Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Yanghe Decoction(YHD) is a traditional Chinese medicine compound known for its efficacy in treating osteoarthritis (OA).

Aim Of The Study: We aimed to explore the underlying mechanisms of YHD in relation to OA.

Materials And Methods: UHPLC-MS technology was used to identify the material basis of YHD. In vivo, OA rat model was induced by the modified Hulth method and then treated with YHD at three different doses (0.625, 1.3 and 2.6g/kg/d). In vitro,YHD-Contained serum was prepared and administrated into rat chondrocytes, followed by simulation of Lipopolysaccharide(LPS). The protective mechanism was determined by observation of morphology, Flow cytometry and Protein level detection.

Results: In vivo, YHD reduced chondrocyte apoptosis and joint inflammation while promoting mitophagy. It also elevated the protein levels of p-AMPK, SIRT3, PINK1, Parkin, and LC3II/I. In vitro, YHD-Contained Serum reduced chondrocyte apoptosis, decreased mitochondrial ROS, enhanced mitochondrial membrane potential, and upregulated the protein expressions of p-AMPK, SIRT3, PINK1, Parkin, and LC3II/I.

Conclusion: Through this study, we demonstrated YHD protect chondrocytes against apoptosis, and its underlying mechanisms may involve the regulation of AMPK-SIRT3 positive feedback loop and activation of PINK1/Parkin mediated mitophagy.

Background & Aims: Expression of P21, encoded by the gene, has been associated with fibrosis progression in steatotic liver disease (SLD); however, the underlying mechanisms remain unknown. In the present study, we investigated the function of CDKN1A in SLD.

Methods: expression levels were evaluated in different patient cohorts with SLD, fibrosis, and advanced chronic liver disease (ACLD).

Background: Chronic inflammation, which becomes more prevalent during aging, contributes to sarcopenia by reducing muscle mass and strength.

Purpose: Wheat seedlings extract (WSE) is known for its various physiological activities, including anti-inflammation and antioxidant effects. However, its efficacy against sarcopenia is not well documented.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a major cause of disability in the elderly population and represents a significant public health problem and socioeconomic burden worldwide. However, no disease-modifying therapeutics are currently available for OA due to an insufficient understanding of the pathogenesis of this disability. As a unique cell type in cartilage, chondrocytes are essential for cartilage homeostasis and play a critical role in OA pathogenesis.
