The innate immune system can be boosted in response to subsequent triggers by pre-exposure to microbes or microbial products, known as “trained immunity”. Compared to classical immune memory, innate trained immunity has several different features. Firstly, the molecules involved in trained immunity differ from those involved in classical immune memory. Innate trained immunity mainly involves innate immune cells (e.g., myeloid immune cells, natural killer cells, innate lymphoid cells) and their effector molecules (e.g., pattern recognition receptor (PRR), various cytokines), as well as some kinds of non-immune cells (e.g., microglial cells). Secondly, the increased responsiveness to secondary stimuli during innate trained immunity is not specific to a particular pathogen, but influences epigenetic reprogramming in the cell through signaling pathways, leading to the sustained changes in genes transcriptional process, which ultimately affects cellular physiology without permanent genetic changes (e.g., mutations or recombination). Finally, innate trained immunity relies on an altered functional state of innate immune cells that could persist for weeks to months after initial stimulus removal. An appropriate inducer could induce trained immunity in innate lymphocytes, such as exogenous stimulants (including vaccines) and endogenous stimulants, which was firstly discovered in bone marrow derived immune cells. However, mature bone marrow derived immune cells are short-lived cells, that may not be able to transmit memory phenotypes to their offspring and provide long-term protection. Therefore, trained immunity is more likely to be relied on long-lived cells, such as epithelial stem cells, mesenchymal stromal cells and non-immune cells such as fibroblasts. Epigenetic reprogramming is one of the key molecular mechanisms that induces trained immunity, including DNA modifications, non-coding RNAs, histone modifications and chromatin remodeling. In addition to epigenetic reprogramming, different cellular metabolic pathways are involved in the regulation of innate trained immunity, including aerobic glycolysis, glutamine catabolism, cholesterol metabolism and fatty acid synthesis, through a series of intracellular cascade responses triggered by the recognition of PRR specific ligands. In the view of evolutionary, trained immunity is beneficial in enhancing protection against secondary infections with an induction in the evolutionary protective process against infections. Therefore, innate trained immunity plays an important role in therapy against diseases such as tumors and infections, which has signature therapeutic effects in these diseases. In organ transplantation, trained immunity has been associated with acute rejection, which prolongs the survival of allografts. However, trained immunity is not always protective but pathological in some cases, and dysregulated trained immunity contributes to the development of inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. Trained immunity provides a novel form of immune memory, but when inappropriately activated, may lead to an attack on tissues, causing autoinflammation. In autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and atherosclerosis, trained immunity may lead to enhance inflammation and tissue lesion in diseased regions. In Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease, trained immunity may lead to over-activation of microglial cells, triggering neuroinflammation even nerve injury. This paper summarizes the basis and mechanisms of innate trained immunity, including the different cell types involved, the impacts on diseases and the effects as a therapeutic strategy to provide novel ideas for different diseases.

In order to investigate the effects of LAL on the lipolysis and lipid synthesis of dairy adi-pocytes,the protein expressions of lipid synthesis-related molecules,acetyl-CoA carboxylase-1(ACC1),phosphorylated transcription factor-α(CEBPα),diacylglyceryl acyltransferase 2(DGAT2),sterol regulatory element binding protein 1(SREBP1),and peroxisome proliferator-ac-tivated receptor-γ(PPARγ),and lipolysis-related molecules,lipid droplet coated protein-1(PLIN1),triglyceride lipase(ATGL),hormone-sensitive lipase(HSL),p-HSL,and the target pro-tein lysosomal acid lipase(LAL),were detected in adipose tissues of healthy dairy cows and ketosis cows.The lipid synthesis and lipolysis-related protein expressions in adipocytes were detected by Western blot technology.The primary bovine adipocytes were cultured in vitro with overexpressed LAL,and the lipolysis model of adipocytes was constructed by adding isoproterenol(ISO).The re-sults showed that the expression of LAL in adipose tissue of ketosis cows was significantly lower than that of healthy cows(P＜0.01).Compared with healthy cows,the protein expression levels of lipid synthesis-related proteins ACC1,CEBPα,DGAT2,SREBP1 and PPARγin adipose tissue of clinical ketosis cows were significantly decreased,while the protein expression and phosphorylation levels of lipolysis-related proteins,PLIN1,ATGL,and p-HSL were significantly increased.The a-bove results confirmed that the lipid synthesis of adipose tissue of ketosis cows was inhibited,and the lipolysis was enhanced.In vitro results showed that ISO could downregulate the protein ex-pression levels of lipid synthesis related molecules,and upregulate the protein expression and phosphorylation levels of lipid lysis related molecules in bovine adipocytes.The content of basal lipid synthesis and ISO-induced lipid synthesis proteins in bovine adipocytes of LAL overexpres-sion group was significantly increased,while the content of basal lipid lysis and ISO-induced lipid lysis proteins was significantly decreased.In conclusion,in vivo and in vitro studies have shown that LAL can inhibit the lipid lysis of bovine adipocytes and promote the lipid synthesis of bovine adipocytes.

Fever of unknown origin(FUO)is a difficulty in clinical diagnosis and treatment.Patients with FUO come to seek medical consultation usually with fever as the main complaint,and the accompanying symptoms and signs are generally atypical.The pathogenesis of FUO remains conflicting in the field of modern western medicine,and its treatment is still focused on empirical anti-inflammatory management,which has the deficiency of delayed diagnosis,limited therapeutic options,poor therapeutic effects,and obvious adverse reactions.In the field of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM),FUO generally results from the dysfunction of zang-fu organs and the imbalance of yin and yang,and has the clinical features of long duration of illness,unknown etiology,complexity of illness,recurrent attacks,and difficult to be cured.Based on the six-meridian syndrome differentiation,Chief Physician LI Chuang-Peng pointed out that the pathogenesis of FUO is characterized by the combined disease of shaoyin and yangming,and put forward the therapeutic principle of warming shaoyin and unblocking yangming.He proposed the use of Dahuang Fuzi Decoction(mainly composed of Rhei Radix et Rhizoma and Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata)plus Yiyi Fuzi Baijiang Powder(mainly composed of Coicis Semen,Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata and Patriniae Herba)to subside fever and eliminate pathogen,together with Asari Radix et Rhizoma for guiding the medicine directly to the shaoyin.Moreover,therapies of strengthening and activating spleen and stomach,nourishing yin to produce fluid,and unblocking the blood vessels can be used for eliminating the pathogen and supporting the healthy qi.

There are huge differences between tumor cells and normal cells in material metabolism, and tumor cells mainly show increased anabolism, decreased catabolism, and imbalance in substance metabolism. These differences provide the necessary material basis for the growth and reproduction of tumor cells, and also provide important targets for the treatment of tumors. Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent form of cell death characterized by an imbalance of iron-dependent lipid peroxidation and lipid membrane antioxidant systems in cells, resulting in excessive accumulation of lipid peroxide, causing damage to lipid membrane structure and loss of function, and ultimately cell death. The regulation of ferroptosis involves a variety of metabolic pathways, including glucose metabolism, lipid metabolism, amino acid metabolism, nucleotide metabolism and iron metabolism. In order for tumor cells to grow rapidly, their metabolic needs are more vigorous than those of normal cells. Tumor cells are metabolically reprogrammed to meet their rapidly proliferating material and energy needs. Metabolic reprogramming is mainly manifested in glycolysis and enhancement of pentose phosphate pathway, enhanced glutamine metabolism, increased nucleic acid synthesis, and iron metabolism tends to retain more intracellular iron. Metabolic reprogramming is accompanied by the production of reactive oxygen species and the activation of the antioxidant system. The state of high oxidative stress makes tumor cells more susceptible to redox imbalances, causing intracellular lipid peroxidation, which ultimately leads to ferroptosis. Therefore, in-depth study of the molecular mechanism and metabolic basis of ferroptosis is conducive to the development of new therapies to induce ferroptosis in cancer treatment. Ferroptosis, as a regulated form of cell death, can induce ferroptosis in tumor cells by pharmacologically or genetically targeting the metabolism of substances in tumor cells, which has great potential value in tumor treatment. This article summarizes the effects of cellular metabolism on ferroptosis in order to find new targets for tumor treatment and provide new ideas for clinical treatment.

Ion concentration polarization (ICP) is an electrical transport phenomenon that occurs at the micro-nano interface under the action of an applied electric field, and the ICP phenomenon can be used to enrich charged particles with high efficiency. The microfluidic chip has the advantages of high precision, high efficiency, easy integration and miniaturization in biochemical analysis, which provides a new solution and technical way for biochemical analysis. In response to the demand for the detection of trace charged target analytes in sample solution, the advantages of high enrichment multiplicity, convenient operation and easy integration of ICP are utilized to provide an effective way for microfluidic biochemical detection. The combination of ICP phenomenon and microfluidic analysis technology has been widely used in the fields of pre-enrichment of charged particles, separation of targets, and detection of target analytes in biochemical analysis. In this paper, the principle of ICP and the microfluidic ICP chip are briefly introduced. Under the action of external electric field, the co-ions pass through the ion-selective nanochannel, the counterions are rejected at the boundary of nanochannel to form a depletion zone, and the charged samples will be enriched at the boundary of the depletion zone. Then the preparation techniques and methods of ICP chips are summarized. Among them, the design of microfluidic channel structure and the preparation and design of nanostructures are emphasized. The basic single-channel structure is analyzed, and the parallel-channel structure as well as the integrated multi-functional microfluidic ICP chip are sorted out and summarized. The preparation methods of nanostructures in ICP chips and their respective advantages and disadvantages are listed, and it is summarized that the current mainstream means are the embedding method and the self-assembly method, and attention is paid to the design of nanostructures preparation methods by both of them. In addition, this paper also discusses how to optimize the enrichment efficiency of ICP chip, through the introduction of multi-field coupling, valve control and other means to achieve the optimization of the enrichment efficiency of target substances. Meanwhile, this paper provides a classified overview of the progress of application of ICP chips in biochemical analysis and detection. ICP chips have been widely used in the research and development of biosensors, which can be used for the enrichment and separation of a variety of analytes including small molecules, nucleic acids, proteins, and cells, etc. By changing the design of microfluidic structures, integrating detection methods and modifying specific antibodies, ICP chips have shown great potential in the fields of rapid enrichment and pre-processing of targets, separation of targets and highly sensitive detection. Finally, it is pointed out that ICP chips are facing challenges in improving enrichment efficiency and selectivity, and solving the problems of fluid control, mixing and transport to match the biological properties of target assay, and that microfluidic ICP chips have been continuously promoting the development of ICP chips through the improvement of materials, chip design and integration of multifunctional units, opening up new possibilities in the field of biochemical analysis methods and applications. It can be seen that microfluidic ICP chips have the advantages of low sample flow rate, good separation and enrichment, high detection efficiency, and easy integration and miniaturization, which have shown good research significance and practical prospects in the field of biochemical detection.

Objective To investigate the advantages and disadvantages of percutaneous bone marrow puncture biopsy guided by automatic laser navigation and free-hand percutaneous bone marrow biopsy guided by CT.Methods Seventy patients with bone marrow biopsy at the department of nuclear medicine in this hos-pital from January to June 2022 were selected as the study subjects and divided into the laser navigation group (bone marrow biopsy guided by automatic laser navigation,n=30) and free-hand puncture group (percutane-ous bone marrow biopsy guided by CT,n=40) based on different guidance methods.The duration of the pro-cedure,total radiation dose,total number of scans,positive rate of bone lesion biopsy and puncture complica-tions occurrence were compared between the two groups.Results Compared to the free-hand puncture group,the operation duration in the laser navigation group was shorter[11.00(7.00,13.00)min vs. 13.00(11.00,17.75)min],the total radiation dose was lower[439.00(291.00,568.75)mGy vs. 510.00(431.25,708.50) mGy],total number of scans was less[4.50(3.00,6.00)times vs. 6.00(5.00,7.00)times],and the differ-ences were statistically significant (P<0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in the positive rate of bone lesion biopsy between the laser navigation group and free-hand puncture group[96.67％(29/30) vs. 85.00％(34/40),P>0.05].No puncture complications occurred in both groups.Conclusion Automatic laser navigation could assist the operators to better complete percutaneous bone marrow biopsy procedures.

Objective To investigate the effect of progesterone receptor membrane component 1(PGRMC1)mediated autophagy on the sensitivity of liver cancer cells to 125I particles irradiation.Methods Hepatoma cell lines Huh7 and LM3 were exposed to different doses(0,2,4,6 and 8 Gy)of 125I particles,and cell autophagy was observed by transmission electron microscopy(TEM).Then,autophagy inhibitor chloroquine(CQ),agonist rapamycin(Rapa),and PGRMC1 inhibitor AG-205 were used respectively to verify that PGRMC1-mediated autophagy plays a key role in the sensitivity of hepatocellular carcinoma cells to 125I particle irradiation.Cell proliferation,colony formation and apoptosis were detected by CCK-8 assay,clonal formation test and flow cytometry,respectively.The expression levels of PGRMC1,microtubule-associated protein light chain 3-Ⅰ(LC3-Ⅰ),LC3-Ⅱ and p62 were detected by Western blotting.Results Different doses of 125I particles irradiation significantly decreased the proliferation and clonogenesis of Huh7 and LM3 cells(P＜0.05),and increased the apoptotic cells(P＜0.01),in a dose-dependent manner.Compared with the 0 Gy group,the ratio of LC3-Ⅱ/LC3-Ⅰ in Huh7 and LM3 cells was obviously increased,and the expression of p62 was significantly down-regulated in the 6 Gy group.The proliferation capacity and clonal formation ability of Huh7 and LM3 cells were decreased significantly,and their apoptotic cells were increased notably in the 6 Gy+CQ group than the 6 Gy group,while the above results were on the contrary in the 6 Gy+Rapa group.The 6 Gy+AG205 group had notably decreased LC3-Ⅱ/LC3-Ⅰ ratio in the Huh7 and LM3 cells,up-regulated p62 expression,reduced cell proliferation capacity and clone formation ability,and enhanced cell apoptosis when compared with the 6 Gy group,and the above results of the 6 Gy+PGRMC1 group were opposite.Conclusion Increment of PGRMC1 induced by 125I irradiation can promote autophagy,increase the proliferation and clonogenesis,and reduce the apoptosis in hepatocellular carcinoma cells.

Objective:To investigate the effect of transconjunctival lower blepharoplasty combined with stromal vascular fraction-gel (SVF-gel) transplantation in suborbital rejuvenation.Methods:The clinical data of patients with suborbital rejuvenation who were admitted to the Department of Plastic Surgery, Wuhan No.1 Hospital from April 2019 to April 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. Hirmand classification of tear trough deformity was performed based on preoperative photographs. The expanded orbital septum fat was removed through the conjunctival approach, and the SVF-gel was extracted from the fat which was harvested from abdomen or thigh. The tear trough or suborbital depression was corrected by SVF-gel injection. The patients were followed up and the complications related to the operation were recorded. According to tear trough rating scale (TTRS), the depth of tear trough depression, the degree of pigmentation, the sagging degree of zygomatic fat pad and the degree of lower eyelid skin fold were scored before and after operation. The higher the total score indicates the greater severity of the lacrimal groove deformity. The morphology of the orbital-buccal junction was rated (0 to 3) according to the Barton aesthetic rating criteria. The aesthetic effects of lower eyelid bag and tear trough correction were comprehensively analyzed based on the satisfaction questionnaire (very satisfied, satisfied, dissatisfied 3 grades). SPSS 22.0 software was used for statistical analysis, and the normally distributed measurement data were represented by Mean±SD. Paired sample t-test was used to compare preoperative and postoperative TTRS scores, and P<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results:A total of 92 patients with bilateral lower eyelid bag accompanied by tear trough or middle facial depression were included. There were 15 males and 77 females, aged (38.8±9.6) years (21-55 years). Preoperative Hirmand tear trough classification was performed as type Ⅱ in 37 cases, as type Ⅲ in 55 cases. All patients had conjunctival edema and lower eyelid swelling of different degrees 3 days after surgery, among which 35 patients had skin ecchymosis of different degrees, which recovered spontaneously 1 to 2 weeks after surgery, and no complications such as hematoma, diplopia, fat liquefaction, fat nodule and fat embolism occurred. Postoperative follow-up was conducted for 6 to 12 months. Comparison of preoperative and postoperative TTRS scores: compared with preoperative results, the TTRS scores of Hirmand type Ⅱ patients [(2.37±0.78) points vs. (4.83±0.98) points, t=36.54, P<0.001] and type Ⅲ patients [(2.61±0.60) points vs. (5.38±0.93) points, t=55.20, P<0.001] were significantly decreased after surgery, and the differences were statistically significant. Comparison of Barton aesthetic rating before and after surgery: for Hirmand type Ⅱ patients, preoperative rating was grade 1 in 7 cases, grade 2 in 19 cases, grade 3 in 11 cases, and postoperative improvement was grade 0 in 36 cases and grade 1 in 1 case; for Hirmand type Ⅲ patients, preoperative ratings were grade 2 in 20 cases, grade 3 in 35 cases, and postoperative improvement was grade 0 in 50 cases, grade 1 in 5 cases. Postoperative patient satisfaction survey: 85 cases (92.4%) were very satisfied, 5 cases (5.4%) were satisfied, 2 cases (2.2%) were dissatisfied. For the 2 patients who were not satisfied, one patient had no obvious improvement due to tear trough deformity, and was filled with SVF-gel for the second time 3 months later, achieving satisfactory results. One patient still had baggy eye on the outer side of the lower eyelid after surgery, which was corrected again 3 months later and achieved satisfactory results. Conclusion:For patients with lower eyelid bag with tear trough or suborbital depression without obvious skin relaxation, lower eyelid bag correction through conjunctival approach combined with SVF-gel transplantation can achieve the effect of rejuvenation of the suborbital region.
