    Abstract Background: Alleviating mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is crucial to delay the progression of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Jia-Wei-Kai-Xin-San (JWKXS) is applied for treating AD with MCI. However, the mechanism of JWKXS in the treatment of MCI is unclear. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the effect and mechanism of JWKXS in SAMP8 mice models of MCI.
    Methods: MCI models were established to examine learning and memory ability and explore the pathomechanisms in brain of SAMP8 mice at 4, 6, and 8 months. The mice were treated for 8 weeks and the effects of JWKXS on MCI were characterized through Morris water maze and HE/Nissl's/immunohistochemical staining. Its mechanism was predicted by the combination of UPLC-Q-TOF/MS and system pharmacology analysis, further verified with SAMP8 mice, BV2 microglial cells, and PC12 cells.
    Results: It was found that 4-month-old SAMP8 mice exhibited MCI. Two months of JWKXS treatment improved the learning and memory ability, alleviated the hippocampal tissue and neuron damage. Through network pharmacology, four key signaling pathways were found to be involved in treatment of MCI by JWKXS, including TLR4/NF-
    Conclusion: JWKXS treatment improved the learning and memory ability and conferred neuroprotective effects against MCI by inducing anti-inflammation and antiapoptosis.

    Abstract Si-Wei-Qing-Gan-Tang (SWQGT) is a Chinese medicine formula that is widely used as a folk remedy of herbal tea for the treatment of chronic hepatitis, like non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), around Ganzhou City (Jiangxi province, China). However, the underlying mechanisms of this formula against NASH are still unknown. This study aimed to explore the effect and mechanisms of SWQGT against NASH. A network pharmacology approach was used to predict the potential mechanisms of SWQGT against NASH. Then a rat model of NASH established by feeding the methionine and choline deficient (MCD) diet was used to verify the effect and mechanisms of SWQGT on NASH

    Abstract Aims: This study investigated the inactivation effect and kinetics of Bacillus coagulans and Geobacillus stearothermophilus spores suspended in lu-wei beef by combining high pressure (500 and 600 MPa) and moderate heat (70 and 80 °C or 80 and 90 °C).
    Methods and results: During pressurization, the temperature of pressure-transmitting fluid was tested with a K-type thermocouple, and the number of surviving cells was determined by a plate count method. The pressure come-up time and corresponding inactivation of Bacillus coagulans and G. stearothermophilus spores were considered during the pressure-thermal treatment. For the two types of spores, the results showed a higher inactivation effect in phosphate buffer solution than that in lu-wei beef. Among the bacteria evaluated, G. stearothermophilus spores had a higher resistance than B. coagulans spores during the pressure-thermal processing. One linear model and two nonlinear models (i.e. the Weibull and log-logistic models) were fitted to the survivor data to obtain relevant kinetic parameters, and the performance of these models was compared. The results suggested that the survival curve of the spores could be accurately described utilizing the log-logistic model, which produced the best fit for all inactivation data.
    Conclusions: The compression heating characteristics of different pressure-transmitting fluids should be considered when using high pressure to sterilize spores, particularly while the pressure is increasing. Spores can be inactivated by combining high pressure and moderate heat.
    Significance and impact of the study: The study demonstrates the synergistic inactivation effect of moderate heat in combination with high pressure in real-life food. The use of mathematical models to predict the inactivation for spores could help the food industry further to develop optimum process conditions.

    Abstract Objective: To observe metabolomic changes in urine of chronic superficial gastritis (CSG) patients with Pi-qi deficiency syndrome (PQDS) or Pi-Wei dampness-heat syndrome (PWDHS), thereby providing scientific evidence for syndrome typing of them.
    Methods: Urine samples were collected from CSG patients with PQDS/PWDHS and healthy volunteers, 10 in each group. Proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-NMR) based metabonomic analysis was performed on urine samples. Contents of related biomarkers were analyzed by principal component analysis (PCA), partial least square discriminant analysis (PLS-DA), and urivariate statistical analysis.
    Results: PLS-DA analysis showed that metabolites among CSG patients with PQDS/PWDHS and healthy volunteers could be mutually distinguished. Seven differentially identified metabolites were screened from urines of CSG patients with PQDS and healthy volunteers included glutamate, methionine, α-oxoglutarate, dimethylglycine, creatinine, taurine, and glucose. Four differentially identified metabolites were screened from urines of CSG patients with PWDHS and healthy volunteers included 2-hydroxybutyric acid, trimethylamine oxide, taurine, and hippuric acid. Eleven differentially identified metabolites were screened from urines of CSG patients with PQDS and PWDHS included fucose, β-hydroxybutyric acid, alanine, glutamate, methionine, succinic acid, citric acid, creatinine, glucose, hippuric acid, and lactic acid.
    Conclusion: The metabolic differences of CSG patients PQDS and PWDHS mainly manifested in glycometabolism, lipid metabolism, and amino acids catabolism, and 1H-NMR based metabonomics may be used in classified study of Chinese medical syndrome typing.

    Abstract Objective: To study the expressions of gastric mucosal proteins in chronic gastritis (CG) rats of Pi-Wei damp-heat syndrome (PWDHS), to investigate the pathogenesis correlated to CG rats of PWDHS, to observe the differential expressions of gastric mucosal proteins in CG rats of PWDHS, and to investigate the mechanisms of Sanren Decoction (SD) for treating CG rats of PWDHS.
    Methods: Totally 36 male SD rats were adaptable fed for 3 days and randomly divided into 3 groups, i.e., the normal control group, the CG of PWDHS rat model group (abbreviated as the model group), and the SD treatment group, 12 in each group. The CG of PWDHS rat model was prepared by composite factors. The gastric mucosal protein was separated using two-dimensional gel electrophoresis technique, and stained by Coomassie brilliant blue. The protein spots expressed differently were analyzed by PDquest 8.0 software. The protein spots expressed differently was identified by MALDI-TOF/TOF-MS.
    Results: The protein spots were 1 025 +/- 3 9, 994 +/- 51, 1 087 +/- 33 in the normal control group, the model group, and the SD treatment group respectively detected from two-dimensional gel electrophoresis profiles. Compared with the normal control group, there were 74 protein spots differentially expressed in the model group, 30 spots up-regulated and 44 spots down-regulated. Compared with the model group, there were 75 protein spots differentially expressed in the SD treatment group, 49 spots up-regulated and 26 spots down-regulated. Five protein spots differentially expressed were successfully identified, i.e., heat shock protein 72 (HSP72), heat shock protein 60 (HSP60), protein disulfide-isomerase (PDI), malate dehydrogenase (MDH), and unnamed protein.
    Conclusions: The pathogenesis of CG of PWDHS may be correlated to energy metabolism disturbance and stress. The mechanisms of SD for treating it may possibly adjust differential expressions of gastric mucosal proteins.

    Abstract Ba-wei-xi-lei powder is a classical herbal mixture, and is widely used for the treatment of oral ulcer and ulcerative colitis. This study aimed to explore the effect of Ba-wei-xi-lei powder with enema application on ulcerative colitis in rats. Ulcerative colitis was induced by immunization with rabbit's colonic mucosal protein emulsified with Completely Freund's Adjuvant. The mucosal inflammatory reaction and ulcer have been observed in the model rats. Characteristic changes of ulceractive colitis include that CD4 lymphocyte increased in peripheral blood while CD8 lymphocyte decreased; CD8 lymphocyte and TNF-alpha expression area increased in colonic mucosa, while CD4 lymphocyte decreased. Ba-wei-xi-lei powder and sulfasalazine with enema application could alleviate the pathological changes in the model rats. The results suggest that the pharmacological effects of Ba-wei-xi-lei powder on ulcerative colitis in rats are similar to the effect of sulfasalazine.
