BACKGROUND:Mitochondrial dysfunction is a key mechanism underlying the pathogenesis and progression of diabetic cystopathy.Recent studies have suggested that drugs targeting mitochondrial metabolism,oxidative stress,and apoptosis pathways can inhibit bladder tissue degeneration,offering novel therapeutic directions for diabetic cystopathy.OBJECTIVE:To explore the association between mitochondrial abnormalities and diabetic cystopathy and to summarize the mechanisms of pharmacological interventions targeting mitochondrial function.METHODS:The key words are"mitochondria,diabetes,diabetic cystopathy,diabetic bladder dysfunction,detrusor,urothelium,neuron,peripheral nerves"in Chinese and English.Relevant literature was retrieved from CNKI,WanFang,PubMed,and Web of Science.Selected articles were systematically screened and analyzed.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:During the progression of diabetic cystopathy,mitochondria in detrusor muscle,urothelium,and peripheral nerve cells exhibit alterations in characterization,activity,function,and behavior.Under diabetic conditions,mitochondrial damage leads to increased reactive oxygen species production,increased cytochrome C release,reduced Bcl-2/Bax ratio,enhanced nuclear translocation of apoptosis-inducing factors,and activation of the poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase/c-Jun N-terminal kinase/mitochondrial apoptosis pathway.Mitochondria also act as damage-associated molecular patterns to regulate NLRP3,triggering inflammatory responses.Disrupted mitochondrial energy metabolism involves AMP-activated protein kinase/peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator-1α signaling axis-mediated phenotypic changes,decreased levels of respiratory chain complexes Ⅰ,Ⅱ,andⅣ,impaired oxidative phosphorylation,inhibited tricarboxylic acid cycle,and reduced mitochondrial spare respiratory capacity.Novel therapeutic agents or formulations can ameliorate diabetic cystopathy by alleviating oxidative stress,exerting anti-inflammatory effects,and modulating energy-sensing pathways to restore mitochondrial function.Although mitochondrial roles in other diabetic complications have been extensively studied,research on their involvement in diabetic cystopathy remains insufficient and warrants further exploration.

This article systematically reviews the current research status as well as diagnosis and treatment strategies of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） for gastroesophageal reflux disease （GERD）. Studies demonstrate that TCM， based on the "disease-syndrome combination" approach， exhibits multi-target advantages in alleviating symptoms of various GERD subtypes， promoting mucosal repair， regulating emotions， and facilitating the reduction of western medication. To address clinical challenges such as symptom overlap and limited therapeutic efficacy， strategies have been proposed including "treating different diseases with the same method" and integrated regulation based on viscera correlation. Future efforts should focus on elucidating the mechanisms of compound prescriptions， promoting TCM drug development under the "three-combination" evaluation framework that integrates TCM theory， human experience and clinical trial evidence， and optimizing integrated traditional and western medicine models to enhance GERD management.

Based on the theoretical framework of "grease-turbidity-heat toxin"， this paper elucidates the patholo-gical evolution pattern underlying the alternation between active and remission phases of inflammatory bowel disease （IBD）. It is proposed that the active phase of IBD represents a progressive and explosive process characterized by internal accumulation of grease turbidity， constraint transforming into heat， and exuberant heat generating toxin. During the remission phase， the pathogenic process manifests as subsidence of heat toxin， depletion of qi and yin， latent retention of residual turbidity， and a state of coexistence between deficiency of healthy qi and lingering pathogenic factors. Accordingly， a staged therapeutic strategy with dynamic intervention and targeted modulation has been established. During the active phase， treatment follows the sequential principle of unblocking， clearing， and resolving pathogenic factors. In the early stage， the therapeutic approach focuses on regulating qi movement， fortifying the spleen， and resolving turbidity， using Tongxie Essential Formula （痛泻要方） and Shenling Baizhu Powder （参苓白术散） to regulate qi and fortify spleen. In the middle stage， the strategy emphasizes clearing heat， eliminating dampness， and dispersing pathogenic accumulation through downward and outward pathways， and Gegen Qinlian Decoction （葛根芩连汤） combined with Banxia Xiexin Decoction （半夏泻心汤） is used to clear and resolve damp-heat. In the late stage， treatment aims to resolve toxin， restrain sore， cool blood， and stabilize collaterals， using Baitouweng Decoction （白头翁汤）， Shaoyao Decoction （芍药汤）， and Xijiao Dihuang Decoction （犀角地黄汤） to eliminate toxins and cool blood. During the remission phase， the principle of reinforcing， consolidating， and penetrating is adopted to restore internal balance and clear the source， using Sishen Pills （四神丸） and Sijunzi Decoction （四君子汤） to reinforce healthy qi and venting pathogens.

Based on the theory of Zi Wu Liu Zhu （子午流注， the ebb and flow of midnight and midday） and the clinical characteristics of diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome （IBS-D） that its symptoms mainly occur during chou （丑） period （01：00—03：00）， mao （卯） period （5：00—7：00）， and si （巳） period （9：00—11：00）， this paper proposes a temporal pathogenesis chain of "liver constraint during chou period， intestinal stagnation during mao period， and spleen deficiency during si period". Within this chain， liver constraint serves as the initiating factor， and intestinal stagnation manifests as the branch， while spleen deficiency constitutes the root of the disease. Accordingly， a chronotherapeutic principle of "soothing the liver， regulating the intestines， and fortifying the spleen" is proposed， establishing a corresponding time-based syndrome differentiation and treatment system. During chou period， the treatment should focus on soothing the liver to relieve constraint and calming the mind to tranquilize the spirit， thereby blocking the mechanism of liver constraint overacting on the spleen. During mao period， the focus is regulating qi to resolve dampness and harmonizing the intestine to alleviate the branch symptoms of morning abdominal pain and diarrhea. During si period， the suggested method is fortifying the spleen and supplementing qi to drain dampness and stop diarrhea， thereby restoring the pivot of spleen-stomach transportation and transformation. These methods are complemented by strategies to optimize medication compliance， thereby providing a new chronotherapeutic approach for clinical diagnosis and treatment of IBS-D.

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma （PDAC） is highly malignant and often has an extremely poor prognosis， and early postoperative liver metastasis is one of the key influencing factors for prognosis. With reference to the clinical and experimental studies in recent years， this article reviews the clinical risk factors for early liver metastasis after PDAC and systematically elaborates on major molecular events underlying early postoperative liver metastasis from various aspects of construction of the pre-metastatic niche in the liver driven by tumor-derived exosomes， the pro-metastatic microenvironment maintained by metastasis-associated macrophages and neutrophil extracellular traps， the invasive phenotype and liver-tropic migration of tumor cells， intrahepatic immunometabolic adaptation， and fibrotic remodeling， in order to provide a theoretical basis for perioperative risk stratification and the development of intervention strategies.

OBJECTIVE To optimize the extraction process of flavonoids from Potentilla discolor .METHODS Deep eutectic solvents （DESs） were used as the extraction solvent to prepare test sample solutions. The contents of rutin， quercitrin， and kaempferol were determined by ultra-performance liquid chromatography. The analytic hierarchy process combined with the criteria importance through intercriteria correlation weighting method was employed to assign comprehensive weights to the contents of the three flavonoids， and calculate the comprehensive score. The optimal DESs were screened based on the comprehensive score.Mean while， using the comprehensive score as the response variable and the liquid-to-solid ratio， ultrasonic time， and urltrasonic temperature as the influencing factors， the extraction technology of flavonoids from P.discolor was optimized by Box-Behnken response surface methodology and subsequently validated.RESULTS The comprehensive weight coefficients of rutin， quercitrin， and kaempferol were 0.646 7， 0.207 5， and 0.145 8， respectively. The optimal DESs were choline chloride-lactic acid （molar ratio 1∶4） with a water content of 40%. The optimal extraction conditions were determined as follows： liquid-to-solid ratio of 25∶1， ultrasonic time of 40 min， and ultrasonic temperature of 50 ℃. The validation results showed that the average comprehensive score of three batches of samples was 99.28， with an RSD of 0.54% （ n ＝3）.CONCLUSIONS The optimal extraction technology of flavonoids from P. discolor based on DESs obtained in this study was stable and feasible.
