Immobilized enzyme-based enzyme electrode biosensors, characterized by high sensitivity and efficiency, strong specificity, and compact size, demonstrate broad application prospects in life science research, disease diagnosis and monitoring, etc. Immobilization of enzyme is a critical step in determining the performance (stability, sensitivity, and reproducibility) of the biosensors. Random immobilization (physical adsorption, covalent cross-linking, etc.) can easily bring about problems, such as decreased enzyme activity and relatively unstable immobilization. Whereas, directional immobilization utilizing amino acid residue mutation, affinity peptide fusion, or nucleotide-specific binding to restrict the orientation of the enzymes provides new possibilities to solve the problems caused by random immobilization. In this paper, the principles, advantages and disadvantages and the application progress of enzyme electrode biosensors of different directional immobilization strategies for enzyme molecular sensing elements by specific amino acids (lysine, histidine, cysteine, unnatural amino acid) with functional groups introduced based on site-specific mutation, affinity peptides (gold binding peptides, carbon binding peptides, carbohydrate binding domains) fused through genetic engineering, and specific binding between nucleotides and target enzymes (proteins) were reviewed, and the application fields, advantages and limitations of various immobilized enzyme interface characterization techniques were discussed, hoping to provide theoretical and technical guidance for the creation of high-performance enzyme sensing elements and the manufacture of enzyme electrode sensors.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of nutrition care process and model (NCPM) intervention on the quality of life and nutritional status in patients with non-small cell lung cancer.Methods:A case-control study was conducted among 80 patients with non-small cell lung cancer treated at The 903 Hospital of the PLA Joint Logistics Support Force between January 2023 and February 2024. Based on different intervention methods, these patients were divided into a control group and a study group, with 40 patients in each group. The control group received traditional intervention, while the study group underwent intervention using the NCPM. Negative emotions, anthropometric indices (upper arm muscle circumference, triceps skin thickness, body mass index), blood indices (total serum protein, hemoglobin, serum albumin), quality of life, and immune function indices were compared between the two groups before and after the intervention.Results:After the intervention, the scores on the Self-Rating Depression Scale and Self-Rating Anxiety Scale in the study group were (17.37 ± 1.78) points and (16.48 ± 1.27) points, respectively, which were significantly lower than those in the control group [(26.21 ± 2.01) points, (25.11 ± 1.36) points, t = 20.82, 29.33, both P < 0.001]. The body mass index, triceps skin thickness, and upper arm muscle circumference in the study group were (19.62 ± 0.18) kg/m 2, (9.85 ± 0.23) mm, and (25.81 ± 0.40) cm, respectively, which were significantly higher than those in the control group [(19.32 ± 0.25) kg/m 2, (9.71 ± 0.16) mm, (25.16 ± 0.33) cm, t = 6.16, 3.16, 20.12, all P < 0.05]. The hemoglobin, total serum protein, and serum albumin levels in the study group were significantly higher compared with those in the control group ( t = 3.93, 4.41, 6.15, all P < 0.05). The scores for social function, material life, physical function, and psychological function in the study group were significantly higher than those in the control group ( t = 8.64, 3.44, 3.62, 7.71, all P < 0.05). The study group had significantly higher CD 4+ and CD 4+/CD 8+ values, with (44.12 ± 5.93)% and (1.94 ± 0.43), respectively, compared with the control group [(40.08 ± 5.21)% and (1.52 ± 0.28), t = 3.24, 5.18, both P < 0.05]. The CD 8+ value in the study group was (23.18 ± 2.11)%, which was significantly lower than that in the control group [(27.01 ± 2.73)%, t = 7.02, P < 0.05]. Conclusion:The intervention utilizing the NCPM model effectively enhances the diet structure in patients with non-small cell lung cancer, standardizes the nutritional management process for these patients, and ultimately improves their overall quality of life.

Objective:To compare the efficacy and safety of flumatinib (FM)and imatinib (IM)as first-line treatment in newly-diagnosed patients with chronic myeloid leukemia in chronic phase (CML-CP ) in real world. Methods:A total of 84 newly-diagnosed CP-CML patients in our center from December 2019 to December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed.Among them,32 cases received FM as first-line treatment,and 52 cases received IM. Molecular response (MR),disease progression,survival and incidence of adverse events (AEs)were compared between the two groups.Results:At 3 months of treatment,the incidences of early molecular response (EMR ),MR2.0 and MR3.0 were 96.7%,70.0% and 20.0% in FM group,respectively,which were significantly higher than 77.1%,29. 2% and 0 in IM group (all P<0.05 ).At 6,9 and 12 months of treatment,the incidences of major molecular response (MMR)in FM group were 68.2%,85.7% and 90.0%,respectively,which were significantly higher than 22.9%,34.0% and 51.1% in IM group (all P<0.01).The median time to achieve MMR in FM group was 6(6-9)months,which was significantly shorter than 18(12-22)months in IM group (P<0.001 ).The 3-year progression-free survival rate and 3-year event-free survival rate in FM group were 100% and 68.8%,respectively,while in IM group were 98.1% and 55.8%.There were no significant differences between the two groups (P>0.05). The incidence of grade 3-4 hematologic AEs in FM group was 21 .9%,which was slightly lower than 25.0% in IM group,but the difference was not significant (P>0.05 ).Conclusion:In real clinical practice,FM as first-line treatment achieves MMR earlier than IM,and exhibits good safety profile in newly-diagnosed CML-CP patients,which potentially leads to improved long-term survival and treatment-free remission.

Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.

In recent years, nucleic acid therapy, as a revolutionary therapeutic tool, has shown great potential in the treatment of genetic diseases, infectious diseases and cancer. Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) are currently the most advanced mRNA delivery carriers, and their emergence is an important reason for the rapid approval and use of COVID-19 mRNA vaccines and the development of mRNA therapy. Currently, mRNA therapeutics using LNP as a carrier have been widely used in protein replacement therapy, vaccines and gene editing. Conventional LNP is composed of four components: ionizable lipids, phospholipids, cholesterol, and polyethylene glycol (PEG) lipids, which can effectively load mRNA to improve the stability of mRNA and promote the delivery of mRNA to the cytoplasm. However, in the face of the complexity and diversity of clinical diseases, the structure, properties and functions of existing LNPs are too homogeneous, and the lack of targeted delivery capability may result in the risk of off-targeting. LNPs are flexibly designed and structurally stable vectors, and the adjustment of the types or proportions of their components can give them additional functions without affecting the ability of LNPs to deliver mRNAs. For example, by replacing and optimizing the basic components of LNP, introducing a fifth component, and modifying its surface, LNP can be made to have more precise targeting ability to reduce the side effects caused by treatment, or be given additional functions to synergistically enhance the efficacy of mRNA therapy to respond to the clinical demand for nucleic acid therapy. It is also possible to further improve the efficiency of LNP delivery of mRNA through machine learning-assisted LNP iteration. This review can provide a reference method for the rational design of engineered lipid nanoparticles delivering mRNA to treat diseases.

RNA editing, an essential post-transcriptional reaction occurring in double-stranded RNA (dsRNA), generates informational diversity in the transcriptome and proteome. In mammals, the main type of RNA editing is the conversion of adenosine to inosine (A-to-I), processed by adenosine deaminases acting on the RNAs (ADARs) family, and interpreted as guanosine during nucleotide base-pairing. It has been reported that millions of nucleotide sites in human transcriptome undergo A-to-I editing events, catalyzed by the primarily responsible enzyme, ADAR1. In hematological malignancies including myeloid/lymphocytic leukemia and multiple myeloma, dysregulation of ADAR1 directly impacts the A-to-I editing states occurring in coding regions, non-coding regions, and immature miRNA precursors. Subsequently, aberrant A-to-I editing states result in altered molecular events, such as protein-coding sequence changes, intron retention, alternative splicing, and miRNA biogenesis inhibition. As a vital factor of the generation and stemness maintenance in leukemia stem cells (LSCs), disordered RNA editing drives the chaos of molecular regulatory network and ultimately promotes the cell proliferation, apoptosis inhibition and drug resistance. At present, novel drugs designed to target RNA editing(e.g., rebecsinib) are under development and have achieved outstanding results in animal experiments. Compared with traditional antitumor drugs, epigenetic antitumor drugs are expected to overcome the shackle of drug resistance and recurrence in hematological malignancies, and provide new treatment options for patients. This review summarized the recent advances in the regulation mechanism of ADAR1-mediated RNA editing events in hematologic malignancies, and further discussed the medical potential and clinical application of ADAR1.
