OBJECTIVE To study the efficacy of Tianjiang xueshuantong pills in the treatment of coronary heart disease. METHODS In accordance with the common pathogenesis of coronary heart disease, acute myocardial ischemia model, hyperlipidemia model, blood stasis model, and carotid artery thrombosis model were established using Wistar rats or SD rats as the experimental subjects. The effects of Tianjiang xueshuantong pills administered at high, medium, and low doses (0.6, 1.2 and 2.4 g/kg) on hemodynamic parameters and myocardial enzyme markers [lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), creatine kinase-MB (CK- MB)], oxidative stress factors [superoxide dismutase (SOD), malondialdehyde (MDA), glutathione (GSH)], inflammatory cytokines [tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), IL-1β, monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1), intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1)], myocardial infarction percentage, serum lipid indexes [total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), high-density lipoprotein (HDL)], platelet aggregation function 话:022-84845240。E-mail:jiangx@tjipr.com [maximum aggregation rate (MAR)], and thrombus formation indexes [thrombosis time, thrombus mass, thrombus protein content, plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1), and tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA)] were evaluated in the rat models. RESULTS In myocardial ischemia tests, Tianjiang xueshuantong pills significantly reduced the percentage of myocardial infarction and the levels of CK-MB, LDH, MDA, GSH, IL-6, TNF-α, IL- 1β, and MCP-1 in serum (P<0.05 or P<0.01). In hyperlipidemia tests, high dose of Tianjiang xueshuantong pills significantly reduced the serum levels of TC, LDL and significantly increased the level of HDL in rats after 2 weeks and 4 weeks of administration. In blood stasis tests, different doses of Tianjiang xueshuantong pills significantly reduced MAR of rats (P<0.01). In artery thrombosis tests, high dose of Tianjiang xueshuantong pills significantly prolonged the time of thrombosis formation (P< 0.01), significantly reduced the weight and protein content of thrombus and the level of PAI-1 in serum (P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS Tianjiang xueshuantong pills exert therapeutic effects on coronary heart disease through multi-dimensional synergistic actions, including anti-myocardial ischemia, lipid-lowering, and anti-thrombotic effects.

BackgroundNon-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) behavior among adolescents has become a global public health concern. Anxiety and depression are considered key factors influencing NSSI behavior, while social support may play a protective role in alleviating emotional and behavioral issues. However, existing research has primarily focused on the direct impact of individual factors on NSSI behavior, with insufficient exploration of the combined effects of anxiety, depression and social support. ObjectiveTo investigate the direct effect of anxiety on NSSI, the mediating role of depression and the moderating role of social support in relationship between anxiety and NSSI behavior, thus to provide references for the prevention and intervention of NSSI behavior among adolescents. MethodsIn February 2022, a total of 40 820 students in grades 7 to 12 across 10 middle schools in a district of Chengdu were selected as participants, and they were assessed using Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale-7 item (GAD-7), Patient's Health Questionnaire Depression Scale-9 item (PHQ-9), Social Support Scale for Urban Students (SSSUS) and Adolescent Self-Harm Scale (ASHS). Pearson correlation analysis was conducted to examine the correlations between scale scores among adolescents with NSSI behaviors. Mediation and moderation analyses were performed using Process 3.5 in SPSS, and the significance was tested with bootstrapping. The interaction was visualized by using simple slope analysis. ResultsAmong 34 534 (84.60%) valid respondents, 542 adolescents (1.57%) reported engaging in NSSI behavior. Significant differences in gender, GAD-7 scores, PHQ-9 scores, and SSSUS scores were observed between NSSI behavior group and non-NSSI group (χ²/t=62.889, 71.120, 94.365, -41.464, P<0.01).Adolesents with NSSI showed positive correlations between GAD-7 scores and both ASHS and PHQ-9 scores (r=0.158, 0.166, P<0.01). PHQ-9 scores were positively correlated with ASHS scores (r=0.364, P<0.01), but negatively correlated with SSSUS scores (r=-0.290, P<0.01). SSSUS scores were negatively correlated with ASHS scores (r=-0.247, P<0.01). Depression partially mediated the relationship between anxiety and NSSI behavior, with an effect size of 0.544 (95% CI: 0.162~0.944), accounting for 35.79% of the total effect. Social support moderated the relationship between depression and NSSI bahavior, with an effect value of -0.082 (95% CI: -0.135~-0.029). ConclusionAnxiety not only directly influences NSSI bahavior among adolescents, also indirectly exacerbates it through depression, while social support mitigates the impact of depression on NSSI behavior.

As a commonly used traditional Chinese medicine in clinical practice, Tripterygium wilfordii has the functions of dispelling wind and removing dampness, detoxicating and destroying parasites, detumescence, pain relief, promoting blood circulation, and dredging collateral. Modern pharmacological studies show that it also has other functions such as anticancer, anti-inflammation, and immunosuppression. It has been widely used to treat autoimmune diseases, renal diseases, and tumors. T. wilfordii contains a variety of chemical components, among which triptolide (TP) can cause varying degrees of damage to human digestive, circulatory, reproductive, and other systems, with liver injury being the most common one, which greatly limits the development of TP in new drug research and industrial application. Therefore, the authors focused on the research hotspot of TP-induced liver injury and summarized relevant Chinese and international literature regarding the clinical manifestations, injury mechanisms, and detoxification strategies of TP-induced liver injury. This helps to provide a scientific basis for the clinical drug safety and scientific drug supervision of TP. The clinical manifestations of TP-induced liver injury are mostly abnormal transaminases, loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting, anorexia, yellow staining of skin and sclera, and yellow urine. The mechanisms of the above clinical manifestations involve apoptosis, oxidative stress, influence on cytochrome P450 superfamily, macrophage polarization, regulation of biological clock gene Clock, etc. Among them, cell apoptosis is related to neurogenic locus notch homolog protein 1 (Notch1), dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp1)-cytochrome C (Cyt C), phosphatidylinositide 3-kinases (PI3K)/protein kinase B (Akt), mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), tumor suppressor protein 53 (p53), Fas cell surface death receptor (Fas)/Caspase-8, and other signaling pathways. Oxidative stress is related to inhibition of nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2) signaling pathway, promotion of cytochrome P450 2E1 (CYP2E1) expression, and excessive accumulation of reactive oxygen (ROS). The influence of the cytochrome P450 superfamily is manifested as reducing the substrate affinity, activity, and expression of cytochrome P450 3A (CYP3A), cytochrome P450 2C9 (CYP2C9), cytochrome P450 2C19 (CYP2C19), and cytochrome P450 1A2 (CYP1A2). Promoting the transformation of macrophages into the M1 type is related to the secretion of inflammatory factors and the accumulation of endotoxin, and the internal rhythmic regulation of the biological clock gene Clock, is related to the expression of cytochrome P450 3A11 (CYP3A11) metabolic enzyme. The detoxification strategies in the clinical application include herbs-processing detoxification strategy and drug-pairing detoxification. The traditional Chinese medicines and monomers that are helpful for detoxification include Glycyrrhiza uralensis, Paeonia lactiflora, Lysimachia christinae, Rehmannia glutinosa, saffron, and paeoniflorin. The reviews and discussion about these topics can help to provide more references for related research and clinical application of TP.

Objectives To investigate the relationship between self-reported occupational noise exposure and levels of plasma inflammatory cytokines in asthmatic patients. Methods A total of 910 adult asthmatic patients were selected as the study subjects, and their occupational noise exposure history and other related information were collected. The peripheral blood samples were collected from the patients, and the expression levels of plasma soluble CD14 (sCD14), complement factor D (CFD), Eotaxin-11 (CCL11), and IL-9 were determined. The relationship between self-reported occupational noise exposure and the expression levels of the four inflammatory cytokines in patients’ plasma were analyzed using multiple linear regression models. The interactions between confounding factors and self-reported occupational noise exposure were further analyzed by interaction analysis. Results The plasma CCL11, sCD14 and CFD expressions in asthmatic patients with self-reported occupational noise exposure were significantly higher than those in patients without the exposure (P<0.05). After adjusting for confounding factors, compared with patients reporting no occupational noise exposure, the plasma CFD expression was increased by 0.17 (95% CI: 0.02, 0.31) natural logarithm units in patients with self-reported occupational noise exposure. During remission, the levels of plasma CCL11 and sCD14 in asthmatic patients with self-reported occupational noise exposure were increased by 0.27 (95% CI: 0.05, 0.49) and 0.22 (95% CI: 0.02, 0.41) natural logarithm units, respectively, when compared with patients without the exposure. Interaction analysis showed that self-reported occupational noise exposure had significant multiplicative interaction with smoking or pet ownership on plasma CCL11 or CFD expressions in asthmatic patients (all P<0.05). Conclusion Self-reported occupational noise exposure is significantly associated with increased expression levels of plasma CFD, CCL11, and sCD14 in adult asthmatic patients.

OBJECTIVE:
To determine the role of Tripterygium wilfordii multiglycoside (TGW) in the treatment of psoriatic dermatitis from a cellular immunological perspective.
METHODS:
Mouse models of psoriatic dermatitis were established by imiquimod (IMQ). Twelve male BALB/c mice were assigned to IMQ or IMQ+TGW groups according to a random number table. Histopathological changes in vivo were assessed by hematoxylin and eosin staining. Ratios of immune cells and cytokines in mice, as well as PAM212 cell proliferation in vitro were assessed by flow cytometry. Pro-inflammatory cytokine expression was determined using reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction.
RESULTS:
TGW significantly ameliorated the severity of IMQ-induced psoriasis-like mouse skin lesions and restrained the activation of CD45+ cells, neutrophils and T lymphocytes (all P<0.01). Moreover, TGW significantly attenuated keratinocytes (KCs) proliferation and downregulated the mRNA levels of inflammatory cytokines including interleukin (IL)-17A, IL-23, tumor necrosis factor α, and chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 1 (P<0.01 or P<0.05). Furthermore, it reduced the number of γ δ T17 cells in skin lesion of mice and draining lymph nodes (P<0.01).
CONCLUSIONS
TGW improved psoriasis-like inflammation by inhibiting KCs proliferation, as well as the associated immune cells and cytokine expression. It inhibited IL-17 secretion from γ δ T cells, which improved the immune-inflammatory microenvironment of psoriasis.
