Background:
The immune system plays a critical role in the development and progression of osteoporosis and fractures. However, the causal relationships between antibody immune responses, immune cells, and these bone conditions remain unclear. This study aimed to explore these relationships using Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis.
Methods:
We collected complete blood count data from patients with fractures and healthy individuals and analyzed their differences. Then, we conducted a 2-sample, 2-step MR analysis to investigate the causal effects of antibody immune responses on osteoporosis and fractures, using inverse-variance weighted (IVW) as the primary method. We also explored whether immune cells mediate the pathway between antibodies and osteoporosis or fractures. Finally, we analyzed the functions and expression levels of key genes involved.
Results:
Overall, the fracture group exhibited increased white blood cell count, absolute neutrophil count, absolute monocyte count, platelet count, and their respective proportions, while absolute lymphocyte count, absolute eosinophil count, absolute basophil count, red blood cell count, and their proportions were decreased. We identified 44 causal relationships between antibodies and osteoporosis or fractures, with 7 supported by multiple MR methods, and 5 showing odds ratios significantly deviating from 1 in the IVW analysis. Epstein-Barr virus-related antibodies had a notable impact on osteoporosis and fractures. The human leukocyte antigen (HLA) gene family, particularly HLA-DPB1, emerged as a significant risk factor. However, immune cells were not found to mediate these effects.
Conclusions
This study elucidated the causal relationships between antibody immune responses, immune cells, and osteoporosis or fractures. The HLA gene family plays a crucial role in the interaction between antibodies and these bone conditions, with HLA-DPB1 identified as a key risk gene. Immune cells do not serve as mediators in this process. These findings provide valuable insights for future research.

Objective To explore the mediating role of occupational well-being in the relationship between professional identity and safety behavior among nurses. Methods A total of 1 006 nurses from ten tertiary general hospitals in eight provincial administrative regions were selected as the research subjects using convenient sampling method. Their safety behavior, professional identity and occupational well-being were investigated using Nurse Safety Behavior Scale, Nurse Professional Identity Scale and Occupational Well-being Scale. Structural equation modeling was performed using AMOS 26.0 to examine the mediating effect of occupational well-being in the relationship between professional identity and safety behavior among nurses. Results The scores for safety behavior, professional identity, and occupational well-being were (53.0±6.1), (123.7±21.2) and (90.8±13.1), respectively. Safety behavior was positively correlated with both professional identity and occupational well-being (correlation coefficients were 0.50 and 0.50, respectively, both P<0.01). Professional identity was positively correlated with occupational well-being (correlation coefficient was 0.51, P<0.01). The multiple linear regression analysis results showed that the higher the professional identity and occupational well-being of nurses, the higher the level of safety behavior (both P<0.05). The result of mediating effect shows that the total effect of occupational identity on safety behavior was 0.498 [95% confidence interval (CI) was 0.405-0.576], and occupational well-being played a mediating role between professional identity and safety behavior among nurses with the mediation effect of 0.156 (95%CI was 0.112-0.205), accounting for 31.33% of the total effect. Conclusion The safety behavior of nurses is at a moderate level. Both professional identity and occupational well-being can affect the safety behavior of nurses. Professional identity can increase the safety behavior of nurses by affecting occupational well-being.

ObjectiveTo compare the effects of Taxillus chinensis from different hosts with different meridian affinity on bone microstructure and bone metabolism in ovariectomized osteoporotic rats, and investigate its mechanism of action. MethodEighty-eight specific-pathogen-free (SPF)-grade female Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were selected and randomly divided into 11 groups: sham-operated group, model group, low-, medium- and high-dose groups of T. chinensis from Morus alba (2.5, 5, and 10 g·kg-1), low-, medium- and high-dose groups of T. chinensis from Cinnamomum cassia (2.5, 5, and 10 g·kg-1), and low-, medium- and high-dose groups of T. chinensis from C. burmannii (2.5, 5, and 10 g·kg-1). After 12 weeks of drug intervention, the rats were examined for proximal femur bone density and bone microstructure using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and micro-computed tomography (Micro-CT). Histopathological changes in rat femur were observed by the hematoxylin-eosin staining (HE). Contents of serum estradiol (E2), bone Gla protein (BGP), bone alkaline phosphatase (BALP), tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase 5b (TRACP-5b) and pre-collagen type Ⅰ amino-terminal protopeptide (PINP) were measured by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR) was employed to detect the messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) expressions of bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2), Smad1, Smad9 and recombinant runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2) in rat humerus. Western blot was used to detect the protein expressions of BMP-2, p-Smad1/5/9 and Runx2 in rat humerus. ResultCompared with that in the sham-operated group, the femur microstructure of rats in the model group was significantly disrupted, with significant decreases in bone mineral density (BMD) value, bone volume fraction (BV/TV), trabecular number (Tb.N), and trabecular thickness (Tb.Th) (P<0.01), and significant increases in trabecular separation (Tb.Sp) and structure model index (SMI) (P<0.01). The serum levels of BGP, BALP, TRACP-5b and PINP were significantly increased (P<0.05, P<0.01), and E2 levels were significantly decreased (P<0.01). The mRNA expressions of BMP-2, Smad1, Smad9, and Runx2 were significantly decreased in rat humerus (P<0.01), and the protein expressions of BMP-2, p-Smad1/5/9, and Runx2 were significantly reduced (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the administration groups of T. chinensis from different hosts all elevated the BMD, BV/TV, Tb.N, Tb.Th, Tb.Sp, and SMI levels in the femur, improved bone microstructure, increased serum E2 levels (P<0.05, P<0.01), lowered the levels of serum BGP, BALP, TRACP-5b, and PINP, upregulated the mRNA expression of BMP-2, Smad1, and Runx2 and upregulated the mRNA expression levels of Smad9 (P<0.05, P<0.01), and upregulated the protein expressions levels of BMP-2, p-Smad1/5/9, and Runx2 (P<0.01). The best effect was observed in the group of T. chinensis from C. cassia. ConclusionT. chinensis from different hosts improved osteoporosis in ovariectomized rats, with the group of T. chinensis from C. cassia being the most potent among the administered groups, and its treatment of osteoporosis may regulate the balance of bone conversion by regulating BMP/Smad signaling pathway.

Levetiracetam (LEV) is the second generation of broad-spectrum anti-epileptic drug. LEV has the advantages of rapid absorption, short half-life, precise efficacy, good tolerance and few drug interactions. In order to improve the clinical efficacy of LEV, and reduce the occurrence of adverse reactions, children, pregnant women, the elderly, and patients with renal insufficiency should receive therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM). Clinically, the samples are usually plasma or serum, and the TDM methods are mostly immunoassay or chromatography. There is currently no consensus on the effective concentration range of LEV, and the correlation between plasma concentration and adverse reactions is also unclear. The main factors affecting LEV plasma concentration include age, pregnancy, and patient compliance. How to interpret TDM results and adjust dosage based on the results will be the focus of future work.
