Objective To observe the expression changes ofmiR-34a and its related target genes sirtuin 1 (Sirtl) and nuclear factor-E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) in subependymal zone (SVZ) of rats after cerebral ischemia,and to explore the effect of miR-34a on proliferation of endogenous neural stem cells (NSCs) after cerebral ischemia.Methods Forty SD rats were randomly divided into control group,cerebral ischemia one d group,cerebral ischemia three d group and cerebral ischemia 7 d group (n=10).Middle cerebral artery occlusion models were established by thread embolization in the latter three groups,and the SVZs were taken one,three and 7 d after model making,respectively.Immunofluorescence staining was used to detect the expression of nestin,real-time PCR was used to detect the mRNA expressions ofmiR-34a,Sirtl and Nrf2,and Western blotting was used to detect the protein expressions of Sirt1 and Nrf2.Results (1) In SVZs of cerebral ischemia one d group,cerebral ischemia three d group and cerebral ischemia 7 d group,the number of nestin positive cells increased gradually ([2.013±0.526],[4.821 ±1.154],and [6.394±1.027]) cells/filed,with statistical differences (P＜0.05).(2) In SVZs of cerebral ischemia one d group,cerebral ischemia three d group and cerebral ischemia 7 d group,the expression levels of miR-34a mRNA increased gradually (0.295±0.145,0.701 ±0.075,and 1.136±0.018),the Sirt1 mRNA expression levels showed a downward trend (0.835±0.024,0.620±0.133,and 0.278±0.110),the Nrf2 mRNA expression levels obviously decreased (1.032±0.256,0.833±0.187,and 0.630±0.123),the Sirt1 protein expression levels showed a downward trend (0.832±0.018,0.731±0.156,and 0.454±0.132),and the Nrf2 protein expression levels obviously decreased (1.003±0.133,0.813±0.111,and 0.671 ±0.071),with statistically significant differences (P＜0.05).(3)Statistical correlation analysis showed that the number of nestin positive cells was positively correlated with miR-34a mRNA expression level and negatively correlated with Sirt1 and Nrf2 mRNA and protein expression levels after cerebral ischemia (r=0.887,P=0.003;r=-0.746,P=0.005;r=-0.521,P=0.013;r=-0.344,P=0.025;r=-0.863,P=0.000).Conclusions MiR-34a may regulate the proliferation of NSCs through Sirt1/Nrf2 pathway after cerebral ischemia.

【Objective】 To learn more about the role of therapeutic plasma exchange in the management of cytokines release syndrome(CRS) after chimeric antigen receptor T(CAR-T) infusion by reviewing and analyzing the diagnosis and treatment of one case. 【Methods】 The diagnosis and treatment of lymphoma patients with CAR-T infusion related CRS were described, and case analysis was carried out by searching PubMed, Elsevier, Wiley, CNKI, and other databases for relevant guidelines, clinical trials, and case reports. 【Results】 The patient was diagnosed with follicular cell lymphoma. Progressive disease(PD) was assessed after multiple courses of treatment, and anti-CD19/20 CAR-T cell therapy was administered.The patient developed a high fever and chills, secondary dyspnea and hypotension at night on the day of infusion, and the inflammatory factors such as C-reactive protein(CRP) and interleukin-6(IL-6) increased sharply, suggesting the occurrence of cytokines release syndrome(CRS). After the patient was given symptomatic antipyretic, broad-spectrum anti-infection, tumor necrosis factor(TNF) antibody and three occasions of plasma exchange, the clinical manifestations of CRS gradually relieved. Three months after discharge, the patient was in complete response(CR). 【Conclusion】 CAR-T-associated CRS is a serious cellular immunotherapy-related toxicity that can result in multiple organ failure or even death in patients. Therapeutic plasma exchange may be a potential treatment for some patients with severe CRS.

【Objective】 To explore the prognostic impact and clinical application value of therapeutic plasma exchange(TPE) intervention timing and liver injury periodization in patients with exertional heat stroke(EHS). 【Methods】 Data of 127 EHS patients from the First Medical Center of the General Hospital of the People′s Liberation Army from January 2011 to December 2023 were collected, then divided into the death group and the survival group based on therapeutic outcomes and into 5 stages according to the dynamic changes of ALT, AST, TBIL and DBIL. According to propensity score matching analysis, 11 patients in the survival group and 12 patients in the death group were included in the statistical analysis, and 20 of them were treated with TPE. The changes in indicators and clinical outcomes before and after TPE were observed, in order to evaluate the impact of intervention timing on prognosis. 【Results】 Among the 23 patients, 14 had no liver injury or could progress to the repair phase, resulting in 3 deaths(with the mortality rate of 21.43%), while 9 patients failed to progress to the repair phase, resulting in 9 deaths(with the mortality rate of 100%), with significant differences(P<0.05). The mortality rate of the first TPE intervention before the third stage of liver injury was 23.08%(3/13), while that of intervention after reaching or exceeding the third stage was 85.71%(6/7), and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 TPE should be executed actively in EHS patients combined with liver injury before the third phase to lock its pathological and physiological processes, thereby improving prognosis and reducing mortality.

Digital guided therapy (DGT) has been advocated as a contemporary computer-aided technique for treating endodontic diseases in recent decades. The concept of DGT for endodontic diseases is categorized into static guided endodontics (SGE), necessitating a meticulously designed template, and dynamic guided endodontics (DGE), which utilizes an optical triangulation tracking system. Based on cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images superimposed with or without oral scan (OS) data, a virtual template is crafted through software and subsequently translated into a 3-dimensional (3D) printing for SGE, while the system guides the drilling path with a real-time navigation in DGE. DGT was reported to resolve a series of challenging endodontic cases, including teeth with pulp obliteration, teeth with anatomical abnormalities, teeth requiring retreatment, posterior teeth needing endodontic microsurgery, and tooth autotransplantation. Case reports and basic researches all demonstrate that DGT stand as a precise, time-saving, and minimally invasive approach in contrast to conventional freehand method. This expert consensus mainly introduces the case selection, general workflow, evaluation, and impact factor of DGT, which could provide an alternative working strategy in endodontic treatment.
