The clinical application of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) has significantly improved the prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients. With the widespread applica-tion of ICIs in HCC, the management of immune-related adverse events (irAE) gained more and more attention. However, the complicated disease characteristics and various combination therapies in HCC throw out challenges to irAE management. Therefore, the editorial board of the 'Chinese expert consensus on the management of immune-related adverse events of hepatocellular carcinoma treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors (2021 edition)' organizes multidisciplinary experts to discuss and formulate this consensus. The consensus focuses on issues related to HCC irAE manage-ment, and puts forward suggestions, in order to improve standardized and safety clinical medication, so as to maximize the benefits of immunotherapy for patients.

Objective To observe the expression of matrix metalloproteinase(MMP-2, MMP-9 and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in retinoblastoma (RB) and its relationship with the differentiation and optic nerve infiltration of RB. Methods Forty paraffin specimens of pathological confirmed RB were studied. They were divided into differentiated group (15 cases) and undifferentiated group (25 cases) , optic nerve infiltration group( 13 cases) and without optic nerve infiltration group(27cases). The expression of MMP-2, MMP-9 and VEGF were detected by immunohistochemistry, their relationships with the differentiation and optic nerve infiltration were also analyzed. Results The positive rate of MMP-2, MMP-9 and VEGF expression in 40 RB cases were 52.5%, 57.5% and 72.5%respectively. The expression of MMP-2, MMP-9 and VEGF in the undifferentiated group were significantly higher than those in the differentiated group (χ2= 9. 037, 9. 253, 8. 095;P＜0. 05). The expression ofMMP-2, MMP-9 and VEGF in RB with optic nerve infiltration group were significantly higher than those in RB without optic nerve infiltration group (χ2=11.045,10. 243, 8. 956;P＜0. 05). The expression of MMP-2,MMP-9 had a positive correlation with the expression of VEGF in RB (r= 0. 126, 0. 314;P ＜ 0. 05).Conclusions MMP-2, MMP-9 and VEGF expressed in RB tumor tissues. The expression of MMP-2,MMP-9 has a positive correlation with the expression of VEGF. The levels of MMP-2, MMP-9 and VEGF expression are related to optic nerve infiltration of RB cells.

Objective To study the effects of imatinib mesylate on the apoptosis in human melanoma cell line M14.Methods M14 cells were cultured in vitro in the presence of imatinib mesylate at three concentrations(5,10 and 20 μmol/L)for 96 hours.Sebsequeutly,annexin V-FITC and propidium iodide(PI)double staining flow cytometry and terminal deoxvnucleotidvl transferase (TdT)-mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL)were used to detect the cell cycle and apoptosis,respectively,DAPI staining to observe the mot-phological changes.and Western blot to measure the protein expressions of bcl-2 and bax in cells.Results Imatinib mesylate of the three concentrations could induce an evident increase in the apoptosis in M14 cells.Compared with untreated M14 cells,an increase of cell population in S phase was observed in imatinib mesylate.treated cells(P<0.05),along with a decline in cell population in G2/M phases(P<0.01).Annexin V/PI double staining and TUNEL revealed a significant increase in the rate of early apoptosis and in the acount of apoptotic cells,respectively,in M14 cells treated with imatinib mesylate of the three concentrations(all P<0.01).After treated with imatinib mesylate of 20 μmol/L.there was a morphological change characteristic of apoptosis in M14 cells,together with an upregulated expression of bcl-2(t=15.46,P<0.01)and downregu-lated expression of bax(t=25.53,P<0.01).Conclusions Imatinib mesylate can interfere with the process of cell cycle of and induce the apoptosis in M14 cells,which may be mediated through mitochondrial pathway.

The modeling of signal transduction pathways is a task of systems biology. However, such a task is very difficult because of the structure complexity, the strong nonlinearity of signaling pathways and the noised and incomplete measurements. The Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm (LM algorithm) is applied to estimate the unknown parameters of the signaling pathways. With this method, the identifiability of unknown parameters is appraised, and the sensitivity equations of original model are evaluated. Then we append the sensitivity equations to the original model in order to form the augmented model, and we apply the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm to the augmented model in order to estimate parameters. TNFalpha mediated NF-kappaB signaling pathway is taken as an example to illustrate the effectiveness of this method, and the simulation results are given.
