OBJECTIVE To investigate the targeting effect of folic acid-modified crebanine nanoparticles （FA-Cre@PEG- PLGA NPs， hereinafter referred to as “NPs”） combined with ultrasound irradiation on M109 cells in vitro and in vivo after administration， and explore the anti-tumor mechanism. METHODS CCK-8 assay was used to detect the inhibitory effect of NPs combined with ultrasound irradiation on the proliferation of M109 cells， and the best ultrasound time was selected. Using human lung cancer A549 cells as a control， the targeting of NPs combined with ultrasound irradiation to M109 cells was evaluated by free folic acid blocking assay and cell uptake assay. The effects of NPs combined with ultrasound irradiation on the migration， invasion， apoptosis， cell cycle and reactive oxygen species （ROS） levels of M109 cells were detected by cell scratch test， Transwell chamber test and flow cytometry at 1 h after 958401536@qq.com administration； the changes of mitochondrial membrane potential （MMP） were observed by fluorescence inverted microscope. A mouse subcutaneous tumor model of M109 cells was constructed， and the in vivo tumor targeting of NPs combined with ultrasound irradiation was investigated by small animal in vivo imaging technology. RESULTS NPs combined with ultrasound irradiation could significantly inhibit the proliferation of M109 cells， and the optimal ultrasound time was 1 h after administration. The free folic acid could antagonize the inhibitory effect of NPs on the proliferation of M109 cells， and combined with ultrasound irradiation could partially reverse this antagonism. Compared with A549 cells， the uptake rate of NPs in M109 cells was significantly higher （P＜0.01）， and ultrasound irradiation could promote cellular uptake. NPs combined with ultrasound irradiation could inhibit the migration and invasion of M109 cells and block the cell cycle in the G0/G1 and G2/M phases. Compared with control group， the apoptosis rate of M109 cells and ROS level were increased significantly （P＜0.01）， while the MMP decreased significantly （P＜0.01） in the different concentration （100， 200， 300 μg/mL） groups of M109 cells. Compared with the mice in non-ultrasound group， the fluorescence intensity and tumor-targeting index of the tumor site in the 0 h ultrasound group were significantly enhanced （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. CONCLUSIONS NPs combined with ultrasound irradiation have a strong targeting effect on M109 cells in vitro and in vivo， the anti-tumor mechanism includes inhibiting cell migration and invasion， blocking cell cycle， and inducing apoptosis.

Acute lateral ankle sprain (ALAS) is one of the most common sport injuries, with high incidence, recurrence and disability rates. Currently, exercise rehabilitation-based non-surgical treatment is the primary management approach for ALAS. However, there remain improper practices such as excessive immobilization or uncontrolled activity, which contribute to recurrent sprains and chronic ankle instability, significantly impairing patients′ athletic function and quality of life. To standardize the non-surgical management of ALAS, improve the cure rates, and reduce the recurrence and disability rates, Chinese Sports Rehabilitation Medicine Training Project of Chinese Medical Association, Foot and Ankle Basics and Orthopedics Group, Orthopedic Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association, and Sports Medicine Branch of Jiangsu Medical Association organized relevant experts to formulate Expert consensus on non-surgical treatment for acute lateral ankle sprain ( version 2025), following the principles of scientific vigor, practicality, and innovation. Thirteen recommendations were proposed for standardized treatment protocols across different healing phases, aiming to provide references for standard management of ALAS and improve the therapeutic outcomes.

Objective:To explore the efficacy of percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) using the partition injection technique in the treatment of Kümmell’s disease of stages Ⅰ and Ⅱ.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted of the 30 patients with stage Ⅰ or Ⅱ Kümmell’s disease (the partition group) who had been treated by PVP using the partition injection technique at Department of Spinal Surgery, Zhengzhou Orthopedic Hospital from January 2020 to January 2022. The data of another 30 patients who had been treated at the same department and the same period using conventional PVP for stage Ⅰ or Ⅱ Kümmell's disease were selected as the conventional group. In the partition group, there were 13 males and 17 females, with an age of (72.3±10.1) years and disease duration of (3.1±1.5) months. Seventeen thoracic and 13 lumbar vertebrae were affected. In the conventional group, there were 11 males and 19 females, with an age of (75.5±12.7) years and disease duration of (3.5±1.8) months. Eighteen thoracic and 12 lumbar vertebrae were affected. Surgical time, volume of bone cement injected, bone cement leakage, and bone cement distribution were compared between the 2 groups. The heights of the anterior and middle vertebral bodies, kyphotic Cobb angle, visual analog scale (VAS) pain score, and Oswestry disability index (ODI) were assessed postoperatively at 1 day, 6 months, and the last follow-up and compared between the 2 groups.Results:No significant differences were found in the baseline data between the 2 groups, indicating comparability ( P>0.05). All patients were followed up for (17.3±3.1) months. There were no significant differences in the surgical time or bone cement leakage between the 2 groups ( P>0.05). The volume of bone cement injected in the partition group was significantly higher [(6.3±1.5) mL] than that in the conventional group [(4.9±1.0) mL] ( P<0.05). Bone cement distribution was significantly better in the partition group than that in the conventional group ( P<0.05). At postoperative 1 day, 6 months, and the last follow-up, the partition group was significantly better than the conventional group in anterior vertebral body height, middle vertebral body height, and kyphotic Cobb angle ( P<0.05). At the 6-month and the last follow-ups, the partition group was also significantly better than the conventional group in VAS pain score and ODI ( P<0.05). Conclusion:In the treatment of Kümmell’s disease of stages Ⅰ and Ⅱ, compared with conventional PVP, PVP using the partition injection technique may lead to better long-term outcomes due to its better bone cement distribution, more adequate cement injection, and better restoration of vertebral body heights and correction of local deformity.

Objective To establish an ultra-high performance liquid chromatography with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry(UPLC-QTOF-MS)method for identifying the active ingredients of Zhizi Houpu decoction,and to predict its material basis and mechanism of anti-insomnia effects using network pharmacology.Methods The chemical components of Zhizi Houpu decoction were identified according to UHPLC-QTOF-MS ion fragmentation rule combined with compound library and literature review.Components with oral bioavailability(OB)≥30％and drug-like properties(DL)≥0.18 were selected to construct the Zhizi Houpu decoction-active ingredients-target network.The STRING database and the Database for Annotation,Visualization,and Integrated Discovery(DAVID)were used to screen key target proteins.Subsequently,enrichment analysis was performed for biological processes,molecular functions,cellular components,and signaling pathways.Results A total of 107 chemical components were identified,including 35 compounds related to insomnia and 11 anti-insomnia targets such as AKT serine/threonine kinase 1,tumor protein 53,and prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2.Gene Ontology functional enrichment analysis indicated that Zhizi Houpo decoction may exert its effects through cellular components such as the presynaptic membrane,dendrite,and plasma membrane,by participating in biological processes like chemical synaptic transmission,G protein signaling pathway,and neuron apoptosis,and by regulating molecular functions such as G protein-coupled serotonin receptor activity.Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway enrichment analysis revealed that its anti-insomnia effects were mainly concentrated in pathways such as neuroactive ligand-receptor interaction,calcium signaling pathway,serotonergic synapse,and cyclic adenosine monophosphate signaling pathway.Conclusion The anti-insomnia effect of Zhizi Houpo decoction is the result of a synergistic action involving multiple components,multiple targets,and multiple pathways.Its material basis and mechanism of action are primarily related to regulating biological processes such as neurotransmitter metabolism,synaptic function,neuronal apoptosis,and inflammatory response.

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the inhibitory effect of GSK484, a PAD4 inhibitor, on H3Cit expression following sepsis and its effects for improving sepsis-induced endothelial dysfunction. METHODS: Eighteen C57BL/6 mice were randomized into sham-operated group, sepsis model group and GSK484 treatment group (n=6), and in the latter two groups, models of sepsis were established by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP). The mice in GSK484 treatment group were given an intraperitoneal injection of GSK484 (4 mg/kg) on the second day following the surgery. Twenty-four hours after the injection, the mice were euthanized for measurement of serum levels of VEGF, ESM-1, IL-6 and IL-1β using ELISA. Lung tissue pathology was observed with HE staining, and pulmonary expressions of F-actin, VE-cadherin, ZO-1 and H3Cit proteins were detected using immunofluorescence staining and Western blotting. In primary cultured of mouse lung microvascular endothelial cells, the effect of stimulation with LPS (10 μg/mL) for 24 h on tube formation, proliferation, apoptosis and expressions of VEGF, ESM-1, IL-6 and IL-1β were assessed using CCK-8 assay, flow cytometry and ELISA. RESULTS: Compared to the sham-operated mice, the septic mice exhibited significant lung tissue pathologies characterized by vascular congestion, alveolar rupture, edema, and neutrophil infiltration. Serum levels of IL-6, IL-1β, VEGF, and ESM-1 were elevated, pulmonary expressions of F-actin, VE-cadherin, and ZO-1 were decreased, and H3Cit expression was increased significantly in the septic mice. GSK484 treatment effectively mitigated these changes in the septic mice. The LPS-stimulated endothelial cells showed increased productions of IL-6, IL-1β, VEGF and ESM-1, which were significantly reduced after treatment with 2.5 μmol/L GSK484. CONCLUSIONS GSK484 treatment effectively suppresses H3Cit expression in septic mice to ameliorate sepsis-induced endothelial dysfunction.

Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.
