Objective To address the challenge of separately detecting the encapsulation efficiency of multiple components in mRNA combination vaccines,a specific detection method based on multiplex RT-qPCR was developed to achieve accurate quality control of the encapsulation efficiency of individual mRNA components in lipid nanoparticles(LNPs).Methods Oligo dT magnetic beads were used to selectively isolate free mRNA from LNPs without disrupting intact LNPs.Specific primers and probes were designed for different mRNA sequences,and a multiplex RT-qPCR assay was established to quantify the content of each component in free mRNA.The linear range,sensitivity,and repeatability of the method were validated.Results The developed multiplex RT-qPCR method could specifically distinguish different mRNA components,overcoming the limitation of traditional RiboGreen dye-based methods that cannot differentiate individual mRNA species.The assay exhibited a broad linear range(102-107 copies) for each mRNA component,with both intra- and inter-assay coefficients of variation(CVs)<2.0%,meeting the requirements for precise quantification.Additionally,the recovery rate of free mRNA enriched by Oligo dT magnetic beads exceeded 75%,and the process did not damage the mRNA-LNP structure.Conclusion A multiplex RT-qPCR-based method for detecting the encapsulation efficiency of mRNA combination vaccines was successfully established,enabling independent quantification of different mRNA components,which provides a reliable tool for process optimization and quality control of multivalent mRNA vaccines.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of Tongxinluo capsules on traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） syndrome elements and major adverse cardiovascular events （MACEs） in patients with chronic coronary syndrome of Qi deficiency and blood stasis type. MethodsA multicenter and prospective cohort study was conducted. The intervention of Tongxinluo Capsules was used as the exposure factor， and the patients were divided into an exposure group （integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine treatment group） and a non-exposure group （western medicine treatment group）. The patients were followed up for one year. The TCM syndrome element scores were assessed by using a syndrome element diagnosis scale on the day of enrollment and in the third， sixth， and twelfth months， and the incidence of MACE within one year was recorded. ResultsA total of 186 patients were included， with 128 patients in the exposure group and 58 patients in the non-exposure group. There was no significant difference in baseline data between the two groups. Compared with those in the pretreatment period for each group， the Qi deficiency and blood stasis syndrome scores in the treatment and follow-up period were significantly improved （P<0.05）. Compared with the non-exposure group， the exposure group exhibited significantly decreased Qi deficiency syndrome scores in the treatment and follow-up period （P<0.01） and significantly reduced blood stasis syndrome scores in the sixth month （P<0.05）. In the remaining follow-up period， there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups. Compared with that of the non-exposure group， during the treatment period （the third month）， the difference in Qi deficiency and blood stasis syndrome scores of the exposure group was statistically significant （P<0.05， P<0.01）. At the end of the follow-up period， patients in the non-exposure group had a MACE probability of 6.90% （4/58）， higher than 3.13% in the exposure group （4/58）. Compared with patients with angina pectoris who used conventional medicine， patients administered with Tongxinluo Capsules had a relative risk（RR） of 0.45 ［95%confidence interval（95%CI） 0.12-1.75， P=0.26］. There was no significant difference in the incidence of MACE within one year between the two groups. ConclusionTongxinluo capsules can improve the degree of Qi deficiency in patients with chronic coronary syndrome in the short term， and the improvement effect of blood stasis syndrome appears in the medium and long term. They can better improve the Qi deficiency syndrome in the long term. Within one year， the incidence of MACE in the exposure group was lower than that in the non-exposure group.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of IBUCy(idarubicin,busulfan,and cyclophosphamide)and FABC(fludarabine,cyta-rabine,busulfan,and cyclophosphamide)conditioning regimens followed by allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation(allo-HSCT)for the treatment of medium-to-high risk acute myelocytic leukemia(AML).Methods:We retrospectively analyzed data of 49 patients with medium-to-high risk AML who received IBUCy(n=17)or FABC(n=32)conditioning regimens followed by allo-HSCT between January 2015 and December 2021 at The First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University.Hematopoietic reconstruction time,adverse events,and survival outcomes were compared between the two groups to assess the efficacy and safety of the two regimens.Additionally,we analyzed factors that may be associated with prognosis.Results:Hematopoietic reconstruction was successful in all 49 patients.No significant differ-ences were observed between the two groups in terms of hematopoietic reconstruction time.Similarly,no significant differences were ob-served in the 5-year progression-free survival(PFS)and overall survival(OS)rates between the two groups.The incidence rates of oral mu-cositis,nausea and vomiting,diarrhea(≥grade 3 based on CTCAE v5.0),and chronic graft-versus-host disease(GVHD)were significantly high-er in the IBUCy group than that in the FABC group.However,the incidence rate of hemorrhagic cystitis in the FABC group was significantly higher than that in the IBUCy group.The time from diagnosis to allo-HSCT>6 months and being minimal residual disease(MRD)-positive be-fore transplantation were identified as the risk factors for PFS(P=0.019 and P=0.048,respectively).Patients who were MRD-negative before transplantation had significantly longer PFS when treated with the IBUCy conditioning regimen(P=0.039).Conclusions:Both IBUCy and FABC conditioning regimens prior to allo-HSCT are safe and effective for treating medium-to-high risk AML.Allo-HSCT should be performed as soon as possible when patients achieve their first complete remission.Patients with an MRD-negative status before transplantation tend to have longer PFS.Compared with the FABC regimen,the IBUCy regimen has some advantages;however,attention should be given to the prevention and management of gastrointestinal adverse events and chronic GVHD.

OBJECTIVE To study the effects of Ro 64-6198,a selective nociceptin/orphanin FQ receptor(NOPR)agonist,on heroin self-administration and drug-seeking behavior in rats.METHODS Rats were trained to self-administer heroin intravenously at a dose of 0.05 mg·kg-1 under a fixed ratio 1(FR1)reinforcement schedule.Heroin motivation was assessed using a progressive ratio(PR)schedule.Firstly,a stable heroin self-administered rat model was established before the effects of Ro 64-6198 on heroin rewarding under the FR1 schedule were observed.After three days of self-administration recovery training,the effects of Ro 64-6198 on heroin reward motivation were observed under the PR3-4 schedule.Following extinction,the reinstatement of heroin seeking induced by either conditioned cues or heroin priming was evaluated in rats withdrawn from self-administration.The expressions of cAMP response element-binding protein(CREB)and brain-derived neurotrophic factor(BDNF)in the ventral tegmental area(VTA)were analyzed using Western blotting,while the expression of the NOPR in neurons in the VTA was examined through immunofluorescence staining.RESULTS Pretreatment with 3 mg·kg-1 Ro 64-6198 significantly reduced active responses and heroin infusions during FR1 testing,as well as decreased breakpoints,indicating reduced motivation under the PR schedule.At a dose of 1 mg·kg-1,Ro 64-6198 markedly attenuated the reinstatement of heroin-seeking behavior induced by conditioned cues or heroin priming.Furthermore,the administration of SB-612111,an NOPR antagonist,blocked the inhibitory effects of Ro 64-6198 on cue-induced heroin-seeking,although SB-612111 alone had no effect on heroin-seeking behavior.Ro 64-6198 treatment also suppressed the reduction of both phos-phorylated CREB(p-CREB)and BDNF levels in the VTA and the decreased expression of NOPR and p-CREB in dopaminergic neurons of the VTA.CONCLUSION These results demonstrate that Ro 64-6198 can mitigate heroin-seeking behavior through NOPR activation and CREB/BDNF pathway in the VTA.This study is expected to offer evidence for its potential as a clinical treatment for heroin addiction and relapse.

Originating in Huangdi Neijing,this theory was pioneered by ZHANG Zhongjing,who established the principles of concurrent heart-lung treatment and integrated therapeutic approaches.It further developed during the Ming-Qing period and has been widely applied in modern clinical practice.This article systematically traces the developmental trajectory of the heart-lung correlation theory in traditional Chinese medicine and analyzes its clinical application in elucidating the pathogenesis and therapeutic strategies for lung cancer complicated by cardiovascular comorbidities.According to this theoretical framework,lung cancer accompanied by cardiovascular comorbidities exhibits a pathomechanism characterized by fundamental deficiency with symptomatic excess.The deficiency manifests as qi-blood depletion or impaired descent of gathering qi,while the excess is reflected in phlegm-stasis coagulation or heat-toxin accumulation.Key pathological features include progressive transformation,meridian disharmony,deteriorating vital substances,and disruption of inter-organ relationships.Treatment adheres to the principles of concurrent heart-lung intervention,integrated cardiopulmonary modulation,and reciprocal organ regulation.Core therapeutic strategies involve eliminating pathogenic factors,promoting circulation,tonifying deficiencies,and harmonizing functions with specific interventions determined through pattern differentiation.For the pattern of phlegm and blood stasis coagulation affecting both the heart and lung,treatment is guided by the principle of simultaneous treatment of phlegm and stasis,coordinated regulation of heart-lung function,and prioritization of qi circulation.Commonly used formulas include Gualou Xiebai Banxia Decoction and Xuefu Zhuyu Decoction.In cases of heat toxin accumulation in the heart and lungs,therapy follows the principle of clearing heart-lung fire and dredging collaterals,often using combinations of insect-derived medicines and vine-derived herbs,such as earthworm and Chinese star jasmine stem.In instances of heart-lung qi-blood deficiency,the therapeutic approach emphasizes simultaneous fortification and qi and blood circulation.Formulas such as modified Renshen Yangrong Decoction or Shengxian Decoction,combined with Taohong Siwu Decoction,are commonly used.These formulas strengthen qi without stagnating blood,promote blood circulation without harming healthy qi,and gradually eliminate pathogens.These three treatment approaches embody the characteristics of integrated heart-lung therapy,emphasizing dynamic regulation and holistic concepts.The focus remains on addressing both manifestation and root causes through flexible herb selection to achieve optimal therapeutic outcomes.

Objective:To analyze the changes and significance in clinical cardiac indicators of early cardiac myocardial dysfunction and cardiac substructure dose during conventional radiotherapy for N 2-N 3 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with mediastinal lymph node metastases. Methods:The data of 34 NSCLC patients with lymph node metastases in regions 4-8 admitted to the Affiliated Cancer Hospital of Guizhou Medical University from June 2022 to August 2023 were observed and analyzed. All patients were treated with volumetric modulated arc therapy with a prescribed dose of 60-70 Gy. Cardiac troponin T (cTnT) and N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) were measured at 6 time points: within 1 week before radiotherapy ( t0); when the cumulative radiotherapy dose reaches 20 Gy ( t20), 40 Gy ( t40), 60 Gy ( t60) during radiotherapy; within 1 week after radiotherapy ( tp); 1 month after radiotherapy( tp1). Left ventricular global longitudinal strain (LVGLS) and left atrial global longitudinal strain (LAGLS) were assessed at 4 time points: t0, t40, tp and tp1, respectively. The changes in cardiac indicators at different time points during radiotherapy and their correlation with substructure doses were analyzed using analysis of variance, linear regression analysis, and Pearson correlation. Results:The correlation between cardiac substructure dose and mean heart dose (MHD) in the study cohort in the descending order was as follows: left ventricle ( B=0.43, P<0.001), right ventricle ( B=0.37, P=0.002), left atrium ( B=0.16, P<0.001), and right atrium ( B=0.15, P=0.001). There were significant differences in the changes of LVGLS and LAGLS across different time points ( F=3.13, P=0.029; F=17.18, P<0.001). At 1 month after radiation, LAGLS was significantly decreased compared to pre-radiation levels ( P=0.009), whereas no significant difference was observed in LVGLS ( P=1.000). No significant differences were observed in the changes of cTnT and NT-proBNP across different time points (all P>0.05). Significant correlations were identified between cTnT and right ventricle mean dose at t40 ( r=0.38, P=0.025), as well as between NT-proBNP and right atrium mean dose at t60 and tp ( r=0.54, P=0.001; r=0.41, P=0.016). Conclusions:At present, there is no significant difference between the sensitive serum markers of myocardial injury and LVGLS in detecting early myocardial injury. LAGLS may hold substantial clinical value. There is uncertainty about radiation injury and repair of various cardiac substructures.
