ObjectiveTaking Aurantii Fructus Immaturus juice（AFI）-processed Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma（AMR） as an example， this study aims to systematically compare the volatile and non-volatile components of AMR and its processed products， investigate the key differential components， evaluate their anti-inflammatory activities， and elucidate the synergistic mechanism of processing. MethodsThe chemical compositions of volatile and non-volatile components in AMR and AFI-processed AMR were systematically characterized using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry（GC-MS） and ultra-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-time-of-flight mass spectrometry（UPLC-Q-TOF-MS）， with relative mass fractions and response values determined separately. Volatile components were identified through searches in the National Institute of Standards and Technology（NIST）17 database， comparison with retention index（RI） and fragmentation pattern matching. Non-volatile components were identified by searching Waters Traditional Chinese Medicine （TCM） spectral library， in conjunction with PubChem and MassBank， characteristic fragmentation patterns and response values were also used to support identification. Differential components were screened using principal component analysis（PCA）， orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis（OPLS-DA）， with variable importance in the projection（VIP） value >1. Components with high log₂fold change（FC） among major differential groups were selected as those exhibiting significant changes before and after processing. The anti-inflammatory activity of the differential compounds was evaluated by assessing their effects on nitric oxide（NO） production in a lipopolysaccharide（LPS）-induced RAW264.7 macrophage model. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay（ELISA） was used to detect the effects of the differential components on tumor necrosis factor（TNF）-α， interleukin（IL）-1β， IL-6， and monocyte chemotactic protein（MCP）-1 levels， and immunofluorescence（IF） was employed to assess their effects on nuclear transcription factor（NF）-κB p65 translocation， thereby elucidating the underlying molecular mechanisms. ResultsA total of 36 compounds were identified in the volatile components of AMR and AFI-processed AMR， among which， sesquiterpenes and monoterpenes were significantly increased after processing. In the non-volatile components， 36 compounds were identified， and the main differential components were flavonoids， sesquiterpenoids， and triterpenoids. Flavonoids were the primary differential components distinguishing AMR from its processed products， representing compounds directly introduced during processing. Five compounds， including atractylenolide Ⅲ， tangeritin， nobiletin， hesperidin and narirutin， were selected as representatives of three classes based on their most prominent differential expression among different compound types for subsequent anti-inflammatory activity studies. The results showed that 100 μmol·L^-1 tangerine and narirutin could significantly inhibit LPS-induced NO production（P<0.01） in a concentration-dependent manner. Tangeritin was able to significantly inhibit the levels of TNF-α and MCP-1 secreted by RAW264.7（P<0.05）， while narirutin significantly inhibited the levels of TNF-α， IL-1β， MCP-1 and IL-6（P<0.01）. IF revealed that both tangeritin and narirutin significantly blocked the translocation of NF-κB p65 from the cytoplasm to the nucleus. ConclusionAFI-processed AMR significantly alters the chemical composition profile of AMR， and the newly introduced flavonoid components during processing may be key to its enhanced anti-inflammatory effects.

Metabolomics covers a wide range of applications in life sciences, biomedicine, and phytology. Data acquisition (to achieve high coverage and efficiency) and analysis (to pursue good classification) are two key segments involved in metabolomics workflows. Various chemometric approaches utilizing either pattern recognition or machine learning have been employed to separate different groups. However, insufficient feature extraction, inappropriate feature selection, overfitting, or underfitting lead to an insufficient capacity to discriminate plants that are often easily confused. Using two ginseng varieties, namely Panax japonicus (PJ) and Panax japonicus var. major (PJvm), containing the similar ginsenosides, we integrated pseudo-targeted metabolomics and deep neural network (DNN) modeling to achieve accurate species differentiation. A pseudo-targeted metabolomics approach was optimized through data acquisition mode, ion pairs generation, comparison between multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) and scheduled MRM (sMRM), and chromatographic elution gradient. In total, 1980 ion pairs were monitored within 23 min, allowing for the most comprehensive ginseng metabolome analysis. The established DNN model demonstrated excellent classification performance (in terms of accuracy, precision, recall, F1 score, area under the curve, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC)) using the entire metabolome data and feature-selection dataset, exhibiting superior advantages over random forest (RF), support vector machine (SVM), extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost), and multilayer perceptron (MLP). Moreover, DNNs were advantageous for automated feature learning, nonlinear modeling, adaptability, and generalization. This study confirmed practicality of the established strategy for efficient metabolomics data analysis and reliable classification performance even when using small-volume samples. This established approach holds promise for plant metabolomics and is not limited to ginseng.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the effectiveness of posterior single-level osteotomy with 360° release and correction for the treatment of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCF) complicated with moderate to severe kyphosis. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 11 patients with OVCF complicated with moderate to severe kyphosis between January 2022 and March 2023. There were 4 males and 7 females with an average age of 57 years ranging from 47 to 69 years. The disease duration ranged from 3 to 15 months, with an average of 7 months. Fracture segments included T ₁₁ in 3 cases, T ₁₂ in 5, L ₁ in 2, and L ₂ in 1. The T value of lumbar spine bone density was -5.0 to -2.0, with an average of -3.5. The preoperative neurological function was grade E according to Frankel grading. The Pfirrmann classification of the intervertebral disc above the injured vertebra was grade Ⅲ in 8 cases and grade Ⅳ in 3 cases. All patients underwent posterior single-level osteotomy with 360° release and correction. The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, hospital stay, and postoperative complications were recorded. Thoracolumbar local kyphosis Cobb angle, the mean height of the functional spinal unit (FSU), the sagittal vertical axis (SVA), and the sagittal index (SI) were measured. The visual analogue scale (VAS) score and Oswestry disability index (ODI) were used to evaluate the improvement of pain and function before operation, at 1 month after operation, and at last follow-up. RESULTS: The operation successfully completed in all patients, and there was no obvious complication. The operation time ranged from 100 to 190 minutes, with an average of 153 minutes, and the intraoperative blood loss ranged from 200 to 800 mL, with an average of 468 mL. The length of hospital stay was 8-14 days (mean, 12 days). All patients were followed up 6-24 months, with an average of 12.4 months. At last follow-up, all the 11 patients had bony fusion in the osteotomy area, and there was no displacement or subsidence of the Cage, no complication such as internal fixation failure or pseudarthrosis formation was found. The Cobb angle of local thoracolumbar kyphosis, the mean height of FSU, SVA, and SI significantly improved immediately after operation and at last follow-up when compared with preoperative ones, and the VAS score and ODI also significantly improved at 1 month after operation and at last follow-up ( P<0.05); there was no significant difference in above indexes between the two time points after operation ( P>0.05). CONCLUSION Posterior single-level osteotomy with 360° release and correction is an effective surgical method for treating OVCF complicated with moderate to severe kyphosis, with definite early effectiveness.

OBJECTIVE: To review the research progress of strontium (Sr) modified β-tricalcium phosphate composite biomaterials (SrTCP) promoting osteogenesis through immune regulation, and provides reference and theoretical support for the further development and research of SrTCP bone repair materials in bone tissue engineering in the future. METHODS: The literature about SrTCP promoting osteogenesis through immune regulation at home and abroad in recent years was extensively reviewed, and the preparation methods, immune mechanism and application of promoting osteogenesis were summarized and analyzed. RESULTS: The preparation methods of SrTCP include solid-state reaction sintering method, solution combustion quenching method, direct doping method, ion substitution method, etc. SrTCP has immune regulatory effects, which can play an immune regulatory role in inducing macrophage polarization, inducing angiogenesis and anti oxidative stress to promote osteogenesis. CONCLUSION At present, studies have shown that SrTCP can promote bone defect repair through immune regulation. Subsequent studies can start from the control of the optimal repair concentration and release rate of Sr, and further clarify the specific mechanism of SrTCP in promoting angiogenesis and anti oxidative stress, which is helpful to develop new materials for bone defect repair.

Objective:To observe the effect of reconstruction of Achilles insertion with Suture bridge technology after extirpation of avulsed bones block in the treatment of Beavis type Ⅲ avulsion fracture of the calcaneal tuberosity.Methods:The retrospective analysis was used. From January 2013 to January 2023, 78 patients with Beavis type Ⅲ avulsion fracture of the calcaneal tuberosity, treated in the Department 1 of Foot and Ankle and Department 2 of Foot and Ankle of the second Hospital of Tangshan were selected as research objects. According to different operation performed, 41 patients with the reconstruction of Achilles insertion with Suture bridge technology after extirpation of avulsed bones block were divided into the observation group and 37 patients with the open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) were divided into the control group. The delayed wound healing rate and the Haglund malformation rate, Maryland foot score, the American Orthopedic Foot and ankle Society (AOFAS) ankle-hindfoot score, the pain Visual Analogue Scale/Score (VAS) score, the Victorian Institute of Sports Assessment-Achilles (VISA-A) score, Arner-Lindholm scale of One-year postoperative were compared between these two groups. The measurement data with normal or approximate normal distribution were analyzed using t test, count data using chi-square test for comparison of between groups.Results:One year after surgery, the incidence of Haglund malformation in the observation group was 4.88% (2/41), which was lower than the control group's 29.73% (11/37). The difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( χ2=8.65,P=0.003). The excellent and good rate of Maryland foot function assessment in the observation group was 85.37% (35/41) higher than that in the control group (56.76% (21/37), and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( χ2=7.86, P=0.005). The AOFAS ankle hind foot score of the observation group ((90.44±6.66) points) was higher than that of the control group ((82.84±7.43) points), and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( t=4.77, P<0.001). The pain score of the observation group ((1.51±1.05) points) was lower than that of the control group ((2.95±1.13) points), and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( t=-5.81, P<0.001). The Achilles tendon score of the observation group ((81.05±5.87) points) was higher than that of the control group ((71.62±8.60) points), and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( t=5.70, P<0.001). The excellent and good rate of Arner Lindholm treatment efficacy evaluation for Achilles tendon in the observation group was 87.80% (36/41), which was higher than that in the control group (67.57% (25/37)), and the difference between the groups was statistically significant. Conclusion:The treatment of Beavis Ⅲ type calcaneal nodule avulsion fracture by removing the bone fragment can simultaneously remove the hypertrophic osteophyte, hardened bone, and Haglund deformity of the calcaneus, and clean the degenerated Achilles tendon and inflammatory tissue around the insertion point; The use of suture bridge technology to reconstruct the Achilles tendon insertion point has the advantages of high fixed strength, allowing early functional exercise, avoiding secondary removal of internal fixation, and achieving satisfactory therapeutic effects, which is worthy of clinical promotion.

Objective:To explore the value of 18F-FDG PET brain imaging in the auxiliary diagnosis of autoimmune encephalitis (AE) before treatment, and to analyze the regional and course-related characteristics of brain metabolic changes. Methods:The 18F-FDG PET brain imaging data of 49 AE patients (26 males, 23 females, age 48.0(29.0, 61.0) years) who did not receive first-line immunotherapy were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were collected from Renji Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, between July 2015 and December 2023. Forty-nine age- and gender-matched healthy subjects who underwent routine physical examination at the same time period were selected as the healthy controls (HC). The statistical parametric mapping (SPM) 8 two-sample t test ( P<0.001, k=50) was used to compare the imaging results of AE patients with those of HC. The screening results were adjusted by the cluster-level family-wise error rate (FWER) for P<0.05. Metabolic abnormalities associated with AE were identified, and differences in metabolic patterns at different stages of the disease course (short: ≤1 month; medium: >1 month and ≤3 month; long: >3 month) were compared by subgroup analysis. Mann-Whitney U test was used to analyze the data. Results:In the included AE patients, regions with elevated metabolism were mainly located in the limbic lobe, insula, putamen, and amygdala ( t values: 3.18-5.07, Z values: 3.17-4.76), while local metabolic reduction was observed in the frontal, parietal, and occipital lobes ( t values: 3.18-5.43, Z values: 3.23-5.06), with most of these regions passing FWER correction. In patients with anti- N-methyl- D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) encephalitis, local metabolism increased in the right superior temporal gyrus ( t values: 3.55-4.79, Z values: 3.67-3.86) and decreased in the left middle temporal gyrus and inferior frontal gyrus ( t values: 3.55-5.43, Z values: 3.45-4.21), but the results did not pass the FWER correction. Subgroup analysis showed that in patients with short disease course ( n=17), regions with locally elevated metabolism included the brainstem, limbic lobe, and cerebellum ( t values: 3.37-5.27, Z values: 3.52-4.44), while regions with reduced metabolism were mainly located in the frontal, parietal, and occipital lobes ( t values: 3.37-6.77, Z values: 3.34-5.30), and these abnormal results all passed FWER correction. In patients with medium ( n=7) to long ( n=25) disease course, the regions with metabolic abnormalities were significantly reduced and did not pass FWER correction. Conclusions:18F-FDG PET can accurately identify brain metabolic abnormalities in AE patients, demonstrating significant regional and course-related characteristics. Metabolic abnormalities are more pronounced in patients with short disease course, while they are relatively less obvious in patients with medium to long disease course.

ObjectiveTo investigate the role of mature-tRNA-Asp-GTC and pre-tRNA-Arg-TCT in the ferroptosis phenotype of ovarian cancer （OC） cells and the regulatory mechanism of gypenoside L （Gyp-L） on mature-tRNA-Asp-GTC and pre-tRNA-Arg-TCT in OC cells. MethodsThe proliferation of human ovarian adenocarcinoma OVCAR3 cells was detected by cell counting kit-8 （CCK-8） assay， and the half-maximal inhibitory concentration （IC₅₀） values of cisplatin （DDP）， Gyp-L， and DDP in the presence of Gyp-L were calculated to determine the intervention concentration for subsequent experiments. Cell cloning assay and scratch assay reflected the proliferation and migration ability of OVCAR3 cells. PANDORA-seq small RNA sequencing was used to detect the differentially expressed transfer RNA-derived small RNAs （tsRNAs） in the cells after Gyp-L intervention， and the corresponding target genes of the tsRNAs were found by the RNAhybrid software. Malondialdehyde （MDA）， glutathione （GSH）， and lipid peroxide （LPO） levels were measured by colorimetry or enzyme linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA） method， Fe²⁺ content by FerroOrange fluorescent probe， and reactive oxygen species （ROS） content by DCFH-DA fluorescent probe to reflect the occurrence of ferroptosis in OVCAR3 cells. OVCAR3 cells were divided into a control group， a 50 µmol·L^-1 Gyp-L group， and a 100 µmol·L^-1 Gyp-L group. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction （PCR） was performed to detect the expression of mature-tRNA-Asp-GTC， mature-tRNA-Leu-CAA， mature-mt_tRNA-Tyr-GTA_5_end， mature-tRNA-Val-CAC， mature-mt_tRNA-Glu-TTC， pre-tRNA-Arg-TCT， mature-tRNA-Asn-GTT， hydroxymethylbilane synthase （HMBS）， Wnt， β-catenin， glutathione peroxidase 4 （GPX4）， Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 （KEAP1）， nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 （Nrf2）， activating transcription factor 3 （ATF3）， cystine/glutamate antiporter xCT， lysophosphatidylcholine acyltransferase 3 （LPCAT3）， and arachidonate 15-lipoxygenase （ALOX15）. Western blot was performed to detect the expression of HMBS， Wnt， β-catenin， GPX4， KEAP1， Nrf2， ATF3， xCT， LPCAT3， and ALOX15 proteins. ResultsThe 50 µmol·L^-1 Gyp-L， 100 µmol·L^-1 Gyp-L， DDP， 50 µmol·L^-1 Gyp-L+DDP， and 100 µmol·L^-1 Gyp-L+DDP groups showed significantly inhibited proliferation and migration of OVCAR3 cells （P<0.05） and exacerbated cell ferroptosis as reflected by the increase in the content of ROS， MDA， LPO， and Fe²⁺， as well as a decrease in the content of GSH （P<0.05）. Compared with the control group， Gyp-L effectively interfered with the expression of 25 tsRNAs in OVCAR3 cells （P<0.05， |log₂Fc|>1）. Pre-tRNA-Arg-TCT/HMBS/Wnt/β-catenin/GPX4， pre-tRNA-Arg-TCT/KEAP1/NRF2/xCT， mature-tRNA-Asp-GTC/ATF3/KEAP1/NRF2/xCT， and mature-tRNA-Asp-GTC/LPCAT3/ALOX15 axial expression was significantly aberrant after Gyp-L intervention （P<0.05）. ConclusionThe pre-tRNA-Arg-TCT/HMBS/Wnt/β-catenin/GPX4， pre-tRNA-Arg-TCT/KEAP1/Nrf2/xCT， mature-tRNA-Asp-GTC/ATF3/KEAP1/Nrf2/xCT， and mature-tRNA-Asp-GTC/LPCAT3/ALOX15 signaling pathways are involved in OC development. Gyp-L inhibits OC development by activating OVCAR3 cell ferroptosis onset mainly through the mature-tRNA-Asp-GTC/ATF3/KEAP1/Nrf2/xCT and mature-tRNA-Asp-GTC/LPCAT3/ALOX15 signaling axes.
