    Abstract Background: Influenza and COVID-19 patients share similar features and outcomes amongst adults. However, the difference between these diseases is not explored in paediatric age group especially in terms of inflammatory markers, coagulation profile and outcomes. Hence, we did this review to compare the inflammatory, coagulation features and outcomes between influenza and COVID-19 infected children.
    Methods: Literature search was done in PubMed Central, Scopus, EMBASE, CINAHL, Cochrane library, Google Scholar & ScienceDirect from November 2019 to May 2022. Risk of bias assessment was done through Newcastle Ottawa scale. Meta-analysis was done using random-effects model and the final pooled estimate was reported as pooled odds ratio (OR) or standardized mean difference (SMD) along with 95 % confidence interval (CI) depending on the type of outcome.
    Results: About 16 studies were included with most studies having higher risk of bias. Influenza paediatric patients had significantly higher erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) (pooled SMD = 0.60; 95%CI: 0.30-0.91; I
    Conclusion: Inflammatory markers like ESR, LDH and PT was significantly higher in influenza patients when compared to COVID-19 in children, while rest of the markers and adverse clinical outcomes were similar between both the groups. Identification of these biomarkers has helped in understanding the distinctness of COVID-19 and influenza virus and develop better management strategies.

    Abstract Objective To explore the effect of paclitaxel with carboplatin combined chemotherapy on hemocyte related indexes,vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and tumor markers in ovarian cancer (OC) patients. Methods OC patients combined chemotherapy (CC) group and ovarian benign tumor control group with 50 cases in each. The pathological changes in the ovarian cells were observed by HE staining and the expression of VEGF was observed by immunohistochemical staining (IHC).Blood cell was counted by flow cytometry (FC). Serum carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125) and human epididymal protein 4 (HE4) were measured by electrochemical luminescence (ECL). Results Compared with control group, the ovarian tissue structure was disordered and the cell atypia was obvious in OC.VEGF expression was significantly enhanced. Platelet count (PLT), CA125 and HE4 were significantly increased (P<0.01). However,necrotic cells were observed in ovarian tissue of CC group.VEGF expression was inhibited.PLT count and the level of CA125 and HE4 were significantly lower than those of control group after chemotherapy(P<0.01). Conclusions Combined chemotherapy may regulate the level of VEGF, CA125 and HE4 in OC patients.

    Abstract Objectives: Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRHa) is the first choice for the treatment of patients with central precocious puberty (CPP). However, the effects of GnRHa on the endocrine system of CPP patients, including insulin sensitivity, lipid level, thyroid function, bone mineral density (BMD), and testosterone (T) level, are currently contradictory. Therefore, the long-term safety of GnRHa therapy remains controversial.
    Content: A systematic literature search was performed using PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and CNKI databases. The changes in HOMA-IR, TG, LDL-C, HDL-C, TSH, FT3, FT4, T, and BMD in CPP patients before and after GnRHa treatment were compared by meta-analysis. As the heterogeneity between studies, we estimated standard deviation mean differences (SMDs) and 95 % confidence intervals (CIs) using a random-effects model. Egger's test was used to assess publication bias.
    Summary: A total of 22 studies were included in our meta-analysis. Compared with before GnRHa treatment, there were no statistically significant differences in endocrine indicators including HOMA-IR, TG, LDL-C, HDL-C, TSH, FT4, FT3, T, and BMD of CPP patients treated with GnRHa.
    Outlook: Treatment with GnRHa for central precocious puberty will not increase the adverse effect on the endocrine system.

    Abstract Objective: This study aims to investigate the relationship between folic acid (FA) metabolic gene polymorphisms, homocysteine (Hcy), vitamin B12 (Vit B12), and red blood cell folate (RBCF) with adverse pregnancy. The findings of this study can help in the prevention and treatment of adverse pregnancy in the future.
    Methods: 118 pregnant women admitted to Qingdao Central Hospital between August 2020 and October 2022 were selected for retrospective analysis, including 62 cases of normal delivery (control group, CG) and 56 cases of adverse pregnancy (research group, RG). The single nucleotide polymorphisms of MTHFR C677T, MTHFR A1298C, and MTRR A66G gene loci were tested in both cohorts. Besides, differences in Hcy, Vit B12, and RBCF levels were observed, as well as Hcy, Vit B12, and RBCF alterations in different genotype carriers in the research group.
    Results: An elevated proportion of MTHFR 677TT-type gene and MTRR 66GG-type gene carriers and a lower proportion of MTRR 66GG-type gene carriers were found in the research group (χ2 = 4.458, 4.238, 4.206, P = .035, .040, .040). As indicated by the Logistic regression analysis, carriers of MTHFR 677TT and MTRR 66GG gene had an increased risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes (95%CI=2.881-5.942, 1.427-3.809, P < .001), while MTRR 66AG carriers had a decreased risk (95%CI=0.124-1.849, P < .001). Finally, Hcy levels of MTHFR 677TT and MTRR 66GG gene carriers increased, while Vit B12 and RBCF decreased; the opposite was true for MTRR 66AG gene carriers (P < .001).
    Conclusions: FA metabolic gene polymorphisms, Hcy, Vit B12, and RBCF are closely related to adverse pregnancy outcomes, which is of great significance for future clinical evaluation of adverse pregnancy.

    Abstract Conditionally activated ("caged") oligonucleotides provide useful spatiotemporal control for studying dynamic biological processes, e.g., regulating in vivo gene expression or probing specific oligonucleotide targets. This review summarizes recent advances in caging strategies, which involve different stimuli in the activation step. Oligo cyclization is a particularly attractive caging strategy, which simplifies the probe design and affords oligo stabilization. Our laboratory developed an efficient synthesis for circular caged oligos, and a circular caged antisense DNA oligo was successfully applied in gene regulation. A second technology is Transcriptome In Vivo Analysis (TIVA), where caged oligos enable mRNA isolation from single cells in living tissue. We highlight our development of TIVA probes with improved caging stability. Finally, we illustrate the first protease-activated oligo probe, which was designed for caspase-3. This expands the toolkit for investigating the transcriptome under a specific physiologic condition (e.g., apoptosis), particularly in specimens where light activation is impractical.

    Abstract Background: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) combined with chemotherapy have been recommended as the standard treatment for advanced NSCLC patients without driver-gene mutations. However, there are different genetic characteristics and biological traits of tumors between non-East Asian (nEA) and East Asian (EA) patients with NSCLC, which may contribute to differences in the efficacy of ICIs in different ethnic populations. Previous findings regarding differences in the efficacy of ICIs among ethnic groups have been inconsistent. Therefore, we performed a meta-analysis by collecting published data to investigate the clinical outcomes of ICIs for EA NSCLC patients compared to nEA patients.
    Methods: Overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were used to access the difference in survival outcomes between the two populations. Subgroup analyses were performed based on the line of ICIs, the use of ICIs alone or in combination, and the type of ICIs.
    Results: A total of 9826 NSCLC patients from 21 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) with 4064 EAs were included, which involved PD-1, PD-L1, and CTLA-4 inhibitors. EA NSCLC patients who received ICIs-based therapy were associated with significantly improved survival benefits in OS (p = 0.02) compared with nEA patients. Subgroup analysis indicated that EA patients receiving first-line ICIs showed significantly superior OS compared with nEA patients (p = 0.007). Chemo-ICIs treatment showed significant advantages in terms of OS (p = 0.002) and PFS (p = 0.02) among EA patients compared to nEA patients. In addition, PD-1 inhibitors were associated with improved OS among both EA patients and nEA patients compared with PD-L1 inhibitors.
    Conclusion: EA NSCLC patients who received ICIs-based therapy were associated with significantly improved survival benefits compared with nEA NSCLC patients. Earlier intervention with ICIs and combination treatment was more recommended for EA NSCLC patients. Moreover, PD-1 inhibitors are associated with prolonged survival among both EA and nEA patients.

    Abstract Background: Platinum-etoposide chemotherapy combined with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) has been recommended as the first-line standard treatment for extensive-stage small-cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC). However, the effect of thoracic radiotherapy (TRT) on these patients is still unknown. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of TRT for ES-SCLC patients who responded to first-line ICIs and chemotherapy (CHT).
    Methods: Patients who received 4 to 6 cycles of ICIs and CHT as first-line therapy at three hospitals between 2018 and 2022 were included in the analysis. All patients were divided into two groups based on whether they received TRT as first-line treatment, and propensity score matching (PSM) was performed to ensure that the characteristics of two groups were well-balanced. The primary endpoints were overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS), and the secondary endpoint was toxic effects.
    Results: A total of 276 patients were included, and the median follow-up time was 22.3 (range, 4.0-53.73) months. After PSM, 197 patients were further analysed, and 99 of whom received TRT. The baseline characteristics were well-balanced between patients in the TRT and non-TRT groups. There were significant differences in PFS between the TRT and non-TRT groups, with the median PFS of 10.76 and 7.63 months, respectively (P = 0.014). Significantly improved OS was observed in the TRT group (21.67 vs. 16.6 months, P = 0.009). In addition, the use of TRT was an independent prognostic factor for PFS and OS of ES-SCLC patients receiving ICIs plus CHT. In terms of safety, no significant increase of any grades adverse event (AE) (P = 0.874) and G3-4 AE (P = 0.909) was observed for patients receiving TRT. Radiation esophagitis, gastrointestinal and hematologic toxicities were the most common AEs in TRT group, which were tolerable. And high-dose radiotherapy was associated with higher incidence of pneumonitis.
    Conclusion: Addition of TRT showed significant survival benefits and well tolerability in ES-SCLC patients receiving platinum-etoposide CHT and ICIs, which could be a feasible first-line treatment strategy for ES-SCLC patients.
