Gancao Fuzitang originates from the Treatise on Febrile Diseases and Miscellaneous Diseases （《伤寒杂病论》） and is mainly used to treat pain in the bones and joints and symptoms such as no flexion or extension. It has the effect of tonifying the spleen and kidney and removing dampness and turbidity， so it is widely used in the clinical treatment of various bone and joint diseases. This article reviewed the clinical research and mechanism of Gancao Fuzitang in the treatment of bone and joint diseases. The research has found that this prescription has good efficacy in treating bone and joint diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis， rheumatoid arthritis， ankylosing spondylitis， gout， and intervertebral disc herniation. Its mechanism of action may be related to regulating the level of inflammatory factors， antioxidation， and the protein expression of inflammatory and apoptotic cell-related pathways， improving bone and joint diseases， and alleviating related symptoms. This study can provide a reference for further deepening the research on the prevention and treatment of bone and joint diseases with Gancao Fuzitang.

ObjectiveTo explore the effect of Qingre Huayu Jianpi prescription （QHJ） on colitis-associated colorectal cancer （CAC） in mice， and its related mechanism. MethodC57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into four groups including the normal， model， QHJ low-dose （QHJ-L， 10 g·kg^-1）， and QHJ high-dose （QHJ-H， 40 g·kg^-1） groups. Azoxymethane （AOM） and dextran sodium sulfate （DSS） were combined to chemically build a CAC mouse model for 14 weeks. Each drug group was given intragastrically from the 5^th week to the 14^th week， once per day. An equal volume of water was fed to the normal and model groups. The mouse survival rate， colon length， weight， and pathological alterations were assessed. The protein expressions of Wnt-3a protein signaling （Wnt3a）， β-catenin， Non-phosphor-β-catenin （Non-p-β-catenin）， and cholesterol-binding glycoproteins 133 （CD133） were detected by Western blot. The localization and expression of the cluster of differentiation （CD） 80 and CD11 antigen-like family member B （CD11b） were detected by immunohistochemistry （IHC）. The colon organoids derived from CAC mice were isolated and cultured to detect the expression of Wnt signaling pathway-related proteins. ResultThe survival rate of the CAC mice was improved by QHJ treatment and the number of colon tumors was inhibited significantly. Compared with those in the normal group， the expression levels of Wnt3a， β-catenin， Non-p-β-catenin， and CD133 in colon tissues in the model group were significantly increased （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Compared with those in the model group， the levels of Wnt3a and β-catenin in the QHJ-L group were significantly decreased （P<0.01）， and the protein levels of Wnt3a， β-catenin， Non-p-β-catenin， and CD133 in the QHJ-H group were significantly decreased （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Meanwhile， the expression level of CD11b in the model group was significantly increased compared with that in the normal group while the CD80 level was significantly decreased （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Compared with those in the model group， CD11b in QHJ-L and QHJ-H groups was significantly decreased， and CD80 was significantly increased（P<0.05， P<0.01）. The expressions of Non-p-β-catenin and CD133 in colonic organoids of CAC model mice were significantly increased， while QHJ treatment could inhibit the expressions of Non-p-β-catenin and CD133 in colonic organoids （P<0.01）. ConclusionQHJ could inhibit the inflammation-cancer development in CAC mice， the mechanism of which might be related to regulating the microenvironment and inhibiting the over-activation of Wnt signaling.

Objective To explore the effect of ligustrazine on the learning and memory function of rats with aluminum-induced cognitive impairment and its mechanism.Methods Sixty male Wistar rats were divided into a blank control group,a model group,a low-dose ligustrazine group,a high-dose ligustrazine group,and a piracetam group using a random number table method,with 12 rats in each group.The rats in the blank control group were not subjected to any treatment;the rats in the model group,low-dose ligustrazine group,high-dose ligustrazine group,and piracetam group were first prepared with aluminum toxicity models by daily gavage of 100 mg·kg-1 AlCl3 solution.After successful modeling,the rats in the piracetam group were intragastrically administered with piracetam at a dose of 400 mg·kg-1,while rats in the low-dose and high-dose ligustrazine groups were intragastrically administered with 100 and 200 mg·kg-1 ligustrazine,respectively;the rats in the blank control group and the model group were intragastrically administered with the same volume of physiological saline.All rats in the five groups received intragas tric administration once a day for 30 consecutive days.After 30 days of intervention,the Morris water maze test was used to evaluate the learning and memory function of rats in the five groups.After completing the water maze experiment,rats in the five groups were anesthetized with 200 g·L-1 chloral hydrate,and their brain tissues were quickly removed after decapitation.Immunohistochemical staining was used to observe the expression of calcium voltage-gated channel subunit alpha 1E(CACNA1E),calmodulin(CALM),and brain-derived neurotrophic factor(BDNF)in the hippocampal CA1 region of rats in the five groups;Western blot was used to detect the relative expression levels of CACNA1E,CALM,and BDNF proteins in the hippocampal CA1 region of rats in the five groups;and real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction was used to detect the relative expression levels of CACNA1E,CALM,and BDNF mRNA in the hippocampal CA1 region of rats in the five groups.Results On the 1st day of the Morris water maze test,the latent periods of rats in the model group,piracetam group,low-dose ligustrazine group,and high-dose ligustrazine group were significantly higher than those in the blank control group(P＜0.05);there was no statistically significant

piracetam group and high-dose ligustrazine group were significantly lower than those in the model group and low-dose ligustrazine group(P＜0.05);there was no statistically significant difference in the latent periods of rats between the low-dose ligustrazine group and the model group(P＞0.05).On the 3rd and 5th days of the Morris water maze test,there was no statistically significant difference in the latent periods of rats between the piracetam group and the high-dose ligustrazine group(P＞0.05).The times of rats crossing platform in the model group,piracetam group,low-dose ligustrazine group,and high-dose ligustrazine group were significantly lower than those in the blank control group,and the times of rats crossing platform in the piracetam group and high-dose ligustrazine group were significantly higher than those in the model group and low-dose ligustrazine group(P＜0.05);there was no statistically significant difference in the times of rats crossing platform between the low-dose ligustrazine group and the model group(P＞0.05);there was no statistically significant difference in the times of rats crossing platform between the piracetam group and the high-dose ligustrazine group(P＞0.05).Under the microscope,brown CACNA1E,CALM,and BDNF positive cells could be observed in the hippocampal CA1 region.The expressions of CACNA1E,CALM,and BDNF proteins in the hippocampal CA1 region of rats in the model group,piracetam group,low-dose ligustrazine group,and high-dose ligustrazine group were significantly lower than those in the blank control group,and the expressions of CACNA1E,CALM,and BDNF proteins in the hippocampal CAl region of rats in the piracetam group and high-dose ligustrazine group were significantly higher than those in the model group and low-dose ligustrazine group(P＜0.05);there was no statistically significant difference in the expressions of CACNA1E,CALM,and BDNF proteins in the hippocampal CAI region of rats between the low-dose ligustrazine group and the model group(P＞0.05);there was no statistically significant difference in the expressions of CACNA1E,CALM,and BDNF proteins in the hippocampal CA1 region of rats between the piracetam group and the high-dose ligustrazine group(P＞0.05).The relative expression levels of CACNA1E,CALM,and BDNF proteins and mRNAs in the hippocampal CA1 region of rats in the model group,piracetam group,low-dose ligustrazine group,and high-dose ligustrazine group were significantly lower than those in the blank control group(P＜0.05);the relative expression levels of CACNA1E,CALM,and BDNF proteins and mRNAs in the hippocampal CA1 region of rats in the piracetam group and high-dose ligustrazine group were significantly higher than those in the model group and low-dose ligustrazine group(P＜0.05);there was no statistically significant difference in the relative expression levels of CACNA1E,CALM,and BDNF proteins and mRNAs in the hippocampal CA1 region of rats between the low-dose ligustrazine group and the model group(P＞0.05);there was no statistically significant difference in the relative expression levels of CACNA1E,CALM,and BDNF proteins and mRNAs in the hippocampal CA1 region of rats between the piracetam group and the high-dose ligustrazine group(P＞0.05).Conclusion Ligustrazine has significant protective effects on aluminum-induced cognitive impairment in rats and can greatly enhance the learning and memory function of rats.The mechanism may be related to the up-regulation of CANA1E,CALM and BDNF expression in the brain induced by ligustrazine.
