    Abstract Ethnopharmacological relevance: Jiao Sanxian, a customary term for the three Traditional Chinese Medicines of charred hawthorn (Crataegi Fructus), charred malt (Hordei Fructus Germinatus) and Liu Shenqu (Massa Medicata Fermentata), is a classic prescription for the treatment of functional dyspepsia (FD). This prescription is called "Jiao Sanxian" in China because people believe that it is a miracle medicine for enhancing digestion and improving stagnation of digestive system. Even though Jiao Sanxian is widely used in clinical treatment, the underlying mechanism has not been clarified to date.
    Aim of the study: The present study is aimed to explore the efficacy and mechanism of Jiao Sanxian in improving the symptoms of FD in rats by using multiple pharmacological methods.
    Materials and methods: The Sprague Dawley (SD) rats were divided into control, model, Jiao Sanxian decoction low-dosage (JSXD LD), Jiao Sanxian decoction medium-dosage (JSXD MD), and Jiao Sanxian decoction high-dosage (JSXD HD) group at random. A FD model was established with reserpine, and animals were given intragastric administration. During this period, weight and food intake of animals were recorded. Samples of rat gastric antrum, spleen, and duodenum were collected for pathological staining and immunohistochemical determination of Ghrelin protein expression after 19 days of treatment. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to determine the concentration of related brain gut peptides in serum. Moreover, 16S rRNA sequencing was used to valuate the influence of intestinal flora structure of the cecal contents of experimental rats. And plasma metabolomics by Ultra Performance Liquid Chromatography coupled with Quadrupole-Time-of-Flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-Q/TOF-MS) were performed to further reveal the mechanism of action.
    Results: Jiao Sanxian decoction (JSXD) group with different dosage could increase body weight and food intake, improve histopathological changes, and alter disordered brain gut peptides in FD rats. 16S rRNA sequencing results described that JSXD improved the disorder of structural composition, biodiversity and function of gut microbiota in FD rats. Metabolomics illustrated 26 metabolites with JSXD treatment underwent continuous changes, which revealed JSXD might exert digestive effect by ameliorating abnormal metabolic pathways. The most relevant metabolic pathways were arachidonic acid metabolism, pyruvate metabolism, glycerophospholipid metabolism, alanine, aspartate and glutamate metabolism.
    Conclusions: JSXD can improve functional dyspepsia in rats and the mechanism is related to regulate secretion of brain gut peptides, significantly improve the disorder of intestinal flora and ameliorated multi-metabolic pathways.

    Abstract Male immune infertility is a common disease with an incidence rate of about 10%. This article aimed to find some breakthrough clues to the etiology and pathogenesis of male immune infertility from years of relevant studies in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Some consensuses on the diagnosis, etiology and pathogenesis of the disease are based on limited and isolated understandings. With the Tri-Jiao Theory as the breakthrough point, we analyzed the three studies by the Xu Fu-song Group and discussed the causes, development and outcome of male immune infertility from the aspects of its positioning, transmission and syndrome differentiation. The Tri-Jiao Theory reflects the holistic thought of TCM and offers a comprehensive insight into the dynamic changes of the disease. As the basis for TCM understanding of male immune infertility, studies on the mucosal immune system have provided some new ideas for applying the Tri-Jiao Theory to TCM researches into the disease.

    Abstract Multi-source precipitation products can play an important role in monitoring and forecasting short-duration heavy rainfall and the resulted intense flood. In this study, the record-breaking flood induced by Typhoon Lekima in Jiao River, East China, was forecasted. First, the Xinanjiang (XAJ) model was developed and calibrated based on parameter regionalization derived from SOM and k-Means clustering. Then, the performance of currently prevailing atmosphere reanalysis (CLDASv2 and CMA-CMORP), quantitative precipitation estimation (QPEs) (IMERG-ER and PERSIANN-CCS) and quantitative precipitation forecasts (QPFs) (GRAPES_MESO, ECMWF and GFS) in monitoring and forecasting the Lekima heavy rainfall and flood was evaluated. Finally, in order to obtain good-accuracy rainfall, a three-component blended ensemble was proposed through blending QPE nowcasts with the weighted ensemble of QPFs through a transition of the regional GRAPES_MESO product. The results showed that parameter regionalization in the hydrological model enabled an explicit consideration of the spatial heterogeneity of basin attributes as well as meteorology with a minimum NSE value of 0.81. The two products namely CLDASv2 and CMA-CMORPH provided superior spatial-temporal accuracy with Structural Similarity Index up to 0.75 and NSE > 0.9 for flood simulation. The real-time application of QPFs during the Lekima flood provided encouraging results with a lead time of 40 hours. The proposed ensemble method generated more stable and accurate flood forecasts. The findings in this study can present good reference for real-time flood preparation and mitigation with practical significances.

    Abstract The purpose of this study is to evaluate the bio-accumulation of different soil-crop systems (SCSs) for heavy metals (HMs) and the geo-accumulation of different agricultural growing regions. The ecological risk (ER) assessment was conducted to understand the impact of intensive agricultural production on the environment. To achieve this aim, four typical crops, wheat, corn, potatoes, and leeks grown in the Jiao River Basin (JRB), were selected as the research objects. The concentrations of eight HMs, including copper (Cu), lead (Pb), zinc (Zn), nickel (Ni), chromium (Cr), cadmium (Cd), arsenic (As), and mercury (Hg) in crop tissue and soil were detected. The statistical analysis, including the geo-accumulation index (Igeo), geostatistical analysis, correlation and cluster analysis were then used to evaluate soil contamination and determine the source types of HMs. The results show that the average concentrations of eight HMs in the soil follow the order: Zn > Cr > Ni > Pb > Cu > As > Cd > Hg and the calculated concentration coefficients (K) vary from 0.41–1.12, indicating relative scarcity in sources of HMs. All the Igeo values of HMs are less than 0 except the Igeo of Cr within potato-farmland is from 0 to 1, illustrating that the soil in JRB is uncontaminated. The correlation and cluster analysis reveal that Cu, Zn, and Cd have a strong relationship with each other and the relationship between Pb, Ni, and Cr is general. The content of eight HMs in different crops varies greatly and most of them are within the scope of National Food Safety Standards—Limit of Pollutants in food of China. The bioconcentration factors (BCF) indicate that wheat, corn, potato, and leek have strong bio-accumulation ability of Cu, Zn, and Cd. The ecological risk factor (Er) shows that JRB is in low risk of Cu, Pb, Zn, Ni, Cr, and As; however, the risk of Cr and Hg are mostly low, characterized by partially dotted moderate risk. The risk index (RI) is mainly moderate with partially low risk distributed in planar and high risk distributed in point.

    Abstract Lu-Jiao Fang (LJF), a traditional Chinese medicine prescription, can improve the cardiac function of chronic heart failure (CHF) patients; however, knowledge about the cardiac distribution of LJF, especially in CHF animal models, is rather limited. This work aimed to explore the cardiac distribution of LJF in pressure overload-induced CHF rats at the last gavage administration of LJF after 30 weeks of treatment. LC-MS/MS methods for analyzing nine active components (i.e. loganin, hesperidin, epimedin C, icariin, psoralen, isopsoralen, baohuoside I, morroniside and specnuezhenide) of LJF in cardiac tissue samples were established, and the components were then analyzed in left ventricular wall (LVW) and right ventricular wall (RVW) in parallel at same time point postdose for three dose groups. The results showed that most analytical component levels in LVW (hypertrophic myocardium) were only 39-74% of those in RVW (normal myocardium); however, psoralen and isopsoralen levels in LVW were equal to or even greater than the levels in RVW, suggesting that the hypertrophic myocardium tissue affinity of psoralen and isopsoralen might overcome the negative effect of decreased blood flow on distribution. This study indicated that the pathological state may influence drug distribution, and the efficacy of psoralen and isopsoralen for improving CHF deserves further investigation.
