Tumor immunotherapy has emerged as the fourth major therapeutic modality, following surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. Unlike traditional treatments that primarily target tumor cells directly, immunotherapy harnesses the body’s immune system to recognize and eliminate cancer cells. Over the past decade, various immunotherapeutic strategies have been developed, including immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy, cancer vaccines, and cytokine-based therapies. However, the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME) poses a significant obstacle to the effectiveness of these treatments. Polyamines—including putrescine, spermidine, and spermine—are polycationic metabolites that often accumulate abnormally in the TME and act as critical immunoregulatory molecules. T cells play a central role in antitumor immunity, yet their function is frequently influenced by immunoregulatory factors within the TME. Elevated polyamine levels in the TME have been implicated in dampening antitumor T cell responses, thereby facilitating tumor immune evasion. Polyamines in the TME originate from both tumor cells and tumor-associated immune cells. Tumor cells often overexpress the oncogene Myc, which drives the upregulation of polyamine biosynthetic enzymes, resulting in excessive intracellular polyamine production. Additionally, M2-polarized tumor-associated macrophages (M2-TAMs) contribute to polyamine accumulation by upregulating arginase-I (Arg-I), an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of arginine into ornithine—a key precursor in the polyamine biosynthetic pathway. These combined sources lead to sustained polyamine enrichment in the TME, contributing to immune dysfunction and supporting tumor progression. Moreover, polyamines indirectly affect T cell activity by modulating macrophage polarization and directly suppress tumor cell apoptosis, further promoting an immunosuppressive environment. This review highlights the multifaceted roles of polyamines in modulating tumor-infiltrating T cell function, with a particular focus on their influence on CD4+ T cell differentiation,CD8+ T cell cytotoxicity, and immune checkpoint molecule expression. Recent studies suggest that polyamines suppress CD4+ T cell activation and differentiation by modulating the MAPK/ERK signaling pathway. Additionally, polyamines can impair T cell receptor (TCR) signaling and promote immune evasion through the upregulation of PD-L1 expression on tumor cells. These effects collectively contribute to weakened antitumor T cell responses. Polyamine blocking therapy (PBT), which primarily targets polyamine biosynthesis and transport, has emerged as a novel adjunctive immunotherapeutic strategy in cancer treatment. By reducing polyamine levels in the TME, PBT restores T cell effector functions and alleviates immunosuppression. Notably, studies have demonstrated that combining PBT with ICIs produces synergistic antitumor effects and may overcome resistance to ICI monotherapy. Although research has revealed the inhibitory effects of polyamines on T cell immune function, the underlying regulatory mechanisms remain to be fully elucidated. Moreover, due to compensatory mechanisms employed by tumor cells to maintain polyamine homeostasis, multi-targeted approaches may be necessary to achieve safe and effective therapeutic outcomes. Future PBT strategies may benefit from the integration of multi-omics technologies and the development of nanocarrier-based drug delivery systems, which could collectively enhance their specificity, efficacy, and applicability in cancer immunotherapy. This review systematically elucidates the immunomodulatory effects of polyamines on T cell function within the TME and provides theoretical support and novel insights for the advancement of tumor immunotherapeutic strategies.

Nanoparticle delivery systems have good application prospects in the field of precision therapy, but the preparation process of nanomaterial has problems such as short in vivo circulation time, easy recognition, and clearance by the immune system in the body. In recent years, biomimetic nanoparticle delivery systems mediated by natural cell membranes have become a research hotspot to address these issues. The natural membrane biomimetic nanoparticle delivery system cleverly integrates the advantages of natural biofilm "autologous" and "artificial" functional carriers by using endogenous cell membranes to modify the surface of nanocarriers, endowing them with characteristics such as tumor targeting, low immunogenicity, and long blood circulation. Currently, biomimetic nanoparticle delivery systems have been used in the treatment of malignant tumors, cardiovascular diseases, bacterial infections, and other diseases. This paper analyzes the development status and current research hotspots of natural cell membrane camouflaged biomimetic nanoparticle delivery systems mainly reviews the latest research progress of red blood cell membrane camouflaged biomimetic nanoparticle delivery systems in the field of disease treatment in recent years. It focuses on exploring the advantages, future development prospects, and limitations of biomimetic nanoparticle delivery systems based on red blood cell membrane camouflage in improving drug delivery, to provide a reference for the in-depth research and development of this system.

Systemic lupus erythematosus （SLE）， a refractory autoimmune disease， is among the dominant diseases where traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） shows advantages in the field of rheumatology and immunology. The China-Japan Friendship Hospital hosted the "46^th Youth Salon on Dominant Diseases （Systemic Lupus Erythematosus）" organized by the China Association of Chinese Medicine， which led to a consensus on "the advantages， challenges， interdisciplinary approaches， and translational achievements of integrated TCM and Western medical approaches in the diagnosis and treatment of SLE." The diagnosis and treatment of SLE currently face several challenges， such as frequent misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis in the early stages， difficulty in achieving treatment targets， multiple side effects from pharmacotherapy， and the lack of management strategies for special populations， all of which hinder the fulfillment of the clinical needs of patients. Integrated TCM and Western medical approaches can improve clinical symptoms such as skin erythema， aversion to cold and cold limbs， fatigue， dry mouth， restlessness， and heat sensation in the palms and soles， thereby improving patients' quality of life. The approaches also help consolidate the efficacy of conventional Western medicine， slow disease progression， reduce relapse rates， address multi-organ involvement， and prevent or treat complications. Additionally， they enhance efficacy and reduce toxicity， prevent the side effects of Western medications， help reduce hormone use， and offer distinct advantages in the individualized intervention of special populations， contributing to the whole-process management of the disease. However， evidence-based medical support for this integrated approach remains limited， and the quality of available evidence is generally low. Common evaluation systems and modern research methodologies should be adopted to clarify the efficacy of TCM in SLE treatment. Efforts should be made to carry out high-quality evidence-based medical research， strengthen the development of fundamental and pharmacological research， and further explain the distinct advantages of TCM in the diagnosis and treatment of SLE. Future efforts should focus on advancing the integration of TCM and modern medicine， incorporating multi-omics technologies， individualized stratification， and other precision medicine concepts， in combination with artificial intelligence. Moreover， interdisciplinary collaboration should be promoted to utilize modern technology in exploring the essence of TCM theories and screening effective formulae， thereby comprehensively improving the diagnosis and treatment of SLE through integrated TCM and Western medical approaches.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection's effect on gestational liver function, pregnancy and delivery complications, and neonatal development. METHODS: A total of 157 HCV antibody-positive (anti-HCV[+]) and HCV RNA(+) patients (Group C) and 121 anti-HCV(+) and HCV RNA(-) patients (Group B) were included as study participants, while 142 anti-HCV(-) and HCV RNA(-) patients (Group A) were the control group. Data on biochemical indices during pregnancy, pregnancy complications, delivery-related information, and neonatal complications were also collected. RESULTS: Elevated alanine aminotransferase (ALT) rates in Group C during early, middle, and late pregnancy were 59.87%, 43.95%, and 42.04%, respectively-significantly higher than Groups B (26.45%, 15.70%, 10.74%) and A (23.94%, 19.01%, 6.34%) ( P < 0.05). Median ALT levels in Group C were significantly higher than in Groups A and B at all pregnancy stages ( P < 0.05). No significant differences were found in neonatal malformation rates across groups ( P > 0.05). However, neonatal jaundice incidence was significantly greater in Group C (75.16%) compared to Groups A (42.25%) and B (57.02%) ( χ ² = 33.552, P < 0.001). HCV RNA positivity during pregnancy was an independent risk factor for neonatal jaundice ( OR = 2.111, 95% CI 1.242-3.588, P = 0.006). CONCLUSIONS Chronic HCV infection can affect the liver function of pregnant women, but does not increase the pregnancy or delivery complication risks. HCV RNA(+) is an independent risk factor for neonatal jaundice.

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to explore the association between body mass index (BMI) and mortality based on the 10-year population-based multicenter prospective study. METHODS: A general population-based multicenter prospective study was conducted at four sites in rural China between 2013 and 2023. Multivariate Cox proportional hazards models and restricted cubic spline analyses were used to assess the association between BMI and mortality. Stratified analyses were performed based on the individual characteristics of the participants. RESULTS: Overall, 19,107 participants with a sum of 163,095 person-years were included and 1,910 participants died. The underweight (< 18.5 kg/m ²) presented an increase in all-cause mortality (adjusted hazards ratio [ aHR] = 2.00, 95% confidence interval [ CI]: 1.66-2.41), while overweight (≥ 24.0 to < 28.0 kg/m ²) and obesity (≥ 28.0 kg/m ²) presented a decrease with an aHR of 0.61 (95% CI: 0.52-0.73) and 0.51 (95% CI: 0.37-0.70), respectively. Overweight ( aHR = 0.76, 95% CI: 0.67-0.86) and mild obesity ( aHR = 0.72, 95% CI: 0.59-0.87) had a positive impact on mortality in people older than 60 years. All-cause mortality decreased rapidly until reaching a BMI of 25.7 kg/m ² ( aHR = 0.95, 95% CI: 0.92-0.98) and increased slightly above that value, indicating a U-shaped association. The beneficial impact of being overweight on mortality was robust in most subgroups and sensitivity analyses. CONCLUSION This study provides additional evidence that overweight and mild obesity may be inversely related to the risk of death in individuals older than 60 years. Therefore, it is essential to consider age differences when formulating health and weight management strategies.
