1.The role and mechanism of mucosal immunity in respiratory viral infections
International Journal of Pediatrics 2025;52(8):509-514
Respiratory tract infections are common types of infectious diseases in children,involving a variety of immune responses. Understanding the immune mechanisms between viruses and hosts during respiratory infections helps to improve the prevention and treatment of viral infections. The mucosal immune system,as the first line of defense for the body,protects the respiratory tract from pathogen invasion through physical barriers,chemical barriers,microbial barriers,immune cells,and lymphatic tissue. In addition,mucosal immunity also contributes to tissue repair after infection. This article briefly reviews the composition of mucosal immunity and its immune mechanisms in respiratory viral infections,providing a reference for the research of anti-respiratory viral infections and mucosal vaccines.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and feasibility of a domestically developed robotic surgical system based on fiber-optic dedicated line communication in cross-regional urological telesurgery.Methods:This was multicenter,single-arm,retrospective case series study. The data of patients who underwent urological telesurgeries using the telesurgical system between January 2023 and December 2024 were analyzed. The cohort included 59 patients from seven hospitals across China. Among the patients,47 were male(79.7%)and 12 were female(20.3%),with a median age of 63.0(56.0,68.0)years and a body mass index of(24.7 ± 3.0)kg/m 2. Surgical procedures included 32 radical prostatectomies,24 partial nephrectomies,one radical nephrectomy,one adrenalectomy,and one ureteral reconstruction. The perioperative indicators,pathological results and postoperative complications were analyzed. The network monitoring data were collected,and the perioperative data of patients,remote system monitoring data and costs were compared between the two communication modes of optical transport network(OTN)and cloud-connect network(CCN). Results:All 59 remote surgeries were successfully completed,with a mean operative time of(138.0 ± 54.0)minutes,median intraoperative blood loss of 50.0(30.0,100.0)ml and a postoperative hospital stay of 5.0(4.0,6.0)days. No cases required reoperation,Clavien-Dindo grade ≥3 complications,or readmission. The geographical distance between the primary and remote surgical sites ranged from 450 to 2 800 km. Network monitoring revealed increased bidirectional latency with distance increasing:the shortest latency time(Hefei-Hangzhou,450 km)was(16.59 ± 0.80)ms,while the longest(Harbin-Hangzhou,2 200 km)latency time was(53.31 ± 0.31)ms. Average frame loss per procedure was 0?1.27 frames. The results of subgroup analysis comparing OTN and CCN communication modes showed no significant differences in operative time[(130.7 ± 70.5)minutes vs.(142.1 ± 42.9)minutes, P = 0.442],postoperative hospitalization[6.0(4.0,8.0)d vs. 5.0(4.0,6.0)d, P = 0.581],or readmission rates(0 vs. 0). However,CCN demonstrated significant cost advantages with 500 RMB per operation vs. 3 000 RMB per operation for OTN. Conclusions:Urological telesurgery using fiber-optic communication is feasible. The CCN mode,with its cost-effectiveness,excellent usability,and multi-point interconnection flexibility,is currently the preferred communication model for telesurgical applications.

Objective:To identify risk factors influencing clinical efficacy of endoscopic resection of small rectal neuroendocrine tumor (NETs).Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on patients with rectal NETs ≤10 mm who underwent endoscopic resection from 2013 to 2022. Patients were divided into the endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) group and the endoscopic mucosal resection with ligation (EMRL) group according to the treatment methods. After comparing the baseline data, propensity score matching was performed to compare the rates of R1 resection and adequacy of vertical margin distance.Results:A total of 186 patients were included in this study, with 139 receiving ESD and 47 receiving EMRL. The R1 resection rates were 12.2% (17/139) and 2.1% (1/47) in the ESD and EMRL group, respectively ( χ2=3.027, P=0.082). A significant difference in vertical margin adequacy was observed between the two groups [69.1% (96/139) VS 85.1% (40/47), χ2=4.598, P=0.032]. After propensity score matching, 46 pairs of cases were included, and there were no significant differences in the R1 resection rate [6.5% (3/46) VS 2.2% (1/46), χ2=0.261, P=0.609] and vertical margin adequacy [78.3% (36/46) VS 84.8% (39/46), χ2=0.649, P=0.420] between the two groups. Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analyses revealed that operator experience and preoperative biopsy were independent risk factors for inadequate margin. Conclusion:Treatment method may not be the key factor affecting the distance of the vertical margin after endoscopic resection, but preoperative biopsy and operator experience have a significant impact on margins. Biopsy before endoscopic resection should be avoided, and less experienced doctors are recommended to use EMRL method for small NETs due to its ease of execution.

Objective To systematically construct patient-derived tumor organoid(PDO)and patient-derived xenograft(PDX)models of prostate cancer(PCa),and to explore the inhibitory effect and mechanism of gambogic acid(GA)on PCa.Methods The PubChem,SwissTargetPrediction,SuperPred,SEA,GeneCards,OMIM,and STRING databases,and the Venny 2.1.0 online website,Cytoscape 3.8.2,and DAVID software were used to construct a protein-protein interaction network.Gene ontology(GO)and kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes(KEGG)enrichment analyses were carried out,and visualization processing was performed to identify the targets and pathways of GA acting on PCa.GA was applied to PDOs and PCa cells(22Rv1,PC3,and DU145)for 48 hours and its effects on cell viability were assessed by CellTiter-Glo and CCK-8 assays.Changes in gene and protein levels of the targets were analyzed by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and Western Blot,respectively.The PDX model was treated with GA and the tumor volume and weight were measured.Changes in expression levels of the targets in tumor tissues were detected by immunohistochemistry.Results Network pharmacology identified signal transducer and activator of transcription 3(STAT3)as the core target of GA inhibiting PCa,related to the hypoxia-inducible factor(HIF)-1α signaling pathway.GA reduced the viability of cells and PDOs and significantly down-regulated HIF-1α,STAT3,and P-STAT3 protein levels.In vivo experiments,tumor volume and weight were significantly reduced in the GA group,and immunohistochemistry showed that STAT3 and HIF-1α expression levels were decreased.Conclusions The clinically representative PDO and PDX models,combined with cell lines,verified the prediction result of network pharmacology,confirming a significant killing effect of GA on PCa,possibly via a mechanism related to the STAT3/HIF-1α signaling pathway.
