Application of targeted diagnosis of PSMA in the modality shift of prostate cancer diagnosis: a review.

Prostate cancer (PCa) is a serious threat to the health of men all over the world. The progression of PCa varies greatly among different individuals. In clinical practice, some patients often progress to advanced PCa. Therefore, accurate imaging for diagnosis and staging of PCa is particularly important for clinical management of patients. Conventional imaging examinations such as MRI and CT cannot accurately diagnose the pathological stages of advanced PCa, especially metastatic lymph node (LN) stages. As a result, developing an accurate molecular targeted diagnosis is crucial for advanced PCa. Prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is of great value in the diagnosis of PCa because of its specific expression in PCa. At present, researchers have developed positron emission tomography (PET) targeting PSMA. A large number of studies have confirmed that it not only has a higher tumor detection rate, but also has a higher diagnostic efficacy in the pathological stage of advanced PCa compared with traditional imaging methods. This review summarizes recent studies on PSMA targeted PET in PCa diagnosis, analyzes its value in PCa diagnosis in detail, and provides new ideas for urological clinicians in PCa diagnosis and clinical management.

Supramolecular Nanozyme System Based on Polydopamine and Polyoxometalate for Photothermal-Enhanced Multienzyme Cascade Catalytic Tumor Therapy.

The advent of enzyme-facilitated cascade events in which endogenous substrates within the human body are used to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) has spawned novel cancer treatment possibilities. In this study, a supramolecular cascade catalytic nanozyme system was successfully developed, exhibiting photothermal-enhanced multienzyme cascade catalytic and glutathione (GSH) depletion activities and ultimately triggering the apoptosis-ferroptosis synergistic tumor therapy. The nanozyme system was fabricated using ß-cyclodextrin-functionalized polydopamine (PDA) as the substrate, which was then entangled with polyoxometalate (POM) via electrostatic forces and assembled with adamantane-grafted hyaluronic acid and glucose oxidase (GOx) via host-guest supramolecular interaction for tumor targeting and GOx loading. The catalytic function of GOx facilitates the conversion of glucose to H2O2 and gluconic acid. In turn, this process affirms the propitious generation of hydroxyl radical (•OH) through the POM-mediated cascade catalysis. Additionally, the POM species actively deplete the intracellular GSH pool, initiating a cascade catalytic tumor therapy. In addition, the PDA-POM-mediated photothermal hyperthermia boosted the cascade catalytic effect and increased ROS production. This confers considerable promise for photothermal therapy (PTT)/nanocatalytic cancer therapy on supramolecular nanozyme systems. The in vitro and in vivo antitumor efficacy studies demonstrated that the supramolecular cascade catalytic nanozyme system was effective at reducing tumor development while maintaining an acceptable level of biocompatibility. Henceforth, this study is to widen the scope of cascade catalytic nanoenzyme production using supramolecular techniques, as well as endeavor to delineate a prospective pathway for the application of PTT-enhanced nanocatalytic tumor therapy.

Notable conservation gaps for biodiversity, ecosystem services and climate change adaptation on the Tibetan Plateau, China.

Incorporating biodiversity, ecosystem services (ESs) and climate change adaptation into the conservation targets of protected areas (PAs) is being acknowledged. Targeting conservation actions requires a thorough understanding of the relationship between PAs and these important regions. However, few studies have identified conservation gaps while simultaneously considering these three aspects. Here, we assessed the representativeness of the PAs network for biodiversity, ESs and climate refugia (as a proxy for climate change adaptation ability) on the Tibetan Plateau (TP). Our analysis showed that these priority conservation regions were primarily located in the south and southeast of the TP, while they were impacted by intense human pressure. Most ESs and all types of species richness showed a significant positive correlation. Additionally, a positive correlation between multiple climate refugia and different types of species richness was detected. Representativeness analysis revealed notable conservation gaps for these three aspects in existing PAs, highlighting the urgency of adjusting their distribution and improving their representativeness. By integrating these conservation targets, priority regions for future conservation were further delineated. Taken together, our findings contribute to improving the efficiency of PAs and optimizing conservation planning.

Construction of targeted 10B delivery agents and their uptake in gastric and pancreatic cancer cells.

Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) is a new binary radiation therapy for tumor tissue, which kills tumor cells with neutron capture reaction. Boron neutron capture therapy has become a technical means for glioma, melanoma, and other diseases has been included in the clinical backup program. However, BNCT is faced with the key problem of developing and innovating more efficient boron delivery agents to solve the targeting and selectivity. We constructed a tyrosine kinase inhibitor-L-p-boronophenylalanine (TKI-BPA) molecule, aiming to improve the selectivity of boron delivery agents by conjugating targeted drugs while increasing the molecular solubility by adding hydrophilic groups. It shows excellent selectivity in differential uptake of cells, and its solubility is more than 6 times higher than BPA, leading to the saving of boron delivery agents. This modification method is effective for improving the efficiency of the boron delivery agent and is expected to become a potential alternative with high clinical application value.

Real-Time Monitoring of CAR-T Cell Efficiency through a Biorthogonal Cycloaddition Labeling Strategy.

Chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) recognizing tumor-associated antigens (TAAs) effectively target tumor cells without using the major histocompatibility complex (MHC). However, CARs have inaccurate dose determination in clinical practice, and the methods that can solve this problem often produce cytotoxic substances, such as green fluorescent protein (GFP) insertion. Therefore, in this study, we tried to anchor harmless fluorescent labels on CAR-T cell membranes using highly biologically compatible strain-promoted alkyne-azide cycloaddition (SPAAC) without any byproducts. Our conjugated fluorescent label was stable on the CAR-T cell surface for at least two weeks, with excellent light stability and metrology. Also, this method enabled the rapid quantification of the living CAR-T cells without affecting their activity. Thus, this method is a promising reliable strategy for accurately diagnosing and treating cancer.

Application and optimization of prostate-specific antigen screening strategy in the diagnosis of prostate cancer: a systematic review.

Currently, prostate cancer (PCa) poses a global risk to the well-being of males. Over the past few years, the utilization of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) screening has become prevalent in the identification and management of PCa, which has promoted a large number of patients with advanced PCa to receive timely treatment and reduce the mortality. Nevertheless, the utilization of PSA in PCa screening has sparked debate, and certain research has validated the potential for overdiagnosis and overtreatment associated with PSA screening. Hence, in order to decrease the mortality rate of PCa patients and prevent unnecessary diagnosis and treatment, it is crucial to carefully choose the suitable population and strategy for PSA screening in PCa. In this systematic review, the clinical studies on PSA screening for the diagnosis and treatment of PCa were thoroughly examined. The review also delved into the effects and mechanisms of PSA screening on the prognosis of PCa patients, examined the factors contributing to overdiagnosis and overtreatment, and put forth strategies for optimization. The objective of this research is to offer valuable recommendations regarding the utilization of PSA screening for the detection and management of PCa.

Incidence and clinical characteristics of hypertriglyceridemic acute pancreatitis: A retrospective single-center study.

BACKGROUND: The incidence of hypertriglyceridemic acute pancreatitis (HTG-AP) has increased yearly, but updated population-based estimates on the incidence of HTG-AP are lacking. Reducing serum triglyceride (TG) levels quickly is crucial in the early treatment of HTG-AP. Decreased serum TG levels are treated by non-invasive methods, which include anti-lipidemic agents, heparin, low-molecular weight heparin, and insulin, and invasive methods, such as blood purification including hemoperfusion (HP), plasmapheresis, and continuous renal replacement therapy. However, authoritative guidelines have not been established. Early selection of appropriate treatment is important and beneficial in controlling the development of HTG-AP. AIM: To evaluate the effect between patients treated with intravenous insulin (INS) and HP to guide clinical treatment. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed 371 patients with HTG-AP enrolled in the Department of Fujian Provincial Hospital form April 2012 to March 2021. The inpatient medical and radiologic records were reviewed to determine clinical features, severity, complications, mortality, recurrence rate, and treatment. Multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to analyze risk factors for severe HTG-AP. Propensity score matching was used to compare the clinical outcomes of INS and HP. RESULTS: A total of 371 patients met the HTG-AP criteria. The incidence of HTG-AP was increased by approximately 2.6 times during the 10 years (8.4% in April 2012-March 2013 and 22.3% in April 2020-March 2021). The highest incidence rate of acute pancreatitis was observed for men in the age group of 30-39 years. The amylase level was elevated in 80.1% of patients but was only three times the normal value in 46.9% of patients. The frequency of severe acute pancreatitis (26.9%), organ failure (31.5%), rate of recurrence (32.9%), and mortality (3.0%) of HTG-AP was high. Improved Marshall score, modified computed tomography severity index score, baseline TG, baseline amylase, C-reactive protein (CRP), albumin, aspartate aminotransferase, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, urea nitrogen, creatinine, calcium, hemoglobin, free triiodothyronine, admission to intensive care unit, and mortality were significantly different between patients with different grades of severity (P < 0.050). Multivariate logistic regression analysis confirmed that high CRP [P = 0.005, odds ratio (OR) = 1.011, 95%CI: 1.003-1.019], low calcium (P = 0.003, OR = 0.016, 95%CI: 0.001-0.239), and low albumin (P = 0.023, OR = 0.821, 95%CI: 0.693-0.973) were risk factors of severe HTG-AP. After propensity score matching adjusted by sex, age, severity of HTG-AP, and baseline TG, the serum TG significantly decreased in patients treated with INS (P < 0.000) and HP (P < 0.000) within 48 h. However, the clearance rate of TG (57.24 ± 33.70% vs 56.38 ± 33.61%, P = 0.927) and length of stay (13.04 ± 7.92 d vs 12.35 ± 6.40 d, P = 0.730) did not differ between the two groups. CONCLUSION: The incidence of HTG-AP exhibited a significant increase, remarkable severity, and recurrent trend. Patients with mild and moderately severe acute pancreatitis can be treated effectively with INS safely and effectively without HP.

Hybrid Ag nanoparticles/polyoxometalate-polydopamine nano-flowers loaded chitosan/gelatin hydrogel scaffolds with synergistic photothermal/chemodynamic/Ag+ anti-bacterial action for accelerated wound healing.

Bacterial infections significantly slow the wound healing process, thus severely threatening human health. Furthermore, traditional antibiotics may promote the development of multidrug-resistant bacteria. Therefore, developing novel bactericides and therapeutic strategies for bacterial infections is important to enhance wound healing. Herein, a three-in-one bactericidal flower-like nanocomposite was assembled using Ag nanoparticles/phosphotungstic acid-polydopamine nano-flowers (AgNPs/POM-PDA). The nanocomposite exhibited photothermal therapy (PTT) when exposed to NIR light via photothermal conversion by PDA. The resultant photothermal effect accelerated and controlled the Ag+ released from AgNPs. The chemodynamic therapy (CDT) was obtained via POM catalytic Fenton-like reaction. The combined PTT/CDT/Ag+ treatment achieved excellent synergistic anti-bacterial activity against both gram-negative E. coli and gram-positive S. aureus. A multifunctional wound dressing was then obtained by embedding the AgNPs/POM-PDA flower-like nanocomposite into the chitosan (CS)/gelatin (GE) biocomposite hydrogel. The synergy of AgNPs/POM-PDA nanocomposites and CS/GE hydrogel remarkably accelerated wound healing in vivo due to the excellent biocompatibility, hydroabsorptivity, and breathability of the hydrogel. In this study, a multifunctional agent was developed to synergistically combat bacterial infections and accelerate wound healing.

Opportunities and challenges of targeting c-Met in the treatment of digestive tumors.

At present, a large number of studies have demonstrated that c-Met generally exerts a crucial function of promoting tumor cells proliferation and differentiation in digestive system tumors. c-Met also mediates tumor progression and drug resistance by signaling interactions with other oncogenic molecules and then activating downstream pathways. Therefore, c-Met is a promising target for the treatment of digestive system tumors. Many anti-tumor therapies targeting c-Met (tyrosine kinase inhibitors, monoclonal antibodies, and adoptive immunotherapy) have been developed in treating digestive system tumors. Some drugs have been successfully applied to clinic, but most of them are defective due to their efficacy and complications. In order to promote the clinical application of targeting c-Met drugs in digestive system tumors, it is necessary to further explore the mechanism of c-Met action in digestive system tumors and optimize the anti-tumor treatment of targeting c-Met drugs. Through reading a large number of literatures, the author systematically reviewed the biological functions and molecular mechanisms of c-Met associated with tumor and summarized the current status of targeting c-Met in the treatment of digestive system tumors so as to provide new ideas for the treatment of digestive system tumors.

The average output ratio of the industrial structure optimization of the electronics and communication manufacturing industry is 42.55%. Moreover, the proportion of the output of medical manufacturing and medical equipment and instrument manufacturing industrial structure optimization is small, 15.63% and 10.54%, respectively. The results have significant value in the research on the impact of the development of the IoT industry on the high- and new-tech industry under the wireless mobile network and the effect of its industrial structure optimization.

CAR-T Cells in the Treatment of Urologic Neoplasms: Present and Future.

In recent years, with the breakthrough of CAR-T cells in the treatment of hematological tumors, they are increasingly being used to treat solid tumors, including urologic neoplasms. There are many relatively specific targets for urologic neoplasms, especially prostate cancer. Besides, urologic neoplasms tend to progress more slowly than tumors in other organs of the body, providing ample time for CAR-T cell application. Therefore, CAR-T cells technology has inherent advantages in urologic neoplasms. CAR-T cells in the treatment of urologic neoplasms have been extensively studied and preliminary achievements have been made. However, no breakthrough has been made due to the problems of targeting extra-tumor cytotoxicity and poor anti-tumor activity. we systematacially summarized the research actuality of CAR-T cells in urologic neoplasms, discussed the potential value and difficulties of the research. The application of CAR-T cells in the treatment of urologic neoplasms requires improvement of function through screening for better targets, modification of CAR structures, or in combination with other antitumor approaches.

Study on the expression of c-Met in gastric cancer and its correlation with preoperative serum tumor markers and prognosis.

BACKGROUND: Studies have found that c-Met plays a critical role in the progression of solid tumors. This study aimed to investigate the expression of c-Met in gastric cancer (GC) and its correlation with preoperative serum tumor markers and prognosis, in order to provide a more theoretical basis for targeting c-Met in the treatment of GC. METHODS: Ninety-seven patients who underwent curative gastrectomy in our hospital from December 2013 to September 2015 were included in this study. The tissue microarray was constructed by paraffin-embedded tumor tissue of enrolled patients, including 97 GC points and 83 paracancerous points. Then, it was used for c-Met immunohistochemical staining, followed by an immunological H-score. The clinical baseline data and 5-year survival of patients with low and high c-Met expression were compared. Besides, the correlation between the expression of c-Met in tumor tissues and preoperative serum tumor markers was investigated. Finally, multivariate Cox regression analysis was used to explore the survival risk factors of patients. RESULTS: c-Met has a high expression rate in GC tissues 64.95% (63/97). The expression of c-Met was significantly different in different clinicopathological stages (p < 0.05); the high expression group also had a higher M stage and clinicopathological stage of GC. The correlation test between the c-Met H-score and CA125 was statistically significant (p = 0.004), indicating a positive correlation. Furthermore, high c-Met expression correlated with poor overall survival (OS) for 5 years (p = 0.005). It was also found that the high expression of c-Met in stage I-II patients was correlative with poor OS for 5 years (p = 0.026), while stage III-IV patients had no statistical significance (p > 0.05). Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that c-Met might be an independent risk factor for survival 5 years after surgery. CONCLUSION: This study found that the high expression of c-Met in GC tissues was associated with poor 5-year OS in GC patients and was an independent risk factor for 5-year survival after curative gastrectomy. The expression of c-Met in GC tissues was also positively correlated with preoperative serum CA125.

Pivotal roles of nanoscale zerovalent iron supported on metal-organic framework material in cadmium (II) migration and transformation in soil.

Cadmium (Cd) contamination in soils is of great concern, and therefore the development of effective remediation technologies for cadmium contamination is urgent. In our study, nano zero-valent iron (NZVI) supported by metal-organic framework (MOF) materials (MOF-NZVI) were prepared using NaBH4 and FeCl3 to try to solve the soil Cd remediation problem. Herein, the effects and the mechanism of MOF-NZVI for the immobilization of Cd in contaminated soil was investigated. The results showed that MOF-NZVI was capable of converting Cd in soil from weak acid extractable and reducible fractions to oxidizable and residual states, thus effectively reducing the toxicity of Cd in soil. FTIR and XRD analysis confirmed that the dominant reaction mechanism between MOF-NVZI and Cd is adsorption with complexation, and the stabilization of Cd is achieved by the formation of compounds such as FeOCdOH.

Boron Neutron Capture Therapy: Current Status and Challenges.

Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is a re-emerging therapy with the ability to selectively kill tumor cells. After the boron delivery agents enter the tumor tissue and enrich the tumor cells, the thermal neutrons trigger the fission of the boron atoms, leading to the release of boron atoms and then leading to the release of the α particles (4He) and recoil lithium particles (7Li), along with the production of large amounts of energy in the narrow region. With the advantages of targeted therapy and low toxicity, BNCT has become a unique method in the field of radiotherapy. Since the beginning of the last century, BNCT has been emerging worldwide and gradually developed into a technology for the treatment of glioblastoma multiforme, head and neck cancer, malignant melanoma, and other cancers. At present, how to develop and innovate more efficient boron delivery agents and establish a more accurate boron-dose measurement system have become the problem faced by the development of BNCT. We discuss the use of boron delivery agents over the past several decades and the corresponding clinical trials and preclinical outcomes. Furthermore, the discussion brings recommendations on the future of boron delivery agents and this therapy.

Special Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) Modifications of T Cells: A Review.

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) -T cell therapy has become one of the hot topics in tumor immunity research in recent years. Although CAR-T cell therapy is highly effective in treating hematological malignancies, there are numerous obstacles that prevent CAR-T cells from having anti-tumor effects. Traditional CARs, from the first to the fourth generation, are incapable of completely overcoming these challenges. Therefore, identifying ways to boost the efficacy of CAR-T cells by utilizing the limited tumor surface antigens has become an urgent area of research. Certain special CARs that have special structures, special systems, or are greatly improved on the basis of traditional CARs, such as tandem CAR, dual-signaling CARs, AND-gate CARs, inhibitory CAR, AND-NOT CARs, CARs with three scFvs, ON/OFF-switch CARs, and universal CARs have been introduced. This study aims to use these special CARs to improve the anti-tumor ability, accuracy, and safety of CAR-T cells. In addition to summarizing various special CARs of T cells, this paper also expounds some of our own conjectures, aiming to provide reference and inspiration for CARs researchers.

CtieSpace [version 5.8.R3 (64-bit)] and VOSviewer (version 1.6.17) were used to conduct the bibliometric and knowledge-map analysis. Results: 660 authors from 488 institutions in 104 countries/regions published 6,867 papers in 1,212 academic journals. The United States was absolutely in the leading position in this research field. The institution that contributed the most publications was the University of Pennsylvania. Carl H June published the most articles, while Shannon L Maude had the most co-citations. However, there was little cooperation between countries. After 2012, cooperation among various institutions was also small. The journals that published the most CAR-T cell-related papers were Frontiers in immunology and Cancers. Nevertheless, Blood and The New England Journal of Medicine were the most commonly co-cited journals. The most influential research hotspots were the research of CAR-T cells in hematological malignancies, the related research of cytokine release syndrome (CRS), CD19, and the anti-tumor activity and efficacy of CAR-T cells. The latest hotspots and topics included the study of CAR-T cells in solid tumors, universal CAR-T cells, CAR-NK cells, CD22, and anakinra (the IL-1 receptor antagonist). The research of CAR-T cells in solid tumors was a rapidly developing hot field. Emerging topics in this field mainly included the study of CAR-T cells in glioblastoma (related targets: IL13Rα2, EGFRvIII, and HER2), neuroblastoma (related target: GD2), sarcoma (related target: HER2), and pancreatic cancer (related target: mesothelin), especially glioblastoma. Conclusion: As an anti-tumor therapy with great potential and clinical application prospects, CAR-T cell therapy is still in a stage of rapid development. The related field of CAR-T cells will remain a research hotspot in the future.

Development of tannin-bridged cerium oxide microcubes-chitosan cryogel as a multifunctional wound dressing.

Efficient resolution of oxidative stress, inflammation, and bacterial infections is crucial for wound healing. To surmount these problems, tannic acid (TA)-bridged CeO2 microcubes and chitosan (CS) (CS-TA@CeO2) cryogel was fabricated through hydrogen bonding interactions as a multifunctional wound dressing. Successful introduction and uniform incorporation TA@CeO2 microtubules enter the CS network. Thus-obtained CS-TA@CeO2 cryogels displayed a suitable porous structure and swelling rate. Cryogels has excellent tissue adhesion, blood cell coagulation and hemostasis, anti-infection, and cell recruitment functions. In addition, the cryogel also showed good antibacterial activity against gram-positive bacteria and gram-negative bacteria. Based on the in vivo study of the multifunctional mixed cryogels, it promotes fibroblasts' adhesion and proliferation and significantly improves cell proliferation and tissue remodelling in wound beds. Furthermore, the chronic wound healing process in infected full-thickness skin defect models showed that cryogels significantly enhanced angiogenesis, collagen deposition and granulation tissue formation by providing a large amount of antioxidant activity. Therefore, this multifunctional mixed cryogels has potential clinical application value.

Identification of differentially expressed miRNAs derived from serum exosomes associated with gastric cancer by microarray analysis.

AIMS: To explore the differentially expressed microRNAs (DEMs) in serum exosomes between gastric cancer (GC) patients and healthy people to provide new targets for GC diagnosis and treatment. METHODS: DEMs in serum exosomes were screened by microarray analysis and verified by RT-qPCR. The target genes of DEMs were predicted using Targetscan and miRTarBase databases and then overlapped with the DEGs of STAD in TCGA database to obtain the common target genes. Biological function and pathway enrichment were analyzed using enrichr database, and a PPI network was constructed using STRING database. The potential target genes of DEMs were identified using the MCODE and cytoHubba plug-ins of Cytoscape software. Survival analysis were conducted using KMP and TCGA databases. The DEMs -target genes-pathways network was established using Cytoscape software. A Cox proportional hazards regression model formed by optimal target genes was used to access the reliability of this prediction process. RESULTS: Three serum exosomal microRNAs (exo-miRNAs, has-miR-1273 g-3p, has-miR-4793-3p, has-miR-619-5p) were identified to be highly expressed in GC patients and performed excellent diagnostic ability. A total of 179 common target genes related to GC were predicted. They were mainly involved in 79 GO functional annotations and 6 KEGG pathways. The prognostic model formed by eight optimal target genes (TIMELESS, DNA2, MELK, CHAF1B, DBF4, PAICS, CHEK1 and NCAPG2), which were low-risk genes of GC, also performed perfect prognostic ability. CONCLUSIONS: Serum exosomal has-miR-1273 g-3p, has-miR-4793-3p and has-miR-619-5p can be used as new diagnostic biomarkers for GC. Among them, serum exosomal hsa-miR-1273 g-3p / hsa-miR-4793-3p targets MELK and hsa-miR-619-5p targets NCAPG2 were identified as novel mechanisms involved in the development of GC. It provides new targets for the diagnosis and treatment of GC by exo-miRNAs.
