In recent years,a growing body of research has demonstrated that acupuncture can be used to effectively treat a diverse range of diseases,including functional gastrointestinal disorders,cardiovascular diseases,as well as anxiety and depression,through the modulation of the paraventricular hypothalamic nucleus(PVN).Acupuncture may exert its therapeutic effect either by modulating specific neurons within the PVN,such as corticotropin releasing hormone(CRH)neurons,or by regulating the release of hormones,such as oxytocin(OXT)and vasopressin(VP),and the activity of neural circuits associated with the PVN.This review summarizes the mechanisms by which PVN is involved in acupuncture treatment,including its regulatory mechanisms in gastrointestinal diseases,cardiovascular diseases,and negative emotions and pain.Future research should be conducted to further explore the precise mechanisms by which acupuncture regulates PVN to treat diseases,focusing on clarifying the specific processes of signaling pathway transduction,and exploring the specific effects of acupunture of different acupoint combinations and stimulation frequencies and intensity on PVN.

Gastric cancer is a common malignant tumor with complex pathological mechanisms， a low early diagnosis rate， and a high mortality rate. However， surgical treatment， targeted therapy， and chemotherapy have their treatment limitations and toxic side effects. Therefore， exploring the pathogenesis and mechanism of gastric cancer and finding effective treatment methods are important. At present， researches has found that tumor epithelial cells exhibit individual differences in molecular characteristics and exhibit metabolic heterogeneity that affects cell phenotype and function. The interaction between metabolites and cytokines can inhibit the formation of the tumor immune microenvironment and promote malignant progression. Therefore， metabolic reprogramming is regarded as a key feature of tumors and plays an important role in the process of tumor occurrence and development. However， the continuous deterioration of gastric cancer may be closely related to changes in the energy metabolism of cancer cells. Gastric cancer cells may regulate the dysregulation of synthesis or decomposition pathways such as glucose metabolism， amino acid metabolism， lipid metabolism， and nucleotide metabolism and activate associated signaling pathways， key proteins， and genes， leading to proliferation， invasion， and metastasis of cancer cells. In recent years， there has been a close relationship between the effective intervention by traditional Chinese medicine in gastric cancer and the regulation of metabolic reprogramming. There has been some progress in the intervention research on effective ingredients and formulas of traditional Chinese medicine for cancer. This article summarized existing Chinese and foreign literature on how gastric cancer cells affect disease progression by regulating their related metabolic networks， such as glucose metabolism， amino acid metabolism， lipid metabolism， and nucleotide metabolism， as well as how effective ingredients and formulas of traditional Chinese medicine enhance anti-tumor effects through targeted metabolism. It reviewed metabolic reprogramming intervention in gastric cancer， providing a reference for research on metabolic reprogramming regulation by traditional Chinese medicine and new targets and strategies for the treatment and prognosis of gastric cancer.

Objective To predict the target and molecular mechanism of Huayu Xiaopi decoction in the intervention of Precancerous lesions of gastric cancer(PLGC)based on network pharmacology and molecular docking technology,and to conduct experimental verification.Methods A total of 60 SPF SD male rats were randomly selected as blank control,and the other rats were replicated in PLGC model.After successful modeling,the rats were randomly divided into model group,folic acid group(2 mg·kg-1·d-1),Huayu Xiaopi decoction high,medium and low dose groups(24.8,12.4,6.2 g·kg-1·d-1),which were continuously administered for 90 days.The body mass and food intake of rats at 3 h were recorded,and the gastric histopathology was observed by HE staining.Network pharmacology and molecular docking techniques were used to predict the potential targets of Huayu Xiaopi decoction in PLGC intervention,and the core targets were verified by Western blot technique.Results Compared with the blank group,the body mass and 3 h food intake of rats in the model group were significantly decreased(P<0.05),the gastric mucosa of rats was significantly thinner,the glands were significantly reduced and disordered,and the intestinal metaplasia goblet cells and a large number of inflammatory cells were visible in some areas.Compared with the model group,the body mass and 3 h food intake of rats in each administration group were improved to varying degrees.Huayu Xiaopi Decoction improved significantly in medium and high doses(P<0.05),the gastric mucosa was repaired in different degrees,the glandular arrangement tended to be orderly,and the inflammatory cells in the interstitial were gradually reduced.The results of network pharmacology and molecular docking showed that TP53,JUN and MAPK3/1(ERK1/2)were the core targets of Huayu Xiaopi decoction in the intervention of PLGC.Molecular biological detection results showed that compared with blank group,the protein phosphorylation levels of TP53,c-Jun and ERK1/2 in gastric tissue of model group were significantly increased(P<0.05).Compared with model group,the protein phosphorylation levels of TP53,c-Jun and ERK1/2 in gastric tissue of rats in all administration groups were decreased to different degrees,and significantly decreased in Huayu Xiaopi decoction high-dose and medium-dose groups(P<0.05).Conclusion Huayu Xiaopi Decoction can significantly improve the survival condition of PLGC rats and promote gastric mucosal repair,the specific mechanism of which may be related to the decrease of ERK1/2,c-Jun and TP53 protein phosphorylation levels in gastric tissue of PLGC rats,and then regulate the downstream signaling molecular response.

Objective To investigate the intervention mechanism of Shenqi Yiliu Prescription in a rat model of precancerous lesions of gastric carcinoma(PLGC)based on transcriptomics.Methods A PLGC rat model was constructed using composite factor modeling method.Rats were randomly divided into blank group,model group,folic acid group(0.002 g/kg),and Shenqi Yiliu Prescription high-,medium-and low-dosage groups(39.6,19.8 and 9.9 g/kg),with 10 rats in each group.They were given corresponding solutions for gavage for 90 consecutive days.The general condition of rats was observed,HE staining was used to observe the morphology gastric mucosa,immunofluorescence staining was used to detect the expression of PCNA protein in gastric tissue,transcriptomics obtains differentially expressed mRNA in gastric tissue and enriches differentially expressed pathways,ELISA was used to detect the contents of Bcl-xL,C-myc and Cyclin D1 in gastric tissue,RT-qPCR was used to detect the expression of Bcl-xL,C-myc and Cyclin D1 mRNA in gastric tissue,Western blot was used to detect the expressions of IL-6,JAK2,STAT3,p-JAK2 and p-STAT3 protein in gastric tissue.Results Compared with the blank group,rats in the model group showed decreased body mass(P<0.05),with structural disorders of the gastric mucosa,the expression of PCNA protein in gastric tissue increased(P<0.05),the contents and mRNA expression Bcl-xL,C-myc and Cyclin D1 in gastric tissue significantly increased(P<0.05),the expression of IL-6,JAK2,STAT3,p-JAK2,p-STAT3 protein significantly increased(P<0.05).Compared with the model group,the body mass of rats in Shenqi Yiliu Prescription high-and medium-dosage groups increased to varying degrees(P<0.05),the abnormal morphology of the gastric mucosa were improved to different degrees,and the expression of PCNA protein in Shenqi Yiliu Prescription high-,medium-and low-dosage groups significantly decreased(P<0.05).The results of transcriptomics experiments confirmed that the JAK-STAT signalling pathway showed significant differences between the blank group and model group,as well as the model group and Shenqi Yiliu Prescription high-dosage group.The content and mRNA expression of Bcl-xL,C-myc and Cyclin D1 in gastric tissue of Shenqi Yiliu Prescription high-and medium-dosage groups significantly decreased(P<0.05),and the protein expression of IL-6,JAK2,STAT3,p-JAK2 and p-STAT3 significantly decreased(P<0.05).Conclusion Shenqi Yiliu Prescription can improve the abnormal morphology of gastric mucosa in PLGC model rats,and its mechanism is related to regulating the IL-6/JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway,thereby inhibiting cell proliferation.
