Objective:To investigate the construction of fluorinated human serum albumin (F-HSA) nanoparticles loaded with epirubicin (EPI) EPI@F-HSA and its potential in urothelium penetration after bladder perfusion in female C57 mice.Methods:From January 2023 to December 2023, HSA and EPI were selected as raw materials to synthesize albumin nanoparticles loaded with EPI (EPI@HSA) based on the principles of biomineralization. EPI@F-HSA was synthesized through an amide reaction. The molecular descriptor of hydrated particles were measured by dynamic light scattering and potentiometric analyzer, and the release curve of EPI in vitro was plotted at 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 24 and 48 h. The inhibitory effect of EPI@HSA and EPI@F-HSA nanoparticles on MB49 tumor cell activity was determined by MTT assay. The fluorescence distribution of EPI in mouse bladder sections after drug infusion was recorded by confocal microscope and the difference of fluorescence density of EPI was examined by Tukey post-hoc test to reflect the urothelium permeability.Results:The average hydrated particle sizes of EPI@HSA and EPI@F-HSA were 28.2 nm and 32.7 nm, respectively, and the polydispersity index (PDI) were 0.102 and 0.154. The cumulative EPI release of EPI@HSA and EPI@F-HSA nanoparticles within 12 h were 60.5% and 58.2% respectively in pH 5.0 buffer solution, and were 32.8% and 27.1% in pH 7.4 buffer solution. The median inhibitory concentrations of EPI@HSA and EPI@F-HSA nanoparticles on MB49 bladder cancer cells were 1.848 μmol/L and 1.650 μmol/L respectively. After perfusion with EPI, EPI@HSA, and EPI@F-HSA, the fluorescence intensities of EPI in the bladder wall were 2.63±0.43, 3.22±0.20 and 8.71±0.70, respectively, and the EPI fluorescence intensity of EPI@F-HSA was significantly higher than that of EPI@HSA ( P<0.01) and free EPI ( P<0.01). Conclusions:The fluorinated albumin nanoparticles had uniform particle size, good stability, significant inhibition of tumor cell activity and osmotic potential in urothelium, which had the potential to improve the anti-tumor efficacy and were expected to become a new drug delivery system targeting bladder cancer.

Purpose: Patients with advanced biliary tract cancer (BTC) have a poor survival. We aim to evaluate the efficacy and safety of nab-paclitaxel plus gemcitabine and cisplatin regimen in Chinese advanced BTC patients. Materials and Methods: Eligible patients with locally advanced or metastatic BTC administrated intravenous 100 mg/m2 nab-paclitaxel, 800 mg/m2 gemcitabine, and 25 mg/m2 cisplatin every 3 weeks. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS). The secondary endpoints included overall survival (OS) and adverse events, while exploratory endpoint was the association of biomarkers with efficacy. Results: After the median follow-up of 25.0 months, the median PFS and OS of 34 enrolled patients were 7.1 months (95% confidence interval [CI], 5.4 to 13.7) and 16.4 months (95% CI, 10.9 to 23.6), respectively. The most common treatment-related adverse events at ≥ 3 grade were neutropenia (26.5%) and leukopenia (26.5%). Survival analyses demonstrated that carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) levels could monitor patients’ survival outcomes. A significant increase in the number of infiltrating CD4+ cells (p=0.008) and a decrease in programmed death-1–positive (PD-1+) cells (p=0.032) were observed in the response patients. Conclusion In advanced BTC patients, nab-paclitaxel plus gemcitabine and cisplatin regimen showed therapeutic potential. Potential prognostic factors of CEA levels, number of CD4+ cells and PD-1+ cells may help us maximize the efficacy benefit.

Objective To investigate the expression of PLCD3 mRNA in the synovium of osteoarthritis(OA)and its relationship with immune cell infiltration.Methods Based on the differentially expressed genes of OA found in the previous study,the expression of phospholipase Cδ3(PLCD3)mRNA was detected by col-lecting synovial samples from OA group and control group.CIBERSORT algorithm was used to analyze the infiltration pattern of immune cells in OA group and control group,and the correlation between PLCD3 and infiltrating immune cells was further analyzed.Results Compared with the control group,the relative expres-sion level of PLCD3 mRNA was significantly increased in synovial samples of OA group(P<0.05).The pro-portions of B cells naive,NK cells activated,M2 macrophages and mast cells activated in synovial tissues of OA group were relatively high(P<0.05).PLCD3 was positively correlated with the proportion of these four immune cells(P<0.05).Conclusion PLCD3 may be a key biomarker for the diagnosis of OA,which may be involved in the pathogenesis of OA by interacting with infiltrating immune cells.

BACKGROUND:Molecular mechanisms targeting the miRNA/mRNA axis to regulate osteoarthritis disease process have been studied.We identified the mRNA:phospholipase C delta 3(PLCD3)and its target miRNA(miR-34a-5p)with clinical predictive value through previous bioinformatics studies,while experiments to verify their specific roles and mechanisms in regulating osteoarthritis are still lacking. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the regulatory role and mechanism of miR-34a-5p/PLCD3 axis on osteoarthritis progression. METHODS:The synovium of 15 patients with knee osteoarthritis was selected as the osteoarthritis group,and the synovium of 15 young patients with internal fixation of patellar fracture caused by trauma during the same period was selected as the control group.The expression of PLCD3 and miR-34a-5p in the synovium was detected by real-time PCR.Human fibroblast like synovial cells-osteoarthritis(HFLS-OA)cells were treated by cell transfection and divided into miR-34a-5p mimic group,pCDH-PLCD3 group,miR-34a-5p mimic+pCDH-PLCD3 group,miR-34a-5p inhibitor group,si-PLCD3 group,and miR-34a-5p inhibitor+si-PLCD3 group.The relationship between PLCD3 and miR-34a-5p expression was detected by real-time PCR.The effects of HFLS-OA cell viability and cell migration in each group were detected by CCK-8 assay and cell scratch test.Western blot assay was used to detect the expression level of apoptosis marker protein.The expression of inflammatory factors was detected by ELISA. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)PLCD3 was a direct target of miR-34a-5p,and the expression levels of PLCD3 and miR-34a-5p were negatively correlated.(2)Upregulation of PLCD3 promoted proliferation of HFLS-OA cells and inhibited cell migration.The up-regulation of miR-34a-5p significantly inhibited the activity of HFLS-OA cells and enhanced cell migration.Overexpression of miR-34a-5p significantly increased the levels of Casp3 and Casp9 proteins in HFLS-OA cells,while overexpression of PLCD3 showed the opposite trend.(3)PLCD3 overexpression significantly increased the expression of interleukin 6 and tumor necrosis factor alpha in HFLS-OA cells,while miR-34a-5p mimics showed protective activity.(4)The miR-34a-5p/PLCD3 axis may affect the progression of osteoarthritis by regulating the inflammatory process or apoptosis of synovial cells.

Objective To investigate the relationship between coagulation indicators and early prognosis in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).Methods The data of ARDS patients receiving the treatment in the intensive care unit (ICU) from 2008-2019 were selected from the Critical Care Medicine Open Database (MIMIC-Ⅳ V2.0 version) jointly published by MIT,Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center,and Philips Medical,the data were categorized according to the severity of the patients' disease and the causes of lung damage.The coagulation indexes and 28 d mortality (m28d) rates were compared among different ARDS patients.The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was drawn.The area under the curve was calculated to evaluate the predictive values of the related indicators.The univariate and multivariate logistic re-gression was adopted to analyze the risk factors affecting m28d in the patients with ARDS.Results Maximum prothrombin time (PTmax) in the patients with pulmonary origin ARDS was significantly lower than that in the patients without pulmonary origin ARDS,and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).PLTmin,PLTmax and Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score had statistical difference among dif-ferent severity degrees of ARDS patients (P<0.05).Minimum international normalized ratio (INRmin),maxi-mum international normalized ratio (INRmax),minimum prothrombin time (PTmin),PTmax,maximum activated partial thromboplastin time (APTTmax) and SOFA score had statistical differences between the survival group and death group (P<0.05).AUC of INRmin,INRmax,PTmin,PTmax and APTTmax were 0.607,0.624,0.610,0.620 and 0.648 respectively.The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that APTTmax (OR=1.011,95%CI:1.001-1.022,P=0.029) was an independent risk factor for affecting m28d in the ARDS patients.Conclu-sion Plasma PLT levels in different severities of ARDS patients have the difference and APTTmax on the first day in ICU is an independent risk factor for affecting early prognosis in ARDS patients.

Autologous ozonized blood transfusion(AOBT) is a therapy of re-transfusion of 100-200 mL of autologous blood after shaking and agitation with appropriate amount of oxygen-ozone in vitro. The oxidation of blood through the strong oxidation of ozone can enhance the non-specific immune response of the body, regulate the internal environment and promote health. This therapy has been increasingly applied in clinical practice, while no unified standard for the operation process in terms of ozone concentration, treatment frequency and treatment course had been established. This operation process of AOBT is primarily explored in order to standardize the operation process and ensure its safety and efficacy.
