As the number of patients with compromised immune function increases and fungal resistance develops, so does the risk of contracting deadly fungi in humans. Both fungi and humans are eukaryotes, so identifying unique targets for antifungal drug development is difficult. In addition, the existing antifungal drugs are limited by toxicity, drug interaction and drug resistance in practical application, which leads to the increasing incidence and fatal rate of fungal infections. Therefore, it is urgent to develop new antifungal drugs. The semi-synthetic technology using microbial fermentation products from natural sources as lead compounds has become the most used method in structural modification of antifungal drugs due to its advantages of few reaction steps and easy operation. This paper will introduce the current status of natural antifungal drugs in clinical use, as well as the latest progress in the research and development of new semi-synthetic antifungal drugs, and summarize their mechanism of action, structural modifications, advantages and disadvantages, so as to provide reference for the subsequent development of new antifungal drugs.

Objective To investigate the setup error in patients with spinal bone metastasis who underwent radiotherapy under the guidance of kilovoltage cone-beam CT (KV-CBCT). Methods A total of 118 patients with spinal metastasis who underwent radiotherapy, including 17 cases of cervical spine, 62 cases of thoracic spine, and 39 cases of lumbar spine, were collected. KV-CBCT scans were performed using the linear accelerators from Elekta and Varian’s EDGE system. CBCT images were registered with reference CT images in the bone window mode. A total of 973 data were collected, and 3D linear errors were recorded. Results The patients with spinal bone metastasis were grouped by site, height, weight, and BMI. The P value of the patients grouped only by site was P<0.05, which was statistically significant. Conclusion When grouped by site in the 3D direction, the positioning effect of cervical spine is better than that of thoracic and lumbar spine. The positioning effect of the thoracic spine is better in the head and foot direction but worse in the left and right direction compared with that of the lumbar spine. Instead of extending or narrowing the margin according to the BMI of patients with spinal metastasis, the margin must be changed according to the site of spinal bone metastasis.

Objective To analyze therapeutic effect of savolitinib in patients with stage Ⅲ/Ⅳ non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods A total of 95 patients with MET 14 exon (METex14) jumping mutation in stage Ⅲ/Ⅳ NSCLC were divided into a control group (47 cases) and an observation group (48 cases) through a random-number table method. The patients in the control group were treated with crizotinib, whereas those in the observation group were treated with savolitinib. The clinical efficacy and incidence of toxic side effects in both groups were evaluated through a chi-square test, and survival was evaluated through Kaplan-Meier survival analysis. Results Compared with control group (31.91% and 70.21%), the objective response rate and disease control rate of the observation group were 52.08% and 87.50%, respectively (P<0.05). According to Kaplan-Meier survival analysis, the overall survival and progression free survival rates in the observation group were higher than those in the control group (Log rank χ²=8.003, 4.528; P=0.005, 0.033). No statistically significant difference in the degree of toxic side effects was found between the groups (P>0.05). Conclusion Savolitinib can improve the efficacy of treatment for stage Ⅲ/Ⅳ METex14 skip mutation NSCLC patients, prolong survival, enhance the tolerance of patients to savolitinib, and facilitate the management of adverse reactions.

Objective:To evaluate the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of HEMO-FISS-QoL(HF-QoL) questionnaire (HF-QoL-C) in the Chinese population with hemorrhoids.Methods:From November 2021 to November 2022, a self-constructed general information questionnaire, HF-QoL-C, and the 36-item short form health survey (SF-36), Goligher classification, and Giordano severity of hemorrhoid symptom questionnaire (GSQ) were used to conduct a questionnaire survey on 760 hemorrhoid patients in the anorectal department of six hospitals. The data was analyzed for reliability and validity using SPSS 21.0 and AMOS 26.0 software.Results:The Cronbach's α coefficient of HF-QoL-C and its dimension ranged from 0.831 to 0.960, and the split coefficient was 0.832-0.915. Four common factors were extracted through principal component exploratory factor analysis. Confirmatory factor analysis indicated acceptable structural validity( χ2/ df=8.152, RSMEA=0.097, CFI=0.881, IFI=0.881, NFI=0.867). HF-QoL-C was correlated with SF36 and GSQ( r=-0.694, 0.501, both P<0.01). There were differences in the total score and dimensional scores of HF-QoL-C between surgical and drug treated patients, different grades of Goligher classification for hemorrhoidal disease, and different ranges of hemorrhoid prolapse (all P<0.001). No ceiling effect was found in the total score and the scores of each dimension(0.3%-2.0%). There was a floor effect in both psychological function and sexual activity dimensions (16.7%, 35.1%). Conclusion:HF-QoL-C has good reliability and validity, which can be used to measure the quality of life of Chinese hemorrhoid patients.

Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) combined with lower cervical fracture is often categorized into unstable fracture, with a high incidence of neurological injury and a high rate of disability and morbidity. As factors such as shoulder occlusion may affect the accuracy of X-ray imaging diagnosis, it is often easily misdiagnosed at the primary diagnosis. Non-operative treatment has complications such as bone nonunion and the possibility of secondary neurological damage, while the timing, access and choice of surgical treatment are still controversial. Currently, there are no clinical practice guidelines for the treatment of AS combined with lower cervical fracture with or without dislocation. To this end, the Spinal Trauma Group of Orthopedics Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association organized experts to formulate Clinical guidelines for the treatment of ankylosing spondylitis combined with lower cervical fracture in adults ( version 2024) in accordance with the principles of evidence-based medicine, scientificity and practicality, in which 11 recommendations were put forward in terms of the diagnosis, imaging evaluation, typing and treatment, etc, to provide guidance for the diagnosis and treatment of AS combined with lower cervical fracture.

ATG8-binding proteins play a key role in autophagy, selective autophagy or non-autophagy process by interacting between ATG8 and the ATG8-interacting motif (AIM) or the ubiquitin-interacting motif (UIM). There is great progress of ATG8-binding proteins in yeast and mammalian studies. However, the plant domain is still lagging behind. Therefore, the structure characteristics of plant ATG8 binding protein were firstly outlined. Unlike the single copy of ATG8 gene in yeast, many homologous genes have been identified in plant. The LIR/ AIM-docking site (LDS) of ATG8 protein contains W and L pockets and is responsible for binding to AIM. The ATG8 protein binds to UIM-containing proteins via UIM-docking site (UDS) instead of LDS. UDS is in the opposite position to LDS, so the ATG8 can bind both AIM and UIM proteins. Secondly, the structure and function of ATG8-binding proteins, especially the selective autophagy receptors, were systematically described. The protein NBR1 and Joka2, as proteaphagy receptors, guide ubiquitination protein aggregates to autophagosome for degradation by binding to AIM and ATG8 in Arabidopsis and tobacco, respectively. AtNBR1 also promotes plant immunity by binding the capsid protein of cauliflower mosaic virus and silencing suppressor HCpro of turnip mosaic virus, mediating pathogen autophagy. AtNBR1 still degrades chloroplast by microautophagy under photoinjure or chlorophagy during ibiotic stress. And the protein ORM mediates the degradation of plant immune receptor flagellin sensing 2 (FLS2) through AIM binding to ATG8. Interestingly, ATI1 and ATI2 participate in both chlorophagy and ERphagy. Otherwise, ER membrane protein AtSec62, soluble protein AtC53, and ubiquitin-fold modifier1-specific ligase 1 (UFL1) can be directly bound to ATG8 as ER autophagy receptors. As pexophagy receptor, AtPEX6 and AtPEX10 bind to ATG8 via AIM and participate in pexophagy. RPN10, as a 26S proteasome subunit, whose C-terminal UIM1 and UIM2 bind ubiquitin and ATG8, respectively, mediates the selective autophagy degradation of 26S proteasome inactivation when fully ubiquitinated. Plant-specific mitochondrial localization proteins FCS-like zinc finger (FLZ) and friendly (FMT) may also be mitophagy receptors. CLC2 binds to ATG8 via the AIM-LDS docking site and is recruited to autophagy degradation on the Golgi membrane. The tryptophan-rich sensory protein (TSPO) in Arabidopsis was involved in clearing free heme, porphyrin and plasma membrane intrinsic protein 2;7 (PIP2;7) through the combination of AIM and ATG8. The conformation of GSNOR1 changes during anoxia, exposing the interaction between AIM and ATG8, leading to selective degradation of GSNOR1. At last, the ATG8 binding proteins involved in autophagosome closure, transport and synthetic synthesis was summarized. For example, plant-specific FYVE domain protein required for endosomal sorting 1 (FREE1) is involved in the closure of autophagosomes during nutrient deficiency. Therefore, according to the recent research advances, the structure and function of plant ATG8-binding proteins were systematically summarized in this paper, in order to provide new ideas for the study of plant selective autophagy and autophagy.

Objective To establish a dynamic prediction model of fatal massive hemorrhage in trauma based on the vital signs time series data and machine learning algorithms.Methods Retrospectively analyze the vital signs time series data of 7522 patients with trauma in the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care-Ⅳ(MIMIC-Ⅳ)database from 2008 to 2019.According to the occurrence of posttraumatic fatal massive hemorrhage,the patients were divided into two groups:fatal massive hemorrhage group(n=283)and non-fatal massive hemorrhage group(n=7239).Six machine learning algorithms,including logistic regression(LR),support vector machine(SVM),random forests(RF),adaptive boosting(AdaBoost),gated recurrent unit(GRU),and GRU-D were used to develop a dynamic prediction models of fatal massive hemorrhage in trauma.The probability of fatal massive hemorrhage in the following 1,2,and 3 h was dynamically predicted.The performance of the models was evaluated by accuracy,sensitivity,specificity,positive predictive value,negative predictive value,Youden index,and area under receiver operating characteristic curve(AUC).The models were externally validated based on the trauma database of the Chinese PLA General Hospital.Results In the MIMIC-Ⅳ database,the set of dynamic prediction models based on the GRU-D algorithm was the best.The AUC for predicting fatal major bleeding in the next 1,2,and 3 h were 0.946±0.029,0.940±0.032,and 0.943±0.034,respectively,and there was no significant difference(P=0.905).In the trauma dataset,GRU-D model achieved the best external validation effect.The AUC for predicting fatal major bleeding in the next 1,2,and 3 h were 0.779±0.013,0.780±0.008,and 0.778±0.009,respectively,and there was no significant difference(P=0.181).This set of models was deployed in a public web calculator and hospital emergency department information system,which is convenient for the public and medical staff to use and validate the model.Conclusion A set of dynamic prediction models has been successfully developed and validated,which is greatly significant for the early diagnosis and dynamic prediction of fatal massive hemorrhage in trauma.

Objective:To further improve the understanding of paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH), we retrospectively analyzed and summarized the clinical characteristics, treatment status, and survival status of patients with PNH in Zhejiang Province.Methods:This study included 289 patients with PNH who visited 20 hospitals in Zhejiang Province. Their clinical characteristics, comorbidity, laboratory test results, and medications were analyzed and summarized.Results:Among the 289 patients with PNH, 148 males and 141 females, with a median onset age of 45 (16-87) years and a peak onset age of 20-49 years (57.8% ). The median lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) level was 1 142 (604-1 925) U/L. Classified by type, 70.9% (166/234) were classical, 24.4% (57/234) were PNH/bone marrow failure (BMF), and 4.7% (11/234) were subclinical. The main clinical manifestations included fatigue or weakness (80.8%, 235/289), dizziness (73.4%, 212/289), darkened urine color (66.2%, 179/272), and jaundice (46.2%, 126/270). Common comorbidities were hemoglobinuria (58.7% ), renal dysfunction (17.6% ), and thrombosis (15.0% ). Moreover, 82.3% of the patients received glucocorticoid therapy, 70.9% required blood transfusion, 30.7% used immunosuppressive agents, 13.8% received anticoagulant therapy, and 6.3% received allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. The 10-year overall survival (OS) rate was 84.4% (95% CI 78.0% -91.3% ) . Conclusion:Patients with PNH are more common in young and middle-aged people, with a similar incidence rate between men and women. Common clinical manifestations include fatigue, hemoglobinuria, jaundice, renal dysfunction, and recurrent thrombosis. The 10-year OS of this group is similar to reports from other centers in China.
