Objective A phase Ⅱ trial of anti-programmed death-1 (PD-1) monoclonal antibody CT-011,an anti PD-1 humanized monoclonal antibody combined with rituximab therapy in patients with relapsed follicular lymphoma (FL) were conducted.Methods In order to evaluate the safety and efficacy of CT-011,the impacts of CT-011 on immune cells both from the peripheral blood (PB) samples and tumor microenvironment were examined.PB and core needle biopsies from involved lymph nodes were collected prior to and on day 14 after the first infusion of CT-011.PB mononuclear cells (PBMC) were analyzed by multiparametric flow cytometry to determine various immune cell subsets.Whole genome gene expression profiling (GEP) was performed on core needle biopsies.Results A significant increase in the absolute number of PB immune cells were observed in day 14 samples compared with baseline including total lymphocyte count (P ＜ 0.01),CD+3 T cells (P =0.01),CD+4 T cells (P ＜ 0.01).Comparison of GEP from core needle biopsies obtained pretreatment and day 14 (n =8 pairs) showed up regulation of several genes associated with T cell activation.Conclusion Administration of CT-011 was associated with increase in the numbers of CD+4 T cells and resulted in activation of T cells in the PB and the tumor microenvironment in FL.These results provide insight into the mechanism of action of CT-011 and offer a predictive biomarker for selection of patients for future clinical trials with this class of agents in FL.

Objective To understand the characteristics and distribution of injury related deaths in residents aged ≥60 years in Jing'an district of Shanghai and provide evidence for the prevention of injury and effective intervention in this population.Methods According to the data from diseases surveillance and death-reporting system in Jing'an during 1975-2014,the causes of 5 199 injury related deaths were analyzed.Results The average injury related mortality in the elderly aged ≥60 years in Jing'an was 159.37/100 000 during this period.The injury related mortality increased with age.Fall was the first cause of injury related death,accounting for 53.30％.The characteristics and distribution of injury related deaths varied with age and gender.Conclusion Injury has become an important cause affecting the health of the elderly.It is necessary to conducted targeted injury prevention and control in the elderly in communities.

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy has achieved remarkable success in the treatment of hematological malignancies. Based on the immunomodulatory capability of CAR-T cells, efforts have turned toward exploring their potential in treating autoimmune diseases. Bibliometric analysis of 210 records from 128 academic journals published by 372 institutions in 40 countries/regions indicates a growing number of publications on CAR-T therapy for autoimmune diseases, covering a range of subtypes such as systemic lupus erythematosus, multiple sclerosis, among others. CAR-T therapy holds promise in mitigating several shortcomings, including the indiscriminate suppression of the immune system by traditional immunosuppressants, and non-sustaining therapeutic levels of monoclonal antibodies due to inherent pharmacokinetic constraints. By persisting and proliferating in vivo, CAR-T cells can offer a tailored and precise therapeutics. This paper reviewed preclinical experiments and clinical trials involving CAR-T and CAR-related therapies in various autoimmune diseases, incorporating innovations well-studied in the field of hematological tumors, aiming to explore a safe and effective therapeutic option for relapsed/refractory autoimmune diseases.

ObjectiveTo analyze the epidemiological characteristics of senile dementia death in Jing’an District from 2016 to 2020， as well as the trends of mortality， standardized mortality， years of life lost （YLL） due to early death， years lived with disability （YLD）， and disability-adjusted life year （DALY）， and to provide scientific basis for the prevention and control of senile dementia. MethodsThe distribution of senile dementia in terms of gender， age， marital status and education level was investigated in the senile dementia death cases from 2016 to 2020 in Jing’an District. The YLL， YLD， DALY and their rates of the residents of Jing’an District from 2016 to 2020 were calculated by using Global Burden of Disease （GBD 2019） research method and results in combination with the corresponding population data. ResultsCompared to those without dementia， deaths with dementia were more likely to be female， more likely to be over 80 years old， less likely to be married， and more likely to have education level under middle school. Among the deaths with dementia， only 27.70% of the primary cause of death was dementia， and the other main causes were cerebrovascular disease， coronary heart disease and diabetes mellitus， which accounted for 25.54%， 17.81% and 7.28%， respectively. There was a significant gender difference in the burden of disease on senile dementia in Jing’an District. Mortality， standardized mortality， YLL， YLD and DALY rates of females were higher than those of males. The burden of disease on senile dementia increased with age. The change trend of mortality and YLL rate from 2016 to 2020 was not statistically significant， while the YLD rate and DALY rate showed an upward trend， which was statistically significant. ConclusionAs the life span of residents in Jing’an District increases and the population aging deepens， the burden of disease on senile dementia is still heavy. This requires extensive attention of the whole society， and active exploration of prevention and control strategies and measures for senile dementia， so as to improve the life quality of patients and reduce the burden of disease.

Background Diabetes mellitus is a major public health issue at present. Previous studies have shown that ambient air pollution is a risk factor for diabetes. Objective This study aims to explore the acute effects of ambient air pollution on diabetes related death in Shanghai Jing’an District. Methods Daily air pollution data, meteorological data, and diabetes related mortality data in 2013−2019 in Shanghai Jing’an District were collected. A generalized additive model (GAM) was established to conduct time-series analysis on the short-term effect of ambient air pollution on diabetes related mortality, and gender- and age-stratified analysis on susceptibility of various groups to ambient air pollution exposures. Results For every 10 μg·m⁻³ increase of the concentrations of PM_2.5, PM₁₀, SO₂, and NO₂, the diabetes related mortality increased by 2.47% (95%CI: 1.56%−3.38%), 2.02% (95%CI: 1.29%−2.75%), 5.75% (95%CI: 2.99%−8.58%), and 3.93% (95%CI: 2.49%−5.39%) at lag05 respectively (P<0.05). In the stratified analysis, exposures to increased concentrations of PM_2.5, PM₁₀, SO₂, and NO₂ raised the mortality risks from diabetes in male, female, and ≥65 years oldgroups (P<0.05). However, the differences in mortality risks from diabetes due to air pollution within gender and age groups were statistically insignificant. Conclusion In Shanghai Jing'an District, the elevated levels of ambient air pollutants, including PM_2.5, PM₁₀, SO₂, and NO₂, are significantly associated with the increase of diabetes related mortality, and there are lag effects and cumulative effects. The ≥65 years olds are more susceptible to the impact of air pollution on diabetes related deaths.
