OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of galangin （GLA） on autophagy and apoptosis of chondrocytes in knee osteoarthritis （KOA） rats by regulating the adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase （AMPK）/mammalian target of rapamycin （mTOR）/UNC-51-like kinase 1 （ULK1） signaling pathway. METHODS KOA rat model was constructed and separated into model group， L-GLA， M-GLA， H-GLA groups [subcutaneous injection of 100， 200， 400 μg/kg GLA]， GLA+Compound C group [subcutaneous injection of 400 μg/kg GLA+0.2 mg/kg AMPK inhibitor Compound C]， with 10 rats in each group. Additionally， 10 normally fed rats were selected as the sham operation group. After the last medication， the degree of knee joint swelling of rats in each group was detected； the pathology of knee joints in KOA rats was observed. The serum expressions of matrix metalloproteinase 13 （MMP-13） and interleukin-1β （IL-1β） in KOA rats were detected； the autophagy of chondrocytes in KOA rats was observed； the chondrocyte apoptosis in KOA rats was detected； the phosphorylation of AMPK/mTOR/ULK1 pathway-related proteins in cartilage tissue of knee joint were detected in rats. RESULTS Compared with the sham operation group， the arrangement of articular chondrocytes in the model group was disordered， with nuclear pyknosis and severe fibrosis of the articular cartilage layer， accompanied by a large amount of inflammatory cell infiltration； the degree of joint swelling， the number of autophagic vacuoles and apoptosis rate of chondrocytes， serum levels of MMP-13 and IL-1β， and the phosphorylation of mTOR protein in cartilage tissue of knee joint were all increased significantly （P＜0.05）， while the phosphorylation of AMPK and ULK1 protein were all decreased significantly in cartilage tissue of knee joint （P＜0.05）. Compared with the model group， L- GLA， M-GLA， H-GLA groups showed significant improvement in joint cartilage injury and reduced infiltration of inflammatory cells in rats. The above quantitative indicators were significantly reversed in a dose-dependent manner，except the number of autophagic vacuoles increased significantly （P＜0.05）. Compared with the H-GLA group， the GLA+ Compound C group showed aggravated cartilage tissue of joint cartilage injury and inflammatory cell infiltration in rats， and the above quantitative indicators were reversed significantly （P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS GLA can promote autophagy and inhibit apoptosis of chondrocytes in KOA rats， the mechanism of which may be associated with activating AMPK/mTOR/ULK1 signaling pathway.

BACKGROUND:Synthetic polymers,such as polypropylene and polyester,used for the treatment of abdominal wall defects not only lack biodegradability and bioactivity but also fail to meet the demands of complex and irregular wounds.Therefore,finding bioactive materials with low immunogenicity and good histocompatibility has become a hot spot in the repair of abdominal wall defects. OBJECTIVE:To prepare methacryloyl modified dermal extracellular matrix hydrogel and explore its potential application in abdominal wall defect. METHODS:(1)The porcine dermis was acellular with 0.25%trypsin and 1%Triton X-100 in turn to obtain the dermal extracellular matrix.After pepsin digestion and methacrylic anhydride modification,the methacrylated dermal extracellular matrix hydrogel was formed by photocrosslinking.The microscopic morphology of the hydrogel was observed by scanning electron microscope,and its rheological properties,swelling properties and other physical and chemical properties were tested.(2)Mice fibroblasts(L929)were inoculated into methacrylated dermal extracellular matrix hydrogel to detect the cell compatibility.(3)Totally 12 SD rats were randomly divided into two groups(n=6)to create abdominal wall defect model with peritoneum preserved.The defect site of the polypropylene group was filled with polypropylene material,and the hydrogel group was filled with methacrylated dermal extracellular matrix hydrogel.The wound skin of both groups was covered with polypropylene material.The wound healing was observed and histological analysis was carried out. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Enzymatic hydrolysis had a good decellularization effect on porcine dermis after decellularization,and the original glycosaminoglycans and collagen were well retained.Scanning electron microscope observation revealed that the dermal extracellular matrix hydrogel presented loose and porous structure.The aperture was between 70 and 120 μm.The swelling ratio was(16.88±3.24)%and the water absorption was(94.24±1.11)%.The rheological property test showed that the methacrylated dermal extracellular matrix hydrogel was stable and had shear thinning characteristics,with injectability.(2)CCK-8 assay and live/dead staining showed that methacrylated dermal extracellular matrix hydrogel had good cell compatibility.(3)The results of animal experiments showed that the skin wound healing rate of the experimental group was higher than that of the control group at 7,10,and 14 days after operation(P<0.05).Hematoxylin-eosin and Masson staining of skin and muscle tissue exhibited that compared with the polypropylene group,the skin wound epithelialization,hair follicle formation,collagen fiber arrangement,and neovascularization were better in the hydrogel group 14 days after surgery.The skin wound new tissue structure was similar to the normal tissue at 28 days after surgery,and scar hyperplasia was less.A small amount of muscle regeneration was observed on day 28 after operation.(4)The results show that the methacrylated dermal extracellular matrix hydrogel can promote wound skin healing and muscle tissue regeneration in rats with abdominal wall defect.

ObjectiveTo preliminarily explore the active components and target pathways of Angelicae Sinensis Radix-Polygonati Rhizoma （ASR-PR） herb pair in the treatment of simple obesity through network pharmacology and molecular docking， and to verify and investigate its mechanism of action via animal experiments. MethodsThe chemical constituents and targets of ASR and PR were predicted using the Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database and Analysis Platform （TCMSP）. Targets related to simple obesity were identified by retrieving the GeneCards， Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man （OMIM）， Pharmacogenomics Knowledgebase （PharmGKB）， and DisGeNET databases. The intersection of drug and disease targets was used to construct an active component-target network using Cytoscape software. This network was imported into the STRING database to construct a protein-protein interaction （PPI） network， and topological analysis was conducted to identify core genes. Gene Ontology （GO） analysis and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes （KEGG） pathway enrichment analysis and mapping were performed using the DAVID database and the Microbioinformatics platform. AutoDock 1.5.7 software was used to perform molecular docking between the top five active components and core targets. An animal model of simple obesity was established by feeding C57BL/6J mice a high-fat diet. The mice were administered ASR （2.06 g·kg^-1）， PR （2.06 g·kg^-1）， or ASR-PR （4.11 g·kg^-1） for 10 weeks， while the model group received an equal volume of purified water by gavage. After the administration period， the mice were sacrificed to measure body fat weight and serum levels of total cholesterol （TC）， triglycerides （TG）， high-density lipoprotein （HDL）， and low-density lipoprotein （LDL）. Hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining was used to observe histopathological sections of liver and adipose tissue. Serum levels of leptin， interleukin-6 （IL-6）， and tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α） were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）， and the mRNA expression levels of epidermal growth factor receptor （EGFR） and signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 （STAT3） in liver tissue were detected by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR）. ResultsNetwork pharmacology and molecular docking results indicated that the treatment of simple obesity by ASR-PR may involve the regulation of protein expression of core targets EGFR and STAT3 by its main components MOL009760 （Siberian glycoside A_qt）， MOL003889 （methyl protodioscin_qt）， MOL009766 （resveratrol）， MOL006331 （4′，5-dihydroxyflavone）， and MOL004941 （baicalin）， thereby modulating the PI3K/Akt and JAK/STAT signaling pathways. The animal experiment results showed that compared with the normal group， the model group had significantly increased body weight， body fat weight， and serum levels of TG， TC， TNF-α， IL-6， and leptin （P<0.01）. EGFR mRNA expression was significantly elevated （P<0.05）， while STAT3 mRNA expression was significantly decreased （P<0.01）. Histological analysis revealed disordered hepatic architecture in the model group， with pronounced lipid vacuoles， cytoplasmic loosening， lipid accumulation， and steatosis. Adipocytes in white adipose tissue （WAT） and brown adipose tissue （BAT） of the model group exhibited markedly increased diameters， reduced cell counts per unit area， and irregular morphology. Compared with the model group， the ASR-PR group significantly reduced body weight， body fat weight， serum TC， IL-6， TNF-α， leptin levels， and EGFR mRNA expression （P<0.01）. TG levels were also significantly decreased （P<0.05）， while STAT3 mRNA expression was significantly increased （P<0.01）. Histopathological improvements included reduced size and number of hepatic lipid vacuoles and restoration of liver cell morphology toward that of the normal group. The diameter of adipocytes significantly decreased， and the number of adipocytes per unit area increased. ConclusionASR-PR may regulate the expression of key target proteins such as EGFR and STAT3 via its core active components， modulate the PI3K/Akt and JAK/STAT signaling pathways， repair damaged liver and adipose tissues， and thereby alleviate the progression of obesity in mice.

Objective:To explore the application effect of ultrasound-guided pectoralis Ⅱ(PECS-Ⅱ)blocks anesthesia in benign tumor resection of breast.Methods:A total of 60 female patients who underwent benign tumor resection of breast were selected from Maternity and Child Care Center of Qinhuangdao from January 2021 to December 2021,and they were divided into the thoracic nerve block group(nerve block group)and local infiltration anesthesia group(local anesthesia group)according to the random number table method.The nerve block group used ultrasound-guided PECS-Ⅱ anesthesia,and the local anesthesia group used local infiltration anesthesia for tumor.The hemodynamic indicators,postoperative visual analogue score,first intervention time of postoperative analgesic drugs,and the use of sufentanil within 24 hours after surgery were compared and analyzed between the two groups of patients.Results:The average operation time of the nerve block group was(127.32±34.56)min,and the difference of that between the nerve block group and local anesthesia group(128.11±33.84)min was no statistically significant(P>0.05).The differences of the heart rate(HR)and mean arterial pressure(MAP)before anesthesia(T0)between two groups of patients were not statistically significant(P>0.05).The HR and MAP levels at the time of skin incision(T1),at the 0.5 h after the surgery was conducted(T2)and the time of completing surgery(T3)in nerve block group were significantly lower than those of the local anesthesia group,respectively.The differences were statistically significant(tHR=5.709,5.836,5.662,tMAP=3.501,3.223,3.128,P<0.05),respectively.Compared with the local anesthesia group,the pain level at the same time point in the nerve block group was significantly reduced,and the difference was statistically significant(t=4.501,6.575,8.197,8.262,P<0.05),respectively.The intervention time of analgesic medication at the first time of the nerve block group was significantly later than that of the local anesthesia group,and the consumption of sufentanil within 24 hours after surgery of the nerve block group was also significantly reduced,and the differences of them were statistically significant(t=13.741,9.482,P<0.05),respectively.Conclusion:Ultrasound-guided PECS-Ⅱ can effectively relieve postoperatively early pain in patients with benign tumors of breast,and delay the intervention time of postoperative analgesic medication,and reduce the intake amount of opioid drugs.

OBJECTIVE To study the effects of Zigui yichong formula on premature ovarian insufficiency （POI） in mice through glycolysis metabolic pathway. METHODS Eighty SPF C57BL/6N female mice were divided into normal group， model group， Zigui yichong formula group （14.175 g/kg）， Zigui yichong formula+2-deoxy-D-arabino-hexose （2-DG） group （Zigui yichong formula 14.175 g/kg + glycolysis inhibitor 2-DG 100 mg/kg）， with 20 mice in each group. Except for the normal group， POI model mice were induced by intraperitoneal administration of cyclophosphamide in the other groups. After the model was successfully established， each group was given corresponding drugs. HE staining was employed to observe the pathomorphological changes in ovarian tissue and to count follicles at all developmental stages； radioimmunoassay was conducted to measure the serum levels of estradiol （E2）， anti-Müllerian hormone （AMH）， and follicle-stimulating hormone （FSH）； TUNEL assay was employed to detect apoptosis in ovarian granulosa cells of mice； the activities of hexokinase （HK）， pyruvate kinase （PK） and lactate dehydrogenase （LDH） were detected by colorimetry； Western blot and real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR were employed to analyze the protein and mRNA expressions of B-cell lymphoma-2 （Bcl-2）， Bcl-2 associated X protein （Bax）， caspase-3， HK2， pyruvate kinase M2 （PKM2）， and lactate dehydrogenase A （LDHA）. RESULTS Compared with model group， the number of primordial follicles， growing follicles， antral follicles and granulosa cells were increased significantly（P＜0.05）， and granulosa cells arranged neatly， but the number of atretic follicles and granulosa cells apoptosis were decreased significantly in Zigui yichong formula group （P＜0.05）； the serum levels of E2 and AMH， the activities of HK， PK and LDH， protein and mRNA expressions of Bcl-2， HK2， PKM2 and LDHA were increased significantly （P＜0.05）； the serum levels of FSH， the protein and mRNA expressions of Bax and caspase-3， Bax/Bcl-2 ratio were decreased significantly （P＜0.05）. 2-DG could reverse the improvement effects of Zigui yichong formula on the above indexes of POI model mice. CONCLUSIONS Zigui yichong formula may inhibit the apoptosis of ovarian granulosa cells， reduce follicle atresia and improve ovarian reserve function by promoting glycolysis levels in POI model mice.

OBJECTIVE To Analysis of CT and MRI imaging features of arrested pneumatisation of the sphenoid sinus and differentiate from osteogenic and chondrogenic tumours of the region.METHODS Retrospective analysis of CT and MRI findings was performed of 13 patients with sphenoid sinus arrested pneumatisation and 20 patients with osteogenic and chondrogenic tumours and tumor like lesions in the same period.Evaluation indicators included location,size,density,presence of expansive changes,calcification,cortical bone changes,MRI signal characteristics,signal changes after fat suppression,degree of enhancement,and statistical analysis was conducted.RESULTS Finally,the location includes the sphenoid body(4 cases),pterygoid process(3 cases)and multiple involved areas(6 cases).The arrested pneumatisation area is mainly characterized by fat density or mixed density of adipose and soft tissue.The longest diameter of the arrested pneumatisation zone is 0.8-4.1 cm.There is internal calcification(7 cases)and without bone expansive changes(13 cases).Cases with intact bone cortex(13 cases);On MRI T1WI,high signal(11 cases),equal signal(2 cases),on T2WI,high signal(10 cases),equal signal(3 cases).Decreased signal after fat suppression(13 cases),no significant enhancement(10 cases),and slight enhancement(3 cases).CONCLUSION The arrested pneumatisation of sphenoid sinus is a rare anatomical variation characterized by a mixed density of fat or soft tissue,intact bone cortex,without bone expansive changes,decreased signal of MRI fat suppression,and no obvious enhancement,which will help to differentiate from osteogenic and chondrogenic tumours of the region.

Purpose To study the relationshiPbetween CD88 expression and clinicopathologic features and epithelial-mesenchymal transition(EMT)in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.Methods TCGA and TIMER database were used to analyze the expression level of CD88 in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and adjaecnt esophageal squamous cell epithelium and its relationship with epithelial-mesenchymal transition.Par-affin specimens were collected from 199 patients with clinically diagnosed esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.Immunohisto-chemical EnVision method was used to detect the expression of CD88 and EMT-related proteins in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and adjacent tissues,the relationship between CD88 expression and clinicopathological features,prognosis and EMT in ESCC tumors was analyzed.Results There were 86 cases with high CD88 expression and 113 cases with low CD88 expres-sion.The expression level of CD88 in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma was significantly higher than that of paracancerous tis-sue(P＜0.001).The group with high CD88 expression had lower ESCC differentiation level(P＜0.001)and higher T stage(P=0.03).The 5-year survival of patients with high CD88 ex-pression was significantly lower than that of patients with low CD88 expression(P=0.002).Cox univariate and multivariate analysis showed that CD88 expression was an independent prog-nostic factor for overall survival of patients with esophageal squa-mous cell carcinoma(P=0.013).The high expression of CD88 was negatively correlated with E-cadherin(r=-0.146,P=0.039),and positively correlated with vimentin(r=0.387,P=1.61e-08)and N-cadherin(r=0.304,P=1.3e-05).Con-clusion CD88 is highly expressed in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.CD88 may affect the occurrence,development,in-vasion and metastasis of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma through EMT,and it might be used as a prognostic marker for e-sophageal squamous cell carcinoma patients.

Objectives:To compare the clinical efficacy and safety of uni-portal endoscopic lumbar interbody fusion by using larger-diameter endoscope for single-level lumbar disease via transforaminal approach versus transfacet approach.Methods:46 patients underwent single-level uni-portal endoscopic lumbar interbody fu-sion from June 2018 to February 2022 were enrolled.18 of the patients were male and 28 were female.The mean age was 60.9±10.5 years old(40-80 years).The follow-up time was 3-47 months.Patients were divided into two groups according to the surgical approach,18 of which were included in the transforaminal group,and the remaining 28 were included in the transfacet group,and a full spinal endoscope of 7.1mm inner-di-ameter working-channel was applied to all the patients.The clinical result was evaluated before surgery,at 3d after surgery and the final follow-up,by Oswestry disability index(ODI),visual analogue scale(VAS)for back pain and leg pain,and Japanese Orthopaedic Association(JO A)score.The decompression and implant were evaluated by anteroposterior and lateral X-ray plain film and lumbar CT at 3d after operation.Bridwell criteria were used to evaluate the fusion rate based on CT images for patients followed up for more than 6 months after surgery.Results:No significant differences were found in age,gender,diagnosis,preoperative in-tervertebral height,surgical segment,preoperative ODI,VAS and JOA score between the two groups(P＞0.05).72.2％of the patients in transforaminal group complained unilateral radicular symptom,while 64.3％of the patients in transfacet group suffered from bilateral radicular symptoms(P=0.020).The average operation time was 327.7±89.9min in the transforaminal group,significantly longer than the 385.9±96.7min in the transfacet group(P=0.047),and the mean length of hospital stay in the transforaminal group was 14.8±6.0d,shorter than that of 19.5±7.8d in the transfacet group(P=0.038).75％of the patients in transfacet group underwent unilater-al laminotomy with bilateral spinal canal decompression(ULBD).The ODI scores,back and leg pain VAS scores and JOA score were significantly improved postoperatively and at the final follow-up in both groups(P＜0.05),while no statistical differences between groups(P＞0.05).Postoperative intervertebral height significantly increased in both group(P＜0.001),but no statistical difference was found between groups(P＞0.05).The compli-cation rate was comparable between two groups,without severe intraoperative or postoperative complication.A-mong the 21 patients who were followed up for more than 6 months and received CT examinations,20(95.2％)presented bony fusion at surgical segment,and there was no statistical difference between the two groups in fusion rate.Conclusions:Both the transforaminal approach and the transarticular protrusion ap-proach are safe and effective for the single-level lumbar interbody fusion under single-hole coaxial large channel endoscopy,and the transforaminal approach results in shorter operation time and shorter hospital stay.

Objectives:To explore the clinical outcomes of single-level full-endoscopic lumbar interbody fu-sion for degenerative lumbar spine disorders combined with osteoporosis.Methods:24 consecutive patients with degenerative lumbar spine disorders who underwent single-level full-endoscopic lumbar interbody fusion and were detected by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry(DXA)during hospitalization for bone mineral density(BMD)from June 2018 to February 2022 were enrolled,including 7 males and 17 females with an average age of 66.0±9.9 years old(range 44-80 years).The follow-up period was 21.6±12.6(3-47)months after oper-ation.And the patients were divided into two groups of osteoporosis group(containing 8 osteoporotic cases)and control group(containing 16 non-osteoporotic cases).Anti-osteoporosis therapy was initiated on the diagnosis of osteoporosis.The surgery was performed using a 7.1mm inner-diameter full-endoscope.The general data and perioperative parameters were compared between the two groups.Before operation,on 3d after operation and at final follow-up,visual analogue scale(VAS)score for back and leg pain,Japanese Orthopaedic Association(JOA)score and Oswestry disability index(ODI)were used for evaluating clinical outcomes.Digital radiography(DR)and computed tomography(CT)were performed on postoperative 3d for neural decompression and implant position assessment.For patients who received DR examination,cage subsidence and screw loosening were recorded at the final follow-up;For patients who were followed-up for 6 months and more and examined with CT,fusion rate was evaluated.The complications were recorded and compared between the two groups.Re-sults:No significant differences were found in age,gender,diagnosis,preoperative intervertebral height,surgi-cal segment,preoperative VAS scores,JOA scores and ODI between the two groups.The average of the low-est T value was-3.2±0.6 for osteoporosis group,lower than the-1.4±0.8 for control group(P=0.000).The mean operative time was 429.9±135.2min for osteoporosis group,more than the 327.4±68.2min for the controls(P=0.020).There was no significant difference in intraoperative imaging assistance,bleeding,number of cases received unilateral laminotomy for bilateral decompression(ULBD),postoperative intervertebral height and length of hospital stay between groups.The VAS scores for back and leg pain,JOA scores and ODI improved post-operatively and at the final follow-up in both groups comparing with those values before operation(P＜0.05),and there was no significant difference between groups,respectively.The postoperative 3d intervertebral height in both groups increased after surgery(P＜0.01),and none significant difference was found between groups.In the osteoporosis group,asymptomatic cage subsidence happened in 1 case with severe osteoporosis(T=-4.4)due to intraoperative endplate damage during cage implantation,but no symptoms were observed,therefore no spe-cial treatment was given;And dural tear and subsequent incomplete nerve root injury happened to another case in the osetoporosis group,whose symptoms were relieved after symptomatic treatment such as neurotro-phy.18 patients received lumbar DR at final follow-up,and 10 patients received CT evaluation at more than 6 months'follow-up,no significant difference was found in cage subsidence and screw loosening rate and fusion conditions between groups(P=1.000).Conclusions:Single-level full-endoscopic lumbar interbody fusion is safe and effective in the short-term for the treatment of degenerative lumbar spine disorder combined with osteoporosis.
