Objective: To investigate the efficacy of magnesium-strontium co-doped hydroxyapatite mineralized collagen (MSHA/Col) in improving the bone repair microenvironment and enhancing bone regeneration capacity, providing a strategy to address the insufficient biomimetic composition and limited bioactivity of traditional hydroxyapatite mineralized collagen (HA/Col) scaffolds. Methods: A high-molecular-weight polyacrylic acid-stabilized amorphous calcium magnesium strontium phosphate precursor (HPAA/ACMSP) was prepared. Its morphology and elemental distribution were characterized by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and energy-dispersive spectroscopy. Recombinant collagen sponge blocks were immersed in the HPAA/ACMSP mineralization solution. Magnesium-strontium co-doped hydroxyapatite was induced to deposit within collagen fibers (experimental group: MSHA/Col; control group: HA/Col). The morphological characteristics of MSHA/Col were observed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Its crystal structure and chemical composition were analyzed by X-ray diffraction and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, respectively. The mineral phase content was evaluated by thermogravimetric analysis. The scaffold's porosity, ion release, and in vitro degradation performance were also determined. For cytological experiments, CCK-8 assay, live/dead cell staining, alkaline phosphatase staining, alizarin red S staining, RT-qPCR, and western blotting were used to evaluate the effects of the MSHA/Col scaffold on the proliferation, viability, early osteogenic differentiation activity, late mineralization capacity, and gene and protein expression levels of key osteogenic markers [runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2), collagen type Ⅰ (Col-Ⅰ), osteopontin (Opn), and osteocalcin (Ocn)] in mouse embryonic osteoblast precursor cells (MC3T3-E1). Results: HPAA/ACMSP appeared as amorphous spherical nanoparticles under TEM, with energy spectrum analysis showing uniform distribution of carbon, oxygen, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, and strontium elements. SEM results of MSHA/Col indicated successful complete intrafibrillar mineralization. Elemental analysis showed the mass fractions of magnesium and strontium were 0.72% (matching the magnesium content in natural bone) and 2.89%, respectively. X-ray diffraction revealed characteristic peaks of hydroxyapatite crystals (25.86°, 31°-34°). Infrared spectroscopy results showed characteristic absorption peaks for both collagen and hydroxyapatite. Thermogravimetric analysis indicated a mineral phase content of 78.29% in the material. The scaffold porosity was 91.6% ± 1.1%, close to the level of natural bone tissue. Ion release curves demonstrated sustained release behavior for both magnesium and strontium ions. The in vitro degradation rate matched the ingrowth rate of new bone tissue. Cytological experiments showed that MSHA/Col significantly promoted MC3T3-E1 cell proliferation (130% increase in activity at 72 h, P < 0.001). MSHA/Col exhibited excellent efficacy in promoting osteogenic differentiation, significantly upregulating the expression of osteogenesis-related genes and proteins (Runx2, Col-Ⅰ, Opn, Ocn) (P < 0.01). Conclusion The MSHA/Col scaffold achieves dual biomimicry of natural bone in both composition and structure, and effectively promotes osteogenic differentiation at the genetic and protein levels, breaking through the functional limitations of pure hydroxyapatite mineralized collagen. This provides a new strategy for the development of functional bone repair materials

Breast cancer has become the malignant tumor with the highest incidence rate among women， seriously threatening the life and health of women all over the world. The pathogenic factors and development mechanisms of breast cancer are complex and diverse. The development of breast cells from ordinary hyperplasia to atypical hyperplasia， and from pre-cancerous lesions to cancerous lesions， is a long-term progressive process. Therefore， early screening and prevention of breast cancer is particularly important. Western medicine has a relatively mature treatment program for breast cancer， which is mainly based on surgery and systemic treatment， whereas the ensuing complications and adverse reactions often bring a heavy burden to patients. For the precancerous lesions of breast cancer， surgery is also the mainstay of treatment. In recent years， traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） has increasingly highlighted its advantages in the prevention and treatment of breast cancer. Increasing studies have shown that in the prevention and treatment of breast cancer and pre-cancerous lesions， TCM compound prescriptions， single herbs or herb pairs， and active components are able to regulate a variety of intracellular signaling pathways through multi-targets to inhibit the proliferation and invasion， promote the apoptosis and autophagy of tumor cells， and regulate the cell cycle and the immune microenvironment， thus exerting anti-tumor effects. At the same time， they can significantly attenuate the toxic side effects of radiotherapy and drug resistance of patients. However， the specific mechanisms of TCM in the prevention and treatment of breast cancer and precancerous lesions have not been fully clarified. The available studies are tanglesome regarding the TCM inhibition of tumor development through the regulation of classical signaling pathways such as phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase （PI3K）/protein kinase B （Akt）/mammalian target of rapamycin （mTOR）， Wnt/β-catenin， and Notch， which still need to be verified by a large number of clinical and experimental studies. Therefore， this paper reviews the research progress in the prevention and treatment of breast cancer and precancerous lesions by TCM through interfering with the relevant signaling pathways in recent years， aiming to summarize the possible mechanisms of TCM in the prevention and treatment of breast cancer and provide references for subsequent studies.

Objective To study the pharmacokinetics of dihydralazine sulfate,triamterene,hydrochlorothiazide and reserpine in compound reserpine and triamterene in rats.Methods SD rats were randomly divided into three groups.Compound reserpine and triamterene was given at dose of 3.6,10.8 and 32.4 mg·kg-1 by single oral gavage,respectively.HPLC-MS was used to measure the blood concentrations of dihydralazine sulfate,triamterene,hydrochlorothiazide,and reserpine at various time points.DAS software was used to compute the pharmacokinetic parameters.Results After a single oral gavage of 3.6,10.8 and 32.4 mg·kg-1 of compound reserpine tablets triamterene,the tmax of dihydralazine sulfate in rat plasma were 1.50,1.33,and 1.42 h,and the Cmax of dihydralazine sulfate were 12.30,38.31 and 120.52 μg·L-1,respectively.The tmax of triamterene were 1.33,1.33,and 1.42 h,and the Cmax of triamterene were 20.93,67.36,and 168.64 μg·L-1,respectively.The tmax of hydrochlorothiazide were 2.00,2.00,and 1.75 h,and the Cmax of hydrochlorothiazide were 19.89,57.58,and 160.78 μg·L-1,respectively.Risperdal was found at very low levels in rat plasma,and only trace amounts were detected at 1.00 and 1.50 h of 32.4 mg·kg-1 administration.Conclusions Dihydralazine sulfate,triamterene,and hydrochlorothiazide can be eliminated quickly after compound reserpine and triamterene was given orally to rats,and their oral absorption is basically linear.The greater the dosage,the better the absorption of effective components.

BACKGROUND:Bile acid metabolism plays a crucial role in the development and progression of Crohn's disease.There is no research on changes in bile acid metabolism and key target genes following treatment with biological agents.OBJECTIVE:To investigate the expression characteristics of bile acid metabolism-related genes in patients with Crohn's disease,identify key genes associated with response to biological agents.METHODS:Transcriptome data were obtained through the GEO database to analyze differentially expressed genes between inflammation-control groups and inflammation-treatment groups.GO,KEGG,and GSEA enrichment analyses were used to evaluate the effects of biological agent therapy on bile acid metabolism.Protein-protein interaction network and WGCNA algorithm were employed to analyze differentially expressed genes,identifying modules closely related to biological agent treatment response,which led to the determination of UGT2A3 as a key gene in bile acid metabolism.In the inflammation group of the GSE186582 dataset,samples were divided into high and low expression groups based on UGT2A3 levels to study its relationship with immune infiltration and explore the interaction between UGT2A3 and the immune microenvironment.Clinical characteristics and intestinal manifestations were compared between high and low expression groups,and correlations between UGT2A3 and clinical indicators(C-reactive protein,erythrocyte sedimentation rate,Crohn's disease activity index,and Crohn's disease endoscopic activity score)were investigated.The competing endogenous RNA regulatory network of UGT2A3 was constructed,and its upstream miRNA was functionally enriched to explore the molecular mechanism of UGT2A3 in bile acid metabolism.Single-cell analysis and clustering were performed using high-throughput sequencing data of GSE134809 to observe the expression of UGT2A3 in different samples and cell populations.Colon tissue samples from untreated and biologic-treated Crohn's disease patients and healthy colon tissue samples from patients with intestinal polyps were collected,and UGT2A3 expression was detected by immunohistochemistry,qRT-PCR,and western blot assay.Fresh feces from Crohn's disease patients and healthy controls were collected to detect bile acid levels,and the relationship between UGT2A3 and fecal bile acid levels was analyzed.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:A total of 11 bile acid metabolism-related genes were screened,showing significant changes in gene expression after biological agent therapy.GO and KEGG enrichment analyses revealed that intestinal nutrient absorption and metabolic processes normalized after treatment,while leukocyte chemotaxis and inflammatory response pathway activity decreased.GSEA analysis revealed significant enrichment of bile acid metabolism-related pathways after treatment.Protein-protein interaction network construction and WGCNA analysis identified UGT2A3 as a key gene closely associated with treatment response.UGT2A3 expression was significantly decreased in inflamed tissues of Crohn's disease patients and returned to normal levels after biological agent therapy.This result was confirmed in clinical specimens.UGT2A3 expression levels showed significant negative correlations with C-reactive protein,erythrocyte sedimentation rate,Crohn's Disease Activity Index,and Crohn's Disease Endoscopic Index of Severity.Receiver Operating Characteristic curve analysis demonstrated that UGT2A3 has good diagnostic value(Area Under Curve AUC=0.801 0)and effectively reflects treatment outcomes.Immune infiltration analysis showed significantly increased infiltration of various immune cells in samples with low UGT2A3 expression,and its expression levels negatively correlated with immune scores,microenvironment scores,and stromal scores.Compared with the low UGT2A3 expression group,patients with high expression showed less fecal occult blood and penetrating inflammation,with milder intestinal strictures and general condition severity.Fecal bile acid analysis revealed that UGT2A3 expression strongly negatively correlated with primary bile acid content and strongly positively correlated with secondary bile acid content.

Environmental pollutants generated by industrialization,characterized by microplastics,are increasingly impairing male fertility in the form of"environmental hidden toxins".Although the concept of environmental toxicity has been proposed for a long time,its practical application remains limited.Therefore,this study innovatively introduces and elaborates on the concept of"environmental hidden toxins",highlighting its pathogenic characteristics,including latency,turbidity,consumptive nature,concurrent nature,and transmutation.Environmental hidden toxin can be classified into five categories based on the properties:stagnation toxins,scorching toxins,turbid toxins,desiccating toxins,and latent toxins.The core pathogenesis of environmental hidden toxins-induced male infertility involves three stages:firstly,invading the lungs and spleen,leading to the gradual depletion of healthy qi;secondly,forming toxin-stasis complexes that obstruct the spermatic pathway;and lastly,penetrating deeply into the seminal chamber,directly damaging the genuine essence.The treatment principle emphasizes"strengthening the foundation and clearing the source,"advocating dual strategies of detoxification and strengthening vital qi.This includes enhancing clarity and lowering turbidity,fortifying the earth to generate metal to replenish healthy qi;resolving stasis,unblocking collaterals,and dispelling toxins to eliminate pathogenic factors;and nourishing the kidneys,replenishing essence,and expelling toxins to preserve the genuine essence.All the above approaches form a holistic traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)strategy that treating both manifestation and root cause of disease.The study provides theoretical foundations and offers novel clinical insights into TCM interventions for male infertility caused by environmental pollutants.

Objective:To investigate the effect of ligation methods of inferior mesenteric artery (IMA) on preserving left colic artery (LCA) in laparoscopic radical resection of rectal cancer.Methods:The prospective randomized controlled study was conducted. The clinical data of 864 patients who underwent laparoscopic radical resection of rectal cancer at Renji Hospital of Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine from January 2020 to December 2024 were selected. Patients were randomly divided into the low ligation group and high ligation group using a random number table. Patients of the low ligation group underwent laparoscopic radical resection of rectal cancer with preserving LCA by low ligation of IMA and apical lymph node dissection, and patients of the high ligation group underwent laparoscopic radical resection of rectal cancer with traditional high ligation of IMA. Observation indicators: (1) grouping of the enrolled patients; (2) intraoperative conditions; (3) postoperative pathological examination; (4) postoperative recovery. Comparison of measurement data with normal distribution between groups was conducted using the independent sample t test. Comparison of count data between groups was conducted using the chi-square test or Fisher exact probability. Comparison of ordinal data between groups was conducted using the non-parametric test. Results:(1) Grouping of the enrolled patients. A total of 864 patients with rectal cancer who underwent laparoscopic radical resection of rectal cancer were screened for eligibility, including 410 males and 454 females, aged (63±11)years. All 864 patients were randomly divided into the low ligation group and high ligation group, with 432 patients in each group. There was no significant difference in gender, age, body mass index, carcinoembryonic antigen, distance from tumor to anal margin, diabetes, hypertension, neoadjuvant radiochemotherapy, IMA subtypes and IMA length between the two groups ( P>0.05), ensuring comparability. (2) Intraoperative conditions. All patients of the two groups successfully completed surgery, with no errors in blood vessel ligation during operation or conversion to open surgery. There was a significant difference in time of IMA dissection between the low ligation group and high ligation group [(31±11)minutes vs. (28±9)minutes, t=4.39, P<0.05], and there was no significant difference in total operation time, volume of intra-operative blood loss or prophylactic stoma rate between the two groups ( P>0.05). (3) Postopera-tive pathological examination. There was a significant difference in the number of lymph node dissected between the low ligation group and high ligation group (1.8±1.4 vs. 1.5±1.4, t=2.51, P<0.05), and there was no significant difference in tumor diameter, the total number of lymph node dissected, total lymph node positive status, No.253 lymph node positive status, TNM staging between the two groups ( P>0.05). (4) Postoperative recovery. The time to postoperative first flatus and the number of anastomotic leakage of patients in the low ligation group were (74±22)hours and 16 cases, versus (78±20)hours and 31 cases in the high ligation group, respectively, showing significant differences in the above indicators between the two groups ( t=2.52, χ2=5.06, P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the time to postoperative initial liquid food intake, duration of post-operative hospital stay, duration of abdominal drainage tube indwelling, duration of anal tube indwelling, postoperative wound infection, pulmonary infection, intestinal obstruction, or urinary dysfunction between the two groups ( P>0.05). None of patients in the two groups had readmission or death during the postoperative 30 days. Conclusion:Low ligation of IMA in laparoscopic radical resection of rectal cancer can guide precise LCA preservation, which is beneficial for accelerating the recovery of intestinal function and reducing the incidence of anastomotic leakage.

Objective:To explore the impact of adverse childhood experiences on psychosomatic symptoms and job burnout in the nursing population.Methods:Utilizing a multistage stratified cluster random sampling meth-od,1 661 nurses were selected.Through a 1∶2 propensity score matching approach,demographic and work-related characteristics were balanced between the positive and negative groups of adverse childhood experiences.Finally,880 cases were successfully matched(positive group:300 cases,negative group:580 cases).Linear regression was employed to explore the relationship between nurses'adverse childhood experiences and psychosomatic symptoms(anxiety,depression,physical symptoms),as well as job burnout.The average treatment effect among the treated(ATT)was calculated.Results:Linear regression results revealed a significant positive association between adverse childhood experiences and scores for anxiety symptoms,depression symptoms,physical symptoms,and job burnout(B=1.68,2.67,2.89,5.90;ATT=1.64,2.58,2.82,5.96,Ps＜0.001).However,there was no statistically signif-icant association with scores for a sense of inadequacy in individual achievements(P＞0.05).Conclusion:Nurses who have experienced childhood adverse experiences may exhibit more severe psychosomatic symptoms and job burnout compared to those who have not experienced such adversities during childhood.
