The occurrence of diabetes mellitus （DM） is closely related to insulin resistance and islet β cell dysfunction. Modern studies have found that macrophages are widely present in the liver，fat，skeletal muscle，islets， and other tissues and organs. Macrophage M1/M2 polarization plays an important role in the occurrence and development of diabetes mellitus and its related complications by intervening in inflammatory response，improving insulin resistance，and promoting tissue repair. Most of the traditional Chinese medicines that regulate the activation and polarization of macrophages are Qi-replenishing and Yin-nourishing，heat-clearing， and detoxicating medicinal，which are consistent with the etiology and pathogenesis of diabetes and its related complications. Therefore，by summarizing the mechanisms between macrophage activation，polarization， and insulin resistance in various tissues，this paper reviewed traditional Chinese medicine and its effective components and compounds in improving diabetes mellitus and its related complications through multi-channel regulation of macrophage polarization and regulation of M1/M2 ratio，providing references for the future treatment of DM and its related complications with traditional Chinese medicine.

Objective: To investigate the effects of Zuogui Jiangtang Jieyu Formula (ZGJTJYF) on histone H3 lysine 18 lactylation (H3K18la) in the hippocampus of rats with diabetes mellitus complicated with depression (DD) and predict the regulatory genes of H3K18la. Methods: Male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into control, model, and positive drug (metformin [0.18 g/kg] and fluoxetine [1.8 mg/kg]) groups, and the three groups were treated with high, medium, and low ZGJTJYF doses (20.52, 10.26, and 5.13 g/kg, respectively), with 10 rats per group. After treatment, the forced swimming and water maze tests were performed to assess depressive-like behaviors and cognitive function. An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to measure blood insulin, glycosylated hemoglobin, lactate levels, and lactate content in the hippocampus. Western blotting was used to detect H3K18la expression in the hippocampus. Cleavage Under Targets and lagmentation(CUT&Tag) experiments targeted hippocampal H3K18la epigenetic modification regions to analyze the transcription factors bound by H3K18la. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes and Protein-Protein Interaction networks were constructed to identify key pathways and target genes regulated by H3K18la. Results: Compared with the normal group, the model group rats showed prolonged immobility time in the forced swim test, increased escape latency in the water maze experiment, decreased target quadrant distance ratio (P<0.01), increased serum lactate content, and decreased lactate content in hippocampal homogenate (P<0.01), as well as decreased H3K18la protein expression in the hippocampus (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, ZGJTJYF reduced the immobility time in the forced swim test and the escape latency in the water maze test (P<0.01), while the distance ratio in the target quadrant increased (P<0.01) in model rats. Lowered fasting blood glucose, insulin, and glycosylated hemoglobin levels (P<0.05, P<0.01) were also observed. ZGJTJYF also increased the lactate content and H3K18la protein expression in hippocampal homogenate (P<0.05, P<0.01). The DNA sequences bound by H3K18la were predominantly enriched at the transcription start sites. ZGJTJYF modulated H3K18la-associated pathways, including cell adhesion junctions, tumor growth factor-beta (TGF-β) signaling, stem cell pluripotency regulation, mitogen-activated protein kinase(MAPK) signaling pathway, and insulin resistance, leading to the identification of 12 target genes. Conclusion ZGJTJYF enhances hippocampal lactate levels and H3K18la modification in DD rats, which may regulate neural cell interactions, neurogenic stem cell function, TGF-β signaling, MAPK signaling, and insulin resistance pathways.

The theory of "linkage between spleen and small intestine" has been put forward by doctors as early as the Ming dynasty. In traditional Chinese medicine， the spleen and small intestine cooperate and work together physiologically， and they are also closely related and interact with each other pathologically. The spleen governs transportation and transformation， which involves the function of the small intestine in transforming water and grain. The small intestine， governing the receiving and transformation of substances， depends on the normal transportation of the spleen. At the same time， it provides guarantee for the spleen to transform Qi and generate blood as well as ascend lucidity and descend turbidity. The dysfunction of spleen in transportation is closely related to the dysfunction of small intestine. The stability of intestinal microecology necessitates the normal functioning of the spleen. When the original balance of intestinal flora is disturbed， the spleen functioning will be affected. This study explored the pathogenesis and treatment of diabetes based on the physiological functions of the spleen and small intestine and the Western medicine targets of "nutrients-intestinal flora". According to modern medicine， nutrients are essential to maintain the normal physiological activities of the human body. Proper intake of nutrients can affect the absorption and metabolism of the human body for nutrients by regulating the composition and function of intestinal flora， so as to prevent the occurrence of diabetes. The imbalance of intestinal flora which harbors rich microorganisms may lead to the disturbance of energy metabolism and the dysfunction of the immune system， eventually leading to diabetes. As a metabolic disease， diabetes is closely related to the imbalance of intestinal flora and nutrient intake. Based on the theory of "linkage between spleen and small intestine"， this paper discusses the relationship between spleen and small intestine. Furthermore， this paper discusses the correlation between "spleen-small intestine" and "nutrients-intestinal flora" by reviewing the latest progress in modern medicine and clinical research， aiming to provide a theoretical basis and new ideas for the clinical prevention and treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Background: and Purpose Non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C), which represents the total cholesterol content of all pro-atherogenic lipoproteins, has recently been included as a new target for lipid-lowering therapy in high-risk atherosclerotic patients in multiple guidelines. Herein, we aimed to explore the relationship between non-HDL-C level and the efficacy and safety of ticagrelor-aspirin versus clopidogrel-aspirin in preventing stroke recurrence. Methods: This study comprised a post hoc analysis of the CHANCE-2 (Ticagrelor or Clopidogrel in High-Risk Patients with Acute Nondisabling Cerebrovascular Events II) trial, from which 5,901 patients with complete data on non-HDL-C were included and categorized by median non-HDL-C levels, using a cutoff of 3.5 mmol/L. The primary efficacy and safety outcomes were recurrent stroke and severe or moderate bleeding within 90 days. Results: Ticagrelor-aspirin significantly reduced the risk of recurrent stroke in patients with low non-HDL-C (71 [4.8%] vs. 119 [7.7%]; adjusted hazard ratio [HR] 0.54; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.40–0.74), but not in those with high non-HDL-C (107 [7.3%] vs. 108 [7.6%]; adjusted HR, 0.88; 95% CI, 0.67–1.16), compared with clopidogrel-aspirin (P for interaction=0.010). When analyzed as a continuous variable, the benefit of ticagrelor-aspirin for recurrent stroke decreased as non-HDL-C levels increased. No significant differences in the treatment assignments across the non-HDL-C groups were observed in terms of the rate of severe or moderate bleeding (5 [0.3%] vs. 8 [0.5%] in the low non-HDL-C group; 4 [0.3%] vs. 2 [0.1%] in the high non-HDL-C group; P for interaction=0.425). Conclusion CHANCE-2 participants with low non-HDL-C levels received more clinical benefit from ticagrelor-aspirin versus clopidogrel-aspirin compared to those with high non-HDL-C, following minor ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack.

OBJECTIVE To analyze the implementation experience of France’s additional list system for innovative medical products， and to provide reference for China to support medical institutions to use innovative medical products. METHODS Taking France as a case study， using policy analysis method， this paper systematically studied the practice of establishing additional list system to compensate for innovative medical products in France under diagnosis-related group （DRG） payment， including the establishment background， selection procedure and implementation effect. The suggestions were provided on the medical insurance payment methods for innovative medical products in China. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS The additional list system established a compensation and payment system for innovative medical products with significant clinical efficacy but high treatment cost， covering four stages： application， evaluation， payment and adjustment， which effectively reduced the drug burden on medical institutions， promoted the use of innovative pharmaceutical products by medical institutions， and stimulated the innovation drive of the pharmaceutical industry， but at the same time brought payment pressure to the medical insurance fund. With the rapid spread of our DRG/diagnosis-intervention packet payment reform of China， some regions have also explored the establishment of a compensation and payment mechanism for innovative medical products， but there are still imperfections. We can refer to the implementation experience of the French additional list system and establish an effective compensation and payment system for innovative medical products starting from the establishment of selection criteria， the selection of compensation mode and the implementation of dynamic adjustment.

Background: and Purpose Despite administration of evidence-based therapies, residual risk of stroke recurrence persists. This study aimed to evaluate the residual risk of recurrent stroke in acute ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) with adherence to guideline-based secondary stroke prevention and identify the risk factors of the residual risk. Methods: Patients with acute ischemic stroke or TIA within 7 hours were enrolled from 169 hospitals in Third China National Stroke Registry (CNSR-III) in China. Adherence to guideline-based secondary stroke prevention was defined as persistently receiving all of the five secondary prevention medications (antithrombotic, antidiabetic and antihypertensive agents, statin and anticoagulants) during hospitalization, at discharge, at 3, 6, and 12 months if eligible. The primary outcome was a new stroke at 12 months. Results: Among 9,022 included patients (median age 63.0 years and 31.7% female), 3,146 (34.9%) were identified as adherence to guideline-based secondary prevention. Of all, 864 (9.6%) patients had recurrent stroke at 12 months, and the residual risk in patients with adherence to guidelinebased secondary prevention was 8.3%. Compared with those without adherence, patients with adherence to guideline-based secondary prevention had lower rate of recurrent stroke (hazard ratio, 0.85; 95% confidence interval, 0.74 to 0.99; P=0.04) at 12 months. Female, history of stroke, interleukin-6 ≥5.63 ng/L, and relevant intracranial artery stenosis were independent risk factors of the residual risk. Conclusions There was still a substantial residual risk of 12-month recurrent stroke even in patients with persistent adherence to guideline-based secondary stroke prevention. Future research should focus on efforts to reduce the residual risk.

Cirrhosis of the liver results in portal hypertension, which is a tortuous and dilated portal vein. The hemorrhage of digestive tract caused by dilation and rupture of lower esophagus and gastric fundus is the main cause of death in patients with cirrhosis. The treatment methods of digestive tract hemorrhage in liver cirrhosis include drug therapy, endoscopic hemostasis, interventional therapy to control hemorrhage and surgical hemostasis. These methods are mainly used to control hemorrhage and solve hypersplenism, but cannot solve the fundamental problem of cirrhosis. Stem cells can repair damaged liver cells and help restore liver function. Under the guidance of B-ultrasound, precise intrahepatic portal vein puncture and infusion of autologous bone marrow nucleated cells can improve cirrhosis through autologous bone marrow stem cells. Little damage to patients, little risk. Cell therapy combined with conventional therapy can treat both the symptoms and the root causes of digestive tract hemorrhage in cirrhosis.

Objective To investigate somatostatin effect of on curative effect of laparoscopic operation in treatment of adhesive intestinal obstruction.Methods 80 patients with adhesive intestinal obstruction from January 2013 to May 2014, were randomly divided into control group and observation group, 40 cases in each group; the control group: treated with laparoscopic operation at the same time, from the patients admitted to the hospital after the foundation treatment; the observation group: somatostatin injection based on the treatment in control group.To observe the therapeutic effect of two groups, gastrointestinal decompression drainage, anal exhaust time, hospitalization time, the rate of conversion to surgical operation, postoperative analgesia, postoperative complications, follow-up treatment within 1 years after the recurrence rate, and application of functional EORTC life quality evaluation of the quality of life of two groups of patients with postoperative score.Results After treatment, the total effective rate of control group was 85%, the total efficiency of observation group was 92.50%, but the difference was not statistically significant (χ2 =2.635).After treatment, patients in observation group,the amount of gastrointestinal decompression, intestinal peristalsis recovery time, anal exhaust time, hospitalization time surgical operation and transfer rate were significantly lower than control group (P<0.01).By measuring the quality of life of EORTC scores between two groups, the observation group was significantly higher than the control group, there was significant difference ( P <0.01 ) .The success rate of the operation of the two groups was 100%, the observation group recurrence after 1 years of follow-up, the number of analgesic were significantly lower than the control group, there were significant differences.Complications in the observation group compared with the control group, the difference was not statistically significant (χ2 =2.813).Conclusion Laparoscopic operation in treatment of adhesive intestinal obstruction, given somatostatin can improve the clinical curative effect, shorten the recovery time of patients, reduce the recurrence rate, improve the survival of treatment.

Objective To investigate the effect of Intedeukin-18 (IL-18) on Th1/Th2 balance and its antitumor mechanism in C57BL/6 mice Lewis lung cancer model. Methods 24 C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into three equal groups: group A(IL-18 injec-tion group, n = 8), group B (Lewis lung cancer model, n = 8) and group C (normal control group, n = 8). The Lewis lung cancer cells were cultured and implanted subcutaneously into the group A and group B. IL-18 and NS were given to group A and B respectively by intrap-eritoneal injection on the 7th day (once every day, 7 times altogether), but group C was not given any treatment. Enzyme-linked immunosor-bent assay (ELISA) was used to detect the Th1/Th2 cytokines. Health status in all the animals was evaluated; the volume and weight ofsubcutaneous tumors were measured. Results The concentration of IFN-γ in group A and C were significantly higher than those in group B (P <0.05), and the concentration of IL-4 in group A and C were significantly lower than those in group B (P<0.05), but there was no significant difference between group A and C (P>0.05). The tumor growth inhibitory rate was 75%. Conclusion IL-18 can effectively induced IFN-γ and inhibit IL-4 production, regulate Th1/Th2 balance in the C57BL/6 mice Lewis lung cancer model, and elicit the antitu-mor immunity of the host, which could obviously inhibit the growth of tumor cells and decelerate the proliferation of tumor cells.
