ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of Gardeniae Fructus-Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma on ferroptosis in the rat model of myocardial infarction and further elucidate its role in myocardial remodeling. MethodsThe rat model of myocardial infarction was established by ligation of the left anterior descending coronary artery. The 50 successfully modeled rats were randomly divided into model group， ferroptosis inhibitor group （2 mg·kg^-1）， enalapril group （2.1 mg·kg^-1）， and low- and high-dose （4 g·kg^-1 and 8 g·kg^-1， respectively） Gardeniae Fructus-Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma， with 10 rats in each group. The rat model of myocardial infarction was established by ligation of the left anterior descending coronary artery. After 4 weeks of treatment， echocardiography was used to assess the cardiac structure and function. Hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining and Masson staining were employed to observe pathological morphology and fibrosis of the myocardial tissue. Serum levels of N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide （NT-proBNP）， transforming growth factor-β （TGF-β）， and myosin heavy chain-β （MHC-β） were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）. Prussian blue staining was performed to detect myocardial iron deposition. The myocardial mitochondrial structure was observed by transmission electron microscopy. Levels of malondialdehyde （MDA） and glutathione （GSH） in the myocardial tissue were determined by lipid peroxidation assay kits. Immunofluorescence assay was conducted to observe the fluorescence intensity of nuclear factor E₂-related factor 2 （Nrf2） in the myocardial tissue. Western blot analysis was performed to evaluate the expression levels of proteins in the Nrf2/solute carrier family 7 member 11 （SLC7A11）/glutathione peroxidase 4 （GPX4） pathway. ResultsCompared with the sham group， the model group showed increased left ventricular end-diastolic diameter （LVEDD）， left ventricular end-systolic diameter （LVESD）， and serum levels of NT-proBNP， TGF-β， and MHC-β （P<0.01）， decreased left ventricular ejection fraction （LVEF） and left ventricular fractional shortening （LVFS） （P<0.01）， disarrangement of myocardial cells， inflammatory cell infiltration， severe myocardial fibrosis， increased myocardial iron deposition， and irregular mitochondrial morphology with vacuolation. Furthermore， the modeling led to increased MDA （P<0.01）， decreased GSH （P<0.01）， diminished Nrf2 fluorescence intensity in the myocardial tissue， and downregulated expression levels of Nrf2， SLC7A11， and GPX4 （P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， Gardeniae Fructus-Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma reduced the LVEDD， LVESD， and serum levels of NT-proBNP， TGF-β， and MHC-β （P<0.05， P<0.01）， increased the LVEF and LVFS （P<0.05， P<0.01）， alleviated pathological changes such as myocardial cell disarrangement， inflammatory cell infiltration， myocardial fibrosis， and iron deposition， lowered the level of MDA （P<0.05， P<0.01）， raised the level of GSH （P<0.05， P<0.01）， improved the mitochondrial morphology and reduced vacuolation in the myocardial tissue， enhanced Nrf2 fluorescence intensity， and upregulated the expression levels of Nrf2， SLC7A11， and GPX4 （P<0.05， P<0.01） in the rat model of myocardial infarction. ConclusionGardeniae Fructus-Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma alleviates pathological damage and myocardial remodeling in the rat model of myocardial infarction by inhibiting ferroptosis， the mechanism of which is related to the activation of Nrf2/SLC7A11/GPX4 signaling pathway.

Blood-bi-syndrome is primarily characterized by localized numbness and mild pain in the limbs.Records about the diagnosis and treatment of blood-bi-syndrome are scattered throughout classical medical literature.According to the theory of Yindan and Yangdan formulas in the classical prescription system,when the body's ascending function of qi movement is insufficiency,Yangdan formulas which contain Astragali Radix can be used for warming and uplifting yang qi.Conversely,when the descending function of qi movement is insufficiency,Yindan formulas which contain containing Bupleuri Radix can be used for astringing,descending,clearing and purging.This article,based on the principles of Yindan and Yangdan formulas,analyzed the fundamental pathogenesis of blood-bi-syndrome developing from the transmission of superficial syndromes,as well as its clinical manifestations during the transmission and change between taiyin disease and yangming disease.And the therapeutic strategies for blood-bi-syndrome were also summarized.It is proposed that taiyin blood-bi-syndrome arises in individuals with constitutionally deficient cold after the attack of pathogenic factors,resulting from fluid depletion,blood insufficiency,and stomach deficiency,which should be treated by Yangdan Formulas with pungent-sweet-warm properties for warming and uplifting yang qi.For the treatment of patients with taiyin blood-bi-syndrome characterized by exterior syndrome,Astragali Radix-containing classical prescriptions like Astragali Radix and Cinnamomi Ramulus Five-Component Decoction(Huangqi Guizhi Wuwu Decoction)can be chosen;for the treatment of patients with taiyin blood-bi-syndrome characterized by interior syndrome,Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens-containing classical prescriptions like Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium and Bambusae Caulis in Taenia Decoction(Jupi Zhuru Decoction)is adopted.Conversely,yangming blood-bi-syndrome occurs in individuals with constitutionally excessive heat after the attack of pathogenic factors,resulting from the internal accumulation of blood stasis and heat and the impairment of the fluid and blood,which should be treated by Yindan Formulas with pungent-sweet-cold or sour-cold properties for astringing,descending,clearing and purging.For the treatment of patients with yangming blood-bi-syndrome characterized by exterior syndrome,Puerariae Lobatae Radix-containing classical prescriptions like Phyllostachydis Henonis Folium and Puerariae Lobatae Radix Decoction(Zhuye Gegen Decoction)can be used;for the treatment of patients with yangming blood-bi-syndrome characterized by interior syndrome,Paeoniae Radix Alba-containing classical prescriptions like Rhei Radix et Rhizoma and Eupolyphaga seu Steleophaga Decoction(Dahuang Zhechong Wan)is recommended.

Objective To analyze the clinical characteristics of thyroid dysfunction induced by camrelizumab in the treatment of classical Hodgkin lymphoma(cHL)and explore the influencing factors.Methods The medical records of cHL patients treated with camrelizumab from January 1st,2017 to December 31st,2020,were collected.The clinical characteristics of thyroid dysfunction induced by camrelizumab were analyzed,and the influencing factors of adverse drug reactions(ADRs)were discussed.Results A total of 47 patients were included,12 patients(25.53%)experiencing thyroid dysfunction after receiv-ing camrelizumab.Among them,3 patients had hypothyroidism,7 had subclinical hypothyroidism,and 2 had subclinical hyperthy-roidism.The severity of ADRs was between grade 1 and 2(mild to moderate).None of the patients with thyroid dysfunction dis-continued camrelizumab.Thyroid dysfunction occurred between 1 and 22 months after camrelizumab treatment,with a median time of 6 months.2 patients with hypothyroidism treated with levothyroxine,the thyroid function returned to normal in 1 patient and was improved in the other.1 patient with subclinical hypothyroidism was treated with levothyroxine with the thyroid function continued to be abnormal.The rest of the 9 patients with thyroid dysfunction received no intervention,and 4 of them returned to normal,and others remained with no obvious change or loss in follow-up.Thyroid dysfunction was associated with baseline thyroid stimulating hormone level(P=0.03).The level of thyroglobulin antibodies and thyroid peroxidase antibodies was increased in 2 patients a-mong 3 patients with moderate thyroid dysfunction.Conclusion The incidence of thyroid dysfunction induced by camrelizum-ab in cHL was high.Camrelizumab-induced thyroid dysfunction was related to TSH baseline level(P=0.03).The severity was between grade 1 and 2,which was related to the level of TgAb and TPOAb.The subtype of thyroid dysfunction was mainly sub-clinical hypothyroidism with a long period.Patients could continue camrelizumab treatment,and the thyroid function of patients with grade 2 hypothyroidism was improved after the treatment with levothyroxine.

In the theory of "opening-closing-pivoting"， the opening and closing pivot of a portal is used as a metaphor for the operating state of human qi and blood. Opening， closing and pivoting are well functioned together to maintain stable blood pressure， otherwise the imbalance of qi， blood， yin and yang in the body occurs when any of them is abnormal， thereby causing hypertension. During treatment， it is necessary to identify the impaired state of the three functions. If the "opening" is abnormal， it should be treated to restore qi’s function of external defense and distribution. If the "closing" is abnormal， it is necessary to regulate the deficiency and excess state of yang qi and restore the storage function. For "pivoting" disorder， it should be the key to regulate the circulation of qi and blood. Combined with clinical symptoms， the main treatment methods such as "sweat promotion"， "warming"， "clearing"， "purgation"， "supplementation" and "harmonization" are used to restore the function of the "opening-closing-pivoting"， making the blood and vessels of the body unblocked， and qi ascending and descending balanced， in order to achieve the effect of "moving pivot to facilitate opening and closing" and "opening and closing to transport pivot".

Objective:To study the influence of the severity of diabetic retinopathy (DR) on the visual function of patients with type 2 diabetes, to provide scientific basis for the early prevention and control of DR.Methods:This study was designed as a cross-sectional study, recruiting already-diagnosed type 2 diabetes patients in four community health service centers in Guizhou Province between February and September 2022. Employing the Chinese version of the Visual Function Index-14 (VF-14), assess the participants′ near vision, visual adaptation, subjective visual perception, and stereo vision, with higher scores indicating poorer visual function. Categorize the severity of each eye′s damage into no diabetic retinopathy (DR), mild non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR), moderate NPDR, severe NPDR, and proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR), and use a 5-level DR grading system to evaluate the overall severity of diabetic retinopathy in both eyes. Employing linear regression analysis to investigate the linear relationship between DR and visual function index. Local weighted regression evaluates the nonlinear relationship between the DR composite score and the scores of visual function, with a steeper slope indicating poorer visual function for that level.Results:A total of 542 patients with type 2 diabetes were investigated, including 244 (45.02%) males, 298 (54.98%) females, and 162 (29.89%) patients with DR. After adjusting for confounders, compared with those without DR, patients with binocular DR Had overall scores ( β=0.136, P=0.003), near vision ( β=0.163, P<0.001), visual adaptation ( β=0.092, P=0.042), subjective vision ( β=0.120, P=0.009) and stereo vision ( β=0.094, P=0.044) were higher than those without DR. There were no differences in visual functions between DR And monocular DR. The local weighted regression curve showed that near vision (slope: 23.78) and overall score (slope: 58.37) increased sharply from mild to moderate NPDR in both eyes. Visual adaptation (slope: 5.37, 7.72), subjective vision (slope: 6.53, 7.93), stereovision (slope: 0.74, 0.91) increased slowly in mild to moderate NPDR in both eyes and in moderate to severe NPDR/PDR in both eyes. Conclusion:Binocular DR is associated with impaired visual function, but there is no difference between monocular DR And non-DR visual function. The early damage of DR To visual function is mainly manifested in near vision. In the prevention and control of DR, more attention should be paid to visual function, especially the change of near vision, and retinal damage should not be assessed solely by visual status.
