Osteoporosis is a common senile bone metabolism disease, clinically characterized by decreased bone mass, destruction of bone microstructure, increased bone fragility, and easy fracture. It tends to occur in the elderly and postmenopausal women, seriously threatening the quality of life and physical and mental health of the elderly. At present, the treatment of osteoporosis is mainly based on oral western medicines, such as calcium, Vitamin D, and bisphosphonates. Still, there are drawbacks such as a long medication cycle and many adverse reactions. In recent years, due to the advantages of multi-component, multi-pathway, and multi-target, some traditional Chinese medicines and effective ingredients can regulate the osteogenic and osteoclastic differentiation process in both directions and are widely used in the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis. Hippophae rhamnoides is a commonly used herbal medicine, and its fruits are rich in flavonoids, polyphenols, fatty acids, vitamins, and trace elements, which have been proven to have a good anti-osteoporosis effect. Isorhamnetin is the main effective ingredient of Hippophae rhamnoides fruits, which has many pharmacological effects such as anti-inflammation, anti-oxidative stress, anti-aging, and anti-tumor. Studies have shown that isorhamnetin can participate in the regulation of bone metabolism and has a good anti-osteoporosis effect. However, the pharmacological effects and related mechanisms of isorhamnetin against osteoporosis have not been systematically summarized. Therefore, this paper reviewed the pharmacological effects and related mechanisms of isorhamnetin against osteoporosis by referring to relevant literature to provide more basis for the development and application of isorhamnetin.

ObjectiveTo investigate the distribution of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome elements in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients based on maximum body mass index (maxBMI) and explore their association with complication risks. MethodsA retrospective cross-sectional study was used to collect clinical data from hospitalized T2DM patients, extracting age, gender, smoking history, alcohol consumption history, duration of disease, HbA1c level, complications, and TCM syndromes, and extracting the syndrome elements of disease location and disease nature based on their TCM syndromes. MaxBMI was calculated by telephone survey of patients' self-reported maximum body weight; patients with maxBMI ≥24 kg/m2 were classified into spleen-heat syndrome group, and those with maxBMI <24 kg/m2 were classified into consumptive-heat syndrome group. The distribution of TCM syndrome types and syndrome elements of patients in the two groups were analysed. Then the propensity score matching method was used to balance the baseline characteristics between the two groups and compare the differences in the distribution of syndrome types and syndrome elements and the risk of macrovascular and microvascular complications between the two groups. ResultsAmong the 1178 T2DM patients, syndrome elements in spleen-heat patients (1034 cases) were primarily located in the spleen (351 cases, 33.95%), liver (240 cases, 23.21%), and stomach (139 cases, 13.44%), while in consumptive-heat patients (144 cases), they were concentrated in the spleen (57 cases, 39.58%), liver (34 cases, 23.61%), and kidneys (17 cases, 11.81%); regarding syndrome elements of disease nature, spleen-heat patients were predominantly characterized by qi deficiency (481 cases, 46.52%), phlegm (353 cases, 22.73%), and dampness (241 cases, 23.31%), whereas consumptive-heat patients showed more qi deficiency (84 cases, 58.33%) and yin deficiency (44 cases, 30.56%). After propensity score matching, 132 cases were included in each group, and no statistically significant differences were observed in the distribution of syndrome elements of disease location between the two groups (P>0.05), but the phlegm element was significantly more prevalent in spleen-heat patients than in consumptive-heat patients (P = 0.006). Regarding the risk of complications, spleen-heat patients had a significantly higher risk of developing macrovascular complications compared to consumptive-heat patients (OR=2.04, P=0.010), while no significant differences were found between groups in the occurrence of microvascular complications (P>0.05). ConclusionThe spleen-heat T2DM patients show a more frequent syndrome element of disease nature of phlegm, and a higher risk of developing macrovascular complications compared to consumptive-heat patients.

Accurate prediction of drug responses in cancer cell lines (CCLs) and transferable prediction of clinical drug responses using CCLs are two major tasks in personalized medicine. Despite the rapid advancements in existing computational methods for preclinical and clinical cancer drug response (CDR) prediction, challenges remain regarding the generalization of new drugs that are unseen in the training set. Herein, we propose a multimodal fusion deep learning (DL) model called drug-target and single-cell language based CDR (DTLCDR) to predict preclinical and clinical CDRs. The model integrates chemical descriptors, molecular graph representations, predicted protein target profiles of drugs, and cell line expression profiles with general knowledge from single cells. Among these features, a well-trained drug-target interaction (DTI) prediction model is used to generate target profiles of drugs, and a pretrained single-cell language model is integrated to provide general genomic knowledge. Comparison experiments on the cell line drug sensitivity dataset demonstrated that DTLCDR exhibited improved generalizability and robustness in predicting unseen drugs compared with previous state-of-the-art baseline methods. Further ablation studies verified the effectiveness of each component of our model, highlighting the significant contribution of target information to generalizability. Subsequently, the ability of DTLCDR to predict novel molecules was validated through in vitro cell experiments, demonstrating its potential for real-world applications. Moreover, DTLCDR was transferred to the clinical datasets, demonstrating satisfactory performance in the clinical data, regardless of whether the drugs were included in the cell line dataset. Overall, our results suggest that the DTLCDR is a promising tool for personalized drug discovery.

ObjectiveTo determine the optimal dose of Dachengqi Decoction (大承气汤, DCQD) for the treatment of acute intestinal obstruction (AIO) through a randomized, double-blind, dosage parallel controlled, multi-center clinical trial, and to providee evidence support for the reasonable dosage of DCQD in clinical practice. MethodsBased on the commonly used clinical dose of DCQD, three different groups were set up, including low-dose group which used Dahuang (Radix et Rhizoma Rhei) 12 g, Houpo (Cortex Magnoliae Officinalis) 9 g, Zhishi (Fructus Aurantii Immaturus) 9 g, and Mangxiao (Natrii Sulfas) 4.5 g, medium-dose group using Dahuang 36 g, Houpo 27 g, Zhishi 27 g, Mangxiao 13.5 g, and high-dose group using Dahuang 60 g, Houp0 45 g, Zhishi 45 g and Mangxiao 22.5 g. Initially, 149 AIO patients with Yangming (阳明) bowel excess syndrome were randomly assigned to three groups using a stratified randomization method, and both the patients and the doctors were blinded. In addition to conventional western medicine treatment, each group was given 12 bags of granules made from the raw herbs of DCQD at different doses, taken orally or injected through a gastric catheter once every 6 hours, 3 bags each time, for 3 consecutive days. After treatment, the indicators of the three groups of patients with primary AIO and non-primary AIO were evaluated respectively, and the full analysis set (FAS) and per-protocol set (PPS) were used for analysis. The primary outcomes were the time to recover voluntary bowel movements and voluntary flatulence. The secondary outcomes were the ideal rate of spontaneous defecation and the ideal rate of spontaneous flatus. The occurrence of adverse events during the study was recorded and analyzed using the safety analysis set (SS). ResultsA total of 91 patients with primary AIO and 58 patients with non-primary AIO were included in the FAS and SS analysis, while 80 primary AIO patients and 56 non-primary AIO patients were included in the PPS analysis. Both FAS and PPS analysis showed significant differences in the time to recover voluntary bowel movements and voluntary flatulence among primary AIO patients in different dose groups of DCQD (P<0.01), and the high- and medium-dose groups assumed less time than the low-dose group (P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the ideal rate of spontaneous defecation and spontaneous flatus among the three groups (P>0.05). And consistent results were seen in the non-primary AIO patients among the three groups. Five adverse events occurred in primary AIO patients (3 in the low-dose group, 1 in the medium-dose group, and 1 in the high-dose group), mainly manifested as abdominal distension and abdominal pain, and there was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of adverse events (P>0.05). No adverse events occurred in patients with non-primary AIO. ConclusionDCQD, as an effective treatment for patients with AIO, is commonly used at a medium dose for patients with primary AIO and at a high dose for patients with non-primary AIO. The therapeutic advantage is mainly reflected in the shorter time to recover spontaneous defecation and spontaneous flatulence and the improvement of intestinal function.

Background Salidroside (SAL) has a protective effect on multiple organ systems. Exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) in the atmosphere may lead to disruptions in gut microbiota and impact intestinal health. The regulatory effect of SAL on the gut microbiota of mice exposed to PM2.5 requires further investigation. Objective To evaluate gut microbiota disruption in mice after being exposed to PM2.5 and the potential effect of SAL. Methods Forty male C57BL/6 mice, aged 6 to 8 weeks, were randomly divided into four groups: a control group, an SAL group, a PM2.5 group, and an SAL+PM2.5 group, each containing 10 mice. In the SAL group and the SAL+PM2.5 group, the mice were administered SAL (60 mg·kg−1) by gavage, while in the control group and the PM2.5 group, sterile saline (10 mL·kg−1) was administered by gavage. In the PM2.5 group and the SAL+PM2.5 group, PM2.5 suspension (8 mg·kg−1) was intratracheally instilled, and in the control group and SAL group, sterile saline (1.5 mL·kg−1) was intratracheally administered. Each experiment cycle spanned 2 d, with a total of 10 cycles conducted over 20 d. Histopathological changes in the ileum tissue of the mice were observed after HE staining. Colon contents were collected for gut microbiota sequencing and short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) measurements. Results The PM2.5 group showed infiltration of inflammatory cells in the ileum tissue, while the SAL+PM2.5 group exhibited only a small amount of inflammatory cell infiltration. Compared to the control group, the PM2.5 group showed decreased Shannon index (P<0.05) and increased Simpson index (P<0.05), indicating that the diversity of gut microbiota in this group was decreased; the SAL+PM2.5 group showed increased Shannon index compared to the PM2.5 group (P<0.05) and decreased Simpson index (P<0.05), indicating that the diversity of gut microbiota in mice intervened with SAL was increased. The principal coordinates analysis (PCoA) revealed a significant separation between the PM2.5 group and the control group, while the separation trend was less evident among the control group, the SAL group, and the SAL+PM2.5 group. The unweighted pair-group method with arithmetic means (UPGMA) clustering tree results showed that the control group and the SAL group clustered together first, followed by clustering with the SAL+PM2.5 group, and finally, the three groups clustered with the PM2.5 group. The PCoA and UPGMA clustering results indicated that the uniformity and similarity of the microbiota in the PM2.5 group were significantly decreased. Compared to the control group, the PM2.5 group showed decreased abundance of phylum Bacteroidetes and Candidatus_Saccharimonas (P<0.05) and increased abundance of phylum Proteobacteria, genus Escherichia, genus Bacteroides, genus Prevotella, genus Enterococcus, and genus Proteus (P<0.05). Compared to the PM2.5 group, the SAL+PM2.5 group showed decreased abundance of phylum Proteobacteria, phylum Actinobacteria, genus Prevotella, and genus Proteus (P<0.05), and increased abundance of Candidatus_Saccharimonas (P<0.05). The PM2.5 group showed reduced levels of propionic acid, valeric acid, and hexanoic acid compared to the control group (P<0.05), while the SAL+PM2.5 group showed increased levels of propionic acid, isobutyric acid, butyric acid, valeric acid, and hexanoic acid compared to the PM2.5 group (P<0.05). Conclusion Exposure to PM2.5 can cause pathological alterations, microbial dysbiosis, and disturbing production of SCFAs in intestinal tissue in mice. However, SAL can provide a certain degree of protective effect against these changes.

ObjectiveTo observe the apoptosis induced by paeoniflorin (PF) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells and explore its mechanism. MethodCell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) was used to detect the inhibition rates of H1299, H292 and A549 cells with different concentrations of PF (2.5, 5, 10, 20, 25 µmol·L-1), and to screen suitable concentrations of PF and experimental cells. The inhibitory effect of PF on lung cancer cells was detected by clone formation assay. The effect of PF on cell apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry with annexin V-FITC/propidium iodide (PI) double staining. With the right concentration of drugs, levels of apoptosis-associated protein B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2), Bcl-2-associated X protein (Bax), cleaved Caspase-3 and Caspase-3 were detected by Western blot. At the same time, the molecular expressions of hypoxia inducible factor -1α (HIF-1α) and Hippo signaling pathway were determined. ResultCompared with the blank group, PF significantly inhibited the growth of H1299, H292 and A549 cells of human lung cancer (P<0.01). PF significantly induced apoptosis in A549 cells (P<0.01), decreased the Bcl-2/Bax ratio (P<0.01), and significantly increased the cleaved Caspase-3 expression (P<0.01). Compared with those in the blank group, the expression levels of HIF-1α, transcriptional coactivator with PDZ-binding motif (TAZ), large tumor suppressor 1 (LATS1), Mps one binding 1 (MOB1) and Yes-associated protein (YAP) in A549 cells of the PF treatment group were significantly decreased (P<0.01), while the expressions of p-LATS1, p-MOB1 and p-YAP were significantly increased (P<0.01). At the same time, there was no significant effect on the expression levels of phosphorylated mammalian Ste20-like kinase 1 (p-MST1) and MST1, which did not reach a statistical difference. ConclusionAll data demonstrated that PF showed an anti-tumor effect by improving hypoxic conditions and inhibiting the abnormally activated Hippo signaling pathway, thereby inducing and promoting apoptosis in non-small cell lung cancer.

Cognitive dysfunction caused by blast traumatic brain injury (bTBI) is a serious neurological disease with high incidence, serious condition and poor prognosis. bTBI can lead to a series of symptoms such as short-term memory loss, inattention or multi-tasking difficulties. In severe cases, bTBI can develop into Alzheimer′s disease, which has a great impact on patients′ normal work and life. At present, researches on cognitive dysfunction caused by bTBI mainly involve model construction, pathogenesis, pathophysiological changes, diagnosis and treatment, etc., and the molecular mechanism of its occurrence remains to be further studied. Under normal physiological conditions, the release of excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmitters, the release and uptake of Ca 2+, oxidation and antioxidant systems, and the promotion and inhibition of apoptosis are in a dynamic balance. bTBI disturbs the balance, which will lead to the damage of nerve cells at the molecular level, thus resulting in the occurrence of cognitive dysfunction. To this end, the authors summarized the aspects of excitatory toxicity and Ca 2+homeostasis disorder, oxidative stress, inflammation and edema, apoptosis, etc., and reviewed the research progress on the molecular mechanism of cognitive dysfunction caused by bTBI, so as to provide a reference for the treatment and rehabilitation of cognitive dysfunction in patients with bTBI.
