ObjectiveTo investigate whether the CD151 YXXφ motif point mutant affects vascular permeability by regulating vesicle internalization and recycling. MethodsCD151 knockout （KO） and wild-type （WT） mice were used. A modified Miles assay was performed to compare vascular permeability in the dorsal and postauricular skin of the two groups of mice under vascular endothelial growth factor A （VEGF-A） stimulation. The CD151 YXXφ motif point mutant YALA was constructed and transfected into human endothelial cells （EA.hy926） using an adenoviral vector. Multiple experimental groups were set up to detect the permeability of endothelial cell monolayers to FITC-dextran under baseline conditions and after VEGF-A stimulation. Western blot （WB）， RT-qPCR， and immunofluorescence were used to examine the expression and distribution of VE-cadherin. The internalization rate of VE-cadherin was quantitatively compared using a cell surface biotinylation assay. Phalloidin was used to label F-actin to observe changes in cytoskeletal tension. ResultsThe Miles assay showed that under VEGF-A stimulation， dye extravasation in the dorsal and postauricular skin of KO mice was significantly higher than that in WT mice （all P<0.05）. At 60 min and 120 min after VEGF-A stimulation， the permeability of endothelial cell monolayers overexpressing the YALA mutant to FITC-dextran significantly increased （P<0.05）. WB and RT-qPCR results indicated that the YALA mutant did not affect the total protein or mRNA expression levels of VE-cadherin. Immunofluorescence revealed that the YALA mutant disrupted the continuous distribution of VE-cadherin on the cell membrane and its perinuclear co-localization with CD151 under VEGF-A stimulation. The cell surface biotinylation assay confirmed that the YALA mutant significantly reduced the internalization rate of VE-cadherin （P<0.05）. Cytoskeletal staining showed that the YALA mutant caused the formation of thick tension fibers in the actin cytoskeleton of endothelial cells， indicating cell contraction. ConclusionThe CD151 YXXφ motif point mutation affects vesicle internalization and recycling in endothelial cells， influences the expression and internalization of VE-cadherin， and consequently affects vascular permeability.

Objective To explore the clinical characteristics,laboratory examination indicators,and auxilia-ry examination results of critically ill children with adenovirus pneumonia,screen relevant indicators with warning effects for critically ill children with adenovirus pneumonia,and construct an early identification scale for critically ill children with adenovirus pneumonia.Methods The clinical data of totally 86 children with adenovirus pneumonia admitted in the hospital from May 2021 to September 2023 were retrospectively ana-lyzed,and multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to screen relevant indicators for the early identifi-cation of severe adenovirus pneumonia in children.The sensitivity and the specificity were analyzed using the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve.Experts conducted a quantitative evaluation of the weight scores of each factor,and finally an early identification scale for critically ill children with adenovirus pneumo-nia was developed.Results Among 86 children with severe adenovirus pneumonia,34 were critically ill with adenovirus pneumonia.There were statistically significant differences in the incidence of respiratory distress,respiratory distress,consciousness and behavior disorders,respiratory symptoms,cardiovascular symptoms,and neurological symptoms between the two groups(P<0.05).The differences of white blood cell count,platelet count,erythrocyte dynamic sedimentation rate,serum ferritin,serum ferritin/erythrocyte dynamic sed-imentation rate,R-glutamyltransferase,alanine aminotransferase,lactate dehydrogenase between the severe group and the critically ill group were statistically significant(P<0.05).Multivariate Logistic regression a-nalysis showed that white blood cell count,platelet count,alanine aminotransferase,serum ferritin/erythrocyte dynamic sedimentation rate and lactate dehydrogenase were all influencing factors for the progression to criti-cal illness in children with adenovirus pneumonia(P<0.05),and the ROC curve results showed that the area under the curve of the diagnostic model composed of white blood cell count,platelet count,alanine aminotrans-ferase,serum ferritin/red blood cell dynamic sedimentation rate,and lactate dehydrogenase for diagnosing crit-ical illness was 0.864,and the sensitivity and the specificity were 86.42%and 82.76%,respectively.After 25 peer experts evaluated the weight scores of various clinical manifestations and examination items,the early i-dentification scale for critically ill children with adenovirus pneumonia was finally developed.Conclusion Dur-ing clinical treatment,the clinical manifestations of children with adenovirus pneumonia can be considered in conjunction with relevant auxiliary examination results,and early identification scales can be used to determine whether children with adenovirus pneumonia are at risk of developing into critical illness.

Objective : To explore the effect and mechanism of CD151 on vascular permeability by regulating vesicle internalization and recycling. Methods: Wild-type mice and CD151 knockout mice were divided into WT-con group, WT-model group, KO-con group and KO-model group, with 6 mice in each group. WT-model group and KO-model group were intraperitoneally injected with LPS to prepare sepsis ALI model, and WT-con group and KO-con group were intraperitoneally injected with phosphate buffer saline(PBS) as a control. 24 h after modeling, pulmonary vascular permeability was measured by Miles test. The siRNA silencing CD151 expression(si-CD151) and negative control si-NC were transfected into EA.hy 926 cells. The permeability of endothelial cell layer to FITC-dextran at different time points was observed under basic conditions and vascular endothelial growth factor-A(VEGF-A) stimulation conditions. Transcriptome sequencing of endothelial cells in si-CD151 group and si-NC group; the distribution and internalization of CD151 in each group were measured using immunofluorescence. Western blot and real-time quantitative RT-qPCR were used to detect the expression of VE-cadherin in si-CD151 groupand other groups. The distribution and internalization of VE-cadherin in each group were measured using immunofluorescence. Results : Miles experiment results indicated that dye exudation in lung tissue of WT-model group was significantly higher than that of WT-con group(P<0.01). The dye exudation in the lung tissue of KO-model group increased compared with WT-model group(P<0.05). The results of endothelial cell layer permeability test showed that the permeability of FITC-dextran in si-CD151 group was significantly higher than that in control group after VEGF-A stimulation for 30, 60 and 120 min(P<0.05). Transcriptome sequencing results suggested that CD151 in endothelial cells was closely related to vesicle-mediated transport. Compared with other groups, protein and mRNA levels of VE-cadherin in CD151 knockdown endothelial cells was significantly lower(allP<0.01). The immunofluorescence assay demonstrated that after VEGF-A stimulation, the decrease of CD151 expression significantly impaired the expression of VE-cadherin at cell-cell contacts and reduced the CD151-VE-cadherin colocalization in the perinuclear region compared with other groups. Conclusion The absence of CD151 affects the internalization and recycling of endothelial cell vesicles, affects the expression and internalization of VE-cadherin, and then influences vascular permeability.

Objective:To compare the efficacy, safety, and cost-effectiveness of the trastuzumab originator (HST) versus its biosimilar (HLX02) combined with pertuzumab and chemotherapy as neoadjuvant treatment in patients with HER-2-positive breast cancer.Methods:This retrospective cohort study included 175 patients with HER-2-positive breast cancer who received neoadjuvant therapy followed by curative surgery at the Cancer Hospital Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences between October 2020 and January 2024. Patients were divided into two groups based on the trastuzumab formulation used: the HST group ( n=89) and the HLX02 group ( n=86).The efficacy, safety, and trastuzumab-related treatment costs were compared between the two groups. Moreover, using Logistic regression model to identify the factors influencing total pathological complete response (tpCR) rates. Results:There were statistically significant differences in clinical T stage and surgical approach between the HST and HLX02 groups ( P＜0.05). Other clinicopathological characteristics, such as age and histological grade, showed no statistically significant differences ( P＞0.05), with most baseline characteristics remaining balanced between the two groups. There were no significant differences in tpCR rates ( P=0.957) or Miller-Payne (MP) grading rates ( P=0.991) between the HST and HLX02 groups. The tpCR rates for the two groups were 55.1% (49/89) and 54.7% (47/86), respectively. The rates of achieving grade 5 (G5) in the postoperative MP pathological grading system were 55.1% (49/89) and 55.8% (48/86), respectively, with no statistically significant difference ( P=0.991). Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analyses showed that hormone receptor status is an independent risk factor affecting tpCR ( OR=0.31, 95% CI; 0.16-0.61, P＜0.001). The incidence of adverse event during neoadjuvant therapy was similar between the groups, with no occurrences of trastuzumab-related cardiac toxicity. The HLX02 regimen showed a lower cost-effectiveness ratio (586.48 vs. 604.96) and reduced trastuzumab treatment costs during neoadjuvant therapy compared to HST [tpCR:(31 208.37±2 191.00) CNY vs. (33 224.49±2 741.00) CNY; non-tpCR: 33 030.05±5 787.00) CNY vs. (33 412.50±4 203.00) CNY, P＜0.05]. Conclusions:In the neoadjuvant treatment of early-stage HER-2-positive breast cancer, HLX02 combined with pertuzumab and chemotherapy demonstrates similar efficacy and safety to the trastuzumab originator, while offering a significant cost advantage.

Objectives:To investigate the epidemiological characteristics and ethnic differences of cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic syndrome(CKM)among the Hani,Dai,Bai,and Lisu populations in Yunnan Province,and to provide evidence for developing effective prevention and control strategies for CKM.Methods:A cross-sectional survey was conducted among four ethnic minority groups.A total of 3 906 permanent residents aged 18 years and older were enrolled using a multistage cluster random sampling method.CKM stages(0-4)were defined based on the 2023 American Heart Association criteria,stages 3-4 were classified as advanced CKM.Descriptive statistics and chi-square tests were used to compare the prevalence of CKM stages across ethnic groups.Modified Poisson regression was applied to estimate relative risk(RR)and 95%confidence intervals(CI)for factors associated with advanced CKM.Results:The prevalence rates of CKM stage 1 and above among the Hani,Dai,Bai and Lisu ethnic groups were 80.1%,87.3%,84.8%and 67.8%,respectively.The prevalence of CKM was generally higher in males than in females,and the prevalence of CKM increased significantly with age.The Dai ethnic group had the highest prevalence of advanced CKM(24.7%,95%CI:22.1%-27.4%),while the Lisu ethnic group had the lowest prevalence of advanced CKM(13.7%,95%CI:11.5%-15.9%).Modified Poisson regression analysis showed that older age and higher body mass index were common risk factors for advanced CKM across all four ethnic groups.Additionally,except for the Lisu ethnic group,the other three ethnic groups had specific individual risk factors:among the Hani ethnic group,low educational attainment(RR=2.18,95%CI:1.12-4.25)and low income(RR=1.47,95%CI:1.00-2.18)were the primary risk factors of CKM.Among the Dai ethnic group,smoking(RR=1.60,95%CI:1.07-2.37)and a family history of cardiovascular disease(RR=1.61,95%CI:1.14-2.27)are the primary risk factors of CKM.Among the Bai ethnic group,male gender(RR=0.48,95%CI:0.29-0.79)was the primary risk factor of CKM.Conclusions:The prevalence of CKM stage 1 or higher is relatively high among the four minority ethnic groups in Yunnan province.There are significant differences in staging characteristics and primary risk factors across ethnic groups,necessitating the development of stratified,differentiated intervention strategies to achieve precise prevention and control and ethnic health equity in terms of CKM.

The fundamental pathogenic mechanisms of inflammatory bowel disease(IBD),a chronic inflammatory illness affecting the gastrointestinal tract,are still not fully understood.Dipeptidyl peptidase Ⅳ(DPP-4)is a glycoprotein found on the cell surface that has signaling and enzymatic properties.In addition,there is growing evidence from animal models and clinical trials that DPP-4 inhibitors have potential impacts beyond only lowering blood sugar levels,such as immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory capabilities.This article reviews the biological properties of DPP-4 and its research progress in the diagnosis and treatment of IBD.It also discusses the mechanism of DPP-4 in IBD,aiming to provide a more in-depth understanding of the role of DPP-4 in IBD.

Objective:To analyze the epidemiological and etiological characteristics of herpes pharyngitis (HA) in three prefectures of Jiangsu Province, and provide evidence for the prevention and control of HA in Jiangsu.Methods:Three surveillance sentinel hospitals in Wuxi, Suzhou and Yancheng were selected from May 2018 to December 2022, and information related to HA visits and hospitalized cases was regularly collected from the hospital inpatient management system by age groups. Enterovirus nucleic acid detection was performed by RT-PCR, and sequencing analysis, identification of genotype subtypes, and phylogenetic analysis were performed on the sequences of the gene encoding the coat protein VP1 of the main prevalent strains.Results:A total of 57 709 HA cases were recorded in the sentinel hospitals in in Wuxi, Suzhou and Yancheng, which was 1.76 times higher than the reported cases of hand, foot and mouth disease during the same period (57 709/32 831).The percentage of HA hospitalizations was 1.35% (781/57 709), and the percentage of hospitalizations showed an increasing trend from year to year ( χ2=62.79, P<0.001 ).The incidence peak of HA was during May-July. The cases were mainly children aged 12-59 months (67.07%, 38 708/57 709), with the highest case number in age group 36-59 months (34.40%, 19 852/57 709). The HA positivity rate was 33.82% (644/1 904); enterovirus A was predominant (54.04%, 348/644); of these, Coxsackievirus (CV)A6 accounted for the highest percentage (52.59%, 183/348), while CVA16 and CVA4 accounted for 24.71% (86/348) and 15.23% (53/348), respectively. All 10 CVA4 HA endemic strains belonged to the C2 gene subtype, and all 6 CVA6 HA endemic strains belonged to the D3a gene subtype; and were genetically closer to and related to the strains in some areas of China (Fujian Province, Guangzhou City, Jiangxi Province, Yunnan Province, Tianjin City, etc.). Conclusions:The disease burden of HA was heavy in 3 areas in Jiangsu, children in age group 12-59-month were mainly affected, and the annual incidence peak of HA was during May-July. The pathogens causing HA varied, but predominated by enterovirus A and had low intra-typical differentiation, and no new evolutionary branches were found, suggesting that it is necessary to include HA in foot and mouth disease surveillance or regarded as a notifiable communicable disease.

Objective To visualize the research status and hotspots of women's common disease screening based on CiteSpace 6.1.R6,and to provide a reference for the in-depth research in this field thereafter.Methods The relevant articles were retrieved from the China National Knowledge Infrastructure with the time in-terval from January 1,1992 to December 13,2022.The analysis was conducted on the number of annual publica-tions,countries(regions),institutions,author collaboration networks,keyword co-occurrence,clustering,and bursts.Results A total of 900 papers that met the criteria were included,and the number of annual publications showed a trend of first increasing and then decreasing.The cross-institutional collaboration network was mature.The re-search hotspots mainly covered women's health,the prevalence of women's diseases,reproductive health,and breast diseases.The hotspots have evolved from an initial focus on reproductive health care to gynecological disease management,and eventually to reproductive health and holistic health care in women.Conclusions The attention should be kept on the screening of women's common diseases.It is advisable to synchronize the screening of women's common diseases with the screening of cervical and breast cancers to expand the screening coverage,promote early disease detection and treatment,and comprehensively safeguard women's health.
