Tumors exhibit abnormal glucose metabolism, consuming excessive glucose and excreting lactate, which constructs a tumor microenvironment that facilitates cancer progression and disrupts immunotherapeutic efficacy. Currently, tumor glucose metabolic dysregulation to reshape the immunosuppressive microenvironment and enhance immunotherapy efficacy is emerging as an innovative therapeutic strategy. However, glucose metabolism modulators lack specificity and still face significant challenges in overcoming tumor delivery barriers, microenvironmental complexity, and metabolic heterogeneity, resulting in poor clinical benefit. Nanomedicines, with their ability to selectively target tumors or immune cells, respond to the tumor microenvironment, co-deliver multiple drugs, and facilitate combinatorial therapies, hold significant promise for enhancing immunotherapy through tumor glucose metabolic reprogramming. This review explores the complex interactions between tumor glucose metabolism-specifically metabolite transport, glycolysis processes, and lactate-and the immune microenvironment. We summarize how nanomedicine-mediated reprogramming of tumor glucose metabolism can enhance immunotherapy efficacy and outline the prospects and challenges in this field.

Objective To explore the impact of obstructive sleep apnea(OSA)on cognitive impairment in post-stroke patients,to explore its underlying mechanism and to evaluate potential diagnostic value by dynamically moni-toring the level of brain-derived neurotrophic factor(BDNF)and Tau protein in serum.Methods Totally 96 stroke patients admitted to Mianyang third People's Hospital from February 2022 to June 2024 were selected.They were divided into the groups complicated with OSA and control one without OSA following up of neuropsychological scales for 1 week,1 month,3 months,and 6 months after stroke for evaluating cognitive function.Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)was applied to detect the level of BDNF and Tau protein in serum.The correlation of test results and the degree of cognitive impairment as well as their diagnostic value were analyzed.Results The AHI in the OSA group was significantly higher than that of control group,while LSaO2 and MSaO2 were significantly lower in the OSA group(P＜0.05).One week and 1,3,6 month months after the onset of the disease,the MMSE and MoCA scores in the OSA group were significantly lower than those in the control group,BDNF level was signifi-cantly lower while Tau protein level was significantly higher as compare to those in control group(P＜0.05).Pear-son correlation analysis showed that the serum BDNF level was positively correlated with both MMSE score(r=0.654,P＜0.001)and MoCA score(r=0.689,P＜0.001).However,the serum Tau protein level was nega-tively correlated with both MMSE score(r=-0.623,P＜0.001)and MoCA score(r=-0.667,P＜0.001).The ar-ea under the curve(AUC)of the combined detection of BDNF and Tau protein was greater than that of the individ-ual detection.The diagnostic value of the combined detection of BDNF and Tau protein for cognitive impairment in post-stroke patients was greater than that of the individual detection(P＜0.05).Conclusions OSA significantly exacerbates patients'cognitive impairment after stroke.Elevated serum BDNF level and decreased Tau protein level may be the underlying mechanisms of cognitive impairment.Serum BDNF and Tau protein may function as potential biomarkers for diagnosis of cognitive impairment after stroke.

OBJECTIVE To explore the effect of artificial intelligence(AI)-based hand hygiene examination system on raising the accurate rate and qualified rate of hand hygiene tests of the logistics personnel.METHODS A total of 381 logistics personnels who were on duty in the Third Affiliated Hospital of Naval Medical University from Oct.2023 to Mar.2024 were recruited as the research subjects and were organized to take part in the training of hand hygiene theory and operation.The AI hand hygiene examination system was used for the assessment of 5 rounds of seven-step handwashing methods.The accurate rate of each single hand hygiene step and the total quali-fied rate were statistically analyzed before and after the training.RESULTS After the rounds of assessment with the use of AI hand hygiene examination system,the qualified rate of hand hygiene of the 381 logistics personnel was 96.06％after the training,higher than 12.34％before the training(x2=662.053,P＜0.001).The accurate rates of the steps of the seven-step handwashing method increased,and the accurate rates of[4L]left knuckle ro-tational rubbing(x2=347.676,P＜0.001),[4R]right knuckle rotational rubbing(x2=330.724,P＜0.001),[5L]left thumb rotational rubbing(x2=490.733,P＜0.001)and[5R]right thumb rotational rubbing(x2=438.805,P＜0.001)increased remarkably.CONCLUSION As compared with the traditional assessment mode for the seven-step handwashing training,the information technology based on AI hand hygiene examination system can effectively remedy the limitations of the direct monitoring of the observer such as'Hawthorne effect'and inca-pable of retrospective review of performance,and it can remarkably raise the accurate rate of hand hygiene and to-tal qualified rate of hand hygiene of the logistics personnel.

The PCR-amplified severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus(SFTSV)Gn-DⅢ-Ⅲ gene was inserted into the pET-30a(+)prokaryotic expression vector to generate the re-combinant plasmid pET-SFTSV-Gn-D Ⅲ-Ⅲ.The plasmid was transformed into E.coli BL21(DE3)for Gn-DⅢ-m protein expression and the expression conditions were optimized.The Gn-DⅢ-Ⅲ protein purified with Ni-NTA column affinity chromatography was applied as the captured antigen to establish an indirect ELISA method for the detection of SFTSV antibody.The results demonstrated that the recombinant plasmid pET-SFTSV-Gn-D Ⅲ-Ⅲ was successfully constructed as identified by PCR and sequencing.The recombinant protein SFTSV Gn-D m-Ⅲ was soluble ex-pression in E.coli under the optimal induction conditions of 0.4 mmol/L IPTG at 25 ℃ for 4 h,and the protein purity was 91.77％after purification by Ni-NTA column.The optimal reaction con-ditions for the indirect ELISA of SFTSV antibody were as follows:coating antigen concentration(5 μg/mL),primary antibody(incubation at 37 ℃ for 1.5 h),and secondary antibody(diluted 1:10 000 and incubated at 37 ℃ for 1 h).The established method had no cross-reactivity with Rift Valley fever virus(RVFV),Ebola virus(EBOV),and tick-borne encephalitis virus(TBEV)posi-tive sera.The method had a high sensitivity,with P/N＞2.1 for SFTSV-positive sera diluted to 81920.Coefficients of variation for intra-and inter-batch reactions were less than 10％.Detection of four SFTSV-infected human clinical serum samples showed the serum samples from patients in re-mission were tested as positive(P/N＞2.1),while serum samples from patients with multiple or-gan failure were detected as negative(P/N＜2.1).The results indicated that the SFTSV Gn-D Ⅲ-Ⅲ protein was successfully expressed and purified,and it was used as the coating protein to estab-lish an indirect ELISA assay for SFTSV antibody,which possesses good specificity,sensitivity and reproducibility.This method might be applied to detect human SFTSV clinical serum samples.

Objective:To investigate the current status of endoscopic treatment for gastroesophageal varices in portal hypertension in China, and to provide supporting data and reference for the development of endoscopic treatment.Methods:In this study, initiated by the Liver Health Consortium in China (CHESS), a questionnaire was designed and distributed online to investigate the basic condition of endoscopic treatment for gastroesophageal varices in portal hypertension in 2022 in China. Questions included annual number and indication of endoscopic procedures, adherence to guideline for preventing esophagogastric variceal bleeding (EGVB), management and timing of emergent EGVB, management of gastric and isolated varices, and improvement of endoscopic treatment. Proportions of hospitals concerning therapeutic choices to all participant hospitals were calculated. Guideline adherence between secondary and tertiary hospitals were compared by using Chi-square test.Results:A total of 836 hospitals from 31 provinces (anotomous regions and municipalities) participated in the survey. According to the survey, the control of acute EGVB (49.3%, 412/836) and the prevention of recurrent bleeding (38.3%, 320/836) were major indications of endoscopic treatment. For primary [non-selective β-blocker (NSBB) or endoscopic therapies] and secondary prophylaxis (NSBB and endoscopic therapies) of EGVB, adherence to domestic guideline was 72.5% (606/836) and 39.2% (328/836), respectively. There were significant differences in the adherence between secondary and tertiary hospitals in primary prophylaxis of EGVB [71.0% (495/697) VS 79.9% (111/139), χ2=4.11, P=0.033] and secondary prophylaxis of EGVB [41.6% (290/697) VS 27.3% (38/139), χ2=9.31, P=0.002]. A total of 78.2% (654/836) hospitals preferred endoscopic therapies treating acute EGVB, and endoscopic therapy was more likely to be the first choice for treating acute EGVB in tertiary hospitals (82.6%, 576/697) than secondary hospitals [56.1% (78/139), χ2=46.33, P<0.001]. The optimal timing was usually within 12 hours (48.5%, 317/654) and 12-24 hours (36.9%, 241/654) after the bleeding. Regarding the management of gastroesophageal varices type 2 and isolated gastric varices type 1, most hospitals used cyanoacrylate injection in combination with sclerotherapy [48.2% (403/836) and 29.9% (250/836), respectively], but substantial proportions of hospitals preferred clip-assisted therapies [12.4% (104/836) and 26.4% (221/836), respectively]. Improving the skills of endoscopic doctors (84.2%, 704/836), and enhancing the precision of pre-procedure evaluation and quality of multidisciplinary team (78.9%, 660/836) were considered urgent needs in the development of endoscopic treatment. Conclusion:A variety of endoscopic treatments for gastroesophageal varices in portal hypertension are implemented nationwide. Participant hospitals are active to perform emergent endoscopy for acute EGVB, but are inadequate in following recommendations regarding primary and secondary prophylaxis of EGVB. Moreover, the selection of endoscopic procedures for gastric varices differs greatly among hospitals.

Objective To investigate the effect of T cell immunoreceptor with Ig and ITIM domains (TIGIT) on the function of CD8⁺ T cells in the lungs of Plasmodium infected mice. Methods The lungs of the mice infected with Plasmodium yoelii were isolated, weighed and photographed after 12 days' infection. After dissolution, lung lymphocytes were isolated, counted and stained, and then the contents of CD8⁺ and TIGIT⁺CD8⁺ T cells were detected by flow cytometry. The expressions of L selectin (CD62L), CD69, programmed death 1 (PD-1), CD25, and C-X3-C motif chemokine receptor 1 (CX3CR1) on TIGIT⁺CD8⁺ T cells were detected by flow cytometry. After stimulation with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) and ionomycin, the ability of TIGIT⁺CD8⁺T cells to secrete interferon γ(IFN-γ), interleukin 21 (IL-21), IL-4, IL-17, and IL-10 was detected. Results The body mass of mice with Plasmodium infection was reduced. The lungs became darker, and the ratio of the lung mass to body mass was significantly increased. Compared with the normal mice, the percentages and absolute quantity of CD8⁺ and TIGIT⁺CD8⁺ T cells in the lungs of the infected mice were significantly increased. The percentage of TIGIT⁺CD8⁺ T cells expressing CD62L in the infected group was significantly lower, while the percentage of the CD69, PD-1, and CX3CR1 cells were significantly higher than that of TIGIT⁺CD8⁺ T cells from the normal mice. The percentages of TIGIT⁺CD8⁺ T cells secreting IL-21, IL-4, IL-17 and IL-10 cells in the infected group were significantly lower. Conclusion The lung lesions from mice with Plasmodium infection are obvious, the numbers of TIGIT⁺CD8⁺ T cells increase, and these cells express a variety of activation-related molecules, but the ability to secrete cytokines is reduced.

Pulmonary blast injury has become the main type of trauma in modern warfare, characterized by externally mild injuries but internally severe injuries, rapid disease progression, and a high rate of early death. The injury is complicated in clinical practice, often with multiple and compound injuries. Currently, there is a lack of effective protective materials, accurate injury detection instrument and portable monitoring and transportation equipment, standardized clinical treatment guidelines in various medical centers, and evidence-based guidelines at home and abroad, resulting in a high mortality in clinlcal practice. Therefore, the Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association and the Editorial Committee of Chinese Journal of Trauma organized military and civilian experts in related fields such as thoracic surgery and traumatic surgery to jointly develop the Clinical treatment guideline for pulmonary blast injury ( version 2023) by combining evidence for effectiveness and clinical first-line treatment experience. This guideline provided 16 recommended opinions surrounding definition, characteristics, pre-hospital diagnosis and treatment, and in-hospital treatment of pulmonary blast injury, hoping to provide a basis for the clinical treatment in hospitals at different levels.

Objective:To explore the influence of online and offline family therapy based on the Satir model on emotions of adolescents with depressive disorder and their parents in remote areas.Methods:A total of 98 cases adolescents with depressive disorder treated in the psychosomatic medicine of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University from January 2021 to June 2021 and their parents were selected as the objects. The adolescents with depressive disorder and their parents were randomly divided into the control group (49 parents and 49 adolescents) and the observation group (49 parents and 49 adolescents). The control group received the medical treatment (sertraline 100 mg/d) and the routine health education, while the observation group received the online and offline Satir family therapy on the basis of the intervention of the control group. Generalized anxiety disorder-7 (GAD-7) and patient health questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) were used to investigate the negative emotions of the parents of the two groups before and 12 weeks after the intervention. The screen for child anxiety related emotional disorders (SCARED) and depression self-rating scale for childhood (DSRS) were used to investigate the negative emotions of the adolescents before and 12 weeks after the intervention.The SPSS 20.0 software was used for statistical analysis. t test was used to compare the SCARED scale score and DSRS score changes of the adolescents in the two groups, and χ 2 test was used to compare the proportional changes of parents' anxiety and depression. Results:The scores of SCARED (51.55±12.69 vs 36.82±7.69, t=15.839) and DSRS (25.08±4.81 vs 16.88±2.16, t=13.047) of adolescents in the control group were significantly different before and after the intervention (both P<0.05). The scores of SCARED (51.16±15.84 vs 31.31±7.72, t=14.385) and DSRS (24.12±4.81 vs 14.08±2.03, t=14.723) of adolescents in the observation group were significantly different before and after the intervention (both P<0.05). After the intervention, the scores of SCARED and DSRS in the observation group were lower than those in the control group ( t=3.540, 6.609, both P<0.05). Before intervention, there was no significant difference in the proportion of anxiety and depression between the parents of the two groups (χ 2=1.837, 3.547, both P>0.05). After 12 weeks of intervention, there was a statistically significant difference in the proportion of anxiety and depression between the two groups, which were lower in the observation group than those in the control group (χ 2=5.995, 4.009, both P<0.05). Conclusion:Online + offline family therapy based on the Satir model can not only effectively reduce anxiety and depression of adolescents, but also effectively reduce anxiety and depression of their parents.It is especially suitable for outpatient management of children with depressive disorder in remote areas.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of heme oxygenase- 1 ( HO- 1 ) on pancreas and liver in severe acute pancreatitis(SAP) rats, and explore its probable mechanism. MethodsA total of 40 male SD rats were randomLy divided into 4 groups: control group(n = 10) ; SAP group(n = 10) ; HO-1 stimulation group (75 μg/kg hemin was injected intraperitoneally at 30 minutes after model establishment, n = 10 ) ; HO-1 inhibition group(20 μg/kg ZnPP was injected intraperitoneally at 30 minutes after model establishment, n = 10). Sodium Cholate (3％) was retrogradedly injected into the pancreatic duct to produce the SAP model. To observe the histopathological changes of pancreas, liver tissues were observed and serum, pancrease and liver tissues concentration of HO-1, IL-10 and TNF-α in different groups were observed 24 h after the SAP model establishment. ResultsCompared with those in SAP model group, the pathological scores were lower in HO-1 stimuLation group[ (7.50 ±0.58) vs (10.50 ±0. 71) ; ( 1.20 ±0.42) vs (1.70 ±0.48) ]( P ＜ 0.05 ), and the serum, pancreas and liver tissues HO- 1 [ (0.97 ± 0.02) ng/mL, (0.78 ± 0.09) ng/mL,(0.73 ±0.05) ng/mL]and IL-10[(101.72 ±2.63) ng/mL, (63.58 +1.02) pg/mL, (169.40 ±3.06) pg/mL ]concentrations were significantly elevated in HO- 1 stimuLation group ( P ＜ 0.05 ), while the serum, pancreas and liver tissues TNF-α [ (22.85 ± 1.74) pg/mL, (26.50 ± 1.3) pg/mL, (35.88 ±0.98 ) pg/mL]concentrations were significantly decreased in HO-1 stimuLation group (P ＜ 0.05 ). Compared with those in SAP model group, the pathological scores were higher in HO-1 inhibition group (P ＜0.05 ), and the serum, pancreas and liver tissues HO-1 and IL-10 concentrations were significantly decreased( P ＜0.05 ), while the serum, pancreas and liver tissues TNF-α concentrations were significantly elevated (P ＜ 0.05 ). CondusionThe results of the study demonstrated that HO- 1 over- expression has protective effects on the pancreas and liver in SAP. UP-regulated IL-10 expression and down-reguLated TNF-α expression might be served as a potential mechanism.
