Objective To investigate the therapeutic effect of Huangkui capsules on targeted drug-related proteinuria in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on clinical data of HCC patients with targeted drug-related proteinuria from June 2023 to December 2024 at Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University. According to the treatment plan, patients were divided into the conventional treatment group and the Huangkui combination treatment group (Huangkui capsules combined with conventional treatment), and the clinical efficacy between the two groups was compared. The logistic regression analysis was used to identify the main factors affecting treatment efficacy. Results The Huangkui combination treatment group (n=29) showed a significantly higher overall effective rate (79.3% vs 42.3%, P=0.005), and an earlier proteinuria improvement (median time: 3 months vs 6 months, P=0.008) than the conventional treatment group (n=26) . The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI) or angiotensin Ⅱ receptor blocker (ARB) using (OR=0.190, 95%CI 0.045-0.808, P=0.025), targeted drug adjustment (OR=0.132, 95%CI 0.030-0.581, P=0.007), and Huangkui capsules using (OR=0.168, 95%CI 0.039-0.730, P=0.017) were protective factors for treatment efficacy of targeted drug-related proteinuria. Conclusions On the basis of conventional treatment, additive treatment with Huangkui capsules can alleviate targeted drug-related proteinuria faster and more effectively in HCC patients.

Objective:
To explore the intervention effects of different exercise modalities on executive function in school aged children, providing references for formulating exercise prescriptions to promote school aged children executive function.
Methods:
A systematic literature search was conducted using PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, CNKI, Wanfang, VIP and CBM to identify studies on the effects of exercises on executive function in school aged children. The search period spanned from the database inception to August 2025. Two researchers independently screened the literature, extracted data, and evaluated the risk of bias of the included studies. Network Meta analysis was performed using Stata 16.0.
Results:
A total of 51 studies involving 5 710 school aged children and seven modalities of exercises(control group,small ball sports,large ball sports,aerobic exercise,combined exercise,sport game,gymnastic and dance sports) were finally included. Network Meta analysis showed that, in terms of inhibitory control development of school aged children, small ball sports ( SMD =-0.98,95% CI =-1.32 to -0.64 ), large ball sports ( SMD =-0.64,95% CI =-0.91 to -0.36), and mixed sports ( SMD =-0.26,95% CI =-0.50 to -0.02]) were more effective than the control group; in terms of working memory, largeball sports ( SMD =-1.26,95% CI =-1.88 to -0.65) and small ball sports ( SMD =-0.91,95% CI =-1.64 to -0.19) were superior to the control group; in terms of improving cognitive flexibility, large ball sports ( SMD =-1.02,95% CI =-1.28 to -0.76), gymnastics and dance sports ( SMD =-0.80,95% CI =-1.21 to -0.40), and small ball sports ( SMD =-0.75,95% CI =-1.15 to -0.36) were more effective than the control group (all P <0.05). Surface under cumulative ranking curve(SUCRA) showed that small ball sports had the highest value (SUCRA=98.9%) in improving inhibitory control, while large ball sports achieved the highest score(SUCRA=92.6%) in enhancing working memory, and large ball sports also had the highest value(SUCRA=94.7%) in promoting cognitive flexibility.
Conclusions
For developing inhibitory control in school aged children, small ball sports are recommended as a priority. For enhancing working memory and cognitive flexibility, large ball sports are recommended.

Gastric precancerous lesions, often presenting as decreased appetite, weight loss, fatigue, epigastric fullness, and upper abdominal pain, pose challenges to treatment and considerably affect patients' quality of life. Pathologically, these lesions are characterized by alterations in the gastric mucosa accompanied by intestinal metaplasia or dysplasia, which markedly elevate the risk of developing gastric cancer. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) practitioners have explored various therapeutic approaches focusing on invigorating the spleen, resolving dampness, clearing heat, addressing phlegm accumulation, activating blood, and detoxifying. For contemporary populations suffering from gastric precancerous lesions, our team has innovatively proposed a core pathogenesis theory encompassing deficiency, stagnation, phlegm, stasis, and toxin. Furthermore, our team has developed a comprehensive prevention and treatment framework: Invigorating the spleen and harmonizing the stomach (foundational principles), balancing and restoring Qi movement (primary objectives), resolving phlegm and unblocking collaterals (routine practices), detoxifying and dissipating nodules (critical interventions), and comprehensive health management (supportive care). This framework provides a robust theoretical foundation along with practical guidance for preventing and treating diseases related to the spleen-stomach axis. From a pathological perspective, key interventions for managing gastric precancerous lesions include restoring integrity of the gastric mucosae while regulating its microenvironmental conditions and enhancing mucosal circulation, which are integral throughout the entire treatment process. On this basis, a full-course chain of prevention and treatment has been established within clinical practice, encompassing functional gastrointestinal disorders-superficial gastritis-atrophic gastritis-gastric precancerous lesions-prevention and treatment post-endoscopic submucosal dissection. The guiding principles of this treatment approach involve invigorating the spleen, regulating Qi movement, resolving phlegm, unblocking collaterals, and detoxifying. TCM compound formulas such as Jianpi Tongluo Jiedu prescription and Hezhong Xiaopi granules, as well as Chinese patent medicines like Weifuchun and Moluodan, can be used for treating gastric precancerous lesions at different stages. Through medicinal regulation, the state of the gastric mucosa can be improved, and thus the development of gastric precancerous lesions can be curbed from the perspective of full-course prevention and treatment.

Senile chronic atrophic gastritis (SCAG) is a condition characterized by high prevalence, prolonged duration, and difficulty in treatment, along with a significant risk of carcinogenesis. This severely impacts the quality of life among the elderly population in China. The prevention and management of SCAG represent one of the most urgent and prominent needs within the current health care and elderly care sectors. However, existing treatment options are limited, with insufficient mucosal repair following Helicobacter pylori eradication, as well as a lack of effective methods to reverse atrophy or intestinal metaplasia. The primary objectives in treating chronic gastritis in older adults are symptom relief and alleviation of mucosal histological abnormalities. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) offers unique advantages for managing patients with SCAG. Therefore, utilizing TCM methodologies underpinned by TCM theory to prevent and treat the progression of SCAG holds considerable clinical significance. Our research team has been dedicated to theoretical, clinical, and fundamental investigations into gastric precancerous lesions and SCAG for an extended period. This article systematically reviews the intricate causal relationship between the spleen-stomach system and aging while elucidating TCM pathogenesis of SCAG as internal deficiency coupled with excess in manifestations. It explores evolutionary patterns of dampness, stagnation, stasis, toxicity, and deficiency and proposes a progressive pathogenic evolution chain: Aging-deficiency of spleen and kidney-imbalance of Qi and blood-phlegm turbidity accompanied by Qi stagnation-accumulation of phlegm, stasis, and toxicity-weakness of stomach collaterals. The core treatment principle emphasizes simultaneous treatment targeting both spleen and kidney as its foundation while employing strategies such as promoting Qi movement to resolve dampness, alongside efforts aimed at removing stasis and detoxifying as primary approaches. Finally, this article summarizes current research achievements in TCM interventions for SCAG, aiming to provide new insights for clinical practice and scientific research in TCM interventions for SCAG.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of Danggui Shaoyaosan on ferroptosis in the rat model of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and explore the underlying mechanism based on the nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2)/solute carrier family 7 member 11 (SLC7A11)/glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) signaling pathway. MethodsThe sixty SD rats were randomly grouped as follows: control, model, Yishanfu (0.144 g·kg-1), and low-, medium-, and high-dose (2.44, 4.88, and 9.76 g·kg-1, respectively) Danggui Shaoyaosan. A high-fat diet was used to establish the rat model of NAFLD. After 12 weeks of modeling, rats were treated with corresponding agents for 4 weeks. Then, the body weight and liver weight were measured, and the liver index was calculated. At the same time, serum and liver samples were collected. The levels or activities of total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and Fe2+ in the serum and TC, TG, free fatty acids (FFA), malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPX), and Fe2+ in the liver were measured. Hematoxylin-eosin staining and oil red O staining were employed to observe the pathological changes in the liver. Immunofluorescence was used to assess the reactive oxygen species (ROS) content in the liver. Mitochondrial morphology was observed by transmission electron microscopy. The protein levels of Nrf2, SLC7A11, GPX4, transferrin receptor 1 (TFR1), and divalent metal transporter 1 (DMT1) in the liver were determined by Western blot. ResultsCompared with the control group, the model group showed increases in the body weight, liver weight, liver index, levels or activities of TC, TG, ALT, AST, and Fe2+ in the serum, levels of TC, TG, FFA, MDA, Fe2+, and ROS in the liver, and protein levels of TFR1 and DMT1 in the liver (P<0.01), and decreases in the activities of SOD, GPX and the protein levels of Nrf2, SLC7A11, and GPX4 in the liver (P<0.05, P<0.01). Meanwhile, the liver tissue in the model group presented steatosis, iron deposition, mitochondrial shrinkage, and blurred or swollen mitochondrial cristae. Compared with the model group, all doses of Danggui Shaoyaosan reduced the body weight, liver weight, liver index, levels or activities of TC, TG, ALT, AST, and Fe2+ in the serum, levels of TC, TG, FFA, MDA, Fe2+, and ROS in the liver, and protein levels of TFR1 and DMT1 in the liver (P<0.01), while increasing the activities of SOD and GPX and the protein levels of Nrf2, SLC7A11, and GPX4 in the liver (P<0.01). Furthermore, Danggui Shaoyaosan alleviated steatosis, iron deposition, and mitochondrial damage in the liver. ConclusionDanggui Shaoyaosan may inhibit lipid peroxidation and ferroptosis by activating the Nrf2/SLC7A11/GPX4 signaling pathway to treat NAFLD.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the impact of Netupitant and palonosetron hydrochloride capsules (NEPA) on the pharmacokinetics of Paclitaxel for injection (albumin bound) (i. e. albumin-bound paclitaxel) under different intestinal microenvironment conditions. METHODS Male SD rats were divided into a normal group and a model group (n=16). Rats in the model group were intragastrically administered vancomycin solution to establish an intestinal disorder model. The next day after modeling, intestinal microbiota diversity was analyzed, and the mRNA expressions of cytochrome P450 3A1 (CYP3A1) and CYP2C11 in small intestine and liver tissues as well as those protein expressions in liver tissue were measured. Male SD rats were grouped as described above (n=16). The normal group was subdivided into the TP chemotherapy group (TP-1 group) and the TP chemotherapy+NEPA group (TP+NEPA-1 group); the model group was subdivided into the TP chemotherapy group (TP-2 group) and the TP chemotherapy+NEPA group (TP+NEPA-2 group) (n=8). Rats in the TP+NEPA-1 and TP+NEPA-2 groups received a single intragastric dose of NEPA suspension (25.8 mg/kg, calculated by netupitant). One hour later, all four groups received a single tail vein injection of albumin-bound paclitaxel and cisplatin. Blood samples were collected at different time points after the last administration. Using azithromycin as the internal standard, plasma paclitaxel concentrations were determined by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. The main pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated using DAS 2.0 software and compared between groups. RESULTS Compared with the normal group, the model group showed significantly decreased Chao1 and Shannon indexes (P<0.05), significant alterations in microbiota composition and relative abundance, and significantly downregulated expressions of CYP3A1 mRNA in liver tissue and CYP2C11 mRNA in both small intestine and liver tissues (P<0.05). Compared with the TP-1 group, the AUC0-t, AUC0-∞, MRT0-t of paclitaxel in the TP-2 group, the cmax, AUC0-t, AUC0-∞ of paclitaxel in the TP+NEPA-1 group and TP+NEPA-2 group were significantly increased or prolonged; CL of paclitaxel in the TP-2 group, Vd and CL of paclitaxel in the TP+NEPA-1 group and the TP+NEPA-2 group were significantly decreased or shortened (P<0.05). Compared with the TP-2 group, cmax of paclitaxel in the TP+NEPA-2 group was significantly increased, and Vd and MRT0-t were significantly decreased or shortened (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Intestinal microbiota disorder affects the mRNA expressions of CYP3A1 and CYP2C11, leading to decreased clearance and increased systemic exposure of paclitaxel. Concomitant administration of NEPA under normal intestinal microbiota condition increases paclitaxel exposure. However, under conditions of intestinal microbiota disorder, concomitant administration of NEPA has a limited impact on paclitaxel systemic exposure.

Objective To explore the mechanism of Medicoscab tincture in the treatment of second-degree burns based on network pharmacology and molecular docking technology. Methods The effective components of the tincture were screened by the TCMSP; the effective components of the tincture and burn related targets were screened by GeneCards and OMIM database; Cytoscape 3.7.2 software was used to draw “Chinese medicine-disease-effective components-targets” network diagram; the related gene ontology (GO) functions and pathways of the tincture were obtained through GO enrichment analysis and Kyoto encyclo-pedia of genes and geomes (KEGG) pathway analysis on the targets through Metascape platform; the pathway bubble diagram was constructed by the pathways enriched in the KEGG database, and finally verified by AutoDockTools for molecular alignment. Results 19 effective components and 179 target intersections of Medicoscab tincture were selected. GO analysis showed the intervention burns process mainly involved the reaction of inorganic substances, the reaction of cells to nitrogen compounds, and the response to xenobiotic stimuli, as well as biological processes such as membrane rafts, vesicular cavities, transcriptional regulatory factor complexes, receptor complexes, and endoplasmic reticulum cavities. KEGG analysis showed the function mainly includes AGE-RAGE signal pathway, PI3K-Akt signal pathway, IL-17 signal pathway, TNF signal pathway, etc. Analysis of cytoscape software showed the core targets were AKT1, TNF, IL-6, GAPDH, TP53, etc. Molecular docking showed that the active components of Medicoscab tincture were docking with multiple targets, among which β- sitosterol had strong binding activity with AKT1, GAPDH and TP53. Conclusion Quercetin, kaempferol, baicalein, β-sitosterol and other core active ingredients in the tincture of making scabs, which could assist in the relief of burns, regulate the signalling pathways such as AGE-RAGE, PI3K-Akt, IL-17, TNF and so on by acting on the targets of AKT1, GAPDH, TP53, IL-6 and so on. This study laid a theoretical foundation for clarifying the mechanism of action of tincture of scab making for the treatment of burn-like diseases.
