    Abstract Ethnopharmacological relevance: Shi Wei Ru Xiang powder (SWR) is a traditional Tibetan medicinal formula with the effect of dispelling dampness and dispersing cold. In clinical practice, SWR is generally used for the treatment of hyperuricemia (HUA). However, its exact pharmacological mechanism remains unclear.
    Aims of the study: To preliminarily elucidate the regulatory effects and possible mechanisms of SWR on hyperuricemia using network pharmacology and experimental validation.
    Materials and methods: A mouse model of hyperuricemia was used to evaluate the alleviating effect of SWR on hyperuricemia. The major components of SWR were acquired by UPLC-Q/TOF-MS. The potential molecular targets and associated signaling pathways were predicted through network pharmacology. The mechanism of action of SWR in ameliorating hyperuricemia was further investigated by pharmacological evaluation.
    Results: Mice with hyperuricemia and renal dysfunction were ameliorated by SWR. The 36 components of SWR included phenolic acids, terpenoids, alkaloids and flavonoids were identified. Network pharmacological analysis showed the involvement of the above compounds, and 115 targets were involved to treat hyperuricemia, involving multiple biological processes and different signaling pathways. Pharmacological experiments validated that SWR ameliorated hyperuricemic nephropathy in mice by modulating the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway, nuclear factor kappaB (NF-κB) signaling pathway and NOD-like receptor signaling pathway.
    Conclusion: MAPK signaling pathway, NF-κB signaling pathway and NOD-like receptor signaling pathway play important roles in the therapeutic effects of SWR on hyperuricemia.

    Abstract This study aimed to investigate the effects of dietary beta-hydroxy beta-methyl butyrate (HMB) supplementation on muscular lipid metabolism in Bama Xiang mini-pigs. Thirty-two piglets (8.58 ± 0.40 kg, barrow) were selected and fed a basal diet supplemented either with 0 (control), 0.13%, 0.64%, or 1.28% HMB for 60 days. Throughout the experiments, they had free access to clean drinking water and diets. Data of this study were analyzed by one-way ANOVA using the SAS 8.2 software package, followed by a Tukey's studentized range test to explore treatment effects. The results showed that compared to the control, 0.13% HMB decreased the intramuscular fat (IMF) content and increased polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) in

    Abstract Ethnopharmacological relevance: Mu-Xiang-You-Fang (MXYF) is a classic prescription of Hui medicine. It is composed of five herbs and has been used to treat ischemic stroke for many years. However, the potential pharmacological mechanisms of MXYF remain unclear. The present research is aimed to investigate the protective effect and possible mechanisms of MXYF treatment in an in vitro model of cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury.
    Materials and methods: An oxygen-glucose deprivation and reperfusion (OGD/R) model of PC12 cells was established. The effect of MXYF on the cell viability after OGD/R injury was determined using a cell counting kit (CCK-8) assay. The colorimetric method was used to determine the lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) leakage rate. The calcium concentration was determined by the chemical fluorescence method, and mitochondrial membrane potential was determined using flow cytometry. Monodansylcadaverine (MDC) staining and electron microscopic analysis were then conducted to detect autophagy after oxygen-glucose deprivation and reperfusion in PC12 cells. Immunofluorescence and western blot analyses were used to detect the expression of proteins associated with autophagy.
    Results: It was found that MXYF (1, 2, 4 μg/mL) could significantly increase cell viability and mitochondrial membrane potential and decrease the calcium concentration and LDH release rate in PC12 cells. After OGD/R injury in PC12 cells, the number of autophagosomes and autophagolysosome significantly increased. MXYF (4 μg/mL) inhibited the autophagy induced by OGD/R and inhibited the expression of LC3, beclin1, p-AMPK, and ULK1. In contrast, the expression of p-mTOR, p-p70s6k, and p62 was significantly enhanced.
    Conclusions: These findings suggest that MXYF inhibits autophagy after OGD/R-induced PC12 cell injury through the AMPK-mTOR pathway. Thus, MXYF might have therapeutic potential in treating ischemic stroke.

    Abstract Background/objectives: This study aimed to establish a mother and child cohort in the Chinese population, and investigate human breastmilk (HBM) composition and its relationship with maternal body mass index (BMI) and infant growth during the first 3 mon of life.
    Subjects/methods: A total of 101 Chinese mother and infant pairs were included in this prospective cohort. Alterations in the milk macronutrients of Chinese mothers at 1 mon (T1), 2 mon (T2), and 3 mon (T3) lactation were analyzed. HBM fatty acid (FA) profiles were measured by gas chromatography (GC), and HBM proteomic profiling was achieved by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry (MS).
    Results: During the first 3 mon of lactation (
    Conclusion: This study provides additional evidence to the Chinese HBM database, and further knowledge of FA function. It also helps to establish future maternal strategies that support the healthy growth and development of Chinese infants.

    Abstract This study aimed to investigate the effects of dietary beta-hydroxy beta-methyl butyrate (HMB) supplementation on muscular lipid metabolism in Bama Xiang mini-pigs. Thirty-two piglets (8.58 ± 0.40 kg, barrow) were selected and fed a basal diet supplemented either with 0 (control), 0.13%, 0.64%, or 1.28% HMB for 60 days. Throughout the experiments, they had free access to clean drinking water and diets. Data of this study were analyzed by one-way ANOVA using the SAS 8.2 software package, followed by a Tukey’s studentized range test to explore treatment effects. The results showed that compared to the control, 0.13% HMB decreased the intramuscular fat (IMF) content and increased polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) in Longissimus thoracis muscle (LTM), and increased the n3 PUFAs in soleus muscles (SM, p < 0.05). Moreover, HMB supplementation led to alterations in the mRNA expression of genes related to lipid metabolism. Serum metabolome profiling showed that in both LTM and SM of Bama Xiang mini-pigs, N -Methyl- l -glutamate was positively correlated with SFA and nummularine A was negatively correlated with C18:3n3 PUFA ( p < 0.05). Therefore, N -Methyl- l -glutamate and nummularine A might be potential biomarkers of the HMB-supplemented group. These results suggested that dietary HMB supplementation could decrease the IMF content and increase n3 PUFAs as well as regulate the related metabolites ( N -Methyl- l -glutamate and nummularine A) in the serum of pigs.
