[摘 要] 目的：探讨乙醛脱氢酶1A1（ALDH1A1）mRNA负载树突状细胞（DC）疫苗体外诱导抗鼻咽癌干细胞免疫反应的能力。方法：体外转录ALDH1A1 mRNA并电转染至人外周血DC，构建ALDH1A1-DC疫苗，转染EGFP mRNA为对照。流式细胞术检测DC表型、淋巴细胞亚群、细胞毒性T 淋巴细胞（CTL）增殖和细胞因子分泌。分选ALDH+和ALDH- C666-1细胞，检测干细胞标志物（CD24、CD133）和干性基因（OCT4、SOX2、Nanog）的表达水平，采用CCK-8法评估ALDH1A1-DC疫苗诱导的特异性免疫杀伤能力。结果：EGFP-DC荧光表达率显著高于未转染DC（P < 0.000 1），ALDH1A1-DC抗原提呈分子HLA-ABC、共刺激分子CD86、CD40和CCR7表达与未转染DC相比显著增强（P = 0.001 3、P = 0.005 9、P = 0.000 4及P = 0.001 9）。与单独淋巴细胞组（T）及空载DC诱导的淋巴细胞组（DC-T）相比，ALDH1A1-DC诱导的CTL比例最高（均P < 0.000 1），分裂指数最高（P = 0.000 2、P = 0.000 3），且CD8+CD69+（P = 0.000 5、P < 0.000 1）和CD8+ IFN-γ+（P = 0.012 6、P = 0.001 9）细胞亚群比例均显著提高。ALDH1A1-DC-T细胞对ALDH+C666-1悬浮细胞球的杀伤效果显著优于ALDH-细胞球（P = 0.001 0），且与其他各组淋巴细胞相比表现出较强的抗ALDH+C666-1悬浮细胞球的免疫效应（P = 0.001 0，P < 0.000 1）。然而，HLA-ABC阻断后其对ALDH+C666-1细胞的特异性杀伤效应显著降低（P < 0.000 1）。结论：mRNA转染DC后可翻译蛋白并促进DC成熟，增强其诱导特异性CTL免疫反应的能力。

Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of cognitive behavioral therapy （CBT） in the treatment of functional seizures （FS）. Methods Databases including PubMed （MEDLINE）， EMBASE， and the Cochrane Library were searched for randomized controlled trials （RCTs） on CBT in the treatment of FS published from January 2001 to October 2024. Jadad score was used to assess the quality of studies， and stata16 software was used to perform the meta-analysis. Results Four RCTs involving 463 patients were included in this meta-analysis. The analysis showed that CBT could reduce the frequency of FS by ≥50% （OR=0.57， 95%CI 0.36~0.78， P<0.001）， achieve complete remission of seizures （OR=1.83， 95% CI 1.09~3.05， P=0.021）， improve the degree of satisfaction among patients （MD=1.12， 95%CI -2.28~0.04， P=0.050）， and enhance the quality of life and work （OR=0.50， 95%CI 0.47~0.52， P<0.001）. Conclusions While CBT can help achieve full remission in FS， more research is needed to confirm its effectiveness in reducing episodes by over 50% and improving patients’ quality of life， family functioning， social adaptability， and psychological well-being.

Objective:To investigate the related factors of kidney injury in patients with masked hypertension (MHT).Methods:This study was a cross-sectional study. A total of 311 MHT patients who visited Dongguan Liaobu Community Health Service from June 1,2022 to June 1, 2023 were enrolled in the study. The complete blood biochemistry, urinary microalbumin and 24-hour urinary protein tests were conducted, and the risk factors of renal injury in MHT patients were analyzed with multivariate logistic regression.Results:The age of the 311 enrolled patients was(48.8±9.2)years, with 192 males(61.7%) There were 73 cases with microalbuminuria (MAU), accounting for 23.47% (73/311); and 28 cases of positive 24-hour urine total protein (24-hour UTP), accounted for 9.00% (28/311). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that fasting blood glucose level and mean nocturnal systolic blood pressure were independent risk factors of positive MAU in MHT patients ( OR=1.577, 95% CI: 1.049-2.370, P=0.030; OR=1.024, 95% CI: 1.001-1.047, P=0.038), while older age was a protective factor of MAU ( OR=0.965, 95% CI: 0.935-0.997, P=0.030); mean nocturnal systolic pressure, 24-hour mean systolic pressure and mean diurnal systolic pressure were independent risk factors of positive 24-hour UTP in MHT patients ( OR=1.031,95% CI: 1.000-1.064, P=0.049; OR=1.048,95% CI: 1.008-1.091, P=0.020; OR=1.042,95% CI: 1.003-1.083, P=0.035). Conclusion:Older age, fasting blood glucose, mean nocturnal systolic pressure, 24-hour mean systolic pressure and mean diurnal systolic pressure are associated with the renal injury in MHT patients.

Toxoplasmosis is a zoonotic disease caused by infection with Toxoplasma gondii. Congenital toxoplasmosis is a common form of intrauterine infection and is associated with severe neurological sequelae such as cerebral palsy and cognitive impairment. This report presented the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features of a fetal intracranial toxoplasmosis case, including bilateral ventriculomegaly, multiple intracranial cystic lesions, and parenchymal calcifications, without concurrent retinal abnormalities or hepatosplenomegaly. Post-termination analyses confirmed the presence of T.gondii DNA in amniotic fluid and umbilical venous blood, with histopathology revealing necrosis and eosinophilic infiltration. MRI demonstrates superior soft-tissue resolution in evaluating the extent of cerebral lesions and parenchymal damage, underscoring its diagnostic value in fetal toxoplasmic encephalopathy.

Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disorder affecting ~65 million individuals worldwide. Abnormal synaptic plasticity is one of the most important pathological features of this condition. We investigated how ubiquitin-specific peptidase 47 (USP47) influences synaptic plasticity and its link to epilepsy. We found that USP47 enhanced excitatory postsynaptic transmission and increased the density of total dendritic spines and the proportion of mature dendritic spines. Furthermore, USP47 inhibited the degradation of the ubiquitinated α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid receptor (AMPAR) subunit glutamate receptor 1 (GluR1), which is associated with synaptic plasticity. In addition, elevated levels of USP47 were found in epileptic mice, and USP47 knockdown reduced the frequency and duration of seizure-like events and alleviated epileptic seizures. To summarize, we present a new mechanism whereby USP47 regulates excitatory postsynaptic plasticity through the inhibition of ubiquitinated GluR1 degradation. Modulating USP47 may offer a potential approach for controlling seizures and modifying disease progression in future therapeutic strategies.

Objective To observe and analyze the clinical efficacy and safety of carvedilol combined with dual-wavelength pulsed dye laser in the treatment of rosacea.Methods A retrospective analysis was per-formed on 50 patients with rosacea mainly characterized by flushing,erythema,and telangiectasia who were treated with dual-wavelength pulsed dye laser in the Department of Dermatology of this hospital from October 2023 to October 2024.They were divided into the observation group and the control group according to differ-ent treatment methods,with 25 cases in each group.The control group received dual-wavelength pulsed dye la-ser treatment,while the observation group received carvedilol combined with dual-wavelength pulsed dye laser treatment.The clinical erythema assessment(CEA)scale and physician global assessment(PGA)were used to evaluate the efficacy of the two groups,and the occurrence of adverse reactions was recorded.Results After treatment,the CEA scores of both groups were lower than those before treatment.The CEA score of the ob-servation group was lower than that of the control group,and the PGA score was higher than that of the con-trol group,with statistically significant differences(P<0.05).No singnifcant adverse reactions occurred in ei-ther group.Conclusion Carvedilol combined with dual-wavelength pulsed dye laser is more effective than sin-gle dual-wavelength pulsed dye laser in the treatment of rosacea,and the treatment method is safe.

Objective To evaluate the status of latent tuberculosis infection(LTBI)with Mycobacterium tubercu-losis and the risk of LTBI activation after glucocorticoid therapy in patients with anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody(ANCA)-associated vasculitis(AAV).Methods Clinical data of AAV patients who visited Xiangya Hospital of Central South University from May 2018 to May 2023 were retrospectively analyzed.According to the results of in-terferon-γ release assay(IGRA),they were divided into a LTBI group and a non-LTBI group.The LTBI group was subdivided into an active TB group(ATB group)and a non-ATB group according to the presence of ATB.General conditions and biochemical indicator characteristics of the two groups were compared.The COX regression model was used to analyze the risk factors for LTBI activation in AAV patients.Results A total of 302 AAV patients were included in this study,with an age of 64.0(53.0,71.0)years old,169 male cases(55.96％),and an IGRA positive rate of 24.17％(n=73).The proportion of patients with renal insufficiency in the LTBI group was higher than that in the non-LTBI group(79.45％vs 60.70％),with statistically significant difference(P＜0.05).In the LTBI group,the age of patients was 62.0(53.5,72.0)years old,44 cases were male(60.27％),out of which 11 cases(15.07％)had ATB.In the non-LTBI group,4 male cases(1.75％)had ATB.In the LTBI group,there were statistically significant differences between the ATB group and the non-ATB group in terms of daily average glucocorticoid levels,age,renal dysfunction,neutrophils,and blood creatinine(all P＜0.05).COX univariate re-gression analysis showed that statistically significant differences existed among the groups in terms of daily average glucocorticoid levels,daily average glucocorticoid levels＞11.75 mg/day,age,age＞65 years old,and blood crea-tinine levels ≥150 μmol/L(all P＜0.05).COX multivariate regression analysis showed that daily average glucocor-ticoid levels＞11.75 mg/day(OR=0.14,95％CI:1.30-79.01)and age＞65 years(OR=0.08,95％CI:0.01-0.85)were independent influencing factors for LTBI activation.Conclusion AAV patients have a high rate of LT-BI,and daily average glucocorticoid levels＞11.75 mg/day is an independent risk factor for LTBI activation in AAV patients.Age＞65 years may benefit from receiving lower doses of immunosuppressive therapy,but it is necessary to expand sample size for further study.
