Objective: To investigate the role of STAT3 phosphorylation in ferroptosis regulation and its impact on cisplatin resistance mechanisms in human osteosarcoma cells． Methods: Human osteosarcoma HOS cells and cispl- atin-resistant HOS / DDP cells were treated with cisplatin ( 0. 5，1，2，4，8，16，32 mg / L) ，the ferroptosis inducer Erastin ( Era) ( 2 μmol / L) ，and / or the ferroptosis inhibitor Ferrostatin-1 ( Fer1) ( 10 μmol / L) ．Cell viability and proliferation were assessed using the Cell Counting Kit-8 ( CCK-8) and colony formation assays，and cell migration was evaluated via a scratch assay．Reactive oxygen species ( ROS) ，intracellular ferrous iron levels，mitochondrial membrane potential，mitochondrial function，malondialdehyde ( MDA) levels，and the reduced glutathione / oxi- dized glutathione ( GSH / GSSG) ratio were measured using commercial kits．The mRNA expression of ferroptosis- related genes was analyzed by quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction ( RT-qPCR) ．The protein levels of glutathione peroxidase 4 ( GPX4) ，solute carrier family 7 member 11 ( SLC7A11) ，phosphorylated STAT3 ( p-STAT3) ，and total STAT3 were determined by Western blot． Results: With cisplatin treatment，HOS cells ex- hibited decreased cell viability，mitochondrial membrane potential，and GSH / GSSG ratio ( P＜0. 01) ，along with elevated levels of ROS，ferrous ion，and MDA content ( P ＜0. 01) ． The protein levels of GPX4 ( P ＜0. 01) ， SLC7A11，and p-STAT3 also decreased ( P ＜0. 05) ．Coadministration with the ferroptosis inhibitor Ferrostatin-1 ( Fer-1) reversed these aforementioned effects ( P ＜0. 05) ．In HOS / DDP cells，the mRNA levels of ferroptosis- suppressive genes ( GPX4，FTH1，SLC7A11，and AIFM2) were significantly higher than those in HOS cells ( P < 0. 05) ，whereas the expression of ferroptosis-promoting genes ( ACSL4 and PTGS2) was significantly lower ( P < 0. 05) ．The cisplatin-induced reductions in cell viability and mitochondrial membrane potential，as well as the in- creases in ROS，ferrous ion，and MDA levels，were less pronounced in HOS / DDP cells than in HOS cells．The SLC7A11 protein level showed no significant change． However，combined treatment with the ferroptosis inducer Erastin ( Era) resulted in significant decreases in viability，mitochondrial membrane potential，and the GSH / GSSG ratio in HOS / DDP cells ( P＜0. 05) ．Furthermore，the protein levels of p-STAT3，GPX4，and SLC7A11 were also markedly reduced ( P＜0. 05) ． Conclusion The activation of ferroptosis mediated by p-STAT3 enhances cisplatin sensitivity in HOS / DDP cells．

The prefrontal cortex (PFC) plays a pivotal role in orchestrating higher-order emotional and cognitive processes, a function that depends on the precise modulation of synaptic activity. Although pharmacological studies have demonstrated that dopamine signaling through dopamine D1 receptor (DRD1) in the PFC is essential for these functions, the cell-type-specific and molecular mechanisms underlying the neuromodulatory effects remain elusive. Using cell-type-specific knockout mice and patch-clamp recordings, we investigated the regulatory role of DRD1 on neurons and astrocytes in synaptic transmission and plasticity. Furthermore, we explored the mechanisms by which DRD1 on astrocytes regulate synaptic transmission and plasticity at the cellular level, as well as emotional and cognitive functions at the behavioral level, through two-photon imaging, microdialysis, high-performance liquid chromatography, transcriptome sequencing, and behavioral testing. We found that conditional knockout of the Drd1 in astrocytes (CKO^AST) increased glutamatergic synaptic transmission and long-term potentiation (LTP) in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC), whereas Drd1 deletion in pyramidal neurons did not affect synaptic transmission. The elevated level of d-serine in the mPFC of CKO^AST mice increased glutamatergic transmission and LTP through NMDA receptors. In addition, CKO^AST mice exhibited abnormal emotional and cognitive function. Notably, these behavioral changes in CKO^AST mice could be reversed through the administration of d-serine degrease to the mPFC. These results highlight the critical role of the astrocytic DRD1 in modulating mPFC synaptic transmission and plasticity, as well as higher brain functions through d-serine, and may shed light on the treatment of mental disorders.

In recent years, the prevalence of obstructive coronary artery disease has continued to rise. Despite the widespread application of strategies such as intensive pharmacotherapy, coronary artery bypass grafting, or percutaneous coronary intervention, a subset of patients still experience recurrent angina symptoms, which severely impacts their quality of life. For such cases of refractory angina (RA), researchers domestically and internationally have explored therapeutic approaches such as spinal cord stimulation, transmyocardial laser revascularization, and sympathectomy. However, existing studies are largely limited to small-scale clinical trials, and their clinical translation still faces challenges due to insufficient validation of safety and efficacy. Injectable hydrogels, as functional materials with hydrophilic three-dimensional network structures, demonstrate unique advantages in the treatment of RA. They can not only provide mechanical support but also serve as controlled-release carriers for drugs and proteins, and synergize with gene therapy and stem cell therapy to promotemyocardial tissue repair. This article systematically reviews the application prospects of injectable hydrogels in the treatment of RA, aiming to provide insights for future therapeutic strategies.

Objectives:To investigate the factors affecting the formation of coronary collateral circulation(CCC)in patients with chronic total occlusion(CTO)lesion of coronary artery.Methods:A total of 305 consecutive patients who were hospitalized in the department of cardiology of the First Hospital of Lanzhou University from December 2022 to December 2023 and CTO lesions were confirmed by coronary angiography in at least one major coronary artery were included.The clinical data were collected,and the patients were divided into poor CCC group(Rentrop grade 0-1,n=109)and good CCC group(Rentrop grade 2-3,n=196)according to Rentrop criteria.Univariate logistic regression and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to investigate the risk factors of poor CCC formation in CTO lesion patients.Results:There were 109 patients with poor CCC formation and 196 patients with good CCC formation in this cohort.The levels of white blood cell count,neutrophil count,platelet count,platelet to lymphocyte ratio,neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio,systemic immunoinflammatory index(SII),lipoprotein a and fibringen(Fib)were significantly higher,lymphocyte count and mean platelet volume were significantly lower in patients with poor CCC formation than in patients with good CCC formation(all P<0.05).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that higher SII(OR=1.004,95%CI:1.003-1.006,P<0.001),Fib(OR=1.546,95%CI:1.038-2.301,P=0.032)levels were independent predictors of poor CCC formation in CTO lesion patients.Conclusions:Higher levels of SII and Fib are independently correlated with poor CCC formation,which may be used as clinical predictor of poor CCC formation in CTO lesion patients.

Objective To explore the construction and practice of an intelligent prevention and treatment system for venous thromboembolism (VTE) in grassroots hospitals. Methods Based on relevant guidelines and expert consensuses on VTE prevention and treatment, domestic and foreign literature was reviewed. A research and development team composed of clinical experts in VTE prevention and treatment, medical and nursing quality management experts, and information engineers conducted investigations and research in surrounding grassroots hospitals. Through evidence-based research and surveys, the team identified relevant business needs, user needs, and functional requirements of grassroots hospitals, and finally formulated a detailed design plan. The main program of system was written in Java. The interface obtained data from the hospital's data platform through Webservice and view interfaces. To prevent issues of repeated data extraction when multiple applications perform time tasks to assess the same patient during later server usage and expansion, the XXL-JOB distributed task scheduling platform was adopted to handle VTE assessments by medical staff. Results After the clinical application of the intelligent VTE prevention and treatment system, the bleeding risk assessment rate increased from 26.20% at the initial system launch in January 2023 to 83.04% by the end of 2023. In January 2023, the implementation rates of mechanical prevention, pharmacological prevention, and combined prevention for medium-to-high-risk VTE patients were 21.39%, 16.39%, and 5.26%, respectively, which increased to 51.75%, 25.50%, and 25.65% in December 2023. Conclusion The VTE prevention and treatment software system developed by grassroots hospitals can improve development efficiency, enhance the clinical practicality of the system, reduce the workload of medical staff, promote standardization and normalization in VTE prevention and treatment, strengthen closed-loop management of medical quality for VTE as a single disease, and effectively improve the prevention and treatment capabilities and levels of VTE within hospitals.
