ABSTRACT
To explore the network pharmacological mechanisms of four anti-vitiligo Uyghur medicines based on the Phlegmatic temperament theory. First, The anti-vitiligo Uyghur medicine formulas based on Phlegmatic temperament theory were collected. The pharmacokinetic characteristic of main compounds in four anti-vitiligo Uyghur medicines were obtained by using admetSAR. The targets of active compounds were predicted via bSDTNBI (balanced substructure-drug-target network-based inference model) method. Then, biological process (BP) and molecular function (MF) enrichment analysis of targets were analysed via DAVID database. Constructing anti-vitiligo Uyghur medicine formula-Uyghur medicines network model (FMI network) and Uyghur medicines-active compounds-targets-BP-Hilit network model (MCTBHI network), we utilized closeness centrality to analyse key Uyghur medicines, active compounds, key targets as well as Hilit. Finally, the in vitro melanin production model of C57BL/6 mice was used to verify the ability of the active compounds to improve melanogenesis. The results showed that Psoralea corylifolia, Vernonia anthelmintica, Syzygium aromaticum and Anacyclus pyrethrum were the key Uyghur medicines in the FMI network. There were 22 active compounds with a relatively higher bioavailability interacted with 58 therapeutic targets. These active compounds were mainly composed of coumarins and flavonoids. In the MCTBHI network, the MF of 58 therapeutic targets was related to steroid hormone receptor activity, heme binding and enzyme binding functhon. Classification of the Hilit according to the BP of 58 therapeutic targets, the first place was the blood, followed by the lymph, the cerebrospinal fluid and digestive juice. It was found that the expression of some targets located in the skin was closed to the heart muscle, lymph node, spleen, cerebral cortex and so on, which were the main places for Hilit. In particular, ESR1, PTGS2, PPARA, PPARG, PTGS1 and CA2 were regulated by the flavonoids (kaempferide and isorhamnetin). The in vitro melanin production model showed that kaempferide and isorhamnetin could promote the melanin production in C57BL/6 mice ear skin. Based on admetSAR and bSDTNBI, we used network pharmacological method to construct a systematic means of studying anti-vitiligo Uyghur medicines, providing clues for the further study of the modern molecular mechanisms of Phlegmatic temperament.

ABSTRACT
Objective To study effects from sand therapy of Uyghur medicine on hemodynamics in femoral artery branch and stress, so as to further discuss the functions and mechanisms of Uyghur sand therapy for treatment of femoral artery thrombosis formation. Methods Uyghur sand therapy was conducted on the subjects by indoor Uyghur sand therapy system. The peak values of blood flow velocity, inner diameter and resistance index (RI) of femoral artery before and after receiving Uyghur sand therapy were measured by the ultra-portable Doppler Diagnostic Ultrasound System for statistic analysis. Three-dimensional fluid-solid coupling model of femoral artery branch was reconstructed, and blood flow velocity, pressure, wall shear stress in the flow field as well as the equivalent stress, strain, total displacement on femoral artery wall were simulated and analyzed by the ANSYS Workbench. Results After receiving Uyghur sand therapy, the mean peak values of blood flow velocity and inner diameter of femoral artery increased by 32.43% and 2.68%, while the mean values of RI decreased by 4.88%, which showed it had the statistical difference(P0.05).Besides, the maximum values of blood flow velocity, pressure and wall shear stress increased by 29.91%，68.51%,46.54%,respectively, while the maximum values of equivalent stress, equivalent strain, total displacement on femoral artery wall increased by 65.85%，45.45%，44%, respectively, after receiving Uyghur sand therapy. Conclusions Uyghur sand therapy can increase blood flow velocity and decrease RI obviously，and help to expand the inner diameter of femoral artery to make blood circulation inside improved. With Uyghur sand therapy, the shear stress, blood flow velocity, pressure as well as the stress, strain, total displacement on femoral artery walls also increase, meanwhile，high pressure area on femoral artery branch reduces to some extent, which shows it plays a certain positive role in reducing atherosclerosis and thrombus formation inside femoral artery.

Hematological parameters including RBC, HGB, MCH, MCHC, LYMP%, WBC, and PLT; biochemical parameters including ALT,AST, ALP, GLU, BUN, ALB ,TBIL, Crea, TCHO, TG, and CK; electrolyte time parameters such as K+, Na+, Cl-and prothrombin time(PT) showed statistically significant differences (P <0.05 and P <0.01), but did not show time and dose effect regularity, and no pathological significance.Conclusions No obvious toxic effects on hematological parameters are observed in the SD rats treated with Kursi Kaknaq at doses of 0.32 g, 1.6 g, or 3.2 g (crude drug) /kg? d orally administered for 180 days, indicating that this drug is safe for long-term clinical use.
