OBJECTIVE To optimize the extraction process of Shenye buyi formula. METHODS Based on the quality by design (QbD) concept, the contents of rutin, nuciferine, sinapine thiocyanate, liquiritin,and glycyrrhizic acid ammonium salt, as well as the extract yield, were selected as the critical quality attributes (CQAs) for the extraction process of Shenye buyi formula. The fishbone diagram combined with the failure model and effect analysis method was adopted to determine the water addition, extraction time and extraction times as critical process parameters (CPPs). High-performance liquid chromatography was employed to detect the contents of rutin, nuciferine, sinapine thiocyanate, liquiritin, and glycyrrhizic acid ammonium salt. The analytic hierarchy process-entropy weight method was used to comprehensively assign weights to the content of the five components including rutin and the extract yield. The Box-Behnken response surface method was employed to fit the mathematical model between CQAs and CPPs, screen the operational space of the extraction process, and validate it. RESULTS The optimal operational space of the extraction process was 9.5 to 12 times the amount of water added, the extraction time was 1 to 1.7 hours, and the extraction times were 3. Upon verification,the comprehensive scores of the optimal extraction process within the operational space were 89.79 and 84.93, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The extraction process of the Shenye buyi formula can be applied to the development and production of its granule preparations.

BackgroundAdverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are strong predictors of psychopathology across the lifespan, exerting extensive adverse effects on physical and mental health during early development. While ACEs increase the risk of childhood psychopathology, sleep quality and impair cognitive function, the early neurobiological mechanisms mediating ACE-induced cognitive impairment remain unclear. ObjectiveTo explore the association between ACEs exposure and the risk of psychopathology, sleep disorders, and cognitive function, and to examine the mediating role of the putamen volume in the relationship between ACEs and cognitive function from a neurodevelopment perspective. MethodsData were obtained from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) study, comprising 10 572 children aged 9 to 10. Participants were categorized into five groups based on the cumulative score of ACEs reported by their parents and the children themselves: no-exposure group (0 types of ACEs), the one-exposure group, the two-exposure group, the three-exposure group, and the high-risk exposure group (≥ 4 types of ACEs). Logistic regression analysis was employed to evaluate the association between ACEs and psychopathological symptoms [T score of the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) ≥ 65]. Multiple linear regression analysis was ultilized to analyze the correlations between ACEs and the scores of the Sleep Disturbance Scale for Children (SDSC), the NIH Toolbox Cognition Battery (NIHTB-CB), as well as the multiple structures in the cerebral cortex and subcortex. The Bootstrap method was applied to test the mediating effect of the putamen volume between ACEs and neurocognitive function. ResultsAfter adjusting for confounders, ACEs cumulative score was correlated with children's psychopathological symptoms in a dose-response manner. Compared with the no-exposed group, the high-risk exposure group had a 2.08-fold (OR=2.080, 95% CI: 1.401–3.088) increased risk of internalizing problems and a 3.13-fold (OR=3.132, 95% CI: 1.703–5.760) increased risk of externalizing problems, and the risk of conduct problems was 4.68 times that of the no-exposed group (OR=4.681, 95% CI: 2.528–8.669). ACEs cumulative score positively predicted the total score of SDSC (β=0.080, 95% CI: 0.059–0.102), with relatively stronger predictive effects on sleep-wake transition disorder (β=0.086, 95% CI: 0.063–0.109) and sleep onset and maintenance disorder (β=0.066, 95% CI: 0.043–0.089). In terms of neurocognition and brain structure, ACEs cumulative score negatively predicted the overall cognitive composite score (β=-0.025, 95% CI: -0.050–-0.001), the crystallized cognitive composite score (β=-0.035, 95% CI: -0.060–-0.010), the volume of the left putamen nucleus (β=-0.025, 95% CI: -0.046– 0.003), and the volume of the right putamen nucleus (β=-0.023, 95% CI: -0.044– 0.003). The total putamen volume played a partial mediating role between ACEs and the overall cognitive composite score, the effect value was -0.002 (95% CI: -0.004–-0.001), accounting for 7.49% of the total effect. ConclusionACEs exposure may increase the risk of psychopathological and sleep disturbances in children and may impair neurocognitive function. Reduced putamen volume may serve a potential neurobiological pathway underlying the impact of ACEs on childhood cognition.

AIM:To investigate the effect of fenofibrate(FF)on the heart of rats with high-altitude heart dis-ease-induced right ventricular hypertrophy(H-RVH),and to explore the mechanisms and associated signaling pathways.METHODS:A total of 36 six-week-old male SD rats were randomly divided into control,model(H-RVH),and FF inter-vention(H-RVH+FF)groups with 12 rats each.A rat model of H-RVH was established by single subcutaneous injection of Sugen 5416(20 mg/kg)and exposure to a hypoxic condition(5 000 m above sea level)for 21 d in all groups except the control group.The rats in H-RVH+FF group were given FF(60 mg·kg-1·d-1)through gavage,while those in control and model groups received equal volume of saline once daily for 21 d.Rat heart gross morphology was observed,and the heart volume and weight,right ventricular weight and other hypertrophy indexes were measured in each group at the end of the experiment.A right heart floating catheter was used for measuring pulmonary artery and right ventricular pressure.Cardi-ac function was checked through cardiac ultrasonography.The serum levels of atrial natriuretic peptide(ANP),N-termi-nal pro-brain natriuretic peptide(NT-proBNP),free fatty acids(FFA),and myocardial tissue glucose(Glu)in all groups of rats were detected.The protein expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α(PPARα),fatty acid binding protein 1(FABP1),carnitine palmitoyl transferase 1a(CPT1a),pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase(PDK),and pyruvate dehydrogenase(PDH)were detected through Western blot.RESULTS:(1)Compared with the control group,the H-RVH group showed a significant increase in heart morphology and weight and increases in heart weight/body weight(HW/BW),heart volume,right ventricular weight/heart weight(RVW/HW),and Fulton index(FI)(P<0.05).Cardiac mor-phology,volume,heart weight,and HW/BW significantly decreased in the fenofibrate intervention group compared with the H-RVH group(P<0.05).RVW/HW and FI also decreased.(2)The right heart float catheter test showed that the mean right ventricular pressure(mRVP)and mean pulmonary artery pressure(mPAP)significantly increased in the H-RVH group compared with the control group(P<0.01).The increases in mRVP and mPAP were reversed in rats in the fe-nofibrate intervention group compared with the H-RVH group.(3)Cardiac ultrasonography showed that compared with the control group,the H-RVH group had significantly increased right ventricular anterior wall(RVAW)and right ventricular posterior wall(RVPW)thickness(P<0.01),significantly decreased right ventricular end-diastolic diameter(RVEDD),and right ventricular end-diastolic length(RVEDL)(P<0.01).In addition,pulmonary artery acceleration time(PAAT)was reduced,ejection time(PAET)was prolonged,and PAAT/PAET ratio decreased(P<0.01).Compared with the H-RVH group,the fenofibrate intervention group showed significant decreases in RVAW and RVPW(P<0.05),increases in RVEDD and RVEDL,and an increase in PAAT/PAET ratio.(4)The kit assay showed that the levels of ANP and NT-Pro BNP in serum were significantly higher in the H-RVH group than in the control group(P<0.05),while the levels of both were lower in the fenofibrate intervention group.The levels of serum FFA and myocardial tissue Glu levels(P<0.05)were significantly higher in the H-RVH group than in the control group.The levels of serum FFA and myocardial tissue Glu level were significantly lower in the fenofibrate intervention group than in the H-RVH group(P<0.05).(5)Western blot results showed that the expression levels of PPARα,FABP1,CPT1a,and PDH in the myocardial tissues of rats in the H-RVH group were significantly reduced(P<0.01),whereas the expression level of PDK significantly increased relative to those of the control group(P<0.01).All the effects on the above indices in the H-RVH group can be significantly re-versed by fenofibrate intervention(P<0.05).CONCLUSION:Fenofibrate exerts a protective effect on the hearts of rats with right ventricular hypertrophy associated with high-altitude heart disease by activating PPARα/FABP1/CPT1a,en-hancing fatty acid oxidation,inhibiting PDK,and activating PDH to promote the aerobic oxidation of glucose.Hence,the medication can ameliorate glucose-lipid metabolism disorders.

A porous composite scaffold is prepared through freeze-drying method using sodium alginate as the matrix and calcium citrate double salt as the functional enhancer.To thoroughly investigate the structure and properties of the composite scaffold,advanced instruments including Fourier transform infrared spectrometer,X-ray diffractometer,scanning electron microscope,and thermogravimetric analyzer are utilized for comprehensive structural characterization.Meanwhile,key properties such as porosity,mechanical performance,swelling ratio,gel fraction,and in vitro degradation rate are systematically tested and analyzed.The results show that the composite of sodium alginate and calcium citrate double salt is a physical complex.The porosity of the scaffold mainly ranges from 200 to 600 μm,and as the addition of double salt increases,the pore size firstly increases and then slightly decreases,while the pore distribution become more uneven.In terms of mechanical properties,with the gradual increase of the content of double salt in the scaffold,the mechanical properties of the scaffold are significantly improved.However,its swelling ratio and gel fraction exhibit decreasing trends.Additionally,the degradation rate of the alginate scaffold is relatively fast,while the addition of calcium citrate double salt does not significantly improve the degradation rate.This study not only provides valuable insights into the preparation and property research of porous composite scaffold composed of sodium alginate/calcium citrate double salt,but also offers important reference for their potential applications in biomedicine.
