This paper reviews research progress on a antibacterial-remineralization-infiltration synergistic strategy for the prevention and treatment of dental hard tissue diseases. Dental caries is a chronic infectious disease caused by cariogenic bacteria. Traditional fluoride prevention methods are unable to effectively halt the progression of deep caries due to limited antibacterial capacity and poor deep penetration. To address this, researchers have proposed an interruption of dental caries strategy that integrates antibacterial, remineralization, and infiltration functions. This approach utilizes antibacterial components, such as metal ions, antibacterial peptides, and nanoparticles, to suppress cariogenic bacterial activity. Bioactive glass and amorphous calcium phosphate materials induce in situ hydroxyapatite deposition to achieve dental hard tissue remineralization. Simultaneously, the materials penetrate deep into the micro-pores of a lesion via high permeability, forming a physical barrier that blocks acid erosion and plaque re-invasion. This strategy is applicable not only for minimally invasive intervention in early caries but also extends to treating non-carious conditions, such as dentine hypersensitivity, wedge-shaped defect, and tooth erosion. Multiple in vitro and animal studies demonstrate that multifunctional coatings and nanocomposite systems developed under this systemic approach significantly enhance treatment efficacy for dental hard tissue diseases. Future advancements in biomimetic materials and smart delivery systems hold promise for achieving higher levels of structure-function reconstruction, which will propel dental hard tissue disease treatment toward precision, minimally invasive, and intelligent approaches.

Objective:To estimate the burden of influenza-associated outpatient consultations in China from 2011 to 2021 surveillance years to provide a reference for developing influenza prevention, control strategies, and vaccination policies.Methods:Data on influenza-like illness (ILI) and virological confirmation of sentinel specimens from 2011 to 2021 surveillance years were extracted from China's national sentinel surveillance system. Generalized additive models were fitted to estimate influenza-associated excess ILI outpatient burden, accounting for seasonal baselines and meteorological factors.Results:Influenza was associated with an average of 1.66 (95% CI: 1.51-1.80) excess ILI consultations per 1 000 person-years (py) in China each year from 2011 to 2021 surveillance years. The influenza-associated outpatient burden was similar across different virus types/subtypes. Influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 led to a higher rate of influenza- associated ILI consultations [0.65 (95% CI: 0.53-0.76) per 1 000 py] compared to other types/subtypes. The age groups with the highest burdens were children aged 0-4 years and 5-14 years, with excess outpatient consultation rates of 15.23 (95% CI: 13.73-16.73) per 1 000 py and 13.53 (95% CI: 12.49-14.52) per 1 000 py, respectively. Conclusions:Influenza caused many outpatient consultations in China, particularly among children aged 0-14. Continuous influenza monitoring and disease burden assessment should be conducted, and close attention should be paid to the changing trends of various influenza virus types/subtypes. When formulating vaccination strategies, priority should be given to recommending vaccination for high-risk populations, such as children.

AIM: To assess the effectiveness of selective laser trabeculoplasty(SLT)in the treatment of primary open angle glaucoma(POAG).METHODS:Totally 24 patients(33 eyes)with POAG who had poor control of intraocular pressure(IOP)from June 2022 to December 2023 were included in this retrospective study, and all of them were treated with SLT. Furthermore, the IOP, mean deviation(MD), mean sensitivity(MS), and the thickness and vascular density(VD)of optic disc nerve layer were compared after treatment. RESULTS: There were significant reducion in IOP at 1, 3, 6, 12 mo after treatment(all P<0.001). There were no statistically significant differences in MD and MS before treatment and at 6 and 12 mo after treatment(all P>0.05), and there were no statistical significant differences in the thickness and VD of optic disc(all P>0.05).CONCLUSION: SLT can significantly reduce IOP in POAG patients in the short term, without damaging the visual field and optic disc nerves, while the effectiveness of SLT decreases over time.

Eight previously undescribed lanostane triterpenoids, including five nortriterpenoids with 26 carbons, ganothenoids A-E (1-5), and three lanostanoids, ganothenoids F-H (6-8), along with 24 known ones (9-32), were isolated from the fruiting bodies of Ganodrma theaecolum. The structures of the novel compounds were elucidated using comprehensive spectroscopic methods, including electronic circular dichroism (ECD) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) calculations. Compounds 1-32 were assessed for their neuroprotective effects against H₂O₂-induced damage in human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells, as well as their inhibitory activities against protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) and α-glucosidase. Compound 4 demonstrated the most potent neuroprotective activity against H₂O₂-induced oxidative stress by suppressing G₀/G₁ phase cell cycle arrest, reducing reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, and inhibiting cell apoptosis through modulation of B-cell lymphoma 2 protein (Bcl-2) and Bcl-2 associated X-protein (Bax) protein expression. Compounds 26, 12, and 28 exhibited PTP1B inhibitory activities with IC₅₀ values ranging from 13.92 to 56.94 μmol·L^-1, while compound 12 alone displayed significant inhibitory effects on α-glucosidase with an IC₅₀ value of 43.56 μmol·L^-1. Additionally, enzyme kinetic analyses and molecular docking simulations were conducted for compounds 26 and 12 with PTP1B and α-glucosidase, respectively.

Cancer represents a significant disease that profoundly impacts human health and longevity. Projections indicate a 47% increase in the global cancer burden by 2040 compared to 2020, accompanied by a further rise in the associated economic burden. Consequently, there is an urgent need to discover and develop new alternative drugs to mitigate the global impact of cancer. Natural products (NPs) play a crucial role in the identification and development of anticancer therapeutics. This study identified ustusolate E (UE) and its analog 11α-hydroxy-ustusolate E (HUE) from strain Aspergilluscalidoustus TJ403-EL05, and examined their antitumor activities and mechanisms of action. The findings demonstrate that both compounds significantly inhibited the proliferation and colony formation of AGS (human gastric cancer cells) and 786-O (human renal clear cell carcinoma cells), induced irreversible DNA damage, blocked the cell cycle at the G₂/M phase, and further induced apoptosis in tumor cells. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the first report on the anticancer effects of UE and HUE and their underlying mechanisms. The present study suggests that HUE and UE could serve as lead compounds for the development of novel anticancer drugs.

A chemical investigation of secondary metabolites (SMs) from Aspergillus nidulans resulted in the identification of five novel dioxopiperazine (DKP)-diphenyl ether hybrids, designated as diphenylemestrins A-E (1-5). These compounds 1-5 represent the first known dimers combining DKP and diphenyl ether structures, with compound 4 featuring an uncommon dibenzofuran as the diphenyl ether component. The structural elucidation and determination of absolute stereochemistry were accomplished through spectroscopic analysis and electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculations. Notably, diphenylemestrin C (3) exhibited moderate cytostatic activity against NB4 cells, with a half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC₅₀) value of 21.99 μmol·L^-1, and induced apoptosis at higher concentrations.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of galangin(GLA)on autophagy and apoptosis of chondrocytes in knee osteoarthritis(KOA)rats by regulating the adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase(AMPK)/mammalian target of rapamycin(mTOR)/UNC-51-like kinase 1(ULK1)signaling pathway.METHODS KOA rat model was constructed and separated into model group,L-GLA,M-GLA,H-GLA groups[subcutaneous injection of 100,200,400 μg/kg GLA],GLA+Compound C group[subcutaneous injection of 400 μg/kg GLA+0.2 mg/kg AMPK inhibitor Compound C],with 10 rats in each group.Additionally,10 normally fed rats were selected as the sham operation group.After the last medication,the degree of knee joint swelling of rats in each group was detected;the pathology of knee joints in KOA rats was observed.The serum expressions of matrix metalloproteinase 13(MMP-13)and interleukin-1 β(IL-1 β)in KOA rats were detected;the autophagy of chondrocytes in KOA rats was observed;the chondrocyte apoptosis in KOA rats was detected;the phosphorylation of AMPK/mTOR/ULK1 pathway-related proteins in cartilage tissue of knee joint were detected in rats.RESULTS Compared with the sham operation group,the arrangement of articular chondrocytes in the model group was disordered,with nuclear pyknosis and severe fibrosis of the articular cartilage layer,accompanied by a large amount of inflammatory cell infiltration;the degree of joint swelling,the number of autophagic vacuoles and apoptosis rate of chondrocytes,serum levels of MMP-13 and IL-1β,and the phosphorylation of mTOR protein in cartilage tissue of knee joint were all increased significantly(P＜0.05),while the phosphorylation of AMPK and ULK1 protein were all decreased significantly in cartilage tissue of knee joint(P＜0.05).Compared with the model group,L-GLA,M-GLA,H-GLA groups showed significant improvement in joint cartilage injury and reduced infiltration of inflammatory cells in rats.The above quantitative indicators were significantly reversed in a dose-dependent manner,except the number of autophagic vacuoles increased significantly(P＜0.05).Compared with the H-GLA group,the GLA+Compound C group showed aggravated cartilage tissue of joint cartilage injury and inflammatory cell infiltration in rats,and the above quantitative indicators were reversed significantly(P＜0.05).CONCLUSIONS GLA can promote autophagy and inhibit apoptosis of chondrocytes in KOA rats,the mechanism of which may be associated with activating AMPK/mTOR/ULK1 signaling pathway.
