Sarcopenia is a systemic skeletal muscle disease characterized by the gradual decline of muscle mass，strength，and function，and its occurrence and development are related to multiple factors，involving several signaling pathways. Among them，the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B（PI3K/Akt） signaling pathway，as a key pathway regulating cellular growth，survival，and metabolism，plays an important role in the formation and development of sarcopenia. Its abnormal activation or deactivation may lead to an imbalance in muscle protein metabolism，resulting in muscle atrophy and reduction. Modern medicine is still in the exploratory stage of treatment for sarcopenia. Traditional Chinese medicine （TCM），with its multi-pathway and multi-target characteristics，has shown increasing advantages in the prevention and treatment of sarcopenia. In recent years，various monomers， extracts，and compound formulas of TCM have been proven to effectively prevent and treat sarcopenia by promoting muscle cell protein synthesis，reducing protein degradation，inhibiting cell apoptosis and inflammatory response，and improving mitochondrial function. This paper reviewed the improvement effects of TCM on sarcopenia based on the PI3K/Akt pathway and explored its specific action mechanisms， aiming to provide new insights for the treatment of sarcopenia with TCM.

Objective To establish an ultra-high performance liquid chromatography with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry(UPLC-QTOF-MS)method for identifying the active ingredients of Zhizi Houpu decoction,and to predict its material basis and mechanism of anti-insomnia effects using network pharmacology.Methods The chemical components of Zhizi Houpu decoction were identified according to UHPLC-QTOF-MS ion fragmentation rule combined with compound library and literature review.Components with oral bioavailability(OB)≥30％and drug-like properties(DL)≥0.18 were selected to construct the Zhizi Houpu decoction-active ingredients-target network.The STRING database and the Database for Annotation,Visualization,and Integrated Discovery(DAVID)were used to screen key target proteins.Subsequently,enrichment analysis was performed for biological processes,molecular functions,cellular components,and signaling pathways.Results A total of 107 chemical components were identified,including 35 compounds related to insomnia and 11 anti-insomnia targets such as AKT serine/threonine kinase 1,tumor protein 53,and prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2.Gene Ontology functional enrichment analysis indicated that Zhizi Houpo decoction may exert its effects through cellular components such as the presynaptic membrane,dendrite,and plasma membrane,by participating in biological processes like chemical synaptic transmission,G protein signaling pathway,and neuron apoptosis,and by regulating molecular functions such as G protein-coupled serotonin receptor activity.Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway enrichment analysis revealed that its anti-insomnia effects were mainly concentrated in pathways such as neuroactive ligand-receptor interaction,calcium signaling pathway,serotonergic synapse,and cyclic adenosine monophosphate signaling pathway.Conclusion The anti-insomnia effect of Zhizi Houpo decoction is the result of a synergistic action involving multiple components,multiple targets,and multiple pathways.Its material basis and mechanism of action are primarily related to regulating biological processes such as neurotransmitter metabolism,synaptic function,neuronal apoptosis,and inflammatory response.

Foodborne illnesses caused by Salmonella pose significant threats to worldwide public health safety.In this study,a rapid method for screening viable Salmonella in oyster sauce and milk was developed by utilizing an electronic microbial growth analyzer(EMGA).Target food samples were diluted 10-fold with RVS broth and loaded into test tubes.Test tubes were positioned in the EMGA to determine the bacterial growth curves and the time required to reach the maximum growth rate(Tmgr).Using Salmonella typhimurium(S.typhimurium)asan model species,there was linear relationship between the logarithmic value of viable bacterial concentration(lgC)and Tmgr over the range of 5×101-5×106 CFU/mL,with a detection limit of 10 CFU/mL.For oyster sauce,the regression equation was Tmgr(min)=-80.775lg[C/(CFU/mL)]+754.96(R2=0.9907),and the recovery rates of S.typhimurium ranged from 95.2%to 119.8%,with relative standard deviations(RSD)ranging from 3.5%to 16.3%.For milk,the regression equation was Tmgr(min)=-71.922 lg[C/(CFU/mL)]+618.65(R2=0.9985),with recovery rates ranging from 98.4%to 110.6%and RSD ranging from 6.4%to 12.8%.The EMGA method required only one portable instrument,and involving only three manual steps,i.e.,dilution,transfer,and insertion.When S.typhimurium contamination reached 106 CFU/mL,the total time consumption,from the unwrapping of samples to the readout of bacterial concentration,was no more than 7 h.When applied to detection of actual oyster sauce and milk samples,the new method demonstrated strong consistency with plate counting results in positive detection rates.This method was superior to the plate counting method,which was generally considered as a gold standard,in terms of accuracy,precision,simplicity and efficiency,representing a promising alternative for the on-site screening and quantification of viable Salmonella in oyster sauce and milk products.

Objective To explore the factors predicting the reliability of platelet-impedance(PLT-I)re-sults through a retrospective analysis of non-aggregated samples with abnormal platelet histograms.Methods A total of 322 samples with abnormal platelet histograms were collected from the Sysmex XN9000 automatic hematology analyzer,all of which showed no platelet aggregation as determined by the DI-60 auto-matic digital image analysis system.Using the platelet count fluorescent(PLT-F)results as a standard,the absolute and relative deviations of PLT-I results were calculated,and the parameters of samples with devia-tions within and outside the allowable range were analyzed.Logistic regression analysis was used to identify potential factors associated with deviations of PLT-I from PLT-F beyond the allowable range.The receiver op-erating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to evaluate the predictive value of these potential factors for devi-ations beyond the allowable range.Results The deviations of PLT-I from PLT-F were within the allowable range in 279 cases(86.65％)and outside the allowable range in 43 cases(13.35％).Comparisons between the two groups revealed statistically significant differences in mean red blood cell valume(MCV),red blood cell distribution width-cuefficient of variation(RDW-SD),DI-60 red cell fragments,platelet distribution width(PDW),and DI-60 large platelet ratio(P＜0.05).Logistic regression indicated that DI-60 red cell fragments and DI-60 large platelet ratio were independent potential factors for deviations of PLT-I from PLT-F beyond the allowable range(P＜0.05).The cut off values for predicting deviations beyond the allowable range were 1.75 for DI-60 red cell fragments and 66％for DI-60 large platelet ratio.The area under the curve(AUC)for the combined diagnosis of the two factors was 0.813,with a sensitivity of 88.4％and a specificity of 66.3％,indicating a higher predictive value than individual factors(P＜0.05).Conclusion When platelet histograms are abnormal,DI-60 large platelet ratio and DI-60 red cell fragments are independent potential factors predic-ting the reliability of PLT-I results,and their combination has a high predictive value.

Sarcopenia is a clinical syndrome characterized by a decrease in skeletal muscle strength and quality， often accompanied by adverse outcomes such as falls， loss of function and weakness. The pathogenesis of sarcopenia is complex， and studies have shown that dysfunction due to impaired mitochondrial quality control is an important pathological factor in the occurrence and development. Traditional Chinese medicine（TCM） has been widely favoured for regulating mitochondrial homeostasis and preventing sarcopenia by virtue of its multi-target and multi-pathway advantages. They can play a role in the prevention and treatment of sarcopenia by regulating the mitochondrial quality control system to inhibit the occurrence of mitochondrial oxidative stress， regulate the balance of mitochondrial dynamics， inhibit mitochondrial autophagy， promote mitochondrial biosynthesis， resist the occurrence of mitochondrial apoptosis， and maintain the mitochondrial calcium and protein homeostasis. Based on this， the paper reviewed the relationship between mitochondrial quality control and sarcopenia， as well as the mechanism of TCM in intervening the mitochondrial quality control system to treat sarcopenia， in order to provide a new idea for the prevention and treatment of sarcopenia by TCM and to a theoretical basis for the clinical research on TCM intervention in sarcopenia.

ObjectiveTo investigate the influence of histone deacetylase 3 (HDAC3) on the occurrence, development of psoriasis-like inflammation in mice, and the relative immune mechanisms. MethodsHealthy C57BL/6 mice aged 6-8 weeks were selected and randomly divided into 3 groups: control group (Control), psoriasis model group (IMQ), and HDAC3 inhibitor RGFP966-treated psoriasis model group (IMQ+RGFP966). One day prior to the experiment, the back hair of the mice was shaved. After a one-day stabilization period, the mice in Control group was treated with an equal amount of vaseline, while the mice in IMQ group was treated with imiquimod (62.5 mg/d) applied topically on the back to establish a psoriasis-like inflammation model. The mice in IMQ+RGFP966 group received intervention with a high dose of the HDAC3-selective inhibitor RGFP966 (30 mg/kg) based on the psoriasis-like model. All groups were treated continuously for 5 d, during which psoriasis-like inflammation symptoms (scaling, erythema, skin thickness), body weight, and mental status were observed and recorded, with photographs taken for documentation. After euthanasia, hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining was used to assess the effect of RGFP966 on the skin tissue structure of the mice, and skin thickness was measured. The mRNA and protein expression levels of HDAC3 in skin tissues were detected using reverse transcription real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) and Western blot (WB), respectively. Flow cytometry was employed to analyze neutrophils in peripheral blood and lymph nodes, CD4⁺ T lymphocytes, CD8⁺ T lymphocytes in peripheral blood, and IL-17A secretion by peripheral blood CD4⁺ T lymphocytes. Additionally, spleen CD4⁺ T lymphocyte expression of HDAC3, CCR6, CCR8, and IL-17A secretion levels were analyzed. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the localization and expression levels of HDAC3, IL-17A, and IL-10 in skin tissues. ResultsCompared with the Control group, the IMQ group exhibited significant psoriasis-like inflammation, characterized by erythema, scaling, and skin wrinkling. Compared with the IMQ group, RGFP966 exacerbated psoriasis-like inflammatory symptoms, leading to increased hyperkeratosis. The psoriasis area and severity index (PASI) skin symptom scores were higher in the IMQ group than those in the Control group, and the scores were further elevated in the IMQ+RGFP966 group compared to the IMQ group. Skin thickness measurements showed a trend of IMQ+RGFP966>IMQ>Control. The numbers of neutrophils in the blood and lymph nodes increased sequentially in the Control, IMQ, and IMQ+RGFP966 groups, with a similar trend observed for CD4⁺ and CD8⁺ T lymphocytes in the blood. In skin tissues, compared with the Control group, the mRNA and protein levels of HDAC3 decreased in the IMQ group, but RGFP966 did not further reduce these expressions. HDAC3 was primarily located in the nucleus. Compared with the Control group, the nuclear HDAC3 content decreased in the skin tissues of the IMQ group, and RGFP966 further reduced nuclear HDAC3. Compared with the Control and IMQ groups, RGFP966 treatment decreased HDAC3 expression in splenic CD4⁺ and CD8⁺ T cells. RGFP966 treatment increased the expression of CCR6 and CCR8 in splenic CD4⁺ T cells and enhanced IL-17A secretion by peripheral blood and splenic CD4⁺ T lymphocytes. Additionally, compared with the IMQ group, RGFP966 reduced IL-10 protein levels and upregulated IL-17A expression in skin tissues. ConclusionRGFP966 exacerbates psoriatic-like inflammatory responses by inhibiting HDAC3, increasing the secretion of the cytokine IL-17A, and upregulating the expression of chemokines CCR8 and CCR6.
