ObjectiveTo investigate the epigenetic mechanism of Diwu Yanggan Capsule in improving liver regeneration microenvironment in a rat model of liver cancer by regulating DNA methylation， and to provide a basis for scientific clinical medication. MethodsA total of 48 specific pathogen-free Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into normal group， model group， and Diwu Yanggan Capsule group using a random number table， with 16 rats in each group. The Solt-Farber two-step method was used to establish a rat model of liver cancer. The rats in the Diwu Yanggan Capsule group were given Diwu Yanggan Capsule at a dose of 750 mg/kg/d by gavage， and those in the normal group and the model group were given an equal volume of normal saline by gavage. Liver tissue samples were collected from each group of rats after 16 weeks of continuous intervention； DNA methylation chips were used to analyze the change in DNA methylation in liver tissue， and gene ontology （GO） and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes （KEGG） analyses were used for data analysis. In addition， the MeDIP-PCR technique was used to detect the changes in candidate differentially methylated genes such as YWHAB， ADCK2， ERLIN2， SEMA3B， and TPH2 in the liver tissue of rats， and Western blot and RT-qPCR were used to verify the expression of key methylated genes. The independent-samples t test was used for comparison of continuous data between two groups， and a one-way analysis of variance was used for comparison between multiple groups， while the least significant difference t-test was used for further comparison between two groups. ResultsThe DNA methylation chip analysis showed that compared with the normal group， the model group had significant methylation changes in the promoter region of 2 422 genes in liver tissue of rats. The GO functional enrichment analysis and the KEGG pathway enrichment analysis showed that these differentially methylated genes were significantly enriched in metabolic pathways such as steroid hormone biosynthesis and drug metabolism-cytochrome P450. Compared with the model group， the Diwu Yanggan Capsule group had significant reversal of promoter methylation in 1 650 genes， and the KEGG enrichment analysis showed that these genes were mainly involved in the pathways closely associated with cell proliferation， apoptosis， and microenvironment regulation， such as the calcium ion signaling pathway， the cAMP signaling pathway， and the extracellular factor signaling pathway. Compared with the model group， the Diwu Yanggan Capsule group had a significant increase in the promoter methylation level of the ADCK2 gene （P<0.05） and significant reductions in the promoter methylation levels of the ERLIN2 and TPH2 genes （all P<0.05）. Compared with the model group， the Diwu Yanggan Capsule group had significant reductions in the mRNA expression levels and the protein expression levels of the ADCK2 （all P<0.05）. ConclusionAbnormal DNA methylation in liver tissue participates in the development and progression of liver cancer. The effect of Diwu Yanggan Capsule on DNA methylation level is an important epigenetic mechanism for its effect in the prevention and treatment of liver cancer.

BACKGROUND:Although previous studies have reported associations between lipids and the risk of osteoporotic pathological fractures,the specific causal relationships between lipid level and osteoporotic pathological fractures remain unclear.OBJECTIVE:To elucidate the causal relationship between lipids and osteoporotic pathological fractures using a two-sample bidirectional Mendelian randomization analysis.METHODS:The data for 178 lipid metabolites were obtained from the IEU-GWAS database(developed by the MRC Integrative Epidemiology Unit at the University of Bristol,UK,which provides extensive summary data from genome-wide association studies),while osteoporotic pathological fracture data(from 173 619 European participants)were acquired from the FinnGen database(constructed by the Finnish national gene research program,focusing on investigating relationships between genomics and health/disease in the Finnish population).Osteoporotic pathological fracture data were used as the outcome variable,with lipids serving as exposures,for the bidirectional Mendelian randomization study to evaluate the causal effects of different lipids on osteoporotic pathological fractures.The UK Biobank database was employed as a validation set by switching the outcome variable to verify the findings horizontally.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)The inverse variance weighted analysis indicated that each unit increase in sterol ester(27∶1/20∶2)levels was associated with a 25.55％increase in the risk of osteoporotic pathological fractures(odds ratio=1.256,95％confidence interval:1.001-1.575,P=0.049),suggesting a significant positive correlation between elevated sterol ester levels and increased fracture risk.Reverse Mendelian randomization analysis revealed a significant negative association between osteoporotic pathological fractures and three types of phosphatidylcholine.Horizontal validation yielded consistent results,confirming sterol ester as a risk factor for osteoporotic pathological fractures.(2)The results indicate that sterol ester is a risk factor for osteoporotic pathological fractures,while phosphatidylcholine serves as a protective factor.These findings strengthen the evidence supporting the effect of lipids on the risk of osteoporotic pathological fractures.Although the GWAS data used in this study were derived from European populations,given the broad commonality of human genetics,the results provide valuable reference significance for improving osteoporosis in Chinese populations through lipid regulation.

OBJECTIVE: To assess the independent and combined effects of air pollutants, meteorological factors, and greenspace exposure on new tuberculosis (TB) cases. METHODS: TB case data from Shanghai (2013-2018) were obtained from the Shanghai Center for Disease Control and Prevention. Environmental data on air pollutants, meteorological variables, and greenspace exposure were obtained from the National Tibetan Plateau Data Center. We employed a distributed-lag nonlinear model to assess the effects of these environmental factors on TB cases. RESULTS: Increased TB risk was linked to PM _2.5, PM ₁₀, and rainfall, whereas NO ₂, SO ₂, and air pressure were associated with a reduced risk. Specifically, the strongest cumulative effects occurred at various lags: PM _2.5 ( RR = 1.166, 95% CI: 1.026-1.325) at 0-19 weeks; PM ₁₀ ( RR = 1.167, 95% CI: 1.028-1.324) at 0-18 weeks; NO ₂ ( RR = 0.968, 95% CI: 0.938-0.999) at 0-1 weeks; SO ₂ ( RR = 0.945, 95% CI: 0.894-0.999) at 0-2 weeks; air pressure ( RR = 0.604, 95% CI: 0.447-0.816) at 0-8 weeks; and rainfall ( RR = 1.404, 95% CI: 1.076-1.833) at 0-22 weeks. Green space exposure did not significantly impact TB cases. Additionally, low temperatures amplified the effect of PM _2.5 on TB. CONCLUSION Exposure to PM _2.5, PM ₁₀, and rainfall increased the risk of TB, highlighting the need to address air pollutants for the prevention of TB in Shanghai.

OBJECTIVE: Cigarette smoking exacerbates the progression of pulmonary tuberculosis (TB). The role of tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS) in chronic lung diseases has gained attention; however, it remains unclear whether smoking-exacerbated lung damage in TB is associated with TLS. This study aimed to analyze the characteristics of pulmonary TLS in smokers with TB and to explore the possible role of TLS in smoking-related lung injury in TB. METHODS: Lung tissues from 36 male patients (18 smokers and 18 non-smokers) who underwent surgical resection for pulmonary TB were included in this study. Pathological and immunohistological analyses were conducted to evaluate the quantity of TLS, and chest computed tomography (CT) was used to assess the severity of lung lesions. The correlation between the TLS quantity and TB lesion severity scores was analyzed. The immune cells and chemokines involved in TLS formation were also evaluated and compared between smokers and non-smokers. RESULTS: Smoker patients with TB had significantly higher TLS than non-smokers ( P < 0.001). The TLS quantity in both the lung parenchyma and peribronchial regions correlated with TB lesion severity on chest CT (parenchyma: r = 0.5767; peribronchial: r = 0.7373; both P < 0.001). Immunohistochemical analysis showed increased B cells, T cells, and C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 13 (CXCL13) expression in smoker patients with TB ( P < 0.001). CONCLUSION Smoker TB patients exhibited increased pulmonary TLS, which was associated with exacerbated lung lesions on chest CT, suggesting that cigarette smoking may exacerbate lung damage by promoting TLS formation.

Objective:To investigate the effect of early high-sucrose diet (eHSD) on cognitive function and its regulatory mechanism in 3×Tg-AD mice.Methods:(1) Eighteen specific-pathogen-free (SPF)-grade 2-month-old wide-type (WT) mice were randomly divided into a WT+normal chow diet (NCD) group and a WT+eHSD group, with 9 mice in each group; and 18 SPF-grade 2-month-old 3×Tg-AD mice were randomly divided into a 3×Tg-AD+NCD group and a 3×Tg-AD+eHSD group, with 9 mice in each group. At 2-5 months old, mice in the 4 groups received standard laboratory food+purified water or 30% sucrose water, followed by standard feed for all groups. At 8 months old, cognitive function was assessed by Morris water maze test; fluorescent intensity of AT8 (phosphorylated [p]-tau) and T22 (tau oligomers) in the hippocampal tissues was detected by immunofluorescent staining; concentrations of β-amyloid protein (Aβ) 42 and Aβ 40 were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA); protein expressions of stimulator of interferon genes (STING), TANK-binding kinase 1 (TBK1), p-TBK1, and CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein β (C/EBPβ) were detected by Western blotting; activity of C/EBPβ transcription factor was detected by activity assay; mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) content in the cytoplasm of cell was detected by real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR).

Both groups of mice were given standard laboratory food+30% sucrose water at 2-5 months old, followed by standard feed until 8 months old; and then, the behavioral testing, immunofluorescent staining, ELISA, and Western blotting experiments were repeated as before. (4) C/EBPβ transgenic mice (C/EBPβTg) were crossed with 3×Tg-AD mice to obtain C/EBPβTg/3×Tg-AD mice, and Non-Tg/3×Tg-AD mice were used as controls; they were, respectively, named as C/EBPβTg/3×Tg-AD+eHSD+H-151 group, Non-Tg/3×Tg-AD+eHSD+H-151 group, and Non-Tg/3×Tg-AD+eHSD+DMSO group, with 9 mice in each group. All 3 groups of mice were given standard laboratory food+30% sucrose water at 2-5 months old; at 5-8 months old, mice in the C/EBPβTg/3×Tg-AD+eHSD+H-151 group and Non-Tg/3×Tg-AD+eHSD+H-151 group were intraperitoneally injected with H-151, while mice in the Non-Tg/3×Tg-AD+eHSD+DMSO group were injected with DMSO; and then, the behavioral testing, immunofluorescent staining, ELISA, and Western blotting experiments were repeated as before.

Objective:To compare the safety and efficacy of 3D-printed porous bioceramic artificial bone and artificial bone substitutes in the treatment of limb bone defects.Methods:A total of 220 patients with post-traumatic limb bone defects admitted to Xijing Hospital Affiliated to Air Force Medical University of the Chinese People's Liberation Army (34 cases), the Third Hospital of Hebei Medical University (60 cases), Xi'an Honghui Hospital (28 cases), the Third Hospital of Southern Medical University (18 cases), Changsha Third Hospital (28 cases), Foshan Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital (16 cases), Foshan Fuxing Chancheng Hospital (12 cases), and Henan Provincial Orthopaedic Hospital (24 cases) from May 2022 to October 2023 were included as research subjects. According to the manufacturing method of the bone graft material, the subjects were randomly divided into the 3D printed porous bioceramic artificial bone group (3D printing group) and the artificial bone substitute group (non-3D printing group) at a ratio of 1:1 by the envelope method. Adverse events that might be related to the surgery were selected through correlation evaluation and classified as abnormal laboratory indicators, systemic or other site symptoms and abnormalities, and local symptoms and abnormalities of the affected limb. The safety of the two groups was compared. The bone graft fusion rate, bone defect repair and healing rate, and short form 12 (SF-12) score of the two groups were calculated to evaluate the postoperative recovery.Results:Thirty-two cases were excluded (4 cases refused to use their data after reconsideration, 7 cases were not used after preoperative assessment, and 21 cases exceeded the standard for body mass index and laboratory indicators upon re-examination). A total of 188 cases were randomly divided into the 3D printing group and the non-3D printing group according to the random method, with 94 cases in each group. Among them, 11 cases in the 3D printing group and 9 cases in the non-3D printing group dropped out due to loss to follow-up. Finally, 168 cases completed the follow-up, including 83 cases in the 3D printing group and 85 cases in the non-3D printing group. In the 3D printing group, there were 53 males and 30 females, with an average age of 47.9±12.7 years; in the non-3D printing group, there were 53 males and 32 females, with an average age of 48.6±12.9 years. A total of 51 cases in the two groups experienced adverse events related to the surgery, including 13 cases of abnormal laboratory indicators (5 cases in the 3D printing group and 8 cases in the non-3D printing group), 15 cases of systemic or other site symptoms and abnormalities (9 cases in the 3D printing group and 6 cases in the non-3D printing group), and 23 cases of local symptoms and abnormalities of the affected limb (13 cases in the 3D printing group and 10 cases in the non-3D printing group). There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of adverse events between the two groups ( P>0.05). The bone graft fusion rates of the 3D printing group and the non-3D printing group at 6 months after surgery were 99%(82/83) and 99%(84/85), respectively, and the bone defect repair and healing rates were 89%(74/83) and 89%(76/85), respectively. At the time of 12 months after surgery, the bone graft fusion rates were 99%(82/83) and 99%(84/85), respectively, and the bone defect repair and healing rates were 94%(78/83) and 92%(78/85), respectively. There was no statistically significant difference in the bone graft fusion rate and bone defect repair and healing rate between the two groups ( P>0.05). The SF-12 scores during the screening period were 27.82±2.96 points and 27.22±4.23 points in the 3D printing group and the non-3D printing group, respectively, and at 3 months after surgery were 28.08±3.13 points and 27.64±3.16 points, at 6 months after surgery were 29.42±3.10 points and 28.55±3.45 points, and at 12 months after surgery were 29.78±2.80 points and 29.58±2.94 points, respectively. There was no statistically significant difference between the groups ( P>0.05). Both groups of surgeries were successfully completed without any serious surgical or bone graft-related complications. Conclusion:The safety and efficacy of 3D-printed porous bioceramic artificial bone in the treatment of limb bone defects are not significantly different from those of currently clinically applied artificial bone substitutes.

AIM To prepare the sustained-release microspheres of ginsenosides.METHODS The sustained-release microspheres were prepared by SPG membrane emulsification technology with poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid)(PLGA)as a shell carrier.With PLGA concentration,feed rate and Span 60 concentration as influencing factors,comprehensive score for appearance,drug loading and encapsulation efficiency as an evaluation indice,the preparation process was optimized by response surface method.The morphology of sustained-release microspheres was observed,after which the particle size,drug loading and encapsulation efficiency were determined,and the in vitro drug release was investigated.RESULTS The optimal conditons were determined to be 45 s for agitation time of primary emulsion,74.68 mg/mL for PLGA concentration,11％for feed rate,and 4.18 mg/mL for Span 60 concentration,the comprehensive score was 74.98.The round sustained-release microspheres demonstrated the average particle size of 4.33 μm,drug loading of(8.24±0.13)％,and encapsulation efficiency of(74.94±1.17)％,respectively.At 336 h,ginsenosides Rg1,Rb1,Rb2 displayed the accumulative release rates of 84.12％,78.04％,65.88％,respectively.CONCLUSION This reasonable and feasible method can be used for the preparation of sustained-release microspheres of ginsenosides with good appearance and high drug loading,which can provide references for the preparation of other water-soluble drug microspheres and solution of microsphere collapse problem.

Objective:To report construction of Evidence-Based Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Distal Radius Fractures in Adults (2024) using the Delphi method.Methods:Literature related to the study of adult distal radius fractures was fully searched for and evaluated. An expert group was established from representative experts from all over the nation. The related clinical issues were established by consulting the experts in the form of electronic questionnaires, strictly following the Delphi research method. After the first draft of Evidence-Based Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Distal Radius Fractures in Adults (2024) was written, an expert consultation questionnaire was designed for the recommendation opinions to determine the recommendation strength.Results:The clinical issues were determined by 2 rounds of correspondence based on the Delphi method. For the both rounds of correspondence, the questionnaire recovery rates were respectively 88.68% (47/53) and 98.11% (52/53), and the expert authority coefficients >0.7. According to the screening criteria based on the importance of clinical issues (mean importance score <3.5 points or a coefficient of variation ≥0.25 points and a full score ratio <30%) and expert opinions, a total of 40 clinical issues were deleted in the first round of determination of clinical issues, and a total of 5 clinical issues deleted in the second round of determination of clinical issues. The reliability analysis of the results of the 2 rounds of questionnaires showed that the Cronbach α coefficient was >0.9. In the questionnaire to determine the recommendation strength, according to the screening criteria for the consistency of recommendation strength (consistency ≥ 70%) and expert opinions, a total of 26 recommendations were screened in the first round. In the second round when the remaining 4 recommendations were investigated, one recommendation reached the consistency of recommendation strength ≥ 70%. Eventually, 27 recommendations were formed.Conclusion:The Evidence-Based Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Distal Radius Fractures in Adults (2024) constructed using the Delphi method shows good scientific validity, authority, and reliability, providing methodological references for guideline development and research.
