[摘 要] 目的：探讨m6A调控因子在宫颈癌预后评估、免疫微环境特征及治疗反应中的作用，构建基于m6A调控因子的预后风险模型，并分析其与免疫浸润、药物敏感性及细胞间通信的关系。方法：基于TCGA和GEO数据库中宫颈鳞癌及腺癌（CESC）转录组数据，分析22个m6A调控因子的表达与突变情况；采用LASSO‑Cox回归构建m6A相关预后风险模型，并依据风险评分将患者分为高、低风险组。利用CIBERSORT和ESTIMATE算法评估两组免疫细胞浸润及微环境特征；通过oncoPredict预测抗肿瘤药物敏感性。整合单细胞转录组数据（E-MTAB-12305），采用CellChat分析细胞间通信网络。结果：共鉴定出12个在宫颈癌中差异表达的m6A调控因子。高风险组患者总生存期缩短（P < 0.05），免疫评分降低，且对紫杉醇、氟尿嘧啶、多柔比星等抗肿瘤药物敏感性较差（IC50较高）。单细胞分析显示宫颈癌组织中细胞间通信网络发生改变，其中T细胞与内皮/上皮细胞间的相互作用可能主要由CCL5‑ACKR1和MIF‑（CD74 + CXCR4）配体‑受体介导。在临床样本中，对关键的m6A调控因子进行mRNA和蛋白水平的验证，结果显示部分调控因子在宫颈癌组织中的表达水平高于正常宫颈组织（P < 0.05）。结论：m6A调控因子特征可有效预测宫颈癌患者预后，其风险评分与肿瘤免疫浸润、药物敏感性及细胞通信密切相关，为宫颈癌的预后分层及个体化治疗提供了新的分子依据。

OBJECTIVE: To study the genetic polymorphism of red blood cell blood group among in Shenzhen Han, Indian and Xinjiang Uyghur populations, to provide scientific basis for the demand prediction and collection strategy of rare blood group, and to explore the genetic differences of blood group between Han and Caucasians. METHODS: The haplotypes of antigen coding genes of 10 target blood group systems from 87 Han Chinese and 50 Indian blood donors in Shenzhen, and 49 healthy Uyghur people in Xinjiang were obtained by three-generation sequencing technology, and the polymorphism and frequency characteristics were analyzed. RESULTS: Only a single genotype was detected the Langereis and Vel blood group systems in samples from three different populations. Only one genotype of Dombrock blood group was detected in Shenzhen Han, and Junior blood group in Xinjiang Uygur populations. In the MNS, Duffy, Kidd, Dombrock and Junior blood group systems, the haplotype frequency of Indian and Uyghur people was significantly different from that of Han people. Compared with the Han ethnic group, the rare blood group s-, Fy(a-), Jk(a-b-), and Do(a+b-) have a higher frequency among the Uyghur and Indian populations. CONCLUSION Haplotype frequencies of antigen genes for MNS, Duffy, Kidd, Dombrock and Junior blood group system in Shenzhen Han, Indian and Uyghur populations displayed a polymorphic difference with unique distribution characteristics different from the ethnic groups in other regions.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the prevalence of lumbar spondylolysis (LS) and the proportion of spondylolytic spondylolisthesis (SS) in China, and to evaluate the musculoskeletal status of patients with LS and SS. METHODS: Spine Computed Tomography (CT) images were collected from community populations aged 40 and above in a nationwide multi-center project. LS was diagnosed, and SS was graded by an experienced radiologist. Bone mineral density (BMD) and paraspinal muscle parameters were quantified based on CT images. RESULTS: One hundred and seventeen patients of a total of 3,317 individuals were diagnosed with LS, corresponding to a prevalence rate of 3.53%. 63 of the 1,214 males (5.18%) and 54 of the 2,103 females (2.57%) were diagnosed with LS. SS occurred in 64/121 vertebrae (52.89%). BMD was not associated with LS ( P = 0.341). The L5 extensor paraspinal muscle density was higher in the LS group than in the non-LS group. In the LS group, patients with SS had a smaller L5 paraspinal extensor muscle cross-sectional area than those without SS ( P = 0.003). CONCLUSION The prevalence of LS in Chinese adults was 3.53%, with prevalence rates of 5.18% in males and 2.57% in females. Patients with LS have higher muscle density, whereas those with SS have smaller muscle cross-sectional areas at the L5 level.

Objective:By analyzing the correlation between genotypes and phenotypes,we explored the impact of the variant c.917T＞C(p.L306P)in the ABO*B.01 allele on the expression and function of B-glycosyltransferase(GTB).This study aims to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying the occurrence of this subtype.Methods:The study subjects included a blood donor specimen with incompatible forward and reverse ABO typing results.ABO phenotyping was determined using ABO blood group serology and GTB activity testing.Subsequently,Sanger sequencing and third-generation sequencing based on the PacBio platform were employed to sequence the ABO gene,resulting in the determination of haplotype sequences.Mutations were identified through sequence alignment.An in vitro cell expression system was established to assess the impact of the mutation site on antigen expression.Results:The index case in this study was identified as B subtype with the allelic genotype c.917T＞C in ABO*B.01/ABO*O.01.01,which has not been previously reported.In vitro expression results revealed decreased levels of GTB expression and overall GTB activity in the mutant cells.Furthermore,the expression of the B antigen on the cell membrane was weaker in the mutant cells compared to the wild-type cells.Conclusion:The p.L306P variation caused by the c.917T＞C mutation in the ABO*B.01 allele may be a genetic factor contributing to the reduced expression of B antigens on the surface of red blood cells.

Cytopharmaceutical based on macrophages is a breakthrough in the field of targeted drug delivery. However, it remains a challenge to localize and control drug release while retaining macrophage activity and exerting its immunotherapeutic effect. Herein, a localized light-triggered release macrophage cytopharmaceutical (USIP@M) was proposed, which could utilize the tumor targeting and immunotherapy effects of macrophages to reverse the immune suppression of tumor microenvironment (TME). Amphiphilic block copolymers with ultraviolet (UV)-responsive o-nitrobenzyl groups were synthesized and co-loaded with sorafenib (SF), IMD-0354 (IMD), and upconverting nanoparticles (UCNPs), which were then taken up by macrophages, and the targeted delivery of drugs was realized by using the tumor tropism of macrophages. UCNPs converted near-infrared light with strong penetrability and high safety into UV light, which promoted the photoresponsive depolymerization of block copolymers and production of exosomes from USIP@M, accelerated drug efflux and maintained the activity of macrophages. IMD simultaneously polarized carrier macrophages and tumor-associated macrophages to exert the antitumor effect of macrophages, enhance T cell immunity, and alleviate the immunosuppressive state of TME. Synergistically with the chemotherapeutic effect of SF, it could effectively kill tumors. In conclusion, based on the localized light-triggered release strategy, this study constructed a novel macrophage cytopharmaceutical that could localize and control drug release while retaining the activity of macrophages and exerting its immunotherapeutic effect, which could effectively treat solid tumors.

Objective To compare the prevalence and disease burden of thyroid cancer and their trends between China and the globe from 1990 to 2019.Methods With the global disease burden data in 2019,Joinpoint was used to predict the trends of the disease burden of thyroid cancer in China and the globe from 1990 to 2019,and logarithmic linear model was used to test the predicted trends.The R language was used for predictive analysis and graphic plotting of the disease burden from 2020 to 2035.Results From 1990 to 2019,the standardized incidence rate and the standardized mortality rate of thyroid cancer in China were lower than those in the globe.The standardized incidence rate in China and the globe showed an increasing trend(with the increases of 102.65% and 40.65%,respectively),while the standardized mortality rate showed a decreasing trend(with the decreases of 7.63% and 4.91%,respectively).Compared with those of the female population,the standardized incidence and mortality rates of the Chinese male population increased significantly from 1990 to 2019(the rates of change in the male population were 48.65% and 214.60%,respectively;and the rates of change in the female population were -39.01% and 60.44%,respectively).China's overall standardized years of life lost(YLL),years lived with disability(YLD),and disability-adjusted life years(DALY)rates during the 30-year period were lower than the global average.The Chinese and global populations showed the standardized YLL rate decreasing by 16.61% and 6.88% and the standardized DALY rate decreasing by 10.77% and 3.65%,respectively,while the rates of standardized YLD increased by 128.91% and 46.89%,respectively.The magnitude of DALY in China and the world was mainly influenced by YLL.The standardized incidence,mortality,and DALY rates of the Chinese male population were gradually approaching the global levels.From 1990 and 2019,thyroid cancer showed a higher mortality rate in the population with the age ≥ 75 years and a higher incidence rate in the population with the age <75 years.It is projected that from 2020 to 2035,the standardized incidence rates in China and the world will increase by 36.66% and 21.15%,respectively;the standardized mortality rates will decrease by 20.19% and 3.46%,respectively;and the standardized DALY rate is expected to decrease by 7.08% in China and increase by 4.35% in the world.Conclusions From 1990 to 2019,China's standardized incidence rate of thyroid cancer increased and had a higher increase than the global level,and the standardized mortality rate decreased,with a slightly higher decrease than the global level.However,the increases in the standardized incidence rate and mortality rate of this disease in China's ≥75 years male population were severe.Although China's disease burden of thyroid cancer showed a decreasing trend in line with the global trend as a whole,the disease burden in the Chinese males was higher than that in the females.Specifically,the disease burden due to premature death was predominant,and the burden in specific populations requires policy attention.

Experimental animals have made important contributions to human medical research and life and health. It is known that the development of laboratory animal science in Japan has been relatively rapid in the past few decades, providing important support for the development of the world's experimental animal field. Therefore, it is of great significance to understand the management mode and resource storage situation of Japanese experimental animals, analyze the advantages of Japanese experimental animal development, and propose suggestions to strengthen the high-quality development of experimental animals in China. Through literature research, the authors first analyzed the management system of experimental animals in Japan, including regulations and policies, research funding management, experimental animal management, talent cultivation, and standard and normative systems. Then, the current status of experimental animal research in Japan was summarized, including experimental animal resources, major research institutions, and production enterprises. On this basis, it was found that the field of experimental animal research in Japan currently exhibits characteristics such as a complete policy system, flexible management methods, rich resource reserves, and large-scale industrial development. Finally, by comparing the existing problems in China, suggestions for the development of experimental animal technology in China are proposed: (1) drawing on the legal management method of experimental animals in Japan, strengthening and improving the legislation and management model of experimental animals in China; (2) increaseing investment in scientific research funds, playing the role of research institutions, societies and industries, and promoting the incremental construction and industrial development of experimental animal resources.

Objective: To observe the treatment response of a two-dose regimen of inotuzumab ozogamicin (inotuzumab), a monoclonal antibody targeting CD22, for patients with heavily treated relapsed/refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (R/R B-ALL), including those failed or relapsed after chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) -T-cell therapy. Methods: Pediatric and adult patients who received two doses of inotuzumab and who were evaluated after inotuzumab treatment were included. Antibody infusions were performed between March 2020 and September 2022. All patients expressed CD22 antigen as detected by flow cytometry (>80% leukemic cells displaying CD22) before treatment. For adults, the maximum dosage per administration was 1 mg (with a total of two administrations). For children, the maximum dosage per administration was 0.85 mg/m(2) (no more than 1 mg/dose; total of two administrations). The total dosage administered to each patient was less than the standard dosage of 1.8 mg/m(2). Results: Twenty-one patients with R/R B-ALL were included, including five children (<18 years old) and sixteen adults. Seventeen patients presented with 5.0% -99.0% leukemic blasts in the bone marrow/peripheral blood or with extramedullary disease, and four patients were minimal residual disease (MRD) -positive. Fourteen patients underwent both CD19 and CD22 CAR-T-cell therapy, four underwent CD19 CAR-T-cell therapy, and three underwent blinatumomab therapy. Eleven patients underwent allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). After inotuzumab treatment, 14 of 21 patients (66.7% ) achieved a complete response (CR, one was MRD-positive CR), and all four MRD-positive patients turned MRD-negative. Four of six patients who failed recent CD22 CAR-T-cell therapy achieved a CR after subsequent inotuzumab treatment. Seven patients (33.3% ) demonstrated no response. Grade 1-3 hepatotoxicity occurred in five patients (23.8% ), one child with no response experienced hepatic veno-occlusive disease (HVOD) during salvage transplantation and recovered completely. Conclusion: For patients with heavily treated R/R B-ALL, including those who had undergone allo-HSCT and CD19/CD22 CAR-T-cell therapy, the two-dose regimen of inotuzumab resulted in a CR rate of 66.7%, and the frequency of hepatotoxicity and HVOD was low.

Aim To study the effect of G protein-coupled estrogen receptor(GPER)inhibitor G15 on the sensitivity of breast cancer tamoxifen-resistant cells to T-47DTR. Methods Experiments were carried out with 4-hydroxytamoxifen(4-OHT),the active form of tamoxifen in vivo. The sensitivity of tamoxifen-resistant breast cancer cell line T-47DTR and its parental cell line T-47D to tamoxifen was detected by MTT assay; the expression of GPER protein was analyzed by plasma separation of inhibitor G15; the effect of 4-OHT combined with G15 on the apoptosis of T-47DTR cells was analyzed by flow cytometry AnnexinV-FITC/PI double staining; the expression levels of apoptosis-related proteins Bax,Bcl-2,caspase-3,cleaved caspase-3,caspase-9,cleaved caspase-9 were analysed by Western blot. Results(1)Compared with the parental cell T-47D,the resistance of T-47DTR-resistant cells to 4-OHT was significantly enhanced.(2)When 4-OHT(2 μmol·L-1)was administered,the membrane distribution of GPER increased,indicating that GPER was activated in T-47DTR-resistant cells compared with the control group; Compared with OHT,the use of G15(5 μmol·L-1)and OHT significantly reduced the expression of GPER.(3)GPER inhibitor G15 could increase the apoptotic rate of T-47DTR-resistant cells while down-regulating the anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2 and up-regulating the expression of pro-apoptotic proteins Bax,cleaved caspase-3,cleaved caspase-9. Conclusions The GPER inhibitor G15 increases the apoptosis of T-47DTR cells and restores the sensitivity of drug-resistant cells to tamoxifen.
