Objective To establish a scientific and feasible Chinese medicine(CM)comprehensive control and prevention program for elderly hypertension with early renal damage(EH-ERD)patients through high-level evidence-based medicine(EBM)evidence.Methods On the basis of literature research and evidence evaluation,we construct a database of specific prescriptions and implementation methods of CM comprehensive control and prevention program with EH-ERD.40 senior titled-experts were consulted in two rounds of questionnaires based on Delphi methods.We selected,evaluated,and revised specific CM comprehensive control and prevention program of EH-ERD through the analysis of multiple factors,such as expert's positive activity coefficient,authority coefficient,degree of opinion concentration and degree of coordination.Results In view of the CM appropriate intervention techniques with high-grade evidence(level Ⅰ and Ⅱ)and recommendation(level A and B),we have developed the CM comprehensive control and prevention plan items for EH-ERD.The activity coefficients in two-round consultation were 92.5%and 97.14%respectively,the overall authority coefficient(Cr)was exceeded 0.70,and the coordination coefficient was less than 0.25.With a sound activity coefficient,a relatively high Cr and a rather unified degree of opinion concentration and coordination,the CM comprehensive control and prevention program for EH-ERD was established,which included six primary indicators(CM compound preparation,acupuncture and massage,CM health education,medicinal diet therapy,health care exercise and foot bath)and seventeen secondary indicators.Conclusion The CM comprehensive control and prevention program for EH-ERD established in this study can provide a basis for the further formation of expert consensus or guidelines.Moreover,it can supply the strategy and paradigm for standardization of CM-based health management of EH-ERD.

By systematically combing ancient and modern literature， this paper examined Tribuli Fructus and Astragali Complanati Semen（ACS） used in the famous classical formulas from the aspects of name， origin， production area， harvesting and processing， clinical efficacy， so as to provide a basis for the development of famous classical formulas containing such medicinal materials. The results showed that the names of Tribuli Fructus in the past dynasties were mostly derived from its morphology， and there were nicknames such as Baijili， Cijili and Dujili. The name of ACS in the past dynasties were mostly originated from its production areas， and there were nicknames such as Baijili， Shayuan Jili and Tongjili. Because both of them had the name of Baijili， confusion began to appear in the Song dynasty. In ancient and modern times， the main origin of Tribuli Fructus were Tribulus terrestris， and ancient literature recorded the genuine producing areas of Tribuli Fructus was Dali in Shaanxi and Tianshui in Gansu， but today it is mainly cultivated in Anhui and Shandong. The fruit is the medicinal part， harvested in autumn throughout history. There is no description of the quality of Tribuli Fructus in ancient times， and the plump， firm texture， grayish-white color is the best in modern times. Traditional processing methods for Tribuli Fructus included stir-frying and wine processing， while modern commonly used is purified， fried and salt-processed. The ancient records of Tribuli Fructus were spicy， bitter， and warm in nature， with modern research adding that it is slightly toxic. The main effects of ancient and modern times include treating wind disorders， improving vision， promoting muscle growth， and treating vitiligo. The mainstream base of ACS used throughout history is Astragalus complanatus. Ancient texts indicated ACS primarily originated from Shaanxi province. Today， the finest varieties come from Tongguan and Dali in Shaanxi. The medicinal part is the seed， traditionally harvested in autumn. Modern harvesting occurs in late autumn or early winter， followed by sun-drying. Ancient texts valued seeds with a fragrant aroma as superior， while modern standards prioritize plump， uniform and free of impurities. Traditional processing methods for ACS included frying until blackened and wine-frying， while modern practice commonly employs purification methods. In terms of medicinal properties， the ancient and modern records are sweet and warm in nature. Due to originally classified under Tribuli Fructus， its effects were thus regarded as equivalent to those of Tribuli Fructus， serving as the medicine for treating wind disorders， additional functions included tonifying the kidneys and treating vitiligo. The present record of its efficacy is to tonify the kidney and promote Yang， solidify sperm and reduce urine， nourish the liver and brighten the eye， etc. Based on the textual research results， it is suggested that when developing the famous classical formulas of Tribuli Fructus medicinal materials， we should pay attention to the specific reference object of Baijili， T. terrestris and A. complanatus should be identified and selected， and the processing method should be in accordance with the requirements of the formulas.

Acute kidney injury (AKI), a life-threatening clinical syndrome, lacks effective therapeutic interventions beyond supportive care such as hemodialysis and kidney transplantation. Pathologically, excessive reactive oxygen species -mediated oxidative stress is recognized as a pivotal contributor to AKI progression, positioning reactive oxygen species scavenging as a critical therapeutic target. Emerging nanozymes, nanomaterials with enzyme-mimetic activities, have shown promise in addressing AKI by targeting renal oxidative stress. The article mainly reviewed the content of classification of nanozymes, research findings on nanozymes in treating AKI along with discussions on their mechanisms of action, as well as the current challenges and existing issues in nanozymes-based AKI therapy, to provide enhanced research perspectives for advancing nanozyme applications in the prevention and treatment of AKI.

Objective To explore the interaction between estrogen-related receptor β(ERRB)gene rs12437118 polymorphism and serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D[25(OH)D]level on tuberculosis multidrug resistance in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis.Methods A total of 104 multidrug resistant tuberculosis(MDR-TB)patients admitted to People's Hospital of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Re-gion from January 2018 to December 2023 were selected as the MDR-resistant group,and 102 non-MDR-resistant tuberculosis pa-tients treated of People's Hospital in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region during the same period were selected as the control group.The gene frequency was compared between the two groups.Multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of MDR.Multiple linear regression was used to analyze the association of ERRB gene rs12437118 polymorphism with mul-tidrug resistance and 25(OH)D.The interaction between ERRB gene rs12437118 genotype and 25(OH)D on multidrug resistance was analyzed by unconditional Logistic regression model.Results The frequencies of GG(50.96%)and AA(13.46%)genes in MDR group were significantly higher than those in control group(37.25%,9.80%),and the difference was statistically significant(χ2=6.296,P<0.05).There was no significant difference in the frequencies of G and A alleles between the two groups(χ2=1.163,P>0.05).Mul-tivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that age,place of residence,treatment history,smoking history,empty number,regular medication,occupation,rs12437118 G allele and 25(OH)D were all independent influencing factors on multidrug resistance(Wald χ2=0.873～3.152,all P<0.05).Multiple linear regression analysis showed that rs12437118 was significantly associated with MDR risk in allele model,additive model,dominant model and recessive model(all P<0.05).The results of interaction analysis showed that the effects of rs12437118 genotype G allele and 25(OH)D on multidrug resistance were interactive in additive and multiplica-tive models.Conclusion The effects of rs12437118 genotype G allele of ERRB gene and 25(OH)D on multidrug resistance in pulmonary tuberculosis patients interacted in additive model and multiplicative model,and the risk of multidrug resistance is higher when both exist together.

Objective:To investigate the impact of exogenous hypoxia-inducible factor 1α(HIF-1α)on glucose metabolism-related proteins and neurological function in the hippocampal CA1 region of rats with cerebral ischemia.Methods:Adult male SD rats were randomly assigned to four groups: sham operation group(Sham group), cerebral ischemia reperfusion group(CIR group), recombinant adenovirus empty vector intervention group(Ad group), and recombinant adenovirus HIF-1α gene intervention group(AdHIF-1α group), each consisting of 12 rats.A rat model of cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury was induced using the modified suture method, and neurological deficits were assessed using the Longa method.In line with previous protocols, exogenous Ad and AdHIF-1α were introduced into the lateral ventricle of rats in the Ad and AdHIF-1α groups, respectively.After 28 days of observation, the animals were euthanized.Hippocampal tissue was collected for analysis, including Hematoxylin-eosin(HE)staining, terminal transferase labeling in situ(TUNEL)staining, and Nissl staining to evaluate pathological changes and neuronal survival in the hippocampal CA1 region.Western blot was performed to assess the expression levels of HIF-1α, glucose transporter 1(GLUT1), glucose transporter 3(GLUT3), and 6-phosphofructose-2-kinase/fructose-2, 6-bisphosphatase 3(PFKFB3)proteins in the hippocampal tissue.Results:Following 28 days of recombinant adenovirus HIF-1α gene therapy, rats in the AdHIF-1α group exhibited reduced neurological deficits compared to the CIR group( P<0.05).Histopathological analysis of nerve cells in the CA1 region of the hippocampus showed significant improvement, with an increase in the number of surviving nerve cells and a decrease in apoptotic cells( P<0.01).Western blot results indicated an upregulation of HIF-1α expression in the hippocampus of the CIR group compared to the Sham group, along with increased levels of glucose metabolism-related proteins(GLUT1, GLUT3, and PFKFB3)(all P<0.05).Furthermore, elevating HIF-1α expression through AdHIF-1α led to a further increase in the expression of glucose transporters(GLUT1, GLUT3, and PFKFB3)in the AdHIF-1α group, demonstrating statistically significant differences compared to the CIR group(all P<0.05).Notably, there were no statistically significant variances in the aforementioned parameters between the Ad group and the CIR group(all P>0.05). Conclusions:The AdHIF-1α gene has the potential to enhance neurological function, promote nerve cell survival, and decrease nerve cell apoptosis.This effect is likely achieved by increasing HIF-1α expression in the hippocampus, subsequently up-regulating GLUT1, GLUT3 and PFKFB3 expression, and ultimately improving glucose metabolism supply.Overall, this gene shows promise in protecting the brain.

Objective:To summarize the clinical characteristics in of different antibody subtypes in of patients with antisynthetase syndrome (ASS) complicated with interstitial lung disease (ILD).Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 132 ASS-ILD patients at the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University (Jiangsu Provincial People′s Hospital), encompassing a period from December 2019 to June 2023. The data included were basic demographic information, clinical features, laboratory test results, chest computed tomography (CT) scans, and pulmonary lung function tests. Patients were categorized into distinct subtypes based on anti-aminoacyl tRNA synthetase (ARS) antibodies. Statistical analysis was performed using a t-test for comparing means between two samples with equal variance, the Mann-Whitney U test for non-normally distributed continuous data, and the chi-square ( χ2) test or Fisher′s exact test for categorical variables. Results:The most prevalent subtype of anti-synthetase antibody was anti-histidine antibody (Jo-1), accounting for 60 of 132 cases (45.5%), followed by anti-glycine-based tRNA synthetase antibody (EJ) (33/132, 2 5.0%), anti-tRNA synthase antibody (PL-7) (26/132, 19.7%), anti-alanine-based tRNA synthetase antibody (PL-12) (7.6%, 10/132), anti-isoleucine-tRNA synthase antibody (OJ) (3/132, 2.2%). The presence of anti-Ro-52 antibodies was significantly associated with rapidly progressive ILD. In patients with different subtypes of ASS-ILD, the presence of anti-Jo-1 antibodies is was positive in 28 cases (46.7%), and the combination of infection is was more common than in other groups ( χ2=0.15, P=0.047). The group with positive anti-EJ antibodies has had a significant decline in lung function, and cough is was more common in 31 cases (93.9%) than in other groups ( P<0.05); the group with positive anti-PL-12 antibodies has had a more pronounced decline in lung function than other groups ( P<0.05), and fever (7 cases, 70.0%) wais more common than in other groups ( χ2=0.02, P=0.022). Conclusion:Anti-Jo-1, Anti-PL-7, and Anti-PL-12 antibodies were are observed more frequently in patients with ILD. Furthermore, a significant deterioration in lung function was is observed in patients testing positive for anti-PL-12 and anti-EJ antibodies.
