Article Abstract
A protective role for estrogen against neurodegeneration and neurotrauma has received enormous attention in recent years, unraveling multiple facets and thus establishing this steroid as a multiactive neuroprotectant. The present study briefly reports our findings on the neuroprotective efficacy of physiologically relevant low doses of estrogen in experimental spinal cord injury (SCI) in rats. The current finding further corroborates our earlier results on efficacy of pharmacological/supraphysiological levels of estrogen in SCI and adds to the significance of conducting preclinical studies on estrogen efficacy in SCI.

Peripheral sensory neurons regenerate their axons after injury to regain function, but this ability declines with age. The mechanisms behind this decline are not fully understood. While excessive production of endothelin 1 (ET-1), a potent vasoconstrictor, is linked to many diseases that increase with age, the role of ET-1 and its receptors in axon regeneration is unknown.

Functional constipation (FC) is a prevalent gastrointestinal disorder that can significantly impact patients' quality of life. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of "abdominal tuina" and oral mosapride citrate tablets in the treatment of FC. Ninety patients with FC were randomly assigned to receive either "abdominal tuina" treatment or oral mosapride citrate tablets.

Traumatic spinal cord injury (TSCI) is a devastating neurological condition with limited therapeutic options and a high likelihood of permanent disability. Among the multifaceted secondary injury mechanisms triggered by TSCI, pyroptosis-an inflammatory form of programmed cell death-has emerged as a key pathological process. In particular, microglial pyroptosis plays a pivotal role in exacerbating neuroinflammation and disrupting tissue homeostasis, thereby amplifying the secondary injury cascade.

Experimental Research Center, QingPu Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University, Shanghai, China.
The SH2B family, which includes SH2B1, SH2B2, and SH2B3, consists of adaptor proteins that possess conserved Src homology 2 (SH2) and pleckstrin homology (PH) domains, playing essential roles as signaling mediators. However, the gene expression patterns of this family during embryonic development are still mostly unclear. In this study, we first investigated the evolutionary conservation of SH2B across multiple species using phylogenetic analysis, which revealed high sequence homology between zebrafish Sh2b and its orthologs in other vertebrates.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Fujian Tablet (FJT), a traditional Chinese herbal compound formulation developed under the theoretical framework of "nourishing the liver and kidney, replenishing essence and marrow" , has been clinically applied for over two decades to treat post-stroke neurological deficits. Preliminary studies demonstrated its efficacy in improving motor function and promoting cervical spinal cord neuroaxonal growth in a middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) rat model. Building upon these findings, this study integrates metabolomic evidence of Foxo3a-GPX4 axis activation to systematically elucidate Fujian Tablet's neurorestorative mechanisms through three interconnected pathways: regulation of ferroptosis, promotion of oligodendrocyte proliferation, and remyelination.
