Mitochondrial dysfunction in chondrocytes is a key pathogenic factor in osteoarthritis (OA), but directly modulating mitochondria in vivo remains a significant challenge. This study is the first to verify a correlation between mitochondrial dysfunction and the downregulation of the FOXO3 gene in the cartilage of OA patients, highlighting the potential for regulating mitophagy via FOXO3 gene modulation to alleviate OA. Consequently, we developed a chondrocyte-targeting CRISPR/Cas9-based FOXO3 gene-editing tool (FoxO3) and integrated it within a nanoengineered 'truck' (NETT, FoxO3-NETT). This was further encapsulated in injectable hydrogel microspheres (FoxO3-NETT@SMs) to harness the antioxidant properties of sodium alginate and the enhanced lubrication of hybrid exosomes. Collectively, these FoxO3-NETT@SMs successfully activate mitophagy and rebalance mitochondrial function in OA chondrocytes through the Foxo3 gene-modulated PINK1/Parkin pathway. As a result, FoxO3-NETT@SMs stimulate chondrocytes proliferation, migration, and ECM production in vitro, and effectively alleviate OA progression in vivo, demonstrating significant potential for clinical applications.

Objective:To investigate the application effect of reverse abdominal wall advancement flap in repairing chest wall soft tissue defect after breast tumor resection.Methods:From October 2020 to April 2021, the Department of Plastic Surgery and Breast Surgery of Hainan Cancer Hospital cooperated to repair the chest wall wounds of 4 female patients with unilateral giant breast tumors after primary lesion resection. Patients aged 40-63 years old, with an average of 51.5 years old. The size of the tumor estimated by physical examination was 7 cm × 6 cm-15 cm × 20 cm. The flaps were closely monitored after surgery, and complications were recorded. Local recurrence was followed-up.Results:The wound size of 4 patients after mastectomy was 16 cm×14 cm-20 cm×18 cm. Abdomen separation range reached anterior axillary line laterally and contralateral clavicle midline medially. Inferiorly, 1 case reached umbilical level, 1 case reached 2 cm below the umbilicus, and 2 cases reached 3 cm below the umbilicus. Three cases were diagnosed as breast lobulated tumors, and 1 case invasive lobular carcinoma. Among the 4 cases, 3 flaps survived completely and healed by first intention, while another flap healed under blister scab. There was no necrosis, infection, hematoma, seroma, or vascular crisis of the flap. All patients were satisfied. Three patients received radiotherapy and one received radiotherapy combined with oral chemotherapy. All patients were followed up for 3-6 months. No local recurrence was discovered. The abdomen was tighter than before operation, but no stiffness was found. There was no abdominal pain, abdominal wall bulging or abdominal hernia.Conclusions:Reverse abdominal wall advancedment flap was used to repair soft tissue defect of the chest wall after breast tumor resection. The operation was simple and fast, with no need for additional donor site incision. Quick recovery allowed shorter interval between surgery and next scheduled treatments.

Objective To investigate the effects of statins on inflammation factors in the treatment of patients with rheumatoid arthritis(RA) .Methods Relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were retrieved from the following electronic databases :PubMed(January 1966 to August 2011) ,CENTRAL(Cochrane Controlled trials Register ;issue 3 ,2011) and EMBASE .com(Janu-ary 1984 to August 2011) .Two independent reviewers systematically identified prospective RCTs to detect the effect of statins on inflammation in patients with RA .A Meta-analysis of these clinical trials was then performed .Results 7 RCTs ,enrolling a total of 279 patients .Inflammation level of RA was assessed by erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and C-reactive protein(CRP) level .St-atins had a positive effect on reducing the CRP [x-0 .58s ,95% CI:(-1 .08 ,-0 .09) ,P=0 .02] ,but did not has a positive effect on reducing the ESR[x-3 .62s ,95% CI:(-12 .15 ,4 .92) ,P=0 .41] level in patients with RA .Conclusion Statins therapy in patients with RA may have a positive effect on reducing the inflammation factors level .And more RCTs would be necessary to further con-firme the effect .
