[摘 要] 目的:探讨麻疹-流行性腮腺炎-风疹联合减毒活疫苗(MMR)通过诱导免疫原性细胞死亡(ICD)对三阴性乳腺癌(TNBC)的免疫调节机制。方法:体外实验采用CCK-8法检测MMR对TNBC细胞4T1和MDA-MB-231存活率的影响,免疫荧光法检测MDA-MB-231细胞中钙网蛋白(CALR)表达,磷钼酸比色法检测MDA-MB-231细胞内ATP的含量,ELISA检测细胞上清液中高迁移率族蛋白B1(HMGB1)的表达水平,通过GEPIA网站分析CALR和HMGB1对乳腺癌患者生存期的影响。体内实验中经皮下注射4T1-Luc细胞于雌性BALB/c小鼠乳腺脂肪垫构建TNBC小鼠模型。设Control组、盐酸阿霉素(Dox)组、MMR组,按照分组每两天静脉给药1次,连续给药3次。动物活体成像系统观察肿瘤体积变化;记录小鼠体质量及各器官指数初步评估疫苗安全性;H-E染色观察肿瘤病理变化;免疫组化和Western blotting检测肿瘤中CALR和HMGB1蛋白的表达。流式细胞术分析小鼠脾T淋巴细胞亚群及肿瘤树突状细胞和巨噬细胞比例;免疫组化检测肿瘤CD8+ T淋巴细胞浸润;ELISA检测血清中促炎细胞因子IL-6和TNF-α含量。结果:MMR对4T1细胞的活性抑制作用较弱;MMR对MDA-MB-231细胞抑制率达90.39%(P < 0.001)。与Control组相比,MMR组MDA-MB-231细胞中ICD相关蛋白(CALR、ATP、HMGB1)表达上调(P < 0.001)。GEPIA网站分析表明,CALR和HMGB1高表达的患者总生存期有所延长。MMR延缓了荷瘤小鼠肿瘤体积增长(P < 0.001),延长小鼠的生存期,且28 d内MMR组荷瘤小鼠体重与Control组无显著性差异(P > 0.05);H-E染色显示,与Control组相比,MMR组小鼠肿瘤组织坏死区域扩大且有免疫细胞浸润;MMR上调肿瘤ICD相关蛋白CALR、HMGB1的表达水平;MMR组脾CD4+、CD8+ T淋巴细胞及肿瘤树突状细胞和M1型巨噬细胞的比例增加(P < 0.05),CD8+ T淋巴细胞在肿瘤组织中的浸润增加(P < 0.001),且促炎细胞因子IL-6和TNF-α水平升高(P < 0.01)。结论:MMR减毒活疫苗对TNBC的抗肿瘤作用可能与诱导肿瘤发生ICD进而激活抗肿瘤免疫相关。

Despite of the widespread use of hydrogen and methane breath test, the variability in testing protocols, gas measurement techniques, and interpretation criteria continues to challenge the reproducibility and comparability across centers, especially in the Asia-Pacific region. The Asian Neurogastroenterology and Motility Association hence presents the first Asian monograph guiding application and interpretation of breath test. The monograph was formulated according to the framework of indications, preparatory process, performance, and interpretation of results, as well as future direction for research.

Objective To develop an innovative recognition algorithm that aids physicians in the identification of pulmonary nodules. Methods Patients with pulmonary nodules who underwent thoracoscopic surgery at the Department of Thoracic Surgery, Affiliated Drum Tower Hospital of Nanjing University Medical School in December 2023, were enrolled in the study. Chest surface exploration data were collected at a rate of 60 frames per second and a resolution of 1 920×1 080. Frame images were saved at regular intervals for subsequent block processing. An algorithm database for lung nodule recognition was developed using the collected data. Results A total of 16 patients were enrolled, including 9 males and 7 females, with an average age of (54.9±14.9) years. In the optimized multi-topology convolutional network model, the test results demonstrated an accuracy rate of 94.39% for recognition tasks. Furthermore, the integration of micro-variation amplification technology into the convolutional network model enhanced the accuracy of lung nodule identification to 96.90%. A comprehensive evaluation of the performance of these two models yielded an overall recognition accuracy of 95.59%. Based on these findings, we conclude that the proposed network model is well-suited for the task of lung nodule recognition, with the convolutional network incorporating micro-variation amplification technology exhibiting superior accuracy. Conclusion Compared to traditional methods, our proposed technique significantly enhances the accuracy of lung nodule identification and localization, aiding surgeons in locating lung nodules during thoracoscopic surgery.

The International Severe Asthma Registry (ISAR) was established in 2017 to advance the understanding of severe asthma and its management, thereby improving patient care worldwide. As the first global registry for adults with severe asthma, ISAR enabled individual registries to standardize and pool their data, creating a comprehensive, harmonized dataset with sufficient statistical power to address key research questions and knowledge gaps. Today, ISAR is the largest repository of real-world data on severe asthma, curating data on nearly 35,000 patients from 28 countries worldwide, and has become a leading contributor to severe asthma research. Research using ISAR data has provided valuable insights on the characteristics of severe asthma, its burdens and risk factors, real-world treatment effectiveness, and barriers to specialist care, which are collectively informing improved asthma management. Besides changing clinical thinking via research, ISAR aims to advance real-world practice through initiatives that improve registry data quality and severe asthma care. In 2024, ISAR refined essential research variables to enhance data quality and launched a web-based data acquisition and reporting system (QISAR), which integrates data collection with clinical consultations and enables longitudinal data tracking at patient, center, and population levels. Quality improvement priorities include collecting standardized data during consultations and tracking and optimizing patient journeys via QISAR and integrating primary/secondary care pathways to expedite specialist severe asthma management and facilitate clinical trial recruitment. ISAR envisions a future in which timely specialist referral and initiation of biologic therapy can obviate long-term systemic corticosteroid use and enable more patients to achieve remission.

Prostate cancer is the most prevalent malignant tumor among men, ranking first in incidence and second in mortality globally. Novel hormone therapies (NHT) targeting the androgen receptor (AR) pathway have become the standard of care for metastatic prostate cancer. This review offers a comprehensive overview of NHT, including abiraterone, enzalutamide, apalutamide, darolutamide, and rezvilutamide, which have demonstrated efficacy in delaying disease progression and improving patient survival and quality of life. Nevertheless, resistance to NHT remains a critical challenge. The mechanisms underlying resistance are complex, involving AR gene amplification, mutations, splice variants, increased intratumoral androgens, and AR-independent pathways such as the glucocorticoid receptor, neuroendocrine differentiation, DNA repair defects, autophagy, immune evasion, and activation of alternative signaling pathways. This review discusses these resistance mechanisms and examines strategies to counteract them, including sequential treatment with novel AR-targeted drugs, chemotherapy, poly ADP-ribose polymerase inhibitors, radionuclide therapy, bipolar androgen therapy, and approaches targeting specific resistance pathways. Future research should prioritize elucidating the molecular basis of NHT resistance, optimizing existing therapeutic strategies, and developing more effective combination regimens. Additionally, advanced sequencing technologies and resistance research models should be leveraged to identify novel therapeutic targets and improve drug delivery efficiencies. These advancements hold the potential to overcome NHT resistance and significantly enhance the management and prognosis of patients with advanced prostate cancer.
