Sarcopenia, characterized by the loss of muscle mass and function, significantly impacts the quality of life in older adults and has emerged as a major global public health challenge.With the aging population, the incidence of sarcopenia continues to rise, necessitating urgent in-depth studies on effective treatments and its pathogenesis.Exosomes serve as effective carriers for intercellular substance transfer, participating in the physiological regulation and pathological changes of organic cells by transporting specific nucleic acids, proteins, and lipids.Although the potential role of exosomes in sarcopenia has been identified, the specific mechanisms remain poorly understood, and clinical applications are still in the early stages of exploration.This review outlines the role of exosomes from various sources in the communication of skeletal muscle satellite cells and their impact on the occurrence and development of sarcopenia.It also explores their potential applications as biomarkers and therapeutic strategies, providing new ideas and directions for the prevention and treatment of sarcopenia.As research progresses, exosomes are expected to lead to novel treatment options for patients with sarcopenia, ultimately improving their quality of life and health.

The extraordinary advantages associated with mRNA vaccines, including their high efficiency, relatively low severity of side effects, and ease of manufacture, have enabled them to be a promising immunotherapy approach against various infectious diseases and cancers. Nevertheless, most mRNA delivery carriers have many disadvantages, such as high toxicity, poor biocompatibility, and low efficiency in vivo, which have hindered the widespread use of mRNA vaccines. To further characterize and solve these problems and develop a new type of safe and efficient mRNA delivery carrier, a negatively charged SA@DOTAP-mRNA nanovaccine was prepared in this study by coating DOTAP-mRNA with the natural anionic polymer sodium alginate (SA). Intriguingly, the transfection efficiency of SA@DOTAP-mRNA was significantly higher than that of DOTAP-mRNA, which was not due to the increase in cellular uptake but was associated with changes in the endocytosis pathway and the strong lysosome escape ability of SA@DOTAP-mRNA. In addition, we found that SA significantly increased the expression of LUC-mRNA in mice and achieved certain spleen targeting. Finally, we confirmed that SA@DOTAP-mRNA had a stronger antigen-presenting ability in E. G7-OVA tumor-bearing mice, dramatically inducing the proliferation of OVA-specific CLTs and ameliorating the antitumor effect. Therefore, we firmly believe that the coating strategy applied to cationic liposome/mRNA complexes is of potential research value in the field of mRNA delivery and has promising clinical application prospects.

Objective:To compare the effects of deep anesthesia extubation with sugammadex and neostigmine on perioperative respiratory adverse events (PRAE) and the duration of anesthesia recovery room (PACU) in children undergoing adenoidectomy.Methods:The clinical data of 470 children with adenoidectomy who underwent deep anesthesia extubation from February 2021 to April 2022 in Shenzhen Hospital of Southern Medical University were retrospectively analyzed. According to the use of muscle relaxant, they were divided into sugammadex group (group S) and neostigmine group (group N). Group S was intravenously injected with sugammadex 2 mg/kg after operation, and group N was intravenously injected with neostigemine 0.05 mg/kg combined with atropine 0.02 mg/kg when the train-of-four (TOF) value was >25%. The extubation time and PACU residence time of the two groups were recorded. Changes of heart rate (HR) and mean arterial pressure (MAP) immediately after surgery (T 0), within 1min after extubation (T 1), 5 min after extubation (T 2), and 20 min after extubation (T 3). PRAE was record. Results:There were 138 cases of propensity score matching in group S and group N respectively. The extubation time and PACU residence time in group S were shorter than those in group N (all P<0.05). At T 1, T 2 and T 3, HR and MAP in group S were significantly lower than those in group N (all P<0.05). The incidence of persistent cough and decreased blood oxygen in group S was lower than that in group N (all P<0.05). Conclusions:Compared with neostigmine, postoperative deep anesthesia extubation with sugammadex antagonistic residual muscle relaxant can shorten the duration of extubation and PACU retention after adenoidectomy, accelerate the recovery of children, make the peri-extubation cycle more stable, and reduce the occurrence of PRAE.
