In recent years,viral vector-mediated chimeric antigen receptor(CAR)cell therapy has emerged as a prominent topic in the field of cancer treatment and has demonstrated significant clinical efficacy in patients with hematological malignancies.However,the permanent expression of CAR induced by this therapy may give rise to severe adverse reactions.In contrast,messenger RNA(mRNA)chimeric antigen receptor therapy is anticipated to become a new generation of safer and more effective treatments due to its lack of insertional mutagenesis and minimal risk of off-tar-get toxicity.This therapeutic approach involves transfecting effector immune cells with CAR-en-coding mRNA to elicit an immune response within the body.It has been employed for treating B-cell malignancies,lymphoma,acute myelogenous leukemia(AML),and other cancers.The continuous optimization of mRNA purification,modification,and transfection technology enhances CAR ex-pression durability,while increasing killing efficiency and expanding the range of action.This pa-per reviews the research advances on CAR-encoding mRNA delivery,its application and advan-tages in cancer therapies.

In-depth study of the components of polymyxins is the key to controlling the quality of this class of antibiotics.Similarities and variations of components present significant analytical challenges.A two-dimensional(2D)liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry(LC-MS)method was established for screening and comprehensive profiling of compositions of the antibiotic colistimethate sodium(CMS).A high concentration of phosphate buffer mobile phase was used in the first-dimensional LC system to get the components well separated.For efficient and high-accuracy screening of CMS,a targeted method based on a self-constructed high resolution(HR)mass spectrum database of CMS components was established.The database was built based on the commercial MassHunter Personal Compound Database and Library(PCDL)software and its accuracy of the compound matching result was verified with six known components before being applied to genuine sample screening.On this basis,the unknown peaks in the CMS chromatograms were deduced and assigned.The molecular formula,group composition,and origins of a total of 99 compounds,of which the combined area percentage accounted for more than 95%of CMS components,were deduced by this 2D-LC-MS method combined with the MassHunter PCDL.This profiling method was highly efficient and could distinguish hundreds of components within 3 h,providing reliable results for quality control of this kind of complex drugs.

Objective To identify differentially expressed genes(DEGs)during the early stage of differentiation of human embryonic stem cells(hESCs)into insulin-producing cells(IPCs)and construct the microRNA(miRNA)-mRNA regulatory network.Methods The datasets GSE42094 from Gene Expression Omnibus(GEO)were employed in this study and included hESCs,Diff1,Diff2,Diff3,Diff4 and IPCs groups.DEGs in the Diff1 group were selected and gene ontology(GO)and Keyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG)pathway were deciphered.The miRNAs associated with DEGs were predicted and the miRNA-mRNA regulatory network was visualized.Then the predicted miRNA was validated by paper result.Results GO result demonstrated that the significant term of biological process were"cell migration involved in gastrulation"and"SMAD protein signal transduction".The KEGG pathway analysis indicated that"transformating growth factor(TGF)-beta signaling pathway"and"Signaling pathways regulating pluripotency of stem cells"played essential roles for 28 DEGs in the Diff1 group.To predict miRNA associated with DEGs,we found that miR-335-5p may regulate expressions of CDA,IFITM1,FREM1,FGF17 and ROR2 genes.There were 26 miRNAs which were validated by result of paper.Conclusion The miRNA-mRNA regulatory network plays an essential role during the early stage of the induction of IPCs.

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) cell therapy offers promising new avenues for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma. However, several challenges hinder its full potential. Firstly, the high heterogeneity of hepatocellular carcinoma results in a lack of ideal targets, complica-ting the ability of CAR cells to specifically recognize and effectively eliminate tumor cells. Secondly, the immunosuppressive microenvironment of hepatocellular carcinoma, characterized by regulatory T cells and myeloid-derived suppressor cells, diminishes the efficacy of CAR cell therapy, further affecting treatment efficacy. Additionally, safety concerns such as cytokine release syndrome and neurotoxicity remain significant obstacles to clinical application. Finally, the high cost and complex manufacturing processes involved in CAR cell therapy present major barriers to its widespread use. Future research should focus on optimizing target selection, particularly by identifying hepato-cellular carcinoma specific molecular markers; improving CAR cells resilience in immunosuppre-ssive environments; enhancing safety protocols; and streamlining production methods to reduce costs. Addressing these critical issues will facilitate the broader application of CAR cell therapy in hepatocellular carcinoma and other solid tumors, paving the way for a paradigm shift in cancer treatment. Based on relevant literature and combined it with clinical practice, the authors explore the prospects and challenges of CAR cell therapy for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma, aiming to provide new ideas for its clinical application.

Skin avulsion injuries of the lower leg are common in clinical practice, which can easily lead to skin necrosis and infection of the lower leg, and have a significant impact on the appearance and function of the lower limb. Among them, the open avulsion injury has the highest incidence and is often accompanied by multiple tissue injuries. Therefore, improper diagnosis and treatment may cause skin and soft tissue defects of the lower leg combined with bone exposure or even bone defects, seriously impairing patients′ life and health. In order to have a better understanding of the open skin avulsion injury of the lower leg, achieve precise diagnosis and treatment and improve prognosis, the Chinese Society of Traumatology of Chinese Medical Association and the Chinese Association of Microsurgeons of Chinese Medical Doctor Association organized experts in the related fields to formulate Clinical guideline for the diagnosis and treatment of open skin avulsion injuries of the lower leg ( version 2024) based on evidence-based medicine principles. A total of 16 recommendations were proposed on the diagnosis, treatment, postoperative rehabilitation of open lower leg skin avulsion injury, so as to provide a reference for its diagnosis and treatment.
