"Sinew prescription correspondence" is the principle of selecting prescriptions for channel sinew diseases. On the basis of the theory of syndrome differentiation and treatment， the pulse manifestation corresponds to the channel sinew syndrome， which can improve the flexibility and standardization of clinical prescriptions. From the perspective of systematic dialectical sphygmology， this paper explains the dialectical relationship between channel sinew theory and pulse body elements， pulse wall elements， pulse elements and blood flow elements， and clarifies the internal relationship between pulse manifestation and prescriptions at the level of channel sinew disease. The prescription is derived from the method， while the method is established with the syndrome， and the prescription is unified by the method. According to the theory of "sinew prescription correspondence"， the treatment ideas of channel sinew diseases were analyzed from the perspective of channel sinew distribution， functional characteristics and structural changes. On this basis， the diagnosis of channel sinew disease and the application of prescriptions are expanded， and the research on the internal treatment and diagnosis mode of "pulse manifestation-channel sinew-zang fu （脏腑）" is prospected， so as to expand the differentiation and treatment methods of channel sinew theory.

ObjectiveTo clarify whether METTL14 mediates the core role of acupuncture at Neiguan (PC6) in promoting myelination and improving behavior in young autistic rats through gene intervention technology. MethodsThe ASD model was established by intraperitoneal injection of valproic acid (VPA) in pregnant rats. Male offspring were intracerebroventricularly injected with adenovirus-packaged METTL14 shRNA (sh-METTL14) or its control (sh-NC) on postnatal day 1, with a model group set as well. Subsequently, the juvenile rats were divided into model group, acupuncture group, acupuncture+sh-NC group, and acupuncture+sh-METTL14 group. The acupuncture group received acupuncture at Neiguan (PC6) from postnatal day 7, once daily for 21 consecutive days. Neurobehavioral changes were evaluated by behavioral tests; METTL14 knockdown efficiency and the expression of METTL14, METTL3, and PTEN were detected by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) and Western blot (WB); PTEN m⁶A levels were measured by RNA immunoprecipitation-qPCR (RIP-qPCR); myelin ultrastructure, expression of myelin basic protein (MBP) and neurofascin 155 (NF155), and dendritic spine density were observed using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), immunofluorescence, qRT-PCR, and primary neuron culture. ResultsBehaviorally, knockdown of METTL14 significantly counteracted the beneficial effects of acupuncture in improving self-grooming, open field exploration, three-chamber social interaction, and Morris water maze learning and memory (P<0.05, P<0.01). Compared with the acupuncture+sh-NC group, the acupuncture+sh-METTL14 group showed significantly decreased mRNA and protein expression of hippocampal METTL14 (P<0.01), and the upregulating effects of acupuncture on METTL3 and PTEN expression were reversed (P<0.01). Meanwhile, knockdown of METTL14 significantly inhibited the acupuncture-induced increase in PTEN m⁶A levels (P<0.01). Morphologically, knockdown of METTL14 attenuated the improvement of myelin structure by acupuncture, reversed the downregulation of MBP and upregulation of NF155 induced by acupuncture, and blocked the increase in dendritic spine density (P<0.05, P<0.01). ConclusionMETTL14 is a key molecule mediating the therapeutic effect of acupuncture at Neiguan. Acupuncture at Neiguan upregulates METTL14, thereby enhancing m⁶A methylation modification of PTEN mRNA to stabilize its expression, ultimately promoting myelin development and improving behavioral symptoms in ASD juvenile rats. This preliminarily reveals the modern biological connotation of “opening Xuanfu and dredging myelin”.

The initiation of adaptive immune responses relies on the precise recognition and interpretation of antigenic information. In this process, the specific binding of T cell receptors (TCRs) to peptide-major histocompatibility complex (pMHC) molecules represents one of the key molecular events in the initiation of adaptive immune responses. Accordingly, the structural features of TCR-pMHC complexes provide a fundamental basis for dissecting antigen recognition mechanisms and support rational vaccine design, therapeutic target discovery in TCR-based immunotherapy, and TCR identification and optimization. However, experimental determination of TCR-pMHC structures remains costly, time-consuming, and limited in coverage, making computational approaches essential for rapidly obtaining reliable structural information. Computational methods for predicting the structures of TCR-pMHC complexes have advanced rapidly in recent years, driven by progress in deep learning-based modeling frameworks and the increasing availability of structural and sequence resources. Despite these developments, most existing tools do not adequately distinguish the key structural and biophysical differences between MHC class I (MHC-I) and MHC class II (MHC-II) complexes during model construction. As a consequence, their predictive performance differs substantially between class I and class II complexes. In general, structural predictions for class I complexes outperform those for class II complexes. This discrepancy may be related to several fundamental differences between the two systems, including the architecture of the peptide-binding groove, the distribution of peptide lengths, and the properties of peptide flanking residues (PFRs). Compared with MHC-I molecules, MHC-II molecules usually bind longer antigenic peptides, which typically range from 13 to 25 amino acids in length. PFRs at both termini of these peptides participate in regulating the overall conformation of TCR-pMHC class II complexes and exert a pronounced effect on the geometric and physicochemical characteristics of the TCR-pMHC binding interface. Furthermore, within the TCR recognition interface, the complementarity-determining regions (CDRs) consist of segments that differ markedly in conformational behavior. They commonly include regions that are relatively rigid and structurally stable, together with highly flexible segments exhibiting substantial conformational plasticity. These rigidity-flexibility features constitute an essential structural basis enabling TCRs to recognize diverse peptide-MHC ligands and to accommodate conformational heterogeneity at the interface. However, many current modeling tools, in an effort to enforce global conformational stability or reduce structural noise, tend to over-constrain intrinsically flexible regions. Such oversimplification may lead to inappropriate rigidification of flexible CDR loops, resulting in local structural distortions, compromised interface geometry, or even complete modeling failure for specific complexes. Against this background, the review approaches the field from the perspective of computational differences between MHC-I and MHC-II complexes. We first systematically organize and summarize available resources related to TCRs and pMHCs, including structural datasets, sequence databases, prediction tools, and benchmarking studies. We then focus on five representative tools capable of predicting both class I and class II complexes—AlphaFold2, AlphaFold3, TCRmodel2, tFold-TCR, and TCR-pHLA_ModellerS. After excluding structures present in the training sets of these tools, we constructed a benchmark dataset comprising 25 class I and 10 class II TCR-pMHC complexes in the bound state and conducted a systematic evaluation using this dataset. We first employ widely used general evaluation metrics, including All-Atom Root Mean Square Deviation (All-Atom RMSD), Backbone RMSD, Template Modeling score (TM-score), and DockQ, to assess the global conformational accuracy and interface modeling quality of class I and class II complexes. For class II complexes, we propose for the first time a peptide flanking residue deviation index, including the PFRs-Deviation Index (PFRs-DI), N-PFR-Deviation Index (N-PFR-DI), and C-PFR-Deviation Index (C-PFR-DI), to quantitatively characterize conformational deviations in PFRs. In addition, we propose the CDR conformational consistency index (CCC) designed to qualitatively evaluate the ability of prediction tools to capture TCR CDR conformational flexibility. These metrics collectively assess a tool’s ability to model both overall conformation and critical functional regions, thereby addressing the limitations of existing evaluation criteria that overemphasize global structure while inadequately capturing modeling quality in key functional areas. This establishes a unified analytical framework for MHC-I and MHC-II complexes to guide data resource selection, modeling strategy formulation, and evaluation system development. The framework further advances computational modeling and provides crucial support for multi-scale analysis of TCR-pMHC recognition mechanisms and their biological functions.

ObjectiveTo investigate the mechanism by which Shaoyaotang regulates the miRNA-155-mediated suppressor of cytokine signaling 1 （SOCS1）/Janus kinase 1 （JAK1）/signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 （STAT1） signaling pathway and thereby affects macrophage polarization. MethodsThe cell-counting kit-8 （CCK-8） assay was used to detect the effect of drug-containing serum of Shaoyaotang at different concentrations on the viability of RAW 264.7 cells. A cell model of inflammation was established by stimulating RAW264.7 cells with lipopolysaccharide （LPS） at a concentration of 10 mg·L^-1 The modeled cells were assigned by the random number table method into seven groups： LPS-induced M1 polarization （model）， M1+miRNA-155 mimics， M1+miRNA-155 inhibitor， M1+Shaoyaotang-containing serum， M1+miRNA-155 mimics+Shaoyaotang-containing serum， M1+miRNA-155 inhibitor+Shaoyaotang-containing serum， and M1+blank serum. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was employed to measure the levels of inflammatory factors ［tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α）， interleukin-6 （IL-6）， and interleukin-1β （IL-1β）］. Immunofluorescence assay was used to detect the expression of macrophage polarization markers ［inducible nitric oxide synthase （iNOS） and macrophage mannose receptor 1 （CD206）］. Real-time PCR was employed to measure the expression of miRNA-155 in cells. Western blot was performed to determine the protein levels of SOCS1， STAT1， and JAK1. ResultsCompared with the LPS-induced M1 polarization （model） group， the M1+miRNA-155 mimics group showed up-regulated expression of miRNA-155， JAK1， STAT1， TNF-α， IL-6， IL-1β， and iNOS （P<0.05） and down-regulated expression of CD206 （P<0.05）. In both the M1+miRNA-155 inhibitor group and the M1+Shaoyaotang-containing serum group， the expression levels of miRNA-155， JAK1， STAT1， TNF-α， IL-6， IL-1β， and iNOS were down-regulated （P<0.05）， while those of SOCS1 and CD206 were up-regulated （P<0.05）. Compared with the M1+miRNA-155 mimics group， the M1+miRNA-155 mimics+Shaoyaotang-containing serum group showed down-regulated expression of miRNA-155， JAK1， STAT1， TNF-α， IL-6， IL-1β， and iNOS （P<0.05） and up-regulated expression of SOCS1 and CD206 （P<0.05）. Compared with the M1+miRNA-155 inhibitor group， the M1+miRNA-155 inhibitor+Shaoyaotang-containing serum group showed down-regulated expression of miRNA-155， JAK1， STAT1， TNF-α， IL-6， IL-1β， and iNOS （P<0.05） and up-regulated expression of SOCS1 and CD206 （P<0.05）. ConclusionShaoyaotang regulates macrophage polarization by modulating miRNA-155 expression and interfering with the SOCS1/JAK1/STAT1 signaling pathway. The findings provide new experimental evidence for the treatment of ulcerative colitis with Shaoyaotang.

ObjectiveTo investigate the potential role and underlying mechanisms of Shaoyaotang in intervening macrophage glycolytic reprogramming in ulcerative colitis （UC）. MethodsForty-eight C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into six groups： Normal control group， model group， mesalazine group （0.39 g·kg^-1）， Shaoyaotang group （15.54 g·kg^-1）， 2-deoxy-D-glucose （2-DG） group （glycolysis inhibitor， 100 mg·kg^-1）， and 2-DG + Shaoyaotang combined group （100 mg·kg^-1+15.54 g·kg^-1）. Except for the normal control group， mice in the other five groups were induced to establish UC models using dextran sulfate sodium （DSS）. The normal control group was administered pure water via intragastric gavage， while the other groups received intragastric gavage of mesalazine solution， intragastric gavage of Shaoyaotang， and the 2-DG group was treated with 2-DG via intraperitoneal injection. After 7 consecutive days of treatment， colonic tissues were extracted. Hematoxylin and eosin （HE） staining was performed to evaluate histopathological changes and tissue injury in the colon. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA） was used to detect the expression of interleukin-10 （IL-10） and tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α） in colonic tissues. Western blot analysis was employed to determine the expression levels of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α （HIF-1α）， glucose transporter （GLUT1）， lactate dehydrogenase A （LDHA）， pyruvate kinase M2 （PKM2）， and 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2，6-biphosphatase 3 （PFKFB3） in colonic tissues. Immunofluorescence was conducted to detect the expression of CD206 and inducible nitric oxide synthase （iNOS） in colonic tissues. Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry （LC-MS） was utilized to measure lactate and citrate levels in colonic tissues. ResultsCompared with the normal control group， mice in the model group exhibited a significant increase in disease activity index （DAI） scores， accompanied by colonic mucosal congestion， edema， and inflammatory cell infiltration， significantly elevated expression of the inflammatory cytokine TNF-α （P<0.05）， significantly decreased IL-10 expression （P<0.05）， significantly increased levels of HIF-1α， GLUT1， LDHA， PKM2， and PFKFB3 in colonic tissues （P<0.05）， markedly elevated iNOS expression （P<0.05）， significantly decreased CD206 expression （P<0.05）， and significantly elevated lactate and citrate levels in colonic tissues （P<0.05）. In contrast to the model group， the Shaoyaotang group， inhibitor group， and Shaoyaotang combined with inhibitor group demonstrated amelioration of mucosal injury in colonic tissues， markely decreased expression levels of the inflammatory cytokine TNF-α （P<0.05）， elevated IL-10 expression levels， significantly decreased expression of HIF-1α， GLUT1， LDHA， PKM2， and PFKFB3 （P<0.05）， markedly reduced iNOS expression levels （P<0.05）， significantly increased CD206 expression （P<0.05） and significantly decreased lactate and citrate levels （P<0.05）. ConclusionShaoyaotang ameliorates symptoms of DSS-induced UC in mice， and its therapeutic mechanism may be associated with regulating macrophage glycolytic reprogramming via modulation of the HIF-1α signaling pathway.

ObjectiveTo investigate the role of microRNA-155-5p （miR-155-5p） in ulcerative colitis （UC） and study the molecular mechanism of Shaoyaotang in the treatment of UC by regulating miR-155-5p. MethodsForty-eight SPF-grade male C57BL/6 mice were selected and assigned via the random number table method into 6 groups （n=8）： A blank control group， a model group， a mesalazine （0.39 g·kg^-1） group， a Shaoyaotang （31.08 g·kg^-1） group， a Janus kinase 1 （JAK1） inhibitor （baricitinib， 10 mg·kg^-1） group， and a Shaoyaotang combined with inhibitor （baricitinib 10 mg·kg^-1 + Shaoyaotang 31.08 g·kg^-1） group. After successful modeling of UC by gavage of 3% dextran sulphate sodium solution， each group received corresponding drug intervention for 7 days. Shaoyaotang and mesalazine were administered by gavage， and baricitinib by intraperitoneal injection. Twenty-four hours after the last administration， mice were anesthetized by intraperitoneal injection of pentobarbital sodium， and blood was collected for determination of white blood cell count and erythrocyte sedimentation rate （ESR）. Mice were then sacrificed for measurement of colon length. Hematoxylin-eosin staining was used to observe colonic pathological changes and perform pathological scoring. Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR） was employed to determine the relative expression of miR-155-5p in the colonic tissue， and Western blot was used to determine the protein levels of JAK1， phosphorylated JAK1 （p-JAK1）， suppressor of cytokine signaling 1 （SOCS1）， signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 （STAT1）， and phosphorylated STAT1 （p-STAT1）. ResultsCompared with the blank control group， the model group showed increased disease activity index （DAI） score and pathological score， shortened colon， upregulated relative expression of miR-155-5p and protein levels of p-JAK1 and p-STAT1， downregulated protein level of SOCS1 in the colonic tissue， prolonged time of erythrocyte sedimentation， and increased white blood cell count （P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， all drug-treated groups exhibited improvements in the above indicators （P<0.01）. Moreover， the Shaoyaotang group showed better therapeutic effects than the mesalazine group in regulating miR-155-5p expression， related protein levels， DAI score， and colonic pathological score （P<0.01）. ConclusionShaoyaotang may downregulate miR-155-5p to relieve its inhibition on SOCS1， thereby suppressing the excessive activation of the JAK1/STAT1 signaling pathway and ultimately alleviating intestinal inflammatory damage.
