ObjectiveTo investigate the therapeutic effects of Chaipo decoction on bronchial asthma in rats and its regulatory effects on the nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor pyrin domain-containing protein 3 （NLRP3）/cysteinyl aspartate-specific protease-1 （Caspase-1）/Gasdermin D （GSDMD） pathway， aiming to elucidate its mechanism in ameliorating pyroptosis. MethodsSixty male Sprague-Dawley （SD） rats were randomly divided into six groups （n=10 per group）： normal control， asthma model， Chaipo decoction low-dose （5.0 g·kg^-1）， medium-dose （10.0 g·kg^-1）， high-dose （20.0 g·kg^-1）， and dexamethasone （1.0 mg·kg^-1）. The asthma model was established in all groups except the normal control group via ovalbumin （OVA） sensitization and challenge. Rats in the Chaipo decoction groups received intragastric administration of Chaipo decoction at the corresponding doses， while the dexamethasone group was treated with dexamethasone. The normal and model groups were administered equivalent volumes of saline. After 14 days of intervention， asthma symptom scores were assessed. Dynamic lung compliance （Cdyn）， lung resistance （RL）， and functional residual capacity （FRC） were measured using a small animal pulmonary function testing system. Lung tissue pathology was evaluated by hematoxylin-eosin （HE）， Masson's trichrome， and periodic acid-Schiff （PAS） staining. Levels of interleukin （IL）-6， IL-1β， and IL-18 in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid （BALF） were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）. Expression of NLRP3 and apoptosis-associated speck-like protein （ASC） in lung tissues was assessed by immunohistochemistry （IHC）. Protein levels of NLRP3， Caspase-1， GSDMD， and other pyroptosis-related proteins were measured by Western blot. ResultsCompared with the normal group， the model group exhibited significantly increased asthma symptom scores， inflammatory scores， collagen deposition， PAS scores， RL， FRC， levels of IL-6， IL-1β， and IL-18 in BALF， and expression levels of NLRP3， ASC， and other pyroptosis-related proteins in lung tissue （P0.01）， while Cdyn was significantly decreased （P0.01）. Compared with the model group， all doses of Chaipo decoction markedly improved asthma symptoms， with significantly reduced symptom scores （P0.05， P0.01）. Pulmonary function analysis showed that medium and high doses of Chaipo decoction significantly increased Cdyn （P0.05， P0.01） and decreased RL and FRC （P0.05， P0.01）. Histopathological evaluation indicated that high-dose Chaipo decoction significantly reduced inflammatory scores， collagen deposition， and goblet cell hyperplasia in lung tissue （P0.05， P0.01）. ELISA results showed that all doses of Chaipo decoction significantly decreased IL-6， IL-1β， and IL-18 levels in BALF （P0.05， P0.01）. IHC and Western blot analyses demonstrated that medium and high doses of Chaipo decoction markedly downregulated NLRP3， ASC， and other pyroptosis-related proteins in lung tissue （P0.05， P0.01）. ConclusionChaipo decoction effectively improves pulmonary function and pathological damage in asthmatic rats， potentially by inhibiting the NLRP3/Caspase-1/GSDMD pathway and reducing pyroptosis.

The theory of five spirits(mind,eternal soul,corporeal soul,consciousness and will)is an important part of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)theory,which reveals the human mental and psychological activities.Five-spirit theory takes the shape of modern cognitive psychology.Language is an important part of cognitive activities.Under the guidance of the five-spirit theory of TCM,and by combining the research results of modern cognitive psychology,this paper initially constructs a language processing model,and proposes that heart-mind,spleen-consciousness,kidney-will,and liver-soul are all involved in the formation of language.Moreover,the pathogenesis of post-stroke aphasia(PSA)is explored from the perspective of the five spirits.It is proposed that PSA refers to the comorbidity of body and spirit,and its pathogenesis is related to the disorders of the five spirits.After analyzing the clinical manifestations of PSA,it is suggested that malnutrition of heart-mind and insufficient kidney-will contribute to the pathogenesis of auditory comprehension and reading obstacles in patients with PSA,and the deactivation of liver-soul is closely related to spontaneous speech and naming obstacles.The treatment of PSA should be focused on nourishing blood and tranquilizing mind,enhancing consciousness and strengthening will,and suppressing liver to tranquilize soul.And the prescriptions of Pingbu Zhenxin Pills,Zhiyi Decoction plus Dingzhi Pills,and Dinghun Decoction can be chosen for modified use.The acupuncture and moxibustion can also be used for PSA,by performance mainly on the acupoints of heart meridians,pericardial meridians,spleen meridians,kidney meridians and liver meridians.The syndrome differentiation and treatment system for PSA with the combination of Chinese medicine and acupuncture based on the five-spirit theory makes up for the shortcomings of stress on the physique while ignorance of the spirit in the conventional zang-fu organ syndrome differentiation,and expands the methods for early intervention of PSA with TCM and approaches to improve the prognosis of rehabilitation.

Irinotecan (CPT11) chemotherapy-induced diarrhea affects a substantial cancer population due to β-glucuronidase (Gus) converting 10-O-glucuronyl-7-ethyl-10-hydroxycamptothecin (SN38G) to toxic 7-ethyl-10-hydroxycamptothecin (SN38). Existing interventions primarily address inflammation and Gus enzyme inhibition, neglecting epithelial repair and Gus-expressing bacteria. Herein, we discovered that dehydrodiisoeugenol (DDIE), isolated from nutmeg, alleviates CPT11-induced intestinal mucositis alongside a synergistic antitumor effect with CPT11 by improving weight loss, colon shortening, epithelial barrier dysfunction, goblet cells and intestinal stem cells (ISCs) loss, and wound-healing. The anti-mucositis effect of DDIE is gut microbiota-dependent. Analysis of microbiome profiling data from clinical patients and CPT11-induced mucositis mice reveals a strong correlation between CPT11 chemotoxicity and Gus-expressing bacteria, particularly Enterococcus faecalis (E. faecalis). DDIE counters CPT11-induced augmentation of E. faecalis, leading to decreased intestinal Gus and SN38 levels. The Partial Least Squares Path Model (PLS-PM) algorithm initially links E. faecalis to dysregulated epithelial renovation. This is further validated in a 3D intestinal organoid model, in which both SN38 and E. faecalis hinder the formation and differentiation of organoids. Interestingly, colonization of E. faecalis exacerbates CPT11-induced mucositis and disturbs epithelial differentiation. Our study unveils a microbiota-driven, epithelial reconstruction-mediated action of DDIE against mucositis, proposing the 'Gus bacteria-host-irinotecan axis' as a promising target for mitigating CPT11 chemotoxicity.

Objective : To investigate the effects of immunoglobulin gene superfamily 10 (IGSF10) on prolifera- tion，migration and invasion of lung adenocarcinoma cells． Methods : ioinformatics was applied to study the ex- pression levels of IGSF10 in tumor tissues and normal tissues． Western blot and quantitative real-time PCR ( qPCR) were used to detect the expression level of IGSF10 in lung adenocarcinoma cell lines and normal lung epi- thelial cells．Knockdown of IGSF10，the effect of knockdown of IGSF10 on proliferation，migration and invasion of lung adenocarcinoma A549 cells was examined using cell counting kit-8 ( CCK-8) ，Transwell migration and inva- sion assay，scratch assay and plate cloning assay．The effects of knockdown of IGSF10 on the expression of invasion and migration-related genes in A549 cells were examined by Western blot and qPCR assays. Results : IGSF10 ex- pression in lung adenocarcinoma tissues was lower than that in normal tissues (P ＜0. 05) ．IGSF10 expression in lung adenocarcinoma cell lines was lower than that in lung epithelial cells (P＜0. 05) ．Knockdown of IGSF10 pro- moted the ability of lung adenocarcinoma A549 cells to proliferate ，proliferation ，migration and invasion ( P < 0. 05) ．Knockdown of IGSF10 promoted the expression of regulatory epithelial-mesenchymal transition marker Neu- ral-cadherin (N-cadherin) and key transcription factors Snail family transcriptional repressor 1 (Snail) and Snail family transcriptional repressor 2 (Slug) (P＜0. 05) and inhibited the expression of Epithelial-cadherin (E-cad- herin) (P＜0. 05) ． Conclusion Knockdown of IGSF10 may promote proliferation，migration and invasion of lung adenocarcinoma cells through activation of Snail，Slug / E-cadherin signaling axis，and this result may provide a po- tential new target for clinical diagnosis and treatment of lung adenocarcinoma.

This study was designed to explore the correlation between alterations in NLRP3 levels and Th17/Treg imbalance in asthmatic mice undergoing epithelial-mesenchymal transition(EMT).A murine model of asthma was established by intraperitoneal injection combined with nebulization of ovalbumin(OVA).Mice were randomly grouped into asthma model group and normal control group.The airway reactivity was detected with non-invasive lung function instrument.Hematoxylin and Eosin(HE)and Masson's trichrome staining were applied to evaluate the histopathological injury of lung tissue and the extent of lung fibrosis;RT-qPCR was applied to detect EMT-related biomarkers(Snail,E-Cadherin,N-Cadherin),the specific transcription factors of T cell subsets(RoRγt,Foxp3)and NLRP3 in lung tissue of mice;Western blot was used to detect the protein expression of E-cadherin,N-Cadherin and NLRP3 in lung tissue of mice.The Th17 and Treg cell populations in the spleen were enumerated via flow cytometry.Furthermore,the expression levels of NLRP3,IL-17 and IL-10 in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid(BALF)were analyzed by Giemsa staining.Compared with the control group,the asthma model group showed higher level of airway resistance,coupled with an obviously decrease in pulmonary ventilation compliance.Pathological alterations in lung tissue were evident,characterized by thickening of the airway epithelium,airway stenosis,infiltration of inflammatory cells,higher expression levels of N-Cadherin and NLRP3 proteins(P<0.05),lower expression level of E-Cadherin(P<0.001)and higher levels of marker genes(Snail and N-Cadherin)in lung tissue.Furthermore,model mice demonstrated higher level of NLRP3 in BALF(P<0.05),higher level of Th17 in spleen,and higher levels of retinoic acid orphan receptor(ROR)-γt mRNA(P<0.05)and Th17-related cytokines(IL-17)(P<0.01).Concurrently,model mice also showed an obviously decrease in the prevalence of Treg cells,Forkhead box Foxp3 mRNA(P<0.001),and Treg-related cytokine IL-10(P<0.05).The results of the Pearson correlation analysis indicated that the level of NLRP3 mRNA was positively correlated the ratio of RoR γt mRNA,but negatively correlated with Foxp3 mRNA in the lung tissue of asthmatic mice.Additionally,NLRP3 in BALF demonstrated a positive correlation with IL-17 and a negative correlation with IL-10.In conclusion,These findings suggest that NLRP3 may trigger bronchial EMT by exacerbating the immune imbalance of Th17/Treg cells.
