Immunotherapy has emerged as a revolutionary approach to treat immune-related diseases. Dendritic cells (DCs) play a pivotal role in orchestrating immune responses, making them an attractive target for immunotherapeutic interventions. Modulation of gene expression in DCs using genome editing techniques, such as the CRISPR-Cas system, is important for regulating DC functions. However, the precise delivery of CRISPR-based therapies to DCs has posed a significant challenge. While lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) have been extensively studied for gene editing in tumor cells, their potential application in DCs has remained relatively unexplored. This study investigates the important role of cholesterol in regulating the efficiency of BAMEA-O16B lipid-assisted nanoparticles (BLANs) as carriers of CRISPR/Cas9 for gene editing in DCs. Remarkably, BLANs with low cholesterol density exhibit exceptional mRNA uptake, improved endosomal escape, and efficient single-guide RNA release capabilities. Administration of BLAN_mCas9/gPD-L1 results in substantial PD-L1 gene knockout in conventional dendritic cells (cDCs), accompanied by heightened cDC1 activation, T cell stimulation, and significant suppression of tumor growth. The study underscores the pivotal role of cholesterol density within LNPs, revealing potent influence on gene editing efficacy within DCs. This strategy holds immense promise for the field of cancer immunotherapy, offering a novel avenue for treating immune-related diseases.

Objective: To explore the association between negative life events and smartphone addiction among middle school students, so as to provide theoretical support and practical guidance for prevention and intervention of smartphone addiction among middle school students. Methods: Using cluster sampling, 8 890 students were selected to survey from 27 junior high schools and 3 senior high schools in a district of Shenzhen in 2022 (baseline) and 2023 (followup). Data were collected through selfresigned questionnaires on basic information, the Smartphone Addiction Scale-Short Version, and the Adolescent Selfrating Life Events Checklist. Mixedeffects models were employed to analyze the association. Results: Compared to 2022, the punishment scores of middle school students in 2023 [1.00 (0.00, 6.00) and 1.00 (0.00, 6.00)] decreased (Z=4.27), while the scores of interpersonal stress, learning stress and adaptation [4.00(0.00, 8.00), 4.00(0.00, 8.00); 4.00(1.00, 8.00), 5.00(2.00, 9.00); 2.00 (0.00, 6.00), 3.00 (0.00, 7.00)] increased (Z=-3.04, -8.36, -6.80) (P<0.01). Mixedeffects models revealed a positive doseresponse relationship between negative life events and smartphone addiction (OR=1.08-1.17, P<0.01). Stepwise regression showed independent positive effects of interpersonal stress (OR=1.05), academic stress (OR=1.03), and adaptation stress (OR=1.11) on smartphone addiction (P<0.01). Subgroup analysis of nonaddicted students in 2022 confirmed persistent associations for academic stress (OR=1.03) and adaptation (OR=1.07) (P<0.01). Conclusion Negative life events exhibit a positive doseresponse relationship with smartphone addiction, particularly interpersonal stress, academic stress, and adaptationrelated events.

Objective: To explore the longitudinal association between only-child status and smartphone addiction among middle school students, so as to provide a basis for establishing family intervention measures for smartphone addiction in middle school students. Methods: In October 2022 and October 2023, a preliminary survey and follow-up were conducted among 8 759 middle and high school students from 30 schools in a district of Shenzhen. A self-designed questionnaire was used to determine whether the students were the only-child, and the Chinese Version of the Smartphone Addiction Scale-Short Version (C-SAS-SV) was utilized to assess the students smartphone addiction status. A multilevel mixed-effects model and subgroup analysis were applied to examine the association between only-child status and smartphone addiction among middle school students. Results: During 2022 to 2023, the prevalence of smartphone addiction in the cohort of middle school students increased from 24.1% to 25.2%. Compared with only-child, non-only child were more likely to be addicted to smartphones (adjusted model: OR =1.2, 95% CI =1.1-1.4) and also scored higher on smartphone addiction (adjusted model: β =0.9, 95% CI =0.2-1.5)( P <0.05). Subgroup analysis further revealed that compared to baseline, non-only child demonstrated an increased prevalence of smartphone addiction (adjusted model: OR = 1.2 , 95% CI =1.0-1.5) and higher addiction scores (adjusted model: β =0.8, 95% CI =0.2-1.5) after one year( P <0.05). Conclusions Non-only child face higher risk of smartphone addiction. Under the current population policy, it is crucial to address smartphone addiction among middle school students who is not only child.

Objective: To explore the potential causal association between adolescent compulsive behaviour and smartphone addiction based on longitudinal data, so as to provide reference for the establishment of adolescent smartphone addiction interventions. Methods: A preliminary survey and follow-up were conducted on 8 907 middle and high school students in a district of Shenzhen in 2022 and 2023, respectively. Compulsive behaviours were measured by using the Mental Health Inventory for Middle School Students-60 Items (MMHI-60), smartphone addiction was assessed by using the Smartphone Addiction Scale-Short Version ( SAS- SV), and the associations between compulsive behaviours and smartphone addiction were analysed by using multilevel mixed-effects models and subgroup analyses. Results: Smartphone addiction detection rates among middle school students were significantly associated with genders, father s education level, mother s education level, study load subgroups, and whether or not they were single-parent families, and there were statistical differences ( χ 2=17.21-175.34, P <0.05). Students with compulsive behaviours were 2.98 times more likely to develop smartphone addiction than those without compulsive behaviours ( OR=2.98, 95%CI=2.77-3.22, P <0.05). Subgroup analysis of middle school students without smartphone addiction in the first year found that compulsive behaviours significantly predicted smartphone addiction ( OR= 1.76 , 95%CI=1.54-2.01, P <0.05). Conclusion There is a potential causal association between obsessive-compulsive behaviours and smartphone addiction in middle school students, and obsessive-compulsive behaviours in middle school students could significantly predicted the occurrence of smartphone addiction.

Objective To investigate the effects of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation(TENS)combined with mobilization with movement(MWM)on clinical efficacy,musculoskeletal ultrasound findings and bone metabolism indicators in patients with knee osteoarthritis(KOA).Methods Ninety KOA patients were collected and randomly divided into the control group(conventional rehabilitation+TENS,n=45)and the observation group(conventional rehabilitation+TENS+MWM,n=45)using a random number table.Clinical efficacy,knee joint function,musculoskeletal ultrasound indices and bone metabolism indices were compared between the two groups.Results The clinical efficacy of the observation group was superior to that of the control group(P＜0.05).At 2 and 6 months post-treatment,Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index(WOMAC)were significantly lower in the observation group than those of the control group,and Lysholm Knee Scoring Scale scores were higher in the observation group than those of the control group(P＜0.05).Additionally,articular cartilage thickness,bone gla protein(BGP)and bone-specific alkaline phosphatase(BALP)were higher in the observation group than those of the control group,and synovial thickness,suprapatellar effusion and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase 5b(TRACP-5b)were lower in the observation group than those of the control group(P＜0.05).Conclusion TENS combined with MWM in the treatment of KOA patients can not only improve knee joint function but also optimize musculoskeletal ultrasound indices and regulate bone metabolism indices.

Objective:To investigate and analyze the current status of dietary behavior compliance among patients following bariatric metabolic surgery, as well as its associated influencing factors.Methods:A convenience sampling approach was employed to select 149 discharged patients who underwent bariatric metabolic surgery at the Gastric Surgery Department of a tertiary hospital in Fuzhou between August 2021 and February 2024. A WeChat communication group was established for survey participants, and a questionnaire survey was conducted via the mobile app "Wenjuanxing." Patients′ data were collected using the General Information Questionnaire and the Dietary Behavior Compliance Scale for Patients After Bariatric Metabolic Surgery. Multiple stepwise linear regression analysis was used to evaluate the influencing factors of dietary behavior compliance in postoperative patients.Results:A total of 165 questionnaires were distributed, with 149 valid responses retrieved. Among the 149 post-bariatric surgery patients, 37 were males and 112 were females, with an average age of (31.10 ± 7.26) years. The overall level of dietary behavior compliance was (56.91 ± 9.70). Significant differences in dietary behavior compliance were observed among patients of different genders, educational levels, drinking habits, and postoperative durations ( t = 2.17, 1.93, F = 4.27, 3.50, all P<0.05). Specifically, postoperative duration emerged as the primary factor influencing dietary behavior compliance following bariatric metabolic surgery ( t = -2.22, P<0.05). Conclusions:Female patients, those with a college degree or higher, and individuals within 0 to 6 months post-surgery demonstrated better dietary behavior compliance. Medical staff should comprehensively consider patient individual differences, develop, and implement personalized health education plans to enhance patient dietary behavior compliance.
