BACKGROUND:In the field of tissue engineering,decellularized scaffolds are widely used owing to their biocompatibility.Nonetheless,these scaffolds frequently encounter the limitation of inadequate cell infiltration due to their densely structured composition.Using laser micro-patterning technology for structural modification can improve cell adhesion and proliferation.OBJECTIVE:To summarize the research progress of laser microporous decellularized scaffolds in tissue regeneration.METHODS:Related literature was searched in PubMed and CNKI databases.The Chinese and English search terms were"decellularized scaffold,laser micro-patterning technology,laser microporous decellularized scaffold,extracellular matrix,laser drilling,tissue regeneration."References were screened according to inclusion and exclusion criteria,and 65 articles were finally included for analysis and discussion.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Laser micro-patterning technology can selectively remove tissues to achieve scaffold modification.Laser treatment can have controllable effects on the pore structure,mechanical properties and cell permeability of the scaffold.(2)To obtain the optimal cell integration and remodeling effect,factors such as scaffold pretreatment,laser and decellularization process sequence,laser parameter setting,decellularization process and pore structure should be considered.(3)At present,the application of laser microporous decellularized scaffolds has shown that it can promote tissue repair,and it is also necessary to solve the problem of tissue thermal damage.Depending on the absorption of different wavelengths of laser light by the tissue,a reasonable selection of laser type is a feasible solution.(4)Tissue damage repair by laser microporous decellularized scaffold is expected to achieve clinical transformation,and optimizing laser technology and carrying out larger scale biosafety testing are future research directions.

Objective To study the effect of medial collateral ligament(MCL)release on the squatting motion followling total knee arthroplasty(TKA)and provide reference data for ligament release during knee replacement surgery.Methods Based on CT and MRI images of a volunteer,a three-dimensional(3D)geometric anatomical model of the natural knee joint including bone tissues and major soft tissues was established.A finite element model of the artificial knee joint was established by simulating TKA surgery.The squatting motion after 30％release of the upper end,lower end,and both ends of the MCL was simulated,and motion characteristic data of the knee joint at flexion/extension angles from 0° to 135° were obtained.Results The effects of ligament release at different locations on knee squatting motion varied.After releasing the lower end,the medial translation,posterior translation,superior translation,and adduction of the femur relative to the tibia increased by 13.74％,3.83％,9.74％,and 2.37％,respectively,while the external rotation decreased by 36.8％.After releasing the upper end,the medial translation and posterior translation increased by 10.65％and 10％,respectively,while the superior translation,adduction,and external rotation decreased by 4.52％,33.89％,and 67.1％,respectively.After releasing both ends,the medial translation,posterior translation,and superior translation increased by 14.77％,9.39％,and 22.56％,respectively,while the adduction and external rotation decreased by 15.62％and 47.3％,respectively.Conclusions After MCL released,the medial translation,anterior translation,superior translation,and abduction of the femur relative to the tibia increased,while the external rotation decreased.Releasing the lower end had the least effect on these femoral movements,showing an obvious advantage.

Inflammatory bowel disease(IBD)is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease with a complex etiology,mainly including two types:ulcerative colitis(UC)and Crohn's disease(CD),whose risk factors for its development are still incompletely understood.In recent years,Mendelian randomization(MR)has gained increasing attention in IBD research.MR mainly uses genetic variation as an instrumental variable to infer causality between exposure and outcome,effectively avoiding confounding and reverse causality in observational studies and randomised controlled trials.This review summarises currently published MR studies related to IBD,focusing on causal relationships between different risk factors and IBD development.Current findings support a causal relation-ship between IBD and selected oral diseases,skin diseases,psychiatric disorders,autoimmune diseases,bone diseases,gut diseases,gut microbiota,cytokines and nutrients,but not between IBD and lifestyle,cardiovascular diseases and neurodegenerative diseases.Despite its limitations,MR studies are of great significance in improving understanding of etiology of IBD and in identifying potential therapeutic interventions.

Oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma(OPSCC)is a malignant tumor originating from the squamous epithelium of the oro-pharyngeal mucosa,accounting for more than 90％of oropharyngeal malignancies.In recent years,human papillomavirus(HPV)infec-tion has become one of the primary etiological factors of oropharyngeal squamous carcinoma.The incidence of HPV-associated oropharyn-geal squamous carcinoma has been rising annually,with a noticeable trend toward younger populations,posing a significant threat to hu-man health.Due to the distinct biological behavior and clinical characteristics of HPV-associated oropharyngeal squamous carcinoma com-pared to its non-HPV-related counterpart,the diagnostic and treatment strategies for oropharyngeal squamous carcinoma have undergone substantial changes.Prevention and screening for oropharyngeal squamous carcinoma are of critical importance.The diagnostic and treat-ment process involves multi-disciplinary collaboration,including oral and maxillofacial surgery,otolaryngology,head and neck surgery,oncology,radiology and pathology.Based on evidence from clinical practice,a comprehensive,integrated diagnostic and therapeutic ap-proach has been established,centered around the concept of"prevention,screening,diagnosis,treatment,and rehabilitation",covering the entire patient lifecycle and providing a valuable reference for clinical practice.

Reduced or interrupted blood flow is an important pathological and physiological process in femoral head necrosis,so understanding the blood flow of the femoral head can help better understand the progression of femoral head necrosis.With the continuous development and improvement of imaging technology,the technical methods for detecting the blood flow of the femoral head are gradually being widely applied,allowing clinical physicians to better understand the blood flow situation of patients with femoral head necrosis.However,at present,the prognosis prediction of femoral head necrosis still mainly revolves around factors such as the area and angle of femoral head necrosis.Therefore,this article explores imaging techniques covering studies such as femoral head vascular imaging or blood flow perfusion parameters,summarizes their application research progress in femoral head necrosis blood flow assessment,and aims to provide more objective basis for exploring the prevention and prognosis of femoral head necrosis from the perspective of femoral head blood flow.

Viral myocarditis(VMC)is a type of myocarditis caused by Coxsackievirus B3(CVB3)infection.Its pathogenesis is complex that includes direct viral action,host immune and inflammatory response,myocardial structure and function remodeling.The therapeutic effect of single target drugs is limited,while traditional Chinese medicine not only has antiviral effects,but also demon-strates systematic advantages in intervening in VMC due to its"multi-component,multi-target,and multi-pathway"characteristics.This article reviews the pathogenic mechanisms of CVB3-induced VMC,clarifies the interaction between CVB3 and host cells,and ex-plores the intervention mechanisms and developments of traditional Chinese medicine interventions for CVB3-induced VMC.At the same time,the prospects of traditional Chinese medicine treatment for CVB3-induced VMC in this study suggest that future research should strengthen the analysis of multi-target synergistic mechanisms based on traditional Chinese medicine formulas,combine artifi-cial intelligence,genomics,and gene editing technologies to predict drug-target interaction networks,establish standardized and per-sonalized system for integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine treatment plans,and provide more effective strategies for the prevention and treatment of VMC.

Objective To investigate the impact of DNA damage-regulated autophagy factor 2(DRAM2)on the proliferation and migration of non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC)cells through tumor protein p53(p53)and autophagy.Methods DRAM2 gene was knocked down using lentiviral technology to establish NSCLC cell lines,and autophagy markers were detected by immunofluorescence and Western blot.CCK8 and Transwell assays were used to detect cell proliferation and migration.The effects of autophagy activation and p53 knockdown on autoph-agy and functions of DRAM2?knockdown cells were examined.Results Knockdown of DRAM2 inhibited NSCLC cells,with upregulation of p62 expression(P<0.05)and decreased level of LC3?Ⅱ(P<0.05).Knockdown of DRAM2 suppressed the proliferation(P<0.001)and migration(P<0.001)of NSCLC cells.Activation of auto?phagy partially reversed the inhibitory effects of DRAM2 knockdown on cell proliferation(P<0.01)and migration(P<0.01).When DRAM2 and p53 were knocked down simultaneously,autophagy,cell proliferation(P<0.05)and migration abilities(P<0.001)were restored.Conclusions Knockdown of DRAM2 inhibits the proliferation and migration of lung cancer cell line A549,providing a potential intervention direction for the devel?opment of therapeutic strategies.
