    Abstract Although the development of novel drugs has significantly improved the survival of patients with multiple myeloma (MM) over the past decades,the lack of effective therapeutic options for relapsed and refractory MM results in poor prognosis.The chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy has achieved considerable progress in relapsed and refractory MM.Nevertheless,this therapy still has limitations such as cytokine release syndrome,neurotoxicity,and off-target effects.Natural killer (NK) cells,as a critical component of the innate immune system,play an essential role in tumor immunosurveillance.Therefore,CAR-modified NK (CAR-NK) cells are put forward as a therapeutic option for MM.The available studies have suggested that multiple targets can be used as specific therapeutic targets for CAR-NK cell therapy and confirmed their antitumor effects in MM cell lines and animal models.This review summarizes the anti-tumor mechanisms,biological characteristics,and dysfunction of NK cells in the MM tumor microenvironment,as well as the basic and clinical research progress of CAR-NK cells in treating MM.

    Abstract Multiple myeloma is an incurable malignant disease characterized by proliferation of clonal plasma cells in the bone marrow.About 90% of the patients with multiple myeloma develop myeloma bone disease(MBD),which seriously affects the quality of life and prognosis of the patients.Traditional therapies for MBD include bisphosphonates,radiotherapy,and surgery.The recent studies have confirmed that the receptor activator of nuclear factor κB ligand (RANKL)-receptor activator of nuclear factor κB(RANK) signaling pathway plays a key role in MBD,providing a new therapeutic target for MBD.This review summarized the role of RANKL-RANK signaling pathway in the pathogenesis of MBD and the advance in the targeted therapy.

    Abstract The dinoflagellate genus Alexandrium comprises most of the toxic bloom-forming species producing paralytic shellfish toxins (PSTs) in the sea. Recently, repeated paralytic shellfish poisoning episodes have been recorded in Qinhuangdao located at the west coast of the Bohai Sea. To elucidate the relationship between toxic Alexandrium blooms and the poisoning episodes, a year-round investigation was carried out in this region from July 2020 to July 2021. Two qPCR assays were used to detect A. catenella and A. pacificum, and LC-MS/MS was applied to analyze PSTs in phytoplankton and shellfish samples. The blooms of A. catenella and A. pacificum were found in April and July, respectively, and PST content in three bivalves exhibited notable increase following the bloom of A. catenella. The results revealed bloom dynamics of the two toxic Alexandrium species in the Bohai Sea for the first time, and further confirmed A. catenella as the causative agent of poisoning episodes.

    Abstract Background: Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) and angiotensin II receptor type 1 blockers (ARBs) are often prescribed for renal transplant recipients (RTRs), but the outcomes of these medications in RTRs remain controversial.
    Methods: The PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases were systematically searched. Randomized controlled trials investigating the outcomes of ACEI/ARBs in RTRs were included for meta-analysis.
    Results: Twenty-two trials with 2242 patients were identified. After treatment for at least 12 months, ACEI/ARBs were associated with a decline in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) (weighed mean differences [WMD] -5.76 mL/min; 95% confidence intervals [CI]: -9.31 to -2.20) and a decrease in hemoglobin (WMD -9.81 g/L; 95% CI: -14.98 to -4.64). There were no significant differences in mortality between ACEI/ARB and non-ACEI/ARB groups (risk ratio [RR] 0.98, 95% CI: 0.58 to 1.76), nor in graft failure (RR 0.68, 95% CI: 0.38 to 1.32). After short-term treatment (less than 1 year), significant differences were found in changes of 24-hour proteinuria (WMD-0.57 g/d; 95% CI: -0.72 to -0.42) and serum potassium (WMD 0.25 mEq/L; 95% CI: 0.14 to 0.37) in ACEI/ARB groups compared to control arm, while these differences were not confirmed in the long run.
    Conclusion: This meta-analysis indicates ACEI/ARBs may be prescribed to RTRs with GFR and hemoglobin being carefully monitored.

    Abstract An outbreak of paralytic shellfish poisoning, recorded in April 2016 in Qinhuangdao China, was suspected to be caused by a toxic species in genus Alexandrium. Shortly after the poisoning outbreak, shellfish and net-concentrated phytoplankton samples were collected from the Bohai Sea, and analysed using high performance liquid chromatography coupled with fluorescence detection. Paralytic shellfish toxins (PSTs) were detected in both phytoplankton and shellfish samples, with similar toxin profiles dominated by carbamate toxins. High throughput sequencing data for phytoplankton samples collected previously in the coastal waters of Qinhuangdao were then analysed, and 8 operational taxonomic units (OTUs) were assigned to Alexandrium affine, A. andersonii/A. ostenfeldii, A. catenella, A. fraterculus, A. hiranoi/A. pseudogonyaulax, A. margalefii, A. pacificum and A. pohangense, among which A. catenella, A. pacificum and A. ostenfeldii could be potential producers of PSTs. During a cruise in 2019, three isolates of Alexandrium were established by cyst germination, and identified as A. catenella based on the sequences of the 28S ribosomal RNA gene (28S rDNA) D1-D2 region. Interestingly, all the three strains had the same toxin profile consisting of gonyautoxins 1, 3, 4 (GTX1, 3, 4) and neosaxitoxin (NEO). The toxin profile is similar to those of phytoplankton samples collected previously in the coastal waters of Qinhuangdao, but remarkably different from the general toxin profile of A. catenella dominated by N-sulfocarbamoyl toxins C1-2 in the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea. The results suggest that A. catenella is most likely to be the causative species of the poisoning outbreak in Qinhuangdao. As far as we know, this is the first report of A. catenella in the Bohai Sea producing PSTs dominated by high potent gonyautoxins GTX1-4. Occurrence of the highly toxic A. catenella will increase the risk of paralytic shellfish poisoning, which necessitates in-depth mechanism studies and increasing monitoring efforts.

    Abstract Background: Castleman disease (CD) is a group of rare and heterogenous lymphoproliferative disorders including unicentric CD (UCD), human herpesvirus-8(HHV-8)-associated multicentric CD (HHV8-MCD), and HHV-8-negative/idiopathic multicentric CD (iMCD). Knowledge of CD mainly comes from case series or retrospective studies, but the inclusion criteria of these studies vary because the Castleman Disease Collaborative Network (CDCN) diagnostic criteria for iMCD and UCD were not available until 2017 and 2020, respectively. Further, these criteria and guidelines have not been systematically evaluated.
    Methods: In this national, multicenter, retrospective study implementing CDCN criteria, we enrolled 1634 CD patients (UCD, n = 903; MCD, n = 731) from 2000 to 2021 at 40 Chinese institutions to depict clinical features, treatment options, and prognostic factors of CD.
    Findings: Among UCD, there were 162 (17.9%) patients with an MCD-like inflammatory state. Among MCD, there were 12 HHV8-MCD patients and 719 HHV-8-negative MCD patients, which included 139 asymptomatic MCD (aMCD) and 580 iMCD meeting clinical criteria. Of 580 iMCD patients, 41 (7.1%) met iMCD-TAFRO criteria, the others were iMCD-NOS. iMCD-NOS were further divided into iMCD-IPL (n = 97) and iMCD-NOS without IPL (n = 442). Among iMCD patients with first-line treatment data, a trend from pulse combination chemotherapy toward continuous treatment was observed. Survival analysis revealed significant differences between subtypes and severe iMCD (HR = 3.747; 95% CI: 2.112-6.649,
    Interpretation: This study depicts a broad picture of CD, treatment options and survival information in China and validates the association between the CDCN's definition of severe iMCD and worse outcomes, requiring more intensive treatment.
