Congenital radioulnar synostosis (CRUS) presents a complex forearm deformity, requiring precise osteotomy planning for anatomical restoration. This study proposes an automatic osteotomy preoperative planning method for forearms with CRUS. Proximal forearm bones are first aligned with the template forearm and then a dual dimensional optimization (DDO) strategy is used to optimize the spatial transformation parameters of the distal fragment. The subsequent optimization aims to maximize the overlap of cross-sections between proximal and distal fragments. Rotational simulations are ultimately conducted to predict postoperative forearm rotational functionality. The DDO strategy effectively restores ideal forearm morphology, with maximum deviations of 1.66 and 2.13 mm for the ulna and radius, respectively. On the coronal, sagittal and transverse planes, the deformity angles of the radius were reduced to 1.35°, 1.39°, 4.83°, respectively, while those of the ulna were reduced to 1.20°, 1.03°, and 8.56°, respectively. Rotation function analysis reveals a noticeable improvement in achievable rotation range compared to plans by senior surgeons. Automated mobilization osteotomy planning, using the DDO strategy, shows potential for individualized CRUS corrective surgery, offering comprehensive and precise preoperative guidance.

Article Synopsis
  • Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is a major cause of kidney failure, largely due to damage in podocytes, which are essential for kidney function.
  • Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) is a key player in protecting cells from oxidative stress, making it a promising target for DKD therapies.
  • The study found that DDO-1039, a new Nrf2 activator, improved kidney health in diabetic mice by reducing podocyte injury, lowering blood sugar levels, and decreasing inflammation, endorsing its potential as a treatment for DKD.

Rational design of peptide inhibitors targeting HSP90-CDC37 protein-protein interaction.

Future Med Chem

January 2024

State Key Laboratory of Natural Medicines & Jiangsu Key Laboratory of Drug Design & Optimization, China Pharmaceutical University, Nanjing, 210009, China.

Specifically blocking HSP90-CDC37 interaction is emerging as a prospective strategy for cancer therapy. Applying a kinase pseudopeptide rationale to the discovery of HSP90-CDC37 protein-protein interaction (PPI) inhibitors. Pseudosubstrates were identified through sequence alignment and evaluated by biolayer interferometry assay, co-immunoprecipitation assay and antiproliferation assay.

Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is an inherited human mental retardation that arises from expansion of a CGG repeat in the Fmr1 gene, causing loss of the fragile X mental retardation protein (FMRP). It is reported that N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR)-mediated facilitation of long-term potentiation (LTP) and fear memory are impaired in Fmr1 knockout (KO) mice. In this study, biological, pharmacological, and electrophysiological techniques were performed to determine the roles of D-aspartate (D-Asp), a modulator of NMDAR, and its metabolizing enzyme D-aspartate oxidase (DDO) in Fmr1 KO mice.

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is an idiopathic inflammatory disease of unknown etiology possibly associated with intestinal inflammation and oxidative stress. Molecular hybridization by combining two drug fragments to achieve a common pharmacological goal represents a novel strategy. The Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1)-nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) pathway provides an effective defense mechanism for UC therapy, and hydrogen sulfide (HS) shows similar and relevant biological functions as well.
