1.Advances in the study of the role of T cells in acute kidney injury
Clinical Medicine of China 2025;41(3):235-240
Acute kidney injury(AKI)is a common clinical syndrome characterized by high morbidity and mortality.It's pathogenesis is complex and involves multiple pathophysiological processes,including inflammatory responses,oxidative stress,mitochondrial dysfunction,apoptosis,and immune dysregulation. Recent studies had shown that AKI is an independent risk factor for the development and progression of chronic kidney disease(CKD), significantly impacting patient outcomes. As key effector cells in the immune response, T cells play a crucial role throughout the onset, progression and repair phases of AKI.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of endoscopic ligation and injection sclerotherapy for internal hemorrhoids.Methods:From April 2020 to October 2023, 106 patients with grade Ⅰ to Ⅲ internal hemorrhoids who underwent endoscopic ligation or injection sclerotherapy in the First Affiliated Hospital with Nanjing Medical University (Jiangsu Province People's Hospital) were consecutively enrolled in the retrospective cohort study. Patients were divided into the ligation group ( n=70) and the injection sclerotherapy group ( n=36) according to the endoscopic treatment methods. The effective rate, hospital stay, postoperative pain, the incidence of complications, patient satisfaction and the recurrence rate of the two groups were assessed. Results:The effective rate was 95.7% (67/70) and 100.0% (36/36) respectively in the ligation group and the injection sclerotherapy group without significant difference ( P=0.549). The hospital stay was 6.0 (4.0, 7.3) days and 3.0 (2.0, 4.0) days respectively in the ligation group and the injection sclerotherapy group with significant difference ( Z=4.305, P<0.001). The incidence of 24-hour postoperative pain was 58.6% (41/70) and 11.1% (4/36) in the two groups respectively and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=20.020, P<0.001). There were no serious postoperative adverse events such as anal stenosis or thrombotic external hemorrhoids in the two groups. Only the incidence of anal distension was significantly different between the ligation group and the injection sclerotherapy group [38.6% (27/70) VS 5.6% (2/36), χ2=11.431, P<0.001]. The patient satisfaction rate of the two groups showed no significant difference [87.1% (61/70) VS 86.1% (31/36), P=1.000]. There was 1 patient and 15 patients lost to follow-up respectively in the ligation group and the injection sclerotherapy group, and the recurrence rate of the two groups showed no significant difference [14.5% (10/69) VS 33.3% (7/21), P=0.064]. Subgroup analysis of grade Ⅰ-Ⅱ internal hemorrhoids: there were 43 patients and 29 patients in the ligation group and the injection sclerotherapy group, respectively. No significant difference was found between the two groups in terms of the effective rate, incidence of postoperative hemorrhage, incidence of uroschesis, or patient satisfaction rate ( P>0.05). The incidences of postoperative pain [65.1% (28/43) VS 10.3% (3/29), χ 2=19.016, P<0.001] and anal distension [41.9% (18/43) VS 3.4% (1/29), χ 2=11.252, P<0.001] of the ligation group were significantly higher than those of the injection sclerotherapy group. Forty-three patients in the ligation group and 17 patients in the injection sclerotherapy group completed follow-up, and the recurrence rate was 11.6% (5/43) and 23.5% (4/17), respectively, without significant difference ( P=0.256). Subgroup analysis of grade Ⅲ internal hemorrhoids: there were 27 patients in the ligation group and 7 patients in the injection sclerotherapy group, and 26 and 4 patients completed follow-up, with a recurrence rate of 19.2% (5/26) and 75.0% (3/4), respectively. Conclusion:Endoscopic ligation and injection sclerotherapy are both safe and effective for grade Ⅰ-Ⅲ internal hemorrhoids. Injection sclerotherapy demonstrates shorter hospital stays and lower incidences of postoperative pain and anal distension. For grade Ⅰ-Ⅱ internal hemorrhoids, injection sclerotherapy is recommended due to its efficacy and fewer complications. Conversely, for grade Ⅲ internal hemorrhoids, ligation is suggested to reduce recurrence rates.

Modulating Tankyrases (TNKS), interactions with USP25 to promote TNKS degradation, rather than inhibiting their enzymatic activities, is emerging as an alternative/specific approach to inhibit the Wnt/β-catenin pathway. Here, we identified UAT-B, a novel neoantimycin analog isolated from Streptomyces conglobatus, as a small-molecule inhibitor of TNKS-USP25 protein-protein interaction (PPI) to overcome multi-drug resistance in colorectal cancer (CRC). The disruption of TNKS-USP25 complex formation by UAT-B led to a significant decrease in TNKS levels, triggering cell apoptosis through modulation of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway. Importantly, UAT-B successfully inhibited the CRC cells growth that harbored high TNKS levels, as demonstrated in various in vitro and in vivo studies utilizing cell line-based and patient-derived xenografts, as well as APCmin/+ spontaneous CRC models. Collectively, these findings suggest that targeting the TNKS-USP25 PPI using a small-molecule inhibitor represents a compelling therapeutic strategy for CRC treatment, and UAT-B emerges as a promising candidate for further preclinical and clinical investigations.
