Abstract	Ethnopharmacological relevance: Yi Mai granule (YMG) consists of two classic Chinese medicine formulas used to treat cardiovascular disease for centuries. The Pink1-Mfn2-Parkin pathway, a well-recognized mechanism that mediates mitochondrial autophagy, plays a big part in mitochondrial quality control and the maintenance of heart function. However, the effects of YMG on endothelial dysfunction and mitochondrial autophagy remain unknown. Aim of the study: Here, we focused on the therapeutic effects of YMG in improving mitochondrial autophagy and the mechanism of YMG against cardiovascular disease. Materials and methods: In this study, rats were fed high-fat diet (HFD) for 21 weeks and were given high, medium, and low doses of YMG in stomach. The open field test was used to evaluate the rats' behavior. Atherosclerotic plaques, blood lipids, and cytokine levels were measured. Mitochondrial autophagy changes were observed by Transmission electron microscope (TEM). Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were injured by angiotensinⅡ(AngⅡ) and were given high, medium, and low doses of YMG medicated serum in cell culture medium. Pink1-Mfn2-Parkin expression and miRNA 125a-5p expression were measured by RT-PCR and Western blot. Results: We demonstrated that the atherosclerosis model group tended to exhibit reduced vitality behaviors. We proved that the atherosclerosis model group showed obvious atherosclerotic plaques, endothelial cells destruction, and high level of blood lipid and cytokines (including hs-CRP, ET). Mitochondria were reduced, and mitophagy was inhibited in aortic cells of the model group. MiRNA-125a-5p was up-regulated; at the same time, Pink1-Mfn2-Parkin-mediated mitochondrial autophagy was prevented. We also proved that AngⅡinjured HUVEC showed obviously low mRNA levels of Pink1, Mfn2, and Parkin. Interestingly, we found that miRNA-125a-5p was significantly down regulated in Ang II-induced HUVECs. In addition, miRNA-125a-5p significantly reduced the protective effect of YiMai Granules against Ang II injury. Conclusion: Our finding indicated that Pink1-Mfn2-Parkin-mediated mitochondrial autophagy plays a crucial role in alleviating atherosclerosis. YMG alleviated atherosclerosis by potentially activating mitochondrial autophagy may via miRNA-125a-5p, regulating Pink1-Mfn2-Parkin pathway, and regulating proinflammatory factors, vasoconstriction cytokine, and blood lipids.

Abstract	Yi Dian Hong, belonging to the Asteraceae family, finds widespread use in traditional Chinese medicine for its effectiveness in clearing heat, detoxifying, promoting blood circulation, reducing swelling, and cooling the blood. Modern medical research has revealed that Yi Dian Hong and its proprietary Chinese medicines possess biological functions such as inhibiting tumor-specific angiogenesis and regulating immune-related molecules. However, studies have identified that the primary component of Yi Dian Hong contains pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs), a toxic substance with potential risks to the liver, lungs, genes, and a propensity for carcinogenicity. Many countries impose strict controls on the content of PAs in herbal medicines and products. Unfortunately, China currently lacks relevant content standards, thereby introducing greater clinical application risks. To ensure the safety of clinical use of Yi Dian Hong, this review will analyze the risk associated with Yi Dian Hong and its proprietary Chinese medicines in clinical applications based on the PAs content in these medicines and provide recommendations.

Abstract	Aim of the study: To evaluate the therapeutic effect of SYNC in diarrhea irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-D) and explore its underlying mechanism through transcriptomic sequencing (RNA-Seq). Materials and methods: A rat model of IBS-D was constructed to elucidate the effects of SYNC. Abdominal withdrawal reflex (AWR), fecal water content (FWC), and recording body weight were calculated to assess visceral sensitivity in rats. Histopathological changes in the colon and alterations in mast cell (MC) count were determined. Immunohistochemistry was employed to assess mast cell tryptase (MCT) expression in rat colons. Serum levels of corticotropin-releasing Hormone (CRH), interleukin-6 (IL-6), calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), and 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) were quantified using ELISA. RNA-Seq of colon tissue was performed, followed by Gene Ontology (GO), Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analyses. Western blot analysis was conducted to quantify the expression levels of key proteins in the Nr4a3 pathway in the colon and hypothalamus tissues of rats. Results: SYNC alleviated visceral hypersensitivity and mood disorders in rats with IBS-D. Moreover, it was positively correlated with its dosage and the observed effects, such as the enhancement of the colon's mucosal lining condition and reduction in the number and activation of MCs within the model group. SYNC reduced the expression levels of factors related to the brain-gut axis and inflammatory markers in the bloodstream. RNA-Seq analysis indicated that SYNC down-regulated the expression of Nr4a3 and PI3K. These SYNC-targeted genes primarily played roles in immune regulation and inflammatory responses, correlating with the modulation of Nr4a3 and the PI3K/AKT pathway. Western blot analysis further confirmed SYNC's influence on inflammation-related MC activation by downregulating key proteins in the Nr4a3/PI3K pathway. Conclusions: SYNC inhibited mast cell activation and attenuated visceral hypersensitivity in the colon tissues of IBS-D rats. These effects were mediated by the Nr4a3/PI3K signaling pathway.

Abstract	Alzheimer's disease (AD), a main cause of dementia, is the most common neurodegenerative disease that is related to the abnormal accumulation of amyloid β (Aβ) proteins. Yi-Gan-San (YGS), a traditional herbal medicine, has been used for the management of neurodegenerative disorders and for the treatment of neurosis, insomnia and dementia. The aim of this study was to examine antioxidant capacity and cytotoxicity of YGS treatment by using 2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assays in vitro. We explored neuroprotective effects of YGS treatment in alleviating Aβ neurotoxicity of Drosophila melanogaster in vivo by comparing survival rate, climbing index, and Aβ expressions through retinal green fluorescent protein (GFP) expression, highly sensitive immunomagnetic reduction (IMR) and Western blotting assays. In the in vitro study, our results showed that scavenging activities of free radical and SH-SY5Y nerve cell viability were increased significantly (

Abstract	Background: Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) lack efficacious treatment. Jian-Pi-Yi-Shen formula (JPYSF) has demonstrated significant clinical efficacy in treating CKD for decades. However, its renoprotective mechanism has not been fully elucidated. This study aimed to determine whether JPYSF could delay renal fibrosis progression in CKD by restoring nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) biosynthesis. Methods: Adenine-diet feeding was used to model CKD in C57BL/6 mice. JPYSF was orally administered for 4 weeks. Human proximal tubular epithelial cells (HK-2) cells were stimulated with transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) with or without JPYSF treatment. Renal function of mice was assessed by serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen levels. Renal histopathological changes were assessed using Periodic acid-Schiff and Masson's trichrome staining. Cell viability was assessed using a cell counting kit-8 assay. NAD+ concentrations were detected by a NAD+/NADH assay kit. Western blotting, immunohistochemistry, and immunofluorescence were employed to examine fibrosis-related proteins and key NAD+ biosynthesis enzymes expression in the CKD kidney and TGF-β1-induced HK-2 cells. Results: JPYSF treatment could not only improve renal function and pathological injury but also inhibit renal fibrosis in CKD mice. Additionally, JPYSF reversed fibrotic response in TGF-β1-induced HK-2 cells. Moreover, JPYSF rescued the decreased NAD+ content in CKD mice and TGF-β1-induced HK-2 cells through restoring expression of key enzymes in NAD+ biosynthesis, including quinolinate phosphoribosyltransferase, nicotinamide mononucleotide adenylyltransferase 1, and nicotinamide riboside kinase 1. Conclusions: JPYSF alleviated renal fibrosis in CKD mice and reversed fibrotic response in TGF-β1-induced HK-2 cells, which may be related to the restoration of NAD+ biosynthesis.

Abstract	Objectives: Theophylline is a bronchodilator with a narrow therapeutic index and primarily metabolised by cytochrome P450 (CYP) 1A2. Xin-yi-san (XYS) is a herbal formula frequently used to ameliorate nasal inflammation. This study aimed to investigate the effects of XYS and its ingredient, imperatorin, on theophylline pharmacokinetics in rats. Methods: The kinetics of XYS- and imperatorin-mediated inhibition of theophylline oxidation were determined. Pharmacokinetics of theophylline were analysed. Comparisons were made with the CYP1A2 inhibitor, fluvoxamine. Key findings: XYS extract and its ingredient, imperatorin, non-competitively inhibited theophylline oxidation. Fluvoxamine (50 and 100 mg/kg) and XYS (0.5 and 0.9 g/kg) significantly prolonged the time to reach the maximum plasma concentration (tmax) of theophylline by 3-10 fold. In a dose-dependent manner, XYS and imperatorin (0.1-10 mg/kg) treatments significantly decreased theophylline clearance by 27-33% and 19-56%, respectively. XYS (0.9 g/kg) and imperatorin (10 mg/kg) significantly prolonged theophylline elimination half-life by 29% and 142%, respectively. Compared with the increase (51-112%) in the area under curve (AUC) of theophylline by fluvoxamine, the increase (27-57%) by XYS was moderate. Conclusions: XYS decreased theophylline clearance primarily through imperatorin-suppressed theophylline oxidation. Further human studies are essential for the dose adjustment in the co-medication regimen.

Abstract	Background: The Yi is the largest ethnic group in Yunnan Province (China), with a population of five million. The Yi people tend to live in mountainous areas, and their culture includes a unique dietary system for treating and protecting people against illnesses. Medicinal plants occupy an essential place in the Yi diet because they play a key role in health and the prevention and treatment of diseases. However, few studies have addressed these medicinal dietary plants and their importance in the Yi's daily lives. The aim of this study was to (1) investigate the medicinal dietary plants used by the Yi in Mile City, (2) document the traditional knowledge held about these plants, (3) identify species with important cultural significance to the Yi in Mile City, and (4) analyze the special preparation methods and consumption habits of these plants. Methods: Field investigations were performed in six villages in Mile City, Honghe Hani and Yi Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan, from July 2017 to May 2018. Information was collected using direct observation, semi-structured interviews, key informant interviews, individual discussions, and focus group discussions. The use value (UV) and frequency of utilization index (FUI) of these plants were analyzed. Plant samples and voucher specimens were collected for taxonomic identification. Results: This study documented 124 species belonging to 62 families and 102 genera. These plants included angiosperms (117 spp.), gymnosperms (3), pteridophytes (2), lichen (1), and fungus (1). The 20 species with the highest UV were noted as being particularly important to the Yi people's daily life in Mile City. The primary medicinal preparation method for plants recorded in the study was decoction. The most commonly used plant parts were fruits and roots. The most frequently used edible parts were fruits, and the most frequently used medicinal parts were roots. The medicinal parts were used to treat diseases such as rheumatism, edemas, kidney deficiency, spleen deficiency, gastritis, parasites, and so on. Conclusion: A wide variety of medicinal dietary plants are used by the Yi people in Mile City. Those plants, which have both rich nutritional and medicinal value, occupy an essential part of the Yi dietary and medicine culture. Ethnobotanical surveys of medicinal dietary plants provide a theoretical reference for the conservation and sustainable use of the plant resources and could contribute to the protection of the Yi food culture and traditional medicine in Mile City. In addition, this information provides a sound basis for developing and using Yi ethnic medicine and health products.
