BACKGROUND:Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty has been paid more and more attention because of its advantages of fewer traumas,less blood loss,less complications,faster recovery,excellent knee function and high prosthetic survival rate.Most of the relevant reports focused on its clinical effect,but the changes in the levels of relevant inflammatory cytokines in patients after unicompartmental knee arthroplasty were rarely reported. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of unicompartmental knee arthroplasty in patients with medial compartment osteoarthritis of the knee and the changes of interleukin-1,interleukin-6,and tumor necrosis factor-α levels. METHODS:A total of 30 patients with medial compartment osteoarthritis of the knee who received unicompartmental knee arthroplasty from September 2021 to March 2023 and met the inclusion criteria were selected as the study subjects.Medial angle of proximal tibia,femoral and tibial angle,pain visual analog scale score,hospital for special surgery score,knee joint range of motion,synovial fluid interleukin-1,interleukin-6,and tumor necrosis factor-α levels before and after surgery were compared and statistically analyzed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)All 30 patients had grade I wound healing.All patients were followed up for more than 6 months after surgery.There were no complications such as prosthesis loosening and dislocation of prosthesis liner in all patients.(2)The medial proximal tibia angle and the femoral and tibial angles measured after operation were significantly improved(P<0.05).(3)The visual analog scale score,hospital for special surgery score and range of motion measured at 1,3,and 6 months after operation were better than those before operation(P<0.05),and showed a gradual improvement(P<0.05).(4)The levels of interleukin-1,interleukin-6,and tumor necrosis factor-α in synovial fluid at 3 and 6 months after operation were decreased gradually compared with those before operation(P<0.05)and showed a gradual downward trend at each time point after operation.(5)It is indicated that unicompartmental knee arthroplasty can effectively treat medial compartment osteoarthritis of the knee,significantly relieve pain,restore knee joint function,improve knee varus deformity and lower limb strength line,and reduce the levels of inflammatory cytokines interleukin-1,interleukin-6,and tumor necrosis factor-α in joints to a certain extent.

Vitamin D regulates calcium and phosphorus homeostasis, promotes bone growth, development and mineralization, therefore plays an important role in maintaining bone health. In recent years, the extraskeletal effects of vitamin D have received increasing attention with further research. Studies have shown that vitamin D is involved in the occurrence and development of various diseases, and vitamin D deficiency may lead to increased disease risk. However, there is still controversy over whether supplementing vitamin D brings definitely clinical benefits. This article reviews the extraskeletal effects and related mechanisms of vitamin D in obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, immunoregulation, oncogenesis and sarcopenia, providing information for further study on its biological activities and clinical applications.

Parkinson′s disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease in middle-aged and elderly people. In addition to motor symptoms, PD also has many non motor symptoms, such as dysosmia, constipation, cognitive impairment, etc. Among them, dysosmia is a common non motor symptom of early Parkinson′s disease. Research has confirmed that olfactory dysfunction (OD) can appear before the typical clinical symptoms of PD, which is of great significance to the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. However, at present, the pathogenesis of OD is still unclear, and the inspection methods have not been unified, and there is no complete cure. This article reviews the latest research progress of dysosmia in Parkinson′s disease.

Essential tremor (ET) is a common dyskinesia disease characterized by tremor. ET is clinically heterogeneous. In addition to the motor symptoms with tremor as the main manifestation, it also includes non-motor symptoms such as neuropsychiatric symptoms (anxiety, depression), personality changes, sleep disorders, etc. Among them, anxiety and depression are the most common, and gradually worsen as the disease progresses, causing adverse effects on the quality of life of patients. Therefore, the early clinical full text of looking for ET psychiatric symptoms seems to have no content of the evaluation scale and is irrelevant. It is suggested that removing biomarkers plays an important role in the diagnosis and treatment of ET patients. Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) describes the SLC1A2 gene associated with ET, and the EAAT2 or GLT1 encoded by this gene is associated with the anxiety and depression phenotypes of ET patients in non-motor symptoms. Up to now, the pathogenesis of ET patients is not clear, but many reports confirm that genetic factors play an important role in the pathogenesis of ET. Among them, SLC1A2 is expected to become a biomarker of the neuropsychiatric phenotype of the disease, providing a basis for clinical workers to take corresponding intervention measures in time. This article reviews SLC1A2 gene and essential tremor.

Objective: To investigate the molecular mechanisms of lncRNA XIST/miR-34a-5p/SIRT6 axis regulating the proliferation and metastasis of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) cells. Methods: Specimens of tumor tissues and paracancer tissues of 47 patients with OSCC, who visited the Qingdao Stomatological Hospital from March 2013 to March 2018, were enrolled in this study. qPCR was performed to measure the mRNA expressions of lncRNA XIST, miR-34a-5p and SIRT6 in OSCC tissues and cell lines. WB was performed to measure the protein levels of SIRT6, Ki67, pcDNA, cleaved-caspase3, cleaved-caspase8, E-cadherin and vimentin in OSCC tissues and cell lines. CCK-8 assay was performed to observe the effect of lncRNA XIST knockdown on proliferation of Cal-27 and Tca-8113 cells; Tanswell assay was performed to detect migration and invasion of Cal-27 and Tca-8113 cells; flow cytometry was performed to detect the apoptosis of Cal-27 and Tca-8113 cells; and dual luciferase reporter assay was performed to verify the relationship between lncRNAXIST and miR-34a, or miR-34a and SIRT6. Results: Expressions of lncRNAXIST and SIRT6 were up-regulated in OSCC tissues and cell lines (all P<0.05), reversely, miR-34a-5p was down-regulated in OSCC tissues and cell lines (P<0.01). lncRNA XIST knockdown significantly suppressed OSCC cells proliferation, migration and invasion, and induced apoptosis of OSCC cells (all P<0.01); however, simultaneous transfection with miR-34a-5p inhibitor or pcDNA-SIRT6 vector exerted opposite effect. lncRNA XIST knockdown significantly increased cell proliferation and metastasis related protein expression in OSCC cells (all P< 0.01), and simultaneous transfection with miR-34a-5p inhibitor or pcDNA-SIRT6 vector exerted opposite effect. In addition, lncRNA XIST directly targeted miR-34a-5p, and miR-34a-5p targeted SIRT6, lncRNA XIST upregulated SIRT6 expression via inhibiting miR34a-5p (P<0.01). Conclusion: Taken together, lncRNA XIST/miR-34a-5p/SIRT6 axis regulates the proliferation and metastasis of OSCC cells and provides potential therapeutic targets for OSCC.
