ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of Schisandrae Chinensis Fructus lignans on schizophrenia induced by dizocilpine maleate （MK-801） in mice and to clarify its mechanism. MethodsMale mice of 4-6 weeks old were randomized into blank， model， positive drug， and low-， medium-， and high-dose （40， 80， 160 mg·kg^-1， respectively） Schisandrae Chinensis Fructus lignans groups. The blank group was administrated with distilled water， and the other groups were injected with 0.5 mg·kg^-1 MK-801 to induce schizophrenia symptoms. Meanwhile， risperidone was injected at 0.2 mg·kg^-1 in the positive drug group， and mice in the intervention groups were injected with corresponding drugs for 14 consecutive days. The behavioral changes of mice were observed by autonomous activity test， open field test， forced swimming test， and water maze test. The levels of dopamine （DA） and 5-hydroxytryptamine （5-HT） in the brain and tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α） and nuclear factor-κB （NF-κB） in peripheral blood were quantified by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）. The changes in the prefrontal lobe of mice were observed by hematoxylin-eosin staining， and the changes of the hippocampal tissue were observed by Nissl staining. The protein levels of silencing information regulatory factor 1 （SIRT1） and forkhead box protein O3a （FoxO3a） in the hippocampus of mice were determined by Western blot. ResultsCompared with the model group， low， medium， and high doses of Schisandrae Chinensis Fructus lignans reduced the total number of autonomous activities， total distance in the open field test， immobile time in the forced swimming test， and levels of TNF-α and NF-κB in peripheral blood （P<0.05）， while increasing the number of platform crossings in the water maze test and DA and 5-HT levels in the brain tissue （P<0.05）. Compared with the model group， risperidone and low， medium， and high doses of Schisandrae Chinensis Fructus lignans improve the neural cell morphology in the CA1 region， with full cells in neatly dense arrangement and exhibiting clear membrane boundary. Schisandrae Chinensis Fructus lignans inhibited the expression of SIRT 1 and FoxO3a in the hippocampus （P<0.05）. ConclusionTo sum up， Schisandrae Chinensis Fructus lignans may improve the behavior of schizophrenic mice by activating the SIRT1/FoxO3a signaling pathway to exert neuroprotective effects.

BACKGROUND:How to improve the hematopoietic microenvironment is a hot topic in the treatment of aplastic anemia. OBJECTIVE:To explore the action mechanism of Angelica sinensis polysaccharide in the treatment of aplastic anemia by combining GEO sequencing analysis,network pharmacology,and experimental validation. METHODS:Aplastic anemia-related differentially expressed genes were obtained from GEO database,and gene ontology and gene set enrichment analysis were performed.The active components and targets of Angelica sinensis polysaccharide were obtained by combining the literature with PubChem,SwissTargetPrediction,and PharmMapper databases.After the intersection targets were taken,STRING and Cytoscape were used to construct protein-protein interaction network,and gene ontology and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes enrichment analysis was performed.Mouse model of aplastic anemia was established,and the effect and action mechanism of Angelica sinensis polysaccharide on aplastic anemia were verified by blood cell analyzer,flow cytometry,ELISA,immunohistochemistry,immunofluorescence,and western blot assay. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)A total of 834 differentially expressed genes were screened,which were involved in biological processes such as cell development,hematopoiesis,and myeloid cell differentiation.(2)347 targets related to Angelica sinensis polysaccharide were retrieved and 77 potential therapeutic genes were screened.Among them,the degree values of angiogenic,apoptotic,and immune-related factors such as VEGFA,EGLN1,Bcl-2,interferon-γ,interleukin-2,interleukin-4,and interleukin-6 were significant.(3)KEGG pathway enrichment analysis revealed that the therapeutic targets were mainly enriched in Th17 cell differentiation,NK-related cytotoxicity,cell adhesion factors such as interferon-γ,interleukin-2,and interleukin-4 related signaling pathways.(4)Animal experiments showed that Angelica sinensis polysaccharide significantly improved bone marrow haematopoiesis,increased peripheral blood cell,and bone marrow single nucleated cell counts,and improved the survival rate of mice.Compared with the model group,mice in the Angelica sinensis polysaccharide group showed a significant decrease in the ratio of Th1/Th2 cells(P<0.01),a decrease in the expression level of interferon-γ(P<0.01),an increase in the level of interleukin-4(P<0.05),a significant increase in the level of VEGFA(P<0.01),a significant decrease in EGLN1(P<0.01),a significant decrease in apoptosis rate of bone marrow single nucleated cells and reactive oxygen species level(P<0.01),and a significant increase in cleaved Caspase-3 protein expression(P<0.01),and a significant decrease in Bcl-2/Bax ratio(P<0.01).(5)These findings show that Angelica sinensis polysaccharide can improve hematopoiesis of aplastic anemia mice by regulating aberrant T-cell subsets and promoting angiogenesis to improve hematopoietic microenvironment,and inhibiting apoptosis of bone marrow mononuclear cells.

Objective: To observe the clinical efficacy and safety of Yiqi Tongluo Decoction in the intervention of early traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndromes after ischemic cerebrovascular disease (ICVD) intervention. Methods: From October 2020 to July 2023, a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study was conducted to include 60 patients with qi deficiency, blood stasis, and phlegm obstruction syndrome after ICVD interventional therapy. They were assigned to the Yiqi Tongluo Decoction treatment group (30 cases) and the TCM placebo routine treatment control group (30 cases) according to the randomized block design. Both groups received routine standardized treatment of Western medicine, including dual antiplatelet, lipid regulation, and control of risk factors for cerebrovascular disease. The treatment group was treated with Yiqi Tongluo Decoction based on the control group. The course of treatment was 60 days and follow-up was carried out 2 and 6 months after the operation. The improvement of qi deficiency syndrome, blood stasis syndrome, phlegm syndrome score and TCM syndrome score, modified Rankin score (mRS), Barthel index (BI) score, Fatty acid-binding protein 4 (FABP4) level, incidence of transient ischemic attack (TIA) and ischemic stroke (IS) and incidence of adverse reactions, Head and neck CT angiography (CTA) or digital subtraction angiography (DSA) examination were collected. The clinical efficacy of the patients 2 months after the operation was taken as the main outcome index to preliminarily evaluate the early and long-term efficacy of Yiqi Tongluo Decoction after the ICVD intervention. The early and long-term clinical efficacy and safety of Western medicine standardized treatment combined with TCM Yiqi Tongluo Decoction on patients with qi deficiency, blood stasis and phlegm obstruction syndrome after ICVD intervention were evaluated. The safety of Yiqi Tongluo Decoction in the treatment of patients after ICVD intervention with white blood cell (WBC), C-reactive protein (CRP), fibrinogen (FIB), plasminogen time (PT), recurrence of cerebral ischaemia and restenosis in patients at 2 and 6 months after treatment were evaluated. Results: Compared to the control group, the TCM syndrome scores for qi deficiency, blood stasis and phlegm syndrome in the treatment group reduced significantly, the clinical efficacy improved significantly, the mRS score and FABP4 were reduced, and the BI score was increased. Adverse events such as cerebral ischaemia were fewer in the treatment group than in the control group, but the difference was not statistically significant; levels of CRP, WBC and PT were reduced, and levels of FIB were reduced at 6 months post-treatment, all P<0.01, and images were intuitively compared. The treatment group was superior to the control group. Conclusion Yiqi Tongluo Decoction combined with Western medicine standard treatment can improve the early clinical efficacy of ICVD patients with qi deficiency, blood stasis and phlegm obstruction syndrome after interventional surgery, improve neurological impairment and daily living ability, reduce the state of qi deficiency syndrome, blood stasis syndrome and phlegm syndrome after interventional surgery, and improve the clinical efficacy of TCM. At the same time, it can reduce the level of FABP4, the target of atherosclerosis and restenosis after interventional surgery, reduce the level of inflammation after interventional surgery in patients with ICVD, regulate coagulation function, and reduce the incidence of long-term recurrence of cerebral ischemia after interventional surgery, with good safety.

This study systematically summarizes the achievements of viral hepatitis prevention and control in China， analyzes existing problems and challenges， and proposes comprehensive prevention and control strategies and measures to eliminate viral hepatitis as a public health threat based on the national conditions of China， in order to provide a reference for related departments in China on how to achieve the action targets for eliminating viral hepatitis as a public health threat by 2030.

As a new type of model organism， zebrafish is gradually gaining prominence in the field of scientific research. The unique biological characteristics and advantages of zebrafish make them play an increasingly important role in the quality evaluation of traditional Chinese medicine. Compared with other common experimental animals， zebrafish have a fast reproductive and growth speed and high embryo transparency， making them an ideal model for evaluating the quality of traditional Chinese medicine. This provides a new perspective and method for research on traditional Chinese medicine. With the growing global interest in traditional Chinese medicine， it has become crucial to find scientific and accurate methods to evaluate the quality and effectiveness of traditional Chinese medicine. The introduction of the zebrafish model has brought new breakthroughs in the quality evaluation of traditional Chinese medicine. To further promote the application of zebrafish in evaluating the quality of traditional Chinese medicine， this article systematically searched and sorted out the previous studies related to the application of zebrafish for this purpose since 2023. The commonly used disease models and indicators of zebrafish in evaluating the effectiveness of traditional Chinese medicine， as well as the mechanism of zebrafish in exploring the active ingredients of traditional Chinese medicine， were primarily reviewed. The application of zebrafish in evaluating the safety of traditional Chinese medicine and the typical examples in ensuring the quality of traditional Chinese medicine were demonstrated. The limitations encountered by zebrafish models in evaluating the quality of traditional Chinese medicine were highlighted. The resolution of these problems will help further improve the accuracy and reliability of zebrafish in evaluating the quality of traditional Chinese medicine. The article discussed the evaluation of effectiveness， safety， and quality control of zebrafish applied in traditional Chinese medicine， so as to provide a reference for establishing standards for traditional Chinese medicine and promoting its modernization in the future.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the safety/efficacy of compound Kushen injection （CKI） by zebrafish model and explore the possible mechanism. MethodsZebrafish were exposed to different concentrations of CKI solution， and the mortality rate after 24 h was calculated. After exposure to sublethal concentration （10） and safe dose concentration （0） for 24 h， the safety of CKI was evaluated based on acridine orange staining for the liver， liver area changes， and liver histological sections. The inflammatory bowel disease （IBD） model of zebrafish was established with 2，4，6-trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid sol （TNBS）. The efficacy of CKI in the treatment of IBD was evaluated by the changes in the area of neutral red staining， the number of neutrophils， the area of alcian blue staining， and the contents of tight junction protein （Occludin）， zonula occludens-1 （ZO-1）， tumor necrosis factor（TNF）-α， and prostaglandin E₂（PGE₂） in the intestine of zebrafish. The mechanism of CKI in the treatment of IBD was predicted by network pharmacology and verified by real-time polymerase chain reaction（Real-time PCR）. ResultsIn the safety evaluation， compared with the blank group， the sublethal concentration of CKI could cause liver cell apoptosis， liver area reduction， loose and disordered arrangement of liver cell structure， obvious vacuolation， and other pathological characteristics of zebrafish， while these indicators showed no significant changes under safe dose conditions. In the effectiveness evaluation， compared with the model group， the safe dose of CKI could increase the neutral red staining area of the intestine in a dose-dependent manner and improve the intestinal phagocytosis function. It could reduce the accumulation of intestinal neutrophils， increase the alcian blue staining area， enhance intestinal goblet cell secretion， improve the contents of Occludin and ZO-1， and decrease the contents of TNF-α and PGE₂. Network pharmacology analysis identified 288 potential targets for CKI treatment of IBD. The top five targets obtained by protein-protein interaction （PPI） network analysis were epidermal growth factor receptor A（EGFRA）， protein kinase B1（Akt1）， heat shock protein 90（HSP90AA1）， homologous oncogene of avian sarcoma virus（SRC）， and protooncogene （JUN）. Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes（KEGG） results showed that CKI may be related to the Wnt signaling pathway and cholinergic synaptic pathway in the treatment of IBD， and Real-time PCR results verified the above pathways. ConclusionExcessive use of CKI can induce obvious liver injury in zebrafish， while the rational use of CKI does not cause obvious toxic reactions and can achieve a therapeutic effect on IBD by regulating the Wnt pathway.

ObjectiveBased on the zebrafish model， the hepatotoxicity and anti-osteoporotic activity of evodiamine （EVO） were studied. The mechanism of EVO in treating osteoporosis was explored by using network pharmacology and real-time polymerase chain reaction（Real-time PCR）. MethodsThree days after fertilization （3 dpf）， zebrafish were randomly selected and exposed to different concentrations of EVO solution for 96 hours. The mortality rate of zebrafish at different concentrations was calculated at the exposure endpoint， and a "dose-toxicity" curve was drawn. The 10% lethal concentration （LC₁₀） was calculated. Liver phenotype， acridine orange staining， and pathological tissue sections of liver-transgenic zebrafish ［CZ16 （gz15Tg.Tg （fabp 10a： ds Red； ela31： EGFP））］ were used to confirm hepatotoxicity of EVO. On this basis， prednisolone was used to create a model of osteoporosis in zebrafish. The skull development， area of the skull stained by alizarin red， and cumulative optical density were used as indicators to evaluate the anti-osteoporotic activity of EVO in a safe dose. Based on network pharmacology， the mechanism of action of EVO in the treatment of osteoporosis was predicted and verified through Real-time PCR. ResultsThe LC₁₀ of EVO on zebrafish （7 dpf） was determined to be 0.4 mg·L^-1. Compared with the control group， sublethal concentrations （10=0.36 mg·L^-1 and 1/2LC₁₀=0.18 mg·L^-1） significantly decreased the fluorescence area of zebrafish liver （P<0.05，P<0.01） and increased the number of liver cell apoptosis. The arrangement of liver tissue was disordered and loose， and the vacuole was obvious， especially in the 0.36 mg·L^-1 group. Compared with the control group， under safe dose conditions， 0.08 and 0.02 mg·L^-1 of EVO had no significant effect on the liver. Prednisolone administration significantly reduced the mineralization area and cumulative optical density of zebrafish skulls （P<0.01） compared with the control group. The mineralization area and cumulative optical density of zebrafish skulls in the 0.08 and 0.02 mg·L^-1 groups of EVO were significantly increased compared with the model group （P<0.01）. Network pharmacology prediction suggested that EVO may regulate key targets such as avian sarcoma viral oncogene homolog （SRC）， signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 （STAT3）， interleukin-8 （CXCL8） and tyrosine kinase receptor 2 （ERBB2） to regulate signaling pathways related to lipid and atherosclerosis in diabetic complications， as well as the regulation of inflammatory mediators of tryptophan （TRP） channels. Real-time PCR experiment results indicated that EVO could regulate the above-mentioned targets， as well as genes related to osteoblasts and osteoclasts. ConclusionExcessive doses of EVO can lead to hepatotoxicity in zebrafish. Under safe dosage conditions， EVO can regulate relevant targets to exert anti-osteoporotic activity， providing a reference for the clinical safe use of EVO and ideas for the development of new drugs for osteoporosis.

OBJECTIVE To explore the main factors influencing the blood concentration of duloxetine， and provide a scientific basis for the individualized use of duloxetine. METHODS Retrospective analysis was conducted on 434 inpatients with depressive disorders at the First Hospital of Hebei Medical University， who were treated with duloxetine and underwent blood concentration monitoring between January 2022 and April 2024. The study examined the impact of various factors， including gender， age， body mass index （BMI）， gene phenotypes， combined medication， drug type （original/generic）， and genotyping results of gene single nucleotide polymorphism loci， on blood concentration and the concentration-to-dose （C/D） after dose adjustment. RESULTS The blood concentration of duloxetine was 76.65 （45.57， 130.31） ng/mL， and C/D was 0.96 （0.63， 1.60） ng·d/（mL·mg）. The blood concentration of duloxetine was positively correlated with the daily dose of administration （R2＝0.253 7， P＜0.001）. Blood concentration of duloxetine in 38.94% of patients exceeded the recommended range specified in the guidelines. Gender， age， BMI， combined use of CYP2D6 enzyme inhibitors， and CYP2D6 and CYP1A2 phenotypes had significant effects on C/D of duloxetine （P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS The patient’s age， gender， BMI， combined medication， and genetic phenotypes are closely related to the blood concentration of duloxetine.
