Objective To analyze the burden of disease of malignant tumors in Kunshan City from 2006 to 2021. Methods The global burden of disease research methodology was applied. The indicators of cancer incidence, mortality, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) in Kunshan were calculated using the data from the Tumor Registry System and Death Registry System in Kunshan. The changes in cancer were compared. Results In 2021, the number of incidences and deaths and the DALYs of cancer were 4724 cases, 1618 cases, and 20887.90 person-years, respectively. The incidence, mortality, and DALYs rates were 427.42/100000, 146.39/100000, and 18.90‰. Compared with those in 2006, the incidence rate increased by 53.40%, and the mortality and DALYs rates decreased by 24.23% and 25.73%, respectively. The DALYs rate of cancer was higher for males than for females at 22.12‰ and 15.91‰ in 2021, respectively. The DALYs rate increased with age, and it started to increase sharply after 45 years of age. The top 10 cancers in 2021 in terms of DALYs were lung cancer, stomach cancer, colorectal cancer, liver cancer, pancreatic cancer, breast cancer, leukemia, esophageal cancer, brain and nervous system cancer, and gallbladder and biliary tract cancer, accounting for 83.83% of all cancers. The proportion of years lived with disability (YLD) in DALYs increased continuously (27% in 2021), with females increasing faster than males. Conclusion The disease burden of cancer in Kunshan City remains high, and the incidence of cancer must be reduced by developing comprehensive measures and continuously strengthening the capacity of early screening and treatment of cancer.

Objective To analyze and compare the disease burden of high BMI in Kunshan City in different periods, and to provide a scientific basis for the prevention and control of overweight and obesity in Kunshan City. Methods Using the global burden of disease research method, the number of deaths attributable to high BMI and attributable YLL in Kunshan City were calculated using the survey data of chronic diseases and their risk factors and the data of the death registration system in Kunshan City. Results In 2023, R5.46% of deaths in Kunshan City were attributed to high BMI, with 345 attributable deaths, and attributable mortality rate and standardized attributable mortality rate were 39.16/100 000 and 33.82/100 000, Rrespectively. Attributable YLL rate and standardized attributable YLL rate were 692.35/100 000 and 604.46/100 000, respectively. High BMI caused a loss of 0.52 years of life expectancy per capita. Compared with 2012, PAF, standardized attributable mortality rate, standardized attributable YLL rate and life expectancy loss per capita of high BMI in 2023 increased by 121.95%, 100.71%, 57.05%, and 100%, respectively. Among different genders, PAF increased by 91.05% for males and 161.97% for females from 2012 to 2023. Among different diseases, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and cancers had the highest attributable disease burden, while diabetes, chronic kidney disease and Alzheimer's disease all had a significant increase. Conclusion The burden of disease attributable to high BMI has risen dramatically in Kunshan City, and the adverse health effects of overweight and obesity need to be reduced through scientific weight loss and comprehensive practical measures.

Atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor (AT/RT) is a rare malignancy located primarily in infratentorial or subcortical areas with a poor prognosis, and rarely in the lateral ventricle with a very poor prognosis. So far, only 6 cases of AT/RT in lateral ventricle have been reported in China. This article reports the diagnosis and treatment of four children with AT/RT in the lateral ventricle, and discusses the clinical manifestations, differentiation and diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of the disease through literature review, in order to improve clinicians' understanding of the disease and reduce missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis.

Objective To analyze the hotspots and developments in the field of language model-assisted artificial intelli-gence(Al)for antibody design and optimization in order to provide reference for research on development of antibodies.Methods By using CiteSpace software,hotspots of research were analyzed based on literature retrieved from the Web of Science,PubMed,and Scopus databases,focusing on three pivotal areas of research related to antibody design and optimization:the construction of pre-trained language models for antibodies,the generation of antibody sequences,and the prediction of three-dimensional structures of antibodies.In addition,this analysis reviewed the major advances in each of the specified research tasks,focusing on the delineation of similarities and differences across studies and dominating challenges in this field.Results From 2019(10 publications)to 2023(89 publications),the scale of and interest in this field kept increasing.Hotspots involved leveraging language models to assist the design or optimization of humanized,high-affinity,and highly specific antibodies.Within each research,methods were characterized by the diversity of model architectures,consistency of training data,and variations in training strategies.Challenges to the field included sparse antigen data,computational power limitations,and insufficient integration of wet and dry lab experiments.Conclusion Research in language model-assisted Al antibody design and optimization is gaining momentum and proves fruitful.However,researchers should be alert to the inadequate attention to antigen-antibody interactions and insufficient integration of experimental and computational validation,conduct more in-depth research and expand applications.

Objective:To investigate the early clinical characteristics of elderly patients with severe burns and the risk factors on prognosis.Methods:This study was a retrospective case series study. Clinical data of 124 elderly patients with severe burns who met the inclusion criteria and were admitted to the 12 hospitals from January 2015 to December 2020 were collected, including 4 patients from the Fourth People's Hospital of Dalian, 5 patients from Fujian Medical University Union Hospital, 22 patients from Guangzhou Red Cross Hospital of Jinan University, 5 patients from Heilongjiang Provincial Hospital, 27 patients from the First Affiliated Hospital of Naval Medical University, 9 patients from the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University, 10 patients from Affiliated Hospital of Nantong University, 9 patients from Tongren Hospital of Wuhan University & Wuhan Third Hospital, 12 patients from the 924 th Hospital of PLA, 6 patients from Zhangjiagang First People's Hospital, 4 patients from Taizhou Hospital of Zhejiang Province, and 11 patients from Zhengzhou First People's Hospital. The patients' overall clinical characteristics, such as gender, age, body mass index, total burn area, full-thickness burn area, inhalation injury, causative factors, whether combined with underlying medical diseases, and admission time after injury were recorded. According to the survival outcome within 28 days after injury, the patients were divided into survival group (89 cases) and death group (35 cases). The following data of patients were compared between the two groups, including the basic data and injuries (the same as the overall clinical characteristics ahead); the coagulation indexes within the first 24 hours of injury such as prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), thrombin time, D-dimer, fibrinogen degradation product (FDP), international normalized ratio (INR), and fibrinogen; the blood routine indexes within the first 24 hours of injury such as white blood cell count, platelet count, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, monocyte count, red blood cell count, hemoglobin, and hematocrit; the organ function indexes within the first 24 hours of injury such as direct bilirubin, total bilirubin, urea, serum creatinine, aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, total protein, albumin, globulin, blood glucose, triglyceride, total cholesterol, alkaline phosphatase, creatine kinase, electrolyte indexes (potassium, sodium, chlorine, calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus in blood), uric acid, myoglobin, and brain natriuretic peptide; the infection and blood gas indexes within the first 24 hours of injury such as procalcitonin, C-reactive protein, pH value, oxygenation index, base excess, and lactate; treatment such as whether conducted with mechanical ventilation, whether conducted with continuous renal replacement therapy, whether conducted with anticoagulation therapy, whether applied with vasoactive drugs, and fluid resuscitation. The analysis was conducted to screen the independent risk factors for the mortality within 28 days after injury in elderly patients with severe burns. Results:Among 124 patients, there were 82 males and 42 females, aged 60-97 years, with body mass index of 23.44 (21.09, 25.95) kg/m 2, total burn area of 54.00% (42.00%, 75.00%) total body surface area (TBSA), and full-thickness burn area of 25.00% (10.00%, 40.00%) TBSA. The patients were mainly combined with moderate to severe inhalation injury and caused by flame burns. There were 43 cases with underlying medical diseases. The majority of patients were admitted to the hospital within 8 hours after injury. There were statistically significant differences between patients in the 2 groups in terms of age, total burn area, full-thickness burn area, and inhalation injury, and PT, APTT, D-dimer, FDP, INR, white blood cell count, platelet count, urea, serum creatinine, blood glucose, blood sodium, uric acid, myoglobin, and urine volume within the first 24 hours of injury (with Z values of 2.37, 5.49, 5.26, 5.97, 2.18, 1.95, 2.68, 2.68, 2.51, 2.82, 2.14, 3.40, 5.31, 3.41, 2.35, 3.81, 2.16, and -3.82, respectively, P<0.05); there were statistically significant differences between two groups of patients in whether conducted with mechanical ventilation and whether applied with vasoactive drugs (with χ2 values of 9.44 and 28.50, respectively, P<0.05). Age, total burn area, full-thickness burn area, serum creatinine within the first 24 hours of injury, and APTT within the first 24 hours of injury were the independent risk factors for the mortality within 28 days after injury in elderly patients with severe burns (with odds ratios of 1.17, 1.10, 1.10, 1.09, and 1.27, 95% confidence intervals of 1.03-1.40, 1.04-1.21, 1.05-1.19, 1.05-1.17, and 1.07-1.69, respectively, P<0.05). Conclusions:The elderly patients with severe burns had the injuries mainly from flame burns, often accompanied by moderate to severe inhalation injury and enhanced inflammatory response, elevated blood glucose levels, activated fibrinolysis, and impaired organ function in the early stage, which are associated with their prognosis. Age, total burn area, full-thickness burn area, and serum creatinine and APTT within the first 24 hours of injury are the independent risk factors for death within 28 days after injury in this population.

Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common and aggressive malignant brain tumor in adults and is poorly controlled. Previous studies have shown that both macrophages and angiogenesis play significant roles in GBM progression, and co-targeting of CSF1R and VEGFR is likely to be an effective strategy for GBM treatment. Therefore, this study developed a novel and selective inhibitor of CSF1R and VEGFR, SYHA1813, possessing potent antitumor activity against GBM. SYHA1813 inhibited VEGFR and CSF1R kinase activities with high potency and selectivity and thus blocked the cell viability of HUVECs and macrophages and exhibited anti-angiogenetic effects both in vitro and in vivo. SYHA1813 also displayed potent in vivo antitumor activity against GBM in immune-competent and immune-deficient mouse models, including temozolomide (TMZ) insensitive tumors. Notably, SYHA1813 could penetrate the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and prolong the survival time of mice bearing intracranial GBM xenografts. Moreover, SYHA1813 treatment resulted in a synergistic antitumor efficacy in combination with the PD-1 antibody. As a clinical proof of concept, SYHA1813 achieved confirmed responses in patients with recurrent GBM in an ongoing first-in-human phase I trial. The data of this study support the rationale for an ongoing phase I clinical study (ChiCTR2100045380).

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of mitoxantrone hydrochloride liposome injection in the treatment of peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) in a real-world setting.Methods:This was a real-world ambispective cohort study (MOMENT study) (Chinese clinical trial registry number: ChiCTR2200062067). Clinical data were collected from 198 patients who received mitoxantrone hydrochloride liposome injection as monotherapy or combination therapy at 37 hospitals from January 2022 to January 2023, including 166 patients in the retrospective cohort and 32 patients in the prospective cohort; 10 patients in the treatment-na?ve group and 188 patients in the relapsed/refractory group. Clinical characteristics, efficacy and adverse events were summarized, and the overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were analyzed.Results:All 198 patients were treated with mitoxantrone hydrochloride liposome injection for a median of 3 cycles (range 1-7 cycles); 28 cases were treated with mitoxantrone hydrochloride liposome injection as monotherapy, and 170 cases were treated with the combination regimen. Among 188 relapsed/refractory patients, 45 cases (23.9%) were in complete remission (CR), 82 cases (43.6%) were in partial remission (PR), and 28 cases (14.9%) were in disease stabilization (SD), and 33 cases (17.6%) were in disease progression (PD), with an objective remission rate (ORR) of 67.6% (127/188). Among 10 treatment-na?ve patients, 4 cases (40.0%) were in CR, 5 cases (50.0%) were in PR, and 1 case (10.0%) was in PD, with an ORR of 90.0% (9/10). The median follow-up time was 2.9 months (95% CI 2.4-3.7 months), and the median PFS and OS of patients in relapsed/refractory and treatment-na?ve groups were not reached. In relapsed/refractory patients, the difference in ORR between patients with different number of treatment lines of mitoxantrone hydrochloride liposome injection [ORR of the second-line, the third-line and ≥the forth-line treatment was 74.4% (67/90), 73.9% (34/46) and 50.0% (26/52)] was statistically significant ( P = 0.008). Of the 198 PTCL patients, 182 cases (91.9%) experienced at least 1 time of treatment-related adverse events, and the incidence rate of ≥grade 3 adverse events was 66.7% (132/198), which was mainly characterized by hematologic adverse events. The ≥ grade 3 hematologic adverse events mainly included decreased lymphocyte count, decreased neutrophil count, decreased white blood cell count, and anemia; non-hematologic adverse events were mostly grade 1-2, mainly including pigmentation disorders and upper respiratory tract infection. Conclusions:The use of mitoxantrone hydrochloride liposome injection-containing regimen in the treatment of PTCL has definite efficacy and is well tolerated, and it is a new therapeutic option for PTCL patients.
