Modulating Tankyrases (TNKS), interactions with USP25 to promote TNKS degradation, rather than inhibiting their enzymatic activities, is emerging as an alternative/specific approach to inhibit the Wnt/β-catenin pathway. Here, we identified UAT-B, a novel neoantimycin analog isolated from Streptomyces conglobatus, as a small-molecule inhibitor of TNKS-USP25 protein-protein interaction (PPI) to overcome multi-drug resistance in colorectal cancer (CRC). The disruption of TNKS-USP25 complex formation by UAT-B led to a significant decrease in TNKS levels, triggering cell apoptosis through modulation of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway. Importantly, UAT-B successfully inhibited the CRC cells growth that harbored high TNKS levels, as demonstrated in various in vitro and in vivo studies utilizing cell line-based and patient-derived xenografts, as well as APC^min/+ spontaneous CRC models. Collectively, these findings suggest that targeting the TNKS-USP25 PPI using a small-molecule inhibitor represents a compelling therapeutic strategy for CRC treatment, and UAT-B emerges as a promising candidate for further preclinical and clinical investigations.

Objective To investigate the predictive value of inflammatory cells and clinical features in the prognosis of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) treating non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).Methods The data of 163 cases of stage Ⅲ and Ⅳ NSCLC patients treated with the ICIs in this hospital from January 1,2017 to December 31,2022 were collected.The CT examination was conducted after 6-8 weeks treatment.The pa-tients were divided into the objective remission group[complete remission (CR)+partial remission (PR)]and non-objective remission group[stable disease (SD)+progressed disease (PD)],disease control group (CR+PR+SD) and non-disease control group (PD),persistent clinical benefit group (DCB) and non-DCB group.The differences in clinical features and inflammatory cells indicators were compared among the differ-ent groups.The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was adopted to evaluate the predictive efficiency of the inflammatory cells indicators for DCB.The influencing factors analysis of progression free survival (PFS) time and overall survival (OS) time adopted the Cox regression analysis.Results The lymphocyte count (ALC) in the disease control group was higher than that in the non-disease control group.The neutro-phil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR),platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and mononuclear lymphocyte ratio (MLR) were lower than those in the non-disease control group.The proportions of squamous cell carcinoma,stage Ⅲ,ECOG score 0-1 point,adverse reactions in the DCB group were higher than those in the non-DCB group (P<0.05),the PLT count,NLR,PLR and MLR were lower than those in the non-DCB group (P<0.05). The ROC curve analysis results showed that PLT,NLR,PLR and MLR could serve as the indicators for pre-dicting DCB,the area under of ROC curve (AUC) was 0.633,0.602,0.635 and 0.604 respectively,the opti-mal cut off values were 187×109/L (P=0.004),5.0 (P=0.026),235 (P=0.003) and 0.35 (P=0.024) re-spectively.The multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that non-squamous carcinoma including adenocar-cinoma (HR=1.565,95％CI:1.057-2.316) and other pathologic types (HR=2.285,95％CI:1.326-3.936),ECOG score 2-3 points (HR=2.375,95％CI:1.652-3.415),AMC≥0.65×109/L (HR=1.847,95％CI:1.160-2.938) and PLR≥235 (HR=1.557,95％CI:1.016-2.386) were the independent risk factors for short PFS.The ECOG score 2-3 points (HR=4.615,95％CI:2.882-7.391),AMC≥0.65×109/L (HR=5.161,95％CI:2.984-8.925) and PLR ≥235 (HR=1.732,95％CI:1.059-2.833) were the independent risk fac-tors for short OS (P<0.05),and having adverse reactions (HR=0.472,95％CI:0.294-0.757) was the independ-ent protective factor for short OS (P<0.05).Conclusion Lower PLT,AMC,NLR,MLR and PLR,higher ALC,squamous cell carcinoma,TNM stage Ⅲ,ECOG score 0-1 point and immunotherapy related adverse reactions could prompt that the prognosis is good in ICIs treating advanced NSCLC.PLT,NLR,PLR and MLR could serve as the indicators for predicting DCB.

Objective:To investigate the clinical value of multiparameteric quantitative ultrasound combined with a non-invasive prediction model for assessing high-risk steatohepatitis.Methods:One hundred and ninety-four cases with metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) who underwent liver biopsy in Huashan Hospital, Fudan University, from June 2021 to September 2022 were selected. Shear wave elastography (SWE), shear wave dispersion (SWD) imaging, and attenuation imaging (ATI) examinations were conducted in all patients before biopsy. High-risk steatohepatitis was defined as a total activity score of ≥4 in patients with steatohepatitis, hepatocellular ballooning, and liver lobular inflammation based on pathological hepatic steatosis, inflammatory activity, and fibrosis scoring system (SAF), and fibrosis stage≥F2. Binary logistic regression analysis was used to identify the factors influencing high-risk steatohepatitis. A predictive model for diagnosing high-risk steatohepatitis was constructed using R language. The DeLong test was used to compare the area under the curve between groups. Measurement data was compared between groups using the t-test or rank-sum test, and count data were compared between groups using the χ2 test. Results:There were 46 cases (23.7%) with high-risk steatohepatitis. The quantitative ultrasound parameters included elastic modulus ( OR=2.958, 95% CI: 1.889-4.883, P<0.001), dispersion coefficient ( OR=1.786, 95% CI: 1.424-2.292, P<0.001) and attenuation coefficient ( OR=42.642, 95% CI: 3.463-640.451, P=0.004). Serological indexes of fasting blood glucose ( OR=1.196, 95% CI: 1.048-1.392, P=0.011), alanine aminotransferase ( OR=1.012, 95% CI: 1.006-1.019, P<0.001), aspartate aminotransferase ( OR=1.027, 95% CI: 1.014-1.042, P<0.001), γ-glutamyl transferase ( OR=1.008, 95% CI: 1.001-1.017, P=0.041) and HDL cholesterol ( OR=0.087, 95% CI: 0.016-0.404, P=0.003) were the factors influencing its progression. The AUCs of elastic modulus, dispersion coefficient, attenuation coefficient, multiparametric ultrasound model, serological index model, and ultrasound combined with serology model for the diagnosis of high-risk steatohepatitis were 0.764, 0.758, 0.634, 0.786, 0.773 and 0.825, respectively. The results of the DeLong test showed that the ultrasound combined with the serological model was significantly better than the serological index model and the elastic modulus, dispersion coefficient, and attenuation coefficient alone ( P=0.024, 0.027, 0.038 and <0.001). Conclusion:The combination of multiparametric quantitative ultrasound is helpful for the non-invasive diagnosis of high-risk steatohepatitis and possesses great clinical significance.

Objective:To comprehensively and systematically retrieve domestic and international research on nurse-initiated protocolized weaning in adult mechanically ventilated patients, clarify its outcome indicators and effectiveness in clinical practice, and identify influencing factors in its implementation.Methods:Employing the scoping review methodology of Arksey and O'Malley, databases in both English and Chinese were systematically searched. Literature was selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, with two researchers independently screening, organizing, and analyzing the articles.Results:Eighteen publications were included: seven interventional studies, four qualitative studies, two cross-sectional studies, two on instrument development, and three reviews. Nurse-initiated protocolized weaning was found to be safe and effective, with common clinical outcome indicators including mechanical ventilation duration, weaning time, and ICU length of stay. Significant barriers included the professional knowledge level of nurses, team cooperation, nurses' personal characteristics, and the healthcare providers' underestimation of patients' clinical symptoms. Continuous care, patient involvement, a supportive nursing culture, and recognition of the nurse's role were facilitators of this treatment.Conclusions:Future research efforts should standardize and refine the intervention measures of nurse-initiated protocolized weaning and conduct large-sample, high-quality studies to provide references for the implementation of nurse-initiated protocolized weaning in China.

Objective To observe the optimal target areas for shear wave velocity(SWV)evaluation on stages of chronic kidney disease(CKD)in different sides(left,right),different parts(upper pole,middle part and lower pole)and different tissue(renal cortex,renal medulla,renal sinus)of kidney.Methods Sixty-five CKD patients(130 kidneys)were retrospectively collected.SWV were compared between different sides,among different parts and tissue of kidney.The optimal regions for evaluating CKD stages were screened.Results No significant difference of SWV was found between left and right kidneys in same parts for same tissue(all P＞0.05),while significant differences of SWV of the same tissue were noticed among upper pole,middle part and lower part of kidney on the same side(all P＜0.05),i.e at upper pole＞at middle part＞at lower pole.Significant differences of SWV were also observed among renal cortex,medulla and sinus of kidney in the same side and parts(all P＜0.05),and the sinus had the highest SWV.Intraclass correlation coefficient analysis showed that the repeatability of the measurements of SWV was the best at the middle part of kidney.Besides,significant differences of SWV were found between renal cortex and medulla at the middle part of kidney among patients with stages 1,2,3 and 4-5 CKD(all P＜0.05),while the highest SWV were observed in patients with 4-5 stage CKD(all P＜0.05).SWV of renal cortex and medulla at middle part were positively correlated with CKD stages(both P＜0.01),the area under the curve of them for evaluating stage of CKD was 0.802 and 0.774,respectively.Conclusion The optimal target areas for SWV evaluation on stages of CKD were renal cortex and medulla at middle part of kidney.

Objective:To identify factors influencing orthostatic intolerance (OI) in patients during initial ambulation following minimally invasive lung surgery and develop and validate a risk prediction model to assist clinical practitioners in screening high-risk patients.Methods:Totally 1 000 patients who underwent minimally invasive lung surgery at the Department of Thoracic Surgery of Peking University Third Hospital from March 2022 to November 2023 were recruited by convenience sampling. Patients were randomly divided into a modeling group ( n=800) and an internal validation group ( n=200) in an 8∶2 ratio. Univariate analysis and logistic regression were applied to determine risk factors for OI in the modeling group. R software was utilized to construct a nomogram model. The model's predictive performance was assessed using the area under the ROC curve ( AUC) for both the modeling and validation groups. Calibration curves were plotted to evaluate consistency, and the Hosmer-Lemeshow test was conducted to confirm model fit. Results:The incidence of OI during initial ambulation was 37.2% (372/1 000). Logistic regression identified BMI, postoperative day 1 drainage volume, postoperative use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and initial ambulation pain score as independent risk factors for OI ( P<0.05). The AUC for the nomogram model in the modeling group was 0.645, and 0.694 in the validation group, indicating good predictive accuracy. Calibration curves showed strong agreement between predicted and observed outcomes ( P>0.05) . Conclusions:The constructed risk prediction model demonstrates good predictive ability for OI risk during initial ambulation following minimally invasive lung surgery, which can support clinical identification of high-risk patients. This tool may provide valuable guidance for implementing early, targeted preventive measures.

Standardization is the universal language of the world, and standardization of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is essential for its communication in China and globally. However, the principles and methods of TCM acupuncture standardization have been unclear and inadequate in the early stages. Based on an investigative approach to understanding the current status, identifying problems, and finding solutions, our team has established basic principles of TCM acupuncture that embody Chinese wisdom, evaluated the international strategic environment systematically, proposed the principle of “importance of harmony and exercise of impartiality”, and established basic working principles. A series of methods for TCM acupuncture standard development and evaluation have been constructed, including general standards for the revision of TCM acupuncture standards, the first TCM acupuncture clinical research management specification, a shared full chain technology platform, a data center, and an evaluation research base for TCM acupuncture clinical research. Evaluation criteria for ancient literature and expert experience, a recommendation method for the “three main and three auxiliaries” TCM guideline for prevention were established, and quantifiable assessment methods of TCM standard applicability were proposed. These findings provide methodological guidance for TCM acupuncture standardization.
