OBJECTIVE:
This study investigates the efficacy and mechanisms of Qingjie Fuzheng Granules (QFG) in inhibiting colitis-associated colorectal cancer (CAC) development via RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) and 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) correlation analysis.
METHODS:
CAC was induced in BALB/c mice using azoxymethane (AOM) and dextran sulfate sodium (DSS), and QFG was administered orally to the treatment group. The effects of QFG on CAC were evaluated using disease index, histology, and serum T-cell ratios. RNA-seq and 16S rRNA analysis assessed the transcriptome and microbiome change. Key pharmacodynamic pathways were identified by integrating these data and confirmed via Western blotting and immunofluorescence. The link between microbiota and CAC-related markers was explored using linear discriminant analysis effect size and Spearman correlation analysis.
RESULTS:
Long-term treatment with QFG prevented AOM/DSS-induced CAC formation, reduced levels of interleukin (IL)-1β, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), IL-6, and interferon γ (IFN-γ), and increased CD3+ and CD4+/CD8+ T cells ratio, without causing hepatic or renal toxicity. A 16S rRNA analysis revealed that QFG rebalanced the Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio and mitigated AOM/DSS-induced microbiota disturbances. Transcriptomics and Western blotting analysis identified the nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-containing protein 2 (NOD2)/nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB) pathway as key for QFG's treatment against CAC. Furthermore, QFG decreased the abundance of Bacilli, Bacillales, Staphylococcaceae, Staphylococcus, Lactobacillales, Aerococcus, Alloprevotella, and Akkermansia, while increasing Clostridiales, Lachnospiraceae, Lachnospiraceae_NK4A136_group, Ruminococcaceae, and Muribaculaceae, which were highly correlated with CAC-related markers or NOD2/NF-κB pathway.
CONCLUSION
By mapping the relationships between CAC, immune responses, microbiota, and key pathways, this study clarifies the mechanism of QFG in inhibiting CAC, highlighting its potential for clinical use as preventive therapy.

Neurodegenerative disorders (NDDs) are prevalent chronic conditions characterized by progressive synaptic loss and pathological protein alterations. Increasing evidence suggested that mitochondrial quality control (MQC) serves as the key cellular process responsible for clearing misfolded proteins and impaired mitochondria. Herein, we provided a comprehensive analysis of the mechanisms through which MQC mediates the onset and progression of NDDs, emphasizing mitochondrial dynamic stability, the clearance of damaged mitochondria, and the generation of new mitochondria. In addition, traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs) and their active monomers targeting MQC in NDD treatment have been demonstrated. Consequently, we compiled the TCMs that show great potential in the treatment of NDDs by targeting MQC, aiming to offer novel insights and a scientific foundation for the use of MQC stabilizers in NDD prevention and treatment.

By aggregating the essence of theories related with depressive syndrome from historical medical practitioners and based on the extensive clinical experience,traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)master Lin Yi proposed the theory of six-stagnation-based breast disease prevention and treatment.She pointed out that the occurrence of breast diseases is related to six stagnations(qi stagnancy,blood stagnancy,phlegm stagnancy,dampness stagnancy,food stagnancy,and fire stagnancy),and the treatment for breast diseases should start from the six stagnations.The development and progression of breast cancer is closely associated with the imbalance of internal environment and the formation of six stagnations,and breast cancer is one of the major diseases suitable for the TCM syndrome differentiation and treatment.For the treatment of early breast cancer,Professor Lin Yi proposed to divide early breast cancer into four stages,namely perioperative period,peri-chemotherapy period,peri-radiotherapy period,and consolidation period.Guided by the theory of six-stagnation-based breast disease prevention and treatment,therapies of soothing the liver,resolving phlegm,removing stasis,clearing heat,eliminating dampness,promoting digestion,fortifying the spleen,and tonifying the kidney are employed to harmonize the internal environment and alleviate symptoms.The theory of six-stagnation-based breast disease prevention and treatment enriches the TCM theory for the prevention and treatment of breast cancer,refines the principles and methods for the staging and syndrome differentiation of early breast cancer,and holds significant implications for enhancing the efficacy of integrated TCM and western medicine in managing early breast cancer.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of Guizhi Jia Longgu Mulitang on the expression difference of interleukin-10 (IL-10) and tumor necrosis factor -α (TNF-α) in related organs of insomnia rats with sensory dysfunction dominated by lung and study the mechanism of Guizhi Jia Longgu Mulitang in improving insomnia. MethodSD rats were randomly divided into the blank group, model group, western medicine group, and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) group, with 10 rats in each group. The rats were deprived of sleep by shallow water environment method in a long platform, and the modeling lasted for 42 d. The blank group and model group were given 0.05 mL·kg-1 normal saline by gavage, and the western medicine group and TCM group were given drugs during modeling. To be specific, the western medicine group was given 0.105 mg·kg-1 dexzopiclone tablet by gavage, while the TCM group was given 7 600 mg·kg-1 Guizhi Jia Longgu Mulitang by gavage, both lasting for 28 days. After successful modeling, the Morris water maze experiment was performed on the 42nd day to detect the motion and spatial memory ability of rats. The levels of IL-10 and TNF-α in serum were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The protein expression of IL-10 and TNF-α in the lung and brain tissue of rats was detected by Western blot. The levels of IL-10 and TNF-α in the lung and brain tissue of rats were detected by immunohistochemistry. ResultCompared with the blank group, the sleep stages non-rapid eye movement ( NREM ) and rapid eye movement ( REM ) of the model group were significantly shortened (P<0.5, P<0.01), and the wake stage was significantly increased (P<0.01). The total time and distance of platform exploration were significantly increased (P<0.01). In the target quadrant (the third quadrant), the percentage of exploration time and the times of crossing the platform were significantly decreased (P<0.01). ELISA results showed that the serum IL-10 level was significantly decreased (P<0.01), and TNF-α level was significantly increased (P<0.01). The results of Western blot showed that the protein expression of IL-10 in brain and lung tissue of rats was significantly decreased (P<0.01), and the protein expression of TNF-α was significantly increased (P<0.01). The results of immunohistochemistry showed that the expression of IL-10 in the brain and lung tissue of rats was significantly decreased (P<0.01), and that of TNF-α was significantly increased (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the NREM stage and REM stage of the western medicine group and the TCM group were significantly increased (P<0.5, P<0.01), and the wake stage was shortened (P<0.5). The total time and distance of platform exploration were significantly decreased (P<0.01). In the target quadrant (the third quadrant), the percentage of exploration time and the times of crossing the platform were significantly increased (P<0.05, P<0.01). The serum IL-10 level was significantly increased (P<0.01), and the serum TNF-α level was significantly decreased according to the ELISA results (P<0.01). The results of Western blot showed that the protein expression of IL-10 in brain tissue and lung tissue was significantly increased (P<0.01), and the protein expression of TNF-α was significantly decreased (P<0.01). The results of immunohistochemistry showed that the expression of IL-10 in brain tissue and lung tissue was significantly increased (P<0.05, P<0.01), and the expression of TNF-α was significantly decreased (P<0.05, P<0.01). ConclusionGuizhi Jia Longgu Mulitang can improve the expression of IL-10 and TNF-α in brain and lung tissue of insomnia rats with sensory dysfunction dominated by lung, prolong sleep time, and then improve insomnia. The mechanism may be related to improving the expression level of inflammatory factors.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy of arthroscopic superior capsular reconstruction using composite autologous patch graft combined with tenodesis of the long head of the biceps tendon in the treatment of irreparable massive rotator cuff tears (IMRCT).Methods:A retrospective case series study was performed on 11 IMRCT patients who were admitted to Affiliated Fuyang Hospital of Bengbu Medical University (Fuyang People′s Hospital) from May 2020 to June 2022, including 7 males and 4 females, aged 54-74 years [(62.6±7.3)years]. All the patients were treated with arthroscopic superior capsular reconstruction using composite patch graft combined with tenodesis of the long head of the biceps tendon. The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Acromiohumeral Distance (AHD), Constant-Murley score and University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) score and active range of motion of the shoulder joint before, at 6 months after surgery and at the last follow-up were compared. At the last follow-up, the integrity of reconstructed superior capsule and the long head of the biceps tendon was evaluated using MRI of the shoulder joint. Postoperative complications were observed.Results:All the patients were followed up for 13-39 months [16(13, 36)months]. The VAS score, AHD, Constant-Murley score, and UCLA score were 2(2, 3)points, (9.1±1.1)mm, (56.1±5.4)points, and (19.7±2.8)points respectively at 6 months after surgery, which were all significantly improved from those before surgery [6(5, 7)points, (5.1±1.2)mm, (37.9±2.2)points, and (11.8±1.2)points] ( P<0.05). The VAS score, AHD, Constant-Murley score, and UCLA score were 0(0, 1)points, (8.4±0.9)mm, (83.6±3.8)points, and (28.2±2.3)points respectively at the last follow-up, which were all significantly improved from those before surgery ( P<0.05). At the last follow-up, the VAS score or AHD were not significantly improved from those at 6 months after surgery ( P>0.05); Constant-Murley score and UCLA score were both significantly improved from those at 6 months after surgery ( P<0.05). At 6 months after surgery, shoulder active ranges of motion in forward flexion, abduction and external rotation were (134.6±13.5)°, (124.6±18.6)° and 45(40, 50)° respectively, which were all significantly improved compared with those before surgery [(63.2±36.1)°, (65.0±23.1)°, and [30(20, 40)°] ( P<0.05). At the last follow-up, shoulder active ranges of motion in forward flexion, abduction and external rotation were (144.1±12.6)°, (139.6±15.4)° and 60(45, 65)° respectively, which were all significantly improved compared with those before surgery ( P<0.05). There were no significant differences in active range of motion of the shoulder in forward flexion, abduction and external rotation between 6 months after surgery and the last follow-up ( P>0.05). At the last follow-up, MRI revealed integrity of the reconstructed superior joint capsule and the long head of the biceps tendon in 10 patients. One patient developed resorption of the greater tuberosity and 1 showed a partial tear of the supraspinatus tendon at 1 year after surgery. Conclusion:Arthroscopic superior capsular reconstruction using composite autologous patch graft combined with tenodesis of the long head of the biceps tendon can relieve shoulder pain, decrease upward displacement of the humerus head, improve the function and range of motion of the shoulder joint, and reduce complications in the treatment of IMRCT.

Heart failure(HF)is a highly morbid syndrome that seriously affects the physical and mental health of patients and generates an enormous socio-economic burden.In addition to cardiac myocyte oxidative stress and apoptosis,which are considered mechanisms for the development of HF,alterations in cardiac energy metabolism and pathological autophagy also contribute to cardiac abnormalities and ultimately HF.Silent information regulator 1(Sirt1)and adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase(AMPK)are nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide(NAD+)-dependent deacetylases and phosphorylated kinases,respectively.They play similar roles in regulating some pathological processes of the heart through regulating targets such as peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivator 1α(PGC-1α),protein 38 mitogen-activated protein kinase(p38 MAPK),peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors(PPARs),and mammalian target of rapamycin(mTOR).We summarized the synergistic effects of Sirt1 and AMPK in the heart,and listed the traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)that exhibit cardioprotective properties by modulating the Sirt1/AMPK pathway,to provide a basis for the development of Sirt1/AMPK activators or inhibitors for the treatment of HF and other cardiovascular diseases(CVDs).
