BaZiBuShen alleviates cognitive deficits and regulates Sirt6/NRF2/HO-1 and Sirt6/P53-PGC-1α-TERT signaling pathways in aging mice

Lin Li et al.

Summary: The study found that BZBS can improve cognitive and motor functions in aging mice, maintain redox balance, alleviate immunosenescence, and preserve telomerase activity and length. Additionally, BZBS can inhibit rapid aging in mice by reducing the expressions of P53, caspase-3, and Bax, while increasing the expressions of Sirt6, p-HO-1, p-NRF2, PGC-1 alpha, and Bcl-2.

Systematic review of human post-mortem immunohistochemical studies and bioinformatics analyses unveil the complexity of astrocyte reaction in Alzheimer's disease

Lucia Viejo et al.

Summary: Through a systematic review of astrocyte immunohistochemical studies in post-mortem Alzheimer's disease (AD) brains and subsequent bioinformatics analyses, a wide range of functional alterations including neuroinflammation, oxidative stress and antioxidant defense, lipid metabolism, proteostasis, extracellular matrix organization, and neurotransmission were identified. Furthermore, potential transcription factors driving these changes were identified, with validation from existing -omics datasets showing significant overlap with reported transcriptomic and proteomic changes in AD brains and/or CSF.

The Therapeutic Effect and Mechanism of Qishen Yiqi Dripping Pills on Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Diseases and Diabetic Complications

Chunlai Zhao et al.

Summary: Vascular dysfunction plays a crucial role in the development of coronary heart disease, stroke, and diabetic complications. Traditional Chinese medicine considers these diseases as Qi-deficiency and blood stasis syndrome in the vascular system, suggesting a similar treatment strategy for different diseases. Qishen Yiqi dripping pill, a Chinese herbal medicine, has shown potential therapeutic effects in treating coronary heart disease, ischemic stroke, and diabetic nephropathy.

Elucidating direct kinase targets of compound Danshen dropping pills employing archived data and prediction models

Tongxing Wang et al.

Summary: Research on direct targets of traditional Chinese medicine is crucial for understanding the mechanism and material basis, but current effective methods are lacking. By focusing on Compound Danshen dropping pills (CDDP), researchers identified thirty potential active kinase targets, with nine showing potential dose-dependent effects. The direct inhibitory effect of CDDP on three kinases was observed, suggesting the potential for drug repositioning. The research strategy, incorporating in silico models and experimental validation, proved to be relatively efficient and reliable for identifying direct targets of TCM prescriptions.
