ObjectiveTo explore the academic characteristics of contemporary renowned Chinese medicine masters in treating diabetic kidney disease (DKD) from the perspectives of principles, methods, formulas, and medications. MethodsIn strict accordance with the Systematic Review of Text and Opinion (SrTO) process developed by the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI), an Australian evidence-based healthcare center, the databases including China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), VIP Database, Wanfang Data, and China Biomedical Literature Service System (SinoMed) were searched. Based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria, text information extraction, quality evaluation, and text information synthesis were conducted sequentially. The data were analyzed and presented in the form of text and figures. ResultsA total of 215 articles related to 43 contemporary renowned experts in the fields of Chinese medicine nephrology and endocrinology were included. The study found that the academic thoughts of these masters in the treatment of DKD are extensive, involving multiple levels such as disease understanding, therapeutic strategies, formula application, and medication use. In terms of disease understanding, the primary pathogenesis is characterized by deficiency in the root and excess in the manifestation. It is emphasized that internal factors, such as congenital endowment deficiency, interact with external factors such as improper diet, emotional disturbances, invasion of exogenous pathogens, and delayed or inappropriate treatment, to jointly induce the disease. This further gives rise to various pathogenetic theories, including obstruction of renal collaterals by blood stasis, toxin-induced damage to renal collaterals, latent wind disturbing the kidney, and internal heat leading to mass formation. In terms of therapeutic strategies and medication use, the principal treatment method is to replenish Qi and nourish Yin. Stage-based and syndrome-differentiated treatments are advocated. Flexible use of insect-derived drugs and wind-dispelling drugs is emphasized, along with proficiency in applying classical formulas and drug pairs. Integrated internal and external treatments, as well as the combined application of multiple therapeutic approaches, are commonly employed for comprehensive management. Meanwhile, the concept of "preventive treatment of disease" is upheld, and individualized long-term management of patients is advocated. ConclusionThrough the SrTO process, the academic thoughts of contemporary renowned Chinese medicine masters in the treatment of DKD have been systematically and standardly synthesized, providing a scientific and standardized basis for future theoretical exploration.

Asthma and cough variant asthma (CVA) are both chronic heterogeneous diseases characterized by airway microenvironment homeostasis disruption as their core pathological basis. In recent years, micro ribonucleic acid (miRNA), as core post-transcriptional regulators, have been shown to finely modulate multiple critical signaling pathways, including Janus kinase/signal transducer and activator of transcription (JAK/STAT), nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB), transforming growth factor-β/Smad (TGF-β/Smad), and phosphoinositide 3-kinase/protein kinase B (PI3K/Akt), as well as various pathological processes such as airway epithelial barrier restoration, type 1 helper T cell(Th1)/Th2 immune balance, M1/M2 macrophage polarization, airway smooth muscle cell function, and airway hyperresponsiveness. miRNAs play a pivotal role in maintaining and disrupting airway microenvironment homeostasis. Based on recent Chinese and international literature, a logical framework centered on "airway microenvironment homeostasis disruption, miRNA regulation, and microenvironment restoration" was constructed. From the perspective of the airway microenvironment, the therapeutic roles of miRNA in asthma and CVA were systematically summarized, and the cascade regulatory mechanisms of miRNA throughout the entire disease course were elucidated. The hub miRNA was identified, and research progress on traditional Chinese medicine intervention strategies was explored. Furthermore, current clinical studies on RNA therapeutics and traditional Chinese medicine in achieving multi-target and multi-pathway integrated treatment by modulating miRNA were analyzed. The value of miRNA as biomarkers for diagnosis, phenotyping, and prognosis assessment, as well as the potential and application prospects of miRNA mimics and antagonists in precision therapy, were summarized, with the ultimate goal of advancing precision therapy for asthma and CVA.

ObjectiveTo investigate the molecular mechanisms by which Acan-Gal-1 regulates macrophage immune phenotypes and Annexin A2/S100A10 membrane translocation in Angiostrongylus cantonensis. MethodsImmunofluorescence assay (IFA) was performed to determine the subcellular localization of Annexin A2 and S100A10 in macrophages. Flow cytometry and ELISA were used to assess functional changes in macrophage. siRNA interference of Annexin A2 was used to detect the effect of Acan-Gal-1 on various indicators. The expression levels of related genes and proteins were analyzed by Western blot, qRT-PCR, and ELISA methods. Bioinformatics analyses were conducted to characterize the structural features of Acan-Gal-1, and sequence alignment and molecular interaction prediction were performed to explore its potential interaction with Annexin A2. ResultsThis study found that Acan-Gal-1 can reverse LPS-induced promotion of macrophage migration and phagocytic function; it significantly upregulated M2-type markers in macrophages (Arg-1, IL-10, TGF-β) while inhibiting the expression of M1-type markers (iNOS, IL-6, IL-1β) induced by LPS. Acan-Gal-1 reduced the protein levels of Annexin A2 in macrophages under an immunologically activated state; after interfering with Annexin A2 expression, Acan-Gal-1 not only fails to induce macrophages to transition to an immunologically inhibitory phenotype but also fails to inhibit LPS-induced transition of macrophages to an immunologically activated phenotype. Although Acan-Gal-1 did not affect the expression of Annexin A2 or its chaperone protein S100A10 in macrophages, it markedly promoted their translocation to the plasma membrane. ConclusionsAcan-Gal-1 facilitates the enrichment of the Annexin A2/S100A10 complex at the macrophage membrane, thereby exerting immunomodulatory effects on macrophage polarization.

Objective:To investigate the effect and mechanism of Jiedu Xiaoying Patch in rats with Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT).Methods:Totally 32 rats were randomly divided into a blank group of 8 rats and a model group of 24 rats. The HT rat model was prepared by freely drinking 0.064% sodium iodide solution in the modeling module. 24 successfully modeled rats were randomly divided into model group, selenium yeast group, and patch group, with 8 rats in each group. Starting from the 9th week, the application group applied Jiedu Xiaoying Patch to the surface projection area of the thyroid gland in the neck of rats for 6 hours, once a day, for a total of 6 weeks; the selenium yeast group was orally administered with 21 μg/ml selenium yeast solution at a dose of 0.5 ml/100 g, while the blank group, model group, and patch group were orally administered with equal volumes of physiological saline solution once a day for a total of 6 weeks. The levels of TGAb,TPOAb, Sema 5A, and IL-17A in rat serum were detected by ELISA. The changes of thyroid tissue was observed with HE staining. The relative expression levels of plexin-A1 and plexin-B3 were determined through RT-PCR.Results:Compared with the model group, the levels of TPOAb, TGAb, Sema 5A, and IL-17A decreased ( P<0.05), and the expressions of plexin-A1 and plexin-B3 decreased in the selenium yeast group and the patch group ( P<0.05). The thyroid follicles in the model group were severely damaged, with a large number of lymphocytes infiltrating the interstices; the thyroid follicular structure of the selenium yeast group was relatively intact, and lymphocyte infiltration was reduced compared to the model group. The thyroid follicular structure of the patch group was basically intact, with a small amount of lymphocyte infiltration observed. Conclusion:Jiedu Xiaoying Patch can significantly reduce the levels of TPOAb and TGAb in HT rats. The mechanism may be related to reducing the content of Sema 5A, inhibiting the expressions of receptors plexin-A1 and plexin-B3, reducing the production of inflammatory cytokines such as IL-17A, and inhibiting immune and inflammatory responses.
