Clinical Characteristics of Children with Hemophagocytic Syndrome with Different EB Virus DNA Loads / 中国实验血液学杂志

OBJECTIVE@#To analyze the clinical characteristics of hemophagocytic syndrome (HLH) children with different EB virus (EBV) DNA loads, and to explore the relationship between differential indicators and prognosis.@*METHODS@#Clinical data of 73 children with HLH treated in our hospital from January 2015 to April 2022 were collected. According to EBV DNA loads, the children were divided into negative group (≤5×102 copies/ml), low load group (>5×102-<5×105 copies/ml) and high load group (≥5×105copies/ml）. The clinical symptoms and laboratory indexes of the three groups were compared, and the ROC curve was used to determine the best cut-off value of the different indexes. Cox regression model was used to analyze the independent risk factors affecting the prognosis of children, and to analyze the survival of children in each group.@*RESULTS@#The proportion of female children, the swelling rate of liver and spleen lymph nodes and the involvement rate of blood, liver, circulation and central nervous system in the high load group were higher than those in the negative group. The incidence of disseminated intravascular coagulation(DIC) and central nervous system(CNS) involvement in the high load group were higher than those in the low load group. The liver swelling rate and circulatory system involvement rate in the low load group were higher than those in the negative group(P<0.05). PLT counts in the high load group were significantly lower than those in the negative group, and the levels of GGT, TBIL, CK-MB, LDH, TG, SF, and organ involvement were significantly higher than those in the negative group. The levels of CK, LDH, SF and the number of organ involvement in the high load group were significantly higher than those in the low load group. The levels of GGT and TBIL in low load group were significantly higher than those in negative group. In terms of treatment, the proportion of blood purification therapy in the high and low load group was significantly higher than that in the negative group(P<0.01). ROC curve analysis showed that the best cut-off values of PLT, LDH, TG and SF were 49.5, 1139, 3.12 and 1812, respectively. The appellate laboratory indicators were dichotomized according to the cut-off value, and the differential clinical symptoms were included in the Cox regression model. Univariate analysis showed that LDH>1139 U/L, SF>1812 μg/L, dysfunction of central nervous system, number of organ damage, DIC and no blood purification therapy were the risk factors affecting the prognosis of children (P<0.05); Multivariate analysis shows that PLT≤49.5×109/L and dysfunction of central nervous system were risk factors affecting the prognosis of children (P<0.05). Survival analysis showed that there was no significant difference in the survival rate among the three groups.@*CONCLUSION@#The incidence of adverse prognostic factors in children with HLH in the EBV-DNA high load group is higher, and there is no significant difference in the survival rate of the three groups after blood purification therapy. Therefore, early identification and application of blood purification therapy is of great significance for children with HLH in the high load group.

A redox-responsive self-assembling COA-4-arm PEG prodrug nanosystem for dual drug delivery suppresses cancer metastasis and drug resistance by downregulating hsp90 expression

Metastasis and resistance are main causes to affect the outcome of the current anticancer therapies. Heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) as an ATP-dependent molecular chaperone takes important role in the tumor metastasis and resistance. Targeting Hsp90 and downregulating its expression show promising in inhibiting tumor metastasis and resistance. In this study, a redox-responsive dual-drug nanocarrier was constructed for the effective delivery of a commonly used chemotherapeutic drug PTX, and a COA-modified 4-arm PEG polymer (4PSC) was synthesized. COA, an active component in oleanolic acid that exerts strong antitumor activity by downregulating Hsp90 expression, was used as a structural and functional element to endow 4PSC with redox responsiveness and Hsp90 inhibitory activity. Our results showed that 4PSC/PTX nanomicelles efficiently delivered PTX and COA to tumor locations without inducing systemic toxicity. By blocking the Hsp90 signaling pathway, 4PSC significantly enhanced the antitumor effect of PTX, inhibiting tumor proliferation and invasiveness as well as chemotherapy-induced resistance in vitro. Remarkable results were further confirmed in vivo with two preclinical tumor models. These findings demonstrate that the COA-modified 4PSC drug delivery nanosystem provides a potential platform for enhancing the efficacy of chemotherapies.

Influencing factors analysis of the therapeutic efficacy of targeted therapy in patients with epidermal growth factor receptor mutant advanced non-small cell lung cancer / 肿瘤研究与临床

Objective:To investigate the influencing factors of the therapeutic effect of epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI) in patients with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutant advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).Methods:The clinical data of 104 EGFR mutant advanced NSCLC patients who received EGFR-TKI treatment in Wuxi No.2 Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University from January 2015 to October 2019 were collected. The correlation of different types of EGFR mutation with the clinicopathological characteristics, the hematological examination results and the treatment mode of patients was analyzed. Cox proportional hazard model was used to analyze the association of the progression-free survival (PFS) time of patients receiving EGFR-TKI treatment with the different types of EGFR mutation, the clinicopathological characteristics, hematological related indexes and treatment mode. Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyze the independent influencing factors for the PFS of the stratified patients.Results:The overall disease control rate (DCR) of patients receiving EGFR-TKI treatment was 92.3% (96/104). Cox univariate analysis showed that the levels of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125), D-dimer, and previous surgical treatment history of patients receiving EGFR-TKI treatment were associated with PFS of patients (all P < 0.05). Cox multi-factor analysis showed that EGFR mutation type ( HR =2.371, 95% CI 1.298-4.332, P = 0.005), combination therapy ( HR = 0.489, 95% CI 0.245-0.978, P = 0.043) and choice of therapeutic drugs ( HR = 0.261, 95% CI 0.113-0.606, P = 0.002) were independent influencing factors for the PFS of patients receiving EGFR-TKI treatment. The PFS of EGFR 19 exon-mutant patients with advanced NSCLC was longer than that of those with EGFR 21 exon-mutant (median PFS time: 14.0 months vs.9.5 months, P<0.05); the PFS of combination of radiotherapy or chemotherapy was longer than that of EGFR-TKI single therapy (median PFS time: 15.0 months vs. 9.0 months, P<0.05), the PFS of patients receiving erlotinib was better than that of those receiving gefitinib ( P<0.05). According to EGFR mutation types, it was found that EGFR 19 exon-mutant patients receiving EGFR-TKI in first-line treatment could obtain better PFS than those who receiving EGFR-TKI in second-line and above treatment (median PFS time: 14.0 months vs. 9.5 months, P<0.05). When receiving EGFR-TKI, EGFR 19 exon-mutant patients with CA125 <85 U/ml could obtain longer PFS time than those with CA125 ≥85 U/ml (median PFS time: 14.0 months vs. 6.5 months, P<0.05). Conclusions:The therapeutic effect of EGFR-TKI in EGFR-mutant patients with advanced NSCLC is positive. EGFR 19 exon-mutant NSCLC patients with low-level CA125 receiving EGFR-TKI in first-line treatment can obtain better PFS.

Objective To investigate the expression of DDX46 protein in colorectal cancer and its correlation with expressions of C-erbB-2, Ki-67, p53 and nm23 proteins. Methods A total of 149 cases of colorectal cancer tissues and 45 adjacent mucosa tissues after operation in the Wuxi No.2 Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University from January 2010 to December 2012 were collected. The expressions of DDX46 protein and C-erbB-2, Ki-67, p53 and nm23 proteins in tissues of colorectal cancer were detected by using immunohistochemistry. The relations between the expression level of DDX46 protein and the clinicopathological features including the age, gender, tumor differentiation, tumor infiltration, lymph node metastasis, TNM stage were analyzed, and the relations between DDX46 protein expression and expressions of C-erbB-2, Ki-67, p53 and nm23 proteins were also analyzed. Results Of 149 colorectal cancer tissues, 50 (33.6％) showed low expressions of DDX46 protein and 99 (66.4％) showed high expressions. Of 45 adjacent mucosa tissues, 37 (82.2％) showed low expressions of DDX46 protein, and 8 (17.8％) showed high expressions. There were significant differences between the high expression rate of DDX46 protein in cancer tissues and adjacent mucosa tissues (χ2=33.09, P<0.01). There were statistical differences in the expression level of DDX46 protein and tumor differentiation, tumor infiltration, lymph node metastasis, TNM staging (all P<0.05). The ratio of high-expressed DDX46 protein was increased with the low differentiation, high invasion degree, lymph node metastasis and late TNM staging. DDX46 protein expression was correlated with expressions of Ki-67, p53 and nm23 proteins (all P< 0.05), and the expression of DDX46 protein had a positive correlation with expressions of Ki-67 and p53 proteins (r values were 0.161 and 0.347), and a negative correlation with expression of nm23 protein (r= -0.561). Conclusions The high expression of DDX46 protein in colorectal cancer tissues is related with malignant biological behavior of the tumors and the key oncogenes. DDX46 protein could be regarded as the potential marker for the diagnosis and molecular targeting therapy of colorectal cancer.

Induction of Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress by Cadmium and Its Regulation on Nrf2 Signaling Pathway in Kidneys of Rats / 生物医学与环境科学（英文）

OBJECTIVE@#This study was conducted to investigate the regulation of endoplasmic reticulum stress on Nrf2 signaling pathway in the kidneys of rats.@*METHODS@#Rats were divided into twelve groups of six animals each. Some groups were pre-administered with bacitracin or tauroursodeoxycholic acid (TUDCA), and all of them were treated with 5-20 μmol/kg cadmium (Cd) for 48 h. The oxidative stress levels were analyzed using kits. The mRNA and protein expression levels of endoplasmic reticulum stress-related factors and Nrf2 signaling pathway-related factors were determined using RT-PCR and western blot.@*RESULTS@#Cd exposure resulted in oxidative stress in the kidneys of rats and upregulated the expression of endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS)-related factors and Nrf2 signaling pathway-related factors, especially at doses of 10 and 20 μmol/kg Cd, and the expression changes were particularly obvious. Moreover, after pretreatment with bacitracin, Cd upregulated the expression of ERS-related factors to a certain extent and, at higher doses, increased the mRNA expression of Nrf2. After pretreatment with TUDCA, Cd reduced the level of ERS to a certain extent; however, at these doses, there were no significant changes in the expression of Nrf2.@*CONCLUSION@#Cadmium can result in ERS and oxidative stress in the kidneys of rats, activate Nrf2, and upregulate the transcriptional expression of phase II detoxification enzymes under these experimental conditions. ERS has a positive regulation effect on Nrf2 signaling pathway but has little effect on the negative regulation of Nrf2 signaling pathway in cadmium toxicity.

Functional Connectivity-Based Modelling Simulates Subject-Specific Network Spreading Effects of Focal Brain Stimulation / 神经科学通报·英文版

Neurostimulation remarkably alleviates the symptoms in a variety of brain disorders by modulating the brain-wide network. However, how brain-wide effects on the direct and indirect pathways evoked by focal neurostimulation elicit therapeutic effects in an individual patient is unknown. Understanding this remains crucial for advancing neural circuit-based guidance to optimize candidate patient screening, pre-surgical target selection, and post-surgical parameter tuning. To address this issue, we propose a functional brain connectome-based modeling approach that simulates the spreading effects of stimulating different brain regions and quantifies the rectification of abnormal network topology in silico. We validated these analyses by pinpointing nuclei in the basal ganglia circuits as top-ranked targets for 43 local patients with Parkinson's disease and 90 patients from a public database. Individual connectome-based analysis demonstrated that the globus pallidus was the best choice for 21.1% and the subthalamic nucleus for 19.5% of patients. Down-regulation of functional connectivity (up to 12%) at these prioritized targets optimally maximized the therapeutic effects. Notably, the priority rank of the subthalamic nucleus significantly correlated with motor symptom severity (Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale III) in the local cohort. These findings underscore the potential of neural network modeling for advancing personalized brain stimulation therapy, and warrant future experimental investigation to validate its clinical utility.
