Port-wine stains (PWS) are one of the common congenital vascular malformations in dermatology, clinically manifesting as pink or red irregular patches occurring on the skin or mucosa at birth or shortly thereafter, which are often not elevated above the skin surface. In a minority of patients, vascular malformations not only affect the skin, but also involve the eyes, brain, limbs and viscera. These patients are at risk for glaucoma, epilepsy, limb pain, and other clinical conditions. In general, these conditions are referred to as PWS-associated syndromes. These syndromes are rare diseases, can affect multiple systems and exhibit a variety of clinical manifestations, which pose challenges in their diagnosis and treatment. This review focuses on the clinical manifestations, diagnoses, pathogenesis and treatment of PWS-associated syndromes.

Port-wine stains (PWS) are vascular malformations characterized by dilated capillaries and postcapillary venules in the skin. Clinically, they mainly manifest as pink or red irregular patches, most of which may become thickened, darkened in color, or even develop into nodules over age, making treatment more challenging. The mechanisms underlying the development and progression of PWS are not very clear, and may be related to heredity, gene mutations, abnormal ratios of blood vessels to nerves, etc. This review summarizes research progress in the mechanisms underlying the development and progression of PWS, so as to provide a theoretical basis for their treatment.

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is one of the most common complications of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Cell death caused by iron-lipid disorder is a new mode of regulating programmed cell death, which is characterized by lipid peroxidation induced by the accumulation of lipid reactive oxygen species and excessive accumulation of iron ions induced by iron metabolism disorders. Among them, iron homeostasis disorder and metabolic pathway disorder are the main causes of iron-lipid disorder, which play an important role in a variety of pathological processes related to cell death. Because the liver is an important organ for iron storage and lipid metabolism, iron-lipid disorder is an ideal target for liver disease, and inhibition of iron-lipid disorder may become a new strategy for the treatment of NAFLD. However, the pathogenic relationship and mechanism between NAFLD and iron-lipid disorder have not been fully elucidated. Based on the complex molecular regulation mechanism of iron-lipid disorder, by expounding the role of iron-lipid disorder in NAFLD and its related mechanism, this paper summarizes the research status of traditional Chinese medicine on the target treatment of NAFLD in recent years, so as to provide a new perspective and point out a new direction for the treatment of NAFLD in the future.

Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disease characterized by chronic hyperglycemia caused by absolute or relative insufficiency of insulin secretion. As the disease progresses, patients begin to suffer from diabetic nephropathy, diabetic cardiomyopathy, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease or other complications, which increase the burden on the patients. Moreover, the number of patients is increasing, which brings a heavy burden to the society. Ferroptosis is a new type of programmed cell death which has attracted wide attention in recent years. It refers to the cell death caused by the excessive accumulation of lipid peroxide under the overload of iron ions. Studies have discovered that ferroptosis exists in diabetes mellitus and its complications. Inhibiting ferroptosis can greatly slow down the occurrence and progression of diabetes mellitus and its complications. Chinese medicine, the unique medical treasure in China, acts in a multi-pathway, multi-target manner and is praised for the cheap price, low toxicity, and mild side effects. It has been widely used in the treatment of diabetes mellitus and its complications and has demonstrated definite therapeutic effects, bringing the good news for the majority of patients. The regulation of ferroptosis by Chinese medicine may be a new direction for the treatment of diabetes mellitus and its complications in the future. This paper briefly describes the mechanism of ferroptosis, explores the relationship of ferroptosis with diabetes mellitus and its complications, summarizes the research status of Chinese medicine interventions, and puts forward suggestions, aiming to provide a reference for further research on the treatment of diabetes mellitus and its complications with Chinese medicine.

OBJECTIVE
To investigate whether the microRNA-222(miRNA-222) carried by plasma exosomes can serve as an early warning marker for cognitive impairment induced by shRNA-PCSK9.
METHODS
The high-fat diet(HFD) was used to prepare a hypercholesterolemic mouse model group. The model group mice were divided into HFD-shRNA control group and HFD-shRNA-PCSK9 group. The shRNA-PCSK9 was constructed, injected intravenously into the body, and the expression of PCSK9 mRNA was detected by real-time PCR(RT-PCR). Tau protein and phosphorylation in brain tissue were observed by immunohistochemistry (IHC). Western blotting was used to detect Tau protein and P-Tau protein. Serum amyloid Aβ1-42Ab levels were determined by ELISA. The kits extracted plasma exosomes step by step, identify the exosome morphology by negative staining electron microscopy, and determined the size of exosomes by NTA technology. RT-PCR technique was used to detect the expression level of miRNA-222 carried in plasma exosomes.
RESULTS
The model mouse were prepared by feeding HFD for 13 weeks, whose total cholesterol(TC) and low-density lipoprotein(LDL-C) contents in serum were significantly increased. At the same time, the expression of PCSK9 mRNA in the brain tissue of model group was significantly increased. After shRNA-PCSK9 lentivirus interference, PCSK9 mRNA expression was inhibited, and IHC observed that shRNA-PCSK9 induced abnormal expression and hyperphosphorylation of Tau protein in brain tissue, indicating that the pathological changes of neurofibrillary tangles had occurred. However, at this time, serum Aβ1-42Ab had not been significantly increased, and it had not yet been of significance for the diagnosis of cognitive impairment. The miRNA in plasma exosomes was extracted, and RT-PCR results showed that the expression of miRNA-222 carried in the exosomes of the HFD-shRNA-PCSK9 group was significantly lower than that of the HFD-shRNA control group.
CONCLUSION
Plasma exosomes carried miRNA-222 provides an early warning marker for shRNA-PCSK9- induced cognitive impairment.

Objective:
To explore the changes in ribosomal DNA copy number in peripheral blood among patients with pneumoconiosis and its influencing factors, so as to provide insights into prevention and treatment of pneumoconiosis.
Methods:
Eighty-eight patients with pneumoconiosis who visited a designated hospital and 71 community residents with no history of pneumoconiosis or dust exposure were selected as the pneumoconiosis group and control group, and age, smoking history, drinking history and cumulative years of exposure to dust were collected through questionnaire surveys. The copy number of 45S rDNA and 5S rDNA was detected using real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR, and the differences between the two groups were compared. Factors affecting the copy number of 45S rDNA and 5S rDNA were identified by a multiple linear regression model.
Results:
The pneumoconiosis group had a median age of 56.00 (interquartile range, 15.25) and a mean cumulative dust exposure duration of (12.40±8.08) years, with 56.82% smoking and 62.50% drinking. The control group had a median age of 64.00 (interquartile range, 37.00) years, with 32.39% smoking and 26.76% drinking. The median copy number of 45S rDNA in the pneumoconiosis group was 1.29 (interquartile range, 0.59), which was lower than 2.10 (interquartile range, 1.88) in the control group; the median copy number of 5S rDNA in the pneumoconiosis group was 5.33 (interquartile range, 0.85), which was higher than 4.66 (1.34) in the control group (both P<0.05). Multiple linear regression analysis identified age (β=-0.034) and pneumoconiosis (β=-1.595) as factors affecting 45S rDNA copy number, age (β=-0.013) as a factor affecting 5S rDNA copy number, and age (β=0.018) as a factor affecting 5S rDNA copy number in the pneumoconiosis group (all P<0.05).
Conclusions
Compared with community residents with no history of pneumoconiosis or dust exposure, the copy number of 45S rDNA in peripheral blood among patients with pneumoconiosis is reduced and the copy number of 5S rDNA is increased.
