Carbon nanotube (CNT) is an important class of artificial nanomaterials with diverse potentials of nanobiomedical application. Before being introduced into bio-systems, it is necessary to explore the behavior and fate of CNTs in cells. However, limited understandings or information has been currently obtained in this realm, even some experimental results from different labs are conflicted. In this review, we focused on the location of CNTs in various cells as well as on the mechanisms of CNTs crossing the cell membranes. On the basis of data analysis shown by the current literatures, it was suggested that CNTs could enter cell's nucleus in certain conditions. Endocytosis and diffusion both exist; however, in some cases, one of them exhibited as major path, while the other one was not detectable because of the challenge resulting from the complex biological environments. The obstacles to powerful and standard characterizations of CNTs have also been discussed.

Frailty is the clinical syndrome that occurs due to an increase in personal vulnerability and a decline in the ability to maintain one′s internal balance, which is closely related to the development of bladder cancer in the elderly. The research on frailty of elderly patients with bladder cancer in China is still in its infancy. This article discussed the risks of bladder cancer and frailty, the necessity of preoperative frailty assessment in patients with bladder cancer, commonly used assessment tools, and summarized the limitations of the existing evaluation tools to provide reference for further developing and improving the frailty evaluation tools and applications for bladder cancer patients research provides reference.

With the progressive advance and application of information technology,general artificial intelligence technology is leading the fourth industrial revolution,and opens a new era in terms of changing people's produc-tion,life and learning.The digital age is characterized by more emphasis on the comprehensive cultivation of com-petence,trans-border integration,collaborative communication,innovative consciousness,critical thinking and problem-solving.Data-driven educational transformation is one of the important directions of education reform,in which digital literacy of college teachers is crucial to data-driven educational transformation.From the perspective of data-driven educational transformation enabling the improvement of digital literacy of medical college teachers,the present article analyzed the positive impact on improving the quality and personalization of education as well as pro-fessional capacity building and faculty development to meet the needs of medical education in the new era.

Frailty refers to a clinical syndrome that occurs due to an increase in personal vulnerability and a decline in the ability to maintain one's internal balance, which is closely related to the development of bladder cancer in the aged. Cancer accelerates frailty, and preoperative frailty is an independent predictor of adverse health outcomes for patients undergoing radical cystectomy. It is of great significance in guiding the formulation of perioperative safety management plans for aged patients undergoing radical cystectomy. At present, China's research on the frailty of aged patients undergoing radical cystectomy is still in its infancy. This article reviewed the preoperative frailty assessment, the relationship between bladder cancer and frailty, and the safety management strategies for frail aged patients undergoing radical cystectomy, in order to provide a reference for the development of preoperative frailty research in aged patients with bladder cancer in China.
