Abstract
Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is a common complication of diabetes and has become the leading cause of end-stage kidney disease. The pathogenesis of DKD is complicated, and oxidative stress is considered as a core of DKD onset. High glucose can lead to increased production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) via the polyol, PKC, AGE/RAGE and hexosamine pathways, resulting in enhanced oxidative stress response. In this way, pathways such as PI3K/Akt, TGF-β1/p38-MAPK and NF-κB are activated, inducing endothelial cell apoptosis, inflammation, autophagy and fibrosis that cause histologic and functional abnormalities of the kidney and finally result in kidney injury. Presently, the treatment for DKD remains an unresolved issue. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has unique advantages for DKD prevention and treatment attributed to its multi-target, multi-component, and multi-pathway characteristics. Numerous studies have proved that Chinese herbs (e.g., Golden Thread, Kudzuvine Root, Tripterygium glycosides, and Ginseng) and patent medicines (e.g., Shenshuaining Tablet, Compound Rhizoma Coptidis Capsule, and Zishen Tongluo Granule) are effective for DKD treatment. The present review described the role of oxidative stress in DKD pathogenesis and the effect of TCM intervention for DKD prevention and treatment, in an attempt to provide evidence for clinical practice.

Abstract
Venous thromboembolic complications (VTCs), which include deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), have remained a pressing problem in modern clinical medicine for a long time. Despite the already wide arsenal of modern methods for diagnosing and treating this disease, VTCs rank third in the structure of causes of death among all cardiovascular diseases, behind myocardial infarction (MI) and ischemic stroke (IS). Numerous studies have confirmed the importance of understanding the molecular processes of VTCs for effective therapy and diagnosis. Significant progress has been made in VTC research in recent years, where the relative contribution of microRNAs (miRNAs) in the mechanism of thrombus formation and their consideration as therapeutic targets have been well studied. In this case, accurate, timely, and as early as possible diagnosis of VTCs is of particular importance, which will help improve both short-term and long-term prognoses of patients. This case accounts for the already well-studied circulating miRNAs as non-invasive biomarkers. This study presents currently available literature data on the role of miRNAs in VTCs, revealing their potential as therapeutic targets and diagnostic and prognostic tools for this terrible disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Huangqi Guizhi Wuwu decoction (HQGZWWD) has been used to treat and prevent deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in China. However, its potential mechanisms of action remain unclear. This study aimed to utilize network pharmacology and molecular docking technology to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of action of HQGZWWD in DVT. METHODS We identified the main chemical components of HQGZWWD by reviewing the literature and using a Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology (TCMSP) database. We used GeneCards and Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man databases to identify the targets of DVT. Herb-disease-gene-target networks using Cytascape 3.8.2 software; a protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed by combining drug and disease targets on the STRING platform. Additionally, we conducted Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analyses. Finally, molecular docking verification of active components and core protein targets was conducted. RESULTS A total of 64 potential targets related to DVT were identified in HQGZWWD, with 41 active components; quercetin, kaempferol, and beta-sitosterol were the most effective compounds. The PPI network analysis revealed that AKT1, IL1B, and IL6 were the most abundant proteins with the highest degree. GO analysis indicated that DVT treatment with HQGZWWD could involve the response to inorganic substances, positive regulation of phosphorylation, plasma membrane protein complexes, and signaling receptor regulator activity. KEGG analysis revealed that the signaling pathways included pathways in cancer, lipid and atherosclerosis, fluid shear stress and atherosclerosis, and the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinases/protein kinase B(PI3K-Akt) and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathways. The molecular docking results indicated that quercetin, kaempferol, and beta-sitosterol exhibited strong binding affinities for AKT1, IL1B, and IL6. CONCLUSION Our study suggests that AKT1, IL1B, and IL6 are promising targets for treating DVT with HQGZWWD. The active components of HQGZWWD likely responsible for its effectiveness against DVT are quercetin, kaempferol, and beta-sitosterol, they may inhibit platelet activation and endothelial cell apoptosis by regulating the PI3K/Akt and MAPK signaling pathways, slowing the progression of DVT.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) enriched with bioactive molecules have gained considerable attention in nanotechnology because they are critical to intercellular communication while maintaining low immunological impact. Among biological matrices, urine has emerged as a noninvasive source of extracellular-contained liquid biopsy, currently of interest as a readout for physiological adaptations. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate chronic adaptations of endurance sport practice in terms of urinary EV parameters and evaluated by food consumption assessment. Two balanced groups of 13 inactive controls vs. triathlon athletes were enrolled; their urinary EVs were obtained by differential ultracentrifugation and analyzed by dynamic light scattering and transmission electron and atomic force microscopy. The cargo was analyzed by means of purine and miRNA content through HPLC-UV and qRT-PCR. Specific urinary EV signatures differentiated inactive versus endurance-trained in terms of peculiar shape. Particularly, a spheroid shape, smaller size, and lower roughness characterize EVs from triathletes. Metabolic and regulatory miRNAs often associated with skeletal muscle (i.e., miR378a-5p, miR27a-3p, miR133a, and miR206) also accounted for a differential signature. These miRNAs and guanosine in urinary EVs can be used as a readout for metabolic status along with the shape and roughness of EVs, novel informative parameters that are rarely considered. The network models allow scholars to entangle nutritional and exercise factors related to EVs' miRNA and purine content to depict metabolic signatures. All in all, multiplex biophysical and molecular analyses of urinary EVs may serve as promising prospects for research in exercise physiology.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Early exercise for acute deep venous thrombosis (DVT) improves the patient's symptoms and does not increase the risk of pulmonary embolism. However, information about its effect on thrombus resolution is limited. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of resistance exercise (RE) in thrombus resolution and recanalization and determine its underlying mechanisms. METHODS: Ninety-six C57BL/6 J mice were randomly divided into four groups: Control group (C, n = 24); DVT group (D, n = 24); RE + DVT group (ED, n = 24); and inhibitor + RE + DVT group (IED, n = 24). A DVT model was induced by stenosis of the inferior vena cava (IVC). After undergoing IVC ultrasound within 24 h post-operation to confirm DVT formation, mice without thrombosis were excluded. Other mice were sacrificed and specimens were obtained 14 or 28 days after operation. Thrombus-containing IVC was weighed, and the thrombus area and recanalization rate were calculated using HE staining. Masson's trichrome staining was used to analyze the collagen content. RT-PCR and ELISA were performed to examine IL-6, TNF-α, IL-10, and VEGF expression levels. SIRT1 expression was assessed using immunohistochemistry staining and RT-PCR. VEGF-A protein expression and CD-31-positive microvascular density (MVD) in the thrombus were observed using immunohistochemistry. RESULTS: RE did not increase the incidence of pulmonary embolism. It reduced the weight and size of the thrombus and the collagen content. Conversely, it increased the recanalization rate. It also decreased the levels of the pro-inflammatory factors IL-6 and TNF-α and increased the expression levels of the anti-inflammatory factor IL-10. RE enhanced VEGF and SIRT1 expression levels and increased the MVD in the thrombosis area. After EX527 (SIRT1 inhibitor) was applied, the positive effects of exercise were suppressed. CONCLUSIONS RE can inhibit inflammatory responses, reduce collagen deposition, and increase angiogenesis in DVT mice, thereby promoting thrombus resolution and recanalization. Its underlying mechanism may be associated with the upregulation of SIRT1 expression.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study attempted to investigate miR-92a-3p expression in peripheral blood of patients with severe β-thalassemia, and the effect and action mechanism of miR-92a-3p on γ-globin expression and oxidative stress in erythroid precursor cells. METHODS CD34+ hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPCs) were isolated from peripheral blood of healthy volunteers and patients with severe β-thalassemia. The levels of miR-92a-3p, BCL11A, and γ-globin were measured in erythroid precursor cells. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was used to analyze hemoglobin F (HbF) content. HPCs were induced with erythroid differentiation and erythroid precursor cells were then obtained. The relevance between miR-92a-3p and BCL11A was studied using dual luciferase reporter gene assay, and the correlation between miR-92a-3p and HbF was assayed by Pearson correlation analysis. Reactive oxygen species (ROS), glutathione (GSH), malondialdehyde (MDA), and superoxide dismutase (SOD) in erythroid precursor cells were tested to evaluate oxidative stress. Cell apoptosis was examined by flow cytometry. RESULTS Remarkably higher expression of miR-92a-3p was observed in erythroid precursor cells. Increased expression of miR-92a-3p resulted in elevated levels of γ-globin, GSH, and SOD, reduced expression of ROS and MDA, and decreased cell apoptosis. BCL11A was identified as a target of miR-92a-3p and to be downregulated by miR-92a-3p. Moreover, BCL11A knockdown alone increased the expression of γ-globin, SOD and GSH, and repressed the levels of ROS and MDA and cell apoptosis, and the following inhibition of miR-92a-3p changed these patterns. CONCLUSIONS Our data indicated that miR-92a-3p might increase γ-globin level and reduce oxidative stress and apoptosis in erythroid precursor cells by downregulating BCL11A.

Abstract
Infertility is one of the disorders that worries many couples around the world, although novel and molecular methods can be used to cure this disease in different stages. One of the factors that causes infertility in men and women is the increased oxidative stress within the cells, which can lead to damage in zygote formation. ROMO1 is one of the most important proteins in the production of reactive oxygen species. This protein can enhance oxidative stress in the cells and body through cellular pathways, such as TNF-α and NF-κB routes, which will eventually lead to many diseases, especially infertility. We engage several international databases by using keywords; ROMO1, Infertility, and Reactive Oxygen Species, and gained a great quantity of information about ROMO1, Infertility, and Oxidative Stress. Although not proven, it is hypothesized that ROMO1 might elevate oxidative stress by activating NF-κB pathway in the cells, furthermore, TNF-α can arouse ROMO1 that can end up with apoptosis and cell death, which consequently can have a lot of disturbing effects on the body, especially the reproductive system. To sum up, revealing the exact cellular and molecular mechanisms of ROMO1-dependent TNF-α and NF-κB pathways in the pathogenesis of infertility might find interesting therapeutic and management strategies for this disorder.

Abstract
Muscle and adipose tissue produce irisin during exercise. Irisin is thermogenic adipomyokine, improves glucose and lipid metabolism, and ameliorates the effects of obesity-driven inflammation, metabolic syndrome, and diabetes. In addition, exercise-induced irisin activates anti-inflammatory pathways and may play an essential role in improving the outcomes of inflammatory conditions, such as coronavirus disease (COVID-19). COVID-19 infection can activate different intracellular receptors and modulate various pathways during the course of the disease. The cytokine release storm (CRS) produced is significant because it promotes the context for systemic inflammation, which increases the risk of mortality in patients with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV2). In addition, viral infection and the resulting organ damage may stimulate the mitogen-activated protein kinase(MAPK) and toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)/toll interleukin receptor (TIR)-domain-containing adaptor (MyD88) pathways while negatively modulating the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) pathway, leading to increased inflammatory cytokine production. Exercise-induced irisin may counteract this inflammatory modulation by decreasing cytokine production. Consequently, increased irisin levels, as found in healthy patients, may favor a better prognosis in patients with SARS-CoV2. This review aims to explore the molecular mechanisms underlying the anti-inflammatory properties of irisin in mitigating CRS and preventing severe outcomes due to infection with SARS-CoV2.
