		                        			ObjectiveTo evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of Qidan Tangshen Granules (芪丹糖肾颗粒, QTG) in the treatment of early diabetic kidney disease (DKD) with qi deficiency, blood stasis, and kidney deficiency syndrome, and to explore its mechanism. MethodsA double-blind, double-simulated method was used to enroll 200 patients with early DKD and qi deficiency, blood stasis, and kidney deficiency syndrome. Patients were randomly assigned in a 1∶1 ratio to the treatment group (100 cases) and the control group (100 cases). The treatment group received QTG plus a valsartan capsule simulant, while the control group received valsartan capsules plus a QTG simulant, both for 12 weeks. The primary outcome was the urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR). Secondary outcomes included estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), fasting blood glucose (FBG), 2-hour postprandial blood glucose (PBG), glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome scores (including individual symptom scores for fatigue, dull complexion, soreness and weakness of the waist and knees, headache and chest pain, irritability, spontaneous sweating, thirst and polydipsia, polyphagia, polyuria, numbness of the limbs, and the total TCM syndrome score). Oxidative stress markers including serum 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHDG), 3-nitrotyrosine (3-NT), and superoxide dismutase (SOD) were also assessed. Clinical efficacy and TCM syndrome efficacy were evaluated after treatment, and routine blood tests, urinalysis, and liver function tests were conducted and adverse reaction during the tria was recorded to assess safety. ResultsA total of 191 patients completed the study (95 in the treatment group and 96 in the control group). The treatment group showed significant reductions in UACR, FBG, PBG, and HbA1c levels after treatment (P<0.05 or P<0.01). The single TCM symptom scores except for polyphagia and total TCM syndrome scores significantly decreased (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Compared to the control group, the treatment group had signi-ficantly lower UACR, FBG, PBG levels, and total TCM syndrome scores, sinlge symptoms scores except for polyphagia and limb numbness (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Among 40 randomly selected patients (21 cases in the treatment group and 19 cases in the control group) for oxidative stress analysis, there were no significant differences in SOD, 3-NT, and 8-OHDG levels before and after treatment within or between groups (P>0.05). The overall effective rate in the treatment group was 64.2% (61/95) and 39.6% (38/96) in the control group, while the TCM syndrome efficacy rates were 80.0% (76/95) and 24.0% (23/96), respectively, with the treatment group showing superior efficacy (P<0.01). No significant differences were observed in routine blood tests, urinalysis, or liver function indices before and after treatment in either group (P>0.05). The incidence of adverse reactions was 8.4% (8/95) in the treatment group and 9.4% (9/96) in the control group, with no statistically significant difference (P>0.05). ConclusionQTG can effectively reduce UACR and blood glucose levels, alleviate clinical symptoms, and improve clinical efficacy in patients with early DKD with qi deficiency, blood stasis, and kidney deficiency syndrome. The treatment is well-tolerated and safe, with no significant impact on oxidative stress markers.

		                        			ObjectiveTo conduct comprehensive assessment of internal and external cadmium exposure and health risks for Shanghai residents. MethodsCadmium levels in food samples were calculated by employing two dietary exposure assessment methods, total diet study (TDS) and food frequency questionnaire (FFQ), to estimate the daily dietary cadmium exposure of Shanghai residents. The provisional tolerable monthly intake (PTMI) of cadmium set by joint food and agriculture organization/WHO expert committee on food additives (JECFA) was applied to evaluate the health risk. Differences in dietary and urinary cadmium were compared by rank-sum test among different regions, age, gender, smoking status, and BMI groups, and the association between internal and external cadmium exposure was investigated by correlation analysis. ResultsThe mean value of urinary cadmium for 1 300 respondents was 0.542 μg·L-1. Urinary cadmium was higher in the population in central urban and urban-rural fringe areas than in the suburban area, higher in the older age group than in the younger age group, and higher in the smoking group than in the non-smoking group (all P<0.01). The two assessment methods showed that the mean values of daily dietary cadmium exposure for Shanghai residents were 0.306 and 0.090 μg·kg-1, with 3.69% and 0.85% of Shanghai residents exceeding the PTMI, respectively. Correlation analyses showed that dietary exposure to cadmium based on the FFQ method was positively correlated with the urinary cadmium level when smoking status, age, gender, and BMI were adjusted. ConclusionDietary exposure to cadmium of Shanghai residents is mainly derived from vegetables, aquatic products, cereals and potatoes, and is overall at a low-risk level. Dietary exposure assessment based on FFQ and risk monitoring data can effectively estimate long-term cadmium exposure.

		                        			Objective:To observe the effects of Sanjia Powder on myocardial fibrosis in diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) model rats; To elaborate its mechanism.Methods:A DCM rat model was constructed using STZ single intraperitoneal injection combined with high-sugar and high-fat feeding. The model rats were divided into model group, TCM group, Western medicine group, miR-21 inhibition group, and miR-21 inhibition control group using a random number table method, with 10 rats in each group; another 10 SD rats were set as normal group. TCM group was orally administered with Sanjia Powder water decoction at a dose of 6.2 g/kg, and the Western medicine group was administered metformin 250 mg/kg + enalapril 45 mg/kg by gavage. miR-21 inhibition group, miR-21 inhibition control group, normal group, and model group were given the same volume of distilled water by gavage, once a day, for 4 weeks; at the same time, the normal group, the model group, TCM group, and the Western medicine group were injected with the same amount of normal saline in the tail vein. The miR-21 inhibition group received tail vein injection of miR-21 inhibitor at a dose of 20 mg/kg, and the miR-21 inhibition control group received tail vein injection of miR-21 inhibitor NC at a dose of 20 mg/kg, twice a week, for 4 weeks. The morphological changes of myocardial tissue were observed using HE; the expression of Collagen-Ⅰ in myocardial tissue was detected using Western Blot; the expressions of endothelial cell marker CD31 and stromal cell marker FSP1 in myocardial tissue were detected using immunofluorescence method.Results:Compared with the model group, the pathological morphology of myocardial tissue improved in the TCM group, Western medicine group, and miR-21 inhibition group, while the expressions of Collagen-Ⅰ and FSP1 decreased ( P<0.01) and the expression of CD31 increased ( P<0.01); there was no statistically significant difference in the expressions of Collagen-Ⅰ, CD31, and FSP1 between the TCM group and the miR-21 inhibition group ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Sanjia Powder can improve myocardial fibrosis in rats with diabetic cardiomyopathy, and its mechanism may be related to the up-regulation of CD31 expression and down-regulation of FSP1 expression, thereby inhibiting endothelial mesenchymal transition, and may also be related to the inhibition of miR-21 expression.
