ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of Tougu Xiaotong capsules （TGXTC） on the regulation of chondrocyte PANoptosis， delay of chondrocyte degeneration， and improvement of the symptoms in knee osteoarthritis （KOA）. MethodsIn vivo experiments： 50 male C57BL/6 mice were randomly assigned into five groups （n=10 per group）： sham operation group， model group， low-dose TGXTC group （7.2 g·kg^-1）， high-dose TGXTC group （14.4 g·kg^-1）， and diclofenac sodium group （0.05 g·kg^-1）. Except for the sham group， KOA models were established in all other groups using the modified Hulth method. Following successful model induction， the TGXTC groups received daily oral gavage of 7.2 or 14.4 g·kg^-1 for 6 weeks， while the diclofenac sodium group received 0.05 g·kg^-1 solution daily over the same duration. Model evaluation was performed using Lequesne MG score； micro-computed tomography （micro-CT） was used to scan the knee， hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining and safranin O-fast green staining were used to observe the morphology of cartilage， transmission electron microscopy （TEM） was used to determine ultrastructural changes of PANoptosis. Multiple immunofluorescence （IF） co-localization assays was performed to detect the co-localization of cleaved Caspase-3， receptor-interacting protein 3 （RlPK3）， and the N-terminal domain of gasdermin D （GSDMD-N） in cartilage tissue， while western blot was employed to detect the expression levels of cleaved Caspase-3， RIPK3， and GSDMD-N. In vitro experiments： The knee cartilages of 4-week-old SD rats were isolated， and a chondrocyte in vitro culture system was established through mechanical digestion with 0.2% type Ⅱ collagenase. Second-generation chondrocytes were divided into three groups： the control group， the model group （pretreated with 10 mg·L^-1 lipopolysaccharide （LPS） for 24 h followed by treatment with 1 μmol·L^-1 nigericin for 4 h）， and the TGXTC treatment group （pretreated with 10 mg·L^-1 LPS for 24 h， followed by exposure to 1 μmol·L^-1 nigericin for 4 h and subsequently treated with 100 mg·L^-1 TGXTC for an additional 24 h）. The levels of reactive oxygen species （ROS）， apoptosis， necroptosis， and pyroptosis of chondrocytes were evaluated via fluorescence microscopy following staining with ROS detection， AO/EB and YO-PRO-1/PI staining kits. Transmission electron microscopy was utilized to investigate the ultrastructural changes associated with PANoptosis in cartilage tissue of KOA mice. Inflammatory cytokine levels （IL-1β and IL-18） were measured using ELISA. Western blot was conducted to assess protein expressions related to PANoptosis， including cleaved Caspase-3， cleaved Caspase-8， RIPK3， ZBP1， GSDMD-N， and NLRP3. ResultsCompared with the sham group， the Lequesne MG scores were significantly up-regulated（P<0.01） in the model group， and the pathological changes of cartilage were significantly， with joint spaces narrower， osteophyte formation increased， secere abrasion of cartilage surface. Ultrastructural analysis revealed pronounced chondrocyte apoptosis， necroptosis， and pyroptosis， along with markedly elevated expression of cleaved Caspase-3， RlPK3， and GSDMD-N in cartilage tissue （P<0.01）. In addition， The mean fluorescence intensities of ROS， orange-red fluorescence in AO/EB staining， green fluorescence and red fluorescence in YO-PRO-1/PI staining were increased of chondrocyte in the model group （P<0.01） . The levels of inflammatory factors IL-1β and IL-18 in the supernatant were increased （P<0.01）. The expression of PANoptosis related proteins （cleaved Caspase-3， cleaved Caspase-8， RIPK3， ZBP1， GSDMD-N， and NLRP3） were also significantly upregulated（P<0.05）. Compared to the model group， the TGXTC group demonstrated a significant improvement in various parameters of mice. These included a reduction in the Lequesne MG score， an increase in joint space， a decrease in osteophyte formation， diminished cartilage damage， reduced release of ROS， and alleviation of apoptotic， necroptotic， and pyroptotic processes in chondrocytes. Additionally， mitochondrial swelling and endoplasmic reticulum dilation were also mitigated. The levels of ROS as well as IL-1β and IL-18 were significantly decreased （P<0.05）. Furthermore， the expression levels of proteins associated with PANoptosis in cartilage tissue showed marked reductions （P<0.05）. Similar results were observed in chondrocytes： cleaved Caspase-3， cleaved Caspase-8， RIPK3， ZBP1， GSDMD-N， and NLRP3 exhibited significant decreases as well （P<0.05）. ConclusionTGXTC may mitigate chondrocytes degeneration and alleviate KOA symptoms by reducing oxidative stress and suppressing the activation of PANoptosis pathways.

Objective To investigate the effects of adiponectin(APN)on the proliferation,migration,and invasion of ovarian cancer cells and its potential association with the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase(PI3K)/pro-tein kinase B(Akt)/mammalian target of rapamycin(mTOR)signaling pathway.Methods A2780 and SK-OV3 cell lines were selected.AdipoR1 mRNA expression was detected by real-time polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR).The CCK-8 assay was employed to evaluate APN-induced proliferation,while scratch wound heal-ing and Transwell assays were conducted to assess migration and invasion capabilities.Western blot analysis was performed to measure the expression levels of PI3K,Akt,mTOR,and their phosphorylated forms(p-Akt,p-mTOR)at different time points(0-60 min)after APN treatment and across intervention groups(APN,LY294002,APN+LY294002).Results Both A2780 and SKOV3 cells expressed AdipoR1 mRNA.Compared with the control group,APN significantly enhanced the proliferation,migration,and invasion of o-varian cancer cells(P＜0.05).Under the stimulation of APN,the expression levels of p-Akt and p-mTOR in A2780 and SKOV3 cells showed a significant upward trend.The peak expression of p-Akt and p-mTOR in A2780 cells was observed at 30 minutes,while in SKOV3 cells,it occurred at 60 minutes.The expression lev-els of p-Akt and p-mTOR were significantly reduced in the LY294002 group and APN+LY294002 group(P＜0.001).Conclusion APN enhances the proliferation,migration,and invasion behavior of ovarian cancer cells by activating the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway,and its effect can be reversed by PI3K inhibitors,providing a theoretical basis for targeted intervention in ovarian cancer progression.

Objective To assess the clinical value of a novel surgical technique—Tubeless subxiphoid uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery with percutaneous suspension technique via balance-shaped sternal elevation device in the resection of anterior mediastinal masses. Methods Patients who underwent tubeless subxiphoid uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery via balance-shaped sternal elevation device in anterior mediastinal masses process at the Department of Thoracic Surgery, West China Hospital, Sichuan University from March to April 2025 were included, and their clinical data were analyzed. Results A total of 4 patients were included, with 2 males and 2 females, aged 58-75 years. The diameter of the tumor was 2.5-3.0 cm. The operation time was 60.0-150.0 min, intraoperative blood loss was 5-10 mL, pain score on the 3rd day after surgery was 0 points, and postoperative hospital stay was 2-3 days. All patients achieved complete resection of the masses and thymus without perioperative complications. Conclusion The tubeless subxiphoid uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery with percutaneous suspension technique via balance-shaped sternal elevation device technique optimizes surgical visualization and instrument maneuverability while avoiding complications related to conventional anesthesia and tubing, thereby markedly enhancing the minimally invasive profile of anterior mediastinal masses resections. In addition to maintaining procedural safety, this approach effectively reduces postoperative pain and accelerates patient recovery, highlighting its potential for widespread clinical adoption.

Previous studies have found associations between color discrimination deficits and cognitive impairments besides aging. However, investigations into the microstructural pathology of brain white matter (WM) associated with these deficits remain limited. This study aimed to examine the microstructural characteristics of WM in the non-demented population with abnormal color discrimination, utilizing Neurite Orientation Dispersion and Density Imaging (NODDI), and to explore their correlations with cognitive functions and cognition-related plasma biomarkers. The tract-based spatial statistic analysis revealed significant differences in specific brain regions between the abnormal color discrimination group and the healthy controls, characterized by increased isotropic volume fraction and decreased neurite density index and orientation dispersion index. Further analysis of region-of-interest parameters revealed that the isotropic volume fraction in the bilateral anterior thalamic radiation, superior longitudinal fasciculus, cingulum, and forceps minor was significantly correlated with poorer performance on neuropsychological assessments and to varying degrees various cognition-related plasma biomarkers. These findings provide neuroimaging evidence that WM microstructural abnormalities in non-demented individuals with abnormal color discrimination are associated with cognitive dysfunction, potentially serving as early markers for cognitive decline.

Objective:To explore the short-term clinical effects of deep cervical lymph node-venous anastomosis in the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease (AD).Methods:A prospective exploratory study was conducted on the treatment of AD patients using the cervical deep lymph node-venous anastomosis technique in Scar and Wound Treatment Department, Plastic Surgery Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, from September to October 2024. The patients underwent high-frequency ultrasound to locate deep cervical lymph nodes and the external jugular vein. Under general anesthesia, bilateral deep cervical lymph node-venous anastomoses were performed. Indocyanine green (ICG) lymphography was conducted via subcutaneous injection behind the ear to visualize lymph nodes in levels Ⅱ and Ⅲ. After making a skin incision along the posterior margin of the sternocleidomastoid muscle, the external jugular vein, internal jugular veins, and associated lymph nodes were exposed. Adjacent veins were selected for anastomosis of lymph node. Using microsurgical techniques, end-to-side or end-to-end anastomosis was completed for lymph nodes in levels Ⅱ and Ⅲ. Preoperative assessments included the mini-mental state examination (MMSE, a higher score indicates better cognitive function), Alzheimer’s disease assessment scale-cognitive subscale (ADAS-Cog, a higher score indicates greater impairment of cognitive function), Alzheimer’s disease cooperative study scale for activities of daily living (ADCS-ADL, a higher score indicates better ability to perform daily activity), and neuropsychiatric inventory (NPI, a higher score indicates more severe behavioral and emotional symptom). Postoperative follow-up included the same scales to observe changes in cognitive function, activities of daily living, and emotional communication.Results:Four patients (1 male, 3 females, aged 58-79 years) with AD were included. All were diagnosed based on cerebrospinal fluid biomarkers. All patients successfully underwent bilateral deep cervical lymph node-venous anastomoses. On average, 4.3 (2-7 per person) anastomoses were performed per patient. Surgical procedures lasted an average of 6.5 h (5.5-8.5 h) with minimal blood loss (less than 50 ml). Patients resumed normal activity within 6 hours postoperatively and were discharged after an average of 4.1 d (3.5-5.0 d). Postoperative complications included one case each of aspiration pneumonia, lower limb venous thrombosis, and transient delirium, all of whom resolved without long-term effects. Clinical symptoms, including memory decline, mood swings, and anxiety, showed varying degrees of improvement. Patients reported enhanced quality of life, emotional stability, and social engagement, confirming the procedure’s safety and potential cognitive benefits. At one month postoperatively, the MMSE scores of the four patients increased by an average of 0.8 points compared to preoperative levels. Additionally, the two patients who completed the ADAS-Cog assessments showed a decrease in their scores (reduced by 1.0 points and 11.3 points, respectively, compared to preoperative scores), indicating a certain degree of improvement in cognitive function during this period. The ADCS-ADL and NPI scores of four patients varied significantly, without showing any clear pattern.Conclusion:Lymphovenous anastomosis of the deep cervical lymph node-venous anastomosis may provide a new surgical intervention approach for AD, but further large-scale studies and long-term follow-up are needed to validate its safety and effectiveness.

Objective:To investigate the impact of sliding distance of the fmoral neck system (FNS) on the curative efficacy of displaced femoral neck fractures.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of the 179 patients with displaced femoral neck fracture who had been treated by FNS fixation at Department of Orthopaedics, The Second General Hospital of Fuzhou between September 2019 and September 2023. Based on the FNS sliding distance measured on X-ray films on the day after surgery or one day after surgery, the patients were assigned into 2 groups: a short sliding distance group [sliding distance ≤5 mm, n=55; 35 males, 20 females; median age: 50.0 (34.0, 59.0) years; body mass index (BMI): (24.0±2.4) kg/m 2] and a long sliding distance group [5 mm 0.05). At postoperative 3, 6, and 12 months, the distances of femoral neck shortening in the short sliding distance group [2.5 (0.7, 3.5) mm, 2.6 (0.7, 3.5) mm, and 2.7 (0.7, 3.5) mm] were significantly shorter than those in the long sliding distance group [3.2 (1.3, 5.7) mm, 3.2 (1.3, 7.1) mm, and 3.2 (1.4, 7.1) mm] ( P<0.05). The incidence of moderate-to-severe shortening at one year after surgery in the long sliding distance group [26.6% (33/124)] was significantly higher than that in the short sliding distance group [3.6%(2/55)] ( P<0.05). No significant differences were found between the 2 groups in tip-apex distance, operation time, intraoperative blood loss, fracture reduction quality, fracture healing time, or incidence of complications ( P>0.05). At the last follow-up, the Harris Hip Score in the short sliding distance group [93.5 (88.7, 96.2) points] was significantly higher than that in the long sliding distance group [90.1 (82.9, 94.9) points] ( P<0.05). Conclusion:In the treatment of displaced femoral neck fractures with FSN fixation, compared with those with a long sliding distance, the patients with a short sliding distance demonstrate superior outcomes in postoperative femoral neck shortening and functional recovery of the hip, but no significant difference in the incidence of complications.

Objective To investigate the perioperative use of antimicrobial agents in class Ⅰ incisional ophthalmic surgeries in secondary first-class and above medical institutions in Shanghai City,and provide a basis for the rational use of antimicrobial agents in such surgeries.Methods Perioperative antimicrobial prophylaxis(PAP)in patients undergoing class Ⅰ incisional ophthalmic surgery reported by secondary first-class and above hospitals in Shanghai City from 2017 to 2022 was collected retrospectively.The prophylactic use rate,types,rationality of selection,and timing of use of antimicrobial agents were analyzed comprehensively.Results From 2017 to 2022,a total of 54 868 cases of class Ⅰ incisional ophthalmic surgeries were reported from secondary first-class and above hospitals in Shanghai City.The PAP rates in tertiary comprehensive hospitals,tertiary specialty hospitals,tertiary traditional Chinese medicine hospitals,and secondary comprehensive hospitals were 4.72％,1.79％,3.22％,and 6.63％,re-spectively.The overall PAP rate showed a yearly decreasing trend,from 6.39％in 2017 to 2.31％in 2021.Among different types of hospitals,the PAP rate in secondary comprehensive hospitals decreased most significantly,from 12.72％in 2017 to 0.53％in 2022.The main types of prophylactic antimicrobial use were first-,second-and third-generation cephalosporins,and quinolones.The rational selection rates of antimicrobial agents were highest in ter-tiary comprehensive hospitals(17.13％)and lowest in tertiary specialty hospitals(1.08％).The PAP rates in sys-temic veins 0.5-1 hour before surgery were highest in tertiary specialty hospitals(88.17％)and lowest in tertiary comprehensive hospitals(71.53％).The withdrawal rates of antimicrobial agents within 24 hours after surgery were highest in tertiary traditional Chinese medicine hospitals(80.87％)and lowest in tertiary specialty hospitals(13.26％).Conclusion The PAP for class Ⅰ incisional ophthalmic surgeries in secondary first-class and above medical institutions in Shanghai City still presents certain irrational phenomena in terms of antimicrobial types and administration routes.The administration rate 0.5-1 hour before surgery and withdrawal rate of antimicrobial agents within 24 hours after surgery need to be further improved.Enhanced management is necessary to promote more rational use of antimicrobial agents.

Objective To explore the effect of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α(HIF-1α)inhibitor LW6 on ferroptosis in septic cardiomyopathy rats.Methods Rat septic cardiomyopathy model was prepared using cecal ligation and puncture(CLP)method.Thirty-six specific pathogen-free(SPF)6-8 weeks male SD rats were randomly divided into the sham-operated group,CLP group,CLP+solvent group,LW6 group,ferrostatin-1(Fer-1)group,and LW6+Fer-1 group.The degree of myocardial damage in each group was evaluated through hematoxylin-eosin stai-ning and detection of lactate dehydrogenase and creatine kinase content in cardiac tissue.Myocardial mitochondrial damage was observed by transmission electron microscopy.Ferroptosis level was determined by detecting iron ion concentration,reduced glutathione,malondialdehyde,and reactive oxygen species.Protein expression levels of HIF-1α,solute carrier family 7 member 11(SLC7A11),and glutathione peroxidase 4(GPX4)in cardiac tissue were detected by Western blotting.Results Compared with the CLP group and the CLP+solvent group,the LW6 group could ameliorate myocardial damage,alleviate mitochondrial damage,inhibit ferroptosis-related indicators(all P＜0.05),reduce HIF-1α protein expression levels(P＜0.05),and enhance SLC7A11 and GPX4 protein expression levels(both P＜0.05).Conclusion LW6 decreases HIF-1α expression and ferroptosis levels through the SLC7A11/GPX4 pathway,and ameliorates sepsis-induced cardiomyopathy.

BACKGROUND:Our previous research found that Tougu Xiaotong Capsules can be used not only for the treatment of osteoarthritis,but also for rheumatoid arthritis and gouty arthritis.However,the specific mechanism of action of"Same Treatment for Different Diseases"is still unclear.OBJECTIVE:To identify the main effects and mechanisms of Tougu Xiaotong Capsules in the treatment of osteoarthritis,rheumatoid arthritis and gouty arthritis with the treating principle of"Same Treatment for Different Diseases"by the methodologies of integrated pharmacology,molecular docking techniques and molecular dynamics simulation.METHODS:The active chemical components of Tougu Xiaotong Capsules and their corresponding targets were retrieved from the Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database and Analysis Platform(TCMSP)and the Swiss Target Prediction database.The disease genes for osteoarthritis,rheumatoid arthritis and gouty arthritis were obtained from the GeneCards and OMIM databases.Cytoscape 3.7.2 software was used to construct a drug-component-disease-target network diagram and a protein-protein interaction network.Gene ontology analysis and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes enrichment analysis were conducted using the Daivd database.Molecular docking simulations were performed on the CB-DOCK2 website,and molecular dynamics simulations were carried out using the GROMACS 2020.6 software.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)A total of 50 active components of Tougu Xiaotong Capsules were screened,with 184 potential targets and 29 intersection targets across the three types of arthritis.(2)The gene ontology enrichment analysis of the intersection targets indicated that the key gene functions of Tougu Xiaotong Capsules in treating the three types of arthritis were found to be cellular response to lipopolysaccharide,inflammatory response,extracellular matrix,protein binding,and zinc ion binding.(3)Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes enrichment analysis identified key pathways as interleukin-17 signaling pathway,tumor necrosis factor signaling pathway,NOD-like receptor and Toll-like receptor signaling pathways.(4)Six core targets[interleukin-6,interleukin-1β,prostaglandin endoperoxide synthase 1,prostaglandin endoperoxide synthase 2,cytochrome P450 1A2(CYP1A2)and C-X-C chemokine ligand 8]were determined based on the protein-protein interaction network.(5)Molecular docking results confirmed that(+)-catechin,β-sitosterol,kaempferol,myricetin,and wallichilide had good structure-activity relationships.Molecular dynamics simulations further confirmed the stable binding of CYP1A2 with wallichilide,corroborating the network pharmacology and molecular docking results.Therefore,Tougu Xiaotong Capsules may regulate the interleukin-17 signaling pathway,tumor necrosis factor signaling pathway,and other signaling pathways by targeting interleukin-1β,prostaglandin endoperoxide synthase 1,prostaglandin endoperoxide synthase 2 and CYP1A2,exert an effect of"Same Treatment for Different Diseases"on osteoarthritis,rheumatoid arthritis and gouty arthritis.
