The repair of bone defects is heavily influenced by the dynamic osteogenic microenvironment. Static scaffolds constructed by traditional 3D printing technology cannot simulate the dynamic nature of the microenvironment during bone defect repair due to the fixed structure, uncontrollable release of active factors, and difficult regeneration of blood vessels, among other factors. Breaking through the limitations of these static scaffolds and realizing the intelligent and dynamic regulation of the osteogenic microenvironment is a key scientific issue in the field of bone tissue engineering. 4D printing technology combines the dynamic responsiveness of bone restoration materials with the concept of intelligent design to regulate the micro and macro structure of scaffolds. This technology provides a new method for bone tissue engineering by responding to endogenous and exogenous stimuli and creating a better osteogenic microenvironment through functionalized design, including drug delivery and antibacterial function. However, this technology currently suffers from challenges related to dynamic response material design, insufficient precision of printing technology, and mismatches between multi-stimulus response systems, metabolic rhythms of bone tissue, and functionalized composite scaffolds. Future research should focus on the development of smart response materials with excellent dynamic responses and bioactivity, the creation of new printing technologies, and the design of personalized and precise bone repair solutions. The aim of this paper is to review the current research status of 4D printing for bone tissue engineering in terms of material types, response mechanisms, and applications to provide a theoretical basis for the development and clinical application of functional bone repair materials in the future.

Ulcerative colitis （UC）， a chronic relapsing inflammatory bowel disease， involves multifaceted pathological mechanisms such as intestinal barrier dysfunction， immune dysregulation， and oxidative stress. Current therapeutic strategies remain limited in efficacy and safety. In recent years， the adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase （AMPK） signaling pathway has emerged as a pivotal therapeutic target for UC due to its central role in energy metabolism， inflammatory regulation， and intestinal homeostasis. This article systematically reviewed the mechanisms by which traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） prevented and treated UC through the regulation of the AMPK signaling pathway， with a focus on elucidating AMPK's multidimensional regulatory network in inflammatory signaling crosstalk， alleviating oxidative stress， restoring intestinal immune balance， repairing the intestinal barrier， and modulating gut microbiota. Leveraging its unique advantages of multi-target engagement and low toxicity， TCM demonstrates promising potential in UC treatment and has become a focal area of research. By systematically summarizing and synthesizing the existing literature on TCM-mediated AMPK pathway modulation in UC， this review aims to provide a theoretical foundation for advancing mechanistic research and clinical interventions in UC.

ObjectiveTo delineate imaging findings using an imaging platform and investigate the correlation between MRI characteristics of spinal cord atrophy and clinical diagnosis in children with spinal cord injury (SCI). MethodsImaging data of 150 children with SCI admitted to Beijing Bo'ai Hospital, China Rehabilitation Research Center, from January, 2002 to March, 2024 were collected and imported into the imaging platform. The anteroposterior and transverse diameters of the middle part of the spinal cord at the cross-section with the most severe atrophy were measured, and the relevant indicators of the previous normal spinal cord segment were measured as controls; the radiomic features were extracted. Clinical data of the children including gender, age, cause of injury, sensory level, motor level, spinal cord injury level, injury severity and disease course were collected. ResultsSpinal cord atrophy was identified in 81 cases (54%), among which 78 cases (96%) were American Spinal Injury Association Impairment Scale (AIS) grade A and 3 cases (4%) were AIS grade C. The upper boundary of the spinal cord atrophy site strongly correlated with the injury level, motor level and sensory level (r > 0.8, P < 0.001). ConclusionMore than half of children with SCI may develop secondary spinal cord atrophy, the vast majority of whom suffer from complete spinal cord injury; the upper boundary of spinal cord atrophy is correlated with the injury level.

OBJECTIVE To systematically analyze the trends in the volume and value of out-licensing deals by Chinese biopharmaceutical companies over the past two decades， and to quantitatively identify factors associated with deal value， thereby providing an evidence base for policymakers and corporate managers. METHODS Based on the PharnexCloud database， information on out-licensing deals disclosed by Chinese biopharmaceutical companies between January 1， 2005 and December 31， 2025 was collected， and executed deals with disclosed specific financial terms were included for analysis. Descriptive statistical analyses of deal value， product characteristics and deal characteristics were performed using Stata SE 18.0； with the natural logarithm of deal value as the dependent variable， stepwise multiple regression models were constructed to examine the associations of product and deal characteristics with deal value. RESULTS A total of 210 out-licensing deals were included， with a cumulative deal value of approximately 214.151 billion dollars and a mean deal value of 1.020 billion dollars . The trading market expanded rapidly from 2020 onward， with the annual deal value reaching a record 95.687 billion dollars in 2025. Multiple regression analysis showed that the deal value of products at the drug discovery stage was significantly lower than that at the preclinical stage [regression coefficient （ β ） ＝－1.995， 95% confidence interval （CI）： －3.256 to －0.734， P ＜0.05 ] ； the deal value of oncology products was significantly higher than that of other therapeutic areas （ β ＝0.828， 95%CI： 0.224 to 1.431， P ＜0.05）； global licensing （ β ＝1.690， 95%CI： 1.107 to 2.273， P ＜0.05） and co-development arrangements （ β ＝0.849， 95%CI： 0.084 to 1.615， P ＜0.05） were significantly associated with higher deal value. CONCLUSIONS Out-licensing deals by Chinese biopharmaceutical companies have achieved significant growth in both volume and value over the past two decades. Oncology products， global licensing， and co-development arrangements are significantly and positively associated with higher deal value.

Objective Hypothyroidism is a common clinical disease of systemic metabolic reduction,the incidence and detection rate increased year by year.Based on the clinical characteristics of hypothyroidism,the study constructed and improved animal models to provide reference for the study of hypothyroidism prevention and treatment.Methods By reviewing relevant domestic and foreign literatures,the modeling methods of hypothyroidism were summarized and analyzed.According to the etiology,pathogenesis and clinical diagnostic criteria of hypothyroidism in Chinese medicine and Western medicine,the modeling methods and principles of hypothyroidism animal models were summarized,and the advantages and disadvantages of animal models and the evaluation of clinical conformity were analyzed.Results It was found that the model of drug induction,iodine restriction and 131 I-induced hypothyroidism had high clinical anastomosis in Western medicine,and had the advantages of simple operation,high model formation rate and good repeatability,the combination of the disease model and the syndrome model of kidney yang deficiency and spleen and kidney yang deficiency have a high degree of clinical conformity in TCM.Congenital induced hypothyroidism,autoimmune induced hypothyroidism and genetic induced hypothyroidism can be studied for their unique etiology and pathogenesis,but their clinical manifestations are relatively simple and their clinical anastomosis is relatively low.At present,the construction of hypothyroidism animal model is mainly based on the pathogenesis of Western medicine,and the evaluation of the model mostly relies on laboratory detection indicators.The clinical anastomosis score of traditional Chinese medicine is generally low,and the record of animal apparent indicators is generally insufficient.Conclusion In the process of building hypothyroidism animal model,based on the pathogenesis of traditional Chinese medicine,combining the etiology of traditional Chinese medicine and the pathogenesis of Western medicine,multi-factor comprehensive modeling method can be adopted to increase the record of apparent indicators,improve the accuracy of the four diagnoses and symptoms of traditional Chinese medicine,and systematically and dynamically observe the interaction process of disease and syndrome,so as to build an animal model of hypothyroidism which is more closely aligns with with the clinical characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine.

Objective:To identify independent risk factors for early recurrence following curative resection of resectable pancreatic cancer and establish a nomogram prediction model.Methods:Clinical data from 405 patients with resectable pancreatic cancer treated at Renji Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine from February 2010 to December 2020 were retrospectively reviewed. Patients were stratified into a training cohort (265 patients form February 2010 to December 2018) and a validation cohort (140 patients from January 2019 to December 2020) based on surgery dates. Optimal cutoff values for clinical variables were determined using X-tile software. Independent risk factors were identified through univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression analyses. Kaplan-Meier curves for recurrence-free survival (RFS) were generated across subgroups, and a nomogram was developed to predict early recurrence (within 1 year post-surgery). Time-dependent receiver operating characteristic (tROC) curves was drawn and area under the curve (AUC) metrics were utilized to evaluate predictive accuracy, while model reliability was assessed by calibration curves. Individualized risk scores derived from the nomogram were stratified into high- and low-risk groups using X-tile-derived cutoff values. Survival differences between groups were analyzed via log-rank tests. The clinical application value was judged by decision curve analysis (DCA) compared to TNM staging. Results:In the training cohort, 139 patients (52.45%) experienced early recurrence, with a median RFS of 11.1 months [interquartile range ( IQR): 6.0-26.0]. The validation cohort reported 70 early recurrences (50.00%) and a median RFS of 11.8 months ( IQR: 4.9-21.4). Univariate analysis revealed significant associations between early recurrence and tumor diameter, carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9), carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125), systemic immune-inflammation index (SⅡ), and prognostic nutritional index (PNI). Multivariate analysis identified tumor diameter ≥3.75 cm ( HR=1.718, 95% CI 1.223-2.412, P=0.002), CA19-9≥218 U/ml ( HR=1.567, 95% CI 1.107-2.220, P=0.011), CA125≥20.98 U/ml ( HR=2.501, 95% CI 1.768-3.539, P<0.001), SⅡ≥388.28 ( HR=1.708, 95% CI 1.096-2.662, P=0.018), and PNI<53.18 ( HR=0.596, 95% CI 0.404-0.879, P=0.009) as independent risk factors for early recurrence. The nomogram achieved AUC values of 0.771 and 0.708 in the training and validation cohorts, respectively. Calibration curves demonstrated strong agreement between predicted and observed survival probabilities. Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed significantly lower 1-year RFS rates in high-risk versus low-risk groups for both cohorts (training: HR=3.65, 95% CI 2.45-5.44, P<0.001; validation: HR=2.37, 95% CI 1.39-4.06, P=0.001). DCA indicated superior net benefit of the nomogram over TNM staging across threshold probabilities of 0.2-0.9. Conclusions:The proposed nomogram effectively integrates clinical and serological biomarkers to preoperatively assess early recurrence risk in resectable pancreatic cancer patients, offering enhanced precision for clinical decision-making.

A case of maxillary sinus cyst removal via lateral wall fenestration combined with sinus floor elevation and implant placement was reported.A 52-year-old female presented with bilateral posterior maxillary tooth loss.Preoperative CBCT revealed two dome-shaped pseudocysts at the right maxillary sinus floor,with intact sinus walls.During surgery,lateral wall fenestration was performed,followed by cyst aspiration and removal.The sinus mucosa was repaired using an absorbable collagen barrier membrane(Bio-Gide?),and deprotein-ized bovine bone matrix(Bio-Oss?)was implanted for bone augmentation.Postoperative CBCT at 9 months showed ideal bone height and density at the sinus floor,with no cyst recurrence and successful osseointegration of implants.The results suggest that concurrent cyst re-moval during sinus floor elevation could achieve stable bone augmentation when large cysts compromise the procedure.

Purpose To investigate interhemispheric homotopic functional connectivity in patients with neuropsychological systemic lupus erythematosus(NPSLE)during resting state and its relationship with clinical indicators and neuropsychological scales.Materials and Methods This prospective study enrolled 35 patients with NPSLE and 31 healthy controls(control group)from Taizhou People's Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University(June 2020 to March 2023).All participants underwent resting state functional MRI and completed neuropsychological assessments including mini-mental state examination,Montreal cognitive assessment,hospital anxiety and depression scale,fatigue scale for motor and cognitive functions,along with laboratory tests(C3,C4,IgA,IgM,IgG).Image preprocessing and voxel-mirrored homotopic connectivity(VMHC)calculations were performed using DPABI V7.0 on Matlab R2013b.Between-group differences in VMHC values were compared,and correlations between VMHC values in significant regions and neuropsychological/clinical data were analyzed.Results The NPSLE group demonstrated significantly lower mini-mental state examination and Montreal cognitive assessment scores compared with those in control group(t=-6.297,-7.001,both P=0.001).Patients with NPSLE exhibited significantly decreased VMHC values in bilateral parahippocampal gyri,precentral gyri,middle frontal gyri,and medial/paracingulate gyri compared with those in control group(family-wise error corrected,voxel-level P<0.001,cluster-level P<0.05).In the NPSLE group,VMHC values in precentral gyri showed positive correlation with IgA levels(r=0.351,P=0.039),while VMHC values in medial/paracingulate gyri positively correlated with IgA(r=0.345,P=0.043)and negatively with C4(r=-0.368,P=0.030).Conclusion Patients with NPSLE demonstrate abnormal interhemispheric homotopic functional connectivity,and the correlation between imaging metrics and clinical data in differential brain regions may facilitate early diagnosis of NPSLE while providing novel insights into the neuropathological mechanisms of cerebral injury.
