    Abstract Stimulator of interferon genes (STING) is a crucial adaptor protein in the innate immune response. STING activation triggers cytokine secretion, including type I interferon and initiates T cell-mediated adaptive immunity. The activated immune system converts "cold tumors" into "hot tumors" that are highly responsive to T cells by recruiting them to the tumor microenvironment, ultimately leading to potent and long-lasting antitumor effects. Unlike most immune checkpoint inhibitors, STING agonists represent a groundbreaking class of innate immune agonists that hold great potential for effectively targeting various cancer populations and are poised to become a blockbuster in tumor immunotherapy. This review will focus on the correlation between the STING signaling pathway and tumor immunity, as well as explore the impact of STING activation on other biological processes. Ultimately, we will summarize the development and optimization of STING agonists from a medicinal chemistry perspective, evaluate their potential in cancer therapy, and identify possible challenges for future advancement.

    Abstract This study aimed to examine the expression and biological functions of ACTL6A in glioma cells (U251), the effects of sulforaphane on the growth of U251 cells and the involvement of the ACTL6A/PGK1 pathway in those effects. The U251 cell line was transfected with ACTL6A over-expression plasmids to upregulate the protein, or with ACTL6A inhibitor to underexpress it, then treated with different concentrations of sulforaphane. Cell viability, proliferation, and apoptosis were assessed using standard assays, and levels of mRNAs encoding ACTL6A, PGK1, cyclin D1, Myc, Bax or Bcl-2 were measured using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). ACTL6A and PGK1 were expressed at higher levels in glioma cell lines than in normal HEB cells. ACTL6A overexpression upregulated PGK1, whereas ACTL6A inhibition had the opposite effect. ACTL6A overexpression induced proliferation, whereas its inhibition repressed proliferation, enhanced apoptosis, and halted the cell cycle. Moreover, sulforaphane suppressed the growth of U251 cells by inactivating the ACTL6A/PGK1 axis. ACTL6A acts

    Abstract Enamel thickness and distribution provide dietary insights in hominoids. Yet, three-dimensional (3D) enamel analysis of the Late Miocene Lufengpithecus from southwest China is lacking. We digitally reconstructed 68 unworn or lightly worn Lufengpithecus (L.) lufengensis molars using micro-computed tomography (micro-CT). Comparisons with modern humans, Homo erectus, extant/fossil Pongo, Pan, and Gorilla reveal L. lufengensis has "intermediate/thick" enamel, thicker than Pongo and Gorilla, but thinner than modern humans and H. erectus. In enamel distribution, relatively thicker enamel lies on the lingual cusps of the maxillary molars. The hypoconid, hypoconulid, and entoconid exhibit relatively thicker enamel compared to the metaconid and protoconid of the mandibular molars. L. lufengensis also exhibits an uneven pattern on the lingual and buccal walls. With relatively intermediate/thick enamel and distinctive distribution pattern, L. lufengensis may be able to respond to dietary variation in seasonal habitats.

    Abstract Multiple myeloma (MM) is a kind of hematologic malignancy occurring in plasma cells. Cytogenetic technique plays an important role in risk stratification of MM. 1q21 amplification is one of the common chromosomal abnormalities in MM. Studies have shown that 1q21 amplification is associated with poor prognosis in MM patients. At present, with the development of new drugs, cellular immunotherapy, and improvement of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation technology, the remission depth and survival time of MM significantly increased. Rapid and accurate identification of high-risk patients and individualized treatment according to the patient's condition is the key to improve the therapeutic effect of MM. This article reviews the mechanism of 1q21 amplification in MM and the efficacy of new drugs in the treatment of MM with 1q21 chromosome amplification.

    Abstract Background: Placenta previa accreta is a life-threatening pregnancy complication, and reducing blood loss during operative treatment remains a major challenge. The aim of our study was to investigate the effect of prophylactic abdominal aortic balloon occlusion (AABO) during caesarean section in women with placenta previa accreta.
    Methods: A retrospective study of women with placenta previa accreta was conducted in a tertiary hospital from January 1, 2015, to December 31, 2020. Women were divided into balloon and control groups by whether AABO was performed. Baseline characteristics and pregnancy outcomes were compared in the two groups. A propensity score analysis was applied to minimise the indication bias. The primary outcome was composite, including estimated blood loss (EBL) ≥ 2.0 L, massive transfusion and hysterectomy.
    Results: A total of 156 patients participated in this study, with 68 in the balloon group and 88 in the control group. Propensity score analysis showed that women in the balloon group had less EBL (1590.36 ± 1567.57 vs. 2830.36 ± 2285.58 mL, P = 0.02) as well as a lower proportion of EBL ≥ 1.0 L (50.00% vs. 78.57%, P = 0.03), EBL ≥ 2.0 L (21.43% vs. 50.00%, P = 0.03) and EBL ≥ 3.0 L (14.29% vs. 42.86%, P = 0.04). In addition, women in the control group received more red blood cell transfusions (8.43 U ± 9.96 vs. 3.43 U ± 6.27, P = 0.03), and the proportion of massive transfusions was higher (35.71% vs. 7.14%, P = 0.02). The proportions of disseminated intravascular coagulation (0% vs. 28.57%, P < 0.01), haemorrhagic shock (3.57% vs. 32.14%, P = 0.02) and hysterectomy (10.71% vs. 39.29%, P = 0.03) were significantly lower in the balloon group. Sutures were performed more often in the balloon group (64.29% vs. 17.86%, P < 0.01). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that AABO was associated with the primary outcome (adjusted odds ratio 0.46, 95% confidence interval 0.23 ~ 0.96, P = 0.04). No serious balloon catheter-related complications occurred in the balloon group.
    Conclusion: AABO was an effective and safe approach to improve maternal outcomes for patients with placenta previa accreta.

    Abstract Aim: To investigate the clinical risk factors of intrapartum fever and explore the relationship between fever duration and neonatal morbidity of different fever peak.
    Methods: A case-control study was conducted, and 714 pregnant women were divided into fever and nonfever group. Multivariable logistic regression model was estimated to evaluate the risk factors for maternal intrapartum fever. Receiver operating characteristic curve was adopted to explore the relationship between fever duration and fetal distress of different fever peak to find the cut-off point, then the neonatal outcomes of women with fever ≥38°C in two groups of different fever duration were compared.
    Results: Epidural analgesia (odds ratio [OR]: 6.89, p < 0.001), longer time of membrane rupture (OR: 1.06, p < 0.001) and longer time of first stage of labor (OR: 1.04, p = 0.03) were considered as independent risk factors for maternal fever. For women with temperature <38°C, fever duration was not associated with fetal distress, whereas the women with temperature ≥38°C, fever duration longer than 93.5 min was a good predictor of fetal distress (Area under curve (AUC) = 0.82, p < 0.05). Further analysis showed that infants of women with fever peak ≥38°C and fever duration longer than 90 min had a higher rate of 1 min Apgar score <7 (15.5% vs. 2.2%, p = 0.03), assisted ventilation (29.6% vs. 11.1%, p = 0.02), and admission to neonatal ward (87.3% vs. 60.0%, p = 0.001).
    Conclusions: Epidural analgesia, longer time of membrane rupture, and longer time of first stage of labor were considered as independent risk factors for maternal intrapartum fever. For women with fever ≥38°C, controlling fever time less than 90 min might be helpful to reduce neonatal morbidity.
