    Abstract Background and aims: To investigate mechanisms underlying the effects of Da-Cheng-Qi decoction (DCQD) on severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) capillary leakage syndrome.
    Methods: In this study, a SAP rat model was established using retrograde perfusion of 5% sodium taurocholate into the biliopancreatic duct. The study included three randomized groups: control, SAP (modeling), and DCQD (via gavage at 2 h pre-modeling and 2 and 4 h post-modeling). HPLC was used to analyzed major components of DCQD. Pathological changes and capillary permeability in the rat pancreatic tissues were examined. mRNA levels of claudin 5, occludin, zonula occludin-1 (ZO-1), and junctional adhesion molecules (JAM-C) were assessed using qRT-PCR. Tight junction-associated protein expression was evaluated using immunofluorescence and Western blot analyses. Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were used to investigate the mechanism m of DCQD.
    Results: Serum levels of amylase, TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-2, and IL-6 were higher in the SAP group compared to the DCQD group (
    Conclusion: DCQD can improve capillary permeability in both

    Abstract Background: Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), the most fatal subtype of stroke, has no disease-modifying treatment. Da-cheng-qi decoction (DCQ), composed of rhubarb, is one of the most commonly used Chinese traditional decoctions in ICH treatment. But the mechanism is not clear. Emodin is an active compound found in rhubarb.
    Purpose: To study the protective effects of DCQ on ICH and its possible mechanisms of action.
    Methods: The ICH model was reproduced by injecting collagenase-VII into the left caudate putamen (CPu) of rats. DCQ and emodin were used to treat the ICH rats for 7 days. Behavior tests, proteomic analysis, morphological studies, and western blotting were performed.
    Results: The neurological deficits in the ICH rats recovered with DCQ and emodin on the 14
    Conclusion: The protective effects of DCQ on ICH were confirmed in this study, and its mechanism may be related to the inhibition of MAPK and activation of M2 microglia. These results are beneficial to the development of ICH therapeutic targets.

    Abstract This study takes a network perspective to examine the spatial spillover effects of haze pollution in Cheng-Yu urban agglomeration which is the fourth largest urban agglomeration and a comprehensive demonstration zone of new urbanization in China. Firstly, we use Granger causality test to construct haze pollution spatial association network, and then we apply social network analysis to reveal the structural characteristics of this network. The results show that: haze pollution in Cheng-Yu urban agglomeration is a complex multithreaded network. Chongqing, Chengdu, Guang'an, Luzhou, Deyang and Nanchong are the centers of the network, sending and transmitting the most relationships. The haze pollution spatial association network can be divided into net beneficiary block, net overflow block, bilateral overflow block and broker block. These four blocks present obvious geographical distribution characteristics and are partly related to the difference of urbanization. The above results contribute by illustrating the current spatial spillover situation of haze pollution and provide a theoretical foundation for the government that it should simultaneously consider cities' statues and their spatial spillover effects in the network rather than simple geographic proximity when formulating future haze pollution control policies in urban agglomeration.

    Abstract Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), the most fatal subtype of stroke, has no disease-modifying treatment. Da-cheng-qi decoction (DCQ), composed of rhubarb, is one of the most commonly used Chinese traditional decoctions in ICH treatment. But the mechanism is not clear. Emodin is an active compound found in rhubarb.To study the protective effects of DCQ on ICH and its possible mechanisms of action.The ICH model was reproduced by injecting collagenase-VII into the left caudate putamen (CPu) of rats. DCQ and emodin were used to treat the ICH rats for 7 days. Behavior tests, proteomic analysis, morphological studies, and western blotting were performed.The neurological deficits in the ICH rats recovered with DCQ and emodin on the 14ᵗʰ day after ICH. The proteomics data revealed that DCQ significantly corrected the pathological signals in the CPu and hippocampus after ICH. The numbers of amoebic microglia in the CPu and M2 microglia in both CPu and hippocampus were significantly increased after DCQ and emodin treatment. The increase in GluN2B-containing NMDA receptor (NR2B) and postsynaptic density protein-95, activation of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signals in the CPu, and secondary neurodegeneration (SND) in the hippocampus were significantly recovered in DCQ-treated rats. Inhibition of MAPK p38 (p38) in the hippocampus was observed after DCQ and emodin treatment.The protective effects of DCQ on ICH were confirmed in this study, and its mechanism may be related to the inhibition of MAPK and activation of M2 microglia. These results are beneficial to the development of ICH therapeutic targets.

    Abstract Background: In 2010 the Beijing Municipal Government promulgated a policy aimed at improving the quality of life and subjective well-being of elderly residents that included a component focused on mental health.
    Aim: Identify factors associated with subjective well-being in a representative sample of elderly residents of Xi Cheng District in Beijing.
    Methods: This cross-sectional study administered a self-completion survey to a stratified random sample of 2342 residents of Xi Cheng District who were 60 to 80 years of age. The level of well-being was assessed using a validated Chinese version of the Memorial University of Newfoundland Scale of Happiness (MUNSH). Detailed socioeconomic variables were obtained using a questionnaire developed by the authors. Social support, anxiety, and depression were assessed using validated Chinese versions of the Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS), Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS), and Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS).
    Results: Among the 2342 respondents, 1616 (69.0%) had a total MUNSH score of 32 or above, indicating a high level of happiness; 423 (18.1%) has a total SSRS score 32 or below, indicating poor social support; 201 (8.6%) had a total SDS score of 53 or above, indicating significant depression; and 126 (5.3%) had a total SAS score of 50 or above, indicating significant anxiety. In the multivariate regression analysis the self-reported level of depression was the most important factor related to well-being. Anxiety, social support, income level, the quality of family relationships, the ability to self-regulate emotions, and regular exercise were also significantly related to well-being; but gender, marital status, age and educational level were not associated with well-being.
    Conclusion: Among elderly urban residents in Beijing, self-reports of poor subjective well-being are closely associated with self-reports of depressive and anxiety symptoms and also associated with social factors such as social support, income level and family relationships. Prospective studies are needed to identify the causal relationships of these variables and, based on the findings, to develop targeted interventions aimed at improving the quality of life and well-being of elderly community members.

    Abstract Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of topical delivery of modified Da-Cheng- Qi Decoction (, MDCQD) by low-frequency ultrasound sonophoresis (LFUS) in patients with refractory metastatic malignant bowel obstruction (MBO) using an objective performance criteria (OPC) design.
    Methods: Fifty patients with refractory metastatic MBO were enrolled in this open-label single-arm clinical trial. Alongside fasting, gastrointestinal decompression, glycerol enema, intravenous nutrition and antisecretory therapy, a 50 g dose of MDCQD (prepared as a hydrogel) was applied through topical delivery at the site of abodminal pain or Tianshu (S 25) using LFUS for 30 min, twice daily for 5 consecutive days. The overall outcome was the remission of intestinal obstruction, and improvement on abdominal pain, abdominal distention, nausea and vomiting scores. Indicators of safety evaluation included liver and renal function as well as blood coagulation indicators.
    Results: Among 50 patients, 5 patients (10%) showed complete remission of intestinal obstruction and 21 patients (42%) showed improvement of intestinal obstruction. The overall remission rate of bowel obstruction was 52%. The results of the symptom score, based on the severity and frequency of the episode, are as follows: 26 patients (52%) showed improvment on symptom scores, 20 patients (40%) did not respond to treatment, and 4 patients (8%) discontinued treatment due to intolerance. No serious adverse effects or abnormal changes on liver and renal function or blood coagulation were observed.
    Conclusion: Topical delivery of MDCQD at 100 g/day using LFUS can improve the treatment response in patients with refractory metastatic MBO.

    Abstract Purpose: Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is a common clinical disease, which results in serious respiratory impairment. Xin Jia Xuan Bai Cheng Qi Decoction (XJXBCQ) is a traditional prescription commonly used in treating lung diseases. We investigate the effect of XJXBCQ against PF and its mechanism via the regulation of TGF-β1/Smad in vitro and in vivo.
    Materials and methods: XJXBCQ was first extracted and probed for chemical characterization. An PF model in vitro and in vivo was established in rats and in MRC-5 cells. In bleomycin (BLM)-induced rats model, lung function such as peak expiratory flow (PEF), minute ventilation (MV) and hydroxyproline (HYP) were measured; histopathological changes of lung tissue and TGF-β1 in peripheral blood of rats were detected. TGF-β receptor, Smad2 and its phosphorylation expression were tested by Western blot assay in rats model. Then the effects of XJXBCQ on TGF-β1/Smad signal pathway were assessed by Western blot analysis in vitro, and IL-17A and IL-25 levels were evaluated by ELISA in vivo.
    Results: Our results showed that XJXBCQ significantly enhanced the lung functions, such as PEF, MV and HYP, by reducing the expression level of lung inflammatory cytokine and the content and fibrosis of lung collagen. Moreover, XJXBCQ effectively inhibited TGF-β1, Smad2 and its phosphorylation expression, and the activation of Smad7 in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, XJXBCQ had an inhibitory effect on the α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) and fibronectin (Fn) in vitro and downregulated IL-17A and IL-25 by inhibiting the activation of TGF-β1/Smad signaling pathway in vitro and in vivo. Further, XJXBCQ effectively inhibitied ventilation volume and peak expiratory content remodeling and hydroxyproline content through inhibition of TGF-βRⅡ, Smad2 and its phosphorylation expression, and activation of Smad7 in vivo.
    Conclusion: XJXBCQ extract had an anti-PF effect in vitro and in vivo, which could be attributed to the inhibition of the expression of p-Smad2 and increase in the expression of Smad7 by regulating the TGF-β1/Smad activity.

    Abstract A sensitive and reliable method has been developed to determine synephrine in a famous purgative Chinese medicinal prescription, da-cheng-qi decoction. After purified by solid-phase extraction (SPE), the decoction was derivatized with 9-fluorenylmethyl chloroformate in borate buffer and analyzed by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography equipped with a diode-array detector. The chromatographic separation was carried out on a Shimadzu shim-pack VP-ODS column using acetonitrile-water as mobile phase. This method was validated in terms of linearity, recovery, precision, accuracy, and repeatability. Calibration curves were linear (r(2) > 0.99) over the concentration range of 0.78-100 microg/mL, and the mean recovery was 93.28%. The intra- and inter-batch precisions were less than 2% in terms of relative standard deviations. The accuracy and repeatability were well within the acceptable range. The limit of detection was 0.25 microg/mL. This validated method also can be used for assays of herbal products, fruits, dietary supplements, and biological samples containing synephrine.
