Objective To observe the effects of hedysari polysaccharide (HPS) on myocardial fibrosis and the expression of MMP-2/TIMP-2 in model mice of diabetic cardiomyopathy; To discuss the mechanism of action of prevention and treatment of myocardial fibrosis in diabetes.Methods Sixty mice were randomly divided into model group, rosiglitazone group and HPS high-, mediume- and low-dose groups. The normal group was 12 non-transgenic male BKS.Cg-Dock7m+/+Leprdb/JNjumice with the same age. Each group was given relevant medicine for gavage, for 8 weeks. Blood glucose of mice before and after medication 2, 4, 6, and 8 weeks was detected. The levels of MMP-2, MMP-2 and MMP-9 in myocardium were measured by Masson staining. The protein expressions of MMP-2 and TIMP-1 in myocardium were detected by Western blot.Results Compared with the model group, the blood glucose of HPS (high- and medium dose) groups and rosiglitazone group decreased significantly. Masson staining showed that the green fibers in the model group significantly increased and rosiglitazone group and HPS high-dose group decreased compared with the model group. Western blot showed that the expressions of MMP-2 in model group and MMP-2/TIMP-2 ratio were declined significantly, while the expression of MMP-2 was increased and TIMP-2 was decreased significantly, and the ratio of MMP-2/TIMP-2 increased in rosiglitazone group and HPS high- and medium-dose group.Conclusion HPS may reduce the degree of myocardial fibrosis in model mice with diabetic cardiomyopathy. The therapeutic effect of HPS may be to relieve myocardial fibrosis in model mice by increasing the ratio of MMP-2/TIMP-2.

Objective To observe the effects of Hedysari Polysaccharide (HPS) on the expressions of TSP-1 and PDGF-B in the retina of diabetic rats;To discuss the protective effect and possible mechanism on diabetic retinopathy. Methods The diabetic model was established by intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin. 50 male SPF Wistar rats were randomly divided into 5 groups:model group, calcium dobesilate group, and HPS high-, medium-, and low-dose group, extra 10 rats were set as the normal group, 10 rats in each group. Each administration group was given relevant medicine for gavage, while model group and normal control group were given same amount NS for gavage, once a day for 8 weeks. The mRNA and protein expression of TSP-1 and PDGF-B were detected by qRT-PCR and immunohistochemistry. The retinal structure was observed by HE staining. Results HE staining showed that each layer of the retina of the model group was clear and complete, but the outer nucleus layer became looser, thinner and more disorderly, and the number of ganglion cells decreased slightly; the administration groups were improved markedly compared with the model group. Compared with the normal control group, the mRNA level and protein expression of retina TSP-1 on the model group dramatically dropped (P<0.01), and those of PDGF-B strikingly increased (P<0.01);Compared with the model group, the mRNA level and protein expression of retina TSP-1 on alladministration groups rose (P<0.05, P<0.01), and those of PDGF-B went down (P<0.01); Compared with all other administration groups, there was statistical significance in the mRNA level and protein expression of retina TSP-1 and PDGF-B on HPS high-dose group (P<0.05, P<0.01). Conclusion HPS may prevent the angiogenesis and proliferation in diabetic retinopathy process through adjusting the content of TSP-1 and PDGF-B in retina of diabetic rats so as to protect the retina.

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is one of the most common chronic microvascular complications of diabetes mellitus. It has a high rate of blindness, and the age of onset is gradually getting younger, which seriously affects the physical and mental health and quality of life of patients. The disease is retinal damage induced by diabetes mellitus, which is a kind of fundus disease with the main manifestations of fundus hemorrhage, hard exudation, microhemangioma, cotton-wool spots, neovascularization, etc. In traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), it is classified into the category of "diabetic cataracts" and other diseases. At present, there is no effective method to prevent the progress of the disease in modern medicine, so it is particularly important to choose a reasonable and effective intervention to prevent and treat DR. Studies have confirmed that TCM has unique advantages in the treatment of DR. It can use its advantages of multiple bioactive components, multiple targets, and multiple pathways to intervene in the development process of DR from various aspects. By searching for the relevant literature on the progress of the intervention of DR with TCM monomers and compounds, this paper mainly reviews the relevant research results of the treatment of DR with multiple signaling pathways such as phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (Akt), nuclear factor kappa-B(NF-κB), p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38 MAPK), nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor (Nrf2)/hemeoxygenase-1 (HO-1), Hippo, advanced glycation end products (AGEs)/receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE), and Akt/glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β), so as to provide more ideas and directions for the clinical prevention and treatment of DR.

OBJECTIVETo compare the differences in the clinical therapeutic effects on juvenile myopia between's stunt needling technique and traditional even needling technique.
METHODSA total of 166 cases of mild juvenile myopia (diopter <-3.00D) were randomized into an observation group ('s stunt needling technique) and a control group (traditional even needling technique), 83 cases in each one (166 affected eyes). Taiyang (EX-HN 5), Fengchi (GB 20), Cuanzhu (BL 2), Hegu (LI 4) and Guangming (GB 37) were used in the two groups. In the observation group, theneedling technique was adopted at Taiyang (EX-HN 5), theneedling technique at Fengchi (GB 20) andneedling technique at Cuanzhu (BL 2). The traditional needling technique was used at Hegu (LI 4) and Guangming (GB 37). In the control group, traditional even needling technique was applied at all the acupoints. The treatment was given once every day, continuously for 6 times as one course. There was 1 day at interval. After treatment for 4 courses, the changes in visual acuity, diopter and axial length were observed before and after treatment. The therapeutic effects were evaluated.
RESULTSAfter treatment, the visual acuity of the naked eyes, and diopter were remarkably improved in the patients of the two groups (all<0.05). The improvements in the observation group were better than those in the control group (both<0.05). The axial length did not change in the two groups (both>0.05). The total effective rate was 78.3% (130/166) in the observation group, which was better than 57.8% (96/166) in the control group (<0.05). .
CONCLUSION 's stunt needling technique effectively improves the vision, rectifies the refractive error and delays the progression of myopia. The therapeutic effects of it are better than traditional even needling technique.
