Abstract:
The injury of vascular endothelial cell function is the beginning of the pathological process of atherosclerosis. Mitochondrial oxidative stress is closely related to vascular endothelial cell function, which causes the dysfunction of vascular endothelial cell by inducing mitophagy, reducing nitric oxide production, inflammation, cellular metabolic imbalance and apoptosis. Meanwhile, vascular endothelial cell could also maintain their homeostasis by regulating mitochondrial oxidative stress. The molecular signaling pathways of the vascular endothelial cell injury caused by mitochondrial oxidative stress in the pathological process of atherosclerosis were outlined in this review, which provided reference for further research on the molecular mechanism between mitochondrial oxidative stress and endothelial damage.

Abstract:
Skin ulcers are the most prevalent consequence of diabetes mellitus, and people with diabetic ulcers have a substantially greater death risk than those who do not have ulcers. Herbal medications have gained wide concern in recent years due to their multi-component, multi-target, and multi-pathway synergistic therapeutic effects. Clinical trials have demonstrated the safety and efficacy of herbal treatments in diabetic refractory ulcers. To systematically evaluate the healing effect of herbs on diabetic wounds, a literature search was conducted, the mechanism of action of 15 herbal extracts in promoting diabetic wound healing were reviewed, and the classification based on traditional Chinese medicine theory was discussed, which could provide a reference for the precise treatment and exploitation of herbal medicines for diabetic ulcers.

Abstract:
Targeted protein degradation (TPD) techniques eliminate pathogenic proteins by hijacking the intracellular proteolysis machinery which includes the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) and the lysosomal degradation pathway, holding promise to overcome the limitations of traditional inhibitors and further broaden the target space including many “undruggable” targets, and provide new targeted treatments for drug discovery. In this review, recent advances in a variety of promising TPD strategies were summarized, such as proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC), molecular glue, lysosome-targeting chimaera (LYTAC), autophagosome-tethering compound (ATTEC), autophagy-targeting chimera AUTAC and AUTOTAC, particularly. The representative case studies, potential applications and challenges were analyzed.

Abstract:
Candida albicans is one of the most common species of Candida, which is an important cause of invasive candidiasis in clinic. Due to the frequently use of classical antifungal agents, there are amounts of drug resistant C. albicans being isolated, causing the significantly decreasing of the efficacy of some antifungal agents in clinical treatment. Besides, the use of some compounds in clinic has been limited because of their toxicities. In such a context, drug combination therapy shows great potential on antifungal because of the synergy of different drugs or therapeutic methods that could bring, which could improve the weaknesses of single drug.
