ObjectiveTo reveal the molecular mechanism by which the traditional Chinese medicine compound prescription Qiangjing tablets regulate the aging of the testicular tissue and Leydig cells in rats through the cyclin-dependent kinase 4 （CDK4）-early 2 factor （E2F） signaling pathway. MethodsFor the cell experiment， 2-month-old SPF-grade SD male rats were selected and randomly assigned into a blank control group （administrated with an equal volume of 0.9% sodium chloride injection） and a Qiangjing tablets group （20 rats in each group） according to body weight. The Leydig cell model of aging was established by treatment of TM3 cells with 100 μmol·L^-1 H₂O₂， and the modeling performance was evaluated based on the levels of p16 and p21 determined by Western blot. The antioxidant NAC （1 mmol·L^-1） was used as the positive control for eliminating reactive oxygen species （ROS）. Cells were intervened with Qiangjing tablets-containing serum at low （2.5%）， medium （5%）， and high （10%） concentrations. The testosterone level in the cell supernatant was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）， and the protein levels of CDK4， E2F1， and E2F2 were analyzed by Western blot. In the animal experiment， 19-month-old naturally aging rats were used as the model group， and 2-month-old rats as the young control group. The positive control group was subcutaneously injected with 5.21 mg·kg^-1·d^-1 testosterone propionate. Qiangjing tablets were administered by gavage at low， medium， and high doses of 0.72， 1.44， 2.88 g·kg^-1·d^-1， respectively. The general conditions of rats were observed， and the protein levels of CDK4， E2F1， and E2F2 in the testicular tissue were determined by Western blot. ResultsIn the cell experiment， compared with the blank control group， the model group showed upregulated expression of CDK4 and E2F1 （P<0.05） and slightly downregulated expression of E2F2. Compared with that in the model group， the expression of CDK4 was upregulated in the NAC group and the low-dose Qiangjing tablets group （P<0.05）， slightly upregulated in the medium-dose Qiangjing tablets group， and downregulated in the high-dose Qiangjing tablets group （P<0.05）. The NAC group showed downregulated expression of E2F1 （P<0.05） and E2F2， and the low-， medium-， and high-dose Qiangjing tablets groups showed downregulated expression of both E2F1 and E2F2 （P<0.05）. Compared with that in the NAC group， the expression of CDK4 was upregulated in the low-dose Qiangjing tablets group and downregulated in the medium-dose and high dose （P<0.05） groups. The expression of E2F1 was down-regulated in all the three dose groups， with statistically significance in the high dose group （P<0.05）， and that of E2F2 were downregulated in all the three dose groups （P<0.05）. In the animal experiment， compared with the young control group， the model group exhibited downregulated expression of CDK4 （P<0.05） and slightly upregulated expression of E2F1 and E2F2. Compared with that in the model group， the expression of CDK4 decreased in the testosterone propionate group and the low-dose Qiangjing tablets group （P<0.05） but increased in the medium-dose （P<0.05） and high-dose groups. In addition， the expression of E2F1 decreased （P<0.05）， and that of E2F2 was slightly elevated. Compared with that in the NAC group， CDK4 expression was elevated in the Qiangjing tablets groups， with statistical significance in the medium- and high-dose groups （P<0.05）. Similarly， the E2F1 expression was also upregulated in the Qiangjing tablets groups， with statistical significance in the medium-dose group （P<0.05）. The expression of E2F2 was downregulated in all the Qiangjing tablets groups. ConclusionQiangjing tablets delay the aging process of Leydig cells and testicular tissue by up-regulating the expression of CDK4 and lowering the levels of E2F1 and E2F2.

ObjectiveBased on the multidimensional correlation analysis framework of "disease， syndrome， formula， and medicine"， this study aims to systematically elucidate the regulatory effects of effective components in Qiangjing tablet on testosterone synthesis pathways in testicular Leydig cells under oxidative stress， providing a theoretical basis for the treatment of male infertility with traditional Chinese medicine and modern research on compounds. MethodsDisease targets for male infertility were obtained from The Human Gene Database （GeneCards， score ≥20）， the Comparative Toxicogenomics Database （CTD， score ≥150）， DrugBank （score ≥0.2）， and DisGeNET （score ≥0.2）. Targets related to the syndrome of kidney deficiency and blood stasis were acquired from the traditional Chinese medicine syndrome association database SymMap. Components of Qiangjing tablet were retrieved based on The Encyclopedia of Traditional Chinese Medicine （ETCM） database and the Integrative Pharmacology-based Research Platform of Traditional Chinese Medicine （TCMIP）， and they were screened according to a quantitative estimate of drug-likeness （QED ≥ 0.49） and a target confidence index>0.8. Intersecting targets were taken to construct a protein-protein interaction （PPI） network using the STRING database. The network was visualized with Cytoscape software and subjected to the functional annotation of gene ontology （GO） and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes （KEGG） pathway enrichment analysis. Quality markers （Q-markers） were predicted via the ADMETlab 2.0 platform based on Lipinski's rule， Pfizer's rule， GSK's rule， and the Golden Triangle. For experimental validation， rats' testicular Leydig cells were used. Exosomes were extracted and loaded with active components via the ultrasonic method. Exosome concentration was determined using a BCA protein quantification kit. Morphology was observed using a transmission electron microscope. The particle size was analyzed with a particle size analyzer. The surface marker proteins such as cluster of differentiation 9 （CD9）， cluster of differentiation 63 （CD63）， and cluster of differentiation 81 （CD81） were identified by Western blot， and drug loading capacity was measured by high-performance liquid chromatography （HPLC）. An oxidative stress model was induced by alpha， alpha'-azodiisobutyramidine dihydrochloride （AAPH）， and Leydig cells were divided into the following groups： A control group， an AAPH group， a quercetin group （Que group）， an exosome group （Exo group）， and a QUE-loaded Exo group （Que-Exo group）. The cell viability was detected using the 3-（4，5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl）-2，5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide （MTT） thiazolyl blue assay. The reactive oxygen species （ROS） levels and mitochondrial membrane potential were measured by flow cytometry. The levels of oxidative indicators， including malondialdehyde （MDA）， superoxide dismutase （SOD）， glutathione peroxidase （GSH-Px）， catalase （CAT）， and testosterone （T）， were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）. The expressions of steroidogenic enzymes such as cytochrome p450 family 11 subfamily a member 1 （CYP11A1）， hydroxy-delta-5-steroid dehydrogenase， 3 beta- and steroid delta-isomerase 1 （HSD3B1）， and hydroxysteroid 17-beta dehydrogenase 3 （HSD17B3）， regulatory factors such as steroidogenic factor 1 （SF-1） and steroidogenic acute regulatory protein （StAR）， and miR-145-5p content， were detected by Western blot and real-time polymerse chain reaction （Real-time PCR）. ResultsNetwork pharmacology analysis reveals that the main active components of Qiangjing tablet for intervening in male infertility with kidney deficiency and blood stasis syndrome were Que， luteolin， etc.， with the core mechanism involving pathways such as steroid hormone biosynthesis. Experimental results show that compared with the control group， the AAPH group exhibits significantly reduced cell viability （P<0.01）， decreased mitochondrial membrane potential （P<0.01）， significantly elevated levels of ROS， MDA， and miR-145-5p （P<0.01）， significantly reduced activities of SOD， GSH-Px， and CAT， as well as reduced testosterone content （P<0.01）， and significantly downregulated protein and mRNA expressions of steroidogenic enzymes， SF-1， and StAR （P<0.01）. The above indicators were reversed in the Que and Que-Exo groups （P<0.05）. Compared with the Que group， the Que-Exo group showed more significant effects in enhancing cell viability， mitochondrial membrane potential， testosterone level， antioxidant enzyme activities， and expressions of key molecules in the steroidogenic pathway （P<0.05）. ConclusionThis study demonstrates that Que， an active component of Qiangjing tablet， inhibits oxidative stress reaction， improves mitochondrial function in Leydig cells， upregulates steroidogenic enzyme expression， and restores testosterone production. As a carrier for Que， Exo enhance its stability， delivery efficiency， and biological effect. Additionally， miR-145-5p may be closely associated with testosterone synthesis， though its precise molecular mechanism requires further exploration. By integrating traditional Chinese medicine compounds with modern scientific technology， this research expands the paths for the modernized research of traditional Chinese medicine and opens a novel therapeutic direction with translational potential for clinical intervention of male infertility.

Clinical trial registration， as a cornerstone for transparency in medical scientific research， aims to systematically and comprehensively disclose key information such as trial design and implementation protocols before trial initiation. This reduces selective reporting and outcome bias， avoids unnecessary duplicate research， thereby protects research participants’ legitimate rights and interests and ethical compliance， and ultimately upholds research integrity and public trust. However， despite the widespread international recognition of its importance and necessity， registration practices worldwide still exhibit significant disparities. From an ethical perspective， this paper deeply analyzed the current status of clinical trial registration and the challenges it confronted， including issues such as insufficient awareness of prospective registration， inconsistent registration standards， persistent difficulties in data openness， sharing， and result disclosure， as well as imbalanced global governance of registration. It further explored multi-dimensional paths involving institutional coordination， technological empowerment， global collaboration， and ethical guidance， to promote clinical trial registration to realize full-cycle closed-loop management from registration and implementation to result reporting. These will provide solid theoretical support and practical references for establishing a more ethically resilient， highly transparent， and sustainably operational clinical trial registration system.

Background: s/Aims: Non-invasive models stratifying clinically significant portal hypertension (CSPH) are limited. Herein, we developed a new non-invasive model for predicting CSPH in patients with compensated cirrhosis and investigated whether carvedilol can prevent hepatic decompensation in patients with high-risk CSPH stratified using the new model. Methods: Non-invasive risk factors of CSPH were identified via systematic review and meta-analysis of studies involving patients with hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG). A new non-invasive model was validated for various performance aspects in three cohorts, i.e., a multicenter HVPG cohort, a follow-up cohort, and a carvediloltreating cohort. Results: In the meta-analysis with six studies (n=819), liver stiffness measurement and platelet count were identified as independent risk factors for CSPH and were used to develop the new “CSPH risk” model. In the HVPG cohort (n=151), the new model accurately predicted CSPH with cutoff values of 0 and –0.68 for ruling in and out CSPH, respectively. In the follow-up cohort (n=1,102), the cumulative incidences of decompensation events significantly differed using the cutoff values of <–0.68 (low-risk), –0.68 to 0 (medium-risk), and >0 (high-risk). In the carvediloltreated cohort, patients with high-risk CSPH treated with carvedilol (n=81) had lower rates of decompensation events than non-selective beta-blockers untreated patients with high-risk CSPH (n=613 before propensity score matching [PSM], n=162 after PSM). Conclusions Treatment with carvedilol significantly reduces the risk of hepatic decompensation in patients with high-risk CSPH stratified by the new model.

Objective:To analyze the clinical characteristics,diagnosis and treatment of pediatric myocardial infarction (MI) patients with coronary artery lesions (CAL) after Kawasaki disease (KD).Methods:Clinical data including baseline characteristics, KD and CAL information, clinical symptoms at MI onset, electrocardiogram (ECG) and imaging findings, MI treatment, and clinical outcomes of 41 MI patients with CAL after KD admitted to the Children′s Hospital of Fudan University from January 2017 to August 2024 were analyzed retrospectively.Results:(1) Demographic characteristics: a total of 41 patients were included (36 males and 5 females). The age at MI was 4.6 (2.3, 5.7) years, and time from KD onset to MI was 397 (50, 1 095) d. (2) Treatment of acute KD: only 15 patients (37%) received standard initial treatment within 10 days of KD onset with intravenous immunoglobulin 2 g/kg. The other 26 cases (63%) received non-standard treatment or no treatment. (3) Treatment of CAL before MI: the time from KD onset to CAL was 14 (10, 116) d, with CAL not identified before MI onset in 15 patients. Among the 26 cases diagnosed with CAL prior to MI, 9 cases received only single or dual antiplatelet drug, of which 7 cases received oral dipyridamole. The remaining 16 cases received antiplatelet drug combined with warfarin, but only 1 case achieved the target international standardized ratio of 1.5-2.5. Out of all 41 cases, only 1 case (2%) received standard antithrombotic treatment before MI onset. (4) Clinical symptoms of MI: at MI onset, 32 patients presented with different clinical symptoms, with typical MI symptoms such as chest tightness, chest pain, precordial discomfort in 18 cases, and cardiopulmonary arrest accompanied by syncope or convulsions in 10 cases. Other non-specific symptoms included abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and pallor. Nine patients were asymptomatic and were found to have silent MI on follow-up. (5) ECG and imaging findings: ECG showed ST-T changes in 33 cases, and abnormal Q waves, and arrhythmias in the remaining patients; echocardiography indicated coronary artery aneurysm with thrombosis in 27 cases, reduced left ventricular ejection fraction in 18 cases, abnormal wall motion in 15 cases, and ventricular aneurysm in 3 cases. Thirty-seven patients underwent coronary angiography and (or) multi-slice spiral CT angiography, with 39 occluded vessels and 3 severe stenosis (≥75%), all of which were caused by giant aneurism with thrombus formation. (6) Treatment of MI: of the 32 patients with acute MI, 9 patients received successful cardiopulmonary resuscitation, 7 patients received intravenous thrombolysis, and 1 patient underwent percutaneous coronary balloon angioplasty. All of these patients received dual antiplatelet drugs and low-molecular-weight heparin at therapeutic doses following MI treatment. Sixteen patients received coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) treatment, all of which were successful. (7) Outcomes: the follow-up time was 994 (215, 1 832) d. Thirty-one patients showed improvement, 5 patients experienced disease progression or no change, 1 patient died, and 4 patients were lost to follow-up.Conclusions:MI in children with CAL after KD often occurs within 1 year after the onset of KD. MI can present with atypical clinical symptoms in children. CABG is the main treatment option in children severe CAL after KD who developed MI.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between serum insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) levels and intracranial or extracranial atherosclerosis in patients with cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD).Methods:A total of 407 patients with CSVD admitted to Xiangya Hospital of Central South University between July 2021 and September 2023 were enrolled in the study. Carotid duplex ultrasound was used to measure the internal diameter, intima-media thickness (IMT), vascular wall thickness, plaque property score, stenosis index, and stenosis ratio of the bilateral common carotid arteries, internal carotid arteries, external carotid arteries, and vertebral arteries. Magnetic resonance angiography was used to assess the degree of stenosis in intracranial arteries. Patients were divided into 4 groups based on the serum IGF-1 levels (low level group:≤5.21 ng/ml, medium level group:>5.21 ng/ml and ≤10.73 ng/ml, high level group:>10.73 ng/ml and ≤24.26 ng/ml, extremely high level group:>24.26 ng/ml). The IMT of the common carotid artery, carotid plaques, diameters of various cervical vascular lumens, carotid artery diameter stenosis, and intracranial artery stenosis in 4 groups of the patients were compared. The relationship between IGF-1 and intracranial and extracranial atherosclerosis was analyzed by univariate Logistic regression analysis and multivariate Logistic regression analysis.Results:There were inter group differences among the 4 groups in internal carotid artery diameter [low level group 5.45 (0.50) mm vs medium level group 5.32 (0.55) mm vs high level group 5.30 (0.55) mm vs extremely high level group 5.30 (0.50) mm; H=8.210, P=0.042]. The carotid IMT [low level group 0.80 (0.05) mm vs medium level group 0.80 (0.05) mm vs high level group 0.83 (0.03) mm vs extremely high level group 0.83 (0.09) mm; H=8.107, P=0.044], the proportion of carotid artery vascular wall thickening [low level group 52.9%(54/102) vs medium level group 48.0%(49/102) vs high level group 68.3%(69/101) vs extremely high level group 60.8%(62/102); χ2=9.889, P=0.020], the carotid artery plaque property score [low level group 1 (2) vs medium level group 2 (2) vs high level group 2 (2) vs extremely high level group 2 (2); H=8.913, P=0.030] and the proportion of anterior cerebral artery stenosis [low level group 2.9%(3/102) vs medium level group 2.0%(2/102) vs high level group 4.0%(4/101) vs extremely high level group 10.8%(11/102); χ2=10.473, P=0.014] had inter group differences among the 4 groups, and the differences were statistically significant. Univariate Logistic regression analysis indicated that carotid artery vascular wall thickening ( OR=1.197, 95% CI 1.003-1.429, P=0.046), anterior cerebral artery stenosis ( OR=1.814, 95% CI 1.148-2.867, P=0.011), and basilar artery stenosis ( OR=1.530, 95% CI 1.084-2.159, P=0.015) were correlated with IGF-1 levels. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis revealed that after adjusting for age, gender, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and C-reactive protein, IGF-1 was positively correlated with the carotid artery vascular wall thickening ( OR=1.311, 95% CI 1.014-1.696, P=0.039); after adjusting for age, IGF-1 was positively correlated with the anterior cerebral artery stenosis ( OR=2.130, 95% CI 1.201-3.776, P=0.010); after adjusting for gender, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and cholesterol levels, IGF-1 was positively correlated with basilar artery stenosis ( OR=1.688, 95% CI 1.063-2.681, P=0.027). Conclusions:There is an association between IGF-1 levels and intracranial and extracranial atherosclerosis in patients with CSVD. IGF-1 may play a role in the development and progression of atherosclerosis in CSVD.

Background: s/Aims: Non-invasive models stratifying clinically significant portal hypertension (CSPH) are limited. Herein, we developed a new non-invasive model for predicting CSPH in patients with compensated cirrhosis and investigated whether carvedilol can prevent hepatic decompensation in patients with high-risk CSPH stratified using the new model. Methods: Non-invasive risk factors of CSPH were identified via systematic review and meta-analysis of studies involving patients with hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG). A new non-invasive model was validated for various performance aspects in three cohorts, i.e., a multicenter HVPG cohort, a follow-up cohort, and a carvediloltreating cohort. Results: In the meta-analysis with six studies (n=819), liver stiffness measurement and platelet count were identified as independent risk factors for CSPH and were used to develop the new “CSPH risk” model. In the HVPG cohort (n=151), the new model accurately predicted CSPH with cutoff values of 0 and –0.68 for ruling in and out CSPH, respectively. In the follow-up cohort (n=1,102), the cumulative incidences of decompensation events significantly differed using the cutoff values of <–0.68 (low-risk), –0.68 to 0 (medium-risk), and >0 (high-risk). In the carvediloltreated cohort, patients with high-risk CSPH treated with carvedilol (n=81) had lower rates of decompensation events than non-selective beta-blockers untreated patients with high-risk CSPH (n=613 before propensity score matching [PSM], n=162 after PSM). Conclusions Treatment with carvedilol significantly reduces the risk of hepatic decompensation in patients with high-risk CSPH stratified by the new model.

This study aims to explore the medication rules and mechanisms of treating chronic renal failure(CRF) by Jinling medical school based on data mining, network pharmacology, and experimental validation systematically and deeply. Firstly, the study selected the papers published by the inherited clinicians in Jinling medical school in Chinese journals using the subject headings named "traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) + chronic renal failure", "TCM + chronic renal inefficiency", or "TCM + consumptive disease" in China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang, and VIP Chinese Science and Technology Periodical Database and screened TCM formulas for treating CRF according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. The study analyzed the frequency of use of single TCM and the four properties, five tastes, channel tropism, and efficacy of TCM used with high frequency and performed association rule and clustering analysis, respectively. As a result, a total of 215 TCM formulas and 235 different single TCM were screened, respectively. The TCM used with high frequency included Astragali Radix, Rhei Radix et Rhizoma, Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, Poria, and Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma(top 5). The single TCM characterized by "cold properties, sweet flavor, and restoring spleen channel" and the TCM with the efficacy of tonifying deficiency had the highest frequency of use, respectively. Then, the TCM with the rules of "blood-activating and stasis-removing" and "diuretic and dampness-penetrating" appeared. In addition, the core combination of TCM [(Hexin Formula, HXF)] included "Astragali Radix, Rhei Radix et Rhizoma, Poria, Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix, and Angelicae Sinensis Radix". The network pharmacology analysis showed that HXF had 91 active compounds and 250 corresponding protein targets including prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2(PTGS2), PTGS1, sodium voltage-gated channel alpha subunit 5(SCN5A), cholinergic receptor muscarinic 1(CHRM1), and heat shock protein 90 alpha family class A member 1(HSP90AA1)(top 5). Gene Ontology(GO) function analysis revealed that the core targets of HXF predominantly affected biological processes, cellular components, and molecular functions such as positive regulation of transcription by ribonucleic acid polymerase Ⅱ and DNA template transcription, formation of cytosol, nucleus, and plasma membrane, and identical protein binding and enzyme binding. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG) analysis revealed that CRF-related genes were involved in a variety of signaling pathways and cellular metabolic pathways, primarily involving "phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase(PI3K)-protein kinase B(Akt) pathway" and "advanced glycation end products-receptor for advanced glycation end products". Molecular docking results showed that the active components in HXF such as isomucronulatol 7-O-glucoside, betulinic acid, sitosterol, and przewaquinone B might be crucial in the treatment of CRF. Finally, a modified rat model with renal failure induced by adenine was used, and the in vivo experimental confirmation was performed based on the above-mentioned predictions. The results verify that HXF can regulate mitochondrial autophagy in the kidneys and the PI3K-Akt-mammalian target of rapamycin(mTOR) signaling pathway activation at upstream, so as to alleviate renal tubulointerstitial fibrosis and then delay the progression of CRF.

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the relationship between the polygenic risks for various psychiatric disorders and clinical and neuropsychological characteristics in children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). METHODS: Using a cross-sectional design, 285 children with ADHD and 107 healthy controls were assessed using the Child Behavior Checklist, the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function for parents, the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children, Fourth Edition, and the Cambridge Neuropsychological Test Automated Battery. Blood samples were collected for genetic data. Polygenic risk scores (PRSs) for various psychiatric disorders were calculated using the PRSice-2 software. RESULTS: Compared with the healthy controls, the children with ADHD displayed significantly higher PRSs for ADHD, major depressive disorder, anxiety disorder, and obsessive-compulsive disorder (P<0.05). In terms of daily-life executive function, ADHD-related PRS was significantly correlated with the working memory factor; panic disorder-related PRS was significantly correlated with the initiation factor; bipolar disorder-related PRS was significantly correlated with the shift factor; schizophrenia-related PRS was significantly correlated with the inhibition, emotional control, initiation, working memory, planning, organization, and monitoring factors (P<0.05). The PRS related to anxiety disorders was negatively correlated with total IQ and processing speed index (P<0.05). The PRS related to obsessive-compulsive disorder was negatively correlated with the processing speed index and positively correlated with the stop-signal reaction time index of the stop-signal task (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS PRSs for various psychiatric disorders are closely correlated with the behavioral and cognitive characteristics in children with ADHD, which provides more insights into the heterogeneity of ADHD.
