Currently,the global incidence rate of ulcerative colitis(UC)is increasing year by year.Conventional therapies cannot ef-fectively repair damaged tissue and reconstruct immune homeostasis,with a clinical remission rate of<50%,and most of the patients are facing problems such as drug resistance,irreversible damage to the mucosal barrier,and fibrosis,which require novel therapeutic methods.Recent studies have shown that bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells(BMSCs),with the help of their characteristics of multi-potential differentiation and inflammatory chemotaxis,can precisely modulate the microenvironment by secreting anti-inflammatory mediators and immunomodulatory proteins and significantly promote the regeneration and functional recovery of colonic mucosa.Based on these findings,BMSCs have become an important research direction in the field of UC treatment.Therefore,this article integrates ex-isting therapeutic systems and systematically analyzes the therapeutic mechanism of BMSCs,in order to provide a new theoretical basis and clinical guidance for the treatment of UC.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of Shujin Tougu Wash Recipe in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis and to analyze the changes in patients'serum metabolites before and after treatment.Methods A total of 30 patients with knee osteoarthritis were randomly divided into the observation group and the control group.Patients in the control group were treated with Glucosamine Hydrochloride Tablets.Patients in the observation group were treated with Shujin Tougu Wash Recipe.Two groups were treated for 3 weeks.The clinical efficacy was evaluated by observing the changes in the Visual Analogue Scale(VAS),Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index(WOMAC),and knee joint activity before and after treatment.Serum was collected from five patients from the observation group before and after treatment,and the changes in serum metabolites were detected by UPLC-MS untargeted metabolomics technology.Metabolic pathways were analyzed through the KEGG database.Results Compared with before treatment,the VAS and WOMAC scores of patients were reduced after treatment(P<0.05),and the activity of the knee joint was increased(P<0.05).Tthe Observation Group is better than the control group.There were 15 differential metabolites before and after treatment,among which the content of valproic acid,N-methylundecanamide,arachidonamide,spironolactone,propylene glycol,lysophosphatidylcholine,dehydroisoproporphyrinogen,and marcoticin increased after treatment,while the content of arginine,glycine,aspartic acid,pipecolate,fexofenadine,perindopril,alfuzosin,2-aminohexanoic acid,and all-trans-heptaprenyl diphosphate decreased.The metabolic pathways involved were mainly choline metabolism,retrograde endocannabinoid signaling pathway,linoleic acid metabolism,glycerophospholipid metabolism,α-linolenic acid metabolism,and arachidonic acid metabolism.Conclusion The treatment of knee osteoarthritis patients with Shujin Tougu Wash Recipe can significantly improve the clinical symptoms of patients,improve the quality of life of patients,and can regulate the levels of arginine,valproic acid,and lysophosphatidylcholine metabolites in patients'serum,affecting multiple metabolic pathways,and improving the inflammatory level of patients through correcting d lipid metabolism,and playing an analgesic effect.
