Neuraminidase(NA),a glycoprotein on the surface of the influenza virus,plays a crucial role in viral escape and serves as a stable target for drug candidates.Monoclonal antibodies targeting the NA active site can bind to multiple influenza virus subtypes and inhibit the spread of influenza virus through various mechanisms,such as neutralizing,mediating antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity and complement-dependent cytotox-icity.In vivo experiments have shown that human monoclonal antibodies targeting the influenza virus NA can ef-fectively exert preventive and therapeutic effects,rescuing mice infected with lethal doses and reducing viral ti-ters in lungs of mice.This article provides a review of the currently reported human monoclonal antibodies targe-ting NA of Influenza A and Influenza B viruses,providing new ideas and prospects for the subsequent development of anti-influenza drugs.

Objective:To investigate the current status of intellectual property (IP) knowledge, awareness, and perceived barriers among healthcare workers in community health centers.Methods:This cross-sectional study was conducted from October to November 2022. A self-designed questionnaire assessing IP knowledge, awareness, difficulties in patent applications, and willingness to participate in IP-related activities was administered to 366 healthcare workers across all 13 community health centers in Shanghai Minhang District.Results:Among the 366 respondents, 42.6% (156/366) self-reported awareness of basic IP concepts, while 23.8% (87/366) self-reported awareness of the patent application process. Only 4.1% (15/366) had patent application experience. Significant differences in self-reported awareness of basic IP concepts were found across educational levels and years of work experience ( P<0.05). Similarly, significant differences in awareness of the patent application process were observed across educational levels, years of work experience, age groups, and patent application experience ( P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis revealed that higher educational attainment was positively associated with awareness of both basic IP concepts and the patent application process. Longer work experience was negatively associated with awareness of basic IP concepts. Having patent application experience was positively associated with awareness of the patent application process. A majority (86.6%, 317/366) expressed strong willingness to engage in IP-related activities. However, 82.8% (303/366) perceived patent applications as challenging, with the primary reported obstacle being unfamiliarity with the application procedures (85.8%, 314/366). Conclusion:A gap exists between self-evaluation and actual knowledge of IP among community health workers in Shanghai Minhang District. Nonetheless, their willingness to participate in IP activities is high, with the primary obstacle identified as a lack of understanding of the patent application process.

Objective:To analyze the short-term efficacy and safety of robot-assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomy(RAPN)for non-metastatic pathological stage T 3a renal cell carcinoma. Methods:The clinical and pathological data of 45 patients with pathologically confirmed non-metastatic T 3a renal cell carcinoma who underwent RAPN at Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center between January 2016 and December 2023 were retrospectively reviewed. There were 30 males and 15 females. The average age of the cohort was(54.3±10.7)years,and the average clinical tumor diameter was(4.9±1.8)cm. Of all the patients,35(77.8%)were asymptomatic,7(15.6%)presented with hematuria,and 3(6.7%)presented with lumbar pain. Preoperative imaging assessed 34 patients(75.6%)as having clinical stage T 3a,all suspected of involving the collecting system or perirenal fat invasion;the remaining 11 patients(24.4%)were assessed as having stage T 1-2 disease. The median R.E.N.A.L. nephrectomy score was 8.0(7.0,10.0). A history of hypertension,diabetes,or chronic kidney disease was present in 18 patients(40.0%). The primary endpoint was progression-free survival,and the secondary endpoints included postoperative complications and short-term renal function outcomes. Survival curve was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method,and renal function comparisons were made using the paired t-test. Results:The RAPN was performed through a transabdominal approach in 32 patients(71.1%),with a median estimated blood loss of 150.0(50.0,300.0)ml. Seven(15.6%)patients required intraoperative blood transfusion. The median length of postoperative hospital stay was 4.0(4.0,6.0)days. Postoperative complications occurred in 6 patients(13.3%),including 5(11.1%)with mild complications and 1(2.2%)with a severe complication. Renal function returned to baseline in 24 of 39 evaluable patients(61.5%),while 3 patients(7.7%)developed surgery-related chronic kidney disease 3 to 12 months postoperatively,but none required dialysis. The median follow-up time was 31.8(22.7,50.9)months,12(26.7%)patients received programmed cell death protein 1 inhibitor adjuvant therapy postoperatively. During follow-up,3 patients experienced tumor recurrence,the 3-year progression-free survival rate of the entire cohort was 95.4%.Conclusions:For some carefully selected patients with T 3a renal cell carcinoma,RAPN performed by experienced surgeons is a feasible and safe option,providing excellent short-term oncological outcomes,complication control,and renal function recovery. The long-term efficacy remains to be seen.

Metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) is a common chronic liver disease in clinical practice, and macrophages are directly involved in the development, progression, and prognosis of MAFLD. Studies have confirmed that glucose metabolic reprogramming in macrophages directly affects immune function, which in turn affects the local inflammatory environment of liver and hepatocyte metabolism. This article reviews the changes in glucose metabolism of macrophages and the corresponding key molecules in the pathogenesis of MAFLD, in order to provide new targets and strategies for the prevention and treatment of MAFLD in the future.

Objective To investigate the changes in the tumor microenvironment of pancreatic cancer(PDAC)complicated with diabetes mellitus(DM)in a mouse model of hyperglycemia and orthotopic pancreatic cancer by analyzing transcriptome and single-cell transcriptome data in order to identify potential therapeutic targets.Method By integrating single-cell transcriptome and bulk transcriptome data,bioinformatics analysis was conducted to compare the characteristics of tumor cells and tumor immune microenvironment between PDAC patients with DM(DM group)and those without DM(non-DM group).Twenty male C57BL/6 mice(6 weeks old,weighing 18~20 g)were randomly divided into a hyperglycemic group[STZ group,continuous intraperitoneal injection of 50 mg/kg streptozocin(STZ)(final concentration of 1%)dissolved in citrate buffer],and a control group(Control group,an equivalent volume of citrate buffer without STZ at the same time points),with 10 mice in each group.Tail-tip blood glucose level was measured to monitor glycemic status.After orthotopic inoculation of pancreatic cancer cells in both Control and STZ groups,tumor-infiltrating immune cells were harvested.Flow cytometry was employed to determine the effects of hyperglycemia on:total CD8+T cell and Treg cell populations;CD8+T cell subsets expressing Ki67,TNF-α,granzyme B(GZMB)and IFN-γ;surface expression of PD-1,lymphocyte activation gene-3(LAG-3)and T cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain-3(Tim-3)on CD8+T cells;programmed death-ligand 1(PD-L1)expression on tumor cells;and tumor-associated macrophage surface expression of major histocompatibility complex classⅠ(MHC-Ⅰ)and cluster of differentiation 206(CD206).Results Bioinformatics analysis revealed that,compared to the non-DM group,the genes significantly up-regulated in the DM group were associated with poor prognosis(P<0.001).The proportion of type 2 ductal cells was increased in the DM group,exhibiting higher levels of copy number variation(P<0.001).In the tumor immune microenvironment of the DM group,there was an increase in the proportion of Treg cells(P<0.05)and an elevated exhaustion score for CD8+T cells(P<0.001),accompanied by down-regulated expression of effector molecules,up-regulated expression of inhibitory checkpoints,and a significant increase in the M2 score of M2-like macrophages(P<0.001).Animal experiments and flow cytometry found that,compared to the Control group,the STZ group had a shorter survival time(P<0.001),with decreased proportions of total CD8+T cells(P<0.01)and CD8+T cells expressing Ki67,TNF-α,GZMB and IFN-γ(P<0.01),increased proportion of Treg cells(P<0.001),up-regulated expression of PD-1,LAG-3 and Tim-3 on the surface of CD8+T cells(P<0.001),and up-regulation of PD-L1 on tumor cell surface(P<0.001)and enhanced expression of CD206 on the surface of tumor-associated macrophages,while down-regulated expression of MHC-Ⅰ(P<0.001).Conclusion High glucose promotes the formation of an immunosuppressive microenvironment in PDAC,and targeting type 2 ductal cells and immunosuppressive cells in the tumor microenvironment,combined with dual immune checkpoint antibody therapy,may improve patient prognosis.

With the advancement of economic development and clear aligner technology,invisible orthodontics has become an important treatment approach for malocclusion.However,in extraction cases involving anterior tooth retraction,the limited three-dimensional force control of aligners often leads to lingual tipping of incisors,deepened overbite,and anchorage loss of posterior teeth,thereby increasing the complexity and uncertainty of orthodontic treatment.As an effective tool for simulating complex biomechanical behaviors,finite element analysis(FEA)enables quantitative assessment of tooth movement and stress distribution in the periodontium,providing theoretical support for optimizing aligner design.This review focuses on FEA studies of anterior tooth retraction using clear aligners in extraction cases,summarizes tooth movement characteristics,and discusses key influencing factors including aligner parameters,movement patterns,attachment design,and auxiliary appliances.Finally,the future directions of FEA in dynamic simulation and personalized modeling are explored to support more predictable and effective clinical outcomes.
