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.

"Sinew prescription correspondence" is the principle of selecting prescriptions for channel sinew diseases. On the basis of the theory of syndrome differentiation and treatment， the pulse manifestation corresponds to the channel sinew syndrome， which can improve the flexibility and standardization of clinical prescriptions. From the perspective of systematic dialectical sphygmology， this paper explains the dialectical relationship between channel sinew theory and pulse body elements， pulse wall elements， pulse elements and blood flow elements， and clarifies the internal relationship between pulse manifestation and prescriptions at the level of channel sinew disease. The prescription is derived from the method， while the method is established with the syndrome， and the prescription is unified by the method. According to the theory of "sinew prescription correspondence"， the treatment ideas of channel sinew diseases were analyzed from the perspective of channel sinew distribution， functional characteristics and structural changes. On this basis， the diagnosis of channel sinew disease and the application of prescriptions are expanded， and the research on the internal treatment and diagnosis mode of "pulse manifestation-channel sinew-zang fu （脏腑）" is prospected， so as to expand the differentiation and treatment methods of channel sinew theory.

Objective: Machine learning (ML) has been reported to have better predictive capability than traditional statistical techniques. The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of ML algorithms and logistic regression (LR) for predicting depressive symptoms during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: Analyses were carried out in a national cross-sectional study involving 21,916 participants. The ML algorithms in this study included random forest (RF), support vector machine (SVM), neural network (NN), and gradient boosting machine (GBM) methods. The performance indices were sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, precision, F1-score, and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC). Results: LR and NN had the best performance in terms of AUCs. The risk of overfitting was found to be negligible for most ML models except for RF, and GBM obtained the highest sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, precision, and F1-score. Therefore, LR, NN, and GBM models ranked among the best models. Conclusion Compared with ML models, LR model performed comparably to ML models in predicting depressive symptoms and identifying potential risk factors while also exhibiting a lower risk of overfitting.

Objective To explore the mechanism of matrine in the treatment of uveal melanoma by network pharmacology,and the related results were verified by molecular docking and cell experiments.Methods The potential targets of matrine were obtained from Swiss Target Prediction,SuperPred and TCMSP databases.The targets related to uveal melanoma were obtained from GeneCards,OMIM,CTD and DrugBank databases.Protein-protein interaction(PPI)network was established to screen core targets.Gene ontology(GO)enrichment analysis and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes(KEGG)signal pathway analysis were carried out for potential targets.The interaction between matrine and core targets was evaluated by molecular docking technique.The effects of different concentrations of matrine(0.25 g/L,0.50 g/L,1.00 g/L,2.00 g/L)on the proliferation of uveal melanoma cells were evaluated based on CCK-8 method.Western blot was used to verify the regulatory effects of different concentrations of matrine(0.25 g/L,0.50 g/L,1.00 g/L,2.00 g/L)on PI3K-Akt signaling pathway.Results A total of 208 potential targets of matrine were identified,and 5 453 targets related to uveal melanoma were obtained.The topological analysis of PPI network revealed 8 core targets,namely interleukin-6(IL-6),tumor necrosis factor(TNF),myelocytomatosis proteins(MYC),signal transducer and activator of transcription 3(STAT3),caspase-3(CASP3),heat shock protein 90AB1(HSP90AB1),mammalian target of rapamycin(mTOR),and matrix metalloproteinase 9(MMP9).GO enrichment analysis showed that biological processes(BP)mainly included inflammatory response,protein phosphorylation and response to exogenous stimuli;cell components(CC)mainly included plasma membrane,cell surface and cytoplasm;molecular function(MF)mainly included the same protein binding,ATP binding and kinase activity.The enrichment analysis of KEGG pathway showed that the effect of matrine was mediated by viral carcinogenesis,cancer pathway,TNF signaling pathway and PI3K-Akt signaling pathway.Molecular docking showed that matrine had good binding ability with the selected core targets.The results of cell experiments showed that matrine at concentrations of 0.50 g/L,1.00 g/L and 2.00 g/L could inhibit the proliferation of MuM2B cells,and the cell survival rate gradually decreased with the increase of concentration.Matrine at concentrations of 0.50 g/L,1.00 g/L and 2.00 g/L could down-regulate the protein expression levels of p-PI3K and p-Akt,and the protein expression levels of p-PI3K and p-Akt gradually decreased with the increase of concentration.Conclusion Matrine acts on tar-gets such as IL-6,TNF,MYC,STAT3,CASP3,HSP90AB1,mTOR,MMP9,and exerts therapeutic effects on uveal melanoma by viral carcinogenesis,cancer pathway,TNF signaling pathway and PI3K-Akt signaling pathway,etc.

Aim To clarify the mechanism by which Qishen Yixin Granules improved microcirculation vas-cular endothelial dysfunction(VED)in mice,through activating the Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway to regulate oxidative stress.Methods C57 mice were randomly divided into six groups:blank group,model group,pos-itive drug group,and low-,medium-,and high-dose groups of Qishen Yixin Granules.The VED model was established by long-term infusion of Ang Ⅱ combined with a high-fat diet.Each treatment group received the corresponding drug intervention.After four weeks of drug intervention,cardiac function was assessed by echocardiography.Carstairs staining was used to ob-serve the formation of microthrombi in myocardial tis-sue.The micro vascular ischemia was evaluated by Hei-denhain staining.The ultrastructure of endothelial cells was observed by electron microscopy.The levels of EMPs,ROS,NO,ET-1,TF,TM,VWF,and TXA2 in serum were measured by ELISA.The expression levels of MDA,SOD,and GSH-Px in mouse heart tissue were determined by chemical methods.Cardiac microvascu-lar density and the expression of Nrf2,Keap1,and HO-1 proteins were detected by Immunohistochemical stai-ning.The protein expressions of Keap1,cytoplasmic Nrf2,nuclear Nrf2,and HO-1 in myocardial tissue were detected by Western blot.Results Qishen Yixin Granules could effectively improve the cardiac function of mice,alleviate the damage of endothelial cells and endothelial function.They could up-regulate serum NO levels and the activities of antioxidant enzymes SOD and GSH-Px,while down-regulating the expression of ROS and vascular inflammatory injury factors such as ET-1,VWF,TXA2,TF,TM,and EMPs.Qishen Yixin Granules also increased the positive counts of CD34,Nrf2,and HO-1,as well as microvessel density.Fur-thermore,they inhibited the expression of MDA,Keap1,and cytoplasmic Nrf2 protein in myocardial tis-sue,while increasing the expression of nuclear proteins HO-1 and Nrf2.Conclusions Qishen Yixin Granules may inhibit oxidative stress and inflammatory response by regulating the Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway,thereby improving vascular endothelial damage and cardiac function in VED mice.

Aim To investigate the effect of neogam-bogic acid(NGA)on inducing ferroptosis in osteosar-coma K7M2 cells and subcutaneous transplanted tumor mice and explore the underlying mechanism.Methods MTT assay was employed to detect the effect of NGA(1,2,4,8,16,32,64,128 μmol·L-1)on cell prolif-eration,and the IC50 value was calculated.Calcein AM assay was used to detect cell viability.Transwell was applied to detect cell invasion.TEM was utilized to ob-serve the mitochondria morphology.K7M2 cells were subjected to treat with ferroptosis inducers erastin(Era)and inhibitors ferrostatin-1(Fer-1)to assess the levels of MDA,GSH,Fe2+,and LDH.RT-qPCR and Western blot were used to detect the mRNA and protein expression of STAT3,GPX4,and SLC7A11.A transplanted tumor model was established and treated with NGA to assess the impact of it on tumor growth and ferroptosis in vivo.HE staining was applied to ana-lyze the pathological status of tumor tissues.Nile red fluorescence staining was applied to detect the level of lipid components in tumor tissues.Results The pro-liferation,viability and invasion ability of K7M2 cells were significantly reduced after treatment with NGA at different concentrations(P＜0.05),and typical fea-tures of ferroptosis such as decreased mitochondrial vol-ume and reduced mitochondrial spine were observed.Compared to the control,the expression of MDA,Fe2+and LDH significantly increased(P＜0.01),while the content of GSH significantly decreased(P＜0.01).The ferroptosis in osteosarcoma was enhanced by the erastin,while inhibited by ferrostatin-1.In terms of mechanism,NGA inhibited the mRNA and protein ex-pression levels of STAT3,GPX4 and SLC7A11(P＜0.05).In vivo experiments confirmed that NGA signif-icantly improved the pathological state of tumor tissues,inhibited tumor growth,and induced ferroptosis in os-teosarcoma tissue cells.Conclusion NGA induces ferroptosis in osteosarcoma cells both in vitro and in vi-vo by inhibiting the STAT3/GPX4/SLC7A11 signaling axis,thereby exerting an anti-osteosarcoma effect.

Objective To investigate the correlation between different diabetes mellitus(DM)subtypes and the inci-dence of glaucoma through bidirectional Mendelian randomization(MR)analysis.Methods Based on a bidirectional MR analysis framework,the highly correlated single nucleotide polymorphism(SNP)was selected from the genome-wide asso-ciation study(GWAS)data as the instrumental variable(Ⅳ)for three DM subtypes[including type 1 diabetes mellitus(T1DM),type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM),and gestational diabetes mellitus(GDM)]and glaucoma to analyze the bidi-rectional causal relationship between different DM subtypes and glaucoma.Besides,the MR-Egger method,weighted medi-an method,inverse-variance weighted method,simple random model,and weighted mode method were adopted to conduct a comprehensive analysis,and the obtained results were subjected to sensitivity analyses.Results The bidirectional MR analysis results revealed no causal association between T1DM and glaucoma.The forward MR analysis results indicated that T2DM may promote the development of glaucoma(IVW:OR=1.09,95％CI:1.05～1.14),while the development of glau-coma did not increase the risk of T2DM.Meanwhile,the multivariable MR analysis results showed that T2DM might be a potential risk factor for the development of glaucoma.The forward MR analysis results demonstrated that GDM did not in-crease the incidence of glaucoma;whereas the reverse MR analysis results suggested that glaucoma might increase the sus-ceptibility to GDM(IVW:OR=1.11,95％CI:1.02～1.21).The sensitivity analysis results confirmed the stability and relia-bility of these findings.Conclusion T2DM may contribute to the development of glaucoma,and patients with glaucoma may exhibit heightened susceptibility to GDM during pregnancy.
