Oligodendrocytes(OLs)play a crucial role in myelination during the development and repair of the central nervous system.ATP serves not only as an important signaling molecule involving in the intercellular com-munications,but also as an energetic molecule,with its purinergic receptor subtypes widely present in neurons and glial cells.These subtypes are composed of two purinergic receptors:P1 and P2:The former are primarily activated by adenosine,and the latter mainly by ATP,ADP,and UTP.The two receptors paly their respective role in various regions of the CNS under physiological or pathological conditions through distinct mechanisms.In this paper,we review recent literature on the roles and mechanisms of the purinergic receptors in OL development,myelination,and myelin repair.It may be of great significance for further understanding the role of purinergic signaling in demy-elinating diseases and myelin dysplasia and exploring potential therapeutic targets.

Objective:To explore potential biomarkers that can predict the clinical efficacy of PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors in malig-nancies.Methods:The PubMed,Web of Science,CNKI,Wanfang and VIP databases were searched from the establishment of the database to September 20,2022.After literature screening,data extraction and the risk of bias were evaluated independently by two evaluators,the Meta-analysis was performed using RevMan5.4 and STATA16.0 software.Results:This paper included 18 studies with a total of 4 018 patients.Tumor patients with a high tumor mutational burden(TMB)were found to have higher overall survival(OS)(P=0.003,P=0.01)and progression-free survival(PFS)(P=0.000 2,P=0.04)with PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors within 1 year and 2 years of follow-up.At different follow-up times,with 1%as the critical value,there was no statistical significance in the level of PD-L1 ex-pression as a biomarker for predicting OS and PFS of PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors(P>0.05).Conclusion:TMB can be used as a biological indicator to predict the clinical efficacy of PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors in patients with malignant tumors within 2 years after treatment,but whether its efficacy can last longer remains to be further studied.PD-L1 single test is not currently a biomarker for predicting the bene-fit of PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors.

BACKGROUND:
The therapeutic potential of exosomes from human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (HUMSCsExo) for delivering specific circular RNAs (circRNAs) in treating premature ovarian failure (POF) is not well understood.This study aimed to explore the efficacy of HUMSCs-Exo in delivering hsa_circ_0002021 for POF treatment, focusing on its effects on granulosa cell (GC) senescence and ovarian function.
METHODS:
Bioinformatic analysis was conducted on circRNA profiles using the GSE97193 dataset from GEO, targeting granulosa cells from varied age groups. To simulate granulosa cell senescence, KGN cells were treated with cyclophosphamide (CTX). HUMSCs were transfected with pcDNA 3.1 vectors to overexpress hsa_circ_0002021, and the HUMSCsExo secreted were isolated. These exosomes were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and Western blotting to confirm exosomal markers CD9 and CD63. Co-culture of these exosomes with CTX-treated KGN cells was performed to assess b-galactosidase activity, oxidative stress markers, ROS levels, and apoptosis via flow cytometry.Interaction between hsa_circ_0002021, microRNA-125a-5p (miR-125a-5p), and cyclin-dependent kinase 6 (CDK6) was investigated using dual-luciferase assays and RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP). A POF mouse model was induced with CTX, treated with HUMSCs-Exo, and analyzed histologically and via immunofluorescence staining. Gene expression was quantified using RT-qPCR and Western blot.
RESULTS:
hsa_circ_0002021 was under expressed in both in vivo and in vitro POF models and was effectively delivered by HUMSCs-Exo to KGN cells, showing a capability to reduce GC senescence. Overexpression of hsa_circ_0002021 in HUMSCs-Exo significantly enhanced these anti-senescence effects. This circRNA acts as a competitive adsorbent of miR-125a-5p, regulating CDK6 expression, which is crucial in modulating cell cycle and apoptosis. Enhanced expression of hsa_circ_0002021 in HUMSCs-Exo ameliorated GC senescence in vitro and improved ovarian function in POF models by modulating oxidative stress and cellular senescence markers.
CONCLUSION
This study confirms that hsa_circ_0002021, when delivered through HUMSCs-Exo, can significantly mitigate GC senescence and restore ovarian function in POF models. These findings provide new insights into the molecular mechanisms of POF and highlight the therapeutic potential of circRNA-enriched exosomes in treating ovarian aging and dysfunction.

Objective To investigate the vaccine efficacy (VE) of two doses of inactivated enterovirus 71 (EV71) vaccine on severe hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) in eligible children. Methods A retrospective case-control study was conducted in this project. A total of 109 patients with EV71 severe HFMD aged between 6 months to 5 years old who were admitted to the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) of Guangxi Maternity and Child Health Hospital from September 2016 to September 2020, and reported to the Chinese Disease Prevention and Control Information System were selected as the case group. According to 1:1 matching,109 healthy children aged between 6 months to 5 years old were selected as the control group. The vaccine efficacy of EV71 inactivated vaccine was calculated. Results The vaccination rate of the two doses of inactivated EV71 vaccine in the case group was significantly lower than that in the control group(9.17% to 54.13%,χ2=50.911, P<0.05;OR=0.086(95%CI:0.040-0.182)). The vaccine efficacy of two doses of inactivated EV71 vaccine was 91.44% (95% CI:81.8%-96%). Conclusion The inactivated EV71 vaccine has a good protective effect on hand, foot, and mouth disease caused by EV71. The vaccination of EV71 inactivated vaccine should be continuously promoted.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical efficacy of Guizhi Mahuang Geban Decoction combined with conventional western medicine in the treatment of post infections cough (PIC), and to explore the mechanism.Methods:A total of 100 PIC patients in our hospital from January 2020 to July 2021 who met the inclusion criteria were divided into 2 groups according to the random number table method, with 50 in each group. The control group was treated with conventional western medicine, and the study group was treated with Guizhi Mahuang Geban Decoction and the treatment of the control group. Both groups were treated for 10 days. TCM symptom scores were performed before and after treatment. The levels of neurokinin A (NKA), substance P (SP), neurokinin B (NKB) and calcitonin gene related peptide (CGRP) were detected by ELISA. Adverse events were recorded and clinical effects were evaluated.Results:The total clinical effective rate was 90.0% (45/50) in the study group and 68.0% (34/50) in the control group, and there was significant difference between the two groups ( χ2=7.29, P=0.007). The scores of cough, expectoration, pharyngeal itch and total score in the study group were significantly lower than those in the control group ( t values were 8.04, 6.30, 9.03, 9.71, all Ps<0.01). After treatment, NKA [(86.08±18.21) ng/L vs. (137.68±28.29) ng/L, t=10.85], SP [(54.23±11.28) ng/L vs. (71.75±15.34) ng/L, t=6.51], NKB [(96.15±20.19) ng/L vs. (149.84±30.22) ng/L, t=10.45], CGRP [(62.93±18.35) ng/L vs. (89.59±23.25) ng/L, t=6.37] levels in the study group were significantly lower than those in the control group ( P<0.01). The incidence of adverse events was 8.0% (4/50) in the control group and 10.0% (5/50) in the study group, and there was no significant difference between the two groups ( χ2=0.13, P=0.727). Conclusions:Compared with western medicine alone, Guizhi Mahuang Geban Decoction combined with western medicine can rapidly improve patients' symptoms, improve curative effect and have better safety for PIC. Its mechanism may be related to the regulation of NKA, SP, NKB and CGRP levels.
