Background: The immune system plays a critical role in the development and progression of osteoporosis and fractures. However, the causal relationships between antibody immune responses, immune cells, and these bone conditions remain unclear. This study aimed to explore these relationships using Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis. Methods: We collected complete blood count data from patients with fractures and healthy individuals and analyzed their differences. Then, we conducted a 2-sample, 2-step MR analysis to investigate the causal effects of antibody immune responses on osteoporosis and fractures, using inverse-variance weighted (IVW) as the primary method. We also explored whether immune cells mediate the pathway between antibodies and osteoporosis or fractures. Finally, we analyzed the functions and expression levels of key genes involved. Results: Overall, the fracture group exhibited increased white blood cell count, absolute neutrophil count, absolute monocyte count, platelet count, and their respective proportions, while absolute lymphocyte count, absolute eosinophil count, absolute basophil count, red blood cell count, and their proportions were decreased. We identified 44 causal relationships between antibodies and osteoporosis or fractures, with 7 supported by multiple MR methods, and 5 showing odds ratios significantly deviating from 1 in the IVW analysis. Epstein-Barr virus-related antibodies had a notable impact on osteoporosis and fractures. The human leukocyte antigen (HLA) gene family, particularly HLA-DPB1, emerged as a significant risk factor. However, immune cells were not found to mediate these effects. Conclusions This study elucidated the causal relationships between antibody immune responses, immune cells, and osteoporosis or fractures. The HLA gene family plays a crucial role in the interaction between antibodies and these bone conditions, with HLA-DPB1 identified as a key risk gene. Immune cells do not serve as mediators in this process. These findings provide valuable insights for future research.

Thrombocytopenia is a common complication during the treatment of malignant tumors. It can lead to insufficient doses of chemotherapy drugs or delayed chemotherapy, shorten patients’ survival time, and affect prognosis. Thrombocytopenia has two types: cancer treatment-induced thrombocytopenia and tumor-associated immune thrombocytopenia. The latter is relatively rare, and its pathogenesis may be related to immune dysregulation. Current studies have shown that gene polymorphism and methylation are involved in tumor-associated immune thrombocytopenia. The pathogenesis and treatment of tumor-associated immune thrombocytopenia are discussed in this article.

Objective To observe the efficacy and safety of flumatinib conversion in chronic myelogenous leukemia-chronicphase(CML-CP)patients with suboptimal TKI response or intolerance.Methods Patients who did not have the best response or intolerance to first-line imatinib,dasatinib,and nilotinib and switched to flumatinib(600 mg/d)from February 2020 to August 2022 were collected from 5 hospitals from Chongqing and affiliated hospitals of North Sichuan Medical College.The efficacy and safety of flumatinib were observed.The optimal response rate,major molecular response(MMR),cumulative complete cytogenetic response(CCyR)rate,cumulative MMR rate,cumulative deep molecular response(DMR),progression-free survival(PFS),event-free survival(EFS)and adverse reactions in 3,6 and 12 months after treatment were observed and analyzed.Results A total of 100 patients with CML-CP were enrolled,with a median follow-up of 18(3～36)months.The optimal response rate was 92.6％(88/95),94.4％(85/90)and 92.9％(79/85)respectively,at 3,6 and 12 months after treatment.Till August 20,2023,the cumulative CCyR and MMR rate was 98.0％(98/100)and 81.9％(77/94),respectively,the median time to reach CCyR and MMR was 3 months,and cumulative DMR rate was 51.0％(51/100).PFS rate was 100.0％(100/100)and 1-year EFS rate was 85.6％(75/90).The most common non-hematologic adverse reactions of flumatinib were diarrhea and abdominal pain(7.0％),followed by renal dysfunction(6.0％)and musculoskeletal pain(2.0％).The main hematologic adverse reactions were thrombocytopenia(12.0％),anemia(6.0％)and leukopenia(2.0％).Conclusion Flumatinib has better MMR and DMR and is well tolerated in CML-CP patients with TKI resistance or intolerance.

The heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) protein family is a cluster of highly conserved molecules that play an important role in maintaining cellular homeostasis. Hsp90 and its co-chaperones regulate a variety of pathways and cellular functions, such as cell growth, cell cycle control and apoptosis. Hsp90 is closely associated with the occurrence and development of tumors and other diseases, making it an attractive target for cancer therapeutics. Inhibition of Hsp90 expression can affect multiple oncogenic pathways simultaneously. Most Hsp90 small molecule inhibitors are in clinical trials due to their low efficacy, toxicity or drug resistance, but they have obvious synergistic anti-tumor effect when used with histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors, tubulin inhibitors or topoisomerase II (Topo II) inhibitors. To address this issue, the design of Hsp90 dual-target inhibitors can improve efficacy and reduce drug resistance, making it an effective tumor treatment strategy. In this paper, the domain and biological function of Hsp90 are briefly introduced, and the design, discovery and structure-activity relationship of Hsp90 dual inhibitors are discussed, in order to provide reference for the discovery of novel Hsp90 dual inhibitors and clinical drug research from the perspective of medicinal chemistry.

ObjectiveTemporal heterogeneity in lung cancer presents as fluctuations in the biological characteristics, genomic mutations, proliferation rates, and chemotherapeutic responses of tumor cells over time, posing a significant barrier to effective treatment. The complexity of this temporal variance, coupled with the spatial diversity of lung cancer, presents formidable challenges for research. This article will pave the way for new avenues in lung cancer research, aiding in a deeper understanding of the temporal heterogeneity of lung cancer, thereby enhancing the cure rate for lung cancer. MethodsRaman spectroscopy emerges as a powerful tool for real-time surveillance of biomolecular composition changes in lung cancer at the cellular scale, thus shedding light on the disease’s temporal heterogeneity. In our investigation, we harnessed Raman spectroscopic microscopy alongside multivariate statistical analysis to scrutinize the biomolecular alterations in human lung epithelial cells across various timeframes after benzo(a)pyrene exposure. ResultsOur findings indicated a temporal reduction in nucleic acids, lipids, proteins, and carotenoids, coinciding with a rise in glucose concentration. These patterns suggest that benzo(a)pyrene induces structural damage to the genetic material, accelerates lipid peroxidation, disrupts protein metabolism, curtails carotenoid production, and alters glucose metabolic pathways. Employing Raman spectroscopy enabled us to monitor the biomolecular dynamics within lung cancer cells in a real-time, non-invasive, and non-destructive manner, facilitating the elucidation of pivotal molecular features. ConclusionThis research enhances the comprehension of lung cancer progression and supports the development of personalized therapeutic approaches, which may improve the clinical outcomes for patients.
