    Abstract: Stromal cells in the tumor microenvironment play crucial roles in glioma development. Current methods for isolating tumor-associated stromal cells (such as neutrophils) are inefficient due to the conflict between tissue dissociation and cell surface protein protection, which hampers the research on patient-derived stromal cells. Our study aims to establish a novel method for isolating glioma-associated neutrophils (GANs). Method: To observe neutrophil-like polymorphonuclear cells, we performed Hematoxylin-Eosin staining on glioma tissues. For isolating single cells from glioma tissues, we evaluated the efficiency of tissue dissociation with FastPrep Grinder-mediated homogenization or proteases (trypsin or papain) digestion. To definite specific markers of GANs, fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) and immunofluorescence staining were performed. FACS and Ficoll were performed for the separation of neutrophils from glioma tissue-derived single-cell or whole blood pool. To identify the isolated neutrophils, FACS and RT-PCR were carried out. Result: Neutrophil-like cells were abundant in high-grade glioma tissues. Among the three tissue dissociation methods, papain digestion produced a 5.1-fold and 1.7-fold more living cells from glioma mass than physical trituration and trypsin digestion, respectively, and it preserved over 97% of neutrophil surface protein markers. CD66B could be adopted as a unique neutrophil surface protein marker for FACS sorting in glioma. Glioma-derived CD66B+ cells specifically expressed neutrophil marker genes. Conclusion: A combination of papain-mediated tissue dissociation and CD66B-mediated FACS sorting is an effective novel method for the isolation of GANs from glioma tissues.

    Abstract: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a complex neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by social communication difficulties, repetitive behaviors, and parochial interests. Individuals with regressive ASD (RA), a unique subtype, have poor outcomes. Moreover, there are currently no validated blood-based biomarkers for ASD, hindering early diagnosis and treatment. This study was the first to examine plasma levels of total secreted amyloid precursor protein (sAPPtotal), secreted amyloid precursor protein-α (sAPPα), and secreted amyloid precursor protein-β (sAPPβ) in children diagnosed with RA ( n = 23) and compare them with the levels in age-matched children with non-regressive ASD (NRA) ( n = 23) and typically developing (TD) controls ( n = 23). We found that sAPPtotal and sAPPα levels were significantly higher in children with RA than in children with NRA or in TD controls. In contrast, no difference was observed in sAPPβ levels. In conclusion, increased plasma levels of sAPPtotal and sAPPα may be valuable biomarkers for the early identification of ASD regression. Prospective studies will be conducted using a larger sample to further investigate these differences.

    Abstract: Pyruvate kinase M2 ( PKM 2) regulates the final step of glycolysis levels that are correlated with the sensitivity of anticancer chemotherapeutic drugs. THP is one of the major drugs used in non‐muscle‐invasive bladder cancer instillation chemotherapy. However, low response ratio of THP (19.7%) treatment to human genitourinary tumours using collagen gel matrix has been observed. This study aims to investigate the effect of down‐regulation of PKM 2 on THP efficiency. Via inhibitor or si RNA , the effects of reduced PKM 2 on the efficiency of THP were determined in 2 human and 1 murine bladder cancer cell lines, using MTT , cologenic and fluorescence approaches. Molecular mechanisms of PKM 2 on THP sensitization were explored by probing p‐ AMPK and p‐ STAT 3 levels via WB . Syngeneic orthotopic bladder tumour model was applied to evaluate this efficiency in vivo, analysed by Kaplan‐Meier survival curves, body and bladder weights plus immunohistochemistric tumour biomarkers. PKM 2 was overexpressed in bladder cancer cells and tissues, and down‐regulation of PKM 2 enhanced the sensitivity of THP in vitro. Activation of AMPK is essential for THP to exert anti‐bladder cancer activities. On the other hand, down‐regulating PKM 2 activates AMPK and inhibits STAT 3, correlated with THP sensitivity. Compared with THP alone (400 μmol L −1 , 50 μL), the combination with metformin (60 mmol L −1 , 50 μL) stopped growth of bladder cancer completely in vivo (combination group VS normal group P = .078). Down‐regulating the expression of PKM 2 enhances the anticancer efficiency of THP . This study provides a new insight for improving the chemotherapeutic effect of THP .

    Abstract: The efficacy of neutrophil elastase inhibitor sivelestat in the treatment of acute lung injury (ALI) and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) remains controversial. A systematic review and meta-analysis were performed in accordance with the PRISMA guidelines assess the effect of sivelestat on ALI/ARDS patients, different studies were included. Methods Electronic databases, National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wan fang data, VIP, PubMed, Embase, Springer, Ovid and the Cochrane Library were searched using the following key words: (“Sivelestat” OR “Elaspol”) AND (“ARDS” OR “adult respiratory distress syndrome” OR “acute lung injury”). All databases published from January 2000 to August 2022. The treatment group was treated with sivelestat and the control group was given normal saline. The outcome measurements include the mortality of 28–30 days, mechanical ventilation time, ventilation free days, intensive care unit (ICU) stays, oxygenation index (PaO 2 /FiO 2 ) on day 3, the incidence of adverse events. The literature search was conducted independently by 2 researchers using standardized methods. We used the Cochrane risk-of-bias tool to assess the quality of the included studies. Mean difference (MD), Standardized mean difference (SMD) and relative risk (RR) were calculated using random effects model or fixed effects model. All statistical analyses were performed using RevMan software 5.4. Results A total of 2050 patients were enrolled in 15 studies, including 1069 patients in treatment group and 981 patients in the control group. The results of the meta-analysis showed that: compared with the control group, sivelestat can reduce the mortality of 28–30 days (RR = 0.81, 95% CI = 0.66–0.98, p  = 0.03) and the incidence of adverse events (RR = 0.91, 95% CI = 0.85–0.98, p  = 0.01), shortened mechanical ventilation time (SMD = − 0.32, 95% CI = − 0.60 to − 0.04, p  = 0.02) and ICU stays (SMD = − 0.72, 95% CI = − 0.92 to − 0.52, p   〈  0.00001), increased the ventilation free days (MD = 3.57, 95% CI = 3.42–3.73, p  〈   0.00001) and improve oxygenation index (PaO 2 /FiO 2 ) on day 3 (SMD = 0.88, 95% CI = 0.39–1.36, p  = 0.0004). Conclusions Sivelestat can not only reduce the mortality of ALI/ARDS patients within 28–30 days and the incidence of adverse events, shorten the mechanical ventilation time and ICU stays, increase ventilation free days, but also improve the oxygenation index of patients on days 3, which has a good effect on the treatment of ALI/ARDS. These findings need to be verified in large-scale trials.

    Abstract: Patients with glaucoma may experience many symptoms such as blindness, which seriously affect their quality of life (QoL). Resilience is playing a vital role in enhancing the QoL and well-being of patients with chronic diseases. In addition, sleep disturbance is common in patients with glaucoma, leading to a decline in their QoL. However, there is a dearth of research on whether sleep disturbance plays a mediating role between resilience and QoL among glaucoma patients. Objective The aim of this study is to explore the role of sleep disturbance in the relationship between resilience and QoL among glaucoma patients. Methods From July to December 2019, a cross-sectional survey was conducted on 215 glaucoma patients in an ophthalmic hospital in Liaoning Province. Hierarchical multiple regression (HMR) analyses and structural equation modeling (SEM) were conducted to examine the factors related to QoL and to test the hypothesis that sleep disturbance mediates the relationship between resilience and QoL among glaucoma patients. Results The average QoL score among glaucoma patients was 43.85 ± 14.97 as reported by the Glaucoma Quality of Life-15 (GQL-15) scale, where a higher scores indicating a poorer QoL. Resilience was found to be linked with a lower QoL score ( P & lt; 0.01), while sleep disturbance was associated with a higher QoL score ( P & lt; 0.01). When sleep disturbance was included in the model as partial mediator, the path coefficients for the association between resilience and QoL score was significantly decreased (a*b = −0.1, BCa95% CI: −0.154∼−0.045). Conclusion Findings of this study reflected that QoL among glaucoma patients in China was poor. Resilience was found to be an important positive factor, which could result in the improvement of QoL. Furthermore, sleep disturbance mediated the relationship between resilience and QoL among patients with glaucoma, thereby reducing the positive impact of resilience on QoL in glaucoma patients. Efforts to improve QoL among glaucoma patients may benefit from interventions that enhance the levels of resilience and promote healthy sleep.

    Abstract: Coronavirus Disease-19 (COVID-19), a rising global pandemic, has triggered psychological crises among the public. Panic, a severe symptom of mental disorders, is increasing in the public in China and it is urgent to provide research for intervention development. Objectives This study aimed to assess the prevalence of public panic in China during the earliest stage of the COVID-19 pandemic and to explore the associated psychological behavioral responses and public's risk perception of the pandemic. Methods A cross-sectional study using a web-based survey with convenience sampling was conducted with 2,484 participants nationally from February 11 to February 24, 2020 in China. A self-developed questionnaire was applied to assess the prevalence of public panic and its associated factors. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was applied to assess the risk and protective factors of public panic. Results There were 23.39% (581/2,484) of the participants who reported experiencing panic during the earliest stage of the COVID-19 pandemic. Taking temperature repeatedly, being nervous in a crowd, being suspicious of infection in the family, being worried about the future, and worries about high infectivity of the COVID-19, lack of effective therapies, and wide impact of the COVID-19 pandemic increased the odds of public panic. Whereas, avoiding gatherings during holidays was negatively associated with the odds of public panic. Conclusions Psycho-behavioral responses were closely associated with public panic during the earliest stage of the COVID-19 pandemic in China. Defusing excessive health-related worries, the guidance of appropriate self-protective behaviors, strengthening of health education in communities, and available treatment for mental disorders should be adopted to monitor the psychological responses and to guide the behaviors of the public.
