OBJECTIVE To investigate the neuroprotective effect and mechanism of eleutheroside B (ELB) on Parkinson’s disease (PD) model mice by regulating the IκB kinase β (IKKβ)/nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) signaling pathway. METHODS Fifty mice were randomly divided into normal control group, model group, positive control group (selegiline hydrochloride, 10 mg/kg), and ELB low-dose and high-dose groups (80, 160 mg/kg), with 10 mice in each group. Each group was given relevant medicine or normal saline intragastrically for 14 consecutive days. Starting from the 10th day of administration, the model group and all administration groups were intraperitoneally injected with 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) 30 mg/kg, for five consecutive days to establish the chronic PD model. After the last administration for 24 h, six mice were randomly selected from each group to test their behavioral abilities; detect the levels of interleukin-1β (IL-1β), IL-10, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in brain tissue and their mRNA expressions were measured, and positive expression of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), protein expressions of TH, α -synuclein ( α -syn), ionized calcium-binding adaptor molecule 1 (Iba-1), as well as phosphorylation levels of IKKβ and NF-κB p65 proteins in the brain tissue were detected. The ultrastructure of neurons in substantia nigra was observed. RESULTS Compared with the model group, rotarod endurance time and climbing score of each administration group (except for the ELB low-dose group) were increased significantly ( P <0.05), while the levels and mRNA expressions of IL-1β, TNF-α, α -syn, and Iba-1, as well as phosphorylation levels of IKKβ and NF-κB p65 proteins in brain tissue were decreased significantly (except for TNF-α in the ELB low-dose group). Conversely, the level and mRNA expression of IL-10 (except for the ELB low-dose group), TH positive expression and protein expressions were significantly increased ( P <0.05). Typical neurodegenerative pathological changes, such as neuronal karyopyknosis, mitochondrial swelling and vacuolization, and endoplasmic reticulum dilation, all showed varying degrees of improvement. CONCLUSIONS ELB may exert neuroprotective effects by inhibiting the activation of the IKKβ/NF-κB signaling pathway, alleviating inflammatory responses, reducing abnormal α -syn aggregation and neuronal loss, and further improving motor dysfunction in PD mice.

BACKGROUND:
Biomarkers-based prediction of long-term risk of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is scarce. We aim to develop a risk score integrating clinical routine information (C) and plasma biomarkers (B) for predicting long-term risk of ACS patients.
METHODS:
We included 2729 ACS patients from the OCEA (Observation of cardiovascular events in ACS patients). The earlier admitted 1910 patients were enrolled as development cohort; and the subsequently admitted 819 subjects were treated as validation cohort. We investigated 10-year risk of cardiovascular (CV) death, myocardial infarction (MI) and all cause death in these patients. Potential variables contributing to risk of clinical events were assessed using Cox regression models and a score was derived using main part of these variables.
RESULTS:
During 16,110 person-years of follow-up, there were 238 CV death/MI in the development cohort. The 7 most important predictors including in the final model were NT-proBNP, D-dimer, GDF-15, peripheral artery disease (PAD), Fibrinogen, ST-segment elevated MI (STEMI), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), termed as CB-ACS score. C-index of the score for predication of cardiovascular events was 0.79 (95% CI: 0.76-0.82) in development cohort and 0.77 (95% CI: 0.76-0.78) in the validation cohort (5832 person-years of follow-up), which outperformed GRACE 2.0 and ABC-ACS risk score. The CB-ACS score was also well calibrated in development and validation cohort (Greenwood-Nam-D'Agostino: P = 0.70 and P = 0.07, respectively).
CONCLUSIONS
CB-ACS risk score provides a useful tool for long-term prediction of CV events in patients with ACS. This model outperforms GRACE 2.0 and ABC-ACS ischemic risk score.

Objective:To investigate the impact of Wenyang Ligong Decoction on pregnancy outcomes after transcervical resection of adhesions (TCRA) in patients with intrauterine adhesions (IUA).Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted to collect clinical data from 151 patients with IUA who underwent TCRA in the Reproductive Medicine Department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Tianjin University of Traditional Chinese Medicine between January 2020 and January 2023. Patients were divided into a Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) group (79 patients) and a control group (72 patients) based on whether they received Wenyang Ligong Decoction after TCRA. The TCM group received estrogen and progesterone sequential therapy post-surgery, combined with Wenyang Ligong Decoction for 2-3 menstrual cycles. The control only received sequential treatment with estrogen and progesterone.Pregnancy outcomes one year after surgery were compared between the two groups. After adjusting for confounding factors using multivariate Cox regression analysis, the effect of Wenyang Ligong Decoction on pregnancy outcomes after TCRA in patients with IUA was observed.Results:The live birth rate [54.43% (43/79)], the ongoing pregnancy rate [56.96% (45/79)], and the clinical pregnancy rate [52.03% (49/79)] were higher in the TCM group than in the control [26.39% (19/72), P<0.001; 30.56% (22/72), P=0.001;37.50% (27/72), P=0.003], with statistically significant differences. There were no statistically significant differences in early abortion rate and late abortion rate between the TCM group and the control (all P>0.05). According to the stratified analysis by preparation methods, in the natural conception group, the live birth rate [60.78% (31/51)], the ongoing pregnancy rate [62.75% (32/51)], and the clinical pregnancy rate [68.63% (35/51)] in the TCM group were significantly higher than those in control group [21.43% (12/56), P<0.001; 26.79% (15/56), P<0.001; 33.93% (19/56), P<0.001]; there were no statistically significant differences in early miscarriage rate and late miscarriage rate between the two groups (both P>0.05). In the assisted reproductive technology group, there were no statistically significant differences in live birth rate, ongoing pregnancy rate, clinical pregnancy rate, early miscarriage rate, and late miscarriage rate between the two groups (all P>0.05). According to the stratified analysis by age, in the <35-year-old patients, the live birth rate [66.00% (33/50)], the ongoing pregnancy rate [70.00% (35/50)], and the clinical pregnancy rate [74.00% (37/50)] in the TCM group were significantly higher than those in control group [41.30% (19/46), P=0.015; 47.83% (22/46), P=0.027; 54.35% (25/46), P=0.044]; there were no statistically significant differences in early miscarriage rate and late miscarriage rate between the two groups (both P>0.05). In the ≥35-year-old patients, the live birth rate [34.48% (10/29)], the ongoing pregnancy rate [34.48% (10/29)], and the clinical pregnancy rate [41.38% (12/29)] in the TCM group were significantly higher than those in control group [0%, P=0.001; 0%, P=0.001; 7.69% (2/26), P=0.004]; there were no statistically significant differences in early miscarriage rate and late miscarriage rate between the two groups (both P>0.05).Univariate Cox regression analysis showed that age, number of previous uterine cavity interventions, IUA score, degree of IUA, and endometrial thickness after TCRA were independent risk factors for live births, and age, IUA score, degree of IUA, intima thickness after TCRA, and treatment group were the influencing factors of persistent pregnancy (all P<0.05). After adjusting for confounding factors, multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that Wenyang Ligong Decoction significantly improved the live birth rate ( HR=3.19, 95% CI: 1.77-8.11, P=0.001) and the rate of continuous pregnancy ( HR=3.66, 95% CI: 1.80-7.48, P<0.001) in patients with IUA. Conclusion:Wenyang Ligong Decoction can significantly improve pregnancy outcomes after TCRA in patients with IUA.
