ObjectivePancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) exhibits a limited response to current treatments due to its dense fibrotic stroma and highly immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. In recent years, advancements in cellular immunotherapy, particularly chimeric antigen receptor macrophage (CAR-M) therapy, have offered new hope for pancreatic cancer treatment. Although CAR-M therapy demonstrates dual potential in directly killing tumor cells and remodeling the immune microenvironment, it still faces challenges such as complex in vitro preparation processes and low in vivo targeting and delivery efficiency. Therefore, developing strategies for efficient and targeted in vivo delivery of CAR genes has become crucial for overcoming current therapeutic limitations. This study aims to develop an orally administrable nano-gene delivery system for the targeted delivery of CAR genes to pancreatic tumor sites. MethodsCore nano-gene particles (PNP/pCAR) were constructed by loading plasmid DNA encoding CAR (pCAR) with cationic polypeptides (PNP). Subsequently, PNP/pCAR was surface-modified with β-glucan to prepare the targeted nanoparticles (βGlus-PNP/pCAR). The loading efficiency of PNP for pCAR was quantitatively assessed by gel retardation assay. The particle size, Zeta potential, morphology, and storage stability of PNP/pCAR were characterized using a Malvern particle size analyzer and transmission electron microscopy. At the cellular level, RAW 264.7 macrophages were selected. The cytotoxicity of PNP/pCAR was evaluated using the CCK-8 assay. The cellular uptake efficiency and lysosomal escape ability of the nanoparticles were assessed via flow cytometry and confocal microscopy. Transfection efficiency was quantitatively evaluated by detecting the expression of the reporter gene GFP using flow cytometry. At the in vivo level, an orthotopic pancreatic cancer mouse model was established. Cy7-labeled βGlus-PNP/pCAR nanoparticles were administered orally, and the fluorescence distribution in mice was dynamically monitored at 1, 2, 4, 8, and 16 h post-administration using a small animal in vivo imaging system. Forty-eight hours after oral gavage, the mice were euthanized, and pancreatic tumor tissues were collected for further analysis of intratumoral fluorescence signals using the imaging system. Additionally, βGlus-PNP/pCAR-GFP nanoparticles loaded with the reporter gene (GFP) were administered orally. Forty-eight hours post-administration, pancreatic tumor tissues were harvested to prepare frozen sections, and GFP expression was observed and analyzed under a fluorescence microscope. ResultsThe PNP carrier exhibited a high loading capacity for pCAR. The successfully prepared PNP/pCAR nanoparticles were regular spheres with a hydrodynamic diameter of approximately (120±10) nm and a Zeta potential of about +(6±1) mV. They maintained good structural stability after incubation in PBS buffer for 7 d. Cell experiments demonstrated that PNP/pCAR exhibited no significant cytotoxicity in RAW 264.7 cells while being efficiently internalized and effectively escaping lysosomal degradation. The transfection positive rate of PNP/pCAR-GFP in RAW 264.7 cells reached (25±3)%, surpassing that of Lipofectamine 2000-loaded pCAR-GFP (Lipo/pCAR-GFP), which was (20±1)%.In vivo experiments revealed that, compared to unmodified PNP/pCAR, βGlus-PNP/pCAR exhibited strongerin situ pancreatic tumor targeting ability after oral administration. Furthermore, oral administration of βGlus-PNP/pCAR-GFP resulted in significant GFP protein expression detectable within pancreatic tumor tissues. ConclusionThis study successfully constructed and validated an orally administrable, pancreatic cancer-targeting polypeptide-based nano-gene delivery system. It provides an important technological foundation in delivery systems and experimental basis for the subsequent development of in situ CAR-M-based therapeutic strategies for pancreatic cancer.

Neurological disorders, including Alzheimer’s disease (AD), Parkinson’s disease (PD), cerebral ischemia, and multiple sclerosis (MS), impose an escalating global health burden and remain largely incurable. These disorders arise from multifactorial and interconnected pathological processes, such as chronic neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, protein misfolding and aggregation, demyelination, and neurovascular dysfunction. Despite substantial advances in elucidating disease-associated molecular mechanisms, current therapeutic strategies are predominantly symptomatic and fail to effectively halt or reverse disease progression. This limitation highlights the urgent need to identify endogenous regulatory molecules capable of coordinating neuronal survival, synaptic maintenance, inflammatory control, and tissue repair within the central nervous system (CNS). Pleiotrophin (PTN) is a heparin-binding, growth-associated cytokine that has emerged as a key regulator of neural development, plasticity, and regeneration. Structurally, PTN contains multiple high-affinity heparin-binding domains that facilitate interactions with extracellular matrix components and cell surface proteoglycans, enabling spatially restricted and context-dependent signaling. Through these molecular properties, PTN functions as a multifunctional organizer of neural growth, plasticity, and tissue remodeling across developmental and adult stages. Its diverse biological effects are executed through a multi-receptor signaling system that integrates extracellular cues with intracellular programs governing cellular survival, migration, and differentiation. Notably, PTN displays a highly dynamic and cell type-specific expression pattern in the central nervous system, being enriched in neural progenitor cells during development and later restricted to discrete neuronal populations, neural stem cells, and non-neuronal niche cells—including astrocytes, pericytes, and vascular endothelial cells—which serve as critical sources of PTN under physiological and pathological conditions. PTN expression is tightly regulated during development and exhibits pronounced plasticity in response to pathological stimuli. Under physiological conditions, PTN is transiently expressed during critical windows of neural growth and synaptogenesis, supporting neuron-glia interactions and myelin formation. In contrast, in pathological contexts such as amyloid β-protein (Aβ) accumulation in AD, dopaminergic neuron degeneration in PD, demyelination in MS, and ischemic brain injury, PTN expression is frequently dysregulated, suggesting an active role in disease-associated remodeling rather than a passive bystander effect. Importantly, accumulating evidence indicates that PTN exerts a dual and context-dependent influence on neurological disorders. On the one hand, aberrant PTN signaling may contribute to maladaptive responses, including sustained glial activation, dysregulated neuroinflammation, extracellular matrix remodeling, and enhanced Aβ deposition. On the other hand, PTN displays robust neuroprotective and reparative functions by promoting neuronal survival, enhancing oligodendrocyte maturation and remyelination, and stimulating post-injury angiogenesis, thereby facilitating tissue repair and functional recovery. At the mechanistic level, PTN signaling is characterized by extensive cross-talk among receptor-dependent pathways. Activation of anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) triggers canonical PI3K-AKT-mTOR and MAPK cascades that support neuronal survival and axonal integrity. PTN binding to protein tyrosine phosphatase receptor type Z1 (PTPRZ1) induces conformational inhibition of its phosphatase activity, resulting in increased phosphorylation of downstream effectors such as β-catenin, Fyn, and Src, which regulate neuronal migration and synaptic stabilization. Syndecan-3 (SDC3) functions as both a co-receptor and an independent signaling mediator by capturing extracellular PTN, amplifying ALK- and PTPRZ1-dependent signaling, and directly modulating cytoskeletal dynamics through PKC and ERK pathways. In parallel, PTN interaction with αVβ3 integrin contributes to remodeling of the neurovascular niche, linking angiogenesis with neurogenesis and neural repair. From a translational perspective, therapeutic strategies targeting PTN can be broadly classified into 3 categories: direct enhancement of PTN signaling through exogenous protein supplementation or gene therapy-mediated upregulation, pharmacological modulation of PTN-associated receptor pathways and downstream signaling nodes, and exploitation of PTN as a dynamic biomarker to inform disease stratification and therapeutic responsiveness. These complementary approaches underscore the growing interest in PTN-centered interventions across a spectrum of neurological disorders. In summary, PTN functions not merely as a classical trophic factor but as a central signaling hub integrating inflammatory regulation, neural regeneration, and vascular remodeling within the CNS. This review aims to synthesize current insights into PTN’s molecular architecture, multi-receptor signaling mechanisms, and disease-specific functions, and to highlight emerging therapeutic strategies targeting PTN. By conceptualizing PTN as a dynamic modulator of neuronal resilience rather than a static biomarker, we propose that precise modulation of PTN signaling may offer promising avenues for therapeutic development in neurodegenerative and neuroinflammatory diseases.

Objective:To explore the grouping and standard cost of malignant tumors chemotherapy patients under the diagnosis-intervention packet (DIP) system based on the decision tree model, for references for optimizing the detailed grouping scheme of this disease.Methods:The data of the first page of medical records of malignant tumors chemotherapy patients in a tertiary hospital in 2022 were collected. Univariate analysis and multiple linear regression were used to analyze the influencing factors of patients′ hospitalization expenses. The Chi squared automatic interaction detection was used to construct the decision tree model to obtain the case grouping scheme and its standard expenses. The coefficient of variation and chi-square test were used to evaluate the grouping effect.Results:A total of 27 235 patients were included in this study. The number of surgical operations, length of hospital stay, gender, the number of other diagnoses, chemotherapy pathways and targeted therapy were taken as classification nodes and included in the decision tree model. A total of 13 groups were formed. The homogeneity within the groups was good(CV<0.70), and the heterogeneity between the groups was strong( χ2= 9 564.65, P<0.001). Conclusions:Based on the decision tree model, the grouping scheme for chemotherapy cases of malignant tumors was established by comprehensively considering factors such as surgical operations within the group, length of hospital stay, other diagnostic and chemotherapy pathways is relatively reasonable, which could provide references for relevant management departments to optimize the detailed grouping scheme of this disease and formulate relevant payment standards.

Objective:To investigate the laboratory diagnostic value of 5 new blood routine indexes in chronic hepatitis B (CHB), liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).Methods:The retrospective study included 65 patients with chronic HBV infection, 72 patients with liver cirrhosis and 163 patients with HCC recruited at Liver Disease Center in First Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University, as well as 52 healthy controls recruited from the Physical Examination Center of the First Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University from October 2022 to April 2023. Five new parameters [early granulated cell percent (EGC%), early granulated cell absolute count (EGC#), microcytic anemia factor (MAF), leukocyte estimate(corrected)from the DIFF optical channel (WDOP) and leukocyte estimate(corrected)from the NRBC optical channel (WNOP)] were detected by UniCel DxH 900 blood cell analyzer. Univariate analysis of the expression levels of the 5 new parameterswere compared among CHB, liver cirrhosis and HCC groups. Pearson correlation analysis was used to explore the correlation between the 5 new parameters and HBV-related markers in CHB and Child-Pugh score in liver cirrhosis. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and AUC were used to estimate the diagnostic capacity of the 5 new blood routine indexes in CHB, liver cirrhosis and HCC.Results:In patients with CHB, the levels of EGC% ( Z=4.613, P<0.001) and EGC# ( Z=4.220, P<0.001) were higher than those of healthy controls; EGC# was positively correlated with HBsAg and HBeAg (both P<0.05). In patients with cirrhosis, the level of MAF ( Z=-4.928, P<0.001) was lower than that of healthy controls, and Child-Pugh score was found to be negatively correlated with MAF ( r=-0.349, P<0.05). In HCC patients, WDOP ( Z=2.45, P=0.017) and WNOP ( Z=2.90, P=0.017) levels were higher in patients with tumor volume>3 cm 3 than those in patients with volume ≤3 cm 3. The AUCs of combination of 5 new parameters to diagnose CHB, liver cirrhosis and HCC were 0.901 (95% CI 0.830-0.973, P<0.001), 0.946 (95% CI 0.909-0.984, P<0.001), and 0.904 (95% CI 0.858-0.950, P<0.001). Conclusions:The 5 new parameters based on peripheral blood cell analysis have good clinical value in the diagnosis of CHB, liver cirrhosis and HCC diseases.

Objective To summarize the clinical and genetic characteristics of end-stage renal disease caused by PLCE1 gene mutations.Methods A retrospective analysis of the clinical and genetic features of three children from a family with PLCE1 gene mutations was conducted,along with a literature review of hereditary kidney disease cases caused by PLCE1 gene mutations.Results The proband was an 8-year-old male presenting with nephrotic syndrome stage 4 chronic kidney disease.Renal biopsy showed focal segmental glomerulosclerosis.Two years and five months after kidney transplantation,the patient had persistent negative proteinuria and normal renal function.Whole-exome sequencing identified two pathogenic heterozygous variants:c.961C>T and c.3255_3256delinsT,with c.3255_3256delinsT being a novel mutation.Family screening revealed no renal involvement in the parents,but among five siblings,one brother died at age of 4 years from end-stage renal disease.A 7-year-old sister presented with proteinuria and bilateral medullary sponge kidney,with proteinuria resolving after one year of follow-up.A 3-year-old brother died after kidney transplantation due to severe pneumonia.The literature review included 45 patients with hereditary kidney disease caused by PLCE1 gene mutations.The main clinical phenotype was nephrotic syndrome(87%,39/45),and renal pathology predominantly showed focal segmental glomerulosclerosis(57%,16/28).No mutation hotspots were identified.Conclusions Compound heterozygous mutations in the PLCE1 gene can lead to rapid progression of the disease to end-stage renal disease,with favorable outcomes following kidney transplantation.Family screening is crucial for early diagnosis,and medullary sponge kidney may be a novel phenotype associated with these gene mutations.Citaion:[Chinese Journal of Contemporary Pediatrics,2025,27(5):580-587]

Objective To investigate the trends in the global burden due to cystic echinococcosis from 1990 to 2021, and to predict the global burden of cystic echinococcosis from 2022 to 2035, so as to provide insights into formulation of the cystic echinococcosis control strategy. Methods The global age-standardized prevalence, mortality, disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) rates and their 95% uncertainty intervals (UI) of cystic echinococcosis from 1990 to 2021 were captured from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021 (GBD 2021) database, and the trends in the global burden of cystic echinococcosis from 1990 to 2021 were analyzed using the Joinpoint regression model. The associations between the global burden of cystic echinococcosis and socio-demographic index (SDI) were examined using a smoothing spline model and frontier analysis, and the global burden of cystic echinococcosis was projected from 2022 to 2035 using the Bayesian age-period-cohort (BAPC) model. Results The global agestandardized prevalence, mortality and DALYs rates of cystic echinococcosis were 7.69/10⁵ [95% UI: (6.27/10⁵, 9.51/10⁵)], 0.02/10⁵ [95% UI: (0.01/10⁵, 0.02/10⁵)], and 1.32/10⁵ [95% UI: (0.99/10⁵, 1.69/10⁵)] in 2021. The global age-standardized prevalence of cystic echinococcosis appeared a tendency towards a rise by 0.14% per year from 1990 to 2021, and the global age-standardized mortality and DALYs rates of cystic echinococcosis appeared a tendency towards a decline by 4.68% and 4.01% per year from 1990 to 2021, respectively. Joinpoint regression analysis showed that global age-standardized prevalence of cystic echinococcosis appeared a tendency towards a decline from 1990 to 2000 [annual percent change (APC) = −0.66%, 95% confidence interval (CI): (−0.70%, −0.61%)] and from 2005 to 2015 [APC = −0.88%, 95% CI: (−0.93%, −0.82%)], and towards a rise from 2000 to 2005 [APC = 3.68%, 95% CI: (3.49%, 3.87%)] and from 2015 to 2021 [APC=0.30%, 95%CI: (0.19%, 0.40%)].Theagestandardized prevalence (r = −0.17, P < 0.05), mortality (r = −0.67, P < 0.05) and DALYs rates of cystic echinococcosis (r = −0.60, P < 0.05) all correlated negatively with SDI across 21 geographical regions from 1990 to 2021, and the age-standardized mortality (r = −0.61, P < 0.05) and DALYs rates (r = −0.44, P < 0.05) both correlated negatively with SDI across 204 countries and territories in 2021. Frontier analysis revealed that the age-standardized DALYs rate of cystic echinococcosis was still not in line with the frontier in some high-SDI countries or territories. In addition, the global age-standardized prevalence was projected with the BAPC model to appear a tendency towards a rise among both men [estimated annual percent change (EAPC) = 0.18%, 95% CI: (0.13%, 0.23%)] and women [EAPC = 0.29%, 95% CI: (0.24%, 0.34%)] from 2022 to 2035, and the global age-standardized mortality [men: EAPC = −4.71%, 95% CI: (−4.71%, −4.37%); women: EAPC = −4.74%, 95% CI: (−4.74%, −4.74%)] and DALYs rates [men: EAPC = −3.35%, 95% CI: (−3.36%, −3.34%); women: EAPC = −3.17%, 95% CI: (−3.18%, −3.16%)] were projected to appear a tendency towards a decline among both men and women. Conclusions The global burden of cystic echinococcosis appeared an overall tendency towards a decline from 1990 to 2021; however, the global prevalence of cystic echinococcosis is projected to appear a tendency towards a rise from 2022 to 2035. Intensified cystic echinococcosis control programmes are recommended.

BACKGROUND: While emotional distress, encompassing anxiety and depression, has been associated with negative clinical outcomes, its impact across various clinical departments and general hospitals has been less explored. Previous studies with limited sample sizes have examined the effectiveness of specific treatments (e.g., antidepressants) rather than a systemic management strategy for outcome improvement in non-psychiatric inpatients. To enhance the understanding of the importance of addressing mental health care needs among non-psychiatric patients in general hospitals, this study retrospectively investigated the impacts of emotional distress and the effects of early detection and management of depression and anxiety on hospital length of stay (LOS) and rate of long LOS (LLOS, i.e., LOS >30 days) in a large sample of non-psychiatric inpatients. METHODS: This retrospective cohort study included 487,871 inpatients from 20 non-psychiatric departments of a general hospital. They were divided, according to whether they underwent a novel strategy to manage emotional distress which deployed the Huaxi Emotional Distress Index (HEI) for brief screening with grading psychological services (BS-GPS), into BS-GPS ( n = 178,883) and non-BS-GPS ( n = 308,988) cohorts. The LOS and rate of LLOS between the BS-GPS and non-BS-GPS cohorts and between subcohorts with and without clinically significant anxiety and/or depression (CSAD, i.e., HEI score ≥11 on admission to the hospital) in the BS-GPS cohort were compared using univariable analyses, multilevel analyses, and/or propensity score-matched analyses, respectively. RESULTS: The detection rate of CSAD in the BS-GPS cohort varied from 2.64% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.49%-2.81%) to 20.50% (95% CI: 19.43%-21.62%) across the 20 departments, with a average rate of 5.36%. Significant differences were observed in both the LOS and LLOS rates between the subcohorts with CSAD (12.7 days, 535/9590) and without CSAD (9.5 days, 3800/169,293) and between the BS-GPS (9.6 days, 4335/178,883) and non-BS-GPS (10.8 days, 11,483/308,988) cohorts. These differences remained significant after controlling for confounders using propensity score-matched comparisons. A multilevel analysis indicated that BS-GPS was negatively associated with both LOS and LLOS after controlling for sociodemographics and the departments of patient discharge and remained negatively associated with LLOS after controlling additionally for the year of patient discharge. CONCLUSION Emotional distress significantly prolonged the LOS and increased the LLOS of non-psychiatric inpatients across most departments and general hospitals. These impacts were moderated by the implementation of BS-GPS. Thus, BS-GPS has the potential as an effective, resource-saving strategy for enhancing mental health care and optimizing medical resources in general hospitals.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of cyclophosphamide in patients with T-cell large granular lymphocytic leukemia (T-LGLL) and the maintenance of treatment-free remission (TFR) following drug discontinuation.Methods:Clinical data were collected from 37 patients with T-LGLL who received oral cyclophosphamide at the Regenerative Medicine Clinic of the Institute of Hematology and Blood Diseases Hospital between June 2019 and March 2024. Patient clinical characteristics, treatment efficacy, and long-term TFR were analyzed.Results:The median age of the 37 patients was 60 years (range: 37-86), and 22 (59.5%) were male. Anemia was observed in 30 patients (81.1%), and 28 (75.7%) met the diagnostic criteria for secondary pure red cell aplasia. Neutropenia occurred in 15 patients (40.5%), lymphocytosis in 11 (29.7%), and thrombocytopenia in three (8.1%). Sixteen patients (43.2%) had not received prior immunosuppressive therapy (treatment-naive group), while 21 patients (56.8%) were refractory to or had relapsed after immunosuppressive treatment (refractory/relapsed group). All patients met the treatment criteria and received oral cyclophosphamide at doses of 50-100 mg/day. Among the 36 evaluable patients, hematologic remission was achieved in 25 (69.4%), with a median time of 2.0 months (range: 0.7-7.0). There was no statistically significant difference in remission rates between the treatment-naive and refractory/relapsed groups (68.5% vs. 66.7%, P=0.589). Among the 25 patients who achieved hematologic remission, 24 discontinued cyclophosphamide. With a median follow-up of 39.0 months (range: 8.0-56.0), the median TFR duration was not reached. The estimated TFR rates were (90.87± 6.16) % at 12 months and (75.72±11.04) % at 36 months. No significant difference in TFR was observed between the treatment-naive and refractory/relapsed groups ( P=0.451) . Conclusion:Oral cyclophosphamide is effective in the treatment of T-LGLL, and patients may maintain long-term TFR following drug discontinuation.
