Retinal microcirculatory disorder is a key factor in the occurrence and development of diabetic retinopathy （DR）， and also an important link in the prevention and treatment of DR. The theory of "Gaozhuo" holds that the microcirculatory disorder in DR is based on the deficiency of spleen Qi and is characterized by the obstruction caused by "Gaozhuo" and blood stasis. The deficiency of spleen Qi is an essential precondition for the endogenous formation and accumulation of Gaozhuo， while Gaozhuo invasion is the direct cause of microcirculatory disorders in DR. The deficiency of spleen Qi and the endogenous formation of Gaozhuo mean the process in which glucose metabolism dysfunction induces an excessive production of inflammatory factors and lipid metabolites. The obstruction caused by "Gaozhuo" and blood stasis is the direct pathogenesis of microcirculatory disorders in DR， encompassing two stages： Gaozhuo obstruction and turbidity and stasis stagnation. Gaozhuo obstruction and turbidity and stasis stagnation represent the process in which inflammatory factors and lipid metabolites damage the retinal microcirculation and induce thrombosis， thus mediating microcirculatory disorders. Turbidity and stasis stagnation and blood extravasation outside the vessels reveal the progression to microvascular rupture and hemorrhage resulting from the microcirculatory disorders. According to the pathogenesis evolution of the theory of "Gaozhuo"， microcirculatory disorders in DR can be divided into deficiency of spleen Qi with Gaozhuo obstruction， deficiency of spleen Qi with turbidity and stasis stagnation， and turbidity and stasis stagnation with blood extravasation outside the vessels. Clinically， treatment principles should focus on strengthening the spleen and benefiting Qi， resolving turbidity， and dispersing stasis. Different syndrome patterns should be addressed with tailored therapies， such as enhancing the spleen and benefiting Qi while regulating Qi and reducing turbidity， strengthening the spleen and benefiting Qi while resolving turbidity and dispelling stasis， and strengthening the spleen and resolving turbidity while removing stasis and stopping bleeding.

ObjectiveTo investigate the ameliorative effects and related mechanisms of the Zuogui Jiangtang Shuxin prescription （ZJSP） on glucose and lipid metabolism disorders in MKR mice with diabetic cardiomyopathy （DCM）， with a focus on elucidating its regulatory role on the adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase （AMPK）/forkhead box protein O1 （FoxO1）/cluster of differentiation 36 （CD36） signaling pathway and lipid deposition. MethodsFifty 8-week-old male MKR mice were fed a high-fat diet for four weeks and then intraperitoneally injected with streptozotocin （STZ） while maintaining a high-fat diet to establish a DCM model. The mice were randomly divided into the model group， the low-dose（14.43 g·kg^-1）and high-dose（28.86 g·kg^-1） ZJSP groups， and the metformin group （0.25 g·kg^-1）， with age-matched FVB mice as a normal control group. Each group received intragastric administration of normal saline or corresponding concentrations of ZJSP at equal volumes. After four weeks， fasting blood glucose （FBG） and cardiac function were measured. Blood was collected from the eyeballs under anesthesia to detect fasting insulin （FINS） and blood lipid levels. Myocardial tissue morphology was observed by hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining， and lipid deposition in the heart was assessed using oil red O staining. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR） was used to measure the mRNA expression levels of AMPK， FoxO1， and CD36 in myocardial tissues. Western blot was employed to detect the protein expression levels of AMPK， p-AMPK， FoxO1， p-FoxO1， and CD36. ResultsCompared with the control group， the model group showed significantly increased levels of FBG and FINS （P<0.01）， elevated levels of triglycerides （TG）， total cholesterol （TC）， and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol （LDL-C） （P<0.01）， and significantly decreased left ventricular ejection fraction （EF） and fractional shortening （FS） values （P<0.01）. HE staining revealed marked cardiomyocyte hypertrophy， disarray， and widened intercellular spaces in myocardial tissues. Oil Red O staining showed extensive red deposition areas and fine lipid droplet accumulation in the myocardial tissue. AMPK mRNA expression was decreased， while FoxO1 and CD36 mRNA expressions were significantly increased （P<0.01）. The p-AMPK/AMPK protein expression ratio in myocardial tissues was significantly reduced， while the p-FoxO1/FoxO1 protein expression ratio and CD36 protein expression levels were significantly increased （P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， all treatment groups exhibited significantly reduced FBG （P<0.01）， decreased FINS and blood lipid levels （TG， TC， LDL-C） （P<0.05， P<0.01）， improved cardiac function （P<0.05）， noticeable amelioration of myocardial histopathological morphology and lipid deposition， increased AMPK mRNA expression （P<0.01）， with significantly downregulated FoxO1 and CD36 mRNA expressions （P<0.01）， elevated p-AMPK/AMPK protein expression levels in myocardial tissue （P<0.05）， significantly decreased p-FoxO1/FoxO1 ratios （P<0.01）， and downregulated CD36 protein expression levels （P<0.05， P<0.01）. ConclusionZJSP exerts a protective effect on the heart in type 2 DCM of MKR mice， and its mechanism may be associated with the regulation of the AMPK/FoxO1/CD36 signaling pathway.

Objective To investigate the mechanism of the miR-518a-5p/histone deacetylase 6(HDAC6)axis in DNA oxidative damage in ovarian cancer(OC)SKOV3 cells.Methods Expression levels of miR-518a-5p and HDAC6 mRNA in OC tissues and in various cancer cells(A2780,SKOV3,CAOV3)were detected by qRT-PCR.SKOV3 cells were separated into Control,miR-NC,miR-518a-5p mimics,miR-518a-5p mimics+pcDNA-NC,and miR-518a-5p mimics+pc-HDAC6 groups.Cell proliferation and apoptosis were analyzed by colony-forming assay and Hoechst 33258 staining.Expression of phosphorylated histone H2AX(γ-H2AX)was detected by immunofluorescence assay and reactive oxygen species(ROS)were detected by flow cytometry.HDAC6,Bcl-2-associated X protein(Bax),and B-cell lymphoma-2(Bcl-2)protein expression were analyzed by Western blot.The regulatory relationship between miR-518a-5p and HDAC6 was analyzed by dual luciferase assay.The effect and mechanism of miR-518a-5p on oxidative DNA damage in OC cells were studied in a xenotransplantation tumor model.Results miR-518a-5p expression was decreased and HDAC6 expression was increased in OC tissues and A2780,SKOV3,and CAOV3 cells(P＜0.001).Expression levels of miR-518a-5p were lowest and expression levels of HDAC6 were highest in SKOV3 cells,and SKOV3 cells were therefore selected for subsequent experiments.miR-518a-5p expression,apoptosis rate,number of γ-H2AX-positive cells,relative ROS fluorescence intensity,and expression of Bax were all higher in the miR-518a-5p mimics group compared with the miR-NC group,while HDAC6 mRNA and protein expression,Bcl-2 expression,and colony-formation number were all lower(P＜0.001).HDAC6 mRNA and protein expression,colony-formation number,and expression of Bcl-2 were higher in the miR-518a-5p mimics+pc-HDAC6 group compared with the miR-518a-5p mimics+pcDNA-NC group,and the apoptosis rate,number of γ-H2AX-positive cells,relative ROS fluorescence intensity,and expression of Bax were all lower(P＜0.001).HDAC6 had a targeted regulatory relationship with miR-518a-5p.Overexpression of miR-518a-5p decreased tumor volume,weight,and HDAC6 protein expression in tumor tissues,and increased γ-H2AX expression in vivo(P＜0.001).Upregulation of HDAC6 expression by overexpression of miR-518a-5p increased graft tumor volume,weight,and HDAC6 protein expression and decreased γ-H2AX-positive expression(P＜0.05).Conclusions miR-518a-5p expression is reduced and HDAC6 expression is increased in OC tissues and cells.Overexpression of miR-518a-5p can induce oxidative DNA damage in SKOV3 cells by inhibiting HDAC6 expression,thereby inhibiting cell proliferation and promoting cell apoptosis.

In recent years,the prevalence of porcine infectious pleuropneumonia caused by Actinoba-cillus pleuropneumoniae(APP)has significantly increased in large-scale pig farms in China.The i-solation,identification,and biological characteristic testing of newly prevalent strains have impor-tant clinical significance.This study isolated four suspected APP strains(named XB2T-56,JMTLP-443,YD-THB-755,SYZJ-291)from lung samples of pig farms suspected of outbreaks of porcine infectious pleuropneumonia in Hubei Province.They were identified by PCR amplification,and multiplex PCR serological typing,the biological properties were tested by detecting the growth a-bility,hemolytic activity and biofilm forming ability.The drug resistance of the strains was ana-lyzed by drug sensitivity testing,and the virulence of one strain(XB2T-56)in mice and piglets was evaluated.The PCR identification result showed that all four clinical isolates were APP serotype 15 strains.These four strains grew slower than serotype 1 standard strains,had weaker hemolytic activity,but could form stronger biofilms.These strains are all less sensitive to cephalosporin,tylo-sin,sulfamethoxazole,and doxycycline,but sensitive to cefotaxime and enrofloxacin.The mice and piglet infection experiments showed that the isolated strain XB2T-56 has strong virulence.Artifi-cial intranasal infection causes acute death in piglets,with typical symptoms of pleuropneumonia in the lungs,and serotype 15 strains can be isolated from the lesion site.This study indicates that the APP serotype 15 strain has strong virulence,providing new date for the clinical epidemiological characteristics of APP.

BACKGROUND:The asymmetrical biomechanical environment of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis can lead to further wedge deformation of the vertebral body,which may affect cardiopulmonary function and compress nerves in severe cases.Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis with different degrees of scoliosis should be treated with exercise,bracing,and surgery.However,the mechanical mechanism of selecting an orthopedic approach remains unclear due to the individual variability of patients.OBJECTIVE:To investigate the biomechanical mechanism of different orthopedic modalities for the treatment of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis to provide a basis for clinical selection of treatment modalities based on the spine model of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis patients.METHODS:Based on the CT images of an adolescent idiopathic scoliosis patient,a scoliosis model(C7-L5)was reconstructed in Mimics software in three dimensions,and lateral thrust force was applied at the T8/T9 thorax and vertical distraction force was applied over the C7 vertebra with the magnitude of 20,40,60,80,100,and 120 N.The intervertebral disc stress and vertebral displacement in concave and convex sides,and Cobb angle of the spine were analyzed under two orthopedic modalities.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)With lateral thrust,there was no significant change in the C7T1-T7T8 intervertebral disc.The concave and convex stress of T7T8-L4L5 segment decreased first and then increased with the increase of lateral thrust force.The correction effect of lateral thrust on the segment near T8T9 was obvious and weakened with the extension of the segment to the cephalic and caudal ends.At 120 N of lateral thrust,the thoracic Cobb angle changed from 53.2° to 32.5° and the lumbar Cobb angle changed from 50.2° to 43.9°.(2)With the vertical distraction,the thoracic intervertebral disc stresses first decreased and then increased,and all the lumbar disc stresses decreased.The C7 displacement was the most obvious,and the correction effect gradually diminished with the segment extended to the caudal end.At a vertical distraction force of 120 N,the thoracic Cobb angle changed from 53.2° to 39.4° and the lumbar Cobb angle changed from 50.2° to 47.6°.(3)It is concluded that both orthopedic modalities provide improvement in the degree of scoliosis,with the thoracic correction being greater than the lumbar correction.Also,the asymmetric stress distribution on the concave and convex sides is improved,which contributes to normal bone growth.A vertical distraction approach is appropriate for larger Cobb angles,and a lateral thrust approach is appropriate for smaller Cobb angles.The results of this study help to understand the mechanism of spinal orthosis and provide a theoretical basis for the choice of orthopedic approach.

Objective To explore the correlation between helicobacter pylori(Hp)infection and inflam-matory factors,as well as its association with the progression of liver fibrosis in patients with metabolically associ-ated fatty liver disease(MAFLD)and type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM).Methods A total of 300 patients diag-nosed with MAFLD and T2DM who were admitted to the Hepatology Department of Hebei Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine between April 2023 and March 2024 were recruited.Based on Hp infection status,these patients were classified into an Hp-positive group and an Hp-negative group.Subsequently,the clinical data,inflammatory factors,and liver fibrosis indices of the two groups were comprehensively compared.Furthermore,the patients in the Hp-positive group were randomly assigned to an intervention group and a control group.The intervention group received standard Hp eradication therapy,whereas the control group was administered placebo therapy.Pearson correlation analysis was employed to investigate the associations among Hp infection,inflammatory factors,and liver fibrosis indices.Binary logistic regression analysis was utilized to identify the independent risk factors influencing the progression of liver fibrosis.Results In both the Hp-positive and Hp-negative groups,parameters including age,fasting blood glucose(FPG),glycosylated hemoglobin(HbA1c),total bilirubin(TBIL),direct bilirubin(DBIL),indirect bilirubin(IBIL),tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),and interleukin-6(IL-6),along with C-reactive protein(CRP)and liver stiffness measurement(LSM),were meticulously measured.Statistical analysis revealed that the differences in these parameters between the two groups were significant(P<0.05).Specifically,within the experimental setup,the levels of TNF-α,IL-6,CRP,and LSM in the intervention group were notably lower than those in the control group(P<0.05).Pearson correlation analysis was employed to explore the relation-ships among variables,and the results indicated a positive correlation between the Hp detection value(DPM)and the levels of TNF-α,IL-6,CRP,and LSM(P<0.05).Furthermore,binary logistic regression analysis was con-ducted to identify independent risk factors.The findings demonstrated that positive Hp infection,elevated TNF-α,elevated IL-6,and elevated CRP were independent risk factors for the progression of liver fibrosis(P<0.05).To evaluate the diagnostic performance,the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve analysis was carried out.The areas under the curve(AUC)for HP infection,TNF-α,IL-6,and CRP were 0.800,0.786,0.769,and 0.783,respectively.These values were significantly lower than the AUC of 0.896 obtained from the combined detection(P<0.05).Conclusions In MAFLD patients with T2DM,DPM is closely associated with inflammatory factors(such as TNF-α,IL-6,and CRP)and the advancement of liver fibrosis.The combined detection of these factors holds significant value in predicting the progression of liver fibrosis.It can offer a reliable foundation for the clinical assessment of the risk of liver fibrosis progression.

Objective To investigate the mechanism of the miR-518a-5p/histone deacetylase 6(HDAC6)axis in DNA oxidative damage in ovarian cancer(OC)SKOV3 cells.Methods Expression levels of miR-518a-5p and HDAC6 mRNA in OC tissues and in various cancer cells(A2780,SKOV3,CAOV3)were detected by qRT-PCR.SKOV3 cells were separated into Control,miR-NC,miR-518a-5p mimics,miR-518a-5p mimics+pcDNA-NC,and miR-518a-5p mimics+pc-HDAC6 groups.Cell proliferation and apoptosis were analyzed by colony-forming assay and Hoechst 33258 staining.Expression of phosphorylated histone H2AX(γ-H2AX)was detected by immunofluorescence assay and reactive oxygen species(ROS)were detected by flow cytometry.HDAC6,Bcl-2-associated X protein(Bax),and B-cell lymphoma-2(Bcl-2)protein expression were analyzed by Western blot.The regulatory relationship between miR-518a-5p and HDAC6 was analyzed by dual luciferase assay.The effect and mechanism of miR-518a-5p on oxidative DNA damage in OC cells were studied in a xenotransplantation tumor model.Results miR-518a-5p expression was decreased and HDAC6 expression was increased in OC tissues and A2780,SKOV3,and CAOV3 cells(P＜0.001).Expression levels of miR-518a-5p were lowest and expression levels of HDAC6 were highest in SKOV3 cells,and SKOV3 cells were therefore selected for subsequent experiments.miR-518a-5p expression,apoptosis rate,number of γ-H2AX-positive cells,relative ROS fluorescence intensity,and expression of Bax were all higher in the miR-518a-5p mimics group compared with the miR-NC group,while HDAC6 mRNA and protein expression,Bcl-2 expression,and colony-formation number were all lower(P＜0.001).HDAC6 mRNA and protein expression,colony-formation number,and expression of Bcl-2 were higher in the miR-518a-5p mimics+pc-HDAC6 group compared with the miR-518a-5p mimics+pcDNA-NC group,and the apoptosis rate,number of γ-H2AX-positive cells,relative ROS fluorescence intensity,and expression of Bax were all lower(P＜0.001).HDAC6 had a targeted regulatory relationship with miR-518a-5p.Overexpression of miR-518a-5p decreased tumor volume,weight,and HDAC6 protein expression in tumor tissues,and increased γ-H2AX expression in vivo(P＜0.001).Upregulation of HDAC6 expression by overexpression of miR-518a-5p increased graft tumor volume,weight,and HDAC6 protein expression and decreased γ-H2AX-positive expression(P＜0.05).Conclusions miR-518a-5p expression is reduced and HDAC6 expression is increased in OC tissues and cells.Overexpression of miR-518a-5p can induce oxidative DNA damage in SKOV3 cells by inhibiting HDAC6 expression,thereby inhibiting cell proliferation and promoting cell apoptosis.
