Lysosomes represent a promising target for cancer therapy and reducing drug resistance. However, the short treatment time and low efficiency of lysosomal targeting have limited the application in lysosome-targeting anticancer drugs. In this study, we proposed an adhesive-bandage approach and synthesized a new lysosomal targeting drug, namely long-term lysosome-targeting anticancer drug (LLAD). It contains a SLC38A9-targeting covalently bound moiety and an alkaline component both to prolong the inhibition of SLC38A9 in lysosomes and alkalinize lysosomes. Upon short term and low-dose treatment of HeLa cells, at passage 0, with LLAD, it rapidly alkalinized lysosomes and also can be detected in lysosomes even at passage 15. LLAD induced apoptosis in HeLa cells through long-term lysosomal damage, and showed better long-term anticancer effect than cisplatin in vivo. Overall, our study paves the way for developing long-term lysosomal targeting drugs to treat cancer and overcome the drug resistance of cancer cells, and also provides a candidate drug, LLAD, for treating cancer.

The connection between tendons and bones is called the tendon bone connection. With the continuous improvement of national sports awareness, excessive exercises and the related intensity are prone to damage the tendon bone connection. Tendon bone healing is a complex repair and healing process involving multiple factors, and good tendon bone healing is a prerequisite for its physiological function. The complexity of tendon bone structure also poses great challenges to the repair of tendon bone injuries. In recent years, researches have found that stem cells, growth factors, macrophages, and other factors are closely related to the healing process of tendon bone injuries, among which macrophages play an important role in the healing process. The authors reviewed relevant research literature in recent years and summarized the role of macrophages in tendon bone healing, in order to provide new ideas and directions for treatment strategies to promote tendon bone healing.

Objective:Study on the correlation between the active components of Salviea Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma screened by high-throughput sequencing and the regulation of lncRNA-mRNA in human lung adenocarcinoma A549 cells.Methods:A549 cells were cultured, and the IC 50 dose of cryptotanshinone and tanshinone ⅡA was confirmed according to the cell proliferation experiment. A549 cells were randomly divided into blank control group, cryptotanshinone group, and tanshinone IIA group using a random number table method. After 24 hours of intervention, the cell cycle was detected by flow cytometry. High-throughput sequencing technique was used to detect the expressions of lncRNA and mRNA in A549 cells in intervention group and non-intervention group. By analyzing the expression profiles of differential genes related to cryptotanshinone and tanshinone ⅡA, the obtained differential genes were analyzed by GO and KEGG. Results:The cell cycle results showed that the proportion of G0/G1 phase cells in cryptotanshinone and Tanshinone ⅡA was increased ( P<0.01), the proportion of S phase cells was decreased ( P<0.01), and the proportion of G2/M phase cells in cryptotanshinone was decreased ( P<0.01). The results of high-throughput screening showed that cryptotanshinone could up-regulate 4 698 lncRNA, down-regulate 1 557 lncRNA, up-regulate 4 810 mRNA and down-regulate 5 644 mRNA. Tanshinone ⅡA could up-regulate 1 348 lncRNA, down-regulate 1 299 lncRNA, up-regulate 4646 mRNA and down-regulate 4 741 mRNA. The function and pathway enrichment analysis of differential lncRNA and mRNA showed that the differentially expressed genes of cryptotanshinone and tanshinone ⅡA were mainly related to cell cycle, autophagy, AMPK signaling pathway, FoxO signaling pathway and EGFR signaling pathway. GAS5 may be one of the targets for the inhibitory effects of cryptotanshinone and tanshinone ⅡA. Conclusion:Cryptotanshinone and tanshinone ⅡA have certain inhibitory effects on A549 cells, and there are differentially expressed genes of lncRNA-mRNA, which are closely related to cell cycle and signal pathway.

Objective:To provide data references for psychological selection of student pilots by verifying the predictive validity of the total score of psychological selection (TSPS) in primary training stage.Methods:A systematic evaluation study was conducted. A cluster sampling of student pilots graduated from an academy in recent years was performed. The total scores that represented the comprehensive level of the students in primary training stage and their scores of college entrance examination in recruitment stage were collected and converted (standard deviation standardization) into flight performance (FP) and standardized scores of college entrance examination (SSCEE). TSPS was extracted and its 3 sub-scores, such as basic cognitive ability scores (BCAS), flight special ability scores (FSAS) and interview performance scores (IPS), were processed to 9-point scale. According to standard deviation, SSCEE was divided into high score group (≥1.0 point), medium score group (-1.0-1.0 point) and low score group (≤-1.0 point). TSPS was divided into high score group (≥6.5 points), medium score group (4.5-6.5 points) and low score group (≤4.5 points) according to the classification method of enrollment stage. The FP differences were compared among different student pools, SSCEE and TSPS. The correlation between FP and SSCEE, TSPS, BCAS, FSAS and IPS was analyzed respectively. By taking BCAS, FSAS, IPS and SSCEE as the independent variables and FP as the dependent variable, the regression equation was constructed. According to the prediction results of correlation analysis and regression analysis, the optimal weights of BCAS, FSAS and IPS composed in TSPS model were calculated.Results:A total of 267 student pilots were selected, and TSPS, BCAS, FSAS and IPS all showed positive correlations with FP ( r=0.440, 0.160, 0.303, 0.380, all P<0.001). There was a significant difference in FP among different TSPS group ( H=55.37, P<0.001). There were significant differences in FP and TSPS among different student pool groups ( H=7.26 , F=7.43, P=0.039,<0.001). There was no significant difference in FP and TSPS among different SSCEE groups ( P>0.05). TSPS calculated based on correlation coefficient and regression coefficient was positively correlated with FP ( r=0.450, 0.452, both P<0.001). The prediction validity of each model was better than that of the existing model (0.440). Conclusions:In psychological selection, IPS and FSAS positively contribute to the predictions of the training efficiency of student pilots. Among which, IPS and FSAS take relative higher weights in TSPS model. It is suggested that the psychological selection should be managed upon scientific scheduling, as well as the dynamic optimization and effective evaluation mechanism.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy of osteochondral fragment fixation using bioabsorbable pins for Hepple Ⅱ osteochondral lesions of the talus (OLT) in adolescents.Methods:Retrospective case analysis was used. The clinical data and follow-up results of 13 adolescent patients (13 feet) with Hepple Ⅱ OLT were all treated with osteochondral fragment fixation using bioabsorbable pins admitted to Shanghai Sixth People′s Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine from January 2017 to December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 7 males and 6 females, with 13 right feet. The age was (14.85±2.23) years old, ranged from 12 to 18 years old. According to the American orthopedic foot and ankle society (AOFAS) ankle-hindfoot score, visual analogue scale (VAS) and SF-36 score before operation and at the last follow-up were used to evaluate the efficacy and function of the patients. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as mean ± standard deviation( ± s), and the comparison between groups was conducted using the t-test; The mearsurement data with skewness distribution were expressed by M( Q1, Q3), and rank-sum test was used for inter-group comparison. Results:Thirteen adolescent patients (13 feet) with Hepple Ⅱ OLT underwent surgery successfully and were followed up for (25.54±9.95) months. All wounds healed by first intention, and no complications such as wound infection and delayed healing occurred. Preoperative AOFAS ankle-posterior foot score, VAS and SF-36 score were 58.62±3.55, 7.00 (6.50, 8.00) and 68.38±4.81, respectively. At the last follow-up, the scores were 97.38±2.73, 1.00 (0.00, 1.00), 91.15±4.28, respectively, and the results were significantly improved at the last follow-up, with the difference between the two groups statistically significant( P<0.05). Conclusion:Osteochondral fragment fixation using bioabsorbable pins which can promote cartilage repair, significantly improve symptoms, and achieve better clinical satisfaction with fewer complications, is a safe and effective surgical treatment option for Hepple Ⅱ OLT in adolescents with satisfactory short-term clinical outcomes.

Objective:To evaluate the mid-term efficacy of surgery for sub-acute injury to distal tibiofibular syndesmosis associated with ankle fracture.Methods:From July 2014 to October 2019, 14 patients were treated at Foot & Ankle Section, Department of Orthopaedics, Shanghai Sixth People’s Hospital for sub-acute injury to distal tibiofibular syndesmosis associated with ankle fracture.There were 11 males and 3 females, aged from 17 to 61 years (mean, 35.9 years).According to Danis-Weber classification, 6 cases were type B and 8 type C; according to Lauge-Hansen classification, 7 cases belonged to supination-external rotation, one to pronation-abduction, and 6 to pronation-external rotation (Maisonneuve fracture in 4).The syndesmosis injury was treated by fixation with distal tibiofibular screws in 11 cases, by Tightrope elastic fixation in one, by hybrid fixation with distal tibiofibular screws and Tightrope in one, and by distal tibiofibular fusion in one.Postoperative complications were recorded.Their visual analogue scale (VAS) and American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society ankle-hindfoot scores (AOFAS-AH) were compared between preoperation and the last follow-up.Results:The 14 patients were followed up for 24 to 85 months (mean, 46.8 months). Of the 9 patients whose distal tibiofibular screws had been removed (including one with hybrid fixation), wound infection occurred in one after removal of all the internal fixation, distal tibiofibular widening in 2, ankle degeneration in 5 and fibular nonunion in one. Of the other 3 patients whose distal tibiofibular screws had not been removed, screw breakage happened in 2, screw loosening in one and distal tibiofibular widening in one. The VAS scores were significantly improved from preoperative 6.8±0.9 to 1.4±1.3 at the last follow-up; the AOFAS-AH scores were increased significantly from preoperative 35.3±6.3 to 86.8±11.7 at the last follow-up (both P<0.001). According to AOFAS-AH scores, 8 cases were excellent, 4 good and 2 moderate. Conclusion:Surgery for sub-acute injury to distal tibiofibular syndesmosis associated with ankle fracture can restabilize the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis and ankle joint, reduce pain and improve ankle function, leading to fine mid-term efficacy.
