ObjectiveTo verify the association between the Ddit3-Trib3-Akt signaling pathway and rat spermatogenesis by constructing an in vitro co-culture system of testis. MethodsTesticular tissue blocks from 20-25-day-old male rats were placed in an in vitro culture system， and the culture medium was replaced every 2 to 3 days. PCR was used to verify the expression of marker genes of various spermatogenic cells. RNA interference technology was employed to verify the correlation between the Ddit3-Trib3-Akt signaling pathway and rat spermatogenesis. ResultsThe co-culture system could be continuously cultured for more than 2.5 months in vitro. RT-PCR showed that specific marker genes of spermatogonia， spermatocyte and spermoblast were expressed. The RNA and protein expression of Trib3 and Akt changed after the knocking down of Ddit3 and Trib3， respectively. It demonstrated the existence of Ddit3-Trib3-Akt signaling pathway in rat spermatogenesis. ConclusionThe culture time of more than 2.5 months indicates that the culture system can temporarily maintain the proliferation and differentiation of stem cells， and simultaneously maintain and stabilize spermatogenesis in a simple system. The successful validation of the Ddit3-Trib3-Akt signaling pathway also confirms that this culture system can be used to study possible molecular mechanisms of spermatogenesis in vitro.

ObjectiveMigraine is a leading neurological disorder and the fourth most common cause of years lived with disability worldwide, affecting nearly 116 million individuals. Although pharmacological treatments are available, their efficacy is often limited by side effects and variable response rates. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) over the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) offers a safe, non-invasive alternative for migraine management. However, the neurophysiological mechanisms, particularly how rTMS modulates local cortical excitability and distributed pain-related circuits, remain poorly understood. Elucidating these mechanisms is essential for optimizing treatment protocols and improving clinical outcomes. MethodsThis study employed concurrent transcranial magnetic stimulation and electroencephalography (TMS-EEG) to investigate neuroplastic and neurocircuitry mechanisms of DLPFC-rTMS in migraine. Study 1 compared 30 migraineurs and 28 healthy controls to identify abnormalities in TMS-evoked potentials (TEPs) and significant current density (SCD) within sensory-discriminative regions including the primary somatosensory cortex (S1) and posterior insula (pINS), cognitive-affective regions including the anterior insula (aINS) and midcingulate cortex (MCC), and a descending modulatory region, the periaqueductal gray (PAG). Study 2 used a single-blind, crossover, sham-controlled design in 34 healthy participants. Each participant received both active (10 Hz, 80% RMT, 1 500 pulses) and sham DLPFC-rTMS in counterbalanced order. TMS-EEG and cold pain tolerance were assessed before and after each session. ResultsIn Study 1, migraineurs showed a significantly less negative N120 amplitude compared to healthy controls (P=0.027, Cohen’s d=0.60), indicating local intracortical disinhibition. No group differences were observed for N40, P60, or P180 components. At the source level, migraineurs exhibited significantly higher SCD in the S1, pINS, aINS, and MCC (allQ<0.05), but not in the ventroposterior thalamus (vpTHAL), mediodorsal thalamus (mdTHAL), or PAG. In Study 2, active rTMS significantly reduced SCD from pre- to post-stimulation in the S1, aINS, and MCC (all Q<0.05). Sham stimulation also reduced SCD in the S1 (Q<0.05) but not in the aINS or MCC. Although no significant group-level analgesic effect was observed between active and sham conditions (P=0.107), correlation analyses revealed that greater SCD reductions in the S1 and MCC were significantly associated with higher post-rTMS pain tolerance (R=-0.487 and -0.495, both Q<0.01) and larger improvements in pain tolerance(R=-0.487 and -0.451, both Q<0.05). No such correlations were found following sham stimulation, suggesting that the behavioural relevance of neural changes is specific to active rTMS. ConclusionThis study provides novel evidence that migraineurs exhibit both local neuroplastic abnormalities (reduced N120 amplitude) and hyperactivity in key pain-processing regions (S1, pINS, aINS, MCC). A single session of DLPFC-rTMS reduced hyperactivity in the aINS, MCC, and S1. Notably, greater reductions in the S1 and MCC were associated with improved pain tolerance. These findings identify distinct cortical circuitries, particularly within the cognitive-affective pain network, that may serve as potential biomarkers for optimizing rTMS treatment in migraine and other chronic pain conditions. Future studies should validate these results in patient populations experiencing spontaneous migraine attacks and explore multi-session or accelerated rTMS protocols.

Nanoparticle delivery systems have good application prospects in the field of precision therapy, but the preparation process of nanomaterial has problems such as short in vivo circulation time, easy recognition, and clearance by the immune system in the body. In recent years, biomimetic nanoparticle delivery systems mediated by natural cell membranes have become a research hotspot to address these issues. The natural membrane biomimetic nanoparticle delivery system cleverly integrates the advantages of natural biofilm "autologous" and "artificial" functional carriers by using endogenous cell membranes to modify the surface of nanocarriers, endowing them with characteristics such as tumor targeting, low immunogenicity, and long blood circulation. Currently, biomimetic nanoparticle delivery systems have been used in the treatment of malignant tumors, cardiovascular diseases, bacterial infections, and other diseases. This paper analyzes the development status and current research hotspots of natural cell membrane camouflaged biomimetic nanoparticle delivery systems mainly reviews the latest research progress of red blood cell membrane camouflaged biomimetic nanoparticle delivery systems in the field of disease treatment in recent years. It focuses on exploring the advantages, future development prospects, and limitations of biomimetic nanoparticle delivery systems based on red blood cell membrane camouflage in improving drug delivery, to provide a reference for the in-depth research and development of this system.

Abstract： ObjectiveThe study aims to explore the effects and regulatory roles of glucose transporter 1 （GLUT1） on the proliferation， migration， adhesion， and angiogenesis of human umbilical vein endothelial cells （HUVECs） under ischemia-hypoxic conditions. MethodsIn vitro experiments were conducted to subject HUVECs to an ischemia-hypoxic-mimicking environment （1% O₂， 5% CO₂， 94% N₂）. The biological characteristics of HUVECs under normoxic and ischemia-hypoxic conditions were compared by assessing cell viability， proliferation capacity， and examining the expression changes of GLUT1， HIF-1α， and VEGFA proteins under ischemia-hypoxia using Western blot technology. Further， GLUT1 was overexpressed using plasmid transfection and the proliferation， migration， adhesion， and angiogenic capabilities of HUVECs were evaluated through scratch assays， cell adhesion assays， and tube formation assays. Mitochondrial morphological changes were observed by transmission electron microscopy，and oxygen consumption rate （OCR） was detected by Seahorse metabolic analyzer to evaluate mitochondrial function. ResultsCompared with normoxic conditions， the ischemia-hypoxic environment significantly inhibited the proliferation， cell viability， migration， and adhesion capabilities of HUVECs and impaired their angiogenic potential. The expression levels of GLUT1， HIF-1α and VEGFA proteins were also markedly reduced. However， when GLUT1 expression was upregulated， the migration， adhesion， and angiogenic capabilities of HUVECs were significantly improved， and the protein expression levels of HIF-1α， VEGFA and VEGFR were increased. Transmission electron microscopy revealed that ischemic-hypoxia leads to mitochondrial swelling and matrix damage， while GLUT1 overexpression significantly alleviates mitochondrial morphology abnormalities. OCR results suggest that GLUT1 overexpression may enhance oxidative phosphorylation of endothelial cells in ischemic-hypoxic environments to improve energy metabolism. These results suggest that GLUT1 may influence the function and angiogenic potential of HUVECs by regulating glucose metabolism and energy supply. ConclusionsThis study reveals the significant regulatory role of GLUT1 in the function of HUVECs under ischemia-hypoxic conditions， potentially through modulating cellular energy metabolism and signal transduction pathways， thereby affecting cell proliferation， migration， adhesion， and angiogenesis. These findings provide a new perspective on the role of GLUT1 in cardiovascular diseases and may offer potential targets for the development of new therapeutic strategies.

Body weight abnormalities, including overweight, obesity, and underweight, have become a dual public health challenge in Chinese adults: overweight and obesity lead to a variety of chronic complications, while underweight increases the risks of malnutrition, sarcopenia, and organ dysfunction. To systematically address these issues, multidisciplinary experts in endocrinology, sports science, nutrition, and psychiatry from various regions have held multiple weight management seminars. Based on the latest epidemiological data and clinical evidence, they expanded the guideline to include assessment and intervention strategies for underweight, in addition to the core content of obesity management. This guideline outlines the etiological mechanisms, evaluation methods, and multidimensional management strategies for overweight and obesity, covering key areas such as diagnosis and assessment, medical nutrition therapy, exercise prescription, pharmacological intervention, and psychological support. It is intended to provide a scientific and standardized approach to weight management across the adult population, aiming to curb the rising prevalence of obesity, mitigate complications associated with abnormal body weight, and improve nutritional status and overall quality of life.

Objective:Chimeric antigen receptor T-cell(CAR-T)immunotherapy has made major breakthroughs in the treatment of blood tu-mors.However,current CAR-T therapies face several limitations:they require autologous cells,involve a lengthy and costly production pro-cess,and use lentiviral transduction that carry risk of insertional carcinogenesis due to random integration.Therefore,there is an urgent need to develop a universal cost-effective cancer immunotherapy method generating CAR-T cells for in vivo cancer immunotherapy.Meth-ods:This study successfully established an exosome-mediated,T-cell targeted delivery system,demonstrating both precise design and func-tional efficacy for biomedical applications.To optimize CAR-T cell generation the transfection dose was adjusted,and the kinetics of CAR-T cell percentage were recorded.The cytotoxicity of the resulting CAR-T cells was evaluated in vitro by calcein-AM release.To test the tumor-killing in vivo of engineered exosomes,human PBMCs were injected into NPG mice via the tail vein to establish humanized mice,followed by intravenous injection of tumor cells to induce cancer.Results:To overcome the limitations of conditional autologous CAR-T cells,we de-veloped a T cell-targeted exosome system capable of specifically targeting human CD3+,CD4+,and CD8+T cells.CAR-T production was dose-dependent,with transfection efficiency reaching upto 97.8%at 106 particles/cell.Both in vitro cytotoxicity assays and in vivo animal experi-ments demonstrated that exosome-incubated CAR-T cells effectively eliminated CD19-positive Raji cells,highlighting their specificity and therapeutic potential in antigen-directed applications.Conclusions:We successfully established a CD8-targeting exosome delivery system for CAR-T cell production capable of transforming CD8+T cells into functional CAR-T cells,which showed significant tumor-killing ability in vitro and in mice.Compared with the traditional lentiviral vector for the preparation of CAR-T cells in vitro,in vivo-reprogrammed CAR-T cells us-ing our CD8-targeted exosome delivery system,with higher transfection efficiency,shorter production period,lower cost,and eliminated the risk of insertion carcinogenesis.This strategy promises to bring a new era of universal CAR-T medicine,which can improve cancer immuno-therapy and may hold promise as a therapeutic platform to treat various diseases.

The novel coronavirus(severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2,SARS-CoV-2),classified as a single-stranded RNA virus,replicates and transcribes its genome through the action of an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase,which is itself comprised of numerous non-structural pro-teins(non-structural proteins,Nsps).The present study delineates the development of a detection system founded on a bicistronic reporter plasmid in conjunction with an array of Nsp plasmids,ai-ming to investigate the influence of SARS-CoV-2 Nsps on the virus's replication and expression profiles.Specifically,a bicistronic reporter gene plasmid along with twelve distinct Nsp plasmids(encompassing Nsp3C-Flag,Nsp4,Nsp6-Nsp10,Nsp12-Nsp16)were meticulously constructed via molecular cloning techniques.The successful expression of these Nsps was subsequently confirmed through Western blot analysis.Initially,the activity of the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase was assessed by co-transfection of the reporter plasmid with Nsp12,in the presence of its auxiliary fac-tors Nsp7 and Nsp8,with careful regulation of the co-transfection ratio,culturing temperature,and the timing of activity determination for the triad of Nsp plasmids.The normalized NLuc fluorescein value,in reference to the FLuc fluorescein value of the housekeeping gene,served as a metric for determining the polymerase activity.Building upon this foundation,the co-transfection concentra-tions of Nsp9-16 were fine-tuned,followed by the incremental addition of varying doses of Nsp3C,Nsp4,and Nsp6,to further elucidate the activity of RNA-dependent RNA polymerase(RdRp).The findings indicated that upon transfection with varying ratios of Nsp7,Nsp8,and Nsp12 at a propor-tion of 1∶8∶24,the polymerase activity was markedly elevated compared to the control group,with a statistical significance level(P＜0.001).Furthermore,in the absence of Nsp3,Nsp4,and Nsp6,the inclusion of Nsp10-16 substantially augmented the activity of the RdRp,particularly in scenarios where Nsp9 was not introduced,achieving statistical significance(P＜0.001).In the pres-ence of Nsp3 and Nsp4,the RdRp activity was augmented further upon the addition of Nsp9,reac-hing a level of significance(P＜0.05).The data imply that Nsp9 is capable of enhancing the RdRp activity of SARS-CoV-2 exclusively in the context of Nsp3 and Nsp4 coexistence,suggesting that the stimulatory influence of Nsp9 on viral replication may be contingent upon the formation of double-membrane vesicles.

Objective:To explore the therapeutic effect of CD5L targeted therapy on a rat model of collagen-induced arthritis (CIA).Methods:The CIA rat model was established and treated with anti-CD5L antibody. The clinical arthritis score and tissue swelling degree of rats were evaluated. Twenty-four SD rats were randomly divided into the control group, the model group, the isotype control group and the CD5L antibody group. HE staining and safranin fast green staining were used to observe the synovial inflammation and cartilage erosion in the ankle joint of CIA rats. Micro-CT was used to scan the feet of CIA rats to detect bone mineral density and bone destruction. The levels of TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-8 in serum were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). All experimental data conforming to normal distribution were compared between groups by one-way ANOVA, and Dunnet t test was used to compare the two groups. Results:CD5L antibody improved joint swelling and deformity in CIA rats. The statistics of arthritis scores in rats showed that there was a statistically significant difference in arthritis scores between the CD5L antibody group and the isotype antibody group of rats from Day 23[Day 23 (6.6±0.5) vs. (8.2±0.7), t=-7.07, P<0.05; Day 26 (7.0±0.6) vs. (8.4±0.5), t=-7.59, P<0.05; Day 29 (7.6±0.4) vs. (9.4±0.8), t=-6.96, P<0.05; Day 32 (7.8±0.5) vs.(9.6±1.1), t=-6.50, P<0.05; Day 35 (8.2±0.7) vs. (10.4±0.7), t=-5.88, P<0.05]. The HE staining results showed that there was a statistically significant difference in the HE staining score between the CD5L antibody group and the isotype antibody group of rats [(2.5±0.6) vs. (5.0±0.8), t=-6.73, P<0.05]. The results of safranin fixation green staining showed that there was a statistically significant difference in the safranin fixation green staining score between the CD5L antibody group and the isotype antibody group of rats [(1.8±0.8) vs. (3.5±0.6), t=-5.22, P<0.05]. The Micro-CT imaging results showed that there was a statistically significant difference in bone mineral density between the CD5L antibody group and the isotype antibody group of rats [(5 618±128)g/cm 3vs. (5 202±39)g/cm 3, t=8.06, P<0.01]. The ELISA results showed that there were statistically significant differences in the contents of TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-8 in the serum of rats between the CD5L antibody group and the isotype antibody group [TNF-α: (164±22)pg/ml vs. (213±17)pg/ml, t=5.05, P<0.05; IL-6: (186±17)pg/ml vs. (230.7±25.3)pg/ml, t=4.78, P<0.05; IL-8: (384±21)pg/ml vs. (456±44)pg/ml, t=-5.21, P<0.05]. Conclusion:Targeting CD5L can effectively alleviate synovial inflammation and bone destruction in CIA rats. CD5L may be used as a potential therapeutic target for rheumatoid arthritis.

Objective: To investigate the correlation between the levels of calcitonin gene-related peptide α (CGRPα) and the poor responses to the treatment of phenylephrine in pregnant women with hypotension during caesarean section under intraspinal anesthesia. Methods : A total of 87 pregnant women who underwent intraspinal anesthesia cesarean section were recruited . They were grouped according to the presence or absence of hypotension after anesthesia and the response to ephedrine and Phe . As to Anesthesia-0 group , pregnant women had no hypo- tension , 35 cases (40. 2% ) ; Anesthesia-1 group , pregnant women had hypotension and good response to ephed- rine treatment , 12 cases (13 . 8% ) ; Anesthesia-2 group , pregnant women had hypotension and had poor response to ephedrine treatment , 6 cases (6. 9% ) ; Anesthesia-3 group , pregnant women had hypotension and good response to Phe treatment , 8 cases (9. 2% ) ; Anesthesia-4 group , pregnant women had hypotension and no response to Phe treatment , 26 cases (29. 9% ) . The levels of CGRPαin serum and placental tissues of pregnant women were deter- mined by ELISA . The rats pregnant normally. A hypotension rat model was established by intragastric administra- tion of risserpine . 50 rats were randomly divided into control group , model group , pregnancy group , model + preg- nancy group , model + pregnancy + phenylephrine group , with 10 rats in each group . Body weight of the rats was continuously monitored during the 2nd to 6th week of risserpine administration . Systolic blood pressure was meas- ured at the end of the 6th induction week . And the peripheral blood sample and placental tissues were collected and the levels of CGRPαwere determined . Results : The detection of CGRPαlevels in the pregnant women serum and placental tissues showed that compared with Anesthesia-0 group , CGRPαlevels in Anesthesia-1-4 groups serum were higher (P < 0. 05) . Compared with Anesthesia-3 group , serum CGRPαlevels in Anesthesia-4 group were higher (P < 0. 05) . Compared with Anesthesia-2 group , CGRPαlevels in Anesthesia-4 group serum were higher (P < 0. 05) . Compared with Anesthesia-0 group , tissues CGRPαlevels in Anesthesia-4 group were higher (P < 0. 05) . Compared with Anesthesia-3 group , CGRPαlevels in Anesthesia-4 group tissues were higher (P < 0. 05) . Compared with Anesthesia-2 group , CGRPαlevels in Anesthesia-4 group tissues were higher ( P < 0. 05) . From the 2nd to 6th week of hypotension modeling induction , compared with pregnancy group , body weight decreased in the model + pregnancy group and the model + pregnancy + phenylephrine group (P < 0. 05) . There was no signifi- cant difference in baseline systolic blood pressure among all groups (P > 0. 05) . At the end of the 6th week , com- pared with pregnancy group , systolic blood pressure decreased in model + pregnancy group and model + pregnancy + phenylephrine group(P < 0. 05) ; the levels of CGRPαin serum and placental tissues increased ( P < 0. 05) . Compared with model + pregnancy group , systolic blood pressure increased in model + pregnancy + phenylephrine group (P < 0. 05) . Conclusion The poor response of pregnant women with hypotension during caesarean section under intraspinal anesthesia to the treatment of phenylephrine may be related to the increased levels of CGRPαin placenta and peripheral blood .

Resistance to poly adenosine diphosphate(ADP)-ribose polymerase inhibitor(PARPi)presents a considerable obstacle in the treatment of ovarian cancer.F-box and tryptophan-aspartic(WD)repeat domain containing 11(FBXW11)modulates the ubiquitination of growth-and invasion-related factors in lung cancer,colorectal cancer,and osteosarcoma.The function of FBXW11 in PARPi therapy is still ambiguous.In this study,RNA sequencing(RNA-seq)showed that FBXW11 expression was raised in ovarian cancer cells that had been treated with PARPi.FBXW11 was abnormally expressed at low levels in high-grade serous ovarian cancer(HGSOC)tissues,and low levels of FBXW11 were associated with shorter overall survival(OS)and progression-free survival(PFS)in HGSOC patients.Overexpressing FBXW11 made ovarian cancer more sensitive to PARPi,while knocking down FBXW11 made it less sensitive.The four-dimensional(4D)label-free quantitative proteomic analysis revealed that FBXW11 targeted S100 calcium binding protein A11(S100A11)and promoted its degradation through ubiquiti-nation.The increased degradation of S100A11 led to less efficient DNA damage repair,which in turn contributed to increased PARPi-induced DNA damage.The role of FBXW11 in promoting PARPi sensitivity was also confirmed in xenograft mouse models.In summary,our study confirms that FBXW11 promotes the susceptibility of ovarian cancer cells to PARPi via affecting S10OA11-mediated DNA damage repair.
