Nanoparticle delivery systems have good application prospects in the field of precision therapy, but the preparation process of nanomaterial has problems such as short in vivo circulation time, easy recognition, and clearance by the immune system in the body. In recent years, biomimetic nanoparticle delivery systems mediated by natural cell membranes have become a research hotspot to address these issues. The natural membrane biomimetic nanoparticle delivery system cleverly integrates the advantages of natural biofilm "autologous" and "artificial" functional carriers by using endogenous cell membranes to modify the surface of nanocarriers, endowing them with characteristics such as tumor targeting, low immunogenicity, and long blood circulation. Currently, biomimetic nanoparticle delivery systems have been used in the treatment of malignant tumors, cardiovascular diseases, bacterial infections, and other diseases. This paper analyzes the development status and current research hotspots of natural cell membrane camouflaged biomimetic nanoparticle delivery systems mainly reviews the latest research progress of red blood cell membrane camouflaged biomimetic nanoparticle delivery systems in the field of disease treatment in recent years. It focuses on exploring the advantages, future development prospects, and limitations of biomimetic nanoparticle delivery systems based on red blood cell membrane camouflage in improving drug delivery, to provide a reference for the in-depth research and development of this system.

To summarize the clinical experience of Professor LIU Shangyi in treating pruritus vulvae. It is believed that women have the physiological characteristics of liver and kidney as the root， and their pubic area is easily attacked by wind-dampness pathogenic qi， so the core mechanism of pruritus vulvae is proposed as wind-dampness accumulation and deficiency of liver and kidney. The core treatment method is to dispel wind-dampness and nourish the liver and kidneys， and modify the Danggui Decoction （当归饮子） to form a self-prescribed Yinyang Formula （阴痒方） as the basic prescription to treat pruritus vulvaen.

Depression is a widespread psychiatric disorder with complex pathogenesis and unsatisfactory therapeutic effects. As a native flavonoid, Isorhamnetin (ISO) has been deemed to exert neuroprotective effects by antioxidation and regulation of immunity. However, no reports of anti-depressed effect of ISO have yet been found. The present study was conducted to clarify the mechanism basis of anti-depressed effect of ISO utilizing behavioral, biochemical, molecular approaches in vitro and in vivo and bio-informatics analysis. The effects of ISO on depressed mice was investigated through the SPT and FST, and the lesions were examined by H&E staining. Besides, the inflammatory factor and indicator in kynurenine pathway were assessed through detection kits, and the microbiota were checked by 16sRNA. Molecular docking study was performed to investigate the target of ISO. Additionally, Western blot was used to test the activation of PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. The results indicated that ISO could enhance the sugar water preference of mice in SPT and reduce immobility time in FST. Further more, ISO suppressed peripheral and central inflammation, regulated the changes in kynurenine pathway and gut microbiota, inhibited activation of PI3K/AKT pathway, and presented good binding patterns with target proteins on PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. Collectively, these findings demonstrate that ISO alleviated depression-like behaviour by normalizing inflammation-induced dysregulation of the crosstalk between KP and gut microbiota disorder through regulated PI3K/AKT/NF-κB pathway.

Platycodonis Radix is the dry root of Platycodon grandiflorum of Campanulaceae, which has a variety of pharmacological effects and is a commonly used bulk Chinese medicine. In this study, the chloroplast genome sequences of six P. grandiflorum from different producing areas has been sequenced with Illumina HiSeq X Ten platform. The specific DNA barcodes were screened, and the germplasm resources and genetic diversity were analyzed according to the specific barcodes. The total length of the chloroplast genome of 6 P. grandiflorum samples was 172 260-172 275 bp, and all chloroplast genomes showed a typical circular tetrad structure and encoded 141 genes. The comparative genomics analysis and results of amplification efficiency demonstrated that trnG-UCC and ndhG_ndhF were the potential specific DNA barcodes for identification the germplasm resources of P. grandiflorum. A total of 305 P. grandiflorum samples were collected from 15 production areas in 9 provinces, for which the fragments of trnG-UCC and ndhG_ndhF were amplificated and the sequences were analyzed. The results showed that trnG-UCC and ndhG_ndhF have 5 and 11 mutation sites, respectively, and 5 and 7 haplotypes were identified, respectively. The combined analysis of the two sequences formed 13 haplotypes (named Hap1-Hap13), and Hap4 is the main genotype, followed by Hap1. The unique haplotypes possessed by the three producing areas can be used as DNA molecular tags in this area to distinguish from the germplasm resources of P. grandiflorum from other areas. The haplotype diversity, nucleotide diversity and genetic distance were 0.94, 4.79×10^-3 and 0.000 0-0.020 3, respectively, suggesting that the genetic diversity was abundant and intraspecific kinship was relatively close. This study laid a foundation for the identification of P. grandiflorum, the protection and utilization of germplasm resources, and molecular breeding.

ObjectiveTo investigate the efficacy of drug-eluting beads-transarterial chemoembolization （D-TACE） combined with infusion chemotherapy via superior mesenteric artery versus D-TACE alone in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma （HCC） complicated by portal vein tumor thrombus （PVTT）. MethodsA retrospective analysis was performed for the data of patients with HCC and PVTT who underwent interventional treatment in The Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University from January 2022 to December 2023， among whom 15 patients received D-TACE combined with infusion chemotherapy via superior mesenteric artery and were enrolled as observation group， and after propensity score matching at a ratio of 1∶1， 15 patients who received D-TACE alone were enrolled as control group. Contrast-enhanced MRI of the upper abdomen was performed at 1， 2， and 3 months after surgery and every 3 months thereafter to evaluate the conditions of liver tumor and PVTT. Objective response rate （ORR） and disease control rate （DCR） were compared between the two groups. The independent-samples t test or the Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of continuous data between two groups， and the paired t-test or the Wilcoxon test was used for comparison of preoperative and postoperative data； the chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between two groups. The Kaplan-Meier curve was used to calculate the cumulative survival rate， and the Log-rank test was used for comparison between two groups. ResultsBoth groups had a technical success rate of 100%， with no serious complications after surgery. The patients were followed up for 3-26 months （mean 10.5±6.7 months）. At 3 months after surgery， there were no significant differences between the observation group and the control group in ORR （73.3% vs 53.3%， χ²=1.292， P=0.256） and DCR （93.3% vs 80.0%， χ²=1.154， P=0.283） for liver tumors， and compared with the control group， the observation group had significantly higher ORR and DCR for PVTT （ORR： 46.7% vs 13.3%， χ²=3.968， P=0.046； DCR： 100% vs 73.3%， χ²=4.615， P=0.032）. The 3-， 6-， and 12-month cumulative progression-free survival rates were 93.3%， 86.2%， and 68.9%， respectively， for the observation group and were 80.0%， 62.2%， and 24.9%， respectively， for the control group （P=0.028）， and the 3-， 6-， and 12-month cumulative overall survival rates were 100%， 88.9%， and 88.9%， respectively， for the observation group and were 93.3%， 85.6%， and 70.0%， respectively， for the control group （P=0.340）. ConclusionCompared with D-TACE alone， D-TACE combined with infusion chemotherapy via the superior mesenteric artery shows better short-term efficacy in the treatment of HCC complicated by PVTT.
