Research progress of drug toxicity mechanism based on the gut microbiota / 药学学报

The exploration of drug toxicity and mechanisms is a vital component in ensuring the safe use of drugs in clinical practice, as this topic has attracted widespread concern. The intestinal flora holds great significance for drug metabolism, efficacy and mechanism, and is an instrumental metabolic organ that facilitates material information transfer and biotransformation. However, an increasing number of studies have shown that intestinal bacteria are closely related to the toxicity of specific drugs. On the one hand, drugs are transformed into toxic metabolites under the influence of intestinal bacteria, thus inducing direct drug toxicity. On the other hand, the composition and function of the intestinal flora are altered under drug influence, resulting in disruption of endogenous metabolic pathways. Consequently, this disruption compromises the intestinal barrier and affects other organs, leading to indirect drug toxicity. This review meticulously compiles recent examples of drug toxicity attributed to intestinal bacteria, explores in depth the contention that metabolic enzymes of gut microbiota may be of great influence on oral drug toxicity, and outlines prospective avenues for future research on gut microbiota and drug toxicity and mechanisms. This not only provides novel perspectives for the judicious clinical utilization of drugs but also offers insights for the safety assessment of innovative pharmaceuticals.

Schisandrin B Improves the Hypothermic Preservation of Celsior Solution in Human Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stem Cells

BACKGROUND@#Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUCMSCs) have emerged as promising therapy for immune and inflammatory diseases. However, how to maintain the activity and unique properties during cold storage and transportation is one of the key factors affecting the therapeutic efficiency of hUCMSCs. Schisandrin B (SchB) has many functions in cell protection as a natural medicine. In this study, we investigated the protective effects of SchB on the hypothermic preservation of hUCMSCs. @*METHODS@#hUCMSCs were isolated from Wharton’s jelly. Subsequently, hUCMSCs were exposed to cold storage (4 °C) and 24-h re-warming. After that, cells viability, surface markers, immunomodulatory effects, reactive oxygen species (ROS), mitochondrial integrity, apoptosis-related and antioxidant proteins expression level were evaluated. @*RESULTS@#SchB significantly alleviated the cells injury and maintained unique properties such as differentiation potential, level of surface markers and immunomodulatory effects of hUCMSCs. The protective effects of SchB on hUCMSCs after hypothermic storage seemed associated with its inhibition of apoptosis and the anti-oxidative stress effect mediated by nuclear factor erythroid 2–related factor 2 signaling. @*CONCLUSION@#These results demonstrate SchB could be used as an agent for hypothermic preservation of hUCMSCs.

Neuroimaging and artificial intelligence for assessment of chronic painful temporomandibular disorders-a comprehensive review / 国际口腔科学杂志·英文版

Chronic Painful Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD) are challenging to diagnose and manage due to their complexity and lack of understanding of brain mechanism. In the past few decades' neural mechanisms of pain regulation and perception have been clarified by neuroimaging research. Advances in the neuroimaging have bridged the gap between brain activity and the subjective experience of pain. Neuroimaging has also made strides toward separating the neural mechanisms underlying the chronic painful TMD. Recently, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming various sectors by automating tasks that previously required humans' intelligence to complete. AI has started to contribute to the recognition, assessment, and understanding of painful TMD. The application of AI and neuroimaging in understanding the pathophysiology and diagnosis of chronic painful TMD are still in its early stages. The objective of the present review is to identify the contemporary neuroimaging approaches such as structural, functional, and molecular techniques that have been used to investigate the brain of chronic painful TMD individuals. Furthermore, this review guides practitioners on relevant aspects of AI and how AI and neuroimaging methods can revolutionize our understanding on the mechanisms of painful TMD and aid in both diagnosis and management to enhance patient outcomes.

SpyGlass in Diagnosis of Hepatocellular Carcinoma with Right Hepatic Duct Tumor Thrombus Hemorrhage: A Case Report / 中国医学科学杂志(英文版)

Hepatocelluar carcinoma presenting as a biliary duct tumor thrombus is a relatively rare entity, with poor prognosis. The primary clinical manifestation of this disease is obstructive jaundice, which can often be misdiagnosed. A 59-year-old female patient was admitted with sudden onset of abdominal pain. Laboratory tests suggested obstructive jaundice, and enhanced magnetic resonance imaging of the upper abdomen did not show obvious biliary dilatation. Endoscopic ultrasound and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography suggested an occupying lesion in the upper bile duct. SpyGlass and biopsy finally confirmed hepatocellular carcinoma with right hepatic duct tumor thrombus hemorrhage. The SpyGlass Direct Visualization System, as an advanced biliary cholangioscopy device, showed the advantages of single-person operation as well as easy access to and visualization of the lesion.

Improvement of solubility of epimedium flavonoid secondary glycoside components by traditional Chinese medicine polysaccharides and its mechanism / 中国中药杂志

The poor solubility of insoluble components of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) is an important factor restricting the development of its preparations. Natural polysaccharides of TCM can be used as functional components to increase the solubility of insoluble components. Epimedium flavonoid secondary glycoside components(EFSGC) have been shown to have positive effects on the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis, but they exhibit poor solubility. Therefore, the strategy of solubilizing EFSGC with TCM polysaccharides was adopted, and its effect on the permeability and stability of EFSGC was evaluated in this study. Based on the equilibrium solubility experiment of EFSGC, it was found that Panax notoginseng crude polysaccharide(PNCP) had the best solubilization effect on EFSGC among the ten kinds of TCM polysaccharides, which increased the solubility of EFSGC from 0.8 mg·mL~(-1) to 13.3 mg·mL~(-1). It should be noted that after the solubilization of EFSGC by preparation technology, the effects on permeability and stability should be considered. Therefore, this study also investigated these two properties. The results showed that PNCP increased the effective transmittance of EFSGC from 50.5% to 71.1%, which could increase the permeability of EFSGC significantly. At the same time, it could improve the stability of EFSGC in the simulated gastric juice environment. In order to explain the solubilization mechanism of PNCP on EGSGC, critical micelle concentration, particle size, potential, differential scanning calorimetry, and infrared spectroscopy were analyzed. It was preliminarily inferred that the mechanism was as follows: PNCP and EFSGC could self-assemble into aggregates for solubilization by intermolecular hydrogen bonding interaction in water. In summary, PNCP can not only improve the solubility of EFSGC but also improve its permeability and stability. This study lays the foundation for the application of TCM polysaccharides as a functional component to solubilize insoluble components.

After treatment, the percentage of CD34 +KDR + in monocytes and serum level of stromal cell-derived factor-1α in the observation group were (1.58 ± 0.19)% and (1.84 ± 0.11) μg/L, respectively, which were significantly higher than those in the control group [(0.73 ± 0.20)% and (1.34 ± 0.09) μg/L, t = 7.125, 6.983, both P < 0.05). Conclusion:Based on conventional treatment, psychotherapy combined with early rehabilitation treatment can improve the clinical efficacy in the treatment of acute cerebral infarction possibly through increasing the percentage of CD 34+KDR + in monocytes and the serum level of stromal cell-derived factor-1α.

A comprehensive review on biomarkers associated with painful temporomandibular disorders / 国际口腔科学杂志·英文版

Pain of the orofacial region is the primary complaint for which patients seek treatment. Of all the orofacial pain conditions, one condition that possess a significant global health problem is temporomandibular disorder (TMD). Patients with TMD typically frequently complaints of pain as a symptom. TMD can occur due to complex interplay between peripheral and central sensitization, endogenous modulatory pathways, and cortical processing. For diagnosis of TMD pain a descriptive history, clinical assessment, and imaging is needed. However, due to the complex nature of pain an additional step is needed to render a definitive TMD diagnosis. In this review we explicate the role of different biomarkers involved in painful TMD. In painful TMD conditions, the role of biomarkers is still elusive. We believe that the identification of biomarkers associated with painful TMD may stimulate researchers and clinician to understand the mechanism underlying the pathogenesis of TMD and help them in developing newer methods for the diagnosis and management of TMD. Therefore, to understand the potential relationship of biomarkers, and painful TMD we categorize the biomarkers as molecular biomarkers, neuroimaging biomarkers and sensory biomarkers. In addition, we will briefly discuss pain genetics and the role of potential microRNA (miRNA) involved in TMD pain.

Role of pinkl/parkin-mediated mitochondrial autophagy in a rat model of brain injury / 中国组织工程研究

BACKGROUND: In addition to FUNDC1, Bnip3 and Nix mitochondrial autophagy pathways in mammals that are closely related to the hypoxic environment, Pinkl/Parkin is the main mitochondrial autophagy pathway after brain injury. PINK1 acts upstream of Parkin, and the Pinkl/Parkin pathway is used to mediate loss of mitochondrial surface functional proteins or structural polyubiquitination, and considered as a marker for autophagosome selection, which has an important influence on autophagy-dependent degradation of depolarized mitochondria. OBJECTIVE: To analyze the role of Pinkl/Parkin-mediated mitochondrial autophagy in rats with brain injury after hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage. METHODS: The study was approved by the Laboratory Animal Ethical Committee of North Sichuan Medical College. Forty-five male Wistar rats of SPF grade were randomly divided into normal, model and autophagy inhibitor groups. The rats in the model and autophagy inhibitor groups were used to prepare hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage model. Before modeling 2 µL of PBS solution containing trimethyl adenine (100 nmol/L) was intraperitoneally injected in the inhibitor group, and the model and the normal groups were intraperitoneally injected with 2 µL of PBS. The water content, mitochondrial autophagy, mitochondrial membrane potential, cerebral infarction, mitochondrial LC3, Parkin protein and PINK1 protein expression in brain tissue were detected. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) Compared with the normal group, the autophagy staining and mitochondrial staining expression in the model group was increased, and the number of co-localized positive cells was increased (both P < 0.05). Compared with the model group, the autophagy staining and mitochondrial staining expression in the autophagy inhibitor group was decreased, and the number of co-localized positive cells was decreased (both P < 0.05). (2) Compared with the normal group, the infarction proportion of the brain in the model group was increased (P < 0.05). Compared with the model group, the infarction proportion of the brain in the autophagy inhibitor group was increased (P < 0.05). (3) Compared with the normal group, the mitochondrial staining intensity in the model group was decreased, and the autophagy staining intensity was increased (both P < 0.05). Compared with the model group, the mitochondrial staining intensity in the autophagy inhibitor group was decreased, and the autophagy staining intensity was increased (both P < 0.05). (4) Compared with the normal group, the expression levels of PINK1, LC3 and Parkin in the model group were increased (P < 0.05). Compared with the model group, the expression levels of PINK1, LC3 and Parkin in the autophagy inhibitor group were decreased (P < 0.05). In summary, mitochondrial autophagy can alleviate the degree of brain injury after hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage. The Pinkl/Parkin pathway plays an important role in the mitochondrial autophagy.

Biopharmaceutics classification evaluation for paris saponin VII / 中国天然药物

To study the biopharmaceutics characteristics of paris saponin VII (PSVII). The solubility of PSVII was evaluated by measurement of the equilibrium solubility in different solvents and media. The permeability of PSVII was evaluated by measuring the oil/water partition coefficient (lgP) and determining the apparent permeability coefficient (PC) on a mono-layer Caco-2 cell model. The effects of p-glycoprotein and multidrug resistance related protein 2 on PSVII transport in mono-layer Caco-2 cell model were further investigated. Finally, the small intestinal absorption of PSVII was investigated in rat. In solvents of different pH, the equilibrium solubility of PSVII was quite low, and the dose number of PSVII was larger than 1. The lgP of PSVII was less than 0. The apparent permeability coefficient [PC] of PSVII in mono-layer Caco-2 cell model was less than 14.96 × 10 cm·s, and the efflux ratio of PSVII in mono-layer Caco-2 cell model was less than 1. The transport rate of PSVII in mono-layer Caco-2 cell model was not affected by the inhibitors of p-glycoprotein and multidrug resistance related protein 2. After oral administration, PSVII could be detected in rat intestinal contents, but could not be detected in the small intestinal mucosa. PSVII showed low solubility and permeability, which would result in low oral bioavailability in clinic. PSVII belonged to Class IV compound in biopharmaceutics classification system.

PCC0208017, a novel small-molecule inhibitor of MARK3/MARK4, suppresses glioma progression and

Gliomas are the most common primary intracranial neoplasms among all brain malignancies, and the microtubule affinity regulating kinases (MARKs) have become potential drug targets for glioma. Here, we report a novel dual small-molecule inhibitor of MARK3 and MARK4, designated as PCC0208017. PCC0208017 strongly inhibited kinase activity against MARK3 and MARK4, and strongly reduced proliferation in three glioma cell lines. This compound attenuated glioma cell migration, glioma cell invasion, and angiogenesis. Molecular mechanism studies revealed that PCC0208017 decreased the phosphorylation of Tau, disrupted microtubule dynamics, and induced a G2/M phase cell cycle arrest. In an glioma model, PCC0208017 showed robust anti-tumor activity, blood-brain barrier permeability, and a good oral pharmacokinetic profile. Molecular docking studies showed that PCC0208017 exhibited high binding affinity to MARK3 and MARK4. Taken together, our study describes for the first time that PCC0208017, a novel MARK3/MARK4 inhibitor, might be a promising lead compound for treatment of glioma.

Preventive and therapeutic effects of Keluoxin Capsules on early diabetic retinopathy in db/db mice / 中国中药杂志

The aim of this paper was to investigate the preventive effects of Keluoxin Capsules(KLX) on diabetic retinopathy in db/db mice. One hundred male db/db diabetic mice(45-55 g, 8 weeks) were randomly divided into 5 groups(model, KLX low dose, KLX middle dose, KLX high dose, Dobesilate) and 20 male C57 BL/KsJdb~(+/+) were taken as control group. Body weight and fasting blood-glucose were detected every week. Mice were administrated with saline(control and model group), KLX(780, 1 560, 3 120 mg·kg~(-1)·d~(-1), ig), Dobesilate(195 mg·kg~(-1)·d~(-1), ig) for 20 weeks, respectively. At the end of the administration, optical coherence tomography, fundus fluorescein angiography and electroretinogram of the retina were measured. The eyeball was extirpated and retina was isolated to make paraffin section, followed by HE staining and glial fibrillary acidic protein(GFAP) immunohistochemistry. The results indicated that KLX has no obvious effect on body weight and fasting blood level in db/db mice. However, KLX could significantly regulate the thickness of retinal ganglion layer and inner plexiform layer. KLX was able to remarkably reduce the quantity of diabetic microvessel. Meanwhile, KLX could notably improve retinal function. Moreover, KLX could observably modulate the cell arrangement and edema in each layer. There was no markable difference in retina according to the immunochemistry assay. In the present study, KLX exert marked preventive effects on diabetic retinopathy in db/db mice, which provided an experimental evidence for clinical use.

Conclusion:High temperature has effect on stability of phenolic acids in Danshen extract and Danshen capsules, in order to ensure the quality of them, high temperature environment should be avoided.In order to prevent excessive moisture absorption of Danshen capsules and its intermediates, the relative humidity in the production and storage environment should be controlled below the corresponding CRH.

Application progress of arterial spin labeling technology in the field of cognitive dysfunction / 国际脑血管病杂志

Arterial spin labeling (ASL) technology is a popular technique for evaluating and studying cerebral perfusion in recent years. It can sensitively detect the abnormal cerebral perfusion and effectively avoid the potential risks caused by exogenous contrast agents in other tests. Detection of the abnormal cerebral blood flow perfusion by ASL technology can early predict cognitive decline in normal elderly, explore the pathogeneses of mild cognitive dysfunction and Alzheimer's disease, and evaluate the cerebral blood flow around the ischemic focus and the establishment of collateral circulation in patients with aphasia after stroke. At the same time, it is verified that the decrease of cerebral blood flow perfusion is another precipitating factor of primary progressive aphasia except cortex atrophy. Although there are still some limitations, the ASL technology has a good prospect in the application of cognitive disorders.

Effects of harpagide on nerve cell and caspase-independent apoptotic signaling pathway in MCAO mice / 中国药理学通报

Aim To study the effects of harpagide on hippocampal neurons, mitochondrial function and caspase-independent apoptosis pathway after cerebral ischemia in mice. Methods The middle cerebral ar-tery occlusion (MCAO ) was employed to establish MCAO model. After that,the mice were given harp-agide (4,8,12 mg·kg - 1 )and edaravone (3. 2 mg ·kg - 1 )by tail vein injection after MCAO immediate-ly,and the model and control mice were given equal a-mounts of saline by the same way. After MCAO for 6 h,the apoptosis rate of hippocampal neuron and the mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP)of MCAO mice were detected by flow cytometry. We observed the clarity of inner and outer membrane of the hipp-ocampal neuronal mitochondrial,the integrity of the mitochondrial cristae,the changes of matrix electron density of mitochondria,and mitochondria swelling by transmission electron microscopy. Western blot was employed to determine the expression of apoptosis in-duced factor (AIF)and endonuclease G (Endo G)in mitochondrion and pro-caspase-3 in endochylema. qPCR was employed to determine the expression of AIF and Endo G. Results Compared with control group, the apoptosis rate of hippocampal neuron of MCAO mice significantly increased(P < 0. 01),the MMP of hippocampal neuron significantly decreased and the mi-tochondrial ultrastructure of cerebral ischemic area was severely damaged, loosely arranged and obviously swollen;the expression of AIF and Endo G in mito-chondria of cerebral tissue of MCAO mice significantly decreased,and the releases of AIF and Endo G signifi-cantly increased(P < 0. 01);the expressions of AIF, Endo G mRNA were evidently up-regulated (P <0. 01). Compared with model group,each dose of harpagide could significantly decrease the apoptosis rate of hippocampal neurons of mice brain (P < 0 . 05 ,P < 0. 01);MMP markedly increased in hippocampal nerve cells(P < 0. 01);the ultrastructure of neuronal mitochondria was obviously improved. Compared with model group,harpagide (8,12 mg·kg - 1 )could sig-nificantly increase the expression of AIF and Endo G protein in mitochondria of mouse brain,and the release of mitochondrial AIF and Endo G protein decreased(P< 0. 05,P < 0. 01);harpagide (4 mg·kg - 1 )could significantly increase the expression of Endo G protein in mitochondria of mouse brain,and the release of En-do G protein markedly decreased (P < 0. 05);harp-agide (8,12 mg·kg - 1 )could significantly decrease the expression of AIF and Endo G mRNA in hippocam-pus of mice(P < 0. 05,P < 0. 01). Conclusion The protective effect of harpagide on MCAO may be related to the protective effects on cerebral nerve cells,the ac-tivity of the mitochondria and the inhibition of caspase-independent apoptotic signaling pathways.
