AIM: To analyze the modeling characteristics and validation indexes of diabetic retinopathy model, analyze the shortcomings of the present animal experimental modeling, and provide a reference basis for the establishment of the standardization of the diabetic retinopathy model.METHODS: Literatures related to animal experiments on diabetic retinopathy were searched through the databases of CNKI, Wanfang, VIP and PubMed, and the experimental animal species, grade, gender, age, modeling method, modeling period, validation indexes, and other indexes were summarized and analyzed.RESULTS: The 275 papers that met the criteria were included. The animal models of diabetic retinopathy were mainly SD rats and Wistar rats, the sex of the experimental animals was mainly male, and the animal breeds were mostly of the SPF class. The age of most of the animals used was in the range of 6-8 weeks old; the modeling was based on those who established the type 1 diabetes model, mainly using STZ as the induction model. While the type 2 diabetes model was based on the high-fat, high-sugar diet combined with STZ. The modeling criteria were verified by detecting retinal morphology and structure, retinal vascularization, retinal function, and retinal cell apoptosis. In addition, the model was evaluated by detecting abnormal vascular proliferation, oxidative stress indicators, and inflammatory factor levels in retinal tissues, as well as abnormal vascular proliferation and inflammatory factor levels in aqueous humour, vitreous humor, and blood serum.CONCLUSION: Although the animal model of diabetic retinopathy has become a hotspot, the existing review is not comprehensive. Therefore, we summarized and analyzed the elements of the animal model through literature collation, including its characteristics and limitations, and providing methodological references for the establishment of the model, with a view to laying a solid foundation for the subsequent clinical and basic research of traditional Chinese medicine.

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of modified Dahuang Huanglian Xiexintang on mitochondrial autophagy and browning of visceral adipose tissue in obese type 2 diabetes mellitus （T2DM） model ZDF rats. MethodForty ZDF rats were induced with a high-fat diet to establish an obese T2DM model. The rats were randomly divided into five groups： Model group， metformin group （0.18 g·kg^-1）， and high， medium， and low dose groups of modified Dahuang Huanglian Xiexintang （2.16， 1.08， 0.54 g·kg^-1）， with eight rats in each group. Additionally， eight ZDF （fa/+） rats were assigned to the normal group. All groups received an intragastric volume of 10 mL·kg^-1， with the model and normal groups receiving the same volume of purified water once daily for 12 weeks. Fasting blood glucose （FBG） was regularly measured. After 12 weeks of intervention， the body weight， epididymal fat weight， and serum levels of glucose （GLU）， glycated serum protein （GSP）， triglyceride （TG）， total cholesterol （TC）， high-density lipoprotein cholesterol （HDL-C）， and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol （LDL-C） were measured. Hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining was used to observe pathological changes in epididymal fat tissue. Transmission electron microscopy （TEM） was employed to observe mitochondrial autophagy in adipocytes. Real-time PCR was used to detect the mRNA expression of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α （HIF-1α）， Bcl-2/adenovirus E1B 19 kDa interacting protein 3 （BNIP3）， microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3B （LC3B）， p62/SQSTM1， uncoupling protein 1 （UCP1）， iodothyronine deiodinase 2 （Dio2）， and PR domain containing 16 （Prdm16） in epididymal fat. Western blot was used to detect the protein expression of HIF-1α， BNIP3， LC3B， p62， and UCP1 in epididymal fat. ResultCompared with the normal group， the model group showed pathological changes in epididymal fat， with adipocyte mitochondrial condensation and numerous autophagosomes indicating mitochondrial autophagy. The model group also exhibited significantly increased body weight， epididymal fat weight， FBG， GLU， GSP， TC， TG， and LDL-C levels （P<0.01）， significantly decreased HDL-C levels （P<0.01）， significantly elevated mRNA and protein expression of HIF-1α， BNIP3， and LC3B （P<0.01）， significantly reduced mRNA and protein expression of p62 and UCP1 （P<0.01）， and significantly reduced mRNA expression of Dio2 and Prdm16 （P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， all intervention groups showed varying degrees of improvement in epididymal fat pathology. The metformin group and high-dose modified Dahuang Huanglian Xiexintang group displayed intact mitochondrial morphology， clear cristae， uniform matrix， and few autophagosomes and autophagosomes in the adipocyte cytoplasm. The metformin group and high- and medium-dose groups of modified Dahuang Huanglian Xiexintang showed significantly reduced body weight and epididymal fat weight （P<0.01）. The epididymal fat index was reduced in all intervention groups （P<0.05）， and FBG was lowered in all intervention groups （P<0.01）.Serum GSP， GLU， TG， and LDL-C levels were reduced in the metformin group and the high- and medium-dose groups of modified Dahuang Huanglian Xiexintang （P<0.05， P<0.01）. The serum TC level was significantly reduced in the metformin group and high-dose group of modified Dahuang Huanglian Xiexintang （P<0.01）， and HDL-C levels were significantly increased in all intervention groups （P<0.05， P<0.01）. The mRNA and protein expression of HIF-1α， BNIP3， and LC3B were significantly reduced， and UCP1 protein expression was significantly increased in the metformin group and high- and medium-dose groups of modified Dahuang Huanglian Xiexintang （P<0.05， P<0.01）. The mRNA and protein expression of p62， Dio2， and Prdm16 were significantly increased in the metformin group and high-dose group of modified Dahuang Huanglian Xiexintang （P<0.05， P<0.01）. ConclusionModified Dahuang Huanglian Xiexintang may inhibit mitochondrial autophagy and promote the browning of visceral adipose tissue through the HIF-1α/BNIP3/LC3B pathway， thereby improving glucose and lipid metabolism in obese T2DM rats.

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.

Objective:To investigate the effects of repeated high acceleration(+Gz)on implant osseointegration in SD rats.Methods:18 SD rats were divided into+Gz and control groups randomly(n=9),and 1 implant was placed in each femur of the rat's lower limb.24 hours postoperatively,the experimental rats were exposed to+Gz of 4 to 9 G with 1 G/s environment 3 times a week,while the con-trol rats were fed normally.3 rats from each of the 2 groups were sacrificed at 2,4 and 8 weeks after implantation.Micro-CT,sequential fluorescence double labeling,and histological examination were perfomed for the analysis of implant osseointegration.Results:The bone volume fraction(BV/TV),trabecular number(Tb.N),mineral apposition rate(MAR),implant-bone contact rate(BIC)and bone area in implant thread(BA)of the+Gz group were significantly lower than those of the control group at 2 weeks(P＜0.05),and so as to MAR,BA at 4 weeks(P＜0.05),while there was no significant difference of the parameters at 8 weeks after implantation.Conclusion:In SD rats early exposure to+Gz environment postoperatively may have a negative effect on initial osseointegration by slowing bone forma-tion.However,it will not lead to poorer bone mass when sustained over a long period.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of Tangzhi pills on the improvement of insulin resistance （IR） in the liver with type 2 diabetes （T2DM） by regulating phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase （PI3K）/protein kinase B （Akt） signaling pathway based on differential genes and its possible molecular mechanism. MethodT2DM rat models were prepared by high fat （HFD） diet combined with streptozotocin （STZ） intraperitoneal injection. The experiment was divided into blank group， model group， metformin hydrochloride group （0.18 g·kg^-1）， Tangzhi pills high （1.08 g·kg^-1）， medium （0.54 g·kg^-1） and low （0.27 g·kg^-1） dose groups. Rat serum， liver， and pancreatic tissue were collected， and the pathological tissue of the liver and pancreas was observed using hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining. The fasting blood glucose level （FBG） was detected， and oral glucose tolerance （OGTT） tests were conducted. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA） was used to detect fasting serum insulin （FINS） and glycated hemoglobin （GHb） levels in rats. IR homeostasis model index （HOMA-IR）， β cellular homeostasis index （HOMA-β）， and insulin sensitivity index （ISI） were calculated. Biochemical methods were used to determine the levels of triglyceride （TG）， total cholesterol （TC）， low-density lipoprotein （LDL-C）， and high-density lipoprotein （HDL-C） in rat serum. Transcriptomics obtained differentially expressed mRNA from liver tissue and enriched differentially expressed pathways. Real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR） was used to detect the mRNA expression of cyclic adenylate responsive element binding protein 3-like protein 2 antibody （CREB3l2）， B-lymphocyte tumor 2 （Bcl-2）， Toll-like receptor 2 （TLR2）， cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 1A （CDNK1A）， and DNA damage induced transcription factor 4-like protein （DDIT4） in liver tissue. Western blot was used to detect the protein expression of phosphorylated phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase （p-PI3K）， phosphorylated protein kinase B （p-Akt）， glucose transporter 4 （GLUT4）， insulin receptor （INSR）， and insulin receptor substrate 2 （IRS2）. ResultThe pharmacodynamic experiment results showed that compared with model group， Tangzhi pills groups repaired liver and pancreatic tissue to varying degrees， reduced blood sugar （P<0.01）， and promoted a decrease in serum FINS， GHb， and HOMA-IR （P<0.05， P<0.01）. In addition， HOMA-β and ISI increased （P<0.05， P<0.01）. The levels of TC， TG， and LDL-C decreased （P<0.05， P<0.01）， while the levels of HDL-C increased （P<0.05， P<0.01）. The transcriptomics experimental results confirmed that the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway was significantly expressed in both the blank group and model group， as well as in the high-dose Tangzhi pills group and model group. CDNK1A， DDIT4， CREB3l2， Bcl-2， and TLR2 were significantly differentially expressed mRNA during TG intervention in T2DM. Compared with the model group， the protein expression of p-PI3K， p-Akt， GLUT4， INSR， and IRS2 increased in all Tangzhi pills groups （P<0.01）. The mRNA expression of CREB3l2， Bcl-2， and TLR2 increased （P<0.01）， while that of CDNK1A and DDIT4 decreased （P<0.01）. ConclusionTangzhi pills may regulate the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway based on the differential mRNA expression of CREB3l2， Bcl-2， TLR2， CDNK1A， and DDIT4， thereby improving IR in the liver with T2DM.
