T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) is a highly aggressive hematologic malignancy with a poor prognosis, despite advancements in treatment. Many patients struggle with relapse or refractory disease. Investigating the role of the super-enhancer (SE) regulated gene ubiquitin-specific protease 20 (USP20) in T-ALL could enhance targeted therapies and improve clinical outcomes. Analysis of histone H3 lysine 27 acetylation (H3K27ac) chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-seq) data from six T-ALL cell lines and seven pediatric samples identified USP20 as an SE-regulated driver gene. Utilizing the Cancer Cell Line Encyclopedia (CCLE) and BloodSpot databases, it was found that USP20 is specifically highly expressed in T-ALL. Knocking down USP20 with short hairpin RNA (shRNA) increased apoptosis and inhibited proliferation in T-ALL cells. In vivo studies showed that USP20 knockdown reduced tumor growth and improved survival. The USP20 inhibitor GSK2643943A demonstrated similar anti-tumor effects. Mass spectrometry, RNA-Seq, and immunoprecipitation revealed that USP20 interacted with hypoxia-inducible factor 1 subunit alpha (HIF1A) and stabilized it by deubiquitination. Cleavage under targets and tagmentation (CUT&Tag) results indicated that USP20 co-localized with HIF1A, jointly modulating target genes in T-ALL. This study identifies USP20 as a therapeutic target in T-ALL and suggests GSK2643943A as a potential treatment strategy.

ObjectiveTo investigate the influenza vaccination coverage among kindergarten and primary school children in Zhejiang Province in 2023 and analyze the influencing factors, and to provide the basis for improving the effect of influenza vaccination in children. MethodsA multi-stage random cluster sampling method was used to select 3 681 parents of children from 10 primary schools and kindergartens based on economic level and geographical distribution in Zhejiang Province, who participated in an online questionnaire survey, including basic information about the children and their parents, parents’ knowledge about influenza, and their willingness to vaccination. ResultsAmong the 3 681 parents surveyed, 33.82% (1 245/3 681) reported that their children received influenza vaccination in 2023. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that factors contributing to children’s influenza vaccination included both parents [adjusted OR (95%CI): 1.56 (1.32‒1.84)] and children [6.04 (5.04‒7.27)] having a history of influenza vaccination, parents’ conviction the influenza vaccine could protect children from severe diseases [1.43 (1.19‒1.74)], and the willingness of most parents would let their children get vaccinated [1.40 (1.13‒1.74)]. In contrast, vaccine hesitancy among parents [0.55 (0.43‒0.69)] and the belief that influenza is just a common cold [0.80 (0.65‒1.00)] were hindering factors. ConclusionThe influenza vaccination coverage among children is insufficient. Both the vaccination history of parents and children, as well as parents’ correct understanding of influenza and the effectiveness of influenza vaccine, significantly influence the influenza vaccination status in children. Efforts to address vaccine hesitancy and misconceptions about influenza are essential to improve vaccination rates.

Objective:To comprehensively evaluate the cost and cost-effectiveness of the colorectal cancer screening program for key populations in Zhejiang Province from 2020 to 2022, and provide reference for optimizing colorectal cancer screening strategies.Methods:Based on the colorectal cancer screening program for key populations in Zhejiang Province from 2020 to 2022, parameters such as initial screening positivity rates, colonoscopy compliance rates, and detection rates for colorectal-related lesions among residents aged 50-74 were obtained. Questionnaire surveys assessed program costs and direct medical costs associated with colorectal cancer-related lesions. From a health system perspective, the cost-effectiveness ratio was calculated using the Early Detection Cost Index (EDCI) and the cost per detected case, followed by sensitivity analysis.Results:A total of 5 881 364 screenings were completed from 2020 to 2022. The initial screening positive rate (positive for either questionnaire or fecal immunochemical testing ) was 16.83%, with a colonoscopy compliance rates of 33.96% ( n=336 150). Detection rates for non-advanced adenomas, advanced adenomas, and colorectal cancer were 24.83% ( n=83 453), 11.91% ( n=40 033), and 1.01% ( n=3 397), respectively. Initial screening positivity rates and detection rates increased with age, while colonoscopy compliance rates decreased with age. Cost analysis showed a total project investment of 378 730 457 yuan, with initial screening costing 146 633 103 yuan (38.72%) and diagnostic colonoscopy 232 097 354 yuan (61.28%). The average cost per initial screening and diagnostic colonoscopy was 24.93 and 690.46 yuan, respectively. Direct medical costs for non-advanced adenomas, advanced adenomas, and colorectal cancer at stages Ⅰ, Ⅱ, Ⅲ, and Ⅳ were 4 921, 8 380, 42 547, 62 156, 66 720, and 72 334 yuan, respectively. Cost-effectiveness analysis indicated that screening needed to detect one case of colorectal cancer required 1 731 people and cost 111 490 yuan; the cost per detected advanced adenoma was 9 460 yuan, and the EDCI was 0.09. Costs decreased with increasing age per detected colorectal lesion. Sensitivity analysis showed that increasing colonoscopy compliance could reduce the cost-effectiveness ratio. Conclusions:The colorectal cancer screening program for key populations in Zhejiang Province demonstrates cost-effectiveness. Improving colonoscopy compliance can enhance overall screening effectiveness and economic benefits.

Objective:To evaluate left ventricular function and myocardial ischemia in patients with different degrees of left anterior descending(LAD)coronary artery stenosis by using post-stress regional myocardial work(MW)and coronary flow reserve(CFR),and to analyze the diagnostic efficacy of each parameter for different degrees of stenosis in the LAD.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 76 patients with suspected coronary artery disease who underwent coronary angiography and attended the Fourth Affliiated Hospital of Harbin Medical University from January 2023 to June 2024. According to the degree of LAD stenosis,30 cases were categorized into the mild stenosis group(stenosis < 50%),25 cases in the moderate stenosis group(50%≤stenosis < 70%),and 21 cases in the severe stenosis group(70% ≤ stenosis ≤ 90%). Transthoracic Doppler echocardiography was applied to obtain CFR LAD. Longitudinal strain in the left anterior descending region(LS LAD),peak strain dispersion(PSD),left anterior descending region work index(WI LAD)and left anterior descending region work efficiency(WE LAD)were obtained at rest and under stress,respectively. The LAD regional MW indexes were compared between the groups in two pairs. The correlation between CFR LAD and the degree of LAD stenosis was analyzed. ROC curves were plotted to compare the diagnostic efficacy of LAD regional MW parameters and CFR LAD for moderate and severe LAD stenosis. Results:①At rest:compared with the mild stenosis group,the absolute value of LS LAD,WI LAD,and WE LAD were reduced in the severe stenosis group,and the differences were statistically significant(all P < 0.05). Compared with the moderate stenosis group,WE LAD was reduced in the severe stenosis group,and the difference was statistically significant( P < 0.05). Differences in two-by-two comparisons between groups in the resting state for the remaining parameters were not statistically significant(all P > 0.05). Under stress:compared with the mild stenosis group,the absolute values of LS LAD,WI LAD,and WE LAD were reduced in the moderate and severe stenosis groups,and the PSD was increased in the severe stenosis group,and the differences were statistically significant(all P < 0.05). Compared with the moderate stenosis group,the absolute values of LS LAD,WI LAD,and WE LAD were reduced in the severe stenosis group,and the differences were statistically significant(all P < 0.05). Differences between two-by-two comparisons between groups in the remaining parameters at loading state were not statistically significant(all P > 0.05). ②CFR LAD was negatively correlated with the degree of LAD stenosis( r = -0.809, P < 0.05). ③The ROC curves showed that the peak WE LAD of the regional MW parameters predicated the largest area under the ROC curve(AUC)for moderate and severe stenosis in LAD,0.803 and 0.897,respectively,with cutoff values of 92.5% and 91.5%. The cutoffs of CFR LAD ≤ 2.5 and CFR LAD ≤ 2.0 predicted the greatest AUC for moderate and severe stenosis in LAD at 0.743 and 0.901,respectively. Peak WE LAD combined with CFR LAD predicted the greatest AUC for moderate and severe stenosis in LAD at 0.826 and 0.967,respectively. Conclusions:Regional MW parameters and CFR LAD can sensitively detect left ventricular hypo-function in patients with different degrees of stenosis in LAD. Peak WE LAD and CFR LAD are reliable predictors of moderate and severe stenosis in LAD. A combination of the two techniques can significantly improve diagnostic efficacy.

Osteoarthritis(OA),a common age-related chronic disease,is characterized by degenerative changes in the joints and surrounding tissues.Traditionally,research on OA has primarily focused on the pathological changes in articular cartilage and its repair.However,with the advancements in animal disease modeling in recent years,especially the widespread use of spatiotemporally specific transgenic mouse models,scholars have gradually come to realize that the subchondral bone also plays an important role in the occurrence and development of OA.That is,the pathological changes in articular cartilage and bone mutually affect and promote each other,jointly driving the progression of OA,involving such pathological processes as vascular invasion,ectopic calcification,nerve growth,and the occurrence of pain.Given the complexity of cartilage-bone pathological relationship,it is difficult to conduct in-depth research on subchondral bone pathology using clinical human samples,or to simulate the pathological processes of OA through in vitro cell experiments.Therefore,animal models play an irreplaceable role in investigating the pathological mechanisms of OA and developing clinical drugs.This review,in addition to providing an overview of OA animal models,synthesizes the latest progress in animal experimental research on OA,highlighting the active role of the cartilage-bone pathological relationship in OA progression.These new findings provide references for future in-depth investigations and also provide a theoretical basis for developing fundamental strategies for OA prevention and treatment.
