Regulation of Histone Acetylation by Traditional Chinese Medicine in Prevention and Treatment of Alzheimer's Disease： A Review / 中国实验方剂学杂志

Alzheimer's disease （AD） is a neurodegenerative disease with progressive losses of memory and cognitive function as the main clinical manifestations. It is difficult to be cured because of the complex pathogenesis. Histone acetylation regulates gene transcription and chromosome structure remodeling without changing the coding sequences of genes， participating in the pathological process of AD via modulating the amyloid beta-protein （Aβ） deposition， Tau phosphorylation， neuron growth， and synaptic plasticity. Traditional Chinese medicine can prevent and control AS via multiple targets and pathways from a holistic view. Animal and cell experiments have proven that traditional Chinese medicine can attenuate AD by regulating histone acetylation. Focusing on the key role of histone acetylation in AD， this study reviews the relevant studies in the last five years from the aspects of active ingredients of traditional Chinese medicine and traditional Chinese medicine compound prescriptions. The available studies suggest that the main mechanisms involve antagonizing apoptosis， inhibiting oxidative stress， ameliorating Tau and Aβ deposition， maintaining synaptic function， nourishing neurons， and repairing myelin sheath. The treatment methods include invigorating kidney and tranquilizing mind， tonifying spleen and harmonizing middle energizer， and opening orifices and resolving phlegm. The commonly used herbal medicines in compound prescriptions include Poria， Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma， Chuanxiong Rhizoma， Acori Tatarinowii Rhizoma， and Paeoniae Radix Alba. The findings indicate that traditional Chinese medicine demonstrates great potential in the prevention and treatment of AD， providing a theoretical basis for the clinical treatment and research of AD.

Intervention of Traditional Chinese Medicine in NLRP3 Signaling Pathway for Prevention and Treatment of Alzheimer's Disease： A Review / 中国实验方剂学杂志

Alzheimer's disease （AD） is a neurodegenerative disease often characterized by cognitive impairment in clinical practice. The main pathogenesis includes β amyloid protein （Aβ） excessive deposition， neuroinflammatory response， Tau protein hyperphosphorylation， and other factors， and currently only a few chemical drugs have been approved for clinical treatment of AD. The mechanism of action is relatively single， so it is imperative to find new treatment strategies. Traditional Chinese medicine theory believes that the loss of nourishment in the brain and marrow， as well as the loss of vital energy， is the internal mechanisms underlying the occurrence and development of AD， which runs through the entire treatment process. The pathogenesis of AD is closely related to the inflammasome signaling pathway of nucleotide binding oligomerization domain-like receptor protein 3 （NLRP3）. Activating the NLRP3 signaling pathway increases neuroinflammatory response， intervenes in microglial polarization， and regulates Aβ sedimentation， cellular autophagy， brain homeostasis， etc. This article takes the NLRP3 signaling pathway as the starting point to sort out and summarize the upstream and downstream targets under the AD mechanism in the past five years， as well as the research on the NLRP3 signal pathway targets with the participation of the relevant traditional Chinese medicine compounds， such as Danggui Shaoyaosan， modified Shuyu Wan， Qingxin Kaiqiao prescription， Kaixin San， Jiedu Yizhi prescription， and modified Buwang San， traditional Chinese medicine monomer extracts， such as silibinin， Lycium barbarum polysaccharides， liquiritigenin， salidroside， baicalin， cinnamaldehyde， betaine， acacetin， and Hericium erinaceus， and acupuncture and moxibustion. It also reviews the latest achievements in the prevention and treatment of AD. This study provides ideas and directions for in-depth research on the prevention and treatment of cognitive dysfunction related diseases with traditional Chinese medicine.

Regulation of Nrf2 Pathway by Traditional Chinese Medicine in Prevention and Treatment of Alzheimer's Disease： A Review / 中国实验方剂学杂志

Alzheimer's disease （AD） is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by a progressive decline in memory and cognitive function. β-amyloid protein （Aβ） aggregation and excessive phosphorylation of Tau protein in the brain can increase oxidative stress levels， leading to energy metabolism imbalance， extensive apoptosis of nerve cells， and damage to synaptic function. The nuclear factor E2 related factor 2 （Nrf2） encoded by the Nfe212 gene is known as the "main regulatory factor" of antioxidant response. On the one hand， It can activate antioxidant response elements， such as heme oxygenase-1 （HO-1） and NAD（P）H quinone oxidoreductase1 （NQO1）， increase the expression of antioxidant enzymes glutathione S-transfer （GST） and superoxide dismutase 1 （SOD1）， and reduce the release of reactive oxygen species. On the other hand， it can inhibit immune inflammation， cell apoptosis， and activation of autophagy pathways and delay the progression of AD. Therefore， this article summarized， analyzed， and reviewed the relevant research on the regulation of the Nrf2 signaling pathway by traditional Chinese medicine in the prevention and treatment of AD in the past five years， including its structural characteristics， pathway conduction， mechanism of action in AD， and drug regulation. The results showed that among all reports， research on traditional Chinese medicine compounds occupied a high proportion and mostly focused on flavonoids， with the Nrf2/HO-1 and PI3K/Nrf2 signaling pathways being the most extensively studied. The mechanisms of action were mainly to inhibit oxidative stress， neuroinflammation， and cell apoptosis and improve synaptic function. This indicates that traditional Chinese medicine can regulate multiple Nrf2 signaling pathways and play a role in preventing and treating Alzheimer's disease from multiple mechanisms.

The median age was 30 (18-92) months. All of cases had a intact prepucs and a normal external urethal meatus located at the tip of glans. Fistula located at subcoronal culus in 2 cases, midshaft in 3 cases, penioscrotal region in 1 case, scrotum in 1 case, respectively.Defect longitudinal diameter was 0.5-1.5cm. Associated anomalies including division of scrotum in 3 cases, penile chordee in 2 cases, urethral meatus stenosis in 1 case, right hydrocele in 1 case. Six cases had underwent one-stage fistula repair incluing Duplay procedure in 4 cases(case 1, 2, 4 and 6), Onlay preputial flap in 1 case(case 3), TIP repair with dorsal plication for straightening and urethrotomy in 1 case(case 5). Case 7 had underwent a two-stage repair, which received Duckett flap repair with urethrostomy simultaneously at the base of the penis, and the defect was closed in second procedure. All of neourethras were reinforced by soft tissues from different places.Results:Of 6 cases with one-stage repair, the catheter was removed 10-14 days after surgery in 5 cases. Removal of the catheter was delayed until 3 weeks in case 3 because of poor wound healing. Case 7 received Duckett flap repair with urethrostomy in the initial surgery, who recovered uneventfully and was resolved during the second operation. No recurrence, urethral stricture or chordee occurence were noted in all after a 1-8 years followup period.Conclusions:Congenital anterior urethrocutaneous fistula have a high overall success rate.Duplay could be applied to cases without penile curvature, and well-developed urethral plate. Onlay or TIP is more suitable for cases with narrow urethral plate. The principle of hypospadias repair should be followed for those cases with severe penile curvature.

Establishment of a Method for Determination of Amygdalin in Quality Control System of Qingfei Paidu Granules / 中国实验方剂学杂志

ObjectiveAlmond， which is bitter in taste， contains traces of toxic substances. For the sake of the safety of prescriptions containing this medicinal material， the processing method of "soaking in boiling water" was selected. Moreover， through literature research and network pharmacology， the characteristic index of this medicinal material was determined. On this basis， a method was established for the determination of amygdalin in Qingfei Paidu Granules （QFPD） and the transfer rate of it in the processing of this prescription was monitored， aiming at improving the quality control system of QFPD. MethodThe high performance liquid chromatography conditions are as follows： YMC Triart C18 column （4.6 mm × 150 mm， 5 µm）， mobile phase of methanol-water with flow of 1.0 mL·min-1， column temperature of 35 ℃， and detection wavelength of 210 nm. ResultThe linear curve fitted well and the average recovery of amygdalin was 97.74% with RSD of 4.3%. The transfer rates of amygdalin from the medicinal material to the extract， from extract to concentrate， and from concentrate to granules were investigated with this method. The result showed that the average transfer rate from the medicinal material to the granules was （60±3.91）%. The comparison of transfer rate between the processes suggesting that the extraction of the medicinal material might be the key part influencing the prescription preparation. ConclusionThe method is simple， sensitive， reproducible， stable， and accurate， and the index is reasonable. Thus， the method can be used for the quality control of QFPD and determination of transfer rate of components in the preparation of QFPD. This study further improves the quality control standard of almond in QFPD， which can serve as a reference for the clinical application of QFPD.
