    Abstract Background: Dengue virus (DENV) is a major public health threat. However, there are no specific therapeutic drugs for DENV. Many Chinese heat-cleaning formulas, such as Liang-Ge-San (LGS), have been frequently used in the virus-induced diseases. The antiviral effect of LGS has not been reported yet.
    Purpose: In this study, the effect of LGS on the inhibition of dengue virus serotype 2 (DENV-2) was investigated and the relevant mechanism was explored.
    Methods: High-performance liquid chromatography was applied to analyze the chemical characterization of LGS. The in vitro antiviral activities of LGS against DENV-2 were evaluated by time-of-drug-addition assay. The binding of heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) and envelope (E) protein or caveolin1 (Cav1) were analyzed by immunofluorescence and immunoprecipitation assays. Then the role of Cav1 in the anti-DENV-2 effects of LGS was further examined. DENV-2 infected Institute of Cancer Research suckling mice (n = 10) and AG129 mice (n = 8) were used to examine the protective effects of LGS.
    Results: It was found that geniposide, liquiritin, forsythenside A, forsythin, baicalin, baicalein, rhein, and emodin maybe the characteristic components of LGS. LGS inhibited the early stage of DENV-2 infection, decreased the expression levels of viral E and non-structural protein 1 (NS1) proteins. LGS also reduced E protein and Hsp70 binding and attenuated the translocation of Hsp70 from cytoplasm to the cell membrane. Moreover, LGS decreased the binding of Hsp70 to Cav1. Further study showed that the overexpression of Cav1 reversed LGS-mediated E protein and Hsp70 inhibition in the plasma membrane. In the in vivo study, LGS was highly effective in prolonging the survival time, reducing viral loads.
    Conclusion: This work demonstrates for the first time that LGS exerts anti-DENV-2 activity in vitro and in vivo. LGS decreases DENV-2-stimulated cytoplasmic Hsp70 translocation into the plasma membrane by Cav1 inhibition, thereby inhibiting the early stage of virus infection. These findings indicate that LGS may be a candidate for the treatment of DENV.

    Abstract The article “Masking and unmasking fishing down effects: The Bohai Sea (China) as a case study” (Liang and Pauly 2020) concluded that the mean trophic level of fishable biomass (MTL_b) declined more rapidly than the mean trophic level of catches (MTL_c) in the Bohai Sea since the 1950s. We have no doubt on the occurrence of a fishing down phenomenon or trophic cascades in the Bohai Sea, but argue that their comparative conclusion above is an artifact based on a flawed analysis of the relative biomass and catch data. First, they claimed a sharp decline in estimated MTL_b in the Bohai Sea based on bottom trawl survey data in only five years (i.e., 1959, 1982, 1992, 1998 and 2010) over half a century (1959–2010). We propose that changes in fishing vessels and gear types in those surveys after 1959 could make the estimated MTL_b in 1959 not comparable to those in the other years later. We also demonstrate that the declines in MTL_b from 1992 to 1998 and then to 2010 mainly resulted from the abrupt blooms of C. punctatus (a species with the lowest trophic level at 2.4 among all common or dominant fish and invertebrate species in the ecosystem) in 1998 and 2010. These two occasional declines based on three data points should be explained by large interannual variability in C. punctatus population dynamics, instead of trophic cascades or a fishing down effect which are ecological processes at system scale that usually only become apparent over a long time series like decades of years. Additionally, we illustrate that Liang and Pauly attributing the artifact of a much steeper decline in MTL_b than that in MTL_c to a masking effect for fishing down is unsupported by the data and literatures. Furthermore, we explain in details for our concerns on the accuracy of estimated marine fisheries catches data by taxa/species from China Fishery Statistical Yearbooks for any specific fishing area like the Bohai Sea, and suggest such data should be used with caution in future studies.

    Abstract Liang-Ge-San (LGS) is a classic formula in traditional Chinese medicine, which is widely used to treat acute lung injury (ALI), pharyngitis and amygdalitis in clinic. However, the underlying mechanisms remain poorly defined. In this study, we discovered that LGS exerted potent anti-inflammatory effects in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammation. We found that LGS significantly depressed the production of IL-6 and TNF-α in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 macrophage cells. The degradation and phosphorylation of IκBα and the nuclear translocation of NF-κB p65 were also inhibited. Moreover, LGS activated α7 nicotinic cholinergic receptor (α7nAchR). The blockage of α7nAchR by selective inhibitor methyllycaconitine (MLA) or α7nAchR siRNA attenuated the inhibitory effects of LGS on IκBα, NF-κB p65, IL-6 and TNF-α. Critically, LGS significantly inhibited inflammation in LPS-induced ALI rats through the activation of NF-κB signaling pathway. However, these protective effects could be counteracted by the treatment of MLA. Taken together, we first demonstrated anti-inflammatory effects of LGS both in vitro and in vivo through cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway. The study provides a rationale for the clinical application of LGS as an anti-inflammatory agent and supports the critical role of cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway in inflammation.

    Abstract Aim of the study: Sinomenine, an alkaloid isolated from the root of Sinomenium acutum, has been used to alleviate the symptoms of rheumatic diseases. Liang Miao San (LMS), composed of the herbs Rhizoma Atractylodis (Cangzhu) and Cotex Phellodendri (Huangbai), is another traditional Chinese medicine formula for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) treatment. Although numerous studies have demonstrated the potential anti-inflammatory activities of sinomenine and LMS, the underlying intracellular mechanisms regulating the anti-inflammatory activities of sinomenine and LMS on human primary fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS) from RA patients and normal control subjects have not been elucidated.
    Materials and methods: We investigated the in vitro anti-inflammatory activity of sinomenine and LMS on inflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α-mediated activation of human normal and RA-FLS. The underlying intracellular signaling molecules were analyzed quantitatively using flow cytometry.
    Results: Sinomenine was found to significantly inhibit TNF-α induced cell surface expression of vascular cell adhesion molecule (VCAM)-1 and release of inflammatory cytokine and chemokine IL-6, CCL2 and CXCL8 from both normal and RA-FLS (all p<0.05). Moreover, the suppression of sinomenine on TNF-α induced VCAM-1 expression and IL-6 release of RA-FLS was significantly higher than that of normal FLS (p<0.05). LMS significantly inhibited TNF-α-induced inflammatory chemokines CXCL10 and CCL5 release from both normal and RA-FLS, with significantly higher suppression on CXCL10 secretion in RA-FLS than that of normal FLS (all p<0.05). Further investigations showed that sinomenine and LMS could significantly suppress TNF-α-induced phosphorylation of inhibitor κBα and extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase, the central signaling molecules mediating TNF-α-induced VCAM-1 expression and chemokine production.
    Conclusion: Our results therefore provide a new insight into the differential anti-inflammatory activities of sinomenine and LMS through the suppression of TNF-α-activated FLS by modulating distinct intracellular signaling pathways in RA.

    Abstract In the contemporary state of accelerated urbanization in China, urban expansion has become the mainstream trend of urban development. However, in the context of urban expansion, whether coordinated development between urban expansion and urban vitality is achieved is an important concern facing the current urban expansion process. The Pearl River Delta (PRD) urban agglomeration is a hotspot of rapid economic development in China, and it is essential to examine the coupling relationship between the region's urban dynamics and urban expansion to promote rational urban development. This study analyzes the dynamics and evolutionary characteristics of urban expansion based on multisource nighttime light data, employing an UERI and other methods. We apply the entropy method and coupling coordination model to evaluate urban vitality and conduct a coupling analysis of urban expansion and urban vitality from 1992 to 2021. The results show that during the study period, the urban built-up area of the PRD urban agglomeration increased by 61,131.59 km

    Abstract Research objective: To explore the spatial correlation network characteristics and formation mechanisms of tourism resource conversion efficiency, and provide reference for the collaborative improvement of tourism resource conversion efficiency at the provincial level in China.
    Research methods: Non parametric SBM efficiency measurement method and social network analysis method. Research hypothesis: The spatial network correlation characteristics of tourism resource conversion efficiency are obvious, and regional connections are close.
    Research findings: (i) during the research period, the spatial connection strength of China's tourism resource conversion efficiency continued to increase and the spatial network structure of tourism resource conversion efficiency tended to become more complex and significantly more stable. (ii) A spatially linked network with a stable tourism resource conversion efficiency structure formed in China. The number of network relations and density of the network fluctuated and increased, while the network efficiency continued to decrease; however, a strong small-world nature was observed. (iii) The economic development level difference matrix, tourism industry agglomeration difference matrix, human capital difference matrix, and marketization degree difference matrix significantly and positively affected spatial association relationship establishment, while the provincial adjacency matrix significantly and negatively affected such relationships.

    Abstract Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are a type of stromal cells characterized by their properties of self-renewal and multi-lineage differentiation, which make them prominent in regenerative medicine. MSCs have shown significant potential for the treatment of various diseases, primarily through the paracrine effects mediated by soluble factors, specifically extracellular vesicles (EVs). MSC-EVs play a crucial role in intercellular communication by transferring various bioactive substances, including proteins, RNA, DNA, and lipids, highlighting the contribution of MSC-EVs in regulating cancer development and progression. Remarkably, increasing evidence indicates the association between MSC-EVs and resistance to various types of cancer treatments, including radiotherapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, and endocrinotherapy. In this review, we provide an overview of the recent advancements in the biogenesis, isolation, and characterization of MSC-EVs, with an emphasis on their functions in cancer therapy resistance. The clinical applications and future prospects of MSC-EVs for mitigating cancer therapy resistance and enhancing drug delivery are also discussed. Elucidating the role and mechanism of MSC-EVs in the development of treatment resistance in cancer, as well as evaluating the clinical significance of MSC-EVs, is crucial for advancing our understanding of tumor biology. Meanwhile, inform the development of effective treatment strategies for cancer patients in the future.
