    Abstract AbstractAlvania wangi Xu, Qi & Kong, sp. nov. (Mollusca, Gastropoda, Littorinimorpha, Rissoidae) was discovered within the intertidal zone in the Nanji Islands and Zhoushan Islands, Zhejiang Province, China. It has a radula characteristic of Alvania Risso, 1826, a protoconch sculptured with micro pits and lamellae between spiral lirae, and a teleoconch with growth lines and subobsolete cords. Specimens were examined using an integrative taxonomic approach incorporating morphological observations and phylogenetic analyses of concatenated mitochondrial 16S rRNA and nuclear 28S rRNA gene sequences. The findings suggest that the new species is sister to Alvania circinata A. Adams, 1861 and is probably endemic to the shallow waters of the East China Sea.

    Abstract Ethnopharmacological relevance: Qi Jing Mingmu (QJMM) decoction is a traditional Chinese medicine that has been widely used for the clinical treatment of conjunctivochalasis (CCH). It is an effective treatment to relieve ocular symptoms including improving tear film and promoting tear secretion. However, its effects and molecular mechanisms need to be elucidated.
    Aim of the study: To determine whether QJMM decoction affected T helper 17 (Th17) cell differentiation of CCH patients.
    Materials and methods: Blood samples and conjunctival tissues were collected from CCH patients and normal controls. The fibroblasts were separately induced, and CD4
    Results: Compared with normal controls, Th17 cell numbers and serum levels of IL-17 and IL-22 were elevated in patients with CCH. QJMM decoction down-regulated the expressions of IL-17, IL-22, and STAT3 of CD4
    Conclusion: QJMM decoction inhibited Th17 cell differentiation of CD4

    Abstract Mangrove forests are crucial in absorbing, storing, and purifying pollutants while maintaining ecological balance. A study was conducted in 2020 to investigate the biogeochemical processes of seawater and sedimentary environmental factors in the Qi'ao Island mangrove wetland. The study comprised two survey sections and ten survey stations within the mangrove forest and 16 large-scale survey stations in the adjacent sea area. During ebb tides, the mean concentrations of inorganic nitrogen and phosphate in Section D1 of the mangrove forest were 0.63 mg/L and 0.003 mg/L, respectively. These levels were significantly lower than the results observed in the adjacent sea area and Section D2 of the mangrove forest during flood tides. The mangrove forest efficiently absorbed and consumed nutrients, with the nitrogen-to-phosphorus ratio of consumed nutrients being notably higher than that typically utilized by plants during growth. We identified various biogeochemical processes, including nitrogen fixation, mineralization, nitrification, and denitrification, occurring within the mangrove forest. Seawater measurements in Section D1 during ebb tides showed the mean pH of 7.58 and dissolved oxygen levels of 4.52 mg/L, resulting in a dissolved oxygen saturation level of only 57.0 %. The low dissolved oxygen levels were attributed to organic matter degradation in the forest. Consequently, the longer the water retention time, the more obvious the trend of hypoxia and acidification was observed. In the adjacent sea area, the sedimentary environment was deemed healthy, with pollutants primarily originating from runoff and ship discharge from waterways and ports. However, within the mangrove forest, the sediments exhibited higher enrichment factors for organic carbon and sulfide, indicating significant pollution compared to the adjacent sea area. The sediments were conducive to the accumulation and burial of total Hg, Zn, and Cu, while other heavy metals did not show prominent deposition and enrichment. Notably, the enrichment ...

    Abstract Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been proved to exert anti-inflammatory effects and regulate immune reactions. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), qi-fang-bi-min-tang, is effective for some patients with allergic diseases. However, it remains unclear whether MSCs combined with TCM could benefit the treatment of allergic rhinitis (AR). In this study, we reported an additional effect of TCM (qi-fang-bi-min-tang) on the therapy of AR under MSCs treatment. Intriguingly, we observed that TCM-treated MSCs significantly inhibited the symptoms of AR and reduced the pathological changes of nasal mucosa in ovalbumin (OVA)-induced rats. The expression levels of interferon γ (IFN-γ), interleukin-17 (IL-17), and IL-4 were significantly decreased in the plasma of AR rats after injection of TCM-treated MSCs. TCM-treated MSCs reduced the levels of histamine secreted by mast cells and immunoglobulin E (IgE) secreted by plasma cells. In addition, we found that MSCs combined with TCM had a better therapeutic effect than TCM alone on AR in an OVA-induced mouse model. After OVA induction, MSCs combined with TCM significantly reduced the ratio of T helper type 1 (Th1), Th2, and Th17, but increased the proportion of Treg in the spleen of mice. Consistently, the expression levels of IFN-γ, IL-4, and IL-17 were significantly decreased, but transforming growth factor-β1 was significantly increased in the plasma of AR mice after treated with TCM and MSCs. Our results from both rats and mice indicated that the effects of TCM combined with MSCs on the AR might be through regulating the secretion of Th1, Th2, and Th17 cytokines. This study suggested that TCM (qi-fang-bi-min-tang)-treated MSCs could be used in the clinical therapy of AR.

    Abstract Myostatin, through type I receptor (kinase 4, 5, ALK4/5), functions to participate in the immune system and negatively regulate muscle growth in mammals. However, the role of myostatin (mstn) in the immune system of teleosts is largely unknown. In a previous study, we cloned the mstn1 cDNA encoding myostatin in Qi river crucian carp (Carassius auratus). In the present study, we have cloned mstn2 cDNA, which was characterized and analyzed together with mstn1. Tissue distribution analysis showed that both mstn genes are expressed in numerous tissues, with mstn1 dominantly expressed in the muscle and brain, whereas mstn2 is mainly expressed in the brain. During embryogenesis, mstn1 and mstn2 exhibit different expression patterns. Both mstn1 and mstn2 expression increased stepwise in the brain at different developmental stages. Furthermore, both genes are differentially regulated during different periods of fasting/re-feeding. Following the exposure of C. auratus to polyI:C, lipopolysaccharide (LPS), and Aeromonas hydrophila, both genes were upregulated in different tissues, which indicated that they might be involved in the immune response against pathogenic invasion. Blocking the Mstn signal pathway with SB-431542 (a chemical inhibitor of ALK4/5) resulted in significantly increased body length and weight. However, the mortality of SB-431542-treated fish was higher after A. hydrophila challenge. Moreover, decreased expression of lysozymes (lyz), complement component 3 (c3), β-defensin 3 (defb3), and interferon γ (ifnγ) were exhibited in treated fish, compared with the controls. Furthermore, the expression of nf-κb1, three pro-inflammatory cytokines (il1β, il6, and tnfα), and inflammatory cytokines (il8 and il10) were significantly increased in both the SB-431542-treated group and the control after A. hydrophila infection, suggesting that the NF-κB pathway was not suppressed in the SB-431542-treated fish. Taken together, our data suggest that both mstn1 and mstn2 play important roles in early body development, muscle growth, and the immune system by acting downstream of the NF-κB signal pathway.

    Abstract AbstractContext Da-Cheng-Qi Decoction (DCQD) has a significant effect on Severe Acute Pancreatitis-Associated Acute Lung Injury (SAP-ALI).Objective To explore the mechanism of DCQD in the treatment of SAP-ALI based on intestinal barrier function and intestinal lymphatic pathway.Materials and methods Forty-five Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into three groups: sham operation, model, and DCQD. The SAP model was induced by a retrograde infusion of 5.0% sodium taurocholate solution (1 mg/kg) at a constant rate of 12 mL/h using an infusion pump into the bile-pancreatic duct. Sham operation and model group were given 0.9% normal saline, while DCQD group was given DCQD (5.99 g/kg/d) by gavage 1 h before operation and 1, 11 and 23 h after operation. The levels of HMGB1, RAGE, TNF-α, IL-6, ICAM-1, d-LA, DAO in blood and MPO in lung were detected using ELISA. The expression of HMGB1, RAGE, NF-κB p65 in mesenteric lymph nodes and lung were determined.Results Compared with SAP group, DCQD significantly reduced the histopathological scoring of pancreatic tissue (SAP, 2.80 ± 0.42; DCQD, 2.58 ± 0.52), intestine (SAP, 3.30 ± 0.68; DCQD, 2.50 ± 0.80) and lung (SAP, 3.30 ± 0.68; DCQD, 2.42 ± 0.52). DCQD reduced serum HMGB1 level (SAP, 134.09 ± 19.79; DCQD, 88.05 ± 9.19), RAGE level (SAP, 5.05 ± 1.44; DCQD, 2.13 ± 0.54). WB and RT-PCR showed HMGB1-RAGE pathway was inhibited by DCQD (p < 0.01).Discussion and conclusions DCQD improves SAP-ALI in rats by interfering with intestinal lymphatic pathway and reducing HMGB1-induced inflammatory response.

    Abstract Background: The theories of Shen-reinforcement and Qi-supplementation are important in asthma treatment based on traditional Chinese medicine theories. Early studies suggested that Invigorating Kidney and Supplementing Qi herbal formulae, Bu Shen Fang Chuan (BSFC) and Bu Shen Yi Qi (BSYQ), conveyed promising results in asthma treatment. However, the efficacy and safety of the formulae need to be further investigated by a randomized double-blind clinical trial.
    Methods: 328 eligible patients were randomly sent to BSFC, BSYQ, and placebo group. The two formulae were received as add-on therapy. The primary endpoints were rate of asthma exacerbation and Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAM-D) score. The secondary endpoints included HPA axis function and inflammatory cytokine production profile. All indexes were measured before and after treatment.
    Results: The primary endpoints were not improved in both groups; however, the depression levels of subgroup patients with HAM-D score > 5 were improved in BSFC group. HPA axis functions and inflammatory cytokines level were also improved by two formulae. The incidences of adverse events were similar among groups.
    Conclusions: The two formulae had multiple advantage effects on neuroendocrine-immune system. They are worth used as a replacement therapy in asthma.
    Trial registration: This trial is registered with clinical trial number ChiCTR-PRC-09000529.

    Abstract Objective: To evaluate the clinical efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) supplementing Qi and hemostasis formula on gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and thus find out the optimal therapeutic regimen to reduce incidence of GI bleeding without increase of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs).
    Methods: In the randomized, double-blinded, controlled trial, 117 participants who underwent PCI were enrolled and evenly distributed into treatment arm (59) and control arm (58). Numerous end points were assessed including the primary endpoint of GI bleeding and MACEs and secondary endpoint of thromboelastogram (TEG) (mainly MAadp, inhibition of ADP, and inhibition of AA) and TCM syndrome score during the follow-up phase of 90 days.
    Results: Incidence of bleeding including GI bleeding and MACE did not differ significantly between two arms (28.82% in treatment arm versus 24.44% in control). However, on both days 30 and 90, TCM treatment remarkably reduced the TCM syndrome total score with notable alteration (P<0.05) except for some parameters such as pulse manifestation. When it came to TEG, however, MA
    Conclusion: (1) Supplementing Qi and hemostasis formula is equal to Pantoprazole Sodium Enteric-Coated Capsule in hemostasis and gastric mucosal protection; (2) supplementing Qi and hemostasis formula is superior to Pantoprazole Sodium Enteric-Coated Capsule in improving TCM syndrome manifestation possibly through the multitarget mechanism; (3) interference on clopidogrel of supplementing Qi and hemostasis formula might be much less than Pantoprazole Sodium Enteric-Coated Capsule due to the potential CYP450-independent mechanism. This trial is registered with ChiCTR1800014485.
