Toxoplasma gondii is an intracellular protozoan pathogen with a global distribution,and dogs are considered a potential risk factor for human toxoplasmosis.This study was aimed at systematically analyzing the epidemiological characteris-tics of canine T.gondii infection in China from 1987 to 2023,to provide a scientific basis for the prevention and control of T.gondii in the country.Epidemiological data on canine T.gondii infections in China from 1987 to 2023 were retrieved from PubMed,China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI),Wanfang Database,and Baidu Scholar.A database was established with Excel,and the data were visualized with ArcGIS 10.2 software.Statistical analysis was performed in SPSS 26.0 software,and group differences were analyzed with the X2 test.A P-value of＜0.05 was considered statistically significant.From 1987 to 2023,the overall seroprevalence of T.gondii antibodies in dogs in China remained stable,and the overall sero-prevalence rate was 13.97％.Yunnan Province had the highest seroprevalence,at 27.65％,whereas Shaanxi Province had the lowest seroprevalence,at 0.56％.Significant differences were observed among provinces(P＜0.05).Epidemiological data on canine T.gondii infections were not available for some regions.The seroprevalence in southwestern China was significantly higher than that in other regions(P＜0.05).A comparison of the seroprevalence between 1987-2004 and 2005-2023 revealed significant differences(P＜0.05).Canine T.gondii infection is widespread in China and shows a stable epidemic cycle.Appro-priate prevention and control measures should be implemented,along with strengthened surveillance of T.gondii outbreaks.Public education on the prevention and control of toxoplasmosis should be enhanced to decrease transmission risk and safeguard public health.

Cancer is the main cause of death,and drug therapy has greatly improved the effectiveness of anti-tumor treatment.However,there are problems such as high adverse reactions and the risk of developing drug resistance after long-term use.There is an urgent need to seek new drug targets.Human antigen R(HuR),as an RNA binding protein,promotes the whole process of tumor occurrence,development and metastasis through post transcriptional regulation of mRNA stability,and HuR is general-ly highly expressed in tumor tissue,making it a new target for an-ti-tumor therapy and a standard for prognosis evaluation.Tradi-tional Chinese medicine formulas and their various chemical components can inhibit tumor proliferation,induce tumor cell ap-optosis,inhibit angiogenesis,suppress immune escape,and re-verse tumor drug resistance by regulating HuR activity.This re-view summarizes the importance of HuR in regulation of tumor progression,as well as analyzes the mechanisms of the antitumor effects through active ingredients of Chinese medicine with the regulation of HuR.It is expected to provide new ideas for tumor therapy and guidance for the development of HuR-targeted anti-tumor drugs.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of blinatumomab in adult patients with relapsed/refractory(R/R)or measurable residual disease(MRD)positive B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia(B-ALL)in the real world.Methods:The clinical data of 30 B-ALL patients received at least 1 course of blinatumomab therapy in the Chinese PLA General Hospital from January 1st,2021 to December 31st,2023 were retrospectively analyzed,including pre-treatment baseline clinical feature,post-treatment complete response(CR),CR with partial hematologic recovery(CRh),CR with incomplete hematologic recovery(CRi),complete MRD response rate,MRD response rate(MRD＜10-4),overall survival(OS),and disease-free survival(DFS),as well as drug-related adverse reactions.Results:Among 5 patients who were not assessed 4 were MRD negative and 1 did not receive bone marrow biopsy.In the R/R B-ALL group(13 cases),11 patients achieved CR/CRh/CRi and 10 patients achieved complete MRD response.In MRD+group(12 cases),9 patients achieved overall MRD response and 7 patients achieved complete MRD response.The median follow-up time was 8.4(95％CI:6.3-10.4)months.The median OS was 15.5(95％CI:0.7-30.3)months in the R/R group,while not reached in the MRD+group.The median DFS of the two groups were not reached.Drug-related adverse reactions occurred in 22 patients,and pyrexia was the most common(13 cases).Grade ≥3 adverse reactions occurred in 15 patients,and neutropenia was the most common(9 cases).Cytokine release syndrome occurred in 6 patients,including 5 cases with grade 1 and 1 case with grade 3.No patients interrupted therapy or died due to drug-related adverse reactions.Conclusion:Blinatumomab is effective in the treatment of R/R or continuous MRD+B-ALL with acceptable adverse reactions.

Objective:To analyze the predictive role of WT1 expression levels pre-and early post-transplantation on relapse and overall survival(OS)in patients with acute myeloid leukemia(AML)undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation(allo-HSCT)during their first complete remission(CR1).Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 107 adult AML patients who underwent allo-HSCT during their CR1 at our center between May 2012 and December 2021.The predictive role of bone marrow WT1 expression levels before transplantation and at 3 and 6 months post-transplantation on relapse and OS was explored in combination with relevant clinical factors.Results:The median follow-up time for the 107 patients was 70(range:11-117)months.Among the patients,15 cases died.Kaplan-Meier survial analysis showed that the 3-year overall survival(OS)rate was 85.0％.20 patients experienced relapse,with a median time to relapse of 8(range:0.5-44)months and a l-year cumulative relapse rate of 13.1％.The overall median value of WT1 before transplantation,3 months after transplantation,and 6 months after transplantation was 0.26％(range:0％-23.64％),with an upper quartile value of 0.74％.No statistically significant differences in WT1 expression levels were observed among the pre-transplantation,3-month post-transplantation,and 6-month post-transplantation time points(P=0.227).Univariate analysis showed that patients with WT1 levels＞0.74％at 3 months post-transplantation had a higher 1-year relapse rate(P=0.029)and lower 3-year OS rate(P＜0.001)compared to patients with WT1 levels ≤0.74％.Other significant factors affecting 1-year relapse included stem cell source(P=0.041)and chronic graft-versus-host disease(cGVHD)(P=0.013).For 3-year OS,additional influencing factors were genetic high risk(P=0.048)and stem cell source(P=0.016).Multivariate analysis revealed that WT1 level＞0.74％at 3 months post-transplantation had a trend to affect 1-year relapse rate(HR=3.309,95％CI:0.958-11.431,P=0.058),while the absence of cGVHD was an independent risk factor for 1-year relapse(HR=3.473,95％CI:0.749-16.100,P=0.037).Only WT1 level＞0.74％at 3 months post-transplantation was an independent risk factor for 3-year OS(HR=6.886,95％CI:2.402-19.738,P＜0.001).Conclusion:High WT1 expression level at 3 months post-transplantation in AML patients undergoing allo-HSCT during CR1 affects the 1-year relapse rate and 3-year OS,and is an independent risk factor affecting 3-year OS.These findings suggest that dynamic monitoring of WT1 expression levels has certain value in prognostic assessment of AML patients who received allo-HSCT during CR1.

Objective:To analyze the expression of serum lysyl oxidase like protein 4(LOXL4)and protein tyrosine phosphatase non receptor type 3(PTPN3)in patients with colorectal cancer and their relationship with postoperative liver metastasis.Methods:Totally 137 patients with colorectal cancer who visited Qingdao Central Hospital,University of Health and Rehabilitation Science from April 2017 to December 2019 were recruited as the cancer group.Complying with whether liver metastasis occurred during the follow-up period of 5 years,the patients were classified into the liver metastasis group(27 cases)and the non liver metastasis group(110 cases).Another 137 healthy individuals who underwent physical check ups were recruited as the control group.The qRT-PCR method was used to detect the ex-pression levels of serum LOXL4 and PTPN3 mRNAs.The serum LOXL4 and PTPN3 mRNAs were compared under dif-ferent clinical pathological data,and the pathological data of liver metastasis group and non liver metastasis group were compared.Cox regression analysis was used to explore the influencing factors of postoperative liver metastasis in pa-tients with colorectal cancer.ROC curve was used to explore the predictive value of serum LOXL4 and PTPN3 for postoperative liver metastasis in patients with colorectal cancer.Results:Compared with the control group,the can-cer group had higher levels of serum LOXL4 and PTPN3 mRNAs expression(P<0.05).Compared with patients with medium to high differentiation,infiltration depth≤1/2 muscle layer,and TNM stage I-II,patients with low differentia-tion,infiltration depth>1/2 muscle layer,and TNM stage III had higher levels of serum LOXL4 and PTPN3 mRNAs ex-pression(P<0.05).Compared with the non liver metastasis group,the liver metastasis group had higher levels of se-rum LOXL4 and PTPN3 mRNAs expression(P<0.05).High expression of serum LOXL4 and PTPN3 mRNAs were risk factors for liver metastasis after colorectal cancer surgery(P<0.05).Compared with the single prediction of serum LOXL4 and PTPN3 mRNAs,the AUC of serum LOXL4 combined with PTPN3 in predicting postoperative liver metasta-sis in colorectal cancer patients was higher(P<0.05).Conclusion:Serum LOXL4 and PTPN3 mRNAs expression lev-els are abnormally elevated in patients with colorectal cancer,which is related to the deterioration of pathological data such as differentiation degree,infiltration depth,and TNM staging.Elevated serum LOXL4 and PTPN3 mRNAs expres-sion levels may increase the risk of postoperative liver metastasis in patients,and the combination has higher predic-tive value for postoperative liver metastasis.

A pyrene-phenol-based fluorescent probe PyP which showed typical intramolecular charge transfer(ICT)and monomer-excimer activities was synthesized by using pyrene carboxaldehyde hydrazone and 4-tert-butyl-2,6-diformylphenol as the raw materials.The effects of solvents on PyP were studied,and the results showed that the color of protic polar solvents(Ethanol,N,N-dimethylformamide,methanol and H2O)were successfully identified.Based on the solvent polarity-regulated PyP monomer-excimer switching,the rapid and highly sensitive ratiometric probe,"Turn-off"and"Turn-on"multimodal probes were established for detection of trace water content in organic solvents(Dimethyl sulfoxide,N,N-dimethylformamide,ethanol and methanol),with detection limits(3σ/k)of 0.0021％,0.046％,0.062％and 0.024％.The method was successfully used to detect water content in dimethyl sulfoxide,N,N-dimethy lformamide,ethanol and methanol commercial organic solvents,with recoveries ranging from 97.2％to 108.0％.The developed method showed good accuracy and stability,and had good application prospect.
