Health think tanks serve as a crucial intellectual support for the Healthy China strategy. The authors systematically analyzed the definitions, classifications, and operational status of health think tanks, categorizing them into five types: government-affiliated think tanks, university and research institute think tanks, social think tanks, hospital think tanks, and corporate think tanks. It was indicated that current health think tanks had significant room for improvement in both quantity and influence, particularly concerning deeper integration with policy decision-making and interdisciplinary collaboration. Although these think tanks played a unique role in supporting government decision-making, issues such as lagging institutional development, insufficient collaborative effectiveness, and difficulties in translating research findings into practice remained prominent. To enhance the ability of think tanks to serve the Healthy China strategy, this study proposed strategies including strengthening top-level design, improving participation mechanisms, optimizing management and evaluation systems, establishing data-sharing platforms, and deepening collaborative governance, with the aim of fostering the healthy development of China′s health think tanks.

OBJECTIVE To study and analyse the main components of Tongluo Muzu Powder transdermal absorption solution,as well as to investigate its mechanism of action in the treatment of osteoarthritis of the knee.METHODS The transdermal absorption solution of Tongluo Muzu Powder was extracted by Franz vertical diffusion cell,and its components were analyzed by UHPLC-MS/MS.Then TCMSP,Swiss target prediction,Gene Cards and other databases were introduced to predict the possible targets of the effec-tive components of transdermal absorption solution for the prevention and treatment of knee osteoarthritis,and Cytoscape software was used to construct the"drug-component-disease-target"visual network,and then the protein interaction network was obtained through the string database to find the core targets.Finally,AutoDock and PyMOL were used to verify the molecular docking of main active in-gredients and targets,and the gene ontology(GO)function analysis of core genes and the enrichment analysis of Kyoto Encyclopedia of genes and genomes(KEGG)pathway were conducted.Primary mouse chondrocytes were extracted,and the predicted targets of net-work pharmacology were verified by ELISA,Western blot,qPCR,etc.RESULTS A total of 48 effective components of the transder-mal absorption solution of Tongluo Muzu Powder and 88 possible targets for the treatment of knee osteoarthritis were screened out.The results of enrichment analysis showed that it was mainly involved in the process of apoptosis and oxidative stress.Molecular docking suggested that the main active ingredients and targets had good binding ability.The results showed that the lyophilized powder of the transdermal absorption solution of Tongluo Muzu Powder could reduce the concentration of inflammatory factors in the supernatant of chondrocytes after LPS intervention in a dose-dependent manner(P<0.05,P<0.01).The protein expression of p-PI3K/PI3K,p-AKT/AKT,MMP13 and p53 was decreased,and the protein expression of collagen Ⅱ was increased(P<0.05,P<0.01).At the same time,the mRNA expression of MMP13 and p53 was decreased and the mRNA expression of collagen Ⅱ was increased(P<0.05,P<0.01).In addition,it reduced the fluorescence intensity of TUNEL staining in cells(P<0.01).CONCLUSION By combining UH-PLC-MS/MS technology with network pharmacology,the main active ingredients of Tongluo Muzu Powder transdermal absorption solu-tion are preliminarily understood,and its potential mechanism of action in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis are predicted.

Objective To investigate the effect of Piezo1 activated by mechanical stress on knee osteoarthritis synovial fibrosis via the extracellular signal-regulated kinase(ERK)1/2 signaling pathway.Methods Twenty-five Sprague Dawley rats were divided into blank,exercise,exercise+GsMTx4,exercise+PD98059,and exercise+GsMTx4+PD98059 groups(n=5 per group).After modeling,serum and synovial tissue were extracted and collagen deposition was evaluated by Sirius red and Masson staining.Expression levels of Piezo1,ERK1/2,phospho(p)-ERK1/2,α-smooth muscle actin(SMA),transforming growth factor(TGF)-β,Collagen Ⅰ,and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase(TIMP)-1 were detected by Western blot and reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction(RT-qPCR),and the interleukin(IL)-1β,IL-6,and tumor necrosis factor(TNF)-α contents were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.For cell experiments,synovial cells were divided into blank,pull,pull+GsMTx4,pull+PD98059,and pull+GsMTx4+PD98059 groups and the above indices were detected in the model cells by Western blot,RT-qPCR,and other techniques.Results Mechanical stress increased collagen deposition in synovial tissues in the rats,and increased the protein and mRNA expression levels of the pathway-related and fibrosis-specific indicators Piezo1,p-ERK/ERK,α-SMA,TGF-β,Collagen I,and TIMP-1(P＜0.05).Piezo1 expression was significantly down-regulated by both inhibitors(P＜0.05),but the ERK inhibitor(PD98059)had no significant effect on Piezo1 gene expression.Levels of serum inflammatory factors were significantly higher in the exercise group compared with the blank group(P＜0.05),and levels were significantly reduced by the inhibitors(P＜0.05).The in vitro experiments showed the same trends as the animal experiments.Conclusions The Piezo1 ion channel can sense mechanical stress and activate the ERK 1/2 pathway to mediate knee synovial fibrosis.

Objective To explore the influence of processing depth of verb comprehension on the pro-cess of sensorimotor simulation of verbs and its automatization characteristics.Methods Thirty-six com-mon college students were selected,and required to complete verb semantic judgment tasks of Experi-ment 1 and non-semantic judgment tasks of Experiment 2.The changes in hand and foot action out-puts were also observed.Results In Experiment 1,in semantic judgment tasks,the reaction time of leg-related verbs was significantly shorter than for hand-related verbs(P=0.001),with no significant differences in true-false word judgment tasks.Moreover,in Experiment 2,no significant interaction ef-fect was found between verb types and action execution(P=0.199).Conclusion The sensorimotor simula-tion triggered by verb comprehension is modulated by processing of different depths,and individuals are more inclined to utilize sensorimotor simulation of verbs at higher levels of processing depth,non-automatically.

ObjectiveTo observe the effects of Xibining （XBN） and adipose stem cell exosome （ADSC-Exos） in the cases of separate or joint application on cartilage degeneration and mitochondrial autophagy and explore its mechanism of action to improve knee osteoarthritis （KOA）. MethodSD rats were divided into a sham operation group （sham group）， a model group， an ADSC-Exos group （Exos group）， an XBN group， and an ADSC-Exos+XBN group （Exos+XBN group）. KOA model was established by using anterior cruciate ligament transection （ACLT）. The pain sensitivity status of rats was evaluated， and the degeneration degree of the knee joint and cartilage tissue was detected by Micro-CT and pathological staining. The expression of p62 and LC3B was observed by immunofluorescence， and the serum levels of TNF-α， IL-1β， IL-6， and IL-15 in rats were detected by ELISA. The Western blot was used to detect the protein expression levels of MMP-3， MMP-13， ADAMTS5， ColⅡ， TIMP， ACAN， PINK1， Parkin， p62， and LC3A/B. ResultCompared with the sham group， rats in the model group showed decreased cold-stimulated foot-shrinkage thresholds and mechanical pain sensitivity thresholds， varying degrees of abrasion and loss of cartilage tissue， degeneration of cartilage tissue， elevated serum IL-1β， IL-6， IL-15， and TNF-α levels （P<0.01）， and increased protein expression of MMP-3， MMP-13， and ADAMTS5 in cartilage tissue. In addition， the protein expression of ColⅡ， TIMP1， and ACAN was decreased （P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， rats in each treatment group showed higher cold-stimulated foot-shrinkage thresholds and mechanical pain sensitivity thresholds， reduced cartilage tissue degeneration， lower serum levels of IL-1β， IL-6， IL-15， and TNF-α （P<0.05，P<0.01）， decreased protein expression of MMP-3， MMP-13， and ADAMTS5， and higher protein expression of Cold， TIMP1， and ACAN in cartilage tissue （P<0.05，P<0.01）. Moreover， the changes were the most obvious in the Exos+XBN group. ConclusionBoth ADSCs-Exos and XBN can increase the level of mitochondrial autophagy in chondrocytes and delay cartilage tissue degeneration by promoting the expression of the PINK1/Parkin signaling pathway， and the combination of the two can enhance the therapeutic effect.

Objective:To explore the effect of systematic diagnosis and treatment model based on new classification on primary hypospadias.Methods:The data of 689 patients with primary hypospadias admitted to Renji Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine from March 2010 to June 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. Of all, 349 cases from March 2010 to June 2016 were treated with traditional treatment methods, and 340 cases from July 2016 to June 2021 were treated with systematic diagnosis and treatment model based on new hypospadias classification. Traditional treatment group of patients according to the European Society of Urology (EAU) guide classification, were divided into the distal-anterior type (located on the glans or distal shaft of the penis), intermediate-middle type (penile) and proximal-posterior type (penoscrotal, scrotal, perineal). For distal type, tubularized incised plate (TIP) or dorsal inlay urethroplasty (Inlay) was performed. Patients with intermediate-middle type underwent Inlay, and patients with proximal-posterior type underwent Bracka staging. In the systematic diagnosis and treatment group, hypospadias was reclassified into distal type (located on the glan or in the first third of the shaft of the penis), junctional type (the back two-thirds of the shaft of the penis and the base of the penis), and proximal type (scrotum or perineum). For distal type, TIP or Inlay was used. Patients with junctional type were treated with urethroplasty with union free graft and local flap method (Montage). Patients with proximal type were treated with Montage or Bracka staging. Patients with testicular volume <0.8 ml and glans width <1.0 cm were treated with human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) before surgery. There were 349 patients in the traditional group, with an average age of (18.58±7.59) months. There were 157 cases of distal-anterior type, 47 cases of intermediate-middle type and 145 cases of proximal-posterior type. There were 181 cases with penile curvature < 30° and 168 cases with penile curvature ≥30°. There were 340 cases in the systematic diagnosis and treatment group, with an average age of (18.94±6.05) months. According to EAU classification, 160 cases were distal-anterior type, 42 cases were intermediate-middle type and 138 cases were proximal-posterior type. There were 197 cases with penile curvature < 30° and 143 cases with penile curvature ≥30°. There was no significant difference in the above indicators between the two groups ( P>0.05). The surgical methods, incidence of postoperative complications and the time of hospital stay between the two groups compared. The changes in penis size and testis volume before and after the use of hormones in the systematic treatment group were compared. Results:In the traditional group, 139 patients underwent TIP, 65 patients underwent Inlay, and 145 patients underwent Bracka staging. In the systematic diagnosis and treatment group, 187 cases were reclassified as distal type (153 cases underwent TIP and 34 cases underwent Inlay). Of the 69 cases of junctional type, 10 cases underwent Inlay, and 59 cases underwent Montage. Of the 84 cases of proximal type, 77 cases underwent Montage, and 7 cases underwent Bracka staging. There was significant difference between the two groups ( P<0.01). In the traditional group, there were 31 cases of urinary fistula (8.9%), 43 cases of urethral stricture (12.3%), 21 cases of urethral diverticulum (6.1%), 45 cases of penile recurvature (12.9%), and the total incidence of complications was 40.1% (140/349). There were 19 cases of urinary fistula (5.6%), 28 cases of urethral stricture (8.2%), 15 cases of urethral diverticulum (4.4%) and 24 cases of penile recurvature (7.1%) in the systematic diagnosis and treatment group. The total incidence of complications was 25.3%(86/340). There were statistically significant differences in the incidence of the above complications between the two groups ( P<0.05). There was a significant difference in the duration of hospital stay between the traditional group and the systematic diagnosis and treatment group [(4.3±1.2) d vs. (1.5±0.5) d, P=0.01]. The width of glans penis after HCG treatment was (1.35±0.14) cm, which was significantly higher than that before HCG treatment [(0.96±0.24) cm, P=0.03]. The length of penis [(2.55±0.19) cm vs. (2.29±0.16) cm] and the volume of testis [(0.76±0.24) ml vs. (0.64±0.15) ml] were not significantly different from those before treatment ( P>0.05). Conclusions:The new classification has clarified the choice of surgical methods, avoiding the amplification of surgical indications. The systematic diagnosis and treatment model based on new classification has significantly improved the treatment effect of hypospadias and effectively reduced postoperative complications. It provides an optional diagnosis and treatment model for hypospadias.
