[Objective]To summarize and analyze the research progress of flavonoids in the prevention and treatment of diabetes mellitus and its complications.[Methods]The role of flavonoids in diabetes mellitus and diabetic complications was summarized by searching the databases of Web of Science,PubMed,China National Knowledge Infrastructure,VIP,Wanfang and others for the reports of flavonoids and diabetes mellitus and diabetic complications from January 2013 to December 2022,and the role of flavonoids in diabetes mellitus and diabetic complications was summarized.[Results]Studies have confirmed that flavonoids(herbal flavonoid extracts,naringenin,galangal,kaempferol,etc.)are effective in preventing and treating diabetes and diabetes-induced retinopathy,nephropathy,cardiomyopathy,osteoporosis and diabetic foot.Overall regulation and comprehensive treatment are the characteristics of flavonoid components,which can inhibit inflammation,reduce oxidative stress,repair mitochondrial function,lower blood glucose,relieve insulin resistance and are able to influence the expression of related factors from multiple signaling pathways,thus treating diabetes and its complications.[Conclusion]The elaboration of the pharmacodynamic material basis,mechanism of action and constitutive relationship of Chinese medicine flavonoids against diabetes mellitus and its complications in multiple ways and at multiple levels are key issues to be solved in the development of flavonoids and an important direction for future research.

OBJECTIVE To explore the protective effect and mechanism of Longshengzhi capsules on cerebral ischemia- reperfusion injury in rats. METHODS The model of middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) was established by using the improved thread occlusion method. The experiment was divided into six groups: sham surgery group (only separating blood vessels without inserting thread plugs, given the same volume of normal saline), model group (modeling, given the same volume of normal saline), nimodipine group (positive control, modeling, dose of 20 mg/kg), and low-dose, medium-dose, and high-dose groups of Longshengzhi capsules (modeling, doses of 0.72, 1.44 and 2.88 g/kg, respectively), with 10 mice in each group. Each group was given corresponding medication solution/normal saline by gavage, once a day, for 7 consecutive days. One hour after the last administration, the Zea Longa scoring method was used to score the neurological deficits in each group of rats, and the ABC enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to detect the serum levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in rats; TTC staining was used to observe the volume of cerebral infarction in rats and calculate the cerebral infarction volume ratio. Hematoxylin eosin staining was used to observe the pathological changes in the brain tissue of rats. Immunohistochemical staining was used to detect the positive expression of NLRP3 protein in the brain tissue of rats. Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR was used to detect mRNA relative expressions of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) and nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) in the brain tissue of rats. Western blot assay was adopted to detect the relative expressions of TLR4, NLRP3 and phosphorylated NF-κB (p-NF-κB) protein in the brain tissue of rats and its intracellular NF-κB protein. RESULTS Compared with the sham surgery group, the neural dysfunction score, serum levels of TNF-α and IL-6, cerebral infarction volume ratio, relative expression levels of NF-κB and TLR4 mRNA, as well as protein relative expressions of TLR4, NLRP3 and p-NF-κB in the brain tissue, and relative protein expression of intracellular NF-κB were increased significantly in the model group (P<0.01); the enlarged gap and significant edema were observed in cortical nerve cells of brain tissue in rats, with a large amount of inflammatory cell infiltration; the positive expression of NLRP3 protein in brain tissue of rats obviously increased. Compared with the model group, the levels of the above indicators in the medium-dose and high-dose groups of Longshengzhi capsules, as well as the Nimodipine group, were reversed to varying degrees, and most differences were statistically significant (P<0.05 or P<0.01); the pathological morphology observation showed a significant improvement, and the positive expression of NLRP3 protein in the brain tissue of rats was obviously reduced. CONCLUSIONS Longshengzhi capsules may inhibit TLR4/NF-κB/NLRP3 signaling pathway and neuroinflammatory response, thereby achieving a protective effect against cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats.

Objective:To explore the clinical, imaging, and genetic characteristics of an adult patient with sporadic Neuronal intranuclear inclusion disease (NIID).Methods:A patient who had visited the First People′s Hospital of Chenzhou on August 6, 2023 was selected as the study subject. Results of clinical examination, neuroimaging, and genetic testing were retrospectively analyzed along with a literature review. The number of GGC trinucleotide repeats in the 5′-untranslated region of the NOTCH2NLC gene was determined by GC-PCR. Results:The patient had presented with episodic encephalopathy, with enhanced magnetic resonance imaging showing enhancement features of the posterior cerebral cortex during the period of acute episode. Genetic testing revealed an increased number of GGC repeats ( n = 97) in the 5′- untranslated region of the NOTCH2NLC gene, which confirmed the diagnosis of NIID. Conclusion:Clinical attention should be paid to the enhanced MRI findings of patients with adult-onset NIID, for whom posterior cortical enhancement may be characteristic manifestation during the acute phase of encephalopathy-like episode.

Objective:To explore the correlation between structural chromosomal abnormality and clinical characteristics of a child featuring gonadal dysplasia.Methods:A 13-year-old child who was admitted to Lianyungang Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital on February 7, 2023 for primary amenorrhoea and occasional abdominal pain was selected as the study subject. Clinical data of the child was collected, and peripheral blood samples of the child and her parents were collected. G-banding chromosomal karyotyping and copy number variation sequencing (CNV-seq) were carried out. "Pseudodual centromere isochromosome X" and "psu idic(X)" were used as keywords to search the CNKI, Wanfang and PubMed databases, and the search period was set as from January 1, 2002 to June 1, 2023. Relevant literature on the structural abnormality of X chromosome was searched and analyzed retrospectively.Results:The child has a height of 153 cm and weighed 45 kg. She has no obvious facial dysmorphism. Laboratory tests showed that she had higher FSH and luteinizing hormone, and lower E2. Ultrasonography showed that she had small ovaries and rudimentary uterus. She was found to have a karyotype of 46, X, psu idic(X)(q21.3)[40]/mos 45, X[3], whilst both of her parents had a normal karyotype. CNV-seq showed that she had a 63.27 Mb deletion in Xq21.32q28 and a 91.59 Mb duplication in Xp22.33q21.32 (mosaicism rate = 74%). A total of 11 relevant literature were retrieved. Clinical phenotypes of patients with similar structural chromosomal abnormalities were diverse, which was closely related to the mosaicism rate of the 45, X karyotype and the location of the breaking point.Conclusion:46, X, psu idic(X)(q21.3)/45, X probably underlay the dysplasia of uterus and ovary and sex hormone abnormalities in this child, while her height was spared. Deletion of Xq21.32q28 is a key factor leading to Turner syndrome-like phenotype such as rudimentary uterus and ovarian dysplasia.
