Objective To systematically analyze the characteristics of the disease burden of hypertensive heart disease (HHD) in the elderly (≥60 years) globally and in China from 1990 to 2021, and to predict its future trends from 2022 to 2040, with the aim of providing data support for optimizing comprehensive prevention and control strategies for HHD. Methods Based on the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2021 database, the number of prevalent cases and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) of HHD in the elderly were extracted for the world, China, and five regions categorized by sociodemographic index (SDI). Joinpoint regression was used to analyze the temporal trends of age-standardized prevalence rate and age-standardized DALYs rate of HHD in the elderly. A three-factor decomposition method was applied to evaluate the relative contributions of aging, population growth, and epidemiological changes to the variations in the elderly HHD burden. Additionally, a Bayesian age-period-cohort model was used to predict the elderly HHD burden from 2022 to 2040. Results In 2021, the number of prevalent elderly HHD cases reached 10 283 000 globally and 3 412 400 in China, representing increases of 179.20% and 159.20% respectively, compared with 1990. The DALYs of elderly HHD were 18 812 700 person-years globally and 4 731 400 person-years in China, rising by 76.08% and 29.45% respectively from 1990. Meanwhile, the growth rates of the number of prevalent cases and DALYs of elderly HHD varied across different SDI regions. From 1990 to 2021, the age-standardized prevalence rate of elderly HHD in China, as well as the age-standardized DALYs rate of elderly HHD both globally and in China, showed significant downward trends (all average annual percentage changes<0, all P<0.001). In 2021, the 70-74 years age group accounted for the highest proportion of prevalent cases and DALYs of elderly HHD, both globally and in China. Decomposition analysis revealed that population growth was the dominant factor driving the increase in the elderly HHD burden across all regions. The prediction model results indicated that the number of prevalent cases and DALYs of elderly HHD would continue to rise globally and in China from 2022 to 2040, with the growth rate of the elderly HHD burden in China between 2021 and 2040 expected to exceed the global average. Conclusion Over the past 32 years, although the age-standardized disease rates of elderly HHD have mainly shown a downward trend globally and in China, the absolute number of the disease burden has increased substantially. The projection model indicates a continued upward trajectory, with the growth rate in China higher than the global average. Therefore, there is an urgent need to implement precise prevention and control strategies to effectively mitigate the disease burden of elderly HHD.

ObjectiveTo generate cynomolgus and rhesus monkey models carrying the Booroola fecundity (FecB) variant of bone morphogenetic protein receptor type 1B (BMPR1B) gene (designated BMPR1B^FecB) using adenine base edit technology and to explore genetic improvement strategies for enhancing the reproductive performance of laboratory macaques. MethodsFour single-guide RNAs (sgRNAs) were designed to target the BMPR1B c.746A>G locus in cynomolgus and rhesus monkeys. The sgRNAs were combined with the ABE8e-SpRY base editor, and the resulting editing complexes were microinjected into zygotes of both macaque species. Following in vitro culture of the injected embryos, nested PCR amplification was performed to detect the base-editing efficiency at the target site to screen for highly efficient sgRNAs. Subsequently, normally developing gene-edited embryos were transferred into the oviducts of surrogates. Seven days after birth, ear skin or peripheral blood samples were collected from the newborn monkeys for genotyping and mosaicism analysis, and the growth, development, and health status of the gene-edited monkeys were monitored. ResultsAmong the four candidate sgRNAs, sgRNA4 was identified as achieving 100% editing efficiency at the c.746A>G site. A total of 17 live monkey offspring were obtained via embryo transfer, including 8 cynomolgus monkeys and 9 rhesus monkeys. Genotyping results showed that all 8 newborn cynomolgus monkeys carried the c.746A>G point mutation, with an editing efficiency of 100% (8/8), of which 37.50% (3/8) were mosaics. Among the 9 newborn rhesus monkeys, 8 individuals carried the c.746A>G mutation, with an editing efficiency of 88.89% (8/9), of which 75.00% (6/8) were mosaics. ConclusionThe ABE8e-SpRY base-editing system enables precise editing at the c.746A>G (p.Q249R) locus of the BMPR1B gene in both cynomolgus and rhesus monkey embryos, resulting in the successful establishment of laboratory monkey models carrying the BMPR1B^FecB variant. These models provide a valuable foundation for future studies of the regulatory role of the BMPR1B^FecB variant in reproductive performance at the non‑human primate level, as well as for exploring genetic improvement strategies to enhance reproductive performance in laboratory monkeys.

ObjectiveTo investigate the mechanism of the modified of Bazhentang combined with Guishentang in improving pregnancy outcomes in mouse models of embryo implantation dysfunction by regulating T helper 1/T helper 2 （Th1/Th2） immune balance. MethodsEighty ICR female mice were randomly divided into four groups （n=20 per group） on gestational day 1 （GD1）： control， model， western medicine， and traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） groups. Except for the control group， all mice received mifepristone solution （0.2 mg/mouse） via oral gavage on GD4 to induce embryo implantation dysfunction. The TCM group received a water decoction of the modified of Bazhentang combined with Guishentang （20.8 g·kg^-1）， with the western medicine group administered dydrogesterone （3.9 mg·kg^-1）， and the control/model groups given equal volumes of saline. All treatments were administered once daily from GD1 until one day before sample collection. Outcomes included implantation site counts （macroscopic observation）， pregnancy rates， body weight， endometrial histopathology （hematoxylin-eosin staining）， uterine expression of T-box expressed in T cells （T-bet）， GATA-binding protein 3 （GATA3）， interferon gamma （IFN-γ）， and interleukin-4 （IL-4） at protein （Western blot） and mRNA （real-time polymerase chain reaction， Real-time PCR） levels， serum IFN-γ and IL-4 levels （enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay， ELISA）， and Th1/Th2 immune balance evaluated by calculating T-bet/GATA3 and IFN-γ/IL-4 ratios. ResultsCompared to the control group， the model group showed no significant change in pregnancy rate but exhibited a marked reduction in average implantation sites and body weight （P<0.01）. Histopathological analysis revealed endometrial abnormalities， including decreased glandular density， stromal compaction， and absence of nucleolar vacuoles. At the molecular level， uterine tissue in the model group demonstrated significantly upregulated expression of T-bet and IFN-γ （P<0.05， P<0.01）， alongside markedly downregulated GATA3 and IL-4 expression （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Serum analysis confirmed markedly elevated IFN-γ （P<0.01） and reduced IL-4 levels （P<0.01）， resulting in significantly increased T-bet/GATA3 and IFN-γ/IL-4 ratios （P<0.01）. Compared to the model group， pregnancy rates in all treatment groups showed no significant change. Implantation sites and body weight increased substantially （P<0.01）， with restored endometrial morphology characterized by enhanced glandular density， stromal edema， and reappearance of nucleolar vacuoles. Significant downregulation of T-bet and IFN-γ （P<0.01） and upregulation of GATA3 and IL-4 （P<0.05， P<0.01） in uterine tissue were observed. Serum IFN-γ levels were significantly reduced （P<0.05， P<0.01）， while IL-4 levels were significantly elevated （P<0.05）. The Th1/Th2 ratios were significantly decreased （P<0.01）. ConclusionThe modified of Bazhentang combined with Guishentang significantly enhances the number of embryo implantation sites in mice with embryo implantation dysfunction， potentially through modulating T-bet/GATA3 expression， restoring Th1/Th2 immune balance， and improving endometrial receptivity.

Objective To investigate the inhibitory effect of morin on the cell cycle progression and prolif-eration ability of lung adenocarcinoma cells by regulating the transforming growth factor β1(TGF-β1)/Smads signaling pathway.Methods Human lung adenocarcinoma cell line A549 was used for in vitro experiments.Different concentrations of morin(0,30,90,150 μg/mL)were used to treat human lung adenocarcinoma cell line A549.Cell survival rate was detected by CCK-8 method,cell cycle distribution was detected by Hoechst 33342 staining method,cell proliferation ability was detected by clone formation assay,cell invasion ability was detected by Transwell invasion assay,cell apoptosis was detected by TUNEL staining method,and the expres-sion levels of TGF-β1/Smads signaling pathway related proteins were analyzed by Western blot.Results CCK-8 experimental results showed that the survival rate of A549 cells in the morin-treated group significantly decreased with the increase in morin concentration(P＜0.05).The results of Hoechst 33342 staining showed that the proportion of G1 phase cells in the morin-treated group significantly increased,and the proportion of S phase and G2/M phase cells significantly decreased(P＜0.05).The results of the colony formation assay showed that the number of colonies formed in the morin-treated group was significantly less than that in the control group,and the colony formation rates in the 90 μg/mL and 150 μg/mL groups were reduced by approximately 50％and 70％respectively(P＜0.05).Transwell invasion assay results showed that the number of invasive cells in the morin-treated group was significantly reduced(P＜0.05).TUNEL staining results showed that the proportion of apoptotic cells in the morin-treated group significantly increased(P＜0.05).Western blot results showed that the expression levels of TGF-β1 and p-Smad2/3 in the morin-treated group were significantly reduced(P＜0.05),and the expression level of Smad7 was significantly in-creased(P＜0.05).Conclusion Morin blocks A549 cells in the G1 phase by regulating the TGF-β1/Smads signaling pathway,thereby inhibiting cell proliferation,reducing cell invasion ability,and inducing cell apopto-sis.This indicates that morin has potential application value in the treatment of lung adenocarcinoma.

Objective To discover the mechanism by which miR-1287-5p affects the sensitivity of human esophageal cancer cell line KYSE30 to paclitaxel.Methods KYSE30 cells were divided into control group,group of transfected with miR-1287-5p mimic and inhibitor groups.RT-qPCR was used to detect the transfection rate.A paclitaxel-resistant cell line was established and cell viability and half inhibitory concentration(IC50)were detected by CCK-8 assay.The scratch test,Transwell chamber test and TUNEL method were used to evaluate the migration,invasion and apoptosis of cells.Western blot and immunocytochemistry(ICC)were used to detect the expression and localization of Akt and GSK-3β in cells.Results The expression level of miR-1287-5p in the miR-1287-5p mimic group was significantly higher than that in the miR-NC group and control group(P＜0.05),while the ex-pression level of the miR-1287-5p inhibitor group was significantly lower than that in miR-NC group and control group(P＜0.05).The cell survival rate of the miR-1287-5p mimic group was higher than that of the miR-NC group and the miR-1287-5p inhibitor group(P＜0.05).The cell migration rate and number of invasive cells in the miR-1287-5p mimic group were higher than those of the miR-NC group(P＜0.05),and the apoptosis rate was lower than that of the miR-NC group(P＜0.05).While in miR-1287-5p,the cell migration rate was lower and invasive cells were less in the inhibitor group and the apoptosis rate was increased as compared to the miR-NC group(P＜0.05).The expression of Akt and GSK-3β in the miR-1287-5p mimic group was significantly increased than in the miR-NC group(P＜0.05),while the expression in the miR-1287-5p inhibitor group was significantly inhibited than in miR-NC group(P＜0.05).Conclusions Up-regulation of miR-1287-5p can promote the migration and invasion of paclitaxel-resistant cell lines,inhibit cell apoptosis and thereby promote the development of paclitaxel resistance.

G protein-coupled receptors(GPCRs)are the largest family of membrane proteins in eukaryotes,with nearly 800 genes coding for these proteins.They are involved in many physiological processes,such as light perception,taste and smell,neurotransmitter,metabolism,endocrine and exocrine,cell growth and migration.Importantly,GPCRs and their ligands are the targets of approximately one third of all mar-keted drugs.GPCRs are traditionally known for their role in transmitting signals from the extracellular environment to the cell's interior via the plasma membrane.However,emerging evidence suggests that GPCRs are also localized on mitochondria,where they play critical roles in modulating mitochondrial functions.These mitochondrial GPCRs(mGPCRs)can influence processes such as mitochondrial respi-ration,apoptosis,and reactive oxygen species(ROS)production.By interacting with mitochondrial signaling pathways,mGPCRs contribute to the regulation of energy metabolism and cell survival.Their presence on mitochondria adds a new layer of complexity to the understanding of cellular signaling,highlighting the organelle's role as not just an energy powerhouse but also a crucial hub for signal transduction.This expanding understanding of mGPCR function on mitochondria opens new avenues for research,particularly in the context of diseases where mitochondrial dysfunction plays a key role.Ab-normalities in the phase conductance pathway of GPCRs located on mitochondria are closely associated with the development of systemic diseases such as cardiovascular disease,diabetes,obesity and Alz-heimer's disease.In this review,we examined the various types of GPCRs identified on mitochondrial membranes and analyzed the complex relationships between mGPCRs and the pathogenesis of various diseases.We aim to provide a clearer understanding of the emerging significance of mGPCRs in health and disease,and to underscore their potential as therapeutic targets in the treatment of these conditions.

Cervical spinal cord injury without fracture-dislocation (CSCIWFD) is referred to as a special type of cervical spinal cord injury characterized by traumatic spinal cord dysfunction and no significant bony structural abnormalities on imagines. Duo to the high risk of missed diagnosis during the initial consultation, CSCIWFD may lead to progressive neurological deterioration or even complete paralysis, severely impacting patients′ prognosis. Currently, there are no established consensuses over the diagnosis and treatment of CSCIWFD, such as the lack of evidence-based standards for indications of non-surgical treatment and risk of secondary neurological injury, as well as debates over the optimal timing for surgical intervention and indications for different surgical approaches. To address these issues, the Spine Trauma Group of the Orthopedic Branch of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association organized experts in the relevant fields to formulate Diagnosis and treatment guideline for acute cervical spinal cord injury without fracture- dislocation in adults ( version 2025) . Based on evidence-based medicine and the principles of scientific rigor and clinical applicability, the guidelines proposed 11 recommendations covering terminology, diagnosis, evaluation treatment, and rehabilitation, etc., aiming to standardize the management of CSCIWFD.

With the rapid development of competitive sports, the incidence of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury is on the rise. Such injuries may shorten athletes′ career and lead to other long-term adverse consequences. Although athletes generally recover well after ACL reconstruction, many still struggle to return to their pre-injury performance levels. Advances in the understanding of ACL anatomy and injury mechanisms, along with the evolution of surgical techniques and rehabilitation methods, have provided more individualized and tailored options for athletes following ACL injuries. However, there is currently no consensus in China regarding surgical and rehabilitation strategies for competitive athletes aiming to return to sports after ACL injuries. To this end, the Sports Medicine Committee of the Chinese Research Hospital Association and the Editorial Board of the Chinese Journal of Trauma jointly formulated the Expert consensus on surgical treatment and rehabilitation for competitive sports athletes returning to sports after anterior cruciate ligament injury ( version 2025), and presented 14 recommendations covering surgical indications, preoperative rehabilitation, surgical timing, surgical strategies and postoperative rehabilitation strategies, aiming to improve the surgical treatment and rehabilitation system for ACL injuries in competitive athletes and facilitate their return to high-level sports performance after injury.
