To Explore the Functional Connectivity Pattern of Cortical Swallowing Network in the Oral Phase of Post-stroke Dysphagia Based on Dynamic Causal Modelling

Swallowing activity in the oral phase is regulated by the cortical swallowing network, and the functional connectivity pattern of the cortical swallowing network is related to swallowing activity. The structural damage of the cortical swallowing network and abnormal activation of brain areas related to swallowing in post-stroke dysphagia affect swallowing activity. The recovery of dysphagia after stroke is related to the compensation of swallowing network in the contralateral hemisphere and different connectivity patterns of diseased brain areas, and the integrity of cortical swallowing network connectivity affects the sequence of oral swallowing activities. However, it is not clear how the functional connectivity patterns and interactions of brain regions of the cortical swallowing network related to oral swallowing activity change in patients with oral dysphagia after stroke.

Author: Li, Hua ; Li, Yuxia ; Chen, Lixia ; Sun, Dejuan ; Xu, Yang ; Chen, Jinxia

Sophora flavescens Aiton is a plant in the Leguminosae family. As a traditional Chinese medicine, it is used to treat eczema, bloody stool, skin pruritus, and so on. By studying non-alkaloid components in the roots of S. flavescens, we obtained a total of 49 compounds (1-49), including three undescribed flavonoids (13, 15 and 18), five undescribed isopentenyl flavonoids (32, 34, 38, 39 and 48), two known coumarins (1-2), three phenolic acids (3-5), one known isopentenyl flavonoids (19-31, 33, 35-37, 40-47 and 49). On the basis of chemical evidences and spectral data analysis (UV, ECD, Optical rotation data, 1D/2D-NMR and HR-ESI-MS), the structures of undescribed compounds were elucidated. The inhibitory effect of compounds 1-49 on LPS induced NO production in RAW 264.7 cells was detected. Compounds 11, 19, 21-24, and 28-30 showed significant inhibitory effects, and the IC₅₀ values of compounds 11 and 22 even reached 4.58 ± 0.66 and 4.53 ± 0.66 μM. This study suggests that flavonoids may be the main component that exerts anti-inflammatory effects in the non-alkaloid extraction layer of the extract from the roots of S. flavescens.

Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation for Cognitive Impairment Rehabilitation: A Bibliometric Analysis

Article

Author: Liu, Hong ; Hou, Meijin ; Zhuang, Zesen ; Chen, Cong ; Wu, Mengyuan ; Huang, Haoyu ; Xu, Ying

BACKGROUND AND AIMSAs global demographics shift toward an older population, cognitive impairment is becoming increasingly critical. Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS), an innovative brain stimulation technique, has the potential to significantly improve cognitive function. Our main aim is to comprehensively analyze the existing literature, identify key aspects of tDCS research in the rehabilitation of cognitive impairment, and predict future trends in this field.METHODSWe used the Web of Science (WOS) database to search for English articles and reviews relevant to this topic. For visual analysis of the literature, we employed the WOS analysis tool, CiteSpace, along with VOSviewer software to ensure comprehensive analysis.RESULTSWe included 2940 articles published between 1998 and 2023. Over 25 years, annual publications and citations in this field increased steadily, peaking at 379 articles in 2021. Michael A. Nitsche was a major contributor. Most articles came from developed countries, primarily North America and Europe, and journals generally had modest impact factors. Research in this field primarily aims to treat cognitive impairment resulting from pathological aging or neuropsychiatric disorders, with a particular focus on specific brain regions. Recently, researchers have integrated various treatment modalities with tDCS techniques to actively investigate effective strategies to mitigate cognitive impairments associated with pathological aging.CONCLUSIONThis study presents the first bibliometric analysis of the literature on tDCS in the rehabilitation of cognitive impairment, highlighting key areas of research and emerging trends. These findings provide critical insights for future tDCS interventions targeting cognitive impairment associated with pathological aging.

Hepatoprotective action mechanism and quantification of soyasaponin Bb in Abri Herba by HPLC and network pharmacology

Article

Author: Huang, Baokang ; Zhang, Chengzhong ; Lin, Xingmei

ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCEThe herb of Abrus cantoniensis Hance (AC) is an important Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and is also used as an herbal tea with hepatoprotective action. Soyasaponin Bb is one of the pharmacodynamic substances of AC for the herb's effective pharmacological activity. This study aims to investigate the anti-fibrotic and hepatoprotective activities of soyasaponin Bb in vivo and in vitro experiments, mechanism by network pharmacology and quantification by HPLC.MATERIALS AND METHODSHigh-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was applied to evaluate the quality of the herb and determine the contents of soyasaponin Bb from different sources and parts of the AC. In vivo experiments were conducted to induce an acute liver injury model by injecting CCl₄ into mice, and an in vitro hepatic fibrosis model was established by cultivating LX-2 cells with TGF-β₁. These models were used to explore the anti-fibrotic and hepatoprotective effects of soyasaponin Bb and its underlying mechanisms. In addition, the potential target genes corresponding to soyasaponin Bb were identified using the Swiss Target Prediction database through network pharmacology methods. Meanwhile, hepatic fibrosis targets were screened using the GeneCards, TTD, and OMIM disease databases. The STING database was used to construct the protein-protein interaction (PPI) network of soyasaponin Bb-hepatic fibrosis. The soyasaponin Bb-hepatic fibrosis disease target-pathway network was constructed using Cytoscape 3.9.1 software. Gene Ontology (GO) and the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analyses were performed to enrich and analyze the common targets of the drug and the disease, aiming to identify the potential targets and pathways involved in the anti-fibrotic and hepatoprotective effects of soyasaponin Bb.RESULTSThe content of soyasaponin Bb varied across different sources, with the roots containing the highest concentration, up to 0.2480%. In vivo experiments showed that soyasaponin Bb had a protective effect against CCl₄-induced acute liver injury, effectively inhibiting the increase in ALT and AST levels and slowing down the hepatocyte inflammatory damage caused by CCl₄. Soyasaponin Bb also down-regulated MDA levels and up-regulated SOD levels, indicating a certain antioxidant capacity. In vitro cell experiments showed that soyasaponin Bb could effectively inhibit the proliferation of HSC-LX2 cells induced by TGF-β₁ by regulating the TGF-β₁/α-SMA pathway, significantly down-regulate the protein expression of TGF-β₁ and α-SMA, while also reducing the levels of inflammatory cytokines IL-6 and IL-1β. Further network pharmacology analysis suggested that soyasaponin Bb can exert anti-fibrosis activity by regulating the IBD signaling pathway, Th17 signaling pathway, Hepatitis B signaling pathway, and JAK-STAT signaling pathway.CONCLUSIONSoyasaponin Bb is primarily distributed in the root of AC, and it has a strong protective effect against CCl₄-induced acute liver injury. It can reduce the level of inflammatory factors, relieve inflammation, and exert anti-fibrotic activity by regulating the TGF-β₁/α-SMA pathway. Its potential anti-hepatic fibrosis mechanism has been investigated through network pharmacology.
