    Abstract Tissue defect is one of the significant challenges encountered in clinical practice. Nanomaterials, including nanoparticles, nanofibers, and metal-organic frameworks, have demonstrated an extensive potential in tissue regeneration, offering a promising avenue for future clinical applications. Nonetheless, the intricate landscape of the inflammatory tissue microenvironment has engendered challenges to the efficacy of nanomaterial-based therapies. This quandary has spurred researchers to pivot towards advanced nanotechnological remedies for overcoming these therapeutic constraints. Among these solutions, microenvironment-sensitive nanozymes have emerged as a compelling instrument with the capacity to reshape the tissue microenvironment and enhance the intricate process of tissue regeneration. In this review, we summarize the microenvironmental characteristics of damaged tissues, offer insights into the rationale guiding the design and engineering of microenvironment-sensitive nanozymes, and explore the underlying mechanisms that underpin these nanozymes' responsiveness. This analysis includes their roles in orchestrating cellular signaling, modulating immune responses, and promoting the delicate process of tissue remodeling. Furthermore, we discuss the diverse applications of microenvironment-sensitive nanozymes in tissue regeneration, including bone, soft tissue, and cartilage regeneration. Finally, we shed our sights on envisioning the forthcoming milestones in this field, prospecting a future where microenvironment-sensitive nanozymes contribute significantly to the development of tissue regeneration and improved clinical outcomes.

    Abstract Background: Breast cancer is regarded as a highly malignant neoplasm in the female population, posing a significant risk to women's overall well-being. The prevalence of breast cancer has been observed to rise in China, accompanied by an earlier age of onset when compared to Western countries. Breast cancer continues to be a prominent contributor to cancer-related mortality and morbidity among women, primarily due to its limited responsiveness to conventional treatment modalities. The diagnostic process is challenging due to the presence of non-specific clinical manifestations and the suboptimal precision of conventional diagnostic tests. There is a prevailing uncertainty regarding the most effective screening method and target populations, as well as the specificities and execution of screening programs.
    Aim: To identify diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers for breast cancer.
    Methods: Overlapping differentially expressed genes were screened based on Gene Expression Omnibus (GSE36765, GSE10810, and GSE20086) and The Cancer Genome Atlas datasets. A protein-protein interaction network was applied to excavate the hub genes among these differentially expressed genes. Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway analyses, as well as gene set enrichment analyses, were conducted to examine the functions of these genes and their potential mechanisms in the development of breast cancer. For clarification of the diagnostic and prognostic roles of these genes, Kaplan-Meier and Cox proportional hazards analyses were conducted.
    Results: This study demonstrated that calreticulin, heat shock protein family B member 1, insulin-like growth Factor 1, interleukin-1 receptor 1, Krüppel-like factor 4, suppressor of cytokine signaling 3, and triosephosphate isomerase 1 are potential diagnostic biomarkers of breast cancer as well as potential treatment targets with clinical implications.
    Conclusion: The screening of biomarkers is of guiding significance for the diagnosis and prognosis of the diseases.

    Abstract Fracture healing is a complex biological process that involves the orchestrated interplay of various cells and molecular signaling pathways. Among the key players, macrophages have emerged as critical regulators of fracture repair, influencing inflammation, tissue remodeling, and angiogenesis. Recent advances in hydrogel-based therapeutics have provided exciting opportunities to leverage the modulatory effects of macrophages for improving fracture healing outcomes. In the present study, we review the importance of macrophages in fracture repair and their potential therapeutic role in hydrogel-based interventions. We discuss the molecular mechanisms underlying macrophage-mediated effects on fracture healing, and how hydrogels can be utilized as a platform for macrophage modulation. Furthermore, we highlight the translation of hydrogel-based therapies from bench to bedside, including preclinical and clinical studies, and the challenges and opportunities in harnessing the therapeutic potential of macrophages in fracture repair. Overall, understanding the importance of macrophages in fracture healing and the potential of hydrogel-based therapeutics to modulate macrophage responses can pave the way for developing innovative approaches to improve fracture healing outcomes.

    Abstract Background: Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a neonatal intestinal necrotizing disease caused by various factors in newborns. Sulforaphane (SFN) has a strong anti-inflammatory ability and a certain protective effect on intestinal diseases.
    Objective: NEC is a common developed gastrointestinal exigency in an untimely baby. SFN is a naturally originated isothiocyanate that has beneficial effects on the intestinal system.The purpose of this study is to study the protective effect of SFN on endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS)-related NEC.
    Methods: The newborn mice were randomly divided into control (n = 15), NEC (n = 20), and NEC+SFN (n = 18) groups. Mice in NEC and SFN+NEC groups were injected with 0.1 μl normal saline or 20 mg/kg/d SFN, respectively. After that, the weight and survival of the mice were recorded every day. Then the mice were sacrificed after 96 h of modeling; ileum tissue and blood samples were collected for qPCR, Western blot, ELISA, HE staining, TUNEL staining, and immunohistochemistry assays.
    Results: SFN significantly inhibited the mRNA expression of BIP, CHOP, IL-1β and IL-6, and protein expression of Bax, Caspase-3, Caspase-9 and CHOP, and promoted the expression of Bcl-2 in ER-induced NEC mice intestinal tissues (P<0.01). Meanwhile, SFN could suppress the serum levels of IL-8, IL-10, IL-6, TNF-α, and IL-1β, and positive expression of TLR4 and NF-κB (P<0.01), and promote the serum levels of IL-10. HE staining showed that SFN alleviated the NEC intestinal tissue injury, and TUNNEL staining showed that SFN could reduce the rate of NEC apoptotic cells (P<0.01). Moreover, SFN treatment improved the body weight and survival rate in NEC mice.
    Conclusion: SFN could effectively protect against ERS-induced inflammation and apoptosis in NEC mice.

    Abstract Intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP) is a common liver disorder that generally occurs during the second or third trimester of pregnancy. It rarely causes any harm to the mother; however, it can result in short- and long-term complications in the offspring. Therefore, it is crucial to diagnose and treat this condition to avoid poor pregnancy outcomes. The identification of novel markers with potential diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic utility in ICP has gained attention. Noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs), including microRNA, long noncoding RNA, and circular RNA, are a type of transcripts that are not translated into proteins. They possess vital biological functions, including transcriptional and translational regulation and DNA, RNA, and protein interactions. The pathogenesis of ICP is related to the aberrant expression of several circulating or placenta-related ncRNAs. In this review, we summarized all recent findings on ncRNAs and ICP and outlined the concepts that form the basis for the early diagnosis and targeted treatment of ICP.

    Abstract We present the case of a 72-year-old man who was referred to our department for treatment of pain on the anteromedial infrapatellar side of the right knee with sensory disturbance that began 2 years earlier. The patient previously underwent right knee arthroscopy at another hospital for a meniscus injury 2 years earlier, which relieved his knee pain, but pain and discomfort near the incision of the medial portal persisted. Given this situation, various physical treatments, such as ice compress, were administered postoperatively. However, the symptom was only partially relieved before discharge. Subsequently, the patient visited two other hospitals and began taking oral pregabalin and duloxetine for treatment of the pain based on a diagnosis of right common peroneal nerve injury. The pain in the same dermatomal distribution was slightly relieved, but a withdrawal reaction was observed. However, the results of an ultrasound at our hospital indicated that the right medial quadriceps femoris tendon showed a hypoechoic area suggesting inflammatory changes. Physical examination of the right knee detected atrophy of the quadriceps femoris muscle, decreased muscle strength (M4), obvious tenderness in the medial side, radiating pain along the anterior tibia, and sensory disturbance (S3+); the results of a drawer test, McMurray test, pivot shift test, and lateral stress test were negative. Based on the aforementioned evidence, a diagnosis was made of injury to the infrapatellar branch of the saphenous nerve, after which neurolysis of the nerve in question was carried out. An enlarged incision was made along the original medial approach. Scar hyperplasia was observed after careful separation of the subcutaneous tissue. During neurolysis, branches were found wrapped in the scar; their continuity and integrity were confirmed after relief. The released nerve was placed in a physiological position. The patient's pain was clearly relieved, and numbness disappeared on the first postoperative day. At 1-month follow-up, all symptoms were found to have resolved.

    Abstract Background: Digital necrosis (DN) is a serious complication after replantation. However, predisposing factors, as reported less, remain controversial. The purpose of this study was to explore risk factors of necrosis after single-digit replantation by means of a retrospective study.
    Methods: Patients who underwent single-digit replantations in our hospital between June of 2014 and October of 2020 were included. The authors regarded DN as the failure group and digital survival as the success group. The factors were conducted by univariate and multivariate analysis.
    Results: The survival rate in our study was 78.8% (745 of 946). The results of univariate analysis showed that there were significant differences in the levels of D-dimer (first), menstrual cycle, injury level, and starting and finishing time of surgery between different groups. In multivariate analysis, age, injury level, duration of surgery, and D-dimer (first) were identified as the risk factors for DN in the entire and male population. In addition, regarding male patients, ischemia time was also found to be a risk factor for DN. In terms of female patients, the menstrual period and menopause were related to DN.
    Conclusions: Many factors, including age, ischemia time, injury level, menstrual period, menopause, and duration of surgery, were related to DN after digital replantation. D-dimer (first) was first found as a predicted factor for DN. In addition, these results also showed that the starting and ending times of surgery were associated with DN by univariate analysis. Preoperative measures should be taken to lower the incidence of DN.
    Clinical question/level of evidence: Risk, III.
