OBJECTIVE To explore the improvement effect and mechanism of salidroside on radiation-induced parotid gland injury in rats. METHODS Rats were randomly assigned into normal group， radiation group， salidroside low-dose （salidroside-L， 50 mg/kg） group， salidroside high-dose （salidroside-H， 100 mg/kg） group， and salidroside-H+inhibitor （100 mg/kg salidroside+0.1 µmol/kg H-89） group， with 10 rats in each group. Except for the normal group， rats in the other groups were subjected to radiation exposure to establish a model of radiation-induced parotid gland injury. Rats in each group were intraperitoneally injected with the corresponding drug or normal saline， once a day， for 40 consecutive days. After the last administration， the levels of reactive oxygen species （ROS）， cyclic adenosine monophosphate （cAMP）， superoxide dismutase （SOD）， and amylase in serum were detected； the pathological changes of parotid gland tissue were observed； the apoptosis rate of parotid gland tissue cells， the expression levels of B-cell lymphoma-2 （Bcl-2） and its associated X protein （Bax）， mRNA expression levels of interleukin-6 （IL- 6） and tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α）， the protein expression levels of type Ⅲ collagen （Col Ⅲ）， vasoactive intestinal peptide （VIP）， and the phosphorylation level of protein kinase A （PKA） in parotid gland tissue were determined. RESULTS Compared with normal group， the levels of ROS， amylase， apoptosis rate， Bax expression level， mRNA expression levels of IL-6 and TNF- α， and protein expression level of Col Ⅲ in the radiation group were significantly increased， while the levels of cAMP， SOD， Bcl-2 expression level， VIP protein expression level and PKA phosphorylation level were significantly decreased （P＜0.05）. Compared with radiation group， the above indicators in the salidroside-L group and salidroside-H group were significantly improved （P＜0.05）， and the improvement in the salidroside-H group was more significant （P＜0.05）； inhibitor H-89 significantly reversed the changes in the above indicators of the salidroside-H group （P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS Salidroside can effectively alleviate radiation-induced parotid gland injury in rats， and its mechanism may be related to the activation of the VIP-cAMP pathway.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of albumin bound paclitaxel(nab-PTX)and solvent based paclitaxel(sb-PTX)in neoadjuvant chemotherapy(NACT)for advanced epithelial ovarian cancer(EOC).Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 107 patients with advanced EOC who un-derwent preoperative NACT in the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University from June 11,2018 to Sep-tember 19,2023.Among them,52 patients were treated with nab-PTX combined with carboplatin intravenous chemotherapy(nab-PTX group),and 55 with sb-PTX combined with carboplatin intravenous chemotherapy(sb-PTX group).The clinical indicators after NACT,intraoperative conditions of cytoreductive surgery and ad-verse events during the NACT were compared in two groups.Results:The maximum tumor diameter(3.7 cm vs.3.8 cm),CA125(28.9 U/ml vs.31.6 U/ml)and HE4(102.5 U/ml vs.119.0 U/ml)levels in the nab PTX group after NACT were significantly lower than those in the sb-PTX group,and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.001).After NACT,the total input(2580 ml vs.2100 ml),the proportion of surgical complexity score(36.54％vs.18.18％),and lymph node resection rate(57.69％vs.29.09％)in the nab-PTX group were significantly higher than those in the sb-PTX group(P＜0.05).There was no statistically significant difference(P＞0.05)in the amount of ascites,clinical efficacy evaluation,ORR,DCR,surgical time,intraoperative bleeding,total output,postoperative hospital stays,surgical satisfaction,pathological complete response rate(pCR),transfu-sion of blood products,lymph node metastasis and adverse effects during NACT between the two groups.Con-clusions:Nab-PTX has a better clinical disease control effect than sb-PTX in NACT,in order to achieve better cy-toreductive surgery,but it has no significant effect on pathological remission.The safety of the two drugs is similar.

The utilization of optimal orthodontic force is crucial to prevent undesirable side effects and ensure efficient tooth movement during orthodontic treatment.However,the sensitivity of existing detection techniques is not sufficient,and the criteria for evaluating optimal force have not been yet established.Here,by employing 3D finite element analysis methodology,we found that the apical distal region(A-D region)of mesial roots is particularly sensitive to orthodontic force in rats.Tartrate-resistant acidic phosphatase(TRAP)-positive osteoclasts began accumulating in the A-D region under the force of 40 grams(g),leading to alveolar bone resorption and tooth movement.When the force reached 80 g,TRAP-positive osteoclasts started appearing on the root surface in the A-D region.Additionally,micro-computed tomography revealed a significant root resorption at 80 g.Notably,the A-D region was identified as a major contributor to whole root resorption.It was determined that 40 g is the minimum effective force for tooth movement with minimal side effects according to the analysis of tooth movement,inclination,and hyalinization.These findings suggest that the A-D region with its changes on the root surface is an important consideration and sensitive indicator when evaluating orthodontic forces for a rat model.Collectively,our investigations into this region would aid in offering valuable implications for preventing and minimizing root resorption during patients'orthodontic treatment.
