Objective To analyze the global literature related to functional cure of hepatitis B from 2019 to 2023 by using bibliometric analysis methods,so as to help researchers understand the research hotspots and trends in this field.Methods The literature related to the topic of functional cure of hepatitis B included in the Science Citation Index Expanded(SCI-Expanded)of the Web of Science Core Collection from 2019 to 2023 was searched.By using VOSviewer and CiteSpace visual analysis tools,analyses were conducted from the perspectives of publication trends,international research cooperation networks,and keyword emergence,and were elaborated with the specific contents of the related literature to elucidate research hotspots and trends.Results A total of 600 eligible papers in this field were included.Keyword co-occurrence and thematic clustering suggested that the main research directions of functional cure were:serum biomarkers for prediction and monitoring of functional cure,functional cure and immunity,nucleoside analog discontinuation,interferon therapy,and long-term prognosis of functional cure.The research contents of the ESI highly cited original research papers were similar to the clustering of the above,but showed more attention on the novel agents for functional cure.The content of the keyword emergence map showed that hotspots of interest changed from virologic mechanisms and serum markers,to nucleoside analog discontinuation and interferon therapy,and finally to immunologic mechanisms and new drug.Conclusion The research hotspots and trends of functional cure of hepatitis B were focused on virological mechanism,serum markers,immunological mechanism,nucleoside analog discontinuation,interferon therapy,and long-term prognosis after cure.

Objective To investigate the effect of cordyceps sinensis(CS)on the activation of fibroblasts through IL-6 trans-signaling pathway and its specific mechanism in the treatment of renal fibrosis.Methods Renal fibrosis mouse model was established by unilateral ischemia/reperfusion(UIR),and the mice were administered intragastrically CS,soluble glycoprotein 130 Fc(sgp130Fc)or Hyper-IL-6.Masson's trichrome staining was utilized to identify tubulointerstitial fibrosis.PAS staining was utilized to assess the extent of renal injury.Western blot was employed to analyze the expression levels of fibrosis markers[alpha-smooth muscle actin(α-SMA),fibronectin(FN)]and proteins associated with IL-6 trans-signaling pathway[phosphorylated signal transducer and activator of transcription 3(p-STAT3),soluble interleukin-6 receptor(sIL-6R)].The expression and localization of proteins were additionally detected by immunohistochemistry,immunofluorescence and qPCR.The effect of cordyceps sinensis extract cordycepin on IL-6 trans-signaling in fibroblasts was further investigated in vitro.Results The results from in vivo experiments showed that administration of CS during the chronic phase demonstrated a beneficial protective impact on inflammation and fibrosis in the affected kidney,and serum creatinine levels and collagen deposition were decreased.Western blot analysis revealed a decrease in the expression levels of α-SMA,FN,as well as IL-6 trans-signaling pathway protein p-STAT3,sIL-6R in the treatment group.Additionally,the mRNA expression levels of chemokines monocyte chemoattractant protein-1(MCP-1)and C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 12(CXCL12)were also decreased in the CS treatment group.Additionally,Hyper-IL-6 can partially counteract the therapeutic effects of CS.In vitro experiments further demonstrated that cordycepin inhibited the secretion of IL-6 from NRK-52E.Combined treatment of recombinant IL-6 and sIL-6R protein activated NRK-49F,leading to a significant increase in α-SMA,FN,and p-STAT3 expression levels.Cordycepin or sgp130Fc treatment significantly inhibited the proliferation of fibroblasts induced by IL-6 trans-signaling pathway.Conclusion CS can significantly reduce IL-6 secretion by renal tubular epithelial cells and inhibit the activation of IL-6 trans-signaling pathway in fibroblasts,thereby ameliorating renal interstitial fibrosis.

Objective To explore the relationship between insulin resistance and idiopathic central precocious puberty(ICPP)in girls and the diagnostic value of insulin resistance.Methods Clinical data of 245 girls aged 4 to 7.5 years with low luteinizing hormone(LH)levels(0.2-0.83 IU/L),normal body weight(body mass index standard deviation score between-2 and+2),and early breast development who visited the Department of Pediatric Endocrinology,Henan Provincial Maternal and Child Health Hospital from January 2022 to March 2025 were retrospectively analyzed.According to the Expert Consensus on the Diagnosis and Treatment of Central Precocious Puberty(2022),patients were assigned to an ICPP group(n=123)or a control group(n=122).Correlations between the homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance(HOMA-IR)and selected indices were assessed.Multivariable logistic regression was used to evaluate the association between HOMA-IR and ICPP,and the diagnostic performance of various indices for ICPP was evaluated.Results HOMA-IR was higher in the ICPP group than in the control group(P<0.001)and was positively correlated with LH peak(rs=0.467,P<0.05)and the LH peak/FSH peak ratio(rs=0.444,P<0.05).The multivariable logistic regression model including age,BMI,and basal LH showed that HOMA-IR was closely associated with ICPP(OR=2.756,95%CI:1.940-3.913).Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed that the areas under the curve for basal LH,HOMA-IR,and their combination in diagnosing ICPP were 0.735,0.735,and 0.805,respectively(P<0.05),and the combined model had a greater area under the curve than either basal LH or HOMA-IR alone(both P<0.05).Conclusions HOMA-IR is closely associated with ICPP in girls with low LH and normal body weight,and combining HOMA-IR with basal LH improves early identification and diagnostic efficiency in this population.

To investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying the mechanosensitive ion channel PI-EZO2 in osteoarthritis(OA),we developed a lentiviral vector for endogenous PIEZO2 overexpression and established a stable PIEZO2-high-expressing immortalized human primary chondrocyte line.By map-ping the open reading frame of the PIEZO2 locus and designing sequence-specific sgRNA,we employed the CRISPR/Cas9 synergistic activation mediator(SAM)system to precisely integrate transcriptional ac-tivation elements into the PIEZO2 promoter region.Lentiviral-mediated targeted genomic integration en-sured endogenous PIEZO2 overexpression,confirmed by mCherry fluorescence tracing coupled with flow cytometric sorting,which revealed membrane-specific localization of PIEZO2 protein(localization effi-ciency:78.49％).Quantitative PCR demonstrated a 17-fold upregulation of PIEZO2 mRNA,while Western blotting validated enhanced membrane-localized protein expression.Strikingly,PIEZO2-overex-pressing chondrocytes exhibited hallmark OA metabolic phenotypes compared to wild-type controls:typeⅡ collagen mRNA expression decreased to 50％of baseline levels,whereas matrix metalloproteinase 13(MMP13)mRNA surged by 20-fold.These alterations recapitulated the pathological matrix metabolic phenotype observed in biomechanical OA models induced by cyclic mechanical stress(10％strain,0.5 Hz,8 h/day for 2 consecutive days).Collectively,we successfully generated a human chondrocyte model with stable PIEZO2 overexpression,which faithfully mirrors mechanotransduction-driven OA progression.This engineered cellular system provides a robust platform for dissecting PIEZO2-mediated mechanosig-naling networks and advancing targeted therapeutic discovery.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of spesolimab in the treatment of generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP) .Methods:Six patients with GPP were retrospectively collected from Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital from February 2024 to April 2024, including 2 males and 4 females, aged 16 - 50 years. Four patients had a history of plaque psoriasis. Before treatment, the GPP Area and Severity Index (GPPASI) scores of the patients ranged from 24.6 to 60.8 points, and their GPP Physician Global Assessment (GPPGA) scores ranged from 2 to 4 points. All the 6 patients were intravenously injected with a single dose of 900 mg of spesolimab. Their GPPASI and GPPGA scores were recorded at weeks 1, 4, and 12, and adverse reactions were monitored during the treatment and follow-up.Results:Twenty-four hours after treatment, pustules were markedly reduced in the 6 patients with GPP; at week 1, pustules completely subsided, but erythema persisted; at week 4, both GPPASI and GPPGA scores decreased to 0 points; at week 12, no recurrence was observed. The patients with comorbid hypertension (4 cases), diabetes (1 case), or kidney disease (2 cases) maintained stable pressure or blood glucose levels, or showed improved renal function during the treatment and follow-up. Two patients experienced a transient fever after the treatment with spesolimab, resolving spontaneously after 2 days; two other patients exhibited exacerbation of plaque psoriasis. During the 12-week follow-up, none of the 6 patients experienced serious adverse reactions such as infections.Conclusion:In this study, spesolimab demonstrated rapid-onset efficacy and favorable safety in the treatment of GPP; conventional-dose spesolimab seemed safe for GPP patients with kidney disease.
