Article Abstract
Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune disease marked by excessive keratinocyte growth and immune issues. Xiao Bi decoction (XBT), a traditional Chinese formula, has shown effective for treating psoriasis. This study integrated network pharmacology and Mendelian randomization analysis to explore the therapeutic mechanism of XBT and validate causal relationships between its active components, potential targets, and psoriasis outcomes. The results showed that XBT contains 171 active components, of which the top 5 active components with the highest degree values were quercetin, dihydrobaicalin _qt, Pyrethrin II, Kinobeon A, and Baicalein; the main core targets of XBT were tumor necrosis factor, interleukin (IL)-6, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, AKT1, and IL-1B. These core components and core targets can be better molecular docking, and Mendelian randomization analysis showed that there is a causal relationship between the reduced level of IL-6 and the increased risk of psoriasis. These results provide novel insights into the molecular mechanisms and scientific validation of XBT's use in psoriasis.

Background: Early-onset preeclampsia poses significant risks to maternal and fetal health, necessitating a deeper understanding of its molecular mechanisms and effective therapeutic strategies.
Methods: Utilizing data from genome-wide association study and Mendelian randomization analysis, we investigated the relationship between mitochondrial DNA copy number and preeclampsia. Transcriptome sequencing, in vitro experiments, and animal studies were conducted to explore the roles of SENP3 and SETD7 in preeclampsia pathogenesis.

Background: There is a higher prevalence of heart rate corrected QT (QTc) prolongation in patients with diabetes and metabolic syndrome. QT interval genome-wide association studies have identified candidate genes for cardiac energy metabolism, and experimental studies suggest that polyunsaturated fatty acids have direct effects on ion channel function. Despite this, there has been limited study of metabolite concentration relationships with QT intervals.

Background: Recent research has started to uncover an important connection between immune system activity and cognitive abilities. Although correlative associations have been documented, the causal mechanisms connecting specific immune cell subpopulations to cognitive capabilities remain insufficiently characterized. Our research aimed to determine directional relationships between distinct immune cell subtypes and cognitive function, potentially identifying targets for immunomodulatory interventions.

Background: Diverse correlations between structural brain abnormalities and the clinical feature of bulimia nervosa (BN) have been identified in previous observational studies.
Objective: To explore the bidirectional causality between BN and brain structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) phenotypes.
Methods: Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of 2441 participants identified genetic variants associated with disordered eating and predicted BN, whereas UK Biobank 3D-T1 MRI data were used to analyze brain structural phenotypes.
