Objective: To investigate the molecular mechanism of Syk in phagocytosis induced by CD36 antibodies. Methods: In vitro, two CD36 monoclonal antibodies, GZ1 (IgG2a) and GZ4 (IgG1), at different concentrations were co-incubated with platelets from CD36-positive blood donors, and the affinity of the antibodies for platelets was assessed using flow cytometry. CD36 positive platelets from donors were labeled with Red-SE. The GZ1 and GZ4 antibodies were added together with dye-labeled platelets to peripheral blood from blood donors for phagocytosis experiments. The expression of the Spleen Tyrosine Kinase (Syk), P-Syk, P38 MAPK and P-P38 were detected using Western blot(WB). In the in vitro phagocytosis inhibition assay, Fcγ receptor (FcγR) antibodies or Syk inhibitor (R406) were pre-incubated with monocytes prior to performing the phagocytosis experiment. In vivo experiments were performed using female C57BL/6J mice. R406 was administered via intraperitoneal injection, followed by tail vein infusion of GZ1 or GZ4 antibodies. Additionally, a treatment group was set up in which the antibodies were infused first, followed by administration of R406. Changes in platelet counts were analyzed using a blood routine analyzer, and antibody binding to platelets was detected by flow cytometry. Results: GZ1 had higher affinity for CD36positive platelets than GZ4. The phagocytosis rate induced by GZ1 was significantly higher than that of GZ4 [(42.12±2.25)% vs (16.25±6.45)%, P<0.001]. Moreover, GZ1-mediated platelet phagocytosis mainly depends on FcγRⅠ of monocytes, while GZ4-mediated platelet phagocytosis mainly relies on FcγRⅡ of monocytes. WB results showed that the GZ1 group significantly upregulated the expression of Syk and phosphorylated Syk (P-Syk), and induced phosphorylation of the downstream P38 MAPK signaling pathway. Pretreatment of monocytes with R406 inhibited the phagocytosis of antibodyopsonized platelets by monocytes. After injecting GZ1 or GZ4 antibodies into C57BL/6 female mice through the tail vein, GZ1 mAbs had a stronger binding rate to the platelets compared with GZ4 mAbs, leading to a significant decrease in platelet count. After pre-injecting R406 into mice, the platelet count reduction in both the GZ1 and GZ4 groups was alleviated, and the binding rate of antibodies to platelets was also significantly reduced. However, administration of R406 after antibody injection failed to prevent the decrease in platelet counts in mice. Conclusion: This study indicates that Syk plays an important role in the phagocytosis of anti-CD36 opsonized platelets by monocytes/macrophages and is closely associated with the activation of the P38 MAPK signaling pathway.

Obesity is a chronic low-grade inflammation and a risk factor for diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and malignant tumors, demonstrating an increasingly grim development situation. The nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) signaling pathway is a key signaling pathway involved in the immune response and inflammatory response. In obese individuals, the expression of NF-κB is overactivated, which leads to abnormal inflammatory responses in the body. Therefore, it is expected to alleviate inflammation and treat obesity by regulating the NF-κB signaling pathway, which has been proven effective by a large number of studies. The available studies on the NF-κB signaling pathway mostly focus on tumors, and there is no systematic review of the mechanism of this pathway in mediating obesity and the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) treatment. We reviewed the research progress in the pathological and physiological processes of obesity mediated by NF-κB signaling pathway and TCM treatment, aiming to give insights into the clinical treatment of obesity with TCM and provide reference targets and research directions for exploring the biological foundations and the development of new TCM preparations.

Paraplegia caused by spinal cord injury is a serious neurological complication, for which surgery is currently the main treatment method. Due to different surgical approaches, patients are usually expected to maintain a passive prone position for a long time or switch between the supine and prone positions. Affected by multiple factors such as neurogenic sensory disorders, pathological changes in muscle tone and operative duration, the risk of intraoperative acquired pressure injury (IAPI) is significantly increased. Current clinical prevention strategies for IAPI in these patients predominantly focus on localized pressure relief during positioning, lacking systematic, standardized comprehensive prevention protocols or evidence-based guidelines. To address it, Department of Nursing, Orthopedics Branch, China International Exchange and Promotive Association for Medical and Health Care, Spinal Trauma Professional Committee, Orthopedics Branch, Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Nursing Group of Spine and Spinal Cord Professional Committee of Chinese Association of Rehabilitation Medicine organized experts in relevant fields to formulate Guideline for the prevention of intraoperative acquired pressure injury in paraplegic patients with spinal cord injury ( version 2025), based on evidence-based medical evidence and latest research results and clinical practice at home and abroad. Eleven recommendations were put forward from the aspects of preoperative risk assessment, intraoperative prevention strategies, postoperative handover and monitoring, and supportive mechanisms for IAPI prevention, aiming to standardize the prevention measures and management strategies of IAPI in paraplegic patients with spinal cord injury and accelerate the recovery of patients and improve the therapeutic effect.

Objective:To compare the clinical effects of using xenogenic bone graft materials with or without collagen components for tooth micro crestal flap-alveolar ridge preservation (MCF-ARP) at molars with severe periodontitis.Methods:This study included patients who visited Department of Periodontology, Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology from May to November 2023 due to severe periodontitis, requiring tooth extraction and planning for implant-retained prostheses. A total of 24 molars from 24 patients with severe periodontitis were assigned into two groups: the deproteinized bovine bone mineral (DBBM) group and the DBBM with collagen (DBBM-C) group. Twelve affected teeth from 12 patients were included in each group. Both groups underwent minimally invasive tooth extraction and MCF-ARP, with DBBM and DBBM-C implanted in the extraction socket, respectively. Cone beam CT (CBCT) was performed before and 6 months after the surgery for assessing changes of hard tissue. Intraoral scanning was performed before and at 2 weeks, 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months after the surgery for assessing soft tissue contour changes and patterns in both groups.Results:After 6 months of healing, the central bone height increased by (8.35±2.25) mm in the DBBM group and (7.70±2.36) mm in the DBBM-C group. The ridge width at 1 mm apically from the higher bone crest increased by 6.43 (-0.76,7.96) mm in the DBBM group and 6.01 (5.41,7.90) mm in the DBBM-C group. There was no statistically significant difference in the changes of bone height and width between the two groups (all P>0.05). In terms of soft tissue contour changes, although the buccal contour collapses were less in the DBBM-C group, the two groups showed no statistically significant difference (all P>0.05). Conclusions:Within the limitations of this study, it was demonstrated that the clinical effects of MCF-ARP using xenogenic bone graft materials with or without collagen components in molars with severe periodontitis were comparable.

Objective:To explore the clinical application pathway of the CT generative adversarial networks (CTGANs) algorithm in mandibular reconstruction surgery, aiming to provide a valuable reference for this procedure.Methods:A clinical exploratory study was conducted, 27 patients who visited the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Xiangya Hospital of Central South University between January 2022 and January 2024 and required mandibular reconstruction were selected. The cohort included 16 males and 11 females, with the age of (46.6±11.5) years; among them, 7 cases involved mandibular defects crossing the midline. The CTGANs generator produced 100 images, and the mean squared error (MSE) was calculated for differences between any two generated images. Preoperative cone-beam CT data from 5 patients were used to construct a labeled test database, divided into groups: normal maxilla, normal mandible, diseased mandible, and noise (each group containing 70 cross-sectional images). The CTGANs discriminator was used to evaluate the loss values for each group, and one-way ANOVA and intergroup comparisons were performed. Using the self-developed KuYe multioutcome-option-network generation system (KMG) software, the three-dimensional (3D) completion area of the mandible under cone-beam CT was defined for the 27 patients. The CTGANs algorithm was applied to obtain a reference model for the mandible. Virtual surgery was then performed, utilizing the fibular segment to reconstruct the mandible and design the surgical expectation model. The second-generation combined bone-cutting and prebent reconstruction plate positioning method was used to design and 3D print surgical guides, which were subsequently applied in mandibular reconstruction surgery for the 27 patients. Postoperative cone-beam CT was used to compare the morphology of the reconstructed mandible with the surgical expectation model and the mandibular reference model to assess the three-dimensional deviation.Results:The MSE for the CTGANs generator was 2 411.9±833.6 (95% CI: 2 388.7-2 435.1). No significant difference in loss values was found between the normal mandible and diseased mandible groups ( P>0.05), while both groups demonstrated significantly lower loss values than the maxilla and noise groups ( P<0.001). All 27 patients successfully obtained mandibular reference models and surgical expectation models. In total, 14 162 negative deviation points and 15 346 positive deviation points were observed when comparing the reconstructed mandible morphology with the surgical expectation model, with mean deviations of -1.32 mm (95% CI:-1.33- -1.31 mm) and 1.90 mm (95% CI: 1.04-1.06 mm), respectively. Conclusions:The CTGANs algorithm is capable of generating diverse mandibular reference models that reflect the natural anatomical characteristics of the mandible and closely match individual patient morphology, thereby facilitating the design of surgical expectation models. This method shows promise for application in patients with mandibular defects crossing the midline.

Objective:To identify and analyze the key factors affecting online medical patient satisfaction, providing references for improving online patient satisfaction.Methods:Matched " user satisfaction, patient satisfaction" with keywords such as " internet medical, online medical", and searched for literature published from 2013 to 2023 in databases like CNKI and the Full-text Database of Chinese Medical Journals.Based on the critical appraisal skills programme for quality assessment, screened the literature. Employed the meta-ethnography method to synthesize the factors affecting online medical patient satisfaction in the included studies. Identified key influencing factors through the decision making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) method, and then constructed a multi-level cascading structure model using the interpretative structural modelling (ISM) method to analyze the logical connections and hierarchical structure among the influencing factors, and obtained the key influencing paths.Results:20 articles were included, and through the meta-ethnography method, obtained a set of influencing factors for three thematic dimensions: personal, social, and technological, including eight influencing factors: perceived risk, perceived quality, information support, social support, environmental support, emotional support, medical technology, and platform design. By employing the DEMATEL-ISM method, information support and perceived quality were identified as key outcome factors, with centrality values of 15.713 and 15.417, respectively, and reason degrees of -0.957 and -1.095, respectively. Medical technology was identified as a key cause factor, with a centrality value of 15.476 and a reason degree of 0.956; the key influence path was platform design-medical technology-social support-information support, with a sum of centrality values totaling 59.305.Conclusions:This study identified key outcome factors, key cause factors, and key influence paths for online medical patient satisfaction. Based on these findings, it is suggested to enhance information support by improving the quality of health information on the online medical platform, improve the quality of patient perception by optimizing the doctor-patient interaction mode, improving the efficiency and response speed of doctor-patient communication, strengthening the supervision of the diagnosis and treatment process, etc., improve the level of online medical technology by establishing an Internet doctor ability evaluation index system and strengthening training, and jointly promote the improvement of online medical patient satisfaction by collaborating with multiple stakeholders.
