BACKGROUND:Currently,numerous experiments delve into the intricate anatomy and biomechanical behavior of distinct segments of the supraspinatus muscle.However,the impact of shoulder joint stress resulting from damage to various regions of this muscle remains a scarcely explored domain.Understanding the repercussions of supraspinatus muscle injuries across different regions on the stress distribution and magnitude of articular cartilage and the glenoid is crucial for providing some theoretical support for clinical diagnosis and treatment. OBJECTIVE:To ascertain the maximum stress values by simulating different degrees of supraspinatus muscle rupture on the humeral cartilage surface,glenoid lip,and glenoid cartilage joint surface using three-dimensional finite element software. METHODS:Normal and healthy shoulder joint CT or MRI scans were processed through Mimics and Geomagic to extract molds.Subsequently,models were constructed via Solidworks.Varying degrees of supraspinatus muscle damage were simulated for each model to mimic fractures in different regions.Finally,Ansys,mechanical software,was employed for three-dimensional finite element biomechanical analysis,calculating stress values for the humeral cartilage surface,glenoid lip,and glenoid cartilage joint surface. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)With worsening degrees of supraspinatus muscle injury,the stress on the shoulder joint cartilage surface and glenoid lip escalated.(2)Among various regions,the anterior part of the supraspinatus muscle exhibited paramount significance.(3)While supraspinatus muscle fractures of differing degrees impacted the magnitude of cartilage stress on the glenoid labial surface,the stress distribution remained constant.(4)It is indicated that during the initial stages of horizontal abduction of the shoulder joint,the anterior region assumes a pivotal role,followed by the posterior deep region.Injury to the anterior part of the supraspinatus muscle leads to a significant surge in stress within the shoulder joint's soft tissue,potentially causing damage to the top of the glenoid lip and the anterior part of the glenoid cartilage.

[摘 要] 随着乳腺癌患者生存期的延长,肿瘤耐药性成为治疗过程的严峻挑战之一,临床通常将细胞死亡标志物的增加作为预测乳腺肿瘤患者生存率提高的标准。通过刺激肿瘤细胞死亡途径来提高抗肿瘤药物治疗的效果,使用某些佐剂是一种可行的方法。研究表明,二甲双胍(Met)是治疗Ⅱ型糖尿病的一线药物,同时具有抗肿瘤特性,其能增强细胞死亡机制,尤其是促进肿瘤细胞自噬、凋亡和铁死亡。同时证明,Met对免疫系统的刺激作用在诱导肿瘤细胞死亡方面发挥作用,其诱导不同细胞死亡机制在增敏抗肿瘤药物治疗中起着关键作用。本文论述了Met对乳腺癌肿瘤微环境(TME)的调控作用机制及其在抗肿瘤药物治疗中的增敏作用,对Met在临床前和临床免疫治疗中的研究方向提出建议。

OBJECTIVE:To introduce the types of bio-inks for 3D printing,and review the classification,application,advantages and disadvantages of bio-inks,as well as the future vision. METHODS:With"3D printing,biological ink,tissue engineering,hydrogel,synthetic material,cytoactive factor"as search terms,relevant articles published on PubMed and CNKI databases from 2000 to 2022 were searched by computer and finally 83 articles were included for review. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:3D bioprinting technology has developed rapidly over the past few decades and has received great attention in various fields,including tissue engineering and biomedicine.Compared with the limitations of traditional biological scaffold manufacturing methods in terms of function and structure,3D printing can better simulate the complex structure of biological tissues and has appropriate mechanical,rheological and biological characteristics.Bio-ink is an essential part of 3D printing.Bioscaffolds produced by printing bio-ink prepared by biological materials have great scientific potential and clinical significance in tissue repair and regenerative medicine.The research of the materials itself is also getting more and more attention from experts.Bio-inks for 3D printing come in a variety of materials,from natural to synthetic,to aggregations of cells that do not require any additional biomaterials,and their usefulness in practical use varies.In the future,more and more bio-inks will be developed for tissue engineering.It is necessary to analyze the printability of bio-inks through sufficient experimental simulation and equipment testing to meet the actual medical needs.
