To study the effect of Shenqi Dihuang decoction on inflammatory factor, renal function and microcirculation in patients with early diabetic nephropathy. A total of 205 cases of patient with early diabetic nephropathy treated in our hospital from March 2014 to April 2016 were selected and divided into two groups according to the admitted order, with 103 cases in clinical group and 102 in control group. Patients in control group were treated with melbine and captopril, which may be adjusted according to the clinical symptom. The clinical group was given Shenqi Dihuang decoction. Then the clinical efficady, inflammatory factors, renal function, endothelial function and hemorheology index were compared. Compared with 77.45% in the control group, the total effective rate of the clinical group was 92.23%. There was a significant increase (<0.05). The comparison of the values of IL-6, IL-8, TNF-α and CRP between the two groups before and after treatment showed significant differences. The values of inflammatory factors in treatment group were lower than in control group (<0.05). The comparison of the values of β2-MG, Cys-C and urine m-ALB between the two groups before and after treatment showed significant differences. The values of renal function in treatment group were lower than those in control group (<0.05). Compared with before treatment, ET-1 of the two groups after treatment decreased, while NO increased (<0.05). Compared with the control group, the value of ET-1 in patients of the experimental group was lower after treatment, while NO was higher (<0.05). The comparison of the values of whole blood viscosity, plasma viscosity, whole blood reduction viscosity, platelet aggregation rate and fibrinogen between the two groups before and after treatment showed significant differences. The value of hemorheology index in treatment group was lower than that in control group (<0.05). Shenqi Dihuang decoction has a better effect on patients with early diabetic nephropathy. It can significantly intervene with inflammatory response, reduce proteinuria, protect the renal function of patients, and improve the patient's vascular endothelial function and blood rheology, so as to make microcirculation to recover to the normal level.

Background: Prostate cancer (PCa) is a significant malignancy in men, particularly challenging in the metastatic stage due to poor prognosis and limited treatment efficacy. Traditional Chinese Medicine, particularly Modified Shenqi Dihuang Decoction (MSDD), has demonstrated promise in inhibiting PCa metastasis, although its mechanisms remain unclear.
Methods: The efficacy of MSDD was evaluated using migration assays and a nude mouse model.
Traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) has significant advantages in treatment of chronic kidney disease, but its clinical research evidence needs to be further summarized and improved. By means of evidence mapping, this paper systematically categorized the clinical research on TCM in treating chronic kidney disease in recent ten years, so as to understand the existing evidence level in this field and offer a reference for addressing current issues. The relevant literature published between January 1, 2013 and December 31, 2023 was systematically searched in both Chinese and English databases.

Podocyte injury plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy (DN), leading to proteinuria formation. β-Sitosterol is a natural compound with anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic, nephroprotective and antioxidant properties. The studyaimed to explore whether and how β-Sitosterol protected podocytes against high glucose (HG)-induced inflammatory andoxidative injury.

Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is one of the strongest risk factors for diabetic foot ulcers (neuropathic ulcerations) and the existing ulcers may further deteriorate due to the damage to sensory neurons. Moreover, the resulting numbness in the limbs causes difficulty in discovering these ulcerations in a short time. DPN is associated with gut microbiota dysbiosis.

Hypertension is the most common chronic disease in clinics and has become the most common risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. Because of its high incidence rate, disability rate, and mortality, it has attracted worldwide attention. Despite continuous progress in modern medicine in the treatment of hypertension with new antihypertensive drugs such as Zilebesiran, a nucleic acid drug that acts on microRNA, direct renin inhibitors, and renal sympathetic blockade, the control rate is still not ideal.
