Objective: To investigate the effects of Chagan-Gaoyou-4 powder on spine bone mineral density and serum estrogen and estrogen receptor alpha (ERa) and estrogen receptor beta (ERβ) protein expression in bone tissue induced by retinoic acid in rats. Methods: Sixty 3-month-old SPF female SD rats were randomly divided into model group (retinoin group), normal group (SHAM group), Mongolian medicine group (Chagan-Gaoyou 4 group), and control group (Gushukang granule group). After 14 days of administration, spinal Bone Mineral Density (BMD) was measured, and external manifestations were observed. Results: Compared with the SHAM group, the BMD values of all medication groups decreased (P < 0.05, P < 0.001). Compared with the model group, the spinal BMD value of the Chagan Gaoyou-4 group was increased after 21 days of treatment, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.01, P < 0.05). After 21 days, the spinal BMD value of all treatment groups was increased (P < 0.05), the spinal BMD value was also increased, especially Chagan Gaoyou-4 group was more obviously increased (P < 0.05). Compared with the normal group, ERa and ERβ levels in the model group were significantly decreased (P < 0.001), and ERa and ERβ levels in all drug groups were significantly increased (P < 0.001) compared with the model group. After 21 days of treatment, there was no significant difference among the three treatment groups (P > 0.05). ERa and ERβ levels in the Chagan Gaoyou-4 group were higher than those in the model group (P < 0.05), but there was no significant difference between the group and the Gushukang granule group (P > 0.05). The E2 content of the Chagan Gaoyou-4 group was higher than that of the model group (P < 0.05). The mRNA expression of estrogen receptor ERa and ERβ in bone tissue of the left proximal femur was detected by RT-PCR. Compared with the model group, the expression of ERa and ERβ mRNA in the Chagan Gaoyou-4 group and Gushukang granule group was increased. Compared with the model group, ERp mRNA expression was increased in the Chagan Gaoyou-4 powder medium-dose group. Compared with the Gushukang granule group, there was no significant difference in ERm RNA expression in the Chagan Gaoyou-4 dose groups. Chagan Gaoyou-4 can up-regulate the expression of ERa and ERβ induced by retinoic acid in rats, indicating that the Chagan Gaoyou-4 powder group may promote bone formation, regulate bone resorption, improve bone mineral density, and achieve the purpose of preventing and treating OP by increasing estrogen level, stimulating estrogen receptor, and increasing the expression of ERa and ERβ in bone tissue. Conclusion: Chagan-Gaoyu-4 powder may have estrogen-like effects on the bone tissue of rats induced by retinoic acid and may increase the level of serum estrogen, ERa, and ERβ protein expression, thereby improving the spinal BMD of experimental rats.

Protein sequence information are believed to embed the hint of their structures. In this study, we motivate to use network and statistical approaches to identify the sequential differences between different protein structural classes and between different structural motifs. By examine significant amino acid feature interactions and statistical distributions of feature series, both common and special characteristics are identified for the different protein structural types. Analyses suggest that all top protein structural classes of CATH and SCOP show Leu, Val, and Asn as the sources of strong feature interactions, while Cys, His, Trp, and Met exhibit weak intra-type interactions with other features. There are also significant interactions between amino acids features such as Ala and -helix and bend preference, Ala and side-chain size, Ala and Gly, and Met and Leu. These phenomena are observed in all structural classes, which are assumed to have little influences in distinguishing the different structures. In structures, Glu, Pro and side-chain size, hydrophobicity exhibit high importance in feature interactions, while in structures, Gly, Thr and physical properties such as -helix and bend preference, extended structural preference, pK-C value and surrounding hydrophobicity for structures show high importance in feature interactions. When comparing between the and structures, both types of structures show Ser as the common sources of feature interactions. The mixed and structures not only present common feature interactions with and structures, but exhibit special interactions between Met, Lys and double-bend preference property, and between the sequence arrangements of Cys, His, Met, Tyr and amino acid composition features. The intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) tends to present repetition patterns for a same kind of amino acids in high frequency Kmers, while the nine typical types of structural motifs also show different characteristics. Different value ranges are also found for different structural types according to statistical tests. The outcomes of this comparison study not only help to illuminate the mechanism of amino acid feature interactions in different types of structures, but also help us gain deeper understanding on how protein sequence influence structures.
蛋白质序列信息被认为蕴含着其结构的暗示。在本研究中，我们利用网络和统计方法来识别不同蛋白质结构类别之间以及不同结构主题之间的序列差异。通过研究重要的氨基酸特征相互作用和特征序列的统计分布，我们发现了不同蛋白质结构类型的共性和特殊性。分析表明，CATH 和 SCOP 的所有顶级蛋白质结构类别都显示出 Leu、Val 和 Asn 是强特征相互作用的来源，而 Cys、His、Trp 和 Met 则显示出与其他特征的弱类型内相互作用。氨基酸特征之间也存在明显的相互作用，如 Ala 与螺旋和弯曲偏好、Ala 与侧链大小、Ala 与 Gly 以及 Met 与 Leu。这些现象在所有结构类别中都能观察到，但假定它们对区分不同结构的影响不大。在结构上，Glu、Pro 和侧链大小、疏水性在特征相互作用中表现出很高的重要性，而在结构上，Gly、Thr 和物理特性（如-螺旋和弯曲偏好、扩展结构偏好、pK-C 值和结构周围的疏水性）在特征相互作用中表现出很高的重要性。在比较混合结构和结构时，两类结构都显示 Ser 是特征相互作用的共同来源。混合结构和结构不仅与和结构之间存在共同的特征相互作用，而且在 Met、Lys 和双弯曲偏好特性之间，以及 Cys、His、Met、Tyr 的序列排列和氨基酸组成特征之间表现出特殊的相互作用。本征无序蛋白（IDPs）倾向于在高频 Kmers 中出现同类氨基酸的重复模式，而九种典型的结构图案也表现出不同的特征。根据统计检验，不同结构类型也有不同的数值范围。这项比较研究的结果不仅有助于阐明氨基酸特征在不同类型结构中的相互作用机制，而且有助于我们更深入地理解蛋白质序列如何影响结构。

Functional ankle instability arises from recurrent ankle sprains. Neuromuscular training is employed to enhance ankle stability in individuals who experience functional ankle instability. The study involved 24 male university students with functional ankle instability, undergoing ankle neuromuscular training on three surfaces. The OpenSim musculoskeletal model assessed effects on ankle kinematics, kinetics, and muscle activity. Using one-way repeated measures ANOVA and one-dimensional statistical non-parametric mapping to distinguish differences among training surfaces. The study aimed to compare biomechanical characteristics of ankle motion in individuals with functional ankle instability undergoing immediate neuromuscular training on a foam cushion surface versus training on level-ground and artificial turf. Results showed foam cushion training significantly increased tibialis anterior and gastrocnemius medial activation during walking (p < 0.05), with no differences observed in peak ankle plantarflexion, peroneus longus, and gastrocnemius lateral. Foam cushion training further increased activation in four muscles and peak ankle plantarflexion moment during jogging and fast running (p < 0.05). Furthermore, foam cushion training reduced subtalar mobility (p < 0.05) and showed greater dorsiflexion angles during jogging and fast running (p < 0.05). Therefore, immediate ankle neuromuscular training on a foam cushion is more advantageous in enhancing ankle stability among individuals with functional ankle instability, positively impacting functional ankle instability improvement.

A carotenoid called lycopene (LYC) is one of the most potent antioxidants. Superior physiological properties of LYC include cancer prevention, cholesterol reduction, antioxidant activity, scavenging of free radicals, immunity enhancement, prostate protection, and increased sperm viability. In recent times, male sperm quality has decreased. Following studies on LYC’s function in spermatogenesis, the therapy of male infertility diseases has made extensive use of it. Here, we give an accurate theoretical foundation for the use of LYC in large animal breeding and the treatment of male infertility in humans by summarising the variables influencing spermatogenesis and the enhancing effect of LYC on mammalian spermatogenesis.

The clinical outcomes and incidence of Philadelphia chromosome-negative B cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ph-neg B-ALL) vary significantly across different age groups, influencing the prognosis. Despite recent advancements in diagnostic and therapeutic techniques, the detailed prognosis for ph-negative B-ALL across age demographics remains to be elucidated. In this study, clinical data were obtained from 80 patients with ph-neg B-ALL who were diagnosed at our centre. Ribonucleic acid sequencing was performed using their initial bone marrow aspirate samples. By employing weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) on 408 anoikis-related genes (ARGs), four different modules were identified and subsequently analysed through bioinformatics. The WGCNA revealed distinct co-expression modules among ARGs. Specifically, the ARGs in the turquoise module might assess the risk associated with newly diagnosed ph-neg B-ALL. Additionally, the study revealed significant heterogeneity in the immune microenvironment and genome variance, highlighting the notable heterogeneity within the disease. 408 ARGs were screened out and four different co-expression modules were constructed by WGCNA algorithms from the RNA-sequencing data of 80 ph-neg B-ALL patients; The ARGs in the turquoise module were the most, and it can be used to divide the de novo ph-neg B-ALL patients to different risk groups(high-risk and low-risk); The ph-neg B-ALL patients can be divided into PS-1 and PS-2, there is heterogeneity of genomes between PS-1 and PS-2; Immune infiltration difference exists in between PS-1 and PS-2. In conclusion, our study holds significant value in exploring the molecular pathways and mechanisms associated with anoikis implicated in ph-neg B-ALL, and in facilitating the development of treatments and prognostic tools for this disease

Fatigue has been established to change plantar pressure distribution, yet its impact on hallux valgus (HV) patients, who exhibit morphological and biomechanical changes in the foot, remains insufficiently studied. Twenty-eight female participants, comprising 16 with mild HV and 12 healthy controls, were recruited. Plantar pressures were recorded pre- and post-fatigue using the Footscan platform during self-selected-speed walking trials, fatigue protocol was performed on a treadmill. Foot was segmented into 10 anatomical regions for calculating parameters including maximal force, peak pressure, impulse, contact duration, contact area, and force time-series, alongside assessing the distribution of medial and lateral contact forces (Foot balance) across the groups. During post-fatigue, patients with mild HV demonstrated adaptive changes in plantar pressure distinct from healthy controls, with significant reductions in maximal force, peak pressure, and impulse in the M1 and M2 regions and increases in the M3–M5 regions. In contrast, the control group exhibited an opposite pattern, concentrating pressure in the M1 and M2 regions post-fatigue. The force time-series analysis revealed significant disparities between HV patients and controls, particularly in the M4 and M5 regions, where HV patients showed a less pronounced and lower passive peak in forces. Results show that women with mild HV demonstrate adaptive changes in plantar pressure post-fatigue, distinctly different from healthy individuals, aiding in preventive strategies for fatigue-induced foot injuries for HV patients.

Lower cervical spine injuries often manifest as lower cervical vertebral fractures and dislocations, as well as lower cervical facet joint dislocations. Especially in cases of bilateral facet joint dislocations, it is important to rapidly and effectively relieve spinal cord and nerve root compression to prevent secondary spinal cord injury, while also providing reliable and long-lasting stability to the injured segment after surgery. Combined anterior and posterior approaches have the advantages of both pure anterior or posterior approaches, but the actual situation is complex and variable, making systematic theoretical analysis crucial. This study, with bilateral facet joint dislocation of the C6 segment and cervical spinal cord injury as the research background, established a three-dimensional model of the cervical spine C3-C7 after implementing four types of anterior-posterior combined surgeries. The four surgical approaches consist of four combinations: anterior parallel or inclined screw placement combined with posterior Margel or Anderson method screw insertion. Through finite element method, a systematic comparative analysis of the theoretical effects of the four combined surgeries in treating bilateral facet joint dislocation of the cervical spine was conducted. The conclusion was that the variations in the four combined fixation methods have a certain impact on the biomechanical characteristics of the intervertebral disc nucleus. There is a clear mutual influence relationship among anterior and posterior fixation instruments. Based on the model used in this study, it is recommended to use a torque greater than 2.1 nm to tighten the locking nut of the posterior rod to ensure reliable internal fixation.

The four surgical approaches consist of four combinations: anterior parallel or inclined screw placement combined with posterior Margel or Anderson method screw insertion. Through finite element method, a systematic comparative analysis of the theoretical effects of the four combined surgeries in treating bilateral facet joint dislocation of the cervical spine was conducted. The conclusion was that the variations in the four combined fixation methods have a certain impact on the biomechanical characteristics of the intervertebral disc nucleus. There is a clear mutual influence relationship among anterior and posterior fixation instruments. Based on the model used in this study, it is recommended to use a torque greater than 2.1 nm to tighten the locking nut of the posterior rod to ensure reliable internal fixation.","PeriodicalId":153642,"journal":{"name":"Molecular & Cellular Biomechanics","volume":" 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141000077","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
