Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the independent risk factors associated with iatrogenic withdrawal syndrome in pediatric intensive care units (PICUs) and to establish receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve to facilitate the diagnosis of iatrogenic withdrawal syndrome in clinical settings. METHOD Pediatric patients who received analgesic and sedative medication at a tertiary hospital in the southern Zhejiang region of China between January 2016 and December 2022 were selected for the study. Clinical case data were retrospectively analyzed to gather information including age, gender, weight, total dose of analgesic and sedative medication, total treatment duration, average maintenance dose, and other relevant parameters. Medically-induced withdrawal symptom scores were assessed using the Sophia Observation Scale for Withdrawal Symptoms (SOS). Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were conducted on the above indicators to identify the risk factors for iatrogenic withdrawal, and an ROC curve was constructed. RESULTS The study encompassed a total of 104 pediatric patients, comprising 47 patients in the SOS score ≥ 4 group and 57 patients in the SOS score ≤ 3 group. The incidence of iatrogenic withdrawal was 45.19%. Univariate analysis identified cumulative total dose of fentanyl, average daily dose of fentanyl, average daily dose of midazolam, and patient weight (p<0.05) as factors associated with iatrogenic withdrawal syndrome. The logistic multiple regression analysis revealed that the average daily dose of fentanyl was an independent risk factor for the occurrence of iatrogenic withdrawal syndrome in critically ill children (p<0.05). ROC curve analysis indicated an area under the curve of 0.711 (95% CI: 0.610-0.811) with sensitivity and specificity of 73.7% and 61.7%, respectively. CONCLUSION The average daily maintenance dose of fentanyl holds significant clinical value in diagnosing and evaluating the prognosis of iatrogenic withdrawal syndrome, and can provide a scientific foundation for enhancing sedative and analgesic management in clinical practice.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Wnt signaling maintains normal and cancer stem cells. The Wnt pathway is frequently dysregulated in many cancers, underscoring it as a therapeutic target. Although Wnt inhibitors appear promising in many preclinical studies, they have failed uniformly in clinical trials. Molecular mechanisms of resistance are poorly defined. Further dissection of the precise mechanisms of Wnt pathway activation in specific tumor types is needed to develop new Wnt pathway inhibitors with less toxicity. Here, we identify an alternative activator of the Wnt pathway that may mediate resistance to upstream Wnt inhibition in glioblastoma. MATERIALS/METHODS Glioma stem-like cells (GSCs) were enriched in defined media. GSCs were transduced with lentiviruses to knockdown or overexpress Sema3C or Wnt pathway components. Cell viability, proliferation, apoptosis, and self-renewal were assessed. Expression of Sema3C and Wnt pathway components were assessed in GSCs, mouse models of GBM, and human glioblastoma by qPCR, Western blot, and/or immunostaining. Beta-catenin subcellular localization was assessed by cell fractionation and immunofluorescence. GSC-derived orthotopic models of GBM were used to assess the impact of genetic or pharmacologic inhibition of Sema3C or Wnt pathway components alone or in combination on tumor growth and animal survival. RESULTS The axonal guidance protein Sema3C promotes the tumorigenicity of GSCs through binding its NRP/PlxnD1 receptor complex leading to Rac1 activation. Sema3C signaling directs beta-catenin nuclear accumulation in a Rac1-dependent process, leading to transactivation of Wnt target genes. Sema3C-driven Wnt signaling occurred despite suppression of Wnt ligand secretion, suggesting that Sema3C may drive canonical Wnt signaling independent of Wnt ligand binding. In human glioblastoma, Sema3C expression and Wnt pathway activation were highly concordant. In a mouse model of glioblastoma, combined depletion of Sema3C and beta-catenin partner TCF1 extended animal survival more than single target inhibition alone. CONCLUSION Sema3C signaling may represent an alternative mechanism of WNT pathway activation even when WNT ligand-receptor interaction is inhibited. Since Sema3C is overexpressed in >85% glioblastoma and is used to maintain GSCs but not normal neural progenitor cells, this pathway may represent a major mechanism of Wnt pathway activation and resistance to upstream Wnt pathway inhibitors in GSCs. Our data provide a therapeutic strategy to achieve clinically significant Wnt pathway inhibition in GSCs potentially without the toxicity of currently available WNT inhibitors.

Abstract
Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a severe mental disorder, which is closely related to the deficiency of monoamine neurotransmitters. Our previous study suggested that acute treatment with J147, a novel curcumin derivative, produced antidepressant-like effects in mouse model of depression by regulation of 5-HT receptor subtypes. However, it is still unknown whether the antidepressant-like effects of J147 are involved in activation of central monoaminergic system. In this study, a series of classical behavior tests were employed to assess the involvement of monoaminergic system in antidepressant- and anxiolytic-like effects after sub-acute treatment of mice with J147 for 3 days. The results suggested that J147 at 10 mg/kg significantly reduced the immobility time in both the tail suspension and forced swimming tests, but didn't show effects in the sucrose preference test. Similarly, sub-acute treatment of J147 did not induce amelioration in novelty suppressed feeding test. J147 increased duration and crossing time in the central area, but did not show significant change in rearing counts in the open field test. In neurochemical assays, studies suggested that serotonin and noradrenaline levels were significantly increased in the frontal cortex and hippocampus after treatment of J147 by the high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with an electrochemical detector. Moreover, J147-induced significant inhibition of monoamine oxidase A activity. These findings suggest that the antidepressant- and anxiolytic-like effects of J147 might be related to the monoaminergic system by the evidence that high dose of J147 inhibits monoamine oxidase (MAO)-A activity and increases synaptic monoamines in the mouse brain.

Abstract
Pancreatic cancer (PC) is one of the most common malignancies and also a leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Many studies have shown that epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is highly expressed in PC, which provides a potential target for PC treatment. However, EGFR inhibitors use alone was proven ineffective in clinical trials, due to the persistence of cellular feedback mechanisms which foster therapeutic resistance to single targeting of EGFR. Specifically, the signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) is over-activated when receiving an EGFR inhibitor and is believed to be highly involved in the failure and resistance of EGFR inhibitor treatment. Therein, we hypothesized that dual inhibition of EGFR and STAT3 strategy could address the STAT3 induced resistance during EGFR inhibitor treatment. To this end, we tried to develop poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanoparticles to co-load Alantolactone (ALA, a novel STAT3 inhibitor) and Erlotinib (ERL, an EGFR inhibitor) for pancreatic cancer to test our guess. The loading ratio of ALA and ERL was firstly optimized in vitro to achieve a combined cancer-killing effect. Then, the ALA- and ERL-co-loaded nanoparticles (AE@NPs) were successfully prepared and characterized, and the related anticancer effects and cellular uptake of AE@NPs were studied. We also further detailly explored the underlying mechanisms. The results suggested that AE@NPs with uniform particle size and high drug load could induce significant pancreatic cancer cell apoptosis and display an ideal anticancer effect. Mechanism studies showed that AE@NPs inhibited the phosphorylation of both EGFR and STAT3, indicating the dual suppression of these two signaling pathways. Additionally, AE@NPs could also activate the ROS-p38 axis, which is not observed in the single drug treatments. Collectively, the AE@NPs prepared in this study possess great potential for pancreatic cancer treatment by dual suppressing of EGFR and STAT3 pathways and activating ROS-responsive p38 MAPK pathway.

Abstract
Triptolide (TP) is a diterpene epoxide component extracted from Tripterygium wilfordii and has been shown to possess an impressive anticancer effect. However, TP has not yet entered any clinic trials due to the severe adverse effects that resulted from the off-target absorption and distribution found in animal studies. In this study, we designed and synthesized three amino acids (tryptophan, valine, and lysine) based TP prodrugs to target ATB0,+ which are highly expressed in pancreatic cancer cells for more effective pancreatic cancer therapy. The stability, uptake profiles, uptake mechanism, and cancer-killing ability were studied in vitro. All three prodrugs showed increased uptake and enhanced cytotoxicity in pancreatic cancer cells, but not in normal pancreatic cells. The difference in killing effect on normal and cancer cells was attributed to pancreatic cancer over-expressed ATB0,+-mediated uptake. Specifically, tryptophan-conjugated TP prodrug (TP-Trp) showed the highest uptake and the best cancer cell killing effect, considered as the best candidate. The present study provided the proof-of-concept of exploiting TP prodrug to target ATB0,+ for pancreatic cancer-selective delivery and treatment.

Abstract
AIM To construct and validate a radiomics-based machine-learning method for preoperative prediction of distant metastasis (DM) from soft-tissue sarcoma. MATERIALS AND METHODS Seventy-seven soft-tissue sarcomas were divided into a training set (n=54) and a validation set (n=23). The performance of three feature selection methods (ReliefF, least absolute shrinkage and selection operator [LASSO], and regularised discriminative feature selection for unsupervised learning [UDFS]) and four classifiers, random forest (RF), logistic regression (LOG), K nearest neighbour (KNN), and support vector machines (SVMs), were compared for predicting the likelihood of DM. To counter the imbalance in the frequencies of DM, each machine-learning method was trained first without subsampling, then with the synthetic minority oversampling technique (SMOTE). The performance of the radiomics model was assessed using area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve (AUC) and accuracy (ACC) values. RESULTS The performance of the LASSO and SVM algorithm combination used with SMOTE was superior to that of the algorithm combination alone. The combination of SMOTE with feature screening by LASSO and SVM classifiers had an AUC of 0.9020 and ACC of 91.30% in the validation dataset. CONCLUSION A machine-learning model based on radiomics was favourable for predicting the likelihood of DM from soft-tissue sarcoma. This will help decide treatment strategies.

Abstract
Acute pancreatitis is a sudden inflammation and only last for a short time, but might lead to a life-threatening emergency. Traditional drug therapy is an essential supportive method for acute pancreatitis treatment, yet, failed to achieve satisfactory therapeutic outcomes. To date, it is still challenging to develop therapeutic medicine to redress the intricate microenvironment promptly in the inflamed pancreas, and more importantly, avoid multi-organ failure. The understanding of the acute pancreatitis, including the causes, mechanism, and severity judgment, could help the scientists bring up more effective intervention and treatment strategies. New formulation approaches have been investigated to precisely deliver therapeutics to inflammatory lesions in the pancreas, and some even could directly attenuate the pancreatic damages. In this review, we will briefly introduce the involved pathogenesis and underlying mechanisms of acute pancreatitis, as well as the traditional Chinese medicine and the new drug option. Most of all, we will summarize the drug delivery strategies to reduce inflammation and potentially prevent the further development of pancreatitis, with an emphasis on the bifunctional nanoparticles that act as both drug delivery carriers and therapeutics.

Abstract
This open‐label randomized controlled pilot study aimed to test the study feasibility of bromhexine hydrochloride (BRH) tablets for the treatment of mild or moderate coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) and to explore its clinical efficacy and safety. Patients with mild or moderate COVID‐19 were randomly divided into the BRH group or the control group at a 2:1 ratio. Routine treatment according to China’s Novel Coronavirus Pneumonia Diagnosis and Treatment Plan was performed in both groups, whereas patients in the BRH group were additionally given oral BRH (32 mg t.i.d.) for 14 consecutive days. The efficacy and safety of BRH were evaluated. A total of 18 patients with moderate COVID‐19 were randomized into the BRH group (n = 12) or the control group (n = 6). There were suggestions of BRH advantage over placebo in improved chest computed tomography, need for oxygen therapy, and discharge rate within 20 days. However, none of these findings were statistically significant. BRH tablets may potentially have a beneficial effect in patients with COVID‐19, especially for those with lung or hepatic injury. A further definitive large‐scale clinical trial is feasible and necessary.

Abstract
Tumor cells usually display metabolic, genetic, and microenvironment-related alterations, which are beneficial to tumor proliferation, tumor development, and resistance occurrence. Many transporters and enzymes, including ATB0,+, xCT, and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), are involved in the altered cell metabolism and tumor microenvironment and often abnormally upregulated in malignant tumors. Meanwhile, these dysregulated transporters and enzymes provide targets not only for a pharmacological blockage to suppress tumor progress but also for tumor-specific delivery. Although transporters and MMPs have been widely reported for antitumor drug delivery, the feasibility of utilizing two strategies has never been elucidated yet. Herein, we developed an MMP2-activated and ATB0,+-targeted liposome with doxorubicin and sorafenib (DS@MA-LS) loaded for optimal tumor drug delivery for cancer therapy. DS@MA-LS was designed to prolong blood circulation and deshield the PEG shell from MMP2 cleavage to expose lysine and target overexpressed ATB0,+ for enhanced tumor distribution and cancer cellular uptake. Besides the anticancer effects of loaded drugs, the endocytosed liposomes could further increase ROS production and suppress the antioxidant system to amplify oxidative stress. As expected, DS@MA-LS displayed enhanced targeted drug delivery to tumor sites with the MMP2-controlled ligand exposure and ATB0,+-mediated uptake. More importantly, DS@MA-LS successfully inhibited the tumor growth and cancer cell proliferation both in vitro and in vivo by enhancing apoptosis and ferroptosis, which thanks to the increased ROS generation and impaired GSH synthesis synergistically amplified oxidative stress. Our results suggested that the tumor microenvironment-responsive, multistaged nanoplatform, DS@MA-LS, has excellent potential for optimal drug delivery and enhanced cancer treatment.

Abstract
Islet transplantation is an attractive treatment for type 1 diabetic patients. However, transplanted islets suffered from considerable cell death due to inflammatory reactions and oxidative stress. Ferroptosis is a programmed death characterized by iron-dependent lipid peroxidation, which has been implicated in the islet loss and dysfunction. Our previous studies showed that bilirubin displayed protection effect for islets by inhibiting early inflammation and oxidative stress. However, whether bilirubin protects islets by targeting ferroptosis has not yet been elucidated. Here, the isolated islet was exposed to ferroptosis-inducing agents with or without bilirubin. Islet viability, insulin secretion, and oxidative stress levels were assessed. Subsequently, the pretreated islets were transplanted into the subrenal site of streptozotocin-induced diabetic mice. Bilirubin could significantly attenuate ferroptosis in isolated islets, along with reduced oxidative stress, elevated GPX4 expression and upregulation of Nrf2/HO-1. Experimental data also confirmed that bilirubin could chelate iron. In vivo graft study demonstrated that euglycemia was achieved in diabetic mice receiving bilirubin-pretreated islets within 24 hours, while the control islets required at least 7 days. Bilirubin could improve islet viability and function through inhibiting ferroptosis, which could be of clinic interest to apply bilirubin into the islet transplantation system.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a progressive and degenerative disease, which is no longer confined to the elderly. So far, current treatments are limited to symptom relief, and no valid OA disease-modifying drugs are available. Additionally, OA relative joint is challenging for drug delivery, since the drugs experience rapid clearance in joint, showing a poor bioavailability. Existing therapeutic drugs, like non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and corticosteroids, are not conducive for long-term use due to adverse effects. Though supplementations, including chondroitin sulfate and glucosamine, have shown beneficial effects on joint tissues in OA, their therapeutic use is still debatable. New emerging agents, like Kartogenin (KGN) and Interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1 ra), without a proper formulation, still will not work. Therefore, it is urgent to establish a suitable and efficient drug delivery system for OA therapy. In this review, we pay attention to various types of drug delivery systems and potential therapeutic drugs that may escalate OA treatments.

Abstract
Aloin-A (also known as barbaloin), the main bioactive anthraquinone-C-glycoside of Aloe species, exhibits various beneficial pharmacological effects. However, the determination and pharmacokinetic study of aloin-A in rat plasma need to be improved and systematically demonstrated. In the present study, a simple, robust and sensitive ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS) method for rapid quantification of aloin-A in rat plasma was developed. Plasma preparation was conducted by a single step protein precipitation with obtusin serving as an internal standards (IS) followed by separation of the analytes using an Agilent C18 column with a gradient mobile phase comprised of acetonitrile and formic acid aqueous solution. Negative ion electrospray was used and multiple reaction monitoring transitions were m/z 417.1 → 297.0 for aloin-A and m/z 343.1 → 328.1 for IS, respectively. The developed method was validated with linear range of 1-1000 ng/mL. All validation parameters were well within the acceptance criteria based on the guidance of FDA. The validated approach was successfully applied to analyze samples from a pharmacokinetic study in healthy rats following intravenous and oral administration. Aloin-A was found to be quickly absorbed, extensively distributed and rapidly eliminated. The absolute bioavailability of aloin-A was 5.79%.

Abstract
Alpinetin, a bioactive flavonoid, has attracted great attention due to its diverse therapeutic effects, namely anti-oxidant, anti-tumor and anti-inflammatory effects with low systemic toxicity. Various determination methods have been developed in quality control and plant chemistry areas. However, quantification and pharmacokinetics of alpinetin in biological matrix have not been studied. In the present research, a sensitive, efficient and reliable ultrahigh performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS) method for the determination of alpinetin in rat plasma was developed and validated. Plasma samples were processed with protein precipitation (PP) followed by a 5-fold acetonitrile/water (50:50, v/v) dilution to significantly decrease matrix effect which exited in one step PP method. Determination of alpinetin was conducted using positive electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry in multiple reaction monitoring mode. Results demonstrated that the method was precise (3.3%-12.3%), accurate (-5.8% to 10.8%) and linear in the range of 1-1000 ng/mL. The new developed method was subsequently applied to a pharmacokinetic research of alpinetin following oral and intravenous dosing to healthy Sprague-Dawley rats. Alpinetin was demonstrated rapid absorption after oral administration with an absolute bioavailability of ∼15.1% and extensive distribution after dosing.

Abstract
Transient elastography (TE) is accurate in staging fibrosis noninvasively. However, a reliable serum biomarker with comparable accuracy is also important, especially when TE is unreliable/unavailable. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the diagnostic performance of serum Golgi protein 73 (GP73) for significant fibrosis in patients with chronic HBV infection. A total of 801 patients with chronic liver disease (CLD; 492 chronic HBV infection and 309 non-HBV liver disease) with liver biopsy performance were enrolled. Healthy controls (n = 180) and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients (n = 85) were included for comparisons. Liver biopsy was used as the reference method for fibrosis staging. Serum GP73 level was measured in duplicate in double-blind fashion. Serum GP73 was highest in HCC but also significantly higher in chronic hepatitis B than in healthy controls. The elevation of serum GP73 in non-HCC patients was significantly associated with the presence of significant fibrosis independently of ALT level, liver stiffness (LS) value, inflammation grade and other confounding factors. The diagnostic performance of serum GP73 was accurate in antiviral-naïve HBV patients (area under the receiver operating curve [AUROC], 0.76 95% CI: 0.72-0.81) but not in patients with ongoing antiviral treatment (AUROC, 0.60). The utility of serum GP73 was also confirmed in non-HBV CLD (AUROC, 0.80 95% CI: 0.75-0.85). Serum GP73 was comparable to LS (AUROC, 0.78 95% CI: 0.73-0.82) and significantly better than AST to platelet ratio index (APRI) (AUROC, 0.67 95% CI: 0.62-0.72) and FIB-4 (AUROC, 0.68 95% CI: 0.63-0.73). In conclusion, serum GP73 is an accurate serum marker for significant fibrosis in chronic HBV infection, with higher accuracy than APRI and FIB-4. Serum GP73 is potentially a complementary tool for TE when evaluating the necessity of antiviral treatment, particularly in patients without definite antiviral indication.

Abstract
Chemotherapy response rates in patients with cholangiocarcinoma remain low, primarily due to the development of drug resistance. Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of cancer cells is widely accepted to be important for metastasis and progression, but it has also been linked to the development of chemoresistance. Salinomycin (an antibiotic) has shown some potential as a chemotherapeutic agent as it selectively kills cancer stem cells, and has been hypothesized to block the EMT process. In this study, we investigated whether salinomycin could reverse the chemoresistance of cholangiocarcinoma cells to the chemotherapy drug doxorubicin. We found that combined salinomycin with doxorubicin treatment resulted in a significant decrease in cell viability compared with doxorubicin or salinomycin treatment alone in two cholangiocarcinoma cell lines (RBE and Huh-28). The dosages of both drugs that were required to produce a cytotoxic effect decreased, indicating that these two drugs have a synergistic effect. In terms of mechanism, salinomycin reversed doxorubicin-induced EMT of cholangiocarcinoma cells, as shown morphologically and through the detection of EMT markers. Moreover, we showed that salinomycin treatment downregulated the AMP-activated protein kinase family member 5 (ARK5) expression, which regulates the EMT process of cholangiocarcinoma. Our results indicated that salinomycin reversed the EMT process in cholangiocarcinoma cells by inhibiting ARK5 expression and enhanced the chemosensitivity of cholangiocarcinoma cells to doxorubicin. Therefore, a combined treatment of salinomycin with doxorubicin could be used to enhance doxorubicin sensitivity in patients with cholangiocarcinoma.

Abstract
In this work, a sensitive and selective UPLC-MS/MS method for determination of ardisiacrispin A in rat plasma was developed. Cyasterone used as an internal standard (IS) and protein precipitation by acetonitrile-methanol (9:1, v/v) was used to prepare samples. Chromatographic separation was achieved on a UPLC BEH C18 column (2.1 × 100 mm, 1.7 μm) with 0.1% formic acid and acetonitrile as the mobile phase with gradient elution. An electrospray ionization source was applied and operated in positive ion mode; multiple reaction monitoring mode was used for quantification using target fragment ions m/z 1083.5 → 407.1 for ardisiacrispin A and m/z 521.3 → 485.2 for IS. Calibration plots were linear throughout the range 5-2000 ng/mL for ardisiacrispin A in rat plasma. Mean recoveries of ardisiacrispin A in rat plasma ranged from 80.4 to 92.6%. The values of RSD of intra- and inter-day precision were both <11%. The accuracy of the method was between 97.3 and 105.6%. The method was successfully applied to pharmacokinetic study of ardisiacrispin A after intravenous administration in rats.

Abstract
Controversy exists on the relationship between serum thyrotropin (TSH) and blood pressure, and only a few prospective studies are available up to now. The study aimed to investigate the association between serum TSH within the reference range and blood pressure through a 5-year follow-up study. A total of 623 subjects with normal TSH were followed up for 5 years, including the measurement of demographic data, blood pressure, height, weight and serum TSH. Finally, 531 subjects were included in this prospective study. Body mass index (BMI), prevalence of hypertension, and systolic and diastolic blood pressure were all higher at follow-up than at baseline. Adjusted for age, gender, smoking status, BMI and homoeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) at baseline, multiple linear regression analyses found no relationship between serum TSH at baseline and levels of blood pressure at follow-up, but the changes in serum TSH levels during follow-up was positively associated with the changes in systolic blood pressure (B=2.134, P<0.05), which became more significant in women but not significant in men. The change of systolic blood pressure in group of TSH increase >0.5 mIU l-1 was significantly higher than in group of TSH decrease >0.5 mIU l-1 within reference, after adjusting for age, gender, smoking status, BMI and HOMA-IR at baseline. This result became more significant in women, but no statistical significance was observed in men. Co-variation with serum TSH levels and blood pressure was observed during 5-year follow-up among people with normal TSH.

Abstract
Recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA) is a common complication of pregnancy. Recent studies have demonstrated that the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) might play important roles in establishing and maintaining early pregnancy. In this study, we found that placental AhR protein levels were significantly lower and placental CYP1A1 mRNA levels were higher in unexplained RSA (URSA) patients than in control subjects. The results of immunohistochemical analyzes showed that placental AhR was expressed in syncytiotrophoblast cells and that the level of AhR was markedly lower in these cells in URSA subjects than in control subjects. β-Naphthoflavone (β-NF, an AhR ligand) at 5μM significantly inhibited proliferation and migration in HTR-8/SVneo cells and was associated with the activation of AhR. Moreover, overexpressing AhR in JAR cells significantly increased CYP1A1 mRNA levels and inhibited cell migration. These results indicate that AhR is highly activated in URSA placentas and that the activation of AhR in the placenta might impair trophoblast cell proliferation and migration, possibly leading to the occurrence of URSA.

Abstract
Magnoflorine is one of the most widespread aporphine alkaloids. In this work, a sensitive and selective ultra performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) method for the determination of magnoflorine in rat plasma and mouse tissue have been developed and validated. After addition of nuciferine as an internal standard (IS), protein precipitation by acetonitrile-methanol (9:1, v/v) was used for samples treatment. Chromatographic separation was achieved on a UPLC BEH C18 column (2.1 mm×100 mm, 1.7 μm) with 0.1% formic acid and acetonitrile as the mobile phase with gradient elution. An electrospray ionization source was applied and operated in positive ion mode; multiple reactions monitoring (MRM) mode was used for quantification using target fragment ions m/z 342.8→298.2 for magnoflorine and m/z 296.0→265.1 for IS. Calibration plots were linear throughout the range 2-2000 ng/mL for magnoflorine in rat plasma and tissue. Mean recoveries of magnoflorine in rat plasma were better than 83.0%. RSD of intra-day and inter-day precision were both less than 9%. The accuracy of the method was between 95.5% and 107.5%. The method was successfully applied to pharmacokinetics and tissue distribution study of magnoflorine. The absolute bioavailability of magnoflorine was reported as 22.6%. The magnoflorine underwent a rapid and wide distribution to tissues; the level of magnoflorine in liver is highest, then followed by heart, spleen and lung. Based on tissue distribution data, a back-propagation artificial neural network (BP-ANN) method was developed and it could be used to predict the concentrations of magnoflorine in tissues.

Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the effect of Datura stramonium on rats by examining the differences in urine and serum metabolites between Datura stramonium groups and control group. SIMCA-P+12.0.1.0 software was used for partial least-squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) to screen for the differential metabolites. Fifteen metabolites in urine including malonic acid, pentanedioic acid, D-xylose, D-ribose, xylulose, azelaic acid, threitol, glycine, butanoic acid, D-mannose, D-gluconic acid, galactonic acid, myo-inositol, octadecanoic acid, pseudouridine and ten metabolites in serum including alanine, butanedioic acid, L-methionine, propanedioic acid, hexadecanoic acid, D-fructose, tetradecanoic acid, D-glucose, D-galactose, oleic acid were selected as the characteristic metabolites. The PLS-DA scores plot indicated that serum and urine metabolites have a variety of changes among low dose group, high dose group and control group. These metabolites were related with amino metabolism, lipid metabolism and energy metabolism. The result reflected the relationship between metabolites in rat fluid and Datura stramonium spectra. Potential differences in metabolites and metabolic pathway analysis showed that the establishment of urine and serum metabolomics methods for further evaluating drug has great significance.

Abstract
Nuciferine has shown remarkable biological activities and been considered as a promising drug. In this study, a sensitive and selective ultra performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) method was developed and validated for determination of nuciferine in tissue and plasma. An electrospray ionization source was applied and operated in positive ion mode; multiple reactions monitoring (MRM) mode was used for quantification using target fragment ions m/z 296.0→265.1 for nuciferine, and m/z 322.0→307.0 for berberrubine internal standard (IS). Based on the UPLC-MS/MS method, the tissue distribution profile of nuciferine in mice and plasma pharmacokinetics in rat were studied. The results showed nuciferine was absorbed through intestinal tract and distributed into tissues rapidly. The bioavailability of nuciferine was identified at 17.9%. It can across through blood brain barrier, the concentrations in liver and kidney are highest, then followed by spleen, lung heart and brain. Nuciferine is eliminated quickly in the tissues and plasma, the t1/2 within 5 hour. The concentrations in these tissues are correlated to each other, and can be predicted by a back-propagation artificial neural network model.

Abstract
IL-17 is a pro-inflammatory cytokine implicated in the pathogenesis of inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. However the role of IL-17 in renal allograft rejection has not been fully explored. Here, we investigate the impact of IL-17 in a fully MHC-mismatched, life-sustaining, murine model of kidney allograft rejection using IL-17 deficient donors and recipients (IL-17(-/-) allografts). IL-17(-/-) allografts exhibited prolonged survival which was associated with reduced expression of the Th1 cytokine IFN-γ and histological attenuation of acute and chronic allograft rejection, as compared to wild-type allograft recipients. Results were confirmed in WT allograft recipients treated with an IL-17 blocking antibody. Subsequent experiments using either donors or recipients deficient in IL-17 showed a trend towards prolongation of survival only when recipients were IL-17(-/-) . Administration of a depleting anti-CD25 antibody to IL-17(-/-) recipients abrogated the survival advantage conferred by IL-17 deficiency, suggesting the involvement of a CD4(+) CD25(+) T cell regulatory mechanism. Therefore, IL-17 deficiency or neutralization was protective against the development of kidney allograft rejection, which may be mediated by impairment of Th1 responses and/or enhanced protection by Tregs.

Abstract
Colitis is still a significant disease challenge in humans, but its underlying mechanism remains to be fully elucidated. The transient receptor potential vanilloid (TRPV) ion channel plays an important pathological role in host immunity, as deficiency of TRPV compromises host defence in vivo and in vitro. Using a DSS-induced colitis mouse model, the function of TRPV2 in the development of colitis was investigated, utilizing TRPV2(-/-) and Wt mice. Less severe colitis was observed in TRPV2(-/-) , compared to that of Wt mice, at the clinical, histopathological and immunohistochemical levels. Compared to Wt mice, reduced severity of colitis in TRPV2(-/-) mice may be due to less intestinal inflammation via reduced recruitment of macrophages. The TRPV2 pathway contributes to the development of colitis. These data provide useful information for potential therapeutic intervention in colitis patients.

Abstract
The application potential of four duckweed strains from four genera, Wolffia globosa 0222, Lemna japonica 0223, Landoltia punctata 0224 and Spirodela polyrhiza 0225, were compared in four parallel pilot-scale wastewater treatment systems for more than 1 year. The results indicated that each duckweed strain had unique potential advantages. Unlike L. japonica 0223 and La. punctata 0224, which grow throughout the year, S. polyrhiza 0225 and W. globosa 0222 do not survive cold weather. For year round performance, L. japonica 0223 was best not only in dry biomass production (6.10 g·m(-2) ·day(-1) ), but also in crude protein (35.50%), total amino acid (26.83%) and phosphorus (1.38%) content, plus recovery rates of total nitrogen (TN), total phosphorus (TP) and CO2 (0.31, 0.085 and 7.76 g·m(-2) ·day(-1) , respectively) and removal rates of TN and TP (0.66 and 0.089 g·m(-2) ·day(-1) , respectively). This strongly demonstrates that L. japonica 0223 performed best in wastewater treatment and protein biomass production. Under nutrient starvation conditions, La. punctata 0224 had the highest starch content (45.84%), dry biomass production (4.81 g·m(-2) ·day(-1) ) and starch accumulation (2.9 g·m(-2) ·day(-1) ), making it best for starch biomass production. W. globosa 0222 and S. polyrhiza 0225 showed increased flavonoid biomass production, with higher total flavonoid content (5.85% and 4.22%, respectively) and high dominant flavonoids (>60%). This study provides useful information for selecting the appropriate local duckweed strains for further application in wastewater treatment and valuable biomass production.
