Objective To evaluate the relationship between macrophage migration inhibitory factor ( MIF) expression and obese-induced abolition of sevoflurane preconditioning-induced cardioprotection in mice. Methods Forty-eight male C57BL∕6J mice, aged 4 weeks, were divided into 2 groups ( n=24 each) using a random number table method: normal diet group ( Lean group ) and high-fat diet group ( Obese group) . Lean group were fed a normal diet ( 10％ kcal) for 12 weeks, while Obese group were fed a high-fat diet ( 60％ kcal) for 12 weeks. The weight of mice was measured. Blood samples were collected from the tail vein for determination of blood glucose concentrations, and plasma concentrations of total cho-lesterol, triglyceride, insulin and leptin. After measurement of the parameters mentioned above, Lean group and Obese group were divided into 3 subgroups ( n=8 each) using a random number table method:sham operation groups (L-Sham group, O-Sham group), myocardial ischemia-reperfusion groups (L-IR group, O-IR group) and sevoflurane preconditioning groups (L-IR+Sev group, O-IR+Sev group). The mice were anesthetized and their hearts were immediately removed and retrogradely perfused in a Langendorff apparatus with an oxygenated K-H solution at 37 ℃. Hearts were continuously perfused with K-H solution for 115 min in L-Sham and O-Sham groups. Hearts were subjected to global ischemia for 25 min, followed by 60-min reperfusion after being retrogradely perfused with K-H solution in L-IR and O-IR groups. In L-IR+Sev and O-IR+Sev groups, hearts were subjected to 3 cycles of 5-min perfusion with sevoflurane-contai-ning K-H solution ( final concentration 0. 6 mmol∕L) and 5-min washout, and then hearts were subjected to global ischemia for 25 min, followed by 60-min reperfusion. Left ventricular developed pressure ( LVDP ) , left ventricular end-diastolic pressure ( LVEDP ) , and the maximum rate of increase or decrease in left ventricular pressure ( ±dp∕dtmax) were recorded at the end of reperfusion. Hearts were obtained at the end of reperfusion for determination of myocardial infarct size and expression of MIF ( by Western blot) . Results Compared with Lean group, the weight, blood glucose, levels of plasma total cholesterol, tri-glyceride, insulin and leptin were significantly increased in Obese group (P<0. 05). Compared with L-Sham group, the LVDP and +dp∕dtmax were significantly decreased, LVEDP and -dp∕dtmax were in-creased, myocardial infarct size was increased, and the expression of myocardial MIF was up-regulated in L-IR and L-IR+Sev groups, and the expression of myocardial MIF was up-regulated in O-Sham group ( P<0. 05) . Compared with L-IR group, LVDP and +dp∕dtmax were significantly increased, LVEDP and-dp∕dtmax were decreased, myocardial infarct size was decreased, and the expression of myocardial MIF was up-regulated in group L-IR+Sev, and the expression of myocardial MIF was significantly up-regulated in group O-IR (P<0. 05). Compared with O-Sham group, LVDP and +dp∕dtmax were significantly de-creased, LVEDP and-dp∕dtmax were increased, and myocardial infarct size was increased, and no signif-icant change was found in the expression of MIF in O-IR and O-IR+Sev groups ( P>0. 05) . Conclusion The mechanism by which obese abolishes sevoflurane preconditioning-induced cardioprotection may be relat-ed to inducing MIF over-expression in mice.

Idiopathic oligoasthenospermia （IO） has been increasingly emphasized in the diagnosis and treatment of male infertility. Oxidative stress damage directly affects sperm quality and spermatogenesis， constituting a major causative factor of IO. Firstly， due to its high content of polyunsaturated fatty acids， the sperm plasma membrane is highly sensitive to reactive oxygen species （ROS）， leading to lipid peroxidation accumulation and even inducing ferroptosis. Secondly， deficient downstream key proteins in the base excision repair pathway render sperm unable to repair extensive DNA oxidative damage under oxidative stress. Simultaneously， under oxidative stress， the apoptotic pathway of sperm is cascade-activated， causing rapid loss of motility. ROS further disrupts the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis， inhibiting testosterone production and ultimately affecting spermatogenesis. Wuzi Yanzongwan，in line with traditional Chinese medicine theory of treating IO through "nourishing kidney essence and harmonizing Yin and Yang"， clinically demonstrates its ability to improve sperm morphology， count， and motility， thereby enhancing male fertility. The research on the pharmacological constituents of Wuzi Yanzongwan primarily involves establishing a characteristic spectrum of Chinese medicine to achieve quality control and exploring the pharmacology of effective components. Studies have found that its main active ingredients consist of flavonoids and phenylpropanoids. Specifically， compounds such as hyperin， acteoside， kaempferol， and schisandrin A are identified as the primary active substances and quality control components. These compounds exhibit strong antioxidant activity and have been partly applied in research related to reproductive endocrine disorders. Tripterygium glycoside is primarily used for modeling of oxidative stress-induced IO. It leads to the accumulation of various lipid peroxides in testicular tissues and concurrently compromises the body's antioxidant capacity. Mechanistic studies have found that Wuzi Yanzongwan can inhibit elevated ROS levels in IO models and enhance the body's antioxidant capacity， thereby ameliorating inflammation， suppressing cell apoptosis， promoting testosterone production， and ultimately alleviating the decline in sperm quality and spermatogenesis caused by oxidative stress.
