γδ T cells: Major advances in basic and clinical research in tumor immunotherapy / 中华医学杂志(英文版)

γδ T cells are a kind of innate immune T cell. They have not attracted sufficient attention because they account for only a small proportion of all immune cells, and many basic factors related to these cells remain unclear. However, in recent years, with the rapid development of tumor immunotherapy, γδ T cells have attracted increasing attention because of their ability to exert cytotoxic effects on most tumor cells without major histocompatibility complex (MHC) restriction. An increasing number of basic studies have focused on the development, antigen recognition, activation, and antitumor immune response of γδ T cells. Additionally, γδ T cell-based immunotherapeutic strategies are being developed, and the number of clinical trials investigating such strategies is increasing. This review mainly summarizes the progress of basic research and the clinical application of γδ T cells in tumor immunotherapy to provide a theoretical basis for further the development of γδ T cell-based strategies in the future.

Objective:To compare the surgical efficacy of pericardial soft ring tricuspid valvuloplasty with DeVega and artificial valvuloplasty.Methods:227 patients undergoing tricuspid valvuloplasty due to rheumatic heart disease complicated with functional tricuspid valve insufficiency were retrospectively analyzed and divided into 3 groups according to tricuspid valvuloplasty dynamic cohort(pericardial ring group, 89 cases; the artificial flap ring group, 61 cases, and the DeVega group, 77 cases) were matched 1∶1 for propensity score(match A: pericardial ring group and artificial flap ring group; match B: pericardial ring group and DeVega group), the successful matching was included in follow-up and data collection, and cases with incomplete case data during follow-up were removed from the study cohort in pairs according to matching conditions. The results of follow-up 1 month, 6 months and 24 months after surgery were compared.Results:1 month after operation: the tricuspid valve regurgitant in all groups was significantly reduced or even disappeared compared with that before operation, and the right atrium and right ventricle were also smaller than that before operation, with statistical significance( P<0.05). 6 months after surgery: There was no statistical significance in the area of tricuspid regurgitation and right atrial/indoor diameter between all groups compared with the results one month after surgery( P>0.05), and there was no statistical significance in the recurrence rate of tricuspid regurgitation between all groups( P>0.05). 24 months after surgery: There were no significant differences in the recurrence rate of tricuspid regurgitation, area of tricuspid regurgitation and right atrial/indoor diameter between the two groups in matching A( P>0.05). There was no statistical significance in the right atrial/indoor diameter between the matched pericardial ring group and the Devega group, but the tricuspid valve regurgentation area of the Devega group at 24 months after surgery was higher than that of the Devega group at 1 month after surgery, and the difference was statistically significant( P<0.05). The regurgitation area and recurrence rate of tricuspid valve were significantly higher than those of pericardium-TVP group( P<0.05). Conclusion:Pericardial soft ring tricuspid valvuloplasty can effectively correct functional tricuspid valvuloplasty and reverse right heart remodeling, which is an effective tricuspid valvuloplasty.

"Impending illness" Concept Research and Modern Interpretation / 中医杂志

This paper elucidates the connotation and extension of the concept of "impending illness" from the perspective of logic. The connotation of impending illness refers to the intermediate state between health （not yet sick） and disease （already sick）， characterized by the initial instability of yin and yang or a low-level balance of yin and yang as its internal mechanism， and mild dysfunctions in physiological， psychological， and social functions as its manifestations. The extension of impending illness includes latent disease status and pre-disease status. By adopting a creative hermeneutic approach to explore the deep-seated connotations of impending illness， this paper systematically analyzes the concept of impending illness from five levels： the existential level， the intentional level， the implicational level， the situational level， and the necessitational level， arguing that impending illness represents the unity of ambiguity and precision， the deviation of the human body system from homeostasis within a certain range， and an important component of the improvement of the traditional Chinese medicine health management system. Thoroughly explicating and clarifying the concept of "impending illness" can provide theoretical references for the study of transitional states between health and disease and the improvement of the traditional Chinese medicine health management system.

JCAD deficiency attenuates activation of hepatic stellate cells and cholestatic fibrosis

Background/Aims@#Cholestatic liver diseases including primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) are associated with active hepatic fibrogenesis, which ultimately progresses to cirrhosis. Activated hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) are the main fibrogenic effectors in response to cholangiocyte damage. JCAD regulates cell proliferation and malignant transformation in nonalcoholic steatoheaptitis-associated hepatocellular carcinoma (NASH-HCC). However, its participation in cholestatic fibrosis has not been explored yet. @*Methods@#Serial sections of liver tissue of PBC patients were stained with immunofluorescence. Hepatic fibrosis was induced by bile duct ligation (BDL) in wild-type (WT), global JCAD knockout mice (JCAD-KO) and HSC-specific JCAD knockout mice (HSC-JCAD-KO), and evaluated by histopathology and biochemical tests. In situ-activated HSCs isolated from BDL mice were used to determine effects of JCAD on HSC activation. @*Results@#In consistence with staining of liver sections from PBC patients, immunofluorescent staining revealed that JCAD expression was identified in smooth muscle α-actin (α-SMA)-positive fibroblast-like cells and was significantly up-regulated in WT mice with BDL. JCAD deficiency remarkably ameliorated BDL-induced hepatic injury and fibrosis, as documented by liver hydroxyproline content, when compared to WT mice with BDL. Histopathologically, collagen deposition was dramatically reduced in both JCAD-KO and HSC-JCAD-KO mice compared to WT mice, as visualized by Trichrome staining and semi-quantitative scores. Moreover, JCAD deprivation significantly attenuated in situ HSC activation and reduced expression of fibrotic genes after BDL. @*Conclusions@#JCAD deficiency effectively suppressed hepatic fibrosis induced by BDL in mice, and the underlying mechanisms are largely through suppressed Hippo-YAP signaling activity in HSCs.

Low BMI is Associated with Poor OI-IUI Outcomes in Patients with Unexplained Primary Infertility / 中山大学学报(医学科学版)

ObjectiveTo evaluate the effect of women's body mass index （BMI） on pregnancy outcomes of ovulation induction intrauterine insemination （OI-IUI） in patients with unexplained primary infertility. MethodsThe study included 764 OI-IUI cycles from January 2016 to December 2022 in reproductive center of Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital. According to BMI，patients were divided into three groups：low BMI （BMI<18.5 kg/m2）， normal BMI （18.5 kg/m2 ≤BMI＜23.0 kg/m2）， and high BMI （BMI≥23.0 kg/m2）. Comparison of clinical data and pregnancy outcomes was performed between the groups. Logistic regression was used to analyze the association between BMI and live birth rate. ResultsFrom the low BMI group to the high BMI group， the HCG positive rate （7.08%，9.74%， 13.19%）， clinical pregnancy rate（5.51%， 7.91%， 13.19%）， and live birth rate （4.72%， 6.90%， 12.50%） increased. Among them， the live birth rate of the high BMI group was significantly higher than that of the low BMI group and the normal BMI group， with a statistically significant difference （P=0.034）. While the early miscarriage rate （14.28%， 10.26%， 5.26%） decreased from the low BMI group to the high BMI group. The binary logistic regression analysis revealed that BMI was an independent factor in live birth， and high BMI resulted in a better live birth rate than low BMI （OR=3.15，95%CI=1.191-8.329，P=0.021）. ConclusionLow BMI is associated with poor OI-IUI outcomes in patients with unexplained primary infertility. These patients are encouraged to gain weight in a healthy manner.

The ICR(Institute of Cancer Research)mouse infection model was constructed to study the pathogenicity of Sal-monella Telelkebir serotype,and the pathogenic identification of mouse isolates was carried out.Observe the bacterial excretion cycle,evaluate the pathogenicity of Salmonella serotype to mice,and calculate the LD50 by the changes in clinical characteris-tics,histopathology and tissue bacterial load of infected mice;by flight mass spectrometry,biochemical identification,serotype identification,molecular typing and other experiments,compared with human isolates;virulence gene analysis was carried out by PCR experiment and whole genome sequencing.The LD50 of Salmonella Telelkebir is 2.67 × 108 CFU/mL;curling and fluffing may occur 0.5 h after infection;autopsy of dead mice showed that the small intestine was severely congested,with more bubbles and fluid accumulation,cecal necrosis,liver apical degeneration and necrosis,necrotic foci on the surface of the kidney and spleen atrophy;the bacterial load of spleen,kidney,lung,liver and jejunum in mice reached its peak at 3 days after infection,while that of heart at 6 days;the bacterial excretion time of the high-dose group exceeded 100 days;The level of CD3 in tissues increased with increasing dose,with inflammatory cell infiltration,myocardial capillary dilation and hyperemia,large area of vacuoles,degeneration and necrosis of hepatocytes,obvious enlargement of splenic sinus,blurred zoning,thickening of glomerular basement membrane,partial exfoliation of ciliated epithelium,atrophy and exfoliation of jejunal villi;PCR and whole genome sequencing revealed Salmonella-related virulence genes such as cdtB,plt A and pltB.This study was the first to successfully establish the ICR mouse model of Salmonella Telelkebir,demonstrating that this serotype of Salmonella has some pathogenicity.

Investigation of the job satisfaction and its influencing factors of the pre-hospital emergency staff in Beijing / 中国现代医生

@#Objective To provide reference for improving job satisfaction,ensuring service quality and promoting sustainable development of pre-hospital emergency care field,this paper investigated the current situation of job satisfaction of pre-hospital emergency staff in Beijing and analyzed it's differences and influencing factors.Methods SPSS 23.0 was used to input the data,and T-test,variance analysis,multiple linear regression and other processing were performed.Result Basic information of 714 pre-hospital emergency staff in Beijing in terms of subordinate unit,gender,age,education level,job post,title classification,title grade and working years;the proportion of job satisfaction of average and unsatisfactory reached 39.91%;the difference in job satisfaction among the seven categories was statistically significant;seven factors had statistically significant effects on job satisfaction;90.20%of pre-hospital emergency staff suggested improving their salary.Conclusion Prehospital emergency staff in Beijing are mainly young and middle-aged men,with a high proportion of college or university degree;job satisfaction is not good;pre-hospital emergency staff with different levels of education,jobs and working years have significant influence on job satisfaction;reinforcing the construction of talent team from the aspects of salary improvement and pre-hospital emergency technical training is important to improve the job satisfaction of pre-hospital emergency personnel.
