BACKGROUND:In the initial stage of growth plate injury inflammation,platelet-derived growth factor BB promotes the repair of growth plate injury by promoting mesenchymal progenitor cell infiltration,chondrogenesis,osteogenic response,and regulating bone remodeling. OBJECTIVE:To elucidate the action mechanism of platelet-derived growth factor BB after growth plate injury. METHODS:PubMed,VIP,WanFang,and CNKI databases were used as the literature sources.The search terms were"growth plate injury,bone bridge,platelet-derived growth factor BB,repair"in English and Chinese.Finally,66 articles were screened for this review. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Growth plate injury experienced early inflammation,vascular reconstruction,fibroossification,structural remodeling and other pathological processes,accompanied by the crosstalk of chondrocytes,vascular endothelial cells,stem cells,osteoblasts,osteoclasts and other cells.Platelet-derived growth factor BB,as an important factor in the early inflammatory response of injury,regulates the injury repair process by mediating a variety of cellular inflammatory responses.Targeting the inflammatory stimulation mediated by platelet-derived growth factor BB may delay the bone bridge formation process by improving the functional activities of osteoclasts,osteoblasts,and chondrocytes,so as to achieve the injury repair of growth plate.Platelet-derived growth factor BB plays an important role in angiogenesis and bone repair tissue formation at the injured site of growth plate and intrachondral bone lengthening function of uninjured growth plate.Inhibition of the coupling effect between angiogenesis initiated by platelet-derived growth factor BB and intrachondral bone formation may achieve the repair of growth plate injury.

ObjectiveTo investigate the spontaneous premature cardiac aging in SHJHhr mice. MethodsA comparative study was conducted between SHJHhr mice (SHJHhr group) and wild-type ICR mice (WT group) at different ages (10 and 24 weeks). Cardiac function was analyzed using a small animal in vivo ultrasound imaging system. After euthanasia, organs were collected and weighed to assess the extent of cardiac atrophy. Cardiac pathological damage was observed using hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining. Cardiac fibrosis was analyzed using Masson staining. Myocardial cell area was analyzed after wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) staining. The activities of oxidative damage indicators in myocardial tissue, including superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPX), and catalase (CAT), as well as the content of 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG), were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR was used to measure the mRNA expression levels of factors associated with inflammation, fibrosis, and oxidative stress. Colorimetric assay was used to measure malondialdehyde (MDA) levels. ResultsCompared to WT group mice of the same age, 10-week-old mice in the SHJHhr group showed no significant differences in stroke volume (SV), ejection fraction (EF), fractional shortening (FS), or heart and lung weights. However, at 24 weeks of age, mice in the SHJHhr group had significantly lower SV, EF, and FS values compared to mice of the same age in the WT group (P<0.05), with no significant change in lung weight but a significant reduction in heart weight (P<0.05). Histological analysis of heart tissue from 24-week-old mice revealed no significant difference in cardiac fibrosis levels between SHJHhr and WT groups, but WGA staining showed a significant reduction in myocardial cell area in mice in the SHJHhr group (P<0.05). PCR analysis revealed a significant downregulation of mRNA levels of oxidative stress factors Sod2, Gpx1, and Cat genes (P<0.05). Biochemical assays indicated significantly reduced activities of oxidative damage-related enzymes SOD, GPX, and CAT in myocardial tissue (P<0.05), while the levels of oxidative damage markers 8-OHdG and MDA significantly increased (P<0.05). ConclusionMice in the SHJHhr group exhibit premature cardiac aging, which may be associated with oxidative stress damage in myocardial tissue.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the comprehensive value of novel oral anticoagulant drugs (NOACs) after major orthopedic surgery. METHODS The evaluation evidence was collected through literature research; evidence and value:impact on decision-making (EVIDEM) framework was introduced to integrate the evaluation process; the multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) method was used to construct a multi-dimensional evaluation system; the weights assigned to each evaluation criterion were determined by the combination of Delphi method and analytic hierarchy process, and the rivaroxaban, dabigatran and apixaban were comprehensively evaluated. RESULTS The clinical comprehensive evaluation system of NOACs after major orthopedic surgery was successfully established, and the final clinical comprehensive evaluation weights of NOACs (rivaroxaban, dabigatran, apixaban) after major orthopedic surgery were calculated, with scores of 0.399 7 for rivaroxaban, 0.244 4 for apixaban, and 0.355 9 for dabigatran, indicating that rivaroxaban demonstrated the highest overall clinical value. Among them, rivaroxaban had the highest weight score in the evaluation of pharmaceutical characteristics, cost-effectiveness and other attributes in a single dimension. In terms of efficacy and safety evaluation, apixaban had the highest weighting score. CONCLUSIONS Among NOACs, rivaroxaban is more suitable for routine anticoagulation management after major orthopedic surgery, especially in terms of pharmacological properties, cost-effectiveness and other attributes.

Objective: To explore the clinical safety and efficacy of a single-position robot-assisted radical nephroureterectomy (RRUN) in the treatment of upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC). Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 136 UTUC patients who underwent RRUN (n=35) and laparoscopic radical nephroureterectomy (LRUN,n=101) in our hospital during Dec.2020 and Aug.2023.The perioperative and safety indicators of the two groups were compared.The intravesical recurrence-free survival (IVRFS),recurrence-free survival (RFS),and overall survival (OS) of the two groups were compared using Kaplan-Meier method. Results: There were no significant differences in the baseline data between the two groups (P>0.05).All surgeries were successfully completed without conversion to open surgery.RRUN demonstrated superior perioperative outcomes compared to LRUN in overall postoperative complication rate [37.1%(13/35) vs. 56.4%(57/101)],postoperative hospital stay [6(5,7) days vs. 7(6,8) days],and catheter indwelling time [3(2,4) days vs. 4(3,5) days],with statistically significant differences (P<0.05).Safety indicators of both surgical approaches were similar (P>0.05).Survival analysis showed no significant difference in oncological outcomes between the two groups [IVRFS (1 year:92.1%,2 years:85.2%),RFS (1 year:82.4%,2 years:74.9%),OS (1 year:90.6%,2 years:84.2%)] (P>0.05). Conclusion: Compared with retroperitoneal LRUN,single-position RRUN for UTUC demonstrates comparable safety and oncological efficacy,while offering significant advantages in perioperative outcomes such as reducing postoperative complication rate and shortening hospital stay.

Methods Schistosomiasis control data were retrospectively collected from departments of health, agriculture and rural affairs, forestry and grassland, water resources, and natural resources in Sichuan Province from 2015 to 2023, and a database was created to document examinations and treatments of human and livestock schistosomiasis, and snail survey and control, conversion of paddy fields to dry fields, ditch hardening, rivers and lakes management and building of forests for snail control and schistosomiasis prevention. The completion of schistosomiasis control measures was investigated, and the effectiveness was evaluated. Results A total of 20 545 155 person-times received human schistosomiasis examinations in Sichuan Province during the period from 2015 to 2023, and 232 157 person-times were seropositive, with a reduction in the seroprevalence from 2.10% (44 299/2 107 003) in 2015 to 1.12% (9 361/837 896) in 2023 (χ2 = 7.68, P < 0.001). The seroprevalence of human schistosomiasis appeared a tendency towards a decline in Sichuan Province over years from 2015 to 2023 (b = −8.375, t = −10.052, P < 0.001); however, no egg positive individuals were identified during the period from 2018 to 2023, with the prevalence of human Schistosoma japonicum infections maintained at 0. Expanded chemotherapy was administered to 2 754 515 person-times, and medical assistance of advanced schistosomiasis was given to 6 436 persontimes, with the treatment coverage increasing from 46.80% (827/1 767) in 2015 to 64.87% (868/1 338) in 2023. Parasitological tests for livestock schistosomiasis were performed in 35 113 herd-times, and expanded chemotherapy was administered to 513 043 herd-times, while the number of fenced livestock decreased from 121 631 in 2015 to 103 489 in 2023, with a reduction of 14.92%. Snail survey covered 433 621.80 hm2 in Sichuan Province from 2015 to 2023, with 204 602.81 hm2 treated by chemical control and 4 637.74 hm2 by environmental modifications. The area of snail habitats decreased from the peak of 5 029.80 hm2 in 2016 to 3 709.72 hm2 in 2023, and the actual area of snail habitats decreased from the peak of 8 585.48 hm2 in 2016 to 473.09 hm2 in 2023. The mean density of living snails remained low across the study period except in 2017 (0.62 snails/0.1 m2). Schistosomiasis control efforts by departments of agriculture and rural affairs in Sichuan Province included conversion of paddy fields to dry fields covering 153 346.93 hm2, hardening of 6 110.31 km ditches, building of 70 356 biogas digesters, replacement of cattle with 227 161 sets of machines, and captive breeding of 21 161 070 livestock from 2015 to 2023, and the control efforts by departments of water resources included rivers and lakes management measuring 5 676.92 km and renovation of 2 331 irrigation areas, while the control efforts by departments of forestry and grassland included building of forests for snail control and schistosomiasis prevention covering 23 913.33 hm2, renovation of snail control forests covering 8 720 hm2 and newly building of shelterbelts covering 764 686.67 hm2. All 63 endemic counties (cities and districts) had achieved the criterion for schistosomiasis elimination criteria in Sichuan Province by the end of 2023. Conclusion Following the integrated control efforts from 2015 to 2023, remarkable achievements have been obtained in the schistosomiasis control programme in Sichuan Province, with all endemic counties successfully attaining the schistosomiasis elimination target at the county level.

BACKGROUND:Resveratrol is a natural antioxidant extracted from plants.Its mechanism of improving exercise-induced fatigue mainly focuses on the protective effect against oxidative stress and inflammation.In this study,the protective mechanism of resveratrol on exercise-induced fatigue was mainly discussed from the perspective of gluconeogenesis. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of resveratrol on gluconeogenesis in exercise-induced fatigue rats. METHODS:After 1 week of adaptive training,male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into 4 groups with 12 rats in each group:blank control group,resveratrol group,exercise group,resveratrol + exercise group.Weight-bearing swimming training was used to simulate long-term medium-high intensity exercise.After swimming with a weight of 5%for 1 hour every day,50 mg/kg resveratrol solution or the same volume of dimethyl sulfoxide solvent were given orally,6 days a week,for a total of 6 weeks.Samples were collected 24 hours after the last exercise,and the levels of urea nitrogen,creatine kinase,blood glucose,liver glycogen and lactic acid and pyruvate in liver tissue were detected by the kit.The activity of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase was detected by microassay,and the activity of glucose-6-phosphatase was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR was used to detect the gene expression of silent information regulator 1,cAMP-response element binding protein and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ coactivator-1α. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:In the exercise group,plasma urea nitrogen and creatine kinase levels of rats were significantly increased(both P<0.05),liver lactate and pyruvate levels and lactate/pyruvate ratio were significantly increased(all P<0.01),and blood glucose and liver glycogen contents were significantly decreased(both P<0.01).Resveratrol supplementation could effectively improve the above conditions.Exercise significantly decreased the activities of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase and glucose-6-phosphatase(P<0.01,P<0.05),and resveratrol supplementation significantly increased the activity of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase in liver tissue(P<0.01).The mRNA expression levels of silent information regulator 1,cAMP-response element binding protein and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ coactivator-1α in liver tissue of the exercise group were significantly decreased(all P<0.01),while resveratrol supplementation could significantly increase the gene expression levels of this pathway.To conclude,resveratrol can relieve exercise-induced fatigue caused by long-term medium-high intensity exercise,and its mechanism may be related to up-regulating the gluconeogenesis regulatory pathway,improving rate-limiting enzyme activity,promoting liver gluconeogenesis,and increasing blood glucose and liver glycogen levels.

BACKGROUND:Studies have shown that resveratrol can relieve exercise-induced fatigue and protect the heart,but its action mechanism needs further study. OBJECTIVE:To explore the protective effect and regulatory mechanism of resveratrol on ventricular remodeling in exercise-induced fatigue rats. METHODS:Totally 48 male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into four groups,with 12 rats in each group.Rats in the blank control group were fed conventionally.After one week of adaptive training,rats in the exercise-related fatigue group and exercise-related fatigue with resveratrol supplement group were trained by 6-week weight-bearing swimming(5%body mass lead block fixed in the tail,70%-80%maximal oxygen uptake intensity),6 days a week,60 minutes a day.Rats in the resveratrol supplement group and exercise-related fatigue with resveratrol supplement group were given resveratrol(50 mg/kg per day)by gavage one hour after exercise intervention.Blank control group and exercise-related fatigue group were given the same volume of 2%dimethyl sulfoxide,6 days a week,once a day for 6 weeks.The body mass and heart mass of the rats were measured 24 hours after the last intervention.Plasma creatine kinase isoenzyme,cardiac troponin 1,pyruvate dehydrogenase and uncoupling protein 1 levels in myocardial tissue were determined by ELISA.The mRNA expression levels of ventricular remodeling-related factor Foxp1,transforming growth factor β1 and endothelin 1 were detected by RT-PCR. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the blank control group,the body mass of rats decreased and the heart mass increased in the exercise-related fatigue group(P<0.05).Compared with the exercise-related fatigue group,the body mass and heart mass of the rats reduced in the exercise-related fatigue with resveratrol supplement group(P<0.05).Compared with the blank control group,the levels of creatine kinase isoenzyme,cardiac troponin 1 and uncoupling protein 1 increased(P<0.01),and the level of pyruvate dehydrogenase decreased(P<0.01)in the exercise-related fatigue group.Compared with the exercise-related fatigue group,the levels of creatine kinase isoenzyme,myocardial troponin 1 and uncoupling protein 1 decreased(P<0.05),and the level of pyruvate dehydrogenase increased(P<0.05)in the exercise-related fatigue with resveratrol supplement group.Compared with the blank control group,the expression of the Foxp1 gene decreased(P<0.01),and the expression of transforming growth factor β1 and endothelin 1 gene increased(P<0.01)in the myocardium of the exercise-related fatigue group.Compared with the exercise-related fatigue group,the expression of the Foxp1 gene in the myocardium of the exercise-related fatigue with resveratrol supplement group increased(P<0.01),while the expression of the transforming growth factor β1 and endothelin 1 gene decreased(P<0.05).It is suggested that exercise-induced fatigue can promote myocardial adaptability and cause compensatory hypertrophy.Resveratrol can improve myocardial injury and energy metabolism and delay ventricular energy remodeling in rats.This effect may be related to the regulation of Foxp1/transforming growth factor β1/endothelin 1 signaling pathway.
