OBJECTIVE To study the pharmacokinetic characteristics of antidepressant active components from Jiaotai pills in healthy subjects. METHODS Eight healthy subjects (3 males and 5 females) were recruited and given a single oral dose of 8.55 g of Jiaotai pills. Venous blood samples were collected before administration (0 h) and at intervals from 0.25 to 36.0 hours post- administration. After treating the plasma samples with protein precipitation, the blood concentrations of the antidepressant active ingredients (coptisine, berberine, magnoflorine, and palmatine) in Jiaotai pills were determined using liquid chromatography- tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method. DAS 2.0 software was employed to calculate the pharmacokinetic parameters of healthy subjects [half-life (t1/2), peak concentration (cmax), time to peak concentration (tmax), area under the concentration-time curve (AUC), and mean residence time (MRT)] using a non-compartmental model. RESULTS After healthy subjects took Jiaotai pills, the drug-time curve of the four antidepressant active ingredients conforms to a two-compartment model and tmax values were similar, with all reaching peak blood concentrations within 2.00 to 4.00 hours post-administration. However, the t1/2 and MRT of coptisine and berberine were significantly longer than that of magnoflorine and palmatine. There were also significant differences in the AUC and cmax among the four antidepressant active ingredients, with magnoflorine exhibiting markedly higher AUC0-t and cmax compared to the other three components. CONCLUSIONS In this study,LC-MS/MS is used to analyze the pharmacokinetic characteristics of the antidepressant active ingredients from Jiaotai pills in healthy subjects, can provide valuable references for the clinical application of Jiaotai pills.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of Hei Xiaoyaosan on neuroinflammation in APP/PS1 mice and decipher the mechanism based on the C-X3-C chemokine ligand 1 (CX3CL1)-CX3CL1 receptor 1 (CX3CR1) signaling axis. MethodsSixty 16-week-old male APP/PS1 mice were selected and acclimatized for one week, and they were then randomly allocated into a model group, a CX3CL1 group (bilateral hippocampal injection of CX3CL1 at 0.5 g·L-1), and high-, medium-, and low-dose (22.10, 11.05, and 5.53 g·kg-1, respectively) Hei Xiaoyaosan groups, with 12 mice in each group. Twelve age-matched male C57BL/6J mice served as the blank group (bilateral hippocampal injection of an equal volume of PBS). The high-, medium-, and low-dose Hei Xiaoyaosan groups received corresponding drugs via gavage, while the blank group received an equal volume of normal saline, with an intervention period of 90 days. Morris water maze was used to assess learning and memory abilities. Nissl staining was performed to observe the pathological changes in neurons of the hippocampal CA1 region. Immunohistochemistry was adopted to detect amyloid-β1-42 (Aβ1-42) deposition in the hippocampal CA1 region. The immunofluorescence assay was employed to detect the expression of M1 and M2 microglial markers, including cluster of differentiation 86 (CD86)/ionized calcium-binding adapter molecule 1 (Iba-1) and arginase-1 (Arg1)/Iba1. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was employed to measure the levels of interleukin-8 (IL-8) and interleukin-13 (IL-13) in the hippocampal tissue. Western blot was employed to determine the protein levels of CX3CL1, CX3CR1, CREB-binding protein (CBP), cyclic AMP response element-binding protein (CREB), phosphorylated (p)-CREB, and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in the hippocampal tissue. ResultsCompared with the blank group, the model group exhibited prolonged escape latency on day 5 and a reduced swimming distance in the target quadrant (P<0.01), disarrangement of hippocampal neurons, with a reduced number of cells and uneven Nissl body staining, increased CD86/Iba1 expression, decreased Arg1/Iba1 expression (P<0.01), enhanced Aβ expression (P<0.01), an elevated IL-8 level and a declined IL-13 level (P<0.01), and downregulated protein levels of CX3CL1, CX3CR1, CBP, p-CREB, and BDNF (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, all treatment groups showed shortened escape latency on day 5 and an increased swimming distance in the target quadrant (P<0.05, P<0.01), regular arrangement of neurons with an increased number and increased Nissl bodies, reduced CD86/Iba1 expression, increased Arg1/Iba1 and decreased Aβ expression (P<0.01), and a declined IL-8 level and an elevated IL-13 level (P<0.05, P<0.01). In the CX3CL1 group and the high- and medium-dose Hei Xiaoyaosan groups, the relative expression levels of CX3CL1, CX3CR1, CBP, and p-CREB were upregulated (P<0.01). In the low-dose Hei Xiaoyaosan group, the relative expression levels of CX3CL1, CX3CR1, CBP, p-CREB/CREB, and BDNF were upregulated (P<0.05, P<0.01). ConclusionHei Xiaoyaosan can improve learning and cognitive abilities in APP/PS1 mice. Specifically, it may regulate the CX3CL1/CX3CR1 signaling axis to activate the CREB/BDNF signaling pathway for the subsequent release of BDNF, modulation of microglial polarization, reduction of inflammatory cytokine levels, and attenuation of Aβ deposition.

ObjectiveTo observe the clinical efficacy and safety of Tangning Tongluo tablets in the treatment of nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy (DR). MethodsFourteen research centers participated in this study, which spanned a time interval from September 2021 to May 2023. A total of 240 patients with nonproliferative DR were included and randomly assigned into an observation group (120 cases) and a control group (120 cases). The observation group was treated with Tangning Tongluo tablets, and the control group with calcium dobesilate capsules. Both groups were treated for 24 consecutive weeks. The vision, DR progression rate, retinal microhemangioma, hemorrhage area, exudation area, glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) level, and TCM syndrome score were assessed before and after treatment, and the safety was observed. ResultsThe vision changed in both groups after treatment (P<0.05), and the observation group showed higher best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) than the control group (P<0.05). The DR progression was slow with similar rates in the two groups. The fundus hemorrhage area and exudation area did not change significantly after treatment in both groups, while the observation group outperformed the control group in reducing the fundus hemorrhage area and exudation area. There was no significant difference in the number of microhemangiomas between the two groups before treatment. After treatment, the number of microhemangiomas decreased in both the observation group (Z=-1.437, P<0.05) and the control group (Z=-2.238, P<0.05), and it showed no significant difference between the two groups. As the treatment time prolonged, the number of microhemangiomas gradually decreased in both groups. There was no significant difference in the HbA1c level between the two groups before treatment. After treatment, the decline in the HbA1c level showed no significant difference between the two groups. The TCM syndrome score did not have a statistically significant difference between the two groups before treatment. After treatment, neither the TCM syndrome score nor the response rate had significant difference between the two groups. With the extension of the treatment time, both groups showed amelioration of TCM syndrome compared with the baseline. ConclusionTangning Tongluo tablets are safe and effective in the treatment of nonproliferative DR, being capable of improving vision and reducing hemorrhage and exudation in the fundus.

Houpo Sanwutang, included in the Catalogue of Ancient Classical Prescriptions (Second Batch), was first recorded in the Synopsis of Golden Chamber written by ZHANG Zhongjing from the Eastern Han dynasty and was modified by successive generations of medical experts. A total of 37 pieces of effective data involving 37 ancient Chinese medical books were retrieved from different databases. Through literature mining, statistical analysis, and data processing, combined with modern articles, this study employed bibliometrics to investigate the historical origin, composition, decoction methods, clinical application, and other key information. The results showed that the medicinal origin of Houpo Sanwutang was clearly documented in classic books. Based on the conversion of the measurements from the Han Dynasty, it is recommended that 110.4 g Magnolia Officinalis Cortex, 55.2 g Rhei Radix et Rhizoma, and 72 g Aurantii Fructus Immaturus should be taken. Magnolia Officinalis Cortex and Aurantii Fructus Immaturus should be decocted with 2 400 mL water first, and 1 000 mL should be taken from the decocted liquid. Following this, Rhei Radix et Rhizoma should be added for further decoction, and then 600 mL should be taken from the decocted liquid. A single dose of administration is 200 mL, and the medication can be stopped when patients restore smooth bowel movement. Houpo Sanwutang has the effect of moving Qi, relieving stuffiness and fullness, removing food stagnation, and regulating bowels. It can be used in treating abdominal distending pain, guarding, constipation, and other diseases with the pathogenesis of stagnated heat and stagnated Qi in the stomach. The above results provide reference for the future development and research of Houpo Sanwutang.

ObjectiveTo analyze the epidemiological characteristics of influenza virus in severe acute respiratory tract infection (SARI) cases in Jingzhou City, so as to provide a scientific basis for the formulation of influenza prevention and control policies in Jingzhou City. MethodsSARI surveillance was carried out in two sentinel hospitals in Jingzhou City from 2018 to 2023. Respiratory tract samples were collected from cases and influenza virus nucleic acid was measured using real-time fluorescent polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). ResultsA total of 2 603 SARI samples were tested from 2018 to 2023, and 338 samples were positive for influenza virus nucleic acid, with a detection rate of 12.99%. The highest positive detection rate was 20.22% in 2019, followed by 14.29% in 2022, and the lowest detection rate was 7.75% in 2020. There were significant differences for the positive detection rates of influenza in each monitoring year (χ²=30.386, P<0.001). There were epidemic peaks in the five surveillance years from 2018 to 2023 except 2020. There were winter epidemic peaks during 2018‒2019 and 2021‒2022, and an obvious summer epidemic peak was also observed from 2019 to 2022. H1N1, H3N2, B-Victoria and B-Yamagata were alternately prevalent in the six surveillance years. In 2019, H1N1, H3N2 and B-Victoria were alternately prevalent with time progress, in 2021 only B-Victoria was prevalent, and in 2022 H3N2 and B-Victoria were prevalent. There was no statistically significant difference for the positive detection rates of influenza virus between different genders (χ²=0.178, P=0.673). Among the four age groups, the positive rate of influenza virus in the age group of 15‒<25 years old was the highest (40.91%), followed by the age group of 25‒<60 years old (21.31%). There were statistically significant differences for the positive rates of influenza virus among different age groups (χ²=24.496, P<0.001). ConclusionThe surveillance of SARI cases in Jingzhou City could serve as an effective supplement to the surveillance of ILI in sentinel hospitals. It is suggested to expand the surveillance scope, strengthen public education and outreach on the prevention and control of respiratory diseases, thereby providing a scientific basis for influenza prevention and control.

Objective:
To analyze the differences in bile acid profiles during different pregnancy durations of patients with intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP), so as to provide a reference for early prevention and treatment of ICP and optimization of maternal-infant health outcomes.
Methods:
Pregnant women who underwent routine prenatal examinations and delivered at Hangzhou Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital from 2021 to 2023 were selected as study subjects. According to the ICP guidelines (2020), pregnant women were categorized into normal group, mild ICP group, and moderate/severe ICP group. Age, parity, and gravidity were collected through the obstetric electronic medical record system, liver function indicators and seven bile acid levels were collected through the hospital's laboratory information system. Differences in bile acid profiles across pregnancy durations among the three groups were compared.
Results:
A total of 238 pregnant women were enrolled, including 57 cases (23.95%) in the normal group, 136 cases (57.14%) in the mild ICP group, and 45 cases (18.91%) in the moderate/severe ICP group. There were statistically significant differences between the three groups in total bile acid (TBA), cholic acid (CA), chenodeoxycholic acid (CDCA), glycochenodeoxycholic acid (GCDCA), glycocholic acid (GCA), taurocholic acid (TCA) levels (all P<0.05). Compared with the normal group, CA, GCDCA and GCA, and TCA were higher in the mild and moderate/severe ICP groups; compared with the mild ICP group, GCA was higher in the moderate/severe ICP group (all P<0.05). Significant differences were observed in the levels of GCDCA, GCA, and TCA among three groups pregnant women in the early, mid, and late pregnancy (all P<0.05). Compared with the normal group, mild ICP group had higher GCDCA and GCA in the early and mid pregnancy; moderate/severe ICP group had higher TCA in the early pregnancy and higher GCDCA and GCA in the late pregnancy. Compared with the mild ICP group, mild ICP group had higher TCA in the early pregnancy and the moderate/severe ICP group had higher GCA in the late pregnancy.
Conclusions
GCDCA, GCA, and TCA levels remain higher in ICP patients than in normal pregnant women across all pregnancy durations. Personalized perinatal management plans can be developed based on bile acid profile dynamics to optimize maternal-fetal outcomes.
