Multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacterial infections have emerged as a serious challenge of global public health crisis. The overuse and misuse of conventional antibiotics have dramatically accelerated the emergence, evolution and worldwide spread of drug-resistant bacterial strains, necessitating urgent exploration of novel antibacterial strategies. Bacteriophages serve as natural bacterial predators offering distinct advantages including high host specificity, autonomous self-replication capabilities and cost-effective large-scale production. However, wild-type phages present significant clinical limitations due to their narrow host ranges, susceptibility to rapid immune clearance and poor penetration of bacterial biofilms, which severely restrict their therapeutic applications. The convergence of synthetic biology, nanotechnology and advanced gene editing technologies has accelerated the development of engineered bacteriophage platforms, providing programmable, scalable and clinically translatable pathways to overcome these inherent biological constraints. Here, we systematically delineate four fundamental strategies for engineered bacteriophage development. Chemical modification utilizes reactive functional groups such as amino, carboxyl and thiol moieties on capsid proteins through esterification, amidation or click chemistry reactions to achieve precise drug conjugation and surface functionalization. In vivo editing encompasses ultraviolet or chemical mutagenesis for random mutation induction, homologous recombination for targeted genetic alterations, recombineering methodologies including electroporation-mediated bacteriophage recombination engineering, and CRISPR-Cas systems for precise genome editing to enable exact genetic reconstruction and host range reprogramming. In vitro synthesis leverages genome engineering platforms where intact phage genomes are transferred into yeast or host bacteria to facilitate highly efficient homologous recombination, enabling large DNA fragment assembly and cross-gene host range expansion without bacterial toxicity constraints. Directed evolution combines artificial selection through mutation library screening with rational design approaches involving chimeric receptor binding protein construction or site-specific mutagenesis, effectively balancing the discovery of unknown adaptive pathways with targeted host specificity modification. Moreover, we comprehensively discuss therapeutic applications across diverse clinical scenarios. Engineered bacteriophage effectively disrupt bacterial biofilms through sophisticated functionalized delivery platforms including nanozyme-conjugated phages, phage-liposome nanoconjugates and bio-responsive hydrogels, demonstrating significantly enhanced bactericidal efficiency compared to unmodified free phages. These bioengineered vectors attenuate bacterial virulence and resensitize pathogens to antibiotics by delivering CRISPR-Cas systems or base editors to disrupt critical virulence factors such as pili, capsule synthesis machineries and quorum sensing systems, or by inactivating antibiotic resistance determinants including beta-lactamase genes. As an intelligent nanomedicine delivery platform, engineered bacteriophage enable precise pathogen elimination an through photocatalytic reactive oxygen species generation, immunomodulatory interventions, or controlled release of antibacterial drugs. Furthermore, oral administration of engineered bacteriophage facilitates microbiota modulation, which selectively eliminate intestinal pathogens while preserve beneficial commensal microbiota, thereby restoring microbial community balance and preventing complications associated with dysbiosis. Finally, we critically analyze persistent challenges including host strain matching complexity, evolution of bacterial resistance mechanisms, pharmacokinetic optimization requirements, optimal administration route selection, large-scale production quality control standards and clinical dosing determination protocols. Through multidisciplinary integration of synthetic biology, infectious disease medicine and immunology, future translational medicine studies of bacteriophage should establish comprehensive technical platforms encompassing rapid phage screening, intelligent rational design, rigorous in vivo evaluation and standardized clinical validation processes, ultimately advancing engineered bacteriophage from laboratory innovations to clinically approved therapeutics for effectively combating MDR bacterial infections.

Objective: There were associations between emotional abuse and neglect (EAN) and depression, but few studies had tested potential mechanisms underlying these relationships. We aimed to provide insights on how (the mediation role of neuroticism), and under what conditions (the moderator role of psychological resilience), led to a higher level of depression. Methods: This study was a cross-sectional study that used a random cluster sampling method. We randomly selected 3,993 participants from four junior middle schools in northern city of China. Participants were asked to complete four self-reported questionnaires, including the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire, Children Depression Inventory-Short Form, Chinese Big Five Personality Inventory Brief Version, and Chinese Resilience Scale. Results: The results showed that neuroticism mediated the associations between EAN and depression. In addition, the mediating effect of neuroticism was moderated by psychological resilience (p<0.05). Conclusion EAN and neuroticism could have an adverse impact on depression, and psychological resilience could alleviate these negative effects as a moderator. Our model suggested psychological resilience could be a particularly effective intervention point for victims of EAN.

Purpose To investigate the clinicopathological features of traditional serrated adenoma(TSA).Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data,endoscopic,and pathological features of 200 TSA patients.HE staining and immunohistochemical staining were performed.The clinical pathological features were statistically analyzed using x2 test,and relevant literature was reviewed.Results There were 114 males(57.0％)and 86 females(43.0％),with ages ranging from 27 to 92 years(mean age 56.2 years).Among the patients,147(73.5％)were aged ≥ 50 years,and 53(26.5％)were aged＜50 years.Of the 207 TSA lesions,143(69.1％)were located in the distal colon and rectum,while 57(27.5％)were in the proximal colon and rectum.Endoscopic features included 72 lesions(34.8％)with a perpendiculated appearance,48 lesions(23.2％)with a flat appear-ance,and some exhibiting a pinecone-like appearance.The maximum diameter of the lesions was ≤ 10 mm in 136 ca-ses(65.7％),and＞10 mm in 71 cases(34.3％).The typical histopathological features of TSA included serrated contours,eosinophilic cytoplasm,pencil-like nuclei,and ectopic crypt foci.The most common pathological type was the classic TSA(152 lesions,73.4％),followed by the mucin-rich TSA(39 lesions,18.8％).12 cases(5.8％)of TSA exhibited high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia(HGIN)and 3 case(1.5％)of TSA progressed to carcinoma,con-sistent with TSA-originated colorectal cancer(TSA-CRC).Immunophenotype:in 34 cases TSA,Ki67 showed diffuse positivity in basal cells and scattered positivity on the surface.In all 35 cases TSA,p53 showed weak positive nuclear positivity(1％to 60％),and PTEN and MLH1 were retained.In the 12 cases of TSA with HGIN and 3 cases of TSA-CRC,Ki67 showed diffusely positive,CK20 was strongly positive diffusely,and MLH1 was retained.In 9 cases of TSA with HGIN,p53 was diffusely strongly positive,and in 12 cases,PTEN was lost.All 3 cases of TSA-CRC showed dif-fuse strong nuclear p53 positivity.The molecular detection showed there were BRAF V600E gene mutation in 8 cases.There were 6 cases with KRAS G12V mutation as well as 1 case with KRAS G13D mutation among the 7 cases of KRAS mutation.The primary surgical approach(111 cases,53.6％)was endoscopic mucosal resection(EMR).Conclu-sion TSA exhibits characteristic histological and endoscopic features.Lesions with a maximum diameter＞10 mum are more likely to progress to HGIN or adenocarcinoma.It is crucial to enhance the awareness of pathologists and clini-cians,particularly regarding TSA with atypical hyperplasia or invasive carcinoma,to avoid misdiagnosis and missed di-agnoses.

Aim To explore the underlying molecular mechanism of Alisol A 24-acetate(24A)in improving oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation(OGD/R)injury in brain microvascular endothelial cells(BMECs)and its correlation with miR-98-5p/transi-ent receptor potential melastatin-2(TRPM2).Meth-ods The ischemia-reperfusion injury in brain micro-vascular endothelial cells(BMECs)was established u-sing bEnd.3 cells subjected to 8 h of oxygen-glucose deprivation followed by 16 h of re-oxygenation.The cells were intervened by miR-98-5p mimics and/or 18.77 μmol·L-1 24A for 24 h and divided into the control group,OGD/R group,OGD/R+24A group,OGD/R+24A+miR-98-5p mimics group and OGD/R+miR-98-5p mimics group.The mRNA levels of miR-98-5p and TRPM2 were detected by qPCR.IL-1 β and TNF-α levels were detected by ELISA.The expression levels of TRPM2,p-AKT,p-GSK3 β,AKT,GSK3 β,Bcl-2,Bax,ZO-1,Occludin,Claudin-5 were detected by Western blot.Apoptosis and reactive oxygen species(ROS)levels were detected by flow cytometry.The targeting relationship between miR-98-5p and TRPM2 was verified using dual luciferase assay.Results Compared with the control group,the apoptosis of OGD/R group was obvious,Bcl-2/Bax decreased,ZO-1,Occludin,Claudin-5 decreased,IL-1 β,TNF-α and ROS increased,miR-98-5p,p-AKT/AKT,p-GSK3β/GSK3β decreased but TRPM2 increased.But com-pared with the OGD/R group,except the control group,the other three groups showed the opposite trend in the above aspects;compared with the OGD/R+24A group,OGD/R+24A+miR-98-5p mimics group showed decreased apoptosis,decreased degradation of ZO-1,Occludin and Claudin-5,and decreased inflam-mation and ROS.miR-98-5p,p-AKT/AKT,p-GSK3β/GSK3β increased and TRPM2 decreased.However,compared with the OGD/R+24A+miR-98-5p mimics group,the OGD/R+miR-98-5p mimics group reversed this trend.Dual luciferase confirmed that miR-98-5p targeted regulation of TRPM2.Conclusion 24A in-hibits the expression of TRPM2 in BMECs through miR-98-5p,regulates AKT/GSK3β signal pathway,re-duces OGD/R inflammation and oxidative stress-medi-ated apoptosis,prevents the degradation of ZO-1,Oc-cludin and Claudin-5,and improves BBB permeability.

Neuroblastoma(NB),the most common type of extracranial solid tumor in children,is char-acterized by high malignancy and poor prognosis,warranting in-depth investigation.In recent years,mi-croRNAs(miRNAs)have emerged as crucial post-transcriptional regulators playing pivotal roles in tu-morigenesis and progression.Building upon this background,the present study specifically focuses on in-vestigating miR-3910's biological functions and underlying molecular regulatory mechanisms in the NB SH-SY5Y cell line.Through bioinformatics analysis and transcriptome sequencing,we identified potential key target molecules of miR-3910,thereby providing genetic targets for the precise diagnosis and effective treatment of NB.In this study,qRT-PCR was employed to measure miR-3910 expression levels in SH-SY5Y cells transfected with mimic negative control and miR-3910 mimic.Compared to the nc group,miR-3910 expression was significantly upregulated in the mimic group(P＜0.01).The CCK-8 assay and scratch wound healing assay were used to quantitatively assess the impact of miR-3910 on cell prolif-eration and migration.Results showed that cell proliferation significantly increased at 48 h(P＜0.05),and migration ability was markedly enhanced at 48 h(P＜0.01).Flow cytometry was applied to deter-mine the effect of miR-3910 on cell cycle progression,revealing accelerated cell cycle progression,a re-duced proportion of G0/G,phase cells(P＜0.01),and a significant increase in S-phase cells(P＜0.05).Integrated bioinformatics analysis and high-throughput transcriptome sequencing predicted key molecular changes in SH-SY5Y cells following miR-3910 overexpression.Transcriptome sequencing and bioinformatics analysis identified six NB-related genes:EIF3CL(EIF3C),RNF103-CHMP3(VPS24),SULT1A4(SULT1A4),CORO7-PAM16(CORO7),H4C12(Histone H4),and TBC1D3(TBC1D3A/B/C)(aliases sourced from the GeneCards database).qRT-PCR and Western blotting(WB)results are consistency with sequencing results(P＜0.01).In conclusion,miR-3910 overexpression significantly promotes SH-SY5Y cell proliferation,migration,and cell cycle progression,while uncovering a series of potential key target molecules.These findings provide new insights into the pathogenesis of NB and offer a theoretical foundation and potential intervention targets for molecular-targeted therapy in NB.

Objective:To summarize clinical characteristics and prognosis of immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) -related Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) /toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) .Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on patients diagnosed with ICI-related SJS/TEN in Zhongda Hospital, Southeast University from January 2018 to October 2023. Data on clinical manifestations, laboratory examinations, treatment and prognosis of the patients were analyzed.Results:A total of 9 patients were diagnosed with ICI-related SJS/TEN, including 8 males and 1 female, with the onset age ranging from 58 to 77 (67.56 ± 7.33) years. ICI were applied to all the 9 patients before onset of SJS/TEN. The latent period was 6 - 261 d, and the median duration was 76 d. All the patients presented with erythema as initial lesions, 3 cases with target lesions, 6 with blisters, and 5 cases with a positive Nikolsky's sign. Oral mucosal damage occurred in 7 cases, eye damage occurred in 6 cases, and urogenital damage occurred in 6 cases. All the 9 cases were treated with systematic glucocorticoids, 7 cases with intravenous immunoglobulin and 7 cases with antibiotics. Eight cases recovered and 1 case died. Among 6 patients followed for an average of 6.92 months, none achieved complete or partial remission, 3 died and 3 experienced disease progression.Conclusions:ICI-related SJS/TEN occurred with a relatively long latent period, and all the cases presented with erythema initially, with mucosal damage present in most of the cases. Management required discontinuation of ICI, and most patients recovered with corticosteroids and intravenous immunoglobulin, however, the prognosis for the primary malignancy remained poor.

This study investigated the disease characteristics and clinical traits of Nocardia infection,and analyzed the antibiotic resistance phenotypes,antibiotic resistance genes,and evolutionary characteristics of the strains,to provide a basis for Nocardia diag-nosis and treatment.A total of 31 Nocardia strains from a hospital in Hebei Province were collected from 2020 to 2023.The strains were identified through mass spectrometry and whole genome sequencing.Antibiotic susceptibility testing was conducted with the broth macrodilution method,and whole genome sequencing data were used to predict antibiotic resistance genes and comprehensively ana-lyze antibiotic resistance phenotypes.The 31 strains of Nocardia comprised 21 strains of Nocardia farcinica,3 strains of Nocardia ter-penica,three strains of Nocardia brasiliensis,two strains of Nocardia cyriacigeorgica,and two strains of Nocardia nova.The ceftriaxone susceptibility of 21 Nocardia farcinica strains was 85.7%,and all 31 strains were susceptible to imipenem,except for three strains of Nocardia brasiliensis.Rifampicin,aminoglycoside,and β-lactam resistance genes were found in Nocardia farcinica.Pathogenic tests should be carried out in a timely manner for suspected Nocardia infections.In clinical treatment of Nocardia infection,infected strains should be confirmed,and antibiotics should be used rationally according to the antibiotic susceptibility test results.

OBJECTIVE: To explore and evaluate the efficacy and safety of a modified thiotepa-based conditioning regimen combined with autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (ASCT) for the treatment of primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL). METHODS: In a retrospective, single center, single arm study, we collected data of 28 patients with PCNSL who underwent high-dose chemotherapy followed by autologous stem cell transplantation (HDC-ASCT) at our center from March 2021 to December 2024. The clinical characteristics of the patients, the conditioning regimen details, treatment-related toxicities and adverse reactions, post-transplant disease remission status, and survival outcomes were analyzed. RESULTS: A total of 28 patients were included. Among them, 19 patients received ASCT as first-line consolidation therapy in complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) status, and 9 patients with relapsed/refractory disease underwent salvage ASCT. The median time to neutrophil engraftment was 9 days (range: 5-11 days), and the median time to platelet engraftment was 10 days (range: 6-13 days). All patients achieved CR at the initial efficacy evaluation post-ASCT. The main complications during the transplantation period were febrile neutropenia (26 cases) and grade 3 diarrhea (9 cases). No transplantation-related mortality occurred. Post-ASCT, 19 patients received maintenance therapy, which was demonstrated to be safe and effective. Three patients relapse, and one patient died. The median progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) of patients were not reached. The estimated 1-year and 2-year cumulative PFS rates were 88.4% and 66.3%, respectively, while the 1-year and 2-year OS rates were both 94.1%. CONCLUSION The modified thiotepa-based conditioning regimen combined with ASCT is safe and effective for the treatment of PCNSL.
