Background Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are widely known atmospheric pollutants, which can cause serious harm to human body and ecological environment. Objective To analyze the concentrations and sources of PAHs in atmospheric PM2.5 in Zhifu District and Longkou City during the heating period in Yantai. Methods Two monitoring sites in Zhifu District and Longkou City of Yantai were selected, and PM2.5 sample collection was carried out from April 2023 to March 2024. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry was applied to analyze the concentrations of PAHs in atmospheric PM2.5 during the heating period (from November 2023 to March 2024) and the non-heating period (from April to October 2023). The concentrations of PAHs in the two periods were compared and the sources of PAHs during the heating period were analyzed by characteristic ratio method. Results During the heating period, the total concentration ranges of PAHs in atmospheric PM2.5 at the monitoring sites in Zhifu District and Longkou City of Yantai were (1.59-23.70) ng·m−3 and (2.08-149.72) ng·m−3 respectively, and the medians (M) and the 25th and 75th percentiles (P25, P75) were 4.99 (2.61, 8.09) ng·m−3 and 15.46 (8.15, 29.05) ng·m−3 respectively. The PAHs concentrations in Longkou City were significantly higher than those in Zhifu District in all months (P<0.05). The highest median total concentrations of PAHs in both sites were reported in January (8.14 ng·m−3 and 81.56 ng·m−3 respectively). In the non-heating period, the M (P25, P75) of the total PAHs concentrations at the two sites were 1.59 (1.59, 2.78) ng·m−3 and 4.11 (2.94, 7.97) ng·m−3 respectively, much lower than those in the heating period (P<0.01). The order of composition of PAHs by ring number in PM2.5 at both sites was 4-ring> 5-ring> 6-ring, with the 4-ring contributing the largest proportion (65.33% and 46.39% respectively). Fluoranthene had the highest concentration among PAHs at both sites, with concentrations M (P25, P75) of 1.29 (0.51, 1.78) ng·m−3 and 2.32 (1.30, 3.82) ng·m−3 respectively. The characteristic ratios of fluoranthene/(fluoranthene + pyrene), fluoranthene/pyrene, benzo[a]anthracene/(benzo[a]anthracene + chrysene), pyrene/benzo[a]pyrene, benzo[a]pyrene/(benzo[a]pyrene + chrysene), benzo[a]pyrene/benzo[g,h,i]pyrene, and indeno[1,2,3-c,d]pyrene/(indeno[1,2,3-c,d]pyrene + benzo[g,h,i]pyrene) in Zhifu District were 0.62, 1.65, 0.41, 4.48, 0.50, 0.93 and 0.47 respectively, and those in Longkou were 0.57, 1.35, 0.40, 2.89, 0.29, 0.79 and 0.47 respectively. The results showed that PAHs pollutants were generated by combination of coal combustion, vehicle exhaust emissions and gasoline combustion. Conclusion During the heating period in Yantai area, the total concentration of PAHs in atmospheric PM2.5 is significantly higher than that in the non-heating period. Among them, during the heating period, the pollution level in Longkou City is significantly higher than that in Zhifu District. The local PAHs may be sourced from mixed pollution, and the main sources include gasoline, and coal combustion and vehicle exhaust emissions.

Antibody-drug conjugates(ADCs)represent a breakthrough in precision therapy for breast cancer,offering a unique targeted drug delivery mechanism that enhances tumor selectivity while reducing the nonspecific toxicity associated with conventional chemotherapy.In recent years,the clinical applications of ADCs in breast cancer have expanded significantly,particularly in human epidermal growth factor receptor 2(HER2)-positive and HER2-low breast cancer,reshaping the therapeutic landscape.Trastuzumab emtanserin(T-DM1)was the first ADC drug to replace lapatinib plus capecitabine as a second-line treatment for HER2-positive breast cancer,while trastuzumab deruxtecan(T-DXd)demonstrated remarkable efficacy in HER2-low breast cancer in the DESTINY-Breast04 trial,becoming the first approved ADC for this patient subgroup.Furthermore,trophoblast cell surface antigen 2(Trop-2)-targeting ADCs,such as sacituzumab govitecan(SG),have shown promising clinical benefits in patients with triple-negative breast cancer(TNBC)and hormone receptor-positive/HER2-negative breast cancer.Advances in next-generation ADC technologies,including improvements in linker stability,drug-to-antibody ratio(DAR)optimization,and enhanced bystander effects,have further improved the therapeutic efficacy and safety profile of these agents,reinforcing their role in the precision treatment of breast cancer.Although ADCs have demonstrated substantial clinical benefits,they are associated with target-and payload-related toxicities.However,with ongoing advancements in management strategies,their safety profile has been significantly improved.HER2-targeting ADCs present specific adverse events,including interstitial lung disease(ILD)associated with T-DXd,thrombocytopenia,and liver function abnormalities observed with T-DM1,while Trop-2-targeting ADCs such as SG are linked to hematologic toxicity and gastrointestinal side effects.Notably,structural optimizations in next-generation ADCs have led to significant improvements in their safety profile.Early monitoring,individualized dose modifications,and supportive care measures have been shown to effectively reduce the incidence of severe adverse events.Clinical studies indicate that toxicity management strategies for ADCs have matured,with most adverse effects being effectively controlled through optimized treatment regimens and adjunctive supportive care.Thus,in clinical practice,it is essential to consider patient-specific factors,prior treatment history,and comorbidities to devise an optimal ADC treatment strategy that maximizes both efficacy and safety.As ADC technology continues to evolve,breast cancer treatment is expected to become increasingly precise.The development of novel HER2-Trop-2 bispecific ADCs offers new therapeutic options for patients with HER2-low and HER2-negative breast cancer.Additionally,studies investigating the combination of T-DXd with immune checkpoint inhibitors(ICIs),CDK4/6 inhibitors,and poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase(PARP)inhibitors have demonstrated synergistic antitumor effects,further expanding the prospects for precision medicine in breast cancer.This review systematically summarized the latest advancements in ADCs for breast cancer,with a focus on the clinical applications,safety management strategies,and future development of HER2-and Trop-2-targeting ADCs,aiming to provide valuable insights for the future of precision breast cancer treatment.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of Dihuang Yinzi on the cognitive function in the mouse model of learning and memory impairments induced by scopolamine (SCOP) and explore the treatment mechanism. MethodsA mouse model of learning and memory impairment was induced by intraperitoneal injection of SCOP. Sixty male C57BL/6J mice were randomized into six groups: control (0.9% NaCl, n=10), model (SCOP 1 mg·kg-1·d-1, n=10), low-, medium-, and high-dose Dihuang Yinzi (SCOP 1 mg·kg-1·d-1 + Dihuang Yinzi 5.5, 11.0, and 22.0 g·kg-1·d-1, n=10), and donepezil (SCOP 1 mg·kg-1·d-1 + donepezil 0.84 mg·kg-1·d-1, n=10). Mice were administrated with corresponding drugs for 6 weeks. Modeling started in the 4th week, and mice in other groups except the control group were injected with SCOP intraperitoneally 40 min after daily gavage. Behavioral testing began in the 5th week, 30 min after modeling each day. The Morris water maze and novel object recognition tests were carried out to evaluate the spatial learning and memory function of mice. Nissl staining was employed to observe the survival of neurons and Nissl bodies in the hippocampal CA1 region. Western blot was employed to determine the protein levels of silent information regulator 2 (SIRT2), α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole propionic acid (AMPA) receptor 1 (GluA1), protein kinase A (PKA), cAMP response element-binding protein (CREB), phosphorylated-CREB (p-CREB), postsynaptic density protein 95 (PSD95), growth-associated protein-43 (GAP-43), and synaptophysin (SYN) in the hippocampus. Immunofluorescence was used to detect the expression of doublecortin (DCX) in the hippocampal dentate gyrus (DG) region. ResultsCompared with the control group, the model group showed impaired learning and memory (P<0.01), obvious neuronal damage in the hippocampal CA1 region, a reduction in neuron survival (P<0.01), a decrease in DCX expression in the hippocampal DG region (P<0.01), down-regulated proteins levels of GluA1, PKA, p-CREB/CREB, PSD95, SYN, and GAP-43 in the hippocampal tissue (P<0.05, P<0.01), and an up-regulated protein level of SIRT2 (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the medium- and high-dose Dihuang Yinzi groups and the donepezil group showed improvements in learning and memory (P<0.05, P<0.01), while the low-, medium-, and high-dose Dihuang Yinzi groups and the donepezil group had increased neuron survival (P<0.05, P<0.01). The medium-dose Dihuang Yinzi group and the donepezil group showed increased DCX expression (P<0.05, P<0.01). The medium- and high-dose Dihuang Yinzi groups and the donepezil group showed up-regulation in the protein levels of GluA1, PKA, p-CREB/CREB, PSD95, SYN, and GAP-43 (P<0.05, P<0.01) and down-regulation in the protein level of SIRT2 (P<0.01). ConclusionDihuang Yinzi can improve the cognitive function in the mouse model of learning and memory impairments induced by SCOP by inhibiting the upregulation of SIRT2, activating the PKA/CREB signaling pathway, improving synaptic plasticity, and reducing hippocampal neuronal damage.
