Abstract
Objective To evaluate the quality of evidence, potential biases, and validity of all available studies on dietary intervention and diabetic nephropathy (DN). Methods We conducted an umbrella review of existing meta-analyses of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that focused on the effects of dietary intervention on DN incidence. The literature was searched via PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews. According to the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE), evidence of each outcome was evaluated and graded as "high", "moderate", "low" or "very low" quality to draw conclusions. Additionally, we classified evidence of outcomes into 4 categories. Results We identified 36 meta-analyses of RCTs and 55 clinical outcomes of DN from 395 unique articles. Moderate-quality evidence suggested that probiotic supplementation could significantly improve blood urea nitrogen (BUN), total cholesterol (TC) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels in DN patients. Low-quality evidence indicated that probiotic supplementation significantly improved the serum creatinine concentration, urinary albumin-creatinine ratio (UACR), fasting blood glucose (FBG), HbA1c and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) in DN patients. In addition, low-quality evidence suggested that a salt restriction diet could significantly improve the creatinine clearance rate (CrCl) in patients with DN. Low-quality evidence suggested that vitamin D supplementation could significantly improve the UACR in patients with DN. In addition, low-quality evidence has indicated that soy isoflavone supplementation could significantly improve BUN, FBG, total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG) and LDL-C levels in patients with DN. Furthermore, low-quality evidence suggested that coenzyme Q10 supplementation could significantly improve HbA1c, TC and HDL-C in patients with DN, and dietary polyphenols also significantly improved HbA1c in patients with DN. Finally, low-quality evidence suggested that supplementation with antioxidant vitamins could significantly improve the serum creatinine concentration, systolic blood pressure, and HbA1c level in patients with DN. Given the small sample size, all significantly associated outcomes were evaluated as class IV evidence. Conclusion Moderate to low amounts of evidence suggest that supplementation with probiotics, vitamin D, soy isoflavones, coenzyme Q10, dietary polyphenols, antioxidant vitamins, or salt-restricted diets may significantly improve clinical outcomes in patients with DN.

Alleviating effects of coenzyme Q10 supplements on biomarkers of inflammation and oxidative stress: results from an umbrella meta-analysis. Front Pharmacol 2023; 14:1191290. [PMID: 37614320 PMCID: PMC10442645 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2023.1191290] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/22/2023] [Accepted: 07/28/2023] [Indexed: 08/25/2023] Open
Abstract
Introduction: Although several meta-analyses support the positive effect of coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) on biomarkers of oxidative stress and inflammation, the results of some other studies reject such effects. Methods: Therefore, in this umbrella meta-analysis, we performed a comprehensive systematic search in such databases as Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus, Embase, and Google Scholar up to January 2023. Results: Based on standardized mean difference analysis, CoQ10 supplementation significantly decreased serum C-reactive protein (CRP) (ESSMD = -0.39; 95% CI: 0.77, -0.01, p = 0.042) and malondialdehyde (MDA) (ESSMD = -1.17; 95% CI: 1.55, -0.79, p < 0.001), while it increased the total antioxidant capacity (TAC) (ESSMD = 1.21; 95% CI: 0.61, 1.81, p < 0.001) and serum superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity (ESSMD = 1.08; 95% CI: 0.37, 1.79, p = 0.003). However, CoQ10 supplementation had no significant reducing effect on tumor-necrosis factor-alpha (TNF- α) (ESSMD = -0.70; 95% CI: 2.09, 0.68, p = 0.320) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels (ESSMD = -0.85; 95% CI: 1.71, 0.01, p = 0.053). Based on weighted mean difference analysis, CoQ10 supplementation considerably decreased TNF-α (ESWMD = -0.46, 95% CI: 0.65, -0.27; p < 0.001), IL-6 (ESWMD = -0.92, 95% CI: 1.40, -0.45; p < 0.001), and CRP levels (effect sizes WMD = -0.28, 95% CI: 0.47, -0.09; p < 0.001). Discussion: The results of our meta-analysis supported the alleviating effects of CoQ10 on markers of inflammation cautiously. However, CoQ10 had antioxidant effects regarding the improvement of all the studied antioxidant and oxidative stress biomarkers.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) belongs to the category of socially significant diseases with epidemic rates of increases in prevalence. Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a specific kind of kidney damage that occurs in 40% of patients with DM and is considered a serious complication of DM. Most modern methods for treatments aimed at slowing down the progression of DN have side effects and do not produce unambiguous positive results in the long term. This fact has encouraged researchers to search for additional or alternative treatment methods. Hyperglycemia has a negative effect on renal structures due to a number of factors, including the activation of the polyol and hexosamine glucose metabolism pathways, the activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone and sympathetic nervous systems, the accumulation of advanced glycation end products and increases in the insulin resistance and endothelial dysfunction of tissues. The above mechanisms cause the development of oxidative stress (OS) reactions and mitochondrial dysfunction, which in turn contribute to the development and progression of DN. Modern antioxidant therapies for DN involve various phytochemicals (food antioxidants, resveratrol, curcumin, alpha-lipoic acid preparations, etc.), which are widely used not only for the treatment of diabetes but also other systemic diseases. It has also been suggested that therapeutic approaches that target the source of reactive oxygen species in DN may have certain advantages in terms of nephroprotection from OS. This review describes the significance of studies on OS biomarkers in the pathogenesis of DN and analyzes various approaches to reducing the intensity of OS in the prevention and treatment of DN.

Abstract
Mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress have been implicated in the pathogenesis of a number of endocrine disorders; this, in turn, suggests a potential role for the vitamin-like substance coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) in the pathogenesis and treatment of these disorders, on the basis of its key roles in mitochondrial function, and as an antioxidant. In this article we have therefore reviewed the role of CoQ10 deficiency and supplementation in disorders of the thyroid, pancreas, gonads, pituitary and adrenals, with a particular focus on hyperthyroidism, type II diabetes, male infertility and polycystic ovary syndrome.

Abstract
Ferroptosis, a newly discovered form of regulated cell death dependent on iron and reactive oxygen species, is mainly characterized by mitochondrial shrinkage, increased density of bilayer membranes and the accumulation of lipid peroxidation, causing membrane lipid peroxidation and eventually cell death. Similar with the most forms of regulated cell death, ferroptosis also participated in the pathological metabolism of myocardial infarction and myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injuries, which are still the leading causes of death worldwide. Given the crucial roles ferroptosis played in cardiovascular diseases, such as myocardial infarction and myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injuries, it is considerable to delve into the molecular mechanisms of ferroptosis contributing to the progress of cardiovascular diseases, which might offer the potential role of ferroptosis as a targeted treatment for a wide range of cardiovascular diseases. This review systematically summarizes the process and regulatory metabolisms of ferroptosis, discusses the relationship between ferroptosis and myocardial infarction as well as myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injuries, which might potentially provide novel insights for the pathological metabolism and original ideas for the prevention as well as treatment targeting ferroptosis of cardiovascular diseases such as myocardial infarction and myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injuries.

Effects of coenzyme Q10 supplementation on glycemic control: A GRADE-assessed systematic review and dose-response meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials. EClinicalMedicine 2022; 52:101602. [PMID: 35958521 PMCID: PMC9358422 DOI: 10.1016/j.eclinm.2022.101602] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/12/2022] [Revised: 07/18/2022] [Accepted: 07/20/2022] [Indexed: 11/22/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous reviews reported that the effects of CoQ10 on glycemic control were inconsistent. There is no review exploring the optimal intake of CoQ10 for glycemic control. We aimed to investigate the efficacy of CoQ10 on glycemic control and evaluate the dose-response relationship via integrating the existing evidence from randomized control trials (RCTs). METHODS Databases (PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library) were searched to identify RCTs for investigating the efficacy of CoQ10 on fasting glucose, fasting insulin, HbA1c, and HOMA-IR up to March 12, 2022. We performed a meta-analysis on 40 RCTs of CoQ10. Weighted mean difference (WMD) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated for net changes. Evidence certainty was assessed using GRADE. Dose-response relationships were evaluated using 1-stage restricted cubic spline regression model. The protocol was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42021252933). FINDINGS Forty studies (n = 2,424 participants) were included in this meta-analysis. CoQ10 significantly reduced fasting glucose (WMD: -5.22 [95% CI: -8.33, -2.11] mg/dl; P <0.001; I2 =95.10%), fasting insulin (-1.32 [-2.06, -0.58] μIU/ml; P < 0.001; I2 =78.86%), HbA1c (-0.12% [-0.23, -0.01]; P =0.04; I2 =49.10%), and HOMA-IR (-0.69 [-1.00, -0.38]; P <0.001; I2 =88.80%). The effect of CoQ10 on outcomes was greater in diabetes with lower heterogeneity. A "U" shape dose-response relationship curve revealed that 100-200 mg/day of CoQ10 largely decreased fasting glucose (χ 2 = 12.08, P nonlinearity =0.002), fasting insulin (χ 2 = 9.73, P nonlinearity =0.008), HbA1c (χ 2 = 6.00, P nonlinearity =0.049), HOMA-IR (χ 2 = 25.89, P nonlinearity <0.001). INTERPRETATION CoQ10 supplementation has beneficial effects on glycemic control, especially in diabetes, and 100-200 mg/day of CoQ10 could achieve the greatest benefit, which could provide a basis for the dietary guidelines of CoQ10 in patients with glycemic disorders.

Abstract
One of the microvascular complications of diabetes is diabetic kidney disease (DKD), often leading to end stage renal disease (ESRD) in which patients require costly dialysis or transplantation. The silent onset and irreversible progression of DKD are characterized by a steady decline of the estimated glomerular filtration rate, with or without concomitant albuminuria. The diabetic milieu allows the complex pathophysiology of DKD to enter a vicious cycle by inducing the synthesis of excessive amounts of reactive oxygen species (ROS) causing oxidative stress, inflammation, and fibrosis. As no cure is available, intensive research is required to develop novel treatments possibilities. This chapter provides an overview of the important pathomechanisms identified in diabetic kidney disease, the currently established therapies, as well as recently developed novel therapeutic strategies in DKD.

Abstract
Evidence shows that exogenous CoQ10 supplementation may potentially attenuate oxidative stress status. However, its effective dose and evidence certainty require further evaluation in the general population via more updated randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Databases (PubMed, Embase and Cochrane Library) were searched up to 30 March 2022. Evidence certainty was assessed using the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) approach. Thirty-four RCTs containing 2012 participants were included in this review. Pooled effects of significant increase in total antioxidant capacity (TAC) (standardized mean difference: 1.83, 95%CI: [1.07, 2.59], p < 0.001) and significant reduction in malondialdehyde (MDA) concentrations (−0.77, [−1.06, −0.47], p < 0.001) were shown after CoQ10 supplementation compared to placebo. However, we could not determine that there was a significant increase in circulating superoxide dismutase (SOD) levels yet (0.47, [0.00, 0.94], p = 0.05). Subgroup analyses implied that CoQ10 supplementation was more beneficial to people with coronary artery disease or type 2 diabetes. Additionally, taking 100−150 mg/day CoQ10 supplement had better benefits for the levels of TAC, MDA and SOD (all p < 0.01). These results to a statistically significant extent lent support to the efficacy and optimal dose of CoQ10 supplementation on attenuating oxidative stress status in adults.

Wen W, Huang B, Ye S. Metformin Ameliorates Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition of Renal Tubular Epithelial Cells in Diabetes by Increasing Vitamin D Receptor Expression. Diabetes Metab Syndr Obes 2022; 15:4001-4010. [PMID: 36582506 PMCID: PMC9792813 DOI: 10.2147/dmso.s389918] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/20/2022] [Accepted: 11/15/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Metformin is used as a first-line drug for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) plays a significant role in the development of renal tubular damage in diabetic kidney disease. However, the underlying mechanisms of EMT in diabetic kidney disease are unclear and how to inhibit this process remains to be explored. METHODS C57 mice were randomly divided into four groups, including the normal control group (NC group), the Type 2 diabetes group (T2DM group), the metformin group (MET group), and glibenclamide group (GLIB). Fasting blood glucose (FBG), glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), urinary albumin, RBP, PCX, and creatinine were measured. Renal pathology was observed with HE staining. Molecular mechanism of VDR expression are regulated by metformin through wound healing assay, and Western blot analysis of VDR, Ecad, and SMA in HK2 cells. RESULTS In animal experiments, compared with the NC group, the T2DM group showed decreased body weight, increased levels of FBG, HbA1c, UAlb/UCR, URBP/UCR, and UPCX/UCR, decreased levels of VDR protein and mRNA expression in renal tissues (P < 0.05), and significantly increased renal pathological damage in mice in the T2DM group. Compared with the T2DM group, mice in the GLIB and MET groups had higher body weight and lower FBG, HbA1c, UAlb/UCR, URBP/UCR, and UPCX/UCR (P < 0.05). In addition, renal pathological damage was significantly reduced in the MET group compared to the GLIB group. In HK2 cells, high glucose promoted the reduction of VDR and the development of EMT compared to the NC group. In addition, we found that Metformin can up-regulate VDR and inhibit EMT. CONCLUSION Our study shows that the renoprotective effect of metformin is independent of glycemic control and metformin is involved in the progression of EMT by regulating VDR expression.

[PMID: 34307381 PMCID: PMC8299754 DOI: 10.3389/fcell.2021.701788] [Citation(s) in RCA: 35] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/28/2021] [Accepted: 06/04/2021] [Indexed: 12/19/2022] Open
Abstract
Ferroptosis is classified as an iron-dependent form of regulated cell death (RCD) attributed to the accumulation of lipid hydroperoxides and redox imbalance. In recent years, accumulating researches have suggested that ferroptosis may play a vital role in the development of diverse metabolic diseases, for example, diabetes and its complications (e.g., diabetic nephropathy, diabetic cardiomyopathy, diabetic myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury and atherosclerosis [AS]), metabolic bone disease and adrenal injury. However, the specific physiopathological mechanism and precise therapeutic effect is still not clear. In this review, we summarized recent advances about the development of ferroptosis, focused on its potential character as the therapeutic target in metabolic diseases, and put forward our insights on this topic, largely to offer some help to forecast further directions.

Abstract
Abstract
Aim
Oxidative stress due to chronic hyperglycaemia is a key factor in the development and progression of various microvascular complications including diabetic nephropathy (DN) and associated renal injury. Treatment with antioxidants is one of the strategies to protect the kidney from oxidative tissue damage to improve renal physiology during DN. The investigation, therefore, was designed to assess the nephroprotective effect of coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) and N-acetylcysteine (NAC), either alone or in combination in streptozotocin (STZ)-nicotinamide (NAD) induced diabetic nephropathy (DN) in rats.
Methods
T2DM induced by STZ (55 mg/kg, i.p.)-NAD (110 mg/kg, i.p.) in Sprague-Dawley rats (220–250 g) was confirmed by the elevated blood glucose level and glycated haemoglobin. DN was assessed by renal function tests. The diabetic rats were treated with CoQ10 (10 mg/kg, p.o.) and/or NAC (300 mg/kg, p.o.) for 8 weeks after confirmation of DN. Oxidative tissue damage due to STZ-NAD was estimated by malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT), reduced glutathione (GSH), myeloperoxidase (MPO) and nitric oxide (NO) in the renal homogenate.
Results
Data showed significant alteration in serum and urinary creatinine, total protein, albumin, serum urea, blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and uric acid in diabetic animals as compared to the control rats. CoQ10 and/or NAC effectively alleviated the disturbances in renal function. Diabetic rats showed increased MDA, decreased SOD and CAT activities and decreased GSH along with a significant increase in MPO activity and nitrite content. Treatment with the aforementioned antioxidants and their combination ameliorated the kidney damage as indicated by the reduced OS with improved renal function.
Conclusion
The investigation suggests that the chronic hyperglycaemia-induced OS leads to the development and progression of DN. The combined treatment with CoQ10 and NAC has shown a remarkable nephroprotective effect suggesting that combined antioxidant therapy with CoQ10 and NAC may be useful in the attenuation of DN.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a major risk factor for contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI). DM and CI-AKI result in oxidative damage and inflammation that can be reduced when treated with the coenzyme Q-10 (CoQ10). The aim of this study was to investigate the therapeutic potential of CoQ10 in renal function, renal hemodynamics, oxidative profile and renal histology in diabetic rats subjected to CI-AKI. METHODS Wistar rats, male, randomized into five groups: citrate: control animals received citrate buffer (streptozotocin vehicle, 0.4 mL); Tween: control animals of CoQ10 treatment received 1% Tween 80 (CoQ10 vehicle, 0.5 mL); DM: animals that received streptozotocin (60 mg/kg); DM + IC: DM animals treated with iodinated contrast (IC, 6 mL/kg); DM + IC + CoQ10: DM animals treated with CoQ10 (10 mg/kg) and that received IC (6 mL/kg). The protocols lasted 4 weeks. An evaluation was made to measure renal function, inulin clearance and serum creatinine, renal hemodynamics by renal blood flow (RBF) and renal vascular resistance (RVR), markers of oxidative stress such as urinary peroxides and nitrate, lipid peroxidation, thiols in renal tissue and renal histological analysis. RESULTS DM animals showed reduced renal function, which was followed by an increase inserum creatinine and significant reduction of inulin clearance and RBF. It was noticed an increase in RVR and redox imbalance with higher urinary peroxides and nitrate lipid peroxidation levels with depletion of thiols in renal tissue. IC treatment exacerbated these changes in DM + IC. CoQ10 administration ameliorated renal function, prevented hemodynamic changes and neutralized oxidative damage and progression of the histologic damage in the DM + IC + CoQ10 group. CONCLUSION This study demonstrated the renoprotection properties of CoQ10 in an experimental model of risk factor of DM for CI-AKI. CoQ10 presented an antioxidant effect on the CI-AKI in male diabetic rats by improving renal function and renal hemodynamics, preserving morphology and reducing oxidative stress.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is cumulative worldwide and an increasing public health issue. Aside from the widely known protein restriction and medical therapy, less evident is the renal protection of nutrition supplements in CKD patients. This systematic review (SR), using a Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) approach, aims to summarize and quantify evidence about the prevention effects of vitamin D and analogues, omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (omega-3 PUFA), dietary fiber, coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), and biotics on CKD progression. This study was conducted following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement to examine SRs and/or meta-analysis of clinical controlled trials identified from PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library. Finally, seventeen SRs were included in the qualitative analysis. The beneficial effects of these nutrition supplements in CKD patients mostly seem to be at low to very low evidence on proteinuria, kidney function, and inflammations and did not appear to improve CKD prognosis. The recommendation of nutrition supplements in CKD patients needs to discuss with physicians and consider the benefits over the adverse effects. Longer follow-up of larger randomized trials is necessary to clarify the benefits of nutrition supplements in CKD patients.

Abstract
Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is the leading cause of end-stage renal disease (ESRD), with prevalence increasing at an alarming rate worldwide and today, there are no known cures. The pathogenesis of DKD is complex, influenced by genetics and the environment. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms that contribute to DKD risk in about one-third of diabetics are still poorly understood. The early stage of DKD is characterized by glomerular hyperfiltration, hypertrophy, podocyte injury and depletion. Recent evidence of glomerular endothelial cell injury at the early stage of DKD has been suggested to be critical in the pathological process and has highlighted the importance of glomerular intercellular crosstalk. A potential mechanism may include reactive oxygen species (ROS), which play a direct role in diabetes and its complications. In this review, we discuss different cellular sources of ROS in diabetes and a new emerging paradigm of endothelial cell dysfunction as a key event in the pathogenesis of DKD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is the one that of the most common complications of diabetes mellitus (DM). Diabetic patients will experience a high mortality rate when DN progress to end-stage. So, it is extremely important to early treat DN. Although several interventions have been used to treat DN, a conclusive finding has not already been achieved. As one of the most common Chinese medicines, danhong injection (DHI) which has been shown to have various functions has also been prescribed to be as the alternative treatment option. However, no systematic review and meta-analysis has been conducted to objectively and comprehensively investigate its effectiveness and safety. Thus, we designed the current systematic review and meta-analysis to answer whether DHI can be preferably used to timely treat DN. METHODS We will perform a systematic search to capture any potentially eligible studies in several electronic databases including PubMed, Cochrane library, Embase, China National Knowledgement Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang database, and Chinese sci-tech periodical full-text database (VIP) from their inception to August 31, 2020. We will assign 2 independent reviewers to select eligible studies, and assess the quality of included studies with Cochrane risk of bias assessment tool. We will perform all statistical analyses using RevMan 5.3 software. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION We will submit our findings to be taken into consideration for publication in a peer-reviewed academic journal. Meanwhile, we will also communicate our findings in important conferences. PROTOCOL REGISTRY The protocol of this systematic review and meta-analysis has been registered at the International Plateform of Registered Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Protocols (INPLASY) platform (https://inplasy.com/inplasy-2020-9-0005/, registry number: INPLASY202090005) and this protocol was funded through a protocol registry.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is among the common and serious complications of diabetes and is also a major cause of end-stage kidney disease. Early DN is also called diabetic microalbumin period, the main treatment is in the control of blood sugar on the basis of kidney protection and urine lowering protein. There are few effective methods of western medicine treatment, and most of them are accompanied by adverse reactions. But some studies have shown that traditional Chinese medicine has achieved the curative effect and has certain superiority. However, there are few systematic reviews on the treatment of traditional Chinese herbal medicine for early DN currently. Therefore, this study conducted a systematic review of clinical efficacy and safety of Chinese herbal medicine for the treatment of patients with early DN, aim to comprehensively analyze the role of traditional Chinese herbal medicine in the treatment of early DN. METHODS AND ANALYSIS The protocol of this systematic review and meta-analysis was registered on the INPLASY website (https://inplasy.com/inplasy-2020-4-0139/) and INPLASY registration number is INPLASY202040139. A systematic literature search will be conducted in 3 English database and 4 Chinese databases with a language limitation of English and Chinese. Search for clinical research literature on Chinese herbal medicine treatment of DN published in domestic and foreign biomedical journals. The time is limited from January 2010 to February 2020. We will investigate heterogeneity across studies and publication bias. To assess the risk of bias and quality of the included studies, we will use the Cochrane Collaboration's ROB tool. According to the relevant standards in the Cochrane Intervention System Evaluation Manual, it will be divided into low risk, high risk, and unclear. We will also use the RevMan 5.3 software and Stata 13.0 software for meta-analysis of the effectiveness and symptom scores of DN proteinuria. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION The ethical considerations are not required because the systematic review is based on published studies. The systematic review and meta-analysis will be published in a peer-reviewed Journal.

Abstract
Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is a ubiquitous factor present in cell membranes and mitochondria, both in its reduced (ubiquinol) and oxidized (ubiquinone) forms. Its levels are high in organs with high metabolism such as the heart, kidneys, and liver because it acts as an energy transfer molecule but could be reduced by aging, genetic factors, drugs (e.g., statins), cardiovascular (CV) diseases, degenerative muscle disorders, and neurodegenerative diseases. As CoQ10 is endowed with significant antioxidant and anti-inflammatory features, useful to prevent free radical-induced damage and inflammatory signaling pathway activation, its depletion results in exacerbation of inflammatory processes. Therefore, exogenous CoQ10 supplementation might be useful as an adjuvant in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases such as heart failure, atrial fibrillation, and myocardial infarction and in associated risk factors such as hypertension, insulin resistance, dyslipidemias, and obesity. This review aims to summarize the current evidences on the use of CoQ10 supplementation as a therapeutic approach in cardiovascular diseases through the analysis of its clinical impact on patients' health and quality of life. A substantial reduction of inflammatory and oxidative stress markers has been observed in several randomized clinical trials (RCTs) focused on several of the abovementioned diseases, even if more RCTs, involving a larger number of patients, will be necessary to strengthen these interesting findings.

Abstract
Ubiquinone is an important cofactor that plays vital and diverse roles in many biological processes. Ubiquinone-binding proteins (UBPs) are receptor proteins that dock with ubiquinones. Analyzing and identifying UBPs via a computational approach will provide insights into the pathways associated with ubiquinones. In this work, we were the first to propose a UBPs predictor (UBPs-Pred). The optimal feature subset selected from three categories of sequence-derived features was fed into the extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost) classifier, and the parameters of XGBoost were tuned by multi-objective particle swarm optimization (MOPSO). The experimental results over the independent validation demonstrated considerable prediction performance with a Matthews correlation coefficient (MCC) of 0.517. After that, we analyzed the UBPs using bioinformatics methods, including the statistics of the binding domain motifs and protein distribution, as well as an enrichment analysis of the gene ontology (GO) and the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway.
