BACKGROUND:In recent years,numerous studies have shown that autophagy and mitophagy play an important role in the regulation of bone metabolism.Under non-physiological conditions,mitophagy breaks the balance of bone metabolism and triggers metabolism disorders,which affect osteoblasts,osteoclasts,osteocytes,chondrocytes,bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells,etc. OBJECTIVE:To summarize the mechanism of mitophagy in regulating bone metabolic diseases and its application in clinical treatment. METHODS:PubMed,Web of Science,CNKI,WanFang and VIP databases were searched by computer using the keywords of"mitophagy,bone metabolism,osteoblasts,osteoclasts,osteocytes,chondrocytes,bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells"in English and Chinese.The search time was from 2008 to 2023.According to the inclusion criteria,90 articles were finally included for review and analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Mitophagy promotes the generation of osteoblasts through SIRT1,PINK1/Parkin,FOXO3 and PI3K signaling pathways,while inhibiting osteoclast function through PINK1/Parkin and SIRT1 signaling pathways.Mitophagy leads to bone loss by increasing calcium phosphate particles and tissue protein kinase K in bone tissue.Mitophagy improves the function of chondrocytes through PINK1/Parkin,PI3K/AKT/mTOR and AMPK signaling pathways.Modulation of mitophagy shows great potential in the treatment of bone diseases,but there are still some issues to be further explored,such as different stages of drug-activated mitophagy,and the regulatory mechanisms of different signaling pathways.

Background As one of the key populations in the prevention and treatment of iodine deficiency disorders, it is important to continuously monitor the iodine nutritional level of school-age children. The current reference interval for thyroid volume in China is based on age only, without taking into account differences in individual developmental levels, and the distribution of thyroid volume may vary regionally due to economic, demographic, and environmental factors. The current reference cut-off points for thyroid volume proposed by the World Health Organization are not based on the Chinese population. Objective To understand the iodine nutritional status and distribution of thyroid volume (Tvol) among children aged 8-10 years in Huangpu District, Shanghai, China, to identify impact factors of Tvol, and to propose a reference range upper limit for local thyroid health surveillance, so as to provide a basis for goiter control and prevention. Methods Six hundred children aged 8-10 years in Huangpu District were recruited in 2017, 2020, and 2023, and body height, weight, thyroid volume, urinary iodine, and iodine content of household edible salt were determined. A multilevel model was constructed using population density and area as regional variables, and age, body surface area (BSA), and body mass index (BMI) as potential impact factors for at the individual level, to assess their effects on thyroid volume. Quantile regression of thyroid volume was performed, and the 98th percentile (P₉₈) of thyroid volume was predicted based on age and BSA. Results The iodized salt coverage in the households of surveyed children in 2017, 2020, and 2023 was 72.0%, 57.0%, and 48.0%, respectively, and the iodized salt coverage decreased by year (χ²=24.31, P<0.001). The urinary iodine level of children in 2017 was higher than that in 2020 and 2023 (χ²=18.77, P<0.001). The Tvol medians of children in 2017, 2020, and 2023 were 2.29, 2.49, and 2.97 mL, respectively, and the Tvol increased by year (χ²=60.04, P<0.001). The proportion of goiter was higher in children in 2023 than in 2017 and 2020 (χ²=6.57, P<0.05). Sex differences were not statistically significant for urinary iodine levels, thyroid volume, and goiter. The median Tvol was 2.26, 2.58, and 2.76 mL in children of 8, 9, and 10 years old respectively, and the Tvol increased with age (χ²=49.02, P <0.001). Tvol was positively correlated with age, BSA, and BMI with correlation coefficients of 0.2846, 0.3723, and 0.2950, respectively. The final quantile regression model showed that the strongest effect of BSA was associated with the 98th percentile of Tvol. Multilevel models considering population density or area as regional variables failed to achieve convergence. Conclusion To establish the upper limit of the reference interval for thyroid volume of healthy children in Huangpu District, the effects of age and BSA should be considered at the individual level, and the upper limit of the normal interval for goiter screening is suggested to be the 98th percentile value of BSA at the same age. In addition, the adaptability of population density and regional area as indicators of regional aggregation of thyroid volume distribution still needs to be further explored.

Currently, the drug delivery system (DDS) based on nanomaterials has become a hot interdisciplinary research topic. One of the core issues is drug loading and controlled release, in which the key lever is carriers. Vaterite, as an inorganic porous nano-material, is one metastable structure of calcium carbonate, full of micro or nano porous. Recently, vaterite has attracted more and more attention, due to its significant advantages, such as rich resources, easy preparations, low cost, simple loading procedures, good biocompatibility and many other good points. Vaterite, gained from suitable preparation strategies, can not only possess the good drug carrying performance, like high loading capacity and stable loading efficiency, but also improve the drug release ability, showing the better drug delivery effects, such as targeting release, pH sensitive release, photothermal controlled release, magnetic assistant release, optothermal controlled release. At the same time, the vaterite carriers, with good safety itself, can protect proteins, enzymes, or other drugs from degradation or inactivation, help imaging or visualization with loading fluorescent drugs in vitro and in vivo, and play synergistic effects with other therapy approaches, like photodynamic therapy, sonodynamic therapy, and thermochemotherapy. Latterly, some renewed reports in drug loading and controlled release have led to their widespread applications in diverse fields, from cell level to clinical studies. This review introduces the basic characteristics of vaterite and briefly summarizes its research history, followed by synthesis strategies. We subsequently highlight recent developments in drug loading and controlled release, with an emphasis on the advantages, quantity capacity, and comparations. Furthermore, new opportunities for using vaterite in cell level and animal level are detailed. Finally, the possible problems and development trends are discussed.

ObjectiveTo identify the active constituents of Kaixuan Jiedu core prescription （KXJD） and investigate its effective components and therapeutic targets in the treatment of common psoriasis. MethodsUltra-performance liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry （UPLC-Q-TOF MS） was used to identify and analyze the chemical components of KXJD and its blood-entering chemical components. The chemical components of the single decoction were further identified to clarify the source of the chemical components in KXJD. Then， all identified blood-entering compounds were screened for effective active ingredients through the Swiss ADME database. The active ingredient targets of KXJD were searched on the Swiss Target Prediction platform. The targets of common psoriasis were searched in OMIM， GEO， GeneCards， and DISGNET databases to obtain drug-disease intersection targets. The protein-protein interaction network of intersection targets was constructed using STRING， and then the core blood-entering component-intersection target network of KXJD was constructed. The core target proteins in the network were selected for molecular docking with the core components of KXJD. Small molecules and proteins were pretreated， and appropriate docking sites were selected. AutoDock Vina software was used for continuous local search and repeated iterations to find molecular docking conformations. PyMOL software and LigPlot+ software were used for analysis and visualization. Subsequently， the verification was carried out through animal experiments. SPF-grade male C57 mice were randomly divided into a blank group， a model group， a positive drug methotrexate group， and a KXJD group. In the model group， the methotrexate group， and the KXJD group， imiquimod was applied to the backs of the mice for modeling. The blank group and the model group were administered normal saline by gavage， while the methotrexate group and the KXJD group were respectively administered 1 mg·kg^-1 suspension and 30.42 g·kg^-1 decoction of traditional Chinese medicine by gavage. Five days after administration， the mice were sacrificed， and samples were collected. Hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining was used to observe the skin tissue samples of mice， and the effect of KXJD on the pathological manifestations of psoriasis mice was analyzed. The expression areas of tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α）， cyclooxygenase 2 （PTGS2）， interleukin （IL）-1β， and IL-6 in the skin tissue of mice were detected by immunohistochemistry （IHC）. The mRNA expressions of TNF-α， IL-1β， IL-6， and PTGS2 in the skin tissue of mice were detected by real-time fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR）. ResultsIn this study， 208 compounds in KXJD were identified by UPLC-Q-TOF MS， and 44 compounds were detected in serum， including 28 prototype components and 16 metabolites. 12 blood-entering active components were screened， and 1 153 active component targets and 1 076 psoriasis-related targets were identified. Eighty-five targets in the intersection set were drug-disease common targets. PPI network analysis showed that TNF-α， IL-1β， IL-6， PTGS2， and ALB were the key target proteins. The results of molecular docking showed that the binding ability of （+）-hexylphenylglycolic acid to key target proteins such as PTGS2 was stable， and PTGS2 showed high stability with a variety of core compounds. Compared with those in the blank group， the stratum corneum and epidermis in the model group mice were significantly thickened， and the pathological Baker score of the mice's skin in the model group was significantly higher than that of the blank group （P<0.01）. The expression areas of PTGS2， TNF-α， IL-1β， and IL-6 proteins in the skin tissue of the model group mice were significantly increased （P<0.01）， and the expression levels of PTGS2， TNF-α， IL-1β， and IL-6 mRNA in the skin tissue of the model group mice were significantly elevated （P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， the pathological Baker scores of the methotrexate group and the KXJD group were both decreased （P<0.01）， and the expression areas in the skin tissue of the methotrexate group and the KXJD group were significantly reduced （P<0.05， P<0.01）. The expression levels of PTGS2， TNF-α， IL-1β， and IL-6 mRNA in the skin tissue of the methotrexate group and the KXJD group were significantly decreased （P<0.01）. ConclusionKXJD can effectively improve the skin lesions of psoriasis model mice and reduce the expression of TNF-α， IL-1β， IL-6， and PTGS2 in the skin tissue of psoriasis model mice. PTGS2 has a stable binding ability with a variety of compounds in the decoction， which may be a key target for the treatment of psoriasis. The compound （+）-hexylphenylglycolic acid may play a key role.

ObjectiveTo use bioinformatics technology to screen the molecular patterns and diagnostic biomarkers of ferroptosis closely related to psoriasis， observe the therapeutic effect of Kaixuan Jiedu core prescription on psoriasis and explore its potential mechanism through animal experiments. MethodsPsoriasis microarray data from GEO were analyzed to identify differentially expressed genes （DEGs）. Intersection with a ferroptosis gene set yielded psoriasis ferroptosis-related genes （FRGs）， which underwent correlation， consensus clustering， enrichment， and immune infiltration analyses. Core diagnostic FRGs （Hub-FRGs） were identified using random forest （RF）， support vector machine （SVM）， LASSO regression， Nomogram， and ROC analyses. In vivo， imiquimod （5% cream） induced psoriasis in mice （except controls）. Drug treatment groups received respective doses， while control and model groups received saline via daily gavage for 7 days. Back skin changes were recorded and PASI scored. Hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining assessed histopathology. The levels of ferrous ion （Fe²⁺）， malondialdehyde （MDA）， 4-hydroxynonenal （4-HNE） and free fatty acid （FFA） in skin tissue were detected. The level of reactive oxygen species （ROS） in skin tissue was detected by immunofluorescence. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression of ChaC glutathione-specific γ-glutamyl transferase 1 （CHAC1）， arachidonic acid 12-lipoxygenase β （ALOX12B）， trimotif protein 21 （TRIM21）， proliferation marker （Ki67） and nuclear transcription factor-κB （NF-κB） protein. ResultsAnalysis of GSE30999 identified 2 100 DEGs and 24 FRGs. Gene Ontology （GO） and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes （KEGG） enrichment revealed 1 000 biological functions and 75 pathways. After cluster analysis， combined with three machine learning algorithms， Nomogram and ROC curve analysis， the core Hub-FRGs （CHAC1， ALOX12 B， TRIM21） were obtained. Immunoinfiltration showed inactive memory CD4⁺T cells and activated dendritic cells abundance significantly correlated with Hub-FRGs. In vivo， model group vs. control showed significantly increased PASI/Baker scores （P<0.05）， epidermal hyperkeratosis， inflammatory infiltration， and elevated levels of Fe²⁺， MDA， 4-HNE， FFA， ROS， CHAC1， ALOX12B， TRIM21， Ki67， and NF-κB （P<0.05）. Drug groups vs. model group exhibited significantly reduced scores （P<0.05）， alleviated skin lesions， and decreased levels of Fe²⁺， MDA， 4-HNE， FFA， ROS， Hub-FRGs， Ki67， and NF-κB （P<0.05）. ConclusionKaixuan Jiedu core prescription can significantly improve the skin pathological injury of psoriasis mice， showing good therapeutic and repair effects， and its mechanism may be related to regulating the expression of ferroptosis genes CHAC1， ALOX12B and TRIM21， which are closely related to the pathogenesis of psoriasis.

Emergence agitation （EA） is a common complication after general anesthesia， especially in children and adolescents. Remifentanil， as a short-acting μ-receptor agonist， has become an important drug for the prevention and treatment of EA due to its rapid recovery and low risk of respiratory depression. This article reviews the mechanism of action and clinical research progress of remifentanil in the prevention and treatment of EA. Its mechanism of action involves the inhibition of pain signals mediated by traditional μ-receptor activation and potential new mechanism based on neural-endocrine-immune network， including regulation of microglial inflammatory pathways， and the modulation of cytokines and chemokines，etc. Clinical studies have shown that remifentanil can significantly shorten the recovery time， reduce the incidence of EA， and further optimize the analgesic effect and recovery quality by combining with other drugs （such as local anesthetics， sedatives， and opioid drugs）. Future research should further explore the mechanism of action of remifentanil， optimize clinical treatment strategies， and conduct large- scale clinical trials to standardize the drug use plan， while paying attention to its long-term effects and the development of multimodal treatment plans to promote the further development of EA prevention and treatment plans.

ObjectiveTo investigate the potential machanism of Xiaozhong Zhitong Mixture （消肿止痛合剂， XZM） in the treatment of diabetes foot ulcer （DFU）. MethodsFifty SD rats were randomly divided into blank group， model group， XZM group， inhibitor group， XZM plus inhibitor group （combination group）， with 10 rats in each group. Except for the blank group， rats were fed with high-sugar， high-fat， high-cholesterol diet， intraperitoneally injected with streptozotocin， and subjected to skin defect to establish DFU model. After successful modeling， the XZM group and the combination group were given 1 ml/（100 g·d）of XZM by gavage， while the blank group， model group， and inhibitor group were all given an equal volume of 0.9% sodium chloride injection by gavage. Thirty minutes later， the inhibitor group and the combination group were intraperitoneally injected with 5 mg/（kg·d） of Notch1 inhibitor DAPT. All groups were treated once a day. After 14 days of administration， the skin tissue from the dorsal foot of the blank group rats and wound tissue from the other groups were collected. The pathological changes of granulation tissue in the wound were detected using hematoxylin eosin （HE） staining. The microvascular density （MVD） in wounds was detected through immunohistochemical staining. Real time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction （RT-PCR） and western blotting were used to detect the mRNA and protein levels of Notch1 homolog （Notch1）， Delta-like ligand 4 （Dll4）， Delta-like ligand 4 （VEGF）， and angiopoietin 2 （Ang-2）， respectively. ResultsHistological results showed that the epidermal structure in the dorsal foot skin tissue of the rats in the blank group was intact. In the wound tissue of the model group， the epidermis exhibited excessive keratinization， vacuolar cytoplasm， and a large number of inflammatory cells infiltrating the tissue， while in the XZM group， a large amount of scab formation was observed in the epidermis， with no significant inflammatory cell infiltration and a noticeable increase in fibroblasts. In the combination group and the inhibitor group， partial epidermal scab formation was observed in the wound tissue with a small amount of inflammatory cell infiltration. Compared to those in the blank group， the MVD in the wound tissue increased in the model group， as well as the mRNA expression and protein levels of Notch1 and Dll4， while VEGFA and Ang-2 mRNA expression and protein levels significantly decreased （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. Compared to those in the model group， the MVD in the wound tissue of all medication groups significantly increased， and the mRNA and protein levels of Notch1 and Dll4 decreased， while VEGFA and Ang-2 mRNA expression and protein levels increased （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. Compared to the XZM group， the inhibitor group and the combination group showed decreased MVD in wound tissue， increased Notch1 and Dll4 mRNA and protein levels， and decreased expression of VEGFA and Ang-2 mRNA and proteins （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. ConclusionXZM can effectively promote wound healing in DFU rats， and its mechanism of action may be related to the inhibition of Dll4/Notch1 signaling pathway in the wound tissue， therey promoting angiogenesis.

Objective To evaluate the surgical efficacy of unilateral pneumonectomy for the treatment of tuberculous destroyed lung, analyze the causes of severe postoperative complications, and explore clinical management strategies. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of patients with tuberculous destroyed lung who underwent unilateral pneumonectomy at the Public Health Clinical Center of Chengdu from 2017 to 2023. Postoperative severe complications were statistically analyzed. Patients were divided into a non-severe complication group and a severe-complication group, and the causes, management, and outcomes of complications were analyzed. Results A total of 134 patients were included, comprising 69 males and 65 females, with a mean age of 17-73 (40.43±12.69) years. There were 93 patients undergoing left pneumonectomy and 41 patients undergoing right pneumonectomy. Preoperative sputum smear was positive in 35 patients, all of which converted to negative postoperatively. There were 58 patients with hemoptysis preoperatively, and none experienced hemoptysis postoperatively. Postoperative incisional infection occurred in 8 (5.97%) patients, and postoperative pulmonary infection in 26 (19.40%) patients. Severe postoperative complications occurred in 17 (12.69%) patients, including empyema in 9 (6.72%) patients, bronchopleural fistula with empyema in 1 (0.75%) patient, severe pneumonia in 3 (2.24%) patients, postpneumonectomy syndrome in 1 (0.75%) patient, chylothorax in 1 (0.75%) patient, ketoacidosis in 1 (0.75%) patient, and heart failure with severe pneumonia in 1 (0.75%) patient. Perioperative mortality occurred in 2 (1.49%) patients, both of whom underwent right pneumonectomy. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that a history of ipsilateral thoracic surgery, concomitant Aspergillus infection, and greater blood loss were independent risk factors for severe complications following unilateral pneumonectomy for tuberculous destroyed lung (P<0.05). Conclusion Unilateral pneumonectomy for patients with tuberculous destroyed lung can significantly improve the clinical cure rate, sputum conversion rate, and hemoptysis cessation rate. However, there is a certain risk of severe perioperative complications and mortality, requiring thorough perioperative management and appropriate management of postoperative complications.
