Objective To study MR imaging features of dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumors (DNET). Methods MRI ap-pearances of 10 patients with surgery and pathology proved DNET were analyzed retrospectively. All of 10 patients underwent routine and contrast-enhanced MRI. Results All lesions were located in the regions near the surface of brain,including frontal lobe (4 ca-ses) ,parietal lobe (4 cases),temporal lobe (1 case) and parietoinsular lobe (1 case). The lesions appeared as sector in 4 cases, re-versed triangle in 4 cases,irregularity in 2 cases. Homogeneous or heterogeneous long T_1 and long Tz signal intensity were seen on MR imaging. The lesion showed predominant cystic component and septa, no obvious mass effect and peritumoral edema could be found in all cases. Bone thinning of the adjacent calvaria could be seen in 6 cases. On post contrast MRI scan,the lesions had no obvi-ous enhancement in 6 cases ,while mild enhancement could be found in the intra-tumorous solid nodule or septations in 4 cases. Conclusion DNETs are of certain clinical manifestations and MRI features,it is helpful for preoperative diagnosis of DNET.

Objective:To investigate the clinical features and prognosis of septic shock(SS) children with different basic diseases in pediatric intensive care unit (PICU).Methods:The medical records of SS children admitted to PICU at Beijing Children′s Hospital from January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2019 were collected retrospectively.They were grouped according to the presence or absence of basic diseases and types of basic diseases.The clinical characteristics, prognosis and pathogens of SS under different basic diseases were summarized.Results:A total of 218 children with SS were included during the study period, and the overall case fatality rate was 21.6%(47/218). There were 141 cases with basic diseases, accounting for 64.7%(141/218) and 24.1%(34/141) case fatality rate.The mortality rate was highest(37.5%, 17/45) in the malignant hematologic diseases and tumors patients with post-chemotherapy bone marrow suppression, and lowest(16.9%, 13/77) in patients with no underlying diseases.Gram-negative bacterial infection was more common in SS children with underlying diseases(63.1%, 41/65), and was highest in the malignant hematologic diseases and tumors patients with post-chemotherapy bone marrow suppression(80.0%, 20/25). Gram-positive bacteria accounted for the highest proportion in the group without underlying disease(52.1%, 25/48). The incidence of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome(MODS) was the highest(95.6%, 43/45) in the malignant hematologic diseases and tumors patients with post-chemotherapy bone marrow suppression, and the lowest(59.7%, 46/77) in the group without underlying disease.Conclusion:Gram-negative bacteria is the most common pathogen in SS children with underlying diseases, especially in malignant hematologic diseases and tumors patients with post-chemotherapy bone marrow suppression, and with high mortality and incidence of MODS.Gram-positive bacteria is the most common pathogen for those without underlying diseases, with a relatively low mortality and incidence of MODS.

Objective To prepare a red blood cells based multifunctional nanoscaled drug delivery system,and to study its in vitro photothermal and photodynamic effects.Methods The indocyanine green (ICG)/doxorubicin (DOX) co-loaded nanoscaled red blood cells (DIRAs) were prepared using an extrusion method.The morphology,particle size,encapsulation efficiency,and stability were determined.The heating related change of particle size was studied using a size and potential tester.The in vitro photothermal effect was studied using an infrared imaging device.The uptake of DIRAs to 4T1 cells was studied using a CLSM examination.The in vitro photodynamic effect was studied using a fluorescence probe and CLSM examination.Results DIRAs were successfully prepared with a uniform and homogeneous size which was about (97.0±20.1) nm.The Zeta potential was about-21.6 mV and the encapsulation efficiency of ICG and DOX were 93.5% and 95.2%,respectively.The DIRAs had excellent stability within 28 days.This nanoscaled drug delivery system had identical photothermal effect compared to free ICG.The cellular uptake of DOX was significantly improved after the laser irradiation and the photodynamic effect was enhanced.Conclusions The prepared DIRAs have regular shape,suitable particle size,high encapsulation efficiency and high photothermal conversion efficiency.DIRAs can improve the cellular uptake of DOX and enhance the photodynamic efficiency.This biomimetic muhifunctional nano-system could facilitate breast cancer treatment by combining PTT7PDT and chemotherapy.

The biomimetic strategy of using the cell membrane-coated nanoparticles can retain the physical and chemical properties of the nanoparticles and show the biological characteristics of the source cell membrane, which can further enhance the role of the nanodrug in tumor treatment. A hybrid cell membrane is the fusion of two or more different types of cell membranes. A hybrid cell membrane can endow nanoparticles with multiple biofunctions derived from the source cells compared with a single cell membrane. Hybrid cell membranes provide a foundation to stimulate extensive research into multifunctional biomimetic nano-drug delivery system (NDDS), which is expected to broaden the application of biomimetic nanotechnology in drug delivery systems. In this review paper, the types of hybrid cell membrane used to construct nano-drug delivery systems, the preparation and characterization methods, and cancer treatment research progress in recent years were reviewed.
