Three-dimensional (3D) printed bioactive scaffolds have been widely used in the field of bone tissue engineering. However, its in vivo visualization and bacterial inflammation are intractable issues during the surgery and treatment. Herein, we first synthesized an aggregation-induced emission-active luminogen (AIEgen) named with efficient reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. Then, a series of 3D bioactive scaffolds loaded with were fabricated by a precipitation adsorption method, namely @scaffolds, which showed good in situ imaging performance for the implanted scaffolds by using simple UV light irradiation. Among them, the @TMP scaffold composed of trimagnesium phosphate (TMP) had excellent bactericidal ability for and in vitro and resisted bacterial inflammation in vivo through photodynamic action. H&E and immunofluorescence staining were performed to further evaluate the inhibitory effect of bacterial inflammation in vivo. This work verified that AIEgen-based 3D scaffolds are promising bioactive frameworks for bioimaging and antibacterial applications.

Rationale: Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) bloodstream infections are a severe complication resulting from granulocyte deficiency following chemotherapy for hematologic malignancies and have a high mortality rate. However, reports of disseminated organ infections secondary to bloodstream infections are rare.

Patient Concerns And Diagnoses: We report 2 cases of patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia who both developed CRKP bloodstream infections during the granulocyte deficiency stage following chemotherapy, with 1 case of secondary bacterial liver abscess and 1 case of secondary septic arthritis.

Human recombination-activating gene (RAG) deficiency can manifest with distinct clinical and immunological phenotypes. By applying a multiomics approach to a large group of -mutated patients, we aimed at characterizing the immunopathology associated with each phenotype. Although defective T and B cell development is common to all phenotypes, patients with hypomorphic variants can generate T and B cells with signatures of immune dysregulation and produce autoantibodies to a broad range of self-antigens, including type I interferons.

Within mammalian cells, diverse endocytic mechanisms, including phagocytosis, pinocytosis, and receptor-mediated endocytosis, serve as gateways exploited by many bacterial pathogens and toxins. Among these, caveolae-mediated endocytosis is characterized by lipid-rich caveolae and dimeric caveolin proteins. Caveolae are specialized microdomains on cell surfaces that impact cell signaling.
