Metrnl and Cardiomyopathies: From Molecular Mechanisms to Therapeutic Insights.
J Cell Mol Med
January 2025
School of Physical Education and Health, Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine, Guangzhou, Guangdong, China.
Cardiomyopathies, a diverse group of diseases affecting the heart muscle, continue to pose significant clinical challenges due to their complex aetiologies and limited treatment options targeting underlying genetic and molecular dysregulations. Emerging evidence indicates that Metrnl, a myokine, adipokine and cardiokine, plays a significant role in the pathogenesis of various cardiomyopathies. Therefore, the objective of this review is to examine the role and mechanism of Metrnl in various cardiomyopathies, with the expectation of providing new insights for the treatment of these diseases.

Renowned Medical Clinic, The Second Affiliated Hospital of Anhui University of Chinese Medicine, 300 Shouchun Road, Hefei, 230031, Anhui, China.
Purpose: The incidence of Functional Dyspepsia (FD) is gradually increasing, yet there are currently no effective treatment methods available. This study explored the effective components, potential targets, and pathways of Shi-San-Wei-He-Zhong-Wan (SSWHZW) in the treatment of FD, aiming to provide new insights into its treatment.
Methods: First, the Chinese Medicine System Pharmacology Database and Analysis Platform (TCMSP) and GeneCards databases were utilized to identify the major active components of SSWHZW and potential therapeutic targets of FD.
Acupoint catgut embedding alleviates experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis by modulating neuroinflammation and potentially inhibiting glia activation through JNK and ERK pathways.

January 2025
Department of Neurology, The Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-Sen University, Guangzhou, China.
Background: Acupoint catgut embedding (ACE) is a traditional Chinese medicine technique commonly used for managing various disorders, including chronic inflammatory pain and allergic asthma. Despite its growing use, the neuroimmunological mechanisms underlying ACE treatment effects remain unclear.
Methods: This study investigated the roles and potential mechanisms of the effects of ACE in treating experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), a frequently used animal model of autoimmune neuroinflammation.
Electroacupuncture may protect pulmonary dysplasia in offspring with perinatal nicotine exposure by altering maternal gut microbiota and metabolites.

Background: Perinatal nicotine exposure (PNE) induces pulmonary dysplasia in offspring and it increases the risk of respiratory diseases both in offspring and across generations. The maternal gut microbiota and its metabolites, such as short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), can regulate fetal lung development and are susceptible to nicotine exposure. Therefore, modulation of PNE-induced changes in maternal gut microbiota and SCFAs may prevent the occurrence of pulmonary dysplasia in offspring.
