    Abstract Previous studies have reported changes in white matter microstructures in patients with insomnia. However, few neuroimaging studies have focused specifically on white matter tracts in insomnia patients after having received treatment. In this prospective study, diffusion-tensor imaging was used in two samples of heart-kidney imbalance insomnia patients who were treated with placebo or Jiao-Tai-Wan, a traditional Chinese medicine commonly used to treat heart-kidney imbalance insomnia, to assess the changes in white matter tracts. Tract-based spatial statistical analyses were first applied to compare the changes in mean diffusivity and fractional anisotropy of white matter between 75 heart-kidney imbalance insomnia patients and 41 healthy control participants. In subsequent randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials, comparisons of mean diffusivity and fractional anisotropy were also performed in 24 heart-kidney imbalance insomnia patients (8 males; 16 females; 42.5 ± 10.4 years) with Jiao-Tai-Wan and 26 heart-kidney imbalance insomnia patients (11 males; 15 females; 39.7 ± 9.4 years) with a placebo, with age and sex as covariates. Fractional anisotropy values in left corticospinal tract were increased in heart-kidney imbalance insomnia patients. Heart-kidney imbalance insomnia patients showed lower mean diffusivity and fractional anisotropy values of several white matter tracts than healthy control participants, such as the bilateral anterior limb of internal capsule, bilateral superior longitudinal fasciculus and bilateral posterior corona radiata. After being treated with Jiao-Tai-Wan, heart-kidney imbalance insomnia patients showed a trend towards reduced fractional anisotropy values in the left corticospinal tract. Jiao-Tai-Wan may improve the sleep quality by reversing the structural changes of the left corticospinal tract caused by heart-kidney imbalance insomnia.

    Abstract Jiao-Ai Decoction (JAD), a classical traditional Chinese formula composed of seven Chinese herbs, has been widely used in clinical practice for the treatment of abortion for a long time. However, the material basis and pharmacological mechanism remain unclear. An integrative method combining ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) analysis and therapeutic effect evaluation based on the hypothalamus-pituitary-ovarian axis (HPOA) was employed to elaborate these problems. Firstly, the chemical profile of JAD was identified by UPLC-Q-TOF-MS. Secondly, the main target ingredients from JAD were determined by UPLC-T-Q-MS. Finally, the miscarriage prevention of JAD on threatened abortion pregnant rats induced by mifepristone was investigated. Threatened abortion model in rats were replicated, uterine bleeding quantity (UBQ) and histopathological sections were measured, the contents of luteinizing hormone (LH), follicular stimulating hormone (FSH), estradiol (E

    Abstract The current prevention options for postmenopausal osteoporosis are very limited. E’Jiao is a collagen-rich traditional Chinese medicine with the potential to prevent osteoporosis but more comprehensive investigations are lacking. This study aimed to investigate the skeletal protective effects of E’Jiao in a rat model of osteoporosis caused by ovariectomy. Female Sprague Dawley rats (n = 42) were randomly assigned into baseline, sham, ovariectomised (OVX) control, OVX-treated with low-dose (0.26 g/kg), medium dose (0.53 g/kg) and high dose E’Jiao (1.06 g/kg), as well as calcium carbonate (1% w/v) groups. Daily treatment through oral gavage was initiated 7 days after OVX. The rats were euthanised after eight weeks of treatment. Bone mineral density and content were measured at baseline, 1 and 2 months after treatment. Blood was collected for the measurement of bone remodelling markers. Femur and tibial bones were collected for histomorphometry and biomechanical strength analysis. Untreated OVX rats showed high bone remodelling marked by the increased bone formation and bone resorption markers, as well as increased mineralising surface/bone surface ratio. In addition, osteoclast surface and single-labelled surface were increased while mineral apposition rate was reduced in the untreated OVX rats. These changes were antagonised by E’Jiao at all doses. However, the structural, cellular and biomechanical parameters were not affected by ovariectomy and treatment. In conclusion, E’Jiao prevented high bone remodelling during oestrogen deficiency but a long-term study will be required to establish its effects on structural and biomechanical changes due to oestrogen deficiency.

    Abstract Objective. This nationwide, multicenter prospective observational study with a patient registry was designed to evaluate the efficacy of Fufang E’jiao Jiang (FEJ) in Chinese patients with Qi and blood deficiency syndrome (QBDS). Methods. QBDS patients were consecutively recruited from 81 investigational sites in China from July, 2019, to December, 2020. Patients who met the eligibility criteria were enrolled in a prospective registry database. Baseline characteristics and changes in scores on the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) symptom evaluation scale for Qi and blood deficiency, the clinical global impression (CGI) scale, the fatigue scale-14 (FS-14), and the Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) were analyzed to determine the clinical efficacy of FEJ. Results. A total of 3,203 patients were recruited. The average remission rate (i.e., the sum of the cure rate and improvement rate) of the 20 symptoms of QBDS was 92.49% after 4 weeks of FEJ treatment, which was higher than at baseline; the rate increased to 94.69% at 8 weeks. The CGI scale revealed that the number of total remissions at 4 and 8 weeks was 3,120 (97.41%) and 415 (100%), respectively. The total FS-14 scores decreased by 1.67 ± 4.11 (p<0.001) at 4 weeks and 1.72 ± 3.09 (p<0.001) at 8 weeks of treatment. The PSQI scores were 6.6 ± 4.7 and 6.52 ± 3.07 at 4 and 8 weeks, respectively, which were significantly lower than the baseline scores (p<0.001; p=0.0033). Both the subhealth fatigue (SF) and iron deficiency anemia (IDA) groups showed significantly improved clinical symptoms of QBDS (p<0.01). Between-group comparisons revealed significantly greater improvements in FS-14 and PSQI scores in the SF group than in the IDA group (p<0.05). A multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that disease course, FS-14 score at baseline, and four-week FEJ doses were independent risk factors for the degree of symptom relief in QBDS patients (p<0.05). Conclusion. In real-world settings, FEJ has a promising effect in treating QBDS and can ...

    Abstract Ethnopharmacological relevance: Jiao-Tai-Wan (JTW) is a very famous traditional Chinese medicine formula for the treatment of psychiatric disorders, especially in anxiety, insomnia and depression. However, its molecular mechanism of treatment remains indistinct.
    Aim of the study: We aimed to reveal the action mechanism of JTW on anti-depression via inhibiting microglia activation and pro-inflammatory response both in vivo and in vitro.
    Material and methods: The corticosterone (CORT)-induced depression mouse model was used to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of JTW. Behavioral tests (open field, elevated plus maze, tail suspension and forced swim test) were conducted to evaluate the effect of JTW on depressive-like behaviors. The levels of inflammatory factors and the concentration of neurotransmitters were detected by RT-qPCR or ELISA assays. Then three hippocampal tissue samples per group (Control, CORT, and JTW group) were sent for RNA sequencing (RNA-seq). Transcriptomics data analysis was used to screen the key potential therapeutic targets and signaling pathways of JTW. Based on 8 bioactive species of JTW by our previous study using High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis, molecular docking analyses were used to predict the interaction of JTW-derived compounds and depression targets. Finally, the results of transcriptome and molecular docking analyses were combined to verify the targets, key pathways, and efficacy of JTW treatment in vivo and vitro.
    Results: JTW ameliorated CORT-induced depressive-like behaviors, neuronal damage and enhanced the levels of monoamine neurotransmitters in the serum of mice. JTW also inhibited CORT-induced inflammatory activation of microglia and decreased the serum levels of interleukin- 6(IL-6) and interleukin- 1β (IL-1β) in vivo. Transcriptomic data analysis showed there were 10 key driver analysis (KDA) genes with the strongest correlation which JTW regulated in depression mice. Molecular docking analysis displayed bioactive compound Magnoflorine had the strongest binding force to the key gene colony-stimulating factor 1 receptor (CSF1R), which is the signaling microglia dependent upon for their survival. Meanwhile, CSF1R staining showed it was consistent with inflammatory activation of microglia. Our vitro experiment also showed JTW and CSF1R inhibitor significantly reduced lipopolysaccharide (LPS)/interferon-gamma (IFNɣ)-induced inflammatory activation response in macrophage cells.
    Conclusions: Our study suggests that JTW might ameliorate CORT-induced neuronal damage in depression mice by inhibiting CSF1R mediated microglia activation and pro-inflammatory response.
