Distinct from the complementary inhibition mechanism through binding to the target with three-dimensional conformation of small molecule inhibitors, targeted protein degradation technology takes tremendous advantage of endogenous protein degradation pathway inside cells to degrade plenty of “undruggable” target proteins, which provides a novel route for the treatment of many serious diseases, mainly including proteolysis-targeting chimeras, lysosome-targeting chimeras, autophagy-targeting chimeras, antibody-based proteolysis-targeting chimeras, etc. Unlike proteolysis-targeting chimeras first found in 2001, which rely on ubiquitin-proteasome system to mainly degrade intracellular proteins of interest, lysosome-targeting chimeras identified in 2020, which was act as the fastly developing technology, utilize cellular lysosomal pathway through endocytosis mediated by lysosome-targeting receptor to degrade both extracellular and membrane proteins. As an emerging biomedical technology, nucleic acid-driven lysosome-targeting chimeras utilize nucleic acids as certain components of chimera molecule to replace with ligand to lysosome-targeting receptor or protein of interest, exhibiting broad application prospects and potential clinical value in disease treatment and drug development. This review mainly introduced present progress of nucleic acid-driven lysosome-targeting chimeras technology, including its basic composition, its advantages compared with antibody or glycopeptide-based lysosome-targeting chimeras, and focused on its chief application, in terms of the type of lysosome-targeting receptors. Most research about the development of nucleic acid-driven lysosome-targeting chimeras focused on those which utilized cation-independent mannose-6-phosphonate receptor as the lysosome-targeting receptor. Both mannose-6-phosphonate-modified glycopeptide and nucleic aptamer targeting cation-independent mannose-6-phosphonate receptor, even double-stranded DNA molecule moiety can be taken advantage as the ligand to lysosome-targeting receptor. The same as classical lysosome-targeting chimeras, asialoglycoprotein receptor can also be used for advance of nucleic acid-driven lysosome-targeting chimeras. Another new-found lysosome-targeting receptor, scavenger receptor, can bind dendritic DNA molecules to mediate cellular internalization of complex and lysosomal degradation of target protein, suggesting the successful application of scavenger receptor-mediated nucleic acid-driven lysosome-targeting chimeras. In addition, this review briefly overviewed the history of lysosome-targeting chimeras, including first-generation and second-generation lysosome-targeting chimeras through cation-independent mannose-6-phosphonate receptor-mediated and asialoglycoprotein receptor-mediated endocytosis respectively, so that a clear timeline can be presented for the advance of chimera technique. Meantime, current deficiency and challenge of lysosome-targeting chimeras was also mentioned to give some direction for deep progress of lysosome-targeting chimeras. Finally, according to faulty lysosomal degradation efficiency, more cellular mechanism where lysosome-targeting chimeras perform degradation of protein of interest need to be deeply explored. In view of current progress and direction of nucleic acid-driven lysosome-targeting chimeras, we discussed its current challenges and development direction in the future. Stability of natural nucleic acid molecule and optimized chimera construction have a great influence on the biological function of lysosome-targeting chimeras. Discovery of novel lysosome-targeting receptors and nucleic aptamer with higher affinity to the target will greatly facilitate profound advance of chimera technique. In summary, nucleic acid-driven lysosome-targeting chimeras have many superiorities, such as lower immunogenicity, expedient synthesis of chimera molecules and so on, in contrast to classical lysosome-targeting chimeras, making it more valuable. Also, the chimera technology provides new ideas and methods for biomedical research, drug development and clinical treatment, and can be used more widely through further research and optimization.

Objective: To explore the relationship between sleep quality and executive function among middle school students, so as to provide theoretical support for the promotion of adolescents physical and mental health development. Methods: From September to December 2023, 5 713 junior and senior high school students aged 13 to 18 were selected by stratified cluster random sampling method from Shanghai, Suzhou, Taiyuan, Wuyuan, Xingyi, and Urumqi. Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index was used to conduct sleep quality survey. And conduct executive function was tested on middle school students, including inhibitory function, refresh function and conversion function tests. Spearman correlation and linear regression were used to analyze the relationship between sleep quality and executive function of middle school students. Results: The total Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) score of boys was [4.0(2.0,6.0)] and that of girls was [5.0(3.0,6.0)], and the difference was statistically significant ( Z=-10.90, P < 0.01 ). The total PSQI score of boys was positively correlated with both 2-back reaction time and conversion function of executive function ( r =0.04, 0.04); the total PSQI score of girls was negatively correlated with 2-back reaction time ( r =-0.04) ( P <0.05). After controlling for variables such as mental health, physical activity and nutritional status,linear regression analyses showed that PSQI total score of middle school students was positively correlated with the inhibitory function and the conversion function response time [ B (95% CI )=1.28(0.21-2.34), 7.62(2.34-12.90), P <0.05]; the associations of total PSQI scores among middle school students with both 2-back and 1-back response time were not statistically significant [ B (95% CI )=-5.88(-16.14-4.37), 8.05( -3.39 -19.50), P >0.05]. Conclusion Positive correlations are observed on sleep quality with inhibitory and conversion functions of executive function among middle school students.

Background::There is a need for effective and safe therapies for psoriasis that provide sustained benefits. The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy and safety of tildrakizumab, an anti-interleukin-23p19 monoclonal antibody, for treating moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis in Chinese patients.Methods::In this multi-center, double-blind, phase III trial, patients with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis were enrolled and randomly assigned (1:1) to receive subcutaneous tildrakizumab 100 mg or placebo at weeks 0 and 4. Patients initially assigned to placebo were switched to receive tildrakizumab at weeks 12, 16, and every 12 weeks thereafter. Patients in the tildrakizumab group continued with tildrakizumab at week 16, and every 12 weeks until week 52. The primary endpoint was the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI 75) response rate at week 12.Results::At week 12, tildrakizumab demonstrated significantly higher PASI 75 response rates (66.4% [73/110] vs. 12.7% [14/110]; difference, 51.4% [95% confidence interval (CI), 40.72, 62.13]; P <0.001) and Physician’s Global Assessment (60.9% [67/110] vs. 10.0% [11/110]; difference, 49.1% [95% CI, 38.64, 59.62]; P <0.001) compared to placebo. PASI 75 response continued to improve over time in both tildrakizumab and placebo-switching to tildrakizumab groups, reaching maximal efficacy after 28 weeks (86.8% [92/106] vs. 82.4% [89/108]) and maintained up to 52 weeks (91.3% [95/104] vs. 87.4% [90/103]). Most treatment-emergent adverse events were mild and not related to tildrakizumab. Conclusion::Tildrakizumab demonstrated durable efficacy through week 52 and was well tolerated in Chinese patients with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis.Trial registration::ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT05108766.

Objective To explore the safety and efficacy of ultrasound-guided minimally invasive(16 F)partial tubeless percutaneous nephrolithotomy(PCNL)in the treatment of renal and ureteral upper calculus with high-risk factors.Methods 29 patients with renal or/and ureteral upper calculus with high-risk factors from May 2021 to Mar 2024 were retrospectively analyzed.Among them,there were 6 cases of cardiac insufficiency,10 cases of pulmonary insufficiency,10 cases of renal insufficiency,10 cases of hypertension,5 cases of diabetes,1 case of postoperative difficult airway of laryngeal cancer,and 7 cases of cerebrovascular and neuropathy.All the patients underwent PCNL with 16 F microchannel under the ultrasound-guided after local anesthesia,and the ureteral stent was routinely placed after surgery without insetting nephrostomy tube,that was,partial tubeless PCNL.Results All the patients completed the operation,of which 6 patients due to infection and renal dysfunction,first under local anesthesia ultra-microstomy(F 6 single J tube)drainage.PCNL was performed after the condition was stabilized.The operative time was 30～94 min,with an average of(55.8±16.7)min.The intraoperative visual analogue scale(VAS)was 3～6,with an average of(4.2±0.9).The postoperative hemoglobin decreased by 1～26 g/L,with an average of(8.4±6.6)g/L,and the postoperative VAS was 2～7,with an average of(3.2±1.2).The stone-free rate was 82.8％(24/29)by abdominal CT examination 2 to 3 days after surgery.1 case underwent flexible ureteroscopy under local anesthesia in 3 weeks,2 cases underwent extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy,and 2 cases underwent drug lithotripsy due to renal multiple small calculi.1 case underwent blood transfusion and renal artery embolization due to arteriovenous fistula,no open surgery occurred,and no complications such as pleural injury.Conclusion Local anesthesia partial tubeless PCNL by ultrasound-guided for the treatment of high-risk renal or/and ureteral calculus has the advantages of low anesthesia risk,fewer complications,rapid recovery,and satisfactory surgical results,and can be used as a surgical method for such patients.

To analyze the biological characteristics of Pasteurella multocida in bovine respiratory tract and its prevalence in large-scale cattle farms,bacterial isolation,culture,and morphological observation were conducted on the lungs and liver samples of dead cows suffering from respiratory diseases in Hohhot,Inner Mongolia.The isolated strains were studied through biochemical testing,16S rRNA gene sequencing,specific primer PCR identification,capsule serotyping,pathogenicity testing,virulence gene testing,drug sensitivity testing,and drug resistance gene detection methods.The results showed that six strains of Pasteurella multocida serotype A were isolated and identi-fied from the lungs of diseased and dead cows.After sequencing the 16S rRNA sequence of the bac-teria,it was found that the six strains of Pasteurella multocida had the closest genetic relationship with the Chongqing isolate CQ2(CP033599.1).The results of mouse pathogenicity test and viru-lence gene detection showed that all isolates were pathogenic and carried at least 16 or more related virulence genes such as exbB,nanB,sodC,oma 87,etc.,but no hsf1 and toxA were detected.The results of drug sensitivity tests and resistance gene detection showed that the isolated strains were sensitive to different degrees of antibiotics such as ciprofloxacin,ofloxacin,and cefotaxime.They were resistant to streptomycin,clindamycin,and lincomycin,and resistance genes of str A,strB,and tet(H)were detected.The results indicate that there is a certain correlation between the pathoge-nicity and virulence genes,drug resistance phenotype,and drug resistance genes of Pasteurellamultocida type A in cattle.It is recommended to use quinolones(such as ciprofloxacin)and cepha-losporins(such as cefotaxime)antibacterial drugs in clinical practice,which can provide scientific basis and prevention and control plans for the prevention and treatment of respiratory diseases caused by Pasteurella multocida in cattle farms,and lay a foundation for the epidemiological mo-nitoring of bovine respiratory multocida pasteurellosis.

Objective:To explore the surgical techniques and effects of transfer of the free chimeric functional thoracodorsal artery perforator flap (TDAPF) with latissimus dorsi in reconstruction of dynamic muscle and soft tissue defects in forearm.Methods:From January 2014 to December 2020, a total of 13 transfer surgery of free chimeric functional TDAPF with vascularised latissimus dorsi were performed in the Department of Hand Surgery, Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, Ningbo Sixth Hospital, to reconstruct forearm composite defects. The patients were 12 males and 1 female with an average age of 33.2 years old. They all had open forearm injuries, with 5 in the left and 8 in the right. Removal of inactivated muscles, exploration and repair of blood vessels and nerves were performed in emergency surgery, and VSD were applied after the surgery. Phase II reconstructive surgery were completed within 4 to 12 days, with 7.5 days in average. The wounds and flaps sized were 9.0 cm×8.0 cm - 21.0 cm×11.0 cm and were 10.0 cm×9.0 cm - 22.0 cm×12.0 cm, respectively. The volume of transferred muscles ranged were 9.0 cm × 2.0 cm × 1.5 cm - 19.0 cm × 9.0 cm × 1.5 cm. Free chimeric functional muscular flaps were transferred to reconstruct the musculus flexor digitorum profundus in 4 patients, the musculus extensor digitorum communis in 8 patients, the musculus flexor carpi radialis in 3 patients, and the musculus flexor pollicis longus in 1 patient. Reconstruction of both of musculus flexor carpi radialis and musculus extensor digitorum communis with 2 functional sub-blocks of latissimus dorsi were performed in 3 patients. All donor sites were closed primarily. All patients were included in the postoperative follow-up to evaluate the appearance of flaps, range of motion of the digits, recovery of muscle strength and gripping power, at the outpatient clinics or through the telephone interview.Results:A total of 12 flaps survived uneventfully after reconstructive surgery. One flap developed a vascular crisis and it was rectified after surgical exploration. Postoperative follow-up ranged from 17 to 52 months, with a mean of 34.1 months. Appearances of limbs and flaps were good without obvious bulky, hyperpigmentation or scar contracture. Four patients with reconstructed musculus flexor digitorum profundus showed muscle strength recovery of M 4, with the fingertips measured lower than 2.0 cm from the centre of palm when clenching a fist, and the average gripping strength of the hand reached 27.5% (20%-35%) to the healthy side. Five patients with reconstructed musculus extensor digitorum communis showed muscle strength recovery of M 4, and there was no obvious limitation in fingers flexion and extension, with the average gripping strength of the hand reached 75.4% (65%-80%) to the healthy side. Of the 3 patients with reconstruction of both power muscles, the recovery of muscle strength of musculus flexor carpi radialis was at M 4 in all the 3 patients, and the musculus extensor digitorum communis was at M 4 in 1 and M 3 in 2 patients. However, the patient who received reconstruction of musculus flexor pollicis had no significant recovery in muscle strength. Conclusion:Transfer of free chimeric functional TDAPF combines the benefits of a perforator flap and a functional muscle transfer together. This surgical technique can effectively reconstruct damaged muscle groups in forearm and resulting in good hand movement. Additionally, it can also restore the aesthetic appearance of forearm, hence makes it an excellent option for complex wound coverage.

Objective:To investigate the influence of curative-intent resection with textbook outcomes of liver surgery (TOLS) on long-term prognosis of gallbladder carcinoma (GBC).Methods:The retrospective cohort study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of 824 patients with GBC in the national multicenter database of Biliary Surgery Group of Elite Group of Chinese Journal of Digestive Surgery, who were admitted to 15 medical centers from January 2014 to January 2021, were collected. There were 285 males and 539 females, aged (62±11)years. According to the evalua-tion criteria of TOLS, patients were divided into those who achieved TOLS and those who did not achieve TOLS. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, and com-parison between groups was conducted using the independent sample t test. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M( Q1, Q3), and comparison between groups was conducted using the Mann-Whitney U test. Count data were described as absolute numbers, and comparison between groups was conducted using the chi-square test. Comparison of ordinal data were conduc-ted using the Mann-Whitney U test. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate survival rate and draw survival curve, and the Log-rank test was used for survival analysis. The COX stepwise regression model with backward Wald method was used for univariate and multivariate analyses. Results:(1) Achievement of TOLS. Of the 824 patients undergoing curative-intent resection for GBC, there were 510 cases achieving TOLS and 314 cases not achieving TOLS. (2) Follow-up. Of the 824 patients undergoing curative-intent resection for GBC, after excluding 112 deaths within 90 days after discharge, 712 cases were included for the survival analysis. The median follow-up time, median overall survival time and 5-year overall survival rate of the 510 patients achieving TOLS were 22.1(11.4,30.1)months, 47.6(30.6,64.6)months and 47.5%. The median follow-up time, median overall survival time and 5-year overall survival rate of the 202 patients not achieving TOLS were 14.0(6.8,25.5)months, 24.3(20.0,28.6)months and 21.0%. There was a significant difference in overall survival between patients achieving TOLS and patients not achieving TOLS ( χ2=58.491, P<0.05). (3) Analysis of factors influencing prognosis of patients. Results of multivariate analysis showed that TOLS, carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), CA19-9, poorly differentiation of tumor, T2 stage of eighth edition of American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging, T3 and T4 stage of eighth edition of AJCC staging, N1 stage of the eighth edition of AJCC staging, N2 stage of the eighth edition of AJCC staging, adjuvant therapy were independent factors influencing overall survival time of patients undergoing curative-intent resection for GBC ( hazard ratio=0.452, 1.479, 1.373, 1.612, 1.455, 1.481, 1.835, 1.978, 0.538, 95% c onfidence interval as 0.352-0.581, 1.141-1.964, 1.052-1.791, 1.259-2.063, 1.102-1.920, 1.022-2.147, 1.380-2.441, 1.342-2.915, 0.382-0.758, P<0.05). Conclusion:Patients under-going curative-intent resection for GBC with TOLS can achieve better long-term prognosis.

Objective To investigate the incidence rate,clinical characteristics,and prognosis of neonatal stroke in Shenzhen,China.Methods Led by Shenzhen Children's Hospital,the Shenzhen Neonatal Data Collaboration Network organized 21 institutions to collect 36 cases of neonatal stroke from January 2020 to December 2022.The incidence,clinical characteristics,treatment,and prognosis of neonatal stroke in Shenzhen were analyzed.Results The incidence rate of neonatal stroke in 21 hospitals from 2020 to 2022 was 1/15 137,1/6 060,and 1/7 704,respectively.Ischemic stroke accounted for 75％(27/36);boys accounted for 64％(23/36).Among the 36 neonates,31(86％)had disease onset within 3 days after birth,and 19(53％)had convulsion as the initial presentation.Cerebral MRI showed that 22 neonates(61％)had left cerebral infarction and 13(36％)had basal ganglia infarction.Magnetic resonance angiography was performed for 12 neonates,among whom 9(75％)had involvement of the middle cerebral artery.Electroencephalography was performed for 29 neonates,with sharp waves in 21 neonates(72％)and seizures in 10 neonates(34％).Symptomatic/supportive treatment varied across different hospitals.Neonatal Behavioral Neurological Assessment was performed for 12 neonates(33％,12/36),with a mean score of(32±4)points.The prognosis of 27 neonates was followed up to around 12 months of age,with 44％(12/27)of the neonates having a good prognosis.Conclusions Ischemic stroke is the main type of neonatal stroke,often with convulsions as the initial presentation,involvement of the middle cerebral artery,sharp waves on electroencephalography,and a relatively low neurodevelopment score.Symptomatic/supportive treatment is the main treatment method,and some neonates tend to have a poor prognosis.

Patient 1,a 12-day-old female infant,presented with fever,cough,dyspnea,and elevated infection markers,requiring respiratory support.Metagenomic next-generation sequencing(mNGS)of blood and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid revealed Legionella pneumophila(LP),leading to diagnoses of LP pneumonia and LP sepsis.The patient was treated with erythromycin for 15 days and azithromycin for 5 days,resulting in recovery and discharge.Patient 2,an 11-day-old female infant,presented with dyspnea,fever,elevated infection markers,and multiple organ dysfunction,requiring mechanical ventilation.mNGS of blood and cerebrospinal fluid indicated LP,leading to diagnoses of LP pneumonia,LP sepsis,and LP intracranial infection.The patient was treated with erythromycin for 19 days and was discharged after recovery.Neonatal LP pneumonia lacks specific clinical symptoms,and azithromycin is the preferred antimicrobial agent.The use of mNGS can provide early and definitive diagnosis for severe neonatal pneumonia of unknown origin.

Objective To observe the value of 5.0T MRI in measuring the volumes of hippocampal formation(HF)subfields in healthy adults.Methods Cranial high-resolution TIWI were prospectively obtained in 23 healthy adult volunteers using 5.0T and 3.0T MR scanners,respectively.HF was divided into 38 subfields,and then the volume of each subfield was measured using FreeSurfer software.The volumes of HF subfield based on 5.0T and 3.0T MR T1WI were compared,and the correlations of the outcomes were analyzed.Results Significant differences of the volumes of bilateral hippocampal tails,left parasubiculum,left molecular layer of hippocampal head,left granular cell-molecular layer-dentate gyrus head,right granular cell-molecular layer-dentate gyrus body,left cornu Ammonis(CA)1 head,left CA3 head,left CA4 head,right fimbria of hippocampus and left hippocampus amygdala transition area were found between 5.0T and 3.0T T1WI(all P＜0.05).The volumes of HF subfields measured based on 5.0T and 3.0T T1WI were moderately to highly positively correlated(all r＞0.5,all P＜0.01).Conclusion 5.0T MRI could be used to measure the volume of HF subfield in adults.
