BACKGROUND:As a common method of cancer treatment,chemotherapy has a certain therapeutic effect in the early stage.However,as the frequency of chemotherapy increases,the resistance of tumor cells to drugs gradually increases,that is,chemotherapy resistance.At present,the main mechanisms of chemotherapy resistance include the failure of chemotherapy drugs to reach the tumor site,the loss of drug activity leading to a decrease in drug efficacy,and tumor cells evading drug attack by reshaping their metabolic functions,gene phenotypes,and microenvironment.However,the specific mechanism remains to be discussed in depth. OBJECTIVE:To summarize the mechanisms by which exosomal miRNA is involved in drug resistance in different tumors,and to propose potential targets. METHODS:The PubMed database was searched using the English search terms"hematological malignancies,liver cancer,lung cancer,breast cancer,melanoma,colorectal cancer,drug resistance,exosomal miRNAs."The search time range was from January 2013 to August 2023.Preliminary screening was carried out by reading the titles and abstracts,and the exclusion criteria were for literature with poor relevance to the research content or repetitive content.Finally,60 articles were included for review. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Exosomal miRNA enters the intercellular matrix and circulation,and participates in the formation and development of different tumor biological processes,including tumor microenvironment remodeling,angiogenesis,and drug resistance,by exerting local paracrine or distal effects.(2)Exosomal miRNA can penetrate the cell membrane into the cytoplasm of another cell,activate or inhibit the signaling pathway in the recipient cell by delivering miRNA,and maintain cell survival,proliferation,and metastasis during chemotherapy,thus leading to drug resistance.(3)Many exosomal miRNAs related to chemotherapy resistance have been identified and studied as common tumor treatment targets.(4)Although exosomal miRNA holds great promise as potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets,there are still some research deficiencies that need to be addressed:Firstly,there is a lack of standardized protocols for exosome isolation and characterization,resulting in differences in the methods used in different studies;secondly,although the presence and abundance of miRNAs in exosomes have been widely studied,their functional roles and mechanisms are not completely clear.Elucidating the specific targets and pathways regulated by exosomal can provide valuable insights into their biological significance and potential therapeutic applications.Addressing these research gaps will contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of exosomal miRNAs and their potential applications in various fields,including diagnosis,therapy,and personalized medicine.

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 explore the practical application effectiveness of Internet+standardized intervention modes(infection prevention+regular testing+self-directed learning+peer influence)in the comprehensive prevention and control of AIDS among men who have sex with men(MSM)and to evaluate the efficacy of integrating modern information technology with traditional standardized intervention measures against AIDS-related high-risk behaviors in MSM.Methods From September 2023 to September 2024,a total of 947 male MSM aged≥18 years who self-identified as non-heterosexual and were registered on the"Yulejian"platform,a self-built online comprehensive testing platform,were recruited through the voluntary counselling and testing(VCT)clinics of disease control departments and social organizations in Chongqing.A single-group prospective self-controlled before-after study design without a parallel control group was adopted in this study.All participants received a 6-month standardized Internet-based intervention,including targeted health education,risk assessment,HIV self-testing,pre-exposure prophylaxis(PrEP)/post-exposure prophylaxis(PEP)services,and online counselling.Core indicators,including AIDS knowledge awareness rate,sexual behavior incidence,condom use rate,drug use rate,and PEP/PrEP utilization rate were employed to evaluate the intervention efficacy on high-risk behaviors in MSM.Results After the intervention,the incidence of anal intercourse(74.2%vs 58.0%),heterosexual intercourse(32.4%vs 22.9%),and drug use(9.7%vs 4.5%)were all significantly decreased when compared with the corresponding rates before intervention(P<0.01).While,the consistent condom use rate during anal intercourse(47.4%vs 66.9%),awareness of sexual partners'HIV status(25.2%vs 44.7%),and PEP medication rate(7.6%vs 36.9%)were all obviously increased(P<0.01).Conclusion Our Internet+intervention modes,a four-dimensional linkage system of"infection prevention+regular testing+self-directed learning+peer influence"significantly reduces high-risk behaviors and HIV infection risks among MSM,which providing a digital paradigm for regional HIV prevention and control.

Objective:The transjugular or transfemoral approach is used as a common method for hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG) measurement in current practice. This study aims to confirm the safety and effectiveness of measuring HVPG via the forearm venous approach.Methods:Prospective recruitment was conducted for patients with cirrhosis who underwent HVPG measurement via the forearm venous approach at six hospitals in China and Japan from September 2020 to December 2020. Patients' clinical baseline information and HVPG measurement data were collected. The right median cubital vein or basilic vein approach for all enrolled patients was selected. The HVPG standard process was used to measure pressure. Research data were analyzed using SPSS 22.0 statistical software. Quantitative data were used to represent medians (interquartile ranges), while qualitative data were used to represent frequency and rates. The correlation between two sets of data was analyzed using Pearson correlation analysis.Results:A total of 43 cases were enrolled in this study. Of these, 41 (95.3%) successfully underwent HVPG measurement via the forearm venous approach. None of the patients had any serious complications. The median operation time for HVPG detection via forearm vein was 18.0 minutes (12.3~38.8 minutes). This study confirmed that HVPG was positively closely related to Child-Pugh score ( r = 0.47, P = 0.002), albumin-bilirubin score ( r = 0.37, P = 0.001), Lok index ( r = 0.36, P = 0.02), liver stiffness ( r = 0.58, P = 0.01), and spleen stiffness ( r = 0.77, P = 0.01), while negatively correlated with albumin ( r = -0.42, P = 0.006). Conclusion:The results of this multi-centre retrospective study suggest that HVPG measurement via the forearm venous approach is safe and feasible.

Results of several large clinical trials of tenecteplase have been published in the European Stroke Organization Conference in 2024, which provides more evidence-based medical evidences for tenecteplase in acute ischemic stroke reperfusion. This article reviews the latest research on tenecteplase in acute ischemic stroke reperfusion, and looks forward to the future direction of this field, in order to provide some references for clinicians and further related clinical study using tenecteplase.

Objective To evaluate the effect of clinical pharmacists participating in the treatment of hospitalized patients with diabetic foot by antibiotics management index and health economics index. Methods 40 hospitalized patients with diabetic foot of Wagner Grade 4 in the Endocrine Department of Air Force Medical Center from April to September 2017 were selected as control group, and 40 hospitalized patients with diabetic foot of Wagner Grade 4 in the Endocrine Department from April to September 2019 were selected as interventional group. No clinical pharmacists were involved in drug treatment of patients in the control group, while the clinical pharmacists in the interventional group participated in drug treatment, and implemented antimicrobial stewardship, medication reconciliation, pharmaceutical care and medication education. Antibiotics management indexes (use intensity of antibiotics, use rate of special class antibiotics) and health economics indexes (medicine expenses, hospitalization expenses) of the two groups were compared. Results The efficacy of the two groups was similar. The use intensity of antibiotics and use rate of special class antibiotics of the interventional group in which clinical pharmacists participated were significantly lower than the control group (P<0.01), so were the medicine expenses and hospitalization expenses (P<0.01). Conclusion Clinical pharmacists participating in the treatment of hospitalized patients with diabetic foot could reduce antibiotics administration index and health economics index, promote rational medicine use and save medical expenses.

Sjögren's syndrome （SS）， a disorder of immune system， is one of the dominant diseases treated by traditional Chinese medicine （TCM）. China Association of Chinese Medicine organized experts in the field of TCM and western medicine rheumatology and pharmacology to discuss the advantages and optimal regimens of TCM for the treatment of SS. The experts generally agreed on the low early diagnosis rate of SS and the lack of targeted therapeutic drugs. In addition， autoimmune abnormality is the key factor in the occurrence of SS and deficiency of both Qi and Yin is the core pathogenesis. SS has unique tongue manifestations， which is expected to allow for the early diagnosis and treatment with integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine. TCM has advantages in treating SS in terms of alleviating clinical symptoms and systemic involvement， individualized treatment， relieving sleep and mood disorders， preventing the occurrence in the early stage， and enhancing the effectiveness and reducing toxicity in the treatment by integrated TCM and western medicine. In general， TCM has advantages in different stages of SS. Internal and external use of TCM， acupuncture， and acupotome are all available options. The optimal regimens should be determined on the basis of pattern identification， stage of disease， and the advantages of TCM. Clinical characteristics and biomarkers of SS should be studied to classify patients， so as to design precision evidence-based TCM regimens for SS. On the basis of unique tongue manifestations of SS， models for early diagnosis and poor prognosis identification of SS should also be established to achieve early prevention and treatment and to improve the prognosis. In the future， we should vigorously carry out high-quality evidence-based medical research on the treatment of SS by TCM and integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine and develop relevant guidelines to optimize and standardize current diagnosis and treatment， thereby laying a basis for clarifying and explaining the advantages of TCM in treating SS.
