BACKGROUND:Currently,miR-196b-5p has been found to play a role in cell proliferation,migration and inhibition of scar hyperplasia,but there is a lack of relevant studies on whether it plays a role in the process of wound healing.OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of miR-196b-5p in adipose stem cell-derived exosomes on burn wound healing.METHODS:The models of deep second degree skin burn in SD rats were established and randomly divided into four groups:blank control group,exosome group,agomiR-196b-5p group,and exosome+antagomiR-196b-5p group,with 10 rats in each group.PBS,adipose-derived stem cell-derived exosomes,miR-196b-5p agonist,and miR-196b-5p inhibitor were injected around the wound according to different groups.Wound healing was observed immediately after injury and on days 7,14,and 21 after injury.On day 7 after surgery,hematoxylin-eosin staining was used to observe the expression of inflammation in the wound surface.On day 14 after suregery,Masson staining was used to observe the expression of collagen and immunohistochemical staining was used to observe the expression of CD31 in the wound surface.On day 7 after surgery,western blot assay was performed to detect the expression of α-smooth muscle actin and type Ⅰ collagen in the wound surface.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)The wound healing was faster in the agomiR-196b-5p group,while it was slower in the blank control group and the exosome+antagomiR-196b-5p group.(2)Compared with the blank control group and the exosome+antagomiR-196b-5p group,the wound infiltration of inflammatory cells was less in the exosome group and the agomiR-196b-5p group,and the expression of CD31 was significantly increased(P＜0.01).(3)Compared with the blank control group and the exosome+antagomiR-196b-5p group,the expression levels of α-smooth muscle actin and type Ⅰ collagen were increased in the exosome group and the agomiR-196b-5p group(P＜0.05).These findings indicate that miR-196b-5p in adipose stem cell-derived exosomes can promote burn wound healing in rats.

ObjectiveThis paper aims to analyze the damage degree of muscle tone in rats with spasticity of cerebral apoplexy （SCA） and the expression of Nestin and β-catenin in the M1 region of the cerebral cortex， thereby investigating the action mechanism of different doses of Shaoyao Gancaotang on rats with SCA. MethodsThe rats were randomly divided into a blank group， a model group， a positive control group （baclofen， 5.25 mg·kg^-1）， and low， medium， and high-dose groups of Shaoyao Gancaotang （2.1， 4.2， 8.4 g·kg^-1）， with nine rats in each group. A rat model with SCA was established by using a modified phrenic nerve block combined with intraventricular injection of anhydrous ethanol. Following behavioral scoring to confirm model validity， drug interventions were conducted. Neurological deficits and muscle tone were evaluated by behavioral assessments. The open field test was used to measure locomotor distance. Transmission electron microscopy was employed to examine the synaptic structures. Skeletal muscle adenosine triphosphate （ATP）ase staining was used to analyze myofibrillar changes. Hematoxylin and eosin （HE） staining was used to observe the histomorphological changes. Immunohistochemistry， Real-time polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR）， and Western blot were employed to detect mRNA levels and protein expressions of Nestin and β-catenin in the M1 region of the cerebral cortex. ResultsCompared with the blank group， rats in the model group exhibited significantly increased neurological deficit scores （P<0.01）， markedly elevated muscle tone scores （P<0.01）， substantially reduced locomotor distance （P<0.01）， prominent structural swelling and blurring， severe destruction of cerebral cortical cells， a significant increase in the proportion of skeletal muscle ATPase type Ⅰ fibers （P<0.01）， a significant decrease in mRNA levels and protein expression of Nestin （P<0.01）， and a significant increase in mRNA levels and protein expression of β-catenin （P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， the Shaoyao Gancaotang group exhibited reduced neurological deficit scores and muscle tone scores in rats with SCA （P<0.01） and increased locomotor distance （P<0.01）. Transmission electron microscopy revealed clearer and more intact synaptic structures in the rats from the Shaoyao Gancaotang group， with increased vesicle numbers and improved morphology. HE staining revealed intact neuronal cell structures with regular arrangement and reduced vacuolated cells in the rats from Shaoyao Gancaotang. ATPase staining result indicated a decreased proportion of type Ⅰ muscle fibers in the rats from the Shaoyao Gancaotang group （P<0.01）. Real-time PCR results demonstrated increased mRNA expressions of Nestin and β-catenin in the rats from the Shaoyao Gancaotang group （P<0.01）. Immunohistochemistry and western blot analyses indicated elevated protein expressions of Nestin and β-catenin in rats with SCA from the Shaoyao Gancaotang group （P<0.05， P<0.01）. ConclusionShaoyao Gancaotang may improve neurological function impairment and limb spasticity in model rats with SCA by regulating the proliferation and differentiation of neural stem cells in the cerebral cortex M1 region.

Lung cancer remains the most prevalent malignancy worldwide, with the highest incidence and mortality rates. Its complex tumor microenvironment (TME) poses major challenges for conventional two-dimensional (2D) culture systems and animal models, which fail to accurately reproduce in vivo pathological conditions. In recent years, three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting technology—featuring controllable spatial resolution, multi-cell co-printing capability, and structural reproducibility—has emerged as a powerful tool for reconstructing the lung cancer TME. This review systematically summarizes recent progress in 3D bioprinted lung cancer models, encompassing printing techniques, optimization of bio-ink systems, model construction strategies, and the clinical relevance of drug sensitivity testing. Particular attention is given to vascularization and immune co-culture approaches that recapitulate tumor heterogeneity, metabolic gradients, and immune interactions. The advantages of 3D bioprinted models over traditional 2D cultures in predicting therapeutic responses and enabling precision drug screening and personalized treatment are also highlighted. Future research should focus on standardizing bio-ink formulations, integrating patient-derived organoids with microfluidic platforms, and establishing robust evaluation systems to facilitate the clinical translation and application of 3D bioprinting in precision lung cancer diagnosis and therapy.

OBJECTIVE To explore the effects and potential mechanism of Huangqi jianzhong decoction on intestinal inflammation in the rats of irritable bowel syndrome with diarrhea （IBS-D） based on the mitogen-activated protein kinase （MAPK）/ nuclear factor-κB （NF-κB） signaling pathway. METHODS Male SD rats were selected. Ten rats were randomly chosen as the control group， and the remaining rats （50 rats） were used to prepare the IBS-D model by acetic acid enema+restraint stress. The rats with successful modeling were randomly divided into the IBS-D group， the traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） group （Huangqi jianzhong decoction 15 g/kg）， the positive control drug group （Rifaximin tablets 150 mg/kg）， the activator group （anisomycin 125 μg/kg， the activator of p38 MAPK）， and the TCM+activator group （Huangqi jianzhong decoction 15 g/kg+ anisomycin 125 μg/kg）， with 10 rats in each group. Rats in each group were given a gavage or tail vein injection of the corresponding medicine liquid or the same volume of normal saline， once a day for two consecutive weeks. After the last administration， feces within 24 hours were collected for the calculation of fecal water content and fecal trait score， and the minimum volume threshold was detected. The levels of tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α）， interleukin-1β （IL-1β）， and IL-6 in serum were detected； the pathological changes of colonic tissue were observed； the expressions of tight junction protein ZO-1， occludin mRNAs and proteins related to the MAPK/NF- κB signaling pathway in colonic tissue were determined. RESULTS Compared with the control group， obvious edema and inflammatory cell infiltration could be observed in the colonic tissue of rats in the IBS-D group. The fecal water content and trait score， serum levels of inflammatory factors， as well as the protein phosphorylation levels of p38 MAPK and NF-κB p65 in the colonic tissue were significantly increased， while the minimum volume threshold and the mRNA expressions of ZO-1 and occludin were significantly decreased or down-regulated （P＜0.05）. Compared with the IBS-D group， the pathological changes of colonic tissue in the TCM group and positive control drug group were alleviated， and the above indicators improved significantly （P＜0.05）， while the above indicators in the activator group deteriorated further （P＜0.05）. Compared with the TCM group， the above indicators in the TCM+activator group were significantly reversed （P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS Huangqi jianzhong decoction can alleviate colonic inflammation in IBS-D rats， relieve visceral hypersensitivity， and has a certain protective effect on their intestinal barrier function. The above-mentioned effects may be related to the inhibition of the MAPK/NF- κB signaling pathway.

ObjectiveTo multidimensionally analyze the clinical effects of Qianyang Yuyin granules on elderly hypertensive patients through an "energy-inflammation-aging" network. MethodsRelevant datasets were retrieved from the GEO database. Gene set enrichment analysis （GSEA） was performed on the gene expression profiles of peripheral blood cells from patients with essential hypertension in dataset GSE24752. The GSEA referenced "GO gene sets" and "KEGG gene sets" to identify significantly enriched gene sets. A clinical trial was conducted using a randomized controlled study design. A total of 40 patients meeting the inclusion criteria were enrolled. The control group received standard antihypertensive treatment with angiotensin receptor blockers （ARBs） or combined calcium channel blockers （CCBs）. In contrast，the treatment group received Qianyang Yuyin Granules in addition to the standard treatment for 12 weeks. Blood pressure levels and clinical efficacy were observed，and changes in energy metabolism indicators，DNA damage markers，and senescence-associated secretory phenotype （SASP） in blood were measured using ELISA before and after treatment. ResultsGSEA results indicated significant energy metabolism dysregulation in hypertensive patients. Clinical findings showed that both groups achieved blood pressure control without significant intergroup differences. In terms of clinical efficacy，the treatment group had a significantly higher effective rate compared to the control group （95% vs 65%，P0.05）. After treatment，the treatment group showed a significant increase in NAD⁺ levels （P0.01），with higher levels compared to the control group （P0.05）. The treatment group also exhibited a greater reduction in DNA damage marker 8-OHdG （P0.01） and cell adhesion factors ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 （P0.01） compared to the control group. Pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1β and IL-6 were significantly reduced in the treatment group （P0.01），with greater reductions compared to the control group （P0.05，P0.01）. Anti-inflammatory cytokines IFN-α，IL-4，and IL-10 were significantly elevated in the treatment group （P0.01），with higher levels compared to the control group （P0.01）. No significant adverse reactions were reported in either group. ConclusionThe "energy- inflammation- aging" network plays an important role in the pathological mechanism of hypertension patients. Qianyang Yuyin granules may delay the aging process by increasing patients' energy metabolism levels，reducing DNA oxidative damage，and maintaining the balance of inflammatory factors.
