Asthma is a chronic inflammatory respiratory disease involving multiple cells and cellular components， characterized by recurrent episodes of wheezing， shortness of breath， chest tightness， and coughing， significantly impacting patients' quality of life. The phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B（PI3K/Akt） signaling pathway， as a crucial hub in intracellular signaling， is widely involved in the regulation of cell growth， proliferation， survival， metabolism， and a series of pathophysiological processes. Its regulatory role in the pathological progression of asthma is particularly significant， specifically in promoting airway inflammation， mediating epithelial mesenchymal transition， accelerating airway remodeling， regulating cell autophagy， inducing mucus hypersecretion， and influencing immune response balance. This study analyzed potential molecular targets of the PI3K/Akt pathway， including activators such as cysteine proteinase inhibitor 1（CST1）， found in inflammatory zone 1（FIZZ1） and free fatty acid receptor 1（FFAR1）， and inhibitors such as human β-defensin-3（hBD-3）， disintegrins， metalloproteinase 33（ADAM33） and interleukin-27（IL-27）， and initially revealed the potential molecular mechanisms of traditional Chinese medicine（TCM） in asthma intervention. Based on this， the authors systematically summarized the efficacy and specific mechanisms of TCM monomers， compounds， and external treatments for asthma by regulating the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway through literature review and analysis， aiming at establishing a robust foundation for the wide application and advanced development of TCM in asthma treatment， offering innovative insights for clinical research and drug development of asthma.

OBJECTIVE To explore the regulatory effects of Buqi tongqiao formula on intestinal flora and immune balance in immunoglobulin A nephropathy （IgAN） rats based on the theory of “treating different diseases with the same therapy”. METHODS Male SD rats were randomly assigned to the Normal group and the modeling group. IgAN rat models were established in the modeling group by intragastric administration of bovine serum albumin， subcutaneous injection of carbon tetrachloride and castor oil mixture， and tail vein injection of lipopolysaccharide. Successfully modeled rats were then randomly divided into the model group （Model group）， Buqi tongqiao formula low-dose group （BQTQ-L group）， Buqi tongqiao formula high-dose group （BQTQ- H group）， and positive control group （BZP group）， with 15 rats in each group. BZP group received intragastric administration of benazepril hydrochloride （10 mg/kg）， while BQTQ-L and BQTQ-H groups were given Buqi tongqiao formula at doses of 9.81 and 19.62 g/kg （calculated as raw herb weight）， respectively. The Normal group and the Model group received an equal volume of normal saline intragastrically， once a day， for 8 consecutive weeks. The 24-hour urinary total protein （24 h UTP） contents were measured at weeks 8， 10， 12， 14 and 16 of the experiment. After the last administration， serum creatinine （Scr） and blood urea nitrogen （BUN） contents were detected. Renal histopathological changes and glomerular IgA immune complex deposition were examined. Additionally， alterations in gut microbiota composition， the proportions of peripheral T helper cell 17 （Th17） and regulatory T cell （Treg）， as well as the ratio of Th17 and Treg （Th17/Treg）， were analyzed across all groups. RESULTS Compared with the Model group， rats in both BQTQ-L and BQTQ-H groups showed alleviated mesangial cell hyperplasia， reduced matrix expansion， and decreased IgA immune complex deposition in the glomeruli. The 24 h UTP contents （at weeks 14 and 16 in the BQTQ-L group； at weeks 12， 14 and 16 in the BQTQ-H group）， Scr and BUN contents， IgA-positive area fluorescence intensities， relative abundances of Firmicutes， Th17 cell proportions， and Th17/Treg were significantly decreased in both BQTQ-L and BQTQ-H groups （P＜0.05）； while the Chao1， Observed species， Shannon， and Simpson （except for BQTQ-H group） indexes， the relative abundances of Bacteroidota， and the proportions of Treg were significantly increased （P＜0.05）. Differential microbiota included c_Clostridia （BQTQ-L group vs. Model group） and g_Ruminococcus （BQTQ-H group vs. Model group）， etc. CONCLUSIONS Buqi tongqiao formula may alleviate renal injury and exert a renal protective effect in IgAN rats by modulating intestinal flora homeostasis and Th17/Treg immune balance.

Cephalosporin is still the first-line drug chosen for the treatment of gonorrhea, although it is likely to develop resistance to Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Recently, the resistance or low sensitivity of cephalosporin to Neisseria gonorrhoeae have been reported at home and abroad. The studies of resistance mechanism to Neisseria gonorrhoeae are particularly important. The resistance mechanism is mainly lied in three aspects. The first is the changes in antibiotic target sites, for example, the changes in penicillin-binding proteins would affect the binding of antibiotics to Neisseria gonorrhoeae; the second is the changes in bacterial cell membrane porin which effects drugs influxing; the third is the changes in efflux system which enhances the bacterial efflux capacity. To study and explore the mechanism of Neisseria gonorrhoeae resistance is of great importance for the prevention and treatment of gonorrhea.
