    Abstract Objective: Reliably prediction models for coronary artery abnormalities (CAA) in children aged >5 years with Kawasaki disease (KD) are still lacking. This study aimed to develop a nomogram model for predicting CAA at 4 to 8 weeks of illness in children with KD older than 5 years.
    Methods: A total of 644 eligible children were randomly assigned to a training cohort (n = 450) and a validation cohort (n = 194). The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) analysis was used for optimal predictors selection, and multivariate logistic regression was used to develop a nomogram model based on the selected predictors. Area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), calibration curves, Hosmer-Lemeshow test, Brier score, and decision curve analysis (DCA) were used to assess model performance.
    Results: Neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio, intravenous immunoglobulin resistance, and maximum baseline z-score ≥ 2.5 were identified by LASSO as significant predictors. The model incorporating these variables showed good discrimination and calibration capacities in both training and validation cohorts. The AUC of the training cohort and validation cohort were 0.854 and 0.850, respectively. The DCA confirmed the clinical usefulness of the nomogram model.
    Conclusions: A novel nomogram model was established to accurately assess the risk of CAA at 4-8 weeks of onset among KD children older than 5 years, which may aid clinical decision-making.

    Abstract Objective: To evaluate targeted killing of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells by a recombinant oncolytic influenza virus expressing a PD-L1 antibody (rgFlu/PD-L1) and to develop a novel immunotherapy for HCC.
    Methods: Using influenza virus reverse genetics, a recombinant oncolytic virus was generated in the background of the A/Puerto Rico/8/34 (PR8) virus, then identified via screening and passage in specific pathogen-free chicken embryos. Hepatocellular carcinoma cell killing by rgFlu/PD-L1 was confirmed in vitro and in vivo. Transcriptome analyses were used to explore PD-L1 expression and function. Western blotting revealed that PD-L1 activated the cGas-STING pathway.
    Results: rgFlu/PD-L1 expressed the PD-L1 heavy and light chain in PB1 and PA, respectively; PR8 served as the backbone. The hemagglutinin titer of rgFlu/PD-L1 was 2
    Conclusion: rgFlu/PD-L1 activated the cGas-STING pathway in CD8

    Abstract Background: Kawasaki disease (KD) is an acute systemic vasculitis of unknown etiology that predominantly affects children, and no specific diagnostic biomarkers for KD are available. Platelet-derived growth factor CC (PDGF-CC) is a peptide with angiogenic properties that has been amply demonstrated to play a critical role in the cardiovascular system. This study aimed to investigate the serum expression of PDGF-CC in children with KD and to evaluate the ability of PDGF-CC to diagnose KD.
    Methods: A total of 96 subjects, including 59 KD patients, 17 febrile controls (FC), and 20 healthy controls (HC), were enrolled. Serum levels of PDGF-CC were measured via enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The associations between PDGF-CC and clinical laboratory parameters were investigated by correlation analysis. The diagnostic performance was assessed by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis.
    Results: Serum PDGF-CC levels in the KD group were significantly higher than in the FC and HC groups. Serum PDGF-CC levels in the KD group were positively correlated with white blood cell counts, percentage of neutrophils, IL-2, IL-12p70, TNF-α, and IL-1β levels, and negatively correlated with the percentage of lymphocytes. In the analysis of ROC curves, the area under the curve was 0.796 (95% confidence interval 0.688-0.880; P < 0.0001) for PDGF-CC and increased to 0.900 (95% confidence interval 0.808-0.957; P < 0.0001) in combination with white blood cell counts and C-reactive protein.
    Conclusions: PDGF-CC is a potential biomarker for KD diagnosis, and the combination with white blood cell counts and C-reactive protein can further improve diagnostic performance.

    Abstract Background: This case report documents a case of malignant pheochromocytoma manifested as vision changes with lung metastasis and recurrence.
    Case presentation: A 10-year-old Han Chinese girl presented with vision changes and was eventually diagnosed with pheochromocytoma by contrast-enhanced computed tomography, urine vanillylmandelic acid. After medication for hypertension and surgery, clinical symptoms disappeared. Malignant pheochromocytoma with lung metastasis was confirmed histologically using the Pheochromocytoma of the Adrenal Gland Scaled Score scoring system and genetically with succinate dehydrogenase complex iron sulfur subunit B mutation, and 3 months later, unplanned surgery was performed because of the high risks and signs of recurrence. She is asymptomatic as of the writing of this case report. Our patient's case highlights the importance of considering a diagnosis of malignant pheochromocytoma, and long-term follow-up for possible recurrence.
    Conclusion: Although there are well-recognized classic clinical manifestations associated with pheochromocytoma, atypical presentation, such as vision changes in children, should be considered. In addition, malignant pheochromocytoma children with a high Pheochromocytoma of the Adrenal Gland Scaled Score and succinate dehydrogenase complex iron sulfur subunit B mutation require a long-term follow-up or even unplanned surgery because of the higher risk of recurrence.

    Abstract Background: A subset of patients with Kawasaki disease (KD) will suffer recurrence. However, there is still a lack of accurate prediction models for coronary artery lesions (CAL) in recurrent KD patients. It is necessary to establish a new nomogram model for predicting CAL in patients with recurrent KD.
    Methods: Data from patients with recurrent KD between 2015 and 2021 were retrospectively reviewed. After splitting the patients into training and validation cohorts, the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator was used to select the predictors of CAL and multivariate logistic regression was used to construct a nomogram based on the selected predictors. The application of area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), calibration curves, Hosmer-Lemeshow test, Brier score and decision curve analysis were used to assess the model performance.
    Results: A total of 159 recurrent KD patients were enrolled, 66 (41.5%) of whom had CAL. Hemoglobin levels, CAL at the first episode, and intravenous immunoglobulin resistance at recurrence were identified by the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression analysis as significant predictors. The model incorporating these predictors showed good discrimination (AUC, 0.777) and calibration capacities (Hosmer-Lemeshow P value, 0.418; Brier score, 0.190) in the training cohort. Application of the model to the validation cohort yielded an AUC of 0.741, a Hosmer-Lemeshow P value of 0.623 and a Brier score of 0.190. The decision curve analysis demonstrated that the nomogram model was clinically useful.
    Conclusions: The proposed nomogram model could help clinicians assess the risk of CAL in patients with recurrent KD.

    Abstract Infectious diseases have always threatened human life, but with the development of vaccines, effective strategies for preventing and controlling these diseases have become available. The global outbreak of COVID-19 ushered in the advent of mRNA vaccine technologies, which quickly led to the introduction of mRNA vaccines effective against SARS-CoV-2. The success of this approach has stimulated research into the use of mRNA vaccines in the fight against other emerging as well as remerging infectious diseases. This review examines the constructive strategies and delivery systems used in mRNA vaccines and provides an overview of current clinical trials of those vaccines in the prevention of infectious diseases. The underlying mechanisms of mRNA vaccines are also discussed, including the double-edged sword of the innate immune response. Finally, the challenges but also the potential of mRNA vaccines are considered.
