ObjectiveTo study the therapeutic mechanism of Xihuang Wan for hyperplasia of mammary glands based on network pharmacology， molecular docking， and cell experiments. MethodsThe active ingredients and targets of Xihuang Wan were retrieved from the Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database and Analysis Platform （TCMSP） and A Bioinformatics Annotation daTabase for Molecular mechANism of Traditional Chinese Medicine （BATMAN-TCM） and supplemented by searching against PubChem and Swiss Target Prediction. The targets of differential metabolites in tissues and urine were obtained from previous metabolomics studies through PubChem and Swiss Target Prediction. GeneCards， Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man （OMIM）， PharmGKB， Therapeutic Target Database （TTD）， Drunbank were searched for the targets of hyperplasia of mammary glands. After the common targets were obtained via Veeny2.1.0， the STRING database was used to analyze the protein-protein interactions， and Cytoscape was used for the core target analysis and visualization. Gene Ontology （GO） and the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes （KEGG） were employed for enrichment analysis. Molecular docking was carried out in Autodock， and cell experiments were conducted to verify the prediction results. In the cell experiments， estradiol and progesterone （E₂+P） were used to intervene in human mammary epithelial/MCF-10A cells， and thus the MCF-10A cell proliferation model was established. The cells were then treated with Xihuang Wan-medicated serum. The cell counting kit-8 （CCK-8） was used to measure the cell proliferation， and flow cytometry was used to detect apoptosis. The mRNA and protein levels of key factors in MCF-10A cells were determined by real-time PCR and Western blot， respectively. ResultsThe results of network pharmacology showed that 90 active ingredients and 316 common targets were obtained， from which 20 core targets and 38 corresponding active ingredients were screened out. The results of GO and KEGG enrichment analyses showed that Xihuang Wan exerted effect against hyperplasia of mammary glands by regulating a variety of biological processes， which may be related to protein kinase B （Akt）-related molecular functions， estrogen signaling pathway， prolactin signaling pathway and other biological processes. The results of molecular docking showed that estrogen receptor 1 （ESR1）， serine/threonine kinase 1 （Akt1）， non-receptor tyrosine kinase （SRC）， and signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 （STAT3） all had strong binding activity with the nine active ingredients， suggesting that Xihuang Wan exert the effect through the ESR1/SRC/phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase （PI3K）/Akt signaling pathway and the Janus kinase （JAK）/STAT3 signaling pathway. The results of cell experiments showed that E₂+P intervention in MCF-10A cells promoted the proliferation of MCF-10A cells （P<0.05）， while the Xihuang Wan-medicated serum inhibited the proliferation of MCF-10A cells exposed to E₂+P （P<0.05）. Flow cytometry showed that the Xihuang Wan-medicated serum promoted the apoptosis of MCF-10A cells exposed to E₂+P （P<0.01）. The results of Real-time PCR showed that the Xihuang Wan-medicated serum down-regulated the mRNA levels of PI3K， Akt， JAK2， and STAT3 in MCF-10A cells treated with E₂+P （P<0.01）. The results of Western blot showed that the Xihuang Wan-medicated serum inhibited the expression of p-PI3K/PI3K， p-Akt/Akt， p-JAK2/JAK2， and p-STAT3/STAT3 in MCF-10A cells treated with E₂+P （P<0.05）. ConclusionXihuang Wan may exert the effect against hyperplasia of mammary glands by inhibiting the proliferation and promoting the apoptosis of MCF-10A cells， which may related to the inhibition of the activation of PI3K/Akt and JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathways.

Parkinson's disease （PD） is a complex neurodegenerative disease involving multiple systems and neurotransmitters. Due to the high clinical heterogeneity of PD，it is urgent to establish a comprehensive and long-term traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） management model. In this paper，the conceptual framework of full-cycle management of PD is preliminarily constructed：based on the evolution of the pathophysiological mechanisms of protein deposition and neurotransmitter disorder in PD，the three-stage syndrome characteristics of the prodromal stage （predominant healthy Qi with subtle pathogenic factors），the early clinical stage （declining healthy Qi with growing pathogenic factors） and the middle and late stages （overwhelming pathogenic factors with deficient healthy Qi） are longitudinally described. Through the syndrome differentiation of visceral manifestations，the etiology and pathogenesis of PD motor and non-motor symptoms were comprehensively analyzed，while the matching treatment methods and prescriptions were inferred，and the modular scheme of the combining main symptoms，accompanying symptoms and secondary symptoms was proposed. The conceptual gap of TCM regarding motor complications （'variable syndrome'） and PD-related hyperpyrexia syndrome （'critical syndrome'） was explained. This framework reflects the characteristics of combination of disease and syndrome and overall constant motion，and provides new theories and research ideas for individualized and whole-process management of PD in TCM.

To perform the phylogenetic characterization of an isolated porcine rotavirus(PoRV)and investigate its pathogenicity in suckling mice and piglets.A G4P[23]genotype PoRV strain JSJR2023 was successfully isolated from the diarrheic piglet feces through propagation in MA104 cells.The viral proliferation kinetics were analyzed using TCID50 assays,followed by complete genome sequencing through Sanger sequencing platforms.Comprehensive genotyping and phylogenetic reconstruction were conducted using MEGA7.0 with maximum likelihood algorithms.Pathogenicity was assessed in the following animal models:5-day-old C57BL/6 mice and 3-day-old piglets.Multidimensional evaluation included clinical monitoring(diarrhea scoring,growth parameters),virological detection,and histopathological analysis of intestinal tissues.The virus strain JSJR2023 could replicate efficiently in MA104 cells,achieving peak titers of 107.5 TCID50/mL.Whole genome genotype analysis showed that the strain belonged to G4-P[23]-I5-R1-C1-M1-A8-N1-T1-E1-H1.Phylogenetic analysis indicated that the VP3 and NSP4 genes of JSJR2023 strain were most closedrelated to human species rotaviruses,suggesting genetic reassortment between human and porcine RV strains.The animal experiments in suckling mice showed that the JSJR2023 strain infection caused diarrhea symptoms,intestinal edema and congestion,and shedding of intestinal villus epithelial cells.The pathogenicity experiments in piglets showed that compared with the control group,the challenged group of pig-lets had severe diarrhea symptoms,accompanied by reduced appetite and listlessness.Post-mortem examination revealed that the intes-tines were significantly thinner,congested,and filled with yellow watery contents.The challenged piglets showed typical pathological changes such as thinning of the intestinal wall and shortening and shedding of intestinal villi.In conclusion,this study successfully iso-lated a human-porcine recombinant G4P[23]PoRV strain and established the infection models in suckling mice and piglets,providing important tools for investigating the pathogenic mechanism of PoRV,evaluating vaccines and developing antiviral drug.

Numerous studies have shown that depression is main-ly associated with the abnormal expression of connexin 43(Cx43)in astrocytes(Astro)and its mediated dysfunction of gap junction(GJ).However,the molecular mechanism of post-translational modifications targeting Cx43 to regulate neuroin-flammation-associated depression is still unclear.Post-transla-tional modifications of Cx43 mainly include phosphorylation of specific amino acid sites by PKC,PKA,PKG,MAPK and PTK,and protein degradation of Cx43 through the K48/K63 polyubiq-uitylation and deubiquitination pathways,which ultimately lead to protein degradation through K48/K63 polyubiquitination and deubiquitination.These modifications are ultimately involved in the regulation of neuroinflammatory responses through the associ-ation of GJ function.In this paper,we systematically review the role of Cx43 post-translational modifications in neuroinflamma-tion,with the aim of further exploring the potential application of targeting these modifications to modulate the inflammatory re-sponse mechanism in improving depressive symptoms.

Objective:To explore the effect and mechanism of CD147 on differentiation of circulating fibrocytes and its pro-inflammatory and pro-fibrotic function.Methods:Circulating fibrocytes were extracted from peripheral blood of asthma patients,stimu-lated with CD147,and intervened with CD147 antagonist AP-9 or p38/MAPK inhibitor SB203580.Cell viability was detected by CCK-8 method,cell migration was assessed by Transwell method,expressions of collagen type Ⅰ(COL-Ⅰ),CD45 and α-SMA were detected by immunofluorescence staining.Levels of cytokines such as TGF-β1,IL-4,IL-5 and IL-13 were detected by ELISA,and expression levels of COL-Ⅰ,fibronectin(FN),α-SMA,p-TAK1,p-P38 and other proteins were detected by Western blot.Results:Low dose of CD147 increased cell viability of circulating fibrocytes.CD147 significantly promoted migration of circulating fibrocytes and induces their differentiation into myofibrocytes.CD147 significantly increased secretion of cytokines such as TGF-β1,IL-4,IL-5 and IL-13 in circulating fibrocytes.CD147 significantly increased expressions of COL-Ⅰ,FN,α-SMA,p-TAK1,p-P38 in circulating fibrocytes.AP-9 or SB203580 significantly inhibited effect of CD147 on circulating fibrocytes.Conclusion:CD147 can promote proliferation,mi-gration,differentiation and pro-inflammatory and profibrotic function of circulating fibrocytes in vitro,and TAK1-p38/MAPK signaling pathway is involved in CD147-mediated regulation of circulating fibrocytes.

Objective:To analyze the relationship among serum levels of fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23), 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-OH-VD) and osteoporosis in children.Methods:Eighty children with osteoporosis admitted to Affiliated Hosptial of Jining Medieal University from Jun. 2019 to Jun. 2024 were included as the observation group, and 60 healthy children who underwent physical examination during the same period were included as the control group. Serum FGF23 and 25-OH-VD levels were compared between the two groups, and bone mineral density and bone metabolism indexes [CTX-1, osteocalcin (OC) and N-terminal propeptide of type I precollagen (PINP) ] were detected. Pearson correlation was used to analyze the correlation among serum FGF23, 25-OH-VD, bone metabolism indexes and bone mineral density. Logistic regression model was used to analyze the risk factors of osteoporosis in children.Results:Serum FGF23 and CTX-1 levels in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group ( t=15.77, 7.56, P < 0.05), while serum 25-OH-VD, OC, PINP and BMD levels were significantly lower ( t=14.09, 2.70, 13.25, 3.63, P < 0.05) ; Pearson correlation analysis showed that BMD was not correlated with age, BMI and OC ( r=-0.07, -0.02, 0.01, P > 0.05), BMD was negatively correlated with FGF23 and CTX-1, and positively correlated with 25-OH-VD and PINP ( r=-0.35, -0.34, 0.41, 0.40, P < 0.05). The stepwise regression model showed that FGF23 and 25-OH-VD were the main factors affecting BMD ( t=-2.40, 9.02, P<0.05). Multifactor Logistic regression model showed that FGF23 and 25-OH-VD were related factors of osteoporosis in children ( OR=3.01,1.16, P<0.05) . Conclusion:Serum FGF23 level is higher and 25-OH-VD level is lower in children with osteoporosis, which is significantly correlated with bone mineral density and is a related factor for osteoporosis in children.
