Objective:To explore the construction of an evaluation model for aortic root anatomy and calcium burden in patients with bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) stenosis before transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) based on deep learning (DL) algorithms.Methods:A retrospective collection of 362 BAV stenosis patients who underwent TAVR from September 2023 to May 2024 was performed. All patients underwent cardiac CT angiography. The patients were divided into training group ( n=104), internal validation group ( n=206), and external validation group ( n=52). A DL model was trained on the training dataset to assess aortic root anatomy and calcification burden. The evaluation included the segmentation accuracy of the algorithm, the measurement performance of key anatomical structures (i.e., valve leaflets and type-1 and type-2 fusion raphe), and calcification burden, as well as the measurement efficiency. Overall segmentation performance was assessed using the average Dice coefficient (ADC). The fine-scale segmentation quality was validated by the 95th-percentile Hausdorff distance (HD-95) and the average symmetric surface distance (ASSD). The consistency of the measurement results was assessed using the Pearson correlation coefficient and the intraclass correlation coefficient ( ICC) with a two-way mixed model for absolute agreement. In addition, the total time and total mouse movement distance required for manual assessment versus the DL model on the validation datasets were recorded and compared. Results:The algorithm demonstrated excellent segmentation performance on aortic root anatomical targets, achieving outstanding consistency within both internal and external validation datasets (0.955

Objective :
To explore the effect and mechanism of total saponins of astragalus membranaceus combined with bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) regulating the stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1) / chemo- kine receptor 4 ( CXCR4) pathway in the treatment of autoimmune premature ovarian failure ( POF) model rats.
Methods :
Rats were randomly divided into POF group,total saponins of astragalus membranaceus group,BMSCs group ,combination group ,combination + SDF-1 / CXCR4 pathway inhibitor ( AMD3100 ) group ,and control group,with 12 rats in each group.Except for the control group,all other groups of rats needed to construct a POF model.After successful modeling,treatment would begin.The drug injected into the tail vein once a week,and the drug injected into the abdominal cavity once a day for 4 weeks.ELISA was applied to detect the levels of anti ovari- an antibodies (AOAB) ,β-endorphin ( β-EP) ,vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) ,tumor necrosis factor- α (TNF-α) ,and interferon-γ ( INF-γ) in serum.Changes in ovarian index were detected.HE staining was ap- plied to detect the number of mature follicles,developing follicles,and blocked follicles in the ovary.Flow cytome- try was applied to detect the proportion of BMSCs in the ovaries.QRT-PCR was applied to detect the mRNA ex- pression of mesenchymal transition factor (cMET) ,hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) ,SDF-1,and CXCR4 in ovar- ian tissue.Western blot was applied to detect SDF-1 and CXCR4 proteins in ovarian tissue.
Results :
Compared with the control group,the serum levels of AOAB,TNF-α , INF-γ , and the number of blocked follicles in the ova- ries were higher,while the serum levels of β-EP,VEGF,ovarian index,the numbers of mature follicles and devel- oping follicles in the ovary,the expression of SDF-1,CXCR4 mRNA and protein were lower in the POF group (P < 0. 05) .Compared with the POF group,the serum levels of AOAB,TNF-α , INF-γ , and the number of blocked follicles in the ovaries were lower,while the serum levels of β-EP,VEGF,ovarian index,the numbers of mature follicles and developing follicles in the ovary,the proportion of BMSCs,the expression of cMET ,HGF,SDF-1, CXCR4 mRNA and SDF-1,CXCR4 protein were higher in the total saponins of astragalus membranaceus group, BMSCs group,and combination group,and the corresponding indicators in the combination group showed the most obvious change trend (P<0. 05) .AMD3100 reversed the effect of total saponins of astragalus membranaceus com- bined with BMSCs on POF rats.
Conclusion
The combination of total saponins of astragalus membranaceus and BMSCs may inhibit inflammation in POF rats,promote follicular development,increase the proportion of BMSCs in the ovaries,and promote their homing by activating the SDF-1 / CXCR4 pathway,thereby improving ovarian func- tion.

Objective:To investigate the mechanism of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA)-reactive oxygen species (ROS)-dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp1) axis in regulating phenotypic transformation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs).Methods:(1) VSMCs were divided into a control group, a synthetic VSMCs group, and a Drp1 siRNA+synthetic VSMCs group; cells in the Drp1 siRNA+synthetic VSMCs group were transfected with 50 nmol/L Drp1 siRNA for 48 h; cells in the latter two groups were treated with 20 ng/mL platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-BB, while cells in the control group were treated with an equal volume of solvent. After another 24 h of culture, Drp1 expression in VSMCs, and mitochondrial Drp1 and mitofusin 2 (Mfn2) expressions were detected by Western blotting, and changes in mitochondrial morphology were detected by mitochondrial fluorescent staining. (2) VSMCs were divided into a control group, a synthetic VSMCs group, and a mitochondrial fission inhibitor 1 (Mdivi-1)+synthetic VSMCs group; cells in the Mdivi-1+synthetic VSMCs group were pretreated with 50 μmol/L Mdivi-1 for 2 h; and cells in the latter two groups were treated with 20 ng/mL PDGF-BB, while cells in the control group were treated with an equal volume of solvent. After 24 hours of continued culture, expressions of α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), smooth muscle protein 22-α (SM22-α), proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), and Cyclin D1 were detected by Western blotting; invasion and migration abilities of VSMCs were detected by Transwell assay and scratch wound healing assay, respectively. (3) VSMCs were divided into a control group, a synthetic VSMCs group, and a N-acetylcysteine (NAC)+synthetic VSMCs group; cells in the NAC+synthetic VSMCs group were pretreated with 5 mmol/L NAC for 1 h; cells in the latter two groups were treated with 20 ng/mL PDGF-BB, while cells in the control group were treated with an equal volume of solvent. After 24 h of continued culture, expressions of Drp1, phosphorylated (p)-Drp1, α-SMA, SM22-α, PCNA, and Cyclin D1 were detected by Western blotting; changes in mitochondrial morphology were detected by mitochondrial fluorescent staining; intracellular ROS level was detected by 2', 7' -dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate (DCFH-DA) fluorescent probe; cell invasion and migration abilities were detected by Transwell assay and scratch wound healing assay, respectively. (4) VSMCs were divided into a control group, a synthetic VSMCs group, and a 5-Aza-2'-deoxycytidine (5-Aza-dC)+synthetic VSMCs group; cells in the 5-Aza-dC+synthetic VSMCs group were pretreated with 2 μmol/L 5-Aza-dC for 1 h; and then, cells in the latter two groups were treated with 20 ng/mL PDGF-BB, while cells in the control group were treated with an equal volume of solvent. After 24 h of continued culture, agarose gel electrophoresis was used to analyze the methylation degree in the mitochondrial D-loop region; intracellular ROS level was detected using DCFH-DA fluorescent probe; expressions of mitochondrial DNMT1, α-SMA, SM22-α, PCNA, and Cyclin D1 were detected by Western blotting; invasion and migration abilities were detected by Transwell assay and scratch wound healing assay, respectively.Results:(1) Compared with the control group and synthetic VSMCs group, the Drp1 siRNA+synthetic VSMCs group had significantly decreased Drp1 protein expression ( P<0.05). Compared with the control group, the synthetic VSMCs group had significantly increased Drp1 protein expression and decreased Mfn2 protein expression in the mitochondria ( P<0.05); compared with the synthetic VSMCs group, the Drp1 siRNA+synthetic VSMCs group had statistically decreased Drp1 protein expression and increased Mfn2 protein expression in the mitochondria ( P<0.05). Results of mitochondrial fluorescent staining showed that mitochondria in the control group were with filamentous structure, while mitochondrial fission in the synthetic VSMCs group was enhanced, and morphology of mitochondria in the Drp1 siRNA+synthetic VSMCs group tended to be continuous and complete. (2) Compared with the control group, the synthetic VSMCs group had statistically decreased α-SMA and SM22-α protein expressions and increased PCNA and Cyclin D1 protein expressions ( P<0.05). Compared with the synthetic VSMCs group, the Mdivi-1+synthetic VSMCs group had significantly increased α-SMA and SM22-α protein expressions and decreased PCNA and Cyclin D1 protein expressions ( P<0.05). Results of Transwell and scratch wound healing assays showed that compared with the control group, the synthetic VSMCs group had larger number of migrating cells and faster cell scratch healing; compared with the synthetic VSMCs group, the Mdivi-1+synthetic VSMCs group had smaller number of migrating cells and slower cell scratch healing. (3) Compared with the control group (1.10±0.02), the synthetic VSMCs group (1.53±0.02) had significantly increased p-Drp1 protein expression ( P<0.05). Compared with the synthetic VSMCs group, the NAC+synthetic VSMCs group (0.90±0.02) had statistically decreased p-Drp1 protein expression ( P<0.05). Results of mitochondrial fluorescent staining showed that mitochondria in cells of the control group were in a filamentous structure, while mitochondrial fission in cells of the synthetic VSMCs group was enhanced, and morphology of mitochondria in the NAC+synthetic VSMCs group tended to be continuous and complete. Results of DCFH-DA fluorescent probe showed that ROS level in the synthetic VSMCs group was higher than that in the control group, and ROS level in the NAC+synthetic VSMCs group was lower than that in the synthetic VSMCs group. Compared with the control group, the synthetic VSMCs group had significantly decreased α-SMA and SM22-α protein expressions and increased PCNA and Cyclin D1 protein expressions ( P<0.05). Compared with the synthetic VSMCs group, the NAC+synthetic VSMCs group had significantly increased α-SMA and SM22-α protein expressions and decreased PCNA and Cyclin D1 protein expressions ( P<0.05). Results of Transwell and scratch wound healing assays showed that compared with the control group, the synthetic VSMCs group had larger number of migrating cells and faster cell scratch healing; compared with the synthetic VSMCs group, the NAC+synthetic VSMCs group had smaller number of migrating cells and slower cell scratch healing.

Compared with the control group, the synthetic VSMCs group had statistically increased mitochondrial DNMT1 protein expression (1.03±0.03 vs. 0.55±0.03, P<0.05); and compared with the synthetic VSMCs group, the the 5-Aza-dC+synthetic VSMCs group (0.62±0.03) had significantly decreased mitochondrial DNMT1 protein expression ( P<0.05). Results of DCFH-DA fluorescent probe showed that ROS level in the synthetic VSMCs group was higher than that in the control group; ROS level in the 5-Aza-dC+synthetic VSMCs group was lower than that in the synthetic VSMCs group. Compared with the control group, the synthetic VSMCs group had significantly decreased α-SMA and SM22-α protein expressions and increased PCNA and Cyclin D1 protein expressions ( P<0.05). Compared with the synthetic VSMCs group, the 5-Aza-dC+synthetic VSMCs group had significantly increased α-SMA and SM22-α protein expressions and decreased PCNA and Cyclin D1 protein expressions ( P<0.05).

Environmental pollutants generated by industrialization,characterized by microplastics,are increasingly impairing male fertility in the form of"environmental hidden toxins".Although the concept of environmental toxicity has been proposed for a long time,its practical application remains limited.Therefore,this study innovatively introduces and elaborates on the concept of"environmental hidden toxins",highlighting its pathogenic characteristics,including latency,turbidity,consumptive nature,concurrent nature,and transmutation.Environmental hidden toxin can be classified into five categories based on the properties:stagnation toxins,scorching toxins,turbid toxins,desiccating toxins,and latent toxins.The core pathogenesis of environmental hidden toxins-induced male infertility involves three stages:firstly,invading the lungs and spleen,leading to the gradual depletion of healthy qi;secondly,forming toxin-stasis complexes that obstruct the spermatic pathway;and lastly,penetrating deeply into the seminal chamber,directly damaging the genuine essence.The treatment principle emphasizes"strengthening the foundation and clearing the source,"advocating dual strategies of detoxification and strengthening vital qi.This includes enhancing clarity and lowering turbidity,fortifying the earth to generate metal to replenish healthy qi;resolving stasis,unblocking collaterals,and dispelling toxins to eliminate pathogenic factors;and nourishing the kidneys,replenishing essence,and expelling toxins to preserve the genuine essence.All the above approaches form a holistic traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)strategy that treating both manifestation and root cause of disease.The study provides theoretical foundations and offers novel clinical insights into TCM interventions for male infertility caused by environmental pollutants.
