Sonodynamic therapy （SDT） applies low-frequency ultrasound to activate sonosensitizers that have accumulated in tumor location， which induces cavitation effects and leads to the in-situ generation of reactive oxygen species （ROS）， thereby achieving precise and efficient tumor treatment. Owing to its advantages such as deep tissue penetration and controllable treatment range， SDT has attracted significant attention and has been widely used in the research on the treatment of various tumors. While conventional treatment modalities have achieved significant efficacy in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma （HCC）， there are still certain limitations. In this context， nanomedicine-based SDT leverages the targeting capabilities of nano-agents to realize specific killing of HCC cells， and furthermore， it can synergize with photodynamic therapy， chemotherapy， and immunotherapy to provide new opportunities for developing novel treatment modalities for HCC. This article reviews the mechanism of action of SDT and the advances in the research and application of SDT in the treatment of HCC， analyzes the shortcomings of existing studies， and proposes the directions for future development， in order to provide a theoretical foundation and scientific guidance for related research on HCC.

Objective:To analyze the drug resistance status and related risk factors in elderly patients with pulmonary tuberculosis,and to construct and validate a drug resistance risk prediction model for elderly pulmonary tuberculosis patients,providing evidence for early clinical identification of high-risk populations.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted,consecutively enrolling 315 pulmonary tuberculosis patients aged ≥60 years from January 2019 to December 2021.Based on drug susceptibility test results,patients were divided into drug-resistant group(85 cases)and drug-sensitive group(230 cases).Data on demographic characteristics,clinical manifestations,comorbidities,imaging features,and previous treatment history were collected.Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to identify drug resistance-related factors,and a prediction model was constructed accordingly.The model was internally validated using the concordance index(C-index)and Bootstrap method.Results:Among 315 elderly pulmonary tuberculosis patients,the drug resistance rate was 26.98％,predominantly mono-resistance(48.24％)and multidrug-resistance(28.24％).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that previous anti-tuberculosis treatment history[OR=4.537,95％CI(1.962-10.498),P=0.005],diabetes mellitus[OR=3.286,95％CI(1.547-6.979),P=0.002],pulmonary cavitation[OR=4.158,95％CI(1.926-8.973),P＜0.001],pleural effusion[OR=2.563,95％CI(1.218-5.390),P=0.013],and tracheobronchial tuberculosis[OR=2.819,95％CI(1.352-5.876),P=0.006]were independent risk factors for drug resistance in elderly pulmonary tuberculosis.The prediction model constructed based on these factors had a C-index of 0.815(95％CI:0.762-0.868).Conclusion:The drug resistance rate is high among elderly pulmonary tuberculosis patients.Previous anti-tuberculosis treatment history,diabetes mellitus,pulmonary cavitation,pleural effusion,and tracheobronchial tuberculosis are independent risk factors for drug resistance in elderly pulmonary tuberculosis.The prediction model constructed based on these factors has good predictive value for identifying high-risk populations,which is helpful for early clinical intervention and individualized treatment strategy formulation.

Aim To mine the competing ceRNA net-works associated with programmed cell death in the pathophysiological mechanisms of atherosclerosis(AS)based on bioinformatics,in order to identify new targets for the diagnosis and treatment of AS.Methods Firstly,the GSE97210 and GSE28858 datasets were screened from the GEO database.Differentially ex-pressed lncRNA,mRNA and miRNA were identified,following which a IncRNA-miRNA-mRNA regulatory network was constructed in Cytoscape 3.7.2 software based on ceRNA theory.Second,GO and KEGG en-richment analysis of mRNA in the ceRNA network was performed.Finally,the mRNAS within the ceRNA net-work were compared with genes related to autophagy,pyroptosis and ferroptosis to establish a ceRNA network related to programmed cell death.Results A total of 1208 DElncRNAS,4723 DEmRNAS and 139 DEmiR-NAS were identified.A ceRNA network was estab-lished,comprising 64 lncRNAS,8 miRNAS and 167 mRNAS.The mRNAS within the CeRNA network were mainly enriched in biological processes such as positive regulation of transcription and migration,protein bind-ing,and signaling pathways including PI3K-Akt signa-ling pathway,and mTOR signaling pathway.Finally,this study established 7 lncRNA-mediated ceRNA regu-latory pathways associated with pyroptosis and 23 ln-cRNA-mediated regulatory pathways for ferroptosis and autophagy.Conclusion This study has successfully constructed a ceRNA network related to programmed cell death,which helps us understand the mechanism by which programmed cell death leads to AS.

Objective To investigate the cellular characteristics in the development of retinal tumors induced by MY-CN overexpression,and to find the key proteins that play an important role in this process.Methods T-MYCN Y1 and Y2 cells cultured in vitro for 1 year and 2 years were selected for the experiment.The WERI-RB-1 cell line obtained from Shanghai Cell Bank of Chinese Academy of Sciences was taken as the mature retinoblastoma(RB)control(WERI-Rb-1 group).Untreated normal human retinal tissues were used as the control group.Cells were inoculated into a 24-well plate at a density of 1 × 104 cells per well,and the cell morphology was observed under a microscope and images were collected.Cell count was performed on the 4th,8th and 12th day after inoculation.Immunofluorescence staining was employed to de-tect the expression of the proliferation marker Ki67 and cone cell marker L/M opsin in each group.Quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction(qRT-PCR)was utilized to assess the expression of MYCN,CCNB1,CDK1,SYK,and RXRγ in cells across all groups.Proteomics analysis was performed to detect variations in protein expression profiles across groups and to identify key regulatory genes.Subsequently,cell growth and proliferation were evaluated after OTX2 knockdown by lentiviruses.Results The growth curve showed that there were(59.17±4.01)× 104 cells in the T-MYCN Y1 group,(85.14±4.54)× 104 cells in the T-MYCN Y2 group and(100.73±1.99)× 104 cells in the WERI-Rb-1 group on the 12th day of in-vitro culture(all P＜0.05).Compared with those in the control group,the positive cell rates of Ki67 and L/M opsin increased in T-MYCN Y1,T-MYCN Y2 and WERI-Rb-1 groups(all P＜0.001).The relative expression levels of MYCN mR-NAs in T-MYCN Y1,T-MYCN Y2 and WERI-Rb-1 groups were significantly higher than those in the control group(all P＜0.001).The relative expression levels of CCNB1 and CDK1 mRNAs also increased significantly in the three groups,com-pared with those in the control group(all P＜0.01).There was no significant difference in the relative expression of SYK mRNAs between T-MYCN Y1 and control groups(P＞0.05).The relative expression level of RXRγ mRNAs was significantly higher in the T-MYCN Y1 group than that in the control group(P＜0.05).The relative expression levels of SYK and RXRγmRNAs in T-MYCN Y2 and WERI-Rb-1 groups were significantly increased,compared with those in the control group(all P＜0.05).GO enrichment analysis showed that these differentially-expressed proteins were enriched into protein complex assembly and mitochondria pathways.KEGG enrichment analysis revealed that the enriched pathways of these differential-ly-expressed proteins included carbon metabolism,metabolic pathway and fatty acid degradation.Both proteomics and Western blot analyses indicated that OTX2 expression levels were the highest in the WERI-Rb-1 group,second highest in the T-MYCN Y2 group,and the lowest in the T-MYCN Y1 group(all P＜0.01).According to qRT-PCR,the expression levels of OTX2 mRNAs in T-MYCN Y1,T-MYCN Y2 and WRI-Rb-1 cells with OTX2 knockdown were lower than those in empty vec-tor controls(all P＜0.05).The growth curve of cells showed that after knocking down OTX2 in the three groups of cells,both cell growth and proliferation ability decreased significantly(all P＜0.001).Conclusion During the development of retinal tumors induced by MYCN overexpression,cells gradually exhibit characteristics similar to WERI-Rb-1 cells,which are a typical RB cell line.OTX2 plays an important role in MYCN amplification or the growth and proliferation of highly ex-pressed RB.Targeting OTX2 may become a new research direction for the treatment of RB.
