Liquiritigenin(LG)is a flavone of pharmacological importance,however,its application potential is severely limited due to its poor water solubility.LG could be disassociated slightly in water to form phenolate anion,therefore,better solubilization effect is expected by inclusion with cationic cyclodextrins(CCDs).In this work,four kinds of CCDs modified with amino groups at the primary face were synthesized,and their solid inclusion complexes with LG were successfully prepared by preparing their saturated solutions.The formation of the solid inclusion complexes was confirmed by scanning electron microscopy(SEM)and powder X-ray diffraction(PXRD),and their supramolecular binding behavior in solution was studied using multiple techniques.A 1∶1 inclusion stoichiometry of inclusion complexation was defined using Job plot by ultraviolet-visible(UV-vis)spectroscopy,and their binding stability constants(Ks)were determined as 2862.77,3494.70,6521.85 and 9599.48 L/mol using UV-vis spectroscopic titration,far more superior to that of nativeβ-CD(Ks=236.79 L/mol).This indicated that the amino side chains on CCDs could actively participate in the inclusion complexation through anion-cation interactions,significantly strengthening the host-guest binding between CCDs and LG.The inclusion modes were further elucidated based on proton and two-dimensional rotating-frame overhauser enhancement spectroscopy(2D-ROESY)nuclear magnetic resonance(NMR)experiments and molecular docking.Water solubility of LG was dramatically promoted up to 4.9 mg/mL,which was 70-fold higher than that of native LG.This study could draw inspiration for the binding and solubilization of phenols such as flavones by design of cationic macrocyclic molecules.

The scaphoid bone is one of the important bone of hand,which is frequently injured and difficult to treat in clinical practice.Therefore,it is very important to deeply study the microstructure and biomechanical characteristics of the scaphoid bone for understanding its injury mechanism and optimizing treatment scheme.Microcomputed tomography(micro-CT)provides high-resolution imaging of bone tissue,while finite element analysis can help to simulate the stress distribution and behavioral patterns of the scaphoid bone under various physiological and pathological states.The high-resolution three-dimensional image of the scaphoid bone obtained by micro-CT technology can be used to construct finite element models of real anatomical structure of the scaphoid bone,thus achieving accurate simulation of the mechanical properties of the scaphoid bone.The fusion of these two advanced technologies provides a new perspective for revealing the structural and functional relationships and injury mechanism of the scaphoid bone.Therefore,this paper reviews the anatomical characteristics of the scaphoid bone and its biomechanical behavior in different states,emphasizing the specific applications and advantages of micro-CT and finite element analysis techniques in the study of the scaphoid bone.By summarizing the research findings in recent years,this paper provides novel scientific basis and methods for the diagnosis,treatment,and prevention of scaphoid bone-related disorders.

Objective To analyze the feasibility and advantage of indocyanine green(ICG)fluorescence imaging technique in the thoracoscopic anatomical segmentectomy.Methods Patients with small pulmonary nodules who underwent thoracoscopic anatomical segmentectomy in our department from January 2023 to June 2024 were selected and divided into the ICG fluorescence group(35 cases determining intersegmental plane through ICG fluorescence imaging method)and the modified inflation-deflation group(42 cases determining intersegmental plane through modified inflation-deflation method)according to different methods of determining intersegmental plane.The surgery-related indicators including time of intersegmental plane occurrence,operation time,number of lymph node dissection,postoperative duration of chest tube and postoperative hospital stay as well as the occurrence of complications in the two groups were counted.Patients over 60 years old in two groups were selected and the differences in surgery-related indicators were analyzed.Results The time of intersegmental plane occurrence and operation time in the ICG fluorescence group were shorter than those in the modified inflation-deflation group,with statistically significant differences(P<0.05).There was no significant difference in the number of lymph node dissection,postoperative duration of chest tube or postoperative hospital stay between the two groups(P>0.05).There was no significant difference in the incidence of postoperative complications between the two groups(P>0.05).The time of intersegmental plane occurrence,operation time and postoperative hospital stay of patients over 60 years old in the ICG fluorescence group were shorter than those in the modified inflation-deflation group,with statistically significant differences(P<0.05).Conclusion ICG fluorescence imaging method can display the intersegmental plane clearly and quickly,which can shorten the time of intersegmental plane occurrence and hospital stay in elderly patients with pulmonary nodules.

Objective:To investigate the application of (4R)-4-(3-[ 18F]fluoranyl-5-fluorophenyl)-1-((3-methylpyridin-4-yl)methyl)pyrrolidin-2-one( 18F-SynVesT-1), a synaptic vesicle glycoprotein 2A (SV2A) radioactive tracer, in patients with Alzheimer′s disease (AD). Methods:A total of 20 AD patients (2 males, 18 females, age (66.4±8.1) years) with positive β-amyloid (Aβ) deposition and 20 normal controls (NC; 9 males, 11 females, age (62.6±8.6) years ) without Aβ deposition were retrospectively recruited from Huashan Hospital, Fudan University between December 2021 and December 2022. All of them underwent 18F-SynVesT-1 PET/MR and 18F-Florbetapir (AV45) PET/CT scans. Preprocessing of brain 18F-SynVesT-1 PET images was carried out using statistical parametric mapping (SPM). The differences of the uptke of 18F-SynVesT-1 (synaptic density) between two groups based on ROI were compared by using either the independent-sample t test or Mann-Whitney U test. Spearman rank correlation analysis was performed to assess the relationship between synaptic density and cognitive performance. For voxelwise analysis, a general linear model was constructed to analyze differences in synaptic density between the two groups using the independent-sample t test. Furthermore, a multiple linear regression model was developed to explore the relationship between synaptic density and cognitive performance. Results:Compared to the NC group, the AD group exhibited significant widespread reduction in synaptic density across the cortical regions ( P<0.05, false discovery rate (FDR)-corrected), particularly in the medial temporal lobe (0.84±0.09 vs 1.04±0.09; t=-6.95, P<0.001), lateral temporal lobe (1.15±0.13 vs 1.31±0.08; t=-4.56, P<0.001), and lateral parietal lobe (1.24(1.04, 1.26) vs 1.32(1.23, 1.39); z=-3.25, P=0.001). Moreover, synaptic density in extensive cortical regions showed a positive correlation with mini-mental state examination (MMSE) and Montreal cognitive assessment-basic (MoCA-B) scores ( P<0.05, FDR-corrected). Notably, significant associations were observed between MMSE and MoCA-B scores and synaptic density in the lateral temporal lobe ( rs values: 0.71, 0.74, both P<0.001) and medial temporal lobe ( rs values: 0.71, 0.74, both P<0.001). Conclusions:18F-SynVesT-1 PET imaging is a valuable tool for evaluating synaptic density, specifically in the context of AD. The observed widespread reduction in synaptic density across cortical regions of patients with AD are closely related to cognitive decline.
