    Abstract Purpose: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a disease characterized by frequent acute exacerbations (AEs), especially in severe and very severe cases. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Bu-fei Yi-shen granules (BYGs) for COPD.
    Patients and methods: We conducted a multicenter, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial of 348 COPD patients with GOLD 3-4 COPD. The patients were randomly assigned into experimental or control groups in a 1:1 ratio. Patients in the experimental group were prescribed BYG, while those in the control group were administered a placebo, orally, twice daily, with 5 days on and 2 days off per week for 52 weeks. The outcomes included AEs, pulmonary function, clinical signs and symptoms, dyspnea scores (mMRC), quality of life scores, and a 6-minute walk test (6MWT).
    Results: A total of 280 patients completed the trial, including 135 patients in the experimental group and 145 in the control group. Compared to the control group, significant differences were observed in frequencies of AEs (mean difference: -0.35; 95% CI: -0.61, -0.10;
    Conclusion: BYG, as compared to a placebo, could significantly reduce the frequencies of AEs and AE-related hospitalizations for GOLD 3-4 COPD patients. Clinical symptoms, treatment satisfaction, quality of life, and exercise capacity improved. There was no significant improvement in mortality and pulmonary function.

    Abstract Ethnopharmacological relevance: Fei-Yan-Qing-Hua decoction (FYQHD), derived from the renowned formula Ma Xing Shi Gan tang documented in Zhang Zhong Jing's "Treatise on Exogenous Febrile Disease" during the Han Dynasty, has demonstrated notable efficacy in the clinical treatment of pneumonia resulting from bacterial infection. However, its molecular mechanisms underlying the therapeutic effects remains elusive.
    Aim of the study: This study aimed to investigate the protective effects of FYQHD against lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP)-induced sepsis in mice and to elucidate its specific mechanism of action.
    Materials and methods: Sepsis models were established in mice through intraperitoneal injection of LPS or CRKP. FYQHD was administered via gavage at low and high doses. Serum cytokines, bacterial load, and pathological damage were assessed using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) detection, and hematoxylin and eosin staining (H&E), respectively. In vitro, the immunoregulatory effects of FYQHD on macrophages were investigated through ELISA, MIC, quantitative real-time PCR (Q-PCR), immunofluorescence, Western blot, and a network pharmacological approach.
    Results: The application of FYQHD in the treatment of LPS or CRKP-induced septic mouse models revealed significant outcomes. FYQHD increased the survival rate of mice exposed to a lethal dose of LPS to 33.3%, prevented hypothermia (with a rise of 3.58 °C), reduced pro-inflammatory variables (including TNF-α, IL-6, and MCP-1), and mitigated tissue damage in LPS or CRKP-induced septic mice. Additionally, FYQHD decreased bacterial load in CRKP-infected mice. In vitro, FYQHD suppressed the expression of inflammatory cytokines in macrophages activated by LPS or HK-CRKP. Mechanistically, FYQHD inhibited the PI3K/AKT/mTOR/4E-BP1 signaling pathway, thereby suppressing the translational level of inflammatory cytokines. Furthermore, it reduced the expression of HMGB1/RAGE, a positive feedback loop in the inflammatory response. Moreover, FYQHD was found to enhance the phagocytic activity of macrophages by upregulating the expression of phagocytic receptors such as CD169 and SR-A1.
    Conclusion: FYQHD provides protection against bacterial sepsis by concurrently inhibiting the inflammatory response and augmenting the phagocytic ability of immune cells.

    Abstract Objective: To predict and determine the mechanism through which Tiao-Bu-Fei-Shen (TBFS) formula improves glucocorticoid resistance in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), using network pharmacology, molecular docking technology, and
    Methods: The main active components and associated targets of TBFS were screened using the systems pharmacology database of traditional Chinese medicine database (TCMSP). The main COPD targets were retrieved from the Human Gene (GeneCards) and DrugBank databases. A protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed using the protein interaction platform STRING and Cytoscape 3.6.1. Gene ontology (GO) enrichment and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genome Pathway (KEGG) analyses were performed using the biological information annotation database Metascape. Molecular docking was performed using the AutoDock Vina software. THP-1 monocytes were treated with TBFS-containing serum and cigarette smoke extract (CSE) for 48 h, and cell proliferation in each group was determined using cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8). A COPD cell model was constructed by stimulating THP-1 monocytes with CSE for 12 h. A lentivirus vector for RNA interference of histone deacetylase 2 (HDAC2) gene was constructed and transfected into the THP-1 monocytes, and the transfection efficiency was verified using quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) and western blotting (WB). The expression of HDAC2 in each group of cells was detected using qPCR, and the expression of HDAC2, phosphoinositide-3 kinase (PI3K) p85
    Results: A total of 344 TBFS active components, 249 related drug targets, 1,171 COPD target proteins, and 138 drug and disease intersection targets were obtained. Visual analysis of the PPI network map revealed that the core COPD targets of TBFS were AKT1, IL-6, TNF, TP53, and IL1-

    Abstract Equine endurance competitions are long races over 1-2 days and horses can be eliminated in international competitions by FEI veterinarians for lameness at any time. Elimination rates due to lameness are high, affect the outcome of the races and commonly elicit objections to the decision from endurance competitors. The aims of this study were: (1) to assess the opinion of FEI official endurance veterinarians (OEVs) about the challenges in assessing lameness; (2) the occurrence of confrontations with riders when horses are eliminated from races due to lameness; (3) to assess OEVs’ thoughts about the adoption of user-friendly technology for objective gait evaluation to help detect, quantify and document lameness. All FEI OEVs were asked to complete a questionnaire. There were 157 responses, being most of the respondents from Europe (56.1%) or the Middle East (16.6%). For the majority of respondents, detection of lameness was considered challenging, even for experienced and well-trained veterinarians (57.3%). OEVs also considered it was often hard to classify horses as lame or sound (65.8%). Handlers not trotting the horse appropriately during gait evaluations was considered the most common problem compromising the evaluation (94.3%). Most OEVs (98.2%) responded that they had been confronted at least once by a rider or associate about the decision to eliminate a horse due to lameness. Most OEVs (71.3%) would be interested in having the support of user-friendly technology for objective gait evaluation (33.3% for all evaluations; 38.0% only when horses have more subtle gait abnormalities). The findings of this survey suggest that technology to objectively detect and quantify gait abnormalities during endurance competitions would be beneficial to support decisions made by OEVs when evaluating and or eliminating horses for lameness.

    Abstract Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a high-mortality disease and lacks effective pharmacotherapy. A traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) formula, Ning Fei Ping Xue (NFPX) decoction, was demonstrated to play a critical role in alleviating inflammatory responses of the lung. However, its therapeutic effectiveness in ARDS and active compounds, targets, and molecular mechanisms remain to be elucidated. The present study investigates the effects of NFPX decoction on ARDS mice induced by lipopolysaccharides (LPS). The results revealed that NFPX alleviated lung edema evaluated by lung ultrasound, decreased lung wet/Dry ratio, the total cell numbers of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF), and IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α levels in BALF and serum, and ameliorated lung pathology in a dose-dependent manner. Subsequently, UPLC-HRMS was performed to establish the compounds of NFPX. A total of 150 compounds in NFPX were characterized. Moreover, integrating network pharmacology approach and transcriptional profiling of lung tissues were performed to predict the underlying mechanism. 37 active components and 77 targets were screened out, and a herbs-compounds-targets network was constructed. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified from LPS-treated mice compared with LPS combined with NFPX mice. GO, KEGG, and artificial intelligence analysis indicated that NFPX might act on various drug targets. At last, potential targets, HRAS, SMAD4, and AMPK, were validated by qRT-PCR in ARDS murine model. In conclusion, we prove the efficacy of NFPX decoction in the treatment of ARDS. Furthermore, integrating network pharmacology, transcriptome, and artificial intelligence analysis contributes to illustrating the molecular mechanism of NFPX decoction on ARDS.

    Abstract: Paeonia 'Yang Fei Chu Yu' is one of the most popular and commercially valuable cultivars ...

    Abstract Paeonia 'Yang Fei Chu Yu' is one of the most popular and commercially valuable cultivars of herbaceous peony. The study was performed to explore propagation techniques by cuttings for the nursery industry. Results showed that the stem cuttings pretreated with 2000mgL⁻¹ indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) in quick-dip method got the best rooting traits (rooting percentage is 86.7%, root number is 23.1 and root length per rooted cutting is 6.4cm). Therefore pre-treatment with 2000mgL⁻¹ IBA is recommended. To establish the optimum cuttings' collection date and interpret better the relation between the rooting ability and the cutting material's initial physiological characteristics, three collection periods were designed after florescence and the stem cuttings' endogenous factors (nutrient reserves and hormones) were examined. The results showed stem cuttings collected at the 70th day after florescence rooted best, and then cuttings collected at the 40th day, while those taken at the 10th day worst. Among the three collection dates, the soluble carbohydrate level had no statistically significant difference, but its increasing concentration was positively related to the cuttings' rooting potential. The nitrogen level decreased with the delaying of cuttings' collection and the difference was significant. This tendency implicated the negative relation between the nitrogen level and the cuttings' rooting potential. Among the four determined endogenous plant hormones, both gibberellic acid (GA₃) and abscisic acid (ABA) content had no significant seasonal difference, while indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and zeatin riboside (ZR) content significantly varied with collection date. IAA content was the highest at the 10th day after florescence and subsequently significantly decreased with the delaying of cuttings' collection date, whereas ZR content exhibited the contrary tendency.
