BACKGROUND:More and more studies have shown that oxidative stress should play an important role in the treatment of osteoporosis.Oxidative stress should cause the accumulation of oxidation activity,which will damage bone-related cells.Finally,it causes the imbalance of bone resorption and bone formation,resulting in a decrease in bone volume and the destruction of the slight structure.Research in recent years has found that some natural products can regulate oxidative stress to treat osteoporosis.The characteristics of extensive sources and small side effects have obvious advantages in the treatment of osteoporosis,and the efficacy is objective. OBJECTIVE:To discuss the mechanism of natural product regulation of oxidation stress in treatment of osteoporosis,conduct a review based on the latest related research progress,provide reference and ideas for more natural products to treat osteoporosis in the future,and provide data support for the clinical application of natural compounds in the treatment of osteoporosis. METHODS:"oxidative stress,free radical,antioxidant,phytotherapy,plant extracts,medicinal plants,herbal medicine,osteoporosis,bone density,bone loss"were used as the keywords in PubMed,Web of Science,Embase,Cochrane,VIP,CBM,WanFang,and CNKI databases to search relevant articles published from January 2010 to February 2023.Inclusion and exclusion criteria were developed,and 64 relevant articles were selected by reading titles,abstracts,and full texts. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Some natural products have antioxidant effects and can regulate osteogenic differentiation,osteoblast bone matrix mineralization,osteoclast-mediated bone resorption,proliferation,differentiation,activity,and apoptosis of bone-related cells by improving oxidative stress,thus affecting bone metabolism.(2)These natural products with antioxidant effects play a role in treating osteoporosis by improving bone remodeling balance.(3)The research on the combination of a variety of natural products to improve osteoporosis remains to be explored.(4)The use of natural products to regulate oxidative stress may become a powerful weapon for the clinical treatment of osteoporosis in the future.

Background::Atopic dermatitis (AD) affects approximately 10% of adults worldwide. CM310 is a humanized monoclonal antibody targeting interleukin-4 receptor alpha that blocks interleukin-4 and interleukin-13 signaling. This trial aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of CM310 in Chinese adults with moderate-to-severe AD.Methods::This multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 2b trial was conducted in 21 medical institutions in China from February to November 2021. Totally 120 eligible patients were enrolled and randomized (1:1:1) to receive subcutaneous injections of 300 mg CM310, 150 mg CM310, or placebo every 2 weeks for 16 weeks, followed by an 8-week follow-up period. The primary endpoint was the proportion of patients achieving ≥75% improvement in the Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI-75) score from baseline at week 16. Safety and pharmacodynamics were also studied.Results::At week 16, the proportion of EASI-75 responders from baseline was significantly higher in the CM310 groups (70% [28/40] for high-dose and 65% [26/40] for low-dose) than that in the placebo group (20%[8/40]). The differences in EASI-75 response rate were 50% (high vs. placebo, 95% CI 31%–69%) and 45% (low vs. placebo, 95% CI 26%–64%), with both P values <0.0001. CM310 at both doses also significantly improved the EASI score, Investigator’s Global Assessment score, daily peak pruritus Numerical Rating Scale, AD-affected body surface area, and Dermatology Life Quality Index compared with placebo. CM310 treatment reduced levels of thymus and activation-regulated chemokine, total immunoglobulin E, lactate dehydrogenase, and blood eosinophils. The incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) was similar among all three groups, with the most common TEAEs reported being upper respiratory tract infection, atopic dermatitis, hyperlipidemia, and hyperuricemia. No severe adverse events were deemed to be attributed to CM310. Conclusion::CM310 at 150 mg and 300 mg every 2 weeks demonstrated significant efficacy and was well-tolerated in adults with moderate-to-severe AD.Trial Registration::ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT04805411.

Objective:To compare the clinical efficacy of arthroscopic partial and complete repair for massive rotator cuff tears.Methods:A total of 32 patients who underwent arthroscopic partial repair of massive rotator cuff tears in the Department of Sports Medicine, Peking University Third Hospital from March 2016 to December 2019 were retrospectively analyzed, including 15 males and 17 females, aged 62±6.8 years (range, 51-77 years), with 5 cases on the left side and 27 cases on the right side. Cause of injury: 4 cases were injured by car accident, 8 were injured by fall, and 20 had no obvious cause. 32 patients who underwent arthroscopic complete repair of massive rotator cuff tears during the same period were included according to a sample size of 1∶1 matched based on age, sex, tear size and fat infiltration index. Clinical outcomes were evaluated using the visual analogue scale (VAS) for pain, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score, University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) shoulder score, Simple Shoulder Test (SST) score, and range of motion. Fatty infiltration and cuff healing were assessed using the Goutallier and Sugaya classifications on MRI, respectively.Results:All patients successfully completed the surgery and were followed up for 46.1±11.3 months (range, 36-72 months). Preoperative and final follow-up VAS scores were 6.6±1.8 and 1.6±1.1 in the complete repair group, and 6.4±1.9 and 1.4±1.3 in the partial repair group. Both groups showed significant postoperative improvement ( P<0.05), with no significant difference between groups at the final follow-up ( t=-0.729, P=0.468). The ASES score, UCLA shoulder score, and SST at the final follow-up were 81.7±6.5, 28.6±2.9, and 9.8±2.5, respectively, in the complete repair group, and 82.4±7.3, 28.1±2.6, and 9.1±1.9 in the partial repair group, and the difference between the groups was not statistically significant ( P>0.05). In the complete repair group, one case underwent reverse shoulder replacement for rotator cuff re-tear two years after surgery, and one case developed pseudoparalysis for rotator cuff re-tear 8 months after surgery but had no significant pain and did not receive further treatment; in the partial repair group, two cases underwent tendon transposition surgery for shoulder pain. Conclusion:Arthroscopic partial repair improves shoulder function and reduces pain in patients with massive rotator cuff tears, with similar efficacy to complete repair and has high surgical safety.

Objective:To explore the relationship between glycosylated hemoglobin A 1c/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (HbA 1c/HDL-C) and urinary albumin-creatinine ratio (UACR) in Chinese adults. Methods:In this cross-sectional study, the clinical data of 43 820 community residents (age>40 years) from the Risk Evaluation of Cancers in Chinese Diabetic Individuals (REACTION study; March-December 2012) across eight centers (Liaoning, Guangdong, Shanghai, Gansu, Guangxi, Henan, Hubei, and Sichuan) in China were collected and analyzed. Participants were divided into three groups based on UACR levels:<10 mg/g, 10-30 mg/g, and >30 mg/g. The HbA 1c/HDL-C ratio was divided into four groups according to quartile division of the subjects: 1st quartile (Q1<3.79), 2nd quartile (3.79≤Q2<4.59), 3rd quartile (4.59≤Q3≤5.66), and 4th quartile (Q4>5.66). Multivariate ordinal logistic regression model was used to analyze the relationship between HbA 1c/HDL-C and UACR. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was used to explore the predictive value of HbA 1c/HDL-C to UACR. Results:The 43 820 subjects included 13 452 (30.70%) male and 30 378 (69.30%) female patients, with an average age of (58.00±0.05) years. According to results of one-way analysis of variance analysis, the HbA 1c/HDL-C ratio was significantly associated with the risk of increased UACR ( F=495.73, P<0.001). After adjusting for clinically relevant confounding variables in logistic regression model, compared with participants with the lowest HbA 1c/HDL-C ratio (Q1), women with the highest HbA 1c/HDL-C ratio (Q4) had a 1.483-fold (95% CI 1.376-1.598, P<0.001) and men had a 1.161-fold (95% CI 1.019-1.323, P<0.001) increased risk of UACR. The ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve of HbA 1c/HDL-C for predicting increased UACR was 0.623 (95% CI 0.597-0.606), with a sensitivity of 60.18% and a specificity of 54.91%. The HbA 1c/HDL-C ratio showed the highest predictive value of all glycemic and lipidemic parameters. In individuals with well-controlled blood glucose (HbA 1c<6.5%) or lipid levels (HDL-C≥1.0 mmol/L), the HbA 1c/HDL-C ratio was still independently associated with the risk of increased UACR after adjusting for confounding variables [ OR(95% CI) of quartile 4: 1.563 (1.210-2.019, P=0.001) in participants with HbA 1c<6.5% and 1.822 (1.687-1.968, P<0.001) in participants with HDL-C≥1.0 mmol/L]. Conclusion:As a novel compound indicator for evaluating glucose homeostasis and dyslipidemia, the HbA 1c/HDL-C ratio was independently associated with increased UACR in the general population aged>40 years in China, which was superior to both glycemic and lipid parameters alone.
