BACKGROUND:Bone tissue loss caused by tumors and trauma can have an adverse effect on postoperative rehabilitation.Therefore,scaffold materials are usually implanted during treatment.However,the existing implant materials are relatively simple and lack antibacterial properties.Early implantation may lead to iatrogenic autoinfection and have an adverse effect on osteogenesis.OBJECTIVE:To construct a KR-12-a5 polypeptide-nanohydroxyapatite-small intestinal submucosa composite scaffold and evaluate its feasibility as a material for promoting bone defect repair.METHODS:The small intestinal submucosa scaffold and the small intestinal submucosa scaffold containing 25,50,and 100 mg/mL nanohydroxyapatite(referred to as nHA-SIS scaffold)were prepared by 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride/N-hydroxysuccinimide cross-linking method.The appropriate scaffold was screened for subsequent experiments by mechanical property testing.The antibacterial properties of KR-12-a5 polypeptide solution against Staphylococcus aureus,Streptococcus gordonii,and Fusobacterium nucleatum were detected.The nHA-SIS scaffolds were immersed in 250,500,and 1 000 μg/mL KR-12-a5 peptide solutions for 24 hours,and then freeze-dried to obtain peptide-loaded nanohydroxyapatite-porcine small intestinal submucosa composite scaffolds(denoted as P-nHA-SIS scaffolds).The sustained-release properties of the three groups of scaffolds were characterized.The nHA-SIS scaffolds and the three groups of P-nHA-SIS scaffolds were co-cultured with Staphylococcus aureus,Streptococcus gordonii,and Fusobacterium nucleatum for 24 hours or 48 hours.The scaffolds with strong antibacterial ability were screened by live and dead bacteria staining and scanning electron microscopy for subsequent experiments.The degradation properties and water absorption rates of the uncross-linked small intestinal submucosa scaffolds,cross-linked small intestinal submucosa scaffolds,nHA-SIS scaffolds,and P-nHA-SIS scaffolds were characterized.The extracts of cross-linked small intestinal submucosal scaffolds,nHA-SIS scaffolds,and P-nHA-SIS scaffolds were co-cultured with MC3T3-E1 cells.CCK-8 assay and live-dead cell staining were performed.The effects of the extracts of the three scaffolds on the migration of MC3T3-E1 cells were detected by Transwell chamber assay.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)The elastic modulus and compressive strength of 25,50,and 100 mg/mL nHA-SIS scaffolds were higher than those of small intestinal submucosal scaffolds(P<0.05),among which the elastic modulus and compressive strength of 25 mg/mL nHA-SIS scaffolds were the highest,and this group of scaffolds were selected for subsequent experiments to load peptides.(2)KR-12-a5 peptide had strong antibacterial activity against common bacteria in bone defects(Staphylococcus aureus,Streptococcus gordonii,and Fusobacterium nucleatum).The three groups of P-nHA-SIS scaffolds all had sustained release properties.With the increase of peptide mass concentration,the antibacterial property of P-nHA-SIS scaffold was enhanced.Among them,the P-nHA-SIS scaffold loaded with 500 μg/mL peptide had achieved a satisfactory antibacterial effect,and this group of scaffolds would be selected in the future.(3)The degradation rate of the three groups of cross-linked scaffolds was lower than that of the uncross-linked scaffolds,and the water absorption rate was greater than that of the uncross-linked scaffolds.P-nHA-SIS scaffolds could promote the proliferation and migration of MC3T3-E1 cells without affecting the activity of MC3T3-E1 cells.(4)The results show that P-nHA-SIS scaffolds have strong antibacterial properties and the ability to promote the proliferation and migration of MC3T3-E1 cells,and are expected to be used in bone defect repair.

BACKGROUND:Extracellular vesicles mediate intercellular signal transduction through the proteins,nucleic acids,and lipids they carry,thereby influencing the function of target cells.This vesicle-mediated communication mechanism is involved in regulating female reproductive development.OBJECTIVE:To summarize and analyze the regulatory roles of extracellular vesicle-mediated intercellular communication in female reproductive development.METHODS:A search was conducted in the PubMed database using the search terms"extracellular vesicles,exosomes,reproduction,maternal-embryo communication,maternal-fetal crosstalk,embryo implantation,endometrium,oviduct,follicle."The initial screening was carried out by reading the titles and abstracts of the literature,and then the literature with poor relevance to the research purpose,outdated content,and duplication was excluded according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria.Ultimately,69 relevant articles were included for comprehensive analysis.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Extracellular vesicles play a crucial role in key processes of female reproductive development,from folliculogenesis to implantation.(1)Extracellular vesicles mediate intercellular communication within the follicle,particularly the interactions between oocytes and follicular cells,which are essential for follicle development and maturation.(2)Extracellular vesicles and their contents facilitate interactions between the embryo and the fallopian tube,influencing the trajectory of embryonic development.(3)Extracellular vesicles and their contents promote implantation by mediating bidirectional communication between the embryo and the endometrium.Uterine-derived extracellular vesicles regulate processes such as embryo adhesion,invasion,and decidualization,while embryo-derived extracellular vesicles modulate endometrial receptivity,convey embryonic signals,and adjust the endometrial microenvironment.Studying the roles of extracellular vesicles in female reproductive development can provide valuable insights into the mechanisms of infertility and support the development of new therapeutic strategies.

BACKGROUND:Previous studies of the research group have found that icariin-containing serum can delay the progression of knee osteoarthritis,promote chondrocyte proliferation and stem cell cartilage differentiation in rats,but there is still a lack of sufficient basis for clinical application.OBJECTIVE:To investigate the repair effect of icariin-containing serum on lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammatory damage of human chondrocytes.METHODS:The effect of icariin-containing serum on chondrocyte viability was detected by cell counting kit-8 method,and the optimal volume fraction and time of icariin-containing serum were screened.The cells were then divided into blank group,lipopolysaccharide group,icariin-containing serum group and lipopolysaccharide+icariin-containing serum group.After grouping,immunofluorescence was used to detect the secretion of type Ⅱ collagen in chondrocytes in each group.Real-time PCR was used to detect the expression of related genes.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Icariin-containing serum showed good biosafety characteristics for human chondrocytes,and the cell viability reached the highest level after 48 hours of intervention when the icariin-containing serum volume fraction was 15%,and the follow-up experiments were carried out according to the conditions.(2)Compared with the blank group,lipopolysaccharide significantly inhibited the expression of type Ⅱ collagen in chondrocytes,while icariin-containing serum showed a positive mobilization effect,which could effectively promote the secretion of type Ⅱ collagen in chondrocytes under normal and inflammatory conditions.(3)The mRNA expression of type Ⅱ collagen and Aggrecan in chondrocytes decreased significantly under lipopolysaccharide stimulation,and the mRNA expression levels of matrix metalloproteinase 13 and a disintegrin-like and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs-5 increased significantly.Icariin-containing serum promoted the mRNA expression of type Ⅱ collagen in human chondrocytes under inflammatory conditions and reduced the mRNA expression of matrix metalloproteinase 13 and a disintegrin-like and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs-5 in chondrocytes after lipopolysaccharide intervention.Therefore,these findings indicate that the icariin-containing serum has good safety for human chondrocytes and plays an important role in maintaining the normal physiological functions of chondrocytes,promoting the synthesis of extracellular matrix,and inhibiting the secretion of inflammatory factors.

OBJECTIVE:Postoperative recurrence is a common complication of percutaneous endoscopic lumbar discectomy for lumbar disc herniation,which can significantly increase the risk of reoperation.A well-performing risk prediction model can help identify high-risk groups early and prevent postoperative recurrence.This study systematically evaluated the risk prediction model for postoperative recurrence after percutaneous endoscopic lumbar discectomy to provide a reference for surgical decision-making.METHODS:The PubMed,Embase,Web of Science,CNKI,WanFang Data,VIP,and CBM were electronically searched to collect studies on the recurrence risk prediction models after percutaneous endoscopic lumbar discectomy from inception to July 1,2024.Two reviewers independently screened the literature and extracted data.The models' risk of bias,applicability,and report quality were assessed using prediction model risk of bias assessment tool(PROBAST)and Transparent Reporting of a Multivariable Prediction Model for Individual Prognosis or Diagnosis(TRIPOD)tools,respectively.Meta-analysis of postoperative recurrence rate of percutaneous endoscopic lumbar discectomy and related predictors was performed using Revman 5.4 software.RESULTS:(1)A total of 15 studies were included,all of which were retrospective studies,including 24 models for predicting the risk of recurrence after percutaneous endoscopic lumbar discectomy.(2)The PROBAST evaluation results indicated that all 15 studies exhibited a high risk of bias.Regarding applicability,two studies demonstrated a low risk,while 13 presented a high risk.(3)Regarding the TRIPOD reporting quality,the overall quality across the 15 studies was low.The primary reasons for this low compliance included the failure to report blinding,a lack of explanation for the sample size calculation method,lack of detailed description of missing data processing methods,and lack of information such as introduction to the model used.(4)Furthermore,the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve for the model ranged from 0.684 to 0.972,with the number of potential predictor variables varying from 15 to 28.(5)The results of meta-analysis showed that the postoperative recurrence rate of lumbar disc herniation patients treated with percutaneous endoscopic lumbar discectomy was 12%(95%CI=9.0%-15.0%),Modic changes(OR=6.72,95%CI=3.90-11.59),body mass index(OR=1.28,95%CI=1.10-1.49),work intensity(OR=3.22,95%CI=1.85-5.59),age(OR=2.28,95%CI=1.50-3.48),and smoking history(OR=2.65,95%CI=1.75-4.00)were independent influencing factors for postoperative recurrence of percutaneous endoscopic lumbar discectomy(all P<0.05).CONCLUSION:The overall predictive performance of the recurrence risk prediction models after percutaneous endoscopic lumbar discectomy is satisfactory;however,the model exhibits a high overall risk of bias and applicability,coupled with low reporting quality.Additionally,there is a lack of prospective research and external validation.Future,risk prediction models should consider factors such as Modic changes,body mass index,work intensity,age,and smoking history as potential predictors.

Objective To construct a predictive model for futile recanalization after endovascular treatment in patients with acute anterior circulation large vessel occlusion stroke and evaluate its predictive efficacy.Methods Patients with acute stroke caused by anterior circulation large vessel occlusion who underwent endovascular treatment with successful vascular recanalization(modified thrombolysis in cerebral infarction[mTICI]grade 2b or 3)admitted to the Department of Neurosurgery of Tianjin Union Medical Center(the First Affiliated Hospital of Nankai University)from January 2022 to January 2025 were retrospectively and consecutively included.Patients were divided into effective recanalization group(modified Rankin scale[mRS]score≤2)and futile recanalization group(mRS score>2)according to the mRS score at 90 days after endovascular treatment.Baseline and clinical data were collected,including sex,age,medical history(stroke history,hypertension,diabetes mellitus,atrial fibrillation),personal history(smoking history,alcohol consumption history),and National Institutes of Health stroke scale(NIHSS)score,blood pressure,blood glucose,total cholesterol,triglycerides,high-density lipoprotein cholesterol,low-density lipoprotein cholesterol,creatinine,neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio,fibrinogen,D-dimer,lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio,white blood cell count,hemoglobin,albumin,C-reactive protein-to-albumin ratio,platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio at admission.Imaging data including culprit vessel(middle cerebral artery,anterior cerebral artery,internal carotid artery),Alberta stroke program early CT score(ASPECTS),infarct core volume,hypoperfusion area volume,mismatch volume between infarct core and hypoperfusion area,American Society of Interventional and Therapeutic Neuroradiology/Society of Interventional Radiology(ASITN/SIR)collateral circulation grading,trial of Org 10172 in acute stroke treatment(TOAST)classification.Surgery-related data including onset-to-puncture time,successful puncture-to-vascular recanalization time,immediate postoperative mTICI grade,complications within 24 hours postoperatively(fever,hemorrhagic transformation,symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage),immediate postoperative mTICI grade.Factors with P<0.05 and without multicollinearity(variance inflation factor≥5)in univariate analysis were included in multivariate Logistic regression model analysis to analyze independent influencing factors for futile recanalization after endovascular treatment in patients with acute anterior circulation large vessel occlusion stroke.A nomogram prediction model was constructed based on statistically significant factors in multivariate Logistic regression analysis,and Hosmer-Lemeshow test was used to assess the goodness of fit of the model.The receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve of the nomogram prediction model for predicting futile recanalization after endovascular treatment in patients with anterior circulation large vessel occlusion stroke was drawn,and calibration curve was used to evaluate the calibration of the nomogram prediction model.Results A total of 187 patients who met the criteria of this study were included,comprising 101 males and 86 females,aged 42-85 years,with a mean age of(70±6)years.The mRS scores at 90days after treatment were:0points in 21 cases(11.23%),1 point in 37 cases(19.79%),2 points in 28 cases(14.97%),3 points in 46 cases(24.60%),4 points in 31 cases(16.58%),5 points in 24 cases(12.83%),and 6 points in 0case.There were 86cases in the effective recanalization group and 101 cases in the futile recanalization group.(1)Statistically significant differences between the two groups were observed in age,atrial fibrillation,infarct core volume,admission NIHSS score,neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio,lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio,and C-reactive protein-to-albumin ratio(all P<0.05).(2)Multicollinearity analysis showed that the variance inflation factors of all independent variables with statistically significant differences in univariate analysis were all<5,indicating no multicollinearity.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that age(OR,1.101,95%CI 1.046-1.158,P=0.037),infarct core volume(OR,1.350,95%CI 1.202-1.517,P<0.01),admission NIHSS score(OR,1.501,95%CI 1.213-1.858,P<0.01),lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio(OR,0.039,95%CI 0.009-0.179,P<0.01),and C-reactive protein-to-albumin ratio(OR,6.015,95%CI 1.625-22.257,P=0.007)were independent influencing factors for futile recanalization after endovascular treatment in patients with acute anterior circulation large vessel occlusion stroke.(3)The receiver operating characteristic curve of the nomogram prediction model for futile recanalization after endovascular treatment in patients with acute anterior circulation large vessel occlusion stroke was constructed based on statistically significant factors in multivariate analysis showed a specificity of 0.970,sensitivity of 0.895,precision of 0.916,recall of 0.970,and area under the curve of 0.979(95%CI0.962-0.996,P<0.01).The absolute mean error of the calibration curve was 0.008,with predicted values close to actual values.Hosmer-Lemeshow test results showed that the model had good consistency without overfitting(χ2=4.830,P=0.776).Conclusions Age,infarct core volume,admission NIHSS score,lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio,and C-reactive protein-to-albumin ratio are all independent influencing factors for futile recanalization after endovascular treatment in acute anterior circulation large vessel occlusion stroke.The nomogram prediction model constructed accordingly can predict the risk of futile recanalization after endovascular treatment in patients with anterior circulation large vessel occlusion stroke.

Objective To investigate the effect of postoperative reduction quality in femoral neck fracture internal fixation on mechanical properties of the femoral head from the perspective of trabecular bone biomechanics.Methods From patients who underwent hip replacement surgery for femoral neck fractures,a total of 26 femoral head slice specimens were obtained.The central axis of the primary compressive trabeculae was defined as the 0° group,with the intersection point of the primary compressive trabeculae and the femoral calcar serving as the center.By rotating the specimens to simulate different reduction angles,the cut femoral head slice specimens were randomly divided into five groups:-10°,-5°,0°,5°,and 10°,representing femoral heads with varying reduction qualities.The specimens were subjected to single compression load tests and fatigue load tests.The load was set from 70 N to 1 400 N,at a frequency of 1 Hz,with 10 000 cycles.Axial stiffness,displacement,and the number of collapse cycles were measured,to compare the biomechanical properties of femoral head specimens under different reduction qualities.Results There were differences in the axial stiffness,displacement,and number of collapse cycles among the femoral head specimens in different groups.Under 800 N load,the axial stiffness of 0° group was significantly greater than that of±10° groups(P<0.05).The axial stiffness of 0° group was also greater than that of the±5° groups,but the differences were not statistically significant(P>0.05).The axial stiffness of±5° groups was greater than that of±10° groups(P<0.05).0° group had a lower displacement than±5° groups and±10° groups.However,the differences in displacement between 0° group and±5° groups were not statistically significant(P>0.05),while the differences between the 0° group and±10° groups were statistically significant(P<0.05).The differences in displacement between±5° groups and±10° groups were also statistically significant(P<0.05).0° group had a significantly higher number of collapse cycles than±10° groups(P<0.05).The number of collapse cycles in 0° group was also higher than that in±5° groups,but the differences were not statistically significant(P>0.05).The number of collapse cycles in±5° groups was significantly higher than that±10° groups(P<0.05).Conclusions The quality of reduction after internal fixation of femoral neck fractures significantly affects the biomechanical properties of the femoral head.This study provides a scientific basis for optimizing treatment and postoperative management,aiming to improve clinical outcomes and patients' quality of life.
