Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) turns into a common neuro progressional disorder. Although gender identity has obtained increasing attention in ADHD researches, its role in ADHD presentation and treatment response remains underexplored. Our review seeks to mainly delve into the effect of gender identity on ADHD, exploring the unique needs of individuals with various gender identities in the context of ADHD symptoms, diagnostic assessment, and treatment, with the goal of supplying theoretical support and practical recommendations for future research and clinical practice. The primary content includes, specifically: (1) Symptom expression differences: Gender identity significantly affects ADHD symptoms; male-identified individuals commonly perform worse in task orientation and attention stability, while female-identified individuals may demonstrate more variability in attention control and executive functions; (2) Diagnosis and treatment: Clinical practice generally neglects the impact of gender identity on ADHD management, with personalized needs of gender-identified individuals frequently not adequately addressed, potentially, affecting treatment outcomes; and (3) Future research directions: Future studies should further assess how gender identity affects the specific mechanisms of ADHD, conduct researches in multicultural contexts, and engage in long-term follow-up studies to evaluate the long-term impact of gender identity on ADHD progression. Besides, enhanced funding and public education on the relationship between gender identity and ADHD are needed to advance the field.

The integrative regeneration of both articular cartilage and subchondral bone remains an unmet clinical need due to the difficulties of mimicking spatial complexity in native osteochondral tissues for artificial implants. Layer-by-layer fabrication strategies, such as 3D printing, have emerged as a promising technology replicating the stratified zonal architecture and varying microstructures and mechanical properties. However, the dynamic and circulating physiological environments, such as mass transportation or cell migration, usually distort the pre-confined biological properties in the layered implants, leading to undistinguished spatial variations and subsequently inefficient regenerations. This study introduced a biomimetic calcified interfacial layer into the scaffold as a compact barrier between a cartilage layer and a subchondral bone layer to facilitate osteogenic-chondrogenic repair. The calcified interfacial layer consisting of compact polycaprolactone (PCL), nano-hydroxyapatite, and tasquinimod (TA) can physically and biologically separate the cartilage layer (TA-mixed, chondrocytes-load gelatin methacrylate) from the subchondral bond layer (porous PCL). This introduction preserved the as-designed independent biological environment in each layer for both cartilage and bone regeneration, successfully inhibiting vascular invasion into the cartilage layer and preventing hyaluronic cartilage calcification owing to devascularization of TA. The improved integrative regeneration of cartilage and subchondral bone was validated through gross examination, micro-computed tomography (micro-CT), and histological and immunohistochemical analyses based on an in vivo rat model. Moreover, gene and protein expression studies identified a key role of Caveolin (CAV-1) in promoting angiogenesis through the Wnt/β-catenin pathway and indicated that TA in the calcified layer blocked angiogenesis by inhibiting CAV-1.

Diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) and cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE) are both diseases that can seriously affect a patient's quality of life and generate economic pressure in society. Symptomatically, both DLU and CLE exhibit delayed healing and excessive inflammation; however, there is little evidence to support a molecular and cellular connection between these two diseases. In this study, we investigated potential common characteristics between DFU and CLE at the molecular level to provide new insights into skin diseases and regeneration, and identify potential targets for the development of new therapies. The gene expression profiles of DFU and CLE were obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database and used for analysis. A total of 41 common differentially expressed genes (DEGs), 16 upregulated genes and 25 downregulated genes, were identified between DFU and CLE. GO and KEGG analysis showed that abnormalities in epidermal cells and the activation of inflammatory factors were both involved in the occurrence and development of DFU and CLE. Protein-protein interaction network (PPI) and sub-module analysis identified enrichment in seven common key genes which is KRT16, S100A7, KRT77, OASL, S100A9, EPGN and SAMD9. Based on these seven key genes, we further identified five miRNAs(has-mir-532-5p, has-mir-324-3p,has-mir-106a-5p,has-mir-20a-5p,has-mir-93-5p) and7 transcription factors including CEBPA, CEBPB, GLI1, EP30D, JUN,SP1, NFE2L2 as potential upstream molecules. Functional immune infiltration assays showed that these genes were related to immune cells. The CIBERSORT algorithm and Pearson method were used to determine the correlations between key genes and immune cells, and reverse key gene-immune cell correlations were found between DFU and CLE. Finally, the DGIbd database demonstrated that Paquinimod and Tasquinimod could be used to target S100A9 and Ribavirin could be used to target OASL. Our findings highlight common gene expression characteristics and signaling pathways between DFU and CLE, indicating a close association between these two diseases. This provides guidance for the development of targeted therapies and mutual interactions.
