[摘 要] 树突状细胞（DC）是连接固有免疫与适应性免疫的核心枢纽，其功能稳态是介导肿瘤免疫监视的关键。然而，肿瘤微环境（TME）通过营养竞争及免疫抑制代谢产物的累积，驱动DC发生代谢重编程，进而诱导免疫应答功能缺陷。本文系统综述了TME中DC各亚型在三大代谢层面的重塑机制：糖代谢层面，高乳酸微环境通过GPR81信号抑制MHC-Ⅱ类分子表达，削弱传统树突状细胞（cDC）的抗原提呈能力；脂代谢层面，Wnt5a-β-catenin-PPARγ-CPT1A轴介导的脂肪酸氧化促进cDC向免疫抑制表型极化；氨基酸代谢层面，Arg1-IDO1通路的级联激活诱导DC获得耐受表型。针对上述代谢异常，当前干预策略已由单一靶点调控拓展至多模式联合，包括基于脂质纳米颗粒的原位疫苗与mRNA递送系统、代谢-免疫协同阻断，以及代谢状态优化的DC疫苗等。因此，深化对DC代谢检查点的认知，并靶向干预关键代谢检查点，不仅有望逆转免疫抑制微环境、克服治疗耐药，更为开发新一代代谢-免疫联合疗法提供了重要的科学依据与转化策略。

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy and prognostic factors of neoadju-vant chemotherapy (NACT) and radical resection on adenocarcinoma of esophagogastric junction (AEG) and gastric adenocarcinoma (GC).Methods:The propensity score matching and retrospec-tive cohort study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of 263 patients with AEG and GC who were admitted to Peking University Cancer Hospital from March 2017 to March 2022 were collected. There were 204 males and 59 females, aged (60±10)years. Of the 263 patients, 81 cases with AEG were set as the AEG group, and 182 cases with GC were set as the GC group. Observation indicators: (1) propensity score matching and comparison of clinicopathological characteristics of patients between the two groups after matching; (2) evaluation of the efficacy of NACT and pathological conditions; (3) intraoperative and postoperative conditions; (4) follow-up; (5) analysis of factors affecting prognosis of patients. Comparison of measurement data with normal distribution between groups was conducted using the independent sample t test. Comparison of measurement data with skewed distribution between groups was conducted using the Mann-Whitney rank sum test. Comparison of count data between groups was conducted using the chi-square test. Comparison of ordinal data between groups was conducted using the nonparametric rank sum test. The Cox proportional hazard model was used for univariate and multivariate analyses. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate survival rate and draw survival curve. The Log-rank test was used for survival analysis. Propensity score matching was done by the 1:1 nearest neighbor matching method with a caliper value of 0.02. Results:(1) Propensity score matching and comparison of clinicopathological charac-teristics of patients between the two groups after matching. Of 263 patients, 156 cases were succe-ssfully matched, including 78 cases in the AEG group and 78 cases in the GC group. After propensity score matching, the elimination of age and degree of tumor differentiation confounding bias ensured comparability between the two groups. (2) Evaluation of the efficacy of NACT and pathological condi-tions. After propensity score matching, cases with pathological complete response were 2 in the AEG group, versus 9 in the GC group, showing a significant difference between the two groups ( χ2=4.793, P<0.05). (3) Intraoperative and postoperative conditions. After propensity score matching, the operation time of AEG group was 225(200,283)minutes. The resection range (whole stomach, distal stomach, proximal stomach) were 68, 0, 10, respectively. The digestive tract reconstruction methods (Roux-en-Y, Billroth Ⅰ/Ⅱ/Uncut Roux-en-Y, esophageal residual gastric, double channel) were 68, 0, 5, 5, respectively. Duration of postoperative hospital stay was 12(10,16)days. Total hospi-talization expense was (114 400±4 828)yuan. The above indicators of the GC group were 200(174,234)minutes, 22, 55, 1, 21, 56, 0, 1, 10(9,11)days, (98 790±2 549)yuan, respectively. There were significant differences in the above indicators between the two groups ( Z=-3.813, χ2=85.875, 88.487, Z=-4.060, t=2.524, P<0.05). Cases of complication and cases of serious complication were 32 and 9 in the AEG group, versus 22 and 5 in the GC group, showing no significant difference between the two groups ( χ2=2.832, 1.256, P>0.05). (4) Follow-up. All 156 patients after propensity score matching were followed up after surgery, with a follow-up time of 51(range, 3-84)months. Number of death in the AEG group and GC group were 26 and 25 during the follow-up. The postoperative 3-, 5-year overall survival rate were 70.4%, 58.3% in patients of the AEG group, versus 75.7%, 62.6% in patients of the GC group, showing no significant difference in overall survival between the two groups ( χ2=0.141, P>0.05). (5) Analysis of factors affecting prognosis of patients. Results of multivariate analysis showed that NACT, average tumor diameter after NACT, vascular tumor emboli were independent factors affecting prognosis of patients with AEG and GC after NACT and radical resection before propensity score matching ( hazard ratio=1.864, 1.807, 4.551, 95% confidence interval as 1.137-3.056, 1.124-2.903, 2.709-7.645, P<0.05). Conclusions:Compared with patients of GC, patients of AEG have a lower proportion of pathological complete response after NACT, but there is no signifi-cant difference in the incidence of complication and survival of patients with AEG and GC after NACT and radical resection. NACT, average tumor diameter after NACT, vascular tumor emboli are indepen-dent factors affecting prognosis of patients with AEG and GC after NACT and radical resection.

Objective To investigate the differences of brain imaging changes in patients with mesial temporal lobe epilepsy(mTLE)based on individual structural covariance networks of gray matter volume.Methods A total of 74 mTLE patients,including 39 patients in the left mTLE group and 35 patients in the right mTLE group,along with 46 healthy controls(control group),had completed 3D T1WI structural imaging scans.The network template perturbation approach was used to analyze the individualized structural covariance networks in patients with mTLE.Results Compared with the control group,the left and right mTLE groups showed decreased structural covariance connections for the ipsilateral hippocampus to the contralateral hippocampus and parahippocampal gyrus,orbitofrontal gyrus,middle frontal gyrus,superior parietal gyrus,amygdala and fusiform gyrus.In addition,increased structural covariation connections was mainly distributed in the bilateral frontal lobe,parietal lobe,temporal lobe,occipital lobe and paralimbic system in the right mTLE group,whereas increased structural covariation connections was mainly located within the left frontal lobe,parietal lobe and occipital lobe in the left mTLE group(P＜0.05).Compared with the left mTLE group,the right mTLE group showed decreased structural covariance connections with the ipsilateral hippocampus as a core node(P＜0.05).Conclusion Compared with the left mTLE group,the right mTLE group showed more pronounced decreased structural covariance connections centered around the ipsilateral hippocampus,as well as a more intricate compensatory mechanism.The pattern of the individual structural covariance networks in mTLE patients not only contribute to understanding of its pathogenesis but also served as a potential biomarker for clinical diagnosis.

Objective:This study aims to analyze the economic impact of postoperative complications after colorectal cancer surgery.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted. Patients with a preoperative pathological diagnosis of colorectal cancer who met surgical indications and underwent surgical treatment were included, while those with incomplete hospitalization cost data were excluded. From March 2017 to March 2022, three hundred and ninety-two colorectal cancer patients treated at Peking University Cancer Hospital and Institute Gastrointestinal Cancer Center I, were enrolled. Descriptive statistics were performed on the incidence of complications, hospitalization costs, and postoperative length of stay. A cohort was established based on the presence of postoperative complications (POC) and absence of postoperative complications (non-POC) to study economic differences. Propensity score matching analysis was employed to reduce potential confounding factors.Results:Among 392 colorectal cancer patients, 90 (23.0%) developed POC (POC group), while 302 were in the non-POC group. Significant statistical differences were found between the two groups in terms of operation duration, extent of resection, and stoma creation (all P < 0.05); other baseline indicators showed no significant differences (all P>0.05). The median hospitalization cost for patients with postoperative anastomotic leakage was 115 973 yuan, an increase of 38 941 yuan (50.5%) over the non-POC group's 77 059 yuan; the median hospitalization cost for patients with mechanical obstruction was 111 477 yuan, an increase of 34 418 yuan (44.7%) over the non-POC group; and the median hospitalization cost for patients with wound infection was 95 860 yuan, an increase of 18 801 yuan (24.4%) over the non-POC group. The median postoperative length of stay for patients with anastomotic leakage, mechanical obstruction, and wound infection was 22.0 days, 22.0 days, and 18.5 days, respectively, compared to 9.0 days in the non-POC group, extending by 13.0 days, 13.0 days, and 9.5 days. After propensity score matching, each group had 68 patients, and there were no statistically significant differences in preoperative and intraoperative observations between the two groups (all P>0.05); compared to the non-POC group, the hospitali- zation costs in the POC group significantly increased (89 165 yuan vs. 75 437 yuan, P<0.001), and the postoperative length of stay also significantly extended (14.0 days vs. 8.0 days, P<0.001). Conclusions:The occurrence of POC after colorectal cancer surgery significantly increases hospitalization costs and length of stay. This study provides specific and accurate reference data for subsequent health economic decision-making. This is the first detailed economic impact analysis of postoperative complications of colorectal cancer with a large sample size, which includes an economic impact analysis for each POC and subgroup.

Objective The aim of this study was to clarify the role and mechanism of Pseudomonas aeruginosa vaccine subunit OprI in the fusion protein vaccine rePO(PcrV-OprI).Methods The in vitro stability of rePO,PcrV and OprI at 4 ℃,25 ℃,and 37 ℃ was examined.After immunizing mice with rePO,OprI and PcrV,respectively,the specific antibody potency in serum and the proportion of cells secreting IFN-γ and IL-4 in the spleen were examined;Additionally,detection of the levels of protein uptake by DC2.4 cells in vitro using laser confocal microscopy and flow cytometry,and their ability to promote the maturation of mouse bone marrow-derived dendritic cells(BMDC).Results The heat stability of fusion protein rePO was significantly better than that of PcrV.The induced anti-PcrV IgG and anti-OprI IgG potency of rePO was significantly higher than that of monomeric PcrV and OprI.Additionally,the number of cells secreting IFN-γ and IL-4 induced by immunization with rePO was significantly higher than that of PcrV and OprI.The uptake rate of fusion protein rePO by DC2.4 cells was significantly higher than that of PcrV and OprI.Furthermore,rePO promoted the maturation of mouse BMDC more effectively than PcrV and OprI.Conclusion OprI in the fusion protein rePO can significantly improve its thermal stability and immunogenicity,which lays the foundation for the successful development of Pseudomonas aeruginosa vaccine.

Objective: To evaluate the feasibility of exempting Asian-type DEL pregnant women from anti-D monitoring and RhD immunoglobulin prophylaxis injections by comparing and analyzing the clinical incidence of anti-D alloimmunization between Asian-type DEL pregnant women and true RhD-negative pregnant women. Methods: A total of 165 pregnant women who were initially screened as RhD negative by the saline method and received medical treatment in our hospital from December 2022 to August 2024 were collected as the research subjects. Absorption and elution tests, DEL genotyping, and gene sequencing were used to divide the pregnant women into the Asian-type DEL group and the true negative group. After obtaining informed consent, the following clinical management plan was implemented for pregnant women with Asian-type DEL: exemption from routine anti-D antibody detection, exemption from RhD immunoglobulin prophylaxis, and transfusion of RhD-positive red blood cells. Blood samples of newborns were sent for examination of hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn (HDFN). The routine management plan was implemented for true negative pregnant women. The incidence of alloimmunization and HDFN was comparatively analyzed between the two groups. Results: Among 165 initially screened RhD negative pregnant women, serological testing and genotyping confirmed 42 as Asian-type DEL, 9 as D variant, and 114 as true negative. Among 42 pregnant women with Asian-type DEL, 3 cases tested positive for HDFN due to receiving RhD immunoglobulin prophylaxis injection. The remaining 39 cases were exempted from anti-D testing after being fully informed of the risk, and did not receive RhD immunoglobulin prophylaxis. The HDFN tests were all negative. In the true negative group, anti-D antibodies were detected in 20 cases, of which 6 cases tested positive for HDFN. A pregnant woman with Asian -type DEL did not show RhD homologous immune response after receiving 2 units of RhD positive red blood cells. Statistical analysis revealed a significantly lower risk of anti-D alloimmunization in Asian-type DEL carriers compared to true D-negative pregnant women (P<0.05). Conclusion: Pregnant women with Asian-type DEL can be exempted from routine anti-D antibody testing and do not require routine RhD immunoglobulin prophylaxis injections.
