Objective To establish a ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography-orbitrap high-resolution mass spectrometry(UHPLC-Orbitrap HRMS)method for the determination of the genotoxic impurity N-nitroso propranolol(NPPN)in propranolol hydrochloride sustained-release tablets.Methods The test sample was ultrasonically extracted using methanol as the solvent,then centrifuged and filtered before injection analysis.Chromatographic separation was performed using a 2.7 μm particle size C18 UHPLC column with a mobile phase of 0.1%formic acid(A)in water and 0.1%formic acid(B)in acetonitrile,using gradient elution.Mass spectrometry was conducted with an HESI ion source in positive ion parallel reaction monitoring(PRM)scan mode,monitoring the NPPN fragment ion at m/z 72.080 8,and quantification was performed using the standard curve method.Results The calibration curve was in good linearity in the range of 0.51-20.30 ng·mL-1 with excellent correlation coefficient(r)of 0.9999.The recoveries of NPPN at three levels(low,medium,and high)were in the range of 95.4%~98.3%,while the RSDs were from 2.5%to 4.2%.The limit of detection(LOD)was 0.20 ng·mL-1 while the limit of quantitfication(LOQ)was 0.51 ng·mL-1.This analytical method was used to determine NPPN in six batches of propranolol hydrochloride sustained release tablet samples.NPPN was detected in all six samples,among which the detection amount of 3 batches have exceeded the acceptable limit.Conclusion This method is sensitive,accurate,and fast,making it useful for pharmaceutical companies in controlling production processes and providing robust technical support for regulatory authorities.

Objective:To address the critical issue of missing dynamic border molding information in edentulous direct digital impression technology, this study explores innovative digital solutions and conducts preliminary application validation.Methods:Based on the myostatic line theory, a methodology was established: intraoral scanner (IOS) high-frequency video was utilized to dynamically capture functional molding data of soft tissues, integrated with a self-developed mobility gradient recognition algorithm to achieve dynamic threshold segmentation between the muscle dynamic zone and myostatic zone, termed "optical digital molding technology". Ten edentulous patients with well-fitting complete dentures, treated at the Department of Prosthodontics, Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology from January 2024 to December 2024, were enrolled. The standard deviation between the muscle static line (generated by mobility gradient algorithm with thresholds of 0.3-0.7 mm) and the denture border curve was analyzed to optimize the dynamic threshold, followed by single-case clinical validation.Results:Among the mobility thresholds of 0.3-0.7 mm, the 0.5 mm threshold yielded the smallest standard deviation between the myostatic line and denture border. Clinical validation demonstrated that dentures designed with this threshold exhibited no displacement during dynamic functional tests, with marginal sealing meeting clinical standards.Conclusions:The optical digital border molding technique for edentulous soft tissue boundaries translates the myostatic line theory into quantifiable parameters for the first time. Based on data from 10 cases, a mobility threshold of 0.5 mm is recommended for clinical application.

Objective To observe the effect of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell-derived exo-somes(HUC-MSC-Exo)on microglial polarization in neonatal rats with white matter injury(WMI).Methods Three-day-old Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into sham group(Sham),hypoxia-ischemia group(HI)and HUC-MSC-Exo group,with 12 rats in each group.Unilateral common carotid artery ligation combined with hy-poxia(8%oxygen and 92%nitrogen)was used to construct a WMI rat model.Exosomes were extracted by ultra-high-speed centrifugation and characterized by nanoflow cytometry,western blot experiments and transmission electron mi-croscopy.Brain stereotaxic-assisted inferior ventricular transplantation exo(2×108 particles/μL)was performed and brain tissue samples were collected 14 days after HI.Hematoxylin-eosin(HE)staining was used to observe morpho-logical changes of brain tissue.Nissl staining was used to observe Nissl body formation in brain tissue;Luxol fast blue(LFB)staining was used to observe the formation of myelin sheath in brain tissue.Immunofluorescence staining was used to observe the localized expression of ionic calcium binds adaptor molecule 1(Iba1).The protein expres-sion levels of cluster of differentiation 86(CD86),inducible nitric oxide synthase(iNOS),tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),interleukin-1β(IL-1β),CD206,arginase-1(Arg-1),IL-10 and transforming growth factor-β(TGF-β)were detected by western blot.Results The results of nanoflow cytometry,western blot and transmission electron microscopy showed that the diameter of HUC-MSC-Exo particles was between 30 and 150 nm,and the oval-like shape and membrane-like structure were visible,and the exo markers CD9,CD63 and TSG101 were positive,while calnexin was negative.HE staining,Nissl staining and LFB staining showed that compared with the Sham group,the HI group had brain tissue structure destruction,which was manifested by cell morphological changes,nerve fiber ar-rangement disorder and vacuolation,Nissl body dissolution or even disappearance,and myelination was blocked.HUC-MSC-Exo significantly reversed the pathological changes in the HI group.The results of immunofluorescence staining and western blot showed that the microglial marker Iba1 was mainly expressed in the subventricular zone(SVZ),and the expression of Iba1 protein in the SVZ region increased after HI compared with the Sham group(t=15.95、20.31,P<0.01).HUC-MSC-Exo significantly reduced the expression of Iba1 protein in the HI group(t=10.35、11.01,P<0.01).The results of western blot showed that the expressions of M1 microglia markers(CD86 and iNOS)and pro-inflammatory cytokines(TNF-α and IL-1β)were significantly increased after HI(t=10.98、7.68、15.13、13.13,both P<0.01),and the expressions of M2 microglia markers(CD206 and Arg-1)and anti-inflammatory cytokines(IL-10 and TGF-β)were also increased after HI(t=14.26、9.38、8.82、7.42,both P<0.01).HUC-MSC-Exo decreased the protein expression of CD86,iNOS,TNF-α and IL-1β(t=9.79、5.81、8.06、7.03,all P<0.01)and increased the protein expression levels of CD206,Arg-1,IL-10 and TGF-β compared to the HI group(t=12.90、8.16、8.98、9.49,both P<0.01).Conclusion HUC-MSC-Exo attenuates WMI in neonatal rats by regulating microglial polarization.

Objective To investigate the effect of staphylococcal nuclease and tudor domain containing 1(SND1)on the biological function of osteosarcoma cells and decipher the mechanism of SND1 in regulating fer-roptosis in osteosarcoma cells via SLC7A11.Methods Human osteoblasts hFOB1.19 and osteosarcoma cell lines Saos-2,U2OS,HOS,and 143B were cultured,in which the expression level of SND1 was determined.Small in-terfering RNA was employed to knock down the expression of SND1(si-SND1)in the osteosarcoma cell line HOS and 143B.The CCK8 assay kit,colony formation assay,and Transwell assay were employed to examine the effect of SND1 expression on the biological function of osteosarcoma cells.Furthermore,we altered the expression of SND1 and SLC7A11 in osteosarcoma cells to investigate the effect of SND1 on osteosarcoma ferroptosis via SLC7A11.Results The mRNA and protein levels of SND1 in Saos-2,U2OS,HOS,and 143B cells were higher than those in hFOB1.19 cells(all P<0.01).Compared with the control group,transfection with si-SND1 down-regulated the expression level of SND1 in HOS and 143B cells(all P<0.01),decreased the viability of HOS and 143B cells,reduced the number of colony formation,and inhibited cell invasion and migration(all P<0.001).The ferroptosis inducer Erastin promoted the apoptosis of HOS and 143B cells,while the ferroptosis inhibitor Fer-rostatin-1 improved the viability of HOS and 143B cells(all P<0.001).After SND-1 knockdown,Erastin reduced the viability of HOS and 143B cells,while Ferrostatin-1 restored the cell viability(all P<0.001).After treatment with Erastin in the si-SND1 group,the levels of iron and malondialdehyde were elevated,and the level of glutathione was lowered(all P<0.001).The results of in vivo experiments showed that SND1 knockdown inhibited the mass of the transplanted tumor in 143B tumor-bearing nude mice(P<0.001).Knocking down the expression of SND1 resul-ted in down-regulated SLC7A11 expression(all P<0.001)and increased ferroptosis in HOS and 143B cells(P<0.001,P=0.020).Conclusions SND1 presents up-regulated expression in osteosarcoma cells.It may inhibit ferrop-tosis by up-regulating the expression of SLC7A11,thereby improving the viability of osteosarcoma cells.
