Peptide-based radiopharmaceuticals targeting integrin α5β1 show promise for precise tumor diagnosis and treatment. However, current peptide-based radioligands that target α5β1 demonstrate inadequate in vivo performance owing to limited tumor retention. The use of PEGylation to enhance the tumor retention of radiopharmaceuticals by prolonging blood circulation time poses a risk of increased blood toxicity. Therefore, a PEGylation strategy that boosts tumor retention while minimizing blood circulation time is urgently needed. Here, we developed a PEGylation-enabled peptide multidisplay platform (PEGibody) for PR_b, an α5β1 targeting peptide. PEGibody generation involved PEGylation and self-assembly. [⁶⁴Cu]QM-2303 PEGibodies displayed spherical nanoparticles ranging from 100 to 200 nm in diameter. Compared with non-PEGylated radioligands, [⁶⁴Cu]QM-2303 demonstrated enhanced tumor retention time due to increased binding affinity and stability. Importantly, the biodistribution analysis confirmed rapid clearance of [⁶⁴Cu]QM-2303 from the bloodstream. Administration of a single dose of [¹⁷⁷Lu]QM-2303 led to robust antitumor efficacy. Furthermore, [⁶⁴Cu]/[¹⁷⁷Lu]QM-2303 exhibited low hematological and organ toxicity in both healthy and tumor-bearing mice. Therefore, this study presents a PEGibody-based radiotheranostic approach that enhances tumor retention time and provides long-lasting antitumor effects without prolonging blood circulation lifetime. The PEGibody-based radiopharmaceutical [⁶⁴Cu]/[¹⁷⁷Lu]QM-2303 shows great potential for positron emission tomography imaging-guided targeted radionuclide therapy for α5β1-overexpressing tumors.

Objective To analyze the risk factors for death in children with interruption of aortic arch (IAA) and ventricular septal defect (VSD) after one-stage radical surgery. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on patients with IAA and VSD who underwent one-stage radical treatment in the First Hospital of Hebei Medical University from January 2006 to January 2017. Cox proportional hazards regression model was used to analyze the risk factors for death after the surgery. Results A total of 152 children were enrolled, including 70 males and 82 females. Twenty-two patients died with a mean age of 30.73±9.21 d, and the other 130 patients survived with a mean age of 37.62±11.06 d. The Cox analysis showed that younger age (OR=0.551, 95%CI 0.320-0.984, P=0.004), low body weight (OR=0.632, 95%CI 0.313-0.966, P=0.003), large ratio of VSD diameter/aortic root diameter (VSD/AO, OR=2.547, 95%CI 1.095-7.517, P=0.044), long cardiopulmonary bypass time (OR=1.374, 95%CI 1.000-3.227, P=0.038), left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO, OR=3.959, 95%CI 1.123-9.268, P=0.015) were independent risk factors for postoperative death. Conclusion For children with IAA and VSD, younger age, low body weight, large ratio of VSD/AO, long cardiopulmonary bypass time and LVOTO are risk factors for death after one-stage radical surgery.

Objective:To analyze diagnostic efficacy of 64-row spiral computed tomography angiography(CTA)in patients with arteriosclerotic obliterans of lower extremity,and the application value of that in screen after interventional therapy.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 76 patients with arteriosclerotic obliterans of lower extremity who admitted to Beijing Huairou Hospital from July 2020 to June 2022,and all patients underwent 64-row spiral CTA.The digital subtraction angiography was used as gold standard.The degree of arterial stenosis,diagnostic efficacy and the situation of the restenosis of artery after interventional therapy of patients with arteriosclerotic obliterans of lower extremity were analyzed.Results:There were 1238 arterial nodules in 76 patients.In the results of 64-row spiral CTA,the results of 1170 arterial nodules were consistent with the results of digital subtraction angiography(94.51%).Among of them,the overestimation rate of 64-row spiral CTA was 4.44%(55/1238)and the underestimation rate of that was 0.57%(7/1238).According to the gold standard of digital subtraction angiography,the accuracy of 64-row spiral CTA was 91.84%in diagnosing the moderate and above moderate arterial stenosis,and the sensitivity,specificity,positively and negatively predictive value of that were respectively 86.91%,93.86%,85.25%and 84.61%.The accuracy,sensitivity,specificity,positively predictive value and negatively predictive value of 64-row spiral CTA were respectively 98.38%,85.71%,99.56%,94.74%and 98.69%in diagnosing arterial occlusion.After 1 year follow-up after interventional therapy,the rate of the restenosis of 76 patients was 13.16%as the examination of 64-row spiral CTA,and there was a total of 168 vascular nodules,and the diagnostic coincidence rate of 64-row spiral CTA was 97.62%(164/168).Conclusion:The 64-row spiral CTA can assess the degree of arterial occlusion of lower extremity in patients with arteriosclerotic obliterans lower extremity,which has favorable diagnostic efficacy and higher consistency with digital subtraction angiography.It is conducive to formulate the treatment plans,which also has favorable application value for the diagnosis of the restenosis after interventional therapy.

Objective: To compare the clinical efficacy of anterior column reconstruction using single or double titanium mesh cage (TMC) after total en bloc spondylectomy (TES) of thoracic and lumbar spinal tumors. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was performed involving 39 patients with thoracic or lumbar spinal tumors. All patients underwent TES, followed by anterior reconstruction and screw-rod instrumentation via a posterior-only procedure. Twenty-two patients in group A were treated with a single TMC to reconstruct the anterior column, whereas 17 patients in group B were reconstructed with double TMCs. Results: The overall follow-up is 20.5 ± 4.6 months. There is no significant difference between the 2 groups regarding age, sex, body mass index, tumor location, operative time, and intraoperative blood loss. The time for TMC placement was significantly shortened in the double TMCs group (5.2 ± 1.3 minutes vs. 15.6 ± 3.3 minutes, p = 0.004). Additionally, postoperative neural complications were significantly reduced with double TMCs (5/22 vs. 0/17, p = 0.046). The kyphotic Cobb angle and mean intervertebral height were significantly corrected in both groups (p ≤ 0.001), without obvious loss of correction at the last follow-up in either group. The bone fusion rates for single TMC and double TMCs were 77.3% and 76.5%, respectively. Conclusion Using 2 smaller TMCs instead of a single large one eases the placement of TMC by shortening the time and avoiding nerve impingement. Anterior column reconstruction with double TMC is a clinically feasible, and safe alternative following TES for thoracic and lumbar tumors.

Objective　To explore the application of factorial design in field trapping experiments for flies, and to provide more ideas for screening the best fly control method. Methods　A 2×2 factorial design was used to analyze the main effects of the height of the fly cage (hanging fly cage, standing fly cage) and the type of bait (commercial bait, smelly tofu bait), and the interaction between the two factors. The fly trapping methods were divided into four combinations: hanging fly cage and commercial bait, hanging fly cage and smelly tofu bait, standing fly cage and commercial bait, standing fly cage and smelly tofu bait. The experiment was repeated 7 times for each combination and carried out according to the National Vector Biological Surveillance Implementation Plan. The best fly trapping method was identified by factorial design analysis of variance. Results　A total of 2 296 flies were trapped in this study, with a cumulative deployment of 28 traps in the field, resulting in an average total density of 82.0 flies per cage. Among them, the number of flies attracted by the combination of standing fly cage and smelly tofu was the largest, accounting for 44.16% (1 014/2 296) of the total number of flies caught, with an average fly density of 144.8 flies per trap. This was followed by the combination of hanging fly cage and smelly tofu, hanging fly trap and commercial bait, and standing fly cage and commercial bait, accounting for 42.73% (981/2 296), 8.71% (200/2 296), and 4.40% (101/2 296) of the total, with average fly densities of 140.1, 28.6, and 14.4 flies per trap, respectively. The differences in field fly density among different trapping methods were statistically significant (F=49.441, P<0.001), and the differences in fly population composition were also statistically significant (χ2=259.980, P<0.001). The main effect of trap height was not significant (F=0.223, P=0.641), while the main effect of bait type was significant (F=147.206, P<0.001), and the interaction effect between trap height and bait type was not significant (F=0.894, P=0.354). Conclusions　Compared with the single-factor design method, the factorial design method can not only analyze the main effects of each factor but also the interactions between the factors. The combination of standing fly cage and smelly tofu is preferred to have a better fly control effect.
