Heat shock protein 70 (HSP70), an evolutionarily conserved molecular chaperone, serves as a central regulator within tumor immune networks. This review summarizes the multiple immune regulatory mechanisms mediated by HSP70 through its specific domains: promoting antigen presentation and cross-presentation processes; prolonging immune response duration; regulating innate and adaptive immune responses; and interacting with immune checkpoint molecules like programmed death-1 ligand 1 (PD-L1). In translation of clinical research, HSP70 can serve as a vaccine adjuvant to enhance immunogenicity, while its inhibitors can overcome resistance to immunotherapy. Additionally, membrane-bound HSP70 represents a potential immunotherapeutic target, and its targeting strategies show significant synergistic effects when combined with immune checkpoint inhibitors. However, due to the functional redundancy of the molecular chaperone network, the clinical efficacy of single-agent HSP70 inhibition is limited. In-depth elucidation of HSP70's synergistic regulatory mechanisms within the chaperone interaction network has important implications for developing novel tumor immunotherapy strategies.

Objective:To observe the effect of comprehensive rehabilitation training in a group on the speech and life quality of stroke survivors with dysarthria.Methods:Stroke survivors with dysarthria were randomly divided into an observation group (of 43) and a control group (of 41). In addition to routine medication, the control group was given 30 minutes of one-to-one rehabilitation training twice a day, 6 days a week for 4 weeks while the observation group was provided with 30 minutes of group training. Before and after the intervention, both groups were evaluated using the comprehensive dysarthria assessment scale and the WHOQOL-100 life quality assessment.Results:After the treatment, both groups′ average scores on the comprehensive assessment scale had improved significantly. Except for jaw positioning, all of the observation group′s other scores were significantly better than those of the control group, on average. The observation group also performed significantly better on the WHOQOL-100 assessment, on average.Conclusions:Group rehabilitation training can improve the speech function and life quality of stroke survivors with dysarthria significantly better than one-to-one training.

Objective To investigate the effects and the mechanism of thrombospondin 4 (Thbs4) gene-edited bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) transplantation on vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and angiopoietin-1 (Ang-1) in diabetic rats with hind limb ischemia. Methods Thirty Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into the model group, BMSCs treatment group and Thbs4-BMSCs treatment group on average. After constructing the typeⅡdiabetic rat model with hind limb ischemia, 100μl normal saline, BMSCs suspension and Thbs4-BMSCs suspension (cell number: 2×106) were locally injected into the ischemic injury area of rats for the model group, BMSCs group and Thbs4-BMSCs group, respectively. The rats were sacrificed on the 14th day after stem cell transplantation, and the muscle tissues near the ischemic area were collected. The relative expression of VEGF and p-Smad2/3 protein was detected by Western Blot. The Ang-1 protein expression was detected by immunofluorescence staining. The levels of related genes were detected by qRT-PCR, and the von Willebrand Factor (vWF) protein expression was detected by immunohistochemistry staining. Results The relative expression levels of VEGF, Ang-1 and vWF protein in the Thbs4-BMSCs group were significantly higher than those in the model group and BMSCs group (VEGF protein:P<0.01 and P<0.05). The mRNA expression of VEGF and Ang-1 were significantly up-regulated, the differences were statistically significant(VEGF mRNA:all P<0.01;Ang-1:P<0.01 and P<0.05). The expression of p-Smad2/3 protein in the Thbs4-BMSCs group was significantly higher than that in the model group and the BMSCs treatment group (all P<0.01). The expression of p-Smad2/3 protein was significantly decreased after the addition of p-Smad2/3 pathway inhibitor, the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusions Thbs4-BMSCs transplantation can effectively promote angiogenesis in diabetic rats with hind limb ischemia, and the effect of angiogenesis may be related to the activation of Smad2/3 signaling pathway.

Methods:
Urine arsenic samples were prepared with normal human urine as matrix. The homogeneity of the samples was investigated and the results were statistically analyzed by single factor analysis of variance. 2 samples were issued to each participant laboratory. A robust statistical four-point distance method was used to calculate the results submitted by each participant laboratory and the test capability of the laboratory was assessed by the z-score method. By means of method experiments and records, the reasons of dissatisfaction and the influencing factors of the results were discussed.
