    Abstract: This study aimed to explore the effect of Taohong Siwu Decoction (THSWD) on bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) at the cellular level and the possible mechanism of systemic regulation of gut microbiota on fracture recovery. Methods and Results Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) experiments show that THSWD effectively promotes the proliferation of BMSCs. Transwell and wound healing assays show that THSWD effectively promotes the invasion and migration of BMSCs. Alizarin red staining showed that the THSWD model enhanced the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs. Moreover, the effect of THSWD on BMSCs is time- and concentration-dependent. RT-qPCR and western blot results showed that THSWD treatment up-regulated the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and focal adhesion kinase (FAK) at mRNA and protein levels, respectively. Haematoxylin–eosin and crocin O-quick green staining showed that after 14 days of THSWD treatment, the area of callus and cartilage regeneration at the fracture site increased significantly in rats with right femoral shaft fractures. Gut microbiota was changed in fractured rats, such as the abundance of Bacteroidetes and Firmicutes was increased. THSWD showed positive regulation of both to a certain extent. Conclusion THSWD up-regulates VEGF and activates the FAK signalling pathway to enhance the development and differentiation of BMSCs, and systematically regulates the gut microbiota to promote fracture healing. Significance and Impact of Study This study provides new insights on the cellular and systemic level to understand the mechanism of THSWD in the treatment of fractures.

    Abstract: The emergence and spread of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) pose a threat to public health. Antimicrobial peptides provide a new treatment option for CRKP infections. Objectives We studied antibacterial activities of WAM-1 against CRKP in vitro and in vivo and explored its possible mechanism. We verified safety and factors affecting antibacterial effect. Furthermore, anti-inflammatory effects were investigated. Methods We selected eight CRKP and eight carbapenem-susceptible K. pneumoniae to explore the antibacterial activity of WAM-1 by broth microdilution (BMD). The possible mechanism was investigated by alkaline phosphatase leakage and propidium iodide (PI). We evaluated safety of WAM-1 by cytotoxicity and haemolysis and effects of temperature and serum on the antibacterial activity. We investigated in vivo efficacy of WAM-1 by the Galleria mellonella infection model. We investigated the effect of WAM-1 on TNF-α. Results BMD showed that WAM-1 had a good antibacterial effect with MICs of 2–4 mg/L and MBCs of 4–8 mg/L. RT–qPCR showed that WAM-1 could inhibit the expression of TNF-α. The cytotoxicity and haemolysis test proved that WAM-1 had certain potential application in vivo. Alkaline phosphatase leakage and PI fluorescence showed that WAM-1 was highly likely to exert an antibacterial effect by destroying bacterial membrane. The G. mellonella infection model suggested that WAM-1 may have a good therapeutic effect in vivo. Temperature had little effect on the activity of WAM-1. Serum, however, reduced WAM-1 activity. Conclusions WAM-1 has good antibacterial effect and potential anti-inflammatory effect on infection caused by CRKP.
