Cold tumors have a poor response to tumor immunotherapy due to low immune cell infiltration and the ability to evade immune attacks. Converting cold tumors into hot tumors can enhance the clinical effectiveness of anti-tumor immunotherapy. High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) as a non-invasive treatment can damage tumors through mechanical effects, but there is a lack of research on its cytotoxic mechanisms at the cellular level and its role in inducing anti-immune responses. In this study, the role of HIFU in triggering tumor ferroptosis by disrupting the GSH/GSSG balance through mechanochemical action and the associated anti-tumor immune priming effect were investigated. The use of a nano-enhancer loaded with PFOB combined with HIFU could enhance ferroptosis in triple-negative breast cancer at a specific stage of tumor growth (UTGR = 0) while promoting the conversion of a cold tumor into a hot tumor, thereby improving the immune response. Overall, this provides valuable guidance for the clinical application of HIFU in tumor immunotherapy.

Objective To explore the relationship between the duration of breastfeeding and re-fractive error in preschool children.Methods A cross-sectional survey was conducted to investigate the visual acuity of 2,915 preschool children aged 3 to 6 years using a questionnaire.Results After adjusting for potential confounding factors such as parental education level,premature birth,birth weight,family structure,only-child status,screen-watching,outdoor activity time,and sleep time u-sing a Logistic regression equation,compared with a breastfeeding duration of less than 6 months,a breastfeeding duration of 6 to 12 months(OR=0.683,95％CI:0.516 to 0.903)and＞12 months(OR=0.628,95％CI:0.451 to 0.874)were found to be protective factors against refractive error.Further stratified analysis revealed that a breastfeeding duration of 6 to 12 months(OR=0.640,95％CI:0.459 to 0.892)and＞12 months(OR=0.519,95％CI:0.347 to 0.777)had a protective effect on the visual acuity of preschool children aged 3 to 4 years.Conclusion The duration of breastfeed-ing is a protective factor against refractive error in preschool children aged 3 to 4 years,and prolonging the duration of breastfeeding is beneficial for reducing the occurrence of refractive error.

Objective:To investigate the risk factors for aneurysm rupture and post-intervention complications in intracranial arterial stenosis patients with intracranial aneurysms.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed; 238 intracranial arterial stenosis patients with intracranial aneurysms (306 intracranial aneurysms) admitted to Cerebrovascular Disease Department, Neurosurgery Center, Zhujiang Hospital, Southern Medical University from January 2018 to August 2022 were chosen. Ruptured group and unruptured group were divided according to the rupture of intracranial aneurysms. Additionally, 139 patients who underwent interventional therapy and had complete follow-up data were divided into 2 groups according to occurrence of post-intervention complications. Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analyses were used to identify the risk factors for aneurysm rupture and post-intervention complications.Results:(1) Of 238 patients, 269 unruptured aneurysms and 37 ruptured aneurysms were noted. Univariate regression analysis showed that significant difference was noted between the ruptured group and unruptured group in female ratio, aneurysm distribution, proportion of irregular shaped aneurysms, percentages of patients with increased white blood cell count, neutrophil count, total cholesterol and D-2 polymer, and percentage of patients with decreased blood lymphocyte count ( P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that irregular shaped aneurysms ( OR=12.393, 95% CI: 4.114-37.332, P<0.001), elevated neutrophil count ( OR=18.753, 95% CI: 6.555-53.648, P<0.001), and increased D-2 polymer ( OR=4.410, 95% CI: 1.758-11.065, P=0.002) were independent risk factors for aneurysm rupture in intracranial arterial stenosis patients with intracranial aneurysms. (2) Of the 139 patients, 57 had complications and 82 had no complications. Univariate regression analysis showed that the proportion of patients with hypertension history, distribution of arterial stenosis, and proportion of patients with elevated blood D-2 polymer were significantly different between patients with and without complications ( P<0.05); while multivariate Logistic regression analysis did not identify these 3 indexes as independent risk factors for post-intervention complications ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Patients with irregular shaped aneurysms, elevated blood neutrophil count and D-2 polymer trend to have aneurysm rupture; hypertension history, arterial stenosis, and elevated D-2 polymer have impact on postoperative complications in intracranial arterial stenosis patients with intracranial aneurysms.

Objective:To analyze the correlation between serum leptin (LEP), adiponectin (ADP) levels and bone metabolism indexes in pregnant GDM women complicated with osteoporosis.Methods:A total of 120 GDM patients admitted to our hospital from Dec. 2020 to Dec. 2023 were included as the observation group, and 30 healthy pregnant women were chosen as the control group. The levels of serum LEP, ADP, bone metabolism indexes [parathyroid hormone (PTH), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), 25-hydroxyvitamin D, amino terminal and middle osteocalcin (N-MID) ] were compared. The relationship between serum LEP, ADP and PTH, ALP, 25-hydroxyvitamin D and N-MID was analyzed by Pearson correlation, and receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was drawn to evaluate the diagnostic value of serum LEP and ADP levels in gestational diabetes mellitus complicated with osteoporosis.Results:The observation group had higher LEP level, but lower ADP, PTH, 25-hydroxyvitamin D and N-MID level ( t=10.08, 7.19, 12.70, 15.05, 20.54, P<0.05), and there was no significant difference in ALP between the two groups ( t=0.78, P>0.05) ; 25 had osteoporosis and 95 did not. LEP levels in the osteoporosis subgroup were significantly higher than those in the non-osteoporosis subgroup, and ADP, PTH, 25-hydroxyvitamin D and N-MID levels were significantly lower ( t=4.44, 3.06, 3.51, 3.18, 3.00, P<0.05). There was no significant difference in ALP level between the two groups ( t=0.38, P>0.05). Pearson correlation analysis showed that serum LEP and ADP were significantly correlated with PTH, 25-hydroxyvitamin D and N-MID in pregnant GDM women ( P<0.05). The area under the curve (AUC) of serum LEP, ADP and combined test in pregnant GDM women complicated with osteoporosis were 0.723, 0.650 and 0.755, respectively. Conclusion:Serum LEP level increases and ADP level decreases significantly in pregnant GDM women complicated with osteoporosis, which is closely related to bone metabolism indexes, and can assist in early diagnosis of gestational diabetes mellitus complicated with osteoporosis.

Objective:This study aimed at investigating the efficacy and safety of eltrombopag in the treatment of adult primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) and evaluated the factors influencing its efficacy and side effects.Methods:A total of 198 patients with adult ITP who were admitted to Tianjin Medical University General Hospital between January 2018 and March 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. The efficacy of each starting dose of eltrombopag was evaluated, and adverse events were analyzed. The factors influencing efficacy were investigated, including sex, age, adult ITP type, platelet antibodies, and combined drug treatments.Results:Of the 198 patients, 70 males and 128 females with a median age of 45 years (18-88 years) were included; 130 (65.7%) had newly diagnosed adult ITP, 25 (12.6%) had persistent adult ITP, and 43 (21.7%) had chronic adult ITP. The bleeding event scores at baseline were assessed; 84.3% had scores of<4 and 15.7% had scores of ≥4. The eltrombopag response rate (initial response) at 6 weeks was 78.8% (complete response [CR]: 49.0%; CR1: 14.6%; CR2: 15.2%). The median response time to eltrombopag was 7 (7, 14) days. The initial response rates to 25, 50, and 75 mg eltrombopag were 74.1%, 85.9%, and 60.0%, respectively ( P=0.031). The initial response rate to the 50 mg dose was significantly higher than that of the 25-mg and 75-mg doses. Two patients received 100 mg as the starting dose, and their initial response was 0. Regarding dose adjustment, 70.7% of the patients remained on the starting dose, 8.6% underwent dose adjustment to 50 mg, and 6.1% underwent dose adjustment to 75 mg. Another two patients underwent dose adjustment to 100 mg. After dose adjustment, the persistent response rates were 83.6%, 85.3%, and 85.7% for the 25-, 50-, and 75-mg doses, respectively, with no significant difference. After dose adjustment, the sustained efficacy rate for the 100-mg dose (4 patients) was 100.0%. After 6 weeks of treatment with eltrombopag, the overall bleeding score of patients with ITP decreased. The number of patients with a score of ≥4 decreased to 0, the number of patients with a score of<4 decreased, and there was no significant change in the number of patients with a score of 1-2. The most common adverse event associated with eltrombopag was impaired liver function (7.7%). No thrombosis events or other adverse events were observed. ITP type and number of megakaryocytes significantly affected the initial response to eltrombopag. The initial response rates to eltrombopag for newly diagnosed adult ITP, persistent adult ITP, and chronic adult ITP were 85.3%, 56.0%, and 76.2%, respectively ( P=0.003). For megakaryocytes, the initial response rates were 61.8%, 87.1%, and 84.3% ( P=0.009) for the decreased, normal, and increased megakaryocyte groups, respectively. Conclusion:Eltrombopag, as a second-line or higher treatment for adult ITP, has a rapid onset of action and good safety. The initial response rate is significantly higher with a dose of 50 mg than with a dose of 25 mg. Patients with newly diagnosed ITP and those with normal or increased megakaryocyte numbers have a higher initial response rate to eltrombopag.
