    Abstract Ethnopharmacological relevance: Jin-Gui-Shen-Qi Wan (JGSQW) is a traditional Chinese medicine formula that has been traditionally used to alleviate urinary system ailments such as frequent urination and polyuria. Clinical studies have indicated that when combined with hypoglycaemic drugs, JGSQW exhibits a synergistic effect and can improve diabetic nephropathy (DN), yet its underlying mechanism and targets remain unclear.
    Aim of the study: This study aims to investigate the therapeutic efficacy of JGSQW and its underlying mechanisms using a DN db/db mouse model.
    Materials and methods: Ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry was utilized to analyse the primary active compounds, blood levels, and pharmacokinetics of JGSQW. Additionally, the therapeutic effects of JGSQW and metformin on blood glucose levels, lipid levels, renal function, and renal pathology in diabetic nephropathy mice were investigated using a db/db mouse model. Proteomic analysis was carried out to identify the primary target of JGSQW in treating DN. The mechanism of action was verified by western blotting, immunohistochemistry, and immunofluorescence. Then, molecular docking and molecular dynamics, transfection, drug affinity responsive target stability (DARTS) assay and cell thermal migration assay (CETSA) further validated the targeted binding effect.
    Results: JGSQW combined with metformin significantly improved the blood glucose levels, blood lipids, renal function, and renal pathology of DN mice. JGSQW mainly exerted its therapeutic effect on DN by targeting major histocompatibility complex class II (MHC class II) molecules. Immunohistochemistry results showed that JGSQW inhibited the expression of collagen I, fibronectin, and alpha smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) expression. Immunofluorescence and Western blot results showed that JGSQW inhibited the expression of H2-Ab1 and H2-Aa, which are MHC class II molecules, thereby suppressing CD4
    Conclusions: JGSQW combined with metformin may have a synergistic effect to alleviates renal fibrosis in diabetic nephropathy by downregulating immune complex MHC class II molecules and attenuating the antigen presentation effect of MHC class II on CD4.

    Abstract Background: Zuo Gui Wan
    Methods: We used high-glucose loaded 2-cell stage mouse embryos as a model and took advantage of single-cell RNA sequencing technology to analyze the transcriptome of the model with or without ZGW. Differential gene expression analysis was performed with DESeq2.
    Results: High glucose can downregulate genes in the ribosome pathway, while ZGW can reverse this inhibition and as a result prevent embryo cell death caused by high glucose. Furthermore, high glucose can affect sugar metabolism and influence mitochondrial function, but ZGW can promote sugar metabolism via the tricarboxylic acid cycle mainly through upregulating the genes in the respiratory chain and oxidative phosphorylation.
    Conclusions: ZGW had a protective effect on embryonic cell death caused by glucose loading. The reversion of inhibition of ribosome pathway and regulation of mitochondrial energy metabolism are main effects of ZGW on high-glucose loaded embryos. This research not only revealed the global gene regulation changes of high glucose affecting 2-cell stage embryos but also provided insight into the potential molecular mechanisms of ZGW on the IGT model.

    Abstract Modified starch is increasingly applied in the meat industry as an effective functional ingredient to provide meat products with the desired textural properties and appearance. This study aimed to investigate the effects of incorporating tapioca acetylated distarch phosphate (TADSP) or corn acetylated distarch phosphate (CADSP) on the gel properties and in vitro digestibility of Chinese-style meatballs known as kung-wan. The results showed that TADSP and CADSP significantly enhanced the textural properties of kung-wan in a dose-dependent manner (P < 0.05), as well as enhanced the rheological behavior of meat batters. TADSP resulted in a denser meat protein gel network compared to CADSP, primarily because the lower pasting temperature of TADSP made it gelatinize earlier and more completely during heating than CADSP and subsequently filled in the meat protein gel network. The intermolecular forces observed in kung-wan with TADSP or CADSP were hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions. Furthermore, the protein digestibility of kung-wan was increased with higher levels of TADSP and CADSP (P < 0.05). Notably, kung-wan with TADSP exhibited significantly higher protein digestibility than those with CADSP at the same level (P < 0.05). Our results offer valuable insights into the potential application of acetylated distarch phosphate in kung-wan.

    Abstract Ethnopharmacological relevance: Threatened abortion is a common disease among women of childbearing age. Its high incidence rate and unclear etiology, seriously threaten women's physical and mental health. Shoutai Wan (STW) is a traditional Chinese medicine decoction for treating abortion. It has a long history of treating threatened abortion by tonifying the kidney and calming the fetus. However, the mechanism of STW remains unclear.
    Aim of study: To study the mechanism and potential benefit of STW in pregnant mice with hydrocortisone and mifepristone-induced threatened abortion.
    Materials and methods: The STW compounds were identified using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis. STW-H, STW-M, or STW-L was separately given 3 mg/ml, 1.5 mg/ml and 0.75 mg/ml STW in the morning, and 2 mg/ml hydrocortisone in the afternoon from gestation day (D) 1-9 and once with 0.4 mg/kg mifepristone on D10. Didroxyprogesterone (0.1 mg/ml) and equal dose pure water were used to replace STW in didroxyprogesterone (DYD) group and model group respectively. The control group used pure water to replace STW, hydrocortisone, and mifepristone. We performed morphological and histological analyses of the maternal-fetal interface on day 10.
    Results: The embryo loss rate in the STW-H and DYD groups was lower than that in the model group. Hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining suggested that the morphology of maternal-fetal interface was improved in the STW-H and DYD groups. Immunohistochemical (IHC), Quantitative Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reactionstaining (qRT-PCR), and Western blot (WB) results indicated that HIF-1α expression in the maternal-fetal interface of the STW-H and DYD groups was higher than that in model group. The activities of HK, PKM, LDH and the concentration of lactic acid in the STW-H and DYD groups were higher than those in model group. Furthermore, the protein and mRNA levels of HK2, PKM2, LDHA, MCT4, and GPR81 were higher in the STW-H and DYD groups than those in the model group.
    Conclusions: STW can reduce the pregnancy loss rate by regulating the glycolysis balance at the maternal-fetal interface of kidney deficiency threatened abortion model mice.

    Abstract The effects and mechanism of incorporation of cross-linked tapioca starch (CTS) or acetylated tapioca starch (ATS) on the gel properties and in vitro digestibility of kung-wan (a Chinese-style meatball) were evaluated. The results indicated that incorporation of either CTS or ATS significantly enhanced the gel properties of kung-wan in a dose-dependent manner (P < 0.05), as well as the rheological properties of meat batter. Moreover, hydrogen bonds and electrostatic interaction were the major intermolecular forces in kung-wan when incorporated with CTS or ATS. Meanwhile, CTS and ATS acted as fillers in the meat protein gel matrix, which was further verified by the microstructure of kung-wan. However, CTS produced a more uniform and dense meat protein gel network than ATS, which was mainly due to its limited swelling characteristics. In addition, the incorporation of CTS or ATS significantly increased the in vitro digestibility of protein in kung-wan with increasing level of addition (P < 0.05). However, no significant differences in protein digestibility were detected between the CTS and ATS groups at the same addition level (P > 0.05). Our results provided some critical points for the actual application of modified tapioca starch to promote the quality profiles of kung-wan.

    Abstract Background: Jin-Gui-Shen-Qi Wan (JGSQ) has been used in China for thousands of years to treat various ailments, including frequent urination, blurred vision, and soreness in the waist and knees. It has traditional therapeutic advantages in improving eye diseases.
    Aim of the study: Clinical studies have confirmed the therapeutic efficacy of JGSQ in improving diabetes and vision; however, its efficacy and pharmacological effects in treating diabetic retinopathy (DR) remain unclear. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the specific pharmacological effects and potential mechanisms of JGSQ in improving DR through a db/db model.
    Materials and methods: db/db mice were given three different doses of orally administered JGSQ and metformin for 8 weeks, and then PAS staining of the retinal vascular network patch, transmission electron microscopy, H&E staining, and TUNEL staining were performed to determine the potential role of JGSQ in improving DR-induced neuronal cell apoptosis. Furthermore, network pharmacology analysis and molecular docking were carried out to identify the main potential targets of JGSQ, and the efficacy of JGSQ in improving DR was evaluated through western blotting and immunofluorescence staining, revealing its mechanism of action.
    Results: According to the results from H&E, TUNEL, and PAS staining of the retinal vascular network patch and transmission electron microscopy, JGSQ does not have an advantage in improving the abnormal morphology of vascular endothelial cells, but it has a significant effect on protecting retinal ganglion cells from apoptosis. Through network pharmacology and molecular docking, AKT, GAPDH, TNF, TP53, and IL-6 were identified as the main core targets of JGSQ. Subsequently, through western blot and immunofluorescence staining, it was found that JGSQ can inhibit HIF-1α, promote p-AKT expression, and inhibit TP53 expression. At the same time, inhibiting the release of inflammatory factors protects retinal ganglion cells and improves apoptosis in DR.
    Conclusion: These results indicated that in the db/db DR mouse model, JGSQ can inhibit the expression of inflammatory cytokines and protect retinal ganglion cells from apoptosis, possibly by modulating the Akt/HIF-1α pathway.

    Abstract Background: During embryo implantation, the blastocyst exhibits a high capacity for aerobic glycolysis, which results in a unique microenvironment of high lactate/low pH at the maternal-fetal interface. Shoutai Wan (STW) is an effective Chinese herbal formula widely used in the clinical treatment of recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA). However, the specific molecular mechanism by which STW prevents abortion is yet to be elucidated.
    Methods: Female CBA/J mice were allocated into six groups randomly and then mated with BALB/c mice as the control group, DBA/2 mice as the RSA model, CBA/J×DBA/2 mice treated with dydrogesterone as the DQYT group, or CBA/J×DBA/2 mice treated with low, medium, and high-dose STW as the STW-L, STW-M, and STW-H groups, respectively. Drug administration started 14 days before mating and ended on the 14
    Results: The embryo loss rate and adverse pregnancy outcomes were significantly increased (
    Conclusion: STW can promote aerobic glycolysis in trophoblast cells of RSA mouse embryos, thereby improving the microenvironment of the maternal-fetal interface and enhancing embryo implantation.

    Abstract Ethnopharmacological relevance: In traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), Zuogui Wan (ZGW) is a classical prescription for senile disorders and delay aging. Modern studies show that ZGW promotes central nerve cell regeneration, prevents and cures osteoporosis, enhances the body's antioxidant capacity, regulates the body's immune function, and promotes mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) proliferation.
    Aim of the study: It has been shown that MSCs aging is closely associated with organism's aging and age-related disorders. The study aimed to define the effects of ZGW on the aging bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) and to identify the mechanisms of ZGW delaying BMSCs senescence.
    Materials and methods: Network pharmacology analysis combined with GEO data mining, molecular docking and experimental validation were used to evaluate the mechanisms by which ZGW delays MSCs senescence (MSCS). LC-MS was used for quality control analysis of ZGW.
    Results: PPI network analysis revealed that EGF, TNF, JUN, MMPs, IL-6, MAPK8, and MYC are components of the core PPI network. GO and KEGG analyses revealed that oxidative stress, regulation of response to DNA damage stimuli, and Wnt signaling were significantly enriched. GEO database validation also indicated that Wnt signaling closely correlated with MSCs aging. Molecular docking analysis of the top-13 active components in the "ZGW-Targets-MSCS" network indicated that most components have strong affinity for key proteins in Wnt signaling, suggesting that modulation of Wnt signaling is an important mechanism of ZGW activity against MSCS. Further experimental validation found that ZGW indeed regulates Wnt signaling and suppresses the expression of age-related factors to enhance cell proliferation, ameliorate DNA damage, and reduce senescence-related secretory phenotype (SASP) secretion, thereby maintaining multidirectional differentiation of rat BMSCs. Similar results were obtained using the Wnt inhibitor, XAV-939.
    Conclusions: Together, our data show that ZGW slows BMSCs aging by suppressing Wnt signaling.

    Abstract Zhibai Dihuang Wan (ZDW) is an eight-herbal formula of traditional Chinese medicine. Clinically, it regulated immune activity and was used to treat diabetes and renal disease. In this study, we aimed to explore the nephroprotective effect of ZDW in an aristolochic acid- (AA-) intoxicated zebrafish model. We used a green fluorescent kidney transgenic zebrafish to evaluate the nephroprotective effects of ZDW by recording subtle changes in the kidney. Our results demonstrated that ZDW treatment can attenuate AA-induced kidney malformations (60% for AA-treated, 47% for pretreatment with ZDW, and 17% for cotreatment ZDW with AA,
