Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy (DPN) is one of the most common and harmful complications of type 2 diabetes. DPN's pathogenesis include high blood sugar-induced oxidative stress, inflammation, and mitochondrial dysfunction. These factors are combined to damage nerve fibers, leading to sensory issues, pain, and numbness. Through a coordinated effect, these factors trigger nerve fiber damage and lead to sensory abnormalities, pain and numbness in limbs, and other symptoms, seriously restricting patients' activities of daily living and mobility. Recent research highlights that cellular senescence plays a critical role in DPN. Cellular senescence is manifested by the loss of cell proliferation ability, and further aggravates nerve damage via oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, autophagy impairment, inflammatory reaction, and other mechanisms, accelerating DPN occurrence and progression. In terms of medical treatment, current methods focus on blood sugar control, pain relief medicine, and microcirculation improvement, while no therapy has been developed based on cellular senescence. In contrast, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) shows a unique advantage in DPN prevention and treatment via cellular senescence modulation. TCM emphasizes a holistic approach, as well as syndrome differentiation and treatment, effective in anti-aging and nerve damage repair. Recent studies show that TCM active ingredients, including puerarin, ginsenosides, and berberine, can reduce inflammation, oxidative stress, and apoptosis via signaling pathway regulation, thereby slowing cellular senescence to alleviate nerve damage. Furthermore, TCM compounds such as Buyang Huanwutang, Taohong Siwutang, and Huangqi Guizhi Wuwutang exert synergistic effects on cellular senescence-related pathways to improve nerve health and reduce DPN clinical symptoms. Therefore, this paper reviews the literature related to the interaction between cellular senescence and DPN from the perspective of cellular senescence, summarizing the mechanism of DPN and TCM intervention strategies.

Alzheimer's disease (AD), a prototypical neurodegenerative disorder, encompasses multifaceted pathological processes. As pivotal cellular structures within the central nervous system, ion channels play critical roles in regulating neuronal excitability, synaptic transmission, and neurotransmitter release. Extensive research has revealed significant alterations in the expression and function of ion channels in AD, implicating an important role of ion channels in the pathogenesis of abnormal Aβ deposition, neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, and disruptions in calcium homeostasis and neural network functionality. This review systematically summarizes the crucial roles and underlying mechanisms of ion channels in the onset and progression of AD, highlighting how these channel abnormalities contribute to AD pathophysiology. We also discuss the therapeutic potential of ion channel modulation in AD treatment, emphasizing the importance of addressing multifactorial nature and heterogeneity of AD. The development of multi-target drugs and precision therapies is proposed as a future direction of scientific research.

OBJECTIVE:
To compare and analyze the changes of aggregation rate and routine parameters of platelets stored in temperature cycle, cold storage at 4 ℃ and oscillating storage at 22 ℃, so as to provide more experimental data for platelet preservation methods.
METHODS:
Blood samples were collected at 5 time points on the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 6th day after platelet cycling preservation at temperature, cold storage at 4 ℃, and oscillating storage at 22 ℃. Platelet maximum aggregation rate (MAR) and routine parameters including platelet count (PLT), mean platelet volume (MPV), platelet distribution width (PDW) and platelet-larger cell ratio (P-LCR) were detected.
RESULTS:
The platelet MAR of three groups showed a significant decrease trend with the preservation time, the fastest decrease was in the 22 ℃ group, the slowest was in the 4 ℃ group, and the temperature cycle group was between the two groups. On the 3rd day of preservation, the platelet MAR in 4 ℃ group was still in the normal range (MAR>60%), while in temperature cycle group was about 50%, and in 22 ℃ group was the lowest. On the 4th day of preservation, platelet MAR in all the three groups was lower than 50%, and that in temperature cycle group was significantly lower than in 4 ℃ group but higher than in 22 ℃ group (both P < 0.05). On the 6th day of preservation, platelet MAR in the temperature cycle group was significantly lower than that in the 4 ℃ group ( P <0.05), but there was no statistically significant difference compared to 22 ℃ group (P >0.05). PLT values in the three groups were all significantly decreased with the preservation time extension, and were significantly lower than those in the early stage of preservation within 6 days (all P < 0.05). PDW in temperature cycle group had no significant change within 6 days of preservation, but MPV and P-LCR were significantly increased. MPV, PDW and P-LCR all decreased significantly in 4 ℃ group within 6 days of preservation but increased in 22 ℃ group. Under the same storage days, PLT value of temperature cycle group had no significant difference with that of 4 ℃ group and 22 ℃ group, while MPV, PDW and P-LCR values were significantly higher than 4 ℃ group but lower than 22 ℃ group (all P < 0.05).
CONCLUSION
The aggregation function and routine parameters changes of temperature circulating preserved platelets are between 4 and 22 ℃.

OBJECTIVE:
The aim of this study is to analyze the clinical features and genetic etiology of a patient with multiple morphological abnormalities of the sperm flagella (MMAF) retrospectively.
METHODS:
A severely oligospermic patient from the Reproductive Center of the First Affiliated Hospital of Ningbo University was selected as the study subject. Clinical data and examination results were collected. High-throughput sequencing and bioinformatics were used to analyze the genetic etiology. And Sanger sequencing was employed to validate findings in the family. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) was used to observe the sperm ultrastructure, and immunofluorescence analysis was performed to examine the localization of FSIP2 protein in the sperm.
RESULTS:
The patient presented with severe oligospermia, and sperm morphology displayed MMAF. TEM revealed fibrous sheath and 9+2 microtubule structural disruptions in the sperm. Sequencing identified compound heterozygous variants in the FSIP2 gene (c.17798C > T, c.5927T > G), inherited from the father and mother, respectively. According to the guidelines of the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics, the variants were classified as pathogenic. The patient's spouse underwent intracytoplasmic single sperm injection, resulting in one embryo, but no clinical pregnancy occurred after embryo transfer.
CONCLUSION
This study reported the mutation of FSIP2 gene c.17798C > T, c.5927T > G in a patient with MMAF. These findings expand the mutational spectrum of the FSIP2 gene and provide insights for genetic and assisted reproductive counseling for patients with MMAF.
