Objective To explore the mechanism of excessive mechanical stress regulated ferroptosis induced by Piezo1 channel in mouse chondrocytes.Methods The experiment was performed on mouse ATDC5 chondrocytes.siRNA-Piezo1 interference plasmid and Piezo1 overexpression plasmid were used to transfect chondrocytes,and mechanical stress stimulation was given.The control group,the mechanical stress stimulation group(MS group),the MS+siRNA-Piezo1 group(MS+sh group)and the MS+Piezo1 overexpression group(MS+OV group)were constructed,respectively.The cell viability,Fe2+,ROS levels,the expression of ferroptosis-related proteins SLC7A11 and GPX4,and the expression of Collagen Ⅱ,MMP-13,Aggrecan and p53 proteins were detected in each group.Results Compared with the control group,the cell viability was decreased in the MS group(P<0.05).Levels of Fe2+,reactive oxygen species(ROS)and malondialdehyde(MDA)were increased(P<0.05).Levels of reduced glutathione(GSH)and superoxide dismutase(SOD)were decreased(P<0.05),and the mitochondrial ridge was decreased detected by transmission electron microscopy.Protein levels of SLC7A11,GPX4,Collagen Ⅱ and Aggrecan were decreased(P<0.05),while protein levels of p53 and MMP-13 were increased(P<0.05).Compared with the MS group,Fe2+,ROS and MDA levels were decreased in the MS+sh group(P<0.05),GSH and SOD levels were increased(P<0.05),and protein levels of SLC7A11,Collagen Ⅱ,GPX4 and Aggrecan were increased(P<0.05).The protein levels of MMP-13 and p53 were decreased(P<0.05).Compared with the MS group,cell viability was decreased(P<0.05),Fe2+,ROS and MDA levels were increased(P<0.05),GSH and SOD levels were decreased(P<0.05),and protein levels of SLC7A11,Collagen Ⅱ,GPX4 and Aggrecan were decreased in the MS+OV group(P<0.05).Levels of MMP-13 and p53 protein were increased(P<0.05).Conclusion Excessive mechanical stress can induce chondrocyte ferroptosis and promote extracellular matrix degradation via Piezo1 channel protein.

Objective:To investigate the value of digital medical 3D technology versus traditional 2D technology in the diagnosis and treatment of solid abdominal tumors in children. Methods:A total of 80 children with solid abdominal tumors who received surgical treatment guided by digital medical 3D technology at Guigang People's Hospital from January 2018 to January 2022 were included in the observation group. An additional 80 children with solid abdominal tumors who received surgical treatment guided by traditional 2D technology at the same hospital from January 2014 to December 2017 were included in the control group. Clinical efficacy was compared between the two groups.Results:The surgical time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative exhaust time, postoperative hospital stay in the observation group were (111.8 ± 28.9) minutes, (26.8 ± 25.2) mL, (2.2 ± 1.2) days, (7.5 ± 1.4) days, respectively, which were significantly shorter or less than those in the control group [(193.1 ± 66.0) minutes, (86.2 ± 47.0) mL, (3.7 ± 0.9) days, (12.2 ± 3.5) days, t = 7.00, 6.88, 5.87, 7.53, all P < 0.05]. The complete surgical resection rate in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group [92.5% (74/80) vs. 81.3% (65/80), χ2 = 4.44, P < 0.05]. The incidence of complications in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group [6.3% (5/80) vs. 16.3% (13/80), χ2 = 4.00, P < 0.05]. Conclusion:The utilization of digital medical 3D technology in the surgical treatment of solid abdominal tumors in children can markedly decrease surgical time, reduce intraoperative blood loss, promote postoperative recovery, achieve a high surgical resection rate, and minimize postoperative complications.
