This paper summarizes the progress of theoretical research and practice of One Health in China,and discusses the paradigm of One Health governance to improve the prevention and control of infectious diseases in China and the world,and provide an example for the improvement of the public health system.In particular,China has long history to apply the concept of One Health in the national schistosomiasis control programmes and patriotic health campaigns,which were not only focusing on human health,but also emphasizing the sustainable development of animal health and ecological environment.At the same time,the application of tools such as system dynamics model,eDNA technology,One Health economic assessment and global One Health index(GOHI)in the field of disease control and environmental health provides technical support for the concept of One Health.Despite the challenges of practical application of these tools,the One Health concept will play a greater role in providing sustainable solutions for human-animal-environmental health by strengthening interdisciplinary collaboration,improving standardization protocols and promoting inter-national cooperation.

Objective To investigate the effect and potential mechanism of rat mesenchymal stem cells(MSC)on D-galactose-induced brain-tissue aging.Methods A rat brain-aging model was established by injecting D-galactose,and rats in the treatment group received MSC injections via the tail vein.Superoxide dismutase(SOD)activity and malondialdehyde(MDA)levels were assessed in rat brain tissue at the end of the experiment,and pathological changes in brain tissue were observed by hematoxylin-eosin(HE)staining.Expression levels of the inflammatory factors interleukin(IL)-1 and IL-6,the pathway proteins brain-derived neurotrophic factor(BDNF)-tropomyosin receptor kinase B(TrkB),the negative growth regulators p53 and p16,as well as vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)and basic fibroblast growth factor(bFGF)were observed by polymerase chain reaction(PCR)and Western Blot.Results Brain levels of SOD activity were significantly increased and MDA levels were significantly decreased in rats in the modle group compared with the treatment group(P<0.05).The pathological state of the cerebral cortex and hippocampus were improved and the number of neurons and nucleus pulposus ratio in the brain were increased in the treatment group,as shown by HE staining.Expression levels of IL-1,IL-6,p53,and p16 were significantly decreased,while BDNF,TrkB,VEGF,and bFGF were significantly increased in the treatment group compared with the model group,as shown by PCR and Western Blot(P<0.05).Conclusions These result suggest that MSCs potentially mitigate D-galactose-induced cerebral senescence by concurrently modulating the BDNF-TrkB axis to attenuate oxidative/inflammatory damage,while enhancing the secretion of vasculotrophic(VEGF)and neurotrophic(bFGF)factors for neuronal maintenance.

In this study, serum metabolomics techniques and molecular biology methods were used to investigate the intervention effect of kaji-ichigoside F1 on chronic unpredictable mild stress(CUMS) depression mouse model and its mechanism. The CUMS depression mouse model was constructed, and the mice were divided into blank group, model group, escitalopram(ESC, 10 mg·kg~(-1)) group, and low-dose, medium-dose, and high-dose kaji-ichigoside F1 groups(1, 2, and 4 mg·kg~(-1)). CUMS modeling was performed on all mice except the blank group, and the cycle was four weeks. At the end of modelling, ESC and kaji-ichigoside F1 were administered by gavage once a day for 28 days. After the end of the administration, behavioral testing(sucrose preference test, open field test, forced swimming test, and tail suspension test) was conducted to evaluate the improvement of depression symptoms of different doses of kaji-ichigoside F1 on CUMS depression mouse model. The morphology of neurons and the number of Nissl bodies in the hippocampus were observed by Nissl staining. Metabolomics technique was used to analyze the changes in serum differential metabolites in mice. Protein expression levels of P2X7 purinergic receptor(P2X7R), adenosine A1 receptor(A1R), and adenosine receptor A2A(A2AR) in mouse hippocampus were detected by Western blot. The results showed that compared with that in the blank group, the body weight of mice in the model group was significantly decreased, and the sucrose preference rate was significantly decreased. The immobility time was significantly increased in the forced swimming and tail suspension tests, and the total moving distance was significantly decreased in the open field test. The number of Nissl bodies was significantly decreased, and the depression-like behavior and the number of Nissl bodies in the hippocampus of mice were significantly improved after administration of kaji-ichigoside F1. In the metabonomics analysis, the purine metabolism of serum after kaji-ichigoside F1 administration was involved in the metabolic passage of depression, and Western blot analysis verified the expression of P2X7R, A1R, and A2AR proteins in purine metabolic pathways. The results show that kaji-ichigoside F1 significantly decreases the expression of P2X7R and A2AR proteins in the hippocampus of CUMS model mice and increases the expression level of A1R proteins. It is suggested that kaji-ichigoside F1 may play an antidepressant role by regulating the expression of P2X7R, A1R, and A2AR proteins in the purine metabolism pathway.

Objective To investigate the cardiac protective effect of Taohong Tongluo granules on coronary microvascular dysfunction(CMD)rats.Methods SD rats were randomly assigned to sham-operated group,CMD group,nicorandil group(5 mg/kg),or Taohong Tongluo granule group(50 mg/kg).Animals were administered corresponding drugs for 7 d according to the grouping,and the CMD model was prepared 2 h after the last administration.The rat CMD model was induced by injecting embolization microspheres(diameter 40-120 μm,approximately 1 000 microspheres)into the left ventricular cavity.Twenty-four hours after modeling,echocardiography was performed to measure the left ventricular ejection fraction(EF),fractional shortening(FS),and end-diastolic volume(EDV).The damaged myocardial area was assessed by 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride(TTC)staining.Myocardial morphological changes were observed by hematoxylin-eosin(H-E)staining.The protein expression levels of NOD-like receptor family pyrin domain containing protein 3(NLRP3),apoptosis-associated speck-like protein(ASC),and cysteine aspartic acid specific protease(caspase)-1 in rat myocardial tissue were detected by immunohistochemical staining and Western blotting.Results Echocardiography showed that the EF and FS values in the Taohong Tongluo granule group,CMD group,and nicorandil group were significantly lower than those in the sham-operated group(all P<0.001).The EF and FS values in the Taohong Tongluo granule group and nicorandil group were significantly higher than those in the CMD group(all P<0.01).However,there were no significant differences in EDV among the groups(all P>0.05).H-E staining showed no abnormalities in the myocardium in the sham-operated group.The CMD group exhibited microsphere embolism in the myocardium,myocardial cell dissolution and rupture,and inflammatory infiltration.The lesions in the nicorandil group and the Taohong Tongluo granule group were relatively milder,and the number of thrombi in both groups was lower than that in the CMD group(both P<0.01).The results of TTC staining indicated that the areas of damaged myocardial regions in both the nicorandil group and the Taohong Tongluo granule group were smaller than that in the CMD group(P<0.05 or P<0.01).Moreover,the area in the Taohong Tongluo granule group was smaller than that in the nicorandil group(P<0.05).The results of immunohistochemical staining showed that in the CMD model,the expression of ASC and caspase-1 proteins,as well as the number of positive cells for these proteins,was increased and was distributed in myocardial and interstitial cells.The numbers of ASC and caspase-1 positive cells in the Taohong Tongluo granule group were lower than that in the CMD group(both P<0.01).The Western blotting showed that the expression levels of NLRP3,ASC,and caspase-1 proteins in the Taohong Tongluo granule group were all lower than those in the CMD group(all P<0.05).Conclusion Taohong Tongluo granules can improve cardiac function,ameliorate hemodynamic parameters,and reduce myocardial infarction area in rats with CMD induced by microsphere embolism.The mechanism is related to the inhibition of myocardial inflammasome activation,thereby attenuating the myocardial injuries.
