    Abstract Immuno-oncology (IO) therapies have changed the cancer treatment landscape. Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have improved overall survival in 20-40% of patients with malignancies that were previously refractory. Due to the uniqueness in biology, modalities and patient responses, drug development strategies for IO differed from that traditionally used for cytotoxic and target therapies in oncology, and quantitative pharmacology utilizing modeling approach can be applied in all phases of the development process. In this review, we used case studies to showcase how various modeling methodologies were applied from translational science and dose selection through to label change, using examples that included anti-programmed-death-1 (anti-PD-1), anti-programmed-death ligand-1 (anti-PD-L1), anti-cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 (anti-CTLA-4), and anti-glucocorticoid-induced tumor necrosis factor receptor-related protein (anti-GITR) antibodies. How these approaches were utilized to support phase I-III dose selection, the design of phase III trials, and regulatory decisions on label change are discussed to illustrate development strategies. Model-based quantitative approaches have positively impacted IO drug development, and a better understanding of the biology and exposure-response relationship may benefit the development and optimization of new IO therapies.

    Abstract Objective: The aim of the study is to investigate the relationship between plaque parameters and pericoronary fat attenuation index (FAI).
    Methods: A retrospective collection was performed on 227 patients with coronary heart disease who underwent coronary computed tomography angiography examinations in our hospital from May 2021 to April 2023, with a total of 254 right coronary or left anterior descending coronary arteries exhibiting solitary plaques within the FAI measurement area. Based on whether the proximal coronary FAI value was ≥ -70.0 HU, patients and coronary arteries were divided into FAI-positive group (67 cases, 73 coronary arteries) and FAI-negative group (160 cases, 181 coronary arteries). Quantitative parameters of coronary solitary plaques were collected, including stenosis severity, plaque length, plaque volume, plaque composition ratios, minimal luminal area, and calcification score, as well as qualitative parameters such as plaque types and high-risk plaques. Differences in plaque parameters between the FAI-positive and FAI-negative groups were compared.
    Results: The proportion of positive remodeling in the FAI-positive group (73 coronary arteries) was higher than that in the FAI-negative group (181 coronary arteries) with statistical significance (89.0% vs 78.5%, P = 0.049). Multivariate analysis revealed that positive remodeling was a risk factor for abnormal FAI values in solitary plaques (odds ratio, 2.271, P = 0.049).
    Conclusions: The FAI-positive group had a higher proportion of positive remodeling, and positive remodeling was an independent risk factor for positive FAI values.

    Abstract Objective: To investigate the differences in the metabolic indicators and sex hormones between obese and non-obese patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and their impacts on endometrial receptivity (ER).
    Methods: We selected 255 individuals with PCOS, and categorized them into the obese groups, including the OP group (obese patients with PCOS) and the ON group (obese patients without PCOS), and selected 64 individuals who were categorized in the non-obese groups, namely, the control groups, which comprise the NP group (non-obese patients with PCOS) and the NN group(non-obese patients without PCOS). The one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Mann-Whitney U tests were used to compare the metabolic indicators, and sex hormone-associated and ER-associated indicators between the groups. The correlation between the aforementioned clinical markers and ER was analyzed using the Pearson's correlation coefficient.
    Results: (1) In comparison with the NP group, the OP group exhibited higher levels (
    Conclusion: (1) The OP group exhibited obvious metabolic disorders and poor ER, which was manifested as low levels of SHBG and HMWA, and high levels of FAI, HOMA-IR, WHR, uterine artery S/D, and RI. (2) In patients with PCOS, there was a substantial correlation between ER-associated indicators RI and uterine artery S/D and FAI, FINS, 120minINS, HOMA-IR, WHR, SHBG, and HMWA.

    Abstract Covalent adaptable networks (CANs) are reprocessable polymers whose structural arrangement is based on the recombination of dynamic covalent bonds. Composite materials prepared by incorporating magnetic particles into CANs attract much attention due to their remote and precise control, fast response speed, high biological safety and strong penetration of magnetic stimuli. These properties often involve magnetothermal effect and direct magnetic-field guidance. Besides, some of them can also respond to light, electricity or pH values. Thus, they are favorable for soft actuators since various functions are achieved such as magnetic-assisted self-healing (heating or at ambient temperature), welding (on land or under water), shape-morphing, and so on. Although magnetic CANs just start to be studied in recent two years, their advances are promised to expand the practical applications in both cutting-edge academic and engineering fields. This review aims to summarize recent progress in magnetic-responsive CANs, including their design, synthesis and application.

    Abstract Objective: To analyse the effect of chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) in the prenatal diagnosis of fetuses with abnormal ultrasonographic soft markers.
    Study design: Descriptive study. Place and Duration of the Study: Prenatal Diagnostic Centre, Huizhou Central People's Hospital, from January 2020 to January 2022.
    Methodology: A total of 160 pregnant women with abnormal soft markers in the fetuses on prenatal ultrasonography were selected. Amniotic fluid in the second trimester of pregnancy was extracted for CMA. In addition, karyotype analysis of chromosomal G-banding was carried out to analyse the effect of CMA in prenatal diagnosis.
    Results: The detection rate of copy number variants (CNVs) by CMA was higher than that by karyotype analysis, which was not statistically significant (p=0.059). Compared with karyotype detection, CMA detected five additional cases of pathogenic CNVs, all of which were cases of microdeletion and microduplication. VOUS cases detected by CMA were mostly concentrated in NT thickening, among which cases of uncertain significance were the most.
    Conclusion: The application of CMA in the prenatal diagnosis of fetuses with abnormal ultrasonographic soft markers can improve the detection rate of pathogenicity. As a prenatal diagnostic method, CMA has high application value and is worthy of clinical promotion.
    Key words: Chromosomal microarray analysis, Abnormal ultrasonographic soft markers, Prenatal diagnosis, Diagnostic efficiency.

    Abstract Background: Student engagement can predict successful learning outcomes and academic development. The expansion of simulation-based medical and healthcare education creates challenges for educators, as they must help students engage in a simulation-based learning environment. This research provides a reference for facilitators of simulation teaching and student learning in medical and health-related majors by providing a deep understanding of student engagement in a simulation-based learning environment.
    Methods: We conducted semi-structured interviews with ten medical and healthcare students to explore their learning types and characteristics in a simulation-based learning environment. Thematic analysis was used to analyse the data.
    Results: The interviews were thematically analysed to identify three types of student engagement in the simulation-based learning environment: reflective engagement, performance engagement, and interactive engagement. The analysis also identified eight sub-themes: active, persistent, and focused thinking engagement; self-directed-learning thinking engagement with the purpose of problem solving; active "voice" in class; strong emotional experience and disclosure; demonstration of professional leadership; interaction with realistic learning situations; support from teammates; and collegial facilitator-student interaction.
    Conclusions: The student interview and thematic analysis methods can be used to study the richness of student engagement in simulation-based learning environments. This study finds that student engagement in a simulation-based learning environment is different from that in a traditional environment, as it places greater emphasis on performance engagement, which combines both thinking and physical engagement, as well as on interactive engagement as generated through interpersonal interactions. Therefore, we suggest expanding the learning space centring around "inquiry", as it can help strengthen reflective communication and dialogue. It also facilitates imagination, stimulates empathy, and builds an interprofessional learning community. In this way, medical and healthcare students can learn through the two-way transmission of information and cultivate and reshape interpersonal relationships to improve engagement in a simulation-based learning environment.

    Abstract The standardization, objectification, and essence research of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome influence the modernization and international development of TCM syndrome. A total of 253 relevant publications collected from the Web of Science Core Collection database from 2006 to 2020 were analyzed by bibliometric and content methods. The co-occurrence analysis of countries, institutions, journals, authors, and keywords analysis were carried out by using Citespace software. The high-yield institutions and high-impact authors contributed to TCM syndrome publications were concentrated in China. Since 2012, driven by some groundbreaking publications, the number of TCM syndrome literatures has increased rapidly. According to the results of bibliometric and content analysis, research hotspots in TCM syndrome in the last 15 years can be summarized in six aspects: (a) objectification research of four TCM diagnostic methods, (b) omics technology for the essence research of TCM syndrome, (c) research on TCM syndrome evaluation scale, (d) metagenomic technology for the essence research of TCM syndrome, (e) data mining technology for TCM syndrome differentiation, and (f) systematic research on TCM syndromes of chronic hepatitis B. Emerging trends can be identified according to the most recent keywords bursts: (a) TCM syndrome diagnostic models with multiple indexes should be constructed to develop personalized medicine. (b) The connotation of TCM syndrome should be verified through "syndrome detecting from recipe used," and the screened potential markers of TCM syndrome need clinical verification. (c) The intervention and integration of multi-disciplines is expected to find a new breakthrough in the research of TCM syndrome.
