AIM: To investigate the diagnostic and prognostic value of differential expression of Cyclin D1 and p53 in eyelid tumors.METHODS: This retrospective study enrolled patients who underwent surgical resection for eyelid tumors at our hospital between March 2018 and March 2023. Participants were categorized into benign and malignant groups based on tumor characteristics. Clinical data were collected. Genetic data for eyelid tumors were obtained from the GEO database, and differential gene analysis, including volcano plot visualization and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis, was performed using the Sangerbox 3.0 platform. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression levels of Cyclin D1, p53, and BAX in tissue samples. Correlations with clinical features were analyzed using Spearman analysis, and prognostic factors were identified via Logistic regression analysis.RESULTS: This study included 69 patients with eyelid tumors(78 eyes), categorized into a benign group(37 patients, 41 eyes)and a malignant group(32 patients, 37 eyes)based on tumor characteristics. There were significant differences between the two groups in histological subtype, TNM staging, vascular invasion, differentiation status, and local infiltration(all P<0.05). Among benign tumors: pigmented nevi in 11 eyes(27%), hemangiomas in 9 eyes(22%), squamous cell papillomas in 5 eyes(12%), epidermoid cysts in 5 eyes(12%), seborrheic keratoses in 4 eyes(10%), neurofibromas in 3 eyes(7%), and both calcifying epithelioma and xanthelasma in 2 eyes each(5%); among malignant tumors: basal cell carcinoma in 18 eyes(49%), meibomian gland carcinoma in 8 eyes(22%), squamous cell carcinoma in 5 eyes(14%), sebaceous gland carcinoma in 4 eyes(11%), lymphoma and malignant melanoma each in 1 eye(3%). At the follow-up cutoff date of March 2025, the 2-year survival rate in the benign group(95%)was significantly higher than that in the malignant group(78%; P<0.05). Bioinformatics analysis identified 4 103 differentially expressed genes, including Cyclin D1, p53, and BAX, which were predominantly involved in pathways such as the p53 signaling pathway and calcium-related signaling. Spearman analysis revealed that local invasion(rs=0.71, P<0.05)and TNM stage(rs=0.73, P<0.05)correlated with Cyclin D1 expression; local invasion(rs=0.76, P<0.05)and histological subtype(rs=0.65, P<0.05)correlated with p53 expression. Logistic regression results indicated that Cyclin D1, p53, TNM staging, and local invasion were prognostic risk factors. ROC curve analysis demonstrated that the combined detection of these four indicators had the highest predictive value for prognosis(AUC=0.83).CONCLUSION: High expression of cyclin D1 and p53 serves as molecular markers for distinguishing benign from malignant eyelid tumors and assessing prognosis. Combined detection of these markers with TNM staging and local invasion demonstrates high predictive value for prognosis.

Objective To investigate the relationship of neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and homocysteine (Hcy) with risk of coronary artery lesion progression in patients with hypertension. Methods The data of 306 patients with hypertension who received coronary angiography from January 2020 to January 2025 were included for retrospective investigation. The patients were divided into a non-progression group (175 cases) and a progression group (131 cases) based on the 6-month Gensini progression rate. The relationship between NLR and Hcy and coronary artery lesion progression was analyzed. Results Binary logistic regression analysis was applied to control confounding factors. After adjusting for confounding factors using Model1, Model2, and Model3, it was found that NLR and Hcy at admission were independently associated with the progression of coronary artery lesion in hypertensive patients [adjusted OR (95% CI) = 1.77 (1.48-2.11), 4.26 (2.71-6.69), P<0.001]. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve revealed that the area under the curve of the combination of Hcy and NLR was 0.814 in predicting the progression of coronary artery lesion in hypertensive patients, which was higher than that of Hcy or NLR (Z/P=5.328, 2.077/<0.05). Conclusion Cardiovascular disease risk factors NLR and Hcy are independently associated with coronary artery lesion progression in patients with hypertension. Early detection of NLR and Hcy is helpful to predict the progression of coronary artery lesion.

ObjectiveTo investigate the imaging features of calcium salt deposition and serological markers in patients with alveolar echinococcosis through a retrospective analysis， as well as independent risk factors for the degree of calcium salt deposition in lesions， and to provide a basis for assessing disease process. MethodsA retrospective analysis was performed for the imaging and clinical data of 107 patients with alveolar echinococcosis who were admitted to The First Affiliated Hospital of Shihezi University from December 2023 to June 2025， and according to the volume of calcium salt deposition， they were divided into non-deposition group with 16 patients， mild deposition group with 52 patients， moderate deposition group with 16 patients， and severe deposition group with 23 patients. A one-way analysis of variance or the Kruskal-Wallis H test was used for comparison of continuous data between groups， and the χ² test or Fisher’s exact test was used for comparison of categorical data between groups. The four groups were further combined into the low deposition group （no/mild deposition） and the high deposition group （moderate/severe deposition）. A binary logistic regression analysis was used to investigate the independent influencing factors for calcium salt deposition， and a predictive model was established. The receiver operating characteristic （ROC） curve was used to assess the predictive performance of the model， and the Bootstrap method was used for internal validation. ResultsThere were significant differences between the four groups in sex distribution， involvement of other sites， white blood cell count， lymphocyte percentage， fibrinogen， uric acid， sodium ion， chloride ion， and calcium ion （all P<0.05）. The univariate analysis showed that there were significant differences between the four groups in sex， involvement of other sites， white blood cell count， lymphocyte percentage， fibrinogen， alanine aminotransferase， albumin， creatinine， uric acid， sodium ion， chloride ion， and calcium ion （all P<0.1）. The multi-collinearity diagnosis showed that the VIF values for all continuous variables ranged from 1.104 to 1.760， suggesting that collinearity did not affect modeling. An ordinal logistic regression model was established based on sex， involvement of other sites， calcium ion， lymphocyte percentage， and uric acid. The multivariate analysis showed that lymphocyte percentage （odds ratio ［OR］=1.106， 95% confidence interval ［CI］： 1.041 — 1.174， P=0.001） and blood calcium level （OR=0.005， 95%CI： 0.000 —0.230， P=0.007） were independent influencing factors for the degree of calcium salt deposition. The regression equation was established as Logit（P）=8.231 + 0.100 × lymphocyte percentage -5.344 × calcium ion. The ROC curve analysis showed that the model had an area under the ROC curve of 0.716， with a Youden index of 0.353， a sensitivity of 1.000， and a specificity of 0.353. The Hosmer-Lemeshow test showed that the model had poor calibration （χ²=20.688， P=0.008）. The Bootstrap method with 1000 repeated samples showed that the estimated values of lymphocyte percentage （OR=1.106， 95%CI： 1.049 — 1.186， P=0.002） and calcium ion （OR=0.005， 95%CI： 0.000 — 0.214， P=0.010） were consistent with the original model， and the confidence intervals did not include 1， which further supported the reliability of the model. ConclusionBoth lymphocyte percentage and blood calcium level are independent influencing factors for calcium salt deposition in alveolar echinococcosis， and the degree of calcium salt deposition in alveolar echinococcosis lesions increases with the reduction in blood calcium level and the increase in lymphocyte percentage.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of total flavonoids of Drynariae Rhizoma （TFRD） on autophagy and apoptosis in LPS-induced chondrocytes via the regulation of the Notch1/hairy and enhancer of split 1 （Notch1/Hes1） signaling axis. METHODS Human chondrocyte cell line C28/I2 cells were cultured with 5 μg/mL LPS to esta blish in vitro inflammatory injury model. The cells were separated into normal control group， model group， TFRD group （200 μg/mL）， TFRD+peroxiredoxin 1 （Prdx1） small interfering RNA （si-Prdx1） group and TFRD+si-Prdx1 negative control （si-NC） group， with 6 replicate wells in each group. Cells were transfected with si-Prdx1 or si-NC for 24 hours， pretreated with TFRD for 2 hours， and then exposed to LPS， with a total culture duration of 48 hours. Apoptotic rate， the proportion of apoptotic cells， monodansylcadaverine （MDC） fluorescence intensity， as well as the contents of matrix metalloproteinase-13 （MMP-13）， a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs 5 （ADAMTS5）， and cartilage oligomeric matrix protein （COMP） were measured. Additionally， the protein expression levels of X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis protein （XIAP）， poly（ADP-ribose） polymerase 1 （PARP1）， Beclin-1， microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 Ⅱ/Ⅰ （LC3-Ⅱ/Ⅰ）， PTEN-induced putative kinase 1 （PINK1）， Notch1， Hes1， and Prdx1 were assessed. RESULTS Compared with model group， the apoptotic rate， the proportion of apoptotic cells， the contents of MMP-13 and ADAMTS5 as well as protein expressions of PARP1 were significantly decreased， while MDC fluorescence intensity， COMP content， protein expressions of XIAP， Beclin-1， LC3-Ⅱ/Ⅰ， PINK1， Notch1， Hes1 and Prdx1 were significantly increased （ P ＜0.05）. Compared with TFRD+si-NC group， the changes in the aforementioned indicators （except for Notch1 and Hes1） in the cells of the TFRD+si-Prdx1 group were significantly reversed （ P ＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS TFRD may activate the Notch1/Hes1 signaling axis， and up-regulate the expression of the downstream target molecule Prdx1， thereby inhibiting LPS-induced chondrocyte apoptosis， promoting protective autophagy， and consequently improving cartilage metabolic homeostasis.

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a central neurodegenerative disease characterized by progressive cognitive decline and memory impairment in clinical. Currently, there are no effective treatments for AD. In recent years, a variety of therapeutic approaches from different perspectives have been explored to treat AD. Although the drug therapies targeted at the clearance of amyloid β-protein (Aβ) had made a breakthrough in clinical trials, there were associated with adverse events. Neuroinflammation plays a crucial role in the onset and progression of AD. Continuous neuroinflammatory was considered to be the third major pathological feature of AD, which could promote the formation of extracellular amyloid plaques and intracellular neurofibrillary tangles. At the same time, these toxic substances could accelerate the development of neuroinflammation, form a vicious cycle, and exacerbate disease progression. Reducing neuroinflammation could break the feedback loop pattern between neuroinflammation, Aβ plaque deposition and Tau tangles, which might be an effective therapeutic strategy for treating AD. Traditional Chinese herbs such as Polygonum multiflorum and Curcuma were utilized in the treatment of AD due to their ability to mitigate neuroinflammation. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen and indomethacin had been shown to reduce the level of inflammasomes in the body, and taking these drugs was associated with a low incidence of AD. Biosynthetic nanomaterials loaded with oxytocin were demonstrated to have the capability to anti-inflammatory and penetrate the blood-brain barrier effectively, and they played an anti-inflammatory role via sustained-releasing oxytocin in the brain. Transplantation of mesenchymal stem cells could reduce neuroinflammation and inhibit the activation of microglia. The secretion of mesenchymal stem cells could not only improve neuroinflammation, but also exert a multi-target comprehensive therapeutic effect, making it potentially more suitable for the treatment of AD. Enhancing the level of TREM2 in microglial cells using gene editing technologies, or application of TREM2 antibodies such as Ab-T1, hT2AB could improve microglial cell function and reduce the level of neuroinflammation, which might be a potential treatment for AD. Probiotic therapy, fecal flora transplantation, antibiotic therapy, and dietary intervention could reshape the composition of the gut microbiota and alleviate neuroinflammation through the gut-brain axis. However, the drugs of sodium oligomannose remain controversial. Both exercise intervention and electromagnetic intervention had the potential to attenuate neuroinflammation, thereby delaying AD process. This article focuses on the role of drug therapy, gene therapy, stem cell therapy, gut microbiota therapy, exercise intervention, and brain stimulation in improving neuroinflammation in recent years, aiming to provide a novel insight for the treatment of AD by intervening neuroinflammation in the future.

Diabetes is a very complex endocrine disease whose common feature is the increase in blood glucose concentration. Persistent hyperglycemia can lead to blindness, kidney and heart disease, neurodegeneration, and many other serious complications that have a significant impact on human health and quality of life. The number of people with diabetes is increasing yearly. The global diabetes prevalence in 20-79 year olds in 2021 was estimated to be 10.5% (536.6 million), and it will rise to 12.2% (783.2 million) in 2045. The main modes of intervention for diabetes include medication, dietary management, and exercise conditioning. Medication is the mainstay of treatment. Marketed diabetes drugs such as metformin and insulin, as well as GLP-1 receptor agonists, are effective in controlling blood sugar levels to some extent, but the preventive and therapeutic effects are still unsatisfactory. Peptide drugs have many advantages such as low toxicity, high target specificity, and good biocompatibility, which opens up new avenues for the treatment of diabetes and other diseases. Currently, insulin and its analogs are by far the main life-saving drugs in clinical diabetes treatment, enabling effective control of blood glucose levels, but the risk of hypoglycemia is relatively high and treatment is limited by the route of delivery. New and oral anti-diabetic drugs have always been a market demand and research hotspot. Inhibitor cystine knot (ICK) peptides are a class of multifunctional cyclic peptides. In structure, they contain three conserved disulfide bonds (C3-C20, C7-C22, and C15-C32) form a compact “knot” structure, which can resist degradation of digestive protease. Recent studies have shown that ICK peptides derived from legume, such as PA1b, Aglycin, Vglycin, Iglycin, Dglycin, and aM₁, exhibit excellent regulatory activities on glucose and lipid metabolism at the cellular and animal levels. Mechanistically, ICK peptides promote glucose utilization by muscle and liver through activation of IR/AKT signaling pathway, which also improves insulin resistance. They can repair the damaged pancrease through activation of PI3K/AKT/Erk signaling pathway, thus lowering blood glucose. The biostability and hypoglycemic efficacy of the ICK peptides meet the requirements for commercialization of oral drugs, and in theory, they can be developed into natural oral anti-diabetes peptide drugs. In this review, the structural properties, activity and mechanism of ICK pattern peptides in regulating glucose and lipid metabolism were summaried, which provided a reference for the development of new oral peptides for diabetes.

BACKGROUND:Magnetic nanomaterials have biological activities such as promoting osteogenic differentiation of stem cells and inhibiting osteoclast formation,and can effectively promote the healing of injured bone tissue under the synergistic effect of magnetic fields.They have a very broad application prospect in bone injury repair. OBJECTIVE:To review the mechanism of magnetic nanomaterials and magnetic fields promoting bone repair,as well as their research progress in the field of bone injury repair. METHODS:Relevant literature search was conducted in PubMed and Web of Science databases with the search terms"magnetic nanomaterials,magnetic field,bone repair,bone tissue engineering,stem cell,osteoblast,osteoclast."The time limit of literature search was from 2003 to 2023,which was screened and analyzed.Some classic articles were manually retrieved,and 98 articles were finally included for analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Magnetic nanomaterials have biological effects such as promoting osteoblast differentiation,inhibiting osteoclast formation and regulating the immune microenvironment.In addition,magnetic nanomaterials can regulate the physicochemical properties of tissue engineering scaffolds,such as mechanical properties and surface morphology,and endowed with magnetic properties,which is conducive to the regulation of the adhesion,proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of stem cells.(2)The magnetic field has the ability to regulate multiple cell signaling pathways to promote osteoblast differentiation,inhibit osteoclast formation,stimulate angiogenesis and other biological effects,thus accelerating the healing of damaged bone tissue.(3)The joint application of magnetic nanomaterials and magnetic field accelerates the repair of bone damage by activating mechanotransduction,increasing the content of intracellular magnetic nanoparticles,and enhancing the effect of micro-magnetic field,which provides a new idea for the research of bone tissue engineering.(4)Magnetic field has demonstrated definite efficacy in the treatment of clinical fractures,osteoporosis,and osteoarthritis diseases,which is beneficial for bone tissue growth,reducing bone loss,alleviating pain,and improving the quality of life of patients.(5)Magnetic nanomaterials and magnetic fields have great potential for application in bone damage repair and regeneration,but the interaction mechanism between magnetic nanomaterials,magnetic fields,and cells has not been fully elucidated.Moreover,the key parameters of magnetic fields that regulate intracellular molecular events,including the type,intensity,frequency,duration,and mode of the magnetic field,as well as the precise biological effects of a specific magnetic field on osteoblasts and the underlying mechanisms,have yet to be defined.(6)Further attention needs to be paid to the effects on osteoclasts,nerves,blood vessels,and immune cells in the microenvironment of damaged tissues.Finally,the safety of magnetic materials for human use is yet to be systematically studied in terms of their distribution,metabolism,and acute and chronic toxicities.

BACKGROUND:Acupuncture is an effective method for lumbar pain in lumbar disc herniation,but its mechanism has not yet been clarified.Factors related to the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway regulate the body's inflammatory response and are involved in the process of neuropathic pain. OBJECTIVE:To study the mechanism of acupuncture on lumbar disc herniation in a rat model based on the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway. METHODS:Forty Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into four groups:sham operation group,model group,acupuncture group,and acupuncture+agonist group,with 10 rats in each group.Animal models of L5 lumbar disc herniation was constructed through autologous disc cell transplantation in the model group,acupuncture group,and acupuncture+agonist group.Rats in the acupuncture group and the acupuncture+agonist group received acupuncture treatment(Yanglingquan,Shenshu,Huantiao,and Dachangshu acupoints)at 3 days after modeling,and acupuncture treatment was given once a day,20 minutes each,for 15 consecutive days.Rats in the acupuncture+agonist group were injected intrathecally with coumermycin A1,a JAK2 agonist,into the L4/L5 intervertebral space,once a day,20 minutes each,prior to the acupuncture at 6,12,and 18 days after modeling.Paw withdrawal mechanical threshold was detected before and 3,6,9,12,15,and 18 days after modeling.At 18 days after modeling,serum inflammatory factor levels were detected,hematoxylin-eosin staining was performed to observe the morphology of L5-L6 tissues,RT-PCR was performed to detect the expression of JAK2 and STAT3 mRNAs in L5-L6 tissues,and western blot was performed to detect the expression of JAK2,p-JAK2 and p-STAT3 proteins in L5-L6 tissues. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The paw withdrawal mechanical thresholds of rats in the model group at different time points after modeling were lower than those in the sham operation group(P<0.05),the paw withdrawal mechanical thresholds of rats in the acupuncture group were higher than those in the model group at 9,12,15,and 18 days after modeling(P<0.05),and the paw withdrawal mechanical thresholds of rats in the acupuncture+agonist group were lower than those in the acupuncture group at 9,12,15,and 18 days after modeling(P<0.05).The levels of interleukin 6,tumor necrosis factor α,neurotransmitter substance P,and brain neuropeptide Y were elevated in the model group compared with the sham operation group(P<0.05);the levels of all four inflammatory factors were reduced in the acupuncture group compared with the model group(P<0.05);and the levels of all four inflammatory factors were elevated in the acupuncture+agonist group compared with the acupuncture group(P<0.05).Hematoxylin-eosin staining showed that lumbar degeneration was obvious in the model group but reduced in the acupuncture group and the acupuncture+agonist group.Moreover,the reduction was more obvious in the acupuncture group compared with the acupuncture+agonist group.The JAK2 and STAT3 mRNA expression as well as the p-JAK2 and p-STAT3 protein expression were elevated in the model group compared with the sham operation group(P<0.05),were decreased in the acupuncture group compared with the model group(P<0.05),and were increased in the acupuncture+agonist group compared with the acupuncture group(P<0.05).To conclude,acupuncture can alleviate inflammation to exert analgesic effects in the rat model of lumbar disc herniation,and its mechanism of action may be related to the inhibition of the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway.
