ObjectiveTo identify the direct target proteins for the anti-obesity effect of resveratrol （Res） via chemical proteomic analysis and systematically explore the molecular mechanisms by which Res inhibits lipid accumulation in adipocytes from mitochondrial function regulation， adipocyte browning， and inflammation inhibition， thus providing new targets and experimental evidence for the prevention and treatment of obesity and related metabolic diseases. MethodsThe cell counting kit-8 （CCK-8） assay was adopted to detect the safe and effective doses （7.5， 15， 30 μmol·L^-1） of Res for treating 3T3-L1 cells based on the cell survival rate. After being induced to differentiate into mature adipocytes， the cells were assigned into the blank ［treated with dimethyl sulfoxide （DMSO）］ group and the Res （7.5， 15， 30 μmol·L^-1） groups and treated for 48 h. Oil red O staining and total triglyceride （TG） content were assessed to measure lipid accumulation in adipocytes. Target protein identification of Res was conducted through IAA-P-based chemical proteomics combined with high-resolution mass spectrometry. Target proteins of Res were validated by cellular thermal shift assay （CETSA） combined with Western blot analysis. Furthermore， the expression of browning markers peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivator-1α （PGC-1α） and mitochondrial uncoupling protein 1 （UCP1）， as well as the target proteins NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase core subunit S8 （NDUFS8） and high-mobility group protein B1 （HMGB1） were determined by Western blot. The ATP assay kit was used to measure the ATP concentration. Mitochondrial biogenesis was characterized with MitoTracker Green， on the basis of which the regulatory effect of Res on mitochondrial function was analyzed. The level of the inflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α） was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）， on the basis of which the anti-inflammatory effect of Res on adipocytes was evaluated. ResultsCompared with the control group， Res demonstrated safety and efficacy within the range of 7.5-30 μmol·L^-1， without significantly affecting cell viability. Compared with the control group， different concentrations of Res reduced lipid accumulation in 3T3-L1 adipocytes （P<0.01）， promoted the expression of NDUFS8 （P<0.01）， increased the ATP concentration and the protein levels of UCP1 and PGC-1α， elevated the level of TNF-α （P<0.05， P<0.01）. ConclusionNDUFS8 and HMGB1were identified as the target proteins of Res in mitigating obesity. Res promotes mitochondrial biogenesis to induce the browning of 3T3-L1 adipocytes via targeting NDUFS8 and it inhibits the TNF-α-mediated inflammatory signaling via targeting HMGB1， thus inhibiting lipid accumulation and ameliorating obesity.

ObjectiveChinese patent medicines for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases are diverse and complex in their efficacy. The traditional classification method based on efficacy categories has certain limitations and cannot meet the clinical needs for individualized drug selection and variety comparison. This article， based on the formulation compatibility analysis technology of "Tangye Jingfa Tu"， clarifies the composition and efficacy characteristics of common Chinese patent medicines used for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases， providing support for the precise selection of these medicines. MethodsFifty-six representative Chinese patent medicines， covering all the efficacy subcategories of "stasis-resolving agents" in the National Basic Medical Insurance， Work Injury Insurance， and Maternity Insurance Drug Catalogue （2023） （more than 50% of the total）， were selected for the study. Within the knowledge system of "Tangye Jingfa Tu"， the compatibility structure of herbal flavors and the proportion structure of herbal quantities for each Chinese patent medicine were determined. The correlation between these structures and the efficacy categories was analyzed to identify the similarities and differences among the selected Chinese patent medicines. Additionally， the efficacy was reclassified and compared according to the theoretical framework of tonifying and purging methods of five Zang organs in the "Tangye Jingfa Tu". ResultsThe representative Chinese patent medicines included in the analysis were Shexiang Baoxin pills， Danshen tablets， Qili Qiangxin capsules， Breviscapine tablets， etc.， covering all the efficacy subcategories of "stasis-resolving agents". Among the 56 representative Chinese patent medicines， salty flavor was the most common （48）， followed by pungent （33）， and sweet （26）. According to the dominant herbal flavor， salty flavor was the most common （37）， followed by pungent （9）， and sour （5）. According to the dominant herbal quantity， salty flavor was the most common （27）， followed by sour （7）， and pungent （5）. Furthermore， Chinese patent medicines with different efficacy subtypes showed different flavor characteristics. For example， most Qi-invigorating and blood-activating agents contained sweet drugs for tonifying the spleen （9/10）， most Qi-moving and blood-activating agents contained pungent drugs for tonifying the liver （7/8）， and all kidney-invigorating and blood-activating agents contained bitter drugs for tonifying the kidneys （6/6）. However， the efficacy classification of individual medicines did not always align with the compatibility characteristics of their formulas， as seen with Dengyin Naotong capsules. ConclusionThe formulations of Chinese patent medicines for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases predominantly feature salty， sour， and pungent flavors， which largely conform to the therapeutic principles of "nourishing the heart with salt and soothing the heart with sour" and the liver-heart， heart-spleen mother-child treatment relationship shown in the "Tangye Jingfa Tu". Using the "Tangye Jingfa Tu" framework to conduct research on the structure and efficacy characteristics of Chinese patent medicines is objective and effective.

BACKGROUND: Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is common in atrial fibrillation (AF) patients and may develop earlier in those with multiple cardiovascular comorbidities, potentially impairing self-management and treatment adherence. This study aimed to characterize the prevalence and profile of MCI in AF patients, examine its associations with cardiovascular comorbidities, and assess how these comorbidities influence specific cognitive domains. METHODS: This cross-sectional study analyzed data from AF patients who underwent cognitive assessment between 2017 and 2021. Cognitive status was categorized as MCI or non-MCI based on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment. Associations between comorbidities and MCI were assessed by logistic regression, and cognitive domains were compared using the Mann-Whitney U test. RESULTS: Of 4136 AF patients (mean age: 64.7 ± 9.4 years, 64.7% male), 33.5% of patients had MCI. Among the AF patients, 31.2% of patients had coronary artery disease, 20.1% of patients had heart failure, and 18.1% of patients had hypertension. 88.7% of patients had left atrial enlargement, and 11.0% of patients had reduced left ventricular ejection fraction. Independent factors associated with higher MCI prevalence included older age (OR = 1.04, 95% CI: 1.03-1.05, P < 0.001), lower education level (OR = 1.51, 95% CI: 1.31-1.73, P < 0.001), hypertension (OR = 1.28, 95% CI: 1.07-1.52, P = 0.001), heart failure (OR = 1.24, 95% CI: 1.04-1.48, P = 0.020), and lower left ventricular ejection fraction (OR = 1.43, 95% CI: 1.04-1.98, P = 0.028). A higher CHA₂DS₂-VASc score (OR = 1.27, 95% CI: 1.22-1.33, P < 0.001; ≥ 2 points vs. < 2 points), and greater atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease burden (OR = 1.45, 95% CI: 1.02-2.08, P = 0.040; 2 types vs. 0 type) were linked to increased MCI risk. These above factors influenced various cognitive domains. CONCLUSIONS MCI is common in AF and closely associated with cardiovascular multimorbidity. Patients with multiple comorbidities are at higher risk, highlighting the importance of routine cognitive assessment to support self-management and integrated care.

Objective To investigate the distribution and antimicrobial resistance profiles of clinically isolated Haemophilus influenzae and Moraxella catarrhalis in hospitals across China from 2015 to 2021,and provide evidence for rational use of antimicrobial agents.Methods Data of H.influenzae and M.catarrhalis strains isolated from 2015 to 2021 in CHINET program were collected for analysis,and antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed by disc diffusion method or automated systems according to the uniform protocol of CHINET.The results were interpreted according to the CLSI breakpoints in 2022.Beta-lactamases was detected by using nitrocefin disk.Results From 2015 to 2021,a total of 43 642 strains of Haemophilus species were isolated,accounting for 2.91％of the total clinical isolates and 4.07％of Gram-negative bacteria in CHINET program.Among the 40 437 strains of H.influenzae,66.89％were isolated from children and 33.11％were isolated from adults.More than 90％of the H.influenzae strains were isolated from respiratory tract specimens.The prevalence of β-lactamase was 53.79％in H.influenzae strains.The H.influenzae strains isolated from children showed higher resistance rate than the strains isolated from adults.Overall,779 strains of H.influenzae did not produce β-lactamase but were resistant to ampicillin(BLNAR).Beta-lactamase-producing strains showed significantly higher resistance rates to these antimicrobial agents than the β-lactamase-nonproducing strains.Of the 16 191 M.catarrhalis strains,80.06％were isolated from children and 19.94％isolated from adults.M.catarrhalis strains were mostly susceptible to both amoxicillin-clavulanic acid and cefuroxime,evidenced by resistance rate lower than 2.0％.Conclusions The emergence of antibiotic-resistant H.influenzae due to β-lactamase production poses a challenge for clinical anti-infective treatment.Therefore,it is very important to implement antibiotic resistance surveillance for H.influenzae and guide rational antibiotic use.All local clinical microbiology laboratories should actively improve antibiotic susceptibility testing and strengthen antibiotic resistance surveillance for H.influenzae.

Objective To explore the effect and mechanism of microRNA(miR)-155-5p on myocardial pyroptosis in rats with myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury(IRI).Methods Sixty SD rats were randomly divided into sham group,IRI group,agomir-NC group,miR-155-5p agomir group,antagomir-NC group,and miR-155-5p antagomir group,with 10 rats in each group.Echocardiography was used to measure the left ventricular end-diastolic diameter(LVEDD),left ventricular end-systolic diameter(LVESD),left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF),and left ventricular fractional shortening(LVFS)of rats.Enzyme-linked immune absorbent assay(ELISA)was used to detect the levels of creatine kinase isoenzyme(CK-MB),lactate dehydrogenase(LDH),and cardiac troponin T(cTnT)in serum,as well as the levels of interleukin(IL)-1β,IL-6,IL-18,and tumor necrosis factor(TNF)-α in myocardial tissue of rats.Hematoxylin-eosin staining was used to observe pathological changes in rat myocardial tissue.Real-time fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction was used to detect the expression levels of miR-155-5p and silent information regulator 1(SIRT1)messenger RNA(mRNA)in myocardial tissue of rats.Dual-luciferase reporter gene assay was used to verify the targeting relationship between miR-155-5p and SIRT1.Western blot was used to detect the expression levels of SIRT1,NOD-like receptor protein 3(NLRP3),cleaved cysteine aspartate specific proteinase-1(Cleaved Caspase-1),and gasdermin D(GSDMD)proteins in myocardial tissue of rats.Results Compared with the sham group,the LVEDD and LVESD of rats in the IRI group were increased,LVEF and LVFS were decreased,serum levels of CK-MB,LDH,and cTnT were increased,IL-1β,IL-6,IL-18 and TNF-α levels in myocardial tissue were increased,myocardial tissue structure was severely damaged,myocardial fibers were disordered,relative expression of NLRP3,Cleaved Caspase-1,and GSDMD proteins were increased,and the relative expression of SIRT1 protein was decreased(all P<0.05/5).Compared with the IRI group,the rats in the miR-155-5p agomir group had increased LVEDD and LVESD,decreased LVEF and LVFS,increased serum levels of CK-MB,LDH,and cTnT,increased myocardial tissue levels of IL-1β,IL-6,IL-18,TNF-α,aggravated myocardial tissue lesions,increased relative expression of NLRP3,Cleaved Caspase-1,and GSDMD proteins,and decreased relative expression of SIRT1 protein,and the rats in the miR-155-5p antagomir group had decreased LVEDD and LVESD,increased LVEF and LVFS,decreased serum levels of CK-MB,LDH,and cTnT,decreased myocardial tissue levels of IL-1β,IL-6,IL-18,TNF-α,reduced myocardial tissue lesions,decreased relative expression of NLRP3,Cleaved Caspase-1,and GSDMD proteins,and increased relative expression of SIRT1 protein(all P<0.05/5).miR-155-5p was negatively correlated with the expression levels of SIRT1 in rat myocardial tissue,and SIRT1 was a target gene of miR-155-5p.Conclusions miR-155-5p may participate in the regulation of myocardial IRI in rats by targeting the downregulation of SIRT1 and promoting NLRP3-mediated myocardial pyroptosis.

Hepatocellular carcinoma （HCC） is the sixth most common cancer in the world. In recent years， the clinical early diagnosis and treatment protocols of HCC have been improved， whereas the prognosis of patients is still not satisfactory， which is due to the fact that the mechanism of HCC development has not been fully elucidated. Therefore， it is of great significance to explore the molecular mechanisms and key regulatory links of hepatocellular carcinoma development to further improve the diagnosis and treatment of HCC in China. Epigenetics has become a research hotspot because of its reversibility and easy regulation. According to relevant studies， HCC involves the accumulation of multiple genetic and epigenetic changes during the initiation， promotion， and progression stages. HCC is categorized as infantile malnutrition with accumulation， hypochondriac pain， tympan ites， and abdominal mass in traditional Chinese medicine （TCM）. In the treatment of HCC， TCM with low toxicity， multi-targets， and multi-mechanisms can inhibit tumor growth， alleviate the clinical symptoms， and enhance the quality of life of the patients. Chinese medicines and their active ingredients exert anti-HCC effects through epigenetic regulation of DNA methylation， histone modification， and non-coding RNA. Abnormal gene expression due to epigenetic regulation disorders is involved in all stages of HCC development. There are few studies on epigenetic regulation in TCM treatment of HCC， and there is still much room for development in basic and clinical trials. This paper reviews the mechanism of epigenetic regulation in HCC and summarizes the experimental results of TCM research on the related mechanism， with a view to providing a theoretical basis for future research on the mechanism of HCC development and clinical diagnosis and treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma with TCM.
