Article Abstract
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) formulations serve as a multi-component pharmacological combination therapy with various potential targets and have collected extensive knowledge regarding the in vivo efficacy of treating cardiovascular disorders in clinical practice for thousands of years. However, the obscurity of the chemicals and the molecular mechanisms are impediments to their continued growth and globalization. Therefore, new modern medications based on the combination of beneficial TCM components with precise clinical efficacy are required. The goal of this study was to find the best combination of Blume (AB) and Pall. (PL) for hypertension with liver yang hyperactivity (HLYH). The integrated research consisting of principal component analysis (PCA), metabolomics, microbiology, and weighted correlation network analysis (WGCNA) were used to find the optimal combination of AB-PL combinations and reveal the mechanism of action. The result showed AB-PL (2:3) had a substantial protective impact on HLYH, as shown by lower blood pressure, improved liver yang hyperactivity, reduced cardiac remodeling and malondialdehyde (MDA), and increased NO content. Furthermore, the essential elements for AB-PL reducing hypertension may be related to 135 metabolites and 23 microorganisms. In conclusion, our findings support the efficacy of herbal remedies in the treatment of hypertension and provide some pharmacological evidence for the ongoing development of novel modern Chinese drugs for cardiovascular disorders.

Di-(2-ethylhexyl)-phthalate (DEHP) is a persistent environmental endocrine toxicant present in many products, and liver is the main target organ for DEHP metabolism. Long-term exposure to DEHP induces hepatic fibrosis, which is reversible in the early stages, while progresses to cirrhosis without timely intervention. Ductular reaction (DR) is a characteristic pathological change in hepatobiliary diseases, however, the involvement of DR in DEHP-caused hepatic fibrosis, the underlying molecular mechanisms, remail largely uninvestigated.

Purpose: Accelerating MR acquisition is essential for image guided therapeutic applications. Compressed sensing (CS) has been developed to minimize image artifacts in accelerated scans, but the required iterative reconstruction is computationally complex and difficult to generalize. Convolutional neural networks (CNNs)/Transformers-based deep learning (DL) methods emerged as a faster alternative but face challenges in modeling continuous k-space, a problem amplified with non-Cartesian sampling commonly used in accelerated acquisition.

Introduction: The increasing use of biodegradable plastics has led to the inevitable human consumption of biodegradable microplastics (MPs). These MPs can be degraded and absorbed into various organs and tissues via the gastrointestinal tract, with the liver being the primary target for digestion and absorption.
Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the toxic effects and mechanisms of biodegradable MPs on the liver following gastrointestinal degradation.
