In hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), lenvatinib is a key first-line treatment that significantly improves survival in some patients with advanced stage. However, lenvatinib resistance presents a major clinical challenge. This study aims to identify key molecular factors driving lenvatinib resistance in HCC and propose intervention strategies to overcome this resistance, thereby enhancing therapeutic efficacy.

Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) is caused by the SFTS virus (SFTSV) with high morbidity and mortality. The major immunodominant region of SFTSV surface glycoprotein (G) remains unclear. In this study, we constructed adenovirus type 5 (Ad5) vectored vaccine candidates expressing different regions of SFTSV G (Gn, Gc and Gn-Gc) and evaluated their immunogenicity and protective efficacy in mice.

Article Synopsis
  • The tumor microenvironment (TME) significantly affects the success of treatments for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), specifically highlighting the role of tumor-associated endothelial cells (TECs) that influence tumor development and treatment response.
  • A study using multi-omics profiling investigated different TEC subpopulations in HCC, uncovering a new subset, CXCL12 TECs, that suppresses immune responses by preventing T cell activation and attracting immune-suppressive cells.
  • Targeting CXCL12 TECs with a bispecific antibody aimed at both CXCL12 and PD1 shows potential to enhance anti-tumor immune responses, representing a promising strategy to improve HCC immunotherapy outcomes.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study aimed to create a nomogram that predicts the risk of tumor lysis syndrome (TLS) in pediatric patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), using clinical indicators present at diagnosis.
  • - Researchers analyzed data from 2243 ALL patients and identified six key risk factors for TLS, including high white blood cell count and low serum phosphorus, potassium, and AST levels, among others.
  • - The developed nomogram showed strong predictive performance, with a high area under the curve (AUC) and confirmed its reliability through statistical tests, suggesting it could greatly aid in clinical decision-making regarding TLS risk.

Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-responsive beige ankyrin (LRBA) gene mutations were first reported as the cause of immunodeficiency syndromes and autoimmunity in 2012. The majority of LRBA patients have multiple organ system involvement and a complex clinical phenotype. Herein we present a comprehensive account on the disease progression and transplantation procedure in a patient with LRBA deficiency who exhibited progressive autoimmune disease symptoms along with recurrent pulmonary infections since the age of 6 years old.

Article Synopsis
  • Cardiotoxicity is a major concern in children after undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT), and early identification of risk factors can enhance patient outcomes.* -
  • A study involving 444 pediatric patients revealed that 16.4% experienced early cardiac events (ECEs), with various issues such as valvular disease and arrhythmia noted.* -
  • Risk factors for ECEs included being older than 6 years, being female, having a low body mass index, and HLA mismatches, with higher ECE occurrences linked to lower survival rates.*

Cancer immunotherapy has demonstrated significant efficacy in various tumors, but its effectiveness in treating Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) remains limited. Therefore, there is an urgent need to identify a new immunotherapy target and develop corresponding intervention strategies. Bioinformatics analysis has revealed that growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF15) is highly expressed in HCC and is closely related to poor prognosis of HCC patients.

Background: Tumor lysis syndrome (TLS) often occurs early after induction chemotherapy for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and can rapidly progress. This study aimed to construct a machine learning model to predict the risk of TLS using clinical indicators at the time of ALL diagnosis.

Methods: This observational cohort study was conducted at the National Clinical Research Center for Child Health and Disease.

Human inactivated rabies virus (RABV) vaccines have been widely used worldwide over 30 years. The mechanisms of humoral immunity elicited by previously reported rabies candidate vaccines have been fully investigated, but little is known about the cellular immunity profiles. Herein, the recombinant RABV rLBNSE-IL-33 overexpressing the mouse interleukin-33 (IL-33) proliferated well in Neuro-2a cells and had no effects with the parent virus on growth kinetic in vitro and viral pathogenicity in mice.

Objectives: The clinical characteristics, risk factors and survival prognosis of pericardial effusion (PE) after haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) in children were investigated.

Methods: Clinical data of children who underwent HSCT at the Children's Hospital Affiliated with Chongqing Medical University from January 2016 to December 2022 were analysed retrospectively. Cox proportional hazards regression and the Kaplan-Meier method were used to analyse the risk factors for post-HSCT PE and its impact on outcomes, respectively.

Objective: To investigate similarities and differences in immune reconstitution after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) in children with Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome (WAS) and chronic granulomatous disease (CGD).

Method: We retrospectively analyzed the lymphocyte subpopulations and the serum level of various immune-related protein or peptide on Days 15, 30, 100, 180 and 360 post-transplantation in 70 children with WAS and 48 children with CGD who underwent allo-HSCT at the Transplantation Center of the Department of Hematology-Oncology, Children's Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from January 2007 to December 2020, and we analyzed the differences in the immune reconstitution process between the two groups.

Results: ① The WAS group had higher lymphocyte subpopulation counts than the CGD group.

Developing analytical methods for the chemical components of natural medicines remains a challenge due to its diversity and complexity. Miao-Fu-Zhi-Tong (MFZT) granules, an ethnic Yi herbal prescription, comprises 10 herbs and has been clinically applied for gouty arthritis (GA) therapy. Herein, a series of chemical profiling strategies including in-house library matching, molecular networking and MS/MS fragmentation behavior validation based on ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS) were developed for qualitative analysis of MFZT granules.

The role of adhesion receptor integrin αvβ3 in T-ALL was unclear. Firstly, we performed quantitative real-time PCR to assess medullary expression of integrin β3(ITGB3) in T-ALL patients and high ITGB3 expression was relevant with the central nervous system leukemia(CNSL) incidence. Decreasing of cell invasion was observed in Jurkat and Molt4 treated with integrin αvβ3 specific antibody and inhibitor as well as cells with ITGB3 interference.

Background: Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus (SFTSV) is a tick-borne bunyavirus that could cause a severe hemorrhagic fever termed SFTS with a high fatality rate of up to 30%. Importantly, SFTSV is frequently transmitted from person-to-person and patients' blood or excreta are considered as the risk factors for transmission of SFTSV. However, the mechanism of person-to-person transmission of SFTSV is still elusive.

Background: The reciprocal fate decision of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to either bone or adipocytes is determined by Wnt-related signaling and the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R). Azoramide, an ER stress alleviator, was reported to have an antidiabetic effect. In this study, we investigated the function of azoramide in regulating the lineage determination of MSCs for either adipogenic or osteogenic differentiation.
