ObjectiveTo observe the clinical effect of modified Huanglian Wendantang on cardiovascular risk factors in patients with metabolic syndrome under the guidance of treating disease before its onset. MethodsA total of 82 patients with metabolic syndrome treated in the First Affiliated Hospital of Heilongjiang University of Chinese Medicine from July 2023 to July 2024 were selected and allocated into an observation group （41 cases） and a control group （41 cases） by the random number table method. The control group received routine treatment， and the observation group was treated with modified Huanglian Wendantang on the basis of routine treatment. Both groups were treated for 8 weeks. The therapeutic effects on TCM symptoms after treatment in the two groups were evaluated. The levels of obesity degree indicators， blood pressure indicators， glucose and lipid metabolism indicators， inflammatory factors， and vascular endothelial function indicators before and after treatment in the two groups were measured， and the treatment safety was evaluated. ResultsAfter treatment， the total response rate of TCM symptoms in the observation group was 97.56% （40/41）， which was higher than that （87.80%， 36/41） in the control group （χ²=5.205， P<0.05）. After treatment， both groups showed declines （P<0.05） in systolic blood pressure （SBD）， diastolic blood pressure （DBP）， triglyceride （TG）， total cholesterol （TC）， low density lipoprotein cholesterol （LDL-C）， fasting blood glucose， 2-hour postprandial blood glucose （2 h PG）， glycosylated hemoglobin （HbA1c）， fasting insulin （FINS）， Homeostatic Model Assessment for Insulin Resistance （HOMA-IR）， body mass index （BMI）， waist circumference （WC）， waist-to-hip ratio （WHR）， leptin （LEP）， interleukin-6 （IL-6）， tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α）， endothelin-1 （ET-1）， and inducible nitric oxide synthase （iNOS）. Moreover， the declines in the observation group were more obvious than those in the control group （P<0.05， P<0.01）. After treatment， both groups showed elevated levels of high density lipoprotein cholesterol （HDL-C）， adiponectin （ADP）， nitric oxide （NO）， and endothelial nitric oxide synthase （eNOS） （P<0.05）， and the above indexes in the observation group were higher than those in the control group （P<0.01）. ConclusionUnder the guidance of the thought of treating disease before its onset， modified Huanglian Wendantang was used to treat patients with metabolic syndrome. The decoction improved the clinical efficacy by ameliorating IR to improve insulin sensitivity， reducing inflammation， and protecting the vascular endothelial function. It inhibits cardiovascular risk factors without inducing adverse reactions， being worthy of clinical application and promotion.

Aim To anticipate the mechanism of zuka- mu granules (ZKMG) in the treatment of bronchial asthma, and to confirm the projected outcomes through in vivo tests via using network pharmacology and molecular docking technology. Methods The database was examined for ZKMG targets, active substances, and prospective targets for bronchial asthma. The protein protein interaction network diagram (PPI) and the medication component target network were created using ZKMG and the intersection targets of bronchial asthma. The Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomics (KEGG) and gene ontology (GO) were used for enrichment analysis, and network pharmacology findings were used for molecular docking, ovalbumin (OVA) intraperitoneal injection was used to create a bronchial asthma model, and in vivo tests were used to confirm how ZKMG affected bronchial asthma. Results There were 176 key targets for ZKMG's treatment of bronchial asthma, most of which involved biological processes like signal transduction, negative regulation of apoptotic processes, and angiogenesis. ZKMG contained 194 potentially active components, including quercetin, kaempferol, luteolin, and other important components. Via signaling pathways such TNF, vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA), cancer pathway, and MAPK, they had therapeutic effects on bronchial asthma. Conclusion Key components had strong binding activity with appropriate targets, according to molecular docking data. In vivo tests showed that ZKMG could reduce p-p38, p-ERKl/2, and p-I

ObjectiveTo investigate the induction of ferroptosis by polyphyllin Ⅱ （PPⅡ） in hepatocellular carcinoma HepG2 cells and its underlying mechanism. MethodThe effect of PPⅡ （0， 1.5， 3.0， 4.5， 6.0， 9.0， 18.0 mg·L^-1） on the in vitro proliferation of HepG2 cells was assessed using the methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium （MTT） assay. Colony formation ability of HepG2 cells was evaluated through a colony formation assay. Cell migration ability was assessed via a scratch assay. Lactate dehydrogenase （LDH） content in HepG2 cells was measured using a kit. Reactive oxygen species （ROS） levels in HepG2 cells were observed using a fluorescence inverted microscope. Malondialdehyde （MDA）， glutathione （GSH）， and free Fe²⁺ content in HepG2 cells were detected using respective kits. The mitochondrial ultrastructure in HepG2 cells was observed by transmission electron microscopy. The expression of ferroptosis-related proteins p53， solute carrier family 7 member 11 （SLC7A11）， glutathione peroxidase 4 （GPX4）， long-chain acyl-CoA synthetase 4 （ACSL4）， and transferrin receptor 1 （TFR1） in HepG2 cells was detected using Western blot. ResultCompared with the control group， the PPⅡ treatment groups showed significantly decreased survival rate of HepG2 cells in a dose-dependent manner （P<0.01）， significantly reduced number of cell colonies （P<0.01）， significantly shortened scratch healing distance， inverse correlation of the migration distance with drug concentration （P<0.01）， significantly increased LDH leakage in cells （P<0.01）， significantly enhanced relative fluorescence intensity of intracellular ROS， and significantly increased accumulation of lipid peroxide MDA （P<0.01）， decreased intracellular GSH content with increasing drug concentration （P<0.01）， and significantly enhanced fluorescence intensity of FeRhoNox-1 in cells （P<0.01）. Moreover， cells exhibited vacuolation， and mitochondria showed significant shrinkage with reduced or even disappeared cristae. Compared with the results in the control group， the expression of p53， ACSL4， and TFR1 proteins significantly increased， while the expression of SLC7A11 and GPX4 proteins significantly decreased in the PPⅡ treatment groups （P<0.05）. ConclusionIn summary， PPⅡ induces ferroptosis in HepG2 cells by regulating the p53/SLC7A11/GPX4 signaling axis， promoting ACSL4 expression and Fe³⁺ uptake， leading to an imbalance in the antioxidant system.

Objective To establish a rapid and convenient UPLC-MS/MS method for the determination of tamoxifen and its active metabolite endoxifen in plasma of patients with breast cancer.Methods With diazepam as the internal standard,the plasma sample was precipitated with acetonitrile and methanol-acetonitrile was used as mobile phase.The samples were separated by chromatographic column ZORBAX Eclipse plus C18(18 μm,2.1 mm x50 mm)and scanned by electrospray ion source and positive ion multiple reaction monitoring mode.The ion channels were detected as tamoxifen m/z 372.0→72.1,endoxifen m/z 374.0→58.2 and diazepam m/z 285→192.9.Results The linearity of tamoxifen and endoxifen were good in the concentration range of 1-500 ng·mL-1(R2=0.999 5)and 0.5-250 ng·mL-1,respectively(R2=0.999 9).The intra-day and inter-day precision of low,medium and high quality control concentrations were all less than 10％.Tamoxifen and endoxifen were stable at low temperature and stable after repeated freeze-thaw.Conclusion The experimental results show that the method meets the requirements of biological sample analysis,and the sample treatment is simple,specific,and can be used for the accurate and rapid determination of tamoxifen and indoloxifen in human plasma.

Objective To study the mechanism of the amelioration of renal injury in immunoglobulin A nephropathy(IgAN)rats by multi-glycosides of Tripterygium wilfordii(GTW)based on the sphingosine kinase 1(Sphk1)/sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor 2(S1PR2)signalling pathway.Methods An IgAN rat model was established by means of bovine serum albumin gavage+castor oil and carbon tetrachloride subcutaneous injection+lipopolysaccharide tail vein injection.The rats were randomly divided into the model,control and experimental groups,with 9 rats in each group,and 10 normal rats were taken as the blank group.In the control group,6.25 mg·kg-1·d-1 prednisone was given by gavage;in the experimental group,9.375 mg·kg-1·d-1GTW was given by gavage;and in the blank and model groups,0.5 mL·100 g-1·d-1 0.9％NaCl was given by gavage,and the drugs were administered to the rats once a day in each group.At the end of the 15th week,urine samples were collected and blood albumin(ALB),blood urea nitrogen(BUN),24 hour-urine protein quantification(24 h-UTP),and urine erythrocyte counts were determined in each group,and the expression levels of Sphk1/S1PR2 proteins in each group were detected by Western blotting.Results The renal pathological changes in the control and experimental groups were significantly reduced compared with those in the model group by hematoxylin-eosin staining and immunofluorescence.The levels of ALB in the blank,model,control and experimental groups were(32.49±2.23),(22.98±0.51),(26.01±1.33)and(26.53±1.92)g·L-1;the levels of BUN were(6.11±1.71),(13.75±2.96),(6.71±1.35)and(4.77±0.99)mmol·L-1;the levels of 24 h-UTP were(5.72±1.96),(9.12±2.15),(5.78±2.05)and(4.75±1.50)mg·24 h-1;the urine erythrocyte counts were(9.73±2.40),(14.62±2.60),(9.90±1.59)and(9.46±2.94)cell·μL-1;the relative expression levels of Sphk1 protein were 0.85±0.02,1.47±0.02,1.06±0.02 and 1.09±0.02;the relative expression levels of S1PR2 protein were 0.27±0.02,0.88±0.01,0.43±0.02,and 0.42±0.02,respectively.The above indexes in the model group were statistically significant when compared with those of the control group and the experimental group(all P＜0.01).Conclusion GTW may reduce the proliferation of mesangial cells by inhibiting the Sphk1/S1PR2 signalling pathway,thus attenuating kidney injury in IgAN rats.

Objective To explore the mechanism of action of lamotrigine in the treatment of major depressive disorder(MDD).Methods Information on the drug targets of lamotrigine and the therapeutic targets of MDD were collected for intersection target gene analysis and protein-protein interaction screening.Various biological pathways related to lamotrigine in treatment of MDD were determined through gene ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes enrichment analysis.The screened core targets were preliminarily validated using molecular docking technology.Further validation of Mendelian randomization was conducted using genome-wide association analysis data from gamma-aminobutyric acid recep tor-associated protein-like 1(GABARAPL1)and MDD in the OpenGWAS database.Results The biological pathways related to lamotrigine in treatment of MDD were identified,which included gamma-aminobutyric acid(GABA)ergic synapses,nicotine addiction,glutamatergic synapses,endogenous cannabinoid signaling.Molecular docking showed that the docking energy of lamotrigine with GABRA1,GABRB2,GABRA6,GABRD,GABRG2,GABRG1,GABRA5,GABRA4,GABRB3,and GABRA2 receptors was-5.8 kCal·mol-1.Among them,the GABRB3 receptor showed the strongest docking energy with lamotrigine,which was-9.5 kCal·mol-1.In the genome-wide association analysis data of GABARAPL1,303 single nucleotide polymorphisms were associated with GABARAPL1(P＜5 × 106).15 single nucleotide polymorphisms were screened and retained for Mendelian randomization analysis,and the results showed that GABA receptors may be an important therapeutic target for MDD.Conclusion The treatment of MDD with lamotrigine may be achieved by acting on GABA receptors,which provided a research basis for the clinical application of lamotrigine in treating MDD.

【Objective】 To understand factors associated with children′s attendance at nursery care institutions (NCIs) and the basic characteristics of the NCIs children were enrolled in, so as to provide scientific evidence for policymakers. 【Methods】 During November 2020 and January 2021, parents who visited the Department of Child Health Care in six selected maternal and children′s hospitals, as well as nearby NCIs in Zhejiang were invited to finish an online questionnaire. Information such as children′s sociodemographic characteristics, parents′ knowledge, attitude and practice regarding nursery and feeding, etc. were collected. A total of 1 756 questionnaires were collected. 【Results】 Compared to children who were not in NCIs, children enrolled in NCIs were older (94.4% of children ≥24 months vs. 30.1%, χ²=835.27), more likely to be from the local area (87.2% vs. 81.4%,χ²=12.25), more likely to have parents with a college degree (mother: 83.6% vs. 74.2%, χ²=35.29; father: 79.9% vs. 70.0%, χ²=27.01), had a higher prevalence of family annual income >200 000 CNY (49.5% vs. 28.2%, χ²=110.49), and were less likely to have their grandparents available to take care of them (16.7% vs. 26.8%, χ²=31.4) The difference all have great significant.(P<0.05). In a multivariate Logistic regression model, the older the child, the more likely they were to attend an NCI (for children aged 6 - 23 months, OR=6.70; for children aged 24 - 35 months, OR=134.03; and for children aged 36 - 42 months, OR=699.33; P<0.05). Family annual income was positively associated with children′s attendance at NCIs (for those earning 100 000 - 200 000 CNY/year, OR=1.63; for those earning 200 000 - 500 000 CNY/year, OR=2.96; and for those earning >500 000 CNY/year, OR=4.62, P<0.05). Conversely, the higher the level of grandparent involvement in daily care, the lower the attendance at NCIs (for children cared for by both parents and grandparents, OR=0.57; for those primarily cared for by grandparents, OR=0.26, P<0.05). For children who used to stay at NCIs, 82.8% stayed at institutions that only recruited children aged 0 - 3 years, 97.4% spent their whole day in NCIs, and 71.4% spent less than 3 000 CNY per month for NCI services. Additionally, over 95% of parents were satisfied with the food and care services in NCIs, as well as their children′s physical development in NCIs. However, 32.1% of NCIs were reported by parents as having no room for breastfeeding. 【Conclusions】 Children′s age, grandparent involvement in routine care, and family annual income are the main factors associated with children′s attendance at NCIs. There is a greater need for more affordable and community-based NCIs, particularly for children under 2 years old. Additionally, more attention should be paid to the quality surveillance, assessment and management of NCIs.
