Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), causing disease (COVID-19), has been devastated by COVID-19 in an increasing number of countries and health care systems around the world since its announcement a global pandemic on 11 March 2020. During pandemic, emerging novel viral mutant variants have caused multiple outbreaks are prone to genetic evolution, serious damage human health. As confirmed cases spread rapidly, there is evidence that SARS-CoV-2 infection involves central nervous system (CNS) peripheral (PNS), directly or indirectly damaging neurons further leading neurodegenerative diseases (ND), but molecular mechanisms ND CVOID-19 unknown. We employed transcriptomic profiling detect several major ND: Alzheimer 's (AD), Parkinson' s (PD), sclerosis (MS) common pathways biomarkers association with COVID-19, helping understand link between COVID-19. There were 14, 30 19 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) (PD) (MS), respectively; enrichment analysis showed MAPK, IL-17, PI3K-Akt other signaling significantly expressed; hub (HGs) DEGs CRH, SST, TAC1, SLC32A1, GAD2, GAD1, VIP SYP. Analysis transcriptome data suggests co-morbid AD, PD, MS, providing new ideas therapeutic strategies for clinical prevention treatment ND.

Background Fracture disrupts the integrity and continuity of bone, leading to symptoms such as pain, tenderness, swelling, bruising. Rhizoma Musae is a medicinal material frequently utilized in Miao ethnic region Guizhou Province, China. However, its specific mechanism action treating fractures remains unknown. This study aimed elucidate chemical constituents ethanol extract (EERM) investigate fracture-healing using network pharmacology. Methods The profile EERM was characterized via UHPLC-Q-Exactive-MS/MS. Subsequently, comprehensive compounds, targets, pathways constructed pharmacology approaches. interactions between active compounds their targets were validated through molecular docking, dynamics simulation vitro cell experiments. Results contained 522 identified compounds. Topological analysis protein-protein interaction (PPI) 59 core including key proteins like AKT1, IL-6, EGFR, known for anti-inflammatory properties ability enhance bone proliferation differentiation. Gene Ontology indicated involvement biological processes peptidyl-serine phosphorylation, response xenobiotic stimulus, nutrient level regulation. KEGG suggested that EERM’s may involve signaling PI3K-Akt, lipid atherosclerosis, EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor resistance, MAPK pathways. Molecular docking simulations results demonstrated strong binding affinity main targets. In experiments demonstrate enhances by upregulating expression levels STAT3, while simultaneously downregulating AKT1 CASP3. Conclusion investigates potential regulating multiple fracture, promoting proliferation. These offer valuable insights future development clinical application Musae.

The QiShengYiQi pill (QSYQ) is a traditional Chinese medicinal formulation. effectiveness and safety of QSYQ in treating respiratory system disorders have been confirmed. Its pharmacological actions include anti-inflammation, antioxidative stress, improving energy metabolism. However, the mechanism sepsis-induced acute lung injury (si-ALI) remains unclear. Si-ALI presents clinical challenge with high incidence mortality rates. This study aims to confirm efficacy si-ALI explore potential mechanisms, providing scientific foundation for its application insights optimizing treatment strategies identifying active components. impact on was evaluated using cecal ligation puncture (CLP) experimental sepsis animal model. effects endothelial cells were observed through coculturing LPS-stimulated macrophage-conditioned medium. Inflammatory cytokine levels, HE staining, Evans blue wet/dry ratio, cell count protein content bronchoalveolar lavage fluid used assess degree injury. Network pharmacology utilized investigate mechanisms si-ALI. Western blot immunofluorescence analyses evaluate barrier integrity validate mechanistically relevant proteins. reduced inflammation alleviated pulmonary vascular damage CLP mice (all P < 0.05). A total 127 targets which regulates identified, predominantly enriched RAGE pathway. results protein-protein interaction analysis suggest that COX2, well-established critical marker ferroptosis, among key targets. In vitro vivo studies demonstrated mitigated ferroptosis 0.05), accompanied by reduction oxidative stress inhibition COX2 maintains inhibiting mice. These findings partially elucidate further clarify components QSYQ, thereby theoretical basis QSYQ.
