1.Rehmanniae Radix Preparata in Common Central Nervous System Diseases: A Review
Chinese Journal of Experimental Traditional Medical Formulae 2026;32(6):286-296
Central nervous system diseases refer to complex disorders that affect the structure and function of the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord). Due to their complex pathogenesis and the lack of effective therapies, the diseases have become one of the leading causes of human death and have imposed a heavy economic burden on families and society. Rehmanniae Radix Preparata, a representative traditional Chinese medicine for "nourishing essence and enriching marrow", has multi-target and multi-pathway advantages in the treatment of central nervous system diseases. It contains various active components such as catapol, verbascoside, and echinacoside and has multiple pharmacological effects including anti-depression, neuroprotection, antioxidation, anti-inflammation, and immunomodulation. In Alzheimer's disease, Rehmanniae Radix Preparata can regulate the processing of beta-amyloid precursor protein to reduce its production, and its antioxidative and neuroprotective effects can alleviate related pathological damage. In Parkinson's disease, it can protect dopaminergic neurons by regulating intracellular signal transduction pathways. In ischemic stroke, its antioxidative, anti-inflammatory, and neuroprotective effects can alleviate pathological reactions. Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune demyelinating disease, and its pathogenesis is related to the autoimmune response attacking the myelin sheath of the central nervous system. The anti-inflammatory effect of Rehmanniae Radix Preparata can help inhibit this autoimmune response, reduce the damage of inflammation to the myelin sheath, and protect damaged neurons while promoting myelin sheath repair. In depression, Rehmanniae Radix Preparata can improve neural plasticity, and its anti-inflammatory effect can regulate neuroendocrine function and influence the metabolism of neurotransmitters. This paper explored the action mechanism of Rehmanniae Radix Preparata in central nervous system diseases and summarized the relevant basic research and research progress on its active components and traditional Chinese medicine formulas for treating central nervous system diseases, providing a theoretical basis for the development of traditional Chinese medicine products for the prevention and treatment of central nervous system diseases with Radix Rehmanniae Preparata.

Breast cancer is a kind of malignant tumor with a complex mechanism, and its morbidity and mortality are increasing year by year, which seriously threatens women's health. At present, the main clinical treatments are surgical resection, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and drug therapy, but they are often accompanied by side effects and adverse reactions, which affect the therapeutic effect. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has the advantages of multi-component and multi-target treatment in the fight against breast cancer. The wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway is one of the classic pathways in cancer research. Abnormally activated Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway inhibits β-catenin degradation by blocking the formation of Axin/glycogen synthase kinase 3β/adenomatous polyposis coli complex, thus promoting β-catenin nuclear metastasis, and it binds to T cell transcription factor/lymphoenhancer factor-1 to initiate downstream target genes and further interfere with the proliferation, migration, and invasion of tumor cells to affect the tumor process. Previous studies have shown that TCM monomers and compounds can mediate the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway to inhibit the malignant phenotype of breast cancer cells, thus playing an anti-breast cancer role, and the biochemical process involved in the regulation of therapeutic drugs has not been systematically combed. By analyzing and collating Chinese and foreign literature at the present stage, this paper discussed the association mechanism between Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway and breast cancer and analyzed the internal mechanism of TCM monomers and compounds in mediating Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway to exert anti-breast cancer effect. The statistical results showed that the flavonoids, alkaloids, and terpenoids in TCM monomers could target the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway and block the further development of malignant phenotype of breast cancer cells. TCM compounds with functions of clearing heat and detoxifying, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, and tonifying kidney and liver were commonly used to intervene in the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway to prevent breast cancer. Compared with the current inhibitors of Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, the application of TCM monomers and compounds is expected to bring low-toxicity and high-efficiency breast cancer treatment drugs to the clinical practice, and the existing results provide a reference for the subsequent screening, research, and development of TCM small-molecule compounds and TCM compounds against breast cancer.

OBJECTIVE:
To assess the value of chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) for the detection of low-level mosaicisms in amniotic fluid samples, and to retrospectively analyze the rare cases of mosaicisms.
METHODS:
Chromosomal karyotype of the fetus was determined by G-banding analysis of cultured amniotic fluid cells. CMA was used to detect copy number variation of fetal chromosomes, and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) was used to determine the proportion of fetal chromosomal mosaicisms in uncultured amniotic fluid cells.
RESULTS:
Among 825 prenatal samples, 4 cases of true fetal mosaicisms were detected, which yielded an incidence of 0.48%. Two cases were sex chromosomal mosaicisms, and two were autosomal mosaicisms, which involved chromosomes 8 and 9, respectively. All cases were verified by G-banding analysis of cultured amniotic fluid cells, CMA, and/or FISH.
CONCLUSION
CMA has a great value for detecting low-level mosaicisms in amniotic fluid samples, though the positive results need to be verified by other techniques and should be interpreted with caution. The review of rare cases can provide a basis for prenatal genetic counseling.
