Osteosarcoma (OS), a highly malignant primary tumor, poses significant threats. Chemotherapy remains the main treatment approach but is limited by low drug bioavailability, poor permeability, and notable side effects. Herein, a near-infrared light (NIR)-driven and GSH-responsive poly(ethylene glycol)-SS-polystyrene-doxorubicin and platinum nanoparticles (PSPDP) nanomotor, wherein disulfide bonds served as GSH sponsors and platinum nanoparticles as producers of reactive oxygen species (ROS) to induce cell apoptosis, combined with NIR-driven propulsion to enhance the inhibitory effect of encapsulated doxorubicin (DOX).

Injury caused by excess reactive oxygen species (ROS) may lead to susceptibility to bacterial infection and sustained inflammatory response, which are the major factors impeding diabetic wound healing. By utilizing optimal anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and antibacterial biomaterials for multifunctional wound dressings is critical in clinical applications. In this study, a novel electrospun PLGA/MoS@Pd nanofiber membrane was synthesized by encapsulating antioxidant and near-infrared (NIR) responsive MOS@Pd nanozymes in PLGA nanofibers to form a multifunctional dressing for diabetic wound repair.

Neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a critical digestive disorder frequently affecting premature infants. Characterized by intestinal inflammation caused by activated M1 macrophages, modulation of macrophage polarization is considered a promising therapeutic strategy for NEC. It has been demonstrated that the growth factor-like protein progranulin (PGRN), which plays roles in a number of physiological and pathological processes, can influence macrophage polarization and exhibit anti-inflammatory characteristics in a number of illnesses.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Pearl oyster () is used in Chinese traditional medicine use in photoprotective, anti-inflammatory, and wound treatment.Aim of the study: This study explored whether the mucus protein of Pearl oyster (protein of , PMP) affects human skin fibroblast (HSF) proliferation, migration, collagen-related gene expression related to collagen formation, and in vivo healing effects.

Materials And Methods: The PMP component was analyzed by LC-MS/MS.

Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) is implicated in intestinal inflammation and intestinal blood flow regulation with a paradoxical effect on the pathogenesis of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), which is not yet well understood. In the current study, we found that PGE2, EP4, and COX-2 varied at different distances from the most damaged area in the terminal ileum obtained from human infants with NEC. PGE2 administration alleviated the phenotype of experimental NEC and the intestinal microvascular features in experimental NEC, but this phenomenon was inhibited by eNOS depletion, suggesting that PGE2 promoted intestinal microcirculatory perfusion through eNOS.

Nicotinamide phosphoribosyl transferase (NAMPT) is associated with various NAD+ -consuming enzymatic reactions. The precise role in intestinal mucosal immunity in necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is not well defined. Here, we examined whether NAMPT inhibition by the highly specific inhibitor FK866 could alleviate intestinal inflammation during the pathogenesis of NEC.

Hypoxia inducible factor (HIF)-1α could be stabilized by Grx1 deletion, which is implicated critical in the pathogenesis of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). Until now, the stabilization of HIF-1α by glutathionylation to regulate the pulmonary microcirculation in BPD is not well addressed. In this study, we investigated whether the HIF-1α stabilization modulated by Grx1 ablation could ameliorate the pathological changes in the mouse model of BPD, including angiogenesis and alveolar formation.

Article Synopsis
  • Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths globally, with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) constituting 80% of cases and typically treated with surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy, but these can have adverse side effects.
  • The combination of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) with conventional therapies shows promise in enhancing treatment efficacy for NSCLC, prompting research into the chemical compounds and mechanisms of TCM.
  • The study analyzed 78 TCM on NSCLC cells, identifying key genes and pathways involved, and highlighted three new TCM candidates that could serve as potential natural anticancer drugs.

Background: Traditional exercise [supervised exercise (SE)] intervention has been proved to be one of the most effective ways to improve metabolic health. However, most exercise interventions were on a high-cost and small scale, moreover lacking of the long-term effect due to low engagement. On the other hand, it was noteworthy that gamification and social incentives were promising strategies to increase engagement and sustain exercise interventions effects; as well as mobile technologies such as WeChat also can provide an appropriate platform to deploy interventions on a broader, low-cost scale.

Gamification and social incentives are promising strategies to increase the effectiveness of web-based physical activity (PA) interventions by improving engagement. In this study, we designed a PA intervention integrating gamification and social incentives based on the most popular social networking service in China, WeChat. A controlled trial involving 52 Chinese undergraduate students was implemented to evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention.

Background: Individuals with high sexual compulsivity are preoccupied with their sexual desire to such an extent that it interferes with their normal daily life and can inhibit self-control. Previous studies have found a close association between sexual compulsivity and condomless sex among different populations; however, no studies have investigated this among unmarried female migrant workers in China. This study aimed to validate the Sexual Compulsivity Scale (SCS) for appropriate use and examine the association between sexual compulsivity and condomless sex in this target population.

Article Synopsis
  • This study investigates the factors that affect older people's willingness to enroll in nursing homes in Shanghai, given the low occupancy rates and increased demand for long-term care.
  • Researchers conducted a cross-sectional observational study, gathering data through face-to-face interviews with 641 residents over the age of 60 in various community health centers across urban, suburban, and rural areas of Shanghai.
  • Results revealed that a person's attitude, social influences, and perceived value-added services significantly impact their intention to enroll, with stigma about nursing homes having a particularly strong indirect effect, highlighting unique cultural considerations for eldercare in China and similar Asian contexts.

In order to explore the correlation between the medicinal properties,efficacy and application in the same genetic relationship,explain the scientific connotation of the medicinal properties and effects of traditional Chinese medicines(TCM),promote the academic development of the theory of traditional Chinese medicines,and provide reference for the research and development of the traditional Chinese medicines of a same genus. In this paper, a literature study of ancient and modern works of Chinese herbal medicine was conducted to investigate the correlation between the properties, meridians tropism, efficacy and application of Alpinia officinarum, A. katsumadai, Galangae Fructus and Alpinae Oxyphyllae Fructus, four kinds of Alpinia Chinese medicines.The results showed that the similar properties of these four kinds of Alpinia Chinese medicines included that they were acrid, warm,and mainly getting into the spleen and stomach channels; the similar efficacies included that dispelling cold,relieving pain,warming stomach,anti-nausea,anti-diarrheal,reinforcing spleen to promote digestion and other effects; in application aspects, the similarities were that they were all mainly used in treatment of catching cold or spleen deficiency induced by abdominal pain,vomiting,diarrhea,diet indigestion, etc.

Spatial locality brings the advantages of computation speed-up and sequence reuse to molecular computing. In particular, molecular walkers that undergo localized reactions are of interest for implementing logic computations at the nanoscale. We use molecular spider walkers to implement logic circuits.
