Accurate prediction of drug responses in cancer cell lines(CCLs)and transferable prediction of clinical drug responses using CCLs are two major tasks in personalized medicine.Despite the rapid advancements in existing computational methods for preclinical and clinical cancer drug response(CDR)prediction,chal-lenges remain regarding the generalization of new drugs that are unseen in the training set.Herein,we propose a multimodal fusion deep learning(DL)model called drug-target and single-cell language based CDR(DTLCDR)to predict preclinical and clinical CDRs.The model integrates chemical descriptors,mo-lecular graph representations,predicted protein target profiles of drugs,and cell line expression profiles with general knowledge from single cells.Among these features,a well-trained drug-target interaction(DTI)prediction model is used to generate target profiles of drugs,and a pretrained single-cell language model is integrated to provide general genomic knowledge.Comparison experiments on the cell line drug sensitivity dataset demonstrated that DTLCDR exhibited improved generalizability and robustness in predicting unseen drugs compared with previous state-of-the-art baseline methods.Further ablation studies verified the effectiveness of each component of our model,highlighting the significant contribution of target information to generalizability.Subsequently,the ability of DTLCDR to predict novel molecules was validated through in vitro cell experiments,demonstrating its potential for real-world applications.Moreover,DTLCDR was transferred to the clinical datasets,demonstrating satisfactory performance in the clinical data,regardless of whether the drugs were included in the cell line dataset.Overall,our results suggest that the DTLCDR is a promising tool for personalized drug discovery.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of cord blood stem cell transplantation (CBSCT) in pediatric recipients with mucopolysaccharidosis type Ⅱ (MPS Ⅱ, Hunter syndrome).Methods:Clinical data of five male children with MPS Ⅱ who underwent CBSCT at the Department of Hematology, Children's Hospital of Soochow University between March 2018 and July 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. Post-transplantation clinical outcomes and enzymatic activity were observed. Literature was searched in the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang, and PubMed databases using the keywords "mucopolysaccharidosis type Ⅱ" "MPS Ⅱ" "IDS gene" and "Hunter syndrome" in both English and Chinese. Articles describing clinical manifestations, genetic diagnosis, and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) in MPS II were screened.Results:All five patients were male, with a median age at diagnosis of 4.3(2.5-5.5) years and a median age at transplantation of 4.6(2.8-6.5) years. At diagnosis, all exhibited coarse facial features, hepatosplenomegaly, skeletal deformities or abnormalities, abnormal head MRI findings, and Mongolian spots; four had joint stiffness, three had valvular heart disease, and two had airway obstruction, short stature, and intellectual disability. Three recipients received single-unit cord blood, and two received double-unit cord blood. Myeloablative conditioning regimens consisted of busulfan, cyclophosphamide, anti-thymocyte globulin ± fludarabine. The median neutrophil engraftment and platelet engraftment times were 19(14-21) days and 26(15-44) days, respectively. Complete donor chimerism was achieved at 1 month post-transplantation. Complications included peri-engraftment syndrome in 5 cases, acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in 2 cases (1 with grade Ⅳ skin and grade Ⅱ intestinal involvement; 1 with grade Ⅱ skin involvement), limited chronic GVHD in 1 case (moderate intestinal involvement), cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection in 3 cases, Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection in 1 case, and capillary leak syndrome in 1 case; all were successfully managed. At the last follow-up in December 2023, all patients were alive, and enzyme activity had normalized by 3 months post-transplantation. Most clinical symptoms and signs improved; however, neurocognitive function showed no significant improvement, and some recipients exhibited progressive brain parenchymal changes on MRI. Literature review included 7 English and 5 Chinese studies, indicating that CBSCT and other HSCT modalities can improve multi-system clinical manifestations in MPS Ⅱ children, including restoration of enzyme activity, organ function improvement (such as liver and spleen shrinkage, adenoid reduction), enhanced motor function, and stabilization of neurocognitive function. Some studies suggest superior efficacy compared with enzyme replacement therapy, particularly in delaying disease progression and improving daily living abilities.Conclusion:CBSCT effectively restores enzymatic activity and improves multi-system manifestations in children with MPS Ⅱ, although its effect on neurological symptoms remains controversial. It is a safe and feasible therapeutic option for this condition.

Objective To analyze the correlation between lesion volume,lesion mass,and maximum lesion diameter in the assessment of advanced hepatocarcinoma with lung metastasis,and to evaluate the application value of total volume response and total mass response of lung metastatic lesions in efficacy assessment.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the CT imaging data of 20 patients clinically confirmed with hepatocarcinoma and lung metastases,followed by subsequent follow-up to monitor their survival outcomes.Volume measurement software was used to measure the volume of lesions before and after treatment.We recored lesion diameter,volume measurements and CT values,calculated the mass of the lesions.The correlation between lesion volume,mass and diameter was analyzed,as well as the correlation between the change rates of volume,mass and lesion diameter.Additionally,the total volume and total mass of all lesions were calculated.The correlation between the change rates of total volume/total mass and the change rate of pulmonary lesion diameter under the RECIST 1.1 criteria,as well as the correlation with changes in patients'tumor markers,were analyzed.Furthermore,the overall volume response and overall mass response of lesions were evaluated based on changes in total volume and total mass,and their consistencies with the RECIST 1.1 criteria for efficacy evaluation were analyzed.Finally,univariate Cox regression analysis was performed to explore the association between these variables and patient survival outcomes.Results There was strong correlation between lesion volume,mass and tumor diameter(r=0.771,0.775),between the rate of change in mass and the rate of change in lesion diameter(r=0.846),and between the rates of change in total volume/total mass and the rate of change in pulmonary lesion diameter under the RECIST 1.1 criteria(r=0.800,0.896).The correlation between the rates of change in total volume/total mass and patients'tumor markers was not statistically significant.There was moderate correlation between the rate of change in volume and the rate of change in lesion diameter(r=0.692).The evaluation results of total volume response and total mass response for pulmonary lesions in advanced hepatocarcinoma with lung metastasis were generally consistent with the RECIST 1.1 criteria(Kappa=0.486,0.426).Univariate Cox regression analysis revealed that total lesion volume(P=0.047)and total lesion mass(P=0.049)were independent prognostic factors for survival outcomes.Conclusion Lesion volume,mass,and diameter,as well as their respective change rates,were found to be interrelated.Furthermore,total lesion volume and total lesion mass were identified as independent prognostic factors for survival outcomes.The total volume response and total mass response are promising evaluation methods in evaluating the efficacy of lung metastasis of hepatocarcinoma,which are different from the RECIST 1.1 evaluation criteria.

Objective:To investigate the value of preoperative intestinal ultrasound parameters in predicting early postoperative recurrence（EPR）in patients with Crohn's disease（CD）.Methods:Ninety-five patients with CD who underwent I-stage intestinal resection at the Sixth Affiliated Hospital， Sun Yat-sen University from March 2015 to December 2020 were retrospectively enrolled. The patients were divided into EPR group （ n=50） and non-EPR （NEPR） group （ n=45） based on recurrence within one year postoperatively. Differences in preoperative intestinal ultrasound parameters including bowel wall thickness，bowel wall stratification， color Doppler grading， mesenteric fat hypertrophy （MFH） ， mesenteric lymphadenopathy， abscess/fistula， abdominal effusion， and clinical factors such as preoperative C-reactive protein （CRP） and erythrocyte sedimentation rate （ESR） were compared between the two groups. The predictive values of ultrasound parameters with statistically significant differences between the two groups were analyzed. Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analyses were used to identify independent predictive factors associated with EPR in patients with CD. Results:During the 1-year follow-up，EPR occurred in 52.6%（50/95）patients with CD. Among clinical factors，preoperative CRP and ESR levels showed statistically significant differences between the EPR and NEPR groups（all P<0.05）. For ultrasound parameters，the incidences of mesenteric fat hypertrophy（MFH）and abscess/fistula were significantly higher in the EPR group than the NEPR group（all P<0.05）. MFH demonstrated a significantly higher AUC value for predicting EPR compared to abscess/fistula（0.797 vs.0.617， P=0.002）. Univariate Logistic analysis showed that CRP，ESR，MFH and abscess/fistula were candidate variables for diagnosing EPR（all P<0.05）. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis indicated that MFH（ OR=13.800， P<0.001）and the laboratory measure CRP（ OR=1.015， P=0.030）were effective predictive factors for EPR. Conclusions:Preoperative intestinal ultrasound parameter MFH may serve as a valuable predictor for assessing EPR risk in patients with CD.

Objective To predict the value of admission dehydration state combined with fluid accumulation index for post-operative prognosis in elderly patients with intracerebral hemorrhage(ICH).Methods A retrospective study was conducted on 320 elderly ICH patients receiving surgical treatment in Department of Neurosurgery and then admitted to its Intensive Care Unit of the Affiliated Hospital of North China University of Science and Technology from May 2023 to March 2024.According to the survival status at 30 d after onset,they were divided into a survival group(202 cases)and a death group(118 cases).Clinical data such as basic information,admission vital signs,laboratory indicators,and fluid supplementation were compared between the two groups.ROC curve was plotted.Results The death group exhibited significantly advanced age,more bleeding sites,higher 7-day fluid accumulation index,and larger proportions of ventricular rupture,midline displacement and admission dehydration status,but lower uric acid level than the the survival group(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).Binary logistic regression analysis showed that admission dehydration status and 7-day fluid accumulation index were risk factors for 30-day mortality in elderly ICH patients after surgery(P＜0.01).ROC curve analysis showed that the AUC value of admission dehydration status combined with 7-day fluid accumulation index in predicting 30-day death of elderly ICH patients after surgery was 0.774(95％CI:0.722-0.825),and that of the combination was better than that of each indicator alone(P＜0.05).Conclusion Hospital dehydration status combined with 7-day fluid accumulation index has the best effectiveness in predicting 30-day mortality in elderly ICH patients after surgical treatment.

For middle-aged and elderly patients with conditions such as spinal fractures and degenerative spinal diseases, spinal internal fixation is a core surgical procedure for reconstructing spinal stability, heavily relying on the biomechanical stability provided by pedicle screw systems. Whereas, these patients are often complicated by osteoporosis that can significantly compromise the stability of the bone-pedicle screw interface, leading to a marked increase in pedicle screw loosening and surgical failure rates. The bone cement-augmented pedicle screw technique, which involves injecting bone cement into the vertebral body or screw trajectory to optimize the mechanical properties of the bone-pedicle screw composite, has been proven to significantly enhance fixation strength and effectively prevent screw-related failures, thereby reducing the incidence of internal fixation failure in high-risk populations undergoing spinal fusion. However, the widespread clinical application of this technique has faced challenges such as inaccurate clinical decision-making (indication and contraindication selection), non-standardized operative practices, and insufficient awareness of complication prevention, resulting in considerable variability in clinical outcomes and even severe complications. To address this, Prof. Luo Fei from First Affiliated Hospital of Army Medical University initiated the project and the Chinese Association Orthopaedic Surgeons organized relevant experts to develop the Evidence-based clinical practice guideline for bone cement-augmented pedicle screw technique ( version 2025), based on current evidence. The guidelines put forward 8 recommendations regarding the clinical value, scope of application, and operational standards of the technique, aiming to provide evidence-based medical support and technical standardization for clinical decision-making.

Objective:To conduct enrichment and biological behavior studies on CD44 + CD24 - triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) stem-like cells, and to construct 68Ga-labeled CD44 peptide ( 68Ga-1, 4, 7-triazacyclononane-1, 4, 7-triacetic acid (NOTA)-CD44p) and evaluate its targeting ability towards the surface marker CD44 of TNBC stem-like cells. Methods:Suspension sphere culture method was utilized to enrich and cultivate CD44 + CD24 - cell subpopulations from TNBC cell line MDA-MB-231 and non-TNBC cell line MCF-7. Flow cytometry was used to detect the expression of stem cell markers of different groups, cell scratch assay was performed to assess the migration ability of CD44 + CD24 - cell subpopulations, and Transwell invasion assay was performed to evaluate the invasion ability of CD44 + CD24 - cell subpopulations. 68Ga-NOTA-CD44p was prepared, followed by purification and identification with high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The targeting ability of 68Ga-NOTA-CD44p towards CD44 + TNBC cells was evaluated through cellular uptake and blocking experiments. Data were analyzed by independent-sample t test, one-way analysis of variance and the least significant difference t test. Results:Suspension sphere culture successfully enriched CD44 + CD24 - TNBC stem-like cell spheres. Compared to the non-TNBC cell line MCF-7, TNBC cell line MDA-MB-231 exhibited better sphere-forming ability (18.50±3.73 vs 31.83±4.92; t=5.29, P<0.001) and a higher proportion of CD44 + CD24 - cell subset ((24.97±8.12)% vs (90.93±4.46)%; F=170.10, t=14.93, both P<0.001). The wound healing rate ((71.00±11.00)% vs (28.33±4.16)%; F=42.91, t=8.02, both P<0.001) and invasion rate ((60.60±16.87)% vs (24.16±8.15)%; F=11.83, t=4.40, both P<0.01) of CD44 + CD24 - MDA-MB-231 group cells were significantly increased compared to the CD44 + CD24 - MCF-7 group. MDA-MB-231 cells showed strong uptake ability of 68Ga-NOTA-CD44p, which decreased after CD44p blocking. Conclusions:Compared to CD44 + CD24 - MCF-7 cells, CD44 + CD24 - MDA-MB-231 cells exhibit higher malignant biological behavior. 68Ga-NOTA-CD44p targets the surface marker CD44 of TNBC stem-like cells, laying the research foundation for targeted therapy against TNBC with tumor stem cells as targets.

Objective To explore the feasibility and safety of ultrasound-guided percutaneous microwave ablation for unresectable pancreatic cancer.Methods Totally 84 patients who underwent ultrasound-guided percutaneous microwave ablation for unresectable pancreatic cancer were enrolled,and the technical success rate,complete ablation rate,complication rate,pain relief rate and survival time,etc.were observed.Results The median age of 84 cases was 61.5 years.Totally 86 tumors,including 44.19％(38/86)at the head/neck and 55.81％(48/86)at the body/tail of pancreas were detected,and a total of 85 ablation sessions were performed with the median ablation energy applied per tumor of 9.90(1.08,21.60)kJ and the complete ablation rate of 42.86％(36/84).The technical success rate was 100％(85/85).Thirty-nine complication events occurred in 25 cases,no ablation-related death.Among 34 patients underwent ablation mainly for pain symptoms,the pain score decreased from(6.22±1.12)points before treatment to(1.94±1.64)points after treatment(P＜0.001).During 6.8(3.3,12.9)months' follow-up,the mean survival time was(8.5±6.7)months,and all 47 patients died due to tumor progression.Conclusion Ultrasound-guided percutaneous microwave ablation was safe and feasible for unresectable pancreatic cancer.

Objective To investigate the predictive value of early fluid balance combined with daily average fluid intake on the prognosis of patients who received hematoma evacuation for spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage(sICH).Methods This study retrospectively and consecutively enrolled patients who underwent hematoma evacuation for sICH admitted to the Neurosurgical Intensive Care Unit of North China University of Science and Technology Affiliated Hospital between January 2023 and January 2025.Patients'baseline and clinical data were collected,including gender,age,admission vital signs(body temperature,respiratory rate,heart rate,systolic and diastolic blood pressure),medical history(hypertension,diabetes mellitus,coronary heart disease),admission Glasgow coma scale(GCS)score,admission laboratory parameters(including white blood cell count,red blood cell count,platelet count,urine bacterial levels,urine ketones,urine pH,homocysteine),hemorrhage location,hemorrhage volume,time from ictus to surgery,and hematoma evacuation rate(hematoma evacuation rate[％]=[preoperative hematoma volume-postoperative hematoma volume]/preoperative hematoma volume × 100％).Fluid intake,output,balance,daily average intake,and cumulative fluid balance during the early postoperative period(the first to seventh 24-hour periods)were assessed and recorded.Fluid intake comprised the sum of intravenously administered fluids(crystalloids,hypertonic fluids,colloids,blood products,and parenteral nutrition),enteral nutrition(nasogastric feeding solutions and water),and renal replacement therapy fluids.Fluid output comprised the sum of urine volume,vomitus,drainage fluid,and dialysis fluid losses.Fluid balance was defined as the difference between fluid intake and output.Daily average intake was calculated as the average of the fluid intake over the first seven postoperative 24-hour periods.Cumulative fluid balance was the sum of the fluid balances over the first seven postoperative 24-hour periods.Patient outcomes were assessed at 30 days postoperatively.Discharged patients underwent outpatient review or telephone follow-up,while inpatients were evaluated by neurosurgeons.Prognosis was evaluated using the 30-day modified Rankin scale(mRS)score:mRS scores 0-3 were classified as favorable prognosis,and mRS scores 4-6 as poor prognosis.Patients were subsequently divided into favorable prognosis and poor prognosis groups based on mRS scores.Factors with P＜0.05 in univariate comparisons and without collinearity(multicollinearity was defined by:tolerance＜0.1 and variance inflation factor＞10)were included in multivariate Logistic regression analysis to identify independent risk factors for poor 30-day prognosis after hematoma evacuation in sICH patients.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve analysis was employed to evaluate the predictive value of relevant factors for poor 30-day prognosis after hematoma evacuation in sICH patients.Results A total of 320 patients who underwent hematoma evacuation for sICH were enrolled,including 192 males and 128 females,with an age range of 20-91 years(median age 62[53,68]years).Among them,144 patients were assigned to the favorable prognosis group and 176 to the poor prognosis group.The poor prognosis group exhibited significantly higher hemorrhage volume,homocysteine level,fluid intake at the 3rd,5th,6th,and 7th 24-hour periods,fluid balance at the 3rd,5th,6th,and 7th 24-hour periods,daily average intake,and cumulative fluid balance compared to the favorable prognosis group(all P＜0.05).The favorable prognosis group had a significantly higher hematoma evacuation rate,GCS score,proportion of supratentorial hemorrhage and negative urine ketones than the poor prognosis group(all P＜0.05).No significant differences were found in other clinical data(all P＞0.05).Fluid balance over the first seven postoperative 24-hour periods displayed a rise-decline-rise pattern in the poor prognosis group and a rise-decline pattern in the favorable prognosis group.Both groups peaked at the 3rd 24-hour period.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis identified fluid balance at the 3rd 24-hour period(OR,2.013,95％CI 1.386-2.922,P＜0.01)and daily average intake(OR,3.583,95％CI 1.793-7.161,P＜0.01)as independent influencing factors for poor 30-day prognosis after hematoma evacuation in sICH patients.ROC curve analysis revealed that the area under the curve(AUC)for fluid balance at the 3rd 24-hour period and daily average intake in predicting poor 30-day prognosis were 0.699(95％CI 0.642-0.757)and 0.765(95％CI 0.712-0.819),respectively.The combined model of fluid balance at the 3rd 24-hour period and daily average intake achieved an AUC of 0.804(95％CI 0.756-0.853),demonstrating significantly superior predictive performance compared to either variable alone(both P＜0.05).Conclusions The combination of fluid balance at the 3rd 24-hour period and daily average intake demonstrates modest predictive value for poor 30-day prognosis after hematoma evacuation in sICH patients.These findings require validation through multicenter,large-scale,prospective studies.
