BACKGROUND: Novel and effective immunotherapies are required for refractory or recurrent sarcomas. Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-ß) is a diverse regulatory and fibrogenic protein expressed in multiple sarcoma tumors that promotes epithelial-mesenchymal transition and excessive deposition of extracellular matrix. This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of the anti-PD-L1/TGF-ß antibody TQB2858 in patients with refractory osteosarcoma and alveolar soft part sarcoma (ASPS). METHODS: This single-arm phase 1b exploratory study included patients with refractory osteosarcoma or ASPS who had previously undergone at least two lines of systemic therapy. Patients were administered 1200 mg of TQB2858 once every 3 weeks. The primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR), with null and alternative hypotheses of ORR ≤5% and ≥20%, respectively. Exploratory biomarker analyses using immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining (for PD-L1 and TGF-ß) were performed on pre-treatment tumor samples. RESULTS: Eleven eligible patients were included in this study. TQB2858 did not demonstrate evidence of efficacy as 0/5 osteosarcomas had any objective response, while 2/6 ASPS showed a partial response. The median progression-free survivals were 1.51 (1.38, Not Evaluable) and 2.86 (1.38, Not Evaluable) months for the osteosarcoma and ASPS groups, respectively. None of the administered cycles met the criteria for unacceptable toxicity. Other Grade 3 toxicities included abnormal liver function and elevation of γ-glutamyl transferase. IHC analysis revealed that functional enrichment in the TGF-ß pathway or PD-L1 was not associated with treatment outcomes. CONCLUSIONS: The combination of PD-L1 and TQB2858 did not significantly improve the ORR in patients with recurrent osteosarcoma. However, it improved immunogenic responses in ASPS, even after progression upon anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapy, with an acceptable safety profile. IHC profiling with pathway enrichment analysis may not have any predictive value for survival outcomes. TRIAL REGISTRATION: Prospectively registered in the Ethical Review Committee of Peking University People's Hospital. The trial registration number is 2021PHA105-001 and 2021PHA140-001 and the registration date was March 2, 2022. CLINICALTRIALS: gov Identifier CTR20213001 and CTR20220390.

A new quinoline alkaloid, 5-hydroxy-6-methoxy-N-methyl-2-phenylquinoline-4-one (1), and seventeen known quinoline alkaloids (2-18) were isolated from the roots of Orixa japonica. The structure of 1 was determined by analysis of spectroscopic data. Among them, compounds 2, 3, and 13 were isolated from this plant for the first time. All isolates were screened for the anti-pathogenic fungi activities, including Rhizoctonia solani, Magnaporthe oryzae, and Phomopsis sp. The results showed that five compounds (4, 8, 10, 11, and 12) exhibited significant anti-pathogenic fungi effects at 50.0 µg/mL. In special, compound 10 exhibited the best antifungal activities toward R. solani and M. oryzae with the IC50 values of 37.86 and 44.72â µM, respectively, better than that of the positive control, hymexazol (IC50 121.21 and 1518.18â µM, respectively). Moreover, eleven new quinoline alkaloids derivatives (12a-12k) were designed and synthesized to investigate the structure-activity relationships (SARs). The SARs analysis indicated that the furo[2,3-b]quinoline skeleton and the methoxy at C-7 (compounds 8, 11, and 12) played a key role for improving the antifungal activities.

Hypermonins A-D (1-4), four rearranged nor-polycyclic polyprenylated acylphloroglucinols (PPAPs) with unprecedented skeletons, together with two new biosynthesis related PPAPs (5 and 6) were isolated and identified from the flowers of Hypericum monogynum. Hypermoins A-D represented the first examples of highly modified norPPAPs characterized by a rare 7/6/6/5-tetracyclic system. From the biogenic synthesis pathway analysis, all isolates shared the same biosynthetic intermediate, and the addition of two methyls or one methyl to this intermediate through methyltranferase could generate different types of PPAPs (1-7). Their planner structures as well as absolute configuration were confirmed via spectroscopic analysis, ECD calculation, and X-ray crystallography. All isolates potentially reversed multidrug resistance (MDR) activity in both two cancer cells, HepG2/ADR and MCF-7/ADR. Specifically, hypermoin E (5) and hyperielliptone HA (7) were found to be the best MDR modulators with the reversal fold ranging from 41 to 236, which is higher than the positive control verapamil.

Hypsampsone A (1) and hyperhexanone F (2), two novel seco-polycyclic polyprenylated acylphloroglucinols, were isolated from Hypericum sampsonii. Hypsampsone A (1) features the first spirocyclic system fused with 5/6/5/5 tetracyclic skeleton. Hyperhexanone F (2) represents the second novel 1,2-seco-bicyclo[3.3.1]-PPAP skeleton. Their structures were established by extensive spectroscopic analysis, computer-assisted structure elucidation software, and calculated electronic circular dichroism spectra. A plausible biogenetic pathway of 1 was also proposed. Compounds 1 and 2 showed moderate multidrug resistance reversal activity to adriamycin (ADR) resistant cancer cell lines, HepG2/ADR and MCF-7/ADR, with the fold-reversals ranging from 16 to 38 at noncytotoxic concentration of 10 µM.

Tissue transglutaminase (TG2) plays an important role in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Previous research indicate that TG2 and protein serotonylation catalyzed by TG2 are upregulated in PAH. Serotonin transporter inhibitor fluoxetine ameliorates PAH via inhibition of protein serotonylation. It is still unknown whether PAH is inhibited through direct inhibition of TG2. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the effects of TG2 inhibitor cystamine on monocrotaline-induced PAH in rats. Rats were treated with monocrotaline (60 mg·kg-1, i.p.) in combination with or without cystamine (20, 40 mg·kg-1·day-1, p.o.). The results showed that compared with monocrotaline alone, combination of monocrotaline with cystamine (40 mg·kg-1·day-1, p.o.) relieved right ventricle hypertrophy, inhibited pulmonary arteriolar remodeling, and downregulated protein expression of TG2, phosphorylated protein kinase B (Akt), and extracellular regulated protein kinase (ERK) at day 21. However, except for TG2 expression, these changes were not significantly inhibited by cystamine at day 35. In addition, cystamine dose-dependently enhanced the survival rate of rats injected with monocrotaline at day 35. The findings suggest that cystamine slows but not reverses monocrotaline-induced PAH in rats, which was largely associated with the inhibition of TG2 protein expression and Akt and ERK activation.

BACKGROUND: The Internet is increasingly being applied in health education worldwide; however there is little knowledge of its use in Chinese higher education institutions. The present study provides the first review and highlights the deficiencies and required future advances in Chinese Internet-based health education. METHODS: Two authors independently conducted a duplicate Internet search in order to identify information regarding Internet-based health education in China. RESULTS: The findings showed that Internet-based education began in China in September 1998. Currently, only 16 of 150 (10.7%) health education institutions in China offer fee-based online undergraduate degree courses, awarding associates and/or bachelors degrees. Fifteen of the 16 institutions were located in the middle or on the eastern coast of China, where were more developed than other regions. Nursing was the most popular discipline in Internet-based health education, while some other disciplines, such as preventive medicine, were only offered at one university. Besides degree education, Chinese institutions also offered non-degree online training and free resources. The content was mainly presented in the form of PowerPoint slides or videos for self-learning. Very little online interactive mentoring was offered with any of the courses. CONCLUSIONS: There is considerable potential for the further development of Internet-based health education in China. These developments should include a focus on strengthening cooperation among higher education institutions in order to develop balanced online health curricula, and on enhancing distance education in low- and middle-income regions to meet extensive learning demands.

As part of our ongoing investigation of natural bioactive substances from the genus Thermopsis of the tribe Fabaceae for agricultural protection, the chemical constituents of the herb Thermopsis lupinoides were systematically investigated, which led to the isolation of 39 quinolizidine alkaloids (QAs) (1-39), including 14 new QAs (1-14) and 14 isoflavones (40-53). Their structures were elucidated through comprehensive spectroscopic data analysis (IR, UV, NMR, HRESIMS), ECD calculations, and X-ray crystallography. The antitomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) and antifungal (against Botrytis cinerea, Gibberella zeae, Phytophythora capsica, and Alternaria alternata) and insecticidal (against Aphis fabae and Tetranychus urticae) activities of the isolated compounds were screened using the lesion counting method, mycelial inhibition assay, and spray method, respectively. The bioassay results showed that 34 exhibited excellent protective activity against TSWV, with an EC50 value of 36.04 µg/mL, which was better than that of the positive control, ningnanmycin (86.03 µg/mL). The preliminary mechanistic exploration illustrated that 34 induced systemic acquired resistance in the host plant by acting on the salicylic acid signaling pathway. Moreover, 1 showed significant antifungal activity against B. cinerea (EC50 value of 20.83 µg/mL), while 2 exhibited good insecticidal activity against A. fabae (LC50 value of 24.97 µg/mL). This research is promising for the invention of novel pesticides from QAs with high efficiency and satisfactory ecological compatibility.

Through bioassay-guided isolation, eight undescribed coumarins (1-8), along with six reported coumarins (9-14), were obtained from Coriaria nepalensis. The new structures were determined by using IR, UV, NMR, HRESIMS, and ECD calculations. The results of the biological activity assays showed that compound 9 exhibited broad spectrum antifungal activities against all tested fungi in vitro and a significant inhibitory effect on Phytophthora nicotianae with an EC50 value of 3.00 µg/mL. Notably, compound 9 demonstrated greater curative and protective effects against tobacco balack shank than those of osthol in vivo. Thus, 9 was structurally modified to obtain new promising antifungal agents, and the novel derivatives (17b, 17j, and 17k) exhibited better effects on Sclerotinia sclerotiorum than did lead compound 9. Preliminary mechanistic exploration illustrated that 9 could enhance cell membrane permeability, destroy the morphology and ultrastructure of cells, and reduce the exopolysaccharide content of P. nicotianae mycelia. Furthermore, the cytotoxicity results revealed that compound 9 exhibited relatively low cytotoxicity against HEK293 cell lines with an inhibition rate of 33.54% at 30 µg/mL. This research is promising for the discovery of new fungicides from natural coumarins with satisfactory ecological compatibility.

As a continuous flow investigation of novel pesticides from natural quinolizidine alkaloids, the chemical compositions of the seeds of Sophora alopecuroides were thoroughly researched. Fifteen new aloperine-type alkaloids (1-15) as well as six known aloperine-type alkaloids (16-21) were obtained from the extract of S. alopecuroides. The structures of 1-21 were confirmed via HRESIMS, NMR, UV, IR, ECD calculations, and X-ray diffraction. The antiviral activities of 1-21 against tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) were detected following the improved method of half-leaf. Compared with ningnanmycin (protective: 69.7% and curative: 64.3%), 15 exhibited excellent protective (71.7%) and curative (64.6%) activities against TMV. Further biological studies illustrated that 15 significantly inhibited the transcription of the TMV-CP gene and increased the activities of polyphenol oxidase (PPO), peroxidase (POD), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL). The antifungal activities of 1-21 against Phytophythora capsica, Botrytis cinerea, Alternaria alternata, and Gibberella zeae were screened according to a mycelial inhibition test. Compound 13 displayed excellent antifungal activity against B. cinerea (EC50: 7.38 µg/mL). Moreover, in vitro antifungal mechanism studies displayed that 13 causes accumulation of reactive oxygen species and finally leads to mycelia cell membrane damage and cell death in vitro.

In the era of molecular targeted drugs, elderly patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) are still very difficult to treat, especially those older than 70 years. The decline in immune function leads to serious infection and disease recurrence. The microtransplant treatment regimen (MST) chemotherapy combined with allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell infusion is a new cell therapy regimen. The aim of this MST study was to improve the survival of elderly patients by graft versus leukemia action and improving T-cell immune function. From May 2012 to July 2020, one hundred and eleven patients aged 70 to 88 years with de novo AML were analyzed retrospectively. After induction chemotherapy, patients whom complete remission (CR) was achieved were given another 2 cycles of postremission therapy. The MST groups were given allogeneic stem cell infusion after each chemotherapy cycle. CR, leukemia-free survival, and overall survival (OS) were compared between groups. Additionally, the immune function and the T cell receptor (TCR) library of T cells were detected and analyzed. The MST group exhibited an encouragingly high CR rate (63.8%), even in high-risk patients (54%), and this rate was significantly higher than that in the chemotherapy alone group. The 1-year OS of MST patients was 57.7%, and it was 55.9% in the high-risk group. It was only 37.3% in the chemotherapy alone group. Higher numbers of naive T cells were found in the MST population than in the chemotherapy alone group. More updated T-cell clones were observed in MST patients by T-cell receptor repertoire analysis with a next-generation sequencing methodology. These results suggest that MST is a safe and practical regimen conducive to longer-term survival in patients of a highly advanced age with AML. Furthermore, it has broad clinical value in the recovery of immune function in elderly patients.
RESUMEN
Physalis angulata Linn. is an exotic Amazonian fruit that is commonly recognized as wild tomato, winter cherry, and gooseberry. While its fruit is known to contain many nutrients, such as minerals, fibers, and vitamins, few papers have investigated withanolide derivatives from its fruits. UPLC-Q-Orbitrap-MS/MS, which produces fragmentation spectra, was applied for the first time to guide the isolation of bioactive withanolide derivatives from P. angulata fruits. As a result, twenty-six withanolide derivatives, including two novel 1,10-secowithanolides (1 and 2) and a new derivative (3), were obtained. Compounds 1 and 2 are rare rearranged 1,10-secowithanolides with a tetracyclic 7/6/6/5 ring system. All structures were assigned through various spectroscopic data and quantum chemical calculations. Nine withanolide derivatives exhibited significant inhibitory effects on three tumor cell lines with IC50 values of 0.51-13.79 µM. Moreover, three new compounds (1-3) exhibited potential nitric oxide inhibitory effects in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated RAW264.7 cells (IC50: 7.51-61.8 µM). This investigation indicated that fruits of P. angulata could be applied to treat and prevent cancer and inflammatory-related diseases due to their potent active withanolide derivatives.

As part of our ongoing investigation of pesticide active quinolizidine alkaloids (QAs) from the family Fabaceae, the chemical constituents of the seeds of Thermopsis lanceolata R. Br. were systematically investigated. Bioassay-guided fractionation and purification of the crude extract led to the isolation of seventeen new QAs (1-17), including three new naturally occurring compounds (15-17), along with 15 known compounds (18-32). Their structures were elucidated by comprehensive spectroscopic data analysis (IR, UV, NMR, and HRESIMS) and quantum chemistry calculations (13C NMR and ECD). The antitomato spotted wilt virus activities and insecticidal activities against Aphis fabae, Nilaparvata lugens (Stal), and Tetranychus urticae of compounds 1-32 were screened using the lesion counting method, spray method, and rice-stem dipping method, respectively. Biological tests indicated that compounds 6, 9, 10, and 18 displayed significant anti-TSWV activities compared with the positive control ningnanmycin. Compounds 3, 4, and 5 showed better insecticidal activities against A. fabae with LC50 values of 10.07, 12.07, and 6.56 mg/L, respectively. Moreover, compounds 5, 18, and 24 exhibited moderate insecticidal activities against N. lugens (Stal) with LC50 values of 37.91, 53.44, and 31.21 mg/L, respectively. Furthermore, compounds 9 and 10 exhibited moderate insecticidal activities against T. urticae.
