Tissue repair requires the reconstruction of functional vascular networks to restore oxygen and nutrient delivery, eliminate metabolic waste, and maintain tissue homeostasis. Although biochemical factors such as growth factors and cytokines have been extensively studied in vascular regeneration, increasing evidence indicates that mechanical signals from the extracellular matrix (ECM) are equally important regulators of angiogenesis. Matrix stiffness, as a major biomechanical property of the tissue microenvironment, provides critical information that influences endothelial cell (EC) behavior and vascular remodeling through mechanotransduction. However, the biological effects of matrix stiffness are not universally defined as either pro- or anti-angiogenic, but are highly dependent on tissue context, cellular composition, disease progression, and the dynamic changes occurring during tissue repair. Therefore, understanding how matrix stiffness regulates vascular regeneration is essential for developing more precise strategies for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. In this review, we summarize recent advances in the regulation of angiogenesis by matrix stiffness during tissue repair from multiple perspectives. First, we discuss the direct effects of matrix stiffness on EC behaviors, including differentiation, morphological remodeling, migration, proliferation, barrier maintenance, and vascular network formation. ECs sense mechanical alterations in the surrounding matrix through various mechanosensitive structures, including integrins, focal adhesion complexes, and mechanosensitive ion channels such as Piezo1 and TRPV proteins. These mechanical signals are subsequently transmitted through intracellular pathways involving FAK, RhoA/ROCK, MAPK, and Hippo-YAP/TAZ signaling, leading to cytoskeletal reorganization and transcriptional regulation. Through these mechanisms, matrix stiffness regulates endothelial functional states and determines the balance between regenerative vascular formation and pathological vascular remodeling. Beyond the direct regulation of ECs, we further highlight the importance of stiffness-mediated intercellular communication within the regenerative microenvironment. Matrix stiffness can regulate the behavior and secretory profiles of vascular-associated cells, including mesenchymal stem cells and macrophages, thereby indirectly affecting endothelial function through paracrine mechanisms. Changes in matrix mechanics influence the secretion of angiogenic factors, inflammatory cytokines, and extracellular vesicles from these cells, creating a mechanical regulation network that coordinates vascular regeneration. This perspective extends the traditional concept of matrix stiffness from a physical support structure to an active regulatory signal that integrates multiple cellular responses during tissue repair. Furthermore, we discuss the tissue-specific effects of matrix stiffness in vascular regeneration across different organs, including the aorta, lung, liver, and heart. Although excessive matrix stiffening is frequently associated with fibrosis and vascular dysfunction, the consequences of mechanical changes vary considerably among tissues. Moderate stiffness alterations may support endothelial activation and vascular stabilization in certain regenerative contexts, whereas persistent pathological stiffening can promote inflammation, endothelial dysfunction, and impaired vascular repair. These findings emphasize that the biological meaning of “soft” and “stiff” microenvironments should be interpreted according to specific tissue and experimental conditions rather than as universal mechanical classifications. Finally, we summarize current challenges and future perspectives in this field. A major limitation is the lack of standardized mechanical characterization among different studies, as stiffness measurements are influenced by material properties, testing methods, and experimental conditions, limiting direct comparison across research systems. Moreover, most existing models fail to fully reproduce the dynamic and viscoelastic properties of native ECM during tissue regeneration. Future studies should combine advanced biomaterials with standardized mechanical analysis, organoid models, and multi-omics approaches to establish more accurate mechanical regulatory maps. Overall, this review proposes that matrix stiffness is not merely a structural feature of tissues, but an active biological signal that regulates vascular regeneration through coordinated mechanotransduction and multicellular interactions. A deeper understanding of stiffness-mediated vascular regulation will provide new theoretical insights and therapeutic opportunities for improving tissue repair outcomes.

ObjectiveTo study the mechanism of compound Xishu granules （CXG） in inhibiting the proliferation of hepatocellular carcinoma cells by regulating ferroptosis. MethodsThe transplanted tumor model of human Huh7 was established with nude mice and the successfully modeled mice were randomized into model， Fufang Banmao （0.21 g·kg^-1）， low-dose （1.87 g·kg^-1） CXG， medium-dose （3.74 g·kg^-1） CXG， and high-dose （7.49 g·kg^-1） CXG groups. Mice were administrated with drinking water or CXG for 28 days， and the body weight and tumor volume were measured every 4 days. Hematoxylin-eosin staining was employed to observe the histopathological changes of tumors. The cell-counting kit-8 （CCK-8） was used to examine the survival rate of Huh7 cells treated with different concentrations （0， 31.25， 62.5， 125， 250， 500， 1 000 mg·L^-1） of CXG for 24 h and 48 h. CA-AM， DCFH-DA， and C11-BODIPY^581/591 fluorescent probes were used to determine the intracellular levels of ferrous ion （Fe²⁺）， reactive oxygen species （ROS）， and lipid peroxide （LPO）， respectively. The colorimetric method was employed to measure the levels of glutathione （GSH） and superoxide dismutase （SOD）. Western blot was employed to determine the protein levels of glutathione peroxidase 4 （GPX4）， transferrin receptor 1 （TFR1）， and ferritin heavy chain 1 （FTH1）， respectively. ResultsIn the animal experiment， compared with the model group， the drug treatment groups showed reductions in the tumor volume from day 12 （P<0.01）. After treatment， the Fufang Banmao and low-， medium-， and high-dose CXG groups had lower tumor volume， relative tumor volume， and tumor weight than the model group （P<0.05）， with tumor inhibition rates of 48.99%， 79.93%， 91.38%， and 97.36%， respectively. Moreover， the CXG groups had lower tumor volume and relative tumor volume （P<0.05 in all the three dose groups） and lower tumor weight （P<0.05 in medium-dose and high-dose groups） than the Fufang Banmao group. Compared with the model group， the drug treatment groups showed reduced number of tumor cells， necrotic foci with karyopyknosis， nuclear fragmentation， and nucleolysis， and the high-dose CXG group showed an increase in the proportion of interstitial fibroblasts. In the cell experiment， compared with the blank group， CXG reduced the survival rate of Huh7 cells in a dose-dependent manner after incubation for 24 h and 48 h （P<0.05）. Compared with the blank group， the RSL3 group and the low-， medium-， and high-dose CXG groups showed a decrease in the relative fluorescence intensity of CA-AM and increases in the fluorescence intensity of DCFH-DA and fluorescence ratio of C11-BODIPY^581/591， which indicated elevations in the levels of Fe²⁺ （P<0.01）， ROS （P<0.05）， and LPO （P<0.01）， respectively. Compared with the blank group， the RSL3 and low-， medium-， and high-dose CXG groups showed lowered levels of GSH and SOD （P<0.05）. In addition， the RSL3 group and the medium- and high-dose CXG groups showed down-regulated expression of GPX4 and FTH1 （P<0.05）， and the low- and high-dose CXG groups presented up-regulated expression of TFR1 （P<0.05）. ConclusionCXG suppresses the proliferation of hepatocellular carcinoma cells by inducing ferroptosis via downregulating the GSH-GPX4 signaling axis and increasing intracellular Fe²⁺and LPO levels.

Objective To develop and validate a"quick self-assessment questionnaire for cochlear implant out-come(QSACI)".Methods A research team,composed of audiologists,otolaryngologists,data analysis experts,and cochlear implant(CI)recipients,was formed to establish objectives,research subject criteria,and framework of the QSACI.An item pool was creaed through literature review and brainstorming.Question items were evaluated and screened,and the framework and answer options of the questionnaire were established.The comprehensibility,etc.,was analyzed and refined through pilot test,interviews,and expert consultation,leading to the development of the final version.A total of 39 post-lingually deafened adults with known stable outcomes completed the question-naire.The split-half and test-retest reliabilty of the questionnaire was analyzed,and the validity was quantitatively analyzed by comparing scores with the categories of auditory performance(CAP)scores.Results The initial item pool of the questionnaire had 18 items,and the final questionnaire consisted of 12 questions in four dimensions:com-munication status,audiological status,medical factors,and other factors.The average score of 39 recipients was 88.81±6.17 and CAP was 6.19±0.94.The questionnaire showed good reliability and validity,with a Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.71 and a test-retest reliability of 0.824(P＜0.05).The criterion-related validity,assessed by the correlation between the self-assessment questionnaire scores and CAP scores,showed a significant moderate pos-itive correlation(r=0.512,P＜0.05).The correlation coefficient between self-assessment and professional assess-ment was 0.720(P＜0.05),indicating a significant correlation.The area under the receiver operating characterstic(ROC)curve was 0.82(P＜0.05),the cutoff values corresponding to the maximal Youden index were 82.5 and 88.6,therefore score of 85 was taken as the median threshold score of judgement.Conclusion The QSACI reflects the post-imlplant outcomes,and it can serve as a tool for people with postlingually deafness and their families to un-derstand the eligbility of CI and the expected outcomes,helping to establish realistic expectations before CI surgery.

Objective To explore the practice of cost control and nursing quality improvement for obstetric and gyneco-logical inpatients based on the Diagnosis-Related Groups(DRGs)model.Methods A total of 208 inpatients admitted to the ob-stetrics and gynecology department of our hospital from June 1,2023,to December 31,2024,were selected as the study sub-jects.They were divided into a control group(104 cases,conventional payment model)and an observation group(104 cases,DRGs model)using a random number table method.The hospitalization costs(examination fees,medication fees,surgery fees,consumable costs,per capita total hospitalization costs),average length of stay,nursing quality,and inpatient satisfaction were compared between the two groups.Results In the observation group,the main cost components—examination fees,medication fees,surgery fees,consumable costs,and per capita total hospitalization costs—were all lower than those in the control group,with statistically significant differences(P＜0.05).The average length of stay in the observation group was shorter than that in the control group.The scores for safety management,nursing standards,ward management,and nursing quality in the observation group were higher than those in the control group,with statistically significant differences(P＜0.05).The inpatient nursing sat-isfaction rate in the observation group was 91.35％,significantly higher than that in the control group,with a statistically signifi-cant difference(P＜0.05).Conclusion The application of the DRGs model in obstetric and gynecological inpatients can effec-tively reduce related hospitalization costs and improve nursing quality and inpatient satisfaction.

To investigate the impact of high salt stress on the metabolic pathways and regulatory mecha-nisms involved in synthesizing hydroxyectoine(5-HE)in Virgibacillus salexigens,cultures were supple-mented with 1.5 and 2.5 mol/L NaCl as control and experimental groups,respectively.High-perform-ance liquid chromatography(HPLC)was used to detect the difference in the amount of 5-HE synthesis.Transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses identified differential genes and metabolites under varying salt concentrations.Key differential gene expressions related to 5-HE synthesis were validated using qRT-PCR.Results showed that 5-HE synthesis reached 121.9 mg/L at 2.5 mol/L NaCl.Transcriptomic anal-ysis identified 652 differentially expressed genes across 348 KEGG pathways,with 210 upregulated and 442 downregulated,primarily enriched in pathways such as purine metabolism,amino acid biosynthesis,sulfur metabolism,and biotin metabolism.Validation of 13 genes,including lysC,asd,ectA,ectB,ectC,ectD,thrB,thrC,ilvA,ilvE,AGXT,YckA and GlnQ,showed expression trends consistent with transcriptome data.Metabolomic analysis identified 1153 metabolites predominantly enriched in histidine metabolism,lysine degradation,and arginine and proline metabolism.This study preliminarily elucidated the effect of high salt on the 5-HE synthesis pathway,and provided a basis for the subsequent construc-tion of 5-HE high-yielding strains.

BACKGROUND:The highest incidence of spinal fracture is in the thoracolumbar segment,and its symptoms are back pain,posterior convexity deformity,activity limitation,or with spinal cord nerve injury causing lower limb pain,numbness,and even paraplegia and other complications.The finite element method is a digital computer modeling technique,which can simulate the physical model and carry out force analysis realistically.OBJECTIVE:To review the application of finite element method in thoracolumbar spine fractures.METHODS:We searched the Chinese and English literature databases PubMed,Web of Science,and CNKI for relevant literature on the application of the finite element analysis method in spinal thoracolumbar fracture published before March 2024.The search terms in Chinese and English were:finite element analysis methods,biomechanical phenomena,stress analysis,thoracolumbar fractures,spinal fractures.Finally,55 papers were included.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)The exploration of thoracolumbar fractures caused by different etiologies(osteoporotic,traumatic,and pathological)through the finite element method is conducive to a deeper understanding of the biomechanics of various types of thoracolumbar fractures,and to improve the individualized and fine-tuned treatment of thoracolumbar fractures.(2)The finite element analysis of a single sample or a small number of samples has the chance,and a larger number of samples are required for the future finite element analysis to reduce the chance caused by the sample.(3)The rigid structure of bones alone cannot meet the biomechanical working conditions of the integrity of the physical object,and future finite element models need to incorporate all the structures of the physical object(e.g.,soft tissues,such as muscles and ligaments)as far as possible.(4)The finite element method has been used in more studies on osteoporotic and traumatic thoracolumbar spine fractures,which will need to be more in-depth in the future,and less in the field of pathologic thoracolumbar fractures,which has a wider scope for future research.

BACKGROUND:Degenerative scoliosis is defined as a condition that occurs in adulthood with a coronal cobb angle of the spine>10° accompanied by sagittal deformity and rotational subluxation,which often produces symptoms of spinal cord and nerve compression,such as lumbar pain,lower limb pain,numbness,weakness,and neurogenic claudication.The finite element method is a mechanical analysis technique for computer modelling,which can be used for spinal mechanics research by building digital models that can realistically restore the human spine model and design modifications. OBJECTIVE:To review the application of finite element method in the etiology and treatment of degenerative scoliosis. METHODS:The literature databases CNKI,PubMed,and Web of Science were searched for articles on the application of finite element method in degenerative scoliosis published before October 2023.Search terms were"finite element analysis,biomechanics,stress analysis,degenerative scoliosis,adult spinal deformity"in Chinese and English.Fifty-four papers were finally included. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)The biomechanical findings from the degenerative scoliosis model constructed using the finite element method were identical to those from the in vivo experimental studies,which proves that the finite element method has a high practical value in degenerative scoliosis.(2)The study of the etiology and treatment of degenerative scoliosis by the finite element method is conducive to the prevention of the occurrence of the scoliosis,slowing down the progress of the scoliosis,the development of a more appropriate treatment plan,the reduction of complications,and the promotion of the patients'surgical operation.(3)The finite element method has gradually evolved from a single bony structure to the inclusion of soft tissues such as muscle ligaments,and the small sample content is increasingly unable to meet the research needs.(4)The finite element method has much room for exploration in degenerative scoliosis.

Objective:To compare the efficacy of robot system-assisted versus freehand screw revision for ankylosing spondylitis (AS) with lower cervical fractures.Methods:A multicenter retrospective cohort study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 57 patients with AS combined with lower cervical fractures admitted to Honghui Hospital Affiliated to Xi'an Jiaotong University School of Medicine, Henan Provincial People's Hospital, Zhengzhou Orthopedic Hospital, and Qilu Hospital of Shandong University, including 46 males and 11 females, aged 38-77 years [(65.4±9.5)years]. Injury segments involved C 3 in 7 patients, C 4 in 13, C 5 in 25, C 6 in 10, and C 7 in 2. All the patients underwent revision surgery, among whom, 22 patients were treated with robot system-assisted cervical pedicle screw placement (robot nailing group, with 190 screws), and 35 with freehand cervical pedicle screw placement (freehand nailing group, with 300 screws). The operative duration, intraoperative bleeding volume, frequency of intraoperative fluoroscopy, incision length, and length of hospital stay of the two groups were compared; the time of single nscrew insertion, the number of single nail revisions, the distance between screws and the anterior cortex, the accuracy of screw placement of grade 0 and grade 0+1 were recorded in the two groups. The visual analogue scale (VAS), Japanese Orthopedic Society (JOA) score, neck dysfunction index (NDI), American Spine Injury Association (ASIA) classification before operation, at 3 days, 3 months after operation and at the last follow-up were compared between the two groups. The complication rate was also noted. Results:All the patients were followed up for 12-16 months [(14.3±2.1)months]. The operative duration, intraoperative bleeding volume, and frequency of intraoperative fluoroscopy were (186.4±12.9)minutes, (486.1±68.6)ml, and (3.4±1.3)times in the robot nailing group, which were shorter or less than (206.7±14.4)minutes, (660.3±45.2)ml, and (13.5±3.6)times in the freehand nailing group ( P<0.01). The incision length was (9.4±2.4)cm in the robot nailing group, longer than (5.6±1.2)cm in the freehand nailing group ( P<0.01), and the length of hospital stay was (3.7±0.4)days, shorter than (4.4±1.4)days in the freehand nailing group ( P<0.01). The length of single nail insertion, the number of single nail revision, and the distance between the screws and the front cortex were (6.5±0.4)minutes, (1.1±0.1)times, and (3.5±1.3)mm in the robot nailing group, which were shorter or less than (11.6±0.2)minutes, (1.5±0.2)times, and (12.4±4.7)mm in the freehand nailing group ( P<0.01). The accuracy of the screw placement in the robot nailing group was 90.0% (171/190) and 95.8% (182/190) with level 0 and 0+1 screws, better than 80.0% (240/300) and 89.0% (267/300) in the freehand nailing group ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in VAS, JOA score, NDI, or ASIA grading between the two groups before operation ( P>0.05). The VAS, JOA, and NDI scores at 3 days after operation were (3.1±0.6)points, (12.1±1.2)points, and (15.6±2.9)points, respectively in the robot nailing group, which were better than (5.0±1.4)points, (11.3±1.1)points and (22.5±3.7)points, respectively in the freehand nailing group ( P<0.05). No statistically significant difference was observed in the ASIA grade between the two groups at 3 days after operation ( P>0.05). There were no significant differences in VAS, JOA, NDI scores, or ASIA grading between the two groups at 3 months after operation and at the last follow-up ( P>0.05). Compared with those before operation, the VAS, JOA, NDI scores, and ASIA grading were significantly improved at 3 days, 3 months after operation and at the last follow-up in the two groups, which were further improved with the passage of time. Two patients in the robot nailing group had pneumonia, with a complication rate of 9% (2/22), while 2 patients in the freehand nailing group had dural sac rupture and cerebrospinal fluid leakage and 3 had lung infection after operation, with a complication rate of 14% (5/35) ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Compared with freehand nailing, the robot system-assisted nailing revision for AS with lower cervical fracture has more advantages in terms of the operative duration, length of hospital stay, intraoperative bleeding volume, frequency of intraoperative fluoroscopy nailing speed and accuracy, screw holding force, early pain relief, function restoration, and complication rate, despite longer surgical incision.

Objective:To compare the efficacy of laminoplasty via the intermuscular approach or posterior midline approach for treating spinal cord injury without radiographic abnormality (SCIWORA).Methods:A multi-center retrospective cohort study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 135 patients with SCIWORA admitted to Honghui Hospital Affiliated to Xi'an Jiaotong University School of Medicine, Xi'an No.5 Hospital, Henan Provincial People's Hospital, Zhengzhou Orthopedic Hospital, Xuanwu Hospital of Capital Medical University from February 2021 to June 2023, including 75 males and 60 females, aged 35-78 years [(55.3±8.1)years]. The injury segments involved C 3-C 6. All the patients underwent posterior cervical open-door laminoplasty, among whom 70 patients were treated via the intermuscular approach (intermuscular group) and 65 via the posterior midline approach (posterior midline group). The operation duration, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative drainage volume, and length of hospital stay were recorded. The visual analogue scale (VAS) score, Japanese Orthopedic Association (JOA) score, neck disability index (NDI), Barthel index, cervical Cobb angle, and cervical range of motion (ROM) were measured preoperatively, at 3, 6, 12 months postoperatively and at the final follow-up. The American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) scale was evaluated preoperatively, at 3, 12 months postoperatively and at the final follow-up. The postoperative complication rate was recorded as well. Results:All the patients were followed up for 15-19 months [(16.3±1.6)months]. The operation duration, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative drainage and length of hospital stay were (125.0±23.0)minutes, (210.4±34.8)ml, and (165.3±23.7)ml, and (5.3±0.1)days in the intermuscular group, which were significantly shorter or less than (168.0±27.6)minutes, (260.2±45.3)ml, (196.4±31.6)ml, and (6.4±0.2)days in the posterior midline group ( P<0.01). The preoperative VAS score, JOA score, NDI and Barthel index showed no significant differences between the two groups ( P>0.05). The VAS score and JOA score also showed no significant differences between the two groups at 3, 6, 12 months postoperatively or at the final follow-up ( P>0.05). The NDI and Barthel index also showed no significant differences between the two groups at 3 months postoperatively ( P>0.05). At 6, 12 months postoperatively and at the final follow-up, the NDI were (15.4±2.5)points, (11.8±2.1)points and (8.6±1.5)points in the intermuscular group, significantly lower than (19.1±3.4)points, (14.3±2.4)points and (11.9±1.4)points in the posterior midline group ( P<0.01). At 6, 12 months postoperatively and at the final follow-up, the Barthel index were (71.4±6.2)points, (83.4±5.8)points and (89.2±7.1)points in the intermuscular group, significantly higher than (59.6±4.7)points, (74.2±3.9)points and (78.8±6.2)points in the posterior midline group ( P<0.01). Both groups showed significant improvements in VAS score, JOA score, NDI and Barthel index at 3, 6, 12 months postoperatively and at the final follow-up when compared to those preoperatively ( P<0.05). Among them, the VAS score, NDI and Barthel index were further improved over time ( P<0.05). Simultaneously, the JOA score was significantly improved at 6, 12 months postoperatively and at the last follow-up when compared to that at 3 months postoperatively ( P<0.05), with no significant difference at later time points between the two groups ( P>0.05). The preoperative cervical Cobb angle and ROM showed no significant differences between the two groups ( P>0.05). There was no significant difference in the Cobb angle between the two groups at 3, 6 or 12 months postoperatively ( P>0.05), while it was (13.6±2.4)° in the intermuscular group at the final follow-up, significantly larger than (10.4±2.8)° in the posterior midline group ( P<0.01). At 3, 6, 12 months postoperatively and at the final follow-up, the cervical ROM were (34.1±6.4)°, (32.6±7.3)°, (31.8±9.1)° and (29.6±8.7)° in the intermuscular group, significantly larger than (23.7±8.3)°, (22.3±7.8)°, (22.5±8.1)° and (20.6±9.3)° in the posterior midline group ( P<0.01). In the intermuscular group, the cervical Cobb angle showed no significant changes at 3, 6, 12 months postoperatively and at the final follow-up when compared to those preoperatively ( P>0.05). In the posterior midline group, the Cobb angles were significantly reduced at 3, 6, 12 months postoperatively and at the final follow-up when compared to those preoperatively ( P<0.05), showing significant decrease at 12 months postoperatively and at the final follow-up from those at 3, 6 months postoperatively ( P<0.05), no significant difference at 6 months postoperatively from that at 3 months postoperatively ( P>0.05), and significant decrease at the final follow-up from that at 12 months postoperatively ( P>0.05). In the intermuscular group, the cervical ROM were significantly improved at 3, 6, 12 months postoperatively and at the final follow-up when compared to those preoperatively and showed further improvement over time ( P<0.05). In the posterior midline group, the cervical ROM were significantly improved at 3, 6, 12 months postoperatively and at the final follow-up when compared to those preoperatively ( P<0.05), showing significant decreases at 6, 12 months postoperatively and at the final follow-up from that at 3 months postoperatively ( P<0.05), significant decreases at the final follow-up from those at 6, 12 months postoperatively ( P<0.05), and no significant difference at 12 months postoperatively from that at 6 months postoperatively ( P>0.05). The ASIA grades showed no significant difference between the two groups preoperatively, at 3, 12 months postoperatively and at the final follow-up ( P>0.05) , but were gradually improved over time in both groups ( P<0.05). The postoperative complication rate was 9%(6/70) in the intermuscular group, significantly lower than 48%(31/65) in the posterior midline group ( P<0.01). Conclusion:Compared to the posterior midline approach, the intermuscular approach for laminoplasty in patients with SCIWORA possesses advantages, including shorter operative time and length of hospital stay, reduced intraoperative blood loss and postoperative drainage, less postoperative neck disability, higher daily life quality, better long-term preservation of cervical lordosis and motion, and a lower complication rate.
