Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma （DLBCL） is a highly heterogeneous disease. Although standard first-line regimens can cure ＞50% of patients， approximately one-third of them develop relapsed/refractory DLBCL （r/r DLBCL）. Consequently， immunotherapy targeting molecular abnormalities has become pivotal for managing r/r DLBCL. The results of this review show that with advances in understanding DLBCL pathogenesis and the tumor immune microenvironment， antibody-based therapies have evolved rapidly， progressing from monoclonal antibodies （e.g.， rituximab， tafasitamab） to bispecific antibodies（e.g.， odronextamab，glofitamab， epcoritamab） and antibody-drug conjugate （e.g.， polatuzumab vedotin， loncastuximab tesirine）. These engineered agents enhance immune cytotoxicity and tumor-specific targeting， providing novel therapeutic options for r/r DLBCL patients.

Cancer genomics has led to the discovery of numerous oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes that play critical roles in cancer development and progression.Oncogenes promote cell growth and proliferation,whereas tumor suppressor genes inhibit cell growth and division.The dysregulation of these genes can lead to the development of cancer.Recent studies have focused on non-coding RNAs(ncRNAs),including circular RNA(circRNA),long non-coding RNA(lncRNA),and microRNA(miRNA),as therapeutic targets for cancer.In this article,we discuss the oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes of ncRNAs associated with different types of cancer and their potential as therapeutic targets.Here,we highlight the mechanisms of action of these genes and their clinical applications in cancer treatment.Understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying cancer development and identifying specific therapeutic targets are essential steps towards the development of effective cancer treatments.

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics of cases with different congenital pulmonary airway malformations (CPAM) volume ratios (CVR) and the effect of maternal glucocorticoid treatment during pregnancy on CPAM.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted on 56 singleton pregnant women with fetal CPAM diagnosed prenatally in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital, Affiliated Hospital of Medical School, Nanjing University, from September 2020 to May 2023. Among these, three cases received maternal glucocorticoid treatment during pregnancy and clinical conditions were reported in detail. Statistical analyses were performed using independent sample t-tests, non-parametric tests, Chi-square tests, or Fisher's exact test. Results:(1) General information: The average age of the 56 pregnant women with CPAM fetuses was (32.0±0.7) years. All fetuses had unilateral lesions, with 25 cases (44.6%) on the left side. Types Ⅰ, Ⅱ, and Ⅲ CPAM accounted for 5.4% (3/56), 50.0% (28/56), and 44.6% (25/56), respectively. Fetal hydrops occurred in two cases, and the maximum CVR during the fetal period for the other 54 non-hydropic fetuses was 0.79±0.66. (2) The CVR threshold for the risk of fetal hydrops was set as the mean maximum CVR of non-hydropic CPAM fetuses plus 2 standard deviations (0.79+2×0.66=2.1). The subjects were divided into two groups based on the maximum CVR during the fetal period: CVR≤2.0 group ( n=50) and CVR>2.0 group ( n=6). Comparison between the CVR>2.0 group and CVR≤2.0 group: The CVR>2.0 group had significantly higher rates of fetal hydrops [2/6 vs. 0.0% (0/50), Fisher's exact test], mediastinal shift [5/6 vs. 32.0% (16/50), χ 2=4.03], polyhydramnios [6/6 vs. 4.0% (2/50), Fisher's exact test], and postnatal surgery [4/5 vs. 22.2% (10/45), continuity correction χ 2=4.86] (all P<0.05). None of the fetuses with CVR≤2.0 had hydrops or received intrauterine intervention. The overall live birth rate was 89.3% (50/56). (3) Maternal glucocorticoid treatment during pregnancy: three of six fetuses with CVR>2.0 were treated with maternal glucocorticoid during pregnancy, and all were delivered alive at term after the intervention with resolution of edema and/or reduction in mass size. Two of them were treated with postnatal thoracoscopic surgery and were followed up to 5 and 14 months of age, respectively, with no abnormalities in feeding and development; the other was not treated surgically until 3 months of age, with no respiratory-related symptoms and no abnormalities in feeding and development. Conclusions:Prenatal ultrasound indicating CVR>2.0 is associated with increased rates of fetal hydrops, mediastinal shift, and polyhydramnios. Maternal glucocorticoid treatment during pregnancy may lead to favorable pregnancy outcomes for these CPAM fetuses.

Objective:A kinetic model of the clearance of protein-bound uremic toxins (PBUTs) in maintenance hemodialysis patients is established to evaluate the effects of adding sorbents with different sorption efficiency to dialysate on the clearance rate of PBUTs, and to predict the sorption efficiency of sorbents using the model.Methods:The kinetic model was established by integrating the parameters of plasma flow rate ( Qp), dialysate flow rate ( Qd), free plasma fraction of PBUTs ( f1), free dialysate fraction of PBUTs ( f2), mass transfer coefficient of dialyzer ( K) and surface area of dialysis membrane ( A), and using the mass balance equation and Fick's first law. The model was also used to evaluate the relationship between the clearance rate of different PBUTs and the parameters of dialyzer and the sorption efficiency of sorbents. Results:The kinetic model of PBUTs clearance (CL): ?CL=Qp1-f1-f2γφf1-f2γ,?γ=QpQd,?φ=eKAf1Qp-f2Qd. The model was used to analyze the dialysis parameters of indoxyl sulfate and p-cresol sulfate dialysis.The clearance rate of PBUTs increased with the decrease of its binding capacity to albumin in plasma and the increase of plasma flow rate in dialyzer, dialysate flow rate, mass transfer coefficient of dialyzer, surface area of dialysis membrane, and sorption capacity of sorbents in dialysate. The increasing trend of PBUTs clearance rate was particularly obvious after applying sorbents. Further analysis of the dialysate flow rate and the sorption efficiency of sorbents in the dialysate showed that the increase of the dialysate flow rate could make up for the difference of the sorption efficiency of sorbents. When the dialysate flow rate tended to be infinite, the sorption efficiency of sorbents in the dialysate had no effect on the clearance rate of PBUTs. Conclusion:Adding sorbents of PBUTs to the dialysate during dialysis can significantly improve the clearance rate of PBUTs, suggesting a promising clinical application value.

Objective To establish an animal model of postmortem redistribution of amantadine,and to study its postmortem redistribution in rats,so as to provide experimental evidence for forensic identification.Methods One hundred and twenty-six male SD rats were randomly divided into 3 groups and subjected to intragastric administration according to the maximum dose of treatment(L),LD50(M)and 2LD50(H).Those who did not die were killed according to the average time of death of LD50.Heart-blood,peripheral blood,heart,liver,spleen,lung,kidney,brain,muscle and testis were collected at 0 h,6 h,12 h,24 h,48 h,72 h and 96 h after death,and amantadine content was detected.Results For the rats in the L group,the concentration of amantadine decreased within 6 h after death and then increased in the heart-blood,heart and liver,unchanged within 48 h and reached the peak at 96 h in the spleen,kidney,brain,muscle and testis,while decreased in the lung.For the rats in the M group,the concentration of amantadine decreased within 24 h after death and then increased in all samples,and it reached the peak at 48 h after death in the peripheral blood,spleen,kidney and muscle tissues,at 72 h after death in the heart-blood and testis,and at 96 h after death in the liver,lung and brain tissues.For the rats in the H group,the concentration of amantadine showed a downward trend within 12 h after death in the heart and liver tissue,showed a downward trend within 48 h after death in the lung,brain and muscle tissue,and reached the peak at 96 h after death in the heart,liver,spleen,muscle and testicle tissues.Conclusion The postmortem redistribution was found in amantadine poisoning dead rats,which could provide experimental evidence for the forensic identification of death cases caused by amantadine poisoning.

Objective:To evaluate the relationship between preoperative serum cystatin C (Cys C) concentration and postoperative delirium (POD) in the patients.Methods:Three hundred and ninety patients, aged >50 yr, of American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classification Ⅰor Ⅱ, scheduled for elective knee and hip replacement under combined spinal-epidural anesthesia, with Mini-Mental State Examination scores >23 at 1 day before operation, were included in the study. Peripheral blood samples were collected before operation, and the serum Cys C concentration was measured by the latex-enhanced immunoturbidimetric assay. The cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) 2 ml was collected after successful spinal-epidural puncture for determination of amyloid-β 42 (Aβ42), total tau (T-tau) and phosphorylated tau (P-tau) concentrations by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The patients were divided into POD group and non-POD group according to whether POD occurred. The logistic regression analysis was used to identify the risk and protective factors for POD, and the mediating effect of CSF biomarkers was analyzed. The receiver operating characteristic curve was drawn to evaluate the accuracy of serum Cys C concentration and combination of serum Cys C conceatration and CSF biomarker concentration in predicting POD.Results:Three hundred and twenty-seven patients were finally enrolled, and the incidence of POD was 13.5%. The results of logistic regression showed that increased serum Cys C concentration and increased concentrations of P-tau and T-tau in CSF were risk factors for POD, while increased concentration of Aβ42 and increased Aβ42/P-tau ratio and Aβ42/T-tau ratio in CSF were protective factors for POD ( P<0.05) after adjusting for multiple confounding variables such as age, sex, years of education, Mini-Mental State Examination score, smoking history, drinking history, hypertension and diabetes history. The mediation analysis showed that the relationship between serum Cys C concentration and POD was mediated by T-tau concentration in CSF (11.1%) and by Aβ42/T-tau ratio in CSF (18.0%). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of serum Cys C and CSF biomarker concentrations in predicting POD was 0.807 ( P<0.001). Conclusions:Increase in preoperative serum Cys C concentration is a risk factor for POD. T-tau concentration and Aβ42/T-tau ratio in CSF serve as the key mediators in the relationship between preoperative serum Cys C concentration and POD.

Pyroptosis, a form of cell death associated with inflammation, is known to be involved in diabetic nephropathy (DN), and discoid domain receptor 1 (DDR1), an inflammatory regulatory protein, is reported to be associated with diabetes.However, the mechanism underlying DDR1 regulation and pyroptosis in DN remains unknown. We aimed to investigate the effect of DDR1 on renal tubular epithelial cell pyroptosis and the mechanism underlying DN. In this study, we used high glucose (HG)-treated HK-2 cells and rats with a single intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin as DN models. Subsequently, the expression of pyroptosis-related proteins (cleaved caspase-1, GSDMD-N, Interleukin-1β [IL-1β], and interleukin-18 [IL-18]), DDR1, phosphorylated NF-κB (p-NF-κB), and NLR family pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasomes were determined through Western blotting. IL-1β and IL-18 levels were determined using ELISA. The rate of pyroptosis was assessed by propidium iodide (PI) staining. The results revealed upregulated expression of pyroptosisrelated proteins and increased concentration of IL-1β and IL-18, accompanied by DDR1, p-NF-κB, and NLRP3 upregulation in DN rat kidney tissues and HG-treated HK-2 cells. Moreover, DDR1 knockdown in the background of HG treatment resulted in inhibited expression of pyroptosis-related proteins and attenuation of IL-1β and IL-18 production and PI-positive cell frequency via the NF-κB/NLRP3 pathway in HK-2 cells. However, NLRP3 overexpression reversed the effect of DDR1 knockdown on pyroptosis. In conclusion, we demonstrated that DDR1 may be associated with pyroptosis, and DDR1 knockdown inhibited HG-induced renal tubular epithelial cell pyroptosis. The NF-κB/NLRP3 pathway is probably involved in the underlying mechanism of these findings.

Methods: Data scrap was administered in Microblog regarding information on "prevention and control of myopia in children and adolescents" and "TCM" by using Python scripts, sentiment analysis was used to analyze the attitude. Results: A total of 47 133 texts were included: the most(19 931) was found in Eastern China from January 1, 2018 to October 26, 2021, with an average of 204.5, 426.5, 1 990.3, and 1 340.6 per month prior as well as 1 , 2 , and 3 year after issuance. Positive/neutral/negative attitude accounted for 29.1%, 60.2%, and 10.7%, respectively. The proportion of positive/negative attitude decreased and increased slightly during the first to the third year after issuance. Conclusion Internet users attention to the prevention and control of children and adolescents myopia with TCM was affected by public health events, policies and regional distribution. Most of Internet users attitudes are neutral. It is suggested to further standardize network behavior and crack down on false publicity. And the appropriate technology of TCM based on external treatment has a high acceptance. To increase publicity regarding the integration of Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine to prevent and control myopia in children and adolescents.

Objective:To explore the effects of dietary phosphate restriction education on serum phosphorus level, dietary phosphate intake and the knowledge of hyperphosphatemia in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients.Methods:This study was a retrospective cohort study. A total of 116 hemodialysis patients in Huashan Hospital, Huadong Hospital and Tongji Hospital from October 2019 to December 2020 were enrolled in this study. They were divided into short-term group (84 cases) and long-term group (32 cases). The short-term group did not receive education or received education≤60 minutes. Meanwhile, the long-term group received education>60 minutes. Serum phosphorus level, dietary phosphate intake and knowledge of hyperphosphatemia were compared between the two groups after 4 weeks.Results:At baseline, age [64(56, 69) years old vs 65(60, 73) years old, Z=-1.493, P=0.136], the proportion of males [58.3%(49/84) vs 56.3%(18/32), χ2=0.041, P=0.839], dialysis age [55(26, 130) months vs 53(20, 132) months, Z=-0.062, P=0.951], body mass index, diabetes history, single-pool Kt/V, proportion of calctriol used, blood calcium, blood phosphorus, intact parathyroid hormone and dietary protein, dietary phosphorus and dietary phosphorus protein ratio had no statistical significance between short-term group and long-term group (all P>0.05). Adequate dietary phosphate restriction education reduced dietary phosphate intake [777.98(653.81, 943.16) mg/d vs 896.56(801.51, 1 015.51) mg/d, Z=-2.903, P=0.004], phosphate/protein ratio [13.16(11.52, 14.21) mg/g vs 15.27(13.31, 17.48) mg/g, Z=-3.929, P<0.001] and serum phosphorus level [(1.42±0.37) mmol/L vs (1.85±0.44) mmol/L, t=4.984, P<0.001]. Meanwhile, such education significantly improved achievement rate of serum phosphorus (62.5% vs 41.7%, χ2=4.034, P=0.045). In addition, patients in long-term group answered more questions correctly (completely correct plus partially correct) about the causes (93.8% vs 72.6%, χ2=6.120, P=0.013), poor prognosis (78.1% vs 52.4%, χ2=6.372, P=0.012) of hyperphosphatemia as well as the types of food with high phosphate (65.6% vs 52.4%, χ2=1.650, P=0.199). Conclusion:Adequate dietary phosphate restriction education reduces serum phosphorus level and dietary phosphate intake, and improves the knowledge of hyperphosphatemia in MHD patients.

Objective:To explore the risk factors of hypocalcemia and the correlation between calcium supplementation and clinical parameters after parathyroidectomy (PTX) in maintenance hemodialysis patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT), and to analyze the effect of calcium supplementation after PTX on the long-term prognosis of patients.Methods:This study was a single-center retrospective study. The patients who underwent PTX in maintenance hemodialysis patients with SHPT in the Huashan Hospital affiliated to Fudan University from October 2014 to March 2021 were retrospectively enrolled. Total PTX with auto transplantation or total PTX alone were the surgical procedures. According to the postoperative requirement of calcium in the first week, the patients were divided into two groups: high calcium supplement (>16.05 g/week) group and low calcium supplement group (≤16.05 g/week). According to the average serum calcium level in the first week after operation, the patients were divided into hypocalcemia group (≤2.1 mmol/L) and non-hypocalcemia group (>2.1 mmol/L) and the differences of clinical parameters between the two groups were compared. The correlation between clinical parameters and the postoperative calcium requirement was examined through Pearson or Spearman correlation analysis. The influencing factors for hypocalcemia after PTX were examined through logistic regression analysis. The survival curve was made by Kaplan-Meier method, and the difference of cumulative survival rate between the two groups was compared by log-rank test.Results:A total of 98 maintenance hemodialysis patients with SHPT were enrolled. The levels of serum calcium, phosphorus, and intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) after the operation decreased significantly than those of preoperation (all P<0.05). Multiple linear regression analysis showed age ( β=-0.160, P=0.030), iPTH ( β=0.004, P=0.025) and C-reactive protein ( β=0.186, P=0.011) were correlated with postoperative calcium requirement. Preoperative alkaline phosphatase ( OR=1.002, 95% CI 1.000-1.004, P=0.018) and hemoglobin ( OR=0.977, 95% CI 0.954-1.000, P=0.048) independently predicted the occurrence risk of postoperative hypocalcemia through multivariate logistic regression analysis. The recurrence rate of high calcium supplement group was higher than that of low calcium supplement group (10.26% vs 0, P=0.023) and there was no significant difference in all-cause mortality between the two groups (17.95% vs 5.08%, P=0.086). The recurrence rate between the hypocalcemia group and non-hypocalcemia group was no significantly different (8.3% vs 1.8%, P=0.451) and there was no significant difference in all cause mortality between the two groups (12.5% vs 12.7%, P=1.000). Kaplan-Meier survival curve showed that the cumulative survival rate between the two groups was no significantly different (log-rank test χ2=0.147, P=0.702). Conclusions:PTX is a safe and effective therapeutic method to reduce the level of iPTH and improve the metabolism of calcium and phosphorus in SHPT patients. Age, iPTH and C-reactive protein are correlated with the postoperative requirement of calcium in the first week. Preoperative alkaline phosphatase and hemoglobin are independent risk factors for postoperative hypocalcemia. Correcting preoperative electrolyte disorder, improving infection and anemia can reduce the incidence of hypocalcemia after PTX.
