In the process of maintaining the steady state of bone tissue, the transcription network and signal pathway of the body play a vital role. These complex regulatory mechanisms need precise coordination to ensure the balance between bone formation and bone absorption. Once this balance is broken, it may lead to pathological changes of bone and cartilage, and then lead to various bone diseases. Therefore, it is of great significance to understand these regulatory mechanisms for the prevention and treatment of bone diseases. In recent years, with the deepening of research, more and more lncRNA has been found to be closely related to bone health. Among them, nuclear paraspeckle assembly transcript 1 (NEAT1), as an extremely abundant RNA molecule in mammalian nuclei, has attracted extensive attention. NEAT1 is mainly transcribed from a specific site in human chromosome 11 by RNA polymerase II (RNaseP), which can form two different subtypes NEAT1_1 and NEAT1_2. These two subtypes are different in intracellular distribution and function, but they participate in many biological processes together. Studies have shown that NEAT1 plays a specific role in the process of cell growth and stress response. For example, it can regulate the development of osteoblasts (OB), osteoclasts (OC) and chondrocytes by balancing the differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs), thus maintaining the steady state of bone metabolism. This discovery reveals the important role of NEAT1 in bone development and remodeling. In addition, NEAT1 is closely related to a variety of bone diseases. In patients with bone diseases such as osteoporosis (OP), osteoarthritis (OA) and osteosarcoma (OS), the expression level of NEAT1 is different. These differential expressions may be closely related to the pathogenesis and progression of bone diseases. By regulating the level of NEAT1, it can affect a variety of signal transduction pathways, and then affect the development of bone diseases. For example, some studies show that by regulating the expression level of NEAT1, the activity of osteoclasts can be inhibited, and the proliferation and differentiation of osteoblasts can be promoted, thus improving the symptoms of osteoporosis. It is worth noting that NEAT1 can also be used as a key sensor for the prevention and treatment of bone diseases. When exercising or receiving some natural products, the expression level of NEAT1 will change, thus reflecting the response of bones to external stimuli. This feature makes NEAT1 an important target for studying the prevention and treatment strategies of bone diseases. However, although the role of NEAT1 in bone biology and bone diseases has been initially recognized, its specific mechanism and regulatory relationship are still controversial. For example, the expression level, mode of action and interaction with other molecules of NEAT1 in different bone diseases still need further in-depth study. This paper reviews the role of NEAT1 in maintaining bone and cartilage metabolism, and discusses its expression and function in various bone diseases. By combing the existing research results and controversial points, this paper aims to provide new perspectives and ideas for the prevention and treatment of bone diseases, and provide useful reference and enlightenment for future research.

Membrane proteins are integral components of cellular membranes, accounting for approximately 30% of the mammalian proteome and serving as targets for 60% of FDA-approved drugs. They are critical to both physiological functions and disease mechanisms. Their functional protein-protein interactions form the basis for many physiological processes, such as signal transduction, material transport, and cell communication. Membrane protein interactions are characterized by membrane environment dependence, spatial asymmetry, weak interaction strength, high dynamics, and a variety of interaction sites. Therefore, in situ analysis is essential for revealing the structural basis and kinetics of these proteins. This paper introduces currently available in situ analytical techniques for studying membrane protein interactions and evaluates the characteristics of each. These techniques are divided into two categories: label-based techniques (e.g., co-immunoprecipitation, proximity ligation assay, bimolecular fluorescence complementation, resonance energy transfer, and proximity labeling) and label-free techniques (e.g., cryo-electron tomography, in situ cross-linking mass spectrometry, Raman spectroscopy, electron paramagnetic resonance, nuclear magnetic resonance, and structure prediction tools). Each technique is critically assessed in terms of its historical development, strengths, and limitations. Based on the authors’ relevant research, the paper further discusses the key issues and trends in the application of these techniques, providing valuable references for the field of membrane protein research. Label-based techniques rely on molecular tags or antibodies to detect proximity or interactions, offering high specificity and adaptability for dynamic studies. For instance, proximity ligation assay combines the specificity of antibodies with the sensitivity of PCR amplification, while proximity labeling enables spatial mapping of interactomes. Conversely, label-free techniques, such as cryo-electron tomography, provide near-native structural insights, and Raman spectroscopy directly probes molecular interactions without perturbing the membrane environment. Despite advancements, these methods face several universal challenges: (1) indirect detection, relying on proximity or tagged proxies rather than direct interaction measurement; (2) limited capacity for continuous dynamic monitoring in live cells; and (3) potential artificial influences introduced by labeling or sample preparation, which may alter native conformations. Emerging trends emphasize the multimodal integration of complementary techniques to overcome individual limitations. For example, combining in situ cross-linking mass spectrometry with proximity labeling enhances both spatial resolution and interaction coverage, enabling high-throughput subcellular interactome mapping. Similarly, coupling fluorescence resonance energy transfer with nuclear magnetic resonance and artificial intelligence (AI) simulations integrates dynamic structural data, atomic-level details, and predictive modeling for holistic insights. Advances in AI, exemplified by AlphaFold’s ability to predict interaction interfaces, further augment experimental data, accelerating structure-function analyses. Future developments in cryo-electron microscopy, super-resolution imaging, and machine learning are poised to refine spatiotemporal resolution and scalability. In conclusion, in situ analysis of membrane protein interactions remains indispensable for deciphering their roles in health and disease. While current technologies have significantly advanced our understanding, persistent gaps highlight the need for innovative, integrative approaches. By synergizing experimental and computational tools, researchers can achieve multiscale, real-time, and perturbation-free analyses, ultimately unraveling the dynamic complexity of membrane protein networks and driving therapeutic discovery.

Objective To establish an ideal modeling method for diarrhea predominant irritable bowel syndrome(IBS-D)with anxiely and depression in rats,and to provide a basis for the clinical study of IBS-D.Methods 60 rats were used in this study.(1)At first,20 rats were randomly divided into blank,3%acetic acid enema,4%acetic acid enema,and 5%acetic acid enema groups.After the modeling and observation period,the diarrhea status and the degree of colon injury caused by different modeling concentrations were observed by diarrhea related index and colon histopathology.(2)After the optimal modeling concentration was assessed,40 rats were randomly divided into control(a),acetic acid enema(b),acetic acid+binding(c),and acetic acid+binding+tail clip(d)groups and correspondingly treated for 8 days.After the treatments,the general condition,diarrhea-related index,open field test(OFT)score,and colonic histopathology of rats were evaluated.Results(1)Compared with the blank group,the fecal trait score of 4%acetic acid enema group was increased on days 1 to 3 after intervention(P＜0.001),and gradually decreased on days 4 to 7 after intervention.After 1 week,there was no significant difference between the fecal trait score and that of the blank group(P＞0.05).Body weight was lower(P＜0.01),fecal water content was higher(P＜0.001).Compared with blank group,body weight of the 5%acetic acid enema group was decreased(P＜0.001),the fecal trait score and diarrhea index were increased(P＜0.01).No significant difference was found between 3%acetic acid enema and blank groups.The pathological colon tissue showed that,compared with the blank group,the mucosal structure of the 4%acetic acid enema group was complete with a small amount of inflammatory cell infiltration,and the pathological tissue score showed no significant difference(P＞0.05),whereas the 5%acetic acid enema had a medium to large amount of inflammatory cell infiltration,and the pathological tissue score was increased(P＜0.01).(2)Compared with group a,group b had lower body weight(P＜0.001),and higher fecal trait score,fecal water content and diarrhea index(P＜0.01).Compared with a and b groups,the body weight of c and d groups was lower(P＜0.001),the fecal traits score,fecal water content,and diarrhea index were increased(P＜0.01),and the colon running time was decreased(P＜0.01).Compared with group c,Fecal water content in group D was higher(P＜0.001).In the OFT score,compared with a and b groups,the OFT distance,standing times,and upright times in c and d groups were lower(P＜0.05).Compared with c,the OFT distance,standing times,and upright times in d group were lower(P＜0.05).The pathological tissue of colon showed that the mucosal structure of the four groups was complete,and there were different degrees of inflammatory cell infiltration.The pathological tissue scores of groups c and d were higher than those of groups a and b(P＜0.05).Conclusions The 4%acetic acid concentration is appropriate for IBS-D modeling.After superposition and binding,the IBS-D diarrhea and internal hypersensitivity characteristic state can be better simulated.After superposition of a tail clip,the IBS-D model of liver stagnation and spleen deficiency can be established successfully.

Objective:To observe the clinical efficacy and action mechanism of Jujing Decoction(JJD)in the treatment of as-thenoteratozoospermia(ATZ)by comparing JJD with combined administration of the antioxidant stress drug and sperm energy metabo-lism agent.Methods:According to the inclusion criteria,we enrolled 67 male patients with ATZ in this randomized controlled clini-cal study and treated them by oral administration of JJD(the JJD group,n=34)or natural vitamin E combined with L-carnitine solu-tion(the positive control group,n=33),both for 12 weeks.We collected the semen parameters,sperm DNA fragmentation index(DFI),sperm mitochondrial membrane potential(MMP),seminal plasma reactive oxygen species(ROS)and superoxide dismutase(SOD)levels from the patients,observed the ultrastructure of sperm mitochondria under the transmission electron microscope(TEM)before and after treatment,and analyzed the clinical efficacy and action mechanism of JJD by comparing the data obtained between the two groups.Results:Treatment and follow-up were completed in 60 of the cases,30 in the JJD and 30 in the positive control group.The total rate of clinical effectiveness was significantly higher in the JJD than in the positive control group(76.8％vs 43.3％,P＜0.05).Compared with the baseline,the percentages of progressively motile sperm(PMS)and morphologically normal sperm(MNS),DFI and MMP were significantly improved(P＜0.05),the level of seminal plasma ROS decreased(P＞0.05),and that of SOD re-markably increased(P＜0.05)after treatment with JJD;PMS,MNS,DFI and MMP were also improved(P＞0.05),seminal plas-ma ROS decreased(P＞0.05)and SOD increased(P＜0.05)in the positive controls after medication.In comparison with the posi-tive controls,the patients treated with JJD showed even more significant improvement in PMS([29.37±14.56]％vs[42.68±15.86]％,P＜0.05),MNS([1.84±1.32]％vs[3.66±1.72％]％,P＜0.05),DFI([32.66±5.23]％vs[16.61±4.20]％,P＜0.05)and MMP([46.47±9.48]％vs[61.79±8.61]％,P＜0.05),ROS([7.08±0.51]vs[5.06±0.52]μmol/L,P＞0.05),and SOD([100.65±10.59]vs[139.05±14.71]U/ml,P＜0.05).TEM revealed significantly improved ultrastructure of sperm mitochondria after treatment with JJD.No serious adverse reactions were observed in either group dur-ing follow-up.Conclusion:JJD,superior to natural vitamin E and L-carnitine oral solution,can safely and effectively increase the percentages of PMS and MNS,MMP and the level of seminal plasma SOD,reduce sperm DFI and seminal plasma ROS,and improve the ultrastructure of sperm mitochondria in patients with ATZ.The underlying mechanism of action may be related to its ability of im-proving the structure and function of sperm mitochondria via antioxidant stress.

Objective:To explore the assessment value of liver enzyme changes before and after hepatectomy on the prognosis of patients with primary hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC). Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 421 patients with primary HCC who received at the First and Second Affiliated Hospitals of Xi'an Jiaotong University from January 2016 to December 2020.The univariate and multivariate COX regression analyses were used to screen the risk factors affecting the prognosis of patients with primary HCC,and the optimal cut-off value was selected to group the most valuable indicators among them,further analyzing the different factors among subgroups.The Kaplan-Meier method was used to assess the prognosis of the subgroups,and the survival curves were plotted and statistically tested. Results:Multivariate COX regression analysis revealed that Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer(BCLC)stage,tumor number,alpha-fetoprotein(AFP),the quantitative change of γ-glutamyl transpeptidase(GGT)and total bilirubin(TBIL)before and after surgery were independent risk factors affecting the prognosis of patients with primary HCC(P＜0.01),and there were differences in hepatitis B virus surface antigen(HBsAg),TNM stage,BCLC stage,tumor size,tumor number,tumor differentiation degree,AFP,surgery type,intraoperative bleeding volume,postoperative albumin-bilirubin(ALBI)and white blood cell count between the high and low GGT variation groups(P＜0.05).Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that the prognosis of patients with primary HCC between the high and low GGT variation groups was significantly different,with a hazard ratio of 2.603 for mortality and 1.449 for recurrence(both P＜0.01). Conclusion:The quantitative change of GGT before and after hepatectomy has an evaluation value for the prognosis of patients with primary HCC,and the quantitative change of GGT greater than 29.5 is an independent risk factor for the prognosis of patients with primary HCC.

Objective:To retrospectively study the curative effect of Vbeam 595nm pulsed dye laser(PDL)in treating the mid-term infantile hemangiomas(IHs),and analyze and explore the possible influencing factors of that.Methods:A total of 219 IHs patients who underwent PDL treatment in Tangshan Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital from January 2020 to December 2022 were selected,and they received follow-up at least 6 months.The relationship between the treatment effect and the month age,location,thickness of hemangioma and the number of treatments was analyzed.Results:The median month age of the 219 pediatric children was 7 months,and the average month age of them was(4-10)months,and there was a total of 219 lesions.There were no statistically significant differences in the general data such as month age and the characteristics of lesion between different genders(P＞0.05).The overall effective rate of treatment was 92.7%,and the median number of treatments was 3 times,and the average number of treatments was(2-4)times.There were no statistically significant differences in the comparisons of gender,the number of treatments and the treatment outcome(P＞0.05).The curative effects of 6 pediatric children were poor,whose month age was 13(8,19)months.The curative effects of 10 pediatric children were general,whose month age was 13(8,14)months.The curative effects of 31 pediatric children were favorable,whose month age was 8(4,10)months.The curative effects of 172 pediatric children were excellent,whose month age was 6(4,9)months.The difference of month age of pediatric children among different curative effect was significant(Z=24.863,P＜0.001),and the pediatric children with better curative effect had smaller month age.The treatment outcome of pediatric children with hemangioma was correlated with the thickness of lesion,the area size of lesion and the number of treatment(r=-0.32,-0.46,-0.46,P＜0.05),respectively.The effective treatment mainly focused on the treatments of the 2nd-4th times.The adverse reaction caused by treatment was skin erythema,and the rate of the total residual after six months of the complication was 5.48%.Conclusion:The treatment of 595nm PDL combined with dynamic cooling device(DCD)can provide a safe and effective treatment for IHs.Early intervention for IHs can improve the curative effect,and reduce the course of treatment,and further reduce the possibility of corresponding complications.

Aim To explore the effects of Lycium berry seed oil on Nrf2/ARE pathway and oxidative damage in testis of subacute aging rats. Methods Fifty out of 60 male SD rats, aged 8 weeks, were subcutaneously injected with 125 mg • kg"D-galactosidase in the neck for 8 weeks to establish a subacute senescent rat model. The presence of senescent cells was observed using P-galactosidase ((3-gal), while testicular morphology was examined using HE staining. Serum levels of testosterone (testosterone, T), follicle-stimulating hormone ( follicle stimulating hormone, FSH ) , luteinizing hormone ( luteinizing hormone, LH ) , superoxide dis-mutase ( superoxide dismutase, SOD ) , glutathione ( glutathione, GSH) and malondialdehyde ( malondial-dehyde, MDA) were measured through ELISA, and the expressions of factors related to aging, oxidative damage, and the Nrf2/ARE pathway were assessed via immunohistochemical analysis and Western blotting. Results After successfully identifying the model, the morphology of the testis was improved and the intervention of Lycium seed oil led to a down-regulation in the expression of [3-gal and -yH2AX. The serum levels of SOD, GSH, T, and FSH increased while MDA and LH decreased (P 0. 05) . Additionally, there was an up-regulated expression of Nrf2, GCLC, NQOl, and SOD2 proteins in testicular tissue ( P 0. 05 ) and nuclear expression of Nrf2 in sertoli cells. Conclusion Lycium barbarum seed oil may reduce oxidative damage in testes of subacute senescent rats by activating the Nrf2/ARE signaling pathway.

ObjectiveTo investigate the mechanism of astragaloside-Ⅳ （AS-Ⅳ） in regulating pyroptosis to alleviate intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury （IRI） by combining network pharmacology and in vivo experiments. MethodFirstly， the corresponding target genes of AS-Ⅳ were obtained from TraditionalChineseMedicineSystemsPharmacology（TCMSP） database and Swiss Target Prediction database， and the target genes related to intestinal IRI and Pyroptosis were obtained from GeneCards database， and the common target genes of the three were obtained by drawing Venn diagrams through unspiralized website. Protein-protein interaction （PPI） network was constructed by STRING database and Cytoscape software to screen common target genes and imported into Cytoscape software to obtain core target genes. Microbiotics platform was used for gene ontology（GO） and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes（KEGG） enrichment analysis and prediction of the mechanism of action of AS-Ⅳ in regulating Pyroptosis to alleviate intestinal IRI. Then C57/BL6J mice were randomly divided into 5 groups normal group， model group（IR）， drug administration group （IR+AS-Ⅳ）， nucleotide-binding oligomerization structural domain-like receptor protein 3 （NLRP3） agonist NSS group （IR+AS-Ⅳ+NSS）， and NLRP3 inhibitor MCC950 group （IR+AS-Ⅳ+MCC950） by using a randomized numerical table method. The intestinal IRI model was established by clamping the superior mesenteric artery for 45 min and resuming perfusion for 2 h in the model group， the drug administration group， the NLRP3 agonist NSS group， and the NLRP3 inhibitor MCC950 group， and the normal group was only separated from the vessels without clamping. The administration group， the NLRP3 agonist NSS group， and the NLRP3 inhibitor MCC950 group were gavaged with astragaloside dissolved in 0.1% dimethylsulfoxide （50 mg·kg^-1） for 3 consecutive days before modeling， with the last gavage 2 h before modeling， and the remaining two groups were gavaged with equal amounts of saline. The NLRP3 agonist NSS group was injected intraperitoneally with 4 mg·kg^-1 of NSS 1 h before modeling， and the NLRP3 inhibitor MCC950 group was injected intraperitoneally with 10 mg·kg^-1 of MCC950 1 h before modeling.The mice were put to death by reperfusion for 2 h， and intestinal tissues were obtained. The levels of IL-18 and IL-1β were detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay（ELISA）， and the protein expression of thioredoxin-binding protein （TXNIP）， NLRP3， Caspase-1 and pyrocatechin D （GSDMD） were detected by Western blot， and the pathological changes of intestinal tissues were evaluated by Chiu's score. ResultNetwork pharmacological analysis showed that there were 1599 targets of intestinal IRI， 199 targets of AS-Ⅳ action， 197 targets of pyroptosis， and 20 targets common to all three. There were 10 core targets， including NLRP3， TXNIP， silencing information regulator 1 （SIRT1）， high mobility group protein 1 （HMGB1）， interleukin-18 （IL-18）， GSDMD， and metallo matrix protease-9 （MMP-9），et al. The results of in vivo experiments showed that compared with the normal group， Chiu's score was elevated in the model group， the levels of IL-18，IL-1β inflammatory factors in mouse intestinal tissues were elevated （P<0.05）， and the protein expression levels of TXNIP， NLRP3， Caspase-1， and GSDMD were elevated （P<0.05）. Compared with the model group，Chiu's score was decreased in the administered group and NLRP3 inhibitor MCC950 group，the level of IL-18，IL-1β inflammatory factors in the intestinal tissue of mice was decreased（P<0.05）， and the level of TXNIP，NLRP3，Caspase-1，GSDMD protein expression was decreased（P<0.05）. Compared with the administered group， Chiu's score was elevated in the NLRP3 agonist NSS group， the levels of IL-18， IL-1β inflammatory factors in mouse intestinal tissues were elevated （P<0.05）， and the protein expression levels of NLRP3， Caspase-1， and GSDMD were elevated （P<0.05）. Compared with the NLRP3 inhibitor MCC950 group， the NLRP3 agonist NSS group had elevated Chiu's scores， elevated levels of IL-18，IL-1β inflammatory factors in mouse intestinal tissues （P<0.05）， and elevated levels of TXNIP，NLRP3， Caspase-1， and GSDMD protein expression （P<0.05）. ConclusionNetwork pharmacological predictions were consistent with the results of in vivo experiments， and astragaloside attenuated intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury by inhibiting cellular pyroptosis through the TXNIP-NLRP3 signaling pathway.

BACKGROUND:In recent years,with the development of biological scaffold materials and bioprinting technology,tissue-engineered bone has become a research hotspot in bone defect repair. OBJECTIVE:To summarize the current treatment methods for bone defects,summarize the biomaterials and bioprinting technology for preparing tissue-engineered bone scaffolds,and explore the application of biomaterials and printing technology in tissue engineering and the current challenges. METHODS:Search terms were"bone defect,tissue engineering,biomaterials,3D printing technology,4D printing technology,bioprinting,biological scaffold,bone repair"in Chinese and English.Relevant documents published from January 1,2009 to December 1,2022 were retrieved on CNKI,PubMed and Web of Science databases.After being screened by the first author,high-quality references were added.A total of 93 articles were included for review. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The main treatment methods for bone defects include bone transplantation,membrane-guided regeneration,gene therapy,bone tissue engineering,etc.The best treatment method is still uncertain.Bone tissue engineering technology is a new technology for the treatment of bone defects.It has become the focus of current research by constructing three-dimensional structures that can promote the proliferation and differentiation of osteoblasts and enhance the ability of bone formation.Biological scaffold materials are diverse,with their characteristics,advantages and disadvantages.A single biological material cannot meet the demand for tissue-engineered bone for the scaffold.Usually,multiple materials are combined to complement each other,which is to meet the demand for mechanical properties while taking into account the biological properties of the scaffold.Bioprinting technology can adjust the pore of the scaffold,build a complex spatial structure,and is more conducive to cell adhesion,proliferation and differentiation.The emerging 4D printing technology introduces"time"as the fourth dimension to make the prepared scaffold dynamic.With the synchronous development of smart materials,4D printing technology provides the possibility of efficient repair of bone defects in the future.
