    Abstract Context: Pien-Tze-Huang
    Objective: This study investigates the anti-inflammatory effects and its underlying mechanism of PTH on ischaemic stroke.
    Materials and methods: Cerebral ischaemia-reperfusion injury was induced through 2 h middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) followed by 24 h reperfusion in male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats receiving oral pre-treatment with PTH (180 mg/kg) for 4 days. TLR4 antagonist TAK-242 (3 mg/kg) was injected intraperitoneally at 1.5 h after MCAO. MRI, HE staining, qRT-PCR, western blot, and immunofluorescence methods were employed.
    Results: PTH treatment markedly reduced cerebral infarct volume (by 51%), improved neurological function (by 33%), and ameliorated brain histopathological damage in MCAO rats. It also reduced the levels of four inflammatory mediators including IL-1β (by 70%), IL-6 (by 78%), TNF-α (by 60%) and MCP-1 (by 58%); inhibited microglia and astrocyte activation; and decreased protein expression of iNOS and COX-2 in injured brains. Moreover, PTH down-regulated the protein expressions of TLR4, MyD88, and TRAF6; reduced the expression and nuclear translocation of NF-κB; and lowered the protein expressions of p-ERK1/2, p-JNK, and p-p38. Similar effects were observed in MCAO rats with TAK-242 treatment. However, combined administration of PTH and TAK-242 did not significantly reinforce the anti-inflammatory effects of PTH.
    Discussion and conclusion: PTH improved cerebral ischaemia-reperfusion injury by inhibiting neuroinflammation partly via the TLR4/NF-κB/MAPK signalling pathway, which will help guide its clinical application.

    Abstract Holography based on Kramers-Kronig relations (KKR) is a promising technique due to its high-space-bandwidth product. However, the absence of an iterative process limits its noise robustness, primarily stemming from the lack of a regularization constraint. This Letter reports a generalized framework aimed at enhancing the noise robustness of KKR holography. Our proposal involves employing the Hilbert-Huang transform to connect the real and imaginary parts of an analytic function. The real part is initially processed by bidimensional empirical mode decomposition into a series of intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) and a residual term. They are then selected to remove the noise and bias terms. Finally, the imaginary part can be obtained using the Hilbert transform. In this way, we efficiently suppress the noise in the synthetic complex function, facilitating high-fidelity wavefront reconstruction using ∼20

    Abstract Ethnopharmacological relevance: Pien Tze Huang is a classic traditional Chinese medicinal product, used for inflammatory diseases as stated in Chinese Pharmacopoeia. In particular, it is effective in treating liver diseases and pro-inflammatory conditions. Acetaminophen (APAP) is a widely used analgesic drug, but its over-dose is associated with acute liver failure where the clinical approved antidote treatment is limited. Inflammation has been considered as one of the therapeutic targets against APAP-induced liver injury.
    Aim of the study: We aimed to explore the therapeutic potential of Pien Tze Huang tablet (PTH) on protecting liver against APAP-induced liver injury through its strong anti-inflammatory pharmacological action.
    Materials and methods: Wild-type C57BL/6 mice were given PTH (75, 150 and 300 mg/kg) by oral gavage 3 days before the APAP injection (400 mg/kg). The protective effect of PTH was assessed by aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine transaminase (ALT) levels and pathological staining. The mechanisms underlying PTH's hepatoprotective effects were investigated in nucleotide-binding domain (NOD)-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) knock-out (NLRP3
    Results: APAP-exposed mice resulted in evident liver injury which was evidenced by hepatic necrosis and elevated levels of AST and ALT in the wild-type C57BL/6 mice. PTH dose-dependently reduced ALT, AST and upregulated autophagy activity. In addition, PTH significantly reduced elevated levels of proinflammatory cytokines and NLRP3 inflammasome. The liver protective effect of PTH (300 mg/kg) was still obvious in the oe-NLRP3 mice, however, it became insignificant in the NLRP3
    Conclusion: PTH exerted a beneficial effect in protecting liver against APAP-induced liver injury. The underlying molecular mechanism was associated with the NLRP3 inflammasome inhibition which was likely driven by the upregulated autophagy activity. Our study underpins the traditional use of PTH in protecting liver through its anti-inflammatory action.

    Abstract Pien Tze Huang is a classic traditional Chinese medicinal product, used for inflammatory diseases as stated in Chinese Pharmacopoeia. In particular, it is effective in treating liver diseases and pro-inflammatory conditions. Acetaminophen (APAP) is a widely used analgesic drug, but its over-dose is associated with acute liver failure where the clinical approved antidote treatment is limited. Inflammation has been considered as one of the therapeutic targets against APAP-induced liver injury. We aimed to explore the therapeutic potential of Pien Tze Huang tablet (PTH) on protecting liver against APAP-induced liver injury through its strong anti-inflammatory pharmacological action. Wild-type C57BL/6 mice were given PTH (75, 150 and 300 mg/kg) by oral gavage 3 days before the APAP injection (400 mg/kg). The protective effect of PTH was assessed by aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine transaminase (ALT) levels and pathological staining. The mechanisms underlying PTH’s hepatoprotective effects were investigated in nucleotide-binding domain (NOD)-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) knock-out (NLRP3⁻/⁻), over expression NLRP3 (oe-NLRP3) mice, and wild-type mice with the injection of autophagy inhibitor (3-methyladenine, 3-MA). APAP-exposed mice resulted in evident liver injury which was evidenced by hepatic necrosis and elevated levels of AST and ALT in the wild-type C57BL/6 mice. PTH dose-dependently reduced ALT, AST and upregulated autophagy activity. In addition, PTH significantly reduced elevated levels of proinflammatory cytokines and NLRP3 inflammasome. The liver protective effect of PTH (300 mg/kg) was still obvious in the oe-NLRP3 mice, however, it became insignificant in the NLRP3⁻/⁻ mice. When PTH (300 mg/kg) was co-treated with 3-MA to the wild-type C57BL/6 mice, the NLRP3 inhibition were reversed when autophagy was blocked. PTH exerted a beneficial effect in protecting liver against APAP-induced liver injury. The underlying molecular mechanism was associated with the NLRP3 inflammasome inhibition which was likely driven by the upregulated autophagy activity. Our study underpins the traditional use of PTH in protecting liver through its anti-inflammatory action.

    Abstract The mesuropetalid dragonfly Sinomesuropetala daohugensis Boudet, Nel & Huang, 2023, is here revised based on a new well-preserved dragonfly from the Haifanggou Formation of Inner Mongolia, northeastern China. The new specimen allows us to complete the forewing characters of this species, showing the close relationship of Sinomesuropetala Boudet, Nel & Huang, 2023 with Mesuropetala Handlirsch, 1906. The mesuropetalid dragonflies are currently recorded from the Late Jurassic and Lower Cretaceous deposits of east Asia, East Central South Europe, and southern America, indicating the wide distribution and the possible long-distance migration ability of some basal aeshnopteran dragonflies during these epochs.

    Abstract Ethnopharmacological relevance: Shang-Ke-Huang-Shui lotion (SKHS), an experiential formula based on the theory of traditional Chinese medicine as a hospital preparation, combines Coptidis Rhizoma, Phellodendri Chinensis Cortex, Gardeniae Fructus, Arnebiae Radix, Menthae Haplocalycis Herba and Alumen. While it has acquired positive effects on the treatment of soft tissue injuries, there is no systematic safety assessment in recent studies.
    Aim of the study: The study aimed to investigate the acute and long-term toxicity in New Zealand White rabbits using topical administration of SKHS.
    Materials and methods: In the acute toxicity study, rabbits were given topical administration of SKHS extract (2.775 g crude drug/mL) 3 times daily in normal and broken skin. In the long-term toxicity study, rabbits underwent topical administration of SKHS extract (1.390, 0.694, 0.139 g crude drug/mL) 1 time per day in normal and broken skin for 90 days. Their general behavior, body weight, food intake, biochemical and hematologic parameters, organ coefficients, and pathological morphology were analyzed.
    Results: Mild skin irritation was observed in rabbits with normal or broken skin following acute exposure to the high dose of SKHS. Evidence of toxicity was not observed in the rabbits exposed to SKHS for an extended period. Although some parameters have been significant changes, they cannot be considered treatment-related because they have remained within normal limits.
    Conclusion: Topical administration of SKHS could be considered relatively safe and did not reveal any severe toxicity or side effects in this study.

    Abstract Background: Traditional Chinese medicine has used the drug Pien Tze Huang (PTH), a classic prescription, to treat autoimmune hepatitis (AIH). However, the precise mode of action is still unknown.
    Aim: To investigate the mechanism of PTH in an AIH mouse model by determining the changes in gut microbiota structure and memory regulatory T (mTreg) cells functional levels.
    Methods: Following induction of the AIH mouse model induced by Concanavalin A (Con A), prophylactic administration of PTH was given for 10 d. The levels of mTreg cells were measured by flow cytometry, and intestinal microbiota was analyzed by 16S rRNA analysis, while western blotting was used to identify activation of the toll-like receptor (TLR)2, TLR4/nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB), and CXCL16/CXCR6 signaling pathways.
    Results: In the liver of mice with AIH, PTH relieved the pathological damage and reduced the numbers of T helper type 17 cells and interferon-γ, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-2, IL-6, and IL-21 expression. Simultaneously, PTH stimulated the abundance of helpful bacteria, promoted activation of the TLR2 signal, which may enhance Treg/mTreg cells quantity to produce IL-10, and suppressed activation of the TLR4/NF-κB and CXCL16/CXCR6 signaling pathways.
    Conclusion: PTH regulates intestinal microbiota balance and restores mTreg cells to alleviate experimental AIH, which is closely related to the TLR/CXCL16/CXCR6/NF-κB signaling pathway.
