    Abstract Objective: To construct a new prediction nomogram to predict the risk of musculoskeletal pain in patients with primary osteoporosis who receive zoledronic acid intravenously for the first time.
    Method: Clinical data of 368 patients with primary osteoporosis who received the first intravenous injection of zoledronic acid in our hospital from December 2019 to December 2022 were studied. Patients were divided into a musculoskeletal pain group (n = 258) and a non-musculoskeletal pain group (n = 110) based on the presence or absence of musculoskeletal pain 3 days after injection. Statistically significant predictors were screened by logistic regression analysis and the minimum absolute contraction and selection operator (LASSO) to construct a nomogram. The nomogram was evaluated by the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, the calibration curve, the C-index, and the decision curve analysis (DCA) and verified in a validation cohort.
    Results: The independent predictors of the nomogram were age, serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D, NSAIDs, prior Vitamin D intake, and BMI. The area under the ROC curve (AUC) was 0.980 (95% CI, 0.915-0.987), showing excellent predictive performance. The nomogram c index was 0.980, and the nomogram c index for internal verification remained high at 0.979. Moreover, calibration curves show that the nomogram has good consistency. Finally, the DCA showed that the net benefit of the nomogram was 0.20-0.49.
    Conclusion: Musculoskeletal pain is a common symptom of APR in OP patients treated with intravenous zoledronic acid. Risk factors for musculoskeletal pain after zoledronic acid injection in OP patients were: non-use of NSAIDs, youth (<80 years old), serum 25 (OH) D<30ng /mL, no prior intake of vitamin D, BMI<24 kg /m

    Abstract Background/objective: As the pivotal cellular mediators of bone resorption and pathological bone remodeling, osteoclasts have emerged as a prominent target for anti-resorptive interventions. Pinocembrin (PIN), a predominant flavonoid found in damiana, honey, fingerroot, and propolis, has been recognized for its potential therapeutic effects in osteolysis. The purpose of our project is to investigate the potential of PIN to prevent bone resorption in ovariectomized (OVX) mice by suppressing osteoclast production through its underlying mechanisms.
    Methods: The study commenced by employing protein-ligand molecular docking to ascertain the specific interaction between PIN and nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) ligand (RANKL). Subsequently, PIN was introduced to bone marrow macrophages (BMMs) under the stimulation of RANKL. The impact of PIN on osteoclastic activity was assessed through the utilization of a positive TRAcP staining kit and a hydroxyapatite resorption assay. Furthermore, the study investigated the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in osteoclasts induced by RANKL using H
    Results: In this study, we elucidated the profound inhibitory effects of PIN on osteoclastogenesis and bone resorption, achieved through repression of NF-κB and NFATc1-mediated signaling pathways. Notably, PIN also exhibited potent anti-oxidative properties by mitigating RANKL-induced ROS generation and augmenting activities of ROS-scavenging enzymes, ultimately leading to a reduction in intracellular ROS levels. Moreover, PIN effectively abrogated the expression of osteoclast-specific marker genes (
    Conclusion: Our findings highlight the potent inhibitory effects of PIN on osteoclastogenesis, bone resorption, and RANKL-induced signaling pathways, thereby establishing PIN as a promising therapeutic candidate for the prevention and management of osteolytic bone diseases.
    The translational potential of this article: PIN serves as a promising therapeutic agent for the prevention and management of osteolytic bone diseases and holds promise for future clinical applications in addressing conditions characterized by excessive bone resorption. PIN is a natural compound found in various sources, including damiana, honey, fingerroot, and propolis. Its widespread availability and potential for therapeutic use make it an attractive candidate for further investigation and development as a clinical intervention.

    Abstract Objective: To find out the active compounds of Yupingfeng San for the prevention and treatment of the coronavirus pneumoniadisease 2019 (COVID-19) using network pharmacology and molecular docking, with a purpose to find a better clinical use of Yupingfeng San. Methods: The effective ingredients and targets of Astragali Radix, Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma and Saposhnikoviae Radix were searched from the traditional Chinese medicine system pharmacology analysis platform (TCMSP) website, and the protein and protein interactive network of Yupingfeng San was established using the String database (PPI). Cytoscape 3.6.1 software was used for data analysis to extract the Hub network from the PPI network. The KEGG pathway analysis was performed using the String database and the molecular docking was performed using ChemOffice, PyMOL, and Auto Dock software. Results: A total of 45 effective ingredients were obtained with limited screening conditions [oral bioavailability (OB) ≥ 30%; drug-like (DL) ≥ 0.18], and 345 potential targets and 15 key targets of Yupingfeng San were screened. A total of 50 pathways were obtained by KEGG pathway analysis, among which 25 main pathways were selected, including PIK3R1 target regulation PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, Ras signaling pathway, HIF-1 signaling pathway, and MAPK signaling pathways and T cell receptor signaling pathways. Conclusion: The active compounds in Yupingfeng San can inhibit the combination between SARS-CoV-2 protein and angiotensin-converting enzyme II (ACE2), thus regulating multiple signal pathways (PIK3R1, IGF1R, etc), which plays a role in the prevention of COVID-19.

    Abstract Background: This study used network pharmacology, molecular docking and experimental validation to assess the effects of Huanglian Jiedu Decoction (HLJDD) on atherosclerosis (AS).
    Methods: The components and targets of HLJDD were analyzed using the Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology database, and information on the genes associated with AS was retrieved from the GeneCards and OMIM platforms. Protein-protein interactions were analyzed using the STRING platform. A component-target-disease network was constructed using Cytoscape. GO and KEGG analyses were performed to identify molecular biological processes and signaling pathways, and the predictions were verified experimentally. Molecular docking was conducted with ChemOffice software, PyMOL software and Vina to verify the correlation of targets and compounds.
    Results: HLJDD contained 31 active compounds, with quercetin, kaempferol, moupinamide and 5-hydroxy-7-methoxy-2-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)chromone as the core compounds. The most important biotargets of HLJDD in AS were ICAM-1, CD31 and RAM-11. The molecular docking results showed that the molecular docking interaction energy between the 3 key targets and the 4 high-degree components were much less than -5 kJ∙mol
    Conclusion: Based on network pharmacology and experimental validation, our study indicated that HLJDD exerted anti-AS effect through upregulating CD31 expression and reducing the expression of ICAM-1 and RAM-11. HLJDD may be a potential therapeutic drug to the prevention of AS.

    Abstract Osteogenesis and angiogenesis acts as an essential role in repairing large tibial defects (LTDs). Total flavonoids of rhizoma drynariae (TFRD), a traditional Chinese medicinal herb, is reported to show anabolic effects on fracture healing. However, whether TFRD could improve the bone formation and angiogenesis in LTDs remains unknown. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of TFRD on bone formation and angiogenesis in LTDs in distraction osteogenesis (DO). Using a previously established fracture model, LTD rats was established with circular external fixator (CEF). All rats then randomly divided into TFRD low dosage group (with DO), TFRD medium dosage group (with DO), TFRD high dosage group (with DO), model group (with DO) and blank group (without DO). Twelve weeks after treatment, according to X-ray and Micro-CT, TFRD groups (especially in medium dosage group) can significantly promote the formation of a large number of epiphyses and improve new bone mineralization compared with model group, and the results of HE and Masson staining and in vitro ALP level of BMSC also demonstrated the formation of bone matrix and mineralization in the TFRD groups. Also, angiographic imaging suggested that total flavonoids of TFRD was able to promote angiogenesis in the defect area. Consistently, TFRD significantly increased the levels of BMP-2, SMAD1, SMAD4, RUNX-2, OSX and VEGF in LTD rats based on ELISA and Real-Time PCR. In addition, we found that ALP activity of TFRD medium dosage group reached a peak after 10 days of induction through BMSC cell culture in vitro experiment. TFRD promoted bone formation in LTD through activation of BMP-Smad signaling pathway, which provides a promising new strategy for repairing bone defects in DO surgeries.
