ObjectiveTo explore the anti-eczema efficacy and mechanism of Mongolian medicine Cymbaria dahurica n-butanol extract. MethodsThe compounds of C. dahurica n-butanol extract were obtained by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-electrostatic field orbital trap high resolution mass spectrometry （UPLC-Q-Exactive MS） analysis and literature mining. GEO chip analysis and network pharmacology were employed to predict potential targets and pathways for the anti-eczema effect. Seventy-five mice were randomized into a normal group （10 mice） and a modeling group （65 mice）. The model was induced by 1% dinitrochlorobenzene （DNCB） for 3 days. The modeled mice were grouped as follows： Positive drug （hydrocortisone butyrate cream， 250 mg·kg^-1·d^-1） and low-， medium-， and high-dose （95.94， 191.88， and 383.76 mg·kg^-1·d^-1， respectively） C. dahurica n-butanol extract， with 13 mice in each group. From day 5 of the experiment， 0.5% DNCB was applied， once every other day， until day 22. At the same time， drugs were applied daily from day 5. The appearance damage of back skin of mice in each group was analyzed. The pathological changes of the back skin of mice in each group were observed by hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining and toluidine blue （TB） staining. The levels of inflammatory factors ［histamine （HIS）， interleukin-4 （IL-4）， interleukin-6 （IL-6）， interleukin-8 （IL-8）， and tumor necrosis factor-α （TFN-α）］， thymic stromal lymphopoietin （TSLP）， and immunoglobulin E （IgE） in the serum were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）. Metabolomics analysis was performed for the mouse skin. The HaCaT cell model of eczema was induced with TNF-α/interferon-γ （IFN-γ）. The secretion levels of IL-6， IL-8， thymus and activation-regulated chemokine （TARC/CCL17）， macrophage-derived chemokine （MDC）， and TSLP in the cell supernatant from each group were measured by ELISA， while the protein levels of phosphorylated （p）-Janus kinase 2 （JAK2）， JAK2， p-signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 （STAT3）， and STAT3 were assessed by Western blot. ResultsThrough UPLC-Q-Exactive MS and literature review， a total of 125 compounds of C. dahurica n-butanol extract were obtained. The Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes （KEGG） pathway enrichment analysis showed that the anti-eczema mechanism of C. dahurica n-butanol extract may be related to the Janus kinase/signal transducer and activator of transcription （JAK/STAT） pathway. The results of animal experiments showed that compared with the normal group， the modeling group exhibited redness， swelling， exudation， erosion， and scab formation on the back skin surface， and thickened dermis and epidermis with inflammatory cell infiltration. Compared with the modeling group， the positive drug and C. dahurica n-butanol alleviated the skin lesions （including redness， swelling， exudation， roughness， and keratosis and scab formation on the back）， reduced the thickness of dermis and epidermis， mitigated inflammatory cell infiltration， and restored the skin tissue structure. Compared with the normal group， the modeling group showed elevated levels of HIS， IL-4， IL-6， IL-8， TNF-α， TSLP， and IgE （P<0.05， P<0.01）， which were reversed in the positive drug group and C. dahurica n-butanol extract groups （P<0.05， P<0.01）. The results of metabolomics analysis showed that 12 differential metabolites might be the key substances for mitigating metabolic disorders of the skin and were closely related to the JAK/STAT signaling pathway. The cell experiement showed that compared with the normal group， the model group exhibited upregulated expression levels of IL-6， IL-8， MDC， TARC， TSLP， p-JAK2， p-STAT3， p-JAK2/JAK2， and p-STAT3/STAT3 in HaCaT cells （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， C. dahurica n-butanol extract and dexamethasone downregulated the expression levles of these molecules （P<0.05， P<0.01）. ConclusionC. dahurica n-butanol extract may play an anti-eczema role by inhibiting the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway， reducing the inflammatory response， and correcting the metabolic disorder.

6-Thioguanine(6-TG)is an antineoplastic agent used in treatment of acute leukemia.However,significant interindividual variability in dosing regimens and frequent clinical manifestations of hepatotoxicity and myelosuppression as adverse effects have affected its therapeutic efficacy.Consequently,the development of rapid analytical methods for 6-TG in clinical samples,enabling continuous therapeutic drug monitoring of plasma concentrations,holds substantial significance in optimizing dosage regimens,mitigating adverse reactions,and investigating drug metabolism mechanisms.In this study,multi-tipped gold nanostars(AuNSs)were prepared.With bis-(p-sulfonylphenyl)phenylphosphine molecule as the protecting agent and internal standard molecule,the AuNSs were assembled onto a highly sensitive surface-enhanced Raman(SERS)substrate for developing a ratio-based SERS quantitative analysis method for 6-TG in serum.The AuNSs containing multiple tips and gaps exhibited strong local surface plasmon resonance effect and SERS activity,ensuring the sensitivity of the analytical method.Furthermore,the introduction of internal standard molecules could improve the reproducibility,which guaranteed this method suitable for rapid analysis of drug molecules in complex samples.Quantitative analysis of 6-TG was achieved with linear detetion range of 1.0×10?4-1.0 mmol/L.In the spiked recovery experiments of serum,the RSD was less than 5.32%,and the recoveries were 94%-104%,which proved that this method could be used for rapid quantitative determination of 6-TG in serum.This method provided a powerful tool for studying drug pharmacokinetics,which could promote the optimization of the usage methods of anti-cancer drugs,and it was expected to further enhance the clinical efficacy and safety of 6-TG,enabling it to achieve the best therapeutic effect.

Ovarian tumor (OT) is the most lethal form of gynecologic malignancy, with minimal improvements in patient outcomes over the past several decades. Metastasis is the leading cause of ovarian cancer-related deaths, yet the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. Psychological stress is known to activate the glucocorticoid receptor (NR3C1), a factor associated with poor prognosis in OT patients. However, the precise mechanisms linking NR3C1 signaling and metastasis have yet to be fully elucidated. In this study, we demonstrate that chronic restraint stress accelerates epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and metastasis in OT through an NR3C1-dependent mechanism involving nuclear protein 1 (NUPR1). Mechanistically, NR3C1 directly regulates the transcription of NUPR1, which in turn increases the expression of snail family transcriptional repressor 2 (SNAI2), a key driver of EMT. Clinically, elevated NR3C1 positively correlates with NUPR1 expression in OT patients, and both are positively associated with poorer prognosis. Overall, our study identified the NR3C1/NUPR1 axis as a critical regulatory pathway in psychological stress-induced OT metastasis, suggesting a potential therapeutic target for intervention in OT metastasis.
