Objective: To investigate the efficacy of magnesium-strontium co-doped hydroxyapatite mineralized collagen (MSHA/Col) in improving the bone repair microenvironment and enhancing bone regeneration capacity, providing a strategy to address the insufficient biomimetic composition and limited bioactivity of traditional hydroxyapatite mineralized collagen (HA/Col) scaffolds. Methods: A high-molecular-weight polyacrylic acid-stabilized amorphous calcium magnesium strontium phosphate precursor (HPAA/ACMSP) was prepared. Its morphology and elemental distribution were characterized by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and energy-dispersive spectroscopy. Recombinant collagen sponge blocks were immersed in the HPAA/ACMSP mineralization solution. Magnesium-strontium co-doped hydroxyapatite was induced to deposit within collagen fibers (experimental group: MSHA/Col; control group: HA/Col). The morphological characteristics of MSHA/Col were observed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Its crystal structure and chemical composition were analyzed by X-ray diffraction and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, respectively. The mineral phase content was evaluated by thermogravimetric analysis. The scaffold's porosity, ion release, and in vitro degradation performance were also determined. For cytological experiments, CCK-8 assay, live/dead cell staining, alkaline phosphatase staining, alizarin red S staining, RT-qPCR, and western blotting were used to evaluate the effects of the MSHA/Col scaffold on the proliferation, viability, early osteogenic differentiation activity, late mineralization capacity, and gene and protein expression levels of key osteogenic markers [runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2), collagen type Ⅰ (Col-Ⅰ), osteopontin (Opn), and osteocalcin (Ocn)] in mouse embryonic osteoblast precursor cells (MC3T3-E1). Results: HPAA/ACMSP appeared as amorphous spherical nanoparticles under TEM, with energy spectrum analysis showing uniform distribution of carbon, oxygen, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, and strontium elements. SEM results of MSHA/Col indicated successful complete intrafibrillar mineralization. Elemental analysis showed the mass fractions of magnesium and strontium were 0.72% (matching the magnesium content in natural bone) and 2.89%, respectively. X-ray diffraction revealed characteristic peaks of hydroxyapatite crystals (25.86°, 31°-34°). Infrared spectroscopy results showed characteristic absorption peaks for both collagen and hydroxyapatite. Thermogravimetric analysis indicated a mineral phase content of 78.29% in the material. The scaffold porosity was 91.6% ± 1.1%, close to the level of natural bone tissue. Ion release curves demonstrated sustained release behavior for both magnesium and strontium ions. The in vitro degradation rate matched the ingrowth rate of new bone tissue. Cytological experiments showed that MSHA/Col significantly promoted MC3T3-E1 cell proliferation (130% increase in activity at 72 h, P < 0.001). MSHA/Col exhibited excellent efficacy in promoting osteogenic differentiation, significantly upregulating the expression of osteogenesis-related genes and proteins (Runx2, Col-Ⅰ, Opn, Ocn) (P < 0.01). Conclusion The MSHA/Col scaffold achieves dual biomimicry of natural bone in both composition and structure, and effectively promotes osteogenic differentiation at the genetic and protein levels, breaking through the functional limitations of pure hydroxyapatite mineralized collagen. This provides a new strategy for the development of functional bone repair materials

ObjectiveNonalcoholic fatty liver disease （NAFLD） is a metabolic stress liver injury. Ferroptosis is involved in the occurrence and development of NAFLD. Exploring the efficacy and mechanism of schisandrin B in treating NAFLD facilitates the development of strategies for the prevention and treatment of NAFLD. MethodsThe molecular structure of schisandrin B was obtained by searching against PubChem， and the related targets were predicted by SwissTargetPrediction. The active ingredients and their targets were retrieved from the Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database and Analysis Platform （TCMSP） and the high-throughput experiment- and reference-guide database of traditional Chinese medicine （HERB）. GeneCards and FerrDb were searched for the targets of NAFLD and ferroptosis. The common targets were taken as the core targets， and the protein-protein interaction network of the core targets was established. DAVID was used for gene ontology （GO） and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes （KEGG） analyses. Finally， molecular docking was performed between schisandrin B and core targets， and the binding energy was calculated. C57BL/6 mice were fed with a methionine and choline-deficiency （MCD） diet for the modeling of NAFLD. Mice were randomized into normal， model， positive drug （essentiale）， and low- and high-dose schisandrin B groups. The body mass and liver index of mice were measured after drug administration. The levels of alanine aminotransferase （ALT） and aspartate aminotransferase （AST） in the serum and those of total cholesterol （TC）， triglyceride （TG）， malondialdehyde （MDA）， glutathione （GSH）， and Fe²⁺ in the liver homogenate were measured by biochemical assay kits. The pathological changes of the liver tissue were observed by hematoxylin-eosin （HE） and red oil O staining. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was employed to determine the levels of interleukin （IL）-6， IL-1β， tumor necrosis factor （TNF）-α， and 4-hydroxynonenal （4-HNE） in the serum. Western blotting and real-time PCR were employed to determine the protein and mRNA levels， respectively， of solute carrier family 7 member 11 （SLC7A11）， solute carrier family 3 member 2 （SLC3A2）， glutathione peroxidase 4 （GPX4）， transferrin， and ferritin heavy chain （FTH） in the liver tissue. ResultsA total of 2 370， 2 547， and 1 451 targets of schisandrin B， NAFLD， and ferroptosis were obtained， in which 90 common targets were shared by the three. Enrichment analyses predicted 505 GO terms and 92 KEGG pathways. Molecular docking suggested that schizandrin B had strong binding affinity with the key targets of ferropstosis （SLC7A11 and SLC3A2）. Animal experiments showed that schizandrin B significantly decreased the liver index， lowered the levels of ALT， AST， TC， TG， IL-6， IL-1β， and TNF-α， alleviated hepatocyte ballooning and inflammatory cell infiltration， and reduced lipid accumulation in the liver of NAFLD mice. In addition， schisandrin B significantly lowered the levels of MDA， 4-HNE， and Fe²⁺， elevated the level of GSH， up-regulated the protein and mRNA levels of SLC7A11， SLC3A2， and GPX4， and down-regulated the protein and mRNA levels of transferrin in the liver tissue. ConclusionSchisandrin B can alleviate NAFLD by inhibiting ferroptosis in hepatocytes.

ObjectiveTo investigate the efficacy and underlying mechanisms of Gynostemma pentaphyllum alcohol extract in improving glucose and lipid metabolism disorders in db/db mice through transcriptomics and gut microbiota analysis. MethodsEighteen db/db mice were randomly assigned to the model（DM） group， metformin（MET） group， and G. pentaphyllum alcohol extract（GP） group， with six mice in each group， based on stratification of fasting blood glucose and body weight. An additional six db/m mice were selected as the normal control（NC） group. Mice in the NC and DM groups were administered deionized water （10 mL·kg^-1） daily. The MET group received metformin （0.195 g·kg^-1） by gavage. The GP group was treated with G. pentaphyllum alcohol extract （3.9 g·kg^-1） by gavage for six weeks. Fasting blood glucose was measured every two weeks. After six weeks of intervention， serum levels of total cholesterol （TC）， triglycerides （TG）， low-density lipoprotein cholesterol （LDL-C）， high-density lipoprotein cholesterol （HDL-C）， aspartate aminotransferase （AST）， alanine aminotransferase （ALT）， creatinine （CREA）， and blood urea nitrogen （BUN） were assessed. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA） was used to measure insulin （FINS）， adiponectin （ADP）， and tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α）. Hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining was used to observe liver histomorphology， periodic acid-Schiff （PAS） staining was employed to assess hepatic glycogen synthesis， and Oil Red O staining was used to detect hepatic lipid deposition. Liver transcriptomic data were used to identify differentially expressed genes in the liver and conduct enrichment analysis. Real-time PCR was employed to verify the expression levels of adiponectin gene （Adipoq）， peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator-1α （PGC-1α）， AMP-activated protein kinase （AMPK）， peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α （PPARα）， glucokinase （GCK）， forkhead box （Fox）O1， FoxO3， phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase （PEPCK）， and glucose-6-phosphatase （G6PC）. Metagenomic sequencing was conducted to analyze changes in gut microbiota composition. ResultsCompared with the NC group， the DM group exhibited significantly elevated fasting blood glucose （P<0.01）， serum AST， ALT， TC， TG， LDL-C， and HDL-C （P<0.01）. FINS， homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance （HOMA-IR）， and the inflammatory cytokine TNF-α were significantly increased （P<0.01）， while ADP was significantly decreased （P<0.05）. Histological analysis confirmed severe hepatic steatosis and excessive lipid accumulation in the DM group， along with markedly reduced glycogen synthesis. Compared with the DM group， the GP group showed significantly decreased fasting blood glucose （P<0.01）， reduced serum TC， LDL-C， and HDL-C levels （P<0.05）， significantly decreased serum TG and AST levels （P<0.01）， significantly reduced FINS， HOMA-IR， and TNF-α levels （P<0.01）， and significantly increased ADP （P<0.01）. Hepatic steatosis and lipid deposition were significantly alleviated， while glycogen synthesis was markedly enhanced. Transcriptomic differential and enrichment analyses suggested that the mechanisms by which G. pentaphyllum alcohol extract improved hepatic glucose and lipid metabolism in db/db mice may involve regulation of the AMPK and FoxO signaling pathways. Real-time PCR results confirmed that expression of PGC-1α， PEPCK， G6PC， FoxO1， and FoxO3 was significantly downregulated following treatment with G. pentaphyllum alcohol extract （P<0.05， P<0.01）， whereas mRNA expression of Adipoq， PPARα， GCK， and AMPK was significantly upregulated （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Metagenomic analysis showed that the relative abundance of Lactobacillus， Alistipes， and Akkermansia species was higher in the GP group than in the DM group. ConclusionG. pentaphyllum alcohol extract may improve glucose and lipid metabolism disorders in db/db mice by regulating the hepatic AMPK/PPARα pathway to suppress lipid deposition and alleviate hepatic steatosis， by inhibiting gluconeogenesis through the AMPK/PGC-1α and FoxO pathways to lower fasting blood glucose， and by increasing the abundance of beneficial gut bacteria such as Lactobacillus， Alistipes， and Akkermansia to restore gut microbiota balance.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the acupoint selection patterns and core prescriptions of acupuncture for polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) using data mining, and to explore the molecular mechanisms of core acupoints through network acupuncture medicine. METHODS: The randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on acupuncture for PCOS published from January 1, 2004 to July 21, 2024 were retrieved from CNKI, VIP, Wanfang, PubMed, and Web of Science databases. R software (version 4.4.0) was used for acupoint frequency and association rule analysis to identify core acupoint prescriptions. Potential targets were predicted via the STITCH and Swiss Target Prediction databases, and a "core prescription-active compounds-targets- PCOS" network was constructed. Cytoscape 3.7.1 was applied to build protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks of potential targets of core acupoint prescriptions. Key therapeutic targets were subjected to gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes (KEGG) enrichment analyses using the DAVID and Microbioinformatics platforms. RESULTS: A total of 176 RCTs were included, covering 208 prescriptions and 89 acupoints. The five most frequently used acupoints were Guanyuan (CV4), Sanyinjiao (SP6), Zigong (EX-CA1), Zusanli (ST36) and Zhongji (CV3). Association rule analysis yielded 13 core acupoint combinations, with Guanyuan (CV4), Sanyinjiao (SP6), Zigong (EX-CA1) and Zusanli (ST36) as the core prescription. Twenty-seven active compounds were involved, with 852 potential therapeutic targets, among which 208 targets overlapped with PCOS-related targets. Network acupuncture medicine analysis suggested that the core prescription may act through targets such as estrogen receptor 1 (ESR1), proto-oncogene tyrosine-protein kinase Src (SRC), signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3), peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARG), and RAC-alpha serine/threonine-protein kinase (AKT1). GO and KEGG analyses indicated that the main pathways included the hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1) signaling pathway, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-protein kinase B (PI3K-AKT) signaling pathway, and advanced glycation end products-receptor for advanced glycation end products (AGE-RAGE) signaling pathway, involving processes such as signal transduction, receptor complex formation, and cytokine activity. CONCLUSION The core acupoint prescription for PCOS might exert therapeutic effects through multiple targets and pathways, providing a theoretical basis for mechanistic research on acupoint prescriptions.

Proteolysis-targeting chimeras (PROTACs) represent a promising class of drugs that can target disease-causing proteins more effectively than traditional small molecule inhibitors can, potentially revolutionizing drug discovery and treatment strategies. However, the links between in vitro and in vivo data are poorly understood, hindering a comprehensive understanding of the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) of PROTACs. In this work, ¹⁴C-labeled vepdegestrant (ARV-471), which is currently in phase III clinical trials for breast cancer, was synthesized as a model PROTAC to characterize its preclinical ADME properties and simulate its clinical pharmacokinetics (PK) by establishing a physiologically based pharmacokinetics (PBPK) model. For in vitro-in vivo extrapolation (IVIVE), hepatocyte clearance correlated more closely with in vivo rat PK data than liver microsomal clearance did. PBPK models, which were initially developed and validated in rats, accurately simulate ARV-471's PK across fed and fasted states, with parameters within 1.75-fold of the observed values. Human models, informed by in vitro ADME data, closely mirrored postoral dose plasma profiles at 30 mg. Furthermore, no human-specific metabolites were identified in vitro and the metabolic profile of rats could overlap that of humans. This work presents a roadmap for developing future PROTAC medications by elucidating the correlation between in vitro and in vivo characteristics.

Objective:To compare the parameters for infra-acetabular screw placement between men and women using a digital Chinese anatomical model of the pelvis and acetabulum.Methods:The normal pelvic CT data were collected from the 163 adult patients who had been admitted to the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region from January 2018 to December 2021. There were 61 males and 102 females with an age of 53.0 (45.0, 60.0) years. Mimics 21.0 software was used to reconstruct the three dimensional pelvis which was then imported into Autodesk maya 2022 software before the model was flattened. Polygonal modeling tools were used to create a cylinder to simulate an infra-acetabular screw for length and angle measurements of the screw. The diameters of the infra-acetabular screws were measured by axial fluoroscopy in Mimics 21.0 software. The maximum diameters and maximum lengths of the infra-acetabular bone channel were compared between males and females, and the angles between the axis of the infra-acetabular screw and the anterior pelvic plane and the median sagittal plane were also compared between genders.Results:The maximum diameters of the left and right infra-acetabular corridors were 5.24 (4.26, 6.38) mm and 5.04 (4.50, 6.57) mm in males, and 3.99 (3.81, 4.51) mm and 3.89 (3.65, 4.90) mm in females; the maximum lengths of the left and right infra-acetabular corridors were (98.43±4.42) mm and (98.01±5.08) mm in males and 87.73 (84.22, 90.98) mm and 87.51 (84.59, 90.15) mm in females. The left and right angles between the infra-acetabular screw axis and the median sagittal plane were -0.98°±4.79° and -1.08°±4.91° in men, and 6.20° (3.34°, 11.16°) and 6.44° (3.77°, 11.85°) in women. The differences in the above data between men and women were statistically significant ( P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference between men and women in the angle between the infra-acetabular screw axis and the anterior pelvic plane ( P>0.05). Conclusions:The length and diameter of the infra-acetabular corridor in males are greater than those in females, the angle between the infra-acetabular corridor and the sagittal plane in males is smaller than that in females, and the infra-acetabular corridor in males is more parallel to the sagittal plane. Therefore, the fluoroscopy angle should be adjusted for males to reduce the difficulty in screw placement when an infra-acetabular screw is placed during surgery.
