Objective This study aimed to elucidate the protective effects of Da Cheng Qi Decoction (DCQD) on severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) by targeting ferroptosis in pancreatic acinar cells and to establish a predictive signature and nomogram for acute pancreatitis (AP) risk assessment. Methods We utilized microarray analysis to delineate gene expression patterns among 32 healthy controls and 87 AP patients stratified by severity. Employing SAP models and NOX2-deficient cells, we investigated the molecular underpinnings of ferroptosis. The impact of DCQD and the ferroptosis inhibitor Fer-1 on gene expression, oxidative stress, and inflammation was assessed. Machine learning algorithms identified differentially expressed genes (DEGs) sensitive to DCQD, SAP, and ferroptosis (DSNFGs), which were validated across multiple datasets. A predictive nomogram integrating DSNFGs was developed, and single-cell analysis provided a comprehensive view of the cellular dynamics. Results The microarray analysis revealed upregulation of NOX2 and downregulation of GPX4 in AP, with expression patterns correlating with disease severity. DCQD ameliorated SAP-induced pancreatic acinar cell damage and ferroptosis by reducing inflammatory markers and enhancing GPX4 expression. NOX2 knockout mitigated ferroptosis in SAP models, suggesting a key role in the disease process. DCQD and Fer-1 differentially regulated the expression of ferroptosis-related genes, reduced reactive oxygen species (ROS) and high-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) levels, and suppressed the inflammatory response in a SAP mouse model. The HPLC analysis of DCQD constituents indicated eight components (aloe-emodin, rhein, emodin, chrysophanol, naringin, hesperidin, magnolol, and honokiol) with the capacity to modulate ferroptosis. Venn analysis identified 48 DSNFGs, with a subset of five genes demonstrating significant predictive value. The developed nomogram, based on LASSO regression, showed high accuracy in validation cohorts. Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) and CellChat analysis uncovered heterogeneity and cell-cell communication networks in the pancreas during recovery from pancreatitis, implicating several signaling pathways. Conclusion DCQD and its eight ingredients exert its protective effect in SAP by inhibiting ferroptosis through the NOX2/GPX4 pathway. The DCQD-SAP-ferroptosis-related signature and nomogram offer a novel tool for AP risk assessment, prognosis prediction, and personalized therapeutic strategies in SAP management.
Sarcopenic obesity (SO), characterized by concurrent muscle loss and excess adiposity, is an emerging public health challenge, yet prospective evidence linking SO to mild cognitive impairment (MCI) remains limited. Baseline data were collected from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) in 2015. The incidences of MCI during follow-ups by 2018 and 2020 were calculated. Participants were divided into healthy, obesity only, sarcopenia only, and SO groups. Aging-associated MCI was defined as a total cognitive score at least one standard deviation below the age-specific norm for participants aged 45 and above, adjusted for age in five-year increments. In the 11,674 individuals with an average age of 59.31 ± 9.21 years, SO was detected in 160 (1.37
BackgroundHelicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a globally prevalent gastric bacterium implicated in gastrointestinal disease. Emerging evidence suggests it may also contribute to extra-gastric manifestations; however, its relationship with concurrent gastrointestinal, psychological, and sleep disturbances remains underexplored. This study investigated whether H. pylori infection is associated with a triad of gastrointestinal discomfort, sleep disturbance, and affective disorders.MethodsThis single-center cross-sectional study enrolled 969 adults at a H. pylori detection clinic (First Affiliated Hospital of Xiamen University) between June 2023 and June 2024. H. pylori infection status and severity were assessed using a 13C-urea breath test. Gastrointestinal symptoms, sleep disturbances, and affective disorders were evaluated with the Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Scale (GSRS), Athens Insomnia Scale (AIS), and 4-item Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-4). Latent class analysis (LCA) was performed to identify distinct symptom phenotypes. Associations between infection severity and symptom clusters were examined using logistic regression adjusted for age, sex, and body mass index (BMI).ResultsIn terms of associated symptoms, 35.40% of participants reported gastrointestinal symptoms, 72.65% had sleep disturbances, and 61.09% experienced affective disorders. The prevalence of gastrointestinal symptoms, sleep disturbances, and affective disorders increased significantly with greater infection severity. LCA identified a “Positive Triad” phenotype (60.7% of the cohort), characterized by concurrent gastrointestinal, sleep, and emotional symptoms. Higher infection severity was independently associated with this combined symptom cluster after adjusting for age, sex, and BMI. The effect of H. pylori infection on risk of positive triad was significant among different gender, age group, and BMI group.ConclusionH. pylori infection was associated with concurrent gastrointestinal discomfort, sleep disturbance, and affective disorders. These findings suggest a unified symptom cluster attributable to H. pylori infection, extending its clinical impact beyond the gastric tract. Recognizing this multidimensional presentation could inform more comprehensive diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for affected patients.
Background Diabetes has a high incidence rate and many complications,which was an urgent public health problem,but the prevention and management is still not ideal.Objective To observe the effect of Three Division management on metabolic indicators and self-management levels of diabetes patients with different courses of disease.Methods One hundred and 81 type 2 diabetes patients from April 2021 to April 2022 were managed by the mode of Three Division management and followed up for more than 6 months in Shenzhen Hospital Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine(Futian).The patients were grouped according to the course of disease(Group A:course of disease<1 year;Group B:course of disease 1-5 years;Group C:course of disease>5-10 years;Group D:course of disease>10 years);In outpatient,the three-division team composed of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners,endocrinologists and caregivers carries out comprehensive treatment such as physique identification,complication screening,medicine,food,exercises and emotion intervention;When patients are at home,the caregivers carry out intelligent management through intelligent Glucose meter equipment and mobile phone APP.We collected changes in blood glucose and body weight indicators in patients with different disease courses after six months of management.Additionally,we used a questionnaire to gather common issues in patient self-management and fill out the Summary of Diabetes Self-Care Activities Measure-6(SDSCA-6).Results Through the management of the Three Division management,Group A patients showed significant improvement in reducing fasting blood glucose and postprandial 2-hour blood glucose after the intervention(P<0.05).The BMI and waist circumference of groups A,B,C,and D were all reduced compared to before the intervention(P<0.05).Common dietary issues in patient self-management included an unreasonable dietary structure(38.12%),common exercise issues included insufficient exercise volume or intensity(36.46%),and common monitoring issues included insufficient monitoring(37.02%).The self-management levels of groups A,B,C,and D in the four dimensions of"healthy eating""self-monitoring""adherence to medical advice"and"education and communication"all improved compared to before the intervention(P<0.001).Conclusion The three division management can improve the self-management ability of diabetes patients and play a good comprehensive role in diabetes.Clinical practice should particularly emphasize the management of patients with a diabetes course of less than one year.

OBJECTIVE:This study aims to investigate physicians' familiarity and awareness of four diabetes guidelines and their practice of the recommendations outlined in these guidelines.DESIGN:A cross-sectional study.SETTING:An online questionnaire survey was conducted among physicians affiliated with the Specialist Committee for Primary Diabetes Care of China Association of Chinese Medicine, using the snowball sampling method to ensure a broader representation of physicians.PARTICIPANTS:1150 physicians from 192 cities across 30 provinces in China provided complete data.RESULTS:Tertiary care hospital physicians (TCPs) exhibited the highest familiarity with the Guideline for the Prevention and Treatment of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in China (91.3%), followed by the National Guidelines for the Prevention and Control of Diabetes in Primary Care (76.8%), the Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes (72.2%) and the Guidelines for Prevention and Treatment of Diabetes in Chinese Medicine (63.8%). Primary care practitioners (PCPs) exhibited familiarity with these four guidelines at about 50% or less. Self-reported reference to modern diabetes guidelines by physicians is more frequent than traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) diabetes guidelines, with rates at 73.2% and 33.8%, respectively. Approximately 90% of physicians provided instructions on self-monitoring of blood glucose to their patients with diabetes. Less than one-third of physicians referred patients to a specialised nutritionist. In terms of health education management, TCPs reported having a diabetes health management team at the rate of 75.7%, followed by secondary care hospital physicians at 57.0% and PCPs at 27.5%. Furthermore, approximately 40% of physicians did not fully grasp hypoglycaemia characteristics.CONCLUSIONS:Familiarity and awareness of the screening guidelines varied among physicians in different hospital settings. Importantly, significant discrepancies were observed between physicians' awareness and their self-reported reference to modern medicine guidelines and TCM guidelines. It is essential to consistently provide education and training on diabetes management for all physicians, particularly PCPs.

Ethnopharmacological relevance: Shuxie Compound (SX) combines the composition and efficacy of Suanzaoren decoction and Huanglian Wendan decoction. It can soothe the liver, regulate the qi, nourish the blood and calm the mind. It is used in the clinical treatment of sleep disorder with liver stagnation. Modern studies have proved that circadian rhythm disorder (CRD) can cause sleep deprivation and liver damage, which can be effectively ameliorated by traditional Chinese medicine to soothe the liver stagnation. However, the mechanism of SX is unclear.Aim of the study: This study was designed to demonstrate the impact of SX on CRD in vivo, and confirm the molecular mechanisms of SX in vitro.Materials and methods: The quality of SX and drug-containing serum was controlled by UPLC-Q-TOF/MS, which were used in vivo and in vitro experiments, respectively. In vivo, a light deprivation mouse model was used. In vitro, a stable knockdown Bmal1 cell line was used to explore SX mechanism.Results: Low-dose SX (SXL) could restore (1) circadian activity pattern, (2) 24-h basal metabolic pattern, (3) liver injury, and (4) Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress in CRD mice. CRD decreased the liver Bmal1 protein at ZT15, which was reversed by SXL treatment. Besides, SXL decreased the mRNA expression of Grp78/ATF4/Chop and the protein expression of ATF4/Chop at ZT11. In vitro experiments, SX reduced the protein expression of thapsigargin (tg)-induced p-eIF2 alpha/ATF4 pathway and increase the viability of AML12 cells by increasing the expression of Bmal1 protein. Conclusions: SXL relieved CRD-induced ER stress and improve cell viability by up-regulating the expression of Bmal1 protein in the liver and then inhibiting the protein expression of p-eIF2 alpha/ATF4.

Introduction: Chronic stress has been shown to cause liver damage in addition to psychological depression. Besides, drug-induced liver injury is frequently caused by antidepressants. Shuxie-1 decoction (SX-1) is a formula of traditional Chinese medicine commonly used in nourishing liver blood, and relieving depression. However, the underlying molecular mechanism remains unclear. Therefore, this study was designed to explore the effects and mechanisms of SX-1 in treating chronic stress-induced depression as well as liver injury. Methods: Chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) was applied to male Wistar rats for 4 weeks, with or without administration of SX-1 at low-dose and high-dose for 6 weeks, using Fluoxetine (Flu) as a positive control. Body weight was monitored once every 2 weeks. In the sixth week, the sugar preference test and open field test were carried out to evaluate the depression status. After that, the serum and liver tissues were collected. The quality control of SX-1 decoctions and drug-containing serum was controlled by UHPLC-QE-MS. The cell viability was measured by Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK8). Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (Elisa), Western Blot and immunohistochemistrical staining was obtained to detect the protein levels in the plasma and the hepatic tissues, respectively. Results: CUMS led to decreased 1) body weight, 2) the preference for sugar water, 3) the desire to explore in open field, and increased serum levels of corticosterone. All these factors were completely reversed by SX-1 treatment. Hematoxylin-eosin staining (HE) showed that SX-1 improved the hepatocyte vacuolization in CUMS treated rats, decreased the serum levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and the deposition of type I collagen (Col I) in hepatocytes as well. CUMS increased the levels of hepatic Interleukin-6 (IL-6), and provoked the activation of Janus kinase 2 (JAK2) and signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3), which was abrogated by SX-1 treatment. Cobalt chloride (CoCl2) increased the protein expression of IL-6 and p-STAT3 in AML12 cells. Besides, nuclear pyknosis was observed under electron microscope, which were recovered after rat SX serum. Conclusion: SX-1 effectively ameliorated CUMS-induced depression-like behaviors as well as hepatic injuries, probably by the blockade of hepatic IL-6/JAK2/STAT3 signaling.
