Objective:To observe the effect of Guilu Taohong Formula on semen quality in varicocele(VC)models of rats,and to explore its possible mechanism.Methods:Forty-eight male SD rats were randomly divided into four groups(sham group,model group,Guilu Taohong Formula group and L-carnitine group).After the establishment of models,the rats were treated with intra-gastric administration for eight consecutive weeks.The general condition of the rats was observed.After the gavage,the testicular and epididymal indices were calculated.Semen quality was assessed using an automatic semen analyzer.Apoptosis of testicular cells was assessed by TUNEL staining.And the expression levels of B-cell lymphocytoma-2(Bcl-2),Bcl-2-associated X protein(Bax)and cys-teine aspartate protease-3(caspase-3)in testicular tissue were detected by Western blot.Results:Compared with the sham group,testicular index,epididymal index,sperm concentration,the percentage of progressive motility of sperm(PR％)and the expression level of Bcl-2 decreased in model group(P＜0.01).An increased apoptosis rate of spermatogenic cells and the expression levels of Bax and caspase-3 proteins were observed in model group as well(P＜0.01).Compared with the model group,the testicular index,epidid-ymal index,sperm concentration,PR％and the expression level of Bcl-2 in Guilu Taohong Formula group increased significantly(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).A decreased apoptosis rate of spermatogenic cells and the expression levels of Bax and caspase-3 proteins were de-tected in Guilu Taohong Formula group as well(P＜0.01).Similarly,the L-carnitine group showed increased testicular index,epidid-ymal index,sperm concentration,PR％and the expression level of Bcl-2 protein(P＜0.05,P＜0.01),where showed decreased ap-optosis rate of spermatogenic cells and the expression levels of Bax and caspase-3 proteins compared with model group(P＜0.01,P＜0.05).Conclusion:Guilu Taohong Formula improves semen quality in VC model rats and reduces the apoptosis rate of spermato-genic cells in testicular tissue,which may be related to the promotion of Bcl-2 protein expression and the inhibition of Bax and caspase-3 protein expression levels.

The molecular mechanisms underlying the develop-ment and metastasis of prostate cancer remain elusive.This comprehensive review delves into the intricate role of cofilin,an actin-binding protein,in the pathogenesis and progression of prostate cancer.Cofilin is a significant protein in cytoskeletal dynamics,and any dysregulation may result in the morphological changes in normal cells and the invasion and metastasis of tumor cells.Research has revealed that the activity of cofilin is regula-ted by various mechanisms,including phosphorylation/dephos-phorylation and interactions with other molecules.Moreover,this review discusses promising therapeutic interventions,such as co-filin inhibitors and gene therapy,which have demonstrated effica-cy in preclinical models.The challenge of clinically preventing the transition to castration-resistant prostate cancer and tumor metastasis is widely recognized,necessitating the development of precise drug treatments and biomarker identification.As a key regulatory protein,cofilin provides a more comprehensive refer-ence for the prevention and treatment of prostate diseases.

Trimethylamine N-oxide(TMAO), a metabolite of gut microbiota, is closely associated with chronic kidney disease(CKD). It can aggravate the kidney injury and promote the occurrence of complications of CKD mainly by inducing renal fibroblast activation, vascular endothelial inflammation, macrophage foaming, platelet hyperreactivity, and inhibition of reverse cholesterol transport. Thus it is of great significance for clinical treatment of CKD to regulate circulating TMAO and alleviate its induced body damage. Currently, therapeutic strategies for TMAO regulation include dietary structure adjustment, lifestyle intervention, intestinal microflora regulation, and inhibition of intestinal trimethylamine synthesis and liver trimethylamine oxidation. Chinese medicinal herbs have the clinical advantage of multi-component and multi-target effects, and application of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) to synergistically regulating TMAO and improving CKD via multiple pathways has broad prospects. This study systematically reviewed the clinical relevance and mechanism of TMAO in aggravating CKD renal function deterioration and complication progression. In addition, the effect and mechanism of TCM in improving TMAO-induced kidney injury, cardiovascular disease, hyperlipidemia, thrombosis and osteoporosis were summarized. The results provided a theoretical basis for TCM in attenuating gut microbiota-derived metabolite TMAO and improving CKD, as well as a basis and direction for in-depth clinical development and mechanism research in the future.

Objective To investigate the relationship between exon 11 CAG triplet nucleotide repeats ([CAG]n) of myocyte enhancer binding factor-2A (MEF2A ) polymorphisms and ischemic stroke caused by large artery atherosclerosis (LAA). Methods Two hundred and five patients with first onset ischemic stroke caused by LAA, admitted to our hospital from June 2010 to December 2014, and 192 healthy controls were chosen in our study. The polymorphisms of exons 11 of MEF2A gene were genotyped by polymerase chain reaction-sequence-based typing (PCR-SBT). The relation of ischemic stroke caused by LAA with polymorphisms of (CAG)n was analyzed. Results Different (CAG)n alleles could be detected, with repeated sequences of 9-11. Frequencies for the different (CAG)n alleles in exon 11 CAG of MEF2A gene were not the same between the ischemic stroke patients and the controls (χ2=8.547, P=0.036). The distribution frequency of the (CAG)9 allele in the ischemic stroke group was significantly higher than that in the control group (χ2=6.650, P=0.010). Logistic regression analysis indicated that systolic pressure and (CAG)9 (OR=1.401, P=0.017, 95％CI: 1.063-1.847) were the independent risk factors of acute ischemic stroke caused by LAA. Conclusion The (CAG)n polymorphisms may be associated with ischemic stroke caused by LAA and the (CAG)9 allele may be one of the genetic susceptibility factors for this subtype of stroke.

Dietary pattern has been revealed to be associated with metabolic syndrome. However, the association was not well documented in Chinese due to the complexity of Chinese foods. We mainly assessed the dietary patterns and examined their effects on metabolic syndrome among Chinese adults. Four dietary patterns including 'Refined Grains & Vegetables' Pattern, 'Dairy & Eggs' Pattern, 'Organ Meat & Poultry' Pattern, and 'Coarse Grains & Beans' Pattern were extracted. 'Dairy & Eggs' Pattern was associated with a decreased odds of metabolic syndrome in women, and 'Coarse Grains & Beans' Pattern was associated with a decreased odds of hypertension in men. These results provided a scientific basis for future research and dietary guideline perfection.
