Article Abstract
Objective: To explore the mechanism of Danggui Buxue decoction (, DBD) for the treatment of gastric ulcer (GU), based on network pharmacology and experiments.
Methods: A network pharmacology strategy was used to predict the main components, candidate targets, and potential signaling pathways. Then, molecular docking was performed to further investigate the interactions and binding affinities between the main components and primary targets. Finally, a mouse model of ethanol-induced gastric ulcers was established to confirm the efficacy and potential therapeutic benefits of DBD, and candidate targets were finally identified.
Results: A total of 22 active components and 220 target genes were found to be associated with DBD. In addition, 343 GU-related target genes and 57 target genes specific to DBD treatment of GU were identified. The Gene Ontology functional enrichment analysis revealed 510 entries for biological processes, 36 entries for cell composition, and 69 entries for molecular functions. In the pathway enrichment analysis, 143 signaling pathways were identified. Additionally, the molecular docking results revealed that the main active components of DBD exhibited a strong binding capacity with key proteins, including tumor necrosis factor, AKT serine/threonine kinase 1, interleukin-6, vascular endothelial growth factor, and interleukin-1 Beta. Among these, quercetin, kaempferol, formononetin, isorhamnetin, and beta-sitosterol displayed the strongest binding affinities for these key proteins. experiments showed that DBD pretreatment effectively protected gastric mucosa, and the benefits might be attributed to the downregulation of above key proteins.
Conclusions: Based on network pharmacology analysis and experiments, we conclude that DBD leads to the protection and healing of the gastric mucosa by targeting genes and pathways, thus effectively countering the development and progression of GU.

State-Dependent Dynamic Communication Networks in a Pentameric Ligand-Gated Ion Channel.
J Phys Chem B

Pentameric ligand-gated ion channels control synaptic neurotransmission via an allosteric mechanism, whereby agonist binding induces global protein conformational changes that open an ion-conducting pore. For the proton-activated bacterial () ligand-gated ion channel (GLIC), high-resolution structures are available in multiple conformational states. We used a library of atomistic molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to study conformational changes and to perform dynamic network analysis to elucidate the communication pathways underlying the gating process.

Importance: Youth living with type 1 diabetes (T1D) are increasingly choosing automated insulin delivery (AID) systems to manage their blood glucose. Few systematic reviews meta-analyzing results from randomized clinical trials (RCTs) are available to guide decision-making.
Objective: To study the association of prolonged AID system use in an outpatient setting with measures of glucose management and quality of life in youth with T1D.
Prevalence and Antimicrobial Resistance Patterns of Escherichia coli Isolated From Broiler Chickens in Sylhet District of Bangladesh.

The emergence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) Escherichia coli in poultry farming is a growing global public health concern, particularly in Bangladesh, where the use of antibiotics remains largely unregulated. This study aimed to determine the prevalence and AMR patterns of E. coli isolated from broiler chickens in Sylhet district of Bangladesh and to investigate the network of coexisting resistance traits among the isolates.

Mitochondria continually undergo fission to maintain their network and health. Nascent fission sites are marked by the ER, which facilitates actin polymerization to drive calcium flux into the mitochondrion and constrict the inner mitochondrial membrane. Septins are a major eukaryotic cytoskeleton component that forms filaments that can both directly and indirectly modulate other cytoskeleton components, including actin.

Purpose: To assess the pharmacodynamic effects and therapeutic mechanisms of modified Fuzi decoction (MFZD) in osteoarthritis (OA), particularly OA-related inflammation.
Methods: The main components of MFZD were identified using Ultra Performance Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS). An OA model was established in Sprague-Dawley rats via intra-articular injection of monoiodoacetate (MIA) to evaluate the anti-OA efficacy of MFZD via gavage.
