Background: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the joints associated with systemic comorbidities. is regarded as an effective traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) for the treatment of RA.
Materials And Methods: Based on network pharmacology and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database, 33 RA-related differentially-expressed genes (DEGs) targeting active compounds of were initially screened in our investigation.
Results: Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto encyclopaedia of genes and genome (KEGG) analyses found the important involvement of these DEGs in osteoclast differentiation, and finally 5 core DEGs, including NCF4, NFKB1, CYBA, IL-1β and NCF1 were determined through protein-protein interaction (PPI) network. We also identified the related active component of include . Finally, in order to experimentally verify these results, a rat model of collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) was established, and subsequently treated with solution.
Conclusion: Similar to the healing effect of Indomethacin, was observed to reduce the levels of inflammatory factors (IL-6 and IL-1β) and osteoclast differentiation-related factors (RANKL, ACP5 and Cathepsin K), which can also reduce the arthritis index score and alleviate the degree of pathological injury of rat ankle joints. The predictions and experimental data uncover the involvement of , an active component of , in regulation of osteoclast differentiation, exerting great medicinal potential in the treatment of RA.

This study aimed to investigate the potential hypoglycemic mechanism of red ginseng acidic polysaccharides (RGAP) from the perspective of fatty acid (FA) regulation. A high-glucose/high-fat diet in conjunction with streptozotocin administration was employed to establish type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) rat models, and their fecal FAs were detected using the liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) method. RGAP treatment alleviated the polyphagia, polydipsia, weight loss, and hyperglycemia observed in T2DM rats.

Background: The use of network pharmacology and blood metabolomics to study the pathogenesis of violent aggression in patients with schizophrenia and the related drug mechanisms of action provides new directions for reducing the risk of violent aggression and optimizing treatment plans.
Aim: To explore the metabolic regulatory mechanism of olanzapine in treating patients with schizophrenia with a moderate to high risk of violent aggression.
Methods: Metabolomic technology was used to screen differentially abundant metabolites in patients with schizophrenia with a moderate to high risk of violent aggression before and after olanzapine treatment, and the related metabolic pathways were identified.
