ObjectiveTo investigate the mechanism of action of Kaixinsan in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD) based on network pharmacology, molecular docking, and animal experimental validation. MethodsThe Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database and Analysis Platform(TCMSP) and the Encyclopedia of Traditional Chinese Medicine(ETCM) databases were used to obtain the active ingredients and targets of Kaixinsan. GeneCards, Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man(OMIM), TTD, PharmGKB, and DrugBank databases were used to obtain the relevant targets of AD. The intersection (common targets) of the active ingredient targets of Kaixinsan and the relevant targets of AD was taken, and the network interaction analysis of the common targets was carried out in the STRING database to construct a protein-protein interaction(PPI) network. The CytoNCA plugin within Cytoscape was used to screen out the core targets, and the Metascape platform was used to perform gene ontology(GO) functional enrichment analysis and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes(KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis. The “drug-active ingredient-target” interaction network was constructed with the help of Cytoscape 3.8.2, and AutoDock Vina was used for molecular docking. Scopolamine (SCOP) was utilized for modeling and injected intraperitoneally once daily. Thirty-two male C57/BL6 mice were randomly divided into blank control (CON) group (0.9% NaCl, n=8), model (SCOP) group (3 mg·kg-1·d-1, n=8), positive control group (3 mg·kg-1·d-1 of SCOP+3 mg·kg-1·d-1 of Donepezil, n=8), and Kaixinsan group (3 mg·kg-1·d-1 of SCOP+6.5 g·kg-1·d-1 of Kaixinsan, n=8). Mice in each group were administered with 0.9% NaCl, Kaixinsan, or Donepezil by gavage twice a day for 14 days. Morris water maze experiment was used to observe the learning memory ability of mice. Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining method was used to observe the pathological changes in the CA1 area of the mouse hippocampus. Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) was used to determine the serum acetylcholine (ACh) and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) contents of mice. Western blot method was used to detect the protein expression levels of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3(STAT3) and nuclear transcription factor(NF)-κB p65 in the hippocampus of mice. ResultsA total of 73 active ingredients of Kaixinsan were obtained, and 578 potential targets (common targets) of Kaixinsan for the treatment of AD were screened out. Key active ingredients included kaempferol, gijugliflozin, etc.. Potential core targets were STAT3, NF-κB p65, et al. GO functional enrichment analysis obtained 3 124 biological functions, 254 cellular building blocks, and 461 molecular functions. KEGG pathway enrichment obtained 248 pathways, mainly involving cancer-related pathways, TRP pathway, cyclic adenosine monophosphate(cAMP) pathway, and NF-κB pathway. Molecular docking showed that the binding of the key active ingredients to the target targets was more stable. Morris water maze experiment indicated that Kaixinsan could improve the learning memory ability of SCOP-induced mice. HE staining and ELISA results showed that Kaixinsan had an ameliorating effect on central nerve injury in mice. Western blot test indicated that Kaixinsan had a down-regulating effect on the levels of NF-κB p65 phosphorylation and STAT3 phosphorylation in the hippocampal tissue of mice in the SCOP model. ConclusionKaixinsan can improve the cognitive impairment function in SCOP model mice and may reduce hippocampal neuronal damage and thus play a therapeutic role in the treatment of AD by regulating NF-κB p65, STAT3, and other targets involved in the NF-κB signaling pathway.

Autism spectrum disorder(ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder, and social impairment was one of the core symptoms of ASD, which can seriously affects the social life of patients.The pathogenesis of social impairment in ASD is unclear and it may involves many brain abnormalities.The related theories and hypotheses are numerous and there is no unified conclusion. Studies have shown that the cerebellum has extensive connections with brain networks and is involved in the regulation of social cognition, but its role in ASD has not been fully emphasized.The structural and functional abnormalities of the cerebellar-cortex (CC) loop in ASD patients can lead to language communication disorders, empathy disorders, difficulties in interpreting social cues, abnormal social reward processing and emotional regulation disorders, which are closely related to ASD social impairment. Noninvasive brain stimulation of the superficial cerebellum can improve the abnormal CC circuit in ASD patients, and the cerebellum can be considered as a target for the treatment of social disorders in ASD in the future.Based on the clinical and basic researches on social impairment in ASD in recent years, this article reviews the relevant manifestations of disorders which cerebellar and CC circuit involved, aiming to promote the development of related research in the future.

As the incidence of autism rises annually,its unknown pathogenesis makes it challenging to treat the varied repetitive and stereotyped behaviors that characterize its core symptoms.The striatum is an important brain region for the control of locomotor behaviors,featuring a unique mosaic structure,complex neural origin,and finely regulated developmental process that is highly susceptible to genetic and environmental influences.Both clinical and basic studies have indicated that abnormal development of the striatal nuclei may contribute to the pathogenesis of these repetitive stereotyped behaviors in autism.Clinical imaging data have primarily identified gross anatomical variations in the stratum(e.g.,its general outline),but lack the resolution necessary to detect the cellular and subcellular alterations within the region.By introducing the abnormalities in the spatiotemporal development of the striatum and their links to the characteristic behaviors of autism,this review aims to advance our understanding of the role of the striatum in autism pathogenesis and to inform future animal studies and clinical research.

Objective To compare the efficacy and safety of defocus incorporated soft contact lenses(DISC)and orthokeratology(Ortho-K)for myopia control in children aged 8~15 years,and to further investigate the influence of dif-ferent baseline age and spherical equivalent(SE)on the treatment effect.Methods A retrospective cohort study was conducted,involving 197 myopic children(197 eyes)aged 8~15 years who were fitted with contact lenses at the Depart-ment of Ophthalmology,Xi'an People's Hospital(Xi'an Fourth Hospital)from May to September 2023.They were divid-ed into the DISC group(97 cases)and the Ortho-K group(100 cases).After 12 months of continuous follow-up,the chan-ges in axial length(AL)at 3,6,and 12 months after lens wear were compared between the two groups.Subgroup analysis was then performed:participants were divided into a younger subgroup(8~10 years)and an older subgroup(11~15 years)based on pre-wear age,and into a low myopia subgroup(-1.00~-3.00 D)and a moderate myopia subgroup(-3.25~-6.00 D)based on pre-wear SE.The AL changes at 3,6,and 12 months after wearing DISC or Ortho-K were com-pared between groups within these subgroups.Meanwhile,the incidence of conjunctivitis,incidence of corneal staining,corneal endothelial cell density,and corneal thickness were compared between the two groups at 12 months after lens wear.Results Inter-group comparisons showed:The change in AL in the DISC group at 3 months after lens wear was significantly lower than that in the Ortho-K group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05);at 6 and 12 months after lens wear,the differences in AL change between the two groups were not statistically significant(both P>0.05).Subgroup analysis by age and SE showed:In the younger subgroup and the low myopia subgroup,the AL change in the DISC group at 3 months after lens wear was significantly lower than that in the Ortho-K group,and the differences were statistically significant(both P<0.05),but these differences disappeared at 6 and 12 months after lens wear(all P>0.05);in the older subgroup and the moderate myopia subgroup,the differences in AL change between the two groups at 3,6,and 12 months after lens wear were not statistically significant(all P>0.05).At 12 months after lens wear,there were no statistically significant differences in the incidence of conjunctivitis,incidence of corneal staining,corneal endothe-lial cell density,or corneal thickness between the DISC and Ortho-K groups(all P>0.05).Conclusion DISC demon-strates superior myopia control efficacy in the short term(3 months)for younger children and those with low myopia,but its medium-term(6 months)and long-term(12 months)efficacy converges with that of Ortho-K.Furthermore,the long-term safety of DISC is not significantly different from that of Ortho-K.
