Article Abstract
Aim Of The Study: Traditional Chinese Medicine offers a holistic approach that could provide complementary benefits for bipolar disorder treatment. However, the clinical cases in Traditional Chinese Medicine are highly dispersed, creating challenges for translational research. This study employs a novel data-mining-derived approach to identify treatment patterns and active metabolite interactions within these clinical cases.
Methods And Materials: Bipolar disorder-related targets were determined using DisGeNET and GeneCards databases. Active botanical drugs were extracted from the BATMAN-TCM 2.0 database. All terms for botanical drugs and diseases were confirmed via the Pharmacopoeia of the People's Republic of China 2020 Edition and Medical Subject Headings. Networks were constructed using Cytoscape, with data analysis performed using Python. MTT cell viability and qRT-PCR analysis were used to perform experiments on SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells.
Results: Five key botanical drugs-, , , , and -were identified as core drugs in BD treatment formulas. The botanical drug-metabolite-target network was constructed. experiments using SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells demonstrated dose-dependent effects of palmitic acid (PA) and stearic acid (SA) on cell viability and gene expression. qRT-PCR analysis revealed bidirectional regulation of GABRA1 and ESR1 by these metabolites.
Conclusion: Five botanical drugs: , , , , and , were identified as the core botanical drugs in bipolar disorder treatment. The main mechanism of these botanical drugs is their effects on the gamma-aminobutyric acid type A receptor and ESR1.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a prevalent malignant neoplasm of the digestive system, including 80% of primary liver malignancies. The Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway plays a key role in immune response and tumer resistance. A growing number of studies have shown that the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway is involved in the pathogenesis of HCC.

Essential oils (EOs) are a promising alternative to conventional pesticides, but some challenges like high volatility, poor water solubility, and rapid degradation limit their use in Integrated Pest Management (IPM). To overcome these limitations, this study aimed to develop garlic, eucalyptus, and clove EO-based nano-emulsions (EO-NEs) in a bait treatment format through the high-pressure microfluidization technique and investigated the biological activities against Ceratitis capitata. In addition, the adverse effects of the most promising nano-emulsion were evaluated towards a non-target parasitoid Anagaspis daci.

The worldwide occurrence of neurodegenerative diseases in Alzheimer's and Parkinson's patients is increasing owing to multiple disease mechanisms, including oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction, and excitotoxicity. (clove) flavonoid metabolites show strong neuroprotective potential because they act as antioxidants, reduce inflammation and lipid peroxidation, and prevent apoptosis. The key flavonoid metabolites, quercetin, kaempferol, kumatakenin, myricetin, ombuin 3-O-β-d-glucopyranoside, and tamarixetin 3-O-β-d-glucopyranoside, bind to various brain receptors implicated in disease propagation pathways and induce changes that support neuronal survival and decrease cognitive impairment.
