Objective:To compare the diagnostic efficacy of 18F-prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-1007 PET/CT, 18F-FDG PET/CT and multi-parameter MRI (mpMRI) in prostate cancer (PCa). Methods:Retrospective analysis was conducted on data from 22 patients ((72.6±6.2) years) with pathologically confirmed PCa in the Affiliated Taizhou People′s Hospital of Nanjing Medical University between April 2021 and September 2022. All patients underwent 18F-PSMA-1007 PET/CT, 18F-FDG PET/CT, and mpMRI examination within 30 d, and the imaging parameters were collected, including PSMA-SUV max, FDG-SUV max, minimum apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC min), mean apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC mean), PSMA-SUV max/ADC min, PSMA-SUV max/ADC mean, FDG-SUV max/ADC min, FDG-SUV max/ADC mean. Patients were divided into groups based on the International Society of Urological Pathology (ISUP) grading (≤3 vs >3) and serum total prostate specific antigen (TPSA; ≤20 μg/L vs >20 μg/L), and differences of imaging parameters between groups were compared (Mann-Whitney U test or independent-sample t test). ROC curves were generated to evaluate the diagnostic ability of each parameter for different levels of PCa. χ2 test and ROC curve analysis were used to compare the detection rate and diagnostic efficiency of three imaging methods for primary focus, lymph node metastasis, and bone metastasis in PCa. Results:Differences were found between ISUP≤3 ( n=6) and >3 ( n=16) groups in PSMA-SUV max/ADC min, PSMA-SUV max/ADC mean, PSMA-SUV max, and ADC min ( z values: from -2.65 to -2.36, t=3.60, P values: 0.002-0.018). But there was no significant difference found between TPSA≤20 μg/L ( n=5) and >20 μg/L ( n=17) groups in all indices ( z values: from -1.76 to -1.45, t values: -1.19 and 1.28, all P>0.05). The optimal cut-off value for PSMA-SUV max/ADC min in differentiating high-grade and low-grade PCa was determined to be 22.628×10 3. In the patient-based analysis, no statistical difference was found in the detection rate of PCa primary tumors among 18F-PSMA-1007 PET/CT, 18F-FDG PET/CT, and mpMRI ( χ2=1.91, P=0.767). However, the detection rates of lymph node and bone metastasis among three imaging methods were significantly different (72.73%(16/22), 59.09%(13/22), 36.36%(8/22) and 81.82%(18/22), 63.64%(14/22), 45.45%(10/22); χ2 values: 6.03, 6.29; P values: 0.049, 0.043). 18F-PSMA-1007 PET/CT resulted in a 36.36%(8/22) increase in N stage and the 40.91%(9/22) increase in M stage compared to mpMRI. Conclusions:PSMA-SUV max/ADC min is a valuable parameter for differentiating high-grade and low-grade PCa. 18F-PSMA-1007 PET/CT demonstrates superior detection rate of PCa lymph node and bone metastasis compared to 18F-FDG PET/CT and mpMRI, and exhibits higher diagnostic efficiency, so it can be recommended for NM staging in patients with PCa.

Objective·To explore the effects of hypertension and dyslipidemia on cognitive function in the elderly.Methods·A dynamic population cohort was established by using prospective cohort study methods.In 2019,a complete cohort was selected from residents aged 65 and above who voluntarily participated in a free physical examination program in a community in Shanghai,serving as the baseline cohort.In 2022,512 community-dwelling elderly aged 67 to 93 were randomly selected from the same community as the follow-up cohort for the study.The collected date included residents' health records,various physical examination measurements,and Mini-mental State Examination(MMSE)scale scores.Results·Of the 512 cases that were followed up,the valid sample size was reduced to 495 after data cleaning.According to the baseline and follow-up cognitive assessments and changes,the cases were categorized into three cognitive groups:the improvement group,the normal group,and the decline group.The prevalence of hypertension in the decline group was 43.14%higher than that in the improvement group and 24.39%higher than that in the normal group(66.67%in the decline group vs 23.53%in the improvement group,P=0.011;66.67%in the decline group vs 42.28%in the normal group,P=0.040).Total cholesterol(TC)in the improvement group was lower than that in the normal group[improvement group(4.38±1.04)mmol/L vs normal group(5.11±1.12)mmol/L,P=0.009].Additionally,TC in the decline group in 2022 was higher than that in 2019[paired difference(0.46±0.87)mmol/L,95%CI 0.08?0.84,P=0.021].LDL-Ch in the improvement group was lower than that in the normal group[improved group(2.51±0.92)mmol/L vs normal group(3.07±1.00)mmol/L,P=0.024],and their HDL-Ch in 2022 was higher than that in 2019[paired difference(0.16±0.20)mmol/L,95%CI 0.06?0.26,P=0.005].The results of multinomial Logistic regression showed:TC in the improved group was lower than that in the normal group[β=4.12,OR=61.64,95%CI 1.52?2494.07,P=0.029]and the decline group[β=5.88,OR=357.35,95%CI 4.54?28149.75,P=0.008];the TAG[β=1.85,OR=6.34,95%CI 1.05?38.43,P=0.045],LDL-Ch[β=5.61,OR=274.06,95%CI 3.65?20567.57,P=0.011],and hypertension[β=1.90,OR=6.69,95%CI 1.53?29.16,P=0.011]in the decline group were higher than those in the improvement group;the age of the decline group was greater than that of the normal group[β=0.08,OR=1.08,95%CI 1.00?1.16,P=0.041],and the education level was lower than that of the normal group[β=1.22,OR=3.39,95%CI 1.28?8.94,P=0.014].Conclusion·Low TC and LDL-Ch and high HDL-Ch are beneficial to cognitive improvement.Conversely,hypertension,high TC,high TAG,high LDL-Ch,low education level,and advanced ages are risk factors for cognitive decline.

Systemic lupus erythematosus(SLE)is characterized by a large number of anti-autoantibodies produced by abnormally activated B cells,which form immune complexes with autoantigens to induce systemic inflammation,leading to the involvement of multiple systems and organs.Existing treatment strategies targeting B cells(such as belimumab,telitacicept,and rituximab)had limited efficacy.Recently,CD 19 targeting chimeric antigen receptor(CAR)-T cell has shown excellent efficacy in the treatment of SLE.However,autologous CAR-T cell therapy has potential risks such as cytokine release syndrome(CRS),T cell tumors,and infections,and it is expensive.CAR-natural killer(NK)cell therapy,on the other hand,is an off-the-shelf cellular therapy with high safety,no neurotoxicity or tumorigenic risk,and with low treatment costs.Currently,CAR-NK cell has achieved remarkable research results in treating hematological malignancies,and preliminary clinical studies of CAR-NK cell therapy for SLE have showed good efficacy,excellent safety,and predictable durability.This article focuses on the characteristics of the new generation of universal CAR-NK cell and the latest clinical research results for the treatment of relapsed and refractory SLE,offering insights into its promising future in the treatment of SLE and B-cell-related autoimmune diseases.

To investigate the therapeutic effects of oral osthole on streptozotocin (STZ)-induced type 1 diabetes mellitus(T1DM) mice and explore its internal mechanism. METHODS: The diabetes model induced by STZ was established. Mice were randomly divided into control group, STZ model group, STZ+osthole group (20 mg/kg). Body weight, blood glucose, urine protein, blood urea nitrogen and creatinine were observed to detect renal function. The degree of renal tissue damage was detected by H&E staining and PAS staining, and the degree of renal fibrosis was detected by Sirius Red staining. CD68 and F4/80 immunofluorescence staining was used to observe the infiltration of macrophages in kidney tissue. The mRNA expressive levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6) in renal tissue were detected by RT-qPCR. The protein expressive levels of phospho-NF-κB p65, NF-κB p65, IκBα, phospho-IκBα, phospho-p38 and p38 were detected by Western blot in renal tissue. RESULTS: Compared with the STZ model group, the levels of urinary protein, blood urea nitrogen, creatinine were significantly decreased after osthole treatment (P<0.05 or P<0.01). The renal structure disorder, mesangial matrix area, collagen fiber accumulation, and macrophage infiltration were significantly improved (P<0.05 or P<0.01). The expression of mRNA of pro-inflammatory cytokines TNF-α and IL-6 were significantly decreased (P<0.05 or P<0.001). The expression of phospho-NF-κB p65, phospho-IκBα and phospho-p38 were significantly down-regulated (P<0.05 or P<0.01), while the protein expression level of NF-κB p65, IκBα was up-regulated (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Osthole has a protective effect on kidney injury caused by diabetes and inhibits NF-κB and p38/MAPK signaling pathway.

To effectively solve the serious impact of high oil in the kitchen wastewater on the downstream treatment process, an excellent oil-degrading strain Aeromonas allosaccarophila CY-01 was immobilized to prepare Chitosan-Aeromonas pellets (CH-CY01) by using chitosan as a carrier. Oil degradation condition and efficiency of CH-CY01 pellets were assessed. The growth of immobilized CH-CY01 was almost unaffected, and the maximum degradation rate of soybean oil was 89.7%. Especially at 0.5% NaCl concentration, oil degradation efficiency of CH-CY01 was increased by 20% compared with free cells. In the presence of a surfactant (sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate) at 1 mg/L, the degradation efficiency of oil by CH-CY01 was increased by 40%. Moreover, using the high-oil catering wastewater as the substrate, more than 80% of the solid oil was degraded with 1% (V/V) CH-CY01 pellets treatment for 7 days, significantly higher than that of free cells. In summary, immobilized CH-CY01 significantly improved the efficiency of oil degradation.
