organoids with Nrf2 overexpression (LV-Nrf2 group) and knockdown (sh-Nrf2 group) were constructed using kit. The transfection efficiency was verified by real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction. An oxidative stress injury model was established by inducing hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Intervention was performed either in combination or without DSI pre-treatment. Cell viability was detected by Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8), and the expression levels of Nrf2, malondialdehyde (MDA), interleukin (IL)-1β, sex-determining region Y-box protein 2 (SOX2) and neuronal-specific nuclear protein (NeuN) were detected by Western blot and immunofluorescence staining. Total RNA from human brain organoids was extracted for transcriptome sequencing and analysis. Results LV-Nrf2 group and sh-Nrf2 group brain organoid models were successfully constructed. The CCK-8 results determined that the oxidative stress model was established with 32 mmol/L H2O2 intervention conditions. The fluorescence expression of Nrf2 in LV-Nrf2 group was higher than that in control group, and the fluorescence expressions of MDA and IL-1β were lower than those in control group; sh-Nrf2 group showed a damage phenotype of low Nrf2 expression, high MDA and IL-1β expression (all P < 0.05). Compared with H2O2 group, the Nrf2 signal in DSI + H2O2 group was stronger, and the levels of MDA and IL-1β were lower. Among them, the protective effect of LV-Nrf2 was the most significant. H2O2 treatment could down-regulate the protein levels of Nrf2, SOX2 and NeuN, and DSI intervention could effectively reverse the downward trend of these indicators. Sh-Nrf2 could weaken the recovery effect of DSI on SOX2 and NeuN, while LV-Nrf2 could synergistically enhance the regulatory effect of DSI. Conclusions DSI may antagonize oxidative stress damage in human brain organoids through the Nrf2 signaling pathway, and maintaining the stability of the neural cell lineage is its core therapeutic characteristic.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of peritoneal dialysis (PD) in the treatment of acute kidney injury (AKI) in critically ill neonates.Methods:It was a retrospective study. The baseline characteristic data, PD protocols, PD catheter placement methods and clinical outcomes of AKI neonates who underwent PD in the General Hospital of Ningxia Medical University between July 2015 and December 2024 were collected and analyzed.Results:(1) Among the 8 neonates with AKI, gestational age was (30.38±6.02) weeks, and birth weight was 1 397.5 (839.0, 2 312.5) g, with 6 premature infants. The time from birth to AKI onset was 144 (48, 294) hours. The leading cause of AKI was sepsis (6/8). The treatment time of PD was (93.12±37.20) hours. (2) Renal function recovery: After PD treatment, urine output was significantly increased ( Z=-3.29, P<0.001), and serum creatinine was significantly decreased ( t=2.66, P=0.032). (3) Hyperkalemia: Six out of 8 patients presented with hyperkalemia, which significantly decreased after PD treatment ( t=3.37, P=0.008). (4) Acid-base balance:Five out of 8 neonates had metabolic acidosis, and 3 of 5 neonates achieved basically complete correction (including lactic acidosis). There was no statistically significant difference in acid-base balance indicators before and after PD treatment (all P>0.05). (5) PD-related complications: Two out of 8 patients experienced peritoneal dialysate leakage, and no other PD-related complications occurred. (6) Outcomes: The hospital stay was 27.0 (8.0, 57.5) days. Four out of 8 neonates survived, while the other 4 neonates died after withdrawal of treatment. The primary cause was multiple organ failure. Conclusions:PD is a safe and effective treatment for neonatal AKI, facilitating early renal recovery and correction of electrolyte and acid-base imbalances.
