Objective:To investigate the nutritional risk status of children in PICU and analyze its influencing factors.Methods:From July 2021 to February 2023,all children aged 1 to 18 years admitted to PICU of Beijing Children's Hospital were investigated by using the pediatric Yorkhill Malnutrition Scoring tool(PYMS)and the clinical data questionnaire.Results:A total of 492 children in PICU were enrolled.The first nutritional risk screening results showed that there were 32 cases of no/low nutritional risk(6.5%),76 cases of medium risk(15.4%),and 384 cases of high risk(78.1%).The incidence of medium/high nutritional risk was as high as 93.5%.The PYMS score of nutritional risk in PICU was(2.61±1.42).The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that weight,fever time before admission,white blood cells,body mass index,primary diagnosis,father's education,and diet before illness were the main influencing factors of nutritional risk of children in PICU(P<0.05).Conclusion:Children in PICU are in a state of high nutritional risk.It is suggested that children in PICU should carry out nutritional screening in a standardized manner,identify children with high nutritional risk and its influencing factors early.To actively conduct nutritional assessment and nutritional intervention could improve the clinical outcome of children in PICU.

Gastric cancer is a malignant tumor with high prevalence worldwide and limited therapeutic options.Chimeric antigen receptor T-cell(CAR-T)therapy has emerged as a promising approach for gastric cancer treatment;however,its application faces substantial challenges.This review provides comprehensive summary of the recent advances in CAR-T cell therapy for gastric cancer,systematic analysis of critical break throughs and core challenges from target discovery to clinical translation,and outlining of future perspectives.We describe the criter-ia for ideal target selection and highlight the current research landscape of major targets,including CLDN18.2 that demonstrated efficacy,and targets facing distinct challenges,including HER-2,CEA,EpCAM,and MUC1.This review also finely dissects three central barriers restrict-ing CAR-T cell efficacy,and discusses corresponding countermeasures:overcoming the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment through strategies such as local delivery,armored CAR-T cells,and combination therapies;engineering approaches including affinity modula-tion and logic-gate designs to mitigate on-target/off-tumor toxicity;and optimization of manufacturing processes and reduction of costs via early leukapheresis,rapid production platforms,and universal CAR-T cell strategies.Future multidimensional,integrative,and innovative strategies are pivotal for achieving comprehensive break throughs in CAR-T cell therapy for solid tumors.

[Objectives]To investigate the effect of METTL3 on the malignant biological behaviors of uveal melanoma cells and to verify whether this effect is related to m6A methylation.[Methods]Uveal melanoma cell models with METTL3 knockdown,overexpression,and point mutations at m6A-related catalytic sites were constructed via lentivirus transfection.Transwell assays were used to assess cell migration and invasion;CCK8 assays were used to measure cell proliferation and flow cytometry was used to analyze apoptosis and cycle changes.[Results]The proliferation,migration and invasion abilities of C918 and MUM-2B cells with METTL3 knockdown were significantly decreased(P<0.001),while the apoptosis rate was increased.The proportion of cells in G1 phase significantly increased,whereas the proportion in the S phase significantly decreased.Cells overexpressing METTL3 showed significantly enhanced proliferation,migration and invasion abilities(P<0.001),along with a decreased apoptosis rate.In C918 cells,the proportion of cells in G1 phase decreased significantly,while the proportion in S phase increased significantly.The cell cycle distribution of MUM-2B cells did not change remarkably.Following point mutation of m6A-related catalytic sites,cell proliferation,migration and invasion decreased,and the apoptosis rate increased.In MUM-2B cells,the percentage of cells in G1 phase significantly increased;the percentage in S phase significantly decreased and the percentage in G2 phase slightly decreased.In C918 cells,the percentage of G1 phase cells significantly increased,with no significant changes in the proportions of S and G2 phases.[Conclusions]The proliferation,invasion and metastasis of uveal melanoma cells were positively correlated with the expression of METTL3,while the apoptosis rate was negatively correlated.Changes in METTL3 levels differentially affect the cell cycles in different cell lines.The effects of METTL3 on the proliferation,migration and invasion of uveal melanoma cells are related to m6A methylation modification.

In the pathological process of acute lung injury,uncontrolled inflammatory response will lead to severe consequences,and pyroptosis plays a vital factor in a cell programmed inflammatory necrosis.When the body is imbalanced due to excessive pyroptosis,it can lead to lung injury in the lungs.TCM emphasizes the balance of the body and the balance of yin and yang.Based on the"yin-yang"theory and"pathogenic factors and healthy qi"theory of TCM,this article discussed the yin-yang changes,growth and decline,and opposing constraints of cell pyroptosis in the occurrence and development of acute lung injury at the cellular level,and explained the possible basis of TCM in preventing and treating cell pyroptosis,providing theoretical reference for the intervention of TCM in the prevention and treatment of acute lung injury with cell pyroptosis.

Objective To obtain measurements of fetal four-chamber view and left and right ventricular shapes using two-dimensional speckle tracking,and to explore the clinical quantification of cardiac shape remodeling in small for gestational age(SGA)fetuses.Methods In this study,we prospectively collected data on singleton pregnancies from 28 to 39 weeks that were established in the archives of Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital,Fudan University from May 2020 to Jul 2021.Fetuses eligible for inclusion criteria were randomly matched according to the ratio of estimated fetal weight(EFW)≥10th percentile(P10)∶EFWP90 in the apical segments of the left ventricle was greater in normal UAPI fetuses than that in low-risk fetuses(24.2%vs.14.3%,P=0.005);the SI of left ventricle in UAPI-normal SGA fetuses was greater in segments S1 to S22 than that of right ventricle with statistically significant difference(all P<0.05),while no significant difference was found between the SI of left and right ventricles in segments S23 and S24.Conclusion About one-fourth of SGA fetuses with normal UAPI have abnormally increased apical segments of the left ventricular SI,suggesting that cardiac remodeling with a predominantly"elongated"apical segments of the left ventricle precedes Doppler anomalies.

Hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) are the primary fibrogenic cells in the liver, and their activation plays a crucial role in the development and progression of hepatic fibrosis. Here, we report that retinoid X receptor-alpha (RXRα), a unique member of the nuclear receptor superfamily, is a key modulator of HSC activation and liver fibrosis. RXRα exerts its effects by modulating calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase kinase β (CaMKKβ)-mediated activation of AMP-activated protein kinase-alpha (AMPKα). In addition, we demonstrate that K-80003, which binds RXRα by a unique mechanism, effectively suppresses HSC activation, proliferation, and migration, thereby inhibiting liver fibrosis in the CCl₄ and amylin liver NASH (AMLN) diet animal models. The effect is mediated by AMPKα activation, promoting mitophagy in HSCs. Mechanistically, K-80003 activates AMPKα by inducing RXRα to form condensates with CaMKKβ and AMPKα via a two-phase process. The formation of RXRα condensates is driven by its N-terminal intrinsic disorder region and requires phosphorylation by CaMKKβ. Our results reveal a crucial role of RXRα in liver fibrosis regulation through modulating mitochondrial activities in HSCs. Furthermore, they suggest that K-80003 and related RXRα modulators hold promise as therapeutic agents for fibrosis-related diseases.
