Renal ischemia-reperfusion injury (RIRI) is a major cause of acute kidney injury during kidney transplantation and peri-operative settings, and there is still a lack of safe and effective targeted preventive and therapeutic drugs in clinical practice. Specifically, xanthohumol, luteolin, dracorhodin C, naringin, senkyunolide Ⅰ, verbascoside, and shikonin enhance antioxidant defenses, and inhibit lipid peroxidation and ferroptosis via the nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor 2/heme oxygenase-1 pathway. Apigenin, nobiletin, tanshinone Ⅱ A , and salidroside activate the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B pathway to inhibit mitochondria- dependent apoptosis and facilitate renal repair. Quercetin, methyleugenol, cyanidin-3-glucoside, and platycodin D promote autophagy and improve mitochondrial homeostasis through the adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase(AMPK)/mTOR or AMPK/phosphatase and tensin homolog-induced kinase 1/Parkin pathways. In addition, hesperidin, curcumin, ganoderic acid, pulsatilla saponin B4, capsaicin, and diosgenin mitigate inflammatory responses and decrease renal tubular injury markers by inhibiting the Toll-like receptor 4/nuclear factor κB, high mobility group box 1, Janus kinase/signal transducer and activator of transcription pathways, thereby exerting multi-target, multi-stage renoprotective effects.

Objective:To investigate the biomechanical correlation between ankle instability and osteochondral lesions of the talus (OLT) under loading conditionsMethods:A healthy 29-year-old male volunteer was selected for the study. A 64-slice spiral CT scan of the right lower limb was performed to construct a detailed finite element model of the ankle joint, including ligaments and cartilage. Three injury models were created: models of distal tibiofibular syndesmosis injury, lateral collateral ligament injury, and a combined injury of the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis and lateral collateral ligament. Differences in stress distribution on the tibiotalar joint surface, talus stress, and talus displacement were analyzed through anterior drawer test, inversion stress test, and external rotation stress test.Results:In the anterior drawer test, as the forward traction force increased (40, 60, 80, 100, 120, 140, and 150 N), all the injury models showed a progressive increase in tibiotalar joint surface stress, talus stress, and talus displacement. The combined injury model showed the highest tibiotalar joint surface stress (32.6 MPa), while the lateral collateral ligament injury model demonstrated the highest talus stress (56.5 MPa). Talus displacement increased significantly with traction, reaching the maximum (4.88 mm) in the combined injury model under 150 N. In the inversion stress test, stress on the tibiotalar joint surface in the lateral collateral ligament injury model was concentrated on the posterior-lateral and posterior-medial regions, whereas in the combined injury model, stress on the tibiotalar joint surface was predominantly concentrated in the posterior-medial region. Talus stress was localized to the talus neck and body in all the models, with the combined injury model showing the largest talus displacement (8.46 mm). In the external rotation stress test, stress on the tibiotalar joint surface was mainly distributed in the posterior-medial, posterior-lateral, and anterior-lateral regions in all the models. Talus stress was concentrated at the talus neck and body. The combined injury model exhibited the greatest talus displacement (12.50 mm).Conclusion:Ankle instability, particularly from combined injuries of the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis and lateral collateral ligament, significantly increases the stress concentration and talus displacement under loading conditions, thus elevating the risk of OLT.

Seven novel acylphloroglucinol-sesquiterpenoid adducts, designated as dryatraols J-P (1-7), were isolated from the rhizomes of Dryopteris atrata (Wall. ex Kunze) Ching. The structures, including absolute configurations, were elucidated using comprehensive spectroscopic data, calculated 13C Nuclear Magnetic Resonance-Diastereotopic Probability Assignment Plus (13C NMR-DP4+) probability analysis, and ECD calculations. These structures represent a rare subclass of carbon skeleton of acylphloroglucinol-sesquiterpenoid adducts with a furan ring connecting the acylphloroglucinol and sesquiterpenoid moieties. Notably, compounds 1-6 are the first reported examples of acylphloroglucinol-sesquiterpenoid adducts with dimeric acylphloroglucinol incorporated into the aristolane- or rulepidanol-type sesquiterpene, while compound 7 features a hydroxylated monomeric acylphloroglucinol motif. A preliminary evaluation of their antiviral activities revealed that compounds 1-6 exhibited more potent activities against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) with IC50 values ranging from 0.75 to 3.12 μmol·L-1 compared to the positive control (ribavirin).

Objective:To investigate the predictive value of preoperative aspartate aminotransferase to alanine aminotransferase ratio (AAR) for early recurrence after radical resection of single small hepatocellular carcinoma.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 137 patients who underwent radical resection of liver cancer at the General Hospital of Ningxia Medical University from January 2017 to July 2021. These patients were categorized into a recurrence group ( n = 72) and a non-recurrence group ( n = 65) based on early postoperative recurrence. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were conducted in the training cohort to identify independent risk factors for early recurrence of small hepatocellular carcinomas. Subsequently, the AARs were grouped, and patients with similar propensity scores estimated by the logistic model were matched 1:1 using the Propensity Score Match method with a caliper value of 0.02 to eliminate confounders. Logistic regression analysis was then repeated to assess the predictive value of the matched AAR for postoperative recurrence in patients with single small hepatocellular carcinoma. Results:Univariate analysis revealed that age ( χ2 = 4.22, P = 0.040), the ratio of fibrinogen to albumin ( χ2 = 8.26, P = 0.004), and the AAR ( χ2 = 5.83, P = 0.016) were significantly associated with early recurrence of small liver cancer after radical resection. Multivariate logistic regression analysis further identified age ( P = 0.042), the ratio of fibrinogen to albumin ( P = 0.024), and the AAR ( P = 0.018) as independent risk factors for early recurrence of single small hepatocellular carcinoma following radical surgery. After excluding confounding factors using the Propensity Score Match method, 25 patient pairs were successfully matched. Post-matching logistic regression analysis revealed that an AAR > 0.74 ( P = 0.005) and age > 60 years ( P = 0.024) were independent risk factors for early recurrence in patients with single small hepatocellular carcinoma following radical resection. Conclusion:Preoperative AAR is an independent risk factor for early recurrence in patients with single small hepatocellular carcinoma following surgery, demonstrating excellent predictive value.
