Diabetic cardiomyopathy （DCM）， a cardiovascular complication caused by diabetes mellitus， is a major cause of heart failure and even sudden cardiac death in diabetic patients. Traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） posits that the core pathogenesis of DCM lies in internal deficiency and superficial excess， characterized by deficiency of both Qi and Yin combined with phlegm and blood stasis. Modern medical treatments for DCM primarily focus on blood glucose control and symptom alleviation yet lack targeted therapeutic strategies. In contrast， TCM offers a wealth of practical experience and a complete theoretical system， demonstrating definite clinical efficacy and high medication safety in DCM management. As a classic formula for tonifying Qi and nourishing Yin， Shengmaisan comprises Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma， Ophiopogonis Radix， and Schisandrae Chinensis Fructus. It contains multiple bioactive components， including ginsenosides， ophiopogonin， schisandrins， and homoisoflavonoids， which exhibit cardioprotective properties. The therapeutic mechanisms of Shengmaisan-like formulae for DCM involve enhancing myocardial contractility， attenuating myocardial fibrosis， modulating mitochondrial quality control， regulating glucose metabolism， mitigating oxidative stress， and suppressing inflammatory responses. Clinically， Shengmaisan-like formulae not only manage hyperglycemic status but also ameliorate cardiac structural and functional impairments and enhance exercise tolerance in DCM patients， playing a vital role in the prevention， treatment， and rehabilitation of DCM. This paper analyzes the feasibility of Shengmaisan-like formulae in DCM management and synthesizes current research achievements regarding their chemical components， mechanisms of action， and clinical applications， aiming to provide a scientific foundation for the use of such formulae in the treatment of DCM.

Diabetes has long been considered a risk factor in implant therapy and impaired wound healing in soft and hard oral tissues. Magnesium has been proved to promote bone healing under normal conditions. Here, we elucidate the mechanism by which Mg²⁺ promotes angiogenesis and osseointegration in diabetic status. We generated a diabetic mice model and demonstrated the alveolar bone healing was compromised, with significantly decreased angiogenesis. We then developed Mg-coating implants with hydrothermal synthesis. These implants successfully improved the vascularization and osseointegration in diabetic status. Mechanically, Mg²⁺ promoted the degradation of Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1) and the nucleation of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) by up-regulating the expression of sestrin 2 (SESN2) in endothelial cells, thus reducing the elevated levels of oxidative stress in mitochondria and relieving endothelial cell dysfunction under hyperglycemia. Altogether, our data suggested that Mg²⁺ promoted angiogenesis and osseointegration in diabetic mice by regulating endothelial mitochondrial metabolism.

ObjectiveTo explore the underlying mechanism by which the Chinese medicine compound Yitangkang granule（YTK） treats diabetic kidney disease （DKD） by observing its effects on podocyte autophagy through the regulation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase （PI3K）/protein kinase B （Akt）/forkhead transcription factor O1 （FoxO1） signaling pathway mediated by silent information regulator 1 （SIRT1） via advanced glycation end products （AGE）/receptor for AGE （RAGE） axis. MethodNinety-six 8-week-old healthy male SPF-grade Wistar rats were selected and randomly divided into blank control group （B）， model control group， high-dose YTK （40 g·kg^-1）， medium-dose YTK （20 g·kg^-1）， low-dose YTK （10 g·kg^-1）， and Western medicine control （20 mg·kg^-1 losartan） groups. The DKD rat model was established by high-fat diet feeding combined with intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin. After successful modeling， the rats in each group received the corresponding treatments for eight weeks. The levels of superoxide dismutase （SOD）， malondialdehyde （MDA）， glutathione peroxidase （GSH-Px）， and catalase （CAT） were measured according to the instructions of the respective assay kits. Hematoxylin and eosin （HE） staining was used to observe pathological changes in kidney tissues. Immunohistochemistry was employed to detect the average optical density values of α-smooth muscle actin （α-SMA）， fibronectin （FN）， desmin， and nephrin. Western blot analysis was used to measure the expression levels of PI3K， phosphorylated PI3K （p-PI3K）， Akt， phosphorylated Akt （p-Akt）， RAGE， SIRT1， Caspase-3， and FoxO1 proteins in kidney tissues of DKD rats. ResultCompared with the blank control group， the model group showed significantly lower levels of SOD， GSH-Px， and CAT， and significantly higher levels of MDA （P<0.01）. The rats exhibited severe kidney damage. The positive expression of podocyte marker proteins α-SMA， FN， and desmin increased significantly， while nephrin and podocin significantly decreased （P<0.01）. The expression levels of PI3K， p-PI3K， Akt， p-Akt， RAGE， and Caspase-3 proteins were significantly elevated， while SIRT1 and FoxO1 protein levels were significantly reduced （P<0.01）. Compared with the model control group， rats in the YTK treatment groups showed significantly higher levels of SOD， GSH-Px， and CAT， and significantly lower levels of MDA in serum （P<0.01）. The degree of kidney damage was reduced to varying extents. The average optical density values of podocyte marker proteins α-SMA， FN， and desmin were significantly decreased， while nephrin and podocin significantly increased （P<0.01）. The expression levels of PI3K， p-PI3K， Akt， p-Akt， RAGE， and Caspase-3 in kidney tissues were significantly reduced， while SIRT1 and FoxO1 expression levels significantly increased （P<0.01）. The Chinese medicine groups demonstrated a clear dose-response trend. ConclusionYTK may alleviate kidney pathological damage， reduce proteinuria， and protect kidney function in DKD rats， thereby delaying the progression of DKD by improving podocyte autophagy through the AGE-RAGE axis-mediated SIRT1 regulation of the PI3K/Akt/FoxO1 signaling pathway. Additionally， a dose-response relationship was observed in the Chinese medicine groups.

Objective:To sort out medical device related policies in Anhui Province,to analyze the distribution of content in each policy text to provide reference for policy optimization in the later stage.Methods:The official websites of the People's Government of Anhui Province and the Anhui Provincial Drug Administration were searched by using the keywords of"medical devices","medical device enterprises",and"medical consumables"to search for medical device related policy documents released from January 2011 to December 2022.The 21 medical device-related policy documents retrieved shall be coded using the content analysis method in the sequence of"policy code-chapter number-unit number-sentence number".A two-dimensional analytical framework of"Basic Policy Instruments-Involved Subjects"was constructed to quantitatively analyze the medical device policy text from the two dimensions of policy instruments-involved subjects.Results:A total of 338 items were codes,including 107 supply-based policy tools(accounting for 31.66%),40 demand-based policy tools(accounting for 11.83%),and 191 environmental policy tools(accounting for 56.51%).The 338 codes involved entities including 202 government departments(accounting for 59.76%),62 operating enterprises(accounting for 18.34%),59 production enterprises(accounting for 17.46%),9 medical institutions(accounting for 2.66%),and 6 industry associations(accounting for 1.78%).Conclusion:The medical device policy in Anhui Province is mainly based on environmental policy tools,and demand-based policy tools are rarely used.The rationality of the distribution of internal items and participating entities in policy tools needs to be improved.There are certain differences in the interaction between each entity and policy tools.Therefore,it is necessary to strengthen the balance of policy tool use,increase the participation of multiple entities,and optimize the synergy between entities and policy tools.
