HDAC7, a member of class IIa HDACs, plays a pivotal regulatory role in tumor, immune, fibrosis, and angiogenesis, rendering it a potential therapeutic target. Nevertheless, due to the high similarity in the enzyme active sites of class IIa HDACs, inhibitors encounter challenges in discerning differences among them. Furthermore, the substitution of key residue in the active pocket of class IIa HDACs renders them pseudo-enzymes, leading to a limited impact of enzymatic inhibitors on their function. In this study, proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC) technology was employed to develop HDAC7 drugs. We developed an exceedingly selective HDAC7 PROTAC degrader B14 which showcased superior inhibitory effects on cell proliferation compared to TMP269 in various diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells. Subsequent investigations unveiled that B14 disrupts BCL6 forming a transcriptional inhibition complex by degrading HDAC7, thereby exerting proliferative inhibition in DLBCL. Our study broadened the understanding of the non-enzymatic functions of HDAC7 and underscored the importance of HDAC7 in the treatment of hematologic malignancies, particularly in DLBCL and AML.

Objective To investigate the genetic characteristics of the VP1 region of Coxsackievirus A10 (CVA10) in Yunnan Province. Methods Fecal samples of suspected hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) were subjected to real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR for detection of enterovirus CVA10. Positive samples were subjected to VP1 gene sequence amplification and Sanger sequencing. Sequence splicing was performed with DNAstar7.1 Seqman software, and nucleotide sequence and amino acid site analysis were performed using Mega 6.0 software. Results The sequencing of VP1 gene of CVA10 obtained a sequence of 894 nucleotides, encoding 298 amino acids. Compared with the original strain, there were mainly three active amino acid mutation regions, 13-33, 141-142, and 283-285. The nucleotide difference rate between the Yunnan isolates and the reference strain ranged from 16.92% to 30.90%, and the amino acid difference rate ranged from 2.58% to 4.00%. C1 and C2 group nucleotide difference was 10.58%, and the amino acid difference rate was 1.80%. The VP1 150-176 region exhibited highly conserved characteristics. Six CVA10 strains and Sichuan strain MW178898 belonged to the C1 group of the C genotype. The other 14 CVA10 strains belonged to the C2 group. Conclusion VP1 gene mutation is active and CVA10 is an important pathogen of HFMD in Yunnan. C2 genotype of CVA10 is dominant in this study, and C1 and C2 have co-circulated in Yunnan. It is necessary to strengthen monitoring and develop multivalent vaccines containing CVA10 epidemic genotype.

Objective To explore the relationship between the polymorphism of excision repair cross-complementation group 1 (ERCC1) C8092A locus and the efficacy and prognosis of platinum-based chemotherapy for lung cancer (LC), and to provide a theoretical basis for precision treatment of LC. Methods From January 2014 to October 2017, 120 patients from two tertiary hospitals in Haikou City, and with pathologically confirmed lung cancer treated with platinum-based chemotherapy were selected as the research objects. After informed consent was obtained, peripheral blood samples were collected for DNA extraction, and the genotype of ERCC1 C8092A locus was detected by mass spectrometry. WHO's Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours (RECIST) was used to judge patients' chemotherapy efficacy and patients' survival status was obtained by telephone follow-up and other means. Results Among the 120 LC patients, the genotype frequencies of ERCC1 C8092A locus were 67 cases of CC wildtype (55.8%), 45 cases of CA heterozygous type (37.5%), and 8 cases of AA rare mutation type (6.7%), which conformed to Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (χ2=0.140, P>0.05). The total effective rate of chemotherapy was 32.5%, with the highest effective rate in patients with the CA genotype (42.2%) at the ERCC1 C8092A locus and the lowest in patients with the CC genotype (25.4%). The overall one-year survival rate was 68.3% and the three-year survival rate was 35.8%. The patients with ERCC1 C8092A AA genotype had the lowest survival rate, with a one-year survival rate of 50.0% and three-year survival rate of only 25.0%. However, there were no statistical differences in the overall survival rate among the three genotypes of carriers of ERCC1 C8092A (χ2=0.328, P=0.849). Conclusions The polymorphism of ERCC1 C8092A locus is associated with the efficacy of platinum-based chemotherapy for LC, and patients with CA genotype have the highest efficacy. The one-year and three-year survival rates of patients with CC genotype are significantly higher than those of CA and AA genotypes.

Objective:To explore a better virtual reality (VR) aviation rescue training mode and equipment platform by comparing the application of VR gloves and handle.Methods:A control study was used. Forty undergraduate students were enrolled by using cluster sampling method in this study. They were averagely divided into VR glove group and the VR handle group. Both groups were respectively trained with VR glove and VR handle based on an aviation rescue script of the craniocerebral trauma in traffic accident and the training effect was analyzed by comparing the assessments between VR training and reality simulation. The assessment were conducted both by VR and actual operation trainings and the content included operation, evaluation judgment, and total training time consumed. After the training was completed, the students of 2 groups were investigated by questionnaire.Results:In the VR assessment, the training time for the VR handle group [(26.94±2.00) min] was lower than that of the VR glove group [(31.23±2.23) min], and the difference was significant ( t=6.42, P<0.001). In the reality simulation assessment, the operation score of the VR glove group [(37.80±7.08) points] was higher than that of the VR handle group [(30.40±6.07) points], with a significant difference ( t=3.55, P<0.001). There was no significant difference between the scores of VR assessment and reality simulation assessment in the VR glove group. The reality simulation operation score of the VR handle group [(30.40±6.07) points] was lower than the VR operation score [(36.20±8.15) points], and the difference was significant ( t=2.55, P=0.015). The reality simulation operation time [(30.25±1.66) min] was higher than the VR operation time [(26.94±2.00) min], and the difference was significant ( t=5.59, P<0.001).The scores of assessing operation diversity and the integration with reality in VR glove group were higher than that in VR handle group ( Z=-4.00, -2.00, P<0.001,=0.045), but the scores of positioning accuracy and button functions were lower ( Z=-2.30, t=5.70, P=0.022,<0.001). Conclusions:VR technology has some advantages in helicopter aviation rescue training, has a broad prospect. As the VR human-machine data exchange equipment, both gloves and handles could bring good training effect even they have their own disadvantages. It is still necessary to improve VR software and equipment, and promote the quality of air rescue training in multiple aspects.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of Aconiti Coreani Radix and Typhonii Rhizoma on the urinary metabolites of gerbils with stroke by non-targeted metabolomics technique, and then to clarify the mechanism of the two, as well as their similarities and differences. MethodTwenty-four gerbils were randomly divided into control group(CG), model group(MG), Aconiti Coreani Radix group(RA) and Typhonii Rhizoma group(RT). Except for the CG, ischemic stroke model was constructed using right unilateral ligation of gerbil carotid artery in the remaining groups. Except for the CG and MG, rats in the other groups received whole powder suspension(0.586 mg·g-1) was administered for 14 days. The neurological deficit in each group was scored by Longa scoring on days 0, 3, 7 and 14. After the end of administration, the serum, brain tissue and urine of gerbils in each group were collected, and the rate of cerebral infarction was detected by 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride(TTC), and the levels of interleukin(IL)-6, tumor necrosis factor(TNF)-α, malondialdehyde(MDA), superoxide dismutase(SOD), glutathione(GSH), and nitric oxide(NO) in serum and brain tissue were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA). The urine metabolomics of gerbils in each group was studied by ultra performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-electrostatic field orbitrap high resolution mass spectrometry(UPLC-Q-Orbitrap-MS), and the data were processed by multivariate statistical analysis, and differential metabolites were screened based on value of variable importance in the projection(VIP) of the first principal component>1 and t-test P<0.05. Metabolic pathway analysis of the screened differential metabolites was performed using Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG) database and Metaboanalyst 5.0. ResultCompared with the CG, the neurological deficit score was significantly increased in the MG(P<0.05), compared with the MG, the neurological deficit scores in the RA and RT were significantly reduced after 7 d and 14 d(P<0.05). Compared with the CG, the rate of cerebral infarction was significantly increased in the MG(P<0.05), compared with the MG, the rates of cerebral infarction in the RA and RT were significantly reduced(P<0.05). Compared with the CG, the levels of IL-6, TNF-α, and MDA in the serum and brain tissue of gerbils from the MG were significantly increased(P<0.05), and the levels of SOD, GSH and NO were significantly reduced(P<0.05). Compared with the MG, Aconiti Coreani Radix and Typhonii Rhizoma could down-regulate the levels of IL-6, TNF-α and MDA, and up-regulated the levels of SOD, GSH and NO. A total of 112 endogenous differential metabolites were screened by urine metabolomics, of which 16 and 26 metabolites were called back by Aconiti Coreani Radix and Typhonii Rhizoma, and could be used as potential biomarkers for both treatments in stroke gerbils, respectively. The results of the pathway analysis showed that both Aconiti Coreani Radix and Typhonii Rhizoma had regulatory effects on arginine and proline metabolism, pyrimidine metabolism, and aminoacyl-tRNA biosynthesis. In addition, Aconiti Coreani Radix could also regulate riboflavin metabolism, Typhonii Rhizoma could also regulate purine metabolism, glycine, serine and threonine metabolism, arachidonic acid metabolism, biosynthesis of pantothenate and coenzyme A, and β-alanine metabolism. ConclusionBoth Aconiti Coreani Radix and Typhonii Rhizoma have better therapeutic effects on stroke, with Aconiti Coreani Radix having stronger effects. From the metabolomics results, the main metabolic pathways regulated by Aconiti Coreani Radix involve amino acid metabolism, oxidative stress and so on, while Typhonii Rhizoma mainly involve amino acid metabolism, lipid metabolism, energy metabolism, etc.

ObjectiveTo investigate the clinicopathological features, diagnosis and treatment methods, and prognosis of gallbladder sarcomatoid carcinoma (GBSC). MethodsA retrospective analysis was performed for the clinical data of 16 patients with GBSC who were admitted to The First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2015 to April 2023, including general information, clinical manifestations, imaging features, pathological features, and treatment modality, and follow-up was performed for all patients. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to perform the survival analysis and plot the survival curve, and the Log-rank test was used for comparison between groups. ResultsAmong the 16 patients, there were 6 male patients and 10 female patients, with a mean age of 62.9±8.4 years. The main clinical manifestations were right upper abdominal pain in 13 patients (81.3%), nausea in 5 patients (31.3%), abdominal distension in 4 patients (25.0%), poor appetite in 3 patients (18.8%), weakness in 2 patients (12.5%), fever in 2 patients (12.5%), and jaundice in 1 patient (6.3%), and 3 patients were asymptomatic and were found to have this disease by physical examination. Of all patients, 81.3% (13/16) were in the advanced stage (stage Ⅲ/Ⅳ) at the time of initial diagnosis. Histopathological examination showed that some cancer cells were spindle-shaped under the microscope, with marked nuclear division and noticeable heteromorphism. Immunohistochemistry showed a positive expression rate of 100% (16/16) for Vimentin, AE1/AE3, and CK8/18, and Ki-67 proliferation index was highly expressed in 81.3% (13/16) of the patients (≥50%), with a median of 70% (range 20% — 90%). All 16 patients underwent surgical treatment, with radical surgery in 11 patients and palliative surgery in 5 patients, among whom 9 received R0 resection, 2 received R1 resection, and 5 received R2 resection, and 7 patients received adjuvant therapy after surgery. Effective follow-up was achieved for all 16 patients, with a follow-up time of 0.5 — 26.0 months and a median follow-up time of 11.0 months. By the end of follow-up, 2 patients survived and 14 patients died due to tumor recurrence or metastasis, with a median survival time of 10.0 months, and the 1- and 2-year cumulative survival rates after surgery were 31.3% and 8.3%, respectively. The prognostic analysis showed that TNM stage (χ2=6.727, P=0.009), surgical approach (χ2=7.508, P=0.006), margin condition (χ2=7.934, P=0.005), and adjuvant therapy (χ2=4.608, P=0.032) were associated with the prognosis of patients. ConclusionThe clinical manifestations of GBSC lack specificity, and a confirmed diagnosis relies on immunohistochemical analysis. Most patients are in the advanced disease at the time of initial diagnosis and tend to have a poor prognosis. There are currently no targeted therapies for this disease, and radical surgery with negative margins and adjuvant therapy can improve the survival rate of patients.
