Osteoporosis is a common bone metabolic disease， which is mainly characterized by the decrease in the number of bone trabeculae and the destruction of bone tissue microstructure， leading to increased bone fragility and fracture risks. This disease is common in postmenopausal women， elderly men， diabetes patients， and obese people. Due to the lack of awareness to prevent bone losses and the limitations of bone mass measurement methods， osteoporosis is only concerned when there are serious complications， which imposes a heavy burden on both patients and medical resources. Oxidative stress refers to the excessive production of highly active molecules such as reactive oxygen species and reactive nitrogen in the body subjected to harmful stimuli， leading to the imbalance between the oxidative and antioxidant systems and causing oxidative damage. Studies have shown that oxidative stress can increase the generation and activity of osteoclasts and inhibit the differentiation of osteoblasts， thus playing a role in the occurrence and development of osteoporosis. Traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） is considered an effective antioxidant that can alleviate oxidative stress-induced osteoporosis by regulating a variety of signaling pathways. Studies have shown that TCM can alleviate oxidative stress and promote bone angiogenesis and osteogenesis by regulating the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase （PI3K）/protein kinase B （Akt）， nuclear factor-kappa B， and nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor （Nrf2） signaling pathways. TCM alleviates oxidative stress and promotes osteogenesis by regulating the Nrf2， PI3K/Akt/mammalian target of rapamycin， and secreted glycoprotein Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathways. In addition， TCM regulates NF-κB， mitogen-activated protein kinase， and receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B （RANK）/RANK ligand/osteoprotegerin signaling pathway to alleviate excessive bone resorption induced by oxidative stress. This paper systematically summarizes the literature on the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis by TCM or its active ingredients via the above-mentioned signaling pathways to reduce oxidative stress in recent years. It briefs the possible molecular mechanisms of oxidative stress regulation-related signaling pathways to cause osteoporosis. In addition， this paper discusses the effects and mechanisms of TCM on bone angiogenesis， osteogenesis， and bone resorption by reducing oxidative stress through the regulation of related signaling pathways， aiming to provide a theoretical basis for the research and clinical treatment of osteoporosis.

Acquired immune deficiency syndrome is an infectious disease with high mortality caused by human immunodefi-ciency virus(HIV).Even after antiretroviral therapy,the virus reservoir formed by the provirus integrated in the host genome can evade host immune surveillance and clearance.The existing methods of HIV reservoir detection mainly include cell culture induced virus growth assay in vitro and direct detection of the provirus genome based on PCR technology.Understanding and measuring accurately of HIV reservoir can provide reliable technical basis for HIV treatment research.This article summarizes and analyzes various detection methods of HIV reservoirs in recent years and their advantages and disadvantages,in order to select the suitable method for different detection objects of HIV reservior,and give appropriate suggestions,to provide technical support and theoretical guidance for further research on acquired immune deficiency syndrome.

Objectives:To compare the diagnostic efficacy of non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) and the predictive value for major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) of the 0/3-hour algorithm for high-sensitivity cardiac troponin (hs-cTn) recommended by the 2015 European Society of Cardiology (ESC) guidelines for the management of non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS) and the 2021 "Chinese Expert Consensus on Laboratory Testing and Clinical Application of Cardiac Troponin" in suspected acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients in the Chinese population. Methods:This is a multicenter prospective observational study,including 1527 patients with suspected ACS from three clinical centers from January 2017 to September 2020.Plasma hs-cTnI levels were measured using the ARCHITECT assay at the time of presentation and 3 hours later in patients with suspected ACS (test determination).Clinical judgment (independent clinical judgment by cardiac experts,independent of the test results) was used as the gold standard to compare the sensitivity,specificity,and consistency of the two diagnostic algorithms,and to analyze their predictive value for MACE at 30 days and 180 days.MACE in this study was defined as a composite event of cardiovascular death,myocardial infarction,and unplanned coronary revascularization. Results:According to clinical judgment,there were 400 patients with NSTEMI and 1127 patients without NSTEMI.The 0/3-hour algorithm recommended by the 2021 Chinese Expert Consensus showed higher sensitivity in diagnosing NSTEMI than the 2015 ESC guidelines (91.50％[95％ CI:88.32％-94.04％]vs.87.75％[95％ CI:84.13％-90.80％]),but slightly lower specificity (93.88％[95％ CI:92.32％-95.21％]vs.95.56％[95％ CI:94.19％-96.69％]),with both differences being statistically significant (both P<0.001).In the follow-up at 30 days and 180 days,the incidence of MACE in patients diagnosed with NSTEMI by both algorithms was higher than in those without NSTEMI (P<0.001).The incidence of MACE at 30 days and 180 days for the group excluded from the diagnosis of NSTEMI by 2015 ESC guidelines was 0.19％ and 1.120％,respectively,and for the NSTEMI group was 2.89％ and 3.68％,respectively;for the group excluded from NSTEMI by the 2021 Chinese Expert Consensus,the incidence was 0.096％ and 0.770％,respectively,and for the NSTEMI group was 2.91％ and 4.36％,respectively.Cox analysis showed that the HR ratio for MACE at 180 days in the NSTEMI group diagnosed by both algorithms was 3.418 and 5.892,respectively,significantly higher than the group excluded from NSTEMI. Conclusions:The 0/3-hour algorithm recommended by the 2021 Chinese Expert Consensus has superior diagnostic sensitivity compared to the 2015 ESC NSTE-ACS guidelines,at the cost of slightly lower specificity.Both algorithms can effectively predict MACE within 180 days,but based on the data from this study,the algorithm recommended by the 2021 Chinese Expert Consensus is more sensitive in predicting the risk of MACE,and patients excluded from the diagnosis of NSTEMI by this method have a lower incidence of MACE,suggesting that its application in clinical practice may be more helpful in terms of long-term safe management of patients.

ObjectiveTo compare the effects of different doses and withdrawal time of 4-vinylcyclohexene diepoxide （VCD） on the reproductive endocrine levels of female rats， and to explore the effective， stable， and safe dosage of VCD for constructing a premature ovarian insufficiency （POI） rat model. MethodSD rats with regular estrous cycles were randomly divided into three groups： blank group， low-dose VCD group （80 mg·kg^-1·d^-1）， and high-dose VCD group （160 mg·kg^-1·d^-1）， with 24 rats in each group. After drug intervention， samples were collected on the 15th day （D15） and the 45th day （D45） after intervention. The general condition， rate of estrous cycle disturbance， serum hormone levels， ovarian histomorphology， follicle count， pregnancy outcome， and the protein and mRNA expression of transforming growth factor （TGF）-β and Smad2/3 were assessed. ResultCompared with the blank group， the low-dose VCD group showed no significant differences in the rate of estrous cycle disturbance or serum follicle-stimulating hormone （FSH）， luteinizing hormone （LH）， and estradiol （E₂） levels. Ovarian tissue was damaged. Specifically， the number of primordial and primary follicles decreased on D15 （P<0.01）， and the number of secondary follicles （P<0.01） and antral follicles （P<0.05） further decreased on D45. The litter number decreased on D15 （P<0.05）， but there was no significant difference on D45. Furthermore， TGF-β protein levels increased on D15 （P<0.05） and D45 （P<0.01）. The Smad2/3 levels increased on D45 （P<0.01）， and TGF-β and Smad2/3 mRNA levels increased on D45 （P<0.05）. Compared with the results in the blank group， the disturbance rate of the estrous cycle increased on D45 in the high-dose VCD group （P<0.01）. The serum of FSH and LH increased （P<0.01）， while E₂ decreased （P<0.05）. Ovarian tissue was damaged， and the downward trend of follicles at all levels was similar to that in the low-dose VCD group. The litter number significantly decreased on D15 and D45. TGF-β and Smad2/3 protein levels increased （P<0.05，P<0.01）， and TGF-β mRNA increased on D45 （P<0.05）. ConclusionHigh-dose VCD is an ideal method for constructing a POI rat model， being effective， stable， and safe.

Modulating Tankyrases (TNKS), interactions with USP25 to promote TNKS degradation, rather than inhibiting their enzymatic activities, is emerging as an alternative/specific approach to inhibit the Wnt/β-catenin pathway. Here, we identified UAT-B, a novel neoantimycin analog isolated from Streptomyces conglobatus, as a small-molecule inhibitor of TNKS-USP25 protein-protein interaction (PPI) to overcome multi-drug resistance in colorectal cancer (CRC). The disruption of TNKS-USP25 complex formation by UAT-B led to a significant decrease in TNKS levels, triggering cell apoptosis through modulation of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway. Importantly, UAT-B successfully inhibited the CRC cells growth that harbored high TNKS levels, as demonstrated in various in vitro and in vivo studies utilizing cell line-based and patient-derived xenografts, as well as APC^min/+ spontaneous CRC models. Collectively, these findings suggest that targeting the TNKS-USP25 PPI using a small-molecule inhibitor represents a compelling therapeutic strategy for CRC treatment, and UAT-B emerges as a promising candidate for further preclinical and clinical investigations.

By consulting the ancient and modern literature， the name， origin， quality evaluation， harvesting and processing methods of Curculiginis Rhizoma（CR） were systematically combed and verified， in order to provide a basis for the development and utilization of famous classical formulas containing CR. The results of herbal textual research showed that the name Xianmao was first recorded in Leigong Paozhilun， the name of CR was used in all dynasties and this name came from its efficacy and morphological characteristics， the mainstream source for CR of the past dynasties was the rhizome of Curculigo orchioides or C. capitulata， since modern times， C. orchioides has been the main source of commodities. In ancient times， most of the places of origin of the description were the western regions and southwest China， while in modern times， Sichuan and Guizhou were regarded as genuine places. Since modern times， its quality has been summarized as the best with thick roots， firm texture and black-brown surface， the harvesting and processing methods recorded in the past dynasties are mainly sun drying after harvest in the second， eighth and ninth months of the lunar calendar， and most of them are harvested in autumn and winter in modern times. In ancient times， there were many processing methods of CR， mainly in processing with rice swill， while in modern times， stir-frying with wine was the main processing method. The nature， taste， meridian tropism， functions and indications of CR are basically consistent from ancient to modern times， the taboos for taking are to avoid iron， cow's milk， and beef. Although there are some differences in the understanding of the toxicity of CR in the past dynasties， most of the materia medica are clear that it has a certain toxicity. Based on the research conclusion， it is suggested that the rhizome of C. orchioides of Lycoris family should be used as its source in the famous classical formulas， and the corresponding processing method should be selected according to the processing requirements in the formulas， while the raw products is recommended to be selected as medicine if the processing requirement is not specified.

Background Working night shifts is common in the secondary industry workers, and usually with long weekly working hours. They are prone to occupational stress and sleep disorders, which may seriously affect their physical and mental health and work efficiency. Objective To investigate the current situation and influencing factors of occupational stress and sleep disorders among three key occupational groups in Guizhou Province, and provide a basis for formulating intervention measures. Methods A stratified random cluster sampling method was used to select 11552 workers as the research subjects from three occupational groups in Guizhou Province. A survey on occupational stress and sleep disorders was conducted using the National Key Population Occupational Health Literacy Monitoring Survey Personal Questionnaire. Results A total of 9956 valid questionnaires were recovered (86.18%). The positive rates of occupational stress and sleep disorders among the three key occupational groups in Guizhou Province were 22.6% and 40.6%, respectively. No differences were found among those by individual characteristics (P>0.05). There was a statistically significant difference in reporting sleep disorders among the occupational groups by industry (P<0.05), with the highest rate observed in the production and supply industries of electricity, heat, gas, and water (47.9%). The results of logistic regression analysis showed that company size, weekly working hours, sleep disorders, length of service, night shift, monthly income, and gender were all independent influencing factors of occupational stress in the target population (P <0.05); occupational stress, weekly working hours, marital status, industry, educational level, night shift, household type, monthly income, and age were all independent influencing factors for sleep disorders in the target population (P <0.05). Conclusion The positive rates of occupational stress and sleep disorders are high among the three key occupational groups in Guizhou Province, with sleep disorders particularly prominent in the production and supply industries of electricity, heat, gas, and water. Special attention should be paid to sleep disorders in individuals of the industry of the production and supply industries of electricity, heat, gas, and water, under 40 years old, widowed or divorced, with low education, low income, working night shifts, long weekly working hours, and experiencing occupational stress.
