The occurrence of diabetes mellitus （DM） is closely related to insulin resistance and islet β cell dysfunction. Modern studies have found that macrophages are widely present in the liver，fat，skeletal muscle，islets， and other tissues and organs. Macrophage M1/M2 polarization plays an important role in the occurrence and development of diabetes mellitus and its related complications by intervening in inflammatory response，improving insulin resistance，and promoting tissue repair. Most of the traditional Chinese medicines that regulate the activation and polarization of macrophages are Qi-replenishing and Yin-nourishing，heat-clearing， and detoxicating medicinal，which are consistent with the etiology and pathogenesis of diabetes and its related complications. Therefore，by summarizing the mechanisms between macrophage activation，polarization， and insulin resistance in various tissues，this paper reviewed traditional Chinese medicine and its effective components and compounds in improving diabetes mellitus and its related complications through multi-channel regulation of macrophage polarization and regulation of M1/M2 ratio，providing references for the future treatment of DM and its related complications with traditional Chinese medicine.

Objective: To classify the ABO blood group phenotypes of 5 cases from a family, and to explore the molecular mechanism for reduced B antigen expression in ABO blood group system. Methods: Serological identification of the ABO blood group was performed using microcolumn gel assay and saline tube method. The soluble antigens in saliva were detected by the agglutination inhibition assay. The full-length sequences and upstream promoter regions of ABO gene were sequenced for genotyping using PacBio SMRT sequencing technology. Results: The results of serological tests indicated the expression of B antigen decreased in 3 out of 5 blood samples. A mixed-field agglutination was observed with anti-B antibody. B antigen was not detected in all 5 saliva samples. The ABO genotype for all samples were ABO B.01/ABO O.01.02, and a novel mutation c. 28+5875C>T within the DNA-binding region of RUNX1 in +5.8-kb site were found in the B allele for 3 samples with reduced expression of B antigen. Conclusion: Results of serological and genetic analyses classify the 3 cases with reduced B antigen expression as B phenotype. The novel mutation c. 28+5875C>T of RUNX1 could be the key reason for reduced B antigen expression in 3 cases with B phenotype.

The theory of "linkage between spleen and small intestine" has been put forward by doctors as early as the Ming dynasty. In traditional Chinese medicine， the spleen and small intestine cooperate and work together physiologically， and they are also closely related and interact with each other pathologically. The spleen governs transportation and transformation， which involves the function of the small intestine in transforming water and grain. The small intestine， governing the receiving and transformation of substances， depends on the normal transportation of the spleen. At the same time， it provides guarantee for the spleen to transform Qi and generate blood as well as ascend lucidity and descend turbidity. The dysfunction of spleen in transportation is closely related to the dysfunction of small intestine. The stability of intestinal microecology necessitates the normal functioning of the spleen. When the original balance of intestinal flora is disturbed， the spleen functioning will be affected. This study explored the pathogenesis and treatment of diabetes based on the physiological functions of the spleen and small intestine and the Western medicine targets of "nutrients-intestinal flora". According to modern medicine， nutrients are essential to maintain the normal physiological activities of the human body. Proper intake of nutrients can affect the absorption and metabolism of the human body for nutrients by regulating the composition and function of intestinal flora， so as to prevent the occurrence of diabetes. The imbalance of intestinal flora which harbors rich microorganisms may lead to the disturbance of energy metabolism and the dysfunction of the immune system， eventually leading to diabetes. As a metabolic disease， diabetes is closely related to the imbalance of intestinal flora and nutrient intake. Based on the theory of "linkage between spleen and small intestine"， this paper discusses the relationship between spleen and small intestine. Furthermore， this paper discusses the correlation between "spleen-small intestine" and "nutrients-intestinal flora" by reviewing the latest progress in modern medicine and clinical research， aiming to provide a theoretical basis and new ideas for the clinical prevention and treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Objective:To investigative the molecular mechanism of C-X-C chemokine receptor type 4 (CXCR4) antagonist AMD3100 in epileptic seizure.Methods:(1) Animal experiment: 36 adult male SD rats were randomly divided into control group (Con, n=12), epilepsy group (Epi, n=12), Epi+AMD3100 group ( n=12). Experimental epilepsy rat models in the Epi group were induced by intraperitoneal injection of pentrazole (PTZ, 40 mg/kg); rats in the Epi+AMD3100 group were given intraperitoneal injection of PTZ (40 mg/kg) 20 min after lateral intracerebroventricular injection of 5 μL (5 mg/mL) AMD3100; rats in the Con group were given intraperitoneal injection of normal saline. Racine grading was used to evaluate the levels of epileptic seizure and the latency of epileptic seizure was recorded in rats from each group. EEG was used to record the abnormal discharges of brain neurons in rats from each group. The content of γ -aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the hippocampus was detected by ELISA kit; γ -aminobutyric acid A receptor α1 subunit ( GABAAR α1) mRNA levels of hippocampal neurons in each group were detected by real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR). (2) Cell experiment: the hippocampal neurons from 1-d-old SD rats were primarily cultured; 7 d after cultivation, these cells were divided into control group, epilepsy group and AMD3100 group; the cellular epileptic models in the epileptic group were induced by magnesium-free external fluid; neurons in the AMD3100 group were cultured in magnesium-free external solution containing 10 nmol/L AMD3100 for 3 h, and then changed to Neurobasal medium for further culture; cells in the control group were cultured with Neurobasal medium. Whole cell patch clamp technique was used to detect the spontaneous inhibitory postsynaptic currents (sIPSCs) after AMD3100 (10 nmol/L) perfusion. Results:(1) Animal experiment: the seizure latency in Epi+AMD3100 group was significantly shorter than that in Epi group ([663.30±74.84] s vs. [164.40±17.20] s, t=6.490, P<0.001). The frequency of seizures>grading 4 in the Epi+AMD3100 group was significantly decreased as compared with that in the Epi group (3.75±0.39 vs. 9.00±0.73, t=4.680, P<0.001). ELISA results showed that GABA content in the 3 groups was significantly different ( F=17.850, P<0.001): that in the Epi group was significantly lower than that in the Con group, and that in the Epi+AMD3100 group was significantly higher than that in Epi group ( P<0.05). The qRT-PCR results showed that GABAAR α1 mRNA content among the 3 groups was significantly different ( F=14.400, P<0.001): that in the Epi group was significantly lower than that in the Con group, and that in the Epi+AMD3100 group was significantly higher than that in the Epi group ( P<0.05). EEG results showed that the discharge frequency of rats in the Epi+AMD3100 group was lower than that in Epi group; there was no significant difference in EEG power among the 3 groups ( F=3.220, P<0.001), but the EEG power in the Epi+AMD3100 group was lower than that in Epi group and control group. (2) Cell experiment: patch clamp technique showed that the average frequency and amplitude of sIPSCs in the 3 groups were statistically significant ( F=13.670, P<0.001; F=10.920, P<0.001). As compared with those in the control group and epilepsy group, the average frequency and amplitude of sIPSCs in AMD3100 group were significantly increased ( P<0.05). Conclusion:CXCR4 antagonist AMD3100 can reduce seizure frequency by enhancing inhibitory neurotransmission.
