Posterior capsule opacification(PCO)is a common postoperative complication of cataract surgery, primarily caused by the proliferation and migration of residual lens epithelial cells(LECs). Although neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet(Nd:YAG)laser posterior capsulotomy effectively treats PCO, it carries risks of complications such as cystoid macular edema(CME). Thus, preventing PCO formation is of critical clinical importance. Despite advancements in intraocular lens(IOL)materials and designs, achieving complete PCO eradication remains challenging. This review systematically examines recent advancements in surface-modified IOLs, including anti-biofouling IOL(reducing LECs adhesion), capsular adhesion-enhanced IOL(promoting capsular bag integration), micro-patterned IOL(physically inhibiting migration), photothermal/photodynamic IOL(inducing light-activated LECs apoptosis), and drug-eluting IOL(sustained drug release). These surface modification strategies demonstrate synergistic effects through complementary mechanisms(including physical barrier formation, chemical intervention, and bioactive regulation), effectively suppressing LECs proliferation while significantly reducing PCO incidence. Importantly, these approaches eliminate the risks associated with conventional Nd:YAG laser treatment, offering substantial advantages. By providing a comprehensive evaluation of these cutting-edge technologies, this review serves as a valuable reference for IOL design optimization. It represents a paradigm shift in cataract management strategies, transitioning from reactive therapeutic interventions to proactive preventive measures, and ultimately leads to improving long-term visual outcomes for patients.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is based on insulin resistance (IR) and insulin secretion deficiency, with the specific mechanisms still unclear. Current research involves mechanisms such as glycolipid toxicity, inflammatory response, oxidative stress damage, and mitochondrial dysfunction. Modern traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) scholars have named it "blood glucose collateral disease" based on the clinical characteristics and natural progression of T2DM. This condition is primarily manifested as abnormal blood sugar levels in the early stages, and as the disease progresses, it gradually causes widespread damage to the body's veins and collaterals, ultimately leading to lesions in vessels and collaterals. Among these, "spleen heat" (obesity type) is the most common clinical type of T2DM. The concept of "internal heat-induced elimination" runs through both the onset and complications of T2DM, with internal heat being a key factor in its pathogenesis. The clinical application of Dahuang Huanglian Xiexintang and its modifications has achieved significant therapeutic effects. This paper reviews the origins and treatment characteristics of Dahuang Huanglian Xiexintang, along with clinical application research and experimental studies related to T2DM treatment, involving mechanisms for regulating glucose and lipid metabolism disorders, improving IR, modulating inflammatory responses, combating oxidative stress damage, regulating autophagy-related signaling pathways, modulating intestinal flora, inhibiting pyroptosis, and alleviating endoplasmic reticulum stress, with the purpose to provide direction for further research on the prevention and treatment of T2DM and its related complications, to offer reference for developing Dahuang Huanglian Xiexintang as a rapid hypoglycemic Chinese patent medicine for obese T2DM, and to better guide the clinical promotion of this drug.

ObjectiveTo validate the alleviating effect of Gegen Qinliantang (GGQLT) on insulin resistance in db/db diabetic mice by regulating the silent information regulator 1 (SIRT1)/forkhead transcription factor O1 (FoxO1) autophagy pathway. MethodSeventy-five SPF-grade spontaneous type 2 diabetic db/db mice and 15 control db/m mice were selected and maintained on regular feed for one week before measuring blood glucose. They were randomly divided into six groups, with 15 mice in each group. The groups included a normal group (physiological saline, 0.2 g·kg-1), a metformin group (0.2 g·kg-1), high-, medium-, and low-dose GGQLT groups (31.9, 19.1, 6.9 g·kg-1), and a model group (physiological saline, 0.2 g·kg-1). They were orally treated with corresponding drugs for eight weeks, once daily. Fasting blood glucose (FBG) was measured using a Roche glucometer. Serum levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), triglyceride (TG), and total cholesterol (TC) were measured using an automated biochemical analyzer. Fasting serum insulin (INS) levels were determined using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and the homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) was calculated. Western blot was used to detect the expression of Beclin-1, microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 (LC3), and SIRT1/FoxO1 autophagy pathway-related proteins in liver tissues. Immunohistochemistry was performed to assess the expression of SIRT1, FoxO1, Beclin-1, and LC3B proteins in liver tissues. Transmission electron microscopy was used to observe the formation of autophagosomes in the liver. ResultCompared with the normal group, the model group showed significant increases in FBG, FINS, HOMA-IR, TC, TG, LDL-C, and HDL-C levels (P<0.01), and significant increases in the expression of SIRT1, Beclin-1, LC3, and FoxO1 proteins in liver tissues (P<0.01). Transmission electron microscopy revealed the highest number of autophagosomes in the model group. Compared with the model group, the metformin group and the low-, medium-, and high-dose GGQLT groups showed significant decreases in serum FBG, FINS, HOMA-IR, TC, TG, LDL-C, and HDL-C levels (P<0.05, P<0.01), significant decreases in the expression of SIRT1, Beclin-1, LC3 (P<0.05, P<0.01), and up-regulated FoxO1 protein (P<0.01). Transmission electron microscopy showed a reduction in the degree of autophagy in the treatment groups. Compared with the metformin group, the medium- and high-dose GGQLT groups showed significant decreases in FBG, FINS, and TG levels (P<0.01), significant decreases in the expression of SIRT1, Beclin-1, and LC3 in liver tissues (P<0.05, P<0.01), and reduced FoxO1 protein (P<0.01). The high-dose GGQLT group showed reduced HOMA-IR, TC, LDL-C, and HDL-C levels (P<0.05, P<0.01). Transmission electron microscopy revealed a significant reduction in autophagosomes in the medium- and high-dose GGQLT groups. ConclusionGGQLT can significantly improve glucose and lipid metabolism disorders, alleviate insulin resistance in db/db mice, and prevent and treat type 2 diabetes by activating the SIRT1/FoxO1 autophagy pathway.

Objective:To investigate the changes of intestinal microecology in the early stage of sepsis rat model by 16S rDNA sequencing.Methods:Sixty male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) group and sham operation group (Sham group), with 30 rats in each group. In the CLP group, sepsis rat model was reproduced by CLP method; the rats in the Sham group only underwent laparotomy without CLP. At 24 hours after the operation, the intestinal feces and serum samples of 8 rats in each group were collected. The survival rate of the rest rats was observed until the 7th day. The level of serum tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Intestinal feces were sequenced by 16S rDNA sequencing technology. The operational taxonomic unit (OTU) data obtained after sequence comparison and clustering was used for α diversity and β diversity analysis, principal coordinate analysis and linear discriminant analysis effect size analysis (LEfSe) to observe the changes of intestinal microecology in early sepsis rats and excavate the marker flora.Results:At 24 hours after the reproduction of the model, the rats in the CLP group showed shortness of breath, scattered hair and other manifestations, and the level of serum TNF-α increased significantly as compared with that in the Sham group (ng/L: 43.95±9.05 vs. 11.08±3.27, P < 0.01). On the 7th day after modeling, the cumulative survival rate of the Sham group was 100%, while that of the CLP group was 31.82%. Diversity analysis showed that there was no significant difference in α diversity parameter between the Sham group and the CLP group (number of species: 520.00±52.15 vs. 492.25±86.61, Chao1 richness estimator: 707.25±65.69 vs. 668.93±96.50, Shannon index: 5.74±0.42 vs. 5.79±0.91, Simpson index: 0.93±0.03 vs. 0.94±0.05, all P > 0.05). However, the β diversity analysis showed that the difference between groups was greater than that within groups whether weighted according to OTU or not (abundance weighted matrix: R = 0.23, P = 0.04; abundance unweighted matrix: R = 0.32, P = 0.01). At the phylum level, the abundance of Proteobacteria and Candidatus_sacchari in the CLP group increased significantly as compared with the Sham group [18.100% (15.271%, 26.665%) vs. 6.974% (2.854%, 9.764%), 0.125% (0.027%, 0.159%)% vs. 0.018% (0.008%, 0.021%), both P < 0.05]. At the genus level, the abundance of opportunistic pathogen including Helicobacter, Ruthenium, Streptococcus, Clostridium ⅩⅧ in the CLP group was significantly higher than that in the Sham group [5.090% (1.812%, 6.598%) vs. 0.083% (0.034%, 0.198%), 0.244% (0.116%, 0.330%) vs. 0.016% (0.008%, 0.029%), 0.006% (0.003%, 0.010%) vs. 0.001% (0%, 0.003%), 0.094% (0.035%, 0.430%) vs. 0.007% (0.003%, 0.030%), all P < 0.05], and the abundance of probiotics such as Alloprevotella and Romboustia was significantly lower than that in the Sham group [7.345% (3.662%, 11.546%) vs. 22.504% (14.403%, 26.928%), 0.113% (0.047%, 0.196%) vs. 1.229% (0.809%, 2.29%), both P < 0.01]. LEfSe analysis showed that the probiotics belonging to Firmicutes were significantly enriched in the Sham group, and Romboustia was the most significantly enriched species. Opportunistic pathogens such as Helicobacter, Streptococcus and Clostridium ⅩⅧ were significantly enriched in the CLP group, Helicobacter_NGSU_ 2015 was the most significantly enriched species. Conclusion:In the early stage of sepsis, the intestinal microbiota structure of rats is significantly changed, which mainly shows that the abundance of Alloprevotella and other probiotics is significantly reduced, while that of Helicobacter and other opportunistic pathogens is significantly increased.

Objective:To evaluate the strategy and skills of reoperation for recurrent carcinoma at the stoma of esophagojejunostomy after total gastrectomy.Methods:The management experience in 18 patients at the Department of General Surgery, Tumor Hospital of Zhengzhou University from Oct 2016 to Jul 2021 were analyzed retrospectively.Results:Thirteen patients underwent left thoracoabdominal combined incision to completely remove the tumor.One patient developed anastomotic leakage, two patients developed pulmonary infection, one patient developed costochondritis, all were cured and discharged after conservative treatment; Nine patients had no postoperative complications. Two patients abandoned surgery due to high position of the tumor, 3 patients due to poor cardiopulmonary function, and were given radiotherapy and chemotherapy.The postoperative follow-up period was 4.6 to 42.9 months. Four patients died of tumor recurrence, and the remaining patients survived until the end of the follow-up. The overall 1-and 3-year recurrence-free survival rates were 100% and 20%, respectively.Conclusion:Surgery on recurrent carcinoma at esophagojejunostomy stoma after total gastrectomy, although difficult and challenging,could still benefit most patients when at the hands of expertise.
