ABSTRACT

As an adjuvant alternative therapy, phototherapy is widely used for early diagnosis and late treatment of breast cancer due to its non-invasive treatment characteristics. But the application of phototherapeutic agents has been limited in the clinic due to poor hydrophobicity and tissue targeting, low photostability, and obvious toxic side effects in vivo. With the development of nanotechnology, new composite nano-phototherapy agents have emerged. This paper summarizes the latest developments and findings of new composite nano-phototherapy agents for phototherapy in the field of breast cancer treatment in the past 5 years. With the development of multifunctional nanomaterials in the field of breast cancer imaging diagnosis and treatment, the modified phototherapy agent achieved further development respectively from improving light response to improve the light thermal conversion or increasing the generation of reactive oxygen species, targeting tumor microenvironment, immune cells and cancer cell surface receptors to achieve drug controllable response release, using biomimetic materials and endogenous substances to improve biocompatibility. Although phototherapeutic agents exhibit high cell-killing rates in the treatment of metastatic breast cancer models and effectively inhibit their recurrence and metastasis, problems remain regarding the safety and compatibility of synergistic therapy. Future studies can not only improve the existing effects of phototherapeutic agents, but also develop oral drugs with more convenient routes based on immunotherapy to amplify the immune response and resist breast cancer through multiple routes.

ABSTRACT

Via an insufficient coat protein complex I (COPI) retrieval signal, the majority of SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) is resident in host early secretory organelles and a tiny amount is leaked out in cell surface. Only surface-exposed S can be recognized by B cell receptor (BCR) or anti-S therapeutic monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) that is the trigger step for B cell activation after S mRNA vaccination or infected cell clearance by S mAbs. Now, a drug strategy to promote S host surface exposure is absent. Here, we first combined structural and biochemical analysis to characterize S COPI sorting signals. A potent S COPI sorting inhibitor was then invented, evidently capable of promoting S surface exposure and facilitating infected cell clearance by S antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC). Importantly, with the inhibitor as a probe, we revealed Omicron BA.1 S is less cell surface exposed than prototypes because of a constellation of S folding mutations, possibly corresponding to its ER chaperone association. Our findings not only suggest COPI is a druggable target against COVID-19, but also highlight SARS-CoV-2 evolution mechanism driven by S folding and trafficking mutations.

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the accuracy of measurements of atherosclerotic middle cerebral artery (MCA) stenosis with 3.0 T high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (HR-MRI).Methods Forty patients with symptomatic atherosclerotic stenosis of middle cerebral artery (MCA) confirmed by digital subtraction angiography (DSA) in the Affiliated Hospital of Binzhou Medical College from September 2017 to May 2018 were enrolled in the study.Patients were scanned by HR-MRI sequence (including T1WI,T2WI,PDWI).The MCA M1 stenosis rate on HR-MR images was assessed by warfarin-aspirin symptomatic intracranial artery disease (WASID) method and area measurement algorithm,respectively,and based on the stenosis rate the degree of stenosis (semi-quantitative measurement) was determined.The accuracy of the two measurement methods was evaluated with DSA results as the gold standard.Results The HR-MRI images showed the structure of the vessel wall clearly in 30 patients meeting the measurement requirements.The inner edge of the vessel was clearly distinguishable and smooth,showing eccentric stenosis.The stenosis rate of MCA measured by DSA,WASID method and area measurement algorithm were (82± 17)%,(70± 12)%,(81 ± 16)%,respectively (P>0.05).The result of area measurement algorithm was better correlated with DSA (r=0.893);and the coincidence of the stenosis degree rate of two measurement method was 90%(27/30).Conclusion The area measurement algorithm based on the HS-MRI has high accuracy in measuring the degree of MCA stenosis,which is of high clinical application value.

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the value of intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) based on ISHIM sequence in the grading of astrocytic tumor.Methods We collected excised tumors confirmed by histological diagnosis from 42 patients including high-grade astrocytic tumors (10 WHO grade Ⅲ,18 WHO grade Ⅳ),and 14 low-grade astrocytic tumors (1 WHO grade Ⅰ and 13 WHO grade Ⅱ).All patients underwent conventional MR imaging,ISHIM IVIM-DWI,and contrast-enhanced MR imaging.Parameters of tumor parenchyma region,peripheral edema regions and the contralateral normal brain white matter sites were measured,and the statistical analysis was conducted.Results The D value in tumor parenchyma region was significantly lower,but the D* and f values were higher in high-grade astrocytic tumor when compared with lowgrade one and all had statistical significance;in tumor peripheral edema region,D value was lower in high-grade astrocytic tumor than that in low-grade one,and the difference had statistical significance but there was no significant difference in terms of the D* and f values.There was no significant difference of the D,D* and f values in contralateral normal brain white matter sites in both high-and low-grade astrocytic tumor.Conclusion The D,D* and f values measured by ISHIM IVIM-DWI are helpful to the judgment of tumor grade and it has greatapplication value in the differential diagnosis of high-and low-grade astrocytic tumor.

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the value of magnetic resonance (MR)diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI)in diagnostic classi-fication of astrocytic tumors.Methods 31 patients with astrocytic tumors confirmed by operation and pathology were collected,in-cluding low-grade tumors (WHO gradeⅠ and Ⅱ)in 14 and high-grade ones (WHO grade Ⅲ and Ⅳ)in 1 7.Routine MRI and DKI scan were preoperatively conducted using Siemens 3.0T MR scanner.Mean kurtosis (MK),radial kurtosis (RK)and axial kurtosis (AK)values were calculated in the solid portion of the tumors and the contralateral normal white matter.Results The MK,RK and AK values in tumors were lower than those in contralateral normal white matter,and were significantly higher in high-grade tumors than those in low-grade ones (P <0.05).Conclusion The MK,RK and AK values obtained by DKI reflect the histological structure changes of the astrocytic tumors.DKI is helpful for the diagnostic classification of astrocytic tumors,exhibiting more value in optimi-zing the treatment.

The distribution of virus antigen of epidemic hemorrhagic fever (EHF) in infected suckling mice brain was studied by indirect immunofluorescence procedure. The specific fluorescence was presented in the following areas: (l)the limbic system, including the cingulate cortex, the piriform cortex, the anterior olfactory nucleus, the lateral septal nucleus, the hippocampus, the dental gyrus, the dorsomedial nucleus and lateral nuclei of thalamus, and several nuclei of the hypothalamus; (2)the special sensory nuclei, such as the medial and spinal vestibular nuclei, the cochlear nucleus, and the lateral lemniscus nucleus; (3)the nuclei associated with analgesic function, including the periaqueductal gray substance, the trigeminal sensory nucleus, the raphe nuclei of midbrain etc; (4)the extrapyramidal structures, for example, the caudal-putamen, the pallidum, the entopeduncular nucleus, the cerebellum and several nuclei of reticular formation in brainstem.
