		                        			From the perspective of the physiological basis of liver and kidney sharing the common source in traditional Chinese medicine(TCM),and by integrating the theory of kidney dominating bone,liver dominating tendon,and meridian sinew of TCM as well as the bone resorption and collapse theory,and non-uniform settlement theory and lower-limb musculoskeletal bowstring structure theory of modern orthopedics,the pathogenesis of osteonecrosis of the femoral head(ONFH)under the system of non-uniform settlement during bone resorption and multidimensional composite bowstring working in coordination with the theory of liver-kidney and muscle-bone was explored.The key to the TCM pathogenesis of ONFH lies in the deficiency of the liver and kidney,and then the imbalance of kidney yin-yang leads to the disruption of the dynamic balance of bone formation and bone resorption mediated by osteoblasts-osteoclasts,which manifests as the elevated level of bone metabolism and the enhancement of focal bone resorption in the femoral head,and then leads to the necrosis and collapse of the femoral head.It is considered that the kidney dominates bone,liver dominates tendon,and the tendon and bone together constitute the muscle-bone-joint dynamic and static system of the hip joint.The appearance of collapse destroys the originally balanced muscle-bone-joint system.Moreover,the failure of liver blood in the nourishment of muscles and tendons further exacerbates the imbalance of the soft tissues around the hip joint,accelerates the collapse of the muscle-bone-joint dynamic and static system,speeds up the process of femoral head collapse,and ultimately results in irreversible outcomes.Based on the above pathogenesis,the systematic integrative treatment of ONFH should be based on the TCM holistic concept,focuses on the focal improvement of internal and external blood circulation of the femoral head by various approaches,so as to rebuild the coordination of joint function.Moreover,attention should be paid to the physical constitution of the patients,and therapy of tonifying the kidney and regulating the liver can be used to restore the balance between osteogenesis and osteoblastogenesis,and to reconstruct the muscle-bone-joint system,so as to effectively delay or even prevent the occurrence of ONFH.

		                        			Tricuspid regurgitation(TR)cases are widely distributed in China.Poor clinical drug efficacy,high surgical risk,and poor prognosis for right heart failure are found in patients with moderate or severe TR.In recent years,with the innovation of valve instruments and the development of technology,transcatheter tricuspid valve treatment could be a new choice for high-risk TR patients in surgery.Many TR animal models have emerged these years for the research of the mechanism of TR and for the clinical verification of instruments.Therefore,this review focuses on how to develop an animal model of TR and discusses the advantages and disadvantages of these techniques.

		                        			This study aimed to evaluate the effects of 2 endoscopic spine surgeries on the biomechanical properties of normal and osteoporotic spines. 
		                        		
		                        			Methods:
		                        			Based on computed tomography images of a healthy adult volunteer, 6 finite element models were created. After validating the normal intact model, a concentrated force of 400 N and a moment of 7.5 Nm were exerted on the upper surface of L3 to simulate 6 physiological activities of the spine. Five types of indices were used to assess the biomechanical properties of the 6 models, range of motion (ROM), maximum displacement value, intervertebral disc stress, maximum stress value, and articular protrusion stress, and by combining them with finite element stress cloud. 
		                        		
		                        			Results:
		                        			In normal and osteoporotic spines, there was no meaningful change in ROM or disc stress in the 2 surgical models for the 6 motion states. Model N1 (osteoporotic percutaneous transforaminal endoscopic discectomy model) showed a decrease in maximum displacement value of 20.28% in right lateral bending. Model M2 (unilateral biportal endoscopic model) increased maximum displacement values of 16.88% and 17.82% during left and right lateral bending, respectively. The maximum stress value of L4–5 increased by 11.72% for model M2 during left rotation. In addition, using the same surgical approach, ROM, maximum displacement values, disc stress, and maximum stress values were more significant in the osteoporotic model than in the normal model.

		                        			In both normal and osteoporotic spines, both surgical approaches were less disruptive to the physiologic structure of the spine. Furthermore, using the same endoscopic spine surgery, normal spine biomechanical properties are superior to osteoporotic spines.

		                        			Objective To investigate the effects of astragaloside Ⅳ(AS-Ⅳ)on axon growth inhibitory factor A(Nogo-A)and its downstream pathway protein RHO-associated coiled spiral kinase 2(ROCK2)in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis(EAE)mice,and to explore the mechanism by which it promotes axon repair and regeneration.Methods EAE model was induced in C57BL/6 female mice by subcutaneous injection of myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein 35-55(MOG35-55).Mice were randomly divided into EAE group and AS-Ⅳ group(n=8 per group).EAE group received intraperitoneal injection of PBS on the 3rd day post-immunization,while AS-Ⅳ group was administered AS-Ⅳ at a dosage of 30mg/(kg.d)once daily,0.2 ml per injection,for 25 consecutive days.On the 28th day post-immunization,the expression levels of growth-associated protein 43(GAP-43),neuronal core antigen(NeuN),microtubule associated protein 2(MAP-2),glial fibroacidic protein(GFAP),and Iba1 in the spinal cord were detected using immunofluorescence assay.Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR(qRT-PCR)was conducted to detect mRNA expression levels of GAP-43,Nogo-A,and Nogo receptor(NgR)genes.Western blotting was utilized to determine the expression levels of GAP-43,Nogo-A,ROCK2,phosphorylated myosin phosphatase(p-MYPT1),B-lymphoblastoma-2(Bcl-2),and Bcl-2 associated X protein(Bax).Results Compared with EAE group,AS-Ⅳ treatment significantly reduced the positive cell expression rates of Iba1 microglia and GFAP astrocyte in spinal cord(P<0.01 and P<0.001,respectively),while it also increased the positive expression rates of NeuN and MAP-2(P<0.001 and P<0.05,respectively).The treatment also upregulated the expression level of anti-apoptotic factor Bcl-2(P<0.001)and downregulated the expression level of pro-apoptotic factor Bax(P<0.05),leading to an increase in Bcl-2/Bax ratio(P<0.05).Furthermore,AS-Ⅳ enhanced the expression of GAP-43 protein(P<0.05)and decreased the mRNA expression levels of neuroregeneration inhibitor Nogo receptor(NgR)and ROCK2 gene(P<0.001,P<0.05,respectively);as well as decreased the expression levels of Nogo-A,ROCK2 and p-MYPT1 proteins(P<0.05,P<0.001).Conclusion AS-Ⅳ may inhibit the activation of microglia and astrocytes and neuronal apoptosis in EAE mice by inhibiting Nogo-A and downstream pathway ROCK 2,thereby promoting the expression of GAP-43,NeuN and MAP-2,alleviating neuronal damage,and facilitating axon repair and regeneration.
