Oxidative stress is a pivotal factor in the onset and progression of diabetic kidney disease （DKD）， and it plays an essential role in the prevention and treatment of DKD. The "Gaozhuo" pathogenesis posits that DKD is characterized by the invasion of Gaozhuo and damage to the kidney collaterals， with the underlying cause being the insufficiency of spleen Qi and the internal formation of Gaozhuo， which provides valuable guidance on oxidative stress. The insufficiency of spleen Qi and the internal formation of Gaozhuo represent a dynamic， evolving process. Gaozhuo invades the kidney collaterals， impairs kidney Qi， and progressively leads to the congealing and stagnation of Gaozhuo and blood， ultimately resulting in the failure of both the spleen and kidneys. The damage caused by Gaozhuo to the kidney collaterals and kidney Qi is analogous to the organ and functional damage of the kidneys induced by excessive reactive oxygen species and oxidative stress. Damage to the kidney collaterals means organic injuries to the glomeruli， renal tubules， and renal interstitium， and the depletion of kidney Qi refers to damage to glomerular filtration and renal tubular reabsorption. The congealing and stagnation of Gaozhuo and blood in the kidney collaterals is similar to oxidative stress-induced thickening of the glomerular basement membrane and fibrosis. The interaction between spleen and kidney Qi deficiency and the congealing and stagnation of Gaozhuo and blood creates a vicious cycle that exacerbates the condition， ultimately evolving into the failure of both the spleen and kidneys. The failure of the spleen and kidneys is analogous to renal failure， and its extreme manifestation is end-stage renal disease and uremia. The treatment of oxidative stress in DKD with traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） is based on the principles of strengthening the spleen and tonifying the kidneys， and dispelling turbidity and removing blood stasis. According to the syndrome type， it is recommended to use methods such as strengthening the spleen and tonifying Qi while dispelling dampness and removing turbidity， strengthening the spleen and tonifying the kidneys while dispelling dampness and removing turbidity， strengthening the spleen and tonifying the kidneys while dispelling turbidity and removing blood stasis， or consolidating the spleen and kidneys while clearing away turbidity and blood stasis.

Diabetic cardiomyopathy （DCM） is one of the most common complications of diabetes mellitus and is a major threat to global health. As a key mechanism in the occurrence and progression of DCM， the inflammatory response persists throughout the entire course of the DCM. The Gaozhuo theory suggests that the basic pathogenesis of inflammatory injury in DCM is the Qi deficiency of spleen and kidney and Gaozhuo invasion， and divides the pathological process into three phases： Gaozhuo invasion， turbid heat damage to the channels， and turbid blood stasis and heat junction. Among them， the Qi deficiency of spleen and kidney and the endogenous formation of Gaozhuo represent the process of inflammatory factor formation induced by glucose metabolism disorders. Turbid heat damage to the channels refers to the process of myocardial inflammatory injury mediated by inflammatory factors， and turbid blood stasis and heat junction are the process of myocardial injury developing toward myocardial fibrosis and ventricular remodeling. As the disease continues to progress， it eventually develops into a depletion of the heart Yang， leading to the ultimate regression of heart failure. According to the theory of Gaozhuo， traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） should regulate inflammatory injury in DCM by strengthening the spleen and tonifying the kidney to address the root cause， and resolving dampness and lowering turbidity to treat the symptoms. If the turbidity has been stored for a long time and turns into heat， strengthening the spleen and tonifying the kidney， and clearing heat and resolving turbidity should be the therapy. If the turbidity， stasis， and heat are knotted in the heart and collaterals， strengthening the spleen and tonifying the kidney， and resolving stasis and lowering turbidity should be the therapy. TCM compounds and monomers can regulate the inflammatory response in DCM. TCM compounds can be divided into the categories for benefiting Qi to resolve turbidity， benefiting Qi and clearing heat to resolve turbidity， and benefiting Qi and activating blood to reduce turbidity. The compounds can inhibit upstream signals of inflammation and expression of inflammatory factors， improve the inflammatory damage to myocardium and blood vessels， myocardial fibrosis， and cardiac systole and diastole， and thus slow down the onset and progression of DCM.

Retinal microcirculatory disorder is a key factor in the occurrence and development of diabetic retinopathy （DR）， and also an important link in the prevention and treatment of DR. The theory of "Gaozhuo" holds that the microcirculatory disorder in DR is based on the deficiency of spleen Qi and is characterized by the obstruction caused by "Gaozhuo" and blood stasis. The deficiency of spleen Qi is an essential precondition for the endogenous formation and accumulation of Gaozhuo， while Gaozhuo invasion is the direct cause of microcirculatory disorders in DR. The deficiency of spleen Qi and the endogenous formation of Gaozhuo mean the process in which glucose metabolism dysfunction induces an excessive production of inflammatory factors and lipid metabolites. The obstruction caused by "Gaozhuo" and blood stasis is the direct pathogenesis of microcirculatory disorders in DR， encompassing two stages： Gaozhuo obstruction and turbidity and stasis stagnation. Gaozhuo obstruction and turbidity and stasis stagnation represent the process in which inflammatory factors and lipid metabolites damage the retinal microcirculation and induce thrombosis， thus mediating microcirculatory disorders. Turbidity and stasis stagnation and blood extravasation outside the vessels reveal the progression to microvascular rupture and hemorrhage resulting from the microcirculatory disorders. According to the pathogenesis evolution of the theory of "Gaozhuo"， microcirculatory disorders in DR can be divided into deficiency of spleen Qi with Gaozhuo obstruction， deficiency of spleen Qi with turbidity and stasis stagnation， and turbidity and stasis stagnation with blood extravasation outside the vessels. Clinically， treatment principles should focus on strengthening the spleen and benefiting Qi， resolving turbidity， and dispersing stasis. Different syndrome patterns should be addressed with tailored therapies， such as enhancing the spleen and benefiting Qi while regulating Qi and reducing turbidity， strengthening the spleen and benefiting Qi while resolving turbidity and dispelling stasis， and strengthening the spleen and resolving turbidity while removing stasis and stopping bleeding.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease （NAFLD） is one of the most common complications of type 2 diabetes mellitus （T2DM）， and hepatic stellate cell （HSC） activation is the key link in the progression of NAFLD to liver fibrosis. According to the theory of "Gaozhuo"， spleen deficiency and Qi stagnation， along with Gaozhuo invasion， are the causes of NAFLD progression to liver fibrosis， which reveals the pathogenesis essence of HSC activation in traditional Chinese medicine （TCM）. Among them， spleen deficiency and Qi stagnation are the root causes of the endogenous formation of Gaozhuo. Spleen deficiency indicates the insulin sensitivity decrease and glucose metabolism disorders， and Qi stagnation means the dysregulation of hepatic glucose and lipid metabolism， which creates the preconditions for HSC activation. Gaozhuo invasion is the direct cause of HSC activation， including three stages： Internal retention of Gaozhuo， turbidity and stasis stagnation， and toxic stasis and consolidation. Internal retention of Gaozhuo refers to the abnormal metabolism and deposition of hepatic lipids， as well as the microcirculatory disorders. Turbidity and stasis stagnation is the process by which lipotoxicity stimulates the transformation of HSC into myofibroblast （MFB）， and toxic stasis and consolidation represent the secretion of a large amount of extracellular matrix （ECM） by MFB to promote the fibrosis. According to the theory of Gaozhuo and the activation process of HSC， syndromes for T2DM combined with NAFLD can be classified into spleen deficiency and Qi stagnation with internal retention of Gaozhuo， spleen Qi deficiency with turbidity and stasis stagnation， and spleen Qi deficiency with toxic stasis and consolidation. Clinically， the treatment principle is to strengthen the spleen and promote Qi， resolve turbidity， and eliminate blood stasis. Both TCM compounds and monomers can effectively inhibit the HSC activation. TCM compounds can be classified into categories for regulating spleen and harmonizing liver， resolving turbidity and removing stasis， and detoxifying and removing stasis. They mainly work by improving lipid metabolism， reducing lipid accumulation in the liver， alleviating inflammatory and oxidative stress responses， inhibiting the activation and proliferation of HSC， and reducing ECM deposition， thereby delaying the progression of liver fibrosis.

ObjectiveTo investigate the difference in the risk of cardiovascular diseases between patients with different subtypes of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease （NAFLD） from the perspective of metabolism， since cardiovascular events induced by metabolic disorders are the leading cause of death in NAFLD. MethodsThe cluster sampling method was used to conduct a multicenter cross-sectional study among three representative hospitals in Pudong New Area of Shanghai， China. A total of 37 122 sets of physical examination data from July 2022 to June 2023 were collected and stratified according to body mass index （BMI）. The chi-square test was used for comparison of continuous data between groups， and a multivariable Logistic regression analysis was used to investigate the association between NAFLD subtypes and cardiometabolic risk factors. ResultsA total of 9 372 cases of NAFLD were detected， with a detection rate of 25.25%， and more than 97% of these patients were diagnosed with metabolic associated fatty liver disease （MAFLD）. The subgroup analysis showed that the detection rates of lean， overweight， and obese NAFLD were 7.72%， 33.99%， and 63.56%， respectively. Compared with the patients with lean or overweight NAFLD， the patients with obese NAFLD showed a significantly higher proportion of patients with abnormalities in blood pressure， blood glucose， triglyceride （TG）， high-density lipoprotein （HDL） or uric acid （all P<0.001）. Among related risk factors， lean NAFLD was associated with the increase in total cholesterol （TC）（P<0.05）， while overweight NAFLD and obese NAFLD were not associated with TC abnormalities （P>0.05）； obese NAFLD was not associated with TG abnormalities， while lean NAFLD and overweight NAFLD were associated with TG abnormalities （both P<0.05）； all types of NAFLD were associated with the abnormalities of waist-hip ratio， blood pressure， blood glucose， low-density lipoprotein， HDL， and uric acid （all P<0.05）. ConclusionThe detection rates of different subtypes of NAFLD in Shanghai Pudong are close to those reported in China and globally， and the epidemiologic data of NAFLD can be used analogously for MAFLD. There are certain differences in the distribution and association of cardiometabolic risk factors between different subtypes of NAFLD， and targeted interventions should be formulated based on the metabolic characteristics of each type of NAFLD.

Objective: To explore the association of physical activity and sugar sweetened beverage consumption with psychological sub health among middle school students in Bao an District, Shenzhen, so as to provide a reference for adolescent mental health promotion. Methods: A questionnaire survey was conducted in November 2024 by a stratified cluster random sampling method to select 6 926 junior and senior middle school students from 5 middle schools in Shenzhen. The questionnaire from Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System was used to assess the consumption of sugar sweetened beverages, and physical activity Rating Scale was used to assess the level of physical activity, and Brief Instrument on Psychological Health of Youths was used to evaluate the psychological sub health status. The Chi -square test was used to analyze the differences in the detection rates of psychological sub health among different groups of middle school students, and a multivariate Logistic regression model was established to analyze the effects of physical activity and sugar sweetened beverage consumption and their combined effects on the psychological sub health of middle school students. Results: The detection rate of psychological sub health among middle school students in Bao an District, Shenzhen was 18.93%. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that, after controlling for confounding factors such as gender, school stage, family residence, family economic status, parental literacy, academic stress and number of friends, lack of physical activity or excessive sugar sweetened beverage consumption were associated with increased risks of psychological sub health among middle school students ( OR =1.36, 1.45); and the highest risk of psychological sub health was found in middle school students who were lack of physical activity and excessive sugar sweetened beverage consumption ( OR =2.59) ( P <0.01). Further analysis by school stages showed that junior high school students with sufficient physical activity and excessive intake of sugary drinks ( ROR =2.10), lack of physical activity and excessive intake of sugary drinks ( ROR =2.31) were at higher risks of psychological sub health than senior high school students( P <0.05). Conclusions Insufficient physical activity and excessive sugar sweetened beverage consumption are closely associated with an increased risk of psychological sub health among middle school students. Effective interventions should be targeted to reduce the risk of psychological sub health problems among middle school students.

Osteoporosis （OP） is a systemic metabolic disease with a strong correlation with age. The prevalence of osteoporosis is rising annually as a consequence of the growing issue of population ageing. The current treatments for OP have numerous shortcomings. In contrast， traditional Chinese medicine has a long history and a rich species diversity. Furthermore， recent years have seen an increase in the number of studies examining the anti-OP properties of traditional Chinese medicine. This may provide a safe and effective alternative strategy for the treatment of OP. The zebrafish， due to its favourable optical transparency and high homology with human genes， has been extensively employed as an animal research model in the investigation of human skeletal-related disease mechanisms and drug screening. This paper presents a review of anti-osteoporosis studies of traditional Chinese medicine using zebrafish as a model for osteoporosis. It also provides a summary of the experimental evaluation methods involved in such studies， an analysis of the current status of traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of osteoporosis using zebrafish as a model， and a summary of the mechanism of action and the signalling pathways involved in traditional Chinese medicine in the anti-osteoporosis treatment of zebrafish. The current research status of Chinese medicine in the treatment of OP was analysed， as well as the mechanism of action of Chinese medicine against OP and the signalling pathways involved. Furthermore， the advantages and disadvantages of various zebrafish modelling methods of OP were compared with those of traditional animal models. The objective of this study is to provide a reference for the evaluation method of the zebrafish model in the study of bone-related diseases， as well as for the study of the mechanism of action of traditional Chinese medicine against OP and for the reference of the research and development of new drugs.

OBJECTIVE To establish a quantitative analysis of multi-components by single-marker （QAMS） method for simultaneous determination of six flavonoids and two phenolic acids in Perilla frutescens leaves using scutellarin and rosmarinic acid as internal reference substances， and apply this method to determine the contents of eight components in 20 batches of P. frutescens leaves samples from different regions. METHODS Scutellarin served as the internal reference to calculate relative correction factors （RCFs） for scutellarin-7-O-diglucuronide， luteolin-7-O-diglucuronide， apigenin-7-O-diglucuronide， luteolin-7-O- β-D-glucuronide and apigenin-7-O-glucuronide. Rosmarinic acid was employed as the internal reference to determine the RCF for caffeic acid. The contents of the above flavonoids and phenolic acids were calculated with QAMS， and compared with the results of external standard method. RESULTS The eight analytes demonstrated excellent linearity within their respective concentration ranges （r≥0.999 0）. The mean recovery rates for spiked samples ranged from 95.60% to 102.15%， with relative standard deviations （RSDs） of 0.72% to 2.70% （n＝6）. The method exhibited good precision， repeatability， and stability （RSD＜2.50%， n＝6）. Variations in instruments， columns， column temperature， flow rate， and formic acid volume fraction had minimal impact on the RCFs （RSD＜3%， n＝3）. Comparison with the external standard method showed no significant differences in the content of each component across batches， except for caffeic acid in the ZS12 batch （absolute value of RE＜5%， n＝2）. The contents of six CARS-21） flavonoid components in P. frutescens leaves samples varied significantly across different geographic origins， while the content of total flavonoids showed no significant difference. In contrast， the contents of two phenolic acid components and total phenolic acid exhibited significant variation among samples from different regions. CONCLUSIONS The developed QAMS method can simultaneously determine the contents of six flavonoids and two phenolic acids in P. frutescens leaves. It is convenient for detection， highly accurate， and cost-effective. This method is suitable for the quality control of P. frutescens leaves， and the variation of flavonoid and phenolic acid content in samples from different regions provides a reference for the selection of optimal cultivation areas.

Objective: To systematically review the effect of physical activity (PA) on health related quality of life (HRQoL) among children and adolescents and the magnitude of association, so as to provide an evidence based support for optimizing health promotion strategies for children and adolescents. Methods: Medline (PubMed), EMBASE, the Cochrane Library, SCIELO, PEDro, CNKI, Wanfang and VIP databases were searched to collect literature on PA and HRQoL in children and adolescents, which were published up to January 1, 2025. Cochrane ROB tool and specific evaluation system were used to assess literature quality, Stata 16.0 software was used for Meta analysis. For descriptive studies, correlation( r ) and 95% confidence interval( CI ) were used as effect indicators, and the inverse variance method was used to merge the data. Standardized mean difference( SMD ) and 95% CI were used to calculate the combined effect size of intervention studies. Results: A total of 22 studies involving 27 303 healthy children and adolescents were included, including 9 descriptive studies and 13 intervention studies. The results of descriptive analysis showed that PA level was positively correlated with HRQoL ( r =0.27, 95% CI =0.21-0.32, P <0.01). The analysis of intervention studies showed that PA had significant effects on overall HRQoL ( SMD =0.10, 95% CI =0.05-0.16), physical functioning ( SMD =0.16, 95% CI =0.08-0.23), and mental functioning ( SMD =0.17, 95% CI =0.10-0.25)( P <0.01). Subgroup analysis found that the effects of physical activity on overall HRQoL, physiological function, and psychological function in children and adolescents were maximized when the intervention duration was less than 6 months ( SMD =0.13, 0.18, 0.20), the frequency was≥5 times per week ( SMD =0.13, 0.19, 0.24) and there was a supplementary plan( SMD =0.10, 0.18, 0.23)( P <0.01). Conclusion PA is an important factor affecting the HRQoL of healthy children and adolescents, and the systematic PA intervention has a effect on improving the HRQoL.
