ObjectiveTo explore the efficacy and mechanism of Euphorbia humifusa on acute kidney injury （AKI） based on network pharmacology， molecular docking and experimental verification. MethodsThe active components and targets of E. humifusa were retrieved from TCMSP and SwissTargetPrediction database， and the AKI targets were screened by GeneCards and Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man（OMIM） databases. The drug targets and disease targets were intersected to construct a protein-protein interaction network， and the intersection targets were subjected to gene ontology （GO） and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes （KEGG） enrichment analysis. Discover Studio software was used to verify the molecular docking of key components and core targets. Gentamicin （GM） was used to induce AKI rat model. Control group， model group， verapamil （16 mg·kg^-1） group， E. humifusa extract （18， 54， 162 mg·kg^-1·d^-1） group and E. humifusa 70% ethanol extract （423 mg·kg^-1） group were continuously administered for 14 days. Urine volume was detected 24 h after modeling and administration. Serum creatinine （SCr）， Blood urea nitrogen （BUN）， 24-hour urine protein （24 hUTP） and uric acid （UA） content； the contents of malondialdehyde （MDA）， glutathione （GSH）， superoxide dismutase （SOD）， carbon monoxide synthase （NOS） and lactate dehydrogenase （LDH） in kidney were measured. The levels of interleukin （IL）-6 and tumor necrosis factor （TNF）-α in serum were detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay（ELISA） kit. The pathological changes of renal tissue were detected by hematoxylin-eosin （HE） and Masson staining. Western blot was used to detect the expression of PI3K/protein kinase B（Akt）/NF-κB signaling pathway-related proteins. ResultsIn this study， 13 active components such as kaempferol， luteolin， apigenin， gallic acid and quercetin were screened and identified from E. humifusa. Through bioinformatics analysis， these components and AKI have a total of 289 targets， of which 62 are core targets， including Akt1， TNF， tumor protein p53（TP53） and IL-1β. These targets are mainly involved in the regulation of biological processes such as NF-κB signaling pathway， HIF-1 signaling pathway， TNF signaling pathway， PI3K/Akt signaling pathway and mitogen-activated protein kinase（MAPK） signaling pathway. In animal experiments， we successfully constructed a GM-induced AKI model in rats. Compared with the model group， E. humifusa extract could significantly reduce the levels of 24 hUTP， BUN and SCr in rats （P<0.01）， indicating its improvement effect on renal function. In addition， the extract of E. humifusa also significantly reduced LDH activity and MDA content in rat kidney tissue （P<0.05， P<0.01）， and significantly increased SOD， NOS activity and GSH content （P<0.05）， indicating that the extract of E. humifusa has the potential of anti-oxidation and protection of renal function. Further analysis of inflammatory factors showed that the levels of IL-6 and TNF-α in serum of rats treated with E. humifusa extract were significantly decreased （P<0.01）， indicating that E. humifusa extract had anti-inflammatory effects. In addition， the extract of E. humifusa can also regulate the protein expression of PI3K/Akt/NF-κB signaling pathway， which further confirmed its mechanism of reducing GM-induced AKI. ConclusionThe extract of E. humifusa has a significant therapeutic effect on acute kidney injury through its multi-component and multi-target mechanism. Its effect is reflected in improving renal function， anti-oxidation， anti-inflammation and regulating immune response. These findings provide a scientific basis for the application of E. humifusa in the treatment of acute kidney injury， and point out the direction for future drug development and clinical research.

OBJECTIVE To explore the effects of meropenem exposure and degradation levels on clinical efficacy in patients with purulent meningitis （PM）. METHODS A total of 131 PM patients treated with meropenem at the Affiliated Suzhou Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from January 2022 to June 2025 were prospectively included. Relevant data were collected and divided into a cured group （91 cases） and a non-cured group （40 cases） based on the efficacy. High-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry was used to determine the concentration of meropenem and its open-loop metabolites. Risk factors that affect efficacy were screened， and their predictive power and correlation were evaluated by univariate analysis， and multivariate Logistic regression analysis， receiver operating characteristic （ROC） curves， and correlation analysis. RESULTS Univariate analysis showed that serum creatinine， creatinine clearance rate， minimum inhibitory concentration of meropenem ≥16 μg/mL， cerebrospinal fluid red blood cell count， cerebrospinal fluid white blood cell count， cerebrospinal fluid glucose content， blood trough concentration， blood open-loop metabolite concentration/trough concentration ratio， and intrathecal injection were all correlated with efficacy （P＜0.05）. The results of multiple Logistic regression analysis showed that serum creatinine blood open-loop metabolite concentration/trough concentration ratio， intrathecal injection， and cerebrospinal fluid glucose content were influencing factors for suboptimal anti-infective ltt efficacy （P＜0.05）. ROC curve analysis showed that when the blood open-loop metabolite concentration/trough concentration ratio was greater than 2.854 （AUC＝0.647）， serum creatinine was less than 59.5 μmol/L （AUC＝0.647）， and cerebrospinal fluid glucose content was less than 3.37 mmol/L （AUC＝0.709）， the risk of treatment failure significantly increased （P＜0.05）. Correlation analysis showed that the blood trough concentration of meropenem was positively correlated with the concentration of its open-loop metabolites （R 2＝0.134 5， P＜0.000 1）. CONCLUSIONS Insufficient exposure level and rapid degradation of meropenem are key mechanisms affecting the anti-infective efficacy of PM. Elevated blood open-loop metabolite concentration/ trough concentration ratio， low serum creatinine level， lack of intrathecal injection， and low cerebrospinal fluid glucose content are independent risk factors for poor efficacy.

Objective:To investigate the anti-fatigue effect of Dendrobium and Panax Quinquefolius Granules(DPQG)on the overtrained mice,and to clarify its possible mechanism.Methods:A total of 48 mice were randomly divided into control group(equal volume of distilled water),low dose of DPQG group(400 mg·kg-1 DPQG),medium dose of DPQG group(800 mg·kg-1 DPQG),and high dose of DPQG group(1 600 mg·kg-1 DPQG).The DPQG were administered by gavage for 35 d,and the rotarod test and swimming endurance test were performed 30 min after last administration.Serum,liver tissue,and muscle tissue were collected from the mice in various groups.ELISA method was used to detect the serum lacticacid(LAC)levels and lactate dehydrogenase(LDH)activities,and the malondialdehyde(MDA)levels,superoxide dismutase(SOD)and glutathione peroxidase(GSH-Px)activities,and the liver glycogen and muscle glycogen levels in muscle tissue of the mice in various groups;HE staining was used to observe the pathomorphology of muscle tissue of the mice.Transcriptomics and metabolomics technologies were used to identify the key genes and metabolites in muscle tissue of the mice in control group and high dose of DPQG group and to analyze the correlations between differentially expressed genes(DEGs)and differentially expressed metabolites.Results:Compared with control group,the rod turning exhaustion time of the mice in different doses of DPQG groups were significantly increased(P＜0.05),and the swimming exhaution time of the mice in high dose of DPQG group was increased(P＜0.05).Compared with control group,the LDH,SOD,and GSH-Px activities of the mice in medium and high doses of DPQG groups were increased(P＜0.01).Compared with control group,the levels of MDA and liver glycogen of the mice in medium and high doses of DPQG groups were decreased(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01).The transcriptomics sequencing results showed that DPQG mainly acted on DEGs such as Trib3 and Olfr495;the Gene Ontology(GO)functional enrichment analysis and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG)signaling pathway enrichment analysis results showed that the DEGs were mainly enriched in olfactory-related processes and signaling pathways;the metabolomics KEGG analysis results showed that the differential metabolites were mainly enriched in the regulation pathway of inflammatory mediators on tryptophan(TRP);the combined analysis of transcriptomics and metabolomics results showed that the piezo1 gene had high correlations with the differential metabolites β1-solamarine(r=-1,P＜0.05)and tilidine(r=1,P＜0.05).Conclusion:DPQG can exert an anti-fatigue effect on the overtrained mice by modulating LAC metabolism and glycogen homeostasis,as well as maintaining the oxidative/antioxidant balance in the body;its anti-fatigue mechanism is related to the Olfr495 and piezo1 genes and the regulation pathway of inflammatory mediators on TRP channels.

Objective: To explore the moderating role of estradiol in the relationship between parenting styles and preschool children's behavioral problems, so as to provide a theoretical basis for improving the development of human s emotional health development in early life stage. Methods: During September to November in 2022, 354 children aged 3-6 years and their parents from two kindergartens in Bengbu City were chosen by using stratified cluster sampling method for the questionnaire survey. The Parenting Style Scale and the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) were used to collect information on parenting style and child behavioral problems. Salivary estradiol of children was collected and tested. Independent samples t test was applied to compare the scores of the scale for parental up bringing and children s behavioral problems, and Pearson correlation analysis was conducted to explore the relationship among parental upbringing, estradiol and children s behavioral problems. Results: Parents doting, laissez faire, autocratic, and inconsistent parenting styles were positive associated with child behavior problems( r =0.14-0.70); fathers democratic parenting style was negatively associated with child behavior problems( r =-0.14，-0.22，-0.21，-0.17，-0.27，-0.20); mothers democratic parenting styles was negatively correlated with scores on all five dimensions of child behavior problems except the withdrawal dimension ( r =-0.14，-0.12，-0.13，-0.21，-0.12)( P <0.05). Estradiol levels had significant moderating effects on maternal doting parenting style and children s withdrawal ( β =0.68) as well as social problems ( β =-1.00), also moderating laissez faire parenting styles and children s withdrawal problems ( β =0.75)( P <0.05). For children with low levels of estradiol, withdrawal problem scores were negatively associated with mother s doting parenting style and positively associated with laissez faire parenting style, and socialization problem scores were associated with mother s doting parenting style; for children with high levels of estradiol, withdrawal problem scores were positively associated with mother s doting parenting style, and socialization problem scores were associated with mother s doting parenting style ( t=2.84, 6.24, 3.16 , 2.37, 4.49, P <0.05). Conclusions Parenting styles are strongly associated with child behavioral problems; estradiol levels play a moderating role in mothers doting, laissez faire parenting styles and children s withdrawal problems and social problems.Parents should adopt more positive parenting styles and focus on the role of estradiol levels in maternal education to reduce the occurrence of behavioral problems in children.
