[摘 要] 嵌合抗原受体基因修饰T细胞(CAR-T细胞)疗法是一种肿瘤免疫治疗方法:来自人体的T细胞在体外经遗传学修饰、表达特异性嵌合抗原受体(CAR),然后将其回输入患者体内,用于靶向识别和消除肿瘤细胞。尽管CAR-T细胞疗法在血液系统肿瘤治疗中取得了较为显著的成功,其在实体瘤治疗中仍面临障碍。细胞因子释放综合征(CRS)等免疫相关不良反应(irAE)制约了CAR-T细胞的安全应用,肿瘤相关抗原(TAA)的异质性限制了单一CAR-T细胞的广谱适用性,也制约了其通用型开发。鉴于此,要使CAR-T细胞疗法在实体瘤临床治疗中得到应用,还需开展进一步的改良与提升研究。本文围绕实体瘤中CAR-T细胞疗法,从“CAR基因修饰策略”、“通用免疫受体的再靶向策略”及“抗原通用性‘赋靶’策略”三个方面对CAR-T细胞领域中为提高安全性和通用性所进行的探索进行述评,系统剖析各策略的研究路径、优势及局限性,并展望未来发展方向。通过综述CAR-T细胞安全性和普适性设计策略的进展,本文旨在为实体瘤的CAR-T细胞疗法研发提供创新思路。

Major depressive disorder (MDD) has become an increasingly serious public health issue, characterized by high incidence and high disability rates. It often coexists with other mental health problems and physical diseases, with a significant negative impact on patients' quality of life. In clinical practice, MDD is considered a heterogeneous disease. The complexity of the pathological mechanisms and the variability in treatment responses lead to a lack of clear therapeutic targets, which complicates the treatment process. In recent years, with advancements in neuroscience, the crucial role of microglia in the pathogenesis of MDD has been revealed. As the main immune cells in the brain, microglia are not only involved in the regulation of neuroinflammation but also play important roles in neurogenesis and neuronal regulation in MDD. This article mainly discusses the role of microglia in the pathophysiological mechanisms of MDD, aiming to provide a theoretical basis for microglia as a potential target for the treatment of MDD.

Objective:To explore the impact of parenting style on social anxiety among college students, and examine the mediating effect of core self-evaluation.Methods:From November 2022 to January 2023, a total of 1 126 college students in Harbin were taken as research subjects.Interaction anxiousness scale(IAS), short-egna minnen betraffende upfostran-Chinese(s-EMBU-C) and core self-evaluations scale(CSES) were used for analysis. Data were analyzed using SPSS 26.0 software for correlation analysis and analysis of variance.AMOS 27.0 software was used for mediation effect test.Results:Social anxiety (42.31±8.23) was negatively correlated with positive parenting style (5.44±1.45) ( r=-0.072, P<0.05) and core self-evaluation (32.12±6.01) ( r=-0.350, P<0.01), while positively correlated with negative parenting style (7.40±1.74)( r=0.302, P<0.01). Core self-evaluation was positively correlated with positive parenting style ( r=0.362, P<0.01) and negatively correlated with negative parenting style ( r=-0.346, P<0.01).Parent parenting styles had a significant mean direct effect on social anxiety of college students ( βpositive=0.098, βnegtive=0.222).Mediation analyses indicated that core self-evaluation played a masking role between positive parenting styles and social anxiety, with an absolute value of 90.82% for the ratio of indirect(-0.089) to direct effects(0.098).Core self-evaluation had partial mediating effect on negative parenting styles, with direct effect and indirect effect accounting for 73.03% and 26.97% of the total effect, respectively. Conclusion:Parenting style can either directly affect college students' social anxiety or indirectly through the mediating effect of core self-evaluations, with core self-evaluations playing a masking role in the positive parenting styles pathway.

Objective:To analyze the clinical and imaging features of patients with COVID-19-related osmotic demyelination syndrome (ODS).Methods:COVID-19-related ODS cases diagnosed in the Department of Neurology, Peking Union Medical College Hospital from January 2020 to September 2023 were retrospectively reviewed. And their past medical history, possible triggers, clinical manifestations, imaging manifestations, treatment and prognosis were summarized.Results:A total of 5 patients with COVID-19-related ODS were included. Electrolyte disturbances acted as an inducement of ODS in all patients (5/5),4 of whom with hyponatremia. Four of 5 patients first presented with disturbance of consciousness, followed by predominant dystonia. Imaging of all patients (5/5) showed isolated extrapontine myelinolysis (EPM). With the prolongation of the course of disease, such signal intensity could return to normal, and lesions showed atrophic changes in some patients. The patients′ clinical symptoms were partly relieved within a few days to a few months after treatment.Conclusions:COVID-19-related ODS is mostly associated with hyponatremia, and EPM is more common. COVID-19 should be considered as a risk factor for ODS.

Galactinol synthase (GolS) genes play important roles in plant response to abiotic stress. In this research, the plant expression vector of soybean GmGolS2-2 gene was constructed and transformed into tobacco to study the drought tolerance of transgenic tobacco. A GmGolS2-2 gene with 975 bp coding sequence was cloned from soybean leaves by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). GmGolS2-2 was linked to the plant expression vector pRI101 by restriction enzyme sites Nde Ⅰ and EcoR Ⅰ, and transformed into tobacco by leaf disc method. Genomic DNA PCR and real-time PCR showed that three GmGolS2-2 transgenic tobacco plants were obtained. The growth status of GmGolS2-2 transgenic tobacco under drought stress was better than that of wild-type tobacco. After drought stress treatment, the electrolyte leakage and malondialdehyde content of transgenic tobacco were lower than those of wild-type tobacco, but the proline content and soluble sugar content were higher than those of wild-type tobacco. The results of real-time PCR showed that the heterologous expression of GmGolS2-2 increased the expression of stress-related genes NtERD10C and NtAQP1 in transgenic tobacco. The above results indicated that GmGolS2-2 improved drought resistance of transgenic tobacco.

Objective:To investigate the regulatory role of defferentially expressed LOC107987438 in the pathogenesis of depressive disorder and provide a theoretical basis for its clinical application in depressive disorder.Methods:Differential expression of LOC107987438 was verified by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction(qRT-PCR)in peripheral blood monocular cells(PBMCs)of 60 patients with depressive disorder and 60 health controls. In addition, its diagnostic value was assessed by receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves. Based on the ceRNA mechanism of lncRNA, the miRDB database was applied to predict the target miRNAs of LOC107987438, and the miRNAs with target score ≥ 80 among them were screened out.The screened miRNAs were then used to predict their potential target mRNAs through four databases which were TargetScan 8.0, miRTarBase, mirDIP and miRPathDB. Moreover, the predicted target mRNAs were annotated for gene ontology(GO)function annotation and tokoyo encyclopedia of genes and genomes(KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis via ClusterProfiler 4.0.5 package of R 4.1.1. Finally, a protein-protein interaction network was constructed using the STRING 11.5 platform to retrieve the interacting genes.Results:The qRT-PCR results showed that normalized expression of LOC107987438 in PBMCs of patients with depressive disorder was higher than that in health controls(depressive disorder: 2.084±1.357, health controls: 1.000±0.660, P<0.001). The ROC curve results showed that the area under curves(AUC)of LOC107987438 was 0.759(95% CI: 0.675-0.842, P<0.05), indicating its high potential diagnostic value. Bioinformatics analysis showed that hsa-miR-4670-3p, hsa-miR-619-3p, hsa-miR-6721-5p and hsa-miR-297 were the miRNAs with high bindings to LOC107987438. The results of KEGG signaling pathway enrichment revealed that hypoxia-inducible factor 1(HIF-1)signaling pathway, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-AKT(PI3K-Akt) signaling pathway and erythroblastic oncogene B(ErbB) signaling pathway were closely associated with depressive disorder. Among the top ten key genes screened by the protein-protein interaction network, kirsten rats arcomaviral oncogene homolog(KRAS), androgen receptor(AR), cyclic-AMP response binding protein1(CREB1), insulin-like growth factor 1(IGF1), cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 1B(CDKN1B) and calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase type Ⅱ alpha(CAMK2A)were strongly associated with depressive disorder. Conclusion:The establishment of ceRNA regulatory network of LOC107987438 provides a theoretical basis for exploring the pathophysiology of depressive disorders.

Chinese Journal of School Health 2020;41(8):1220-1223
Objective:
The aim of this study was to observe the changes in cardiorespiratory fitness after high intensity interval training(HIIT), and to provide a reference basis for scientific and reasonable sports plans.
Methods:
A total of 26 female college students with sedentary lifestyle were randomly allocated into MCT group (n=13) and HIIT group(n=13). All the participants undertook a graded exercise test to obtain VO 2max. The MCT group was trained with 60% VO 2max intensity for 30 min, while HIIT group received exercises with 90% VO 2max intensity every 3 min, intermittent 2 min, for 6 sessions three times a week for 8 weeks. Before and after 8 weeks of training, the subjects were tested for body shape, cardiorespiratory function and aerobic exercise capacity.
Results:
BMI[(22.34±2.73)(21.56±2.39)kg/m2], percentage of body fat [(31.43±5.65)%, (28.85±5.52)%] of HIIT group and BMI [(22.98±3.23)(22.35±3.09)kg/m2], percentage of body fat [(33.15±4.48)%, (31.48±4.73)%] of MCT group showed significant changes before and after training(P<0.01). For cardiorespiratory function, there was a significant change in VC [(3.30±0.60)(3.61±0.54)L], vital capacity index(56.22±10.73, 63.51±10.53), and MVV [(81.44±20.45, 91.17±15.64)L/min] in HIIT group. There was also a significant change in VC [(3.08±0.41)(3.19±0.36)L] and vital capacity index (52.74±8.66, 55.62±7.88) in MCT group, and there was a significant difference between the two groups(P<0.01). In terms of aerobic exercise capacity, maximal oxygen uptake in HIIT group [(2 204.15±232.39)(2 539.23±339.39)mL/min] and MCT group [(2 136.15±240.76)(2 462.00±318.29)mL/min] increased significantly after training(P<0.01).
Conclusion
Both HIIT and MCT can significantly improve lung function and aerobic performance of sedentary female college students, but HIIT is found more effective than MCT training.
