    Abstract Ethnopharmacological relevance: Jin-Si-Wei (JSW), a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) formula, have cognitive enhancing effect and delay the memory decline in an animal model of AD, which has been reported. However, the therapeutic mechanism of JSW in the treatment of AD remains unclear.
    Aim of the study: This study aimed to verify the pharmacodynamics of JSW in the treatment of AD, and to explore its potential mechanism based on network pharmacology, molecular docking and experimental validation both in vitro and in vivo.
    Materials and methods: In this study, the underlying mechanism of JSW against AD was investigated by the integration of network pharmacology. Then, the core pathways and biological process of JSW were verified by experiment, including behavioral test and pathological and biochemical assays with 6-month-old APP
    Results: A Drug-Ingredient-Target network was established, which included 363 ingredients and 116 targets related to the JSW treatment of AD. The main metabolic pathway of JSW treatment for AD is neuroactive ligand-receptor interaction pathway, and biological processes are mainly involved in Aβ metabolic process. In vivo experiments, compared with APP/PS1 mice, the cognitive and memory ability of mice was significantly improved after JSW administration. In brain tissue of APP/PS1 mice, JSW could increase the contents of low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (LRP-1), enkephalinase (NEP) and Acetyl choline (ACh), and decrease the contents of Aβ
    Conclusions: JSW improves AD in APP/PS1 mice, and this therapeutic effect may be achieved in part by altering the neuroactive ligand-receptor interaction pathway.

    Abstract: ... with unfavorable outcomes in the absence of CD8+ cells. Jin-Fu-An decoction (JFAD) has been utilized as an adjunct ...

    Abstract Previous studies have demonstrated that tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) exhibiting an M2 phenotype contribute significantly to the pathogenesis of various cancer types, including lung cancer. Therapeutic approaches targeting TAMs have the potential to complement and synergize with conventional chemotherapy and immunotherapy. Through database analysis, it has become evident that the expression of CTNNB1 (β-catenin) is predominantly localized in macrophages, and its presence is associated with unfavorable outcomes in the absence of CD8+ cells. Jin-Fu-An decoction (JFAD) has been utilized as an adjunct to augment current clinical interventions. By conducting a network pharmacological analysis, we discovered that CTNNB1 is a significant target of JFAD. Experiments were conducted to examine the impact of JFAD on macrophage polarization both in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, the study investigated the combined effect of JFAD and cisplatin (CDDP) on mitigating adverse reactions and prolonging survival in subcutaneously transplanted tumor models and orthotopic lung cancer models. The percentage of M1 and M2 macrophages in the tumor and spleen were measured using flow cytometry. Additionally, the levels of β-catenin, M1, and M2 macrophage markers were measured by Western blotting and qPCR, while CD8 and iNOS protein expression was analyzed via immunohistochemistry. Our research findings indicate that JFAD has the ability to modulate the transformation of M2 macrophages into M1 macrophages, augment the anticancer efficacy of CDDP, and diminish the expression of cell-related markers in M2 cells. This regulatory effect may potentially be associated with the downregulation of β-catenin expression.

    Abstract With the global trend of aging, lacking of interpersonal communication and spiritual support and companionship have had a great impact on the mental health of older people living alone. This study examines the multifaceted impacts of engaging in tai chi, ba duan jin, and walking on the mental wellbeing of older people residing alone in urban areas. Additionally, this research aims to explore the association between tai chi, ba duan jin, and walking, and the mental health status of urban older people living alone, by considering the mediating influence of social participation and the moderating influence of the exercise environment. To do so, 1,027 older people living alone in six Chinese cities were investigated using the Physical Activity Rating Scale (PARS-3), the Geriatric Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12), the Social Participation Indicator System Scale, and the Exercise Environment Scale. SPSS 25.0 was utilized for conducting mathematical statistical analysis, specifically for doing linear regression analysis. Additionally, AMOS was employed to develop the study model. We found that a significant negative correlation between tai chi, ba duan jin, and walking and mental health status; among these, tai chi had the greatest impact on the mental health status of urban older people living alone. Social participation mediated the relationship between tai chi, ba duan jin, walking, and mental health status, and the exercise environment had a moderating effect on this relationship. The findings of this study indicate that tai chi, ba duan jin, and walking have a positive impact on the mental health of urban older people living alone, which can be influenced by the mediating efficacy of social participation and the moderating effect of the exercise environment.

    Abstract Background: Qing-Jin-Hua-Tan decoction (QJHTD) is a classic traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) prescription that first appeared in the ancient book Yi-Xue-Tong-Zhi. QJHTD has shown effectiveness for treating chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), although its mechanisms of action are still perplexing. The molecular mechanisms underlying the curative effects of QJHTD on COPD is worth exploring.
    Methods: In vitro
    Results: Increased cell viability and proliferation with decreased apoptosis rate and proinflammatory cytokine expression were noted after QJHTD intervention. QJHTD administration elevated PEFb and PIFb values, reduced MLI, and inhibited IL-1β, TNF-α, and c-Casp3 expression
    Conclusion: The therapeutic effect of QJHTD on COPD is dependent on regulating inflammatory signals and apoptosis-directed SL metabolism. These findings provide deeper insights into the molecular mechanism of action of QJHTD against COPD and justify its theoretical promise in novel pharmacotherapy for this multifactorial disease.

    Abstract The first mass migration in China took place at the end of the Western Jin, which resulted in the southward transfer of the Central Plains Culture and brought about huge social changes. Such social changes exerted significant impacts on the gentry of the Jin Dynasty. This paper used a huge volume of Classical Chinese legacy text of Jin gentry members. We used CC-LIWC to calculate frequencies of different word categories used in these text contents and conducted an analysis of variance to measure significant differences between the three groups. We found 16 categories of words with significant differences and calculated their effect sizes, such as tense markers (tensem),

    Abstract Multi-media environmental distribution of 21 pharmaceuticals in river water, coastal water, groundwater and sediments from the Jin River to adjacent marine embayment, Southeast China, was reported for the first time. All the detected 10 pharmaceuticals were antibiotics. Oxytetracycline (OTC), ciprofloxacin (CFC) and enrofloxacin (EFC) were the most ubiquitous antibiotics and could be detected in all water samples. EFC also showed the highest detection frequency (100%) in both riverine and coastal sediments. The detected antibiotics were more widely distributed in coastal environment of Asia, especially China, rather than Europe, USA and Australia. Sulfamethoxazole (SMX) showed stronger sorption onto sediments compared with other antibiotics due to its higher pseudo-partitioning coefficients (846-10,786 L kg

    Abstract: ... for the treatment of osteoporosis and rheumatoid arthritis. Jin-Tian-Ge (JTG), the artificial tiger bone powder ...

    Abstract Background: Tiger bone, which had been one of the most famous traditional Chinese medicine for 2000 years, was originate from the skeleton of Panthera tigris L., and had the actions of anti-inflammatory, analgesic, immune-regulatory and promoting healing of bone fracture, and was used for the treatment of osteoporosis and rheumatoid arthritis. Jin-Tian-Ge (JTG), the artificial tiger bone powder, were prepared from skeletons of several farmed animals to substitute the natural tiger bone, and has been used for the treatment of osteoporosis in clinical practice. However, the characteristic and mechanism of action of JTG for the therapy of osteoporosis need to be further evidenced by using modern pharmacological methods. The aim of this work is to investigate the bone-protective effects of JTG, and explore the possible underlying mechanism.
    Methods: Ovariectomy (OVX) rats were orally administrated JTG or estradiol valerate (EV) for 12 weeks. We investigated the pharmacodynamic effects of JTG on anti-bone loss in OVX rats, and also investigated the role of JTG in promoting osteogenesis and inhibiting osteoclast differentiation.
    Results: JTG increased the bone mineral density (BMD), improved the bone microarchitecture and biomechanical properties in ovariectomized rast, whereas reversed the bone high turnover in OVX rats as evidenced by serum biochemical markers in OVX rats. JTG increased osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs in vitro, and up-regulated the expression of the key proteins of BMP and Wnt/β-catenin pathways. JTG also inhibited the osteoclastogenesis of BMM as evidenced by the alteration of the TRAP activity, F-actin construction and the expression of nuclear factor of activated T-cells cytoplasmic 1 (NFATc1), c-Fos, Cathepsin K (Ctsk) and matrix metallopeptidase 9 (MMP9) of OCs induced with RANKL and LPS, reduced the expression and phosphorylation of NF-κB in OCs.
    Conclusions: JTG prevented bone loss in OVX rats and increased osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs through regulation of the BMP and Wnt/β-catenin pathway, inhibited osteoclastogenesis by suppressing the NF-κB pathway, suggesting that JTG had the potentials for prevention and treatment of osteoporosis by modulating formation and differentiation of osteoblast and osteoclast.

    Abstract Traditional Chinese medicine theory indicates that Yu Jin Pulvis (YJP) could prevent liver fibrosis progression and this has been verified in liver fibrosis patients. However, the mechanism underlying the protective effects of YJP against liver fibrosis remains unclear. While different signaling pathways are involved in liver fibrosis progression, mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and phosphoinositide-3-kinase-protein kinase B/Akt (PI3K/Akt) are the most crucial. To determine whether YJP regulates these signaling pathways to prevent liver fibrosis, we used a mouse model of liver fibrosis induced by intraperitoneal injection of carbon tetrachloride (CCl

The detected antibiotics were more widely distributed in coastal environment of Asia, especially China, rather than Europe, USA and Australia. Sulfamethoxazole (SMX) showed stronger sorption onto sediments compared with other antibiotics due to its higher pseudo-partitioning coefficients (846–10,786 L kg⁻¹). The discharged wastewater and aquaculture were the main sources of antibiotics in the multi-media environment. Risk assessment indicated that CFC and SMX posed high risks to Microcystis aeruginosa and Synechococcus leopolensis in river water, coastal water and groundwater.
