Its prevalence is on the rise as the population ages worldwide. There are many drawbacks to the current clinical approaches to treatment, and traditional chinese medicine (TCM) has long had a unique advantage in the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis. As research in the field of ferroptosis continues to intensify, the study of TCM has become a hot area in the treatment of the disease through multimethod interventions for ferroptosis. Based on this, this study searched the Cochrane Library, PubMed, Embase, CBM, CNKI, WanFang Data, and VIP databases using osteoporosis, TCM, and ferroptosis as keywords. Up to April 2023, research literature on the relationship between TCM, osteoporosis, and ferroptosis was collected. The results found a strong relationship between the main regulatory mechanisms of ferroptosis and osteoporosis. TCM methods with good therapeutic effects on osteoporosis, such as Zanthoxylum bungeanum, Curcumae longae, Salvia miltiorrhiza, Astragalus membranaceus, Bushen Huanjing Recipe, and external treatment of TCM, can all achieve interventions on ferroptosis under different pathways. It provides a new theoretical basis and research direction for the future treatment of osteoporosis through multiple methods of TCM to intervene in ferroptosis.

Chelidonium flavum) in the family Papaveraceae, is growing in many geographical areas; it is mostly native to Northern Africa, Western Asia, and Europe. The plant is well known for its different types of alkaloids, including aporphines, protopines, and phenolic compounds. In Eastern Europe, the HCl and HBr salts of glaucine (the common active constituent in G. flavum) have been approved as cough suppressants, in addition to several therapeutic applications in traditional medicine. The natural products of G. flavum varied according to the geographical habitat, the stage of maturity, and the selected plant organ.

Materials and Methods: The T2DM model was established by a high-fat high-sucrose diet (HFSD) for 6 weeks and streptozotocin (STZ) administration. The rats were randomly divided into control, model, metformin (100 mg/kg/day), and T. officinale extracts (1,500 mg/kg/day) treatment groups. Fasting plasma glucose (FPG) levels, 2-h postprandial plasma glucose (2hPPG) levels, and sucrose preference rates (SPR) were ascertained. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to quantify the levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and malonaldehyde (MDA) in the serum. Finally, the expression levels of UPRmt and mitophagy-related proteins were determined via Western blot analysis. Results: Rats in the model group exhibited significantly higher levels of FPG and 2hPPG but lower SPR than those in the control group. Rats in the Taraxacum group had lower FPG and 2hPPG levels and higher SPR than those of the model group. Moreover, clpP, HSP60, PINK-1, Parkin, P62, Beclin-1, and LC3-II/I proteins were significantly upregulated in the rats of the model group, relative to the control group. UPRmt and mitophagy-related proteins were markedly downregulated in rats of the Taraxacum group, relative to the model group. Conclusion: T2DM rats exhibited certain levels of anhedonia and depression, which were effectively alleviated by T. officinale extracts through the downregulation of UPRmt and mitophagy, and also by conferring protection to mitochondrial function.

Materials and Methods: Chemical Fingerprints of A. trifoliatus fractions with different polarities (all fractions and ethyl acetate, n-butanol and water fractions) were obtained by HPLC, and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was performed. The foot swelling and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) content in mice induced by carrageenan were used as anti-inflammatory markers, and 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2’-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) methods were used as antioxidant indicators. Moreover, the Spectrum-Effect relationship between common peaks and efficacy value was conducted by Grey Relational Analysis (GRA) and Partial Least Squares analysis (PLS). Results: PCA identified three principal components, and all fractions of A. trifoliatus had good anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. Based on GRA and PLS analysis, peaks 1 and 2 (neochlorogenic acid), 4 and 5 (chlorogenic acid), 8, 9, 10, 11 (isochlorogenic acid B), and 12 were involved in anti-inflammatory efficacy, and peaks 1 and 2 (neochlorogenic acid), 3, 4, and 5 (chlorogenic acid), and 6, 7, 9, 10, and 13 (isochlorogenic acid A) were involved in antioxidant efficacy.

The adults are the major victims of gliomas, and the men are mostly affected. At present, gliomas are treated with surgical resection followed by radiation and the administration of chemodrugs such as temozolomide. The invasive and high recurrence rate of gliomas often reduces the effectiveness of treatment, which leads to poor recovery. Hence, more potent drugs without side effects on long-term treatment need to be discovered to treat gliomas. Morin is one such promising phytochemical that possesses immense pharmacological properties. It is proven to exert anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anticancer, antibacterial, antidiabetic, and neuroprotective properties. The current research focuses on examining the growth inhibition and apoptosis-inducing potency of morin against glioma C6 cells. Materials and Methods: Rat C6 glioma cells were treated with different concentrations of morin and analyzed for cytotoxicity using the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. The intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and alteration of mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) by morin in glioma cells were examined with dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate (DCHF-DA) and rhodamine 123 staining. The apoptotic induction in glioma cells was analyzed with dual staining and it was confirmed by quantifying the apoptotic protein using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) technique. The anti-inflammatory property of morin was assessed by the inflammatory cytokines tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB), cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), and interleukin-6 (IL-6) using the ELISA technique. Results: Our MTT results show that morin treatment significantly reduced the cell viability of rat C6 glioma cells. It also significantly increased ROS generation and decreased MMP in rat C6 glioma cells. Morin treatment also effectively increased caspase-3 and caspase-9, the proapoptotic protein Bax, and decreased the antiapoptotic protein Bcl2. The induction of apoptosis by morin in glioma cells was evident with our acridine orange/ethidium bromide (AO/EtBr) staining results. Morin also decreased the inflammatory cytokine levels in rat C6 glioma cells. Conclusion: Our findings have proven that morin significantly induces apoptosis by increasing the levels of apoptotic protein via the generation of ROS.
