Tailored lipid nanoparticles (LNPs)-mediated small interfering RNA (siRNA) nanomedicines show promise in treating liver disease, such as acute liver injury (ALI) and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). However, constructing LNPs that address biosafety concerns, ensure efficient delivery, and target specific hepatic subcellular fractions has been challenging. To evade above obstacles, we develop three novel self-degradable "gemini-like" ionizable lipids (SS-MA, SS-DC, SS-MH) by incorporating disulfide bonds and modifying the length of ester bond and tertiary amino head. Our findings reveal that the disulfide-bond-bridged LNPs exhibit reduction-responsive drug release, improving both biosafety and siRNA delivery efficiency. Furthermore, the distance of ester bond and tertiary amino head significantly influences the LNPs' pK _a, thereby affecting endosomal escape, hemolytic efficiency, absorption capacity of ApoE, uptake efficiency of hepatocytes and liver accumulation. We also develop the modified-mannose LNPs (M-LNP) to target liver macrophages specifically. The optimized M-MH_LNP@TNFα exhibits potential in preventing ALI by decreasing tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα) levels in the macrophages, while MH_LNP@DGAT2 could treat NASH by selectively degrading diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase 2 (DGAT2) in the hepatocytes. Our findings provide new insights into developing novel highly effective and low-toxic "gemini-like" ionizable lipids for constructing LNPs, potentially achieving more effective treatment for hepatic diseases.

Objective:To explore the risk assessment and intervention effect of WeChat platform-based health management in high-risk populations for cardiovascular diseases (CVD).Methods:It was a randomized controlled trial. A total of 480 individuals at high risk of CVD who underwent physical examinations at the Health Management Center of Sichuan Provincial People′s Hospital from February to April in 2023 were selected using a simple random sampling method. The participants were randomly assigned to either the intervention group or the control group (240 cases each) using a random number table. The control group received routine follow-up and health assessments, while the intervention group received an additional 12-month WeChat-based health management intervention. During the study, 28 participants were lost to follow-up, resulting in 227 participants in the intervention group and 225 in the control group being included in the final analysis. The 10-year CVD risk was assessed using the prediction for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk in China (China-PAR) model, and psychological status was evaluated using the self-rating anxiety Scale (SAS) and the self-rating depression scale (SDS). Changes in health behaviors, adherence, life style, blood pressure, metabolic indicators, psychological status, and CVD risk were compared before and after the intervention in both groups to evaluate the intervention′s effectiveness.Results:Among the 452 high-risk participants analyzed, the intervention group included 227 individuals [mean age: (53.16±10.81) years; 117 males and 110 females], and the control group included 225 individuals [mean age: (52.60±10.25) years; 118 males and 107 females]. There was no significant differences in baseline characteristics between the two groups (all P>0.05). After 12 months of intervention, the intervention group showed significant improvements in medication adherence, intake of vegetables and fruits, exercise duration, sleep time, proportion of regular lifestyle, and high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels, all of which were all higher than both the baseline values and those in the control group (all P<0.05). Conversely, the intervention group showed reductions in medical visit rate, smoking and drinking rates, high-salt diet, meat intake, body mass index (BMI), fasting blood glucose, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), total cholesterol, triglycerides, SAS and SDS scores when compared to the baseline values and those in the control group (all P<0.05). The proportions of participants with 10-year CVD risk levels of 10%-<20%, 20%-<30%, 30%-<40%, and ≥40% significantly decreased in the intervention group after intervention (18.94% vs 36.12%, 12.78% vs 26.43%, 7.93% vs 19.82%, 3.96% vs 17.63%), and were also significantly lower than those in the control group (18.94% vs 40.45%, 12.78% vs 30.67%, 7.93% vs 22.67%, 3.96% vs 16.89%) (all P<0.001). After 12 months, the intervention group showed significantly higher improvement rates in both medication adherence and non-medication-related compliance behaviors, including smoking, alcohol consumption, meat and salt intake, fruit and vegetable intake, exercise duration, sleep duration, and lifestyle regularity, when compared to those in the control group (16.74% vs -3.11%, 14.54% vs -0.89%, 16.74% vs -0.44%, 57.71% vs 8.44%, 21.15% vs -0.44%, 56.83% vs -6.67%, 51.54% vs -3.56%, 60.79% vs -7.11%, 26.87% vs -13.78%, 22.91% vs -1.78%) (all P<0.001). Conclusion:The WeChat platform-based health management intervention can effectively improve the behavioral patterns, compliance, control of CVD risk factors and psychological status of high-risk populations for CVD, and help reduce their 10-year risk of CVD.

Hepatocellular carcinoma （HCC） is a common tumor in the digestive tract， the formation mechanism of which remains to be fully elucidated. Although surgery， radiation， chemotherapy， targeted therapy， and immunotherapy have achieved significant results in the treatment of HCC， these methods are accompanied by a considerable number of adverse reactions and complications. In recent years， Chinese medicine has shown remarkable efficacy in the treatment of HCC， and both basic experiments and clinical studies have confirmed the effectiveness of Chinese medicine， which exerts therapeutic effects via multiple components and multiple targets. However， the pathogenesis of HCC is exceptionally complex and not fully understood， which means that studies remain to be carried out regarding the specific mechanism of Chinese medicine in preventing and treating HCC. Network pharmacology and molecular biology can be employed to decipher the mechanism of Chinese medicine in the treatment of diseases. Studies have shown that Chinese medicine can regulate various pathways such as the mitogen-activated protein kinase （MAPK）， phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B （PI3K/Akt）， Hedgehog， Wnt/β-catenin， nuclear factor-κB （NF-κB）， Janus kinase 2/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 （JAK2/STAT3）， and transforming growth factor-β （TGF-β）/Smad signaling pathways. Chinese medicine can exhibit its anti-HCC effects by inducing cell apoptosis， inhibiting cell proliferation and migration， and blocking the cell cycle via the above pathways. However， the specific mechanisms remain to be systematically studied. This study comprehensively reviews the regulatory effects of Chinese medicine on HCC-related signaling pathways to reveal the molecular mechanisms of Chinese medicine in the treatment of HCC. This view holds the promise of providing new targets， new perspectives， and new therapies for HCC treatment and advancing the modernization and development of Chinese medicine.

Objective:To analyze the bone turnover markers in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients with different disease activity and the risk factors of osteoporosis.Methods:In this retrospective study, a total of 417 SLE inpatients were enrolled from the Department of Rheumatology and Immunology, the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi′an Jiaotong University, from March 2019 to June 2020. According to SLEDAI score, the patients were divided into 3 groups: 281 patients disease with inactive disease group; 99 patients with mild active disease group; and 37 patients with moderate/severe active disease. ANOVA test was used to compare the differences in serum bone turnover markers (PTH, NOST, VITDT, β-crossl, TP1NP, Ca and P) and bone density (Spine L 1~4 and left femur) among the three groups, and Tukey's method was used for the two groups comparison. Logistic regression analysis was used to investigate the risk factors of osteoporosis. Results:Serum VITDT, β-crossl and Ca levels were significantly different among the 3 groups ( F=11.66, P<0.001; F=7.22, P<0.001; F=29.38, P<0.001). Compared with patients in the inactive group, patients with both the mild disease group (VITDT: t=3.94, P<0.001; Ca: t=5.10, P<0.001) and the moderate/severe disease group (VITDT: t=3.33, P<0.001; Ca: t=7.19, P<0.001) had lower VITDT levels [(20.3±9.7) ng/ml vs. (15.9±9.3) ng/ml vs. (14.8±7.4) ng/ml] and serum Ca levels [(2.19±0.15)mmol/L vs. (2.09±0.21)mmol/L vs. (2.00±0.16)mmol/L]. Moreover, the moderate/severe disease group patients had much lower serum Ca levels ( t=2.36, P<0.05), compared with patients with the mild disease group. Compared with the patients with inactive group, both the mild activey group ( t=3.06, P<0.01) and the moderate/severe activie group ( t=2.99, P<0.01) patients had higher serum β-crossl levels [(419±316) pg/ml vs. (543±424) pg/ml vs. (586±343) pg/ml]. Compared with patients with the inactive disease group both patienes with the mild active group and the moderate/severe disease group patients had significantly decreased spine BMD ( t=2.75, P<0.01; t=2.71, P<0.01), Z-score ( t=5.65, P<0.001; t=4.70, P<0.001), T-score ( t=3.02, P<0.01; t=3.37, P<0.001), whereas, no difference was found between the mild disease group and moderate/severe disease group. Compared with the inactive group patients, both the mild active group and moderate/severe disease group patients had lower left femur BMD levels ( t=2.83, P<0.001; t=2.65, P<0.001) and T-score ( t=2.24, P<0.05; t=1.977, P<0.05) and no difference was found between the mild disease group and the moderate/severe disease group. Logistic regression analysis showed that age [ HR (95% CI)=1.080 (1.052, 1.109), P<0.001], BMI [ HR (95% CI)=0.801 (0.704, 0.911), P<0.001], SLEDAI score [ HR (95% CI)=1.047 (1.025, 1.076), P<0.05] and cumulative glucocorticoids dose [1.046 (1.006, 1.087), P<0.05] were associated with osteoporosis of SLE patients. Conclusion:Abnormal bone metabolism and decreased bone density are associated with SLE disease activity in SLE patients, especially in those with advanced age, low BMI and receiving high cumulative dose of glucocorticoids. Osteoporosis should be proactively prevented in the SLE patients.
