Parkinson's disease （PD） is a chronic progressive neurodegenerative disorder primarily characterized by motor dysfunction. The main pathological features include the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra， abnormal aggregation of alpha-Synuclein （α-Syn）， and the formation of Lewy bodies. However， the exact mechanisms remain unclear. In recent years， the PD incidence has gradually increased， while current treatment methods are limited to symptom alleviation， incapable of halting disease progression， and prone to adverse effects， thus making it urgent to search for medicines effective for PD. Modern research indicates that the Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 （Keap1）/nuclear factor E₂ related factor 2 （Nrf2）/antioxidant response element （ARE） signaling pathway is closely related to oxidative stress， neuroinflammation， apoptosis， ferroptosis， and mitochondrial dysfunction， playing a crucial role in the pathophysiological development of PD. A large number of studies have further confirmed that traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） can regulate diseases through a holistic view of Syndrome differentiation and microscopic molecular pathways. With unique advantages， such as multiple targets， multiple pathways， and fewer adverse reactions， TCM provides a new strategy for PD treatment. This article elucidates the mechanism of the Keap1/Nrf2/ARE signaling pathway in the occurrence and development of PD， while summarizing the latest research on PD intervention by TCM monomers， active ingredients， and compounds， as well as acupuncture via the precise targeted regulation of the Keap1/Nrf2/ARE pathway， aiming to provide a reference for clinical medicine development to prevent and treat PD.

Objective: To define the mechanism by which swine TRIM25 restricts vesicular stomatitis virus replication. Methods: Porcine 3D4/21 cells with TRIM25 overexpression or knockdown were infected with vesicular stomatitis virus. Viral replication was quantified by immunoblotting, quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction, and 50% tissue culture infectious dose assays. Type I interferon signaling was assessed by transcript quantification, interferon-beta and interferon-stimulated response element reporter assays, and co-immunoprecipitation.Viral RNA binding was tested by RNA immunoprecipitation. Results: TRIM25 overexpression reduced viral RNA and infectious titers, whereas TRIM25 knockdown increased replication (p < 0.01). TRIM25 increased interferon-beta and interferon-stimulated gene expression and enhanced interferon-beta and interferonstimulated response element promoter activity (p < 0.01). Mechanistically, TRIM25 promoted Lys63-linked ubiquitination of RIG-I and increased phosphorylation of TANK-binding kinase 1 and interferon regulatory factor 3. TRIM25 also bound vesicular stomatitis virus genomic RNA, and binding required the C-terminal region. Conclusions and Relevance: Porcine TRIM25 restricts vesicular stomatitis virus replication by amplifying type I interferon signaling and directly binding viral RNA.

Based on the theory of collateral disease， the treatment of late-stage sequela of cerebrovascular disease is considered to be primarily associated with deficiency and obstruction of cerebral collaterals and dysfunction of the spirit mechanism. Therefore， the fundamental therapeutic principle is to unblock and supplement the brain collaterals. Clinically， the late-stage sequelae of cerebrovascular disease are classified into four patterns， which are malnourishment， deficiency-heat， stasis obstruction， and phlegm clouding of brain collaterals. These are treated respectively with Tiansui Tongqiao Decoction （填髓通窍汤） to supplement essence and nourish the brain through moistening， unblocking and supplementing， Qingnao Touluo Decoction （清脑透络汤） to enrich yin， regulate spirit， and unblock collaterals through clearing and penetrating， Yiqi Tongluo Decoction （益气通络汤） to tonify qi and resolve stasis while softening tendons and unblocking collaterals， and Xinrun Touqiao Beverage （辛润透窍饮） to unblock and tonify yin and yang while unblocking the collaterals through acrid-moistening medicinals. Flexible modification of prescriptions according to individual symptoms was applied， resulting in favorable therapeutic outcomes.

This article summarizes the clinical experience in diagnosing and treating narcolepsy based on the wei qi theory. The key pathogenesis of narcolepsy is considered to be the disharmony of wei qi. In the initial stage， lung， spleen， and kidney deficiency leads to insufficient generation and propulsion of wei qi. In the progressive stage， phlegm-damp and qi stagnation obstruct sanjiao （三焦）， while the interstice of flesh is unrelaxed， and the skin pores are occluded， causing sluggish circulation of wei qi. In the attack stage， pathogens obstruct the upper jiao （焦）， whereas pectoral qi fails to diffuse， and wei qi becomes constrained and blocked in the yin aspect， which may transform into wind or heat and bind with phlegm and stasis， resulting in sudden excessive sleep， cataplexy， dream disturbance， hallucinations， and sleep paralysis. Accordingly， a three-stage differentiation and treatment strategy is proposed， including reinforcing the root and strengthening wei qi in the initial stage with Peiben Shiwei Decoction （培本实卫汤）， resolving phlegm and unblocking the pathways to smooth the flow of wei qi in the progressive stage with Tongjiao Dawei Decoction （通焦达卫汤）， and diffusing wei qi， awakening the spirit， and opening the upper jiao in the attack stage with Xuanwei Xingshen Decoction （宣卫醒神汤）. Clinically， treatment should distinguish deficiency from excess， the primary from the secondary， administer staged and dynamic treatments， and make good use of light， clear， ascending， dispersing， acrid， and aromatic medicinals to restore the movement of wei qi， thereby providing a reference for differentiation and treatment of narcolepsy in traditional Chinese medicine.

AIM:To evaluate the pharmacokinet-ics(PK)and pharmacodynamics(PD)of two recom-binant human insulin injection by euglycemic clamp technology in healthy male subjects after a single subcutaneous injection.METHODS:We con-ducted a randomized,open-label,single dose,two period,crossover study.A total of 24 healthy male subjects were enrolled and randomized to receive single subcutaneous doses(0.2 U/kg)of the investi-gational products every period.The PK and PD characteristics were assessed by euglycemic clamp up to 14 hours after dosing.RESULTS:Euglycemic clamp technique was successfully established.C-peptide levels detected at each time point before and after administration indicated that endoge-nous insulin secretion was inhibited in the two groups after administration.The geometric mean ratio of Cmax and AUC0-tand 90％confidence interval(CI)of test preparation and reference preparation under fasting condition were in the range of 80.00％-125.00％.CONCLUSION:The human insulin produced by KP Biotech demonstrated similarity to the reference preparation Humulin? in PK and PD characteristics in healthy Chinese subjects.
