    Abstract Yin-Chen-Hao-Tang (YCHT) is a famous Chinese medicine formula which has long been used in clinical practice for treating various liver diseases, such as liver fibrosis. However, to date, the mechanism for its anti-fibrotic effects remains unclear. In this paper, an ultra-performance liquid chromatography-time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-TOF-MS)-based metabolomic study was performed to characterize dimethylnitrosamine (DMN)-induced liver fibrosis in rats and evaluate the therapeutic effects of YCHT. Partial least squares-discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) showed that the model group was well separated from the control group, whereas the YCHT-treated group exhibited a tendency to restore to the controls. Seven significantly changed fibrosis-related metabolites, including unsaturated fatty acids and lysophosphatidylcholines (Lyso-PCs), were identified. Moreover, statistical analysis demonstrated that YCHT treatment could reverse the levels of most metabolites close to the normal levels. These results, along with histological and biochemical examinations, indicate that YCHT has anti-fibrotic effects, which may be due to the suppression of oxidative stress and resulting lipid peroxidation involved in hepatic fibrogenesis. This study offers new opportunities to improve our understanding of liver fibrosis and the anti-fibrotic mechanisms of YCHT.

    Abstract Previous studies suggest that interference control may be unaffected by sleep deprivation based on the unchanged interference effects (reaction time [RT] differences between incongruent and congruent conditions), while ignoring the overall slower RTs after sleep deprivation. In the present study, we interpreted these results from a new angle using a variant of diffusion model, diffusion model for conflict tasks (DMC), and investigated whether and how interference control is affected by sleep deprivation. Mathematical derivations and model simulations showed that unchanged task-irrelevant information processing (i.e., unaffected interference control) may not lead to the observed unchanged interference effects when considering the overall slower RTs after sleep deprivation (due to either decreased drift rate of task-relevant information or increased decision boundary). Therefore, the unchanged interference effects do not necessarily indicate unchanged interference control. We then conducted a Simon task following one night of sleep deprivation or normal sleep, and fitted the DMC to the data. Experimental results showed that the Simon effect was reversed when most of the trials were incongruent, indicating that participants used learned spatially incompatible stimulus-response associations to predict responses. However, the Simon effects in both mean RTs and RT distributions were not significantly modulated by sleep deprivation. Model fits showed that the drift rate of task-relevant information decreased and the time-to-peak of task-irrelevant activation increased after sleep deprivation. These results suggest that central information processing was degraded after sleep loss, and most importantly, task-irrelevant activation increased after sleep deprivation as interference control was impaired.

    Abstract Introduction: Neurosyphilis (NS) is known as a sexually transmitted disease that is very difficult to diagnose and its diagnosis is delayed. Some studies have suggested that the level of interleukin (IL)-27 decreases in syphilis patients and the level of IL-17 increases in these patients, and these immunological changes can be a therapeutic target for these patients. The present study aims to evaluate IL-27's role in the immune regulation of Treg and Th17 cells in NS patients.
    Material and methods: 400 documented diagnosed syphilis patients were enrolled to the study and divided into two groups of neurosyphilis (NS) and non-neurosyphilis (S). Also 40 healthy volunteers were enrolled as a healthy control group (C). Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from peripheral blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) by lumbar puncture were collected as samples. mRNA expression and level of IL-27, IL-17, Th17, IL-17-producing CD4 + T cells and also protein concentration and VDRL of CSF were investigated. To obtain proposed results, flow cytometry, RT-PCR and ELISA were used.
    Results: The mRNA expression of IL-27 in PBMCs declined significantly in NS patients compared to healthy controls ( p = 0.002) and S patients ( p = 0.005) and decreased significantly in CSF of NS patients in comparison to healthy controls ( p = 0.002) and S patients ( p = 0.003). The frequency of IL-17-producing CD4 + T cells increased significantly in PBMCs of NS patients in comparison to healthy controls ( p = 0.004) and S patients ( p = 0.004). This frequency also increased significantly in CSF of NS patients compared to C ( p = 0.007) and S patients ( p = 0.003). Adding rIL-27 significantly prevented the frequency of IL-17-producing CD4 + T cells from naïve CD4 + T cells under Th17 polarizing conditions from NS patients ( p = 0.043), C ( p = 0.043), and S patients ( p = 0.002) in PBMCs, and also 0.03, 0.02 and 0.03 respectively for NS, S and C of CSF. The results revealed a significant negative relationship between CSF protein and VDRL concentrations and CSF IL-27 levels.
    Conclusions: This study confirms previous efforts on the critical role of IL-17 in NS. Also, it supports other results on the inhibitory effects of IL-27 on the therapeutic potential of IL-27 in NS and the inflammation process.
