基于网络药理学和生物信息学研究苍附导痰丸治疗多囊卵巢综合征的分子机制＊

目的 探讨苍附导痰丸治疗多囊卵巢综合征（Polycystic ovary syndrome，PCOS）的潜在机制。方法 通过检索中药系统药理学数据库和分析平台（Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database and Analysis Platform，TCMSP）中苍附导痰丸组成药物的成分数据，筛选其有效成分和作用靶点；检索Drug Bank、GeneCards、OMIM、PharmGKB及Uniprot疾病数据库中PCOS相关靶点；检索GEO数据库，选择多囊卵巢综合征的差异表达基因。构建苍附导痰丸和PCOS成分、靶点间的相互关系网络，利用筛选出的关键靶点，构建蛋白互作（Protein-protein interaction，PPI）网络；在GO功能和KEGG信号通路富集的基础上，得出苍附导痰丸治疗PCOS的作用机制，进一步用分子对接技术验证靶点之间结合的可靠性。结果 共筛选出活性成分单体46个，159个苍附导痰丸治疗PCOS的共同靶点。结论 苍附导痰丸治疗PCOS具有多成分、多靶点、多通路的特点，推测苍附导痰丸可能通过调节炎症微环境从而改善肥胖型PCOS患者胰岛素抵抗，通过调节雌激素信号通路改善卵巢功能，因而可以改善肥胖及卵巢排卵的临床症状，为后期研究苍附导痰丸治疗PCOS的作用机制提供了新的理论支撑。     

Changes and mediators of survival disparity among Black liver transplant recipients in the United States

A landmark 2002 study identified Black liver transplant (LT) recipients as having lower post-LT survival compared to other races. While persistent disparities exist, changes over time and mediating factors are understudied. Capturing LT recipients between 2002 and 2018 in UNOS, we used logistic regression and Cox proportional-hazard models to calculate differences in post-LT mortality among races. We examined interactions between transplant year and race. A mediation analysis assessed biologic and environmental factors potentially associated with race differences in post-LT survival. The cohort included 46,997 LT recipients (3898 Black;36,560 White;6539 Hispanic). In most years, Black (vs. White) LT recipients had a higher probability of age-adjusted mortality, not observed among Hispanics. In multivariable analysis, Blacks (vs. Whites) had higher (aHR = 1.15, 95% CI 1.07–1.24), whereas Hispanics had lower (aHR = 0.78, 95% CI 0.72–0.83) risk of mortality. Differences in post-LT mortality among Blacks (vs. Whites) narrowed between 2002 and 2009, were similar between 2010 and 2013, and may have worsened between 2014 and 2018. Race differences were larger for mortality beyond 1-year post-LT (vs. within 1-year), and among non-HCV (vs. HCV). Alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD) was the strongest mediator (13.9%, 95% CI 8.7–32.7%) of the Black–White disparity in 2010–2018. Our analyses suggest disparities may worsen with longer follow-up, as HCV recedes with elimination efforts, and with further increases in ALD.

How Picky Eating Becomes an Illness—Marketing Nutrient-Enriched Formula Milk in a Chinese Society

The essential adaptive food selection behavior of young children has become increasingly medicalized as a kind of disease—the “picky-eating” syndrome in Hong Kong. The researcher used the multiple case studies approach with data collected from in-depth interviews and advertisements to examine the process of the medicalization of picky-eating disorder, which demonstrates how an essential adaptive human behavior can be redefined by the market and medical system as a deviant, abnormal behavior that needs to be eliminated and how the resulting health risks can be resolved by modern medicine produced by this pharmaceutical nexus.     

基于网络药理学和分子对接探讨钩藤-全蝎药对治疗支气管哮喘的作用机制＊

目的通过网络药理学和分子对接探究钩藤-全蝎药对治疗支气管哮喘的药理作用机制。方法通过TCMSP、TCMIP数据库搜集钩藤、全蝎的活性成分及其作用靶点,并使用Cytoscape软件进行可视化分析成分-靶点网。通过OMIM、GeneCards数据库搜集支气管哮喘的疾病靶点,整合钩藤-全蝎药对与支气管哮喘的共有靶点。利用String平台构建对共有靶点互作PPI网络,并进行GO和KEGG富集分析,通过Cytoscape软件构建成分-靶点-通路网络模型。最后通过Autodock分子对接进行验证。结果经过筛选发现钩藤-全蝎药对37个活性化合物和234个药物靶点,与哮喘6010个靶点取交集得到35个共有靶点。钩藤-全蝎包含槲皮素、山奈酚、育亨宾碱、β-谷甾醇等重要活性成分;根据PPI网络分析,核心网络连接度高的潜在治疗靶点有IL6、CASP3、ECFR、ESR1、MAPK8等;根据KEGG富集分析结果显示,钩藤-全蝎药对主要通过PI3 K-Akt信号通路、TNF信号通路,HIF-1信号通路、M APK信号通路、NF-κB信号通路等来治疗哮喘;钩藤-全蝎药对活性成分与核心靶点的分子对接结果均显示出较好的结合活性。结论钩藤-全蝎药对治疗哮喘呈现出多成分、多靶点、多通路的特点,其核心成分槲皮素、山奈酚、育亨宾碱、β-谷甾醇等可能通过CASP3、MAPK8、ESR1、IL6、ECFR等靶点调节多条通路发挥抗炎、调节免疫、抗氧化应激、改善气道重塑等作用,从而对哮喘达到有效的治疗。
