Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a central neurodegenerative disease characterized by progressive cognitive decline and memory impairment in clinical. Currently, there are no effective treatments for AD. In recent years, a variety of therapeutic approaches from different perspectives have been explored to treat AD. Although the drug therapies targeted at the clearance of amyloid β-protein (Aβ) had made a breakthrough in clinical trials, there were associated with adverse events. Neuroinflammation plays a crucial role in the onset and progression of AD. Continuous neuroinflammatory was considered to be the third major pathological feature of AD, which could promote the formation of extracellular amyloid plaques and intracellular neurofibrillary tangles. At the same time, these toxic substances could accelerate the development of neuroinflammation, form a vicious cycle, and exacerbate disease progression. Reducing neuroinflammation could break the feedback loop pattern between neuroinflammation, Aβ plaque deposition and Tau tangles, which might be an effective therapeutic strategy for treating AD. Traditional Chinese herbs such as Polygonum multiflorum and Curcuma were utilized in the treatment of AD due to their ability to mitigate neuroinflammation. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen and indomethacin had been shown to reduce the level of inflammasomes in the body, and taking these drugs was associated with a low incidence of AD. Biosynthetic nanomaterials loaded with oxytocin were demonstrated to have the capability to anti-inflammatory and penetrate the blood-brain barrier effectively, and they played an anti-inflammatory role via sustained-releasing oxytocin in the brain. Transplantation of mesenchymal stem cells could reduce neuroinflammation and inhibit the activation of microglia. The secretion of mesenchymal stem cells could not only improve neuroinflammation, but also exert a multi-target comprehensive therapeutic effect, making it potentially more suitable for the treatment of AD. Enhancing the level of TREM2 in microglial cells using gene editing technologies, or application of TREM2 antibodies such as Ab-T1, hT2AB could improve microglial cell function and reduce the level of neuroinflammation, which might be a potential treatment for AD. Probiotic therapy, fecal flora transplantation, antibiotic therapy, and dietary intervention could reshape the composition of the gut microbiota and alleviate neuroinflammation through the gut-brain axis. However, the drugs of sodium oligomannose remain controversial. Both exercise intervention and electromagnetic intervention had the potential to attenuate neuroinflammation, thereby delaying AD process. This article focuses on the role of drug therapy, gene therapy, stem cell therapy, gut microbiota therapy, exercise intervention, and brain stimulation in improving neuroinflammation in recent years, aiming to provide a novel insight for the treatment of AD by intervening neuroinflammation in the future.

Brain’s neural activities encompass both periodic rhythmic oscillations and aperiodic neural fluctuations. Rhythmic oscillations manifest as spectral peaks of neural signals, directly reflecting the synchronized activities of neural populations and closely tied to cognitive and behavioral states. In contrast, aperiodic fluctuations exhibit a power-law decaying spectral trend, revealing the multiscale dynamics of brain neural activity. In recent years, researchers have made notable progress in studying brain aperiodic dynamics. These studies demonstrate that aperiodic activity holds significant physiological relevance, correlating with various physiological states such as external stimuli, drug induction, sleep states, and aging. Aperiodic activity serves as a reflection of the brain’s sensory capacity, consciousness level, and cognitive ability. In clinical research, the aperiodic exponent has emerged as a significant potential biomarker, capable of reflecting the progression and trends of brain diseases while being intricately intertwined with the excitation-inhibition balance of neural system. The physiological mechanisms underlying aperiodic dynamics span multiple neural scales, with activities at the levels of individual neurons, neuronal ensembles, and neural networks collectively influencing the frequency, oscillatory patterns, and spatiotemporal characteristics of aperiodic signals. Aperiodic dynamics currently boasts broad application prospects. It not only provides a novel perspective for investigating brain neural dynamics but also holds immense potential as a neural marker in neuromodulation or brain-computer interface technologies. This paper summarizes methods for extracting characteristic parameters of aperiodic activity, analyzes its physiological relevance and potential as a biomarker in brain diseases, summarizes its physiological mechanisms, and based on these findings, elaborates on the research prospects of aperiodic dynamics.

With the widespread use of antibiotics, drug-resistant bacterial infections have become a significant threat to human health. Finding new antibacterial strategies that can effectively control drug-resistant bacterial infections has become an urgent task. Unlike small molecule drugs that target bacterial proteins, antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) can target genes related to bacterial resistance, pathogenesis, growth, reproduction and biofilm formation. By regulating the expression of these genes, ASO can inhibit or kill bacteria, providing a novel approach for the development of antibacterial drugs. To overcome the challenge of delivering antisense oligonucleotide into bacterial cells, various drug delivery systems have been applied in this field, including cell-penetrating peptides, lipid nanoparticles and inorganic nanoparticles, which have injected new momentum into the development of antisense oligonucleotide in the antibacterial realm. This review summarizes the current development of small nucleic acid drugs, the antibacterial mechanisms, targets, sequences and delivery vectors of antisense oligonucleotide, providing a reference for the research and development of antisense oligonucleotide in the treatment of bacterial infections.

This paper aimed to systematically evaluate the effects of hypoxic training at different fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO₂) on body composition, glucose metabolism, and lipid metabolism in obese individuals, and to determine the optimal oxygen concentration range to provide scientific evidence for personalized and precise hypoxic exercise prescriptions. A systematic search was conducted in the Cochrane Library, PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and CNKI databases for randomized controlled trials and pre-post intervention studies published up to March 31, 2025, involving hypoxic training interventions in obese populations. Meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.4 software to assess the effects of different fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO₂≤14% vs. FiO₂>14%) on BMI, body fat percentage, waist circumference, fasting blood glucose, insulin, HOMA-IR, triglycerides (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), with subgroup analyses based on oxygen concentration. A total of 22 studies involving 292 participants were included. Meta-analysis showed that hypoxic training significantly reduced BMI (mean difference (MD)=-2.29,95%CI: -3.42 to -1.17, P<0.000 1), body fat percentage (MD=-2.32, 95%CI: -3.16 to -1.47, P<0.001), waist circumference (MD=-3.79, 95%CI: -6.73 to -0.85, P=0.01), fasting blood glucose (MD=-3.58, 95%CI: -6.23 to -0.93, P=0.008), insulin (MD=-1.60, 95%CI: -2.98 to -0.22, P=0.02), TG (MD=-0.18, 95%CI: -0.25 to -0.12, P<0.001), and LDL-C (MD=-0.25, 95%CI: -0.39 to -0.11, P=0.000 3). Greater improvements were observed under moderate hypoxic conditions with FiO₂>14%. Changes in HOMA-IR (MD=-0.74, 95%CI: -1.52 to 0.04,P=0.06) and HDL-C (MD=-0.09, 95%CI: -0.21 to 0.02, P=0.11) were not statistically significant. Hypoxic training can significantly improve body composition, glucose metabolism, and lipid metabolism indicators in obese individuals, with greater benefits observed under moderate hypoxia (FiO>14%). As a key parameter in hypoxic exercise interventions, the precise setting of oxygen concentration is crucial for optimizing intervention outcomes.

Aim To investigate the possible mecha-nism of UNC5B-AS1 in regulating the malignant biolog-ical behavior of osteosarcoma cells.Methods RT-qPCR was used to detect the expression of UNC5B-AS1 in osteosarcoma cells MG63,osteosarcoma cells U2OS and osteoblast cells hFOB1.19.After overexpression and knockdown of UNC5B-AS1 in osteosarcoma cells,the proliferation,migration and apoptosis of osteosarco-ma cells were detected by CCK-8 assay,Transwell as-say and flow cytometry,respectively.At the same time,RT-qPCR and Western blot were used to detect the effects of UNC5B-AS1 overexpression and knock-down on the mRNA and protein expression of key fac-tors in the NF-κB signaling pathway.Results Com-pared with normal osteoblast hFOB1.19,UNC5B-AS1 expression was differentially increased in osteosarcoma cells MG63 and U2OS.Overexpression of UNC5B-AS1 significantly promoted the proliferation of osteosarcoma cells and significantly increased the migration ability of osteosarcoma cells,while the apoptosis rate markedly decreased,and NF-κB signaling pathway-related mR-NA and protein expressions apparently increased.Knockdown of UNC5B-AS1 evidently inhibited the pro-liferation of osteosarcoma cells and significantly re-duced the migration ability of osteosarcoma cells,while the apoptosis rate markedly increased,the NF-κB sig-naling pathway related mRNA and protein expression significantly reduced.Conclusions lncRNA UNC5B-AS1 is highly expressed in osteosarcoma cells,which may affect the malignant biological behavior of osteo-sarcoma cells by activating the NF-κB signaling path-way.

Alzheimer's disease(AD)is a neurodegenerative disease with age-related cognitive decline.Sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor 2(S1PR2)is involved in a variety of cellular processes and has been shown to play an important role in nervous system development.This study aimed to investigate the effects and possible mechanism of S1PR2 on Aβ25-35 induced cell model damage of AD.In this study,SH-SY5Y cells were induced by Aβ25-35 to construct a cell damage model,and the expression of S1PR2 in cells was interfered by targeting sequence.The protein and gene expression levels of S1PR2 were detected by Western blot and RT-PCR.It was found that the expression of S1PR2 was significantly increased at mR-NA and protein levels in Aβ25-35-induced SH-SY5Y cell model(P＜0.01),and its expression was signifi-cantly decreased after S1PR2 intervention(P＜0.001).The cell proliferation activity was detected by CCK8,and apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry.The results showed that the proliferation activity of Aβ25-35 induced SH-SY5Y cells was significantly increased,and apoptosis was decreased after S1PR2 in-tervention(P＜0.01).The protein levels of APP,Tau,p-Tau,and PSD95 in cells were detected by Western blot to analyze the effect of S1PR2 on the pathology of AD.It was found that after S1PR2 inter-vention,the expressions of APP,Tau,and p-Tau in the AD cell model were significantly decreased(P＜0.001),and the expression of synaptic protein PSD95 was increased(P＜0.001),which could signifi-cantly improve the pathological damage in Aβ25-35-induced SH-SY5Y cell model.In addition,ATP pro-duction was detected by the kit,and ROS content and mitochondrial membrane potential were detected by flow cytometry to analyze the mitochondrial function.Results found that ATP production and mitochondri-al membrane potential was significantly decreased,whereas the ROS content was increased in Aβ25 35 in-duced SH-SY5Y cells(P＜0.001).Intervention with S1PR2 significantly increased ATP production and mitochondrial membrane potential,but decreased ROS content(P＜0.001).Finally,the protein levels of the AKT/mTOR pathway were detected by Western blot.The results showed that S1PR2 significantly in-hibited the activation of the AKT/mTOR pathway induced by Aβ25-35 in SH-SY5Y cells.In conclusion,S1PR2 may be involved in the pathogenesis of Aβ25-35-induced SH-SY5Y cells by promoting mitochondrial function through the AKT/mTOR pathway.

Objective:To explore the clinical characteristics and prognosis of patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma(DLBCL)of the breast.Methods:The clinical data of 28 DLBCL patients admitted to Shanxi Provincial Cancer Hospital from January 2013 to January 2023 were retrospectively analysed,including 13 cases of primary breast DLBCL(PB-DLBCL)and 15 cases of secondary breast DLBCL(SB-DLBCL),and the data of their clinical manifestations,laboratory tests,pathological examinations,treatment protocols,and follow-up were statistically analyzed.Results:There were significant differences in IPI score,LDH level and β2-microglobulin between PB-DLBCL and SB-DLBCL patients(P＜0.05).Among the 23 patients with breast DLBCL who received regular treatment,13 patients achieved complete remission(9 patients with PB-DLBCL and 4 patients with SB-DLBCL)after initial treatment.By the end of follow-up,11 patients relapsed or progressed(5 patients with PB-DLBCL and 6 patients with SB-DLBCL)and 9 patients died(3 patients with PB-DLBCL and 6 patients with SB-DLBCL).The 5-year OS rate was(75.0±15.3)％in PB-DLBCL group and(32.3±17.1)％in SB-DLBCL group.The 5-year PFS rate was(59.1±19.8)％in PB-DLBCL and 0％in SB-DLBCL group.The 5-year OS rate and PFS rate of PB-DLBCL patients were higher than those of SB-DLBCL patients(P＜0.05);the 5-year OS rate of the combined central preventive treatment group was higher than that of the chemotherapy group(P＜0.05).Conclusion:Breast DLBCL is divided into two categories:PB-DLBCL and SB-DLBCL.Compared with SB-DLBCL,PB-DLBCL has the characteristics of lower IPI score,LDH,and β2-microglobulin levels.PB-DLBCL patients have a longer survival period.In addition,the prognosis of patients receiving central preventive treatment is more optimistic.

Objective:To detect the pharmacokinetic(PK)parameters of coagulation factor Ⅷ(FⅧ)in adult patients with severe hemophilia A,identify the potential factors influencing FⅧ PK,and optimize the use of FⅧ in individual prophylaxis regimens.Methods:PK characteristics of FⅧ were studied in a total of 23 severe hemophilia A adults.The correlation of patients'characteristics including age,von Willebrand factor antigen(vWF:Ag),blood group,weight,body mass index(BMI)and FⅧ genotype,with FⅧ PK were evaluated.Individual prophylaxis regimens were given based on FⅧ PK parameters.Results:The mean terminal half-life(t1/2)of FⅧ was 20.6±9.3 h,ranged from 11.47 h to 30.12 h.The age(r=0.580)and vWF:Ag(r=0.814)were significantly positively correlated with t1/2 of FⅧ.The mean area under the plasma concentration curve(AUC)of FⅧ was 913±399(328-1 878)IU h/dl,and the AUC of FⅧ was positively correlated with age(r=0.557)and vWF:Ag(r=0.784).The mean residence time(MRT)of FⅧ was 24.7±12.4(13.2-62.2)h,and the MRT of FⅧ was positively correlated with age(r=0.664)and vWF:Ag(r=0.868).The mean in vivo recovery(IVR)of FⅧ was 2.59±0.888(1.5-4.29)IU/dl per IU/kg,the mean clearance(CL)of FⅧ was 3±1.58(0.97-7.18)ml/(kg·h),and there was no significant correlation of IVR and CL with age and vWF:Ag.According to the individual PK parameters,ultra low-dose,low-dose and moderate-dose FⅧ were applied to 15,6,2 adults patients with severe hemophilia A for prophylaxis,respectively.Conclusion:There are significant individual differences in the FⅧ half-life of adult patients with severe hemophilia A.The older the patient,the higher the vWF:Ag level,and the longer the FⅧ half-life.Individual administration is required based on the FⅧ PK parameters to optimize prophylaxis treatment.

Objective:To explore the changes in number and immune function of mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells in peripheral blood of patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML),and its correlation with the occurrence and development of AML. Methods:Seventy-five clinical samples of patients with newly diagnosed AML and 48 healthy control samples in our hospital from January 2022 to February 2023 were included. Multiparametric flow cytometry was used to detect the number of MAIT cells,membrane surface markers,effector phenotypes and functional indicators in the samples. Results:Compared with healthy controls,the percentage of MAIT cells in CD3+T cells in peripheral blood of newly diagnosed AML patients was significantly reduced (P<0.001). The percentage of MAIT cells in all CD3+T cells in bone marrow of AML patients was similar to that in peripheral blood (P>0.05). Most of MAIT cells in peripheral blood of AML patients were effector memory T cells. Compared with healthy controls,the proportion of effector memory MAIT cells decreased (P<0.05),while the proportion of terminally differentiated effector memory MAIT cells and PD-1+MAIT cells increased significantly (both P<0.05). AML patients' peripheral blood MAIT cells expressed significantly higher levels of granzyme B and perforin than healthy controls (both P<0.05),and secreted significantly lower levels of cytokines such as gamma interferon and tumor necrosis factor α than healthy controls (both P<0.001). Conclusion:Compared with healthy controls,the proportion of MAIT cells in AML patients is reduced and the expression of functional markers is abnormal,suggesting that their function is impaired and may be involved in the occurrence and development of AML.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of 2 endoscopic spine surgeries on the biomechanical properties of normal and osteoporotic spines. Methods: Based on computed tomography images of a healthy adult volunteer, 6 finite element models were created. After validating the normal intact model, a concentrated force of 400 N and a moment of 7.5 Nm were exerted on the upper surface of L3 to simulate 6 physiological activities of the spine. Five types of indices were used to assess the biomechanical properties of the 6 models, range of motion (ROM), maximum displacement value, intervertebral disc stress, maximum stress value, and articular protrusion stress, and by combining them with finite element stress cloud. Results: In normal and osteoporotic spines, there was no meaningful change in ROM or disc stress in the 2 surgical models for the 6 motion states. Model N1 (osteoporotic percutaneous transforaminal endoscopic discectomy model) showed a decrease in maximum displacement value of 20.28% in right lateral bending. Model M2 (unilateral biportal endoscopic model) increased maximum displacement values of 16.88% and 17.82% during left and right lateral bending, respectively. The maximum stress value of L4–5 increased by 11.72% for model M2 during left rotation. In addition, using the same surgical approach, ROM, maximum displacement values, disc stress, and maximum stress values were more significant in the osteoporotic model than in the normal model. Conclusion In both normal and osteoporotic spines, both surgical approaches were less disruptive to the physiologic structure of the spine. Furthermore, using the same endoscopic spine surgery, normal spine biomechanical properties are superior to osteoporotic spines.
