    Abstract Ethnopharmacological relevance: Si Wei Jiang Huang Tang San (SWJHTS) is a traditional Tibetan medicine prescription for the treatment of urethritis, frequent urination, and urgency, composed of four traditional Chinese medicines: Curcumae longae rhizoma, Berberidis cortex, Tribuli fructus, and Phyllanthi fructus. However, whether SWJHTS exhibits hypoglycemic efficacy and its specific mechanism remain unclear.
    Aim of the study: In this study, we aimed to investigate the anti-diabetic effects of SWJHTS and elucidate the underlying mechanism.
    Materials and methods: HPLC-MS method was used to identify the key components of four kinds of traditional Chinese medicine (Curcumae longae rhizoma, Berberidis cortex., Tribuli fructus, and Phyllanthi fructus) which composed SWJHTS and determine their structure. Normal mice and 145 mg/kg STZ-induced type 1 diabetic mice were treated with three doses of SWJTHS by oral gavage. Body weight, 24h food and water intake, fasting blood glucose, glucose tolerance and other indicators were measured to evaluate the hypoglycemic effect of SWJHTS. OMIM, Genecards and other databases were used to collect targets of diabetes, and HPLC-MS results and TCMSP database information were used to collect drug component targets. Bioinformatics methods such as pathway enrichment analysis and molecular docking were used to predict the key targets of SWJHTS. The gene and protein expressions of HIF1α and ERK signaling pathways in HepG2 cells treated with SWJHTS were detected by RT-PCR and Western blot.
    Results: A total of 181 components were identified, including curcumin, palmatine, and berberine, etc. The in vivo studies showed that SWJHTS could significantly lower fasting blood glucose levels and improve the symptoms of polydipsia, polyphagia, and polyuria in diabetic mice. Furthermore, we identified HIF1α as the potential key target of SWJHTS against diabetes utilizing network pharmacology approach and in silico molecular docking. Subsequently, we experimentally confirmed that SWJHTS could suppress the high glucose-induced upregulation of HIF1α expression, which mediated the glucose consumption in HepG2 cells. The ERK signaling pathway was further found to be activated by the SWJHTS as the upstream of HIF1α.
    Conclusions: SWJHTS can improve glucose metabolism by targeting the ERK/HIF1α signaling pathway; hence might be a prospective anti-diabetic drug for diabetic patients as traditional Tibetan medicine.

    Abstract Background: Wei-Tong-Xin (WTX) is a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) that has been screened and improved in accordance with the famous ancient Chinese formula "Wan Ying Yuan". It has been shown to be clinically effective in treating gastric dysmotility, but its underlying molecular mechanism remains unclear.
    Purpose: This study primarily dealt with the effects and mechanisms of WTX on functional dyspepsia (FD) induced by chemotherapeutic drug cisplatin (CIS).
    Methods: Firstly, the UPLC fingerprint and multi-component determination of WTX were established. In vivo, gastrointestinal motility of mice was detected by charcoal propulsion test. Besides, H&E, western blot and qRT-PCR were performed to evaluate the occurrence of gastric antral inflammation. ROS-DHE staining was used to detect ROS levels. Further, the gut microbiota were subjected to sequencing by 16S rRNA, and the levels of bacterial metabolites short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) were detected by GC-MS and Limulus kits, respectively. The levels of GLP-1 in gastric antrum were assessed by ELISA kits. Finally, siRNA-FFAR2 experiment was performed in Raw 264.7 cells.
    Results: 23 common peaks were obtained from the UPLC fingerprint, and the content of 10 target components was determined. WTX increased the relative abundance of Firmicutes and decreased the number of Verrucomicrobia, accompanied by changes in the levels of SCFAs and LPS. By mediating the expression changes of free fatty acid receptor 2 (FFAR2) and toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), WTX inhibited the phosphorylation of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB), JNK and P38, decreased the levels of IL-1β, inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and ROS, increased the expressions of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), IL-4 and arginase-1 (Arg-1). Decreased expressions of glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) induced by WTX promoted gastric motility in FD mice. In vitro, siRNA-FFAR2 of Raw 264.7 cells eliminated the effects of WTX on TLR4 signaling pathway.
    Conclusions: In this study, the chemical profile of WTX was first reported. Based on remodeling the gut microbiota structure and adjusting the levels of metabolites (SCFAs and LPS), WTX inactivated the TLR4/MyD88 signaling pathway to inhibit the occurrence of gastric antral inflammation, which reversed the inhibitory effect of GLP-1 on gastric motility, and improved CIS-induced FD symptoms.

    Abstract Aim: Liu-Wei-Luo-Bi (LWLB) granules was a Chinese compound prescription for treating diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN). The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of LWLB granules on diabetic mice with peripheral neuropathy and to elucidate the potential mechanism based on an untargeted metabolomics approach.
    Methods: One hundred forty db/db mice were randomly divided into seven groups: the Control group, DPN group, Mudan (MD) granules group, Epalrestat (Epa) group, and the LWLB low, medium, or high dose (LW-l, LW-m, or LW-h) group. After 12 weeks of treatment, body weight, blood glucose, mechanical pain threshold, motor conduction velocity (MCV), sensory conduction velocity (SCV), and Pathological Organization of the Sciatic and Caudal Nerves in mice were measured. Serum samples were collected for untargeted metabolomics analysis using liquid chromatography quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (LC-QTOF-MS) and multivariate statistics. Disease-related pathways were screened out with function enrichment analyses of candidate biomarkers.
    Results: LWLB granules can improve the peripheral neuropathy of type 2 diabetic mice with peripheral nerve conduction disorders, mainly through significantly improving the nerve conduction velocity (P < 0.05) and lowering the mechanical pain threshold (P < 0.05). A total of 43 metabolites were identified as potential biomarkers related to the therapeutic effect of LWLB granules. Fifty, 4, and 26; 23, 4, and 22; and 24, 1, and 16 biomarkers were discovered in the LW-l, LW-m, and LW-h groups at the 4th, 6th, and 12th weeks, respectively. Five, three, seven, five, and four metabolic pathways were found in MD, Epa, LW-l, LW-m, and LW-h groups, respectively. The arginine biosynthesis pathway is the overlapping pathway in LW-l, LW-m, and LW-h groups.
    Conclusion: LWLB granules have an obvious neuroprotective effect on diabetic peripheral neuropathy, and the metabolism mechanism of LWLB is mainly related to the arginine biosynthesis pathway on diabetic db/db mice with peripheral neuropathy.

    Abstract We describe Arge bella Wei & Du sp. nov., a large and beautiful species of Argidae from south China, and report its mitochondrial genome based on high-throughput sequencing data. We present the gene order, nucleotide composition of protein-coding genes (PCGs), and the secondary structures of RNA genes. The nearly complete mitochondrial genome of A. bella has a length of 15,576 bp and a typical set of 37 genes (22 tRNAs, 13 PCGs, and 2 rRNAs). Three tRNAs are rearranged in the A. bella mitochondrial genome as compared to the ancestral type in insects: trnM and trnQ are shuffled, while trnW is translocated from the trnW-trnC-trnY cluster to a location downstream of trnI. All PCGs are initiated by ATN codons, and terminated with TAA, TA or T as stop codons. All tRNAs have a typical cloverleaf secondary structure, except for trnS1. H821 of rrnS and H976 of rrnL are redundant. A phylogenetic analysis based on mitochondrial genome sequences of A. bella, 21 other symphytan species, two apocritan representatives, and four outgroup taxa supports the placement of Argidae as sister to the Pergidae within the symphytan superfamily Tenthredinoidea.

    Abstract Abstract Background Systemic glucocorticoids are effective for the management of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) exacerbation but have serious adverse effects. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) can bring additional benefits to these patients but has few adverse effects. The present study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Jia Wei Bushen Yiqi (JWBY) formulas in patients who suffer from COPD exacerbations and to investigate whether the short-term (5-days) systemic glucocorticoid therapy is non-inferior to the long-term (9-day) regime. Methods In this multi-center, randomized, double-blinded trial, eligible inpatients with COPD exacerbation are randomly assigned to four groups (A, B, C, and D). Group A will receive placebo plus 5-day prednisone, group B will receive placebo plus 9-day prednisone, group C will receive JWBY formulas plus 5-day prednisone, and group D will receive JWBY formulas plus 9-day prednisone. The primary outcomes are the time interval to the patient’s next exacerbation during a 180-day following up and the COPD assessment test (CAT) during treatment. Secondary outcomes include lung function, TCM syndrome assessment, laboratory tests, and safety. The changes of the hypothalamic pituitary adrenaline axis (HPA axis) and inflammatory cytokine will be measured as well. Discussion By demonstrating the advantages of utilizing TCM and an appropriate duration of systemic glucocorticoids, this effectiveness comparison trial will provide new references to physicians on how to improve the management of COPD exacerbation. The results of HPA axis and inflammation cytokine measurements will shed light on the molecular mechanisms and entail further mechanism studies. Trial registration www.chictr.org.cn ChiCTR1900023364.

    Abstract Jia-Wei-Qi-Fu-Yin (JWQFY) is a newly developed anti-Alzheimer's disease (AD) prescription modified from a classical traditional Chinese medicine formula, Qi-Fu-Yin (QFY). However, a systematic understanding of its chemical constituents and molecular mechanisms is still elusive. To address this problem, comprehensive chemical profiling followed by network pharmacology-based analysis of JWQFY was performed. Firstly, a total of 136 compounds were characterized by high performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-QTOF MS), 17 of them were specifically identified in JWQFY comparing with QFY. Seventy compounds were further quantified via a validated HPLC coupled with triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometry (QQQ MS) method. Then the protein targets of the seventy compounds were gathered from public databases for network construction. As a result, fifty-seven compounds were filtered, which interacted with 655 targets. Thirty-four of them were mapped into the KEGG pathway of AD, indicating JWQFY might exert anti-AD effects by anti-inflammation, neuronal apoptosis intervening, Aβ production inhibition and phosphorylating tau protein moderating. Furthermore, in the compound-target-AD network, a list of hub compounds and hub targets was identified based on their topological features, including the degree, node betweenness and closeness. Four of the hub compounds were specifically originated from JWQFY, supporting the modification rationality of this formula. This study provided a scientific basis for understanding the bioactive compounds and the multi-target mechanism of JWQFY.
