Objective:To establish an animal model of trans-sutural distraction osteogenesis in SD rats.Methods:A self-designed V-shaped distraction device(distractor)was fabricated with the traction force(N)of 0,1.3,2.2,3.0,4.3 and 5.0 corresponding to the distraction length(mm)of 5,4,3,2,1 and 0 respectively,meeting the trans-sutural distraction osteogenesis requirements in skull of 5-week-old SD rats.The distractor was plased into the sagittal suture of 12 SD rats.Continuous sampling was conducted 1,3,5 and 7 days respectively(n=3)after operation.The tissue changes in the trans-sutural distraction area were observed by HE and Masson's trichrome staining.Inflammation levels were determined using Arg-1 immunofluorescence staining.The early angiogenesis was clarified through co-staining with CD31 and EMCN.Results:A stable trans-sutural distraction osteogenesis model was estab-lished,5 mm distraction osteogenesis width was observed completely within 7 days of distraction.Significant new bone formation was observed at 7 days after operation.Arg-1 expression increased and was concentrated at the bone margins,overlapping with the areas of new bone formation.EMCN expression gradually decreased,and by day 7 CD31 was predominant,indicating the basic maturation of blood vessels.Conclusion:This study successfully constructed a stable and effective trans-sutural distraction osteogenesis animal model,and provides an experimental basis for the investigation of its early continuous histological changes.

Prostate cancer (PCa) is one of the most common malignant tumors in the male genitourinary system. The phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (Akt) signaling pathway is a carcinogenic pathway responsible for the migration, proliferation, and drug resistance of various cancers. In recent years, as the research on the pathogenesis of PCa is deepening, the role of the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway in the development of PCa has attracted much attention. Traditional Chinese medicine, comprehensively regulating multiple components, targets, and pathways, has shown great potential in the treatment of PCa. This article reviews the research progress of traditional Chinese medicine targeting the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway in the treatment of PCa and discusses the expression of the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway in PCa, which involves inhibiting apoptosis of PCa cells, promoting the cell cycle, invasion, and migration of PCa cells, promoting tumor tissue angiogenesis, and mediating the androgen receptor. Additionally, it summarizes the single Chinese medicines that target and regulate this pathway, including Hedyotis diffusa, Taxus chinensis, Bovisc Alculus, and Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma. The active ingredients of these Chinese medicines mainly include flavonoids, alkaloids, terpenes, polyphenols, lignans, and other compounds. The Chinese medicine compound prescriptions targeting the PI3K/Akt pathway mainly include Wenshen Sanjie prescription, Jianspi Lishi Huayu prescription, Yishen Tonglongtang, Qilan prescription, Xihuangwan, and modified Shenqi Dihuangtang. This review is expected to provide a scientific basis for deeply understanding the pathogenesis of PCa and identifying potential therapeutic targets, as well as to provide new ideas for clinical research and drug development for PCa.

Diabetes mellitus erectile dysfunction(DMED)is a common diabetic-related vascular,endo-crine and neuropathy in clinical practice,and patients with DMED often present with symptoms such as difficulty in erection,prolonged erection time,poor hardness,and short sexual intercourse.The etiological mechanism is complex,and it is often closely related to many factors such as oxidative stress(OS),inflammatory response,and neurological and endocrine lesions,which often cross-react and promote the progression of DMED lesions.In recent years,relevant studies have shown that OS and ferroptosis play a key role in DMED:OS can cause neuro-logical and Abnormal endocrine function,decreased synthesis or bioavailability of penile vascular endothelium,spongy endothelial cell dysfunction and decreased smooth muscle diastolic function,resulting in penile erectile dysfunction,and ferroptosis has also been confirmed to be closely related to DMED,controlling OS and ferroptosis to improve erectile function in diabetic patients is a reasonable and effective treatment pathway,but the mechanism of action of ferroptosis leading to DMED needs to be further studied.Therefore,this article reviews the latest infor-mation on the correlation between OS and ferroptosis and DMED,aiming to provide a useful reference for exploring the mechanism of DMED,clinical prevention and treatment of DMED,and providing potential directions for future research in this field.

Objective To investigate the effects of the erythropoietin (EPO) on ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) in rats with nephron-sparing surgery (NSS). Methods Fifty-four Sprague Dawley rats were divided into 3 groups randomly after right kidney nephrectomy: Sham group, NSS group (PBS+NSS) and EPO group (EPO+NSS). During NSS, renal artery was clamped for 40 min to induce IRI. Sham group just adopted exposure renal artery without vascular clamped. Rats in NSS group were injected intraperitoneally with PBS for 3 days before NSS. Rats in EPO group were injected intraperitoneally with EPO for 3 days before NSS. After 12 h, 24 h, 72 h, blood sample and renal tissues were collected. The serum creatinine (Scr) and urea nitrogen (BUN) were evaluated. The pathology injury was evaluated by HE staining. The CD24/CD133 double-positived renal progenitor cells (RPCs) were tested by flow cytometry. The CD133 and PCNA protein were quantified by immunohistochemical staining. The expressions of Wnt7b and β-catenin protein were detected by Western blotting. Results Rats in NSS group had more elevated Scr, BUN and pathology injury scores 12 h, 24 h and 72 h after operation than those in Sham group (all P<0.05). Compared with those in the NSS group, the Scr and BUN in the EPO group were significantly lower 24 h after the surgery (all P<0.05), and the pathology injury score also decreased (P<0.05). The proportion of RPCs, expressions of CD133 and PCNA, and expressions of Wnt7b and β-catenin protein were significantly higher after 24 h of the surgery in NSS group than those in the Sham group (all P<0.05). While compared with those in the NSS group, the proportion of RPCs and expressions of CD133, PCNA, Wnt7b and β-catenin increased at the EPO group (all P<0.05). Conclusions EPO can reduce the IRI after NSS, and its mechanism may be related to the mobilization of the RPCs by the Wnt7b/β-catenin signal pathway.

Objective To prepare a neutralizing monoclonal antibody against rabies virus. Meth-ods BALB/c mice were immunized with the inactivated rabies virus CTN strains on day 0, 7, 14 and 28. Spleen cell samples were collected and then fused with SP2/0 cells to prepare the hybridoma cell line. Posi-tive hybridoma cells that were screened out with RFFIT technique were injected into BALB/c mice intraper-itoneally. Ascites samples were collected from the mice to separate neutralizing monoclonal antibodies. Affin-ity chromatography was used for the purification of neutralizing monoclonal antibodies. Subtype identification and sequencing analysis were performed for further identification. A colloidal gold strip based method for rap-id detection of rabies vaccine was established with the prepared monoclonal antibodies. Results The hybri-doma cell line, CTN-McAb1, was prepared successfully with stable secretion of neutralizing monoclonal anti-bodies against rabies virus. The purity of those antibodies was more than 95% after purification and the sub-type of them was IgG1. The colloidal gold strip for raid detection of rabies vaccine was successful prepared. Conclusion The neutralizing monoclonal antibody against rabies virus was successfully prepared and could be used for preliminary application. This study will be of great significance for the quality control of rabies vaccine.
