Childhood simple obesity has become a significant public health issue in China. Modern medicine primarily relies on lifestyle interventions and often suffers from poor long-term compliance， while pharmacological options are limited and associated with potential adverse effects. Traditional Chinese Medicine （TCM） has a long history in the prevention and management of this condition， demonstrating eight distinct advantages， including systematic theoretical foundation， diversified therapeutic approaches， definite therapeutic efficacy， high safety profile， good patient compliance， comprehensive intervention strategies， emphasis on prevention， and stepwise treatment protocols. Additionally， TCM is characterized by six distinctive features： the use of natural medicinal substances， non-invasive external therapies， integration of medicinal dietetics， simple exercise regimens， precise syndrome differentiation， and diverse dosage forms. By combining internal and external treatments， TCM facilitates individualized regimen adjustment and holistic regulation， demonstrating remarkable effects in improving obesity-related metabolic indicators， regulating constitutional imbalance， and promoting healthy behaviors. However， challenges remain， such as inconsistent operational standards， insufficient high-quality clinical evidence， and a gap between basic research and clinical application. Future efforts should focus on accelerating the standardization of TCM diagnosis and treatment， conducting multicenter randomized controlled trials， and fostering interdisciplinary integration， so as to enhance the scientific validity and international recognition of TCM in the prevention and treatment of childhood obesity.

OBJECTIVES: This study investigated the effects of a polycaprolactone (PCL)-polyethylene glycol (PEG) scaffold incorporated with concentrated growth factor (CGF) on the adhesion, proliferation, and osteogenic differentiation of human periodontal ligament stem cells (hPDLSCs). METHODS: The PCL-PEG-CGF composite scaffold was fabricated using an immersion and freeze-drying technique. Its microstructure, mechanical properties, and biocompatibility were systematically characterized. The hPDLSCs were isolated through enzymatic digestion, and the hPDLSCs were identified through flow cytometry. Third-passage hPDLSCs were seeded onto the composite scaffolds, and their adhesion, proliferation and osteogenic differentiation were assessed using CCK-8 assays, 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) staining, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) staining, alizarin red staining, and Western blot analysis of osteogenesis-related proteins [Runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2), ALP, and morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP2)]. RESULTS: Scanning electron microscopy revealed that the PCL-PEG-CGF composite scaffold exhibited a honeycomb-like structure with heterogeneous pore sizes. The composite scaffold exhibited excellent hydrophilicity, as evidenced by a contact angle (θ) approaching 0° within 6 s. Its elastic modulus was measured at (4.590 0±0.149 3) MPa, with comparable hydrophilicity, fracture tensile strength, and fracture elongation to PCL-PEG scaffold. The hPDLSCs exhibited significantly improved adhesion to the PCL-PEG-CGF composite scaffold compared with the PCL-PEG scaffold (P<0.01). Additionally, cell proliferation was markedly improved in all the experimental groups on days 3, 5, and 7 (P<0.01), and statistically significant differences were found between the PCL-PEG-CGF group and other groups (P<0.01). The PCL-PEG-CGF group showed significantly elevated ALP activity (P<0.05), increased mineralization nodule formation, and upregulated expression of osteogenic-related proteins (Runx2, BMP2 and ALP; P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS The PCL-PEG-CGF composite scaffold exhibited excellent mechanical properties and biocompatibility, enhancing the adhesion and proliferation of hPDLSCs and promoting their osteogenic differentiation by upregulating osteogenic-related proteins.

Periodontal tissue diseases are common oral diseases.Although traditional mechanical de-bridement therapy can control inflammation,it is difficult to achieve complete regeneration of periodontal tis-sues.In recent years,research and applications of combining 3D bioprinting technology with mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs)have rapidly developed in the field of periodontal tissue regeneration.This combined ap-proach provides a novel strategy for periodontal tissue regeneration by constructing a biomimetic microenvi-ronment and promoting cell proliferation and differentiation.This article reviewed the types of 3D bioprinting technology,the characteristics of bioink materials,the sources of MSCs,and their application progress in peri-odontal tissue regeneration.Additionally,it analyzed the current technical bottlenecks and clinical translation challenges,aiming to provide references for future research and clinical applications.

Ubiquitination is a crucial post-translational modification that is extensively involved in the regulation of protein activity,signal transduction,and the maintenance of genomic stability.As an important member of the deubiquitinating enzyme(DUB)family,ubiquitin-specific protease 11(USP11)dynamically regulates the stability and function of key tumor proteins by targeting specific substrates for deubiquitination.This,in turn,influences various biological behaviors of tumor cells,including proliferation,apoptosis,migration,invasion,metastasis,and drug resistance,ultimately exhibiting a dual role in either promoting or inhibiting cancer.This article systematically reviewed the relevant research progress on the role of USP11 in tumorigenesis and development and provided an in-depth analysis of the specific mechanisms by which USP11 participates in cellular biological behav-iors,aiming to offer a theoretical basis for the future development of small-molecule inhibitors targeting USP11,the formulation of combination drug strategies,and the identification of effective biomarkers.

Objective: To analyze the safety and effectiveness of different types of stents with the treatment of vertebraebasilar artery dissection aneurysms(VBADA). Methods : The clinical data of 80 patients with VBADA treated by intravascular intervention in the First Hospital of University of Science and Technology of China(Anhui Provincial Hospital) from February 2018 to November 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into laser engraved stent group(n=34) and braided stent group(n=46) based on the type of stent used. O′Kelly-Marotta(OKM) grade was used to evaluate the embolization effect of aneurysms in DSA images, and a modified Rankin Scale(mRS) score was used to evaluate the clinical prognosis of patients. The baseline data, aneurysm characteristics, intraoperative and perioperative treatment details and postoperative follow-up details between the two groups were compared. Results : There was no significant difference in baseline data, mRS score, ischemic and hemorrhage complications and mortality between the two groups(allP>0.05). Compared with the laser engraved stent group, the mean diameter of aneurysms was larger(P<0.000 1) and the proportion of ruptured aneurysm(P<0.01), parent artery stenosis and beaded vascular lesions(P<0.05) and branch artery dissecting aneurysm were higher(P<0.01) in the braided stent group. Conversely, the proportion of coil-assisted embolization(P<0.000 1) and the immediate aneurysm occlusion rate(OKM C and D)(P<0.000 1) were lower. Finally, 21 patients were obtained by controlling for maximum diameter of aneurysms and whether coil-assisted embolization, the aneurysm occlusion rate half a year later in the braided stent group was higher than that in the laser engraved stent group(P<0.05), but the recurrence rate of postoperative aneurysm was lower than that of laser engraved stent group(P<0.05). It was worth noting that the cure rate and vascular remodeling rate of middle-large size VBADA which the maximum diameter being over 15 mm in the braided stent group reached 72.2%, and the whole effect was ideal. Conclusion Braided stents are relatively safe and effective in the treatment of VBADA and are significantly better than laser engraved stents in reducing VBADA recurrence and remodeling lesion vessels without increasing postoperative complication.

Objective To evaluate the detection performance of common strains and the antimicrobial binding capacity of four blood culture systems made by BMX-FA/N Plus,Zhengzhou Anto,Zhuhai DIER and Chongqing Zhongyuan.Methods According to the common pathogens of clinical bloodstream infections in Wuhan No.1 Hospital,ATCC standard isolates of Staphylococcus aureus,Streptococcus pneumoniae,Enterococcus faecalis,Escherichia coli,Pseudomonas aeruginosa,Haemophilus influenzae,Stenotrophomonas Maltophil,Bacteroides tenuis and Candida glabla were chosen to explore.Prefabricated bacterial suspension and sterile horse blood were injected into different brands of blood culture systems to simulate the blood samples of patients with non-antibiotic treatment and antibiotic treatment.Six commonly used clinical antibiotics,Imipenem,Piperacillin/Tazobactam,Cefoperazone/Sulbactam,Levofloxacin,Vancomycin and Micafungine,were added to the blood samples after simulated antibiotic treatment.The performance was evaluated by recording the positive bottles and the detection time of each brand culture systems within five days with and without antibiotic.Results In the absence of antibiotic,four blood culture systems showed 100％recovery on all of the pathogens.Staphylococcus aureus,Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Haemophilus influenzae were recovered earlier in DIER aerobic bottles than BMX-FA Plus aerobic bottles,and the differences were statistically significant(t=2.608,5.547,12.247,all P＜0.05).The time to detection of Staphylococcus aureus,Streptococcus pneumoniae,Enterococcus faecalis and Haemophilus influenzae in Zhongyuan anaerobic bottles was significantly faster than that of BMX-FA Plus anaerobic bottles,with an average shortening of 1.92～10.80 h,and the differences were statistically significant(t=30.187,5.367,33.068,24.855,all P＜0.05).When antibiotics added,BMX-FA Plus culture bottle showed 100％recovery to all the detecting pathogens with the peak concentration antibiotics except Cefoperazone/Sulbactam,while the recovery in Zhongyuan blood culture bottle also was 100％with peak concentration antibiotics of Piperacillin/Tazobactam,Levofloxacin and Micafunzin.The peak concentration of imipenem antibiotics in domestic bottles was only detected in Anto anaerobic bottles,with lower positive detection rate(66.7％)lower than that of BMX-FA Plus(100％)and a later detection,and the difference was statistically significant(t=-21.000,P=0.030).Conclusion In the absence of antibiotic interference,the positive detection rate of the above pathogens are the same for four blood culture systems,and the time to detection of DIER and Zhongyuan systems is shorter than that of BMX-FA/N Plus.In the presence of antibiotic interference,the detection ability to pathogens in BMX-FA/N Plus system is the best,followed by domestic Zhongyuan system.
