Brain imaging abnormalities are present in schizophrenia (SZ) and bipolar disorder (BD), demonstrating disease-specific changes, yet they also share similarities in certain brain regions or functional characteristics, with SZ potentially exhibiting more extensive brain damage compared to BD. Structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies demonstrated widespread gray matter reductions in SZ, particularly in the prefrontal and temporal lobes. In BD, gray matter thickening was observed in the prefrontal lobes during manic episodes, while a reduction in gray matter was noted in the amygdala and hippocampus during depressive episodes. Both SZ and BD exhibited increased ventricular volume and reduced overall brain volume. Functional MRI studies revealed reduced functional connectivity in the prefrontal and temporal lobes in SZ, with decreased global and local efficiency in brain regions such as the hippocampus and cingulate gyrus. BD showed enhanced connectivity in the anterior cingulate gyrus and the default mode network (DMN). Both SZ and BD demonstrated altered functional connectivity in areas such as the striatum, salience network, central executive network and DMN. Diffusion tensor imaging studies showed decreased fractional anisotropy (FA) in the corpus callosum of SZ, with a decrease in FA in the left fronto-occipital fasciculus in BD. Both SZ and BD exhibited reduced FA in the uncinate fasciculus and corpus callosum. Magnetic resonance spectroscopy revealed decreased concentrations of glutathione, N-acetylaspartate (NAA) and inositol in the anterior cingulate gyrus of SZ. In BD, glutathione and inositol concentrations were elevated in the anterior cingulate gyrus, while NAA levels decreased during depressive episodes and increased during remission. Both SZ and BD showed increased levels of glutamate and gamma-aminobutyric acid in the prefrontal cortex. This article provides a review of the current evidence on the differences and similarities in multimodal magnetic resonance brain imaging between SZ and BD, aiming to offer a reference for future exploration of neuroimaging biomarkers and the neurobiological mechanisms of SZ and BD.

In recent years, immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have been widely used in malignant solid tumors with remarkable efficacy. However, in colorectal cancer (CRC), ICIs have shown significant therapeutic effects only in patients with highly microsatellite unstable/mismatch repair-deficient metastatic CRC and these patients are only a minority of all CRC patients. In contrast, the majority of patients, those with microsatellite stable (MSS)/mismatch repair-complete (pMMR)-type metastatic CRC, could hardly benefit from ICI monotherapies, and immune combination therapies have become the key to solveing this clinical challenge. This article introduces the common patterns and possible mechanisms of immune-combination therapies for MSS/pMMR-type CRC, the exploration and progress made in the application of immune-combination therapies, as well as the possible predictive markers of efficacy of immune therapies. The prospects and directions of ICIs in the treatment of MSS/pMMR-type CRC are also discussed.

Objective:To investigate the correlation and predictive value of serum miR-149-5p and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) and hemorrhagic transformation (HT) after intravenous thrombolysis in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS).Methods:Patients with AIS received intravenous thrombolytic therapy in Shangqiu First People's Hospital from September 2019 to February 2022 were enrolled prospectively. They were divided into HT group and non-HT group according to whether HT occurred after intravenous thrombolysis. Serum miR-149-5p and MMP-9 were measured by real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay respectively. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to determine the independent risk factors for HT after thrombolysis. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the predictive value of serum miR-149-5p, MMP-9 and their combination for HT after intravenous thrombolysis. Results:A total of 358 patients with AIS received intravenous thrombolytic therapy were enrolled, 71 of them (19.83%) developed HT. The serum MMP-9 in the HT group was significantly higher than that in the non-HT group (273.95±35.23 μg/L vs. 202.71±30.52 μg/L; t=17.062, P<0.001), while the serum miR-149-5p was significantly lower than that in the non-HT group (0.26±0.06 vs. 1.03±0.15; t=42.387, P<0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that atrial fibrillation (odds ratio [ OR] 2.282, 95% confidence interval [ CI] 1.731-3.008; P<0.001), time from onset to intravenous thrombolysis ( OR 2.334, 95% CI 1.458-3.735; P<0.001), miR-149-5p ( OR 1.758, 95% CI 1.142-2.705; P=0.010) and MMP-9 ( OR 1.535, 95% CI 1.106-2.129; P=0.010) were the independent risk factors for HT after intravenous thrombolysis. Serum miR-149-5p (area under the curve 0.856, 95% CI 0.803-0.909; when the optimal cut-off value was 0.741, the sensitivity was 80.3% and the specificity was 89.9%), MMP-9 (area under the curve 0.875, 95% CI 0.821-0.929; when the optimal cut-off value was 240.051 μg/L, the sensitivity was 83.1% and the specificity was 90.2%) and their combination (area under the curve 0.897, 95% CI 0.854-0.941; sensitivity 84.5% and specificity 90.6%) had better predictive value for HT after thrombolysis, and there were no significant differences in the predictive value among the three. Conclusions:After intravenous thrombolysis, the serum miR-149-5p is lower and MMP-9 is higher at admission in patients with HT in patients with AIS. Both of them and their combination have better predictive value for HT after intravenous thrombolysis.

The shortage of medical resources promotes medical treatment reform, and smart healthcare is a promising strategy to solve this problem. With the development of Internet, real-time health status is expected to be monitored at home by using flexible healthcare systems, which puts forward new demands on flexible substrates for sensors. Currently, the flexible substrates are mainly traditional petroleum-based polymers, which are not renewable. As a natural polymer, cellulose, owing to its wide range of sources, convenient processing, biodegradability and so on, is an ideal alternative. In this review, the application progress of nanocellulose in flexible sensors is summarized. The structure and the modification methods of cellulose and nanocellulose are introduced at first, and then the application of nanocellulose flexible sensors in real-time medical monitoring is summarized. Finally, the advantages and future challenges of nanocellulose in the field of flexible sensors are discussed.
