    Abstract Background: Relapsed and refractory small cell lung cancer (SCLC) accounts for about 15% of all lung cancers. The prognosis of patients is poor. The 5-year survival rate is almost 0. The average survival time of patients who refuse to receive treatment is only 2-4 months. For patients with extensive-stage SCLC, the current first-line treatment regimens are mainly platinum-containing double-drug chemotherapy. Poside combined with cisplatin/carboplatin and irinotecan combined with cisplatin/carboplatin are commonly used clinical regimens for the treatment of patients with extensive-stage SCLC. Although SCLC is very sensitive to radiotherapy and chemotherapy, most patients will develop recurrence and metastasis after initial treatment. Therefore, it is necessary to study clinically effective therapeutic drugs for relapsed and refractory SCLC.
    Objective: To investigate the relationship between programmed death receptor-1 (programmed death receptor-1 (PD-1)) and programmed death receptor-ligand 1 (programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1)) inhibitors and Lung Cancer No. 1 efficacy and safety of Lung Cancer Fang No. 1 in the treatment of relapsed and refractory SCLC.
    Methods: 80 patients with refractory SCLC were selected and randomly divided into control group and treatment group with 40 cases in each group. Among them, the control group received PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor chemotherapy, and the treatment group received PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor chemotherapy combined with Lung Cancer Fang No. 1 treatment. The differences in immune and tumor marker levels, clinical efficacy, and prognostic complications between the two groups before and after treatment were observed and compared.
    Results: Before treatment, there was no significant difference in clinical improvement between the two groups. After treatment, the clinical symptom scores and body weight changes in the treatment group were significantly improved. The clinical symptom scores in the treatment group were lower than those in the control group, but the body weight changes were higher than those in the control group. The difference was statistically significant (
    Conclusion: PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor chemotherapy combined with Lung Cancer Fang No. 1 has a good and safe effect on SCLC patients. It has a good curative effect in improving the clinical symptoms of patients. It can stabilize the tumor, inhibit the development of lung cancer, improve the body's cellular immune function, adjust the level and expression of tumor markers, improve the body's material metabolism, and restore the balance of yin and yang in the body.

    Abstract Objective: To investigate the potential mechanism by which Shugan Huoxue Huayu Fang (SGHXHYF) ameliorates liver fibrosis.
    Methods: Liver fibrosis was induced in rats by intraperitoneal injection of carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) in peanut oil solution (40%, 3 mL/kg body weight) twice a week for 8 weeks. A normal control group received the same volume of peanut oil alone. During weeks 5-8, the CCl4-injected rat groups were administered saline (vehicle control), colchicine (0.1 mg/mL, 1 mg/kg, positive control), or SGHXHYF (0.1 mg/mL; 0.3, 0.6 and 1.2 mg/kg) once daily by oral gavage. Rats were sacrificed 24 h after the last treatment. Blood samples were collected for measurement of serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), albumin (ALB), collagen Ⅰ and collagen Ⅲ levels. Liver samples were analyzed by histopathological staining, Masson's staining of extracellular matrix proteins, and immune-ohistochemical staining of αsmooth muscle actin (α-SMA). TGF-β1/Smad protein and mRNA levels were analyzed by Western blot and quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction analysis, respectively. In vitro experiments were also performed using rat hepatic stellate cells (HSCs).
    Results: Compared with the control animals, CCl4-exposed rats exhibited elevated serum levels of ALT, AST, ALP, collagen I, and collagen III; reduced serum levels of ALB; and increased collagen deposition and αSMA expression in liver sections, reflecting liver fibrosis. CCl4 also increased expression of TGF-β1 and the activated (phosphorylated) forms of Smad2 and Smad3 but reduced expression of the negative regulator Smad7 in the liver. Notably, concomitant administration of SGHXHYF to CCl4-exposed rats was found to significantly reverse or abolish the pro-fibrotic effects of CCl4 in the liver and reduced serum transferase levels. Analysis of HSCs in vitro confirmed that, mechanistically, SGHXHYF inhibited activation of the TGF-β1/Smad signaling pathway by downregulating phosphorylated Smad2 and Smad3 and upregulating Smad7 levels.
    Conclusion: SGHXHYF ameliorated CCl4-induced liver fibrosis by inhibiting the TGF-β1/Smad signaling pathway. These findings suggest that SGHXHYF may have clinical utility for the treatment or prevention of liver fibrosis.

    Abstract Abstract Falls in late postmenopausal women with osteopenia usually cause fractures with severe consequences. This 36-month randomized, double-blind and placebo-controlled trial with a 10-year observational follow-up study aimed to investigate the long-term effect of herbal formula Bushen Yijing Fang (BSYJF) on fall risk in the late postmenopausal women with osteopenia. 140 late postmenopausal women (Femoral neck T-score, −2.5~−2 SD) were recruited and randomized to orally receive calcium carbonate 300 mg daily with either BSYJF or placebo for 36 months. The effect was further investigated for another 10-year follow-up. During the 36-month administration, there were 12 falls in BSYJF group and 28 falls in placebo group, respectively, indicating 64% lower risk of falls (RR 0.36 [95% CI, 0.18 to 0.71]; P = 0.004) in BSYJF group. During the 10-year follow-up, 36% lower fall risk (RR 0.64 [95% CI, 0.46 to 0.89]; P = 0.009) was observed in BSYJF group. No significant difference was found in safety profile between two groups. Thirty-six-month administration of BSYJF reduced fall risk with an increase in bone mass, and its latent effect on fall risk was continually observed in the 10-year follow-up in late postmenopausal women with osteopenia. This clinical trial was registered at Chinese clinical trial registry (ChiCTR-IOR-16008942).

    Abstract Ethnopharmacological relevance: Chang-Kang-Fang formula (CKF), a multi-herb traditional Chinese medicinal formula, has been clinically used for treatment of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). The mechanisms of CKF for treating IBS and the components that are responsible for the activities were still unknown.
    Aim of the study: To investigate the chemical profiles and effects of CKF on IBS model.
    Materials and methods: The chemical profiles of CKF were investigated by ultra performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UHPLC-Q/TOF-MS/MS). On colon irritation induced rat neonates IBS model, the influence of CKF on neuropeptides, including substance P (SP), calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) and 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), were measured by ELISA, and the effect on intestinal sensitivity was assessed based on the abdominal withdrawal reflex (AWR) scores. In addition, the activities of CKF against acetic acid-induced nociceptive responses and prostigmin methylsulfate triggered intestinal propulsion in mice were also evaluated.
    Results: 80 components were identified or tentatively assigned from CKF, including 11 alkaloids, 20 flavanoids, 4 monoterpenoids, 9 iridoid glycoside, 9 phenylethanoid glycosides, 10 chromones, 7 organic acid, 3 coumarins, 2 triterpene and 5 other compounds. On IBS rat model, CKF was observed to reduce AWR scores and levels of SP, CGRP, VIP and 5-HT. Moreover, CKF reduced the acetic acid-induced writhing scores at all dosages and reduced the intestinal propulsion ration at dosage of 7.5 and 15.0g/kg/d.
    Conclusions: CKF could alleviate the symptoms of IBS by modulating the brain-gut axis through increasing the production of neuropeptides such as CGRP, VIP, 5-HT and SP, releasing pain and reversing disorders of intestinal propulsion. Berberine, paeoniflorin, acteoside, flavonoids and chromones may be responsible for the multi-bioactivities of CKF.

    Abstract The tail suspension test (TST), forced swimming test (FST) and chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) model were used to evaluate the anti-depressant effect of supercritical CO2 extract from Compound Chaigui Fang (FFCGF). A nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)-based metabonomics combined with multivariate statistical analysis was performed to explore the mechanism of FFCGF. Rats were conducted by CUMS procedure for 28 days and drugs were administrated at the same time. The body weight, sucrose preference, crossings and rearings in open-field tests were evaluated and the urine was collected simultaneously. The metabonomic profiles of rats' urine were analyzed by NMR and potential biomarkers were searched by multivariate statistical analysis. The results showed that administration of FFCGF significantly decreasing the immobility time in FST and TST and improving rats' body weight, sucrose preference, crossings and rearings in CUMS, which were indication that the anti-depressant effect of FFCGF was abvious. Significant differences in the metabolic profile of the CUMS treated group and the control group were observed, which were consistent with the results of behavioral tests. Decreased levels of acetic acid, succinic acid, 2-oxidation glutaric acid and citric acid and increased glycine and pyruvic acid in urine were significantly affected by the CUMS procedure and the 6 biomarkers were reversed evidently after administration of FFCGF. These changes were suggestion that the anti-depressant mechanism of FFCGF was associated with energy metabolism, lipid metabolism and amino acid metabolism.

    Abstract Aim: To investigate whether the Chinese medicine Tong Xie Yao Fang (TXYF) improves dysfunction in an irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) rat model.
    Methods: Thirty baby rats for IBS modeling were separated from mother rats (1 h per day) from days 8 to 21, and the rectum was expanded by angioplasty from days 8 to 12. Ten normal rats were used as normal controls. We examined the effects of TXYF on defection frequency, colonic transit function and smooth muscle contraction, and the expression of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) and substance P (SP) in colonic and hypothalamus tissues by Western blot and RT-PCT techniques in both normal rats and IBS model rats with characterized visceral hypersensitivity.
    Results: Defecation frequency was 1.8 ± 1.03 in normal rats and 4.5 ± 1.58 in IBS model rats (P < 0.001). However, the defecation frequency was significantly decreased (3.0 ± 1.25 vs 4.5 ± 1.58, P < 0.05), while the time (in seconds) of colon transit function was significantly increased (256.88 ± 20.32 vs 93.36 ± 17.28, P < 0.001) in IBS + TXYF group rats than in IBS group rats. Increased colonic smooth muscle tension and contract frequency in IBS model rats were significantly decreased by administration of TXYF. Exogenous agonist stimulants increased spontaneous activity and elicited contractions of colon smooth muscle in IBS model rats, and all of these actions were significantly reduced by TXYF involving 5-HT and SP down-regulation.
    Conclusion: TXYF can modulate the activity of the enteric nervous system and alter 5-HT and SP activities, which may contribute to the symptoms of IBS.

    Abstract 72 microsatellite loci were isolated from a (GATA)₈ enriched genomic library of Schizothorax wangchiachii (Fang), an endemic fish species in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. A population of 32 wild captured individuals of this species was tested by these 72 primer pairs developed, 11 pairs of which exhibited polymorphic. The number of observed alleles per locus ranged from 2 to 7. Observed and expected heterozygosities ranged from 0.344 to 0.875 and from 0.289 to 0.875, respectively. No significant linkage disequilibrium was detected among the loci. One loci showed significant deviation from Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium and none was detected in linkage equilibrium. These microsatellite loci described for S. wangchiachii will be useful for future study on population structure, breeding, and conservation studies.
