Objective To investigate the clinical value of 3.0 T functional magnetic resonance imaging in evaluating postoperative recurrence and treatment efficacy of glioma. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the general clinical data of 67 patients who underwent glioma surgery at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Xingtai Medical University. All patients received chemotherapy for more than one month post-surgery. Recurrence of glioma was diagnosed based on secondary surgery or pathological biopsy results as the gold standard. From 3 to 6 months post-surgery, computerized tomography was used to measure cerebral blood volume (CBV), three-dimensional arterial spin labeling was used to measure cerebral blood flow (CBF) and relative CBF (rCBF), and diffusion-weighted imaging with and without contrast enhancement was used to measure apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC). Data were analyzed using SPSS 26.0 statistical software, and the t test or χ2 test was used for inter-group comparisons based on data type. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was applied to evaluate the value of CBV, rCBF, and ADC in assessing postoperative recurrence and treatment efficacy of glioma. Results Patients with high-grade gliomas showed significantly higher CBV and rCBF and significantly lower ADC compared to those with low-grade gliomas (P < 0.05). The area under the ROC curve (AUC) of CBV, rCBF, and ADC in combination for grading glioma was 0.960, which was higher than those of individual indicators (0.790, 0.955, and 0.795, P < 0.05). The recurrence group had significantly higher CBV and rCBF and lower ADC compared to the non-recurrence group (P < 0.05). The AUC of CBV, rCBF, and ADC in combination for predicting postoperative glioma recurrence was 0.965, which was significantly higher than those of individual indicators (0.729, 0.929, and 0.941, P < 0.05). CBV and rCBF were lower and ADC was higher in the effective treatment group than in the ineffective treatment group (P < 0.05). The AUC of CBV, rCBF, and ADC in combination for evaluating glioma treatment efficacy was 0.985, which was higher than those of individual indicators (0.842, 0.898, and 0.961, P < 0.05). Conclusion The CBV, rCBF, and ADC in combination has shown high diagnostic accuracy and predictive efficacy in the evaluation of postoperative recurrence and treatment efficacy of glioma, which has important clinical application value.

BACKGROUND:Much of the current research on M2 macrophage-derived exosomes focuses on their effects on wound healing and osteoblast proliferation and differentiation,while few studies have focused on their role in regulating microglia phenotype.OBJECTIVE:To discuss the role and molecular mechanisms of M2 macrophage-derived exosomes in the phenotypic regulation of microglia.MERHODS:(1)Bone marrow primary macrophages were extracted and then stimulated with 50 ng/mL interleukin 4 for 24 hours to promote macrophage M2-type polarization.Flow cytometry and cellular immunofluorescence were used to identify the M2-type macrophage marker CD206.(2)M2 macrophage-derived exosomes were extracted and identified.(3)Microglia BV2 were randomly divided into three groups:control group,lipopolysaccharide group,and treatment group.No treatment was done in the control group.500 ng/mL lipopolysaccharide was added to the intervention for 24 hours in the lipopolysaccharide group.500 ng/mL lipopolysaccharide and 25 μg/mL M2 macrophage-derived exosomes were added simultaneously to the treatment group for 24 hours.ELISA was performed to detect the secretion of tumor necrosis factor α and interleukin 10 in the culture supernatant.qRT-PCR was performed to detect the mRNA expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase,arginase 1,interleukin 1β,and interleukin 10 in the cells.Western blot assay was performed to detect the protein expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase,arginase 1,and nuclear factor-κB signaling pathway related protein expression.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)ELISA results showed that the secretion of tumor necrosis factor α was significantly increased in the lipopolysaccharide group compared with the control group.The secretion of tumor necrosis factor α was reduced and the secretion of interleukin 10 was increased in the treatment group compared with the lipopolysaccharide group.(2)The qRT-PCR results showed that compared with the control group,the mRNA expression of interleukin 1β and inducible nitric oxide synthase increased in the lipopolysaccharide group.Compared with the lipopolysaccharide group,the mRNA expression of interleukin 1β and inducible nitric oxide synthase decreased,and the mRNA expression of interleukin 10 and arginase 1 increased in the treatment group.(3)Western blot assay results showed that the expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase protein was increased in the lipopolysaccharide group compared with the control group.The expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase protein was decreased and the expression of arginase 1 protein was elevated in the treatment group compared with the lipopolysaccharide group.(4)Compared with the control group,the expression of p65 and p-IκB-α proteins in the nuclear factor-κB signaling pathway was reduced in the lipopolysaccharide group,whereas the expression of p65 and p-IκB-α proteins was elevated in the treatment group compared with the lipopolysaccharide group.The results showed that M2-type macrophage-derived exosomes could significantly inhibit lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammatory responses in microglia,enhance the expression of the anti-inflammatory factor interleukin 10,suppress the expression of the pro-inflammatory factors tumor necrosis factor α and interleukin 1β,and promote microglial cell phenotypes polarized from the M1-type to the M2-type.The mechanism may be related to the inhibition of nuclear factor-κB signaling pathway activation by M2-type macrophage-derived exosomes.

Multiple myeloma(MM),a common malignancy of plasma cells,remains an incurable disease de-spite significant therapeutic advancements.A defining characteristic of MM is the recurrent occurrence of cytogenetic ab-normalities,particularly the gains of chromosome 1q21(1q21+),which are among the most frequently observed anoma-lies in this condition,affecting approximately 40%of patients with newly diagnosed MM.While numerous studies have identified 1q21+as an independent prognostic marker linked to poor outcomes in MM,its prognostic significance continues to be debated.An increasing number of national and international prognostic stratification systems classify 1q21+as a high-risk factor;however,its predictive value remains contentious.Variations in 1q21 copy numbers significantly impact genomic instability,drug resistance,and the likelihood of early disease progression,highlighting its growing importance in clinical management strategies.Despite the availability of various therapeutic approaches,such as autologous hemato-poietic stem cell transplantation,immunomodulatory drugs,and proteasome inhibitors,the adverse prognostic implica-tions of 1q21+persist unresolved.This review will explore the latest advancements in understanding the 1q21+in MM,fo-cusing on its pathogenesis,prognostic relevance,and implications for clinical management.

To investigate the effects of phosphorus fertilizer on the morphological traits, active ingredients and rhizosphere soil microbial community of Polygala tenuifolia. The phosphorus fertilizer was calculated in terms of P_2O_5. Five treatments were set up: 0(CK), 17(P1), 34(P2), 51(P3), and 68(P4) kg per Mu(1 Mu≈667 m~2). A randomized block design was adopted. Samples of P. tenuifolia and its rhizosphere soil were collected under different superphosphate fertilizer treatments. Illumina high-throughput sequencing was used to analyze the rhizosphere soil microbial community, 9 morphological traits were measured and the content of 11 active ingredients were determined. The results showed that the whole plant weight, shoot fresh weight, root weight, and root peel thickness were the highest under P1 treatment, increasing by 34.41%, 38.80%, 39.21%, and 3.17% respectively compared to CK. Under P2 treatment, the plant height, stem diameter, root thickness, and core thickness were significantly higher than CK. Phosphorus fertilizer had a significant impact on the content of tenuifolin, sibiricose A5, sibiricose A6, arillanin A, 3,6'-disinapoyl sucrose, and polygalaxanthone Ⅲ. Correlation analysis results showed that the relative abundance of Arthrobacter, Bacillus, norank_f_Vicinamibacteraceae, norank_o_Vicinamibacterales, MND1 and other bacteria, as well as the relative abundance of Neocosmospora, Paraphoma and other fungi were positively correlated with root diameter, wood core diameter, the whole plant weight, root weight, shoot fresh weight of P. tenuifolia. Bacillus, Neocosmospora, Subulicystidium were significantly positively correlated with oligosaccharides such as 3,6'-disinapoyl sucrose, sibiricose A5、sibiricose A6、glomeratose A、arillanin A and tenuifoliside C. Arthrobacter, Humicola, Aspergillus, Paraphoma were positively correlated with tenuifolin and norank_f_Vicinamibacteraceae, norank_o_Vicinamibacterales, Fusarium were positively correlated with polygalaxanthone Ⅲ. Evidently, appropriate phosphorus application is conducive to the growth and quality improvement of P. tenuifolia, and can increase the abundance of beneficial microorganisms in the soil.
