Tenosynovial giant cell tumor (TGCT) is a rare mesenchymal tumor that clinically presents as nodular-type or diffuse-type (D-TGCT). D-TGCT is more aggressive, has a higher surgical recurrence rate, and can potentially lead to severe joint destruction. The traditional treatment is primarily through surgical intervention. Recent advancements in understanding the molecular mechanisms of the disease and the development of new drugs have significantly changed TGCT treatment strategies. Drug therapy and active surveillance have become important treatment options for unresectable or high-recurrence-risk TGCT. Imaging examinations and patient-reported outcome tools play a crucial role in evaluating efficacy and guiding treatment decisions. Comprehensive management by a multidisciplinary team and utilizing individualized treatment plans can significantly improve the quality of life and treatment outcomes of patients. Future research should explore the molecular mechanisms of TGCT, enhance multidisciplinary collaboration, and emphasize long-term management to improve treatment efficacy and patient prognosis.

The analysis presented here is based on the blood components of Guanxin Qiwei tablets, the key anti-atherosclerosis pathway of Guanxin Qiwei tablets was screened by network pharmacology, and the anti-atherosclerosis mechanism of Guanxin Qiwei tablets was clarified and verified by cell experiments. HPLC-Q-Exactive-MS/MS technique was used to analyze the components of Guanxin Qiwei tablets into blood, to determine the precise mass charge ratio of the compounds, and to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the components by using secondary mass spectrometry fragments and literature comparison. Finally, a total of 42 components of Guanxin Qiwei tablets into blood were identified. To better understand the interactions, we employed the Swiss Target Prediction database to predict the associated targets. Atherosclerosis (AS) disease targets were searched in disease databases Genecard, OMIM and Disgent, and 181 intersection targets of disease targets and component targets were obtained by Venny 2.1.0 software. Protein interactions were analyzed by String database. The 32 core targets were selected by Cytscape software. Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment analysis and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis were performed in DAVID database. It was found that the anti-atherosclerosis pathways of Guanxin Qiwei tablets mainly include lipid metabolism and atherosclerosis and AGE-RAGE signaling pathway in diabetic complications and other signal pathways. The core targets and the core compounds were interlinked, and it was found that cryptotanshinone and tanshinone ⅡA in Guanxin Qiwei tablets were well bound to TNF, PPARγ, AKT1, PTG2 and other targets. The lipid metabolism and atherosclerotic pathway was verified using human hl-7702 hepatocytes. This study preliminarily identified the potential pharmacodynamic components of Guanxin Qiwei tablets in the treatment of AS diseases and predicted their pathways of action, and verified the relationship between regulating lipid metabolism and atherosclerosis of Guanxin Qiwei tablets in vitro, providing a reference for the further study of the pharmacodynamic material basis and mechanism of action of this prescription. This experiment was approved by the Medical Ethics Committee of Inner Mongolia Medical University (No. YKD202401262).

To summarize the clinical experience of Professor WANG Jie in treating palpitation using the method of tonifying the kidneys and invigorating blood. It is believed that kidney yang deficiency and heart vessel stasis are the key pathogenesis of palpitation， and it is advocated to treat palpitation by tonifying the kidney and invigorating the blood. Meanwhile，the methods of draining water， dissolving phlegm， and fortifying the spleen to supplement the blood should be applied. For palpitation with kidney yang deficiency and heart vessel stasis with upward water， the treatment could use self-prescribed Bushen Huoxue Lishui Formula （补肾活血利水方）； for palpitation with phlegm obstruction in blood vessel， the treatment could use self-prescribed Bushen Huoxue Huatan Formula （补肾活血化痰方）； for palpitation with spleen yang deficiency， the treatment could use self-prescribed Bushen Huoxue Jianpi Formula （补肾活血健脾方）.

Aim To explore the role of SIRT1/Nrf2 / HO-1 in alleviating the cognitive function impairment by sevoflurane treatment in a mouse model of postoperative cerebral reperfusion. Methods C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into five groups: sham operation group, hemorrhagic shock reperfusion group, sevoflurane postconditioning group, sevoflurane postcondition-ing + SIRT1 inhibitor group and sevoflurane postconditioning + Nrf2 inhibitor group. Mice were subjected to Morris water maze test after cerebral ischemia reperfusion. The ATP, superoxide dismutase (SOD), ROS and MDA contents in tissue of mice were detected. SIRT1, Nrf2 and HO-1 proteins in tissue were detected by Western blot. Results After hemorrhagic shock, the learning and memory ability of mice was reduced.ATP and SOD concentration in hippocampus was reduced , MDA and ROS concentration increased, and the SIRT, Nrf2 and HO-1 concentration was reduced. Sevoflurane improved the cognitive dysfunction and oxi-dative damage in postoperative mice, and the neuro-protective effect of sevoflurane on hemorrhagic shock and resuscitation mice was weakened followed with SIRT1 and Nrf2 inhibitors. Conclusion Sevoflurane probably alleviates the oxidative reaction damage and cognitive impairment caused by cerebral reperfusion in mice through SIRT1/Nrf2/H0-1 pathway.

ObjectiveTo observe the microbial changes in Wistar rats with liver injury caused by the Dictamni Cortex-Flavescens Sophora by high-throughput sequencing technology and investigate the potential mechanism of liver injury caused by the Dictamni Cortex-Flavescens Sophora. MethodFemale Wistar rats were randomly divided into four groups： normal group， as well as low-dose， medium-dose， and high-dose groups of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM）. The rats were gavaged with the Dictamni Cortex-Flavescens Sophora in different doses （4.125， 8.25， 16.5 g·kg^-1 of raw drug respectively） for 28 days， and the general condition was recorded. The liver-body weight ratio was calculated， and the biochemical indexes of serum were observed. The Hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining was used to observe pathological changes in the liver， and 16S rDNA high-throughput sequencing was utilized to detect fecal microbial changes in rats. ResultCompared with the normal group， Dictamni Cortex-Flavescens Sophora increased the liver weights and liver-body weight ratios of Wistar rats. The difference in liver weight between the medium-dose and high-dose groups of TCM was statistically significant （P<0.05）， and the liver-body weight ratios of the low-dose， medium-dose， and high-dose groups of TCM were all statistically significant （P<0.05）. Compared with the normal group， serum albumin and cholesterol levels increased in the medium-dose and high-dose groups of TCM （P<0.05）. The histopathology of the liver in the medium-dose and high-dose groups of TCM showed tiny vacuole-like changes. Compared with the normal group， there were obvious intestinal flora disorders after administration of Dictamni Cortex-Flavescens Sophora， and alpha diversity increased in the medium-dose and high-dose groups of TCM. The principal coordinates analysis showed that species increasingly deviated from the normal group as the administered dose increased. Compared with the normal group， the proportion of Firmicutes and Bacteroidota decreased after the drug administration， and the genus level of Parasutterella， Romboutsia， Turicibacter， Allobaculum， and Dubosiella increased. The genus level of Lachnospiraceae_NK4A136_group， Blautia， Erysipelatoclostridium， Muribaculum， and Ruminococcus_gnavus_group decreased. The correlation analysis showed that Parasutterella， Romboutsia， Turicibacter， Allobaculum， and Dubosiella were positively correlated with serum cholesterol and liver-body weight ratio， and lanchnospiraceae_NK4A136_group， Blautia， Muribaculum， Erysipelatoclostridium， and Ruminococcus_gnavus_group were negatively associated with serum cholesterol and liver-body weight ratio. ConclusionThe liver injury caused by Dictamni Cortex-Flavescens Sophora is manifested as a lipid metabolism disorder， and the mechanism is related to the increase in lipid metabolism-related microorganisms.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the potential of low-frequency, low-power ultrasound to enhance the transdermal absorption and efficacy of ketoprofen gel. METHODS Ketoprofen gel was used as a model drug to compare the in vitro transdermal permeation of ultrasound treated group and untreated group. Additionally, a rat model of collagen-induced inflammation provided a basis for evaluating pharmacodynamic differences. Pharmacokinetic studies further elucidated the effects of ultrasound on ketoprofen gel's penetration process. RESULTS Ultrasound treatment enhanced the cumulative transdermal permeation of ketoprofen gel by 3.5-fold over 24 hours compared to untreated. Significant pharmacokinetic improvements in AUC0-t from (4289.02±763.58)ng·h·mL−1 to (11301.10±3386.30)ng·h·mL−1 and a reduction in Tmax from (6.0±1.4)h to (3.0±2.0)h. Ultrasound notably improved the gel's anti-inflammatory effects in the rat model, effectively and rapidly reducing inflammation-induced swelling. CONCLUSION Low-frequency, low-power ultrasound can significantly improve the amount and rate of transdermal absorption of ketoprofen gel and enhance its pharmacological potency, from the aspects of skin permeation tests, pharmacodynamic evaluation, and pharmacokinetic studies, which is an effective penetration enhancer for transdermal administration of ketoprofen gel.
