Tumors are the second leading cause of death worldwide. Exosomes are a type of extracellular vesicle secreted from multivesicular bodies, with particle sizes ranging from 40 to 160 nm. They regulate the tumor microenvironment, proliferation, and progression by transporting proteins, nucleic acids, and other biomolecules. Compared with other drug delivery systems, exosomes derived from different cells possess unique cellular tropism, enabling them to selectively target specific tissues and organs. This homing ability allows them to cross biological barriers that are otherwise difficult for conventional drug delivery systems to penetrate. Due to their biocompatibility and unique biological properties, exosomes can serve as drug delivery systems capable of loading various anti-tumor drugs. They can traverse biological barriers, evade immune responses, and specifically target tumor tissues, making them ideal carriers for anti-tumor therapeutics. This article systematically summarizes the methods for exosome isolation, including ultracentrifugation, ultrafiltration, size-exclusion chromatography (SEC), immunoaffinity capture, and microfluidics. However, these methods have certain limitations. A combination of multiple isolation techniques can improve isolation efficiency. For instance, combining ultrafiltration with SEC can achieve both high purity and high yield while reducing processing time. Exosome drug loading methods can be classified into post-loading and pre-loading approaches. Pre-loading is further categorized into active and passive loading. Active loading methods, including electroporation, sonication, extrusion, and freeze-thaw cycles, involve physical or chemical disruption of the exosome membrane to facilitate drug encapsulation. Passive loading relies on drug concentration gradients or hydrophobic interactions between drugs and exosomes for encapsulation. Pre-loading strategies also include genetic engineering and co-incubation methods. Additionally, we review approaches to enhance the targeting, retention, and permeability of exosomes. Genetic engineering and chemical modifications can improve their tumor-targeting capabilities. Magnetic fields can also be employed to promote the accumulation of exosomes at tumor sites. Retention time can be prolonged by inhibiting monocyte-mediated clearance or by combining exosomes with hydrogels. Engineered exosomes can also reshape the tumor microenvironment to enhance permeability. This review further discusses the current applications of exosomes in delivering various anti-tumor drugs. Specifically, exosomes can encapsulate chemotherapeutic agents such as paclitaxel to reduce side effects and increase drug concentration within tumor tissues. For instance, exosomes loaded with doxorubicin can mitigate cardiotoxicity and minimize adverse effects on healthy tissues. Furthermore, exosomes can encapsulate proteins to enhance protein stability and bioavailability or carry immunogenic cell death inducers for tumor vaccines. In addition to these applications, exosomes can deliver nucleic acids such as siRNA and miRNA to regulate gene expression, inhibit tumor proliferation, and suppress invasion. Beyond their therapeutic applications, exosomes also serve as tumor biomarkers for early cancer diagnosis. The detection of exosomal miRNA can improve the sensitivity and specificity of diagnosing prostate and pancreatic cancers. Despite their promising potential as drug delivery systems, challenges remain in the standardization and large-scale production of exosomes. This article explores the future development of engineered exosomes for targeted tumor therapy. Plant-derived exosomes hold potential due to their superior biocompatibility, lower toxicity, and abundant availability. Furthermore, the integration of exosomes with artificial intelligence may offer novel applications in diagnostics, therapeutics, and personalized medicine.

Objective To study the risk factors of two-stage citrate anticoagulation in intermittent he-modialysis(IHD)and to establish an unplanned offline prediction model.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted to include 34 patients and 118 times of treatment with two-stage citrate anticoagulation for IHD in the hospital from January 2019 to February 2023.According to whether the treatment did not reach the treatment time due to the coagulation of the extracorporeal circulation pipeline,118 treatments were divid-ed into the planned units(n=111)and the unplanned units(n=7).Univariate and multivariate logistic re-gression analysis were used to analyze the risk factors of unplanned weaning,and a risk prediction model was established.The receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to analyze the predictive value of the regression model.Results Univariate analysis showed that there were statistically significant differences in hematocrit(HCT),platelet count(PLT),activated partial thromboplastin time(APTT),and treatment mode between the planned and unplanned units(P<0.05).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that HCT and APTT were independent influencing factors for unplanned weaning(P<0.05).The HCT level was represented by A,the APTT level was represented by B,and the prediction model was:Logit(P)=1.304+ 0.206×A-0.378×B.The area under the ROC curve(AUC)of the prediction model was 0.912(95%CI:0.825-0.995,P<0.001),the maximum Youden index was 0.782,the cut off value was 0.113,the sensitivity was 85.7%,and the specificity was 92.5%.Conclusion The prediction model established by multivariate logistic regression analy-sis can make a preliminary judgment on whether coagulation occurs in two-stage IHD treatment.

The COVID-19 epidemic has spread to the whole world for three years and has had a serious impact on human life, health and economic activities. China's epidemic prevention and control has gone through the following stages: emergency unconventional stage, emergency normalization stage, and the transitional stage from the emergency normalization to the "Category B infectious disease treated as Category B" normalization, and achieved a major and decisive victory. The designated hospitals for prevention and control of COVID-19 epidemic in Tianjin has successfully completed its tasks in all stages of epidemic prevention and control, and has accumulated valuable experience. This article summarizes the experience of constructing a hospital infection prevention and control system during the "Category B infectious disease treated as Category A" period in designated hospital. The experience is summarized as the "Cluster" hospital infection prevention and control system, namely "three rings" outside, middle and inside, "three districts" of green, orange and red, "three things" before, during and after the event, "two-day pre-purification" and "two-director system", and "one zone" management. In emergency situations, we adopt a simplified version of the cluster hospital infection prevention and control system. In emergency situations, a simplified version of the "Cluster" hospital infection prevention and control system can be adopted. This system has the following characteristics: firstly, the system emphasizes the characteristics of "cluster" and the overall management of key measures to avoid any shortcomings. The second, it emphasizes the transformation of infection control concepts to maximize the safety of medical services through infection control. The third, it emphasizes the optimization of the process. The prevention and control measures should be comprehensive and focused, while also preventing excessive use. The measures emphasize the use of the least resources to achieve the best infection control effect. The fourth, it emphasizes the quality control work of infection control, pays attention to the importance of the process, and advocates the concept of "system slimming, process fattening". Fifthly, it emphasizes that the future development depends on artificial intelligence, in order to improve the quality and efficiency of prevention and control to the greatest extent. Sixth, hospitals need to strengthen continuous training and retraining. We utilize diverse training methods, including artificial intelligence, to ensure that infection control policies and procedures are simple. We have established an evaluation and feedback mechanism to ensure that medical personnel are in an emergency state at all times.

Optical-neural stimulation, which encompasses cutting-edge techniques such as optogenetics and infrared neurostimulation, employs distinct mechanisms to modulate brain function and behavior. These advanced neuromodulation techniques offer accurate manipulation of targeted areas, even selectively modulating specific neurons, in the brain. This makes it possible to investigate the cause-and-effect connections between neural activity and behavior, allowing for a better comprehension of the intricate brain dynamics towards complex environments. Non-human primates serve as an essential animal model for investigating these complex functions in brain research, bridging the gap between the basic research and clinical applications. One of the earliest optical studies utilizing optogenetic neuromodulation in monkeys was conducted in 2009. Since then, the optical-neural stimulations have been effectively applied in non-human primates. This review summarises recent research that employed optogenetics or infrared neurostimulation techniques to regulate brain function and behavior in non-human primates. The current state of optical-neural stimulations discussed here demonstrates their efficacy in advancing the understanding of brain systems. Nevertheless, there are still challenges that need to be addressed before they can fully achieve their potential.

The patient was a male infant,born full-term,admitted to the hospital at 28 days of age due to jaundice for 20 days and abdominal distension for 15 days.The patient developed symptoms of jaundice,hepatosplenomegaly,massive ascites,and progressively worsening liver function leading to liver failure,severe coagulation disorders,and thrombocytopenia one week after birth.Various treatments were administered,including anti-infection therapy,fluid restriction,use of diuretics,use of hepatoprotective and choleretic agents,intermittent paracentesis,blood exchange,and intravenous immunoglobulin,albumin,and plasma transfusions.However,the patient's condition did not improve,and on the 24th day of hospitalization,the family decided to discontinue treatment and provide palliative care.Sequencing of the patient's liver tissue and parental blood samples using whole-exome sequencing did not identify any pathogenic variants that could explain the liver failure.However,postmortem liver tissue pathology suggested congenital hepatic fibrosis(CHF).Given the rarity of CHF causing neonatal liver failure,further studies on the prognosis and pathogenic genes of CHF cases are needed in the future.This article provides a comprehensive description of the differential diagnosis of neonatal liver failure and introduces a multidisciplinary diagnostic and therapeutic approach to neonatal liver failure.[Chinese Journal of Contemporary Pediatrics,2024,26(2):213-218,V]
