RESUMO

Aim To explore the molecular mechanism of Selaginella moelledorffii Hieron. in the treatment of laryngeal cancer. Methods According to the relevant literature reports, the chemical constituents of S. moellendorffii were obtained, and the active ingredients were screened out through the SwissADME database, and the targets were screened through the PharmMapper database. The laryngeal cancer-related targets were collected by searching OMIM and other databases, and the Venny 2.1.0 online platform was used to obtain the intersection of the two. Protein interaction analysis of the potential targets was performed using the STRNG platform. GO functional analysis and KEGG pathway analysis was carried out using DAVID database. Visual networks were built with Cytoscape 3.8.0 software. Molecular docking was validated by SYBYL-X 2. 0 software. MTT method, Hoechst 33258 staining method and Western blotting were also used for validation. Results At the molecular level, a total of 110 active ingredients of S. moellendorffii and 82 drug targets were screened out, 1,608 targets related to laryngeal cancer, and intersection of 34 targets. GO analysis yielded 135 entries, and KEGG analysis yielded a total of 61 pathways. Molecular docking results showed that the 11 key active ingredients such as 2", 3"-dihydrooch-naflavone wood flavonoids and 4 core target proteins such as MAPK1 had 95. 5% of good docking activity. At the cellular level, SM-BFRE was screened for its strongest inhibitory effect on laryngeal cancer cell proliferation through MTT assay. Furthermore, Hoechst 33258 staining showed that the decrease in Hep-2 cell viability produced by SM-BFRE was related to cell apoptosis. Finally, Western blot verified that SM-BFRE inhibited PI3K/Akt/NF through inhibition- K B/COX-2 pathway to induce apoptosis in laryngeal cancer cells. Conclusions To sum up, it fully reflects the multicomponent, multi-target, and multi-channel synergistic effect of S. moellendorffii in the treatment of laryngeal cancer, and provides a theoretical reference for further elucidation of the mechanism of action of S. moellendorffii in the treatment of laryngeal cancer.

RESUMO

By summarizing and exploring the theoretic connotation, key of functions and effect mechanism of acupoint compatibility, the effect of acupoint compatibility is concluded as the increase of "effect value" and the expansion of "effect domain". The increase of "effect value" is the concrete embodiment by the value of medical assessment scale, the value of objective index detection in clinical trial and the value of index detection in experiment research. The expansion of "effect domain" is the increase of effect target and the extension of effect scope. The paper interprets the scientific connotation of acupoint compatibility therapy from a new perspective, and emphasizes the innovative approaches to research while bringing forth new ideas on the research method. It is anticipated that a novel breakthrough can be achieved in the study of acupoint compatibility and the improvement of acupuncture-moxibustion efficacy.

RESUMO

The probable influence of electromagnetic irradiation on cancer treatment has been deduced from the interaction of artificial electromagnetic emissions with biological organisms. Nonetheless, the suspected health effects induced by electromagnetic-based technology imply that such a treatment may contaminate the adjacent healthy cells. Thus, gaining mechanistic insights into the problem is required to avoid athermal health hazards. To tackle that, the current review, based upon in vitro studies into assorted cell lines, depicts the alterations in physiological processes triggered by electromagnetic irradiation via addressing gene regulatory cascades. Furthermore, decisive factors in the hypothesized cause-effect linkage in terms of the cell line-associated, exposure-associated, or endpoint-associated parameters are highlighted. As a result, subcellular structures such as aberrant Ca2+ channels, rich glycocalyx charge, or high water content in cancerous cells, which have attracted a great deal of attention, can explain their higher susceptibility compared with healthy cells under irradiation. Affected by cell components or geometry, the cellular biological window correlates with the metabolic or cell cycle status and determines the irradiation that causes the maximum influence. For instance, correlations between the frequency (or intensity) of irradiation and cell excitability or between the duration of irradiation and cell doubling time are observed. There are unspecified signaling pathways such as the pathway of PPAR-γ or MAPKs, and also proteins devoid of any investigation such as p14, or S phase-related and G2 phase-related proteins. Other chains, such as the cAMP connection with mitochondrial ATP or ERK signaling, the association of Hsps releases with signaling pathways of MAPKs, or the role of different ion channels in regulating various cell processes, require further investigation.

RESUMO

The environmental transformation and health effects of endocrine disruptors (EDCs) need urgent attention, particularly the formation of transformation products with higher toxicity than parent EDCs. In this paper, an important transformation product dimer (short for ethyl 4-hydroxy-3-(2-((4-hydroxybenzoyl) oxy) ethyl) benzoate) with estrogenic activity was investigated and detected in the photolysis of preservative ethyl-paraben (EPB) dissolved in actual water. The environmental factors, such as the higher initial concentration of EPB, the stronger optical power and the lower pH could stimulate the formation of the dimer. Simultaneously, the interaction of multiple environmental factors was significant, especially the initial concentration and pH using the response surface methodology. Furthermore, the relationship between the environmental factors and the formation of the product dimer was further explained and the empirical model equation was built for predicting the amount of dimer in actual water. Quantum chemical and toxicological calculations showed the estrogenic effect mechanism of the product dimer and it was revealed further that the hydrogen bonds of the dimer and ERα proteins (ARG-394, Glu-353, His-524, GYY-521) were formed, with a lowest binding energy of -8.38 Kcal/mol during molecular docking. In addition, the health effect risk of the product dimer was higher than the parent compound in the blood, cardiovascular system, gastrointestinal system, kidney and liver. In short, the present study was of great significance for the transformation product in pollution control and health effects in the photolysis of EDCs.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Tanshinone I (Tan I) is known as one of the important active components in Salvia miltiorrhiza. In recent years, Tan I has received a substantial amount of attention from the research community for various studies being updated and has been shown to possess favorable activities including anti-oxidative stress, regulation of cell autophagy or apoptosis, inhibition of inflammation, etc. PURPOSE: To summarize the investigation progress on the anti-disease efficacy and effect mechanism of Tan I in recent years, and provide perspectives for future study on the active ingredient. METHOD: Web of Science and PubMed databases were used to search for articles related to "Tanshinone I" published from 2010 to 2022. Proteins or genes and signaling pathways referring to Tan I against diseases were summarized and classified along with its different therapeutic actions. Protein-protein interaction (PPI) analysis was then performed, followed by molecular docking between proteins with high node degree and Tan I, as well as bioinformactic analysis including GO, KEGG and DO enrichment analysis with the collected proteins or genes. RESULTS: Tan I shows multiple therapeutic effects, including protection of the cardiovascular system, anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, anti-neurodegenerative diseases, etc. The targets (proteins or genes) affected by Tan I against diseases involve Bcl-2, Bid, ITGA2, PPAT, AURKA, VEGF, PI3K, AKT, PRK, JNK, MMP9, ABCG2, CASP3, Cleaved-caspase-3, AMPKα, PARP, etc., and the regulatory pathways refer to Akt/Nrf2, SAPK/JNK, PI3K/Akt/mTOR, JAK/STAT3, ATF-2/ERK, etc. What's more, AKT1, CASP3, and STAT3 were predicted as the key action targets for Tan I by PPI analysis combined with molecular docking, and the potential therapeutic effects mechanisms against diseases were also further predicted by bioinformatics analyses based on the reported targets, providing new insights into the future investigation and helping to facilitate the drug development of Tan I.

RESUMO

Back mixing was frequently used to replace conventional bulking agenting, however, however, the internal effect mechanism was unclear. This study compared four bulking agents: mushroom residue (MR), MR + primary BM (BM-P), BM-P, and secondary BM (BM-S). The effect mechanism of back mixing (BM) inoculation was assessed based on biodrying performance and microbial community succession. Four trials (Trial A, Trial B, Trial C, and Trial D) reached maximum temperatures of 61.9, 68.8, 73.7, and 69.9 °C on days 6, 3, 2, and 2, respectively. Application of BM increased pile warming rate and resulted in higher temperatures. Temperature changes and microbial competition lead to decline in microbial diversity and richness during the biodrying process. Microbial diversity increased of four biodried products. The number of microorganisms shared by Trial A, Trial B, Trial C, and Trial D were 90, 119, 224, and 300, respectively. The addition of BM improved microbial community stability, and facilitating the initiation of biodrying process. Microbial genera that played an important role in the biodrying process included Ureibacillus, Bacillus, Sphaerobacter, and Tepidimicrobium. Based on these results, it was concluded that BM was efficient method to enhanced the microbial activity and reduced the usage of bulking agent.

RESUMO

Polysaccharide is a recognized immunomodulator that has been shown to have inhibitory effects on a variety of cancer cells and has the potential to be developed as an anti-cancer drug. Pancreatic cancer, one of the cancers with the highest mortality rate, is treated with long-term chemotherapeutic drugs and is prone to a variety of side effects such as immune deficiency, fatigue, and neurological lesions. The polysaccharide anti-pancreatic cancer research landscape both domestically and internationally is summarized in this publication. By regulating nuclear factor-κB, Hippo-Yes-associated protein, integrin and other signaling pathways, polysaccharide components play an anti-pancreatic cancer role by multi-target ways, such as inducing apoptosis and autophagy, inhibiting proliferation, migration and invasion of cancer cells, and regulating the cancer cell cycle.

RESUMO

Red Sour Soup (RSS) is a traditional fermented food in China. After two rounds of fermentation, sour soup has a mellow flavor. However, the microbial composition and flavor formation processes in post-fermentation in RSS are unclear. This study investigates the bacteria composition of RSS during the post-fermentation stage (0-180 days) using high-throughput sequencing. The results show that lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are dominant during the post-fermentation process, and their abundance gradually increases with fermentation time. Additionally, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry was used to detect volatile flavor compounds in the post-fermentation process. Seventy-seven volatile flavor compounds were identified, including 24 esters, 14 terpenes, 9 aromatic hydrocarbons, 9 alkanes, 6 heterocyclic compounds, 3 alcohols, 3 acids, 3 ketones, 2 phenols, 2 aldehydes, 1 amine, and 1 other. Esters and aromatic hydrocarbons are the main volatile compounds in RSS during the post-fermentation process. Orthogonal partial least squares screening and correlation analysis derived several significant correlations, including 48 pairs of positive correlations and 19 pairs of negative correlations. Among them, Acetobacter spp., Clostridium spp. and Sporolactobacillus spp. have 15, 14, 20 significant correlation pairs, respectively, and are considered the most important bacterial genera post-fermentation. Volatile substances become abundant with increasing fermentation time. LAB are excessive after more than 120 days but cause a drastic reduction in volatile ester levels. Thus, the post-fermentation time should be restricted to 120 days, which retains the highest concentrations of volatile esters in RSS. Overall, these findings provide a theoretical basis to determine an optimal post-fermentation time duration, and identify essential bacteria for manufacturing high-quality starter material to shorten the RSS post-fermentation processing time.

RESUMO

Revealing the effect mechanism of carbon price drivers is the basis to establish the pricing mechanism of carbon emission exchange, which also promotes the development of the carbon emission exchange market and can reduce the investment risk. Based on the previous research, the cointegration test, Granger causality test, and ridge regression estimate are used to analyze the effect mechanism between the domestic carbon price and its drivers. Johansen's cointegration analysis reveals that there is a long-term equilibrium relationship between the domestic carbon price and energy price, industrial development level, climate change, and financial prosperity. Ridge regression estimates reveal that the international spot price of thermal coal in the ARA port and the spot price of Brent crude oil in Britain are negatively correlated with the domestic carbon price, while CER futures price is positively correlated with the domestic carbon price. There is a linkage between the international carbon price and the domestic carbon price. Since 2017, the domestic carbon price has been lower than the equilibrium value, and the value of carbon emission rights has been underestimated. With the continuous improvement of the domestic carbon market, the carbon price will rise and fluctuate around the equilibrium price in the future.

RESUMO

Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) through plasmid-mediated conjugation poses a major threat to global public health. Biochar, a widely used environmental remediation material, has remarkable impacts on the fate of ARGs. However, although biochar was reported being able to inhibit the HGT of ARGs via conjugation and transformation, little is known about the intracellular process that mediates the inhibition effects. On the other hand, as typical natural organic matter, fulvic acid is a common environmental influencer, and how it interferes with the effect of biochar on the HGT of ARGs is unknown. Therefore, this study investigated the effects on the conjugative transfer of ARGs between Escherichia coli MG1655 and E. coli HB101 carrying plasmid RP4, with biochars pyrolyzed at three temperatures and with the corresponding biochars coating with fulvic acid. Results showed that biochar with higher pyrolyzed temperature had a more substantial inhibitory effect on the conjugative transfer of the RP4 plasmid. The inhibitory effect of biochar was mainly attributed to (i) down-regulation of plasmid transfer gene expression, including the formation of conjugative transfer channel and plasmid replication, due to restrained adenosine triphosphate (ATP) energy supply and (ii) decreased cell membrane permeability. Conversely, the fulvic acid coating diminished this inhibition effect of biochar, mainly by providing more ATP and strengthening intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) defense. Our findings shed light on the intracellular process that mediates the effects of biochar on the conjugative transfer of ARGs, which would provide support for using biochar to reduce the spread of ARGs.

RESUMO

To improve the compatibility and reactivity of lignosulfonate (LS) with epoxy oligomers, the LS was firstly functionalized with anhydride via the carboxylation reaction. The carboxylated lignosulfonate (CLS) reinforced epoxy resin with excellent mechanical and shape memory performance was prepared facilely via distributing the CLS into the combined epoxy monomers of DGEBA and PEGDGE with the aid of water, rather than using the normal organic solvents. The incorporated CLS promoted the curing reaction of epoxy resin. A typical sea-island structure was formed in the cured sample at the CLS content of 5 phr, exhibiting the highest increases in tensile strength, modulus, elongation at break and toughness by 23.8 %, 18.2 %, 217 % and 113 %, respectively, relative to neat epoxy. Interestingly, the incorporation of CLS at a proper amount led to the simultaneous strengthening and toughing effects on cured epoxy resin, which could be attributed to the rigid structure of CLS covalently introduced in the epoxy resin network and the heterogeneous structure formed in the epoxy matrix. The rigid CLS component also restrained the movement of chain segments, consequently, the mechanical stability was enhanced and the fast shape recovery rate of epoxy resin network was slowed down to some extent.

RESUMO

The effect of a drug on the intestinal flora and the intestinal barrier is an important evaluation index for drug safety and efficacy. Chemical synthetic drugs are widely used due to their advantages of fast efficacy and low doses, but they are prone to cause drug resistance and inhibit proton pumps, which may harm intestinal health. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has been applied clinically for thousands of years, and how TCMs regulate intestinal health to achieve their effects of disease treatment has become a hot research topic that needs to be resolved. This paper reviews the recent research on the effects of TCMs on intestinal microorganisms and the intestinal mucosal barrier after entering the intestine, discusses the interaction mechanisms between TCMs and intestinal flora, and details the repair effect of TCMs on the intestinal mucosal barrier to provide a reference for the development, utilization, and modernization of TCM.

RESUMO

Ginsenoside Rb1 (Rb1), one of the most important ingredients in Panax ginseng Meyer, has been confirmed to have favorable activities, including reducing antioxidative stress, inhibiting inflammation, regulating cell autophagy and apoptosis, affecting sugar and lipid metabolism, and regulating various cytokines. This study reviewed the recent progress on the pharmacological effects and mechanisms of Rb1 against cardiovascular and nervous system diseases, diabetes, and their complications, especially those related to neurodegenerative diseases, myocardial ischemia, hypoxia injury, and traumatic brain injury. This review retrieved articles from PubMed and Web of Science that were published from 2015 to 2020. The molecular targets or pathways of the effects of Rb1 on these diseases are referring to HMGB1, GLUT4, 11ß-HSD1, ERK, Akt, Notch, NF-κB, MAPK, PPAR-γ, TGF-ß1/Smad pathway, PI3K/mTOR pathway, Nrf2/HO-1 pathway, Nrf2/ARE pathway, and MAPK/NF-κB pathway. The potential effects of Rb1 and its possible mechanisms against diseases were further predicted via Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway and disease ontology semantic and enrichment (DOSE) analyses with the reported targets. This study provides insights into the therapeutic effects of Rb1 and its mechanisms against diseases, which is expected to help in promoting the drug development of Rb1 and its clinical applications.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Recent observations in animal models show that ultra-high dose rate ("FLASH") radiation treatment significantly reduces normal tissue toxicity maintaining an equivalent tumor control. The dependence of this "FLASH" effect on target oxygenation has led to the assumption that oxygen "depletion" could be its major driving force. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In a bottom-up approach starting from the chemical track evolution of 1 MeV electrons in oxygenated water simulated with the TRAX-CHEM Monte Carlo code, we determine the oxygen consumption and radiolytic reactive oxygen species production following a short radiation pulse. Based on these values, the effective dose weighted by oxygen enhancement ratio (OER) or the in vitro cell survival under dynamic oxygen pressure is calculated and compared to that of conventional exposures, at constant OER. RESULTS: We find an excellent agreement of our Monte Carlo predictions with the experimental value for radiolytic oxygen removal from oxygenated water. However, the application of the present model to published radiobiological experiment conditions shows that oxygen depletion can only have a negligible impact on radiosensitivity through oxygen enhancement, especially at typical experimental oxygenations where a FLASH effect has been observed. CONCLUSION: We show that the magnitude and dependence of the "oxygen depletion" hypothesis are not consistent with the observed biological effects of FLASH irradiation. While oxygenation plays an undoubted role in mediating the FLASH effect, we conclude that state-of-the-art radiation chemistry models do not support oxygen depletion and radiation-induced transient hypoxia as the main mechanism.

RESUMO

Conjunctival sac stenosis is the contraction of the conjunctival sac as a result of trauma or disease. The aim of the present study was to observe the clinical effects of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) combined with hydroxyapatite (HA) orbital implantation as a treatment strategy for conjunctival sac stenosis. A total of 10 patients with conjunctival sac stenosis were treated with scleral graft transplantation in conjunction with HA implantation and postoperative LLLT. In addition, a rabbit model was used to investigate the biological mechanism underlying the effects of LLLT with the aim of preventing and treating orbital implantation exposure. The right eyeball was removed, orbital implantation performed and LLLT applied to experimental groups. 99mTc-Methyl diphosphonate scanning methods were performed at different timepoints to compare the average radioactivity count of the region of interest between surgical (right) and control (left) eyes (R/L). Histopathological examination was performed 8 weeks post-surgery, followed by analysis of fiber vascularization. Following LLLT, moderate conjunctival wounds were completely healed within 2 weeks and severe stenosis wounds healed within 3 weeks. Following prosthesis implantation in the rabbit model, a significantly elevated R/L ratio was observed after 4 weeks, whereas no significant difference was observed compared with the control group at 6 and 8 weeks postoperatively. Histopathological examination revealed that all implants were fibrotic. Overall, the present study demonstrated that LLLT promoted the survival of conjunctival grafts, stimulated conjunctival incision healing and promoted early vascularization of HA implants. Clinical trial registration no: ChiCTR-DDT-12002660 (www.chictr.org/cn/).

RESUMO

Soil legacies play an important role for the creation of priority effects. However, we still poorly understand to what extent the metabolome found in the soil solution of a plant community is conditioned by its species composition and whether soil chemical legacies affect subsequent species during assembly. To test these hypotheses, we collected soil solutions from forb or grass communities and evaluated how the metabolome of these soil solutions affected the growth, biomass allocation and functional traits of a forb (Dianthus deltoides) and a grass species (Festuca rubra). Results showed that the metabolomes found in the soil solutions of forb and grass communities differed in composition and chemical diversity. While soil chemical legacies did not have any effect on F. rubra, root foraging by D. deltoides decreased when plants received the soil solution from a grass or a forb community. Structural equation modelling showed that reduced soil exploration by D. deltoides arose via either a root growth-dependent pathway (forb metabolome) or a root trait-dependent pathway (grass metabolome). Reduced root foraging was not connected to a decrease in total N uptake. Our findings reveal that soil chemical legacies can create belowground priority effects by affecting root foraging in later arriving plants.

RESUMO

Traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) syndrome differentiation and treatment has a characteristic and advantageous efficacy in the prevention and treatment of major diseases(no matter for new or sudden infectious diseases or major chronic diseases). At present, the clinical application by Western medicine disease's name, stage, classification and other indications limits the role of TCM syndrome differentiation and treatment, and makes TCM difficult to play its advantages. Therefore, the therapeutic value and social value attribute of Chinese patent medicine after being launched in the market cannot be effectively demonstrated, or even generalized as adjuvants. Under the circumstances, it is difficult to put forward precise positioning different from chemical drugs, with fewer high-level and high-quality evidence-based evidences for precise positioning. The research on the pathological links and therapeutic mechanism of its effect on diseases is also less systematic. The development of biotechnology, such as genomics, has brought medicine into the era of precision, providing ideas and technical support for the exploration of syndrome biomarkers and the analysis of therapeutic mechanism with them as parameters. Digital China Think Tank Forum once mentioned that the development of sequencing technology provides 100% of human genetic code, while only 3% can understand it. Block data 4.0: activation data in the era of artificial intelligence puts forward the concept of activation data, which can be regarded as a theoretical hypothesis for big data, provides a new cognitive thinking and solution for increasingly prominent data paradox between bioinformation explosion and clinical big data, and is a bridge between cross-border data association and fusion. After deeply mining the dominant and recessive value of clinical data and histological data, we can make the pathogenesis of syndrome differentiation and treatment from dark knowledge to clear knowledge. Therefore, with Chinese patent medicine as the guide, the research on the efficacy and mechanism of precise positioning of traditional Chinese medicine after marketing is carried out, and the precise system of "syndrome, disease, function, pathological link and biological connotation" is constructed, which provides a powerful basis and support for increasing the scientific and technological content of varieties.
