    Abstract Impaired macrophage polarization or the high levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced by high glucose conditions and bacterial infection are the primary factors that make healing diabetic wounds difficult. Here, we prepared an OGLP-CMC/SA hydrogel with a double network structure that was synthesized with oxidized Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharide (OGLP), sodium alginate (SA) and carboxymethyl chitosan (CMC) as the matrix. The results showed that the OGLP-CMC/SA hydrogel had good mechanical properties, tissue adhesion, oxidation resistance and biocompatibility. Moreover, the hydrogel could effectively improve the proliferation and migration of fibroblasts, also can enhance antibacterial properties. We found that the OGLP-CMC/SA hydrogel can promote the polarization of M1 macrophages towards the M2 and decrease intracellular ROS levels, effectively reduce the inflammatory response, and promote epidermal growth, the development of skin appendages and collagen deposition in wounds, which hasten diabetic wound healing. Therefore, using this versatile biologically active new hydrogel network constructed with OGLP provides a promising therapeutic strategy for chronic diabetic wound repair.

    Abstract Dactylicapnos scandens (D. scandens) is an ethnic medicine commonly used for the treatment of analgesia. In this study, an integrated strategy was proposed for the quality evaluation of D. scandens based on "phytochemistry-network pharmacology-effectiveness-specificity" to discover and determine the quality marker (Q-marker) related to analgesia. First, phytochemical analysis was conducted using UPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS and a self-built compound library, and 19 components were identified in D. scandens extracts. Next, the "compounds-targets" network was constructed to predict the relevant targets and compounds related to analgesia. Then, the analgesic activity of related compounds was verified through dynamic mass redistribution (DMR) assays on D2 and Mu receptors, and 5 components showed D2 antagonistic activity with IC

    Abstract Polysaccharides are widely distributed in natural sources from monocytic microorganisms to higher animals, and are found in a variety of biological activities in recent decades. Natural polysaccharides have the characteristics of large molecular weight, diverse composition, and complex structure, so their purification and structural analysis are difficult issues in research. Chromatography as a powerful separation technique, plays an irreplaceable role in the separation and structural analysis of natural polysaccharides, especially in the purification of polysaccharides, the separation of hydrolysates, and the analysis of monosaccharide composition. The separation mechanisms and application of different chromatographic methods in the studies of polysaccharides were summarized in this review. Moreover, the advantages and drawbacks of various chromatography methods were discussed as well.

    Abstract In this study, we conducted a systematic assessment of the effectsof Deoxynivalenol (DON) and T-2 mycotoxins on the developmental processes and structural integrity of murine femurs, considering both the isolated and synergistic effects of these toxins. To this end, we divided 72 male mice into nine groups, each subjected to varying dosages of T-2, DON, or their combinations. Over a four-week experimental period, meticulous monitoring was undertaken regarding the mice's body weight, biochemical markers of bone formation and resorption, and the activity of relevant cells. To comprehensively evaluate alterations in bone structure, we employed biomechanical analysis, micro-computed tomography (micro-CT), and transmission electron microscopy.Our findings unveiled a significant revelation: the mice exhibited a dose-dependent decrease in body weight upon exposure to individual mycotoxins, while the combined use of these toxins manifested an atypical antagonistic effect. Furthermore, we observed variations in the levels of calcium, phosphorus, and vitamin D, as well as adjustments in the activities of osteoblasts and osteoclasts, all intricately linked to the dosage and ratio of the toxins. Alterations in biomechanical properties were also noted to correlate with the dosage and combination of toxins. Analyses via micro-CT and transmission electron microscopy further corroborated the substantial impact of toxin dosage and combinations on both cortical and trabecular bone structures.In summation, our research unequivocally demonstrates the dose- and ratio-dependent detrimental effects of DON and T-2 mycotoxins on the growth and structural integrity of murine femurs. These insights accentuate the importance of a profound understanding of the potential risks these toxins pose to bone health, offering pivotal guidance for future toxicological research and public health preventative strategies.

    Abstract Objective: Age-related mitochondrial dysfunction and associated oxidative stress may contribute to the development of osteoarthritis. The aim of this study was to identify hub genes associated with mitochondrial dysfunction in osteoarthritis (OA) patients, helping predict the risk of OA, and revealing the mechanism of OA progression.
    Methods: OA expression data and mitochondrial dysfunction genes were downloaded from GEO (GSE55235, GSE82107, and GSE114007) and GeneCard databases. The differentially expressed mitochondrial dysfunction genes (DEMDFGs) between OA and control samples were screened. Gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes pathways were analyzed for DEMDFGs. The hub genes were determined by WGCNA and LASSO regression analysis. ROC curves manifested the diagnostic efficacy of each hub gene. A nomogram model was constructed and validated to predict OA risk. The expression of hub genes in OA and normal chondrocytes was verified by external datasets, qRT-PCR and western blotting.
    Results: A total of 31 DEMDFGs were identified, with 15 genes upregulated and 16 genes downregulated. GO functional enrichment analysis revealed that DEMDFGs were enriched in biological processes related to energy metabolism and cellular respiration. By employing weighted gene coexpression network analysis, we identified four distinct coexpression modules, among which the blue module exhibited the strongest correlation with OA. The intersection between DEMDFGs and this module yielded eight candidate genes. After LASSO analysis of the data, four hub genes (ACADL, CYBA, SLC19A2, and UCP2) were identified as potential biomarkers for OA. The expression levels of these four genes were externally validated in the GSE114007 dataset. And the biologically differential expression of these four genes has been verified in OA and normal chondrocytes. Moreover, the four hub genes had good sensitivity and specificity by ROC curve analysis, and the risk model constructed with these four genes showed promising performance. In conclusion, our study may provide novel mitochondrial dysfunction hub genes with potential clinical applications for understanding the pathology, diagnosis, and treatment of OA.

    Abstract Although the menstrual cycle driven by sex steroid hormones is an uncomplicated physiological process, it is important for female health, fertility and regenerative biology. However, our understanding of this unique type of tissue homeostasis remains unclear. Here, we examined the biological effects of mechanical force by evaluating the changing trend of extracellular matrix (ECM) stiffness, and the results suggested that ECM stiffness was reduced and that breaking of mechanotransduction delayed endometrium repair in a mouse model of simulated menses. We constructed an ECM stiffness interference model in vitro to explain the mechanical force conduction mechanism during endometrial regeneration. We discovered that ECM stiffness increased the expression and nuclear transfer of YAP, which improved the creation of a microenvironment, in a manner that induced proliferation and angiogenesis for endometrial repair by activating YAP. In addition, we observed that physiological endometrial hypoxia occurs during the menstrual cycle and that the expression of HIF-1α was increased. Mechanistically, in addition to the classical F-actin/YAP pathway, we also found that the ROS/HIF-1α/YAP axis was involved in the transmission of mechanical signals. This study provides novel insights into the essential menstrual cycle and presents an effective, nonhormonal treatment for menstrual disorders.

    Abstract Satellite remote sensing has witnessed a global widespread vegetation greening since the 1980s. However, reliable observation-based quantitative knowledge on global greening remains obscure due to uncertainties in model simulations and the contribution of natural variability is largely unknown. Here, we revisit the attribution of global vegetation changes using the Time Series Segment and Residual Trend (TSS-RESTREND) method. Results showed global vegetation significantly greening over 40.6% of the vegetated grids, whereas vegetation significantly browning over 11.6% of the vegetated grids. The attribution results based on the TSS-RESTREND method show that CO 2 fertilization (CO 2 ) plays an influential role in vegetation changes over 61.4% of the global vegetated areas, followed by land use (LU, 23.5%), climate change (CC, 7.3%), and climate variability (CV, 1.5%). The vegetation greening can be largely attributed to CO 2 fertilization while the vegetation browning is mainly caused by LU. Meanwhile, we also identify positive impacts of LU and CC on vegetation change in arid regions but negative impacts in humid regions. Our findings indicate spatial heterogeneity in causes behind global vegetation changes, providing more detailed references for global vegetation modeling.
