    Abstract Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common digestive system cancers with high mortality rates worldwide. The main ingredients in Mu Ji Fang Granules (MJF) are alkaloids, flavonoids, and polysaccharides. MJF has been used in the clinical treatment of hepatitis, cirrhosis and HCC for more than 30 years. Few previous studies have focused on the mechanism of MJF on tumor immu-nology in the treatment of HCC.
    Aim: To explore the mechanism of action of MJF on tumor immunology in the treatment of HCC.
    Methods: The absorbable ingredients of MJF were identified using Molecule Network related to High Performance Liquid Chromatography-Electron Spray Ionization-Time of Flight- Mass Spectrometry, and hub potential anti-HCC targets were screened using network pharmacology and pathway enrichment analysis. Forty male mice were randomly divided into the Blank, Model, and MJF groups (1.8, 5.4, and 10.8 g/kg/d) following 7 d of oral administration. Average body weight gain, spleen and thymus indices were calculated, tumor tissues were stained with hematoxylin and eosin, and Interferon gamma (IFN-γ), Tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), Interleukin-2, aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), Fas, and FasL were measured by Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay. Relevant mRNA expression of
    Results: It was shown that MJF improved body weight gain and tumor inhibition rate in H22 tumor-bearing mice, protected immune organs and liver function, reduced the HCC indicator AFP, affected immunity and apoptosis, and up-regulated the TGF-β1/SMAD signaling pathway, by increasing the relative expression of TGF-β1, SMAD2, p-SMAD2 and SMAD4 and decreasing SMAD7, reducing immune factors TNF-α and IFN-γ, decreasing apoptosis cytokines Fas, FasL and
    Conclusion: MJF inhibits HCC by activating the TGF-β1/SMAD signaling pathway, and affecting immune and apoptotic cytokines, which may be due to MJF adjusting immune escape and apoptosis.

    Abstract: ... to cure. The traditional medicine Du Huo Ji Sheng Tang (DHJST) has been used for the treatment of KOA ...

    Abstract Background: Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) has a complex pathological mechanism and is difficult to cure. The traditional medicine Du Huo Ji Sheng Tang (DHJST) has been used for the treatment of KOA for more than one thousand years, but its mechanism for treating KOA has not been revealed. In our previous study, we confirmed that DHJST inhibited the activation of NLRP3 signaling in rats and humans. In the current study, we aimed to determine how DHJST inhibits NLRP3 to alleviate knee cartilage damage.
    Methods: Mice were injected with NLRP3 shRNA or Notch1-overexpressing adenovirus into the tail vein to construct systemic NLRP3 low-expressing or Notch1 high-expressing mice. Mice were injected with papain into the knee joint to replicate the KOA model. DHJST was used to treat KOA model mice with different backgrounds. The thickness of the right paw was measured to evaluate toe swelling. The pathohistological changes and the levels of IL-1β, MMP2, NLRP3, Notch1, collagen 2, collagen 4, HES1, HEY1, and Caspase3 were detected by HE staining, ELISA, immunohistochemical staining, western blotting, or real-time qPCR.
    Results: DHJST reduced tissue swelling and serum and knee cartilage IL-1β levels, inhibited cartilage MMP2 expression, increased collagen 2 and collagen 4 levels, decreased Notch1 and NLRP3 positive expression rates in cartilage, and decreased HES1 and HEY1 mRNA levels in KOA model mice. In addition, NLRP3 interference decreased cartilage MMP2 expression and increased collagen 2 and collagen 4 levels without affecting the expression levels of notch1, HES1 and HEY1 mRNA levels in the synovium of KOA mice. In KOA mice with NLRP interference, DHJST further reduced tissue swelling and knee cartilage damage in mice. Finally, Notch1-overexpressing mice not only showed more severe tissue swelling and knee cartilage degradation but also abolished the therapeutic effect of DHJST on KOA mice. Importantly, the inhibitory effects of DHJST on the mRNA expression of NLRP3, Caspase3 and IL-1β in the knee joint of KOA mice were completely limited after Notch1 overexpression.
    Conclusion: DHJST significantly reduced inflammation and cartilage degradation in KOA mice by inhibiting Ntoch1 signaling and its subsequent NLRP3 activation in the knee joint.

    Abstract Wind corridor blueprints are an essential reference for climate planning that takes into account zones of fresh cold air, air channels as well as heat island alleviation zones. This article addresses the matter of how to plan urban wind corridors more efficiently by proposing a “ventilation potential coefficient” (VPC) as well as providing an index for natural cold sources. The study additionally proposes a surface urban heat island (SUHI) index as a means of evaluating the severity of the heat island effect. Based on these three indexes, a new method of categorizing urban climatic zones, called “Climatopes”, is developed. Using the above methods, data from 2016 meteorological observation stations and Landsat8 satellites, as well as urban planning materials and basic geographical information on a scale of 1:2000 are used to create an Urban Climate Analysis Map (UCAnMap) and formulate a plan for the construction of wind corridors in the urban centre of Ji’nan. The results reveal that the intensity of urban heat islands in Ji’nan is closely related to a lack of natural cold sources, the specific layout of different types of land use as well as poor planning of urban “function zones”. Moreover, there is a significant correlation between the VPC and other factors such as surface roughness length, building height, the density of building frontal area and floor area ratios. The potential wind corridors could also be determined based on the VPC. Based on an UCAnMap composed of 11 Climatopes and background wind environments, this article ascertains that it would be possible to construct a network of 3 Level One corridors (each over 500 m wide) and 11 Level Two corridors (each over 80-m wide). Additionally, regulatory measures and protective legislation are proposed for the corridors, as well as for the city’s overall development.

    Abstract Despite the implementation of strict air pollution control measures in recent years, severe haze events were still encountered in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei (Jing-Jin-Ji) region during the winter 2016. In this work, seasonal differences in correlations between air pollution and geographic terrain, atmospheric dynamical and thermal structures, and PBL height over the Jing-Jin-Ji region in history and recent years were investigated and a comprehensive model of atmospheric factors affecting winter air pollution formation was proposed. We found that the distribution of PM

    Abstract: ... aerosol and stratus cloud over the Jing–Jin–Ji region in China to investigate the impact of ACI ...

    Abstract The representation of aerosol–cloud interaction (ACI) and its impacts in the current climate or weather model remains a challenge, especially for severely polluted regions with high aerosol concentration, which is even more important and worthy of study. Here, ACI is first implemented in the atmospheric chemistry model GRAPES_Meso5.1/CUACE by allowing for real-time aerosol activation in the Thompson cloud microphysics scheme. Two experiments are conducted focusing on a haze pollution case with coexisting high aerosol and stratus cloud over the Jing–Jin–Ji region in China to investigate the impact of ACI on the mesoscale numerical weather prediction (NWP). Study results show that ACI increases cloud droplet number concentration, water mixing ratio, liquid water path (CLWP), and optical thickness (COT), as a result improving the underestimated CLWP and COT (reducing the mean bias by 21 % and 37 %, respectively) over a certain subarea by the model without ACI. A cooling in temperature in the daytime below 950 hPa occurs due to ACI, which can reduce the mean bias of 2 m temperature in the daytime by up to 14 % ( ∼ 0.6 ∘ C) in the subarea with the greatest change in CLWP and COT. The 24 h cumulative precipitation in this subarea corresponding to moderate-rainfall events increases, which can reduce the mean bias by 18 %, depending on the enhanced melting of the snow by more cloud droplets. In other areas or periods with a slight change in CLWP and COT, the impact of ACI on NWP is not significant, suggesting the inhomogeneity of ACI. This study demonstrates the critical role of ACI in the current NWP model over the severely polluted region and the complexity of the ACI effect.
