ObjectiveThis study aims to investigate the action mechanism by which Xiaozheng Zhitong paste （XZP） alleviates bone cancer pain （BCP） by regulating programmed death protein 1 （PD-1）/programmed death-ligand 1 （PD-L1） pathway-induced osteoclast formation. MethodsThirty female C57BL/6 mice were randomly allocated into the following groups （n=6 per group）： normal control group， model group， low‑dose XZP group （31.5 g·kg^-1）， high‑dose XZP group （63 g·kg^-1）， and PD‑1 inhibitor （Niv） group. A bone cancer pain （BCP） model was established by injecting Lewis lung carcinoma cells. Mice in the normal control and model groups received topical application of a blank paste matrix at the wound site. Mice in the low‑ and high‑dose XZP groups were treated with XZP applied topically twice daily. Mice in the Niv group were topically administered the blank paste matrix and additionally received Niv via tail‑vein injection every two days. All interventions were continued for 21 days. During this period， behavioral tests were performed to assess mechanical， motor， and thermal nociceptive sensitivities. After 21 days， all mice were euthanized， and bone tissue from the operated side was collected for sectioning and preservation. Tartrate‑resistant acid phosphatase （TRAP） staining was used to evaluate osteoclast expression in the lesioned bone tissue. Immunohistochemistry was performed to detect the expression of Runt‑related transcription factor 2 （Runx2） in the lesioned bone tissue. Immunofluorescence was employed to assess the expression of PD‑1 and PD‑L1 in the lesioned bone tissue. ResultsCompared with the normal group， the model group showed significantly decreased limb mechanical withdrawal threshold， spontaneous paw flinching， and thermal withdrawal latency （P<0.01）， increased number of osteoclasts in the lesioned bone tissue （P<0.01）， and reduced expression of Runx2 （P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， the BCP mice in the XZP low-dose group， XZP high-dose group， and Niv group exhibited increased limb mechanical withdrawal threshold， movement scores， and thermal withdrawal latency （P<0.01）. The XZP low-dose group showed no significant changes in osteoclast number or Runx2 expression， while the XZP high-dose group and Niv group demonstrated significantly reduced osteoclast numbers （P<0.01） and significantly increased Runx2 expression （P<0.01）. In the lesioned bone tissue of BCP mice， the XZP low-dose group showed no significant decrease in the percentage of PD-1 expression， but a decrease in the percentage of PD-L1 expression （P<0.05）. In contrast， both the XZP high-dose group and the Niv group exhibited significant reductions in the percentages of PD-1 and PD-L1 expression （P<0.01）. ConclusionXZP alleviates the pain of mice with BCP by blocking the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway to inhibit osteoclastogenesis.

ObjectiveThe paper aims to investigate the mechanism by which Xiaozheng Zhitong paste （XZP） alleviates bone cancer pain （BCP） through regulating the PTEN-induced putative kinase 1 （PINK1）/Parkin-mediated mitophagy-NOD-like receptor protein 3 （NLRP3） inflammasome pathway to suppress microglial pyroptosis. MethodsLipopolysaccharide （LPS） and LPS-adenosine triphosphate （ATP） were used to establish an inflammation and pyroptosis model in microglial cells. The cells were randomly divided into the following groups： control group， LPS group， LPS+low-dose XZP group， LPS+high-dose XZP group， LPS-ATP group， LPS-ATP+low-dose XZP group， LPS-ATP+high-dose XZP group， LPS-ATP+XZP group， and LPS-ATP+XZP+CsA group. Techniques including terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick-end labeling （TUNEL） staining， enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）， Western blot， and confocal fluorescence staining were employed to assess the effects of XZP on microglial apoptosis， inflammatory cytokine release， inflammasome activation， pyroptosis， and mitophagy. ResultsIn vitro experiments showed that compared with the blank group， the LPS group exhibited significantly increased levels of microglial apoptosis and pro-inflammatory factors interleukin （IL）-1β， IL-6， and tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α）（P<0.01）， along with significantly upregulated protein expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase （iNOS）， cyclooxygenase-2 （COX-2）， and phosphorylated nuclear factor-κB p65 （p-NF-κB p65） （P<0.01）. Compared with the LPS group， the high-dose LPS-XZP group significantly reduced the level of apoptosis （P<0.01） and the content of the aforementioned pro-inflammatory factors （P<0.01）. Both the low- and high-dose LPS-XZP groups dose-dependently downregulated the protein expression of iNOS， COX-2， and p-NF-κB p65 （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Compared with the blank group， the LPS-ATP group showed significantly upregulated expression of pyroptosis-related proteins， including Caspase-1/pro-Caspase-1， N-terminal fragment of gasdermin D （GSDMD-N）/full-length gasdermin D （GSDMD-F）， NLRP3， apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a CARD （ASC）， IL-1β precursor （pro-IL-1β）， and mature IL-1β （P<0.01）. The levels of pyroptotic factors IL-1β and IL-18 were significantly elevated （P<0.01）， and membrane pore formation and intracellular reactive oxygen species （ROS） levels were significantly increased （P<0.01）. Compared with the LPS-ATP group， both the low- and high-dose LPS-ATP+XZP groups dose-dependently downregulated the expression of the aforementioned pyroptosis-related proteins （P<0.05， P<0.01）. The low-dose LPS-ATP+XZP group reduced IL-1β levels （P<0.01）， while the high-dose group reduced both IL-1β and IL-18 levels （P<0.01） Both the low- and high-dose LPS-ATP+XZP groups dose-dependently reduced membrane pore formation and intracellular ROS production （P<0.01）. Compared with the blank group， the LPS-ATP group showed significantly reduced expression of mitophagy-related proteins PINK1 and Parkin， and a decreased ratio of microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3Ⅱ（LC3Ⅱ） to LC3Ⅰ（P<0.01）， while p62 expression was significantly increased （P<0.01）. Mitochondrial ROS levels were significantly enhanced （P<0.01）. Compared with the LPS-ATP group， both the low- and high-dose LPS-ATP+XZP groups dose-dependently reversed the expression of these proteins （P<0.05， P<0.01） and reduced mitochondrial ROS levels （P<0.01）. After treatment with the mitophagy inhibitor cyclosporin A （CsA）， the beneficial effects of XZP on mitochondrial function and its inhibitory effects on pyroptosis-related protein expression were significantly reversed （P<0.05， P<0.01）. ConclusionXZP reduces ROS levels by activating PINK1/Parkin-mediated mitophagy， thereby inhibiting NLRP3 inflammasome activation and microglial pyroptosis， which provides new molecular evidence for the mechanism by which XZP alleviates BCP.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects and underlying mechanisms of Xiaozheng Zhitong Paste （XZP） on bone cancer pain （BCP）. MethodsThirty female BALB/c mice were randomly divided into five groups： a Sham group， a BCP group， a BCP+low-dose XZP group， a BCP+high-dose XZP group， and a BCP+high-dose XZP + protease-activated receptor 2 （PAR2） agonist GB-110 group. BCP mice model was constructed by injecting Lewis lung carcinoma cells into the femoral cavity of the right leg， which was followed by being treated with XZP for 21 d. After 21 d， the mice were sacrificed. Nissl staining was used to evaluate the survival of spinal cord neurons. Immunofluorescence staining was conducted to localize ionized calcium-binding adapter molecule 1 （Iba1） and neuronal nuclear antigen （NeuN） in spinal cord tissue， thereby assessing microglial activation and neuronal survival. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA） was employed to measure the levels of interleukin-1β （IL-1β）， tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α）， interleukin-6 （IL-6）， transforming growth factor-β （TGF-β）， interleukin-4 （IL-4）， and interleukin-10 （IL-10） in spinal cord tissue. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR） was used to detect mRNA expression levels associated with M1/M2 polarization of microglia. Western blot analysis was performed to examine the expression of proteins related to microglial polarization as well as those involved in the PAR2/nuclear factor kappa B （NF-κB）/NOD-like receptor protein 3 （NLRP3） signaling pathway in the spinal cord. ResultsCompared with the Sham group， the spinal cord neurons were damaged， the number of Nissl-positive spinal cord neurons in the spinal cord tissue was significantly reduced （P<0.01）， and the rate of NeuN-positive cells was significantly decreased （P<0.01）. The spinal cord microglia were activated， the inflammatory level of the spinal cord tissue was enhanced， and Iba1 staining was significantly enhanced （P<0.01）. The levels of IL-1β， TNF-α， IL-6， TGF-β， IL-4 and IL-10 were significantly increased （P<0.01）. The mRNA expressions of IL-1β， TNF-α and inducible nitric oxide synthase （iNOS） were significantly increased （P<0.01）， and the expression of PAR2， NLRP3， ASC and NF-κB p65 proteins in the spinal cord tissue of the BCP mice was significantly enhanced （P<0.01）. Compared with the BCP group， high-dose XZP treatment significantly increased the number of Nissl-positive spinal cord neurons in the BCP mice （P<0.01）， significantly enhanced the rate of NeuN-positive cells in the spinal cord tissue， and significantly weakened Iba1 staining （P<0.01）. In addition， the levels of IL-1β， TNF-α， and IL-6 were significantly decreased， while the levels of TGF-β， IL-4， and IL-10 were significantly increased （P<0.05， P<0.01）. The mRNA expression levels of IL-1β， TNF-α， and iNOS were decreased， whereas those of cluster of differentiation 206 （CD206）， arginase-1 （Arg-1）， and YM1/2 were significantly increased （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Low-dose and high-dose XZP treatment significantly decreased the expression of PAR2， NLRP3， ASC， and NF-κB p65 proteins in the spinal cord tissue （P<0.05， P<0.01）. These effects could all be significantly eliminated by the PAR2 agonist GB-110. ConclusionXZP can mitigate BCP in mice， which may be achieved through blocking the activated PAR2/NF-κB/NLRP3 pathway.

ObjectiveThe paper aims to investigate the action mechanism by which the Xiaozheng Zhitong paste （XZP） relieves bone cancer pain （BCP）. MethodsA model of mice with BCP was established by using Lewis tumor cells. The therapeutic effects of XZP， the ferroptosis inhibitor Ferrostatin-1 （Fer-1）， and the nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 （Nrf2） inhibitor Brusatol （Bru） on BCP were examined. Mice were randomly divided into the Sham operation group， BCP group， BCP+XZP-L group， BCP+XZP-H group， BCP+Fer-1 group， and BCP+XZP-H+Bru group， with six mice in each group. Pain behavior tests were conducted on the mice to assess pain levels. Colorimetric assays were employed to measure ferroptosis-related factors in serum and spinal cord tissue including Fe， malondialdehyde （MDA）， reactive oxygen species （ROS）， and superoxide dismutase （SOD）. Immunofluorescence staining was used to assess ROS production in spinal cord tissue. Transmission electron microscopy was used to observe the ultrastructure of mitochondria in lumbar spinal cord tissue. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR） was employed to detect mRNA expression of Nrf2， heme oxygenase-1 （HO-1）， glutathione peroxidase 4 （GPX4）， and solute carrier family 7 member 11 （SLC7A11） in spinal cord neuron tissue. The protein expression of Nrf2， HO-1， GPX4， and SLC7A11 in spinal cord neurons was measured by Western blot. ResultsCompared with the Sham group， mice in the BCP group exhibited significantly reduced limb usage scores， mechanical foot withdrawal thresholds， and thermal foot withdrawal thresholds （P<0.01）. Serum and lumbar spinal cord tissue levels of Fe， MDA， and reactive oxygen species （ROS） were significantly elevated （P<0.05）， while superoxide dismutase （SOD） levels were significantly decreased （P<0.05）. Lumbar spinal cord mitochondrial structural damage was observed， and mRNA and protein expression of Nrf2， HO-1， GPX4， and SLC7A11 were significantly downregulated （P<0.01）. Compared with the BCP group， both low- and high-dose XZP groups improved the aforementioned pain behavioral indicators （P<0.05，P<0.01）， reduced ferroptosis-related biomarkers including Fe， MDA， and ROS levels （P<0.05）， increased SOD levels （P<0.05，P<0.01）， alleviated mitochondrial damage， and upregulated Nrf2， HO-1， GPX4， SLC7A11 mRNA and protein expression （P<0.05，P<0.01）. The high-dose XZP group exhibited comparable efficacy to Fer-1 in alleviating pain and inhibiting ferroptosis. Following Bru administration， XZP's effects on pain behavioral indicators， regulation of ferroptosis-related markers， mitochondrial structural protection， and activation of the Nrf2/HO-1/GPX4/SLC7A11 pathway were significantly reversed （P<0.05，P<0.01）. ConclusionExternal application of XZP alleviates pain symptoms in BCP mice by activating the Nrf2/HO-1/GPX4/SLC7A11 pathway， thereby inhibiting ferroptosis and neuronal damage in spinal cord neurons.

Cancer pain is one of the most common complications in patients with malignant tumors， severely affecting their quality of life. Its pathogenesis involves complex interactions among the tumor microenvironment， peripheral sensitization， and central sensitization. The tumor microenvironment initiates peripheral pain sensitization by secreting algogenic mediators， activating ion channels and related receptor signaling pathways， driving abnormal osteoclast activation， and mediating neuro-immune crosstalk. Persistent nociceptive input further triggers increased excitability of central neurons， activation of glial cells， and neuroinflammatory cascade reactions， ultimately leading to central pain sensitization. Although traditional opioid drugs can alleviate pain to some extent， they still have many limitations， such as incomplete analgesia， drug tolerance， and adverse reactions. In recent years， traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） compounds have made continuous progress in the treatment of cancer pain. Studies have shown that they can not only effectively relieve cancer pain and reduce the dosage of opioids but also significantly improve patients' quality of life. TCM treatment of cancer pain follows the principle of syndrome differentiation and treatment. Based on this， targeted therapeutic principles have been proposed， including promoting blood circulation， removing stasis， regulating Qi， and unblocking collaterals； tonifying the kidney， replenishing essence， warming Yang， and dispersing cold， activating blood， resolving phlegm， detoxifying， and dispersing nodules， as well as strengthening the body， replenishing deficiency， and harmonizing Qi and blood. Modern research indicates that TCM compounds can exert synergistic effects through multiple pathways， inhibiting inflammatory responses， regulating nerve conduction， intervening in bone metabolism and related gene expression， thereby producing anti-inflammatory and bone-protective effects to achieve the goal of alleviating cancer pain. This article systematically elaborates on the pathogenesis of cancer pain， the clinical application of TCM in treating cancer pain， and its related mechanisms of action， aiming to provide a theoretical basis and new strategies for the integration of TCM into comprehensive cancer pain management.

ObjectiveThis study aimed to investigate the effects of 4-week high-intensity interval training (HIIT) on synaptic plasticity in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) of rats exposed to chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS), and to explore its potential mechanisms. MethodsA total of 48 male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into 4 groups: control (C), model (M), control plus HIIT (HC), and model plus HIIT (HM). Rats in groups M and HM underwent 8 weeks of CUMS to establish depression-like behaviors, while groups HC and HM received HIIT intervention beginning from the 5th week for 4 consecutive weeks. The HIIT protocol consisted of repeated intervals of 3 min at high speed (85%-90% maximal training speed, S_max) alternated with one minute at low speed (50%-55% S_max), with 3 to 5 sets per session, conducted 5 d per week. Behavioral assessments and tail-vein blood lactate levels were measured at the end of the 4th and 8th weeks. After the intervention, rat PFC tissues were collected for Golgi staining to analyze synaptic morphology. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) were employed to detect brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), monocarboxylate transporter 1 (MCT1), lactate, and glutamate levels in the PFC, as well as serotonin (5-HT) levels in serum. Additionally, Western blot analysis was conducted to quantify the expression of synaptic plasticity-related proteins, including c-Fos, activity-regulated cytoskeleton-associated protein (Arc), and N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor 1 (NMDAR1). ResultsCompared to the control group (C), the CUMS-exposed rats (group M) exhibited significant reductions in sucrose preference rates, number of grid crossings, frequency of upright postures, and entries into and duration spent in open arms of the elevated plus maze, indicating marked depressive-like behaviors. Additionally, the group M showed significantly reduced dendritic spine density in the PFC, along with elevated levels of c-Fos, Arc, NMDAR1 protein expression, and increased concentrations of lactate and glutamate. Conversely, BDNF and MCT1 contents in the PFC and 5-HT levels in serum were significantly decreased. Following HIIT intervention, rats in the group HM displayed considerable improvement in behavioral indicators compared with the group M, accompanied by significant elevations in PFC MCT1 and lactate concentrations. Furthermore, HIIT notably normalized the expression levels of c-Fos, Arc, NMDAR1, as well as glutamate and BDNF contents in the PFC. Synaptic spine density also exhibited significant recovery. ConclusionFour weeks of HIIT intervention may alleviate depressive-like behaviors in CUMS rats by increasing lactate levels and reducing glutamate concentration in the PFC, thereby downregulating the overexpression of NMDAR, attenuating excitotoxicity, and enhancing synaptic plasticity.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the independent risk factors for carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae （CRKP） infection， develop a nomogram prediction model and validate it. METHODS Clinical data of hospitalized patients infected with CRKP between April 2020 and May 2023 at Kunming First People’s Hospital were retrospectively collected and matched 1∶1 with patients infected with carbapenem-susceptible Klebsiella pneumoniae （CSKP） during the same period as the modeling group. Using the same criteria， data from patients hospitalized and infected with CRKP and matched CSKP between June 2023 and June 2024 were collected as the validation group. Univariate analysis， LASSO regression and multivariate Logistic regression were conducted to identify independent risk factors for CRKP infection and to develop a nomogram prediction model. Internal validation of the model was performed using Bootstrap resampling， and external validation was carried out using the data of validation group. The predictive performance of the model was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic （ROC） curves and calibration plots. RESULTS A total of 530 patients were enrolled， with 372 in the modeling group and 158 in the validation group. Cerebrovascular disease， indwelling gastric tube， mechanical ventilation， exposure to carbapenem antibiotics， and exposure to β-lactamase inhibitor compound agents were identified as independent risk factors for CRKP infection （P＜0.05）. The nomogram predicting CRKP infection risk achieved an area under ROC of 0.729 and 0.803 in internal and external validations， respectively. Calibration curves indicated a high degree of consistency between predicted and observed probabilities. CONCLUSIONS Cerebrovascular disease， indwelling gastric tube， mechanical ventilation， exposure to carbapenem antibiotics， and exposure to β-lactamase inhibitor compound agent are independent risk factors for CRKP infection. The developed nomogram model for predicting CRKP infection risk demonstrates good predictive performance and can aid in the early identification of patients at high risk for CRKP infection.

OBJECTIVE To study the interventional effect and mechanism of 1，8-cineole on pancreatic β cell ferroptosis induced by type 2 diabetes. METHODS In vitro ferroptosis model was established in pancreatic β cells of mice by using high glucose. The effects of low-dose and high-dose 1，8-cineole （0.25， 0.5 μmol/L） on the level of Fe2+ in pancreatic β cells were investigated. The effects of 1，8-cineole （0.5 μmol/L） combined with ferroptosis inducer Erastin （20 μmol/L） and ferroptosis inhibitor Ferrostatin-1 （20 μmol/L） on the protein expressions of glutathione peroxidase-4 （GPX4） and cyclooxygenase-2 （COX2） were also detected. The type 2 diabetes model mice were established by feeding high-sugar and high-fat diet combined with intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin. The effects of low-dose and high-dose 1，8-cineole （50， 200 mg/kg） on the pathological morphology of pancreatic tissue， the content of iron as well as the protein expressions of GPX4 and COX2 were investigated. RESULTS The results of the cell experiment showed that compared with the model group， pretreatment with 1，8-cineole significantly reduced intracellular Fe2+ levels and upregulated GPX4 protein expression， while downregulated COX2 protein expression in pancreatic β cells （P＜0.05）. After combining with Ferrostatin-1， the expression trends of the above two proteins were the same， while there was no statistically significant difference after combining with Erastin. The results of animal experiments showed that compared with the model group， after intervention with 1，8-cineole， the structure of the pancreatic islets in mice recovered intact and their morphology improved； the iron content of pancreatic tissue and protein expression of COX2 were decreased significantly （P＜0.05）， while protein expression of GPX4 was increased significantly （P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS 1，8-cineole could ameliorate pancreatic β cell injury induced by diabetes， the mechanism of which may be related to reducing intracellular iron deposition and regulating ferroptosis-related proteins.
