Osteoporosis is a common senile bone metabolism disease, clinically characterized by decreased bone mass, destruction of bone microstructure, increased bone fragility, and easy fracture. It tends to occur in the elderly and postmenopausal women, seriously threatening the quality of life and physical and mental health of the elderly. At present, the treatment of osteoporosis is mainly based on oral western medicines, such as calcium, Vitamin D, and bisphosphonates. Still, there are drawbacks such as a long medication cycle and many adverse reactions. In recent years, due to the advantages of multi-component, multi-pathway, and multi-target, some traditional Chinese medicines and effective ingredients can regulate the osteogenic and osteoclastic differentiation process in both directions and are widely used in the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis. Hippophae rhamnoides is a commonly used herbal medicine, and its fruits are rich in flavonoids, polyphenols, fatty acids, vitamins, and trace elements, which have been proven to have a good anti-osteoporosis effect. Isorhamnetin is the main effective ingredient of Hippophae rhamnoides fruits, which has many pharmacological effects such as anti-inflammation, anti-oxidative stress, anti-aging, and anti-tumor. Studies have shown that isorhamnetin can participate in the regulation of bone metabolism and has a good anti-osteoporosis effect. However, the pharmacological effects and related mechanisms of isorhamnetin against osteoporosis have not been systematically summarized. Therefore, this paper reviewed the pharmacological effects and related mechanisms of isorhamnetin against osteoporosis by referring to relevant literature to provide more basis for the development and application of isorhamnetin.

Accurate prediction of drug responses in cancer cell lines(CCLs)and transferable prediction of clinical drug responses using CCLs are two major tasks in personalized medicine.Despite the rapid advancements in existing computational methods for preclinical and clinical cancer drug response(CDR)prediction,chal-lenges remain regarding the generalization of new drugs that are unseen in the training set.Herein,we propose a multimodal fusion deep learning(DL)model called drug-target and single-cell language based CDR(DTLCDR)to predict preclinical and clinical CDRs.The model integrates chemical descriptors,mo-lecular graph representations,predicted protein target profiles of drugs,and cell line expression profiles with general knowledge from single cells.Among these features,a well-trained drug-target interaction(DTI)prediction model is used to generate target profiles of drugs,and a pretrained single-cell language model is integrated to provide general genomic knowledge.Comparison experiments on the cell line drug sensitivity dataset demonstrated that DTLCDR exhibited improved generalizability and robustness in predicting unseen drugs compared with previous state-of-the-art baseline methods.Further ablation studies verified the effectiveness of each component of our model,highlighting the significant contribution of target information to generalizability.Subsequently,the ability of DTLCDR to predict novel molecules was validated through in vitro cell experiments,demonstrating its potential for real-world applications.Moreover,DTLCDR was transferred to the clinical datasets,demonstrating satisfactory performance in the clinical data,regardless of whether the drugs were included in the cell line dataset.Overall,our results suggest that the DTLCDR is a promising tool for personalized drug discovery.

Objective:To investigate the drug resistance gene characteristics, plasmid characteristics and genome tracing of Shigella sonnei causing a bacillary dysentery outbreak in Shandong Province. Methods:Sixty-five Shigella sonnei strains isolated from a 2021 outbreak in a county of Shandong Province were analyzed using antimicrobial susceptibility testing, whole genome sequencing (WGS), characterization of resistance and virulence genes, plasmid profiling, core genome multilocus sequence typing (cgMLST), and single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) analysis. Results:All isolates had the same resistance phenotype and genotypes and were multidrug-resistant ESBL-producing Shigella sonnei, carrying important virulence genes. Plasmid analysis revealed a conserved genetic arrangement, pil( M/ N/ O2/ P)-tra( F/ H/ J/ K/ N/ O/ P/ Q)-IS Ecp1- blaCTX-M-14-Tn 903- yub( J/ I/ F/ G/ E/ D), and shared across strains from diverse regions and bacterial species. The cgMLST and SNP analyses demonstrated concordant clustering, with all 65 outbreak-related strains forming a single cluster alongside human-derived strains from Guangxi. Conclusion:The ESBL-producing Shigella sonnei responsible for the outbreak shares a homologous relationship with Guangxi human-derived strains, and the detected resistance plasmids and virulence genes underscore the need to strengthen drug resistance surveillance and genome tracing.

Objective:To observe the effect of isokinetic sensorimotor training on the hand function of stroke survivors.Methods:Forty-two stroke survivors with hand dysfunction were randomly divided into an isokinetic group of 22 and a control group of 20. Both groups were given sensorimotor training in addition to routine drug treatment and rehabilitation therapy, but the isokinetic group was additionally provided with sensorimotor training based on isokinetic techniques for 45 minutes daily, 5 days a week for 4 consecutive weeks. Before and after the intervention, both groups were evaluated using the Semmes-Weinstein monofilament examination (SWME), their two-point discrimination (2-PD) was documented, proprioception of their wrist joints was quantified, and the Fugl-Meyer upper extremity assessment (FMA-UE) and the simplified upper limb function assessment (STEF) were applied.Results:In both groups after treatment, there was a significant improvement in the SWME scores and 2-PD distance of the index finger and the thenar, and there was a significant decrease in the angle of motion perception (at 30° of flexion). The average FMA-UE and STEF scores of both groups had improved. After the treatment, the SWME scores of the index finger and the thenar, as well as well as the average FMA-UE and STEF scores of the isokinetic group were significantly higher than the control group′s averages. Angle of motion perception was also significantly superior.Conclusions:Sensorimotor training based on isokinetic techniques can significantly improve touch, motion sense, gross motor function and the fine motor ability of stroke survivors.

Objective:To explore the association between uric acid and new-onset chronic kidney disease (CKD) in middle-aged and elderly hypertensive patients.Methods:This was a retrospective cohort study. Middle-aged and elderly hypertensive patients who had attended at least two annual health examinations at Yongshun Community Health Service Center in Tongzhou District, Beijing, from June 2016 to December 2020 were enrolled. The time interval between the two physical examinations was three years. The first physical examination time served as the baseline, and the second as the end of follow-up. Based on the uric acid level at baseline, the participants were divided into the normal uric acid group and the hyperuricemia group. The relevant clinical data of the participants were collected. The endpoint of the study was new-onset CKD. A multivariate logistic regression model was used to analyze the association between uric acid and new-onset CKD in hypertensive patients.Results:A total of 2 472 middle-aged and elderly hypertensive patients with an average age of (62.43±7.02) years were included. Of these, 733(29.7%) were male. There were 710 patients with hyperuricemia (hyperuricemia group) and 1 762 patients with normal uric acid levels (normal uric acid group).After adjusting for age, sex, body mass index (BMI), systolic blood pressure, diabetes mellitus, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), and uric acid-lowering treatment, multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that combined with hyperuricemia was an independent risk factor for new-onset CKD in middle-aged and elderly hypertensive patients ( OR=3.00, 95% CI: 1.87-4.80, P<0.001). The results of multivariate logistic analysis showed that elevated uric acid level was an independent risk factor for new-onset CKD in both male and female middle-aged and elderly hypertensive patients (both P<0.05), and there was no sex interaction ( P for interactio n>0.05). The results of multivariate logistic analysis showed that the combination of asymptomatic hyperuricemia was an independent risk factor for new-onset CKD in middle-aged and elderly hypertensive patients ( OR=3.00, 95% CI: 1.87-4.80, P<0.001), and there was no gender interaction ( P for interactio n>0.05). Conclusions:Hyperuricemia is an independent risk factor for new-onset CKD in middle-aged and elderly hypertensive patients, and elevated uric acid levels increase the risk of new-onset CKD in both male and female patients. Moreover, asymptomatic hyperuricemia may increase the risk of new-onset CKD.
