[摘 要] 自2017年以来,已有12款嵌合抗原受体基因修饰T淋巴细胞(CAR-T细胞)产品相继被批准用于血液系统恶性肿瘤的治疗,包括复发性/难治性急性B淋巴细胞白血病、特定亚型B细胞淋巴瘤和多发性骨髓瘤。然而,CAR-T细胞疗法在应用过程中面临诸多挑战,如在治疗血液系统肿瘤中的抵抗、生产周期长、个体化/价格昂贵,在实体瘤中的肿瘤异质性强/抗原逃逸、浸润能力不足、免疫抑制微环境和反应性差等问题。随着肿瘤免疫学研究的深入和基因工程技术的发展,尝试了众多新策略来提升CAR-T细胞疗法的疗效和普适性。作者根据自身对该领域研究的认知,针对CAR-T细胞疗法的临床关键问题及其应对解决策略进行述评,为未来CAR-T细胞疗法的基础研究和临床转化提供重要思路。

Background:
and Purpose Limited evidence exists on the effectiveness of endovascular treatment (EVT) for acute posterior circulation tandem lesion (PCTL). This study aimed to explore the role of extracranial vertebral artery (VA) stenting in patients with PCTL stroke undergoing EVT.
Methods:
Individual patient data were pooled from the BASILAR (EVT for Acute Basilar Artery Occlusion Study) and PERSIST (Posterior Circulation Ischemic Stroke) registries. Patients with PCTLs who underwent EVT were included in the present cohort and divided into the stenting and nonstenting groups based on the placement of extracranial VA stents. The primary efficacy outcome was the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) scores at 90 days and 1 year. Safety outcomes included 24-hour symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH) and all-cause mortality at 90 days and 1 year post-surgery.
Results:
A combined dataset of 1,320 patients with posterior circulation artery occlusion, including 263 (19.9%) with tandem lesions, of whom 217 (median age, 65 years; 82.9% male) met the inclusion criteria for the analysis. The stenting group had 84 (38.7%) patients, while the non-stenting group had 133 (61.3%). After adjustment for the potential confounders, extracranial VA stenting was associated with favorable shifts in mRS scores at both 90 days (adjusted common odds ratio [OR], 2.30; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.23–4.28; P<0.01) and 1 year (adjusted OR [aOR], 2.04; 95% CI [1.05–3.97]; P=0.04), along with lower rate of mortality at both 90 days (aOR, 0.45; 95% CI [0.21–0.93]; P=0.01) and 1 year (aOR, 0.36; 95% CI [0.16–0.79]; P=0.01), with no significant difference in sICH incidence (aOR, 0.35; 95% CI [0.06–1.98]; P=0.24).
Conclusion
Extracranial VA stenting during EVT may improve functional outcomes and reduce mortality in patients with PCTL strokes.

Metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) is a common chronic liver disease with the pathological feature of lipid accumulation in the liver, and it is closely associated with liver metabolic disorders. The latest research has shown that the pathogenesis of MAFLD is associated with the abnormal expression of specific genes, especially the fat mass and obesity-associated (FTO) gene. The abnormal activity of the FTO gene may lead to an imbalance in liver lipid metabolism, which manifests as the increase in fatty acid synthesis and the reduction in fatty acid oxidation, thereby promoting liver fat deposition and inflammatory response. Therefore, regulating the expression or activity of the FTO gene is considered one of the potential strategies for the treatment of MAFLD. At present, drug research targeting the function of the FTO gene has achieved preliminary results, and inhibition of the activity of the FTO gene can help to regulate liver lipid metabolism and alleviate liver inflammatory injury. This article reviews the mechanism of action of the FTO gene in the development and progression of MAFLD, summarizes the advances in drug research on the FTO gene and related metabolic pathways in recent years, and analyzes their application prospect in research and treatment.

ObjectiveTo investigate the current status and development needs of evidence-based medicine (EBM) capability in ethnic minority medicine, and explore effective strategies to enhance EBM capability in this field. MethodsThe questionnaire survey was conducted in various ethnic minority medical institutions and research organisations. The questionnaire covered three dimensions, firstly, perceptions and attitudes towards evidence-based medicine; secondly, advantages and challenges in the development of ethnic minority medicine; thirdly, demands and recommendations for enhancing evidence-based medicine capability in ethnic minority medicine. ResultsA total of 501 valid questionnaires were collected, of which 103 questionnaires were collected by re-sending to minority medicine regions with insufficient participation. The questionnaires included 354 responses (70.66%) from practitioners of minority medicine, including Tibetan medicine, Mongolian medicine, Uyghur medicine, Zhuang medicine, and Korean medicine. Among the 501 questionnaires, 146 respondents (29.14%) indicated that they knew about EBM, 355 respondents (70.86%) had either a "general understanding" or had "not heard about" EBM before, and 469 respondents (93.61%) believed that introducing ECM could promote the development of ethnic minority medicine. The primary challenge in promoting EBM in the field of ethnic minority medicine is the lack of professionals in EBM and a lack of understanding of how to apply it into clinical practice (442 respondents, 88.22%). In the 9-point importance rating for enhancing evidence-based abilities, high scores were achieved in standardization of clinical practice guidelines (7.50±1.90) and methods for sample sizes in clinical research (7.45±1.90). Regarding the demand for improving clinical research literacy, expert academic lectures, and experience sharing (404 respondents, 80.64%) and evidence-based methodology monographs on ethnic minority medicine (401 respondents, 80.04%) were emphasized. ConclusionsPractitioners in ethnic minority medicine hold a positive attitude towards integrating EBM. However, there remains substantial room for the education and dissemination of EBM. Enhancing evidence-based capabilities can be achieved through specific measures such as cultivating or recruiting talents in EBM, establishing evidence-based support platforms for clinical research, organizing regular academic lectures and exchanges, and strengthening the construction of theoretical frameworks and evaluation systems tailored to ethnic minority medicine, thereby following a path of evidence-based practices aligned with the unique characteristics of ethnic minority medicine.

Objective:
To investigate the symptoms of depression and anxiety and their influencing factors in adolescents undergoing facial scar plasty, so as to provide insights into psychological interventions among them.
Methods:
The patients with facial scars who were 14 to 25 years old and admitted to the Department of Plastic Surgery, Hospital of Dermatology Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College were selected. General information and scar condition were collected through questionnaire surveys. Symptoms of depression and anxiety were assessed using the Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS) and Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS). The patients who scored 50 points and over in both SDS and SAS were identified as having depression and anxiety symptoms. Factors affecting depression and anxiety symptoms were identified using a multivariable logistic regression model.
Results:
A total of 108 adolescents undergoing facial scar plasty were surveyed, with a mean age of (19.16±2.03) years. There were 50 boys (46.30%) and 58 girls (53.70%). Depression and anxiety symptoms were detected in 62 cases, accounting for 57.41%. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that girls (OR=1.547, 95%CI: 1.072-2.231), unhealthy diet (OR=1.428, 95%CI: 1.120-1.820), high scores of pain (OR=1.677, 95%CI: 1.120-2.511) and high scores of scar severity (OR=1.629, 95%CI: 1.112-2.387) were associated with increased risks of depression and anxiety symptoms in adolescents undergoing facial scar plasty, while high scores of social support (OR=0.569, 95%CI: 0.348-0.931) and high scores of resilience (OR=0.465, 95%CI: 0.252-0.858) were associated with decreased risks.
Conclusion
Depression and anxiety symptoms are relatively prevalent in adolescents undergoing facial scar plasty, and are influenced by gender, diet, pain degree, scar severity, social support and resilience.
