    Abstract Immune-related adverse reactions primarily involve the skin and the endocrine, digestive, and respiratory systems. In the endocrine system, these adverse effects mainly include hypophysitis, thyroiditis, hypoadrenalism, and rarely, diabetes mellitus. The most common symptoms in the skin are pruritus, rash, and infrequently, eruptive keratoacanthoma. Here, we report a case of a 67-year-old woman who developed eruptive keratoacanthoma of the skin 6 weeks after beginning treatment with a bispecific antibody (PM8001), targeting both programmed cell death receptor 1 and transforming growth factor β, as well as type I diabetes mellitus-induced ketoacidosis after 13 weeks. The type I diabetes appeared to stabilize after insulin treatment, and the keratoacanthoma gradually resolved after drug discontinuation. This case report describes a case of the effects of PM8001 immunotherapy on the endocrine glands and skin, together with a review of the relevant literature, and summarizes the different clinical characteristics of rare immune-related adverse events resulting from PM8001 immunotherapy to provide a reference for their early detection, diagnosis, and treatment.

    Abstract Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a frequent type of cancer, which is mainly characterized clinically by high aggressiveness and high mortality. KRAS oncoprotein is the most common molecular protein detected in NSCLC, accounting for 25% of all oncogenic mutations. Constitutive activation of the KRAS oncoprotein triggers an intracellular cascade in cancer cells, leading to uncontrolled cell proliferation of cancer cells and aberrant cell survival states. The results of multiple clinical trials have shown that different KRAS mutation subtypes exhibit different sensitivities to different chemotherapy regimens. Meanwhile, anti-angiogenic drugs have shown differential efficacy for different subtypes of KRAS mutated lung cancer. It was explored to find if the specificity of the KRAS mutation subtype would affect PD-L1 expression, so immunotherapy would be of potential clinical value for the treatment of some types of KRAS mutations. It was discovered that the specificity of the KRAS mutation affected PD-L1, which opened up immunotherapy as a potential clinical treatment option. After several breakthrough studies, the preliminary test data of many early clinical trials showed that it is possible to directly inhibit KRAS G12C mutation, which has been proved to be a targeted treatment that is suitable for about 10%-12% of patients with advanced NSCLC, having a significant impact on the prolongation of their survival and the improvement of their quality of life. This article reviews the latest progress of treatments for NSCLC with KRAS mutation, in order to gain insight into the biological diversity of lung cancer cells and their potential clinical implications, thereby enabling individualized treatment for patients with KRAS-mutant NSCLC.

    Abstract Background: Third-generation epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKI) show good selectivity for classical EGFR mutated and EGFR T790M mutated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, resistance inevitably occurs to third-generation EGFR-TKI. This study describes the real-world characteristics, efficacy, and safety of treating post-progression NSCLC with 160 mg of furmonertinib (in combination with or without anti-angiogenic agents and chemotherapy) with third-generation EGFR-TKIs.
    Methods: EGFR-mutated NSCLC patients with intracranial progression pattern cohort (IP cohort) or extracranial progression pattern cohort (EP cohort) were retrospectively analyzed following progression to third-generation EGFR-TKIs receiving furmonertinib 160 mg daily as second-line or later treatment in combination with or without anti-angiogenic agents and chemotherapy.
    Results: Thirty-nine patients were included and categorized into two groups according to the progression pattern. Then, 22 patients in the IP cohort and 17 patients in the EP cohort, most of whom were in poor physical condition, were included and 84.6% had central nervous system metastases. In the IP cohort, the median PFS was 5.5 months (95% CI 4.67-8.72), and the median OS was 9.8 months (95% CI 7.25-11.20) for single-agent furmonertinib or combination therapy. In the EP cohort, the median PFS was 3.2 months (95% CI 2.18-4.70), and the median OS was 6.7 months (95% CI 4.99-8.75). Univariate analysis showed the association between the presence of a prior T790M mutation and a history of combined radiotherapy with longer PFS with furmonertinib (p = 0.048, p = 0.004). Overall, adverse events (AEs) of any grade occurred in 84.6% of patients (33/39), with the majority having grade 2 or lower AEs.
    Conclusion: Furmonertinib 160 mg is an optional regimen for patients with advanced NSCLC who develop resistance after treatment with third-generation EGFR-TKIs, especially those developing resistance due to the progression of intracranial lesions, with good efficacy and an acceptable safety profile that warrants further exploration.

    Abstract Purified terephthalic acid (PTA) is used for producing a variety of polyesters. In the production of PTA, p-xylene (PX) is first transformed into terephthalic acid (TA) by oxidation process and then TA is refined. As a key step, the oxidation of PX to TA is a significant chemical process of PTA production. To improve qualified product yield with low energy consumption, in this paper, multi-objective optimization of various conflicting objectives (namely minimization of combustion loss, maximization of TA yield) is conducted using self-adaptive multi-objective differential evolution algorithm (SADE). The main characteristic of it is that DE's trial vector generation strategies and the corresponding control parameters are gradually self-adjusted adaptively based on the knowledge learnt from the previous searches in generating improved solutions. Furthermore, to handle constraints in multi-objective problems, the pseudo feasible concept is proposed to effectively utilize the critical information carried by some infeasible solutions. Optimization results of PX oxidation reaction process indicate that application of SADE can greatly improve the yield of TA with low combustion loss without degenerating TA quality. Furthermore, SADE can provide a set of Pareto optimal solutions and then suitable multi-criterion decision-making techniques can be employed to select one or a small set of the optimal solution(s) of design parameter(s) based on preference.

    Abstract Cross-linked polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)-polyetherimide (PEI) composite membranes were prepared, in which asymmetric microporous PEI membrane prepared with phase inversion method was acted as the microporous supporting layer in the flat-plate composite membrane. Membrane characterization was conducted by Fourier transform infrared and scanning electronic microscopy analysis. The composite membranes were employed in pervaporation separation of n-heptane-thiophene mixtures. Effect of amount of PDMS, cross-linking temperature, amount of cross-linking agent, and cross-linking time on the separation efficiency of n-heptane-thiophene mixtures was investigated experimentally. Experiment results demonstrated that 80-100 degrees degrees C of cross-linking temperature was more preferable for practical application, as the amount of cross-linking agent was up to 20 wt.%, and 25 wt.% of PDMS amount was more optimal as far as flux and sulfur enrichment factor were concerned. In addition, the swelling degree of and stableness of composite membrane during long-time operation were studied, which should be significant for practical application.
