Although gout which is one of hyperuricemia-related diseases is curable with anti-hyperuricemic drugs some medications have side effects, such as hypersensitivity in patients with circulatory system disorders, flare reoccurrences, and increased cardiac risk. This study consisted of test tube (xanthine oxidase's inhibition) and animal study.

We measured serum uric acid, glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (GOT), glutamic pyruvic transaminase (GPT), blood urea nitrogen, and creatinine and analyzed the genes such as organic anion transport (OAT)-1, OAT-3, and urate transport (URAT)-1. KRGWE dose-dependently controlled xanthine oxidase activity in the serum and completely inhibited serum uric acid. KRGWE affected both uric acid excretion-related and uric acid reabsorption-related gene expression. KRGWE stimulated uric acid excretion-related gene expressions, such as OAT-1 and OAT-3, but inhibited uric acid reabsorption-related gene expression, such as URAT-1.

Hua-Zhuo-Jie-Du decoction (TDP) has been used in gastritis clinically. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of TDP combined with cisplatin (DDP) on gastric cancer and explore the molecular mechanism. A total of 16 BALB/c nude mice were used to model the SGC7901 cells xenograft and treated with TDP and DDP or both, with the model group as the control. Hematoxylin-Eosin (H&E) and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated deoxyuridine triphosphate nick-end labeling (TUNEL) staining were performed, and the expression levels of CD31 and Ki-67 were quantified by immunohistochemistry staining. Additionally, cyclooxygenase (COX)-2, matrix metalloproteinas (MMP)-2, and MMP-9 expression levels were quantified using quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) and Western blotting (WB). WB was used to determine Cleaved-caspase3, Beclin-1, LC3B, and p-p62 levels. Lastly, flow cytometry was employed to evaluate immune responses in mice. TDP and DDP significantly decreased tumor weight and nuclear division, resulting in loosely distributed cells. Besides, TDP and DDP down-regulated the protein expression levels of Ki-67, CD31, COX-2, MMP-2, and MMP-9, as well as decreased the number of CD4+ IL-17+ cells. Conversely, TDP and DDP up-regulated Cleaved-caspase3 expression and the proportion of CD3+/CD4+ and CD8+/CD3+ cells. Notably, optimal effects were achieved using the combination of DDP and TDP. Furthermore, DDP increased the LCII/LCI ratio and the Beclin-1 levels while down-regulating p62 levels. However, TDP alleviated these effects.

The pressing need is to explore novel antibiotics to address this challenge. ShangKeHuangShui (SKHS), a patented traditional Chinese herbal formula, has gained widespread use in averting post-traumatic infections, but its biological effects remain incomplete understanding. This study's primary objective was to delve into the antibacterial properties, potential antibacterial compounds within SKHS, and their associated molecular targets. In vitro SKHS antibacterial assays demonstrated that the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was 8.625 mg/mL and the minimum bactericide concentration (MBC) was 17.25 mg/mL. Proteomic analysis based on tandem mass tag (TMT) showed significant changes in the expression level of 246 proteins in SKHS treated group compared to control group, with 79 proteins upregulated and 167 proteins downregulated (>1.5-fold, p < 0.05). Subsequently, thirteen target proteins related to various biological processes and multiple metabolic pathways were selected to conduct parallel reaction monitoring (PRM) and molecular docking screen. In protein tyrosine phosphatase PtpA (ptpA) docking screening, phellodendrine and obacunone can bind to ptpA with the binding energy of - 8.4 and - 8.3 kcal/mol, respectively. This suggests their potential impact on antibacterial activity by modulating the two-component system of SAU. The discovery lays a groundwork for future research endeavors for exploring new antibacterial candidates and elucidating specific active chemical components within SKHS that match target proteins.

In this study, we investigated the mechanism of pigmentation induced by continuous 5-FU administration in 9-week-old male HRM-2 hairless mice for 8 weeks by focusing on the blood vessels for basic verification. In the auricular skin of 5-FU-administered mice, hyperpigmentation caused by melanin accumulation was observed macroscopically and by Fontana-Masson Staining. In addition, the expression of tyrosinase, melanin synthase, and blood vessel markers in the auricular skin was increased by 5-FU-administration in mice auricular skin. Other anticancer agents, cytarabine (Ara-C) and irinotecan (CPT-11), were also administered, and the differences between them and 5-FU were investigated; these changes were not observed in the auricles of these mice. These results suggest that tyrosinase is associated with 5-FU-induced melanin production and that an increase in blood vessels may be involved. Furthermore, pigmentation with melanin accumulation in the basal epidermal layer is a characteristic finding of 5-FU compared with Ara-C and CPT-11.
