Objective To establish an in vitro enzymatic activity evaluation system for OTULIN （OTU domain DUB with linear linkage specificity）and provide an experimental basis for OTULIN inhibitor screening. Methods The linear ubiquitin substrate protein His-Ub-Ub-Flag was designed, expressed, and purified. Using OTULIN^80-352 as the target enzyme and PR619 as a positive control, the enzyme-to-substrate ratio and reaction time were optimized to establish an in vitro OTULIN activity evaluation system. Results The linear ubiquitin substrate protein His-Ub-Ub-Flag was successfully obtained. OTULIN activity was significantly inhibited by PR619, which confirmed the feasibility of the assay. The optimal enzyme-to-substrate ratio of OTULIN^80-352 to His-Ub-Ub-Flag was 1∶16, and the optimal reaction condition was incubation at 37℃ for 20 min. Conclusion An in vitro enzymatic activity evaluation system for OTULIN was successfully established, which could be used to evaluate the inhibitory effects of candidate compounds on OTULIN activity and provide technical support for subsequent screening of OTULIN small-molecule inhibitors.

In this study, araucarene diterpenes, characterized by a pimarene skeleton with a variably oxidized side chain at C-13, were investigated. A total of 16 araucarene diterpenoids and their derivatives were isolated from the woods of Agathis dammara, including 11 previously unreported compounds: dammaradione (1), dammarones D-G (2, 5, 14, 15), dammaric acids B-F (8-12), and dammarol (16). The structures of these new compounds were elucidated using high-resolution electrospray ionization mass spectroscopy (HR-ESI-MS) and one-dimensional/two-dimensional (1D/2D) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), while their absolute configurations were determined through the electronic circular dichroism (ECD) exciton chirality method and Snatzke's method. The hypoglycemic activity of all isolated compounds was evaluated using a transgenic zebrafish model, and a structure-activity relationship (SAR) analysis was conducted. Araucarone (3) and dammaric acid C (9), serving as representative compounds, demonstrated significant hypoglycemic effects on zebrafish. The primary mechanism involves the promotion of pancreatic β cell regeneration and glucose uptake. Specifically, these compounds enhance the differentiation of pancreatic endocrine precursor cells (PEP cells) into β cells in zebrafish.

Postoperative infection of internal fixation of closed fractures the lower limbs in adults represents a devastating complication, characterized by diagnostic challenges, prolonged treatment duration and high disability rates. Current management of these infections faces multiple challenges, such as difficulties in early accurate diagnosis, and various controversies about the treatment plan, leading to poor overall diagnosis and treatment results. To address these issues, based on evidence-based medicine and principles with emphasis on scientific rigor, clinical applicability and innovation, the Trauma Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, Orthopedic Branch of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Orthopedics Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, and Trauma Orthopedics and Polytrauma Group of the Resuscitation and Emergency Committee of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association have collaboratively organized a panel of relevant experts to develop the Guideline for diagnosis and treatment of infection after internal fixation of closed lower limb fractures in adults ( version 2025). The guideline proposed 10 recommendations, aiming to provide a foundation for standardized diagnosis and treatment of postoperative infection in adults with closed lower limb fractures.

Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a neurological disorder that occurs after a direct or indirect violent injury to the spinal cord, often resulting in sensory and motor dysfunction below the injury level. Patients with SCI are often paralyzed in bed due to impaired nerve function and there has been no effective treatment for limb paralysis after SCI. As a cutting-edge technology with a multidisciplinary integration of neuroscience, computer science, biological engineering, electronic engineering and psychology, brain-computer interface (BCI) provides a new program for the rehabilitation of SCI patients by changing the traditional brain signal output pathways and realizing the direct connection between the brain and external devices. In order to further understand the application of BCI in SCI rehabilitation, the authors reviewed the classification, basic principles of BCI and the research progress of the application of BCI in SCI rehabilitation, which may provide references for the clinical transformation of BCI.

OBJECTIVE To compare the contents of schizandrin A, schizandrin B, schizandrin C, schisandrol A, schisandrol B, schisantherin A, anwuligan, and schisanhenol in Schisandrae Sphenantherae Fructus on market from 12 habitats. METHODS The samples were pre-treated by 96-well fitration plates. The assay was performed on ACE EXCEL 1.7 C18-AMIDE(100 mm×2.1 mm, 1.7 μm) column with 0.1% formic acid-water(A) and methanol(B), gradient elution, flow speed was 0.4 mL·min–1. Ion source was electric spray ion source, positive ion monitoring mode, multireaction monitoring mode for quantitative analysis. Linear, instrument precision, stability, repeatability, average recovery were investigated. RESULTS The content of schisantherin A in 10 of 12 producing areas reached the standard of ≥0.2% of Schisandrae Sphenantherae Fructus in 2020 Edition of Chinese Pharmacopoeia. CONCLUSION UHPLC-MS/MS is suitable for simultaneous determination of multiple components in Schisandrae Sphenantherae Fructus. The Schisandrae Sphenantherae Fructus in the market basically meet the national legal standards.
