Abstract:
The purpose of this study is to explore the potential mechanism of Si-Wu-Tang (SWT) against esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). Initially, 18 active molecules and 96 related targets of SWT obtained from publicly accessible databases. Through Genecards database queries and gene differential expression analysis combined with weighted gene correlation network analysis (WGCNA) on the GSE20347 dataset of ESCC, 3649 disease targets were identified. A subsequent analysis of Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway enrichment was performed on 51 disease-drug intersection genes using the R language. Additionally, we identified 3 target hub genes (CDK1, NCOA1, and CHRM3) utilizing machine learning tools. Single-gene GSEA results suggested that hub genes may influence several signaling pathways and biological processes. Immune infiltration analysis demonstrated that SWT might impact the tumor immune microenvironment in ESCC by acting on hub targets. Molecular docking demonstrated the presence of affinity between target hub proteins and active compounds. This study revealed that SWT might exert its therapeutic effects on ESCC through multi-targets and multi-mechanisms.

Cell Potential and Free Energy
Thermodynamics is the branch of physics dealing with the relationship between heat and other forms of energy. In an electrochemical cell, chemical energy is converted into electrical energy.
Thus, a link can be predicted between cell potential, free energy change, and the equilibrium constant for the reaction. Cell potential can also be measured as the oxidant or the reducing strength, and similar acid-base strength measures are reflected in equilibrium...
