In this study, ultra-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry(UPLC-Q-TOF-MS~E) was used to analyze the plasma components of Danzhi Xiaoyao Formula after oral administration. Forty-nine plasma components were found in the serum of rats by comparing the compound extract, drug-containing serum, and blank serum. Components, such as 6-hydroxycoumarin, poricoic acid F, deoxoglabrolide, 30-norhederagenin, kanzonol R, 3',6'-di-O-galloylpaeoniflorin, 16α-hydroxytrametenolic acid, 16-deoxyporicoic acid B, 3-O-acetyl-16α-hydroxytrametenolic acid, and 16α,25-dihydroxydehydroeburiconic acid, were first found in rat serum. Behavioral tests, including the tail suspension test, novel object recognition test, and novelty-suppressed feeding test, were conducted for behavioral analysis. It was confirmed that this formula had therapeutic effects on perimenopausal depression. Furthermore, in combination with the network pharmacology method, 53 core targets including MAPK1, HRAS, AKT1, EGFR, and ESR1 were screened, and these targets participated in 165 signaling pathways, including PI3K-AKT, AMPK, VEGFA, MAPK, and HIF-1. In summary, the potential effects of Danzhi Xiaoyao Formula in treating perimenopausal depression are associated with mechanisms in accelerating inflammation repair, improving neuroplasticity, affecting neurotransmitters, regulating estrogen levels, and promoting new blood vessel formation.

AIM: To investigate the effect of the intravitreal injection of vascular endothelial growth factor-A165(VEGF-A165)on the scleral remodeling of guinea pigs with form-deprivation myopia(FDM).METHODS: A total of 120 tricolor guinea pigs, aged three weeks, were randomly divided into 6 groups, with 20 in each group. The blank group did not undergo any intervention. In the FDM group, only the FDM model was established. In the phosphate buffer saline(PBS)group, 2.5 μL of PBS was injected into the vitreous cavity before establishing the FDM model. In the 1ng group, 5ng group, and 10ng group, VEGF-A165 was injected into the vitreous cavity at concentrations of 1, 5 and 10ng, respectively, before the establishment of the FDM model. The FDM model was established by covering the right eyes of guinea pigs with translucent balloons for 14d. The diopter and axial length of the right eyes were measured before and after covering. After 14d, the content of dopamine(DA)in retina was measured by high performance liquid chromatography. Additionally, the mRNA and protein expression levels of matrix metalloproteinase-2(MMP-2), tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase-2(TIMP-2), transforming growth factor(TGF)-β1, TGF-β2 and α-smooth muscle actin(α-SMA)in sclera were detected by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR)and Western blot.RESULTS: Before covering, there were no significant differences in the diopter and axial length of the right eyes of guinea pigs in all groups(P>0.05). After 14d of modeling, when compared with the blank group, FDM group showed an increase in the degree of myopia in the right eye, a prolongation of the axial length, a decrease in the content of DA in the retina, and an increase in the expression of MMP-2, TGF-β2 and α-SMA in the sclera. Conversely, the expression of TIMP-2 and TGF-β1 were decreased(P<0.01). However, in comparison to the FDM group, the degree of myopia in the 1ng, 5ng, and 10ng groups of guinea pigs decreased, the growth trend of axial length slowed, the content of DA in the retina increased, and the expression of MMP-2, TGF-β2 and α-SMA in the sclera decreased. Furthermore, the expression of TIMP-2 and TGF-β1 in the sclera increased(P<0.01). As the concentration of intravitreal injection of VEGF-A165 increased, the degree of myopia in the right eye of guinea pigs gradually increased, and the axial length gradually prolonged. The content of DA in the retina gradually decreased, the expression of MMP-2, TGF-β2, and α-SMA in the sclera gradually increased, while the expression of TIMP-2 and TGF-β1 decreased gradually.CONCLUSION: Intravitreal injection of VEGF-A165 can increase the content of DA in the retina of FDM guinea pigs, affect the expression of MMP-2, TIMP-2, TGF-β1, TGF-β2 and α-SMA in the sclera, and inhibit scleral remodeling of guinea pigs. Notably, the VEGF-A165 at the concentration of 1ng showed the most significant efficacy.

OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the in vivo intervention and relative mechanism of Genistein (GEN) on tumor-associated inflammatory and tumor thrombophilia in lymphoma-bearing mice.
METHODS:
Forty female Balb/c mice aged 5-6 weeks were injected with murine-derived Pro B-cell lymphoma cell line 38B9 to establish a lymphoma mouse model, which was randomly divided into control group, tumor-bearing group, GEN drug intervention group and cyclophosphamide (CTX)drug intervention group. Histopathologic was used to evaluate the tumorigenesis. Tumor formation was observed, and tumor tissues were collected of HE and immunohistochemical staining. ELISA and flow cytometry were used to detect the expression of inflammatory factors and the changes of thrombus indices in plasma after intervention of GEN and Cyclophosphamide (CTX) respectively. Immunohistochemistry method was used to detect the expression of CD19 in tomor tissues of tummor bearing mice.
RESULTS:
After 14 days of tumor bearing, the mice were tumorigenic. The lymphoma cells were diffusely distributed in the tumor tissue and the expression of CD19 in the tumor tissue was positive. The inflammatory factors such as IL-6, NETs and CLEC-2, and thrombotic indices such as TF, FIB and D-D in lymphoma-bearing mice were significantly higher than those before tumor-injection and lower than those after drug-intervention (all P<0.05). The levels of CLEC-2 and D-D in GEN group were significantly lower than those in CTX group (P<0.05).
CONCLUSION
Tumor-associated inflammation and thrombophilia exist in lymphoma-bearing mice. GEN shows better anti-inflammatory and anti-thrombotic effects compared with CTX by interfering with tumor inflammatory factors.

OBJECTIVE:
To determine whether salvianolic acid B (Sal B) exerts protective effects on diabetic peripheral neuropathy by attenuating apoptosis and pyroptosis.
METHODS:
RSC96 cells were primarily cultured with DMEM (5.6 mmol/L glucose), hyperglycemia (HG, 125 mmol/L glucose) and Sal B (0.1, 1, and 10 µ mol/L). Cells proliferation was measured by 3-(4, 5-cimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2, 5-dilphenyltetrazolium bromide assay. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and apoptosis rate were detected by flow cytometry analysis. Western blot was performed to analyze the expressions of poly ADP-ribose polymerase (PARP), cleaved-caspase 3, cleaved-caspase 9, Bcl-2, Bax, NLRP3, ASC, and interleukin (IL)-1β.
RESULTS:
Treatment with HG at a concentration of 125 mmol/L attenuated cellular proliferation, while Sal B alleviated this injury (P<0.05). In addition, Sal B inhibited HG-induced ROS production and apoptosis rate (P<0.05). Furthermore, treatment with Sal B down-regulated HG-induced PARP, cleaved-caspase 3, cleaved-caspase 9, Bax, NLRP3, ASC, and IL-1β expression, but mitigated HG-mediated down-regulation of Bcl-2 expression (P<0.05).
CONCLUSION
Sal B may protect RSC96 cells against HG-induced cellular injury via the inhibition of apoptosis and pyroptosis activated by ROS.

Two cardenolide glycosides, corotoxigenin 3-O-[β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→4)-6-deoxy-β-D-glucopyranoside] (1) and coroglaucigenin 3-O-[β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→4)-6-deoxy-β-D-glucopyranoside] (2), were isolated from the seed fairs of Asclepias curassavica. The structures of 1-2 were determined based on the combination of the analysis of their MS, NMR spectroscopic data and acid hydrolysis. The inhibitory effects of compounds 1 and 2 on human colorectal carcinoma cells (HCT116), non-small cell lung carcinoma cells (A549) and hepatic cancer cells (SMMC-7721) were evaluated. The results showed that both compounds 1 and 2 significantly inhibited the viability, proliferation, and migration of A549, HCT116 and SMMC-7721 cells, suggesting that compounds 1 and 2 can be applied in the treatment of lung, colon and liver cancers in clinical practice. This study may not only provide a scientific basis for clarifying the active ingredients in A. curassavica, but also help to understand its antitumor activity, which can promote the application of A. curassavica in clinical treatment of various cancers.

ObjectivesThis study aims to use accelerometer to objectively evaluate daily physical activity (PA) and steps of single pregnant women, and preliminarily explore the threshold of daily steps in line with the recommended PA during pregnancy, so as to provide PA guidance for pregnant women. MethodsWomen with singleton pregnancies who had prenatal examination in the the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from April 2018 to September 2019 continuously wore an accelerometer for 7 days for three times to measure daily PA. A total of 178 cases were included in this study with the average age 30.0 ± 3.0 years. Data were downloaded by supporting software, and the relationship between daily steps and PA (total PA, light PA and moderate PA) were analyzed by linear correlation analysis. Linear regression analysis and receiver operator characteristic curve (ROC) analysis were both used to explore the threshold steps corresponding to the physical activity recommendation. ResultsThere was no difference in daily total PA, light PA and sedentary behavior time during the three trimesters (P > 0.05). But the moderate PA decreased with the pregnancy stages increased (25.1±16.1 vs. 23.6±16.5 vs. 21.5±16.1,min/d, P = 0.001). There was a positive correlation between total PA and daily steps during the three trimesters (The correlation coefficients r of the early pregnancy, mid pregnancy and late pregnancy were 0.87, 0.83 and 0.86, respectively, P < 0.001); and there was a positive correlation with light PA (r of the three trimesters were 0.79, 0.72 and 0.77, respectively, P < 0.001). The relationship between moderate PA and daily steps during the three trimesters also had similar results (r of the three trimesters were 0.62, 0.53 and 0.55, respectively, P < 0.001). The thresholds of daily steps to reach the recommended PA during pregnancy in the early, mid and late pregnancy were 10 925 steps, 11 372 steps and 11 170 steps, respectively. According to ROC analysis, the thresholds of daily steps in the three trimesters were 10 856 steps, 10 480 steps and 9 819 steps, respectively, and the areas under the curve were 0.81, 0.73 and 0.74, respectively (P < 0.001). ConclusionsThe daily physical activity is mainly walking during pregnancy. Based on accelerometer evaluation, daily walking 9 800 to 11 500 steps could reach the physical activity recommendation during pregnancy.

Objective: To explore the types and clinical characteristics of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) based on artificial intelligence and whole-slide imaging (WSI), and to explore the consistency of the diagnostic criteria of the Japanese epidemiological survey of refractory eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis (JESREC) in Chinese CRSwNP patients. Methods: The data of 136 patients with CRSwNP (101 males and 35 females, aging 14 to 70 years) who underwent endoscopic sinus surgery from 2018 to 2019 in the Department of Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, the Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University were analysed retrospectively. The preoperative clinical characteristics of patients were collected, such as visual analogue scale (VAS) of nasal symptoms, peripheral blood inflammatory cell count, total immunoglobulin E (IgE), Lund-Kennedy score and Lund-Mackay score. The proportion of inflammatory cells such as eosinophils, lymphocytes, plasma cells and neutrophils were calculated on the WSI of each patient through artificial intelligence chronic rhinosinusitis evaluation platform 2.0 (AICEP 2.0), and the specific type of nasal polyps was then obtained as eosinophilic CRSwNP (eCRSwNP) or non-eosinophilic CRSwNP (non-eCRSwNP). In addition, the JESREC diagnostic criteria was used to classify the nasal polyps, and the classification results were compared with the current gold standard for nasal polyps diagnosis (pathological diagnosis based on WSI). The accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of the diagnostic criteria of JESREC were evaluated. The data were expressed in M (Q1, Q3) and statistically analyzed by SPSS 17.0. Results: There was no significant difference between eCRSwNP and non-eCRSwNP in age distribution, gender, time of onset, total VAS score, Lund-Kennedy score or Lund-Mackay score. However, there was a significant difference in the ratio of nasal polyp inflammatory cells (eosinophils 40.5% (22.8%, 54.7%) vs 2.5% (1.0%, 5.3%), neutrophils 0.3% (0.1%, 0.7%) vs 1.3% (0.5%, 3.6%), lymphocytes 49.9% (39.3%, 65.9%) vs 82.0% (72.8%, 87.5%), plasma cells 5.1% (3.6%, 10.5%) vs 13.0% (7.4%, 16.3%), χ2 value was 9.91, 4.66, 8.28, 5.06, respectively, all P<0.05). In addition, eCRSwNP had a significantly higher level of proportion of allergic symptoms (nasal itching and sneezing), asthma, peripheral blood eosinophil and total IgE (all P<0.05). The overall accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of the JESREC diagnostic criteria was 74.3%, 81.3% and 64.3%, respectively. Conclusions: The eCRSwNP based on artificial intelligence and WSI has significant high level of allergic symptoms, asthma, peripheral blood eosinophils and total IgE, and the percentages of inflammatory cells in nasal polyps are different from that of non-eCRSwNP. The JESREC diagnostic criteria has good consistency in our research.
