With the widespread use of antibiotics, drug-resistant bacterial infections have become a significant threat to human health. Finding new antibacterial strategies that can effectively control drug-resistant bacterial infections has become an urgent task. Unlike small molecule drugs that target bacterial proteins, antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) can target genes related to bacterial resistance, pathogenesis, growth, reproduction and biofilm formation. By regulating the expression of these genes, ASO can inhibit or kill bacteria, providing a novel approach for the development of antibacterial drugs. To overcome the challenge of delivering antisense oligonucleotide into bacterial cells, various drug delivery systems have been applied in this field, including cell-penetrating peptides, lipid nanoparticles and inorganic nanoparticles, which have injected new momentum into the development of antisense oligonucleotide in the antibacterial realm. This review summarizes the current development of small nucleic acid drugs, the antibacterial mechanisms, targets, sequences and delivery vectors of antisense oligonucleotide, providing a reference for the research and development of antisense oligonucleotide in the treatment of bacterial infections.

Alzheimer's disease(AD)is a neurodegenerative disease with age-related cognitive decline.Sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor 2(S1PR2)is involved in a variety of cellular processes and has been shown to play an important role in nervous system development.This study aimed to investigate the effects and possible mechanism of S1PR2 on Aβ25-35 induced cell model damage of AD.In this study,SH-SY5Y cells were induced by Aβ25-35 to construct a cell damage model,and the expression of S1PR2 in cells was interfered by targeting sequence.The protein and gene expression levels of S1PR2 were detected by Western blot and RT-PCR.It was found that the expression of S1PR2 was significantly increased at mR-NA and protein levels in Aβ25-35-induced SH-SY5Y cell model(P＜0.01),and its expression was signifi-cantly decreased after S1PR2 intervention(P＜0.001).The cell proliferation activity was detected by CCK8,and apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry.The results showed that the proliferation activity of Aβ25-35 induced SH-SY5Y cells was significantly increased,and apoptosis was decreased after S1PR2 in-tervention(P＜0.01).The protein levels of APP,Tau,p-Tau,and PSD95 in cells were detected by Western blot to analyze the effect of S1PR2 on the pathology of AD.It was found that after S1PR2 inter-vention,the expressions of APP,Tau,and p-Tau in the AD cell model were significantly decreased(P＜0.001),and the expression of synaptic protein PSD95 was increased(P＜0.001),which could signifi-cantly improve the pathological damage in Aβ25-35-induced SH-SY5Y cell model.In addition,ATP pro-duction was detected by the kit,and ROS content and mitochondrial membrane potential were detected by flow cytometry to analyze the mitochondrial function.Results found that ATP production and mitochondri-al membrane potential was significantly decreased,whereas the ROS content was increased in Aβ25 35 in-duced SH-SY5Y cells(P＜0.001).Intervention with S1PR2 significantly increased ATP production and mitochondrial membrane potential,but decreased ROS content(P＜0.001).Finally,the protein levels of the AKT/mTOR pathway were detected by Western blot.The results showed that S1PR2 significantly in-hibited the activation of the AKT/mTOR pathway induced by Aβ25-35 in SH-SY5Y cells.In conclusion,S1PR2 may be involved in the pathogenesis of Aβ25-35-induced SH-SY5Y cells by promoting mitochondrial function through the AKT/mTOR pathway.

Quercetin (Que) is a flavonoid compound widely distributed in nature with various biological activities.Its anti-inflammatory effect plays a crucial role in many diseases,closely related to its regula-tion of histone post-translational modifications.However,there have been no detailed reports on the anti-inflammatory effects of quercetin regulating histone post-translational modifications.In this study,we first investigated the effect of quercetin on the M1 macrophages polarization.The results showed that quercetin can significantly down-regulate the levels of interleukin-1β(IL-1β) and interleukin-6 (IL-6 ) in M1 macrophages.Next,we used the super stable isotope labeling by amino acids in cell culture (super-SI-LAC) method derived from SILAC technology based on mass spectrometry to systematically analyze the post-translational modification levels of histone in macrophages treated with quercetin.A total of 30 his-tone modification sites were quantified,of which 12 histone lysine acetylation marks were significantly downregulated and 4 lysine methylation sites were upregulated (fold change>1.2,P<0.05),and some sites were verified by Western blot (WB),which was consistent with the mass spectrometry results.In conclusion,a comprehensive analysis of quercetin on regulating macrophage histone modifications in this study provides reliable data references and new insights for studying its anti-inflammatory mechanism.

Objective:To analyze the efficacy and safety of flumatinib,a second-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor(TKI)independently developed in China,in patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia in chronic phase(CML-CP)who falied first-line and second-line treatment.Methods:The clinical data of 30 CML-CP patients treated with flumatinib in Lianyungang First People's Hospital from January 2020 to September 2022 were collected retrospectively.Among them,15 patients who received imatinib first-line treatment but failed treatment were included in the second-line group,and the other 15 patients who failed second-line treatment with nilotinib or dasatinib were included in the third-line group.The hematological and molecular responses of the patients in the two groups at 3,6 and 12 months of treatment,and the event-free survival(EFS)and adverse reactions of patients at the end of follow-up were statistical analyzed.Results:At 3,6,and 12 months of treatment,10,11,and 12 patients in the second line group achieved major molecular response(MMR),which was higher than that of 3,4,and 5 patients in the third line group(P=0.010,P=0.011,P=0.010).At 3 months of treatment,12 and 13 patients achieved complete hematological response(CHR)and early molecular response(EMR)in the second-line group,which was higher than that of 9 and 13 patients in the third-line group,but the difference between the two groups was not statistically significant(P=0.232,P=1.000);At 6 and 12 months of treatment,6 and 7 patients in the second-line group achieved MR4.5,which were higher than of 3 and 2 cases in the third-line group,but the difference was not statistically significant(P=0.427,P=0.713).The hematological adverse reactions of patients in the second-line group during treatment the period were mainly grade 1-2 thrombocytopenia and anemia,and no grade 3-4 of adverse reactions occurred.In the third-line group,there were 2 cases of grade 1-2 thrombocytopenia,grade 1-2 anemia and white blood cell 3 cases were reduced each,1 case of grade 3-4 anemia,2 cases of grade 3-4 neutropenia.The non-hematological adverse reactions in the second-line group were rash(2 cases),headache(1 case),diarrhea(1 case),fatigue(1 case),limb pain(1 case).There were 1 cases of diarrhea,1 cases of nausea,and 1 cases of edema in the third-line group.There was no statistical significance in hematological and non-hematological adverse reactions between the two groups of patients(P＞0.05).At the end of follow-up,the EFS rate of patients in the second-line group was higher than that in the third-line group(100％vs 93.3％),but the difference was not statistically significant(P=0.317).Conclusion:The second-generation TKI flumatinib independently developed in China,has good curative effect and safety for CML-CP patients who failed first-line and second-line treatment.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of ixazomib-containing regimens in the treatment of patients with multiple myeloma(MM).Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical efficacy and adverse reactions of 32 MM patients treated with a combined regimen containing ixazomib in the Hematology Department of the First People's Hospital of Lianyungang from January 2020 to February 2022.Among the 32 patients,15 patients were relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma(R/RMM)(R/RMM group),17 patients who responded to bortezomib induction therapy but converted to ixazomib-containing regimen due to adverse events(AE)or other reasons(conversion treatment group).The treatment included IPD regimen(ixazomib+pomalidomide+dexamethasone),IRD regimen(ixazomib+lenalidomide+dexamethasone),ICD regimen(ixazomib+cyclophosphamide+dexamethasone),ID regimen(ixazomib+dexamethasone).Results:Of 15 R/RMM patients,overall response rate(ORR)was 53.3％(8/15),among them,1 achieved complete response(CR),2 achieved very good partial response(VGPR)and 5 achieved partial response(PR).The ORR of the IPD,IRD,ICD and ID regimen group were 100％(3/3),42.9％(3/7),33.3％(1/3),50％(1/2),respectively,there was no statistically significant difference in ORR between four groups(x2=3.375,P=0.452).The ORR of patients was 50％after first-line therapy,42.9％after second line therapy,60％after third line therapy or more,with no statistically significant difference among them(x2=2.164,P=0.730).In conversion treatment group,ORR was 88.2％(15/17),among them,6 patients achieved CR,5 patients achieved VGPR and 4 patients achieved PR.There was no statistically significant difference in ORR between the IPD(100％,3/3),IRD(100％,6/6),ICD(100％,3/3)and ID(60％,3/5)regimen groups(x2=3.737,P=0.184).The median progression-free survival(PFS)time of R/RMM patients was 9 months(95％CI:6.6-11.4 months),the median overall survival(OS)time was 18 months(95％CI:11.8-24.4 months).The median PFS time of conversion treatment group was 15 months(95％CI:7.3-22.7 months),the median OS time not reached.A total of 10 patients suffered grade 3-4 adverse event(AE).The common hematological toxicities were leukocytopenia,anemia,thrombocytopenia.The common non-hematological toxicities were gastrointestinal symptoms(diarrhea,nausea and vomit),peripheral neuropathy,fatigue and infections.Grade 1-2 peripheral neurotoxicity occurred in 7 patients.Conclusion:The ixazomib-based chemotherapy regimens are safe and effective in R/RMM therapy,particularly for conversion patients who are effective for bortezomib therapy.The AE was manageable and safe.

Objective:To detect the pharmacokinetic(PK)parameters of coagulation factor Ⅷ(FⅧ)in adult patients with severe hemophilia A,identify the potential factors influencing FⅧ PK,and optimize the use of FⅧ in individual prophylaxis regimens.Methods:PK characteristics of FⅧ were studied in a total of 23 severe hemophilia A adults.The correlation of patients'characteristics including age,von Willebrand factor antigen(vWF:Ag),blood group,weight,body mass index(BMI)and FⅧ genotype,with FⅧ PK were evaluated.Individual prophylaxis regimens were given based on FⅧ PK parameters.Results:The mean terminal half-life(t1/2)of FⅧ was 20.6±9.3 h,ranged from 11.47 h to 30.12 h.The age(r=0.580)and vWF:Ag(r=0.814)were significantly positively correlated with t1/2 of FⅧ.The mean area under the plasma concentration curve(AUC)of FⅧ was 913±399(328-1 878)IU h/dl,and the AUC of FⅧ was positively correlated with age(r=0.557)and vWF:Ag(r=0.784).The mean residence time(MRT)of FⅧ was 24.7±12.4(13.2-62.2)h,and the MRT of FⅧ was positively correlated with age(r=0.664)and vWF:Ag(r=0.868).The mean in vivo recovery(IVR)of FⅧ was 2.59±0.888(1.5-4.29)IU/dl per IU/kg,the mean clearance(CL)of FⅧ was 3±1.58(0.97-7.18)ml/(kg·h),and there was no significant correlation of IVR and CL with age and vWF:Ag.According to the individual PK parameters,ultra low-dose,low-dose and moderate-dose FⅧ were applied to 15,6,2 adults patients with severe hemophilia A for prophylaxis,respectively.Conclusion:There are significant individual differences in the FⅧ half-life of adult patients with severe hemophilia A.The older the patient,the higher the vWF:Ag level,and the longer the FⅧ half-life.Individual administration is required based on the FⅧ PK parameters to optimize prophylaxis treatment.

Objective: The effect on fat infiltration (FI) of paraspinal muscles in degenerative lumbar spinal diseases has been demonstrated except for spinopelvic parameters. The present study is to identify the effect of spinopelvic parameters on FI of paraspinal muscle (PSM) and psoas major muscle (PMM) in patients with degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis. Methods: A single-center, retrospective cross-sectional study of 160 patients with degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis (DLS) and lumbar stenosis (LSS) who had lateral full-spine x-ray and lumbar spine magnetic resonance imaging was conducted. PSM and PMM FIs were defined as the ratio of fat to its muscle cross-sectional area. The FIs were compared among patients with different pelvic tilt (PT) and pelvic incidence (PI), respectively. Results: The PSM FI correlated significantly with pelvic parameters in DLS patients, but not in LSS patients. The PSM FI in pelvic retroversion (PT > 25°) was 0.54 ± 0.13, which was significantly higher in DLS patients than in normal pelvis (0.41 ± 0.14) and pelvic anteversion (PT < 5°) (0.34 ± 0.12). The PSM FI of DLS patients with large PI ( > 60°) was 0.50 ± 0.13, which was higher than those with small ( < 45°) and normal PI (0.37 ± 0.11 and 0.36 ± 0.13). However, the PSM FI of LSS patients didn’t change significantly with PT or PI. Moreover, the PMM FI was about 0.10–0.15, which was significantly lower than the PSM FI, and changed with PT and PI in a similar way of PSM FI with much less in magnitude. Conclusion FI of the PSMs increased with greater pelvic retroversion or larger pelvic incidence in DLS patients, but not in LSS patients.
