BACKGROUND:Magnetic nanomaterials,as a hot topic in the biomedical field in recent years,are often used to enhance the targeted delivery of drugs to the affected area.OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of magnetic nano drug carriers on skeletal muscle injury markers and inflammatory responses in rats with sports injuries.METHODS:Magnetic nanoparticles were prepared.A total of 88 male SD rats were randomly divided into a blank group(n=8),an injury control group(n=32),a Yunnan Baiyao group(n=24),and a magnetic nano-drug carrier group(n=24)by using a random number table method.The latter three groups were modeled with exercise-induced muscle injury(treadmill slope of-16°,running speed of 16 m/min,and training time of 120 min).Immediately after exercise,after verifying the success of the model,Yunnan Baiyao patch was applied to the gastrocnemius muscle of the rats in the Yunnan Baiyao group.Yunnan Baiyao patch loaded with magnetic nanoparticles was applied to the gastrocnemius muscle of the rats in the magnetic nano-drug carrier group.At 24,48,and 120 hours after exercise,blood was drawn from the abdominal aorta of rats to detect the activities of creatine kinase and lactate dehydrogenase,as well as the levels of myoglobin,interleukin-6,and tumor necrosis factor-α.Hematoxylin-eosin staining was used to observe the infiltration of inflammatory cells in the gastrocnemius muscle.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Compared with the blank group,the levels of myoglobin,creatine kinase,lactate dehydrogenase and tumor necrosis factorα in the injury control group at 24,48 and 120 hours after exercise were increased(P＜0.05),and the level of interleukin 6 at 24 and 120 hours after exercise was increased(P＜0.05).Compared with the injury control group,the level of myoglobin in the Yunnan Baiyao group at 24 and 48 hours after exercise was decreased(P＜0.05),the activities of creatine kinase and lactate dehydrogenase at 24,48 and 120 hours were decreased(P＜0.05),and the levels of interleukin 6 and tumor necrosis factor α at 120 hours after exercise were decreased(P＜0.05).Compared with the Yunnan Baiyao group,the level of myoglobin in the magnetic nano-drug carrier group at 24 and 48 hours after exercise was decreased(P＜0.05),the activities of creatine kinase and tumor necrosis factor α at 48 and 120 hours after exercise were decreased(P＜0.05),and the lactate dehydrogenase activity was reduced(P＜0.05).(2)Hematoxylin-eosin staining showed that a large number of inflammatory cells infiltrated in the muscle fibers of the injury control group 24 hours after exercise,and then the inflammatory cell infiltration gradually decreased,and the local damaged muscle fibers began to regenerate 120 hours after exercise.A large number of inflammatory cells infiltrated in the muscle fibers of the Yunnan Baiyao group and the magnetic nano-drug carrier group 24 hours after exercise,and then the inflammatory cell infiltration gradually decreased,and the damaged muscle fibers were regenerating 120 hours after exercise,and there was no significant difference from the blank group.(3)The results show that Yunnan Baiyao patch combined with magnetic nanoparticles can accelerate the recovery of exercise-induced muscle injury in rats,and the effect is better than that of Yunnan Baiyao alone.

This article reported a case of deafness, dystonia, and central hypomyelination (DDCH) caused by BCAP31 gene mutation. The patient was a 57-day-old male infant with obvious feeding difficulties, delayed growth and development, and elevated liver enzyme levels. Whole-exome sequencing revealed a de novo heterozygous mutation of c.32(exon2)delT/p.F11Sfs*34(NM_001256447) in the BCAP31 gene. His mother carried the heterozygous mutation, while his father had the wild-type gene. Based on clinical manifestations, a diagnosis of DDCH was made. The patient was treated with nutritional support, liver protection treatment, and symptomatic therapy and discharged at 93 days of age. A telephone follow-up two weeks after discharge reported that the infant still had feeding problems, had not gained any weight, cried a lot, and was hard to be soothed when crying. The infant died at 121 days of age.

Objective: To analyze differences in the expression levels of lipid metabolism-related proteins in adi- pose tissue exosomes between obese mice and wild-type mice using proteomic techniques . Methods: Wild-type (WT) and obese (ob/ob) model mice of the same age were selected , with 8 mice per group . Adipose tissue from both groups was minced and cultured for 48 hours . Conditioned media was collected , and exosomes were isolated u- sing differential centrifugation . Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry ( LC-MS/MS) was utilized for proteomic analysis to screen differentially expressed proteins ( DEPs) . Gene ontology ( GO) enrichment analysis and kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis were performed on the DEPs . Heatmaps were generated to visualize DEPs expression patterns , and Western blot was employed to validate DEPs expression levels . Results: Exosomes were successfully extracted from the culture supernatant of adipose tissues from mice in the WT group and the ob/ob group . Mass spectrometry analysis identified a total of 25 629 peptides and 3 376 proteins . Compared with the WT group , there were 699 proteins with high expression and 632 proteins with low expression in the exosomes derived from adipose tissues of ob/ob mice . Both GO and KEGG analyses showed that DEPs were mainly enriched in metabolic pathways . Heatmap analysis visualized the expression patterns of metabolism-related DEPs , and the expression levels of lipid metabolism-related proteins such as acyl-CoA syn- thetase long-chain family member 1 (ACSL1) , apolipoprotein E (ApoE) , and albumin (Alb) changed significant- ly in the obese state (P < 0. 05) . Western blot verification results showed that the expression of ApoE and Alb pro- teins in the adipose tissue-derived exosomes of ob/ob mice decreased ( P < 0. 01) . Conclusion In the obese state , the expression levels of lipid metabolism-related proteins in mouse adipose tissue exosomes are significantly altered . These differentially expressed proteins may thus serve as potential molecular targets for treating obesity and its associated metabolic complications .

With the deepening of population aging， the number of disabled and semi-disabled elderly individuals continues to increase， and the ethical care issues of mental health services for the disabled elderly are becoming increasingly prominent. When examining ethical issues， the concept of the “holistic view of traditional Chinese medicine” from ancient Chinese traditional culture was explored. While applying theories from the holistic view of traditional Chinese medicine， such as “the unity of form and spirit” and “the integration of form and spirit，” emphasis should be placed on the organic integration of psychology and physiology. The mental health status of the disabled elderly can be comprehensively improved by addressing both internal and external environmental factors. In response to the current situation of mental health services for the disabled elderly， ethical care should be provided for the mental health services of the disabled elderly， focusing on the value of subjectivity， difference， and continuity in ethical care， thereby improving the mental health status of the disabled elderly.

Objective To explore the association between the controlling nutritional status(CONUT)score and diabetic retinopathy(DR),and analyze gender differences in this relationship among type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)patients,assessing the clinical appli-cation value of the CONUT score as a tool for evaluating nutritional status in DR.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 1526 patients with T2DM admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Yangtze University from January 2022 to September 2024.The patients were categorized into the DR group(n=587)and the non-DR group(n=939)based on the presence of DR.Clini-cal data such as gender,age,educational level,and laboratory parameters were collected,and CONUT scores were calculated.Multivari-ate Logistic regression model and restricted cubic splines(RCS)were employed to assess the relationship between CONUT scores and DR,with stratified and subgroup analyses performed based on gender.Results A significant positive association was found between CONUT scores and the risk of DR.After adjusting for all covariates,higher CONUT scores were significantly associated with an increased risk of DR in male patients(OR=1.215,95％CI:1.030-1.438).The RCS results indicated a linear positive association between CONUT scores and the risk of DR in the general population(Pnonlinear=0.247)and males(Pnonlinear=0.466).Subgroup analysis revealed that the effect of CONUT scores on the risk of DR risk was more pronounced in male patients who were under 60 years of age,had a high school ed-ucation,did not have cardiovascular disease,had a body mass index below 25kg/m2,and were not using hypoglycemic agents.Conclusion The CONUT score effectively assesses the risk of DR in male T2DM patients,demonstrating its application value in clinical practice.
