BACKGROUND:Exosomes are nanoscale extracellular vesicles secreted by various types of cells,with advantages such as high bioavailability,low toxicity,low immunogenicity,and good biocompatibility.However,natural exosomes have certain limitations in clinical therapy.By using bioengineering techniques to modify and engineer exosomes,the engineered exosomes not only improve their original therapeutic effects but also exhibit excellent biostability and targeting specificity,showing great potential for application in the field of tissue repair.OBJECTIVE:To summarize the various strategies for engineering exosomes,including functional loading and surface modification,outline the research progress of engineered exosomes in different tissue repairs,and explore the therapeutic potential of engineered exosomes in tissue repair.METHODS:PubMed database was searched for relevant literature published between 2010 and 2024 using the search terms"engineered exosomes,tissue repair,biomaterials,tissue engineering,wound healing,parenchyma,bone regeneration,cartilage,neural,myocardial,hepatic."Studies that were not closely related to the article's theme,of poor quality,repetitive,or outdated were excluded.A total of 115 articles met the inclusion criteria.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Functional loading is used to combine therapeutic molecules with exosomes to obtain additional properties or to enhance the original physiological function of the exosome,among which ultrasonication and extrusion are simple to operate and can obtain higher drug loading capacity at the same time.(2)Surface modification can make exosomes express desired proteins or enhance their targeting,including genetic engineering and chemical modification.Genetic engineering is complicated,poorly reproducible,and the end product is poorly controllable.Chemical modification,on the other hand,is relatively simple and versatile,and is more suitable for designing highly targeted and functionally specific engineered exosomes.(3)Among the techniques for pre-treating cells to obtain engineered exosomes,hypoxic pre-treatment is more widely used because of its simplicity and clearer mechanism,which can activate glycolysis to promote cell proliferation,and regulate the vascular endothelial growth factor receptor signaling pathway through the generation of hypoxia-inducible factors to promote angiogenesis.(4)The function of exosomes is affected by various factors such as cell source,cell state,synthesis process,and extracellular environment.If the engineering strategy is complicated,it is more difficult to ensure the functional consistency of the final engineered exosomes,so the relatively simple and reliable engineering strategy is more suitable for its clinical application.(5)Engineered exosomes combined with biomaterials or scaffolds can be used to treat complex wounds of skin soft tissue,such as infected wounds and diabetic ulcers.This approach enhances exosome delivery and controls their release,promotes tissue repair,controls infection,and regulates the local microenvironment of the wound.(6)A single mechanism of engineered exosomes is often ineffective due to the specificity of the bone tissue fracture,so dual or even multi-functional engineered exosomes are needed to promote fracture repair while anti-inflammatory or remodeling the vascular system.(7)The source of exosomes has a significant impact on neural tissue repair.Exosomes derived from different neural cells promote neural repair through different effects.In addition,the combination of stents and engineered exosomes for traumatic brain injury has obvious advantages,the stent itself provides hemostasis and support,combined with the engineered exosomes itself to promote the repair effect,can obtain better therapeutic effect.(8)In cardiac and hepatic tissue repair,it is needed to develop anti-fibrotic engineered exosomes to resist the abnormal repair of cardiac and hepatic tissues themselves,which will require further research in the future.

Objective: This study aims to investigate the anatomical relationship among the nerve roots, intervertebral space, pedicles, and intradural rootlets of the cervical spine for improving operative outcomes and exploring neuroventral decompression approach in posterior endoscopic cervical discectomy (PECD). Methods: Cervical computed tomography myelography imaging data from January 2021 to May 2023 were collected, and the RadiAnt DICOM Viewer Software was employed to conduct multiplane reconstruction. The following parameters were recorded: width of nerve root (WN), nerve root-superior pedicle distance (NSPD), nerve root-inferior pedicle distance (NIPD), and the relationship between the intervertebral space and the nerve root (shoulder, anterior, and axillary). Additionally, the descending angles between the spinal cord and the ventral (VRA) and dorsal (DRA) rootlets were measured. Results: The WN showed a gradual increase from C4 to C7, with measurements notably larger in men compared to women. The NSPD decreased gradually from the C2–3 to the C5–6 levels. However, the NIPD showed an opposite level-related change, notably larger than the NSPD at the C4–5, C5–6, and C7–T1 levels. Furthermore, significant differences in NIPD were observed between different age groups and genders. The incidence of the anterior type exhibited a gradual decrease from the C2–3 to the C5–6 levels. Conversely, the axillary type exhibited an opposite level-related change. Additionally, the VRA and DRA decreased as the level descended, with measurements significantly larger in females. Conclusion A prediction of the positional relationship between the intervertebral space and the nerve root is essential for the direct neuroventral decompression in PECD to avoid damaging the neural structures. The axillary route of the nerve root offers a safer and more effective pathway for performing direct neuroventral decompression compared to the shoulder approach.

Objective:To investigate the changes of relevant subcortical regions in patients with dysphagia after stroke by diffusion tensor imaging.Methods:This study prospectively selected six patients with dysphagia early after stroke who were admitted to The Second Hospital of Jiaxing from January 2020 to March 2021 (stroke group). During the same period, 15 healthy volunteers were selected as a control group (volunteer group). Both groups underwent diffusion tensor imaging scans. The mean diffusivity, axial diffusivity, fractional anisotropy, and radial diffusivity were compared between the stroke group and the volunteer group, as well as between the affected and unaffected sides within the stroke group.Results:The mean diffusivity did not pass calibration, and no results were obtained.

Furthermore, significant differences in fractional anisotropy were observed in fiber bundles located in the knee of the corpus callosum, the right and left corticospinal tracts, the right superior cerebellar peduncle, the right and left cerebral peduncles, the left anterior limb of the internal capsule, the right and left posterior limbs of the internal capsule, the posterior portion of the right internal capsule around the lentiform nucleus, the right and left anterior corona radiata, the right and left superior corona radiata, the right and left posterior corona radiata, the right external capsule, and the left uncinate fasciculus ( t = 3.86, 7.54, 3.62, 3.77, 7.72, 3.77, 3.77, 10.86, 6.26, 5.17, 5.03, 3.77, 8.79, 5.03, 5.52, 3.62, 6.91, 4.14, all P < 0.05). Additionally, radial diffusivity differed significantly between the two groups in fiber bundles located in the middle cerebellar peduncle, the left medial lemniscus, the right and left anterior limbs of the internal capsule, the right and left posterior limbs of the internal capsule, the posterior part of the right internal capsule surrounding the lentiform nucleus, the right superior corona radiata, the left sagittal stratum, the right external capsule, and the left external capsule ( t = 4.34, 3.14, 15.71, 7.54, 19.49, 6.91, 12.07, 11.31, 8.69, 17.87, 10.68, all P < 0.05). Conclusions:White matter integrity in subcortical structures is extensively impaired in patients with dysphagia following a stroke.
