Autoimmune diseases of the nervous system are a category of conditions in which a malfunction of the body's immune system leads to damage of nerve tissues, with B cells playing a critical role in their pathogenesis. Currently, the therapeutic approaches used in clinical practice (such as monoclonal antibodies targeting B cells) can effectively control the progression of these diseases, but fail to achieve a radical cure. Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy uses genetic engineering to modify T cells derived from either patients or donors, enabling them to specifically target and durably eliminate peripheral B cells, which might remit or even functionally cure these diseases. Currently, multiple clinical studies on efficacy and safety of CAR-T cell therapy in neurological autoimmune diseases have been carried out successively, and initial results have been achieved. This article reviews the clinical research progress in this field, discusses its application prospects and challenges, aiming to provide some references for in-depth research in this area.

By extracting quantitative radiomic features from regions of interest in medical images and correlating them with the biological features and heterogeneity of tumors, radiomics can provide critical information and a basis for personalized precision diagnosis and treatment. Peritumoral regions contain a wealth of microbiological information. Therefore, chest CT peritumoral radiomics, which can provide quantitative non-invasive assessment for patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) by mining the deep heterogeneity of peritumoral regions, has broad prospects for future clinical applications. Given the rapid progress in computer and medical big data techniques, as well as the in-depth efforts in multi-center, high-quality, and large-sample data in the future, it is reasonably believed that radiomics research will be gradually normalized and reproducible. This is conducive to the translation and application of radiomics research to clinical practice, thus laying a foundation for personalized and accurate diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up for lung cancer patients.

Background and Aims:Preventive temporary stoma has been widely used in surgeries for rectal cancer as a simple and effective method to reduce the severity of postoperative anastomotic leakage.However,some patients with preventive temporary stomas cannot undergo reversal due to various factors,resulting in a permanent stoma.Permanent stomas remain a common adverse outcome in clinical practice,and the reasons behind this are not entirely clear.This study analyzes a continuous surgical sample from a single center to explore the risk factors for forming permanent stoma. Methods:The clinical data of patients who underwent anal-preserving rectal cancer surgery with preventive temporary stoma in Gastrointestinal Cancer Center Ⅲ of Peking University Cancer Hospital from January 2020 to March 2023,with over 12 months of follow-up,were retrospectively collected.The occurrence of permanent stoma was analyzed,and the clinical variables of patients with permanent stoma were compared to those who underwent stoma reversal,along with an analysis of the risk factors for permanent stoma formation.Permanent stoma was defined as ostomy reversal failure for more than 12 months. Results:A total of 299 patients were included,among which 268(89.63%)underwent stoma reversal(stoma closure group),and 31(10.37%)did not(permanent stoma group).Compared to the stoma closure group,the permanent stoma group had a higher incidence of distant organ metastasis at diagnosis(7.5%vs.25.85%,P=0.003)and also had higher proportions of T3 and T4 stages,N2 stage,and clinical stage Ⅳ(all P<0.05)with an elevated overall postoperative complication rate(19.0%vs.41.9%,P=0.003)as well as a higher rate of severe complications(1.1%vs.9.7%,P=0.016)and an increased incidence of anastomotic leakage(4.9%vs.19.4%,P=0.006).Logistic regression analysis revealed that the presence of distant organ metastasis at diagnosis(OR=5.41,95%CI=1.80-16.27,P=0.003),and occurrence of anastomotic leakage(OR=4.44,95%CI=1.15-17.09,P=0.030)were independent risk factors for the formation of permanent stomas. Conclusion:At present,some patients still cannot undergo reversal of their preventive temporary stoma,resulting in permanent stoma.The formation of permanent stomas is closely related to a low tumor location,distant organ metastasis at diagnosis,and the occurrence of anastomotic leakage.

Objective To explore the research progress, research hotspot and development trend of tigecycline resistance based on the quantitative analysis and visualization function of CiteSpace. Methods The data were collected from 4,263 Chinese and English articles on tigecycline resistance in CNKI, Wanfang, VIP and Web of Science (WOS) databases from 2012 to 2022. CiteSpace 5.8.R3 software was used to analyze the cooperative network of authors, the cooperative network of countries and institutions, the total citation times of journals, and keywords included in the literature, to reveal the hotspots and trends of tigecycline resistance research. Results The number of articles published in English literature was higher than that in Chinese literature. China had the largest number of published documents, showing a significant international academic influence in this research field. Countries all over the world were concerned about the resistance of tigecycline, but Chinese literatures focused more on the clinical infection and prevention of tigecycline resistance, while English literatures placed special emphasis on the research about the drug resistance mechanism of tigecycline. Conclusion The research direction at home and abroad is basically the same, but the research focus has gradually shifted from the clinical treatment and monitoring of tigecycline to the molecular level of drug resistance mechanism.

Background Exposure to diisononyl phthalate (DINP), an endocrine disruptor associated with metabolic diseases and widely used in plastic products, has been linked to the development of several adverse health outcomes in the liver, including non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Objective To investigate the effects and the possible molecular mechanisms of DINP exposure on lipid metabolism in human hepatocellular carcinoma cells (HepG2 cells). Methods First, HepG2 cells were treated with DINP at three time spots (24, 48, and 72 h) and eleven doses (0, 0.003, 0.01, 0.03, 0.1, 0.3, 1, 3, 10, 30, and 100 mmol·L−1). Cell viability were detected using cell counting kit 8 (CCK8). Intracellular lipid deposition was determined by oil red O staining and lipid content detection, and triglyceride (TG) and cholesterol (TC) were further detected. Finally, the mRNA expression levels were detected by fluorescence quantitative PCR, including fatty acid synthesis related genes [acetyl-CoA carboxylase alpha (Accα), fatty acid synthase (Fasn), malonyl-CoA decarboxylase (Mlycd), and sterol regulatory element binding protein 1 (Srebp1)] and β-oxidation related genes [peroxisome proliferator activated receptor alpha (Pparα), AMP-activated protein kinase (Ampk), carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1A (Cpt-1a), transcription factor A, mitochondrial (Tfam), nuclear respiratory factor 1 (Nrf1), and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma and coactivator 1 alpha (Pgc1-α)]. Results Compared with the control group (0 mmol·L−1), the no observed adverse effect levels (NOAEL) of HepG2 cell viability were 0.3, 0.1, and 0.1 mmol·L−1 after 24, 48, and 72 h exposure to DINP, respectively, and the corresponding lowest observed adverse effect levels (LOAEL) were 1, 0.3, and 0.3 mmol·L−1, respectively (P<0.05). After exposure to 30 mmol·L−1 and 100 mmol·L−1 DINP for 24 h, the intracellular lipid content, lipid deposition, TG, and TC levels were increased significantly compared with the control group (P<0.01). Compared with the control group, the mRNA expression levels of genes related to fatty acid synthesis, such as Mlycd, Srebp1, Fasn, and Accα, were down-regulated after the 100 mmol·L−1 DINP exposure for 24 h, while the mRNA expression level of Mlycd was up-regulated in the 30 mmol·L−1 group. The β-oxidation related genes such as Ampk, Pparα, and Tfam were up-regulated significantly after the 100 mmol·L−1 DINP exposure, while Cpt-1a mRNA expression level was down-regulated (P<0.05). Conclusion Exposure to DINP at 30 mmol·L−1 and 100 mmol·L−1 can interfere with fatty acid synthesis and β-oxidation in lipid metabolism of HepG2 cells, resulting in lipid deposition.

A 53-year-old female patient with stage Ⅳa colon cancer received 7 cycles of standard chemotherapy regimen. Due to the progression of the condition, she was treated with fruquintinib (5 mg once daily orally on day 1-21, 28 days as one cycle). After 20 days of treatments, the patient experienced sudden consciousness disorders, accompanied by limb convulsions. Her blood pressure was 200/150 mmHg, with urinary protein (+++). Enhanced MRI showed multiple cortical and subcortical abnormal signals in the bilateral frontal, temporal, parietal, and occipital lobes. Reversible posterior leukoencephalopathy syndrome caused by fruquintinib was considered. Then the drug was discontinued. After 2 days of symptomatic treatments such as oxygen therapy, blood pressure reduction, sedation, and antiepileptic therapy, the patient′s consciousness was improved, no limb convulsions occurred and her blood pressure was 130/80 mmHg. After 8 days of treatments, the patient′s condition stabilized and fruquintinib was given again after reducing the dosage. At an one month follow-up, MRI enhancement showed no significant abnormalities.
