The major objective of this study was to investigate the anti-chronic nonbacterial prostatitis (CNP) mechanism of by metabolomics and network pharmacology. The study demonstrated that the flavonoids and polysaccharides of could alleviate prostatitis by improving the level of DHT, reducing the secretion of PSA and TNF-α. Besides, both could enhance Na/K-ATPase activity, decrease the O consumption, CO production, heat production, energy expenditure of rats and promote respiratory exchange ratio of rats. Up to 28 potential biomarkers and 8 key metabolic pathways related to the treatment of CNP were elucidated by the metabolomics analysis, including phenylalanine metabolism, taurine and hypotaurine metabolism, tryptophan metabolism etc. Network pharmacology prediction also reflected the potential mechanism was associated with tryptophan metabolism and energy pathway. Generally, the potential anti-CNP mechanism of flavonoids and polysaccharides of might be through reducing the expression of inflammation factors, adjusting the level of hormone and regulating the amino acid metabolism, energy metabolism and glucose and lipid metabolism.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Heart failure (HF), the terminal stage of various cardiovascular diseases, represents a significant threat to global health. Fuxin Decoction (FXD), a classical Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) formula, has demonstrated therapeutic efficacy in HF treatment. However, its bioactive components and precise mechanisms remain to be elucidated.

Ketamine has emerged as a promising treatment for major depression, though its efficacy and safety remain incompletely characterized in older adults. This systematic review synthesizes current evidence for ketamine in geriatric depression. A search of PubMed, EMBASE, and PsycINFO was conducted.

Background: Prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE) causes fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) and is associated with various cognitive and sensory impairments, including olfactory dysfunction. While both genetic and environmental factors contribute to olfactory dysfunction, PAE is considered a significant factor affecting brain development, including the olfactory system. In this study, we investigated the impact of PAE on the developing olfactory bulb (OB), specifically focusing on OB RGCs-radial glial cells that give rise to OB projection neurons.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Curcuma wenyujin was first recorded in the Tang Dynasty's Xinxiu Bencao and has been traditionally used to treat blood stasis syndrome. Its active component curdione exhibits antiplatelet effects, though its anticoagulant mechanisms remain unclear and require further investigation.
Aim Of The Study: To investigate the anticoagulant activity of curdione, identify potential targets through integrated screening, and elucidate the underlying mechanisms.

Treatment-resistant depression (TRD) is a severe condition characterized by chronic and recurrent depressive symptoms, leading to significant morbidity and a considerable socio-economic impact. Genetic and biological studies suggest that TRD is associated with distinct biological characteristics. In this study, we analysed whole-transcriptome differences in 293 patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) to compare TRD (N = 150) vs non-TRD (N = 143) cases.
