Objective To explore the research status and development direction by analyzing the registered clinical trials of TCM prevention and treatment of osteoporosis.Methods The clinical trials of TCM in the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis were retrieved from Chinese Clinical Trial Registry(ChiCTR)and the ClinicalTrials.gov from the establishment of databases to September 2024.Excel 2024 was used to input the screening data,and the registration number,research topic,registration time,region,institution,funding source,research disease,research type,stage and design scheme,randomized method and blind method,intervention measures,participation center,sample size and outcome index of the included trials were analyzed.Results A total of 101 clinical trials of TCM in the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis were included in the study,involving 4 countries.China's registered projects involved 58 research institutions in 21 provincial administrative regions,of which Beijing,Shanghai and Guangzhou had a large number of registered projects;the studies were dominated by single-center,interventional,and randomized controlled trials,with the most application of simple randomization methods;blinding was applied to 20 trials;postmenopausal osteoporosis was the dominant disease under study,and Chinese patent medicines were the main interventions;the main outcome indicators were bone mineral density,biochemical indicators of bone metabolism and visual analog score.Conclusion The number of clinical trials of TCM in the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis has been increasing rapidly,and researchers have been paying more attention to the studies.However,there are some problems,such as unbalanced research area,less preventive and observational research,insufficient use of blind method,unclear outcome indicators,and low attention paid to some treatment methods.

With the holistic concept of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)as the foundation,Professor ZHOU Yunfeng proposes the three-part Tuina(Chinese therapeutic massage)manipulation to treat insomnia by"taking the head and brain as the essential and simultaneously regulating the abdomen and back".Taking the theories of Ying-nutrient and Wei-defensive Qi,Zang-Fu organs,and meridians as evidence,this method primarily regulates the mind and concurrently modulates Zang-Fu organs.The three-part Tuina manipulation regulates the spirit by grasping the five meridians(Governor Vessel,Bladder Meridian of Foot Taiyang,and Gallbladder Meridian of Foot Shaoyang)and stimulating points such as Baihui(GV20),Yintang(GV29),Taiyang(EX-HN5),and Shenting(GV24);it regulates the abdomen by selecting Zhongwan(CV12),Shenque(CV8),Qihai(CV6),and Guanyuan(CV4),which means to calm the mind by regulating spleen-stomach Qi activities;it treats the back by selecting Jianjing(GB21),Xinshu(BL15),Pishu(BL20),Weishu(BL21),and Shenshu(BL23),which means to calm the mind by regulating Qi activities of the whole body.Mind regulation runs through the whole process of this manipulation,which combines points from three body regions to produce a synergistic effect,concurrently treating the three body parts,i.e.,the head,abdomen,and back,to mitigate the clinical symptoms and improve sleep quality in insomniacs.

This study aims to inquire about the fluctuations of ubiquitin-specific protease 47 on neu-roblastoma cells(Neuro-2a,N2a)infected by rabies virus(RABV).USP47 expression levels were detected after RABV infection in N2a cells through RT-qPCR,protein immunoblotting,and virus titer determination.The levels of RABV nucleoprotein and phosphoprotein gene and protein,and RABV titers in supernatants were analyzed during overexpression and knockdown of USP47.The results showed that RABV infection increased USP47 gene level in N2a cells.When overexpression of USP47,the levels of RABV N and P were increased,and the virus titers were also improved.Mo-reover,the level of interleukin-6(IL-6)genes decreased.Knocking down USP47 expression reduced levels of RABV N and P genes and proteins,lowered the virus titer,and elevated the IL-6 gene lev-el.The results suggest that USP47 promotes RABV infection and suppresses IL-6 expression.This finding lays the foundation for further investigation into the molecular mechanisms by which USP47 regulates RABV infection.

Objective: To investigate the regulatory effect of Jieduan Niwan Formula (JDNWF) drug-containing serum on AMPK-mediated mitochondrial quality control in D-GalN-induced HepG2 cells. Methods: Twenty male Wistar rats were randomly divided into blank control and JDNWF-containing serum groups, 10 rats per group. The JDNWF-containing serum group was gavaged with JDNWF (21.7 g/kg), whereas the blank control group was gavaged with saline. Blood was collected to prepare JDNWF-containing and blank control serum. Cell viability, mitochondrial damage indicators, and MQC pathway protein expression levels were evaluated to determine the optimal volume fraction of JDNWF. HepG2 cells were divided into control, D-GalN, DMSO, AMPK inhibitor, JDNWF drug-containing serum, and JDNWF drug-containing serum plus AMPK inhibitor groups, and corresponding drug interventions were administered to each group. Cells were collected after the interventions, and the CCK-8 assay was used to measure cell viability, the 2′-7′-dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate fluorescent probe was used to detect reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, JC-1 was used to detect mitochondrial membrane potential, thiobarbituric acid was used to measure malondialdehyde (MDA) levels, WST-8 was used to measure superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, and western blotting was used to detect the expression levels of mitochondrial quality control-related proteins, including p-AMPK, AMPK, PGC-1α, NRF1, TFAM, MFN2, and DRP1. Results: 5% JDNWF drug-containing serum most significantly restored cell viability, mitochondrial damage markers, and MQC pathway protein expression in the model group. Therefore, it was chosen for intervention in subsequent experiments. Compared to the control group, the cell viability of the D-GalN, DMSO, and AMPK inhibitor groups was significantly reduced (P<0.01). In contrast, the heterogeneity of mitochondrial membrane potential, ROS, and MDA levels was significantly increased (P<0.01), and SOD activity was significantly decreased (P<0.01). The p-AMPK, PGC-1α, NRF1, TFAM, MFN2, and DRP1 protein expression levels were significantly decreased (P<0.01). After JDNWF drug-containing serum intervention, compared to the DMSO group, cell viability significantly increased (P<0.01), mitochondrial membrane potential heterogeneity, ROS, and MDA levels significantly decreased (P<0.01), SOD activity significantly increased (P<0.01), and p-AMPK, PGC-1α, NRF1, TFAM, and MFN2 protein expression levels significantly increased (P<0.01), whereas DRP1 protein expression significantly decreased (P<0.01). Compared to the JDNWF drug-containing serum group, the cell viability in the JDNWF plus AMPK inhibitor group significantly decreased (P<0.01), mitochondrial membrane potential heterogeneity and ROS levels significantly increased (P<0.01), MDA levels significantly increased (P<0.05), SOD activity significantly decreased (P<0.05), p-AMPK, PGC-1α, NRF1, and TFAM protein expression levels significantly decreased (P<0.01), MFN2 protein expression significantly decreased (P<0.05), and DRP1 protein expression significantly increased (P<0.01). Conclusion JDNWF drug-containing serum may restore mitochondrial function and improve D-GalN-induced HepG2 cell injury by regulating AMPK-mediated mitochondrial quality control.

This study aims to inquire about the fluctuations of ubiquitin-specific protease 47 on neu-roblastoma cells(Neuro-2a,N2a)infected by rabies virus(RABV).USP47 expression levels were detected after RABV infection in N2a cells through RT-qPCR,protein immunoblotting,and virus titer determination.The levels of RABV nucleoprotein and phosphoprotein gene and protein,and RABV titers in supernatants were analyzed during overexpression and knockdown of USP47.The results showed that RABV infection increased USP47 gene level in N2a cells.When overexpression of USP47,the levels of RABV N and P were increased,and the virus titers were also improved.Mo-reover,the level of interleukin-6(IL-6)genes decreased.Knocking down USP47 expression reduced levels of RABV N and P genes and proteins,lowered the virus titer,and elevated the IL-6 gene lev-el.The results suggest that USP47 promotes RABV infection and suppresses IL-6 expression.This finding lays the foundation for further investigation into the molecular mechanisms by which USP47 regulates RABV infection.

Objectives:This study aims to evaluate the causal relationship between plasma proteins and myocardial infarction(MI)using two-sample bidirectional Mendelian randomization(MR)analysis,identify key biomarkers,and validate their expression.Methods:The study utilized publicly available genome-wide association study(GWAS)data of 4 907 plasma proteins as the exposure factor,with single nucleotide polymorphisms(SNPs)as instrumental variables,and four MI datasets as outcomes.Two-sample MR analysis was performed using the inverse variance weighted(IVW)method,complemented by simple model,weighted model,weighted median estimator(WME),and MR-Egger regression methods to assess the causal relationship between exposure factors and outcomes.Venn diagrams and word clouds were used to screen proteins associated with MI as candidate biomarkers.Reverse MR analysis was conducted to evaluate reverse causality.Sensitivity analysis was performed to assess the robustness of the results.Immunohistochemistry(IHC)was used to validate the expression of proteasome activator subunit 1(PSME1)and vacuolar protein sorting 29(VPS29)in the aorta of mice,and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)was used to verify the expression of PSME1 and VPS29 in plasma from patients with acute myocardial infarction(AMI).Results:The two-sample MR analysis indicated that PSME1 was significantly negatively associated with myocardial infarction in all four datasets,with OR(95%CI)of 0.684(0.557-0.839),0.990(0.987-0.993),0.579(0.448-0.748),and 0.993(0.990-0.996),respectively,with all P<0.001.Similarly,VPS29 also showed a significant negative association with MI in all four datasets,with OR(95%CI)of 0.902(0.862-0.945),0.998(0.997-0.999),0.866(0.808-0.929),and 0.998(0.997-0.999),respectively,with all P<0.001.Reverse MR analysis did not detect reverse causality,and sensitivity analysis confirmed the robustness of the results.IHC results showed significantly reduced expression of PSME1 and VPS29 in the aortas of AMI mice with an atherosclerotic background compared to control mice(both P<0.05).ELISA results indicated significantly lower plasma levels of PSME1 and VPS29 in AMI patients compared to healthy controls(both P<0.05).Conclusions:Higher levels of PSME1 and VPS29 are negatively associated with the risk of MI,suggesting that PSME1 and VPS29 may serve as protective biomarkers for cardiovascular diseases.

The rabies virus(RABV)that causes rabies mainly attacks the peripheral and central nervous systems.In the later stages of infection,it is scattered in the salivary glands and transmit-ted to other susceptible animals through infectious saliva.To study dispersion of the RABV in the three pairs of salivary gland tissues,the street strain PB4 of the RABV was inoculated into 21-day-old female mice through the hind limb muscles.During the moribund stage of the mice,the sublin-gual gland,submandibular gland and parotid gland were collected,respectively.The TCID50 titer of RABV in the three kinds of glands of the mice and the copy number of the RABV N gene were de-tected,and RABV in different salivary glands was observed by immunofluorescence.The results showed that PB4 was dispersed in all three kinds of salivary glands of the mice,with the largest a-mounts in the parotid gland,followed by the submandibular gland,and the lowest amount in the sublingual gland.Three-month-old dogs were inoculated with PB4 through the cranial cavity,and saliva were collected every 12 h after inoculation.The saliva samples were detected by TCID50 and RT-qPCR.And during the moribund stage of the dogs when the disease occurred,the three pairs of salivary glands were collected.Through the determination of the TCID50 titer,RT-qPCR and immu-nofluorescence detection,it was demonstrated that among the three different salivary glands of the dogs,the largest amount of PB4 was found in the parotid gland and the lowest in the sublingual gland.Our results in mice and dogs clearly proved that the parotid gland was consistently found to exhibit the highest content of street RABV among the three major salivary glands,which could en-rich experimental data for analyzing the dispersion of RABV in the salivary glands and interpreta-tion of the intermittent secretion of saliva in clinically rabid dogs.
