ObjectiveTo investigate the effect and mechanism of Yishen Tongluo prescription in protecting mice from oxidative stress injury in diabetic kidney disease （DKD） via the nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 （Nrf2）/heme oxygenase-1 （HO-1）/NAD（P）H quinone oxidoreductase 1 （NQO1） signaling pathway. MethodsSpecific pathogen-free （SPF） male C57BL/6 mice were assigned into a control group （n=10） and a modeling group （n=50）. The DKD model was established by intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin. The mice in the modeling group were randomized into a model group， a semaglutide （40 μg·kg^-1） group， and high-， medium-， and low-dose （18.2， 9.1， 4.55 g·kg^-1， respectively） Yishen Tongluo prescription groups， with 10 mice in each group. The treatment lasted for 12 weeks. Blood glucose and 24-h urine protein levels were measured， and the kidney index （KI） was calculated. Serum levels of creatinine （SCr）， blood urea nitrogen （BUN）， alanine aminotransferase （ALT）， and aspartate aminotransferase （AST） were assessed. The pathological changes in the renal tissue were evaluated by hematoxylin-eosin， periodic acid-Schiff， periodic acid-silver methenamine， and Masson’s trichrome staining. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kits were used to measure the levels of β2-microglobulin （β2-MG）， neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin （NGAL）， kidney injury molecule-1 （KIM-1）， liver fatty acid-binding protein （L-FABP）， nitric oxide synthase （NOS）， glutathione （GSH）， total antioxidant capacity （T-AOC）， and 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine （8-OHdG）. Immunohistochemical staining was performed to examine the expression of Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 （Keap1） and malondialdehyde （MDA）. Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR） and Western blot were employed to determine the mRNA and protein levels， respectively， of factors in the Nrf2/HO-1/NQO1 signaling pathway. ResultsCompared with the control group， the DKD model group showed rises in blood glucose， 24-h urine protein， KI， SCr， BUN， and ALT levels， along with glomerular hypertrophy， renal tubular dilation， thickened basement membrane， mesangial expansion， and collagen deposition. Additionally， the model group showed elevated levels of β2-MG， NGAL， KIM-1， L-FABP， NOS， and 8-OHdG， lowered levels of GSH and T-AOC， up-regulated expression of MDA and Keap1， and down-regulated expression of Nrf2， HO-1， NQO1， and glutamate-cysteine ligase catalytic subunit （GCLC） （P<0.05）. Compared with the model group， the semaglutide group and the medium- and high-dose Yishen Tongluo prescription groups showed reductions in blood glucose， 24-h urine protein， KI， SCr， BUN， and ALT levels， along with alleviated pathological injuries in the renal tissue. In addition， the three groups showed lowered levels of β2-MG， NGAL， KIM-1， L-FABP， NOS， and 8-OHdG， elevated levels of GSH and T-AOC， down-regulated expression of MDA and Keap1， and up-regulated expression of Nrf2， HO-1， NQO1， and GCLC （P<0.05）. ConclusionYishen Tongluo prescription exerts renoprotective effects in the mouse model of DKD by modulating the Nrf2/HO-1/NQO1 signaling pathway， mitigating oxidative stress， and reducing renal tubular injuries.

Objective: To investigate the mechanism of Yishen Tongluo Formula in ameliorating renal pyroptosis in diabetic nephropathy mice by regulating the toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)/myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MyD88)/nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) signaling pathway. Methods: Sixty C57BL/6 male mice were randomly divided into control (10 mice) and intervention groups (50 mice) using random number table method. The diabetes nephropathy model was established by intraperitoneally injecting streptozotocin(50 mg/kg). After modeling, the intervention group was further divided into model, semaglutide (40 μg/kg), and high-, medium-, and low-dose Yishen Tongluo Formula groups (15.6, 7.8, and 3.9 g/kg, respectively) using random number table method. The high-, medium-, and low-dose Yishen Tongluo Formula groups were administered corresponding doses of medication by gavage, the semaglutide group received a subcutaneous injection of semaglutide injection, and the control group and model groups were administered distilled water by gavage for 12 consecutive weeks. Random blood glucose levels of mice in each group were monitored, and the 24-h urinary protein content was measured using biochemical method every 4 weeks; after treatment, the serum creatinine and urea nitrogen levels were measured using biochemical method. The weight of the kidneys was measured, and the renal index was calculated. Hematoxylin and eosin, periodic acid-Schiff, periodic Schiff-methenamine, and Masson staining were used to observe the pathological changes in renal tissue. An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to detect urinary β2-microglobulin (β2-MG), neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), and kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1) levels. Western blotting and real-time fluorescence PCR were used to detect the relative protein and mRNA expression levels of nucleotide-binding domain leucine-rich repeat and pyrin domain-containing receptor 3 (NLRP3), Caspase-1, gasdermin D (GSDMD), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), and interleukin-18 (IL-18) in renal tissue. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the proportion of protein staining area of the TLR4, MyD88, and NF-κB in renal tissue. Results: Compared with the control group, the random blood glucose, 24-h urinary protein, serum creatinine, urea nitrogen, and renal index of the model group increased, and the urine β2-MG, NGAL, and KIM-1 levels increased. The relative protein and mRNA expression levels of NLRP3, Caspase-1, GSDMD, IL-1β, and IL-18 in renal tissue increased, and the proportion of TLR4, MyD88, and NF-κB protein positive staining areas increased (P<0.05). Pathological changes such as glomerular hypertrophy were observed in the renal tissue of the model group. Compared with the model group, the Yishen Tongluo Formula high-dose group showed a decrease in random blood glucose after 12 weeks of treatment (P<0.05). The Yishen Tongluo Formula high- and medium-dose groups showed a decrease in 24-h urinary protein, creatinine, urea nitrogen, and renal index, as well as decreased β2-MG, NGAL, and KIM-1 levels. NLRP3, Caspase-1, GSDMD, IL-1 β, and IL-18 relative protein and mRNA expression levels were also reduced, and the proportion of TLR4, MyD88, and NF-κB protein positive staining areas was reduced (P<0.05). Pathological damage to renal tissue was ameliorated. Conclusion Yishen Tongluo Formula may exert protective renal effects by inhibiting renal pyroptosis and alleviating tubular interstitial injury in diabetic nephropathy mice by regulating the TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB signaling pathway.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy， safety and cost-effectiveness of tirzepatide for diabetes mellitus type 2 （T2DM） and long-term weight management， and provide evidence-based basis for clinical drug treatment and health insurance policy formulation. METHODS Computer searches were conducted in Embase， PubMed， the Cochrane Library， CNKI and health technology assessment （HTA） official website from their inception to October 1st 2024 to collect HTA report， systematic review/ meta-analysis and pharmacoeconomic study on tirzepatide for the treatment of T2DM or for weight management. After data extraction and quality evaluation， descriptive analysis was performed on the research results. RESULTS Totally 18 papers were included， including 14 systematic reviews/meta-analyses and 4 pharmacoeconomics studies， and no HTA report was retrieved. In terms of efficacy， most results showed that the tirzepatide 10 mg and 15 mg were significantly better than other glucagon-like peptide-1 （GLP-1） receptor agonists in reducing glycosylated hemoglobin， body weight， and waist circumference （P＜0.05）. In terms of safety， compared with other GLP-1 receptor agonists， tirzepatide did not increase the incidence of gastrointestinal-related adverse events （AE）， the incidence of AE of grade ≥3， or the incidence of severe hypoglycemia （P＞0.05）. However， tirzepatide 15 mg may significantly increased the incidence of hypoglycemia and the rate of discontinuation due to adverse reactions （P＜ 0.05）. In terms of cost-effectiveness， based on the background of foreign pharmacoeconomic studies， tirzepatide was more cost- effective compared to semaglutide and liraglutide in the treatment of T2DM or for weight management. CONCLUSIONS Tirzepatide at doses of 10 mg and 15 mg has good efficacy and safety for the treatment of T2DM and for long-term weight management. However， when using the 15 mg dose of tirzepatide， close monitoring is required due to the risk of hypoglycemia and discontinuation due to adverse reactions it may pose. Based on pharmacoeconomic studies conducted abroad results， tirzepatide exhibits economic advantages.

Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is a common microvascular complication of diabetes. "Internal heat leading to zheng" is the core pathogenesis of DKD, while "glucose toxicity" is transformed from subtle substances through "internal heat" and the cementation of various pathological products, which is pivotal to the transformation of diabetes to DKD. "Glucose toxicity" is characterized by deep and widespread heat, caused by various pathological factors, and its sticky nature makes it difficult to resolve, which can cause severe damage to the kidney collaterals. In the early stage of "glucose toxicity", it is yang pathogen, which can be transformed into yin pathogen in the later stage with disease progression. In clinical practice, treatment should be based on disease staging, with attention on grasping the pathogenesis of "internal heat leading to zheng" and identifying the nature of "glucose toxicity". During the diabetic period, clearing heat is the primary method, often using modified Yueju Pill and Dachaihu Decoction. In the early stage of DKD, treatment primarily focuses on clearing and penetrating latent heat to treat DKD, aiming to prevent toxic heat from transitioning from qi to blood. The approach emphasizes clearing heat and re-penetrating, detoxification, and re-clearing, often using a self-made modified Qingre Xiaozheng Decoction. In the middle and late stages of DKD, the focus shifts to clearing heat, eliminating zheng, strengthening vital qi, and dispelling turbidity, with commonly used treatments including the self-made modified Xiezhuo Xiaozheng Formula, Jingui Shenqi Pill, and Zhenwu Decoction.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the improvement effects and mechanism of Zhichi suanzaoren decoction （ZSD） on hippocampal oxidative stress injury in hippocampal neurons of mice with perimenopausal insomnia. METHODS The potential targets of active ingredients in ZSD were predicted using TCMSP and TCMIP databases； the targets related to insomnia were searched through GeneCards， OMIM and DisGeNET databases； protein-protein interaction network of intersecting targets of ZSD ingredients and insomnia was constructed； Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway enrichment analyses were conducted on key targets. Sixty mice were divided into sham operation group， model group， ZSD low-， medium-， and high-dose groups （11， 22， and 33 g/kg）， and eszopiclone group （positive control， 1 mg/kg）. Except for sham operation group， the perimenopausal insomnia model was constructed by ovariectomy （OVX） in the other groups. After successful modeling， mice in each group were gavaged with normal saline or the corresponding drug solution， once a day， for three consecutive weeks. The sleep status of mice was evaluated through the pentobarbital sodium sleep synergy experiment， and the pathological changes of hippocampal neurons and the expressions of related genes and proteins in mice were observed by HE staining， immunohistochemistry staining， immunofluorescence staining， transcriptome sequencing technology and Western blot. RESULTS The results of network pharmacology showed that there were 296 intersection targets between ZSD and perimenopausal insomnia. Protein kinase B1 （Akt1） was a key target for treating insomnia with ZSD. After administration of ZSD， the sleep latency of mice was shortened， the sleep duration was prolonged significantly， and the mean optical density value of neuron-specific nuclear protein in the hippocampal CA1 region was significantly increased （P＜0.01）. Additionally， hippocampal neuron damage in OVX mice was significantly alleviated. The results of transcriptome sequencing showed that ZSD significantly upregulated the transcriptional levels of Nfe2l2 gene in hippocampal tissue of OVX mice （P＜0.05）. After administration of ZSD， protein expressions of nuclear factor E2 related factor 2 （Nrf2） and heme oxygenase-1 （HO-1） in hippocampal tissue of OVX mice， as well as the phosphorylated Akt level， were increased significantly （P＜0.01）. CONCLUSIONS ZSD can ameliorate hippocampal oxidative stress injury of hippocampal neurons in perimenopausal insomnia mice by activating the Akt/Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of kidney sparing treatment based on Thulium laser ablation and systematic therapy in localized high-risk upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC).Methods:The data of 10 patients with UTUC who received combined treatment based on Thulium laser and systematic treatment from January 2020 to December 2021 in West China Hospital were retrospectively analysed. There were 5 males and 5 females with a median age of 76 (range 52 to 87)years old. Three cases were renal pelvis tumor and 7 cases were ureter tumor including 5 cases in lower ureter and 2 cases in upper and middle ureter. Five cases were with positive urine cytology and 6 cases were with hydronephrosis. One case was muscular invasion UTUC confirmed by biopsy(cT 2+), 7 cases were high-grade invasive urothelial carcinoma (cT 1+), and 2 cases were high-grade papillary urothelial carcinoma (cT a). Among 10 cases, 5 patients refused radical nephroureterectomy(RUN), among whom 3 patients were too old or in poor general condition to tolerate RNU. One case had a solitary kidney and 1 case had bilateral tumours. Patients were treated with Thulium laser tumor ablation under ureteroscopy combined with systemic therapy. The perioperative systemic treatment included platinum-based chemotherapy±immunotherapy, RC48+ immunotherapy, and immunotherapy alone. The postoperative treatment was immunotherapy maintenance±local radiotherapy. Strict follow-up was conducted after the completion of treatment. Results:Nine patients received systemic therapy before ablation. Four cycles of platinum-based chemotherapy (cisplatin in 2 cases, carboplatin in 1 case) were used in 3 cases, and platinum-based chemotherapy + immunotherapy (6 cycles of cisplatin + toripalimab in 1 case, 4 cycles of cisplatin + toripalimab in 1 case, 4 cycles of carboplatin+ trelizumab in 1 case) was used in 3 cases, four cycle of RC48 + immunotherapy (toripalimab or trelizumab) were used in 2 cases, and four cycles of immunotherapy (toripalimab) were used in 1 case. The operations of 10 cases were successfully completed without serious complications during the perioperative period and the laser working time (42.4 ± 15.2) min. Of the 10 cases, 4 achieved complete ablation at the first ablation, and 6 patients had incomplete ablation. Among them, 2 patients achieved clinical complete remission after 1-2 cycles of systemic therapy, and 4 patients achieved complete ablation after Thulium laser ablation again.All the 10 patients were treated with immunotherapy for 1 year, and 2 of them received additional adjuvant radiotherapy. The patients were followed-up for median 40 months(range 26 to 53 months). Recurrence occurred in 5 cases, of which 3 cases underwent salvage nephroureterectomy and 2 cases underwent Thulium laser ablation under ureteroscopy again. Five patients had no tumor recurrence. None of the 10 patients had distant metastasis. At the last follow-up, 1 patient died of complications and 6 patients kept the affected kidney alive. Perioperative complications including macroscopic hematuria (8 cases), fever (3 cases), the long-term complications of ureter stenosis (4 cases).Conclusions:For localized high-risk UTUC, local Thulium laser ablation combined with systemic therapy can achieve good tumor control while preserving the affected kidney in selected patients, and its potential application value should be further evaluated.
