Background Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are persistent organic pollutants widely distributed in the environment. Epidemiological studies have shown that PFAS exposure is closely associated with liver dysfunction and an increased risk of liver cancer. Some animal and cell experiments have also revealed its hepatotoxicity and potential carcinogenicity; however, the related carcinogenic mechanism has not yet been fully elucidated. Objective To explore the potential molecular mechanism of PFAS-induced liver cancer, identify the key causal genes, and specifically evaluate the causal association and expression changes of KMT2C in this process, as well as the binding stability between KMT2C and PFAS, and to provid a theoretical basis for mechanistic studies and molecular target discovery in PFAS-related liver cancer. Methods Toxicity prediction was performed on six representative PFAS. Potential target genes of PFAS were identified by integrating results from SwissTargetPrediction, STITCH, and TargetNet databases. Liver cancer-related genes were retrieved from GeneCards, Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM), and Therapeutic Target Database (TTD). The intersection of PFAS targets and liver cancer-related genes was used to obtain core genes. A compound-gene-disease regulatory network was constructed, and a protein–protein interaction network was established using STRING database. A core gene network was visualized based on node degree values. Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analyses were performed to explore biological functions and enriched signaling pathways. Subsequently, two-sample Mendelian randomization was employed to assess potential causal relationships between candidate genes and hepatocellular carcinoma, enabling the identification of key genes. Molecular docking analysis using AutoDock was conducted to evaluate the binding stability between KMT2C and PFAS, and TCGA data were used to validate the differential expression of KMT2C between hepatocellular carcinoma and adjacent normal tissues. Results PFAS exhibited multisystem toxicity and posed significant risks of liver injury and carcinogenesis. A total of 266 PFAS target genes and 2923 liver cancer-related genes were identified, with 61 intersecting genes obtained. The enrichment analysis revealed that these intersecting genes were primarily involved in epigenetic regulation, nuclear receptor signaling pathways, and apoptosis-related pathways including TGF-β FoxO and Notch, suggesting their roles in diverse tumor-related biological processes. The two-sample Mendelian randomization results showed a significant negative causal association between KMT2C and hepatocellular carcinoma (OR=0.68, P <0.05). The molecular docking results demonstrated that all tested PFAS exhibited favorable binding to the KMT2C protein, with binding energies below –5.0 kcal·mol⁻¹. KMT2C was significantly upregulated in hepatocellular carcinoma tissues (unpaired P=0.025; paired P=8.38 × 10⁻⁴). Conclusion The KMT2C protein is found to stably bind with all six PFAS, exhibiting strong structural affinity. A causal relationship is identified between KMT2C and the development of hepatocellular carcinoma. TCGA data indicate that KMT2C is significantly upregulated in hepatocellular carcinoma tissues, and it may serve as a key regulatory target in PFAS-related liver cancer.

Objective To investigate the effect of β-arrestin1(ARRB1)on cell proliferation,migration and invasion in oral squamous cell carcinoma(OSCC).Methods Based on The Cancer Genome Atlas(TCGA)database,the expression profiles of ARRB1 in OSCC were analyzed,and then Gene Set Enrichment Analysis(GSEA)was used to suggest the possible signaling pathways involved,and to explore its potential impact on the prognosis of OSCC patients.Immuinohistochemistry(IHC)was performed to detect the expression of ARRB1 in OSCC tumor tissues and adjacent tissues,and the correlation between ARRB1 expression and clinicopathological features was statistically analyzed.The expression profiles of ARRB1 in SCC-15,CAL-27 and HOK cell lines were verified by qPCR and Western blotting.The ARRB1 overexpression plasmid model was constructed,and its effects on the proliferation,migration and invasion of OSCC cells were analyzed by clone formation,EdU,scratch and Transwell assays.Results TCGA showed that the expression level of ARRB1 was significantly lower in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma(HNSC)and OSCC tissues than the corresponding normal tissues(P<0.01).The expression of ARRB1 in OSCC tissues was correlated with tumor differentiation,lymph node metastasis and TNM stage(P<0.05).The OSCC patients with high expression of ARRB1 had a lower survival rate than those with low expression(P<0.01),which was consistent with the results of bioinformatics analysis.The expression level of ARRB1 in SCC-15 and CAL-27 cells was lower than that of HOK cells(P<0.01),and its overexpression significantly inhibited cell proliferation(P<0.05),migration(P<0.01)and invasion(P<0.01).Conclusion ARRB1 is lowly expressed in OSCC,its overexpression inhibits the proliferation,migration and invasion of OSCC cells,and it is related to prognosis improvement.

Nonunion of osteoporotic vertebral fractures (OVF), predominantly affecting the elderly, can lead to intractable pain, vertebral collapse, progressive kyphotic deformity, and neurological impairment, significantly compromising patients′ quality of life. There exists considerable debate on diagnosis and management of OVF, encompassing key issues such as clinical diagnosis and staging criteria for nonunion, surgical indications and procedure selection, and postoperative rehabilitation planning. Currently, there lacks standardized clinical guideline and expert consensus on the diagnosis and management of OVF nonunion in China. To address this gap, Minimally Invasive Surgery Group of Chinese Orthopedic Association, Osteoporosis Committee of Chinese Association of Orthopedic Surgeons, Prevention and Rehabilitation Committee for Osteoporosis of Chinese Association of Rehabilitation Medicine and Minimally Invasive Orthopedic Surgery Branch of China Association for Geriatric Care jointly organized domestic experts in spinal surgery, endocrinology, and rehabilitation to formulate the Clinical guideline for the diagnosis and treatment for nonunion of osteoporotic vertebral fractures ( version 2025), based on existing literature and clinical experience and adhering to principles of scientific rigor and practicality. The guideline provided 13 evidence-based recommendations encompassing diagnosis and treatment of OVF nonunion, aiming to standardize its clinical management.

Objective:To analyze the clinical efficacy of the Schroth therapy in the treatment of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.Methods:Relevant clinical studies on Schroth therapy for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis were retrieved from CNKI, Wanfang Data, SinoMed, Chinese Medical Journal Full-text Database, PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science. The search time was from the establishment of the database to November 2024. Two authors independently conducted the literature search and imported all potentially eligible studies into EndNote X9 to determine whether the studies met the inclusion criteria. If there was any disagreement, the two parties would discuss and solve it or add a third author for judgment. The scoliosis Cobb angle and the Scoliosis Research Society question-naires-22 (SRS-22) or SRS-23 were extracted from the scoliosis after treatment. The Schroth therapy was compared with other conservative treatment methods (functional exercise or no intervention). The modified Jadad scale was used to evaluate the quality of the included randomized controlled trials. When the heterogeneity between groups was small, the fixed-effect model was used for analysis, and when the heterogeneity between groups was large, the random-effect model was used for analysis. Sensitivity analysis was used to evaluate the stability of the meta-analysis results.Results:A total of 189 patients from 8 literatures were included in the meta-analysis, including 2 Chinese literatures and 6 English literatures, all of which were randomized controlled trials, with a modified Jadad score of 4-6 points. The results of meta-analysis showed that the Cobb angle of Schroth therapy in the treatment of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis was smaller than that of functional exercise or no intervention [ WMD=-3.63, 95% CI (-4.76, -2.51), P<0.001]. SRS-22 or SRS-23 was superior to functional exercise or no intervention [ WMD=0.23, 95% CI(0.14, 0.32), P<0.001], and the difference was statistically significant. The results of subgroup analysis showed that the Cobb angle of Schroth treatment was smaller than that of other conservative treatment methods such as functional exercise [ WMD=-3.48, 95% CI(-4.76, -2.20), P<0.001]. Conclusion:Compared with other conservative treatment methods and no intervention, Schroth therapy can effectively improve the Cobb angle and quality of life in the treatment of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.
