Tumor lineage plasticity (LP) is an emerging hallmark of cancer progression. Through pharmacologically probing the function of epigenetic regulators in prostate cancer cells and organoids, we identified bromodomain protein BRD4 as a crucial player. Integrated ChIP-seq and RNA-seq analysis of tumors revealed, for the first time, that BRD4 directly activates hundreds of genes in the LP programs which include neurogenesis, axonogenesis, EMT and stem cells and key drivers such as POU3F2 (BRN2), ASCL1/2, NeuroD1, SOX2/9, RUNX1/2 and DLL3. Interestingly, BRD4 genome occupancy is reprogrammed by anti-AR drugs from facilitating AR function in CRPC cells to activating the LP programs and is facilitated by pioneer factor FOXA1. Significantly, we demonstrated that BRD4 inhibitor AZD5153, currently at clinical development, possesses potent activities in complete blockade of tumor growth of both de novo neuroendocrine prostate cancer (NEPC) and treatment-induced NEPC PDXs and that suppression of tumor expression of LP programs through reduction of local chromatin accessibility is the primary mechanism of action (MOA) by AZD5153. Together, our study revealed that BRD4 plays a fundamental role in direct activation of tumor LP programs and that its inhibitor AZD5153 is highly promising in effective treatment of the lethal forms of the diseases.

Paraplegia caused by spinal cord injury is a serious neurological complication, for which surgery is currently the main treatment method. Due to different surgical approaches, patients are usually expected to maintain a passive prone position for a long time or switch between the supine and prone positions. Affected by multiple factors such as neurogenic sensory disorders, pathological changes in muscle tone and operative duration, the risk of intraoperative acquired pressure injury (IAPI) is significantly increased. Current clinical prevention strategies for IAPI in these patients predominantly focus on localized pressure relief during positioning, lacking systematic, standardized comprehensive prevention protocols or evidence-based guidelines. To address it, Department of Nursing, Orthopedics Branch, China International Exchange and Promotive Association for Medical and Health Care, Spinal Trauma Professional Committee, Orthopedics Branch, Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Nursing Group of Spine and Spinal Cord Professional Committee of Chinese Association of Rehabilitation Medicine organized experts in relevant fields to formulate Guideline for the prevention of intraoperative acquired pressure injury in paraplegic patients with spinal cord injury ( version 2025), based on evidence-based medical evidence and latest research results and clinical practice at home and abroad. Eleven recommendations were put forward from the aspects of preoperative risk assessment, intraoperative prevention strategies, postoperative handover and monitoring, and supportive mechanisms for IAPI prevention, aiming to standardize the prevention measures and management strategies of IAPI in paraplegic patients with spinal cord injury and accelerate the recovery of patients and improve the therapeutic effect.

Hip fracture in the elderly is characterized by high incidence, high disability rate, and high mortality and has been recognized as a public health issue threatening their health. Surgery is the preferred choice for the treatment of elderly patients with hip fracture. However, lower extremity deep venous thrombosis (DVT) has an extremely high incidence rate during the perioperative period, and may significantly increase the risk of patients′ death once it progresses to pulmonary embolism. In response to this issue, the clinical guidelines and expert consensuses all emphasize active application of comprehensive preventive measures, including basic prevention, physical prevention, and pharmacological prevention. In this prevention system, basic prevention is the basis of physical and pharmacological prevention. However,there is a lack of unified and definite recommendations for basic preventive measures in clinical practice. To this end, the Orthopedic Nursing Professional Committee of the Chinese Nursing Association and Nursing Department of the Orthopedic Branch of the China International Exchange and Promotive Association for Medical and Health Care organized relevant nursing experts to formulate Expert consensus on perioperative basic prevention for lower extremity deep venous thrombosis in elderly patients with hip fracture ( version 2024) . A total of 10 recommendations were proposed, aiming to standardize the basic preventive measures for lower extremity DVT in elderly patients with hip fractures during the perioperative period and promote their subsequent rehabilitation.

Objective:To preliminarily explore the related factors that affect chimera mosaicism in in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment. Methods:A case-control study was conducted to retrospectively analyze the clinical data of 2252 blastocysts in 579 preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) cycles in the Reproductive Medicine Center of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2017 to December 2020. Biopsy cells were analyzed by next generation sequencing (NGS). According to the analysis results, all embryos were divided into mosaicism group and non-mosaicism group. Mosaicism types included euploid-aneuploid mosaicism, aneuploid-aneuploid mosaicism and complex mosaicism. The population characteristics and laboratory-related parameters of the two groups of embryos were compared, and single-factor and multi-factor analysis of the incidence of mosaicism were performed to evaluate the related factors that affect the development of mosaic embryos.Results:A total of 2252 blastocysts in 579 cycles were included in this study, 905 embryos (40.2%) were euploid, 923 (41.0%) were aneuploid, and 424 (18.8%) were mosaicism. Among them, 228 (10.1%) were euploid-aneuploidy mosaicism, 59 (2.6%) were aneuploidy-aneuploidy mosaicism, and 137 (6.1%) were complex mosaicism. NGS technology was performed in 4 institutions, and the mosaicism rate fluctuated between 7.6% and 26.2%. After adjusting the confounding factors (the age of the male and female partners, the quality of the male partner's sperm, the ovarian stimulation protocols, the type of culture medium, the indications of PGT, the different biopsy operators and the developmental stage of the blastocyst), it was found that the blastocyst trophectoderm cell (TE) score (grade C vs. grade A, P=0.014) and the genetic testing institutions (institution 2 vs. early stage of institution 1, P<0.001; late stage of institution 1 vs. early stage of institution 1, P<0.001) had a significant effect on the occurrence of mosaicism. Compared with the TE score of grade A, the chance of mosaicism in grade C increased by 66% (a OR=1.66, 95% CI=1.11-2.50, P=0.014). Compared with the early stage of institution 1, the incidence of mosaicism in institution 2 and late stage of institution 1 was 2.28 times (a OR=2.28, 95% CI=1.71-3.04, P<0.001), and late stage of institution 1 was 2.17 times that of the early stage (a OR=2.17, 95% CI=1.41-3.34, P<0.001). Conclusion:The incidence of mosaicism during IVF treatment is related to NGS genetic testing institutions and the quality of trophectoderm cells
