Cardiovascular diseases are a class of circulatory system diseases involving the heart and vessels， including arrhythmia， hypertension， coronary heart disease， myocardial infarction， heart failure and so on. Due to the complicated pathogenesis， diverse disease types， and difficult treatment， cardiovascular diseases pose serious threatens to the human health. Therefore， it is urgent to develop effective therapies. Ferroptosis， a new type of cell death different from autophagy and apoptosis， is iron-dependent and accompanied by lipid peroxide accumulation. The mechanism of ferroptosis is complex. Recent studies have shown that iron homeostasis plays a role in the occurrence of ferroptosis， which may be induced by iron intake， utilization， and output and iron-related protein synthesis. In addition， iron homeostasis and ferroptosis have been confirmed to be involved in the pathological process of cardiovascular diseases， so regulating iron homeostasis and ferroptosis in cardiomyocytes may be a focus of the future research on cardiovascular diseases. Traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） provides a unique treatment method， and the unique syndrome differentiation system and treatment methods have been widely used in the clinical diagnosis， prevention， and treatment of cardiovascular diseases. Studies have demonstrated that TCM compound prescriptions and the active components in Chinese medicinal materials can regulate iron homeostasis and ferroptosis to protect cardiomyocytes. This paper introduces the mechanism of iron homeostasis in regulating ferroptosis and summarizes the effects of iron homeostasis-mediated ferroptosis on cardiovascular diseases. Furthermore， the research progress of TCM in regulating iron homeostasis-mediated ferroptosis in cardiovascular diseases is reviewed to provide new ideas for TCM prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases.

To investigate the genomic features and perform cluster analysis of Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) to provide an experimental basis for guiding the prevention and treatment of CRKP infections.A retrospective case-cohort study was conducted on 19 non-redundant CRKP strains isolated from the Tenth Affiliated Hospital of Southern Medical University between January and June 2023. Whole genome sequencing (WGS) and multilocus sequence typing (MLST) were performed to compare genomic features and analyze the resistance genes and homology of the strains.The results showed that the 19 CRKP strains were isolated from 8 different clinical departments, mainly from respiratory specimens. The whole genome sequencing revealed that the genomic lengths of CRKP ranged from 4.90 to 5.85 Mbp, with contigs N50 values>20 kb for each genome. The median overall GC content was 57.0% (50.4%-57.1%). Comparative genomic analysis identified three regions with high genomic variability. WGS detected 32 resistance genes across 11 categories. All 19 strains carried carbapenem resistance genes ( blaKPC-2 and blaOXA-48), blaTEM-1B extended-spectrum β-lactamase resistance genes, qnrS1 quinolone resistance gene, and fosA fosfomycin resistance gene, with each strain carrying only one carbapenemase gene. The detection rate of blaKPC-2 was 94.7% (18/19). MLST identified three sequence types: ST11, ST437 and ST147, with ST11 being predominant (89.5%, 17/19). Clustering analysis based on acquired resistance genes revealed three clonal transmission patterns among strains 72 and 90, and strains 88, 84, 66 and 79.In conclusion, CRKP strains carry multiple resistance genes, and clustering analysis indicating that nosocomial clonal transmission is closely related to acquired resistance genes. The ST11- blaKPC-2 type strain is the predominant clone. Strengthened surveillance and effective control strategies are necessary to reduce nosocomial transmission of CRKP.

Objective To explore the immune-microenvironment of the retinas at different stages of retinal degeneration in Royal College of Surgeon (RCS) rats. Methods RCS-rdy--P+(RCS) rats at early stage (P20), middle stage (P40) and late stage (P60) were involved,12 rats at each post-natal day,RCS-rdy+-P+rats severed as control. Relative concentrations of rat cytokines in rat retina homogenate were detected by using Bio-Plex Suspension Array System. Relative expressions of interleukin-2 (IL-2),C-C motif ligand 2 (CCL2),chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 9 (CXCL9),CXCL10,CXCL11 and interferon-γ(IFN-γ) mRNA in rat retina were analyzed by real-time PCR. Expressions of IFN-γ and immune cells surface marker CD4,CD8 and CD161 in the retinas were detected by immunohistochemical staining. Percentage of IFN-γ positive T lymphocytes and natural killer(NK) cells in rat retina were analyzed by flow cytometry. The concentrations of IFN-γ in rat retina homogenate were evaluated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay ( ELISA ). The use and care of the animals complied with Regulations for the Administration of Affair Concerning Experimental Animals by State Science and Technology Commission. Results Lymphocytes related cytokines and chemokines mRNA expression levels in the RCS rat retinas showed increase trends with the extension of time. The expression levels of IL-2,CCL2,CXCL9,CXCL10,CXCL11 and IFN-γ mRNA in P60 RCS rat retinas were significantly increased than those in the P20 RCS rat retinas and the control rat retinas (all at P<0.05).The positive rates of CD4,CD8 and CD161 cells in the retinas of P60 RCS rats was (9.09±0.89)%, (18.77±0.38)% and (9.41±0.38)% ,respectively. The proportion of IFN-γ positive cells in the retinas of P60 RCS rats was (8.29±0.27)%,which was significantly higher than that of the control rats ([0.28±0.02]%),with a significant difference between them (t=29.03,P=0.00). CD4+,CD8+and CD161+lymphocytes were mainly distributed in the retinas of P60 RCS rats, and the expressions of IFN-γ were co-located with lymphocyte surface markers. There were significant differences in the concentrations of IFN-γ in the retinas of RCS rats and control rats at different day ages (Fgroup=16.49,P<0.01; Ftime=21.05,P<0.01),the concentration of IFN-γ in retinas of P60 RCS rats was significantly higher than that of P20 RCS rats, P40 RCS rats and control rats, and the differences were statistically significant ( all at P<0.05). Conclusions Along with the process of retinal degeneration,immune privilege balance in the retinas is disrupted, the expressions of lymphocytes related chemokines and cytokines are elevated. Lymphocytes infiltration and activation are appeared in the retina highly activated at the late stage of RP, leading to the significant up-regulation of inflammatory cytokine IFN-γ in microenvironment, which indicates that lymphocytes mediated immune response may take part in retinal degeneration.

Heart failure （HF） is a group of syndromes caused by cardiac dysfunction with impaired ventricular pumping， seriously affecting patients' health and quality of life. The pathogenesis of HF is complex， including myocardial contractility decline， myocardial fibrosis， and ventricular remodeling， and it is related to neuroendocrine regulation， inflammation， and cardiomyocyte autophagy. Autophagy is a key regulatory mechanism by which cells degrade themselves to maintain body homeostasis. In the process of HF， moderate autophagy can remove aging and damaged cardiomyocytes and maintain the balance of myocardial energy metabolism， while abnormal autophagy may lead to functional decline and pathological changes of cardiomyocytes. The adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase （AMPK）/mammalian target of rapamycin （mTOR） signaling pathway is one of the classical pathways regulating autophagy. This pathway can mediate the autophagy of cardiomyocytes and play a role in protecting the cardiac function and delaying HF progression. Traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） with a long history has a unique theoretical system and shows satisfactory therapeutic effects and wide application prospects amid the integration with modern medicine. The clinical practice of TCM has accumulated rich experience in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. A large number of studies have shown that the active components and compound prescriptions of TCM and Chinese patent medicines can mediate autophagy by regulating the AMPK/mTOR signaling pathway to treat HF. This article explains the role of AMPK/mTOR signaling pathway-mediated autophagy in the treatment of HF， introduces the understanding of autophagy， AMPK/mTOR signaling pathway， and HF based on TCM theories， and reviews the research progress in the regulation of autophagy by TCM in the treatment of HF via the AMPK/mTOR pathway. This review is expected to tap the potential of TCM in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases， provide theoretical support for subsequent experimental studies， and demonstrate the advantages of TCM in clinical practice to achieve more accurate treatment.

Heart failure is a group of complex clinical syndromes that represent the final stage of cardiovascular disease development， characterized by an extremely high mortality rate. However， due to the complexity of the pathological mechanisms， an effective treatment method has not yet been found. Mitochondria are among the most critical organelles in cells， playing an essential role in energy supply and widely participating in various life activities， such as the regulation of oxidative stress and apoptosis. The normal functioning of mitochondria is crucial for maintaining the body's normal life activities. In recent years， studies have found that mitochondrial dysfunction is associated with the occurrence and progression of various diseases， particularly closely related to the onset of heart failure. An imbalance in mitochondrial homeostasis is a key factor in cardiomyocyte death and the onset of heart failure. Mitochondrial autophagy， as a means of regulating mitochondrial homeostasis， is significant for the prevention and treatment of heart failure. Traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） therapy is a unique treatment approach in China now widely applied in clinical practice， demonstrating significant efficacy in treating heart failure， with unique advantages. Modern pharmacological research indicates that Chinese medicine monomers and compounds can target and regulate mitochondrial homeostasis in cardiomyocytes， affect mitochondrial autophagy， and protect cardiomyocytes， though the specific mechanisms remain unclear. Therefore， this paper explored the mechanisms of the PTEN-induced putative kinase 1 （PINK1）/Parkin pathway in mitochondrial autophagy and heart failure， reviewed the effects of PINK1/Parkin-mediated mitochondrial autophagy on heart failure， and discussed the therapeutic effects of PINK1/Parkin-mediated mitochondrial autophagy on heart failure in conjunction with TCM. This paper is expected to provide new ideas and methods for the prevention and treatment of heart failure from the perspective of PINK1/Parkin regulation of mitochondrial autophagy.
