Objective·To study the effect of neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum perovskite(Nd:YAP)laser biostimulation on the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of human periodontal ligament cells(hPDLCs)and its possible mechanism.Methods·Five premolars removed for orthodontic reasons were collected from Changzhou Stomatological Hospital,and the periodontal ligament tissues from the middle 1/3 of the roots were taken to culture hPDLCs in vitro.The cells were irradiated with the biostimulation function[G(-)mode]of the Nd:YAP laser.According to the irradiation time,the cells were divided into a control group(without laser irradiation),and groups irradiated for 5 s,10 s,15 s,20 s and 30 s.The cell counting kit-8(CCK-8)method was used to detect the proliferation of hPDLCs in each group.After osteogenic differentiation was induced,the alkaline phosphatase(ALP)content and activity level of the cells were detected using an ALP staining kit and an ALP activity detection kit.The calcium salt level of the cells was evaluated by alizarin red S staining and calcium quantitative analysis.The expression of genes and proteins related to the WNT/β-catenin signaling pathway,including dickkopf-related protein 1(DKK-1),β-catenin,and runt-related transcription factor 2(RUNX2),was analyzed by quantitative real-time PCR(qPCR)and Western blotting.Results·The results of CCK-8 showed that the proliferation level of cells in the 10 s,15 s,20 s,and 30 s groups was enhanced from 3 d after irradiation(all P<0.05).After induction of osteogenic differentiation,ALP content,activity,and calcium salt level in the laser irradiation groups increased with the extension of irradiation time(all P<0.05).The results of qPCR and Western blotting analysis showed that the expression levels of the DKK-1 gene and protein in the laser irradiation groups decreased with the extension of irradiation time.However,the expression levels of β-catenin and RUNX2 genes and proteins increased significantly with the extension of irradiation time;there were statistically significant differences between the 15 s,20 s,and 30 s groups and the control group(all P<0.05).Conclusion·Nd:YAP laser biostimulation may promote proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of hPDLCs through WNT/β-catenin signaling pathway.

Objective To develop a deep learning model based on fundus retinal images to improve the detection rate of mild cognitive impairment(MCI)in patients with coronary heart disease,achieve early intervention and improve prognosis.Methods The study was a single-center cross-sectional study that retrospectively included patients diagnosed with coronary heart disease(CHD)by coronary angiography(≥50％ stenosis of at least one coronary vessel)from Beijing Anzhen Hospital between November 2021 and December 2022.The whole data set was randomly divided into the training set and the testing set according to the ratio of 8∶2 for model development.After that,the patient data of the same center from January 2023 to April 2023 were included in the time verification method to verify the model.The diagnostic criteria for MCI were MMSE＜27 or MoCA＜26.Four kinds of convolutional neural network(CNN)architectures were used to train fundus images,and a comprehensive vision model of MCI detection was established through model integration.The area under the curve(AUC),sensitivity and specificity of the receiver operating curve(ROC)were used to evaluate the performance of the AI model.Results We collected 5 880 eligible fundus images from 3 368 CHD patients.Based on the results of the MMSE scale,the algorithm was labeled,including 2 898 males and 527 MCI patients.The AUC of the deep learning model in the test group is 0.733(95％CI 0.688-0.778),and the sensitivity of the algorithm in the test group is 0.577(95％CI 0.528-0.625)by using the operating point with the maximum sum of sensitivity and specificity.With a specificity of 0.758(95％CI 0.714-0.802),corresponding to a validated AUC of 0.710(95％CI 0.601-0.818).Based on the results of the MoCA scale,the algorithm labels 2 437 males and 1 626 MCI patients.The AUC of the deep learning model in the test group was 0.702(95％CI 0.671-0.733).The operating point with the maximum sum of sensitivity and specificity was selected,and the sensitivity of the algorithm was 0.749(95％CI 0.719-0.778)and the specificity was 0.561(95％CI 0.527-0.595),corresponding to the AUC value of the verification group was 0.674(95％CI 0.622-0.726).Conclusions The deep learning algorithm model based on fundus images has good diagnostic performance,and may be used as a new non-invasive,convenient and rapid screening method for MCI in CHD population.

Mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs)play a crucial role in tissue repair and regeneration,and the extracellular vesicle(EV)released by them holds great promise for applications in clinical biomarkers,vaccines,and drug delivery.However,MSCs-derived EV(MSCs-EV)face challenges such as low pro-duction yield,poor retention,and targeted delivery issues.There-fore,engineering MSCs-EV to enhance their performance and en-able visual research has become a hot topic.Curcumin(CUR),an active component in traditional chinese medicine,exhibits pharmacological effects but has limited bioavailability.Using MSCs-EV as a carrier for CUR delivery can address its solubility and bioavailability challenges.This article reviews the drug loading methods,engineering strategies of MSCs-EV,and their important applications in the delivery and treatment of CUR for cartilage injury diseases.It provides a basis for the clinical ap-plication of engineered MSCs-EV in CUR delivery for cartilage repair,offering potential solutions to the challenges in cartilage tissue repair.

Aim To explore the effect of astragalosideⅣ(AS-Ⅳ)on lipopolysaccharide(LPS)-induced po-larization and migration of RAW 264.7 macrophages and the underlying mechanism.Methods 1 mg·L-1 LPS was used to construct cell migration model.Scratch assay was utilized to determine cell migration rate.Immunofluorescence staining was utilized to de-tect the expression and location of F4/80,iNOS and Arg-1.CCK-8 assay was used to determine the viabili-ty of RAW 264.7 cells.Griess assay was used to measure NO content.Molecular docking was used to analyze the interaction between AS-Ⅳ and the core tar-gets such as cGAS and STING protein.Western blot was employed to detect the expression of iNOS,Arg-1,cGAS,STING,NF-κB p65 and p-NF-κB p65 protein.Results AS-Ⅳ significantly inhibited the migration and M1 polarization of RAW 264.7 cells induced by LPS.Moreover,AS-Ⅳ could interact with cGAS and STING protein,especially cGAS.Further Western blot assay showed that AS-Ⅳ significantly downregulated the expression of iNOS,cGAS,STING and p-NF-κB p65 protein.Conclusions AS-Ⅳ could promote mac-rophage M1 to M2 polarization,thereby inhibited mac-rophage migration through restraining the cGAS/STING/NF-κB signaling pathway,which provides a new therapeutic target for AS-Ⅳ to improve the early inflammatory response of AS.

Aim To investigate the role of corylin in angiotensin Ⅱ(Ang Ⅱ)-induced cardiomyocyte hy-pertrophy and its underlying mechanisms.Methods An Ang Ⅱ-induced cardiomyocyte hypertrophy model was established and treated with corylin.Real-time PCR was employed to assess hypertrophic gene mRNA expression,and immunofluorescence was used to meas-ure cardiomyocyte surface area.Western blot and en-zyme activity assay kits were used to evaluate SIRT1 expression and activity.Results Corylin markedly mitigated Ang Ⅱ-induced hypertrophic gene expression and cardiomyocyte surface area enlargement.Moreo-ver,it prevented the Ang Ⅱ-mediated decline in SIRT1 protein levels and deacetylase activity.Further investi-gation indicated that corylin inhibited Ang Ⅱ-driven NF-κB transcriptional activity and the expression of its downstream target genes,such as TNF-α,IL-6,and IL-1β.Notably,SIRT1 silencing abolished the protective effects of corylin against cardiomyocyte hypertrophy,as well as its regulation of the SIRT1/NF-κB signaling pathway.Conclusion Corylin suppresses cardiomyo-cyte hypertrophy by modulating the SIRT1-dependent NF-κB signaling pathway.

Coronavirus,a major pathogen infecting humans,mammals,and birds,causes primarily respiratory diseases af-ter infecting humans.Seven coronaviruses have been found to infect humans and subsequently cause varying degrees of respira-tory symptoms.From 2019 to 2023,millions of people died from severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infections,and the virus continues to mutate.Therefore,drug screening research must urgently be expanded to develop more effective,broad-spectrum anti-coronavirus drugs.In-depth research has indicated that the coronavirus 3C-like protease and RNA polymer-ase are necessary for viral reproduction and are highly conserved among strains,and consequently are anti-virus targets of great interest.This article summarizes the enzymes encoded by coronaviruses and drug screening methods,to provide a reference for coronavirus prevention and control.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of the multidisciplinary team （MDT） management model in improving the prognosis of patients with cirrhotic portal hypertension. MethodsA total of 86 patients with cirrhotic portal hypertension who were admitted to Shenzhen Third People’s Hospital from May 2022 to July 2024 were enrolled， and according to whether the MDT treatment regimen was implemented， they were divided into execution group with 51 patients and non-execution group with 35 patients. Baseline clinical data were collected， and the patients were observed in terms of gastrointestinal bleeding， hepatic encephalopathy， liver cancer， and death from admission to the end of follow-up （January 2025）. The independent-samples t test was used for comparison of normally distributed continuous data between two groups， and the Wilcoxon rank-sum test was used for comparison of non-normally distributed continuous data between two groups； the chi-square test or the Fisher’s exact test was used for comparison of categorical data between groups. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to plot survival curves for the cumulative incidence rates of endpoint events （gastrointestinal bleeding， hepatic encephalopathy， liver cancer， and death）， and the Log-rank test was used for comparison between groups. The Cox proportional-hazards regression model analysis was used to investigate the effect of MDT management on the prognosis of patients. ResultsThere were significant differences between the execution group and the non-execution group in diameter of the portal vein （t=1.216， P=0.017） and ascites （χ²=4.515， P=0.034） at baseline. The patients were followed up for 14.6±6.2 months， and the survival curve analysis showed that there was a significant difference in the cumulative incidence rate of gastrointestinal bleeding between the two groups （χ²=4.573， P=0.024）， while there were no significant differences in the incidence rates of other outcome events between the two groups （all P>0.05）. The Cox regression analysis showed that the execution group had a reduced risk of gastrointestinal bleeding （hazard ratio=0.262， 95% confidence interval： 0.110 — 0.630， P=0.003）. ConclusionImplementation of the MDT treatment regimen can significantly reduce the short-term risk of gastrointestinal bleeding in patients with cirrhotic portal hypertension， while its long-term benefits require further follow-up verification.

A rapid and accurate method for textile fiber identification was developed for quality control and consumer protection.This method utilized electric soldering iron burning-mesh collision enhanced microtube plasma ionization mass spectrometry(ESIB-MC-μTP-MS)to acquire textile fiber MS data and used a random forest(RF)prediction model to identify fiber composition based on these MS data.The MC-μTP device involved in the method was a homemade low-temperature plasma ionization device constructed using cost-effective and readily available components.The system was applicable for direct analysis of small amount of textile samples without any complex sample pretreatment processes.Characteristic thermal decomposition products of different fibers were generated via soldering iron burning(350℃)in ambient atmosphere,and were subsequently analyzed by a mass spectrometer,with each analysis completed within 5 s.Raw MS data underwent noise reduction,normalization,and global binning steps to form a dataset,and its intrinsic class separability was evaluated using principal component analysis(PCA)combined with k-means clustering.Then,the RF model was trained based on the dimensionality-reduced textile fiber dataset.After grid search optimization,this model demonstrated robust performance with a 0.9762 out-of-bag score,a 0.9683 cross-validation accuracy(5-fold),and a 0.9636 test accuracy,supported by precision,recall,and F1-scores exceeding 0.889 for all fiber classes.The method was applied to analysis of 30 luxury apparel samples from eight brands,among which 20 samples achieved 100%prediction confidence,aligning with labeled compositions.The identification result of two low-confidence samples was further confirmed using attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(ATR-FT-IR).The method has been proven to be simple,portable and with minimal sample requirements for on-site customs inspections,providing a viable tool in the fight against counterfeit products,therefore supporting regulatory enforcement and consumer trust in the textile goods market.

AIM To investigate the therapeutic mechanism of tanshinone ⅡA in a mouse model of chronic colitis induced by trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid(TNBS).METHODS The BALB/c mice were randomly divided into the control group,the model group,and the low-dose and high-dose tanshinone ⅡA groups(10,20 mg/kg).Chronic inflammatory bowel disease(IBD)was induced in the model and tanshinone ⅡA groups by epicutaneous application of 3.75 mg TNBS(dissolved in 48％ethanol),followed by intrarectal administration of TNBS(0.75,1.5 and 2.25 mg in 40％ethanol)on days 7,14 and 21.Starting on day 7 post-modeling,the mice underwent their 14-day consecutive dosing of corresponding drugs by gavage.The mice had their disease activity index(DAI)assessed;their colon length and weight measured;and their levels of inflammatory factors IFN-γ and TNF-α in the colon mucosa detected by ELISA.The wild-type and PXR-/-mice were randomly divided into the control group,the model group,and the tanshinone ⅡA group(20 mg/kg).After modeling and drug administration using the aforementioned method,Masson staining was used to assess the intestinal fibrosis;immunohistochemistry was employed to detect the colon expression of ZO-1 and Occludin proteins;and immunofluorescence was used to detect the colon expression of NF-κB p65.RESULTS Tanshinone ⅡA(20 mg/kg)reduced DAI scores,colon weight/length ratio,and the colon levels of IFN-γ and TNF-α of the mouse models(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).Compared with the WT control group,the WT model group and PXR-/-control group exhibited increased colon histopathological scores and fibrosis areas(P＜0.01),decreased protein expressions of ZO-1 and Occludin(P＜0.01),and increased expression of p-NF-κB p65(P＜0.01).Compared with the WT model group,the WT tanshinone ⅡA group showed reduced colon weight/length ratio,histopathological scores,and fibrosis areas(P＜0.01);increased protein expressions of ZO-1 and Occludin(P＜0.05,P＜0.01);and decreased expression of p-NF-κB p65(P＜0.01).However,tanshinone ⅡA showed no significant therapeutic effect upon PXR-/-model mice(P＞0.05).CONCLUSION Tanshinone ⅡA(20 mg/kg)can effectively alleviate TNBS-induced chronic colitis in mice,and this protective effect may be exerted by the modulation of PXR/NF-κB signaling pathway.
