GPR126, also known as ADGRG6, is one of the most deeply studied aGPCRs. Initially, GPR126 was thought to be a receptor associated with muscle development and was primarily expressed in the muscular and skeletal systems. With the deepening of research, it was found that GPR126 is expressed in multiple mammalian tissues and organs, and is involved in many biological processes such as embryonic development, nervous system development, and extracellular matrix interactions. Compared with other aGPCRs proteins, GPR126 has a longer N-terminal domain, which can bind to ligands one-to-one and one-to-many. Its N-terminus contains five domains, a CUB (complement C1r/C1s, Uegf, Bmp1) domain, a PTX (Pentraxin) domain, a SEA (Sperm protein, Enterokinase, and Agrin) domain, a hormone binding (HormR) domain, and a conserved GAIN domain. The GAIN domain has a self-shearing function, which is essential for the maturation, stability, transport and function of aGPCRs. Different SEA domains constitute different GPR126 isomers, which can regulate the activation and closure of downstream signaling pathways through conformational changes. GPR126 has a typical aGPCRs seven-transmembrane helical structure, which can be coupled to Gs and Gi, causing cAMP to up- or down-regulation, mediating transmembrane signaling and participating in the regulation of cell proliferation, differentiation and migration. GPR126 is activated in a tethered-stalk peptide agonism or orthosteric agonism, which is mainly manifested by self-proteolysis or conformational changes in the GAIN domain, which mediates the rapid activation or closure of downstream pathways by tethered agonists. In addition to the tethered short stem peptide activation mode, GPR126 also has another allosteric agonism or tunable agonism mode, which is specifically expressed as the GAIN domain does not have self-shearing function in the physiological state, NTF and CTF always maintain the binding state, and the NTF binds to the ligand to cause conformational changes of the receptor, which somehow transmits signals to the GAIN domain in a spatial structure. The GAIN domain can cause the 7TM domain to produce an activated or inhibited signal for signal transduction, For example, type IV collagen interacts with the CUB and PTX domains of GPR126 to activate GPR126 downstream signal transduction. GPR126 has homology of 51.6%-86.9% among different species, with 10 conserved regions between different species, which can be traced back to the oldest metazoans as well as unicellular animals.In terms of diseases, GPR126 dysfunction involves the pathological process of bone, myelin, embryo and other related diseases, and is also closely related to the occurrence and development of malignant tumors such as breast cancer and colon cancer. However, the biological function of GPR126 in various diseases and its potential as a therapeutic target still needs further research. This paper focuses on the structure, interspecies differences and conservatism, signal transduction and biological functions of GPR126, which provides ideas and references for future research on GPR126.

ObjectiveTo observe the clinical efficacy and safety of Tangning Tongluo tablets in the treatment of nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy （DR）. MethodsFourteen research centers participated in this study， which spanned a time interval from September 2021 to May 2023. A total of 240 patients with nonproliferative DR were included and randomly assigned into an observation group （120 cases） and a control group （120 cases）. The observation group was treated with Tangning Tongluo tablets， and the control group with calcium dobesilate capsules. Both groups were treated for 24 consecutive weeks. The vision， DR progression rate， retinal microhemangioma， hemorrhage area， exudation area， glycosylated hemoglobin （HbA1c） level， and TCM syndrome score were assessed before and after treatment， and the safety was observed. ResultsThe vision changed in both groups after treatment （P<0.05）， and the observation group showed higher best corrected visual acuity （BCVA） than the control group （P<0.05）. The DR progression was slow with similar rates in the two groups. The fundus hemorrhage area and exudation area did not change significantly after treatment in both groups， while the observation group outperformed the control group in reducing the fundus hemorrhage area and exudation area. There was no significant difference in the number of microhemangiomas between the two groups before treatment. After treatment， the number of microhemangiomas decreased in both the observation group （Z=-1.437， P<0.05） and the control group （Z=-2.238， P<0.05）， and it showed no significant difference between the two groups. As the treatment time prolonged， the number of microhemangiomas gradually decreased in both groups. There was no significant difference in the HbA1c level between the two groups before treatment. After treatment， the decline in the HbA1c level showed no significant difference between the two groups. The TCM syndrome score did not have a statistically significant difference between the two groups before treatment. After treatment， neither the TCM syndrome score nor the response rate had significant difference between the two groups. With the extension of the treatment time， both groups showed amelioration of TCM syndrome compared with the baseline. ConclusionTangning Tongluo tablets are safe and effective in the treatment of nonproliferative DR， being capable of improving vision and reducing hemorrhage and exudation in the fundus.

Objective To investigate the feasibility and efficacy of mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) in the management of chronic pain among military personnel stationed in plateau area of China. Methods Military personnel who had been stationed at an altitude ranging from 3 300 to 3 500 meters for over four months and suffered from chronic pain were selected as the study subjects by the judgment sampling method. A total of 51 individuals were assigned to the control group, and 53 individuals were assigned to the MBSR group using the random number table method. Individuals of the control group received conventional pain management, while the MBSR group received an additional eight-week MBSR training alongside conventional management. Pain, mindfulness levels, mood state, and psychological resilience of individuals were assessed before and 12 weeks after the intervention using the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI), the Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire-Short Form, the Profile of Mood States, and the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale. Results After the intervention, the BPI scores, and the scores of the pain intensity and pain impact dimensions of individuals in the MBSR group were lower than those in the control group (all P<0.01). The reductions in these three scores were greater in the MBSR group than those in the control group (all P<0.01). Meanwhile, individuals in the MBSR group showed superior improvements in the mindfulness level score, the total mood disturbance, and the psychological resilience score compared with the control group (all P<0.05). The multiple linear regression analysis results showed that the pre-intervention BPI score, post-intervention changes in mindfulness levels, headache and lower back pain were influencing factors for the improvement of the BPI score in the MBSR group individuals (all P<0.05). Conclusion Conducting MBSR in military units in plateau areas is an effective approach for alleviating chronic pain. The pain relief effect is more pronounced in individuals with higher initial pain scores, a greater increase in mindfulness scores after training, and those with headache and low back pain.

OBJECTIVE To analyze the correlation of the peak blood concentration （cmax） of compound sulfamethoxazole （TMP/SMZ） and its metabolite N-acetyl sulfamethoxazole （NSMZ） with clinical efficacy and adverse reactions in critically ill patients. METHODS The data of critically ill patients treated with TMP/SMZ in various ICU of Hainan General Hospital from December 2023 to January 2025 were retrospectively collected. The patients were divided into success group and failure group based on the treatment outcome. Simple linear regression and Spearman correlation analysis were used to analyze the correlation of TMP cmax， SMZ cmax， and NSMZ cmax with clinical efficacy and adverse reactions. The receiver operating characteristic curve （ROC） was used to determine the cutoff values of cmax for predicting the occurrence of adverse reactions. RESULTS Among critically ill patients with an acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ （APACHE-Ⅱ） ≥15 points 24 h of check-in at ICU， SMZ cmax of success group was significantly higher than failure group （P＜0.05）. The daily total dose of TMP/SMZ was positively correlated with TMP cmax and SMZ cmax（ P＜0.05）. TMP cmax was significantly correlated with hepatotoxicity and nephrotoxicity， SMZ cmax with hepatotoxicity， and NSMZ cmax with nephrotoxicity （P＜0.05）. The cutoff values of TMP cmax for predicting nephrotoxicity and hepatotoxicity were 7.25 μg/mL and 6.63 μg/mL， respectively. The cutoff value of SMZ cmax for predicting hepatotoxicity was 138.00 μg/mL， and that of NSMZ cmax for predicting nephrotoxicity was 60.76 μg/mL. CONCLUSIONS Among critically ill patients with an APACHE-Ⅱ ≥15 points 24 h of check-in at ICU， SMZ cmax is associated with treatment success. Hepatotoxicity risk significantly increases when TMP cmax ≥6.63 μg/mL or SMZ cmax ≥138.00 μg/mL； nephrotoxicity risk significantly increases when TMP cmax ≥7.25 μg/mL or NSMZ cmax ≥60.76 μg/mL.

[Objective]To investigate the effects of amyloid precursor protein intracellular domain(AICD)on neurogenesis,learning and memory in Alzheimer's disease(AD)model mice.[Methods]Immunofluorescence staining was used to detect the proliferation and differentiation of neural progenitor cells(NPCs)cultured in vitro,numbers of neural stem cells and neurons in embryonic cerebral cortex and adult hippocampal dentate gyrus(DG)derived from AICD transgenic mice.The morris water maze was applied to evaluate learning and memory ability of old AICD transgenic mice,and bioinformatics to predict and analyze the underlying molecular mechanisms.[Results]Immunofluorescence staining showed that NPCs,numbers of neural stem cells and neurons in embryonic cerebral cortex and hippocampal DG region were decreased(P<0.05),indicating that AICD inhibited neurogenesis in AD model mice at different periods.Morris water maze revealed that AICD increased escape latency of AD model mice,reduced numbers of platform crossing and neuron numbers in DG region(P<0.05).Bioinformatics results found 1 723 targets of AICD involved in the regulation of neurogenesis,learning and memory in the pathogenesis of AD,in which the key targets were TP53,CTNNB1,Akt1,EGFR,SRC,EP300,HDAC1,STAT3,HSP90AA1 and MAPK1.KEGG pathway annotation analysis showed that signaling pathways like PI3K-Akt and HIF-1 play a crucial role in the regulation of neurogenesis,learning and memory by AICD.[Conclusions]AICD could inhibit hippocampal neurogenesis in AD model mice,thus impair their learning and memory ability,which may be related to PI3K-Akt and HIF-1 signaling pathways.This study provides an experimental basis for further understanding the role of AICD in the pathogenesis of AD.

Congenital joint synostosis (CJS) is a functional impairment resulting from failure in joint morphogenesis during embryonic development. Clinically, it may be classified as syndromic (sCJS) and non-syndromic (nsCJS) disorders. Common sCJS include chromosomal disorders such as Klinefelter syndrome and single-gene disorders like Apert/Pfeiffer/Crouzon syndromes, Holt-Oram syndrome, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, and Radial-ulnar synostosis with thrombocytopenia, presenting with multiple system/organ anomalies. By contrast, nsCJS manifest with only joint abnormalities, affecting one or multiple joints. This review has focused on human nsCJS and its genetic etiology. To date, variants in seven genes ( NOG, GDF5, FGF9, GDF6, FGF16, SMAD6, and MECOM) have been identified as causative factors for nsCJS. This review has focused on such genes and provided a comprehensive review for the clinical phenotypes, genetic patterns, common variants, and underlying mechanisms associated with nsCJS based on a literature review. In addition, it has also analyzed other candidate genes for nsCJS within the context of relevant signaling pathways involved in joint morphogenesis.
