OBJECTIVE To explore the mechanism of Huayu jiedu formula in regulating inflammatory injury in chronic kidney disease (CKD). METHODS Fifty male SD rats were randomly divided into a sham surgery group (10 rats) and a modeling group (40 rats). The CKD model was replicated in the modeling group by unilateral ureteral obstruction surgery. After successful modeling, the rats were randomly divided into model group, esaxerenone group (positive control), and TCM low- and high-dose groups, with 10 rats in each group. The Esaxerenone group was given 1 mg/kg of esaxerenone, while the TCM low- and high-dose groups were given 13.7 and 27.4 g/kg of Huayu jiedu formula respectively, the sham surgery group and model group were given an equal volume of physiological saline, all groups were intervened continuously for 14 days. Hematoxylin eosin and Masson staining were used to observe the pathological changes in rat kidney tissue. Conventional biochemical methods were used to detect serum urea (SUr), serum creatinine (SCr), malondialdehyde (MDA), and superoxide dismutase (SOD) levels; enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to detect the levels of serum interleukin-1β (IL-1β), IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α); immunohistochemistry and Western blot were used to detect the protein expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivator-1α(PGC-1α) , mitochondrial transcription factor A (TFAM), absent in melanoma 2(AIM2), caspase-1, gasdermin D (GSDMD), IL-1β and IL-18 in renal tissue; real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR was used to detect the mRNA expression of AIM2. RESULTS Compared with the sham surgery group, the renal tissue of the model group showed pathological changes such as glomerular deformation and destruction, severe tubular dilation, and increased deposition of blue fibrin; the levels of SUr, SCr, MDA, IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α,the protein expression of AIM2, GSDMD, caspase-1, IL-1β, IL-18 , and the mRNA expression of AIM2 were significantly increased or up-regulated (P<0.01); the levels of SOD, the protein expression of PGC-1α, TFAM were significantly reduced or down-regulated (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, all treatment groups showed improvement in the above symptoms and most indicators in rats. CONCLUSIONS Huayu jiedu formula may improve renal function, alleviate renal inflammatory damage and pyroptosis, and exert renal protective effects by regulating the AIM2 pyroptosis pathway.

Coronavirus-related diseases pose a significant challenge to the global health system. Given the diversity of coronaviruses and the unpredictable nature of disease outbreaks, the traditional "one bug, one drug" paradigm struggles to address the growing number of emerging crises. Therefore, there is an urgent need for therapeutic agents with broad-spectrum anti-coronavirus activity. Here, we provide evidence that ATV006, an anti-SARS-CoV-2 nucleoside analog targeting RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp), has broad antiviral activity against human and animal coronaviruses. Using mouse hepatitis virus (MHV) and human coronavirus NL63 (HCoV-NL63) as a model, we show that ATV006 has potent prophylactic and therapeutic activity against murine coronavirus infection in vivo. Remarkably, ATV006 successfully inhibits viral replication in mice even when administered 96 h after infection. Due to its oral bioavailability and potency against multiple coronaviruses, ATV006 has the potential to become a useful antiviral agent against SARS-CoV-2 and other circulating and emerging coronaviruses in humans and animals.

BACKGROUND:
Although the need for consolidation chemotherapy after successful induction therapy is well established in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in first complete remission (CR1), the value of consolidation chemotherapy before allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation remains controversial.
METHODS:
We retrospectively compared the effect of the number of pre-transplant consolidation chemotherapies on outcomes of human leukocyte antigen-matched sibling stem cell transplantation (MSDT) for patients with AML in CR1 in multicenters across China. In our study, we analyzed data of 373 AML patients in CR1 from three centers across China.
RESULTS:
With a median follow-up of 969 days, patients with ≥ 3 courses of consolidation chemotherapy had higher probabilities of leukemia-free survival (LFS) (85.6% vs . 67.0%, P < 0.001) and overall survival (89.2% vs . 78.5%, P = 0.007), and better cumulative incidences of relapse (10.5% vs . 19.6%, P = 0.020) and non-relapse mortality (4.2% vs . 14.9%, P = 0.001) than those with ≤ 2 courses of consolidation chemotherapy. Pre-transplantation minimal residual disease-negative patients with AML in CR1 who received MSDT with ≥ 3 courses of consolidation chemotherapy had a higher probability of LFS (85.9% vs . 67.7%, P = 0.003) and a lower cumulative incidence of relapse (9.6% vs . 23.3%, P = 0.013) than those with ≤ 2 courses.
CONCLUSION
Our results indicate that patients with AML in CR1 who received MSDT might benefit from pre-transplant consolidation chemotherapy.
