Objective:To explore the clinical and genetic characteristics of X-linked intellectual disability associated with HUWE1 gene variants.Methods:A cases series study retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 6 children with HUWE1 gene variants. The children were identified from the Third Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University, the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University, the First Affiliated Hospital of Henan University of Chinese Medicine, and Guangzhou Women and Children′s Medical Center of Guangzhou Medical University between April 2021 and July 2023.The data included sex, age, dysmorphic features, intellectual and motor development, seizure history, neuroimaging findings, family history, and genetic results was analyzed.Results:A total of 6 children, including 5 boys and 1 girl. The age of onset ranged from 1 day to 3 years. All children presented with varying degrees of intellectual disability, with or without motor developmental delay. Dysmorphic features were observed in 4 children, including microcephaly in 3 children. Short stature were observed in 3 children. One child was diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders and 1 child had seizures. Two boys had relevant maternal family histories of febrile seizures and mild intellectual disability, respectively. Abnormal neuroimaging findings were presented in 4 children, including cerebral dysplasia (1 child), prominent supratentorial ventricles (1 child), and mild white matter demyelination (2 children). Whole-exome sequencing identified 5 missense variants and 1 in-frame deletion variant. Five variants were novel and previously unreported (c.12290C>T, c.12701T>C, c.9875C>T, c.9641A>T and c.10313_10315del). The variants in 4 boys were maternally inherited, while the remaining 2 children had de novo variants. The child with the in-frame deletion variant (c.10313_10315del) presented with the most severe phenotype, exhibiting symptoms from 1 day of age, absent cognitive development, feeding difficulties, and congenital laryngeal chondrodysplasia. He was lost to follow-up at 3 months of age after treatment was withdrawn. The age at the last follow-up for the remaining 5 children ranged from 2 years and 10 months to 17 years. A boy with seizures died at 2 years and 10 months of age. The remaining 4 children were able to walk independently at the last follow-up, although their developmental progress was slow. Conclusions:HUWE1 gene related X-linked intellectual disability is characterized by varying degrees of developmental delay and intellectual disability, frequently accompanied by microcephaly, short stature, and occasionally by seizures and autism spectrum disorders. Missense variants are more common and the in-frame deletion variant appears to be associated with a particularly severe phenotypic presentation.

Objective:To prepare novel targeted lipid nanobubbles（MEB-NBs）that can be loaded with exosomes（Exo），and test the property and explore the specific invitro target-seeking ability of MEB-NBs. Methods:The core lipid nanobubbles（NBs）were prepared using mechanical oscillation methods，and Exo was connected to the NBs through membrane fusion. The target antibody MYH6 was linked to the NBs using a phospholipid coupling covalent method，resulting in the preparation of targeted lipid nanobubbles MEB-NBs loaded with Exo. The morphology，particle size，and surface potential of the prepared lipid nanobubbles MEB-NBs were observed，and the co-loading of Exo and NBs was verified using laser confocal and fluorescence resonance energy transfer techniques. The in vitro imaging capability and biosafety of MEB-NBs were evaluated，and the loading rate and drug content of Exo carried by MEB-NBs were measured. The ability of MEB-NBs to specifically target hiPSC-CMs cells was observed using flow cytometry，small animal in vivo imaging systems，and laser confocal microscopy. Results:The average particle size of the prepared MEB-NBs was（597.10 ± 47.70）nm，the surface potential was（-11.70 ± 0.21）mV，and the concentration was（2.43 ± 0.06）×10 7/ml. Laser confocal microscopy and FRET results confirmed that the Exo was effectively connected with the NBs；When the Exo concentration was 250 μg/ml，the Exo loading rate and drug loading of MEB-NBs were both 73.8%，and the results of laser confocal microscopy showed that MEB-NBs could be effectively targeted to hiPSC-CMs cells. MEB-NBs were well developed in vitro and had good biological safety. Conclusions:This study constructs novel Exo-loaded targeted lipid nanobubbles（MEB-NBs）that demonstrate stable physicochemical properties and ultrasound imaging capabilities. The developed MEB-NBs precisely target hiPSC-CMs cells，providing an innovative drug delivery system with enhanced therapeutic efficacy for Exo-based therapies.

Objective To investigate the clinical features,etiological features and prognosis of patients with hematologic diseases complicated with candidemia for improving clinical diagnosis and treatment.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted for 107 hematological patients complicated with candidemia who were treated in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University,Henan Cancer Hospital,Henan Provincial People's Hospital,or Zhengzhou People's Hospital from June 2022 to May 2024.The clinical data and pathogenic bacteria were analyzed by univariate and multivariate analyses.Results The Candida pathogen of the 107 cases of candidemia were mostly Candida tropicalis(73.8％),followed by Candida parapsilosis,Candida glabrata,and Candida albicans.Antifungal susceptibility testing showed that 43.9％,47.7％,and 48.6％of the Candida strains were resistant voriconazole,fluconazole and itraconazole,respectively.Logistic regression analysis found that disease not in remission(OR=7.795,95％CI:2.274-26.723),septic shock(OR=10.376,95％CI:1.129-95.388),multiple organ dysfunction syndrome(MODS)(OR=9.107,95％CI:1.789-46.361),and inappropriate antifungal treatment(OR=3.422,95％CI:1.153-10.153)were risk factors for 30-day mortality in hematological patients with candidemia.Conclusions Candidemia in patients with hematological diseases is associated with high mortality rate,the major pathogen of which is Candida tropicalis.The Candida isolates showed high resistance rates to azoles.Disease not in remission,septic shock,MODS,and inappropriate antifungal treatment are the risk factors for mortality.

Objective:To analyze the expression of long-chain non-coding RNA U73166 in lung cancer tissues and its relationship with patients′ prognosis, and to explore the effects of silencing U73166 on proliferation and invasion of lung cancer H1299 cells and its regulatory mechanism. Methods:The expression level of U73166 in lung cancer tissues and normal tissues, as well as its correlation with lung cancer patients′ overall survival, were analyzed using the gene expression profiling interactive analysis (GEPIA) database. After culturing, H1299 cells were divided into a control group and a transfection group based on treatment conditions, and were transfected with 25 μmol/L of U73166 negative control and U73166 inhibitor, respectively. The effects of silencing U73166 on the relative expression of U73166 and microRNA-618 ( miR-618) genes in H1299 cells were assessed by real-time reverse transcription-PCR method. A cell counting kit-8 assay was used to evaluate the impact of silencing U73166 on the viability of H1299 cells. A transwell invasion assay was performed to detect the invasive ability of H1299 cells. The Linc2GO database and a dual-luciferase reporter assay were used to predict and verify the binding site between U73166 and miR-618. Western blotting was used to analyze the relative expression of phosphorylated Janus kinase 2 (p-JAK2), phosphorylated signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (p-STAT3), and phosphorylated signal-transducing adaptor molecule 1 (p-STAM1) in the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway to evaluate the effects of silencing U73166 on this pathway in H1299 cells. Data were analyzed by an independent sample t test or one-way analysis of variance. Results:Analysis of the GEPIA database revealed that U73166 relative expression level in lung cancer tissues ( n=383) was significantly higher than that in normal tissues ( n=347) ( P<0.01). The overall survival of lung cancer patients with low U73166 expression [(245±2) months] was longer than that of patients with high U73166 expression [(167±2) months] ( P<0.05). The relative expression of U73166 were 7.81±0.99 in the control group and 1.01±0.26 in the transfection group, respectively, and the relative expression of miR-618 were 1.03±0.20 in the control group and 4.83±1.27 in the transfection group, respectively. Silencing U73166 significantly downregulated its expression ( t=6.66, P<0.01) and upregulated the relative expression of miR-618 ( t=2.96, P<0.01) in H1299 cells. After silencing U73166, the absorbance values of H1299 cells in the transfection group on days 2, 3, 4, and 5 (0.36±0.04, 0.74±0.05, 1.07±0.09, and 1.18±0.10) were significantly lower than those in the control group (0.55±0.03, 1.20±0.08, 1.63±0.07, and 1.90±0.07) ( P<0.05, 0.01). The number of invasive cells in the control and transfection groups were 52.03±6.08 and 19.92±3.78, respectively. There were significantly fewer invasive cells in the transfection group ( t=4.49, P<0.01). After transfection with wild-type U73166, the relative luciferase activity in the miR-618 group (0.32±0.05) was significantly lower than that in the miR-negtive control group (0.96±0.15) ( t=4.02, P<0.01). However, after transfection with mutant U73166, there was no statistically significant difference in relative luciferase activity between the miR-618 group (1.01±0.15) and the miR-negtive control group (1.03±0.11) ( t=0.09, P>0.05). The relative expression of p-JAK2, p-STAT3, and p-STAM1 proteins in the transfection group were 2.08±0.21, 1.36±0.20, and 0.55±0.12, respectively. These values were significantly lower than those in the control group (3.72?±?0.29, 5.56?±?0.19, and 4.38±0.17) (all P<0.01). Conclusions:U73166 is highly expressed in lung cancer tissues and lung cancer cells, and its expression is related to lung cancer patients′ overall survival. Silencing U73166 can target miR-618, which inhibits the proliferation and invasion of H1299 cells.

Cardiac fibrosis is characterized by an elevated amount of extracellular matrix (ECM) within the heart. However, the persistence of cardiac fibrosis ultimately diminishes contractility and precipitates cardiac dysfunction. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are emerging as important regulators of cardiac fibrosis. Here, we elucidate the functional role of a specific circular RNA CELF1 in cardiac fibrosis and delineate a novel feedback loop mechanism. Functionally, circ-CELF1 was involved in enhancing fibrosis-related markers' expression and promoting the proliferation of cardiac fibroblasts (CFs), thereby exacerbating cardiac fibrosis. Mechanistically, circ-CELF1 reduced the ubiquitination-degradation rate of BRPF3, leading to an elevation of BRPF3 protein levels. Additionally, BRPF3 acted as a modular scaffold for the recruitment of histone acetyltransferase KAT7 to facilitate the induction of H3K14 acetylation within the promoters of the Celf1 gene. Thus, the transcription of Celf1 was dramatically activated, thereby inhibiting the subsequent response of their downstream target gene Smad7 expression to promote cardiac fibrosis. Moreover, Celf1 further promoted Celf1 pre-mRNA transcription and back-splicing, thereby establishing a feedback loop for circ-CELF1 production. Consequently, a novel feedback loop involving CELF1/circ-CELF1/BRPF3/KAT7 was established, suggesting that circ-CELF1 may serve as a potential novel therapeutic target for cardiac fibrosis.

Objective To evaluate the clinical value of a modified Cancer and Aging Research Group(CARG)model in guiding anticancer drug dose adjustments for elderly cancer patients in China.Methods This prospective study enrolled patients aged≥65 years with solid tumors at the Department of Oncology,Peking Union Medical College Hospital from September 1,2022 to October 29,2023.All patients underwent comprehensive geriatric assessment(CGA)and CARG risk scoring,and were stratified into low-,intermediate-,and high-risk groups.Anti-cancer drug doses(including chemotherapy,targeted therapy or immunotherapy)were reduced proportionally based on CARG risk stratification and treatment intent(curative vs.palliative).Treatment outcomes and adverse events(AEs)were recorded regularly.Fisher's Exact Test compared AE incidence between the CARG-guided dose adjust-ment group(experimental)and the physician-experience-guided dose adjustment group(control).Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve analysis was used to assess the predictive value of the CARG model for severe toxicity.Results Among 166 enrolled patients(median age:71 years[range:65-90];78.3%were male;68.7%had gastro-intestinal cancers;69.3%had stageⅣ),95 were assigned to the experimental group(CARG low-risk:24[25.3%],intermediate-risk:51[53.7%],high-risk:20[21.0%])and 71 were included into the control group.By December 31,2024,81 patients experienced disease progression and 10 patients died.Overall AE rates was 92.6%in the ex-perimental group and 94.4%in the control group,while grade≥3 AEs were recorded in 45.3%vs.43.7%,respec-tively(both P＞0.05).Conclusions The modified CARG model-guided dose adjustment strategy achieved comparable safety to empirical dose adjustment,which is in line with the individualized treatment paradigm for elderly cancer pa-tients,representing a structured framework for optimizing therapeutic decision-making in geriatric oncology.
