Endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS)-related autophagy is involved in the occurrence and development of ulcerative colitis (UC). Therefore, regulating ERS-related autophagy is a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of UC. Jianpi-Qingchang (JPQC) decoction, consisting of nine Chinese herbal medicines, is used to treat patients with UC. However, its mechanism of action has not been completely elucidated. Here, we aimed to reveal the therapeutic effects and mechanisms of JPQC in UC. We established a colitis model using dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) and an ERS model using thapsigargin (Tg) and administered JPQC. We systematically examined ERS-related autophagy associated protein expression, inflammatory cytokines, apoptotic cells, and autophagic flux. Moreover, the cellular ultrastructure was observed via transmission electron microscopy (TEM). We found that JPQC reduced disease activity index (DAI) scores, counteracted colonic tissue damage, decreased the number of autophagosomes, inhibited proinflammatory cytokines, enhanced anti-inflammatory cytokines, and dampened ERS-related autophagy associated protein gene expression.

Purpose: Tripartite motif-containing protein 13 (TRIM13) directly or indirectly participates in autophagy and apoptosis. However, it remains unclear whether TRIM13 participates in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) progression. This study aimed to reveal the molecular mechanisms through which TRIM13 regulates alveolar epithelial cell injury in COPD to provide new molecular targets for COPD treatment.

Article Synopsis
- Endometritis negatively impacts maternal reproductive health, making the study of natural compounds like naringin important for treatment due to their efficiency and low toxicity.
- The research involved predicting naringin's pharmacological targets and pathways using network pharmacology, alongside animal experiments to assess its effects on inflammation and oxidative stress in uterine tissues.
- Findings indicate that naringin reduces inflammation by inhibiting endoplasmic reticulum stress and the PI3K/AKT pathway, providing new insights into potential therapies for endometritis through traditional compounds.

Article Synopsis
- Selenium (Se) is an important trace element that supports cellular functions like redox balance and immune responses, particularly in fish like grass carp.
- A study on grass carp showed that feeding them with an optimal level of Se (0.40 mg/kg diet) can reduce intestinal damage from Aeromonas hydrophila, boost immune responses, and regulate pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory factors.
- The findings suggest that appropriate Se levels help alleviate intestinal inflammation by inhibiting endoplasmic reticulum stress and autophagy, with specific Se requirements identified at 0.59 mg/kg for acid phosphatase and 0.51 mg/kg for lysozyme in juvenile grass carp.
