ObjectiveTo unveil the mechanism of Jianpi Huogu prescription （JPHGP） in ameliorating the dyslipidemia of steroid-induced osteonecrosis of the femur head （SONFH） by oxylipidomics combined with transcriptomics. MethodsSixty SD rats were assigned into normal， model， low-， medium-， and high-dose （2.5， 5， 10 g·kg^-1， respectively） JPHGP， and Jiangushengwan （1.53 g·kg^-1） groups. Lipopolysaccharide was injected into the tail vein at a dose of 20 μg·kg^-1 on days 1 and 2， and methylprednisolone sodium succinate was injected at a dose of 40 mg·kg^-1 into the buttock muscle on days 3 to 5. The normal group received an equal volume of normal saline. Drug administration by gavage began 4 weeks after the last injection， and samples were taken after administration for 8 weeks. Hematoxylin-eosin staining was conducted to reveal the histopathological changes of the femoral head， and the number of adipocytes， the rate of empty bone lacunae， and the trabecular area were calculated. Micro-computed tomography was used for revealing the histological and histomorphometrical changes of the femoral head. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was employed to measure the serum levels of triglyceride （TG）， total cholesterol （TC）， low-density lipoprotein （LDL）， high-density lipoprotein （HDL）， apolipoprotein A1 （ApoA1）， and apolipoprotein B （ApoB）. At the same time， the femoral head was collected for oxylipidomic and transcriptomic detection. The differential metabolites and differential genes were enriched and analyzed， and the target genes regulating lipid metabolism were predicted. The predicted target proteins were further verified by molecular docking， immunohistochemistry， and Western blot. ResultsCompared with the normal group， the model group showcased thinning of the femoral head， trabecular fracture， karyopyknosis， subchondral cystic degeneration， increases in the number of adipocytes and the rate of empty bone lacunae （P<0.01）， a reduction in the trabecular area （P<0.01）， decreases in BMD， Tb.Th， Tb.N， and BV/TV， and increases in Tb.Sp and BS/BV （P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， the JPHGP groups showed no obvious thinning of the femoral head or subchondroidal cystic degeneration. The high- and medium-dose JPHGP groups presented declines in the number of adipocytes and the rate of empty bone lacunae， an increase in the trabecular area （P<0.05， P<0.01）， rises in BMD， Tb.Th， Tb.N， and BV/TV， and decreases in Tb.Sp and BS/BV （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Compared with the normal group， the model group showcased raised serum levels of TG， TC， LDL， and ApoB and lowered serum levels of HDL and ApoA1 （P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， the JPHGP groups had lowered serum levels of TG， TC， LDL， and ApoB （P<0.05， P<0.01） and a risen serum level of ApoA1 （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Moreover， the serum level of HDL in the high-dose JPHGP group increased （P<0.01）. A total of 19 different metabolites of disease set and drug set were screened out by oxylipidomics of the femoral head， and 119 core genes with restored expression were detected by transcriptomics. The enriched pathways were mainly concentrated in inflammation， lipids， apoptosis， and osteoclast differentiation. Molecular docking， immunohistochemistry， and Western blot results showed that compared with the normal group， the model group displayed increased content of 5-lipoxygenase （5-LO） and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ （PPARγ） in the femoral head （P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， medium- and high-dose JPHGP reduced the content of 5-LO and PPARγ （P<0.05， P<0.01）. ConclusionJPHGP can restore the levels of oxidized lipid metabolites by regulating the 5-LO-PPARγ axis to treat SONFH in rats. Relevant studies provide experimental evidence for the efficacy mechanism of JPHGP in the treatment of SONFH.

Objective To identify the N6-methyladenosine (m6A)-related characteristic genes analyzed by gene clustering and immune cell infiltration in myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MI/RI) after cardiopulmonary bypass through machine learning. Methods The differential genes associated with m6A methylation were screened by the dataset GSE132176 in GEO, the samples of the dataset were clustered based on the differential gene expression profile, and the Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analysis of the differential genes of the m6A cluster after clustering were performed to determine the gene function of the m6A cluster. R software was used to determine the better models in machine learning of support vector machine (SVM) model and random forest (RF) model, which were used to screen m6A-related characteristic genes in MI/RI, and construct characteristic gene nomogram to predict the incidence of disease. R software was used to analyze the correlation between characteristic genes and immune cells, and the online website was used to build a characteristic gene regulatory network. Results In this dataset, a total of 5 m6A-related differential genes were screened, and the gene expression profiles were divided into two clusters for cluster analysis. The enrichment analysis of m6A clusters showed that these genes were mainly involved in regulating monocytes differentiation, response to lipopolysaccharides, response to bacteria-derived molecules, cellular response to decreased oxygen levels, DNA transcription factor binding, DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase Ⅱ specificity, NOD-like receptor signaling pathway, fluid shear stress and atherosclerosis, tumor necrosis factor signaling pathway, interleukin-17 signaling pathway. The RF model was determined by R software as the better model, which determined that METTL3, YTHDF1, RBM15B and METTL14 were characteristic genes of MI/RI, and mast cells, type 1 helper lymphocytes (Th1), type 17 helper lymphocytes (Th17), and macrophages were found to be associated with MI/RI after cardiopulmonary bypass in immune cell infiltration. Conclusion The four characteristic genes METTL3, YTHDF1, RBM15B and METTL14 are obtained by machine learning, while cluster analysis and immune cell infiltration analysis can better reveal the pathophysiological process of MI/RI.

ObjectiveTo identify the pharmacodynamic material basis of Ruyi Zhenbaowan in relieving neuropathic pain by integrating the calculation of biological network proximity and pharmacokinetic characterization. MethodThe interaction network of "drug candidate target-related gene of disease" was constructed by Cytoscape 3.8.2， and the average shortest path value of each drug putative target acting on neuropathic pain-related genes in this network was calculated by Pesca 3.8.0 tool so as to evaluate the network proximity between them， and screen prescription candidate targets with strong intervention efficiency and their corresponding potential effect components. After that， plasma and cerebrospinal fluid samples were collected from rats after administration of Ruyi Zhenbaowan at set time points， and the contents of potential effect components in samples was quantified by ultra performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-ion trap mass spectrometry（UPLC-Q-TRAP/MS）， and drug concentration-time curves were plotted， then the pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated by DAS 2.1.1.

Objective To establish the animal model of comorbidity of knee osteoarthritis(KOA)and hypertension with pattern of liver and kidney deficiency and evaluate its characteristics of comorbidity and pattern.Methods Wistar-Kyoto(WKY)rats and spontaneously hypertensive rats(SHR)were assigned to the WKY control group(control group),hypertension combined with KOA sham-operation group(sham-operation group),hypertension combined with KOA group(model group),hypertension combined with KOA and liver-kidney deficiency pattern group(LKD group).The animal model of KOA combined with hypertension was prepared by anterior cruciate ligament transection(ACLT)in spontaneously hypertensive rats.ACLT combined with intramuscular injection of hydrocortisone was performed to prepare an animal model of KOA with liver-kidney deficiency(LKD)pattern type,combined with hypertension.Then,the related indexes of LKD syndrome were detected in turn,including the contents of thyroid stimulating hormone(TSH),testosterone(T),corticosterone(CORT),adrenocorticotropic hormone(ACTH)in serum,and enzyme activities of alanine transaminase(ALT),aspartate transaminase(AST),and alkaline phosphatase(ALP)in serum,the mass ratio of liver,kidney,spleen,thymus to the brain,body weight,anal temperature,activity situation,and emotion.Systolic blood pressure,diastolic blood pressure,and other blood pressure-related indices were also detected.The levels of serum tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)and interleukin-1β(IL-1β),plantar mechanical pain sensitivity threshold,weight difference score of both hind limbs,hind limb joint swelling,and quadruped gait parameters were also measured.Furthermore,hematoxylin-eosin,safranine-fast green,and Masson staining were performed to observe pathological changes,cartilage degeneration,and bone destruction of the knee joint,and the microstructure parameters of the tibia were detected by Micro-CT imaging.Results Compared to the model group,the contents of serum TSH,ACTH,T,CORT and the mass ratio of the kidney,spleen,and thymus to the brain in the LKD group decreased(P<0.05).Compared to the control group,the systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure of the other three groups increased significantly(P<0.05).Compared to the sham-operation group,serum TNF-α and IL-1β levels increased,plantar mechanical pain threshold decreased,weight difference score of both hind limbs and joint swelling of the affected limb increased(P<0.05),and gait parameters(e.g.,gait length and standing time of the affected limbs)became abnormal in the model and LKD groups.Simultaneously,the cartilage surface defect of the rat knee joint was severe,the arrangement of the surface chondrocytes was altered,the cartilage layer became thinner,the muscle fibers increased,and the cartilage ossification was severe.Furthermore,the relative volume,thickness,and number of trabeculae of the knee joint decreased significantly(P<0.05).Conclusion The rat model established in this study is consistent with the clinical characteristics of integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine in patients with comorbidities of hypertension and KOA with liver and kidney deficiency pattern.This rat model can characterize the typical symptoms of liver and kidney deficiency pattern.It has typical pathological changes in knee cartilage and subchondral bone tissues and can maintain a stable range of high systolic and diastolic blood pressure.It also explore the scientific connotation of simultaneous treatment of different diseases in traditional Chinese medicine,revealing the therapeutic mechanism and developing new drugs.

Objective This study systematically evaluated the clinical efficacy of Shangke Jiegu tablet in the treatment of fracture,and explored the mechanism of action of Shangke Jiegu tablet and the compatibility of each efficacy group from the"Disease-Symptom-Formula"perspective.Methods Clinical research literatures on the use of Shangke Jiegu tablet for fracture intervention were retrieved from Chinese databases(CNKI,Wanfang Database,VIP database)and English databases(PubMed,Cochrane Library,EMbase),covering the period from the inception of the databases to January 2024.Risk assessment tools were used to evaluate the literature's quality,and the data were extracted and analyzed using Stata 16.0 software.Gene sets associated with fracture symptoms were identified through the TCMIP platform(version 2.0).Differential gene expression related to fractures was obtained from the GEO database.Chemical composition and candidate target profiles of the 12 herbs in Shangke Jiegu tablets were collected from TCMIP v 2.0.An interaction network between fracture-related genes and drug candidate targets was established,and core network targets were screened based on topological features,with functional enrichment analysis performed.Results A total of 14 articles were incorporated into the Meta-analysis,encompassing a total sample size of 1 293 cases,indicating an overall response rate of Shangke Jiegu tablets in fracture therapy(RR=1.24,95%CI:1.18-1.31,P<0.001).The"Disease-Symptom-Formula"association network analysis indicated that the pathways related to the putative targets of Shangke Jiegu tablet were primarily involved in bone healing,nerve and blood system regulation,and immune-inflammation regulation.Different efficacy groups within the prescriptions showed varying emphases on these roles.Conclusions Shangke Jiegu tablet may facilitate fracture healing by regulating blood and nervous systems,correcting immune-inflammatory imbalances,and maintaining bone and energy metabolism.The comprehensive effects include the dissipation of blood stasis,the promotion of blood circulation,the alleviation of swelling and pain,the regeneration of muscles and bones,and the clearance of heat and detoxification.These findings support the clinical advantages and positioning of Shangke Jiegu tablet.

ObjectiveTo systematically evaluate the safety of Chinese medicines combined with Tripterygium wilfordii polyglycoside tablets/Tripterygium wilfordii tablets （TWPT/TWT） in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis （RA）， and to explore the network regulatory mechanisms of enhancing efficacy and reducing toxicity of commonly used combination regimes. MethodThe literature involving the adverse reactions of TWPT/TWT in treating RA was searched and collected from three Chinese databases （CNKI， Wanfang Data， VIP） and three English databases （PubMed， Cochrane Library， Embase） from the inception of the databases to July 2021. All studies were assessed by the Cochrane risk of bias tool， and the data were extracted and analyzed by Stata 15.0. Furthermore， Integrative Pharmacology-based Research Platform of Traditional Chinese Medicine 2.0 （TCMIP v2.0，http：//www.tcmip.cn/） was used to construct a "drug target-symptom gene of efficacy and toxicity" interaction network， to explore the underlying network regulatory mechanisms of enhancing efficacy and reducing toxicity of common T. wilfordii preparation combinations. ResultA total of 2 132 articles on Chinese medicines combined with TWPT/TWT in the treatment of RA were retrieved， and 18 of them were finally included. The systematic review showed that the adverse reactions of TWPT/TWT against RA mainly occurred in the digestive system， blood system， and reproductive system， of which digestive system had the highest incidence of damages. However， the combination with Chinese medicines effectively alleviated the adverse reactions caused by TWPT/TWT ［RR （95% CI）=0.45 （0.30， 0.66）， P<0.01］. In addition， the subgroup analysis indicated that the age of RA patients， course of disease， combination regimen， medication dosage and duration of treatment all affected the occurrence of adverse reactions of TWPT/TWT. It was found in clinical studies that total glucosides of paeony （TGP） and TWPT/TWT was most widely combined， and the effect of TGP in reducing TWPT/TWT-induced hepatotoxicity was also more significant than that of other Chinese medicines. Moreover， taking this combination regime as an example， this paper explored the "efficacy-toxicity" association mechanisms of TGP-TWPT/TWT against RA. The "drug target-symptom gene of efficacy and toxicity" interaction network revealed that the core network targets of TGP-TWPT/TWT enhanced efficacy and reduced toxicity mainly through regulating immunity-inflammation-related pathways， metabolic pathways and cell signal transduction. Especially， interleukin-4 （IL-4） and interleukin-13 （IL-13）， which were involved in the "immunity-inflammation" module， were the common targets of TGP-TWPT/TWT to enhance efficacy and reduce toxicity. The endogenous sterols， bile acids and bile salts， insulin secretion and other metabolic pathways in the "body metabolism" module were closely associated with the mechanisms of TWPT/TWT inducing hepatotoxicity and TGP reducing hepatotoxicity. While cell function regulation pathways， such as stem cell factor （SCF）/tyrosine kinase receptor （KIT） signaling pathway and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase （PI3K）/protein kinase B （Akt）signaling pathway were involved in both anti-RA effects and hepatotoxicity of TWPT/TWT. ConclusionClinical application of suitable Chinese medicines combined with TWPT/TWT in the treatment of RA can effectively improve the rheumatism and reduce the adverse reactions of TWPT/TWT， and TGP-TWPT/TWT has the most significant toxicity-reducing effect. Further biological network-based investigation indicates that the toxicity-reducing mechanism of TGP-TWPT/TWT may be related to the regulation of interleukin signaling pathway and bile acid metabolism pathway， and the synergistic efficacy-enhancing effect of the combination may be achieved by acting on interleukin signaling pathway and cell function regulation pathway.

ObjectiveTo explore the "efficacy-toxicity" association mechanisms of Tripterygium wilfordii polyglycoside tablets （TWPT） by establishing and analyzing an interaction network associated with the clinical efficacy of TWPT in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis （RA） and TWPT-induced liver injury. MethodOn the basis of the TWPT efficacy-related gene expression profile and TWPT-induced liver injury-related protein expression profile which were both obtained from our clinical cohorts， the "efficacy-toxicity" association network of TWPT was constructed， and the key network targets were identified by calculating the topological values of the nodes， including the degree， closeness and betweenness. After that， the biological functions and pathways of the key network targets were investigated by enrichment analysis. ResultA total of 119 differentially expressed genes （58 up-regulated and 61 down-regulated） between RA patients with TWPT well and weak response were identified as TWPT efficacy-related genes by clinical transcriptomics， and 49 differentially expressed proteins （36 up-regulated and 13 down-regulated） were demonstrated to be TWPT-induced liver injury-related proteins by clinical proteomics. In addition， the clinical symptom enrichment analysis indicated that the TWPT efficacy-related genes were significantly associated with various clinical symptoms of arthralgia in traditional Chinese medicine and clinical phenotypes of modern medicine， and most of the TWPT-induced liver injury-related proteins were involved in digestive system abnormalities. Therefore， the aforementioned multi-omics data represented the main clinical symptoms of TWPT treating RA and inducing liver injury. Mechanically， the "efficacy-toxicity" association network revealed that both TWPT efficacy-related genes and TWPT-induced liver injury-related core proteins were involved in the "immune-inflammatory" imbalance， especially playing an important role in neutrophil degranulation， complement cascade reaction， and immune-inflammatory response mediated by protein post-translational modification. Notably， the above genes and proteins were also enriched in various signaling pathways related to cell proliferation and cell cycle regulation， such as RAS and mitogen-activated protein kinase （MAPK） signaling pathway， and in several liver functional processes， such as glycogen metabolism and redox reaction. ConclusionThis study systematically explained the "efficacy-toxicity" association characteristics and molecular mechanisms of TWPT by applying a research strategy integrating clinical phenomics， transcriptomics and proteomics， laying a good data foundation for exploring the "efficacy enhancing and toxicity-reducing" mechanisms of TWPT.

BackgroundMental illness during pregnancy has become a major public health problem in China over the recent years， and depression is the most common psychological symptom during pregnancy. Current research efforts are directed towards the therapy on prenatal depression， whereas the construction of prediction model for prenatal depression risk has been little studied. ObjectiveTo construct a simple model for predicting the risk of prenatal depression， thus providing a valuable reference for the prevention of maternal depression during pregnancy. MethodsA total of 803 pregnant women attending three hospitals in Nanchong city were consecutively recruited from May 2021 to February 2022. A self-administered questionnaire was developed for the assessment of social demographic variables， obstetrical and general medical indexes and psychological status of all participants， and Self-rating Depression Scale （SDS） was utilized to screen for the presence of maternal depression. Subjects were randomly assigned into modelling group （n=635） and validation group （n=168） at the ratio of 8∶2 under simple random sampling with replacement. The candidate risk factors of maternal depression during pregnancy were screened using binary Logistic regression analysis， and the predictive model was constructed. Then the performance of the predictive model was validated using receiver operating characteristics （ROC） curve. Results① Lack of companionship （β=-0.692， OR=0.501， 95% CI： 0.289~0.868）， low mood during the last menstrual period （β=-1.510， OR=0.221， 95% CI： 0.074~0.656）， emotional stress during the last menstrual period （β=-1.082， OR=0.339， 95% CI： 0.135~0.853）， unsatisfactory relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law （β=-1.228， OR=0.293， 95% CI： 0.141~0.609）， and indifferent generally relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law （β=-0.831， OR=0.436， 95% CI： 0.260~0.730） were risk factors for prenatal depression in pregnant women （P<0.05 or 0.01）. ② Model for predicting the prenatal depression risk yielded an area under curve （AUC） of 0.698 （95% CI： 0.646~0.749）， the maximum Youden index was 0.357 in modelling group with the sensitivity and specificity was 0.606 and 0.751， and an AUC of 0.672 （95% CI： 0.576~0.767） and maximum Youden index of 0.263 in validation group with the sensitivity and specificity of 0.556 and 0.707. ConclusionThe simple model constructed in this study has good discriminant validity in predicting of the risk of prenatal depression. ［Funded by Nanchong Social Science Research Project of the 14th Five-Year Plan （number， NC21B165）］
