ObjectiveTo construct a risk prediction model for chronic atrophic gastritis （CAG） that combines disease and syndrome by integrating spleen deficiency and blood stasis syndrome scores， gastric stem cell marker analysis， and network pharmacology and to elucidate the mechanism link between spleen deficiency， blood stasis， and gastric stem cell dysregulation. MethodsA total of 60 patients were stratified into high-risk CAG， low-risk CAG， and non-atrophic groups based on the operative link for gastritis assessment （OLGA）/operative link for gastric intestinal metaplasia assessment （OLGIM） stages. General data and syndrome scores of the patients were collected. Immunohistochemistry was employed to measure the protein levels of leucine-rich repeat-containing G protein-coupled receptor 5 （LGR5）， trefoil factor 2 （TFF2）， and β-catenin in gastric mucosa across groups. Transcriptomic data （GSE130823） from the Gene Expression Omnibus （GEO） database were analyzed to validate the expression of these molecular markers at the gene level. A Firth penalized maximum likelihood logistic regression model was employed to integrate clinical， molecular， and TCM syndrome data to develop a CAG risk prediction model. Finally， network pharmacology analysis was conducted on spleen-invigorating herbs （Astragali Radix， Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma， and Dioscorea Rhizoma） and blood-activating herbs （Hedyotis diffusa， Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma， and Curcumae Rhizoma） to identify overlapping targets between these herbs and differentially expressed genes between low-grade intraepithelial neoplasia （LGIN） and gastritis， thereby clarifying the role of spleen deficiency and blood stasis in CAG progression from a pharmacological perspective. ResultsHigh-risk CAG patients exhibited higher blood stasis scores （4.60±1.50，2.62±1.32， P<0.01）， progressive nuclear accumulation of β-catenin （A 0.28-0.53， P<0.01）， and an increased LGR5⁺/TFF2⁺ ratio （A 1.02-1.92， P<0.01）. Blood stasis scores were correlated with LGR5/TFF2 imbalance （P=0.03） and activation of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway （CTNNB1 increase， log₂=0.78）. The integrated prediction model （blood stasis score≥5 + β-catenin>0.38 + LGR5/TFF2>1.5） outperformed a pure biomarker approach ［Area Under the Curve （AUC） 0.92，0.89， ΔAUC=0.03， P=0.02］. Moreover， network pharmacology revealed 66 overlapping targets between spleen-invigorating/blood-activating herbs and LGIN， which were functionally enriched in mucosal repair and anti-oxidative stress， and negatively correlated with the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway （P<0.01）. ConclusionThis study developed an integrated risk prediction model for CAG by combining TCM spleen deficiency and blood stasis syndromes with gastric stem cell molecular markers. Furthermore， it proposed for the first time the "blood stasis-Wnt/β-catenin-stem cell axis" hypothesis， preliminarily elucidating that spleen deficiency and blood stasis may exacerbate gastric stem cell dysregulation and promote malignant transformation of CAG through hypoxia-induced Wnt activation. This provides a theoretical foundation and a translational tool for risk stratification and multi-target TCM intervention in CAG.

Osteoporosis is a common bone disease， whose incidence is still on the rise， posing great challenges to patients and society. This review mainly studies the pathogenesis of osteoporosis from the aspects of oxidative stress， inflammatory response， and glucolipotoxicity-induced injury and clarifies the efficacy and mechanism of some active ingredients of traditional Chinese medicine against osteoporosis through the integration of in vitro and in vivo experiments. The experimental results suggest that some active ingredients can improve bone resorption markers and maintain bone homeostasis by modulating inflammation， oxidative stress， etc. These active ingredients regulate osteoporosis through the receptor activator of nuclear transcription factor-κB （NF-κB） ligand （RANKL） pathway， osteoprotegerin （OPG） pathway， Wnt/β-catenin pathway， NF-κB pathway， mitogen-activated protein kinase （MAPK） pathway， adenosine monophosphate （AMP）-activated protein kinase （AMPK）/mammalian target of rapamycin （mTOR） pathway， and oxidative stress pathway. This review provides ideas for the progress of the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis with the active ingredients of traditional Chinese medicine， aiming to provide new potential lead compounds and reference for the development of innovative drugs and clinical therapy for the treatment of osteoporosis.

Objective:To investigate the effects of Acanthopanax Senticosus polysaccharides (ASPS) on TLR4 signaling pathway in Lewis tumor-bearing mice,and to explore the immunomodulatory mechanism of ASPS.Methods:Lewis lung carcinoma cells and C57BL/6 mice were used to establish the animal model for solid tumor.The tumor-bearing mice were divided into five groups:normal saline (NS) group,Adriamycin (ADM) group,ASPS low-dose group,ASPS middle-dose group and ASPS high-dose group.Mter 25 d treatment,the weight of tumor,tumor inhibition rate and immune organ index were measured.ELISA were applied to detected the cytokines in peripheral blood of tumor-bearing mice.Quantitative real-time PCR (Q-PCR) and Western blot were selectively used to detect the gene and protein expression of TLR4 signaling pathway in splenocytes.Results:The tumor inhibition rate,immune organ index and the secretion of TNF-α,IL-1β and IL-6 were increased by ASPS,compared with NS group (P＜0.05).The gene and protein expression of TLR4,MyD88,TRAF6,NF-κB p65 and AP-1 were also induced by ASPS (P＜0.05).Meanwhile,ASPS had no obvious effects on the secretion of IL-12p70 and the expression of TRAM (P＞0.05).Conclusion:TLR4 signaling pathway may be involved in the immunomodulatory effects of ASPS on Lewis tumor-bearing mice.

Objective:To detect the effects of polysaccharopeptide(PSP) on MyD88-dependent signaling pathway in EAC tumor-bearing mice,and explore the immunomodulatory mechanism of PSP.Methods: Ehrlich′s ascites carcinoma(EAC) C57BL/6 mice were used to establish the animal model for solid tumor.Mice were divided into two groups:WT group and MyD88-/-group.After 22 days of treatment,quantitative real-time PCR( Q-PCR) ,Western blot and were used to detect the related gene and protein expression of TLR4 pathway in spleens,ELISA were used to detect the terminal effect factors secretion eyeball blood from each group.Results:Related genes and proteins of TLR4 pathway in spleen were up-regulated significantly from two groups.Compared with WT group, related genes and proteins in MyD88-dependent pathway(MyD88,TRAF6,NF-κB,AP-1)was down-regulated in MyD88-/-group(P<0.05).Meanwhile,There was no significant change of the related genes and proteins of MyD88-independent pathway(TRAM,TRIF)in MyD88-/-group( P>0.05 ) .The terminal effect factors secretion of IL-2, IL-6, IL-10, TNF-αand IFN-γin MyD88-/-group were decreased significantly compared with WT group(P<0.05).Conclusion:The immunoregulatory effect of PSP on EAC tumor-bearing mice may be implement through the regulation of MyD88-dependent signaling pathway.
