ObjectiveTo study the effect and mechanism of Shentong Zhuyutang in treating intervertebral disc degeneration （IDD） in rats. MethodsIn the cell experiment， male rats were administrated with normal saline or low-， medium-， and high-dose （3.38， 6.75，13.5 g·kg^-1， respectively） Shentong Zhuyutang by gavage， respectively， and serum samples were collected after 7 days of continuous administration. Another 10 male rats were selected for the isolation of nucleus pulposus cells. The cell model of IDD was established by treatment with interleukin （IL）-1β. The modeled cells were then treated with Shentong Zhuyutang-containing serum and the ferroptosis inhibitor ferrostatin-1 （Fer-1）， respectively， to investigate the effects of Shentong Zhuyutang-containing serum on the proliferation and ferroptosis of nucleus pulposus cells. To study the role of silent information regulator 1 （SIRT1）/nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 （Nrf2） in the regulation of ferroptosis in nucleus pulposus cells by Shentong Zhuyutang-containing serum， this study treated the cells with the SIRT1 inhibitor Ex 527 and the Nrf2 inhibitor ML385， respectively， in addition to the treatment with IL-1β and high-dose Shentong Zhuyutang-containing serum. The cell-counting kit-8 （CCK-8） assay and EdU staining were employed to measure the cell viability and proliferation， respectively. The Fe²⁺， glutathione （GSH）， and malondiadehyde （MDA） levels were measured by colorimetric assay. Western blot was employed to determine the protein levels of glutathione peroxidase 4 （GPX4）， acyl-CoA synthetase long-chain family 4 （ACSL4）， Collagen Ⅱ， Aggrecan， SIRT1， and Nrf2. Immunofluorescence was used detect SIRT1 expression. In the animal experiment， male rats were treated with anulus puncture for the modeling of IDD. Rats were randomly assigned into sham operation， model， Shentong Zhuyutang-containing serum （13.5 g·kg^-1）， and positive control （nimesulide dispersible tablets， 0.18 mg·kg^-1） groups. Rats in the drug intervention groups were administrated with corresponding agents at 1 mL·kg^-1， and those in the sham operation and model groups were administrated with equal volumes of normal saline， once daily for 28 consecutive days. At the end of the last administration， the histopathological changes in the intervertebral discs of rats were observed by hematoxylin-eosin staining and scored by the Masuda method. Western blot was employed to determine the protein levels of SIRT1， Nrf2， GPX4， and Collagen Ⅱ in the nucleus pulposus tissue. ResultsCompared with the control group， the IL-1β group of nucleus pulposus cells showed elevated levels of Fe²⁺， MDA， and ACSL4 （P<0.05）， decreased cell viability， lowered GSH level， and down-regulated protein levels of GPX4， Collagen Ⅱ， and Aggrecan （P<0.05）. Shentong Zhuyutang-containing serum and Fer-1 reversed the effects of IL-1β on the viability and ferroptosis of nucleus pulposus cells and up-regulated the protein levels of Collagen Ⅱ and Aggrecan in nucleus pulposus cells （P<0.05）. Compared with the control group， the IL-1β group showcased down-regulated expression of Sirt1 and Nrf2 in nucleus pulposus cells （P<0.05）. Compared with the IL-1β group， the high-dose Shentong Zhuyutang-containing serum+IL-1β group showed up-regulated expression of SIRT1 and Nrf2 in nucleus pulposus cells （P<0.05）. Compared with the high-dose Shentong Zhuyutang-containing serum+IL-1β group， the ML385 group showed down-regulated protein levels of Nrf2 and GPX4， lowered GSH level， and elevated Fe²⁺ and MDA levels （P<0.05）. In addition， the Ex 527 group showed down-regulated protein levels of SIRT1， Nrf2， and GPX4 （P<0.05）. The results of the animal experiment showed that compared with the sham operation group， the model group had severe degeneration of the intervertebral disc tissue with increased pathological score， up-regulated protein level of ACSL4 （P<0.05）， and down-regulated protein levels of SIRT1， Nrf2， GPX4， and Collagen Ⅱ （P<0.05）. Compared with the model group， the Shentong Zhuyutang group showed alleviated IDD with declined pathological score， down-regulated protein level of ACSL4 （P<0.05）， and up-regulated protein levels of SIRT1， Nrf2， GPX4， and Collagen Ⅱ （P<0.05）. ConclusionShentong Zhuyutang may activate the SIRT1/Nrf2 signaling pathway to inhibit the ferroptosis of nucleus pulposus cells， thereby delaying the process of IDD in rats.

Objective To explore the mechanism of Danggui Sini Decoction in treating knee osteoarthritis(KOA)by using network pharmacology,combined with in vitro experimental verification.Methods The active components of Danggui Sini Decoction were retrieved and screened through TCMSP,CNKI and PubMed databases,and their corresponding targets were predicted using the SwissTarget Prediction platform.KOA related targets were retrieved from GeneCards and OMIM databases.Intersection of drug targets and KOA targets was obtained,and key components,core targets,and their related biological mechanisms were identified through network topology analysis,GO and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis.Molecular docking was used to verify the degree of binding between key components and core targets.Danggui Sini Decoction containing serum was prepared,and an in vitro KOA model was constructed by inducing rat articular chondrocytes with lipopolysaccharide.The CCK-8 method was used to screen for the optimal concentration of drug containing serum intervention,fluorescent probes were used to detect intracellular ROS content,immunofluorescence was used to detect NF-κB p65 nuclear translocation,RT-qPCR was used to detect the expressions of IL-6,IL-1β and TNF-α mRNA,Western blot was used to detect the expression of Toll-like receptor 4(TLR4),myeloid differentiation factor 88(MyD88),NF-κB p65 and p-NF-κB p65 proteins.Results The results of network pharmacology analysis indicated that the treatment of KOA with Danggui Sini Decoction may involve regulating Toll like receptors,MAPK,TNF,apoptosis and other inflammatory and aging signaling pathways,compounds such as quercetin,kaempferol and glycyrrhizin may play important roles.Core targets included IL6,IL1B,TNF,TLR4,NFKB1,JUN,MAPK1,RELA.In vitro experiments showed that compared with the blank group,the ROS content in chondrocytes of the model group significantly increased(P<0.01),NF-κB p65 protein was significantly nuclear translocation(P<0.01),and mRNA expressions of IL-6,IL-1β,TNF-α mRNA and protein expressions of TLR4,MyD88 and p-NF-κB p65 significantly increased(P<0.01);compared with the model group,the intervention of Danggui Sini Decoction containing serum could significantly reduce intracellular ROS content(P<0.05),inhibit NF-κB p65 nuclear translocation(P<0.01),and reduce the expression of inflammatory factor mRNA and related proteins(P<0.05,P<0.01).Conclusion Danggui Sini Decoction can significantly reduce the inflammatory response of rat articular chondrocytes induced by lipopolysaccharide and exert therapeutic effects on KOA.Its mechanism may be related to the inhibition of TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB pathway.

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a highly aggressive malignancy predominantly managed via chemotherapy. Our clinical sample analysis revealed a significant correlation between elevated CD24 expression in TNBC tumor cells and patient survival rates. We developed a novel antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), named HN03, consisting of an antibody with engineered cysteines for site-specific conjugation with a low toxic nitric oxide (NO) precursor as its payload through a novel Pt(IV)-mediated bioorthogonal self-cleavable linker. HN03 specifically targets tumor cells expressing high levels of CD24, concurrently generating cisplatin and releasing NO upon activation. HN03 also exhibited potent in vitro and in vivo antitumor activity. It significantly reduced tumor growth at various doses, prevented tumor metastasis, with markedly lower toxicity than traditional chemotherapy agents. We found that a key mechanism of its action involved inducing apoptosis and endoplasmic reticulum stress, substantially decreasing the number of M2-type macrophages. Overall, HN03 stands out as a promising therapeutic option for TNBC, offering a targeted treatment with reduced side effects and the potential for improved outcomes. Furthermore, using Pt(IV) in the linker and an NO precursor as the payload enhances the versatility of the Antibody-NO donor Conjugate (ANC), offering new avenues for the design of the next generation of ADCs.

Background Exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) is associated with the development of metabolic syndrome (MS). However, the role of amino acids in PAH-induced MS remains unclear. Objective To explore the impact of PAHs exposure on the incidence of MS among coking workers, and to determine potential modifying effect of amino acid on this relationship. Methods Unmatched nested case-control design was adopted and the baseline surveys of coking workers were conducted in two plants in Taiyuan in 2017 and 2019, followed by a 4-year follow-up. The cohort comprised 667 coking workers. A total of 362 participants were included in the study, with 84 newly diagnosed cases of MS identified as the case group and 278 as the control group. Urinary levels of 11 PAH metabolites and plasma levels of 17 amino acids were measured by ultrasensitive performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS). Logistic regression was used to estimate the association between individual PAH metabolites and MS. Stratified by the median concentration of amino acids, Bayesian kernel machine regression (BKMR) model was employed to assess the mixed effects of PAHs on MS. Due to the skewed data distribution, all PAH metabolites and amino acids in the analysis were converted by natural logarithm ln (expressed as lnv). Results The median age of the 362 participants was 37 years, and 83.2% were male. Compared to the control group, the case group exhibited higher concentrations of urinary 2-hydroxyphenanthrene (2-OHPhe), 9-hydroxyphenanthrene (9-OHPhe), and hydroxyphenanthrene (OHPhe) (P=0.005, P=0.049, and P=0.004, respectively), as well as elevated levels of plasma branched chain amino acid (BCAA) and aromatic amino acid (AAA) (P<0.05). After being adjusted for confounding factors, for every unit increase in lnv_2-OHPhe in urine, the OR (95%CI) of MS was 1.57 (1.11, 2.26), and for every unit increase in lnv_OHPhe, the OR (95%CI) of MS was 1.82 (1.16, 2.90). Tyrosine, leucine, and AAA all presented a significant nonlinear correlation with MS. At low levels, tyrosine, leucine, and AAA did not significantly increase the risk of MS, but at high levels, they increased the risk of MS. In the low amino acid concentration group, as well as in the low BCAA and low AAA concentration groups, it was found that compared to the PAH metabolite levels at the 50th percentile (P₅₀), the log-odds of MS when the PAH metabolite levels was at the 75th percentile (P₇₅) were 0.158 (95%CI: 0.150, 0.166), 0.218 (95%CI: 0.209, 0.227), and 0.262 (95% CI: 0.241, 0.282), respectively, However, no correlation between PAHs and MS was found in the high amino acid concentration group. Conclusion Amino acids modify the effect of PAHs exposure on the incidence of MS. In individuals with low plasma amino acid levels, the risk of developing MS increases with higher concentrations of mixed PAH exposure. This effect is partly due to the low concentrations of BCAA and AAA.

Body weight abnormalities, including overweight, obesity, and underweight, have become a dual public health challenge in Chinese adults: overweight and obesity lead to a variety of chronic complications, while underweight increases the risks of malnutrition, sarcopenia, and organ dysfunction. To systematically address these issues, multidisciplinary experts in endocrinology, sports science, nutrition, and psychiatry from various regions have held multiple weight management seminars. Based on the latest epidemiological data and clinical evidence, they expanded the guideline to include assessment and intervention strategies for underweight, in addition to the core content of obesity management. This guideline outlines the etiological mechanisms, evaluation methods, and multidimensional management strategies for overweight and obesity, covering key areas such as diagnosis and assessment, medical nutrition therapy, exercise prescription, pharmacological intervention, and psychological support. It is intended to provide a scientific and standardized approach to weight management across the adult population, aiming to curb the rising prevalence of obesity, mitigate complications associated with abnormal body weight, and improve nutritional status and overall quality of life.

Objective:To establish 30-day of age transcutaneous bilirubin (TcB) reference curves for healthy neonates, and to investigate regional variations in bilirubin dynamics.Methods:A multicenter retrospective cohort study was conducted. A total of 220 950 healthy neonates born at a gestational age of 35-<42 weeks, with a birth weight ≥2 000 g, who did not receive phototherapy within 60 h after birth were recruited. All of them underwent remote TcB monitoring using the Bilibaby remote jaundice monitoring system between August 1 st, 2020 and December 31 st, 2024 in 426 hospitals. TcB data were collected within the period from birth to 30-day of age. The P40, P75, and P95 of TcB values were calculated, and dynamic TcB curves for 30-day of age were constructed. Patterns of bilirubin change, rates of change, and transition outcomes were described. Regional comparisons between South and North were conducted using linear mixed-effects models for TcB trajectories and Pearson′s chi-square test for outcome differences. Results:A total of 220 950 neonates were included, of whom 101 711 (46.03%) were female. Gestational age at birth was (38.75±1.12) weeks, and birth weight was (3 272±417) g. TcB levels increased rapidly within 3-day of age, peaked at 4-6-day of age, with peak values at P40, P75, and P95 of 200.6, 239.7 and 275.4 μmol/L (11.8, 14.1 and 16.2 mg/dl), respectively. TcB levels gradually declined thereafter and stabilized after 13-day of age, with values at P40, P75, and P95 fluctuating between 147.9-159.8, 190.4-200.6, and 231.2-239.7 μmol/L (8.7-9.4, 11.2-11.8, 13.6-14.1 mg/dl), respectively. Notably, among neonates categorized as low-or low-intermediate-risk within 3-day of age, 6 700 (12.76%) progressed to intermediate-high or high risk between 4 and 30 days of age. Before 13-day of age, TcB levels in the southern regions were consistently higher than those in the northern regions ( P=0.039); from 14 to 30 days of age, the overall TcB levels had no statistically difference, but the temporal changes in TcB still showed regional differences (degrees of freedom=3, all interaction P<0.05). Among neonates classified as low-or low-intermediate risk within 3-day of age, 25 326 were from southern regions, of whom 4 254 (16.80%) progressed to intermediate-high or high risk between 4 and 30 days of age. In northern regions, 27 193 neonates were classified as low-or low-intermediate risk within 3-day of age, among whom 2 446 (8.99%) progressed to intermediate-high or high risk. The risk progression between the 2 regions had statistically difference ( χ2=716.49, P<0.001). Conclusions:A TcB percentile curve for neonates within 30-day of age was established, revealing that both the overall TcB level and its temporal trend were higher in southern than in northern newborns. These findings provide baseline data to support continuous management of neonatal jaundice.

Objective:To develop and validate a deep learning-based multimodal model integrating clinical and radiomic features for predicting acute kidney injury（AKI）risk after partial nephrectomy.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 416 patients who underwent partial nephrectomy at Zhongshan Hospital，Fudan University from January 2023 to January 2025. The cohort included 100 AKI patients［defined by a ≥ 25% reduction in postoperative evaluated glomerular filtration rate（eGFR）within 48 hours sustained for >24 hours］and 316 non-AKI patients（1∶3 ratio，randomly matched with 16 additional cases for redundancy）. Clinical and radiomic features were extracted from preoperative contrast-enhanced CT scans using PyRadiomics. Demographics included 259 males and 158 females，with a median age of 57（49，65）years，body mass index of（24.1 ± 3.3）kg/m2，preoperative eGFR of（88.5 ± 18.3）ml/（min·1.73 m2），postoperative eGFR（48-hour）of（76.0 ± 21.9）ml/（min·1.73 m2），Zhongshan Score（ZSscore）of 7.34 ± 2.01，and R.E.N.A.L. score of 7.50 ± 1.71. All tumors were T 1a stage. Patients were divided into training（n = 312）and test（n = 104）sets（3∶1 ratio）. A clinical model was constructed via multivariate logistic regression，while radiomic and combined（clinical + radiomic）models utilized an artificial neural network（ANN）with 1 input layer，5 hidden layers，1 output layer，and 10 5 training epochs. Model performance was evaluated by using receiver operating characteristic（ROC）curves and area under the curve（AUC），and was compared to the Martini model. Feature contributions were interpreted via SHapley Additive exPlanations（SHAP）. Results:In the test set，the results of multivariate logistic regression showed that patient’s weight，preoperative eGFR，R.E.N.A.L. score，surgical approach，and operation time were risk factors for AKI（ P < 0.05）. The AUC of the clinical feature prediction model constructed based on the above factors was 0.852（95% CI 0.775?0.929）. In the test set，the AUC of the Martini model was 0.725（95% CI 0.565?0.791）. The radiomic model，trained on 1 315 imaging features，achieved an AUC of 0.898（95% CI 0.804?0.993）with 94.2%（98/104）accuracy. The combined clinical and radiomic model，integrating 1 315 radiomic features and clinical features，demonstrated superior performance with an AUC of 0.946（95% CI 0.887?1.000）and 96.2%（100/104）accuracy，outperforming both the clinical model（ P = 0.03）and the Martini model（ P < 0.01）. SHAP analysis identified the top five predictors in the combined model：ZSscore（SHAP value：0.78），long-run low gray-level emphasis（SHAP value：0.61），run-length non-uniformity（SHAP value：0.58），size-zone non-uniformity（SHAP value：0.46），and gray-level co-occurrence matrix joint energy（SHAP value：0.36）. Conclusions:The deep learning-based multimodal model integrating clinical and radiomic features accurately predicts AKI risk after partial nephrectomy，offering a novel strategy for preoperative risk stratification and personalized intervention.

Objective:To analyze by bioinformatics the association between the expression of membrane-associated tyrosine/threonine protein kinase 1(PKMYT1)in glioma with its prognostic value,biological function,drug sensitivity,gene mutation,and immune infiltration.Methods:The differential expression of PKMYT1 was analyzed based on the Chinese Glioma Genome Atlas database(CGGA)and the Cancer Genome Atlas database(TCGA).Pathways likely to be enriched for PKMYT1 were predicted by gene ontology analysis(GO)and gene set enrichment analysis(GSEA).PKMYT1 was subjected to Pearson correlation and gene set variation analysis(GSVA)with cell cycle-related genes and gene sets.The survival prognosis,gene mutation,drug sensitivity and immune infiltration were further analyzed for PKMYT1 high and low expression groups of glioma patients.Results:PKMYT1 was significantly highly expressed in WHO high-grade glioma(P<0.000 1),IDH wild-type glioma(P<0.05),and glioblastoma(P<0.000 1).Overall survival(OS)of patients in the PKMYT1 low expression group was significantly higher than that of the high expression group(P<0.05).Cox regression analysis showed that PKMYT1 expression level was an independent prognostic factor for OS(P<0.05).GO and GSEA analyses showed that the gene sets co-expressed with PKMYT1 were mainly enriched in signaling pathways such as cell cycle,DNA replication and DNA damage repair.Pearson correlation and GSVA analyses showed that the expression of PKMYT1 was significantly and positively correlated with the cell cycle-related genes,gene sets and cell cycle checkpoint genes(P<0.01).Drug sensitivity analysis revealed that patients in the PKMYT1 high expression group had high sensitivity osimertinib,dabrafenib,carmustine and cediranib(P<0.05).Mutation analysis revealed that the IDH1 gene had a higher mutation frequency in the PKMYT1 low expression group.The results of immune infiltration analysis showed that PKMYT1 expression was significantly positively correlated with glioma stroma score(r=0.13,P<0.001),immune score(r=0.11,P<0.01)and ESTIMATE score(r=0.13,P<0.001);and was significantly positively correlated with immune cell infiltration level of regulatory T(Treg)cells and M2-type macrophages(P<0.05).Conclusion:Patients with high PKMYT1 expression have a poorer prognosis,and the mechanism may be related to tumor immune infiltration and cell cycle regulation.PKMYT1 is expected to be a potential target for the diagnosis and treatment of glioma.
