It is not known, however, whether LQHXDW can reduce high-altitude hypoxia-induced cardiopulmonary injury, what are the specific active ingredients, and what is the exact mechanism behind its cardiopulmonary protection. Objectives: This study intends to investigate the effect of LQHXDW on hypoxia-induced cardiopulmonary injury and the underlying mechanisms. Methods: The components of LQHXDW were identified by UPLC-QTOF-MS. The potential targets of LQHXDW against high-altitude hypoxia were screened via network pharmacology. Mice were subjected to an animal hypoxic chamber for 5 days to establish a high-altitude hypoxia animal model. Rat heart-derived H9c2 cells and human pulmonary artery endothelial cells (HPAECs) were cultured in glucose-free medium under hypoxic conditions (O2 /N2 /CO2, 3/92/5) for 72 h to mimic the high-altitude hypoxia in vivo. Results: The study found that LQHXDW can target apoptosis and inflammation pathways under the condition of high-altitude hypoxia . In mice exposed to hypoxia, LQHXDW reduced cardiac and lung injury, decreased inflammatory responses, and improved cardiac function. In vitro, LQHXDW increased cell viability and reduced apoptosis in cardiomyocytes and pulmonary artery endothelial cells. It also inhibited the activities of caspase-8 and caspase-3, preventing cardiopulmonary apoptosis. Discussion: The study investigates the impact of LQHXDW on hypoxia-induced heart and lung injury using UPLC-QTOF-MS and animal and cell models. Results show that LQHXDW can attenuate injury, prevent apoptosis, and protect the heart and lungs from hypoxia injury. It also demonstrates anti-inflammatory activity, suggesting LQHXDW as a potential candidate for traditional Chinese medicine in high-altitude sickness treatment. Conclusion: LQHXDW can be used as a potential inhibitor of apoptosis for treating high-altitude hypoxia. This study provided a clue for future studies to identify the exact active components of LQHXDW for targeting the pathways of apoptosis.","PeriodicalId":11026,"journal":{"name":"Current Traditional Medicine","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147917435","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) nursing has played an active role in the treatment and prevention of COVID-19. This study investigated the role of the TCM in the nursing of COVID-19 patients, aiming to provide a comprehensive understanding of its effectiveness and application. This article conducted a systematic review of recent studies and clinical cases, analyzed the theoretical basis of TCM nursing for COVID-19, explored the role of TCM nursing in COVID-19 prevention and control from multiple perspectives, such as Chinese medicine treatment, acupuncture and massage treatment, and clinical nursing. Findings indicated that TCM nursing interventions significantly improved patient recovery rates, reduced symptoms, and enhanced overall well-being. In TCM clinical practice, clearing heat, herbs resolving dampness, and relieving exterior symptoms are commonly used. These are complemented by phlegm-resolving, Qi-regulating, and purgative herbs. Acupoints that can serve to support the body's righteousness and attempt to eliminate evil are very common.. Massage should mainly affect the lung meridian and its interior counterpart, the large intestine meridian, as well as regulate the Zhongjiao and overall body condition through the spleen, stomach, and Ren-Du meridians. Clinical nursing should not only address symptoms closely related to COVID-19, such as fever and respiratory issues, but also consider digestion, sleep, and emotions of the patient. TCM nursing provided a valuable complement to conventional treatments for COVID-19, emphasizing the need for further integration of TCM practices in global health strategies.","PeriodicalId":11026,"journal":{"name":"Current Traditional Medicine","volume":"11 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147880476","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Numerous natural ingredients have been demonstrated to exhibit multiple activities, including antioxidation, anti-inflammation, and anti-melanogenesis. However, their combinations have not been well investigated, which could provide stronger performance with less toxicity and easier applications. Methods: We used B16F10 cells treated with alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone (αMSH) for melanogenesis-related studies, including cellular melanin content, tyrosinase activity, and gene or protein expression. MTT assay was used to evaluate cell viability. DPPH scavenging activity was measured for antioxidation. Nitric oxide (NO) content was evaluated in lipopolysaccharide (LPS) treated RAW264.7 cells to indicate the performance on anti-inflammation. Results: In this study, six different compounds and their combinations were tested for melanogenesis. The results showed that the combination of glabridin, resveratrol, and ellagic acid (GRE) exhibited the highest efficiency, which was mainly manifested as inhibition of melanin production and tyrosinase activity, higher DPPH scavenging rate, and inhibition of nitric oxide (NO) production. Meanwhile, our results showed that GRE could significantly downregulate the expression of microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF) related genes and proteins and could also inhibit the phosphorylation of cyclic AMP response element-binding protein (CREB), which was the upstream signal of MITF. Conclusion: The results suggest GRE exhibits high efficiency in inhibiting anti-melanogenesis, antioxidation, and anti-inflammation. Furthermore, GRE could downregulate the phosphorylation of the CREB and MITF signal pathway, which provides a theoretical basis for its application in pigmentation disorder disease and cosmetics.","PeriodicalId":11026,"journal":{"name":"Current Traditional Medicine","volume":"11 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147898910","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Yinxieling is a representative prescription for treating psoriasis developed by Professor Guowei Xuan, a master of traditional Chinese medicine. Keratin 17 is a key biomarker for the diagnosis and treatment of psoriasis, and its overexpression has been shown to impair mitochondrial function. Objectives: This study investigates the mechanism of action of Yinxieling in the treatment of psoriasis. Methods: In vivo, BALB/c mice were induced by imiquimod to create psoriasis-like mice model. Different doses of Yinxieling were administered to the psoriasis-like mice and PASI scores, thickness of epidermis and Keratin 17 expression of psoriasis-like mice were measured. In vitro, Ha- CaT cells were induced by IL-17A, IL-22 and TNF-alpha to establish psoriasis-like cells model. Yinxieling with different concentrations was administered to the psoriasis-like cells and Keratin 17 expression, adenosine triphosphate levels, and oxygen consumption rates were measured. Furthermore, the psoriasis-like cells were transfected with keratin 17 plasmids. Yinxieling intervened in these psoriasis-like cells with continuous high expression of keratin 17 and adenosine triphosphate levels and oxygen consumption rates were measured. Results: Yinxieling significantly improved PASI scores and decreased their epidermal thickness in psoriasis-like mice; Yinxieling also inhibited Krt17 expression in psoriasis-like mice and cells. Yinxieling improved ATP levels and oxygen consumption rate in psoriasis-like cells, and this effect of Yinxieling was abolished when the psoriasis-like cells were transfected with keratin 17 plasmids. Discussion: These findings suggest that Yinxieling alleviates psoriatic inflammation and improves mitochondrial function by downregulating KRT17. The study provides new mechanistic insights into the traditional use of Yinxieling and underscores the link between keratin dysregulation and mitochondrial impairment in psoriatic pathology. Conclusion: Yinxieling inhibits keratin 17 to enhance mitochondrial function and ameliorates psoriasis- like lesions.","PeriodicalId":11026,"journal":{"name":"Current Traditional Medicine","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147904770","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
