Diabetic kidney disease （DKD） is one of the more common chronic kidney diseases，and its causes are complex. DKD is very easy to progress to end-stage renal disease，and the current therapeutic effect still needs to be improved. As an important excretive organ of the human body， the kidney has physiological functions such as discharging metabolic waste， regulating fluid balance， and maintaining the stability of the body's internal environment. These highly complex biochemical processes all depend on the energy support provided by mitochondria. Mitochondrial dysfunction is a key factor causing kidney injury， and the imbalance of mitochondrial homeostasis is an important link leading to mitochondrial dysfunction. The occurrence and development of DKD are often accompanied by the imbalance of mitochondrial homeostasis in renal cells. Mitochondrial autophagy， as a means of regulating mitochondrial homeostasis， is very important for the prevention and treatment of DKD. The PTEN-induced putative kinase 1 （PINK1）/Parkin pathway is one of the most classical pathways to regulate mitochondrial autophagy. Recent studies have found that some drugs can regulate the PINK1/Parkin signaling pathway to target mitochondrial homeostasis and exert renoprotective effects. In particular， traditional Chinese medicine has a significant effect on early and middle stage DKD by regulating PINK1/Parkin pathway-mediated mitochondrial autophagy. This article discussed the mechanism of PINK1/Parkin pathway in mitochondrial autophagy and DKD and reviewed the effect of PINK1/Parkin pathway-mediated mitochondrial autophagy on DKD. At the same time， it explored the therapeutic effect of traditional Chinese and western medicine on DKD mediated by PINK1/Parkin-mediated mitochondrial autophagy， aiming to broaden the ideas of traditional Chinese and western medicine for the prevention and treatment of DKD from the perspective of PINK1/Parkin regulating mitochondrial autophagy.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the effectiveness and safety of Sufei Pingchuan Formula （肃肺平喘方） in the treatment of bronchiectasis with airflow limitation， phlegm-heat obstructing the lung， and lung-spleen qi deficiency syndrome. MethodsA randomized， double-blind， placebo-controlled trial was conducted. A total of 72 patients with stable bronchiectasis with airflow limitation of phlegm-heat obstructing the lung and lung-spleen qi deficiency syndrome were randomly divided into treatment group and control group， with 36 cases in each group. On the basis of regular inhalation of tiotropium bromide inhalation spray， the treatment group was given Sufei Pingchuan Formula granules， and the control group was given Sufei Pingchuan Formula granule simulant. The course of treatment in both groups was 12 weeks. The pulmonary function of both groups before and after treatment was observed， specifically focusing on forced expiratory volume in one second （FEV1）； the modified British Medical Research Council （mMRC） dyspnea scale， 24-hour sputum volume， COPD assessment test （CAT）， and traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） syndrome scores were assessed before treatment and after 4， 8， and 12 weeks of treatment； acute exacerbations were recorded at weeks 4， 8， and 12； additionally， changes in routine blood tests， urinalysis， liver and kidney function， and adverse events were monitored before and after treatment. ResultsAfter treatment， 4 patients in the treatment group and 6 in the control group dropped out. After 12 weeks of treatment， FEV1 increased in both groups compared to pre-treatment levels （P＜0.05）， but the difference between groups was not statistically significant （P＞0.05）. Compared to before treatment， the treatment group showed a reduction in mMRC scores after 12 weeks （P＜0.05） and a decrease in 24-hour sputum volume， CAT scores， and TCM syndrome scores at weeks 4， 8， and 12 （P＜0.05）. In the control group， 24-hour sputum volume decreased after 12 weeks （P＜0.05）， and TCM syndrome scores decreased at weeks 8 and 12 （P＜0.05）. Compared to the control group， the treatment group showed a greater reduction in mMRC scores at week 12 （P＜0.05）， a decrease in 24-hour sputum volume and TCM syndrome scores at weeks 4， 8， and 12 （P＜0.05）， and lower CAT scores at weeks 8 and 12 （P＜0.05）. The frequency and number of acute exacerbations in the treatment group were significantly lower than those in the control group at week 12 （P＜0.05）. No severe adverse events occurred in either group. ConclusionSufei Pingchuan Formula can improve the pulmonary function FEV1， the severity of dyspnea， reduce 24-hour sputum volume and frequent acute exacerbations， and improve the quality of life in patients with bronchiectasis and airflow limitation， with good safety.

ObjectiveTo investigate the status and dietary intake risk of pesticide residues in fruits and vegetables sold in Wenzhou, Zhejiang Province from 2020 to 2023, so as to provide a scientific basis for the regulation and management of pesticide in the future. MethodsIn accordance with the requirements and methods specified in the “National Food Contamination and Hazardous Factor Risk Monitoring Work Manual” and the current corresponding national food inspection standards for various foods, a total of 807 samples of vegetables and fruits from various counties and districts of Wenzhou City were collected for testing and analysis. Eventually, 23 types of pesticides with a detection rate greater than 5% and those exceeding the standard were selected for dietary intake risk assessment. ResultsFrom 2020 to 2023, the overall detection rate of pesticide residues in fruits and vegetables monitored in Wenzhou was 71.62%, with an overall exceedance rate of 5.27%. From the results of the monitoring of pesticide residues in fruits and vegetables, fresh legume vegetables had the highest detection rate of 90.00%. Among the six major categories of pesticides monitored, fungicides in vegetables and fruits had the highest detection rates of 68.18% and 85.03%, respectively. The highest exceedance rate in vegetables was organophosphorus pesticides, accounting for 2.85%, while in fruits, neonicotinoid pesticides had the highest exceedance rate of 3.21%. From the perspective of sampling time, the peak detection rate of pesticide residues in fruits and vegetables in Wenzhou occurred in June and October. The index of food safety (IFS) of the 23 pesticides with a detection rate higher than 5% ranged from 0.000 7 to 0.694 2 based on the 95% monitoring value of pesticide residues, which were all less than 1. Calculated at maximum content, the IFS values of dithiocarbamate (calculated by CS₂), chlorothalonil and propiconazole were all greater than 1, indicating that the maximum detection values of the three pesticides exceeded the acceptable safety risk. The risk level of acute dietary intake of the 23 pesticides ranged from 1.26% to 52.65%. ConclusionThe overall situation of pesticide residues in fruits and vegetables sold in Wenzhou from 2020 to 2023 is favourable, but the exceedance rate of pesticide in some fruits and vegetables is high. Special attention should be paid to the pesticide residues of fungicides, neonicotinoid insecticides and organophosphorus pesticides in fresh legume vegetables, bulb vegetables and some fruits sold in Wenzhou, such as acetamiprid in bayberry and cowpea, dimethomorph in strawberry, chlorpyrifos in leek, etc., and monitoring of pesticide residues in food need to be strengthened.

ObjectiveTo assess the therapeutic effectiveness and safety of the traditional Chinese medicine compound Shenlong decoction in addressing the symptoms of pulmonary deficiency and stasis in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis （IPF）.

Objective To explore the promoting effect of long-term administration of nicotiflorin on the recovery of neurological function in rats with cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury （CIRI）. Methods The CIRI model was established and nicotiflorin was injected intraperitoneally after 1 hour of obstruction for 8 weeks. Tail suspension deflection experiment, balance beam experiment and water maze test were performed in the 2nd, 4th and 8th weeks. After 8 weeks, TTC staining was used to observe the volume of infarct atrophy, transcriptome sequencing was employed to screen differential expressed genes （DEGs） and highly enriched pathways were analyzed, Western-bloting and Elisa were used to assess proteins expression related to the pyroptosis pathway and inflammatory cytokines IL-1β and IL-18. Results By long-term administration of nicotiflorin, the contralateral deflection rate was significantly reduced and beam experiment score of CIRI rats was balanced, the number of crossing the platform in water maze test was increased （P<0.05）, the volume of cerebral infarction atrophy was decreased （P<0.01）, which significantly promoted the recovery of neurological function in rats. Transcriptome sequencing found that the expression of genes in the pyroptosis-related signaling pathways in the brain tissue of rats in the nicotiflorin group was significantly down-regulated （P<0.05）. Western-blot and Elisa experiments showed that nicotiflorin reduced the expression levels of Caspase-1 and GSDMD-N and other pyroptosis-related proteins, and at the same time, the release of inflammatory factors IL-1β and IL-18 was significantly reduced （P<0.05）, indicating that nicotiflorin could inhibit the inflammatory process of pyroptosis. Conclusion Nicotiflorin exhibited a significant long-term promotion effect on the recovery of neurological function in CIRI rats, which potentially attributed from its ability to inhibit pyroptosis.

BACKGROUND:The accurate diagnosis of early bone metastases plays an important role in treatment and prognosis.Bone biopsy is the gold standard for the diagnosis of bone metastases,but it is difficult to implement in clinical practice because of its invasive and small specimen size.In recent years,with the continuous development of magnetic resonance imaging technology,quantitative magnetic resonance imaging techniques such as magnetic resonance spectroscopy and based on chemical shift encoded magnetic resonance imaging have been widely used in the diagnosis of bone metastasis.The derived markers include table signal fat fraction and proton density fat fraction.All of them could reflect the bone marrow fat content.At present,the role of bone marrow fat in the development of bone metastases has become a new focus of attention. OBJECTIVE:To review the effect of bone marrow fat on bone metastasis and the quantitative evaluation techniques of magnetic resonance imaging,to summarize and compare the advantages and disadvantages of different magnetic resonance imaging fat quantification techniques in evaluating bone metastasis and their clinical applications. METHODS:The computer was used to search relevant literature in PubMed and CNKI database.Chinese and English search terms were"bone metastases,bone marrow adipocytes,magnetic resonance imaging,quantitative MRI,fat fraction,magnetic resonance spectrum,chemical shift encoding-based water-fat imaging."A total of 67 relevant articles were obtained according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Bone marrow adipocytes can contribute to the occurrence of bone metastasis by secreting a variety of related hormones and cytokines,providing energy for tumor cells,and inducing osteoclast differentiation.(2)Quantitative magnetic resonance imaging can accurately quantify adipose tissue and measure the change of fat content in bone marrow,which is helpful for the diagnosis of bone metastasis.(3)Magnetic resonance spectroscopy can reflect different metabolites through different proton precession frequencies,so it can be used for fat quantification,and is currently used as an auxiliary test to evaluate metastatic fractures.(4)Chemical shift encoding-based water-fat imaging can separate water and fat signals in positive and inverse phases,so as to measure adipose tissue signals,with high sensitivity,specificity and accuracy in differentiating benign and malignant vertebral fractures.

OBJECTIVE:To summarize the development history,research status,hot spots,and future development trends of artificial intelligence technology in the field of bone trauma to provide new insights for future research. METHODS:This study selected relevant literature from the Web of Science core database,covering the period from the inception to August 2023,and retrieved 420 articles related to the application of artificial intelligence,machine learning,and deep learning in the field of bone trauma.After manual screening,202 articles related to this article were exported,and Citespace software was used for visual analysis of cooperation of countries,institutions,cited journals,citation analysis,keyword co-occurrence,and other aspects. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)The overall number of publications from the 202 selected articles showed an upward trend,indicating significant research potential for future studies.The country with the highest centrality and the highest publication volume was the United States.The University of California(USA)was the most prolific research institution.(2)The top five most commonly used keywords in bone trauma research using artificial intelligence were deep learning,artificial intelligence,bone density,machine learning,and diagnosis.The keyword with the highest centrality was bone density,and the keyword with the highest frequency was deep learning.(3)The top 10 most cited reference papers provided comprehensive insights into the feasibility of applying artificial intelligence techniques to the diagnosis of bone trauma from various perspectives.Among them,eight papers focused on bone and joint injuries and deep convolutional neural networks.One paper discussed the use of deep learning in detecting osteoporosis in CT scans to prevent fragility fractures,while another paper explored the correlation between the application of artificial intelligence in identifying changes in skin texture and the recognition of bone characteristics.(4)In the future,the research hotspots of artificial intelligence will mainly focus on the specific study of fractures caused by bone and joint trauma and osteoporosis.The research trend mainly focuses on improving the performance of artificial intelligence algorithms,using new artificial intelligence technologies to accurately classify and quickly and efficiently diagnose bone injuries,especially for the diagnosis of complex and hidden fractures.By establishing finite element analysis models,more standardized evaluations of bone injuries can be achieved.

BACKGROUND:Streptococcus mutans is an important pathogen of dental caries,and timely detection of its levels is of great significance for early detection and treatment of dental caries. OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the effect of loop-mediated isothermal amplification(FTA-LAMP)direct extraction of Streptococcus mutans DNA. METHODS:(1)Bacterial suspensions containing ATCC standard strains(Streptococcus mutans)were prepared and inoculated into the brain-heart leachate medium.After mixed thoroughly,the mixture was then diluted in a 10-fold gradient into seven concentrations(4.2×107,4.2×106,4.2×105,4.2×104,4.2×103,4.2×102,4.2×10 CFU/mL),two parallel controls were made for each dilution level,and sterile water was used as a blank control.(2)The DNA of Streptococcus mutans was extracted using FTA Elute card,boiling method,kit extraction and lysate extraction methods separately and then amplified using LAMP technology was amplified.A specificity test was also performed to compare the differences between the four DNA extraction methods.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The DNA extracted by all four methods met the requirements for LAMP amplification.Specificity test results showed that only Streptococcus mutans could specifically amplify the target gene.The detection limit value of the DNA concentration was 4.2×103 CFU/mL for the lysate method,4.2×104 CFU/mL for the FTA Elute card extraction method,4.2×106 CFU/mL for the kit extraction method,and 4.2×107 CFU/mL for the boiling method.In the other aspects of the four extraction methods,the kit extraction method had the highest experimental cost,number of steps and time;the other three methods had the same number of steps,with the FTA Elute card method requiring the least amount of instruments,the boiling method having the lowest single cost,and the lysate extraction method taking the least amount of time.Only a small amount of bacteria were needed for successful extraction using both the FTA Elute card and lysate extraction methods.Compared with the FTA Elute card method,the lysate extraction method was superior in terms of time,but it had a high single cost and required more equipment.To conclude,the FTA-LAMP technology established in this study has the advantages of ease of operation,high specificity,high sensitivity,and visualization,which is expected to be a new way for efficient extraction and detection of Streptococcus mutans.
