Objective: To construct an evaluation index system of cervical cancer prevention and control literacy, so as to provide an assessment tool for cervical cancer prevention and control literacy. Methods: The preliminary framework for cervical cancer prevention and control literacy was designed based on literature review. Twenty-one experts with both theoretical and practical experience in cervical cancer prevention and control were invited to participate in two rounds of Delphi consultation. The weights of indicators were determined by the percentage weighting method and product method, and the response rate, authority level, opinion concentration degree, and coordination degree of experts were evaluated. Results: Twenty-one experts participated in the consultation, including 3 males and 18 females. There were 11 experts with a doctor's degree, 7 with a master's degree and 3 with a bachelor's degree. All of them had senior professional titles and had more than 10 years of working experience. The recovery rates of the two rounds of consultations were 100.00% and 95.24%, the authority coefficients were 0.963 and 0.948, and Kendall's coefficients of concordance were 0.175 and 0.148 (both P<0.05), respectively. The final cervical cancer prevention and control literacy evaluation index system included 3 primary indicators (basic knowledge and concepts: 0.334; healthy lifestyle and behaviors: 0.338; basic skills: 0.328), 12 secondary indicators, with "capability to accurately acquire, comprehend, evaluate and apply health information" having the highest weight (0.166), and 51 tertiary indicators, with "HPV vaccination" (0.086), "consulting on relevant issues" (0.082), and "expressing personal perspectives" (0.080) having relatively higher weights. Conclusion The evaluation index system of cervical cancer prevention and control literacy serves as a valid assessment tool for women of appropriate age, providing the reference for developing targeted health education to enhance cervical cancer prevention and control literacy.

Eight new diterpenoids, Isodons A-H (1-8), comprising seco-abietane and abietane-type structures, together with 13 known analogues (9-21), were isolated from Isodon lophanthoides (Buch.-Ham. ex D. Don) Hara. The compounds (+)-3/(-)-3, (+)-4/(-)-4, and (+)-5/(-)-5 were identified as three enantiomeric pairs. The planar structures and absolute configurations of 1-8 were determined through high-resolution electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (HR-ESI-MS), 1D & 2D nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculations, and X-ray diffraction crystallography. A cholesterol 7α-hydroxylase (Cyp7a1) luciferase reporter assay revealed significant anti-cholestatic activities for compounds 1, (+)-4, 6, 7, 12-14, and 16. Additionally, compound 6 demonstrated anti-cholestatic effects through the farnesoid X receptor (FXR)-associated signaling pathways in vitro and in vivo. These findings suggest potential applications for I. Lophanthoides in pharmaceutical development.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of CD30 antibody-drug conjugates (ADC) brentuximab vedotin (BV) combined with chemotherapy in children with refractory or relapsed classic Hodgkin′s lymphoma (R/R cHL).Methods:Clinical data (including age, gender, B symptoms, clinical stage, previous treatment, etc.) of the 10 R/R cHL children diagnosed and treated at Beijing Children′s Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University from October 2021 to August 2023 were analyzed retrospectively. According to the different intensity of chemotherapy drugs, the dose of BV applied in the same course of treatment was 1.8 mg/kg for BV applied once every 3 weeks, and 1.2 mg/kg for BV applied once every 2 weeks. All 10 patients received at least 2 cycles of BV combined with chemotherapy and were evaluated every 2 cycles. The patients were followed up until May 31, 2024. The infusion reactions and adverse reactions after treatment were recorded.Results:In all 10 patients, there were 7 males and 3 females, the age ranged from 5.3-16.9 years, and there were 6 cases of refractory and 4 cases of relapsed. There were 6 cases of nodular sclerosis type, 2 cases of mixed cell type, 1 case of lymphocyte-rich type, and 1 case of lymphodepletion type. There were 5 cases of stage Ⅳ and 5 cases of stage Ⅲ. Previous treatment was mainly chemotherapy, 4 cases received radiotherapy and 1 case received programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) antibody therapy. The follow-up time ranged from 9 to 27 months. A total of 43 courses with 49 doses of BV alone or combined with chemotherapy were recorded, and the number of courses was 2 to 10 times. All 10 children responded to the treatment, and 9 achieved complete remission. BV infusion was successfully completed in all cases. A total of 28 cases of grade 3 or above adverse events were recorded, mainly myelosuppression, all of which were related to chemotherapy and did not affect sequential treatment.Conclusion:Brentuximab vedotin has demonstrated efficacy and a tolerable safety profile in the treatment of refractory and relapsed CD30-positive Hodgkin′s lymphoma in children.

Objective:To screen differentially expressed circular RNA (circRNA) in rat articular chondrocyte injury induced by T-2 toxin, and explore the mechanism of cartilage injury.Methods:Twenty-four SD rats (males, body weight 60 - 80 g) were randomly divided into T-2 toxin group (administrated T-2 toxin 100 ng·g -1·d -1 by gavage) and control group (administrated equal amounts of deionized water by gavage) using a random number table method, 12 rats in each group. After 4 weeks of intervention, the articular cartilage was collected for transcriptome sequencing. Deseq2 software [ P < 0.05 and |log 2(fold change)| > 1, fold change was the multiple of differential expression] was used to identify differentially expressed circRNA. Based on the competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNA) hypothesis, the miRanda software was used to predict the microRNA (miRNA, miR) binding sites of differentially expressed circRNA, and Cytoscape 3.10.0 software was used to plot the circRNA-miRNA interaction network. MiRWalk 3.0, MiRDB, and miRTarBase softwares were used to predict downstream target genes, and Cytoscape 3.10.0 software was used to map the circRNA-miRNA-mRNA interaction network. Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) were used to analyze the biological functions and enrichment pathways of target genes. Results:A total of 19 differentially expressed circRNAs were screened (including 10 upregulated and 9 downregulated). A total of 1 320 miRNAs binding sites and 16 target genes were predicted. Target gene enrichment analysis revealed significant enrichment of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB) signaling pathway ( P < 0.05). Tumour necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 6 (Traf6) and interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase 1 (Irak1) were enriched in the MAPK and NF-κB signaling pathways, with corresponding miRNA and circRNA of miR-146a-5p and chr2: 94716330|94720889. Conclusion:Nineteen differentially expressed circRNAs in rat articular chondrocyte injury are successfully screened, and chr2: 94716330|94720889 may regulate the MAPK and NF-κB signaling pathways through the miR-146a-5p/Traf6/Irak1 axis, inducing articular chondrocyte injury.

Objective:To explore the effect and safety of mesenchymal stem cell exosome microneedle introduction in the treatment of melasma.Methods:Thirty cases of female patients with stable melasma in the Department of Dermatology, Changsha Meilai Medical Beauty Hospital, aged (36±5) years and with a disease duration of (42.4±20.7) months, from July 2021 to July 2022, were retrospectively included. According to Fitzpatrick skin typing, 23 cases of type Ⅲ and 7 cases of type Ⅳ were included. All patients were locally anesthetized with lidocaine cream for 30 min, and rolled with a 0.5 mm needle in a zigzag pattern with even force, in the order of the right cheek, the left cheek, the forehead, the nose, the mandible, and the upper lip. During the rolling process, 3 ml of MSC exosome medical liquid wound dressing was applied to the facial skin, and after it was fully absorbed, exosome was locally readministered in the area of melasma. Treatment ended with a slight redness at the site of application. 1 MSC exosome wound dressing was appllied as a cold compress for 15 min after treatment. Treatment was given once every 2 weeks for 6 consecutive sessions. All the patients were followed up at 4 and 12 weeks after the last session, and the area and severity index of melasma (MASI) were scored before and after the treatment, the clinical efficiency and patient satisfaction rate and the incidence of adverse reactions were also counted.Results:At 4 and 12 weeks after the end of treatment, the skin color of all 30 patients was brighter than that before treatment, and no recurrence of melasma symptoms seen. At 12 weeks after the end of treatment, the decrease rate of MASI score was 66.1%, among which the decrease rate of MASI score in patients with type Ⅲ melasma was 63.9%, and the decrease rate of MASI score in patients with type Ⅳ melasma was 63.9%. Among the 30 patients, 1 case was cured, 25 cases showed obvious improved, 4 cases were improved, and no cases were ineffective, with an effective rate of 86.7% (26/30). Five patients were very satisfied, 18 patients were satisfied, 6 patients were generally satisfied, and 1 patient was dissatisfied; the patient satisfaction rate was 76.7% (23/30). No serious adverse reactions occurred in all patients.Conclusions:MSC exosome microneedle introduction is safe and effective in the treatment of melasma without serious adverse reactions.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a prevalent malignant tumor often leading to liver metastasis and mortality. Despite some success with PD-1/PD-L1 immunotherapy, the response rate for colon cancer patients remains relatively low. This is closely related to the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment mediated by tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs). Our previous work identified that a phosphoglycerate mutase 1 (PGAM1) allosteric inhibitor, HKB99, exerts a range of anti-tumor activities in lung cancer. Here, we found that upregulation of PGAM1 correlates with increased levels of M2-like tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) in human colon cancer samples, particularly in liver metastatic tissues. HKB99 suppressed tumor growth and metastasis in cell culture and syngeneic tumor models. M2-polarization, induced by colon cancer cell co-culture, was reversed by HKB99. Conversely, the increased migration of colon cancer cells by M2-TAMs was remarkably restrained by HKB99. Notably, a decrease in TAM infiltration was required for the HKB99-mediated anti-tumor effect, along with an increase in CD8⁺ T cell infiltration. Moreover, HKB99 improved the efficacy of anti-PD-1 treatment in syngeneic tumors. Overall, this study highlights HKB99's inhibitory activity in TAM-mediated colon cancer progression. Targeting PGAM1 could lead to novel therapeutic strategies and enhance the effectiveness of existing immunotherapies for colon cancer.

Plant-derived nanovesicles have gained attention given their similarity to mammalian exosomes and advantages such as low cost, sustainability, and tissue targeting. Thus, they hold promise for disease treatment and drug delivery. In this study, we proposed a time-efficient method, PEG 8000 combined with sucrose density gradient centrifugation to prepare ginger-derived nanovesicles (GDNVs). Subsequently, curcumin (CUR) was loaded onto GDNV by ultrasonic incubation. The optimum conditions for ginger-derived nanovesicles loaded with curcumin (CG) were ultrasound time of 3 min, a carrier-to-drug ratio (GDNV:CUR) of 1:1. The study achieved a high loading capacity (94.027% ± 0.094%) and encapsulation efficiency (89.300% ± 0.344%). Finally, the drugs' in vivo distribution and anti-colitis activity were investigated in mice. CG was primarily distributed in the colon after oral administration. Compared to CUR and GDNV, CG was superior in improving disease activity, colon length, liver and spleen coefficients, myeloperoxidase activity, and biochemical factor levels in ulcerative colitis (UC) mice. In addition, CG plays a protective role against UC by modulating serum metabolite levels and gut flora. In summary, our study demonstrated that GDNV can be used for CUR delivery with enhanced therapeutic potential.
