The repair of bone defects is heavily influenced by the dynamic osteogenic microenvironment. Static scaffolds constructed by traditional 3D printing technology cannot simulate the dynamic nature of the microenvironment during bone defect repair due to the fixed structure, uncontrollable release of active factors, and difficult regeneration of blood vessels, among other factors. Breaking through the limitations of these static scaffolds and realizing the intelligent and dynamic regulation of the osteogenic microenvironment is a key scientific issue in the field of bone tissue engineering. 4D printing technology combines the dynamic responsiveness of bone restoration materials with the concept of intelligent design to regulate the micro and macro structure of scaffolds. This technology provides a new method for bone tissue engineering by responding to endogenous and exogenous stimuli and creating a better osteogenic microenvironment through functionalized design, including drug delivery and antibacterial function. However, this technology currently suffers from challenges related to dynamic response material design, insufficient precision of printing technology, and mismatches between multi-stimulus response systems, metabolic rhythms of bone tissue, and functionalized composite scaffolds. Future research should focus on the development of smart response materials with excellent dynamic responses and bioactivity, the creation of new printing technologies, and the design of personalized and precise bone repair solutions. The aim of this paper is to review the current research status of 4D printing for bone tissue engineering in terms of material types, response mechanisms, and applications to provide a theoretical basis for the development and clinical application of functional bone repair materials in the future.

Pulmonary fibrosis(PF)is a chronic progressive lung disease caused by a variety of etiologies and is also a common outcome of various chronic inflammatory lung diseases.The incidence of pulmonary fibrosis is increasing year by year,with a high mortality rate that seriously threatens the life and health of patients.Although two drugs,pirfenidone and nintedanib,are already on the market for the treatment of pulmonary fibrosis,they can only slow down the progression of the disease but cannot reverse or stop the process of pulmonary fibrosis,and long-term use can produce a variety of adverse reactions.Therefore,it is highly necessary to develop new drugs for pulmonary fibrosis that are more targeted,effective,and well-tolerated by patients.The phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase(PI3K)signaling pathway plays an important role in the pathogenesis of pulmonary fibrosis.Targeted inhibition of the PI3K signaling pathway may be an important direction for the development of new drugs for pulmonary fibrosis.At present,some PI3K signaling pathway inhibitors have shown good effects in preventing and treating pulmonary fibrosis,but most of them are still in the research stage.This article reviews the role of the PI3K signaling pathway in PF,further summarizes promising PI3K pathway inhibitors with PF therapeutic effects,including inhibitors in clinical trials and preclinical studies,and discusses their mechanisms of action and development prospects.

Metastatic dissemination is the major cause of death from breast-cancer (BC). Fusobacterium nucleatum (F.n) is widely enriched in BC and has recently been identified as one of the high-risk factors for promoting BC metastasis. Here, with an experimental model, we demonstrated that intratumoral F.n induced BC aggressiveness by transcriptionally activating Epithelial-mesenchymal transition-associated genes. Therefore, the F.n may be a potential target to prevent metastasis. Given the fact that cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are abundant in BC and located near blood vessels, we report an optogenetic system that drives CAF to in situ produce human antibacterial peptide LL37, with the characteristics of biosafety and freely intercellular trafficking, for depleting intratumoral F.n, leading to a 72.1% reduction in lung metastatic nodules number without affecting the balance of the systemic flora. Notably, mild photothermal treatment was found that could normalize CAF, contributing to synergistically inhibiting BC metastasis. In addition, the system can also simultaneously encode a gene of TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand to suppress the primary tumor. Together, our study highlights the potential of local elimination of tumor pathogenic bacteria to prevent BC metastasis.

Objective To investigate the levels of radionuclides in food in Beijing, China, and assess the committed effective dose to local residents from food intake. Methods From 2021 to 2022, a total of 65 food samples across 7 categories were collected in Beijing. The activity concentrations of radionuclides, including ¹³⁷Cs, ²¹⁰Pb, ²³⁸U, ²²⁸Ra, ²²⁶Ra, ⁴⁰K, ⁹⁰Sr, ²¹⁰Po, ³H and ¹⁴C, were measured using gamma spectrometry and radiochemical methods. By combining the monitoring results with dietary consumption data of Beijing residents and the internal dose coefficients for Chinese reference adult phantom, the committed effective dose was estimated. Results The levels of radionuclides in food in Beijing were within the normal background range, consistent with related surveys in China and abroad, with activity concentrations below national standard limits. No significant differences were found in the activity concentrations of ¹³⁷Cs, ²³⁸U, ²²⁸Ra, ²²⁶Ra and ⁴⁰K between food samples collected from key areas and those from control areas (P > 0.05). The committed effective doses calculated according to internal dose coefficients for Chinese reference adult male phantom and GB 18871-2002 were 0.26 mSv and 0.19 mSv, respectively. Based on the Chinese reference adult male phantom, the majority of the committed effective dose was attributed to ²¹⁰Pb (45.1%), ²²⁸Ra (37.1%), ²¹⁰Po (12.3%), and ²²⁶Ra (4.7%). Conclusion The levels of radionuclides in food in Beijing fluctuated within the background range, resulting in a low radiation dose burden to the population.

Objective:To investigate the optimal timing for stage II vitreous surgery for open ocular trauma and its effects on complications, intraocular pressure, and visual acuity.Methods:A total of 98 patients with open ocular trauma were selected as subjects from the Third Department of Ophthalmology at Baoji People's Hospital who received treatment between May 2021 and March 2024. This study used a retrospective design. Based on the different intervals between stage I emergency debridement and suturing and stage II vitreous surgery, the patients were divided into two groups: the control group (with an interval of > 14 days) and the observation group (with an interval of ≤ 14 days), with 49 cases in each group. The postoperative complications, intraocular pressure recovery, and visual acuity improvement were compared between the two groups.Results:At 1 month after surgery, the total cure rate in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group [95.92% (47/49) vs. 81.63% (40/49), χ2 = 5.02, P = 0.025]. In the observation group, the visual acuity levels were as follows: level I [2.05% (1/49)], level II [4.08% (2/49)], level III [6.12% (3/49)], level IV [77.55% (38/49)], and level V [10.20% (5/49)]. These results were significantly better than those in the control group, which had the following levels: 18.37% (9/49), 20.41% (10/49), 24.49% (12/49), 34.69% (17/49), and 2.05% (1/49) for levels I-V respectively ( Z = 5.12, P < 0.001). At 1 week after surgery, there were no statistically significant differences in the rates of normal intraocular pressure, high intraocular pressure, or low intraocular pressure between the observation and control groups (all P > 0.05). At 1 week after surgery, the levels of interleukin-4 (IL-4), IL-6, IL-12, IL-17, and interferon-γ in the observation group were (14.85 ± 2.82) ng/L, (7.52 ± 0.54) ng/L, (10.05 ± 2.63) ng/L, (9.17 ± 1.83) ng/L, and (8.95 ± 2.30) ng/L, respectively. These levels in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group [(16.48 ± 2.46) ng/L, (7.83 ± 0.64) ng/L, (11.30 ± 2.60) ng/L, (10.22 ± 1.46) ng/L, (10.03 ± 2.24) ng/L, t = -2.79, -2.37, -2.16, -2.87, -2.15, all P < 0.05]. The incidences of silicone oil-dependent eyes, secondary glaucoma, re-vitreal hemorrhage, and ocular atrophy in the observation group were not statistically different from those in the control group (all P > 0.05). The incidence of traumatic proliferative vitreo-retinopathy in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group [0 vs. 10.20% (5/49), χ2 = 5.27, P = 0.022]. Conclusions:In patients with open ocular trauma, performing stage II vitreous surgery within 2 weeks after stage I emergency debridement and suturing yields better therapeutic outcomes. This approach can significantly increase the retinal reattachment rate, improve postoperative visual acuity, and effectively prevent and reduce the incidence of traumatic proliferative vitreoretinopathy.

Objective:To study the risk factors and dosiomics-based prediction model of bone marrow suppression in patients with esophageal cancer during radiotherapy.Methods:Clinic data and radiotherapy planning documents of 107 patients with oesophageal cancer who underwent radiotherapy at the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from January 2021 to May 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. Blood test results before and during radiotherapy were collected, and patients were classified into myelosuppressive groups (≤grade 1 and ≥grade 2). Clinical features, traditional dosimetric features and dosiomics features were collected, respectively. According to the stratified randomization grouping method, all patients were divided into the training and test sets in a 7 vs. 3 ratio. The region of interest was obtained by automatically outlining the thoracic skeleton (including the sternum, thoracic vertebrae and ribs) by AccuContour software. Dosiomics features were extracted from the dose distribution of the thoracic skeleton, and these features were screened using the independent samples t-test, the muse selector and the least absolute shrinkage operator. Subsequently, the dosiomic scores were calculated. Statistically significant clinical characteristics were screened using univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses. Support vector machine method was used to construct a clinical model and a clinical combined with dosiomic model. Subsequently, nomogram was drawn for clinical prediction. The clinical efficacy and clinical benefit of predictive model were assessed by plotting the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and evaluating its performance through the area under the ROC curve (AUC), the calibration curve and decision curve analysis (DCA). Results:Thirteen dosiomic features associated with bone marrow suppression were screened. Based on both univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses, simultaneous chemotherapy, V 35 Gy and the average dose to bone were identified as statistically significant clinical predictors (all P<0.05). The AUC values of the combined model in the training and test sets were 0.800 and 0.776, higher than 0.709 and 0.650 of the clinical model. The calibration curves showed good agreement between the predicted and actual probabilities of the combined model. The DCA results showed that the net clinical benefit of the combined model was higher than that of the clinical model. Conclusions:The combined dosiomics-based model is effective in improving the predictive performance of bone marrow suppression occurring after radiotherapy for esophageal cancer.
