Psoriasis is an incurable chronic inflammatory disease that requires new interventions. Here, we found that fibroblasts exacerbate psoriasis progression by promoting macrophage recruitment via CCL2 secretion by single-cell multi-omics analysis. The natural small molecule celastrol was screened to interfere with the secretion of CCL2 by fibroblasts and improve the psoriasis-like symptoms in both murine and cynomolgus monkey models. Mechanistically, celastrol directly bound to the low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (LRP1) β-chain and abolished its binding to the transcription factor c-Jun in the nucleus, which in turn inhibited CCL2 production by skin fibroblasts, blocked fibroblast-macrophage crosstalk, and ameliorated psoriasis progression. Notably, fibroblast-specific LRP1 knockout mice exhibited a significant reduction in psoriasis like inflammation. Taken together, from clinical samples and combined with various mouse models, we revealed the pathogenesis of psoriasis from the perspective of fibroblast-macrophage crosstalk, and provided a foundation for LRP1 as a novel potential target for psoriasis treatment.

Objective:To understand the prevalence of psychoactive substance use and related factors in men who have unprotected sex with men in Zhejiang Province.Methods:Men who have unprotected sex with men were recruited by snowball sampling through men who have sex with men (MSM) social organization in Zhejiang to conduct a cross-sectional investigation from January 2022 to December 2023. The sample size was estimated to be 1 169 individuals. The information about their socio-demographic information, sexual behaviors, psychoactive substance use, and HIV testing were collected through on-site questionnaire survey. Logistic regression analysis model was used to analyze related factors about psychoactive substance use in this population.Results:A total of 1 914 men who have unprotected sex with men were included in the study, the average age of the study subjects was (31.43±10.46) years, and most of them were aged ≤35 years (70.8%, 1 356/1 914). Those with education level of high school or below accounted for 50.1% (960/1 914) and those who were not married accounted for 63.5% (1 216/1 914). Psychoactive substance use in the past 3 months was reported in 19.7% (377/1 914) of the subjects. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the factors associated with psychoactive substance use in the past 3 months included age 26-35 years (a OR=1.65, 95% CI: 1.24-2.19), ≥2 sexual partners in the past 3 months (a OR=2.33, 95% CI: 1.82-2.97), STD diagnosed in the past 3 months (a OR=2.62, 95% CI: 1.45-4.74), and awareness of the HIV infection status of sexual partners (a OR=2.83, 95% CI: 2.12-3.78). Conclusions:The prevalence of psychoactive substance use in men who have unprotected sex with men was high in Zhejiang. It is necessary to strengthen the intervention in this population.

Objective:To investigate the clinically curative effect of composite dressing of adipose mesenchymal stem cell exosomes and chitosan hydrogel in treating deep Ⅱ burn wound.Methods:A total of 108 patients with superficially deep Ⅱ burns,who admitted to Tangdu Hospital,Air Force Medical University within 48 hours during March 2022 and October 2024,were selected.Patients were randomly divided into conventional treatment group and the combined treatment group by using a random number table,with 54 patients in each group.All patients underwent enzymatic debridement(collagenase ointment)to conduct conventional treatment.The combined treatment group received treatment with composite dressings of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cell exosomes(ADSCs-Exo)combined with chitosan hydrogel,while the conventional treatment group received treatment with silver sulfadiazine dressings(SSD)on the basis of conventional treatment.The healing rates of wound,Vancouver Scar Scale(VSS)scores,the levels of serum inflammatory factors included interleukin-6(IL-6),interleukin-1β(IL-1β),C-reactive protein(CRP),and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),as well as curative efficacy rates,and adverse reactions between two groups were compared at different time points after treatment.Results:There was not statistically significant difference in healing rates of wound between the two groups at the 7th day after treatment(P>0.05).At the 14th day and the 21th day after treatment,the average healing rates of wound in the combined treatment group were respectively(67.69±8.57)%and(89.46±7.54)%,which were higher than(59.50±4.93)%and(75.52±9.11)%in the conventional treatment group,and the differences were statistically significant(t=6.087,8.662,P<0.05).The average VSS score was(6.42±1.20)points in the combined treatment group after treatment,which was lower than that in the conventional treatment group(8.94±1.58),and the difference was statistically significant(t=9.33,P<0.05).Before treatment,there were not statistically significant difference in VAS scores and the levels of serum inflammatory factor between the two groups(P>0.05).At the 7th day,the 14th day and the 21th day after treatment,the VAS scores in the combined treatment group were significantly lower than those in the conventional treatment group(t=10.008,12.004,13.899,P<0.05),respectively.At the 21th day after treatment,the levels of IL-6,IL-1β,CRP,and TNF-α of the combined treatment group were significantly lower than those of the conventional treatment group(t=3.400,4.490,7.293,5.900,P<0.05).The efficacy rate of clinical treatment in the combined treatment group was 96.30%,which was higher than 83.33%of the conventional treatment group,with a statistical significance(x2=7.942,P<0.05).The incidence of adverse reaction in the combined treatment group was 14.81%,which was lower than 24.07%of the conventional treatment group,without statistical significance(P>0.05).Conclusion:Compared with conventional silver sulfadiazine dressing,the composite dressing of adipose mesenchymal stem cell exosomes and chitosan hydrogel can quickly promote the re-epithelialization process in treating patients with superficially deep Ⅱ burns at the middle to late stage,and improve the healing rate,and relieve the inflammatory reaction and pain perception of patients for wound,and enhance efficiency and safety.

Background::A phase II trial on recombinant human tenecteplase tissue-type plasminogen activator (rhTNK-tPA) has previously shown its preliminary efficacy in ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients. This study was designed as a pivotal postmarketing trial to compare its efficacy and safety with rrecombinant human tissue-type plasminogen activator alteplase (rt-PA) in Chinese patients with STEMI.Methods::In this multicenter, randomized, open-label, non-inferiority trial, patients with acute STEMI were randomly assigned (1:1) to receive an intravenous bolus of 16 mg rhTNK-tPA or an intravenous bolus of 8 mg rt-PA followed by an infusion of 42 mg in 90 min. The primary endpoint was recanalization defined by thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) flow grade 2 or 3. The secondary endpoint was clinically justified recanalization. Other endpoints included 30-day major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCEs) and safety endpoints.Results::From July 2016 to September 2019, 767 eligible patients were randomly assigned to receive rhTNK-tPA ( n = 384) or rt-PA ( n = 383). Among them, 369 patients had coronary angiography data on TIMI flow, and 711 patients had data on clinically justified recanalization. Both used a –15% difference as the non-inferiority efficacy margin. In comparison to rt-PA, both the proportion of patients with TIMI grade 2 or 3 flow (78.3% [148/189] vs. 81.7% [147/180]; differences: –3.4%; 95% confidence interval [CI]: –11.5%, 4.8%) and clinically justified recanalization (85.4% [305/357] vs. 85.9% [304/354]; difference: –0.5%; 95% CI: –5.6%, 4.7%) in the rhTNK-tPA group were non-inferior. The occurrence of 30-day MACCEs (10.2% [39/384] vs. 11.0% [42/383]; hazard ratio: 0.96; 95% CI: 0.61, 1.50) did not differ significantly between groups. No safety outcomes significantly differed between groups. Conclusion::rhTNK-tPA was non-inferior to rt-PA in the effect of improving recanalization of the infarct-related artery, a validated surrogate of clinical outcomes, among Chinese patients with acute STEMI.Trial registration::www.ClinicalTrials.gov (No. NCT02835534).

Objective: To investigate the characteristics of AHFtest-based HIV antibody self-testing among male adolescents at ages of 15 to 24 years, so as to provide insights into the promotion of HIV antibody self-testing. Methods: Data were collected from male adolescents at ages of 15 to 24 years that applied for HIV antibody self-testing in the AHFtest platform from 2019 to 2021, with mailing address showing as Zhejiang Province, and demographics, applying cause and testing results were analyzed. Results: A total of 268 male adolescents were enrolled, with a median age of 22.00 (interquartile range, 3.00) years. There were 160 cases with an educational level of junior college/bachelor (59.70%), 147 students (54.85%), 175 men who had sex with men (65.30%), and 126 cases with a history of previous HIV antibody self-testing (47.01%). The main causes for applying for HIV antibody self-testing through AHFtest were "easy to operate" (259 cases, 96.64%) and "privacy protect" (102 cases, 38.06%). There were 203 subjects that applied once HIV antibody self-testing (75.75%), and 65 subjects that applied multiple self-testing (24.25%). There were 123 subjects that uploaded their test results (45.90%), including 3 cases with HIV antibody positive, and 125 subjects that did not tell others the self-testing results (46.64%). Conclusions Among male applicants at ages of 15 to 24 years in Zhejiang Province from 2019 to 2021, students are predominant occupation. Easy to operate and privacy protect are the main cause for the application, but the proportion of detection results uploading is relatively low.

Serine/arginine-rich splicing factor 7 (SRSF7), a known splicing factor, has been revealed to play oncogenic roles in multiple cancers. However, the mechanisms underlying its oncogenic roles have not been well addressed. Here, based on N⁶-methyladenosine (m⁶A) co-methylation network analysis across diverse cell lines, we find that the gene expression of SRSF7 is positively correlated with glioblastoma (GBM) cell-specific m⁶A methylation. We then indicate that SRSF7 is a novel m⁶A regulator, which specifically facilitates the m⁶A methylation near its binding sites on the mRNAs involved in cell proliferation and migration, through recruiting the methyltransferase complex. Moreover, SRSF7 promotes the proliferation and migration of GBM cells largely dependent on the presence of the m⁶A methyltransferase. The two m⁶A sites on the mRNA for PDZ-binding kinase (PBK) are regulated by SRSF7 and partially mediate the effects of SRSF7 in GBM cells through recognition by insulin-like growth factor 2 mRNA-binding protein 2 (IGF2BP2). Together, our discovery reveals a novel role of SRSF7 in regulating m⁶A and validates the presence and functional importance of temporal- and spatial-specific regulation of m⁶A mediated by RNA-binding proteins (RBPs).
