Cardiovascular diseases(CVDs) is the leading cause of death worldwide, and vascular aging is inextricably linked to the onset and development of CVDs. Vascular morphological and functional alternations such as arterial stiffening, endothelial dysfunction and vascular remodeling that accompany the aging process of the vasculature are important drivers of many CVDs. Numerous mechanisms, such as oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, chronic low-grade inflammation, genomic instability, and protein imbalance, have been implicated in the development of vascular aging in current studies. However, recent research has brought attention to the distinct impact of perivascular adipose tissue(PVAT) on vascular biology. As an important component of the vascular system, PVAT plays a role in supporting the vasculature, while the adipokines derived from it, including adiponectin, leptin, resistin and pro-/anti-inflammatory cytokines could regulate vascular inflammation and oxidative stress, vascular remodeling and cellular senescence via an endocrine and paracrine manner. Thus, this paper reviewed the changes of PVAT secretome and their impact on vascular senescence under various pathophysiological conditions, and summarized the drugs that target PVAT to mitigate vascular aging by attenuating PVAT inflammation and oxidative stress, inducing PVAT browning, and regulating PVAT secretome, with the aim of offering fresh insight for the prevention of premature vascular senescence and related CVDs.

Objective:To compare the effects of glenosphere offset positions on the impingement-free range of motion (ROM) in reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA).Methods:Shoulder joint models were reconstructed using shoulder CT scans of 6 patients with primary osteoarthritis. RTSA was performed virtually according to standard surgical procedures, and shoulder movements were simulated. Reverse shoulder models were constructed with 2 lateral offsets (0 and 4 mm) and 6 positional offsets (center, inferior, posterior, anterior, anterior-inferior, and posterior-inferior). The impingement-free ROM and impingement sites for abduction-adduction, flexion-extension, total rotation (sum of internal and external rotation), and total ROM (sum of ROM in all movement modes) were evaluated.Results:All the 12 combinations of different glenosphere offsets achieved 50% of the original shoulder ROM in all movements. In the abduction-adduction motion with 0 and 4 mm lateral offsets, the anterior-inferior offset provided the largest ROM (94.4°±8.7° and 105.3°±6.9°, respectively), but there was no significant difference between the positions ( P>0.05). In the flexion-extension motion with 0 and 4 mm lateral offsets, the posterior-inferior offset showed the largest ROM (194.1°±6.9° and 196.9°±9.7°, respectively), but there was no significant difference between the positions ( P>0.05). In the total rotation motion with 0 and 4 mm lateral offsets, the anterior-inferior offset had the largest ROM (141.5°±5.9° and 160.6°±8.5°, respectively), showing significant advantages over the center, anterior, and posterior offsets ( P<0.05), but insignificant advantages over the inferior and posterior-inferior offsets ( P>0.05). In total ROM, the anterior-inferior offset provided the largest ROM. When the lateral offset was 0 mm, the anterior-inferior offset provided a ROM of 421.8°±16.4°, showing significant advantages over the center and posterior offsets ( P<0.05). Compared with the lateral glenosphere offset of 0 mm, the lateral glenosphere offset of 4 mm significantly improved total shoulder ROM (122.8°±10.6° versus 145.8°±4.8°) and total ROM (390.9°±11.6° versus 428.4°±19.8°) ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The anterior-inferior, inferior, and posterior-inferior glenosphere offsets can improve ROM in all movement patterns. The position and lateral offset of the glenosphere significantly affect the total rotation and total ROM of the shoulder joint. Specifically, the anterior-inferior and inferior offsets show significant advantages over the center position in total rotation and total ROM of the shoulder joint.

Objective:To study the clinical efficacy of digital design combined with three-dimensional (3D) printing model minimally invasive extraction of complex impacted mandibular third molars.Methods:Eight patients who visited the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology from April 2023 to March 2024 were included, including 3 males and 5 females, aged from 27 to 57 years old. The impacted mandibular third molars of all patients were closely related to the mandibular canal, and part of the dental tissue entered the mandibular canal. Preoperative digital design was used to simulate the intraoperative tooth segmentation and bone removal operation of the power system and the segmented tooth dislocation path, and analyze the tooth extraction resistance. The mandibular teeth, mandibular canal and mandibular model were three-dimensionally printed using light-curing resin inkjet. During the operation, an endoscope was used combined with the 3D printed model to minimally invasively extract the impacted mandibular third molar. Quantitative sensory testing of the patient′s lower lip skin on the operated side was performed before surgery, 2 days after surgery, and 7 days after surgery. Clinical data such as operation time were collected. A paired sample t test was performed on the 2 and 7 days postoperative data and the preoperative data to compare the data differences.Results:All 8 patients successfully completed preoperative design, model printing and minimally invasive surgery. The number of teeth segmented in the preoperative design was (4.4±1.3), and the number of teeth segmented in the actual operation was (4.0±1.1). The operation time was (33.3±13.0) min. None of the patients had postoperative numbness of the lower lip or other postoperative complication. It was observed endoscopically that the inferior alveolar neurovascular bundle was exposed in the extraction socket during the operation. The patient′s pressure pain threshold 2 days after surgery (0.601±1.170) was significantly lower than before surgery (1.251±1.109) ( t=2.83, P=0.025). Conclusions:For complicated impacted mandibular third molars, digital design combined with 3D printing model can be used to perform minimally invasive extraction with the assistance of an endoscope.

OBJECTIVE To explore the effect mechanism of Eucommia ulmoides on improving postpartum depression in rats. METHODS Pregnant rats were randomly divided into normal group， postpartum depression group， and low-dose and high-dose groups of E. ulmoides （1.34， 2.68 g/kg， calculated by crude drug）， with 10 rats in each group. Except for the normal group， the rats in other groups suffered from fear stress to induce postpartum depression model during pregnancy； at the same time of modeling， the administration groups were given relevant medicine intragastrically， while the normal group and postpartum depression group were given physiological saline intragastrically for 21 days. Postpartum behaviors of rats during the experiment were assessed using the open field test， Morris water maze test and sucrose preference test. Additionally， the levels of corticosterone （CORT） in serum， corticotropin releasing factor （CRF） and urocortin （UCN） in hypothalamus， and adrenocorticotropic hormone （ACTH） in hypophysis were detected； meanwhile， the protein expressions of CRF receptor 1 （CRFR1）， CRFR2， and voltage-dependent anion channel 1 （VDAC1） in hippocampal tissue were measured； the proportions of apoptotic cells and JC-1 high potential cells in hippocampal tissue were determined， and the morphology of hippocampal tissue was observed. RESULTS Compared with postpartum depression group， the high-dose group of E. ulmoides showed improvements in appetite， mental state， and hair color in rats； their body weight had increased； the scores of vertical movement， horizontal movement and self-sorting significantly increased； from the 2ed to 4th day avoidance latency significantly shortened， and the times of crossing the platform and the time of crossing the platform Δ 基金项目国家自然科学基金青年基金项目（No.82204789） significantly increased/prolonged （P＜0.05）； the ratio of glucose and water consumption significantly increased at 20 days of pregnancy and 30 days postpartum （P＜0.05）； the levels of CRF， UCN， ACTH and CORT， phagocytic rate， protein expressions of CRFR2 and VDAC1， and the proportion of apoptosis cells in hippocampal tissue were decreased significantly （P＜0.05）； the proportion of JC-1 high potential cells significantly increased （P＜0.05）， and the phenomenon of edema around neuronal cells was significantly improved. CONCLUSIONS E. ulmoides can improve postpartum depression by inhibiting excessive activation of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis， decreasing the expression of CRFR2， thereby inhibiting the expression of VDAC1， and decreasing the apoptosis of neuronal cells.

OBJECTIVE To mine the adverse drug event （ADE） signals of selinexor， and to provide reference for its clinical safety medication. METHODS ADE data for selinexor reported from July 3rd， 2019 to March 31st， 2023 were collected from the FDA adverse event reporting system （FAERS）. Data mining was performed by using the reporting odds ratio （ROR） and proportional reporting ratio （PRR） methods， and categorization statistics were performed by using the system organ class （SOC） and preferred term （PT） from drug ADE terminology set in the MedDRA （version 26.0）. RESULTS A total of 3 084 ADE reports were obtained for selinexor， with a total of 134 ADE-positive signals. Among the reported genders， there were 127 males and 124 females， with a predominant age of ≥65 years old （4.12%）； the United States had the highest number of reports （96.53%）， with consumers being the main reporters （77.27%）； severe ADR was mainly characterized by hospitalization/prolonged hospitalization （26.26%）， followed by death （17.15%）. The top 3 ADE in the list of frequency were nausea （1 162 times）， fatigue （790 times） and anorexia （610 times）， all of which were mentioned in the selinexor’s instructions. The top 3 signals in the list of strength were device-associated bacteremia （ROR＝115.07， PRR＝114.94）， blepharospasm dysfunction （ROR＝106.70， PRR＝106.54）， and salmonella sepsis （ROR＝99.90， PRR＝99.81）， all of which were not mentioned in the selinexor’s instructions. CONCLUSIONS In addition to the ADE of nausea mentioned in the instruction manual， attention should also paid to device-associated bacteremia， blepharospasm dysfunction， salmonella sepsis， and other ADE not mentioned in the instruction manual when using selinexor in clinical practice； weekly rechecking of the patient’s blood routine should be done to monitor the patient’s blood indexes， symptoms of infection， and so on， to ensure that the safety of 1661962346@qq.com drug use.

Astrocytes(AS)are the most abundant glial cells in the central nervous system and are involved in many physiological and pathological processes in the nervous system.Alterations in their phenotype are particularly important for the health of the CNS.Epigenetic mechanisms,including DNA methylation,histone modification,non-coding RNA regulation,and chromatin remodeling,are closely linked to alterations in AS proliferation,differentiation,inflammation,and other phenotypic features,but how these mechanisms function needs to be explored and summarized.By reviewing the recent advances in the role of epigenetic mechanisms in AS under various physiological and pathological states,we aim to provide new ideas for the understanding and treatment of related diseases.

Both morbidity and mortality of gastric cancer are in the front rank among malignant tumors.At present,enhanced CT is served as an important imaging method for preoperative diagnosis and assessment of gastric cancer,but it is mostly based on morphological evaluation and unable to perform quantitative analysis.The functional imaging technology represented by energy spectral CT and CT perfusion imaging has a variety of quantitative parameters,which is expected to make up for the shortcomings of conventional CT.The review introduces the basic principles of energy spectral CT and CT perfusion imaging,and summarizes their applications in the diagnosis,pathological classification,grading,staging and efficacy prediction of gastric cancer,aiming to improve the understanding of functional CT imaging for the pretreatment assessment in gastric cancer.

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors(GISTs)are the most common mesenchymal tumors of the gastrointestinal tract,and they are also genetically heterogeneous tumors.c-KIT gene or PDGFRA gene mutation is the main driving factor leading to its occurrence,and it is also one of the key factors affecting the treatment and prognosis of patients with GISTs.Imaging examination is non-invasive and can display tumors from multiple angles and directions,making it the main method for preoperative evaluation of GISTs.With the continuous development of imaging technology,non-invasive and definite genotyping of GISTs by imaging methods before surgery plays a positive role in the selection of targeted drugs and doses for patients and the evaluation of targeted treatment efficacy.This article reviews the imaging progress on the genotype of GISTs and the efficacy of targeted therapy.
