Osteoporosis is a common senile bone metabolism disease, clinically characterized by decreased bone mass, destruction of bone microstructure, increased bone fragility, and easy fracture. It tends to occur in the elderly and postmenopausal women, seriously threatening the quality of life and physical and mental health of the elderly. At present, the treatment of osteoporosis is mainly based on oral western medicines, such as calcium, Vitamin D, and bisphosphonates. Still, there are drawbacks such as a long medication cycle and many adverse reactions. In recent years, due to the advantages of multi-component, multi-pathway, and multi-target, some traditional Chinese medicines and effective ingredients can regulate the osteogenic and osteoclastic differentiation process in both directions and are widely used in the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis. Hippophae rhamnoides is a commonly used herbal medicine, and its fruits are rich in flavonoids, polyphenols, fatty acids, vitamins, and trace elements, which have been proven to have a good anti-osteoporosis effect. Isorhamnetin is the main effective ingredient of Hippophae rhamnoides fruits, which has many pharmacological effects such as anti-inflammation, anti-oxidative stress, anti-aging, and anti-tumor. Studies have shown that isorhamnetin can participate in the regulation of bone metabolism and has a good anti-osteoporosis effect. However, the pharmacological effects and related mechanisms of isorhamnetin against osteoporosis have not been systematically summarized. Therefore, this paper reviewed the pharmacological effects and related mechanisms of isorhamnetin against osteoporosis by referring to relevant literature to provide more basis for the development and application of isorhamnetin.

LIN28 is an RNA binding protein with important roles in early embryo development, stem cell differentiation/reprogramming, tumorigenesis and metabolism. Previous studies have focused mainly on its role in the cytosol where it interacts with Let-7 microRNA precursors or mRNAs, and few have addressed LIN28's role within the nucleus. Here, we show that LIN28 displays dynamic temporal and spatial expression during murine embryo development. Maternal LIN28 expression drops upon exit from the 2-cell stage, and zygotic LIN28 protein is induced at the forming nucleolus during 4-cell to blastocyst stage development, to become dominantly expressed in the cytosol after implantation. In cultured pluripotent stem cells (PSCs), loss of LIN28 led to nucleolar stress and activation of a 2-cell/4-cell-like transcriptional program characterized by the expression of endogenous retrovirus genes. Mechanistically, LIN28 binds to small nucleolar RNAs and rRNA to maintain nucleolar integrity, and its loss leads to nucleolar phase separation defects, ribosomal stress and activation of P53 which in turn binds to and activates 2C transcription factor Dux. LIN28 also resides in a complex containing the nucleolar factor Nucleolin (NCL) and the transcriptional repressor TRIM28, and LIN28 loss leads to reduced occupancy of the NCL/TRIM28 complex on the Dux and rDNA loci, and thus de-repressed Dux and reduced rRNA expression. Lin28 knockout cells with nucleolar stress are more likely to assume a slowly cycling, translationally inert and anabolically inactive state, which is a part of previously unappreciated 2C-like transcriptional program. These findings elucidate novel roles for nucleolar LIN28 in PSCs, and a new mechanism linking 2C program and nucleolar functions in PSCs and early embryo development.

External apical root resorption is among the most common risks of orthodontic treatment, and it cannot be completely avoided and predicted. Risk factors causing orthodontic root resorption can generally be divided into patient- and treatment-related factors. Root resorption that occurs during orthodontic treatment is usually detected by radiographical examination. Mild or moderate root absorption usually does no obvious harm, but close attention is required. When severe root resorption occurs, it is generally recommended to suspend the treatment for 3 months for the cementum to be restored. To unify the risk factors of orthodontic root resorption and its clinical suggestions, we summarized the theoretical knowledge and clinical experience of more than 20 authoritative experts in orthodontics and related fields in China. After discussion and summarization, this consensus was made to provide reference for orthodontic clinical practice.

To explore the effect of high fat diet on proteome in mice stomachs, we constructed a model in which the mice were fed with high fat diet as the high fat diet (HFD) group or normal diet as the control (CTRL) group for 110 days. The stomachs were collected and divided into three regions (forestomach (F), corpus (C) and antrum (A)) for protein extraction and mass spectrometry analysis. Of all 9 307 identified proteins in two groups, 4 066 proteins (HFD: 3 832, CTRL: 3 654) were strictly identified by at least one unique peptide and identified twice in three replicates. Using gene ontology (GO) and interaction network analysis we analyzed differentially expressed proteins (fold change≥2) in two groups or between regions. In the whole stomach tissues, proteins up-regulated in HFD group mainly were associated with protein stabilization and protein transport. Differentially expressed proteins between regions showed that forestomach was related to the biological process of keratinization and actin assembly, while corpus and antrum mainly performed digestive function. Compared with forestomach, the corpus and antrum were more affected by the diet. Though there was no significant effect on the basic digestive function of the stomach, proteins that were involved in protein transport and lipid metabolism-related biological processes were significantly highly expressed in HFD group.

Chronic hepatitis B (CHB) is a major infectious disease which threatens people’s health around the world. Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) has become an important index for evaluating the treatment and prognosis of patients with CHB. Many studies abroad have shown that the HRQoL of patients with CHB is influenced by various factors. Disease severity, clinical symptoms, and low self-efficacy are important influencing factors for patients’ quality of life. Anti-viral therapy, proper physical therapy, or psychological intervention can significantly improve the HRQoL of community CHB patients, and HRQoL is even significantly improved in patients undergoing liver transplantation one year ago. These studies provide valid evidence for antiviral therapy for hepatitis B patients and liver transplantation techniques from the psychological level. At present, there still lacks studies on HRQoL of CHB patients in China. This article summarizes the measurement tools for HRQoL widely used in recent years in China and foreign countries, reviews the research advances in HRQoL in community patients with CHB, and discusses the perspectives for future studies.

OBJECTIVE To study the effect of the ethanol extract of Fructus Psoraleae(EEFP)on endogenous metabolites in rat urine based on metabolomics. METHODS Male SD rats were orally administered with EEFP at the doses of 0.54,1.08 and 1.62 g · kg-1,respectively,once a day for two consecutive weeks. Urine samples were collected for 12 h after the last administration. Data were acquired with the MassLynx software based on ultra-performance liquid chromatography quadrupole-time-of-flight mass spectrometry(UPLC-Q-TOF-MS). The principal component analysis(PCA)and partial least squares-discriminant analysis(PLS-DA)were used to analyze the difference of endogenous metabolites in different groups,then putative biomarkers were found through the orthogonal partial least-squares-discriminant analysis(OPLS-DA),variable importance in the projection(VIP)and t test and their relative intensity were determined. RESULTS The results of PCA showed that samples of each group were clustered,all the groups were separated,and that the distance between the EEFP groups and the blank control group was increased in a dose-dependent manner. The relative contents of p-cresol glucuronide and galactose-beta-1,4-xylose were 40.0 ± 11.2,2.7 ± 2.6,16.8 ± 6.3 and 45.9 ± 16.4,32.6±22.1,8.0±8.3 in the EEFP 0.54,1.08 and 1.62 g·kg-1 groups,respectively,significantly lower than those of the control group,which were 107.0 ± 26.9 and 82.3 ± 13.6(P<0.01),respectively. The relative contents of 5-L-glutamyl-taurine,and gluconolactone were 22.4 ± 10.0,47.6 ± 19.1 and 138.2 ± 18.8,337.3±64.0 in EEFP 1.08 and 1.62 g·kg-1groups,respectively,significantly higher than those of the blank control group,which were 2.6±1.6 and 20.5±6.8,respectively(P<0.01). The relative content of D-pantothenoyl-L-cysteine was 74.2 ± 31.5 in the EEFP 1.62 g · kg-1 group,significantly higher than that in the blank control group(0.6±0.5)(P<0.01). As the dose of EEFP increased,D-pantothenoyl-L-cysteine,5-L-glutamyl-taurine,and gluconolactone had an upward trend(P<0.01),while galactose-beta-1,4-xylose and p-cresol glucuronide had a downward trend(P<0.01). CONCLUSION The two-week administration of EEFP has effect on the endogenous metabolites in urine. The substances identified are mainly related to energy metabolism,taurine,tyrosine and glucose metabolism.
