Radiotherapy (RT) can potentially induce systemic immune responses by initiating immunogenic cell death (ICD) of tumor cells. However, RT-induced antitumor immunologic responses are sporadic and insufficient against cancer metastases. Herein, we construct multifunctional self-sufficient nanoparticles (MARS) with dual-enzyme activity (GOx and peroxidase-like) to trigger radical storms and activate the cascade-amplified systemic immune responses to suppress both local tumors and metastatic relapse. In addition to limiting the Warburg effect to actualize starvation therapy, MARS catalyzes glucose to produce hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂), which is then used in the Cu⁺-mediated Fenton-like reaction and RT sensitization. RT and chemodynamic therapy produce reactive oxygen species in the form of radical storms, which have a robust ICD impact on mobilizing the immune system. Thus, when MARS is combined with RT, potent systemic antitumor immunity can be generated by activating antigen-presenting cells, promoting dendritic cells maturation, increasing the infiltration of cytotoxic T lymphocytes, and reprogramming the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. Furthermore, the synergistic therapy of RT and MARS effectively suppresses local tumor growth, increases mouse longevity, and results in a 90% reduction in lung metastasis and postoperative recurrence. Overall, we provide a viable approach to treating cancer by inducing radical storms and activating cascade-amplified systemic immunity.

ObjectiveTo investigate the prevalence of polycystic ovary syndrome （PCOS） among female college students at a university in Fuzhou City， Jiangxi Province， and to facilitate early detection and intervention of PCOS. MethodsUsing a stratified sampling method， a total of 450 female freshmen were randomly selected for PCOS screening. A self-designed questionnaire was used for data collection， covering menstrual status， high androgen signs， lifestyle， dietary habits， and awareness of PCOS. Sample t test and χ² test were used to compare the basic information and dietary habits between PCOS and non-PCOS cases. The correlation between various indicators and the prevalence of PCOS was analyzed by a logistic regression model. ResultsA total of 12 PCOS cases were identified， with a prevalence rate of 2.99%. PCOS cases exhibited statistically significant differences compared to non-PCOS cases in terms of waist-to-hip ratio， waist circumference， abdominal obesity， the proportion of overweight or obese individuals， and a preference for sweet food （all P<0.05）. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed a significant correlation between preference for sweet food and the occurrence of PCOS （OR=4.858， 95%CI=1.199‒19.675，P=0.027）， as well as a significant correlation with PCOS accompanied by abdominal obesity （OR=7.083， 95%CI=0.773‒64.937， P=0.048）. Among the female college students surveyed， 37.90% had never heard of PCOS， 51.62% were only familiar with the name of the disease， and 10.47% had attempted to search for PCOS-related information. ConclusionThe prevalence of PCOS among female college students should not be overlooked and unhealthy dietary habits may be a crucial factor contributing to the occurrence of PCOS during this period. Early screening for PCOS during puberty is crucial.

BACKGROUND:Some studies have shown that the hounsfield units(HU)value based on lumbar CT can be used to screen osteoporosis.At present,the number of patients with pulmonary infection has increased;the number of patients with pulmonary infection and type 2 diabetes is also increasing,which increases the utilization rate of chest CT. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the role of lumbar 1 vertebral body HU value based on chest CT in the screening of type 2 diabetes mellitus osteoporosis. METHODS:The clinical data of 244 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus treated in the First Affiliated Hospital of Chengdu Medical College from June 2020 to June 2022 were analyzed retrospectively.The bone mineral density was obtained by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry.According to WHO's diagnostic criteria for osteoporosis,the subjects were divided into the non-osteoporosis group(n=120)and the osteoporosis group(n=124).The general condition,T value and HU value of lumbar 1 vertebra in chest CT were compared,and the relationship between the HU value and T value of each position was analyzed and the accuracy of type 2 diabetes mellitus osteoporosis was evaluated. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)There was no significant difference in sex,age,body mass index,glycosylated hemoglobin,mean blood glucose,calcium(Ca),phosphorus(P),time of type 2 diabetes mellitus,history of hypertension and history of hyperlipidemia between the two groups(P>0.05).(2)The HU value was positively correlated with the lowest T value of the hip(r=0.619,P<0.01);the HU value was positively correlated with the hip T value(r=0.584,P<0.01),and the HU value was positively correlated with the femoral neck T value(r=0.641,P<0.01).When the HU value was 98,the prediction of type 2 diabetes mellitus osteoporosis had good accuracy,and the sensitivity was 70.8%.(3)It is concluded that the HU value of the lumbar 1 vertebra based on chest CT examination is of good value for osteoporosis screening in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus,and may be an opportunistic and cost-free supplementary screening method for type 2 diabetes mellitus osteoporosis.

Objective To analyze the application of serological test results in the diagnosis and treatment of anti-M-in-duced hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn(HDFN),and to explore HDFN prevention strategies.Methods The se-rological test results of 12 cases of HDFN caused by anti-M diagnosed in our laboratory from January 2017 to December 2023 were retrospectively analyzed,including blood group identification of mothers and children,serum total bilirubin/hemoglo-bin/antibody titer test,and three hemolysis tests in newborns.Clinical data of the children and mothers were collected,in-cluding pregnancy history,blood transfusion history,prenatal antibody testing,history of intrauterine blood transfusion and gestational week of delivery,and the prognosis of the children was followed up.Results All 12 cases of fetal neonatal he-molytic disease due to anti-M were RhD+MN phenotype newborn born to RhD+NN mother,with maternal-fetal incompati-blility in MN blood groups.In the ABO blood group system,ABO incompatibility between mother and child accounted for 41.7%(5/12).None of the mothers had a history of blood transfusion,and the median titer of the test at 4℃was 32,and the median titer at 37℃was 4.The mothers of 3 cases had a history of multiple intrauterine blood transfusions,with an inci-dence of 25%(3/12).One case had an abnormal first pregnancy,with an incidence of 8.3%(1/12),and seven cases had an abnormal pregnancy with a miscarriage,with an incidence of abnormal pregnancy and birth history of 58.3%(7/12).There were 6 cases of premature labor,with an incidence of 50%(6/12).The mothers in three cases underwent regular ob-stetric examination and the specificity of the antibodies was determined,accounting for 25%(3/12).Twelve children had free antibodies with a median titer of 6 at 4℃and 2 at 37℃.Two children had anti-M antibodies that were not reactive at 37℃,with a negative rate of 16.7%(2/12).The positive rate of DAT and elution test was respectively 8.3%(1/12)and 16.7%(2/12)in the children.The median minimum hemoglobin value was 75 g/L,and all 12 children received blood transfusions.The median peak total bilirubin value was 157.5 μmol/L,and none of them reached the threshold for blood ex-change.The rate of delayed anemia was16.7%(2/12),the postnatal mortality rate was8.3%(1/12),and 11 children was free of growth and neurodevelopmental delay in prognosis.Conclusion Anti-M can cause severe HDFN,which can also oc-cur in primigravida.The intensity of antibody titer does not correlate with the severity of the disease,and it is prone to cause delayed anemia,which should be monitored regularly according to the serological characteristics of anti-M and clinical symp-toms,and should be treated timely.

Objective To investigate the serological characteristics and gene mutation mechanism of RhD variant blood donors in Zhengzhou.Methods From January 2023 to December 2023,1 619 RhD-negative blood donors sent to our labora-tory were selected for the study,and RhD negative confirmation test and RhCE phenotype detection were applied by tube method and microcolumn gel indirect antiglobulin test method.RHD gene amplification and Sanger sequencing were used to detect RhD variant sample genotypes.Results A total of 69 cases of RhD variants were detected in the RhD negative con-firmation test,with a proportion of 4.26%(69/1 619).The RhCE phenotypes were ccEe,Ccee,CcEe and CCee.There were 17 genotypes and 15 phenotypes of the D variant.The RHD?weak partial 15 allele was the most frequent(33 cases),with a frequency of 47.83%(33/69),and the main phenotype was the ccEe.This was followed by the RHD?DVI.3 allele in 20 ca-ses with a frequency of 28.99%(20/69)and the predominant phenotype was Ccee.The RHD?weak partial 15/RHD?01EL.01 heterozygote was found in 3 cases with a frequency of 4.35%(3/69),all with the CcEe phenotype.Other rare genotypes were present in 13 cases with a frequency of 18.84%(13/69).Antibody screening was positive in 3 cases with a frequency of 4.35%(3/69).Two cases of female blood donors,both with history of pregnancy and childbirth,were identified as anti-D;one case of male donor was anti-M.Conclusion The RHD?weak partial 15 genotype was the most common among the RhD variants in blood donors in Zhengzhou,followed by the RHD?DVI.3 genotype.It plays an important role in guarantee-ing the safety of blood supply and guiding precision transfusion.

Objective:To investigate the safety and therapeutic effect of split liver transplantation (SLT) in clinical application.Methods:This is a retrospective case-series study. The clinical data of 203 consecutive SLT, 79 living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) and 1 298 whole liver transplantation (WLT) performed at the Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from July 2014 to July 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. Two hundred and three SLT liver grafts were obtained from 109 donors. One hundred and twenty-seven grafts were generated by in vitro splitting and 76 grafts were generated by in vivo splitting. There were 90 adult recipients and 113 pediatric recipients. According to time, SLT patients were divided into two groups: the early SLT group (40 cases, from July 2014 to December 2017) and the mature SLT technology group (163 cases, from January 2018 to July 2023). The survival of each group was analyzed and the main factors affecting the survival rate of SLT were analyzed. The Kaplan-Meier method and Log-rank test were used for survival analysis.Results:The cumulative survival rates at 1-, 3-, and 5-year were 74.58%, 71.47%, and 71.47% in the early SLT group, and 88.03%, 87.23%, and 87.23% in the mature SLT group, respectively. Survival rates in the mature SLT group were significantly higher than those in the early SLT group ( χ2=5.560, P=0.018). The cumulative survival rates at 1-, 3- and 5-year were 93.41%, 93.41%, 89.95% in the LDLT group and 87.38%, 81.98%, 77.04% in the WLT group, respectively. There was no significant difference among the mature SLT group, the LDLT group and the WLT group ( χ2=4.016, P=0.134). Abdominal hemorrhage, infection, primary liver graft nonfunction,and portal vein thrombosis were the main causes of early postoperative death. Conclusion:SLT can achieve results comparable to those of WLT and LDLT in mature technology liver transplant centers, but it needs to go through a certain time learning curve.

Objective To investigate the characteristics of Clostridioides difficile infection(CDI)in patients hospitalized for diarrhea and analyze the risk factors for CDI.Methods Stool samples were collected from 306 patients with diarrhea hospitalized in 3 university hospitals in a mid-south city of China from October to December,2020.C.difficile was isolated by anaerobic culture,and qRT-PCR was used to detect the expressions of toxin A(tcdA)and B(tcdB)genes and the binary toxin genes(cdtA and cdtB).Multilocus sequence typing(MLST)was performed for the isolated strains without contaminating strains as confirmed by 16S rDNA sequencing.Etest strips were used to determine the drug resistance profiles of the isolated strains,and the risk factors of CDI in the patients were analyzed.Results CDI was detected in 25(8.17%)out of the 306 patients.All the patients tested positive for tcdA and tcdB but negative for the binary toxin genes.Seven noncontaminated C.difficile strains with 5 ST types were isolated,including 3 ST54 strains and one strain of ST129,ST98,ST53,and ST631 types each,all belonging to clade 1 and sensitive to metronidazole and vancomycin.Hospitalization within the past 6 months(OR=3.675;95%CI:1.405-9.612),use of PPIs(OR=7.107;95%CI:2.575-19.613),antibiotics for≥1 week(OR=7.306;95%CI:2.274-23.472),non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs(OR=4.754;95%CI:1.504-15.031)in the past month,and gastrointestinal disorders(OR=5.050;95%CI:1.826-13.968)were all risk factors for CDI in the patients hospitalized for diarrhea.Conclusion The CDI rate remains low in the hospitalized patients with diarrhea in the investigated hospitals,but early precaution measures are recommended when exposure to the risk factors is reported to reduce the risk of CDI in the hospitalized patients.

Objective To investigate the current status of mini-CEX scores among students in the Elderly Service Man-agement program after completing the"Fundamentals of Nursing"course and analyze the influencing factors.Methods A total of 99 students from the Elderly Service Management program at the Wuming campus of Guangxi Medical University were selected as the study subjects.Assessment tools included a general information questionnaire,the Chinese version of the Mini Clinical E-valuation Exercise(mini-CEX),the Self-Rating Scale of Self-Directed Learning(SRSSDL),and a self-learning ability assess-ment scale.Stepwise linear regression analysis was employed to explore the factors affecting mini-CEX scores.Results The total mini-CEX score for the 99 students was 49.00(44.00,55.00).Stepwise linear regression analysis revealed that being a student leader,SRSSDL scores,self-learning ability,and teaching model were significant factors(P＜0.05),explaining 56.8％of the total variance.Conclusion The clinical comprehensive ability of students in the Elderly Service Management program requires enhancement,influenced by multiple factors including teaching model,self-learning ability,and self-directed learning capacity.

Objective: To gain an in depth understanding of the cognitive appraisal of middle school students with mental illness after experiencing childhood trauma, so as to provide a reference for the development of effective interventions. Methods: From March to September in 2023, 21 middle school students with childhood trauma experiences and mental illnesses were selected from outpatient and inpatient departments through purposive sampling in a tertiary grade A psychiatric hospital in Wuhan. Semistructured interviews were conducted and the seven steps of Colaizzi phenomenology were used to analyze the data and extract themes. Results: A total of 3 themes and 11 subthemes were extracted:insufficient awareness of childhood trauma (lack of selfawareness, lack of awareness of primary caregivers), multiple hurtful experiences after experiencing childhood trauma (complex negative affective experiences, multiple physical discomfort, pessimistic attitudes toward life, social impairment, and academic impairment), and influences on childhood trauma experiences (personality traits, inappropriate personal coping styles, poor upbringing environment, and difficulty in obtaining social support). Conclusions Middle school students with mental illnesses and their caregivers generally lack knowledge about childhood trauma, which brings widespread harm and are affected by multiple factors. It should jointly strengthen the popularization of scientific knowledge, intervene in a timely manner, and thereby reduce the adverse consequences of childhood trauma experiences.

Objective:To retrospectively analyze the treatment status of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) in newly diagnosed patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) in China.Methods:Data of chronic phase (CP) and accelerated phase (AP) CML patients diagnosed from January 2006 to December 2022 from 77 centers, ≥18 years old, and receiving initial imatinib, nilotinib, dasatinib or flumatinib-therapy within 6 months after diagnosis in China with complete data were retrospectively interrogated. The choice of initial TKI, current TKI medications, treatment switch and reasons, treatment responses and outcomes as well as the variables associated with them were analyzed.Results:6 893 patients in CP ( n=6 453, 93.6%) or AP ( n=440, 6.4%) receiving initial imatinib ( n=4 906, 71.2%), nilotinib ( n=1 157, 16.8%), dasatinib ( n=298, 4.3%) or flumatinib ( n=532, 7.2%) -therapy. With the median follow-up of 43 ( IQR 22-75) months, 1 581 (22.9%) patients switched TKI due to resistance ( n=1 055, 15.3%), intolerance ( n=248, 3.6%), pursuit of better efficacy ( n=168, 2.4%), economic or other reasons ( n=110, 1.6%). The frequency of switching TKI in AP patients was significantly-higher than that in CP patients (44.1% vs 21.5%, P<0.001), and more AP patients switched TKI due to resistance than CP patients (75.3% vs 66.1%, P=0.011). Multi-variable analyses showed that male, lower HGB concentration and ELTS intermediate/high-risk cohort were associated with lower cytogenetic and molecular responses rate and poor outcomes in CP patients; higher WBC count and initial the second-generation TKI treatment, the higher response rates; Ph + ACA at diagnosis, poor PFS. However, Sokal intermediate/high-risk cohort was only significantly-associated with lower CCyR and MMR rates and the poor PFS. Lower HGB concentration and larger spleen size were significantly-associated with the lower cytogenetic and molecular response rates in AP patients; initial the second-generation TKI treatment, the higher treatment response rates; lower PLT count, higher blasts and Ph + ACA, poorer TFS; Ph + ACA, poorer OS. Conclusion:At present, the vast majority of newly-diagnosed CML-CP or AP patients could benefit from TKI treatment in the long term with the good treatment responses and survival outcomes.
