ObjectiveThis paper aims to investigate the material basis of the anti-inflammatory efficacy and mechanism of action of Bushen Tongdu prescription （BSTDP）. MethodsThe chemical components of BSTDP and its blood-absorbed components in vivo were systematically identified by using ultra-performance liquid chromatography-linear ion trap-electrostatic field orbitrap high-resolution mass spectrometry （UPLC-LIT-Orbitrap-MS）. Network pharmacology was employed to screen blood-absorbed bioactive components and potential targets of this formula. A protein-protein interaction （PPI） network of core targets was constructed to conduct enrichment analysis. Molecular docking was further utilized to verify the binding affinity between key components and targets. The inflammatory model was established and verified in vivo by using a transgenic zebrafish Tg （mpx： GFP）. At three days post-fertilization （3 dpf）， larvae of zebrafish were randomly assigned to blank group， model group， positive drug dexamethasone acetate group （75 μmol·L^-1）， and BSTDP groups with low， medium， and high doses （500， 1 000， and 2 000 mg·L^-1）. The distribution and quantity of neutrophils in the yolk sac region were observed under a fluorescence microscope. The mRNA expression levels of key genes in the toll-like receptor 4 （TLR4）/myeloid differentiation factor 88 （MyD88）/nuclear factor kappa-B （NF-κB） signaling pathway and inflammatory factors including interleukin （IL）-1β， IL-6， and tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α） were detected by Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR）. ResultsA total of 120 chemical components were identified in BSTDP， among which 26 original components were confirmed by using serum pharmacochemical methods. A total of 227 common targets linking rheumatoid arthritis （RA） and the blood-absorbed components were screened by network pharmacology. It is suggested that pseudobrucine， vomicine， sinapine， rehmannioside， cinnamyl alcohol glycoside， and methylephedrine exert anti-inflammatory effects by acting on core targets including protein kinase B1 （Akt1）， signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 （STAT3）， tumor necrosis factor （TNF）， TLR4， mitogen-activated protein kinase 14 （MAPK14）， and phosphatidylinositol-4，5-bisphosphate 3-kinase catalytic subunit α （PIK3CA）， thereby modulating multiple signaling pathways such as TLR4 and NF-κB. In vivo verification in zebrafish demonstrates that the maximum tolerable concentration of Bushen Tongdu Formula is 2 000 mg·L^-1. Compared to those in the blank group， zebrafish in the model group showed a significantly higher number of neutrophils in the yolk sac region （P<0.01） and rising mRNA levels of TLR4， MyD88， NF-κB， TNF-α， IL-6， and IL-1β （P<0.01）. Compared to that in the model group， the number of neutrophils was significantly reduced in BSTDP groups with medium and high doses， as well as the dexamethasone acetate group （P<0.05， P<0.01）. There was no statistically significant difference in the low dose group. The mRNA expression levels of TLR4， MyD88， NF-κB， TNF-α， IL-6， and IL-1β were significantly down-regulated （P<0.05， P<0.01）. ConclusionThis paper identifies the material basis of the efficacy of BSTDP， demonstrating that the formula can exert an anti-inflammatory effect through the TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB signaling pathway. The results provide scientific experimental evidence for its further clinical application.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the clinical manifestations and genetic etiology of a fetus with Neurodevelopmental disorders with deformed facial features and distal skeletal abnormalities (NEDDFSA). METHODS: Clinical data of a NEDDFSA fetus diagnosed at the Affiliated Women and Children's Hospital Affiliated to Ningbo University in March 2025 was selected as the study subject. Whole-exome sequencing (WES) was carried out on the amniotic fluid and parental peripheral blood samples, and candidate variants was verified by Sanger sequencing. The pathogenicity of candidate variant was rated based on guidelines from the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG). This study was approved by the Medical Ethics Committee of the hospital (Ethics No.: EC2023-094). RESULTS: At 30 weeks of gestation, the fetus was found to have microcephaly, short femur and intrauterine growth restriction. WES revealed that the fetus harbored a de novo heterozygous frameshift variant c.2633dup (p.Gly879ArgfsTer22) of the ZMIZ1 gene, which was rated as pathogenic (PM2_Supporting+PS2_Supporting+PVS1). Combined with 25 cases from the literature, the main manifestations of patients have included intellectual disability, growth retardation and cranio-limb skeletal dysplasia, albeit without clear genotype-phenotype correlation. CONCLUSION The de novo variant c.2633dup (p.Gly879ArgfsTer22) of the ZMIZ1 gene probably underlay the NEDDFSA in this fetus. Genetic testing has enabled accurate prenatal diagnosis and provided evidence for genetic counseling and reproductive guidance of this family.

Objective To compare the dosimetric differences, plan complexity, verification pass rate, and execution efficiency of volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) plans designed for post-mastectomy radiotherapy of breast cancer using Halcyon 2.0 and VitalBeam accelerators in flattening filter-free mode. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on imaging data from 87 female breast cancer patients aged 29 to 75 (49.9 ± 9.9) years who underwent modified radical mastectomy followed by radiotherapy. VMAT plans were designed using both VitalBeam and Halcyon accelerators in flattening filter-free mode. The dosimetric parameters, plan complexity, verification pass rate, and execution efficiency were compared between the plans designed for both accelerators, with a significance level of P<0.05. Results In terms of target volume parameters, Halcyon 2.0 plans demonstrated superior homogeneity index and conformity index. For organs at risk, the Halcyon 2.0 plans showed lower doses for the lungs (D_20% and D_mean) and heart (D_mean) compared to the VitalBeam plans (all P<0.05). Regarding plan complexity, Halcyon 2.0 plans exhibited better median average aperture area variation (0.35 ± 0.02), smaller aperture score, and larger median plan aperture area than VitalBeam plans (all P<0.05). However, VitalBeam plans had a superior median modulation complexity score (0.28 ± 0.01) compared to Halcyon 2.0 plans (P<0.05). Patient plans were assessed using the ArcCHECK phantom, revealing higher pass rates and significantly shorter execution time for Halcyon plans compared to VitalBeam plans (P<0.05). Conclusion Both Halcyon 2.0 and VitalBeam accelerators can provide high-quality VMAT plans for postoperative radiotherapy of breast cancer, with excellent verification pass rates ensuring treatment accuracy and efficacy. However, Halcyon 2.0 offers lower plan complexity, simplifies the treatment planning process, and reduces execution time, thereby achieving higher treatment efficiency and demonstrating greater advantages in clinical applications.

Background Mitochondrial biogenesis is pivotal in coal workers' pneumoconiosis fibrosis, yet the role of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1-alpha (PGC-1α)-nuclear respiratory factor 1 (NRF1)-mitochondrial transcription factor A (TFAM) pathway inmitochondrial biogenesis remains elusive, warranting further investigation. Objective To elucidate the role of the PGC-1α-NRF1-TFAM pathway in mitochondrial biogenesis in a rat coal workers' pneumoconiosis model through in vivo and in vitro experiments. Methods (1)n vivo: twelve SPF male SD rats (200-220 g) were randomized into a control group and a coal dust group (n=6 per group). After acclimatization, the coal dust group received 1 mL 50 mg·mL⁻¹ coal dust suspension via intratracheal instillation; the controls received saline. Lung tissues were harvested after two months for histopathology [HE, Masson, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) ], protein and mRNA analysis, and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) quantification by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). (2) In vitro: rat lung type II epithelial cells (RLE-6TN) cells were exposed to coal dust (50, 100, 200, and 400 mg·L⁻¹, 24 h). CCK-8 assay determined optimal doses. Ultrastructural changes were analyzed by TEM. Cells were transfected with OE-PGC-1α (PGC-1α overexpression) or shRNA-PGC-1α plasmids (PGC-1α knockdown), and the transfection efficiency was determined by reverse transcription quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). The expression levels of alpah-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), citrate synthase (CS), PGC-1α, NRF1, TFAM, and fibronectin (Fn) proteins and their corresponding mRNA were detected using Western blot and RT-qPCR, respectively. The relative content of mtDNA was determined by qPCR. Results In vivo: the control group lung samples exhibited soft, pink parenchyma, while the coal dust-exposed lungs showed blackened surfaces with soft texture. The histopathological evaluation revealed intact alveolar walls in the controls versus structural destruction, micro-nodules, and fibrotic areas in the coal dust group. After Masson staining, coal dust deposits were found surrounded by blue collagen fibers in the exposed lungs, but absent in the controls. The coal dust group displayed significant upregulation of fibrotic marker α-SMA and downregulation of mitochondrial biogenesis markers (CS, PGC-1α, NRF1, TFAM) and mtDNA compared to the controls (P<0.05). In vitro: coal dust exposure reduced cell density and induced morphological alterations. TEM revealed evenly distributed normal mitochondria in controls versus mitochondrial swelling, disrupted cristae, and reduced numbers in exposed cells. The mitochondrial biogenesis markers were elevated in the coal dust + OE-PGC-1α group compared to the coal dust + OE-NC group (P<0.05); in contrast, they were decreased in the coal dust + shRNA-PGC-1α group compared to the coal dust + shRNA-NC group (P<0.05). Compared to the control group, the expression levels of the fibrosis marker α-SMA mRNA and protein were increased in the coal dust group (P<0.05). Overexpression of PGC-1α reduced α-SMA expression, while downregulation of PGC-1α increased its expression (P<0.05). Conclusion Coal dust exposure induces mitochondrial dysfunction and pulmonary fibrosis in vivo and in vitro via the PGC-1α-NRF1-TFAM pathway dysregulation. Targeting this pathway may mitigate coal dust-induced fibrosis by restoring mitochondrial biogenesis.

OBJECTIVE To compare the short-term efficacy of autologous frozen tragus perichondrium and fresh perichondrium in repairing tympanic membrane perforations,and to explore the clinical application value of autologous frozen tragus perichondrium.METHODS Twenty-five patients with bilateral tympanic membrane perforations from March 2021 to October 2023 were selected,including 7 males and 18 females.Bilateral tympanoplasty was completed in stages.The initial operation was set as the control group,in which the ventral perichondrium of the tragus was used for tympanoplasty,and the dorsal perichondrium of the tragus was reserved and stored at-80℃ultra-low temperature in a sterile container.The second operation was set as the observation group,in which the thawed frozen perichondrium was used for contralateral tympanoplasty.The differences in the healing rate of tympanic membrane,postoperative hearing,operation time and surgical bleeding volume were compared between the two groups.RESULTS All patients were followed up for three months.The success rate of tympanic membrane healing in the observation group was 96%(24/25),and that in the control group was 92%(23/25).There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups(χ2=0.36,P>0.05).The operation time and surgical bleeding volume of patients in the observation group were lower than those in the control group[(48.64±4.64)min vs.(67.92±5.69)min,(5.32±1.54)ml vs.(9.65±1.73)ml],and the differences were statistically significant(t=13.93,t=12.09,P all<0.05).The postoperative air conduction hearing thresholds and air-bone conduction gap of the two groups of patients were lower than those before operation(all P<0.05).There was no difference in air conduction hearing threshold,bone conduction hearing threshold and air-bone conduction difference between the groups(all P>0.05).CONCLUSION The application of autologous frozen tragus perichondrium has effectively shortened the operation time of the contralateral ear,avoided the trauma caused by taking materials again,and has the characteristics of minimally invasive and high efficiency.The method is feasible and the curative effect is accurate.

ObjectiveTo investigate the mechanism by which Mingshi prescription regulates the retinal melanopsin-dopamine （Opn4-DA） axis in myopic mice to inhibit endoplasmic reticulum （ER） stress in the retina and sclera， thereby delaying axial elongation associated with myopia. MethodsSixty 4-week-old male SPF-grade C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into a normal group， a form-deprived myopia group （FDM group）， an intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells ablation group （ipRGCs group）， a Mingshi Prescription group （MSF group， 5.2 g·kg^-1）， and an ipRGCs + MSF group （5.2 g·kg^-1）. Except for the normal group， all other groups underwent FDM modeling. Additionally， the ipRGCs and ipRGCs + MSF groups received retinal ipRGC ablation. Three weeks after modeling， the MSF and ipRGCs + MSF groups were administered Mingshi prescription via continuous gavage for six weeks. After refraction and axial length were measured in all mice， eyeballs were collected along with retinal and scleral tissues. Pathological and morphological changes in the retina， choroid， and sclera were observed using periodic acid-Schiff （PAS） staining. Western blot was employed to detect the relative protein expression levels of dopamine D1 receptor （DRD1）， C/EBP homologous protein （CHOP）， and glucose-regulated protein 78 （GRP78） in the retina， and CHOP and GRP78 in the sclera. Real-time PCR was used to detect the relative mRNA expression of Opn4， CHOP， and GRP78 in the retina， and CHOP and GRP78 in the sclera. Immunofluorescence staining （IF） was performed to detect the expression of Opn4 and DRD1 in retinal tissues. ResultsCompared with the normal group， the FDM group showed a significant myopic shift in refraction （P<0.05） and a significant increase in axial length （P<0.05）. The retinal layers were thinner， the number of ganglion cells was reduced， and collagen fibers in the sclera were loosely arranged with evident gaps. Opn4 and DRD1 protein and mRNA expression in the retina were significantly decreased （P<0.05）， while CHOP and GRP78 protein and mRNA expression in both retinal and scleral tissues were significantly increased （P<0.05）. Compared with the FDM group， the ipRGCs group exhibited further increases in myopic refraction and axial length （P<0.05）， more pronounced thinning and looseness in the retinal， choroidal， and scleral layers， lower expression of Opn4 and DRD1 protein and mRNA in the retina （P<0.05）， and higher expression of CHOP and GRP78 protein and mRNA in the retina and sclera （P<0.05）. Compared with the FDM group， the MSF group showed significantly reduced refractive error and axial length （P<0.05）， with improved cellular number， arrangement， and thickness in ocular tissues， increased Opn4 and DRD1 protein and mRNA expression in the retina （P<0.05）， and reduced CHOP and GRP78 protein and mRNA expression in both retina and sclera （P<0.05）. Similarly， the ipRGCs + MSF group showed significant improvements in terms of the above items compared with the ipRGCs group （P<0.05）. ConclusionMingshi Prescription delays myopic axial elongation and refractive progression by regulating the Opn4-DA axis in the retina of myopic mice， thereby inhibiting ER stress in the retina and sclera. This intervention promotes Qi and blood nourishment of the eyes， softens the fascia， and restores ocular rhythm.

Objective To investigate the renal function recovery and perioperative risk factors for chronic kidney disease in patients after acute Stanford type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) repair. Methods A retrospective study was conducted on patients who underwent ATAAD repair at the Xiamen Cardiovascular Hospital, Xiamen University from 2020 to 2021, and their clinical data were analyzed. Results A total of 255 patients were included, with 200 males and 55 females, and an average age of (52.80±12.46) years. The incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) after ATAAD repair was 43.9%. Dissection involving the renal artery [OR=2.144, 95%CI (1.234, 3.765), P=0.007], intraoperative urine output [OR=0.761, 95%CI (0.625, 0.911), P=0.004], and intraoperative red blood cell transfusion [OR=1.288, 95%CI (1.088, 1.543), P=0.004] were significantly associated with early AKI after ATAAD repair. Long-term renal function follow-up data were available for 232 patients, among whom 40 (17.2%) patients developed chronic kidney disease (CKD). Independent predictors for CKD included lower body mass index [OR=0.827, 95%CI (0.723, 0.931), P=0.003], preoperative cardiac tamponade [OR=5.344, 95%CI (1.65, 17.958), P=0.005], preoperative renal hypoperfusion syndrome [OR=12.629, 95%CI (5.003, 35.373), P<0.001], postoperative peak serum creatinine time>3 d [OR=7.566, 95%CI (2.799, 22.731), P<0.001], and AKI grade [grade 1: OR=4.418, 95%CI (1.339, 15.361), P=0.016; grade 2: OR=8.345, 95%CI (1.762, 40.499), P=0.007; grade 3: OR=9.463, 95%CI (2.602, 37.693), P<0.001]. Conclusion AKI related to ATAAD repair can recover in the early postoperative period, but both the duration and severity of AKI will affect long-term renal function. In addition, patients' nutritional status, preoperative cardiac tamponade, and renal hypoperfusion syndrome are also independent risk factors for long-term renal dysfunction.

Objective:To investigate the role of Fem-1 homolog C(FEM1C)in breast cancer progression and elucidate its underlying regulat-ory mechanism.Methods:The expression of FEM1C in breast cancer tissues and cells were detected with qPCR.The binding of FEM1C to ELAVL1 protein was predicted with an online database and validated by CoIP analysis;and the binding of ELAVL1 protein to OPA1 mRNA was predicted by using the starBase database and validated by RIP analysis.Next,breast cancer cell MDA-MB-231 was transfected with FEM1C shRNA(sh-FEM1C)or overexpression vector(FEM1C)or/and ELAVL1 overexpression vector(ELAVL1)or/and OPA1 overexpression vector(OPA1),or treated with 100 μM Mdivi-1,an DRP1 inhibitor,or MYLS22,an OPA1 inhibitor.Finally,nude mice were injected with sh-FEM1C lentiviral vectors to construct xenograft tumor models,and tumor growth was monitored.Results:The expression of FEM1C was upregu-lated in breast cancer tissues(P<0.01).Silencing FEM1C inhibited the proliferation,induced apoptosis,promoted the expression of auto-phagy protein LC3 Ⅱ/Ⅰ,inhibited p62 protein expression,upregulated the protein level of PINK1 in mitochondrial,promoted the expres-sion of mitochondrial fission proteins DRP1 and MIEF2,and inhibited the expression of fusion proteins OPA1 and MFN1 in MDA-MB-231 cells(P<0.01).Mdivi-1 treatment inhibited DRP1 expression(P<0.01),but had no effect on cell viability(P>0.05);MYLS22 treatment inhibited OPA1 expression and counteracted the effect of FEM1C overexpression on MDA-MB-231 cells(P<0.01).Mechanistic studies revealed that FEM1C binds to ELAVL1 protein and promotes its expression(P<0.01);ELAVL1 protein stabilizes OPA1 mRNA by binding to it and upregu-lates OPA1 protein levels(P<0.01).Overexpression of OPA1 reversed the effect of FEM1C silencing on MDA-MB-231 cells(P<0.01).In vivo results showed that knockdown of FEM1C inhibited tumor growth in vivo(P<0.01).Conclusions:FEM1C promotes the stability of OPA1 mRNA by upregulation of ELAVL1 protein to promote mitochondrial fusion and inhibit autophagy,thereby promoting breast cancer progression.

All patients were treated with rhGH. The growth parameters, growth factors, glucose metabolism and lipid metabolism indexes were collected and calculated before treatment and at 3, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months after treatment, the influence of sex and age on these indexes and the correlations between these indicators and height growth rate were analyzed. Independent-sample t-test was used to compare two groups with normal distribution, one-way ANOVA was used to compare multiple groups, and repeated measures ANOVA was used to compare the mean of each time point within groups. The nonparametric rank sum test was used for the comparison of non-normal distribution measurement data. Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between HGV and each index.Results:A total of 80 children were enrolled, 39 boys and 41 girls. Grouped by age, there were 20 in the 3.00-5.99 age group, 41 in the 6.00-9.99 age group, and 19 in the ≥10.00 age group. All patients after 24 months of treatment had a higher height ((135.13±13.17) cm), HtSDS (-0.73 (-1.04, -0.41)), body weight (29.25 (23.13, 35.00) kg), weight standard deviation score (WtSDS) (-0.44 (-1.03, 0.03)), and body mass index (BMI) (15.99 (14.90,16.92) kg/m 2) compared to before treatment ((115.44±12.87) cm, -2.11 (-2.57, -2.03), 20.00 (16.00,25.00) kg, -1.48 (-2.12, -0.89) and 15.30 (14.45, 16.21) kg/m 2) all increased, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). The increase in HtSDS in the group aged 3.00-5.99 (1.74±0.29) was higher than that in the group aged 6.00-9.99 (1.57±0.33) and ≥10.00 (1.39±0.45), and the difference was statistically significant ( F=4.84, P=0.010). All patients showed an increase in insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) (329.50 (268.00, 417.25) μg/L) and insulin-like growth factor binding globulin 3 (IGFBP-3) (6.27 (5.50,6.95) mg/L) after 24 months of treatment compared to before treatment (131.50 (96.48,177.25) μg/L, 4.07 (3.60,4.88) mg/L), with statistical significance (all P<0.05). After treatment for 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, 18 months, and 24 months, children aged ≥ 10.00 years old with IGF-1 (353.00 (221.00, 493.00), (414.84±147.91), 441.00 (287.00, 578.00), (421.68±138.30), 376.00 (290.00, 581.00) μg/L) were higher than these in 3.00-5.99 years old group (181.00 (151.25, 237.75), (216.30±68.48), 239.50 (216.75, 325.00), (284.30±89.12), 293.00 (245.25, 343.75)) μg/L and 6.00-9.99 age group (253.00 (193.50, 345.50), (294.59±90.37), 284.00 (217.50, 377.50), (325.76±90.04), 345.00 (265.00, 431.00) μg/L, the difference was statistically significant (all P<0.05). At 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, and 18 months of treatment, IGFBP-3 levels were observed in children aged ≥ 10.00 years old (6.15 (5.52, 6.46), (6.56±1.26), (6.78±1.33), (6.78±1.38) mg/L) higher than 3.00-5.99 years old group (4.69 (4.43,5.11), (5.18±0.63), (5.61±0.84), (6.08±1.00) mg/L) and 6.00-9.99 age group (5.51 (4.76, 6.35), (5.61±0.81), (5.72±0.78), (6.03±0.80) mg/L, the difference was statistically significant (all P<0.05). All children with HbA1C (5.40 (5.20, 5.58)%), fasting blood glucose (5.06 (4.76, 5.24) mmol/L), triglycerides (0.67 (0.53, 1.02) mmol/L), TyG index (2.24±0.48), and triglyceride/HDL-C ratio (1.05 (0.73, 1.50)) after 24 months of treatment compared to before treatment (5.10 (5.00, 5.28)%, 4.78 (4.51, 5.09) mmol/L, 0.57 (0.47, 0.72) mmol/L, (1.92±0.36), 0.86 (0.65, 1.08). The level of cholesterol increased, and the total cholesterol (3.74 (3.39, 4.31) mmol/L) decreased compared to before treatment (3.95(3.64, 4.54) mmol/L), with statistical significance (all P<0.05). Female patients had higher levels of triglycerides (0.79 (0.59, 1.09) mmol/L) and TyG index (2.31±0.49) than male patients (0.66 (0.53,0.89) mmol/L, (2.16±0.46)) after 18 months of treatment. The triglyceride/HDL-C at 12 months (1.10(0.67, 1.93)), 18 months (1.16(0.83, 1.68)), and 24 months (1.26 (0.79, 1.81)) of treatment ratio was also higher than male patients (0.76 (0.61, 1.09), 0.90 (0.72, 1.08), 0.98 (0.66, 1.30)). Female HDL-C levels at 18 months (1.52 (1.29,1.75) mmol/L) and 24 months (1.45(1.29,1.76) mmol/L) of treatment were significantly lower in males (1.72 (1.45, 1.84), 1.59 (1.43, 1.92) mmol/L) with statistical significance (all P<0.05). HGV was positively correlated with IGF-1 at 12 months ( r=0.243, P=0.030) , 18 months ( r=0.277, P=0.013) and 24 months ( r=0.289, P=0.009), and it was positively correlated with IGFBP-3 at 18 months ( r=0.242, P=0.030) and 24 months ( r=0.236, P=0.035), but it was negatively correlated with HDL-C at 18 months ( r=-0.331, P=0.003) and 24 months ( r=-0.281, P=0.012). Conclusions:RhGH can obviously improve HtSDS and WtSDS in GHD children. Growth factors, glucose metabolism and lipid metabolism should be monitored during the treatment. Especially for female patients (≥10.00 years old), we should closely monitor the indexes of glucose and lipid metabolism in order to avoid metabolic diseases.
