    Abstract: Although the original purpose of the systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) classification criteria was to distinguish SLE from other mimic diseases, and to facilitate sample selection in scientific research, they have become widely used as diagnostic criteria in clinical situations. It is not known yet if regarding classification criteria as diagnostic criteria, what problems might be encountered? This is the first study comparing the three sets of classification criteria for SLE, the 1997 American College of Rheumatology (ACR’97), 2012 Systemic Lupus International Collaborating Clinics (SLICC’12) and 2019 European League Against Rheumatism/American College of Rheumatology (EULAR/ACR’19), for their ability to distinguish patients with SLE from patients with pure mucocutaneous manifestations (isolated cutaneous lupus erythematosus without internal disease, i-CLE) in the lupus disease spectrum. 1,865 patients with SLE and 232 patients with i-CLE were recruited from a multicenter study. We found that, due to low specificity, none of the three criteria are adept at distinguishing patients with SLE from patients with i-CLE. SLICC’12 performed best among the original three criteria, but if a positive ANA was removed as an entry criterion, EULAR/ACR’19 would performed better. A review of previous studies that compared the three sets of criteria was presented in this work.

    Abstract: In China, stroke is a major cause of mortality, and long-term physical and cognitive impairment. To meet this challenge, the Ministry of Health China Stroke Prevention Project Committee (CSPPC) was established in April 2011. This committee actively promotes stroke prevention and control in China. With government financial support of 838.4 million CNY, 8.352 million people from 536 screening points in 31 provinces have received stroke screening and follow-up over the last seven years (2012–2018). In 2016, the CSPPC issued a plan to establish stroke centers. To shorten the pre-hospital period, the CSPPC established a stroke center network, stroke map, and stroke “Green Channel” to create three 1-h gold rescue circles, abbreviated as “1-1-1” (onset to call time 〈 1 h; pre-hospital transfer time  〈  1 h, and door-to-needle time  〈  1 h). From 2017 to 2018, the median door-to-needle time dropped by 4.0% (95% confidence interval (CI), 1.4–9.4) from 50 min to 48 min, and the median onset-to-needle time dropped by 2.8% (95% CI, 0.4–5.2) from 180 min to 175 min. As of 31 December 2018, the CSPPC has established 380 stroke centers in mainland China. From 1 November 2018, the CSPPC has monitored the quality of stroke care in stroke center hospitals through the China Stroke Data Center Data Reporting Platform. The CSPPC Stroke program has led to a significant improvement in stroke care. This program needs to be further promoted nationwide.

    Abstract: Acute liver failure (ALF) is characterized by rapid liver cell destruction. It is a multi-etiological and fulminant complication with a clinical mortality of over 80%. Therapy using mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) or MSCs-derived exosomes can alleviate acute liver injury, which has been demonstrated in animal experiments and clinical application. However, similar to other stem cells, different cell sources, poor stability, cell senescence and other factors limit the clinical application of MSCs. To achieve mass production and quality control on stem cells and their exosomes, transfecting umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell (UCMSC) with lentivirus overexpressing human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) gene, the hTERT-UCMSC was constructed as an immortalized MSC cell line. Compared with the primary UCMSC (P3) and immortalized cell line hTERT-UCMSC at early passage (P10), the hTERT-UCMSC retained the key morphological and physiological characteristics of UCMSC at the 35th passage (P35), and showed no signs of carcinogenicity and toxic effect in mice. There was no difference in either exosome production or characteristics of exosomes among cultures from P3 primary cells, P10 and P35 immortalized hTERT-UCMSCs. Inoculation of either hTERT-UCMSC (P35) or its exosomes improved the survival rate and liver function of ALF mice induced by thioacetamide (TAA). Our findings suggest that this immortalized cell line can maintain its characteristics in long-term culture. Inoculation of hTERT-UCMSC and its exosomes could potentially be used in clinics for the treatment of liver failure in the future.

    Abstract: In this study, we aim to identify the clinical significance of basonuclin 1 ( BNC1) expression in ovarian carcinoma (OV) and to explore its latent mechanisms. Via integrating in-house tissue microarrays, gene chips, and RNA-sequencing data, we explored the expression and clinical value of BNC1 in OV. Immunohistochemical staining was utilized to confirm the protein expression status of BNC1. A combined SMD of –2.339 (95% CI: –3.649 to –1.028, P  〈  0.001) identified that BNC1 was downregulated based on 1346 samples, and the sROC (AUC = 0.93) showed a favorable discriminatory ability of BNC1 in OV patients. We used univariate and multivariate Cox regulation to evaluate the prognostic role of BNC1 for OV patients, and a combined hazard ratio of 0.717 (95% CI: 0.445–0.989, P  〈  0.001) revealed that BNC1 was a protective factor for OV. Furthermore, the fraction of infiltrating naive B cells, memory B cells, and other immune cells showed statistical differences between the high- and low- BNC1 expression groups through cell-type identification by estimating relative subsets of RNA transcripts (CIBERSORT) algorithm. Enrichment analysis showed that BNC1 may have a relationship with immune-related items in OV. By predicting the potential regulatory transcription factors (TFs) of BNC1, friend leukemia virus integration 1 ( FLI1) may be a potential upstream TF of BNC1. Corporately, a decreasing trend of BNC1 may serve as a tumor suppressor and prognostic biomarker in OV patients. Moreover, BNC1 may take part in immune-related pathways and influence the fraction of tumor-infiltrating immune cells.

    Abstract: Teriflunomide is a first-line oral immunomodulatory agent approved in China for the treatment of relapsing multiple sclerosis. Objective: To compare the treatment outcomes of teriflunomide and no disease-modifying therapy (DMT) treatment (in first year) in multi-center real-world Chinese multiple sclerosis patients. Design: Retrospective study. Methods: This study was conducted in five tertiary hospitals in different geographical regions of China. We collected clinical data of patients treated with teriflunomide and no DMT treatment (in first year) between 1 January 2017 and 31 August 2021. The effectiveness of teriflunomide was described. Potential factors influencing the effectiveness of teriflunomide were investigated. Results: A total of 372 patients treated with teriflunomide and 148 no DMT treatment patients were included. A total of 292 patients were treated with teriflunomide for at least 6 months, described as a stable teriflunomide cohort. The annualized relapse rate was significantly lower in the stable teriflunomide cohort than in the no DMT treatment cohort (0.23 ± 0.47 versus 0.87 ± 0.67, p  〈  0.001). The mean Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) score of the stable teriflunomide cohort (1.77 ± 1.62) was slightly different from that of the no DMT treatment cohort (2.09 ± 2.00). A previous annualized relapse rate of ⩾1, a previous EDSS score of ⩾2, and a long disease duration of ⩾5 years were associated with better clinical effectiveness. Conclusion: Teriflunomide is associated with a lower relapse rate and less disability accumulation in Chinese patients with multiple sclerosis.

    Abstract: Although most frequently used in experimental osteoarthritis (OA) pain induction, intra-articular mono-iodoacetate (MIA) injection lacks concluded references for dose selection and timing of intervention. Herein, we aimed to compare the pain intensity of rats induced by different doses of MIA and explored the trajectory of pain. Design PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science were searched up to June 2021 for literatures involving MIA experiments investigating OA pain. Pain intensity was measured based on weightbearing distribution (WBD) and paw withdrawal thresholds (PWT), and the pain trajectory was constructed by evaluating pain intensity at a series of time points after MIA injection. A conventional meta-analysis was conducted. Results A total of 140 studies were included. Compared with saline, MIA injections caused significantly higher pain intensity for WBD and PWT. Dose-response relationships between different doses of MIA and pain intensity were observed ( P-for-trend 〈 0.05). A pronounced increase in pain occurred from day 0 to day 7, but the uptrend ceased between day 7 and day 14, after which the pain intensity continued to rise and reached the maximum by day 28. Conclusions Pain intensity after intra-articular MIA injection increased in a dose-dependent manner and the pain trajectory manifested a specific pattern consistent with the pathological mechanisms of MIA-induced pain, providing possible clues for proper dose selection and timing of specific OA pain interventions.

    Abstract: A novel up-conversion luminescence tetranuclear sodium complex [Na 4 (5-(carboxymethyl 2-oxo-propyl) amino isophthalic acid)(H 2 O) 9 ] is synthesized by a solvothermal reaction, and its crystal structure is determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The title complex crystallizes as a triclinic system with the P [Formula: see text] space group and exists as an isolated tetranuclear complex. Numerous intermolecular hydrogen bonds and van der waals forces form a three-dimensional supramolecular network. Solid-state diffuse reflectance data show that there is a wide optical band gap of 2.91 eV. The solid-state photoluminescence spectrum reveals that the complex shows an up-conversion emission in the blue region of the light spectrum. Time-dependent density functional theory calculations reveal that this emission can be attributed to ligand-to-ligand charge transfer.

    Abstract: Plain language summary The least number of BPA session to reach a favorable outcome Why was the study done? Balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) has been recommended for patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension, which can significantly improve patients’ hemodynamics. However, BPA is typically performed in a stepwise manner, and the duration from the initial session to the final session could extend over a year. If patients could not quickly undergo adequate number of BPA sessions and reach hemodynamic target due to various reasons, what is the best frequency of BPA for them? What did the researchers do? We retrospectively enrolled 186 BPA-treated patients diagnosed with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension. According to the accumulative number of BPA sessions, we divided patients into different groups to identify the best frequency of BPA to improve prognosis. What did the researchers find? Patients who received at least two BPA sessions within six months had significantly better prognosis than those with one BPA session. Patients who received at least three BPA sessions within a year had significantly better prognosis than those with two BPA sessions. What do the findings mean? To achieve optimal short-term outcome, patients might need to undergo at least two BPA sessions within six months, and undergo at least three BPA sessions within a year.

    Abstract: The patient was a 62-year-old man diagnosed as having prostatic extra-gastrointestinal stromal tumor (EGIST) who was treated with imatinib. No recurrence or metastasis was found after a 6-month follow-up. We identified 14 cases of prostatic primary EGIST in PubMed and summarized these cases with our case. The patients’ ages ranged from 31 to 78 years (average: 53.6 years), and most patients’ prostate-specific antigen (PSA) concentrations were within normal limits (92.9%, 13/14). All patients underwent imaging examinations; prostatic masses measured 6 to 14.2 cm (mean: 9.43 cm), and imaging excluded secondary prostatic masses from the intestinal tract. By immunohistochemical staining, the tumors were positive for cluster of differentiation (CD)117 (71.4%, 10/14), DOG1 (100%, 7/7), and CD34 (100%, 14/14), and negative for smooth muscle actin (SMA) (71.4%, 10/14), desmin (100%, 11/11), and S100 (100%, 12/12). Treatment depended on the results of the gene mutation detection as well as the risk estimation according to tumor size and microscopic mitotic rates ( 〉 5 per 50 high-power fields: 60%, 6/10). Among the 12 patients with reported outcomes, nine achieved good results (no recurrence or metastasis), one achieved reduced mass volume, one experienced recurrence, and one died.

    Abstract: Nerve injury can induce aberrant changes in ion channels, enzymes, and cytokines/chemokines in the dorsal root ganglia (DRGs); these changes are due to or at least partly governed by transcription factors that contribute to the genesis of neuropathic pain. However, the involvement of transcription factors in neuropathic pain is poorly understood. In this study, we report that transcription factor (TF) ETS proto-oncogene 1 (ETS1) is required for the initiation and development of neuropathic pain. Sciatic nerve chronic constrictive injury (CCI, a clinical neuropathic pain model) increases ETS1 expression in the injured male mouse DRG. Blocking this upregulation alleviated CCI-induced mechanical allodynia and thermal hyperalgesia, with no apparent effect on locomotor function. Mimicking this upregulation results in the genesis of nociception hypersensitivity; mechanistically, nerve injury-induced ETS1 upregulation promotes the expression of histone deacetylase 1 (HDAC1, a key initiator of pain) via enhancing its binding activity to the HDAC1 promotor, leading to the elevation of spinal central sensitization, as evidenced by increased expression of p-ERK1/2 and GFAP in the dorsal spinal horn. It appears that the ETS1/HDAC1 axis in DRG may have a critical role in the development and maintenance of neuropathic pain, and ETS1 is a potential therapeutic target in neuropathic pain.
