This paper aimed to explore the effects of Duzhong Decoction(DZD)-containing serum on the proliferation and osteoblast differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells through L-type voltage-gated calcium channels(L-VGCCs). L-VGCCs inhibitors, nifedipine and verapamil, were used to block L-VGCCs in osteoblasts. MC3T3-E1 cells were divided into a control group, a low-dose DZD-containing serum(L-DZD) group, a medium-dose DZD-containing serum(M-DZD) group, a high-dose DZD-containing serum(H-DZD) group, a nifedipine group, a H-DZD + nifedipine group, verapamil group, and a H-DZD + verapamil group. The CCK-8 method was used for cell proliferation analysis, alkaline phosphatase(ALP) assay kits for intracellular ALP activity measurement, Western blot for protein expression level in cells, real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR technology for intracellular mRNA expression level determination, fluorescence spectrophotometer for free Ca~(2+) concentration determination in osteoblasts, and alizarin red staining(ARS) for mineralized nodule formation in osteoblasts. The experimental results show that compared to the control group, DZD groups can promote MC3T3-E1 cell proliferation, ALP activity, and mineralized nodule formation, increase intracellular Ca~(2+) concentrations, and upregulate the protein expression of bone morphogenetic protein 2(BMP2), collagen Ⅰ(COL1), α2 subunit protein of L-VGCCs(L-VGCCα2), and the mRNA expression of Runt-related transcription factor 2(RUNX2), and BMP2. After blocking L-VGCCs with nifedipine and verapamil, the intervention effects of DZD-containing serum were inhibited to varying degrees. Both nifedipine and verapamil could inhibit ALP activity, reduce mineralized nodule areas, and downregulate the expression of bone formation-related proteins. Moreover, the effects of DZD-containing serum on increasing MC3T3-E1 cell proliferation, osteoblast differentiation, and Ca~(2+) concentrations, upregulating the mRNA expression of osteoprotegerin(OPG) and protein expression of phosphorylated protein kinase B(p-Akt) and phosphorylated forkhead box protein O1(p-FOXO1), and upregulating phosphatase and tensin homolog(PTEN) expression were reversed by nifedipine. The results indicate that DZD-containing serum can increase the Ca~(2+) concentration in MC3T3-E1 cells to promote bone formation, which may be mediated by L-VGCCs and the PTEN/Akt/FoxO1 signaling pathway, providing a new perspective on the mechanism of DZD in treating osteoporosis.

Tuberculosis is a chronic infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis,pri-marily transmitted through respiratory droplets,and poses a significant global public health challenge.Despite the availability of vaccines and chemotherapy regimens,the emergence of drug resistance and high incidence rates continue to render the prevention and control situation severe.The intestinal mi-crobiota modulates host immunity through metabolites such as short-chain fatty acids,influencing macrophage function,T-cell differentiation,and inflammatory responses,thereby regulating tubercu-losis susceptibility,disease progression,and treatment responses.This review systematically summa-rized the role of intestinal microecology in immune regulation of tuberculosis and its potential applica-tion strategies,delved into the possible immune regulatory mechanisms,proposed that the interaction between intestinal microbiota and immune checkpoint inhibitors may serve as a warning for the clinical risk of tuberculosis reactivation,and analyzed the potential of intestinal microecology as a therapeutic target for tuberculosis.

BackgroundCompared with absenteeism, health-related productivity loss has a long-lasting negative effect, and poses a greater harm and loss. The health-related productivity loss is mediated by self-efficacy, and perceived social support has been shown to have an impact on health-related productivity loss, whereas the interaction mechanism among the three remains unclear. ObjectiveTo investigate the status of perceived social support, occupational coping self-efficacy and health-related productivity loss among ICU nurses, and to test the mediation role of perceived social support in the relationship between occupational coping self-efficacy and health-related productivity loss. MethodsFrom September to November, 2021, purposive sampling technique was adopted to select 468 ICU nurses in 8 tertiary hospitals in Sichuan Province. Subjects were assessed using self-made general information questionnaire, Perceived Social Support Scale (PSSS), Occupational Coping Self Efficacy Scale for Nurses (OCSE-N) and Stanford Presenteeism Scale-6 (SPS-6). Pearson correlation analysis was used to examine the correlation among variables. Amos 24.0 was utilized to test the mediation role of perceived social support in the relationship between occupational coping self-efficacy and health-related productivity loss. ResultsA total of 415 ICU nurses completed the valid questionnaire survey. ICU nurses scored (63.13±11.62) on PSSS, (22.24±6.15) on OCSE-N, and (16.83±4.24) on SPS-6. Health-related productivity loss was detected in 279 ICU nurses (67.23%). Correlation analysis denoted that PSSS total score was positively correlated with OCSE-N total score (r=0.348, P<0.05), and negatively correlated with SPS-6 total score (r=-0.274, P<0.05). OCSE-N total score was negatively correlated with SPS-6 total score (r=-0.421, P<0.05). The direct effect value of occupational coping self-efficacy on health-related productivity loss was -0.401, and perceived social support showed a mediation role in the relationship between occupational coping self-efficacy and health-related productivity loss (the indirect effect value was -0.052, accounting for 11.48% of the total effect). ConclusionThe occupational coping self-efficacy of ICU nurses may affect the health-related productivity loss through the action path of perceived social support.[Funded by Scientific Research Project of Sichuan Provincial Health Commission (number, 19PJ042)]

Objective:To investigate the clinicopathological features, immunophenotype, molecular characteristics, and differential diagnosis of primary intracranial DICER1-mutant sarcoma in order to better understand this tumor type.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 7 cases of primary intracranial DICER1-mutant sarcoma diagnosed in the Department of Pathology, Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center, Guangzhou, China between 2021 and 2023 using next-generation sequencing. At the same time, 10 gliosarcomas, 4 intracranial FET::CREB fusion-positive mesenchymal tumors, 4 malignant meningiomas, 3 malignant solitary fibrous tumors, 3 malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors, 3 synovial sarcomas and 3 rhabdomyosarcomas (total 30 cases) were selected as control.Results:Among the 7 patients with primary intracranial DICER1-mutant sarcoma, 6 were male and 1 was female, aged 10-32 years (median, 23 years). The tissue morphology was predominantly spindle or pleomorphic sarcoma-like, with 6 cases exhibiting eosinophilic globules, and 3 cases showing rhabdomyoblastic or rhabdomyosarcoma-like cell differentiation. Immunohistochemistry revealed focal desmin expression in 3 cases (3/7), ATRX loss in 3 cases (3/7), and p53 mutant pattern in 4 cases (4/7). Additionally, 4 cases (4/7) showed focal or diffuse SALL4 expression, whereas the control cases (30 cases) did not exhibit SALL4 protein expression, suggesting that SALL4 may possess certain auxiliary diagnostic value. Next-generation sequencing confirmed that all 7 cases of primary intracranial DICER1-mutant sarcoma harbored mutations in the DICER1 gene, with 5 cases having the mutation site at p.E1813D. Until May 2024, all 7 patients were alive.Conclusions:Primary intracranial DICER1-mutant sarcoma is a rare tumor. Understanding its morphological characteristics, immunohistochemical and molecular markers and differential diagnosis is crucial to avoid misdiagnosis and to improve diagnostic accuracy of this tumor.
