OBJECTIVE To study the effects of peripheral blood-derived exosomes (Exo) intervened by Naozhenning (NZN) on injury of neuron cells HT22 induced by microglia BV-2 cells. METHODS Wistar rats were selected to prepare peripheral blood- derived Exo intervened by NZN (66.83 g/kg), referred to as NZN-Exo; peripheral blood-derived Exo intervened by normal saline and piracetam (PLXT, 1.62 g/kg) were prepared using the same method, denoted as KB-Exo and PLXT-Exo respectively, and all Exo were subsequently identified. Meanwhile, BV-2 cells were stimulated with 1 μg/mL lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to prepare LPS- stimulated supernatant, and non-LPS-stimulated supernatant was prepared following the same protocol. HT22 cells were divided into four groups: KB-Exo group (treated with non-LPS-stimulated supernatant+KB-Exo), model group (treated with LPS-stimulated supernatant+KB-Exo), PLXT-Exo group (treated with LPS-stimulated supernatant+PLXT-Exo), and NZN-Exo group (treated with LPS-stimulated supernatant+NZN-Exo), with the concentration of the corresponding Exo in all groups being 50 μg/mL. After 24 hours of culture, the proliferation of HT22 cells was detected by the CCK-8 assay and EdU assay; the apoptosis of HT22 cells was detected; the microstructure of HT22 cells was observed; the contents of interleukin-1β (IL-1β), IL-10, nuclear factor-κB (NF- κB), and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in HT22 cells were measured, as well as the expression levels of TNF-α, NOD-like receptor thermal protein domain associated protein 3 (NLRP3), Caspase-1, B-cell lymphoma-2( Bcl-2), and Bcl-2-associated X protein (Bax). RESULTS KB-Exo, PLXT-Exo and NZN-Exo were successfully prepared, and all Exo exhibited typical cup-shaped contours and membrane-enclosed characteristics. Compared with KB-Exo group, model group showed significantly decreased cell proliferation rates (detected by CCK-8 and EdU), intracellular IL-10 levels, and Bcl-2 protein expression levels (P<0.05); while the cell apoptosis rate, intracellular levels of IL-1β, TNF-α, and NF-κB, as well as the expression levels of NLRP3, TNF-α, Caspase-1, and Bax proteins were significantly increased (P<0.05). Additionally, in the model group, the cells showed volume swelling, incomplete cell membrane, nucleolar rupture, significant swelling and deformation of mitochondria, and severe vacuolization. Compared with model group, the above quantitative indicators in the PLXT-Exo group and NZN-Exo group were significantly reversed (P<0.05), with large and round cell nuclei, intact nuclear membranes, and reduced mitochondrial vacuolization. CONCLUSIONS Peripheral blood-derived Exo intervened by naozhenning can alleviate the injury of neuronal cells HT22 by inhibiting inflammatory responses and cell apoptosis.

OBJECTIVE To explore the mechanism of Naozhenning granules in regulating mitochondrial energy metabolism in hippocampal tissue of multiple cerebral concussion (MCC) model rats. METHODS SPF grade Wistar rats were used to prepare MCC models using the “free fall impact method”. The successfully modeled rats were divided into model group, piracetam group, and Naozhenning granule low-dose, medium-dose and high-dose groups, and a normal group was also set up, with 8 rats in each group. Rats in each treatment group orally administered corresponding drugs at doses of 0.324 g/kg for the piracetam group and 2.25, 4.5 and 9 g/kg for the Naozhenning granule low-dose, medium-dose and high-dose groups; the normal group and model group were given equal volumes of normal saline; once a day, for 14 consecutive days. The motor exploration ability, learning and memory ability of rats were tested; the adenosine triphosphate (ATP) content in the hippocampal tissue of rat was detected; the changes in the mitochondrial structure of hippocampal tissue was observed; the fluorescence intensity of mitochondrial dynamin- related protein 1 (Drp1), mitochondrial fission protein 1 (Fis1), mitochondrial fusion 1 (Mfn1), and optic atrophy protein 1 (Opa1) were detected in the hippocampal tissue of rat; the protein expression levels of peroxisome proliferator activated receptor gamma coactivator-1α(PGC-1α), nuclear respiratory factor-1(NRF-1),mitochondrial transcription factor A(TFAM), Wnt-3a,β-catenin in hippocampal tissue of rat were detected. RESULTS Compared with the normal group, the total exercise distance, number of central grid entries, number of upright positions, new object recognition index, mitochondrial ATP content, fluorescence intensity of Mfn1 and Opa1, the protein expression levels of PGC-1α、NRF-1、TFAM、Wnt-3a、 β-catenin in the model group were significantly reduced (P<0.01), while the rest time and fluorescence intensity of Drp1 and Fis1 in hippocampal tissue were significantly increased (P<0.01). The results of transmission electron microscopy showed that the mitochondria in the hippocampal tissue were significantly swollen, with a large number of broken and reduced cristae, and some mitochondria had myeloid changes in the membrane. Compared with the model group, the levels/contents of the above indicators in rats of each administration group showed varying degrees of reversal, and most of the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05 or P<0.01); the degree of mitochondrial swelling in the hippocampal tissue was reduced, with a small amount of broken and reduced cristae, fuzzy fractures appeared in local areas of the rough endoplasmic reticulum. CONCLUSIONS Naozhenning granules can improve the motor exploration, learning and memory abilities of MCC model rats, repair neuronal damage, and exert neuroprotective effects. Its mechanism may be related to activating Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway,maintaining the balance of mitochondrial division and fusion,and promoting mitochondrial biosynthesis.

BACKGROUND:Laser therapy is a non-invasive and painless treatment that is considered to be an effective method suitable for the treatment of osteoarthritis due to its simplicity and non-invasive nature.Currently,the mechanism of action of laser therapy is unclear and the results of studies on its clinical application are controversial. OBJECTIVE:To review and summarize the latest research progress of laser therapy on chondrocytes,animal experiments and clinical efficacy,and to explore the possible mechanism of laser-mediated multi-pathway biological effects,so as to provide a theoretical basis for further research on the laser treatment of osteoarthritis of the knee joint. METHODS:A literature search was performed in CNKI,WanFang Data,VIP and PubMed databases for relevant literature published from 2018 to 2023,with"laser therapy,low level laser therapy,high level laser therapy,photobiomodulation,knee osteoarthritis,chondrocytes"as the search terms in Chinese and English,respectively.Together with 14 articles searched manually,70 articles were finally included for review. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Laser therapy in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis is mainly categorized into two types:low-level laser therapy and high-level laser therapy.Differences in laser parameters and treatment protocols have a direct impact on laser efficacy.When appropriate parameters are used,low-level lasers show positive effects in cellular experiments,animal models,and clinical efficacy.High-level lasers have been less studied in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis,but some preliminary clinical studies have shown positive results.Cell experiments have shown that low-level laser promotes chondrocyte proliferation and cartilage matrix synthesis,thereby reducing inflammatory response.Animal experiments have shown that low-level laser can reduce the release of pro-inflammatory factors,promote cartilage matrix synthesis,inhibit matrix degradation,and effectively improve the repair process of cartilage tissue.Low-level laser is also able to reduce oxidative stress damage and relieve pain in knee osteoarthritis.In clinical trials,both low-and high-level laser can reduce patients'pain and improve functional activities.The combination of laser therapy and exercise therapy modalities may improve the therapeutic effect.Lasers may affect intracellular signaling and cellular functions through photobiological or thermodynamic effects.This provides direct evidence that laser promotes articular cartilage regeneration.

ObjectiveTo explore the effects of Naozhenning granules on the memory function and neuron cells in the rat model of post-concussion syndrome based on mitochondrial biosynthesis. MethodSPF-grade Wistar rats were used to establish the multiple cerebral concussion (MCC) model by the weight-drop method. The successfully modeled rats were assigned into model, piracetam (0.324 g·kg-1), and low-, medium-, and high-dose (2.25, 4.5, and 9 g·kg-1, respectively) Naozhenning groups. The rats were administrated with corresponding drugs by gavage and those in the blank group and model group were administrated the same volume of normal saline once a day for 14 days. The general state of rats was observed before and after treatment. The open field test and new object recognition test were conducted to examine the motor and memory abilities of rats. Hematoxylin-eosin staining was employed to observe the pathological changes of cortical neurons in rats. Western blot and real-time polymerase chain reaction were employed to determine the protein and mRNA levels, respectively, of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ-coactivator-1α (PGC-1α), nuclear respiratory factor-1 (NRF-1), and transcription factor A mitochondrial (TFAM) in rat cortex. ResultCompared with the blank group, the model group showed anxious and manic mental status, yellow and messy fur, and reduced food intake. In the open field experiment, the model group showed reduced total movement distance, times of entering the central grid, and times of rearing decreased and increased resting time compared with the blank group (P<0.01). The model group had lower recognition index of new objects than the blank group (P<0.01). In addition, the modeling caused reduced neurons with sparse distribution and deformed, broken, and irregular nucleoli and down-regulated the mRNA and protein levels of PGC-1α, NRF-1, and TFAM in the cortex (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, piracetam and Naozhenning improved the mental state, coat color, food intake, and activities of rats. In the open field test, piracetam and Naozhenning increased the total movement distance, the times of entering the central grid, and the times of rearing and shortened the resting time (P<0.05, P<0.01). The piracetam and Naozhenning groups had higher recognition index of new objects than the model group (P<0.05, P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the piracetam and Naozhenning groups showed increased neurons with tight arrangement and large and round nuclei, and some cells with irregular morphology and turbid cytoplasm. Furthermore, piracetam and medium-dose Naozhenning upregulated the protein levels of PGC-1α, NRF-1, and TFAM (P<0.01). Low-dose Naozhenning upregulated the protein levels of NRF-1 and TFAM (P<0.01), and high-dose Naozhenning upregulated the protein levels of PGC-1α and TFAM in the cortex (P<0.01). The mRNA levels of PGC-1α, NRF-1, and TFAM in the cortex were upregulated in the piracetam group and Naozhenning groups (P<0.05, P<0.01). ConclusionNaozhenning granules can improve the motor, memory, and learning, repair the neuronal damage, and protect the nerve function in the rat model of MCC by promoting mitochondrial biosynthesis.

Objective To examine the effects of ankle brace on biomechanics of the lower extremity during landing, so as to provide a theoretic support to choose ankle brace for people with different sports levels. Methods The key words (ankle brace OR ankle braces OR ankle bracing OR ankle support) AND (landing OR land OR jump OR hopped OR hopping) AND (biomechanics OR kinematics OR kinetics OR electromyography OR neuromuscular) in Chinese and English were searched from different electronic databases (CNKI, Web of Science, EBSCO, PubMed and other databases), for a period of Jan. 2000 to Dec. 2020. Cochrane was used to evaluate the quality of eligible studies. For meta analysis, subgroup analysis was used to assess the impact of ankle braces on ankle biomechanics.Results Thirteen studies with a total of 222 participants were included for mata analysis in this study. The semi-rigid ankle brace reduced the peak of ankle inversion by 25.8% compared with the elastic ankle brace (SMD=-0.562, P<0.001). Moreover, the elastic ankle brace reduced ankle plant flexion during landing among athletes (SMD=-3.42, P=-0.021). As for collagiate students, both elastic ankle and semi-rigid ankle decreased the ankle inversion (elastic ankle brace: 35.4%, SMD=-1.000, P=-0.013; semi-rigid ankle brace: 31.11%, SMD=-0.881, P<0.001) and ankle plant flexion (elastic ankle brace:23.30%, SMD=-1.381, P<0.001;semi-rigid ankle brace: 36.33%, SMD=-1.605, P<0.001).Conclusions Both ankle braces can prevent ankle sprain for athletes (basketball, volleyball, running) who experience training more than 5 years. The elastic ankle brace can limit the inversion and plantar flexion, while the semi-rigid ankle brace can merely decrease the ankle inversion. Therefore, athletes are more suitable for the elastic ankle brace. As for collegiate students without training history, both ankle brace can decrease the ankle inversion and plantar flexion. The elastic ankle brace has greater restriction on inversion, while the semi-rigid ankle brace has more restriction on plantar flexion. Therefore, the elastic ankle brace should be utilized if collegiate students have calcaneofibular ligament injury, while the semi-rigid ankle brace is more suitable for collegiate students who have a history of anterior talofibular ligament injury.
