Traditional mass measurement methods are not applicable in microgravity environments,and the main challenge for in-orbit body mass measurement technology based on inertial principles is to address the random errors brought about by the weightless environment.These include additional torques due to shifts in the center of mass,nonlinear accelerations due to non-rigid human bodies,mechanical energy consumption due to organ vibrations,and random vibrations of the measurement device itself.To address the above difficulties,the project proposes a technical scheme based on the principle of linear acceleration,designs and constructs a ground-specific air-floating experimental and simulation platform,studies key data such as motion trajectory,acceleration change,and vibration frequency amplitude during the mass measurement process,and simulates the changes in the center of mass and random vibrations of the human body in a weightless environment.The project has designed an adjustable posture bracket to adapt to changes in the center of mass,enhance body restraint,and greatly reduce shaking;it has also developed an integrated four-bar linkage motion guidance mechanism,high-precision integrated photoelectric distance measurement,and modular motion constant force measurement device to ensure the accurate measurement of acceleration and constant force data.The product has undergone simulation calculations,ground human applicability tests,and in-orbit applicability verification in the space station.Ground test results show that the device achieves a body mass measurement accuracy better than 0.5%,and the dispersion is better than 0.38%;after flight mission verification and evaluation,the in-orbit body mass measurement dispersion is less than 0.4%,which is superior to the SLAMMD,a mass measurement device of the same principle on the International Space Station,and is at the forefront internationally,achieving accurate body mass measurement.

Aim To explore the biological mechanism of ligustilide in the prevention and treatment of osteo-porosis by regulating H-type blood vessels,combined with animal experiments for verification,based on net-work pharmacology and molecular docking technology Methods The possible mechanism of ligustilide regu-lating H-type blood vessels to prevent osteoporosis was predicted by network pharmacology.Molecular docking technology was used to verify the binding ability of the core target EGFR to ligustilide.The rat model of osteo-porosis was established and divided into the sham group,model group,ligustilide high,medium and low dose(80,40,20 mg·kg-1)groups.The pathological changes of femur were observed by HE staining.The expressions of CD31,EMCN,OSX+and RUNX2+pro-tein in tibial metaphysis were detected by immunofluo-rescence.The expression of p-EGFR,p-PI3K and p-Akt protein was detected by Western blot.Results The results of network pharmacology showed that a total of 20 intersection targets were obtained.EGFR,PTGS2,ESR1 and ICAM1 were core targets,and mo-lecular docking showed that EGFR had a strong bind-ing ability with ligustilide.The signaling pathways of ligustilide in the prevention and treatment of osteoporo-sis by regulating the expression of H-type blood vessels were mainly enriched in PI3K-Akt,TNF,etc.Com-pared with the model group,ligustilide could signifi-cantly increase the number of trabecular bone and im-prove the destruction of bone microstructure.The ex-pression of CD31,EMCN,OSX+and RUNX2+signifi-cantly increased(P<0.01,P<0.05),the formation of H-type blood vessels were promoted,and the expres-sion of p-EGFR,p-PI3K and p-Akt significantly in-creased(P<0.01,P<0.05).Conclusions Ligusti-lide can increase the expression of H-type blood vessels in bone tissue of osteoporosis model rats,reduce the damage of bone trabecula and improve bone micro-structure effectively.EGFR-mediated PI3K/Akt signa-ling pathway may be the key way to exert its biological effects.

Icaritin(ICT)is an 8-isopentenylflavonoid,which is the main effective component of the tra-ditional Chinese medicine Epimedium.Previously,we found that Icaritin inhibits the growth of glioblasto-ma(GBM)cells.Herein we aim to study the in vivo anti-GBM effectiveness of Icaritin and explore its mechanism.The results of MTT assay,flow cytometry,comet assay and cellular immunofluorescence as-say in vitro showed that ICT inhibited the proliferation of four kinds of GBM cells,U87,U251,U118 and A172,induced early apoptosis(P<0.001)and late apoptosis(P<0.05)in U87 cells,induced DNA damage in U87 cells,and blocked the growth of U87 cells at the G0/G1 phase(P<0.0001)in a concen-tration-time-dependent manner.In vivo subcutaneous tumor transplantation tumor experiments showed that feeding 200 mg/kg(P<0.01)and 400 mg/kg(P<0.001)ICT had a significant inhibitory effect on the growth of GBM subcutaneous tumors,and had no significant toxic effects on heart,liver,spleen,lung and kidney tissues.The results of network pharmacological analysis,molecular docking and cellular thermodynamic experiments showed that there were 26 possible target proteins between ICT and GBM,a-mong which the expression of p53 in GBM tissues was significantly(P<0.001)higher than in normal tis-sues,and the binding energy of ICT and p53 was lower;cellular thermodynamic experiments verified that ICT significantly enriched the level of p53 in the living cells of GBM,which indicated that ICT could tar-get p53.The expression of key proteins in the DNA damage repair and apoptosis-associated FOXO signa-ling pathway was detected by ICT.The results showed that the expression of ATR(P<0.01),P53(P<0.001),P21(P<0.05)and γ-H2AX(P<0.05)was up-regulated,whereas the expression of Cyc-lin E1(P<0.01),E2F1(P<0.05),CDK2(P<0.01),Rb(P<0.001),p-Rb(P<0.0001)and WRN(P<0.0001)expression were down-regulated.There was no significant change in the expres-sion of FOXO 1 in the FOXO pathway or a significant down-regulation of its phosphorylation level.This study demonstrated that ICT could effectively inhibit the growth of GBM cells in vivo.It targets p53 to regulate the DNA damage repair pathway and FOXO signaling pathway to induce GBM cell cycle arrest and apoptosis.

Objective To analyze the correlation between lesion volume,lesion mass,and maximum lesion diameter in the assessment of advanced hepatocarcinoma with lung metastasis,and to evaluate the application value of total volume response and total mass response of lung metastatic lesions in efficacy assessment.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the CT imaging data of 20 patients clinically confirmed with hepatocarcinoma and lung metastases,followed by subsequent follow-up to monitor their survival outcomes.Volume measurement software was used to measure the volume of lesions before and after treatment.We recored lesion diameter,volume measurements and CT values,calculated the mass of the lesions.The correlation between lesion volume,mass and diameter was analyzed,as well as the correlation between the change rates of volume,mass and lesion diameter.Additionally,the total volume and total mass of all lesions were calculated.The correlation between the change rates of total volume/total mass and the change rate of pulmonary lesion diameter under the RECIST 1.1 criteria,as well as the correlation with changes in patients'tumor markers,were analyzed.Furthermore,the overall volume response and overall mass response of lesions were evaluated based on changes in total volume and total mass,and their consistencies with the RECIST 1.1 criteria for efficacy evaluation were analyzed.Finally,univariate Cox regression analysis was performed to explore the association between these variables and patient survival outcomes.Results There was strong correlation between lesion volume,mass and tumor diameter(r=0.771,0.775),between the rate of change in mass and the rate of change in lesion diameter(r=0.846),and between the rates of change in total volume/total mass and the rate of change in pulmonary lesion diameter under the RECIST 1.1 criteria(r=0.800,0.896).The correlation between the rates of change in total volume/total mass and patients'tumor markers was not statistically significant.There was moderate correlation between the rate of change in volume and the rate of change in lesion diameter(r=0.692).The evaluation results of total volume response and total mass response for pulmonary lesions in advanced hepatocarcinoma with lung metastasis were generally consistent with the RECIST 1.1 criteria(Kappa=0.486,0.426).Univariate Cox regression analysis revealed that total lesion volume(P=0.047)and total lesion mass(P=0.049)were independent prognostic factors for survival outcomes.Conclusion Lesion volume,mass,and diameter,as well as their respective change rates,were found to be interrelated.Furthermore,total lesion volume and total lesion mass were identified as independent prognostic factors for survival outcomes.The total volume response and total mass response are promising evaluation methods in evaluating the efficacy of lung metastasis of hepatocarcinoma,which are different from the RECIST 1.1 evaluation criteria.

Objective:To explore the correlation between D-dimer (D-D), antithrombin Ⅲ (AT-Ⅲ) at admission, and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) in patients with severe multiple trauma.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted to collect data from 80 patients with severe multiple trauma admitted to Jinhua Central Hospital from April 2021 to April 2024. According to the occurrence of MODS within 1 week of treatment, the patients were divided into an occurrence group with 25 cases and a non-occurrence group with 55 cases. The general data, plasma D-D, serum AT-Ⅲ levels and other laboratory indexes at admission were compared between the two groups. The correlation between D-D, AT-Ⅲ at admission and MODS in patients with severe multiple trauma was analyzed.Results:The injury severity rating score (ISS) in the occurrence group was higher than that in the non-occurrence group: (29.12 ± 3.84) points vs. (26.18 ± 3.12) points, the proportion of damage control surgery was lower than that in the non-occurrence group: 32.00% (8/25) vs. 65.45% (36/55), the platelet, AT-Ⅲ and albumin at admission were lower than those in the non-occurrence group: (112.28 ± 20.12) ×10 9/L vs. (123.56 ± 23.47) ×10 9/L, (133.79 ± 18.21) mg/L vs. (148.26 ± 19.57) mg/L, (35.12 ± 6.35) g/L vs. (38.47 ± 5.88) g/L, the D-D at admission was higher than that in the non-occurrence group: (11.36 ± 3.35) mg/L vs. (8.18 ± 2.83) mg/L, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis result showed that the occurrence of MODS in patients with severe multiple trauma may be related to the ISS at admission, the status of receiving damage control surgery, and the D-D, AT-Ⅲ, albumin at admission ( OR = 1.29, 0.14, 1.34, 0.95 and 0.87; P<0.05). Restrictive cubic spline analysis showed that the risk of MODS in patients with severe multiple trauma showed a non-linear dose-response relationship with D-D and AT-Ⅲ at admission ( P<0.05). When D-D at admission ≥ 9.25 mg/L, the risk of MODS increased with increasing levels, while when AT-Ⅲ at admission ≤ 143.49 mg/L, the risk of MODS increased with decreasing levels. The D-D and AT-Ⅲ at admission had a negative interactive effect on the occurrence of MODS in patients with severe multiple trauma. By drawing decision curves and column charts, it was found that D-D and AT-Ⅲ at admission, as well as other major indicators, had high predictive power for the occurrence of MODS in patients with severe multiple trauma. Conclusions:The occurrence of MODS in patients with severe multiple trauma may be related to the levels of D-D and AT-Ⅲ, and the risk of MODS increases with the increase of D-D and the decrease of AT-Ⅲ at admission. Both can effectively assist other indicators in predicting the risk of MODS in patients.
