Obesity usually exacerbates the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (ITME), hindering CD8+ T cell infiltration and function, which further represents a significant barrier to the efficacy of immunotherapy. Herein, a multifunctional liposomal system (CR-Lip) for encapsulating celastrol (CEL) was utilized to remodel obesity-related ITME and improve cancer immunotherapy, wherein Ginsenoside Rg3 (Rg3) was detected interspersed in the phospholipid bilayer and its glycosyl exposed on the surface of the liposome. CR-Lip had a relatively uniform size (116.5 nm), facilitating favorable tumor tissue accumulation through the interaction between Rg3 and glucose transporter 1 overexpressed in obese tumor cells. Upon reaching the tumor region, CR-Lip was found to induce the immunogenic cell death (ICD) of HFD tumor cells. Notably, the level of PHD3 in HFD tumor cells was effectively boosted by CR-Lip to effectively block metabolic reprogramming and increase the availability of major free fatty acids fuel sources. In vivo, experiments studies revealed that the easy-obtained nano platform stimulated enhanced the production of various cytokines in tumor tissues, DC maturation, CD8+ T-cell infiltration, and synergistic anticancer therapeutic potency with aPD-1 (tumor inhibition rate = 82.1%) towards obesity-related melanoma. Consequently, this study presented an efficacious approach to tumor immunotherapy in obese mice by encompassing tumor eradication, inducing ICD, and reprogramming metabolism. Furthermore, it offered a unique insight into a valuable attempt at the immunotherapy of obesity-associated related tumors.

Trauma-associated bone infection is one of the most serious infectious diseases after surgery, characterized by high incidence, complex pathogenic microorganisms, therapeutic difficulty and poor prognosis. Therefore, early accurate identification of pathogenic microorganisms and sensitivity of related antibiotics is very important to the success of surgery as well as of local and systemic antibiotic support therapies. As traditional detection methods have such shortcomings as complex items, numerous indicators, slow speed, a low positive rate, and inability to detect rare pathogenic microorganisms, there is an urgent need for better detection methods to identify pathogenic microorganisms of bone infection. In recent years, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and metagenomic next generation sequencing (mNGS) have been used in clinical diagnosis of a variety of infectious diseases because of their advantages in accuracy, speed, efficiency, and detection range of pathogenic microorganisms over traditional cultures. PCR and mNGS can also be used as effective tools to diagnose trauma-associated bone infection. This review explores the advantages, disadvantages, development trends and guiding significance of these two techniques in the diagnosis of trauma-associated bone infection.

Objective:
To observe the effect of ticagrelor for non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
Methods:
A total of 200 patients with non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome after PCI were enrolled in this study.And the patients were randomly divided into the observation group (18 months treatment group, 100 cases) and control group (12 months treatment group, 100 cases) according to the digital table.The control group was given dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) for 12 months, and then, suspended the usage of ticagrelor.The observation group was treated by DAPT for 18 months.The major adverse cardiovascular events (MACCE) and the secondary end point events were observed.
Results:
The incidence rate of MACCE between the two groups had no statistically significant difference (χ2=0.298,
