ObjectiveTo reveal the compatibility rules of the core compound formula and traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） components for prevention and treatment of chronic atrophic gastritis （CAG） by Huazhuo Jiedu （turbidity-resolving and detoxifying） therapy through uniform design in view of the potential regulatory pathway of endogenous turbid-toxin retention in CAG， elucidate the potential pathway by which the compound formulas regulate the Wnt/β-catenin-connexin 43 （CX43） signaling axis， demonstrated the efficacy enhancement and toxicity attenuation among the components， thus providing experimental evidence for the scientific application of multi-component， multi-target compatibility in TCM compound formulas. MethodsA mouse model of CAG was established with N-methyl-N-nitrosourea （MNU）. Sixty mice were randomly allocated into 5 groups （n=12 per group）： blank control， model， low-dose Huazhuo Jiedu core compound formula （HXFF-L， 4.004 g·kg^-1）， high-dose Huazhuo Jiedu core compound formula （HXFF-H， 8.008 g·kg^-1）， and positive control （folic acid at 11 mg·kg^-1 + vitamin B₁₂ at 14 mg·kg^-1）. The therapeutic efficacy and molecular mechanism of the core compound formula were evaluated by hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining， Alcian blue-periodic acid-Schiff （AB-PAS） staining， enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）， transmission electron microscopy （TEM）， immunofluorescence assay， and Western blot. The chemical components of the core compound formula were detected and effective components were screened by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole-orbitrap high-resolution mass spectrometry （UHPLC-Q-Orbitrap HRMS）. Another 120 mice were randomized into blank control， model， and 8 HXFF component-combination groups with different dosages （uniform design groups 1-8， n=12 per group）. A uniform design was adopted， with pathological scores of mouse gastric tissue as well as serum levels of pepsinogen Ⅰ （PGⅠ）， pepsinogen Ⅱ （PGⅡ）， and gastrin 17 （GAS17） set as dependent variables. Multivariate linear regression analysis was performed to predict the optimal proportion of core components in the compound formula and explore its compatibility rules. ResultsPharmacodynamic validation showed that compared with the blank control group， the model group had decreased gastric weight index （P<0.01） and increased pathological damage score and inflammatory factor levels （P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， these indicators were reversed in the HXFF-L， HXFF-H， and positive control groups （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Immunofluorescence results showed that CX43 expression was downregulated in the model group compared with the blank control group （P<0.01） and upregulated in the HXFF-H and positive control groups compared with the model group （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Western blot results showed that compared with the blank control group， the model group demonstrated upregulated protein levels of Wnt and β-catenin in the gastric tissue （P<0.01）. Compared with those in the model group， the protein level of Wnt was downregulated in the HXFF-L， HXFF-H， and positive control groups （P<0.05， P<0.01）， while that of β-catenin was downregulated only in the HXFF-H group （P<0.05）. A total of 25 compounds were identified in the core compound formula， including 9 from Coptidis Rhizoma， 10 from Pogostemonis Herba， 2 from Scorpio， and 4 from Lilii Bulbus. According to the category and origin of compounds， Coptidis Rhizoma alkaloids， Pogostemonis Herba volatile oils， Scorpio peptides， and Lilii Bulbus alkaloids were finally selected for component research. The predicted optimal combination of TCM components was as follows： Coptidis Rhizoma alkaloids at 75 mg·kg^-1， Pogostemonis Herba volatile oils at 2.25 mg·kg^-1， Scorpio protein extract at 90 mg·kg^-1， and Lilii Bulbus alkaloids at 9 mg·kg^-1. Coptidis Rhizoma alkaloids， Scorpio protein extract， Pogostemonis Herba volatile oils， and Lilii Bulbus alkaloids can ameliorate pathological lesions of the gastric tissue. Scorpio protein extract exerted positive regulatory effects on the gastric function， while Pogostemonis Herba volatile oils and Lilii Bulbus alkaloids showed negative correlations with partial gastric function indicators. Further investigations are required to clarify their dose-effect relationships and safety profiles. ConclusionThis study， for the first time， predicts the optimal proportion and synergistic regulatory mechanism of the core compound formula of Huazhuo Jiedu therapy， revealing the synergistic compatibility logic of its components. It provides a novel strategy for the precise TCM treatment of CAG and the modern development of compound formulas.

ObjectiveTo study the effects of applying different microbial fertilizers on the growth and rhizosphere soil environment of Codonopsis pilosula and provide a theoretical basis for ecological cultivation of this medicinal plant. MethodsSeven groups were designed， including CK （no application of microbial fertilizer）， T1 （Trichoderma longibrachiatum fertilizer）， T2 （Bacillus subtilis fertilizer）， T3 （Trichoderma viride fertilizer）， T4 （compound microbial fertilizer）， T5 （C. pilosula stems and leaves fermented with compound microbial fertilizer）， and T6 （Scutellaria baicalensis stems and leaves fermented with T. viride fertilizer）. The physiological indicators， yield， and quality of C. pilosula and the physicochemical properties， enzyme activities， and microbial diversity in the rhizosphere soil of different fertilizer treatments were measured. ResultsGroup T1 showed slight decreases in soluble protein content （SPC） and superoxide dismutase （SOD）. Groups T2-T6 showed increases in physiological indicators such as proline （Pro）， soluble solids content （SSC）， SPC， catalase （CAT）， and peroxidase （POD） and a decrease in malondialdehyde （MDA） in C. pilosula leaves. All the fertilizer treatments increased the yield of C. pilosula and the total polysaccharide content in the roots. T1， T2， T3， T4， and T5 increased the total flavonoid content in the roots. Meanwhile， T4 increased the total saponin content in the roots. All the fertilizer treatments reduced the pH and increased the electric conductivity （EC）， soil organic matter （SOM）， and alkaline nitrogen （AN） in the soil. T2 and T5 increased the available phosphorus （AP）， and T3， T4， T5， and T6 increased the available potassium （AK） in the soil. All the fertilizer treatments increased the activities of urease， sucrase， and CAT in the soil. Except that T1 decreased the bacterial diversity in the soil， other fertilizer treatments significantly increased bacterial and fungal diversity in the soil. Different fertilizer treatments significantly affected the composition of bacterial and fungal communities in the soil. At the phylum level， the dominant bacterial phyla included Proteobacteria， Acidobacteriota， and Bacteroideta， and the dominant fungal phyla were Ascomycota， Mortierellomycota， and unclassified_fungi in the rhizosphere soil of C. pilosula after bacterial fertilizer treatment. At the genus level， unclassified Gemmatimonadaceae， Sphingomonas， and unclassified Vicinamibacteraceae were the dominant bacterial genera， while unidentified， unclassified Fungi， and unclassified Sordariomycetes were the dominant fungal genera in the rhizosphere soil. The results of redundancy analysis indicated that the main physicochemical factors affecting changes of microbial communities in the rhizosphere soil of C. pilosula were pH， EC， AK， AN， AP， and soil organic matter （SOM） in the soil. The correlation heatmap showed that Bryobacter had significantly positive correlations with EC， AK， and AN. There was a significantly negative correlation between Fusarium and SOM. In summary， applying an appropriate amount of microbial fertilizer can promote the growth and improve the rhizosphere soil environment of C. pilosula. ConclusionThe compound microbial fertilizer and the C. pilosula stems and leaves fermented with compound microbial fertilizer can improve the soil nutrients， growth， development， yield， and quality of C. pilosula， and thus they can be applied to the artificial cultivation of C. pilosula.
