ObjectiveThis paper aims to explore the in vitro anti-psoriasis activity and potential mechanism of Kangfuxin liquid (KFX liquid), providing experimental evidence for the anti-psoriasis effect of KFX liquid. MethodsFirstly, the uninduced human immortalized keratinocyte cells (HaCaT cells) were divided into seven groups, namely the control group and KFX liquid groups with different doses (5, 10, 20, 40, 80, 160 g·L-1). After being treated with different concentrations of KFX liquid, the effect of KFX liquid on the normal cell proliferation was detected by using the cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) method. Secondly, the uninduced HaCaT cells were divided into six groups, namely the control group and recombinant human interleukin-7A (rh-IL-7A) groups with different doses (5, 10, 50, 100, 120 g·L-1). After being treated with different concentrations of recombinant human interleukin-17A (rh IL-17A) liquid, the effect of rh IL-17A on cell proliferation was detected. The optimal induction concentration was screened. Then, normal HaCaT cells were divided into a control group and KFX liquid groups with different doses (5, 10, 20, 40, 80, 160 g·L-1). Except for the control group, the other groups established psoriasis cell models with the optimal induction concentration of rh IL-17A. After being treated with different concentrations of KFX liquid, the effects of KFX liquid on the psoriasis-like HaCaT cell proliferation were investigated. Finally, the uninduced HaCaT cells were divided into six groups, namely the control group, rh IL-17A group, methotrexate (MTX) group, and KFX liquid groups with different doses (20, 40, 80 g·L-1). Except for the control group, the other groups used the optimal induction concentration of rh IL-17A to establish psoriasis cell models. After being treated with different drugs, the cell migration levels were detected through scratch assays, and real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR) was used to detect the relative mRNA expression levels of Ki-67 antigen (Ki67), S100 calcium-binding protein A7 (S100A7), S100 calcium-binding protein A8 (S100A8), and S100 calcium-binding protein A9 (S100A9), thereby comprehensively evaluating the in vitro anti-psoriasis activity of KFX liquid. By detecting the relative mRNA expression levels of interleukin-1β (IL-1β), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and chemokine-20 (CXCL-20) inflammatory-related factors in psoriasis-like HaCaT cells and the protein expression levels of Janus kinase 3 (JAK3), phosphorylated Janus kinase 3 (p-JAK3), signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3), and phosphorylated signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (p-STAT3), the mechanism was explored. ResultsCompared with that of control group, when treated with 80 g·L-1 KFX liquid for 72 h (P<0.05) and at different times with 160 g·L-1 KFX liquid, the HaCaT cell proliferation activity was significantly affected (P<0.01), while the other concentrations of KFX liquid had no significant differences in cell morphology and cell proliferation activity at different times, indicating that the KFX liquid is relatively safe for HaCaT cells and has no obvious toxic side effects. Compared with that of control group, when treated with different concentrations of rh IL-17A for 24 h, the HaCaT cell proliferation activity was significantly enhanced, and the cell activity was the strongest when the concentration was 100 μg·L-1 (P<0.05), with a density close to 100% and intact cell morphology, indicating that 100 μg·L-1 is the optimal concentration for inducing HaCaT cell proliferation. The results of the KFX liquid treatment on rh IL-17A-induced psoriasis-like cells show that the KFX liquid not only effectively inhibits the rh IL-17A-induced psoriasis-like HaCaT cell proliferation activity (P<0.01), but also significantly reduces the migration ability of rh IL-17A-induced psoriasis-like HaCaT cells (P<0.01), and the relative mRNA expression levels of Ki67, S100A7, S100A8, and S100A9 (P<0.01). Moreover, the KFX liquid can significantly reduce the relative mRNA expression levels of IL-1β, IL-6, and CXCL-20 in rh IL-17A-induced psoriasis-like cells (P<0.01), and significantly inhibit the phosphorylation levels of JAK3 and STAT3 proteins (P<0.05, P<0.01). ConclusionThe KFX liquid has no obvious toxicity to uninduced HaCaT cells. It can inhibit rh IL-17A-induced psoriasis-like HaCaT cell proliferation, reduce the cell migration ability, and has good in vitro anti-psoriasis activity. Its action mechanism may be related to downregulating the expression levels of inflammation-related cytokines in the JAK3/STAT3 signaling pathway and inhibiting the phosphorylation levels of JAK3 and STAT3 proteins.

Anhedonia is one of the core features of major depressive disorder (MDD) and is associated with poor functional outcomes in MDD patients. Psychosocial functional recovery is an important goal for achieving MDD remission. Although longitudinal studies have found association between anhedonia and impaired psychosocial function, there is still a lack of neurobiological biomarkers that can indicate this relationship. In this review, brain structural and functional changes associated with anhedonia and impaired psychosocial function in MDD patients are reviewed from the perspective of magnetic resonance imaging. It finds that anhedonia and psychosocial dysfunction in MDD may share common neuroimaging changes, manifested in abnormal brain regions such as the nucleus accumbens, caudate nucleus, putamen nucleus, orbitofrontal cortex, insula, amygdala, anterior cingulate cortex, dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, superior parietal lobe, inferior frontal gyrus and temporal lobe. These findings help to better understand the pathophysiology of the disease and offer potential insights for developing new treatment strategies.
6.Balance of T Helper Cell 17 and T Regulatory Cell:A New Target for Obesity Treatment
Acta Medicinae Universitatis Scientiae et Technologiae Huazhong 2025;54(3):452-457
In the general state,Th17 cells can promote inflammatory responses,while Treg cells have anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory functions.In obesity individuals,the body is often in a chronic low-grade inflammatory state,and the Th17/Treg cell balance is disrupted,leading to an increase in the number and hyperfunction of Th17 cells and a decrease in the number and hypofunction of Treg cells,which exacerbates the development of obesity and related metabolic diseases.In this paper,the relationship between Th17/Treg cell balance and obesity,and the mechanism of Th17/Treg cell imbalance leading to the occur-rence and development of obesity are reviewed according to relevant research progress in recent years,with a view to exploring new targets for the treatment of obesity.

Objective To explore the pathological features of bronchiolar adenoma(BA)and its specific high-resolution computed tomography(HRCT)signs,and to differentiate BA from minimally invasive adenocarcinoma(MIA)using a non-invasive preoperative method.Methods A total of 80 patients with BA and 130 patients with MIA were retrospectively selected,and the clinical information and HRCT features were compared.All cases were divided into development set and test set at a 7︰3 ratio.Logistic regression analysis was used to screen the independent predictors of MIA and construct a model.Results There were significant differences in age,lobe distribution,density,vacuole sign,tumor-related vessels number(TVN),and distance to pleura(DTP)between BA and MIA patients(P<0.05).Age,density,TVN,DTP and long diameter were identified as independent predictors of MIA.A model was constructed,with area under the curve(AUC)of 0.887 and 0.884 in the development and test sets,respectively.Conclusion The model based on HRCT morphological features of BA and MIA demonstrates superior diagnostic performance compared to individual CT morphological features.
