ObjectiveTo reveal the active substances and mechanisms of modified Qing'e formula （MQEF） in delaying skin photoaging by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-time of flight mass spectrometry （UPLC-Q-TOF-MS），network pharmacology， and cell experiments. MethodsUPLC-Q-TOF-MS and a literature review were employed to analyze the transdermally absorbed components in mice after the topical application of MQEF. The potential targets of MQEF in treating skin photoaging were retrieved from databases.The compound-potential target network and protein-protein interaction network were constructed to screen the key components and core targets. A photoaging cell model was established by irradiating HaCaT cells with medium-wave ultraviolet B （UVB）. The safe doses of bakuchiol （BAK） and salvianolic acid B （SAB） for treating HaCaT cells and the effects of BAK and SAB on the viability of cells exposed to UVB irradiation were determined by the cell counting kit-8 （CCK-8） method.The reactive oxygen species （ROS） fluorescent probe was used to measure the ROS production in the cells treated with BAK and SAB.The expression levels of genes related to oxidative stress，inflammation，collagen metabolism，and circadian rhythm clock were measured by Real-time PCR. ResultsA total of 24 transdermally absorbed components of MQEF were identified，which acted on 367 potential targets，and 417 targets related to skin photoaging were screened out，among which 47 common targets were predicted as the targets of MQEF in treating skin photoaging. MQEF exerted the anti-photoaging effect via key components such as BAK and SAB，which acted on core proteins such as serine/threonine kinase 1 （Akt1） and mitogen-activated protein kinase 3 （MAPK3） and intervened in core pathways such as the tumor necrosis factor （TNF） and phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase （PI3K）/protein kinase B （Akt） signaling pathways.Compared with the model group，the administration of BAK and SAB increased the survival rate of HaCaT cells （P<0.01），down-regulated the mRNA levels of cyclooxygenase-2 （COX-2），interleukin-6 （IL-6），tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α），matrix metalloproteinase-1 （MMP-1），and matrix metalloproteinase-9 （MMP-9） （P<0.01），and up-regulated the mRNA levels of heme oxygenase-1 （HO-1） and NAD（P）H quinone dehydrogenase 1 （NQO-1） （P<0.05，P<0.01） in photoaged HaCaT cells.In addition，it eliminated excess ROS production induced by UVB and up-regulated the mRNA levels of brain and muscle ARNT-like 1 （BMAL1） and circadian locomotor output cycles kaput （CLOCK） associated with circadian clock （P<0.05，P<0.01）. ConclusionMQEF delays skin photoaging through the coordinated effects of various components，multiple targets，and diverse pathways.The key components BAK and SAB in MQEF exhibit anti-photoaging properties，which involve inhibiting oxidative stress，preventing collagen degradation，mitigating inflammation，and maintaining normal skin circadian rhythms by regulating clock gene expression.

ObjectiveTo investigate the expression level of lysophosphatidyllecithin acyltransferase 4 （LPCAT4） in pancreatic cancer and its effect on the proliferation of pancreatic cancer cells. MethodsIn this study， the differentially expressed genes of patients with KRAS mutant and wild-type pancreatic cancer were analyzed by online database LinkedOmics. The LPCAT4 expression in pancreatic cancer tissues was analyzed online by the University of Alabama at Birmingham Cancer Data Analysis （UALCAN）， Sangerbox and gene expression profile interaction analysis 2 （GEPIA2）. Kaplan-Meier Plotter database was used to explore the correlation between LPCAT4 and the prognosis of patients with pancreatic cancer. The expression of LPCAT4 in human pancreatic cancer cells were detected by quantitative real-time PCR and Western blot analysis. LPCAT4 was knocked down in the high-expressing SW1990 cell line and overexpressed in the low-expressing MIA PaCa-2 cell line. The effects of LPCAT4 expression on cell proliferation were assessed using CCK-8 and EdU assays. STRING and GEPIA2 databases were used to obtain LPCAT4 binding and coexpressed genes in tumors， which were then analyzed by GO and KEGG. ResultsAnalysis of the LinkedOmics online database revealed a significant upregulation of LPCAT4 in patients with KRAS mutant pancreatic cancer compared to patients with KRAS wild-type pancreatic cancer. The online analysis of GEPIA2， UALCAN and Sangerbox 3.0 showed that the expression of LPCAT4 was higher in pancreatic cancer than in normal tissues. Analysis of the Kaplan-Meier Plotter database revealed that high LPCAT4 expression was associated with poorer prognosis in pancreatic cancer patients.Western blot and qPCR results showed that expression of LPCAT4 in pancreatic cancer cell lines was significantly higher than in normal pancreatic ductal epithelial cells. Knockdown of LPCAT4 in SW1990 cells inhibited proliferation， while overexpression in MIA PaCa-2 cells promoted proliferation. Enrichment analysis indicated that LPCAT4 was closely related to sulfur metabolism. ConclusionsLPCAT4 is highly expressed in pancreatic cancer and is associated with poor prognosis of patients. It plays a significant regulatory role in the proliferation of pancreatic cancer cells， with its expression level closely correlated with cell proliferation capacity. These findings reveal the critical role of LPCAT4 in the malignant progression of pancreatic cancer and provide important evidence for its potential as a therapeutic target.

Alzheimer’s disease （AD） is mainly characterised by irreversible progressive cognitive dysfunction， which is complex in its pathogenesis and difficult to cure， and seriously affects the quality of life of patients. MicroRNA （miRNA） is a type of small non-coding RNA with high targeting specificity and potential for multi-pathway regulation. This paper takes miRNA as the entry point to systematically elaborate the mechanism of action of traditional Chinese medicine intervening in AD by regulating miRNA. The results revealed that the active ingredients of traditional Chinese medicine （e.g. notoginsenoside R1， salidroside， catalpol， madecassoside， baicalin， dihydromyricetin， osthole， berberine， ursolic acid， parthenolide， thymoquinone， plumbagin）， the extracts of traditional Chinese medicine （e.g.， Ganoderma extract and Ginkgo biloba leaf extract）， and the compound formulas of traditional Chinese medicine （e.g.， Dihuang yinzi decoction， modified Shuyu pill， and Anshen dingzhi formula） can regulate miRNA to reduce the production and deposition of β-amyloid protein， inhibit the over-phosphorylation of τ protein， and inhibit the neuroinflammatory response and programmed neuronal death by regulating miRNA， thus playing a role in intervening in AD.

BACKGROUND: Pre-transplant exposure to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) significantly increases the risk of allograft rejection after liver transplantation (LT); however, whether ICI-related rejection leads to increased graft loss remains controversial. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the association between ICI-related allograft rejection and perioperative graft loss. METHODS: This was a retrospective analysis of adult liver transplant recipients with early biopsy-proven T-cell-mediated rejection (TCMR) at Liver Transplantation Center of Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital from June 2019 to September 2024. The pathological features, clinical characteristics, and perioperative graft survival were analyzed. RESULTS: Twenty-eight patients who underwent early TCMR between June 2019 and September 2024 were included. Based on pre-LT ICI exposure, recipients were categorized into ICI-related TCMR (irTCMR, n = 12) and conventional TCMR (cTCMR, n = 16) groups. Recipients with irTCMR had a higher median Banff rejection activity index (RAI) (6 vs . 5, P = 0.012) and more aggressive tissue damage and inflammation. Recipients with irTCMR showed higher proportion of treatment resistance, achieving a complete resolution rate of only 8/12 compared to 16/16 for cTCMR. Graft loss occurred in 5/12 of irTCMR recipients within 90 days after LT, with no graft loss in cTCMRs recipients. Cox analysis demonstrated that irTCMR with an ICI washout period of <30 days was an independent risk factor for perioperative graft loss (hazard ratio [HR], 6.540; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.067-40.067, P = 0.042). CONCLUSION IrTCMR is associated with severe pathological features, increased resistance to treatment, and higher graft loss in adult liver transplant recipients.

BACKGROUND:The key to preventing the recurrence of intrauterine adhesions is to reconstruct the endometrium with normal function.The latest breakthrough in the treatment of recurrent intrauterine adhesions in and outside China is the use of degradable materials to prepare hydrogels to prevent the recurrence of adhesions. OBJECTIVE:To review the research advance in hydrogel-promoted endometrial repair in intrauterine adhesions. METHODS:PubMed,Web of Science,China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI),and WanFang databases were searched systematically,with the keywords"intrauterine adhesions,endometrial injury,endometrium regeneration,hydrogel"in Chinese and English.Relevant articles published in each database from January 1990 to March 2023 were collected. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:In recent years,research on hydrogel-promoted endometrial repair in uterine adhesions in and outside China has made some progress and plays an important role in the prevention and treatment of intrauterine adhesions and the promotion of endometrial repair:(1)As an important carrier in tissue engineering,hydrogel itself has excellent biocompatibility,biodegradability and three-dimensional network structure,which can be better applied in the treatment of intrauterine adhesions.(2)The hydrogel-based carrier system can promote the proliferation and differentiation of endometrial epithelial cells by transporting drugs/biologics/stem cells,and restore normal uterine morphology to prevent adhesion recurrence.(3)Hyaluronic acid hydrogels can not only meet good biocompatibility,but also promote the proliferation and differentiation of endometrial epithelial cells,and will be hydrolyzed by corresponding enzymes in utero,without affecting the normal metabolism of the body.They are currently commonly used uterine anti-adhesion agents in the clinic and are also the most commonly used hydrogel carriers in tissue engineering research.(4)Poloxamer hydrogel with excellent temperature-sensitive properties can rapidly gelate into the body,quickly form a physical barrier,and can play a slow-release effect on carrying substances and provide a platform for cell growth/adhesion.(5)There are broad prospects for the preparation of therapeutic hydrogels using materials with different characteristics,such as temperature-sensitive hydrogels,pH-responsive hydrogels and photosensitive hydrogels,but there are still many problems to be solved,such as the safety of the hydrogel system,whether the degradation products cause immune reactions,and whether they have an impact on the normal body's menstrual period.A large number of animal experiments and clinical trials are needed to verify its safety and efficacy,and continuously improve the treatment strategy.

Robot and computer navigation assisted joint replacement surgery have the advantages of high operational repeatability, good stability, and high accuracy. In the past decade, its application in clinical practice has become increasingly widespread. However, there may be some special adverse events during robot and computer navigation assisted joint arthroplasty surgery. If there are problems with robots, navigation equipment, or process links, it can cause robot assisted surgery to be forced to abortion and switch to manual surgery. There are reports that the incidence of abortion of robotic surgery due to such reasons is as high as 22%. There may be skin and soft tissue infections around the fixed pin of the tracker, as well as fractures through tracking pin site. Most symptoms of soft tissue infections around the pin track are mild and can be cured through local dressing changes and other treatments. Fractures through tracking pin site have a significant impact on patients, but the incidence is low, mostly reported as individual cases. As of now, a total of 29 cases have been reported in the literature, of which 17 cases (59%) occurred in the femoral shaft, 3 cases (10%) in the femoral epiphyseal end, 7 cases (24%) in the tibial shaft, and 2 cases (7%) in the tibial epiphyseal end. 10 cases (34%) were non displaced or occult fractures, which were cured through conservative treatment. The remaining 19 cases (66%) were displaced fractures, of which 4 cases (14%) were treated with open reduction and internal fixation, 14 cases (48%) were treated with intramedullary nails, and 1 case (3%) underwent total keen revision surgery. Neurovascular damage caused by fixed pin is relatively rare. Research has found that the incidence of such special complications is very low, and most of them are relatively easy to manage. But surgeons should remain vigilant and standardize surgical operations, such as installing fixed pin with care and caution, to avoid the occurrence of such special complications as much as possible.
