    Objective To collect extracellular vesicles( EVs) secreted by adipose mesenchymal stem cells( ADSCs) after ultrasound stimulation, compare with EVs secreted by normal ADSCs, and to explore the effects of EVs secreted after ultrasound stimulation on the biological characteristics of ADSCs, including cell proliferation, migration, and adipogenic differentiation abilities. Methods Firstly, some ADSCs were treated with low-intensity ultrasound, cell culture supernatant was collected and extracellular vesicles (U-EVs) were extracted by ultrafiltration method. Some ADSCs were cultured normally and their extracellular vesicles( N-EVs) were also collected. The experiments were performed in the following three groups: PBS (blank control group), EVs secreted by untreated cells (N-EVs group), and EVs secreted by ultrasoundtreated cells (U-EVs group). The CCK-8 assay was used to assess the viability of ADSCs under treatment with EVs at different concentrations. The concentration that most strongly enhanced cell viability was selected. At this concentration, cell migration was detected by scratch test, cell proliferation was detected by EdU method, and adipogenic induction medium was used to induce and compare adipogenic differentiation ability of ADSCs. Results EVs secreted after ultrasound stimulation met the identification standards, and the optimal concentration for affecting ADSCs was about 150 µg/mL. At this concentration, the cell proliferation rate of the U-EVs group( 19.2%±1.8%) was significantly higher than that of the N-EVs group( 11.9%±3.4%), and the Oil Red O staining area of the U-EVs group was( 2.78±0.23) times that of the control group, significantly higher than (2.11±0.18) times of the N-EVs group. However, there was no significant difference in cell migration rates between the N-EVs (16.3%±2.0%) and U-EVs (21.5%±2.3%) groups. Conclusion  EVs secreted by ultrasound-stimulated ADSCs significantly enhance the vitality of ADSCs and improve their abilities in cell proliferation, migration, and adipogenic differentiation.

    Abstract847 PDF(pc)(7518KB)( 41 Save
     Objective To evaluate the recovery of sensory and motor function after repair of forefoot plantar wounds with
    retrograde medial plantar flap. Methods The clinical data of 15 patients with forefoot plantar wounds that were repaired by retrograde medial plantar flap from February 2016 to August 2023 were retrospectively reviewed. The causes of the wounds included electric injury (3 cases), avulsion injury (1 case), diabetes mellitus (2 cases), and tumor resection (9 cases,including 8 melanomas and 1 desmoid). The size of harvested flaps ranged from 5 cm×5 cm to 6 cm×8 cm. Patients were followed up for 13-103 months to evaluate the flap sensation, sensory and motor function of the foot and toe, and appearance of donor and recipient site. Results The blood supply of all flaps was good after operation. Postoperative venous congestion occurred in 2 cases, which was relieved by needle puncture for bloodletting and heparin saline flushing. One-month and three-month postoperative follow-up showed that all 15 flaps presented soft texture and good appearance without bloating.
    However, the sensation of pain, temperature and two-point discrimination were lost. In the long-term follow-up initiated in September 2024, four cases were lost to follow-up, three of them were unavailable and one died. The remaining 11 patients could walk on the ground in normal gait without difficulty. Sensation of pain, temperature and touch were partially restored. Futhermore, active flexion and extention of the toes on the affected side were present, and toe muscle strength (Manual Muscle Testing, MMT) was graded≥4. Conclusion The retrograde medial plantar flap is effective in repairing small to medium-size forefoot plantar wounds by achieving good appearance, restoring the sensory, motor and weight-bearing function partially to a reasonable extent.

    Skin exposed to sunlight for a long period of time will have impaired function and even genetic material
    alteration, which is manifested by aging characteristics such as water loss, elasticity loss, wrinkle growth, melanin
    deposition and dryness. There are many ways to cause skin photoaging and the mechanism is complex, the ultraviolet light in
    sunlight has a particularly obvious effect on skin aging, the ultraviolet light that can act on the skin is divided into two kinds:
    UVA and UVB. They mainly act on the skin through five mechanisms that lead to photoaging: oxidative stress, damaging
    genetic material, changing the epidermal microbial community, destroying the function and structure of organelles, and
    reshaping the extracellular matrix (ECM).In this paper, these five mechanisms were reviewed, and research directions and
    prospects in this field were proposed.

    Abstract480 PDF(pc)(2406KB)( 910 Save
    Objective To observe the neuroprotective effect of liraglutide( LRG) on spinal cord injury( SCI) rats, and to explore whether its mechanism is related to inhibiting ferroptosis. Methods A total of 90 female Wistar rats were randomly divided into sham group( n=30), SCI group( n=30) and LRG+SCI group( n=30). A rat model of SCI was established using the modified Allen’s method. For the SCI+LRG group, LRG (200 µg/kg) was administered immediately via subcutaneous injection( s.c.) following SCI, and then subsequently given once a day for the next ten days. Animals in both the sham and SCI group were administrated with equal volumes of sterile PBS. The iron content and glutathione( GSH) level in spinal cord were detected by the kit at 24, 48 and 72 h after operation. The expression levels of xCT and GPX4 protein were analyzed by Western blot. The BBB locomotion rating scale was used to investigate the hindlimb function 1, 3, 7, 14, 28 days after injury. HE staining and Nissl Staining were performed to evaluate the structural damage and surviving neurons around the injured area 28 days after operation, and the neuron apoptosis was detected by immunofluorescence staining. Results. Compared with the sham operation group, the iron content in SCI group was significantly increased within 3 days after injury (P<0.05), and GSH level was significantly decreased (P<0.05). LRG treatment effectively decreased the iron contents in injured spinal cords( P<0.05), and increased GSH level (P<0.05). In addition, LRG treatment significantly increased the expression levels of xCT and GPX4 in injured spinal cords( P<0.01). Compared with SCI group, the BBB score of LRG group was significantly higher at 7, 14 and 28 days after injury (P<0.05). HE staining and Nissl staining showed that cavity of damaged regions of LRG group was lower than that of SCI group (P<0.05), and the number of motoneurons in the spinal ventral horn of rat treated with LRG was higher than that of SCI group (P<0.05). Immunofluorescence staining showed that the ratio of cleaved-caspase 3-positive neurons was remarkably increased after SCI( P<0.05) and LRG significantly reduced the ratio of cleaved-caspase 3-positive neurons( P<0.05). Conclusion LRG treatment after SCI may promote SCI repair, protect damaged neurons and restore motor function through inhibiting ferroptosis in the microenvironment at the lesion site.

    Abstract447 PDF(pc)(1040KB)( 925 Save
    Collagen-based biomaterials can be used as ideal biomaterials for bone and cartilage regeneration and repair due to their good biological activity and biocompatibility. However, due to the weak macroscopic mechanical properties of collagen, which cannot meet the mechanical requirements of natural cartilage and bone tissue, the mechanical properties are often improved by cross-linking modification. In addition, different material forms require different forming technologies. In this paper, the cross-linking methods and forming technologies of collagen-based biomaterials were reviewed, and the construction of collagen scaffolds and the selection of implanted cells for bone and cartilage regeneration and repair in recent years were summarized, aiming to provide clues and ideas for the development of collagen-based biomaterials preparation technology and the transformation of clinical applications.
