Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP1) is a multifunctional protein involved in diverse cellular functions, notably DNA damage repair. Pharmacological inhibition of PARP1 has therapeutic benefits for various pathologies. Despite the increased use of PARP inhibitors, challenges persist in achieving PARP1 selectivity and effective blood-brain barrier (BBB) penetration. The development of a PARP1-specific positron emission tomography (PET) radioligand is crucial for understanding disease biology and performing target occupancy studies, which may aid in the development of PARP1-specific inhibitors. In this study, we leverage the recently identified PARP1 inhibitor, AZD9574, to introduce the design and development of its 18F-isotopologue ([18F]AZD9574). Our comprehensive approach, encompassing pharmacological, cellular, autoradiographic, and in vivo PET imaging evaluations in non-human primates, demonstrates the capacity of [18F]AZD9574 to specifically bind to PARP1 and to successfully penetrate the BBB. These findings position [18F]AZD9574 as a viable molecular imaging tool, poised to facilitate the exploration of pathophysiological changes in PARP1 tissue abundance across various diseases.

Prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) PET demonstrates superior accuracy compared to alternative imaging modalities in the diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer. Nonetheless, subjective interpretation processes still result in false positives and false negatives, leading to erroneous or missed diagnoses, thereby compromising diagnostic efficacy, influencing preoperative grading and risk stratification, and interfering with clinical decision-making. With the rapid advancement of medical imaging technology and artificial intelligence, the role of radiomics is gaining prominence. By leveraging extracted image features and employing quantitative analysis, radiomics based on PSMA PET images holds great potential to enhance the capabilities of diagnosing, grading, quantifying risk, and predicting treatment efficacy in prostate cancer. This article aims to comprehensively review the research progress of PSMA PET radiomics in the clinical diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer.

BACKGROUND:Ferroptosis is strongly associated with the occurrence and progression of osteoarthritis,but the specific characteristic genes and regulatory mechanisms are not known. OBJECTIVE:To identify osteoarthritis ferroptosis signature genes and immune infiltration analysis using the WGCNA and various machine learning methods. METHODS:The osteoarthritis dataset was downloaded from the GEO database and ferroptosis-related genes were obtained from the FerrDb website.R language was used to batch correct the osteoarthritis dataset,extract osteoarthritis ferroptosis genes and perform differential analysis,analyze differentially expressed genes for GO function and KEGG signaling pathway.WGCNA analysis and machine learning(random forest,LASSO regression,and SVM-RFE analysis)were also used to screen osteoarthritis ferroptosis signature genes.The in vitro cell experiments were performed to divide chondrocytes into normal and osteoarthritis model groups.The dataset and qPCR were used to verify expression and correlate immune infiltration analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)12 548 osteoarthritis genes were obtained by batch correction and PCA analysis,while 484 ferroptosis genes were obtained,resulting in 24 differentially expressed genes of osteoarthritis ferroptosis.(2)GO analysis mainly involved biological processes such as response to oxidative stress and response to organophosphorus,cellular components such as apical and apical plasma membranes,and molecular functions such as heme binding and tetrapyrrole binding.(3)KEGG analysis exhibited that differentially expressed genes of osteoarthritis ferroptosis were related to signaling pathways such as the interleukin 17 signaling pathway and tumor necrosis factor signaling pathway.(4)After using WGCNA analysis and machine learning screening,we obtained the characteristic gene KLF2.After validation by gene microarray,we found that the gene expression of KLF2 was higher in the test group than in the control group in the meniscus(P=0.000 14).(5)In vitro chondrocyte assay showed that type Ⅱ collagen and KLF2 expression was lower in the osteoarthritis group than in the control group in chondrocytes(P<0.05),while in osteoarthritis ferroptosis,mast cells activated was closely correlated with dendritic cells(r=0.99);KLF2 was closely correlated with natural killer cells(r=-1,P=0.017)and T cells follicular helper(r=-1,P=0.017).(6)The findings indicate that using WGCNA analysis and machine learning methods confirmed that KLF2 can be a characteristic gene for osteoarthritis ferroptosis and may improve osteoarthritis ferroptosis by interfering with KLF2.

This paper summarizes the experience of professor DING Yuanqing in treating post-stroke depression (PSD) of young and middle-aged patients with the method of regulating qi and promoting blood circulation. PSD is a syndrome resulting by vascular injury and impairment of brain marrow and vital activity after the stroke. Factors such as poor lifestyle, improper control of chronic diseases and sleep disorders,etc.,which can be harmful individually, or they can interact. Over time,these factors can block yang of defensive qi,obstract blood circulationg and disturb qi movement. Reverse ascending of defensive qi can generate wind and fire,generate phlegm and stasis from the fluid the blood. Qi stagnation, phlegm and stasis can combined with stagnation heat, phlegm heat, blood stasis heat which caused by stroke , which can further aggravate pulse accumulation, damage the blood vessels and block the collaterals. Consequently, defensive qi is floating over and nutrient qi is not smooth, resulting in inadequate nourishment of the brain marrow,and disfunction of vital activity, causing depressive symptoms. Professor DING innovatively applied the method of regulating qi and promoting blood circulation. He selected the classic prescriptions such as Guizhi Decoction(桂枝汤), Baoyuan Decoction(保元汤), as well as self-fitting prescriptions like Erdan Decoction(二丹汤), Erzhu Decoction(二竹汤), to relieve qi and tonify qi,promote harmonious blood circulation, facilitate vasodilation, ease symptoms of depression, invigorate the mind, and provide an effective treatment for PSD.

Objective:To construct machine learning-based delirium prediction models for ICU patients with multiple trauma and evaluate their prediction efficiency.Methods:A retrospective case-control study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 417 ICU multiple trauma patients admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from July 2019 to June 2022, including 305 males and 112 females, aged 18-88 years [(47.8±15.7)years]. The score of acute physiology and chronic health status assessment II (APACHE II) was 0-50 points [(9.80±0.29)points]. The patients were randomly divided into training set ( n=291) and test set ( n=126) with a ratio of 7∶3. The demographic data, past history, treatment and laboratory results of the patients were collected. Lasso regression analysis was applied to screen variables that were significantly correlated to the incidence of delirium in the training set and the variables were then included into the machine learning models. Six machine learning methods including the random forest, gradient boosting tree, extreme gradient boosting, logistic regression, support vector machine and K nearest neighbor were used to construct the delirium prediction models for ICU multiple trauma patients. The accuracy, sensitivity, precision, F1 fraction and area under the curve (AUC) of the receiver′s operating characteristics (ROC) curve were calculated by using the data in the test set to evaluate the prediction efficiency of the models. Results:With regards to the six prediction models, namely random forests, gradient boosting tree, extreme gradient boosting, logistic regression, support vector machine and K nearest neighbor prediction models, the accuracy in the test set was 0.70, 0.68, 0.69, 0.73, 0.70 and 0.60 respectively; the sensitivity was 0.74, 0.80, 0.81, 0.86, 0.85 and 0.69 respectively; the precision was 0.72, 0.69, 0.70, 0.73, 0.71 and 0.65 respectively; the F1 fraction was 0.73, 0.74, 0.75, 0.79, 0.78 and 0.67 respectively; the AUC was 0.72, 0.73, 0.72, 0.80, 0.74 and 0.64 respectively. Among them, the logistic regression model had the best discriminability.Conclusion:Delirium prediction models for ICU patients with multiple trauma have been successfully constructed, among which the logistic regression model has the best prediction efficiency and can serve as an effective tool for early prediction and prevention of delirium in the clinical care of patients with multiple trauma.
