ABSTRACT
Aim To investigate the hub genes associated with response to valproate treatment in patients with epilepsy by using weighted gene co-expression network analysis.Methods We downloaded data from the GEO database and constructed the gene co-expression network.Pearson correlation test was used to calculate the correlation between module genes and clinical traits, to screen gene modules significantly associated with response to valproate treatment, and to screen hub genes according to the connectivity within modules.GO functional enrichment analysis and KEGG pathway analysis were used to annotate the functions of the modules.Results A total of 12 gene co-expression modules were constructed from the correlations of gene expression, in which the yellow module was significantly correlated with the drug treatment(r=0.57, P<0.000 1)and the blue module was significantly correlated with the response to valproate(r=-0.53, P<0.000 1).We found that S1PR5, SARM1 and MAGED1, FBXO31 were in the hub of the co-expression network.The biological annotation function revealed that the genes in both modules were mainly enriched in immune response and MPAK pathways.Conclusions Our work delivers preliminary data that valproate treatment causes the changes of immune and metabolic pathways in patients, and the response to epilepsy may be related to the expression of MAGED1, FBXO31.
ABSTRACT
In this study, bovine serum albumin (BSA)/methylglyoxal (MGO) non-enzymatic glycosylation reaction system was used for the evaluation of the inhibitory effects of Moutan Cortex extracts on the formation of AGEs. The HPLC-LC-ESI-MS/MS technology was adopted to test and indentify active components in Moutan Cortex against AGEs formation. The different concentrations of extracts (crude herb concentration 50, 100, 150, 200, 250 g•L⁻¹) from Moutan Cortexwas determined by fluorospectrophotometry, indicating an activity against AGEs formation in different concentrations of extracts, the inhibition ratio were (36.2±5.3)%, (43.5±6.2)%, (55.4±7.8)%, (68.6±6.7)%, (70.4±8.2)%, respectively after 6-day reaction in a dose dependent manner. Besides, the forming speed of AGEs tended to be steady after 24 h reaction. The HPLC technology was used to analyze chromatograms before and after the incubation of Moutan Cortex and methylglyoxal, identify changes in five chromatographic peaks and show decrease or increase in chromatographic peaks. These substances were trigalloyl glucose, tetragalloyl glucose, galloylpaeoniflorin, hexagalloyl glucose and benzoylpaeoniflorin after LC-ESI-MS/MS identification. Extracts from Moutan Cortex showed the remarkable inhibitory effects against formation of AGEs in BSA/glucose system. Furthermore, these potential active components might be associated with the efficacy of Moutan Cortex on treatment of diabetic nephropathy, which enriches basic studies for Moutan Cortex and provides ideas and reference basis for subsequent studies.
ABSTRACT
To evaluate the protective effects of glycosides/phenol component of Moutan Cortex (MC) on renal injury of diabetic nephropathy (DN) rats based on renal function parameters and histopathological examinations(HE staining and transmission electron microscope),and explore its possible mechanism by establishing DN rat models induced by high-sugar high-fat diet combined with streptozotocin (STZ). The results showed that compared with the model group, the MC glycosides/phenol component high and low dose groups(0.808, 0.404 g•kg⁻¹•d⁻¹) could significantly improve serum creatinine, blood urea nitrogen, urine protein and other abnormal renal function parameters. HE staining and transmission electron microscope results showed thickening of glomerular basement membrane, proliferation of mesangial cells and damages of podocyte structure in major rats of model group. However, the intervention of glycosides/phenol component of MC could effectively protect the glomerular injury. To explore its possible mechanism, the expressions of TGF-β1, fibronectin (FN) and collagen Ⅳ in renal tissues of rats in each group were detected by Western blot and immunohistochemical assay, and the phosphorylation levels of downstream effect factors (Smad2/3, p38MARK) of TGF-β1 were detected. The results showed that glycosides/phenol component of MC could effectively antagonize the activity of TGF-β1, lower the expressions of fibronectin (FN) and collagen Ⅳ inextracellular matrix (ECM), and resist against the thickening of glomerular basement membrane. More importantly, its protective effect on renal injury in DN rats may be associated with interfering the conduction of Smad, MARK pathways and resisting against the TGF-β1-induced ECM accumulation.

The study on the pharmacokinetics of traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs) is a linking science during the modernization of TCMs, and plays an important role in the studies on the complex material base of TCMs, the in vivo process of ingredient/ component and the pharmacokinetics-pharmacodynamics correlation. However, because of the multi-ingredient/component system of TCMs, how to scientifically reveal the pharmacokinetics that is consistent with TCMs' characteristics has long been a hotspot and difficulty for the exploration. The optimal composition structure of the material basis of TCMs shows the best efficacy, while the difference between the multi-ingredient/component composition structures in the efficacy is closely related to their absorption, transport, metabolism and excretion in vivo. In this article, the authors systematically review the study methods for pharmacokinetics of TCMs and their compounds, and explore the pharmacokinetics of TCMs based on the "component structure theory". As a result, the method for integrating TCM component structure and the TCM pharmacokinetics was proposed to be adopted to intensively study the effect of the component structure on the in vivo TCM multi-ingredient/component pharmacokinetic characteristics, in order to promote the TCM modernization and innovation in China.

As traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) preparation products feature complex compounds and multiple preparation processes, the implementation of quality control in line with the characteristics of TCM preparation products provides a firm guarantee for the clinical efficacy and safety of TCM preparation products. Danshen infusion solution is a preparation commonly used in clinic, but its quality control is restricted to indexes of finished products, which can not guarantee its inherent quality. Our study group has proposed "multi-dimensional structure and process dynamics quality control system" on the basis of "component structure theory", for the purpose of controlling the quality of Danshen infusion solution at multiple levels and in multiple links from the efficacy-related material basis, the safety-related material basis, the characteristics of dosage form to the preparation process. This article, we bring forth new ideas and models to the quality control of TCM preparation products.

Appropriate dosage forms of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) preparation products, improve effectively drug efficacy and reduce side effects, and also facilitate the use in clinic. In addition, it may also promote the development of the modernization of TCM. TCMs were developed to finish products which possessed suitable dosage form characteristics through multiple steps from raw herbs to preparation. In this paper, we discussed other two key technologies of "multi-dimensional structure & process dynamic quality control system": (1) The dosage form is an important factor affecting the efficacy and safety for the prevention and treatment of diseases. Therefore, the control of the quality of the formulation characteristics is more important. (2) Process dynamic quality control: the dynamic quality control in the production process is particularly critical because drugs are produced rather than testing. In this paper, the paper demonstrates the important role of the system in the quality control of TCM for strengthening the quality control of the production process of TCM preparation, and then further providing a theoretical basis for improving the efficacy of TCM products.

Safety is an important component of the quality control of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) preparation products, as well as an important guarantee for clinical application. Currently, the quality control of TCMs in Chinese Pharmacopoeia mostly focuses on indicative compounds for TCM efficacy. TCM preparations are associated with multiple links, from raw materials to products, and each procedure may have impacts on the safety of preparation. We make a summary and analysis on the factors impacting safety during the preparation of TCM products, and then expound the important role of the "multi-dimensional structure and process dynamic quality control technology system" in the quality safety of TCM preparations. Because the product quality of TCM preparation is closely related to the safety, the control over safety-related material basis is an important component of the product quality control of TCM preparations. The implementation of the quality control over the dynamic process of TCM preparations from raw materials to products, and the improvement of the TCM quality safety control at the microcosmic level help lay a firm foundation for the development of the modernization process of TCM preparations.

The quality control is one of the key problems in the modernization and internationalization of traditional Chinese medicines (TCM). As TCMs have the characteristics of integrity and systematicness, their effect in disease prevention and treatment is the result of multi-component synergistic effect. Currently, the quality control of TCMs is mostly measured with a single index, which can not reflect the integrity of TCMs. As TCM components could play the role in preventing and treating diseases through multiple targets and channels, only if we expound the specific composition and structural relations among inherent components, and determine the optimum composition and structure ratio of TCMs in preventing and treating diseases and revealing their optimal efficiency, safety and stability, can we get rid of the conventional quantitative model, and realize the scientific integral quality control in a real sense. On the basis of the component structure theory, we propose "multi-dimensional structure and process dynamics quality control system" in this article, and systematically expound the optimal efficiency of TCMs, in order to provide a theoretical basis for improving the efficacy of TCM preparation products.

Geoherbs, playing an indispensable role in the protection and the treatment of disease, has been demonstrated to be the treasure in Chinese medicine clinical. Geoherbs possessed the best quality and curative effect due to their distinctive inside chemical ingredients/components. In recent years, a lot of achievements were obtained in geoherbs research on chemistry; however, there was also much confusion in existence. More and more studies revealed that the better curative effect on geoherbs was attributed to its architectural feature with steady and well-organized in unique ingredients/components constituent, but not for the characteristic single chemical ingredient. The "constituent structure theory" suggested that the material base of geoherbs consist of different components of which compatibility proportion relationship was optimal. In addition, the single active ingredients had their unique three-dimensional structure. This paper explained the peculiarity of geoherbs material base based on constituent structure theory from there layers and multi-dimensional structure to geoherbs material base research in a new way.

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To explore the associations and related factors between pulse wave velocity (PWV) and arterial system and augmentation index (AI) measured on different sites in a healthy population.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>All subjects were selected from a local community investigation study which included 5116 people living in Haidian District or Daxing District, Beijing, China. A total of 729 healthy subjects [age 17 - 85 years, mean (39.2 ± 12.2) years, 413 men] were included in this study. Carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (CF-PWV), carotid-radial pulse wave velocity (CR-PWV) and carotid-ankle pulse wave velocity (CA-PWV) were measured using Complior. Pulse wave analysis at the right radial artery was measured and AI was calculated using SphygmoCor device.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>CF-PWV correlated significantly with CR-PWV or CA-PWV (all P < 0.01) by both Pearson and Partial Correlation analysis adjusted by age, body mass index, waist-hip ratio, systolic blood pressure, diastolic pressure and heart rate. There was no significant correlation between AI and CR-PWV (r = -0.072, P = 0.053) and between AI and CR-PWV (r = 0.024, P = 0.528), AI and CA-PWV (r = 0.068, P = 0.070) while AI was significantly correlated with CF-PWV (r = 0.110, P = 0.003). Multiple stepwise regression analyses showed that age, systolic blood pressure and heart rate were positively while female gender was negatively correlated with CF-PWV. CR-PWV was positively correlated with diastolic blood pressure and negatively correlated with pulse pressure and female gender (R(2) = 0.155). CA-PWV was positively correlated with systolic blood pressure and age while negatively correlated with pulse pressure and female gender. Multiple stepwise regression analysis also demonstrated that AI was positively correlated with age, diastolic blood pressure, low density lipoprotein cholesterol and female gender, and negatively correlated with heart rate, height and serum creatinine level(R(2) = 0.536).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>CA-PWV, covering carotid-femoral arterial segment, could partially represent CF-PWV as an indicator of large arterial stiffness. CR-PWV mainly reflects peripheral muscular arterial stiffness and is not suitable to be used interchangeably with CF-PWV or CA-PWV. Component of blood pressure (systolic, diastolic or pulse pressure) may have different influences on CF-PWV, CA-PWV or CR-PWV. AI is affected by multiple factors and poorly correlated with PWV and is not a good indicator for arterial stiffness.</p>
