Atherosclerosis, a chronic inflammatory disease, is markedly influenced by both immune and inflammatory reactions throughout its progression. Dendritic cells, as pivotal antigen-presenting entities, play a crucial role in the initiation of immune responses and the preservation of immunological homeostasis. Accumulating data indicates that dendritic cells are present in healthy arteries and accumulate significantly in atherosclerotic plaques. Novel immunotherapeutic approaches and vaccination protocols have yielded substantial clinical advancements in managing chronic inflammatory diseases, with dendritic cell-centric modalities emerging for atherosclerotic management. In this review, we delineate the essential functions and underlying mechanisms of dendritic cells and their subsets in the modulation of atherosclerotic inflammation and immune responses. We underscore the immense promise of dendritic cell-based immunotherapeutic strategies, including vaccines and innovative combinations with nanotechnological drug delivery platforms for atherosclerosis treatment. We also discuss the challenges associated with dendritic cell immunotherapy and provide perspectives on the future direction of this field.

T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) is a highly aggressive hematologic malignancy with a poor prognosis, despite advancements in treatment. Many patients struggle with relapse or refractory disease. Investigating the role of the super-enhancer (SE) regulated gene ubiquitin-specific protease 20 (USP20) in T-ALL could enhance targeted therapies and improve clinical outcomes. Analysis of histone H3 lysine 27 acetylation (H3K27ac) chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-seq) data from six T-ALL cell lines and seven pediatric samples identified USP20 as an SE-regulated driver gene. Utilizing the Cancer Cell Line Encyclopedia (CCLE) and BloodSpot databases, it was found that USP20 is specifically highly expressed in T-ALL. Knocking down USP20 with short hairpin RNA (shRNA) increased apoptosis and inhibited proliferation in T-ALL cells. In vivo studies showed that USP20 knockdown reduced tumor growth and improved survival. The USP20 inhibitor GSK2643943A demonstrated similar anti-tumor effects. Mass spectrometry, RNA-Seq, and immunoprecipitation revealed that USP20 interacted with hypoxia-inducible factor 1 subunit alpha (HIF1A) and stabilized it by deubiquitination. Cleavage under targets and tagmentation (CUT&Tag) results indicated that USP20 co-localized with HIF1A, jointly modulating target genes in T-ALL. This study identifies USP20 as a therapeutic target in T-ALL and suggests GSK2643943A as a potential treatment strategy.

Compared with conventional transdermal drug delivery systems, dissolving microneedles significantly enhance drug bioavailability by penetrating the stratum corneum barrier and achieving intradermal drug delivery. In order to improve the transdermal bioavailability of dexmedetomidine hydrochloride, in this study, a novel microneedle delivery system was developed for dexmedetomidine hydrochloride based on 3D printing combined with micro-molding. By systematically optimizing the microneedle geometrical parameters, array arrangement, and preparation process parameters, we determined the optimal ratio of drug-carrying matrix as 15% PVP (polyvinyl pyrrolidone) K90. The microneedles exhibited significant drug loading gradients, with mean content of (209.99±27.56) μg/patch, (405.31±30.31) μg/patch, and (621.61±34.43) μg/patch. They showed a regular pyramidal structure under SEM and handheld electron microscopy, and their mechanical strength allowed effective penetration into the stratum corneum. The surface contact angles were all < 90°, indicating excellent hydrophilicity. The microneedles dissolved completely within 10 min after skin insertion, achieving a cumulative release rate of 90% (Higuchi model, r=0.996) during 2 hours of in vitro transdermal permeation. The cytotoxicity test and hemolysis test verified good biocompatibility. Pharmacodynamic evaluation showed that the microneedle group demonstrated pain-relieving effect within 15 min, with the pain threshold at the time point of 60 min being 3 times that in the transdermal cream group. The microneedle system developed in this study not only offers an efficient drug delivery option for patients but also establishes an innovative platform for rapid percutaneous delivery of hydrophilic drugs, demonstrating significant potential in perioperative pain management.

Arrhythmia is an important disease among cardiovascular diseases. Malignant arrhythmias often occur clinically and are induced by abnormal ion channels， electrical activity disorders， myocardial fibrosis， inflammation， dysfunctional mitochondrial biogenesis， mitochondrial calcium overload， out-of-balance energy metabolism， oxidative stress， sympathetic hyperactivity， and other pathological cardiac remodeling， and they are the main causes of sudden cardiac death. In traditional Chinese medicine， arrhythmias are considered to be palpitations， which are commonly caused by deficiency of Qi and Yin. It is often manifested as a deficiency of the spleen and stomach， resulting in malfunction of the Qi mechanism， followed by a particularly severe decline in cardiac function. Shengmaisan is a representative formula for nourishing Qi and Yin， consisting of Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma， Ophiopogonis Radix， and Schisandrae Chinensis Fructus. In recent years， clinical studies have shown that Shengmaisan and its additions and subtractions are commonly used in the treatment of arrhythmias. In this article， the mechanisms of the active ingredients of Shengmaisan in the electrophysiology， biochemistry， structure， autonomic nervous system， and subcellular fraction of the heart are reviewed， and the multi-target， multi-system， and integrality of Shengmaisan in the treatment of arrhythmias of Qi and Yin deficiency are described. In addition， energy metabolism disorder is tightly juxtaposed with Qi and Yin deficiency syndrome. Mitochondria， as the center of myocardial energy metabolism， play a paramount role in cardiac remodeling， indicating that Shengmaisan will be a salient part of future research to ameliorate cardiac pathologic remodeling through energy metabolism of mitochondria， so as to provide a theoretical basis for the clinical treatment of these arrhythmias.

Objectives:To analyze and compare the disease burden of ischemic stroke due to tobacco exposure (including active and passive smoking) and its changing trends in China from 1990 to 2019,and to provide a reference for precise prevention and control of ischemic stroke. Methods:Based on the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019 database,we analyzed the burden of ischemic stroke disease attributable to tobacco exposure and its trends in different age and sex populations in China from 1990 to 2019,and compared the epidemiological differences in the burden of ischemic stroke disease attributable to active versus passive smoking. Results:Between 1990 and 2019,the disease burden of ischemic stroke attributable to tobacco exposure showed a decreasing trend in China and globally,but the decrease was relatively small in China.In 2019,the age-standardized mortality rate (ASMR) and age-standardized disability-adjusted life-year rate (ASDR) of ischemic stroke attributable to tobacco exposure in China were 10.64/100000 and 239.39/100000,both higher than the global average levels (5.85/100000 and 140.23/100000 respectively).The actual mortality and disability-adjusted life year (DALY) rates for ischemic stroke due to tobacco exposure in 2019 increased by 103.79％ and 90.48％,respectively,compared with 1990.There was a sex difference in the disease burden of ischemic stroke due to active and passive smoking,with the number of deaths,mortality,DALY,and DALY rates for ischemic stroke due to active smoking being significantly higher in men than in women.Conversely,the burden of ischemic stroke due to passive smoking was higher in women.At the age level,ischemic stroke attributable to both active and passive smoking presented the highest number of deaths,mortality,and DALY rates among those ≥70 years of age.Whereas DALY for ischemic stroke attributable to active smoking was mainly concentrated in those aged 50-69 years,DALY for ischemic stroke attributable to passive smoking was mainly concentrated in those aged ≥70 years. Conclusions:The disease burden of ischemic stroke attributable to tobacco exposure is higher in China than the global average level.The burden of ischemic stroke disease attributable to active and passive smoking varies significantly by sex and age,and more targeted tobacco control policies should be developed in China.
