Da Qinjiaotang is the 54th formula of the 100 formulas in the Catalogue of Ancient Classical Formulas (the first batch) ,and it originated from the Collection of Writings on the Mechanism of Disease, Suitability of Qi, and Safeguarding of Life Discussed in Plain Questions. Da Qinjiaotang is composed of Gentiana macrophylla, Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, Ligusticum chuanxiong, Angelica sinensis, Paeonia lactiflora, Asari Radix et Rhizoma, Notopterygium incisum, Saposhnikoviae Radix, Scutellariae Radix, Gypsum, Angelica dahurica, Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma, Rehmanniae Radix, Rehmanniae Radix Praeparata, Poria, and Angelicae Pubescentis Radix. It is a classical formula for treating strokes. Da Qinjiaotang is widely used in modern clinical practices for treating ischemic stroke, peripheral facial paralysis, cervical spondylosis, rheumatic arthritis, neurodermatitis, and other multisystem diseases. Therefore, following the Principles of Textual Research on the Key Information of Ancient Classical Famous Formulas, the authors collected the ancient Chinese medical literature of Da Qinjiaotang by the method of bibliometrics and screened out 177 valid data, involving 100 ancient books of traditional Chinese medicine. Based on the historical evolution, composition, dosage, method of preparation, and preparation of the original medicinal materials of Da Qinjiaotang, a systematic study was carried out. It was found that among the 175 records of the main diseases and syndromes, stroke (144) was the most, accounting for 82.29% of the total diseases and syndromes. Later generations mostly followed the practice of LIU Wansu in using Da Qinjiaotang to treat stroke caused by "weak blood and inability to nourish tendon", featuring "hands and feet cannot move, stiff tongue hinders speaking", as well as other symptoms, such as slant of the mouth, hemiplegia, numbness of the limbs, paroxysmal pain, and acerbic syncope. The treatment scope was expanded, covering tendon dryness, clonic convulsion, spasm syndrome, and arthralgia syndrome. At the same time, it was found that there was a controversy between "internal wind" and "external wind" in the treatment of stroke by Da Qinjiaotang. LIU Wansu thought that stroke was caused by internal factors, created the theory of "hot stroke", and used Da Qinjiaotang to treat "internal wind". Many doctors in later generations focused on treating the "external wind" of "internal deficiency and evil". There were 76 valid data on the composition of drugs, 59 of which had doses for each drug. It was suggested to use the modern conversion dosage of the original formula, with 41.30 g per dose. The drug should be boiled in 600 mL water until 300 mL, decocted once, and taken in a warm state after removing the dregs anytime. Through the analysis and study of the ancient books about Da Qinjiaotang, the paper clarified its historical evolution and confirmed its key information, so as to provide the ancient literature evidence for the research and development of the classical famous formula Daqinjiaotan and its better clinical application.

Objective:To explore whether antioxidant coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is involved in the regulation of renal injury induced by diquat poisoning (DQ) in rats through anti-oxidative stress and inhibition of interleukin (IL)-17 and nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB) signaling pathway, and whether this mechanism is related to alleviating mitochondrial dysfunction.Methods:The expressions of NF-κB inhibitory protein α (IKB-α), phosphorylated nuclear factor κB (P-NF-κB), JNK-related leucine zipper protein (JLP) and neuroprotective protein PTEN-induced putative kinase 1(PINK1) pathway proteins were detected in vivo and in vitro. Biochemical detection of renal injury markers and inflammatory cytokines: serum urea nitrogen (BUN), serum creatinine (Cr), Cystatin C (CysC), renal injury molecule 1, Malondialdehyde, Supemxidedismutase (SOD), neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), etc. Renal pathology HE staining was used to observe the degree of renal injury and pathological score under light microscope. The expression of reactive oxygen species (ROS) was detected by immunofluorescence. CCK-8 experiment was used to observe the level of cell proliferation after administration.Results:In vivo experiment, the indexes of renal function injury (Cr, BUN, CysC, NAGL, KIM-1) in plasma and kidney samples were significantly increased after 72 h of exposure in DQ group, and there were significant histopathological changes and pathological scores increased. In vitro experiment HK-2 cells were exposed to DQ for 48 h, and the cell viability decreased by half. After exposure to DQ, serum SOD decreased, MDA increased, and the immunofluorescence value of ROS in renal tissue increased. Intervention with CoQ10 can alleviate the pathological damage induced by DQ in rats, enhance the vitality of HK-2 cells, alleviate renal injury and reduce the level of oxidative stress. In addition, the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, TNF-α and IL-17) increased in DQ group in vivo, the expression of P-NF-κBp65 protein in DQ group in vivo and HK-2 cell DQ group in vitro increased significantly, the expression of mitochondrial dysfunction index PINK1 protein increased significantly, and the expression of JLP protein and IκB-α protein decreased significantly. After intervention with CoQ10, the expression of P-NF-κBp65 protein and PINK1 can be decreased, while the expression of IκB-α protein can be increased and the degradation of JLP could be alleviated, and CoQ10 could improve the mitochondrial dysfunction after DQ poisoning.Conclusions:CoQ10 can alleviate the kidney injury induced by DQ poisoning in rats, and its mechanism may be related to the fact that CoQ10 regulates the expression of IL-17 and NF-κB signaling pathway through anti-oxidative stress, and further improves mitochondrial dysfunction.

Heme, which exists widely in living organisms, is a porphyrin compound with a variety of physiological functions. Bacillus amyloliquefaciens is an important industrial strain with the characteristics of easy cultivation and strong ability for expression and secretion of proteins. In order to screen the optimal starting strain for heme synthesis, the laboratory preserved strains were screened with and without addition of 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA). There was no significant difference in the heme production of strains BA, BAΔ6 and BAΔ6ΔsigF. However, upon addition of ALA, the heme titer and specific heme production of strain BAΔ6ΔsigF were the highest, reaching 200.77 μmol/L and 615.70 μmol/(L·g DCW), respectively. Subsequently, the hemX gene (encoding the cytochrome assembly protein HemX) of strain BAΔ6ΔsigF was knocked out to explore its role in heme synthesis. It was found that the fermentation broth of the knockout strain turned red, while the growth was not significantly affected. The highest ALA concentration in flask fermentation reached 82.13 mg/L at 12 h, which was slightly higher than that of the control 75.11 mg/L. When ALA was not added, the heme titer and specific heme production were 1.99 times and 1.45 times that of the control, respectively. After adding ALA, the heme titer and specific heme production were 2.08 times and 1.72 times higher than that of the control, respectively. Real-time quantitative fluorescent PCR showed that the expressions of hemA, hemL, hemB, hemC, hemD, and hemQ genes at transcription level were up-regulated. We demonstrated that deletion of hemX gene can improve the production of heme, which may facilitate future development of heme-producing strain.

Objective To develop a reasonable plan of monitoring personal internal exposure dose. Methods This paper introduced the methods of monitoring the individual dose and direct measurement of three representative radionuclides. Results The maximum monitoring periods were determined according to the radionuclide retention characteristics and the reporting standards and requirements, which were m(1)/m(T/2) ≤ 3 and m(T/2)/m(T) ≤ 3. The lower detection limit of the instrument was derived from the monitoring periods and the annual radionuclide intake limit, which should be lower than the derived method detection limit of the corresponding radionuclide. Then the measuring duration of the instrument that meets the corresponding conditions was derived from the derived method detection limit of the instrument and the maximum monitoring period. Conclusion Our results provide a reference for the formulation of a plan of monitoring personal internal exposure dose.

ObjectiveTo explore the effect of Anmeidan on the sleep quality and serum levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), and irisin in the patients with chronic insomnia. MethodA multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study was carried out, including 480 patients with chronic insomnia (deficiency syndrome) in Wuhan (Hubei), Guangzhou (Guangdong), and Lanzhou (Gansu). They were randomized into an observation group and a control group at a ratio of 1∶1. The observation group was orally administered with Anmeidan granules at a dose of 11 g, 3 times per day, and the control group with Anmeidan simulant at a dose of 11 g, 3 times per day, Both groups of patients received sleep education after enrollment. After 4 weeks of medication, the Athens insomnia scale (AIS) scores, Spiegel scale scores, and serum levels of BDNF, GFAP, and irisin were compared between the two groups as well as between before and after treatment. ResultA total of 480 adult patients with chronic insomnia were enrolled in this study, with 64 patients falled off. Finally, the 415 patients were included in the analysis, including 213 patients in the observation group and 202 patients in the control group. There was no difference in age or sex between the two groups of patients. Compared with before treatment, the treatment in both groups decreased the AIS and Spiegel scores (P<0.01). After treatment, the observation group had lower AIS and Spiegel scores than the control group (P<0.01). The treatment in the observation group slightly lowered the level of BDNF, elevated the level of irisin (P<0.05), and lowered the level of GFAP (P<0.05) in the serum. After treatment, the observation group showed higher level of irisin (P<0.05) and lower levels of BDNF and GFAP in the serum than the control group. ConclusionAnmeidan may improve the sleep quality of patients with chronic insomnia by elevating the irisin level and lowering the GFAP level in the serum.

Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is a painful and debilitating disease caused by impaired blood supply to the femoral head and cellular and tissue degeneration, leading to gradual destruction of the bone structure and progressive collapse of the femoral head. The main pathological mechanism of ONFH is the disruption of the balance between bone absorption and the reconstruction of new bone, resulting from microcirculation damage and decreased cellular tissue ability. This imbalance leads to biomechanical changes and accelerates the pathological progression of ONFH. In the early stages, clinical manifestations may not be obvious, mainly presenting as pain or discomfort in the hip or groin area, which can be relieved after rest. In the later stage of the disease, pain intensifies, and limb shortening, lower limb weakness, difficulty walking, or limping may occur. Currently, western medicine commonly uses osteogenic agents, anticoagulants, and artificial joint replacement for treatment, but there are also many issues such as prosthesis loosening and infection. Research has shown that traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) treatment of ONFH takes a holistic approach and employs multi-functional, multi-target, and multi-system Chinese medicine therapies, ensuring the safety and effectiveness of the treatment. The osteoprotegerin (OPG)/receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB (RANK)/RANK ligand (RANKL) signaling pathway plays a crucial role in maintaining the dynamic balance of bone remodeling. TCM treatments utilize this pathway to promote apoptosis of osteoclasts, reduce bone resorption, and accelerate bone formation, thereby playing an important role in the prevention and treatment of ONFH. This paper reviewed the role of OPG/RANK/RANKL signaling pathway and related cytokine expression in ONFH by reviewing relevant literature in China and abroad and research status of Chinese medicinal monomers, Chinese medicinal formulations, and combinations with physical therapy in increasing osteoblast secretion, promoting OPG expression, enhancing cytokine expression levels, and inhibiting osteoclast activity for the prevention and treatment of ONFH. This paper is expected to provide new ideas and directions for TCM in the prevention and treatment of ONFH.
