Extracellular vesicles (EVs), lipid membrane-encapsulated nanoparticles released from most cell types, are enriched in bioactive molecules capable of mediating intercellular communication. Recently, EVs have shown potential for applications in regenerative medicine, notably as alternatives to cell therapy. A therapeutic paradigm shift is emerging towards the EV-based treatment of nerve injury. Accumulating evidence indicates that EVs promote nerve regeneration and functional recovery, primarily by modulating neural cell function, immune-inflammatory responses, and angiogenesis. Various strategies have been developed to incorporate EVs into nerve grafts or to utilize them as diagnostic and therapeutic vehicles. This review aimed to provide a systematic survey of the available literature on the latest progress in EV-based treatments for peripheral nerve, spinal cord, and brain injuries. Additionally, prospects of EV-based nerve injury repair are discussed in terms of deep mechanistic understanding, technological innovations, and interdisciplinary convergence.展开更多

摘要In dynamic and fluid-rich environments,achieving stable bioscaffold adhesion to tissue surfaces while facili-tating therapeutic delivery always presents significant challenges.Inspired by the nature adhesive mechanisms of skin section of Andrias davidianus(SSAD),we engineered SSAD@GelMA microspheres(SGM)as a novel multi-functional biomimetic platform,combining strong bioadhesion,cell/drug delivery capabilities,and extracellular matrix(ECM)remodeling.Preclinical evaluation in wound models demonstrated SGM exceptional adhesive strength,maintaining stable attachment even under continuous fluid shear stress.Unlike conventional hydrogel microspheres,the unique multifunctionality of SSAD enables SGM to serve dual roles as both an advanced biomimetic platform and an effective tissue-repairing agent for wet wound healing applications.Through effi-cient delivery of therapeutic agents or cells in wet environments and promotion of ECM remodeling,SGM significantly enhanced tissue repair across various in vivo wet tissue models,including bone tissue,cartilage tissue,soft tissue.These findings introduce a promising class of wet-adhesive microspheres with broad potential for adaptation to diverse fluid-rich tissue regeneration scenarios.

摘要Idiopathic non-obstructive azoospermia(iNOA)is associated with reduced expression of multiple eukaryotic translation initiation factors(EIFs)in spermatogonia,including eukaryotic translation initiation factor 5(EIF5).The present study revealed that eIF5 mRNA and protein levels were markedly higher in male mouse(Mus musculus)germ cells than in Leydig or Sertoli cells.Thus,to define the role of eIF5 in spermatogenesis,Eif5 conditional knockout(cKO)mice were generated by crossing Eif5fl/fl mice with Stimulated by retinoic acid 8(Stra8)-Cre mice.Loss of Eif5 in male germ cells reduced both SRY-box transcription factor 3(SOX3)+progenitor spermatogonia and Kit proto-oncogene receptor tyrosine kinase(KIT)+differentiating spermatogonia,leading to severe meiotic failure and complete male infertility.Mechanistically,Eif5 deficiency impaired translation of genes involved in ubiquitination,autophagy,and DNA repair,which,in turn,triggered excessive endoplasmic reticulum(ER)stress and compromised DNA repair in SOX3+progenitor spermatogonia.These defects promoted DNA damage and subsequent apoptosis,resulting in progressive germ cell depletion and sterility.Collectively,these findings highlight the essential role of eIF5 in spermatogenesis and offer a potential therapeutic strategy for iNOA associated with reduced expression of EIF5 and other translation initiation factors.

摘要Fugitive volatile organic compound(VOC)emissions from equipment leaks in the petroleum refining industry threaten ambient air quality and human health.The impact of a long-term leak detection and repair(LDAR)on mitigating these emissions has not been adequately elucidated.Herein,we explored the VOC emission characteristics and mitigation from a petroleum refinery in a long-term LDAR implementation,established emission factors at production unit-level and enterprise-level,and assessed the VOC mitigatio n,ozone formation potential(OFP)and seconda ry organic ae rosol formation potential(SOAP)from equipment leaks of petroleum refining in Guangdong,China.The results indicated that the long-term implementation of LDAR at the enterprise-level petroleum refining facility resulted in an approximately 40.5%reduction in overall VOC emissions.Kerosene hydrotreating unit(KHU),catalytic reforming unit(CRU),delayed coking unit(DCU),aromatics recovery complex(ARC),and hydrocracking unit(HCU)were the top five units for emission reduction,while valves and connectors were the top two sealing points.The implementation of LDAR across all petroleum refineries in Guangdong Province achieved annual VOC emission reductions ranging from 129.0 to 160.5 tons between 2018 and2022,with corresponding reductions in OFP and SOAP of approximately 68.2%.Alkenes/alkynes were the primary contributors to OFP,whereas aromatics dominated SOAP.Three recommendations were proposed for the optimization of future LDAR implementation policies:to emphasize the quality control and assurance of LDAR detection data;to establish a refined LDAR work plan that integrates production units and sealing points;and to conduct LDAR work on a regular and continuous basis.

摘要The employment of low-frequency electrical stimulation therapy has been shown to elicit a pronounced depolarization of neurons,thereby initiating the regenerative signaling cascades within neural cells,which is favorable for the regeneration of neural cells.In this study,we designed the flexible triboelectric nanogenerator device(TENG) to treat injury of peripheral nerve,which is combined with mesoporous silica(H-SiO2),high dielectric performance of polydimethylsiloxane(PDMS),and connected to biocompatible and conductive polycaprolactone(PCL) conduit materials for limited power generation to neurobioelectric response adaptation.By adjusting the content of H-SiO2 and the amount of PDMS monomers,the electrical performance of the device is optimized.Through the charge collection effect of silica molecular sieve,the endogenous neural electric field in nerve injury was stabilized,ensuring the consistency of the electrical stimulation level that is crucial for maintaining resting membrane potential.In vitro experiments clearly demonstrated that electrical stimulation derived from the triboelectric nanogenerator significantly promotes cell proliferation.Further animal experiments confirmed that electrical stimulation can effectively treat sciatic nerve injury and accelerate axonal regeneration.Based on experimental outcomes,we have developed an implantable sciatic nerve system that can stably generate effective electrical pulses in response to rat movement through charge collection.This system regulates the electric field around the injured sciatic nerve,maintains the electric field threshold required for rapid nerve tissue repair,and accelerates the recovery of nerve function.

摘要The LiFePO4 batteries are expected to face a significant wave of retirement in the coming years.This necessitates the establishment of a comprehensive and environmentally friendly recycling system for spent LiFePO4 batteries.The traditional hydrometallurgical and pyrometallurgical methods involve high costs and serious pollution.This work provides a more efficient and environmentally benign alternative by repairing spent LiFePO4 through a citric acid-LiCl deep eutectic solvent(DES).The citric acid and LiCl form a molten state through hydrogen bonding at lower temperatures,enabling the ambient-pressure repair.The LiCl acts as a Li source to replace the lost Li.The citric acid donates electrons to reduce Fe3+to Fe2+,reducing electrostatic repulsion to facilitate Fe to return to its original lattice site,thereby eliminating Fe-Li anti-site defects and promoting the insertion of Li+into the lattice.Remarkably,this method eliminates the strict requirement for Li/Fe molar ratio control,making it applicable to spent LiFePO4 batteries with varying degradation levels.The regenerated LiFePO4 shows great electrochemical performance with a discharge capacity of 158.3 mA h g-1at 0.5C,with a capacity retention of 82.8%after600 cycles.Notably,the DES demonstrates recyclability and stable regeneration efficiency,while its eco-friendly nature further enhances the economic viability and industrial potential of this process.

摘要Bone defect repair imposes stringent requirements on biomaterials,including mechanical compatibility,biocompatibility,osteoinduction/osteoconduction,and biodegradability.Biomedicalmetallic materials serve as core solutions for bone reconstruction due to their exceptional mechanical strength,particularly in high-loadbearing regions such as the spine.To address metallic surface bioinertness,various surface modification technologies are widely employed to significantly enhance osseointegration,antibacterial efficacy,and corrosion resistance through microano-structuring and bioactive coatings.3D printing enables customized fabrication of porous metallic implants,optimizing mechanical compatibility and imaging compatibility.In spinal applications,metallic materials are extensively utilized in internal fixation systems,interbody cages,artificial discs/vertebrae,correction systems,and tumor prostheses.Their design and modification directly impact fusion success rates,anti-subsidence capability,and long-term stability.Despite significant progress,challenges remain in degradation rate matching,long-term biosafety,multifunctional synergy,and stability in complex physiological environments.Future efforts should focus on smart materials,precision surface engineering,AI-assisted personalized design,and long-term clinical evaluation to advance metallic bone-repair materials toward superior performance.

摘要Periodontitis is a chronic infectious oral disease triggered by periodontopathogenic bacteria,resulting in the progressive inflammation and destruction of the tissues surrounding teeth.To achieve reprogramming of the infectious microenvironment for periodontitis therapy,a nanoformulation was proposed by loading polydopamine(PDA)with ultrasmall strontium through in situ reduction and arginine by Michael addition,defined as PA.Combined with near infrared(NIR)irradiation,it could efficiently scavenge reactive oxygen species(ROS),and downregulate inflammatory factors expression through inhibiting NF-κB pathway.In addition,it also confirmed the effective bacteria killing in NIR stimulated PA by photothermal effects and nitric oxide(NO)generation.Significantly,PA+NIR was also verified to promote alveolar bone tissue repair through strontium ions(Sr2+)and NO induced angiogenesis,together with Sr2+mediated osteogenesis.The administration strategy was finally verified to alleviate the oxidative stress derived inflammation,suppress bacterial growth and biofilm formation,as well as promote bone regeneration with high efficacy and biosafety in the periodontitis rat models.All the above findings contributed to the NIR enhanced synergistic treatment of periodontitis,and it may serve as a promising strategy for the treatment of other inflammation related diseases.

摘要Peripheral and central nerve injuries present significant challenges in clinical practice due to the paucity of effective therapeutic options. Extracellular vesicles (EVs), lipid membrane-encapsulated nanoparticles released from most cell types, are enriched in bioactive molecules capable of mediating intercellular communication. Recently, EVs have shown potential for applications in regenerative medicine, notably as alternatives to cell therapy. A therapeutic paradigm shift is emerging towards the EV-based treatment of nerve injury. Accumulating evidence indicates that EVs promote nerve regeneration and functional recovery, primarily by modulating neural cell function, immune-inflammatory responses, and angiogenesis. Various strategies have been developed to incorporate EVs into nerve grafts or to utilize them as diagnostic and therapeutic vehicles. This review aimed to provide a systematic survey of the available literature on the latest progress in EV-based treatments for peripheral nerve, spinal cord, and brain injuries. Additionally, prospects of EV-based nerve injury repair are discussed in terms of deep mechanistic understanding, technological innovations, and interdisciplinary convergence.
摘要Robotic inguinal hernia repair remains in the early stages of implementation,and its potential advantages over the laparoscopic approach are still a matter of debate.This narrative review aims to summarize the findingsof major systematic reviews and randomized controlled trials and explore variables not adequately addressed in those studies.The literature review indicates that robotic inguinal hernia repair is associated with longer operative times but has improved ergonomics compared with laparoscopy.It is a safe procedure that results in a reduced inflammatory response,similar complication rates,and no significantdifference in acute postoperative pain.Although it involves higher direct costs,its cost-effectiveness remains unclear owing to a lack of analysis including indirect costs.Ongoing controversy continues regarding long-term benefits.The most recent systematic review pointed towards lower recurrence rates with robotic surgery,although randomized controlled trials have not validated this finding.Data on chronic pain are currently insufficientto draw firmconclusions.Further studies are needed to assess its use in complex cases and the role of novel techniques.

摘要The blood-spinal cord barrier is crucial for preserving homeostasis of the central nervous system.After spinal cord injury,autophagic flux within endothelial cells is disrupted,compromising the integrity of the blood-spinal cord barrier.This disruption facilitates extensive infiltration of inflammatory cells,resulting in exacerbated neuroinflammatory responses,neuronal death,and impaired neuronal regeneration.Previous research has demonstrated that photobiomodulation promotes the regeneration of damaged nerves following spinal cord injury by inhibiting the recruitment of inflammatory cells to the injured site and restoring neuronal mitochondrial function.However,the precise mechanisms by which photobiomodulation regulates neuroinflammation remain incompletely elucidated.In this study,we established a mouse model of spinal cord injury and assessed the effects of photobiomodulation treatment.Photobiomodulation effectively cleared damaged mitochondria from endothelial cells in mice,promoting recovery of hindlimb motor function.Using microvascular endothelial bEnd.3 cells subjected to oxygen-glucose deprivation,we found that the effects of photobiomodulation were mediated through activation of the PINK1/Parkin pathway.Additionally,photobiomodulation reduced mitochondrial oxidative stress levels and increased the expression of tight junction proteins within the blood-spinal cord barrier.Our findings suggest that photobiomodulation activates mitochondrial autophagy in endothelial cells through the PINK1/Parkin pathway,thereby promoting repair of the blood-spinal cord barrier following spinal cord injury.

摘要In erasure-coded storage systems,updating data requires parity maintenance,which often leads to significant I/O amplification due to“write-after-read”operations.Furthermore,scattered parity placement increases disk seek overhead during repair,resulting in degraded system performance.To address these challenges,this paper proposes a Cognitive Update and Repair Method(CURM)that leverages machine learning to classify files into writeonly,read-only,and read-write categories,enabling tailored update and repair strategies.For write-only and read-write files,CURM employs a data-differencemechanism combined with fine-grained I/O scheduling to minimize redundant read operations and mitigate I/O amplification.For read-write files,CURM further reserves adjacent disk space near parity blocks,supporting parallel reads and reducing disk seek overhead during repair.We implement CURM in a prototype system,Cognitive Update and Repair File System(CURFS),and conduct extensive experiments using realworld Network File System(NFS)and Microsoft Research(MSR)workloads on a 25-node cluster.Experimental results demonstrate that CURMimproves data update throughput by up to 82.52%,reduces recovery time by up to 47.47%,and decreases long-term storage overhead by more than 15% compared to state-of-the-art methods including Full Logging(FL),ParityLogging(PL),ParityLoggingwithReservedspace(PLR),andPARIX.These results validate the effectiveness of CURM in enhancing both update and repair performance,providing a scalable and efficient solution for large-scale erasure-coded storage systems.

摘要Targeting DNA repair defects has shown therapeutic benefits in solid tumors with genetic mutations that disrupt DNA damage repair(DDR)pathways.Clear cell renal cell carcinoma(ccRCC)demonstrates an intermediate level of genomic instability,while it rarely carries mutations in these genes.Instead,it is characterized by the loss of chromosome 3p,the von Hippel‑Lindau(VHL)tumor suppressor gene inactivation,and secondary mutations in Polybromo‑1(PBRM1),SET domain‑containing 2(SETD2),and BRCA‑associated protein 1(BAP1).Here,we summarize and discuss how these essential mutations impair the DDR,activate the cytosolic DNA sensing pathway,alter the tumor immune microenvironment,and offer promising therapeutic targets.
