    Abstract Cisplatin is one of the first line anti-cancer drugs prescribed for treatment of solid tumors; however, the chemotherapeutic drug resistance is still a major obstacle of cisplatin in treating cancers. Yu Ping Feng San (YPFS), a well-known ancient Chinese herbal combination formula consisting of Astragali Radix, Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma and Saposhnikoviae Radix, is prescribed as a herbal decoction to treat immune disorders in clinic. To understand the fast-onset action of YPFS as an anti-cancer drug to fight against the drug resistance of cisplatin, we provided detailed analyses of intracellular cisplatin accumulation, cell viability, and expressions and activities of ATP-binding cassette transporters and glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) in YPFS-treated lung cancer cell lines. In cultured A549 or its cisplatin-resistance A549/DDP cells, application of YPFS increased accumulation of intracellular cisplatin, resulting in lower cell viability. In parallel, the activities and expressions of ATP-binding cassette transporters and GSTs were down-regulated in the presence of YPFS. The expression of p65 subunit of NF-κB complex was reduced by treating the cultures with YPFS, leading to a high ratio of Bax/Bcl-2, i.e. increasing the rate of cell death. Prim-O-glucosylcimifugin, one of the abundant ingredients in YPFS, modulated the activity of GSTs, and then elevated cisplatin accumulation, resulting in increased cell apoptosis. The present result supports the notion of YPFS in reversing drug resistance of cisplatin in lung cancer cells by elevating of intracellular cisplatin, and the underlying mechanism may be down regulating the activities and expressions of ATP-binding cassette transporters and GSTs.

    Abstract Yu Ping Feng San (YPFS), an ancient Chinese herbal decoction composed of Astragali Radix, Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma and Saposhnikoviae Radix, has been used in the clinic for treating immune deficiency. In cancer therapy, YPFS is being combined with chemotherapy drugs to achieve improved efficacy; however, scientific evidence to illustrate this combination effect is lacking. The present study aims to demonstrate the anti-drug resistance of YPFS in cisplatin (DDP)-resistant non-small cell lung cancer cells (A549/DDP). The application of YPFS exhibited a synergistic enhancement of DDP-induced cytotoxicity as well as of the apoptotic signalling molecules. DDP-induced expression of the multi-drug-resistance efflux transporters was markedly reduced in the presence of YPFS, resulting in a higher intracellular concentration of DDP. In addition, the application of YPFS increased DDP-induced ROS accumulation and MMP depletion, decreased p62/TRAF6 signalling in DDP-treated A549/DDP cells. The co-treatment of DDP and YPFS in tumour-bearing mice reduced the tumour size robustly (by more than 80%), which was much better than the effect of DDP alone. These results indicate that YPFS can notably improve the DDP-suppressed cancer effect, which may be a consequence of the elevation of intracellular DDP via the drug transporters as well as the down regulation of p62/TRAF6 signalling.

    Abstract Parkinson's disease (PD), a neurodegenerative disorder with an unknown etiology, is primarily characterized by the degeneration of dopamine (DA) neurons. The prevalence of PD has experienced a significant surge in recent years. The unidentified etiology poses limitations to the development of effective therapeutic interventions for this condition. Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection has affected approximately half of the global population. Mounting evidences suggest that H. pylori infection plays an important role in PD through various mechanisms. The autotoxin produced by H. pylori induces pro-inflammatory cytokines release, thereby facilitating the occurrence of central inflammation that leads to neuronal damage. Simultaneously, H. pylori disrupts the equilibrium of gastrointestinal microbiota with an overgrowth of bacteria in the small intestinal known as small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO). This dysbiosis of the gut flora influences the central nervous system (CNS) through microbiome-gut-brain axis. Moreover, SIBO hampers levodopa absorption and affects its therapeutic efficacy in the treatment of PD. Also, H. pylori promotes the production of defensins to regulate the permeability of the blood-brain barrier, facilitating the entry of harmful factors into the CNS. In addition, H. pylori has been found to induce gastroparesis, resulting in a prolonged transit time for levodopa to reach the small intestine. H. pylori may exploit levodopa to facilitate its own growth and proliferation, or it can inflict damage to the gastrointestinal mucosa, leading to gastrointestinal ulcers and impeding levodopa absorption. Here, this review focused on the role of H. pylori infection in PD from etiology, pathogenesis to levodopa bioavailability.

    Abstract Objective: Eosinophilic cholangitis (EC) is an uncommon form of benign biliary obstruction. It frequently eludes accurate clinical diagnosis, leading to inappropriate treatment methods. It is our aspiration that this clinical report will impart comprehensive insights into EC and, specifically, the critical role of tomographic examination.
    Case summary: A 34-year-old man was urgently admitted to the hospital due to excruciating abdominal distress persisting for several hours. Following a six-day course of anti-inflammatory therapy, his symptoms displayed marginal improvement, prompting his discharge. He returned to the hospital a month later for re-examination on doctor's orders. Based on the results of the re-examination, the patient refused steroid hormone shock therapy and subsequently underwent laparoscopic left-lateral hepatic lobectomy in order to confirm the diagnosis. The preoperative absolute counts of eosinophils in the peripheral blood were documented as 2.3 × 10
    Conclusion: When encountering a patient presenting with persistent elevation in absolute eosinophil count in peripheral blood, coupled with imaging manifestations suggestive of intrahepatic periductal inflammation, diagnosis of EC should be highly suspected. The most optimal diagnostic and therapeutic workflow for EC could entail CT-guided liver lesion biopsy, ensued by glucocorticoid pulse therapy, and finally, short-term monitoring utilizing CT or MRI (including T1WI, T2WI, DWI, CEMRI) techniques.

    Abstract Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are ubiquitous microorganisms that can colonize the intestine and participate in the physiological metabolism of the host. LAB can produce a variety of metabolites, including organic acids, bacteriocin, amino acids, exopolysaccharides and vitamins. These metabolites are the basis of LAB function and have a profound impact on host health. The intestine is colonized by a large number of gut microorganisms with high species diversity. Metabolites of LAB can keep the balance and stability of gut microbiota through aiding in the maintenance of the intestinal epithelial barrier, resisting to pathogens and regulating immune responses, which further influence the nutrition, metabolism and behavior of the host. In this review, we summarize the metabolites of LAB and their influence on the intestine. We also discuss the underlying regulatory mechanisms and emphasize the link between LAB and the human gut from the perspective of health promotion.

The preoperative absolute counts of eosinophils in the peripheral blood were documented as 2.3 × 109/L, 3.06 × 109/L, and 1.50 × 109/L consecutively; concurrently, the corresponding percentages of eosinophils were quantified at levels of 21.90%, 30.70%, and 19.20%. The subsequent postoperative pathological assessment unveiled EC as the definitive diagnosis. The patient has since remained free from disease recurrence and is presently alive.ConclusionWhen encountering a patient presenting with persistent elevation in absolute eosinophil count in peripheral blood, coupled with imaging manifestations suggestive of intrahepatic periductal inflammation, diagnosis of EC should be highly suspected. The most optimal diagnostic and therapeutic workflow for EC could entail CT-guided liver lesion biopsy, ensued by glucocorticoid pulse therapy, and finally, short-term monitoring utilizing CT or MRI (including T1WI, T2WI, DWI, CEMRI) techniques.
