＜Editors' Choice＞ Advantages of gasless single-port transumbilical extracorporeal laparoscopic-assisted appendectomy in the treatment of uncomplicated acute appendicitis in children in China: a multi-institutional retrospective study.

Gasless transumbilical extracorporeal laparoscopic-assisted appendectomy is an approach used increasingly to treat uncomplicated acute appendicitis (UAA). However, there is limited information on its clinical effects and value in the Chinese pediatric population. This study retrospectively reviewed patients with UAA treated in two pediatric institutions from January 2018 through October 2021.

Rapid response in relapsed follicular lymphoma with massive chylous ascites to anti-CD19 CAR T therapy using Piggy Bac: A case report.

Unlabelled: CD19-directed chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy has been shown to achieve a considerably durable response in patients with refractory or relapsed B cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas, as seen from the results of Zuma-1, Zuma-5, and other clinical trials. Most of these CARs were generated by lentivirus or reverse adenovirus. It is rare to see CARs using non-viral vectors, such as Piggy Bac (pb), in treating lymphoma patients with active diseases.

Single-cell RNA-Seq reveals the potential risk of anti-mesothelin CAR T Cell therapy toxicity to different organs in humans.

"On-target off-tumor" toxicity is a major challenge to the use of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-engineered T cells in the treatment of solid malignancies, because of the expression of target antigens in normal tissues. Mesothelin overexpression is associated with poor prognosis of multiple solid tumors, and would therefore appear to be a suitable antigen target. To understand the risk of toxicity to different organs on anti-mesothelin CAR T cell therapy, single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) datasets derived from major human physiological systems were analyzed in this study, including the respiratory, cardiovascular, digestive, and urinary systems.

Evaluation of Nonviral and Vector in Functions of CD19chimeric Antigen Receptor T Cells and Their Antitumor Activity for CD19 Tumor Cells.

Nonviral transposon (PB) and (LV) vectors have been used to deliver chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) to T cells. To understand the differences in the effects of PB and LV on CAR T-cell functions, a CAR targeting CD19 was cloned into PB and LV vectors, and the resulting pbCAR and lvCAR were delivered to T cells to generate CD19pbCAR and CD19lvCAR T cells. Both CD19CAR T-cell types were strongly cytotoxic and secreted high IFN-γ levels when incubated with Raji cells.

-Generated CAR19-T Cells Plus Lenalidomide Cause Durable Complete Remission of Triple-Hit Refractory/Relapsed DLBCL: A Case Report.

MYC/BCL2/BCL6 triple-hit lymphoma (THL) is an uncommon subset of high-grade B-cell lymphoma with aggressive clinical behavior and poor prognosis. TP53 mutation is an independently poor progonistic indicator in patients with THL, hence novel therapeutic strategies are needed for these patients. CD19-directed chimeric antigen receptor(CAR19)-T cell therapy has shown promising efficacy for relapsed/refractory diffuse large B cell lymphoma (RR DLBCL), but the majority of CAR19-T cell products to date have been manufactured using viral vectors.

αPD-1-mesoCAR-T cells partially inhibit the growth of advanced/refractory ovarian cancer in a patient along with daily apatinib.

Unlabelled: Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is the leading cause of death among gynecological malignancies in China. In particular, advanced/refractory ovarian cancer lacks effective targeted therapies due to the immunosuppressive and proangiogenic tumor microenvironment. Mesothelin (MSLN) has been found to be highly expressive in most EOC.

Increased expression of HMGB3: a novel independent prognostic marker of worse outcome in patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.

HMGB3, an X-linked member of the high-mobility group (HMG) superfamily of HMG proteins, has been shown to affect numerous tumorigenic progression. However, the expression and the prognostic role of HMGB3 in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) remained unknown. In this study, we examined the HMGB3 expression in ESCC tissues and adjacent nontumorous tissues by qRT-PCR and immuohistochemistry.

A suppressor of cytokine signaling 1 antagonist enhances antigen-presenting capacity and tumor cell antigen-specific cytotoxic T lymphocyte responses by human monocyte-derived dendritic cells.

The suppressor of cytokine signaling 1 (SOCS1) has emerged as a critical inhibitory molecule for controlling the cytokine response and antigen presentation by dendritic cells (DCs), thereby regulating the magnitude of both innate and adaptive immunity. The aim of this study was to investigate whether the SOCS1 antagonist pJAK2(1001-1013) peptide can weaken or block the inhibition function of SOCS1 in DCs by evaluating the phenotype and cytokine production, antigen-presenting, and specific T-cell-activating capacities of DCs electroporated with human gastric cancer cell total RNA. Furthermore, STAT1 activation of the JAK/STAT signal pathway mediated by SOCS1 was analyzed by Western blotting.

1,2,3-Tri-O-acetyl-5-de-oxy-d-ribofuran-ose.

The title compound, C(11)H(16)O(7), was obtained from the breakage reaction of the glycosidic bond of 5'-de-oxy-2',3'-diacetyl-inosine. The ribofuran-ose ring has a C2-exo, C3-endo twist configuration. No alteration of the relative configuration compared with d-(-)-ribose is observed.

(Z)-1,3,4a-Trimethyl-5,5-diphenyl-6-oxa-1,3-diaza-bicyclo-[4.2.0]octane-2,4-dione.

The title compound, C(20)H(20)N(2)O(3), is a head-to-tail oxetane, one of the regioisomers obtained by the the Paternó-Büchi reaction of 1,3-dimethyl-thymine with benzophenone. The oxetane ring is folded, the dihedral angle between the C-O-C and C-C-C planes being 14.4 (2)°.

[Clinical pathological observation on acupuncture increasing medicine-induced complete abortion rate].

Objective: To probe into the method for effectively increasing complete abortion rate of medicine-induced abortion and observe pathological changes.

Methods: Two hundred cases were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group, 100 cases in each group. The observation group were treated by acupuncture at Hegu (LI 4), Sanyinjiao (SP 6), Neiguan (PC 6) and Kunlun (BL 60), and the control group were not treated by acupuncture.
