Azoospermia patients who carry a monogenetic mutation that causes meiotic arrest may have their biological child through genetic correction in spermatogonial stem cells(SSCs).However,such therapy for infertility has not been experimentally investigated yet.In this study,a mouse model with an X-linked testis-expressed 11(TEX11)mutation(Tex11PM/Y)identified in azoospermia patients exhibited meiotic arrest due to aberrant chromosome segregation.Tex11PM/Y SSCs could be isolated and expanded in vitro normally,and the mutation was corrected by clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats(CRISPR)-CRISPR-associated endonuclease 9(Cas9),leading to the generation of repaired SSC lines.Whole-genome sequencing demonstrated that the mutation rate in repaired SSCs is comparable with that of autonomous mutation in untreated Tex11PM/Y SSCs,and no predicted off-target sites are modified.Repaired SSCs could restore spermatogenesis in infertile males and give rise to fertile offspring at a high efficiency.In summary,our study establishes a paradigm for the treatment of male azoospermia by combining in vitro expansion of SSCs and gene therapy.

欧盟是全球最重要的区域一体化组织,也是西方最成熟的植物药市场,2004年《欧盟传统草药指令》(2004/24/EC)的颁布标志着欧盟草药药品注册管理制度的成熟和完善,不仅对统一监管草药具有里程碑式意义,而且为中药国际化发展提供了重要机遇.2004/24/EC法令颁布至今已有17年,已批准2000余件草药药品上市申请,而我国仅有极少数中药产品成功在欧盟成员国获批,中药欧盟注册仍然任重道远.旨在系统分析欧盟草药药品注册管理制度及其实施有关数据情况,并探索未来中药欧盟注册的思路与策略,以期为有关企业及政府部门提
骨稳态是骨的形成与吸收维持相对平衡的过程.信号转导和转录活化因子3(signal transducer and activator of transcription 3,STAT3)参与多条细胞内外的信号转导通路,与骨稳态息息相关.STAT3参与由众多因素调控的成骨细胞分化过程;也可通过调控破骨细胞的募集、分化和活性等维持骨稳态;还影响骨稳态中成骨-破骨细胞的交互通讯.STAT3突变的患者则表现出多种遗传性骨代谢疾病.此外,STAT3在机械应力介导的骨重建中也起重要作用.机械力刺激通过上调或激活STAT3

骨细胞是骨组织主要的力学感受及转导细胞,它们通过众多突触结构相互连接,形成庞大的骨稳态细胞调控网络,联系着成骨细胞、破骨细胞等骨基质表面细胞.骨细胞通过旁分泌途径影响成骨细胞骨形成和破骨细胞骨吸收来调节骨代谢,维持骨更新.针对骨细胞在受到力学刺激后分泌或释放的一些信号分子或蛋白因子对成骨细胞和破骨细胞生长分化的影响,本文综述近年来关于受力学刺激的骨细胞如何与成骨/破骨细胞进行通讯,为骨细胞生物力学研究提供新思路.

钛质网笼作为颈前路椎体次全切除减压融合术(anterior cervical corpectomy and fusion,ACCF)中使用的融合器之一,不仅能够在术中即刻重建颈椎稳定性、维持椎间高度及生理曲度,而且可以避免自体取骨造成供骨区并发症的问题,故成为ACCF术中较为常用的内植物.但传统钛笼多存在应力遮挡、钛笼下沉等问题,在一定程度上影响了手术效果,甚至导致严重术后并发症,需要行翻修手术.目前已有多种新型钛笼问世,一定程度上解决了传统钛笼带来的问题.生物力学评价及其测试方法是评判一款新型脊柱融合器
