Purpose:
Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a common male sexual dysfunction. Gut microbiota plays an important role in various diseases. To investigate the effects and mechanisms of intestinal flora dysregulation induced by high-fat diet (HFD) on erectile function.
Materials and Methods:
Male Sprague–Dawley rats aged 8 weeks were randomly divided into the normal diet (ND) and HFD groups. After 24 weeks, a measurement of erectile function was performed. We performed 16S rRNA sequencing of stool samples. Then, we established fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) rat models by transplanting fecal microbiota from rats of ND group and HFD group to two new groups of rats respectively. After 24 weeks, erectile function of the rats was evaluated and 16S rRNA sequencing was performed, and serum samples were collected for the untargeted metabolomics detection.
Results:
The erectile function of rats and the species diversity of intestinal microbiota in the HFD group was significantly lower, and the characteristics of the intestinal microbiota community structure were also significantly different between the two groups. The erectile function of rats in the HFD-FMT group was significantly lower than that of rats in the ND-FMT group. The characteristics of the intestinal microbiota community structure were significantly different. In the HFD-FMT group, 27 metabolites were significantly different and they were mainly involved in the several inflammation-related pathways.
Conclusions
Intestinal microbiota disorders induced by HFD can damage the intestinal barrier of rats, change the serum metabolic profile, induce low-grade inflammation and apoptosis in the corpus cavernosum of the penis, and lead to ED.

Based on the theory of "spleen functions as wei qi", this paper believes that the disease mechanism of allergic rhinitis (AR) in children is the nasal dysfunction caused by the loss of spleen's wei qi. The root cause of AR is the failure of splenic transportation as well as its inability to properly distribute nutrients. The inducement of AR is the invasion of pathogenic qi coupled with insecurity of the wei exterior. The key to AR recurrence lies in the deficiency of healthy qi and lingering of pathogenic qi, with pathogenic qi lodging inside the body. The treatment should adhere to the principle of helping the spleen restore wei qi. During the acute phase, the treatment should dispel wind, conso-lidate the wei qi, and relieve stuffy orifices, and the modified Qufeng Tongqiao Decoction (祛风通窍汤) is used. During the remission phase, the treatment should fortify the spleen, raise the clear, and harmonize the wei qi, and the modified Yuhan Decoction (御寒汤) is applied. During the recovery phase, the treatment should reinforce the healthy qi, consolidate the constitution, and strengthen the wei qi, and the modified Huangqi Jianzhong Decoction (黄芪建中汤) is employed.

The treatment of acute Stanford type A aortic dissection has always been extremely challenging. Organ malperfusion syndrome is a common severe complication of acute aortic dissection, which can cause organ ischemia and internal environment disorder. Malperfusion increases early mortality, and impacts the long-term prognosis. In recent years, many scholars have done some studies on aortic dissection complicated with malperfusion. They explored the pathogenesis, proposed new classification, and innovated new treatment strategies. However, at present, the treatment strategies of acute Stanford type A aortic dissection complicated with organ malperfusion are different at different centers and consensus on its treatment is still lacking. Therefore, this review summarized the pathogenesis, classification, treatment strategy, and prognosis of acute Stanford type A aortic dissection complicated with malperfusion.

It is believed that the main mechanism of idiopathic membranous nephropathy is the stagnation of qi and water. The clinical practice is guided by the principle of "treating water must be preceded by treating qi", and combined with the clinical characteristics of idiopathic membranous nephropathy, which advocated that qi regulation should be applied in the treatment of idiopathic membranous nephropathy. According to the different manifestations of disorder of qi movement in all zang-fu organs, different methods are adopted to strengthen the spleen to raise the clear, harmonise the stomach to reduce turbidity, lift the pot to uncover the lid, diffuse the lung and drain water, assist yang to transform qi, promote water retention and reduce edema, soothe the liver and resolve constraint, regulate qi movement, and promote the sanjiao to help the qi transformation, and prescribed such as Buzhong Yiqi Decoction (补中益气汤), Shengyang Yiqi Decoction (升阳益胃汤), Fangji Huangqi Decoction (防己黄芪汤), Danggui Shaoyao Powder (当归芍药散), Zhongman Fenxiao Pill (中满分消丸) are used flexibly to restore qi movement, and the edema will disappear by itself.

Objective To analyze the current status and hotspots of surgical transmural ablation of atrial fibrillation using CiteSpace and VOSviewer. Methods The Web of Science Core Collection database was used as the data source. The CiteSpace 5.8.R3 and VOSviewer software were used to analyze the related studies on surgical transmural ablation of atrial fibrillation about the authors, countries/institutions, literature co-citation and keywords. Results A total of 109 articles were enrolled. Damiano RJ was the most prolific researcher, while Cox JL was the author with the highest number of citations. The United States was the leading country in this research field. The University of Washington was an important institution in the study of atrial fibrillation transmural ablation. The main hotpots were the effectiveness of surgical ablation, especially Cox-maze procedure, selection of the energy source of surgical ablation, combination of surgical and catheter ablations, and pulmonary vein isolation. Conclusion This study visualizes the current research status of surgical ablation of atrial fibrillation. How to improve the effectiveness and transmurality of surgical ablation is a hot research topic in the surgical treatment of atrial fibrillation. The combination of electrophysiology mapping and surgical ablation may be the development direction in the surgical treatment of atrial fibrillation.
