Objective To explore the effect of QizhiJiangtang Capsule on the insulin resistance (IR)in the diabetic rats,and to clarify the action mechanism.Methods The diabetes rat models were induced by high fat diet combined with STZ injection.The successful models of the rats were randomly divided into diabetes group (DM), ShenqiJiangtang Granule group (SQ)and high (QJH),middle-(QJM),low (QJL)doses of QizhiJiangtang Capsule groups;at the same time control group (NC)was established. The drug concentrations in high, middle and low-doses of QizhiJiangtang Capsules groups were 1.35, 0.68, and 0.34 g · kg-1 respectively;and the concentration of ShenqiJiangtang Granule was 0.27 g·kg-1.After the diabetic model was established successfully, the rats were treated for 8 weeks on the basis of drug dose.Then the levels of fasting blood glucose (FBG),fasting insulin (FINS),insulin resistance index (IRI)and biochemical indexes related to lipid metabolism of the rats were measured using blood glucose detector and automatic biochemistry analyser.The gene expression of insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1),phosphatidyl inositol 3-kinase (PI3K),and glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4)in liver tissue were examined by Real Time PCR.The levels of tumor necrosis factorα(TNF-α)and adiponectin (ADPN)in serum were detected using ELISA.Results Compared with control group,the levels of FBG,FINS and IRI of the rats in diabetes group were significantly increased (P<0.05 or P<0.01 );the serum total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG)and low density lipoprotein (LDL)levels were significantly increased (P<0.05 ), while the serum high-density lipoprotein (HDL)level was significantly decreased (P<0.05);the mRNA expression levels of IRS-1,PI3K and GLUT4 in liver tissue were decreased (P<0.05);the level of serum TNF-αwas increased (P<0.05),but the ADPN level was decreased (P<0.05).Compared with diabetes group,the FBG level and IRI of the rats in QizhiJiangtang Capsule and ShenqiJiangtang Granule groups were significantly decreased (P<0.01);the levels of FINS of the rats middle and high doses of in QizhiJiangtang Capsule groups and ShenqiJiangtang Granule group were significantly decreased (P<0.05);the levels of serum TC,TG and LDL of the rats in middle dose of QizhiJiangtang Capsule group and ShenqiJiangtang Granule group were significantly decreased (P<0.05 or P<0.01),but the HDL level was increased (P<0.05);the mRBA expression lvels of IRS-1,PI3K and GLUT4 inliver tissue were increased (P<0.05);the levels of serum TNF-αof the rats in middle dose of QizhiJiangtang Capsule group and Shenqijiangtang Granule group were significantly decreased (P<0.05),but the serum ADPN levels were increased (P<0.05 ). Conclusion QizhiJiangtang Capsule can significantly improve the IR in the diabetic rats,and the pharmacological mechanisms are related to adapting the blood lipid component and insulin signal transduction pathways.

Objective:To summarize the clinical features and postoperative efficacy of patients with oval window atresia accompanied by facial nerve aberration.Methods:The clinical data of patients with congenital middle ear malformation with facial nerve aberration admitted to our hospital from January 2015 to March 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 97 cases (133 ears) in total. Among them, 39 patients (44 ears) had complete follow-up data, including 27 male patients and 12 females, aged 7-48 years old, with an average age of 17.8 years old. Of these, 14 cases (16 ears) were patients combined with facial nerve aberration, and 25 cases (28 ears) were without facial nerve aberration. The results of imaging examination, pure-tone audiometry, selection of surgical strategy, intraoperative findings and postoperative hearing improvement were summarized and analyzed. The malformations of malleus, incus, stapes, oval window and facial nerve were recorded. Prism 9 software was used to statistically analyze the mean bone conductance and air-bone gap of patients before and after surgery.Results:All the 14 patients (16 ears) with middle ear malformation accompanied by facial nerve aberration and oval window atresia showed poor hearing and no facial palsy since childhood. High resolution CT (HRCT) examination of temporal bone, pure tone audiometry and Gelle test were performed before surgery. The malformations of malleus, incus, stapes, oval window and facial nerve were recorded. Preoperative high-resolution CT (HRCT) examination of temporal bone found 12 ears with 4 or more deformities, accounting for 75.00%, in the group of patients with facial nerve malformation. The preoperative average bone conductive threshold was (15.3±10.4) dB and the average air-bone gap was (46.3±10.6) dB in pure-tone audiometry (0.5, 1, 2, 4kHz). According to the different degrees of facial nerve and ossicle malformation, we performed three different hearing reconstruction strategies for the 14 patients (16 ears) with facial nerve aberration and oval window atresia, including 7 ears of incus bypass artificial stape implantation, 7 ears of Malleostapedotomy (MS) and 2 ears of Malleus-cochlear-prothesis (MCP). After 3 months to 18 months of follow-up, all patients showed no facial paralysis. The postoperative mean bone conductive threshold was (15.7±7.9) dB and air-bone gap was (19.8±8.5) dB. There were significant differences in mean air-bone gap before and after operation ( t=7.766, P<0.05), and there was no significant difference between the mean bone conductive threshold before and after surgery ( t=0.225, P=0.824). There was no significant difference of mean reduction of air-bone gap between patients with and without facial nerve aberration ( t=1.412, P=0.165). There was no significant difference between the three hearing reconstruction strategies. There was no significant displacement of the Piston examined by U-HRCT. Conclusion:For patients of middle ear malformation whose facial nerve cover the oval window partially, incus bypass artificial stape implantation or Malleostapedotomy (MS) can be selected according to the specific condition of auditory ossis malformation, and for patients whose facial nerve completely covers the oval window area, Malleus-cochlear-prothesis (MCP) can be selected. Three types of stapes surgery are safe and reliable for patients with oval window atresia accompanied by facial nerve aberration. There was no significant difference in efficacy between them. Preoperative HRCT assessment of middle ear malformation is effective. There is no significant difference of surgical effect with or without facial nerve aberration. The U-HRCT can be used to evaluate the middle ear malformation before surgery and the Piston implantation status after surgery. Due to the risks of surgery, those who do not want to undergo surgery can choose artificial hearing AIDS, such as hearing aid, vibrating soundbridge, bone bridge or bone-anchored hearing aid.

Encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV) is a non-enveloped, positive-sense, single-stranded RNA virus that belongs to the family Picornaviridae and the genus Cardiovirus. EMCV has the ability to infect various mammals, such as mice, pigs, and cattle. In addition, humans are susceptible to EMCV infection, and the seropositivity rate of relevant antibodies in healthy populations is steadily increasing, which poses a potential risk of epidemics. The initial step of viral infection in cells involves recognition and attachment to cell surface receptors, followed by endocytosis into the cells. Subsequently, viral proteins interact with host proteins within the cells to promote their own replication. With the progress made in protein-protein interaction studies and the development of high-throughput sequencing technologies, multiple host proteins that interact with EMCV have been identified. This article summarizes the host proteins that interact with EMCV during infection, explores the mechanisms by which these proteins facilitate or inhibit viral invasion, discusses the latest progress in EMCV-induced endocytosis and intracellular signaling, hoping to provide reference for better elucidating EMCV receptor proteins, understanding viral infection and replication mechanisms, studying virus-host interactions and tissue tropism, and developing novel targeted antiviral drugs and prevention strategies.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the improvement effects of 3，5，6，7，8，3′，4′-heptamethoxyflavone （HMF） of Fructus Aurantii on rats with damp blockage of the middle energizer. METHODS The rats were randomly divided into normal group， model group， positive control group （Raceanisodamine tablet， 1 mg/kg）， HMF low-dose， medium-dose and high-dose groups （0.3， 0.6， 0.9 mg/kg）， with 7 rats in each group. Except for the normal group， the other groups were modeled by internal and external composite factors. After successful modeling， the rats in each group were given the corresponding drug or normal saline， once a day， for 14 days. The general behavioral states such as dietary intake， water intake and mental state of the rats were observed， and the fecal water content rate and saliva flow rate were measured. Hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining was used to observe the pathological and morphology in gastric and small intestinal tissues of rats. The plasma content of aldosterone was detected， and the expression of aquaporins （AQP3） in the gastric tissue of rats was determined. RESULTS Compared with the normal group， the dietary intake and water intake of the model group rats were significantly decreased （P＜0.01）， the fecal water content rate， salivary flow rate， plasma content of aldosterone and the expression of AQP3 in gastric tissue were increased significantly （P＜0.01）. Gastric tissue injury invaded the mucosal muscle layer， resulting in mucosal muscle layer rupture； pathological and morphological changes such as small intestinal villous erosion and glandular structure destruction were observed in the small intestine. Compared with the model group， the dietary intake and water intake of rats were increased in HMF groups； fecal water content rate， salivary flow rate， plasma content of aldosterone， the expression of AQP3 in gastric tissue were decreased， most of the above differences were statistically significant （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. The pathological and morphological changes in the gastric and small intestine tissues of rats had been improved to varying degrees. CONCLUSIONS HMF of Fructus Aurantii with dry property HMF could improve the symptoms of rats with damp blockage of middle energizer， the mechanism of which may be associated with reducing the content of plasma aldosterone and down-regulating the expression of gastric AQP3.
