Objective:To prepare ((2-(2-chlorophenyl)-3-(4-((2- 18F-fluoroethyl)oxy)phenyl)-5, 6, 7, 8-tetrahydrooxepino[3, 2-c]pyrazol-8-yl)amino)methanoic acid methyl ester ( 18F-JR-1001) and evaluate its binding affinity to the cannabinoid type 1 receptor (CB1R). Methods:18F-JR-1001 was synthesized using an integrated automated synthesis module, and its radiochemical yield (RCY) and molar activity were determined. Cell-specific uptake, lipid-water partition coefficient (log P), competitive binding assays, and in vitro stability tests were performed. Rimonabant-fed rat models (blocking group) with pre-occupied CB1R were established. Radioautography and microPET/CT imaging were conducted on both the blocking group and normal Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats to evaluate the brain uptake of 18F-JR-1001 and its blood-brain barrier (BBB) penetration capability. Results:The RCY of the synthetic 18F-JR-1001 after decay correction was (32.5±9.2)% ( n=10), with the molar activity of (194.6±67.3)GBq/μmol. Cell experiments demonstrated that 18F-JR-1001 exhibited specificity for CB1R, with log P of 3.40±0.11 ( n=3) and half-maximal inhibitory concentration of 0.975nmol/L. Within 3h at 37℃, the radiochemical purity of 18F-JR-1001 in physiological saline and blood remained above 92%, with no significant radioactive by-product peaks observed. Radioautography showed that the whole brain uptake of 18F-JR-1001 in the blocking group was 65.6% of that in normal SD rats. MicroPET/CT imaging showed that the mean whole brain uptake of 18F-JR-1001 in the blocking group was 0.4706, which was lower than that in normal SD rats (1.0561). Additionally, continuous scanning for 60min demonstrated that 18F-JR-1001 exhibited good BBB penetration capability. Conclusion:The synthesized 18F-JR-1001 meets the requirements of production and application, and is proved the potential as a CB1R-targeted tracer in the in vitro experiments, microPET/CT imaging and radioautography.

As people’s attention to health continues to increase, the market demand for traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is growing steadily. The quality and safety of Chinese medicinal materials have attracted unprecedented social attention. In particular, the issue of exogenous harmful residue pollution in TCM has become a hot topic of concern for both regulatory authorities and society. The Chinese Pharmacopoeia 2025 Edition further refines the detection methods and limit standards for exogenous harmful residues in TCM. This not only reflects China’s high-level emphasis on the quality and safety of TCM but also demonstrates the continuous progress made by China in the field of TCM safety supervision. Basis on this study, by systematically reviewing the development history of the detection standards for exogenous harmful residues in TCM and analyzing the revisions and updates of these detection standards in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia 2025 Edition, deeply explores the key points of the changes in the monitoring standards for exogenous harmful residues in TCM in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia 2025 Edition. Moreover, it interprets the future development directions of the detection of exogenous residues in TCM, aiming to provide a reference for the formulation of TCM safety supervision policies.

Objective To observe the difference of bone micro-structure in different regions of proximal femur,micro-CT scanning was performed on 30 proximal femur specimens to explain the mechanism of proximal femur fracture and to provide anatomical basis for prosthesis design.Methods Totally 30 intact proximal femur specimens were obtained from 60-80 year-old cadavers.Micro-CT scanning was used to measure the trabecular thickness(Tb.Th),trabecular number(Tb.N),trabecular space(Tb.Sp),connectivity(Conn)and bone mineral density(BMD)and other parameters in 7 regions of proximal femur,including proximal pressure trabecular(PPT),distal pressure trabecular(DPT),femoral head-neck junction(FHNJ),head and neck of femoral neck(HNFN),the base of femoral neck(BPFN),intertrochanteric line(IL)and greater trochanter(GT).Results The bone mineral density of IL and GT were higher than those of BPFN,FHNJ,DPT and PPT.The trabecular thickness of GT was the largest,followed by IL,BPFN and HNFN,and the smallest was FHNJ,DPT and PPT.The trabecular space of IL was larger than that of GT,and the data of both were larger than those of other parts,among which DPT and PPT were the smallest.The trabecular number of IL and GT were the smallest,BPFN,HNFN and FHNJ were larger,and DPT was the largest.The volume fraction of IL was the smallest,BPFN and HNFN were larger,DPT and PPT were the largest.Conclusion The bone density,trabecular thickness,bone volume,and total volume of GT and IL in the proximal femur of elderly patients are all relatively large,so the reason for the high incidence of fractures is not due to weak internal bone microstructure;The bone density,trabecular thickness,and trabecular gap at the proximal and distal ends of the vertical trabecular bone are relatively small.If it is necessary to perform core decompression for prosthesis filling at this location,the design should be conducive to the mechanical conduction of the prosthesis and the regeneration of surrounding bone tissue.

BACKGROUND:Non-traumatic necrosis of the femoral head is a difficult joint disease,and preserving one's own femoral head is of great significance for young patients.Currently,there is a lack of regular and unified functional exercise plans.OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of hip abductor muscle exercise on the three-dimensional gait and collapse rate of patients with non-traumatic femoral head necrosis,and to provide theoretical basis for effective rehabilitation of patients with non-traumatic femoral head necrosis.METHODS:Totally 81 non-traumatic and non-surgical patients with femoral head necrosis(81 hips)admitted to the Third Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine from June 2020 to June 2022 were included.Patients were randomly divided into a control group(n=40)and a hip abductor muscle exercise group(n=41).The control group received routine physical therapy and medication treatment.The hip abductor muscle exercise group underwent hip abductor muscle exercise on the basis of the control group.The gait status(hip joint range of motion,step length difference,and ground contact time difference)of two groups of patients was evaluated using the Tecnobody balance assessment system before and 12 weeks after treatment.The BIODEX-S4 isokinetic muscle strength testing system was used to test the peak force distance of hip abduction isokinetic muscle strength.Gluteus medius width ratio was compared between two groups.The collapse rate was compared between two groups of patients 1 year after treatment.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)There was no statistically significant difference between the hip abductor muscle exercise group and the control group in terms of age,gender,side profile,body mass index,and etiology(P>0.05).(2)Before treatment,there was no significant statistical difference in the range of motion of the affected hip joint between the two groups(P>0.05).After treatment,the range of motion of the affected hip joint in both groups improved compared to before treatment(P<0.05),and the range of motion of the affected hip joint in the hip abductor muscle exercise group was significantly higher than that in the control group(P<0.05).(3)Before treatment,there was no significant statistical difference in the step length and touchdown time between the two groups(P>0.05).12 weeks after treatment,the difference in step length and touchdown time between the two groups decreased compared to before treatment(P<0.05),and the difference in step length and touchdown time between the hip abductor muscle exercise group after treatment was significantly greater than that of the control group(P<0.05).(4)Before treatment,there was no significant statistical difference in gluteus medius width ratio between the two groups(P>0.05).12 weeks after treatment,the gluteus medius width ratio of both groups increased compared to that before treatment(P<0.05),and the gluteus medius width ratio of the hip abductor muscle exercise group was significantly higher than that of the control group(P<0.05).(5)At 1 year after treatment,the comparison of femoral head collapse rates between the two groups showed significant statistical significance(P<0.05),and that in the hip abductor muscle exercise group(22%)was significantly lower than that in the control group(45%).(6)It is concluded that exercise of the hip abductor muscle effectively enhances hip joint function,improves gait,and reduces the rate of femoral head collapse in patients with non-traumatic femoral head necrosis.It is recommended to use hip abductor muscle exercise as one of the basic methods for hip preservation in non-traumatic femoral head necrosis.

Aim To investigate the impact of G pro-tein-coupled estrogen receptor 1(GPER1),also known as GPR30 playing a significant role in the nerv-ous system,on neuronal damage and cognitive dysfunc-tion following epileptic seizures.Methods The pro-tein expression levels of GPER1 and the DNA damage marker γ-H2AX in epileptic rats were assessed using Western blot.The hippocampal neuronal damage and apoptosis in pilocarpine-induced epilepsy models were evaluated using Nissl and TUNEL staining techniques,compared with GPER1 knockdown(GPER1-KD)rats with wild-type(WT)controls.The behavioral activi-ties,including memory and spatial learning,were mo-nitored during the chronic phase of epilepsy using the IntelliCage system.Results Compared to the control group,GPER1 protein expression in the cerebral cortex and hippocampus significantly increased 24 hours post-epilepsy onset.In the GPER1-KD+EP group,hipp-ocampal neuronal damage was more severe,with a sig-nificant increase in apoptotic neurons compared to the WT+EP group.The IntelliCage data revealed that during free exploration,nose contact,position learn-ing,and reverse position learning stages in the GPER1-KD+EP group exhibited fewer visits and a higher error rate than in the WT+EP group.Conclu-sions Deficiency in GPER1 impairs memory and spa-tial learning abilities following epilepsy,potentially due to exacerbated neuronal injury,apoptosis,and inflam-mation.GPER1 represents a promising therapeutic tar-get for mitigating post-epileptic nerve damage and cog-nitive impairment.
