Abstract
Rationale: Development of novel nanomedicines to inhibit pro-inflammatory cytokine expression and reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation for anti-inflammatory therapy of acute lung injury (ALI) remains challenging. Here, we present a new nanomedicine platform based on tyramine-bearing two dimethylphosphonate sodium salt (TBP)-modified amphiphilic phosphorus dendron (C11G3) nanomicelles encapsulated with antioxidant drug curcumin (Cur). Methods: C11G3-TBP dendrons were synthesized via divergent synthesis and self-assembled to generate nanomicelles in a water environment to load hydrophobic drug Cur. The created C11G3-TBP@Cur nanomicelles were well characterized and systematically examined in their cytotoxicity, cellular uptake, intracellular ROS elimination, pro-inflammatory cytokine inhibition and alveolar macrophages M2 type repolarization in vitro, and evaluated to assay their anti-inflammatory and antioxidative therapy effects of ALI mice model through pro-inflammatory cytokine expression level in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and lung tissue, histological analysis and micro-CT imaging detection of lung tissue injury in vivo. Results: The nanomicelles with rigid phosphorous dendron structure enable high-capacity and stable Cur loading. Very strikingly, the drug-free C11G3-TBP micelles exhibit excellent cytocompatibility and intrinsic anti-inflammatory activity through inhibition of nuclear transcription factor-kappa B, thus causing repolarization of alveolar macrophages from M1 type to anti-inflammatory M2 type. Taken together with the strong ROS scavenging property of the encapsulated Cur, the developed nanomicelles enable effective therapy of inflammatory alveolar macrophages in vitro and an ALI mouse model in vivo after atomization administration. Conclusion: The created phosphorus dendron nanomicelles can be developed as a general nanomedicine platform for combination anti-inflammatory and antioxidative therapy of inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
Development of innovative nanomedicine formulations to traverse the blood-brain barrier (BBB) for effective theranostics of glioma remains a great challenge. Herein, we report the creation of macrophage membrane-camouflaged multifunctional polymer nanogels coloaded with manganese dioxide (MnO2) and cisplatin for magnetic resonance (MR) imaging-guided chemotherapy/chemodynamic therapy (CDT) of orthotopic glioma. Redox-responsive poly(N-vinylcaprolactam) (PVCL) nanogels (NGs) formed via precipitation polymerization were in situ loaded with MnO2 and physically encapsulated with cisplatin to have a mean size of 106.3 nm and coated with macrophage membranes to have a good colloidal stability. The generated hybrid NGs display dual pH- and redox-responsive cisplatin and Mn(II) release profiles and can deplete glutathione (GSH) rich in tumor microenvironment through reaction with disulfide-containing cross-linkers within the NGs and MnO2. The thus created Mn(II) enables enhanced CDT through a Fenton-like reaction and T1-weighted MR imaging, while the loaded cisplatin not only exerts its chemotherapy effect but also promotes the reactive oxygen species generation to enhance the CDT efficacy. Importantly, the macrophage membrane coating rendered the hybrid NGs with prolonged blood circulation time and ability to traverse BBB for specific targeted chemotherapy/CDT of orthotopic glioma. Our study demonstrates a promising self-adaptive and cooperative NG-based nanomedicine platform for highly efficient theranostics of glioma, which may be extended to tackle other difficult cancer types.

Abstract
Designing intelligent stimuli-responsive nanoplatforms that are integrated with a biological membrane system and nanomaterials to realize efficient imaging and therapy of tumors still remains to be challenging. Herein, we report a unique strategy to prepare redox-responsive yellow fluorescent carbon dot nanoclusters (y-CDCs) loaded with anticancer drug doxorubicin (DOX) and coated with the cancer cell membrane (CCM) for precision fluorescence imaging and homologous targeting chemotherapy of tumors. The y-CDs with a size of 7.2 nm were first synthesized via a hydrothermal method and crosslinked to obtain redox-responsive y-CDCs with a size of 150.0 nm. The formulated y-CDCs were physically loaded with DOX with an efficiency of up to 81.0% and coated with CCM to endow them with antifouling properties, immune escape ability to escape from macrophage uptake, and homologous targeting capability to cancer cells. Within the reductive tumor microenvironment, the y-CDCs with quenched fluorescence can dissociate to form single y-CDs with recovered fluorescence and improved tumor penetration ability and simultaneously release DOX from the "cluster bomb", thus realizing efficient targeted tumor fluorescence imaging and chemotherapy. The designed y-CDCs/DOX@CCM may represent an updated nanomedicine formulation based on CDs for improved theranostics of different types of tumors.

Abstract
Development of nanomedicines for effective therapy of acute lung injury (ALI), a common critical respiratory failure syndrome, remains to be challenging. We report here a unique design of a functional nanoplatform based on generation 5 (G5) poly(amidoamine) dendrimer-entrapped gold nanoparticles (Au DENPs) to co-deliver dexamethasone (Dex) and a microRNA-155 inhibitor (miR-155i) for combination chemotherapy and gene therapy of ALI. In this study, we synthesized Au DENPs with 10 Dex moieties attached per G5 dendrimer and an Au core diameter of 2.1 nm and used them to compress miR-155i. The generated polyplexes own a positive zeta potential (16-26 mV) and a small hydrodynamic diameter (175-230 nm) and display desired cytocompatibility and efficient miR-155i delivery to lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-activated alveolar macrophages, thus upregulating the suppressor of cytokine signaling 1 and IL-10 expression and downregulating the pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6). Likewise, as a synthetic glucocorticoid with a potent anti-inflammatory property, the attached Dex on the surface of Au DENPs could inhibit pro-inflammatory cytokine secretion by down-regulating cyclooxygenase-2 expression in the LPS-activated alveolar macrophages. The integration of Dex and miR-155i within one nanoformulation enables superior downregulation of pro-inflammatory cytokines for successful repair of damaged lung tissues in an ALI model, as demonstrated by histological examinations and pro-inflammatory cytokine downregulation in ALI lesion at the gene and protein levels. Such a combined chemotherapy and gene therapy strategy enabled by dendrimer nanotechnology may hold great promise to treat other types of inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor family, pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3)-associated autoinflammatory disease (NLRP3-AID) is a rare, heterogeneous disease entity associated with mutations in NLRP3. Biologic therapy for NLRP3-AID yields diverse results. OBJECTIVES We aimed to evaluate the clinical features and outcomes of Chinese adult patients with NLRP3-AID who were treated with tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-α inhibitors. METHODS Five patients with NLRP3-AID were diagnosed and treated with TNF-α inhibitors at Peking Union Medical College Hospital between 2017 and 2020 and were followed up for 6 to 12 months. All patients were systematically studied for treatment outcomes, including clinical manifestations and inflammatory markers. RESULTS All five adult NLRP3-AID patients were Chinese Han, and four patients were males. The mean age at disease onset was 4.2 ± 4.1 years, and the mean time of diagnosis delay was 19.8 ± 6 years. All patients received TNF-α inhibitors with or without methotrexate/prednisone. During follow-up, all patients achieved remarkable clinical remission of skin lesions and polyarthritis and showed improvements in acute-phase reactants, inflammatory cytokines, patient visual analogue scale, physician global assessment and 36-item Short Form (SF-36). CONCLUSIONS Early diagnosis and effective therapy for NLRP3-AID are essential for avoiding irreversible organ damage. TNF-α inhibitors might serve as a therapeutic alternative for patients with NLRP3-AID who have unsatisfactory responses or no access to interleukin-1 inhibitors.

Abstract
Several approaches to active immunotherapy for melanoma, including peptide-based vaccines (PVs), autologous tumour cell vaccines (TCVs), allogeneic TCVs and autologous dendritic cell vaccines (DCVs), have been investigated in clinical trials. However, comprehensive evidence comparing these interventions remains unavailable. The objective of this study was to expand previous work to compare and rank the immunotherapeutic strategies for melanoma in terms of overall survival and toxic effects with a Bayesian network meta-analysis. Methodologically, we performed a network meta-analysis of head-to-head randomized controlled trials comparing and ranking cancer vaccine approaches for patients with melanoma. PubMed, MEDLINE, Embase, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, the WHO International Clinical Trials Registry Platform and ClinicalTrials.gov were searched up to 31 July 2020. We estimated summary hazard ratios for death and risk ratios for toxicity. The effects of the underlying prognostic variable on survival benefits were examined by meta-regression. We performed subgroup analysis for the outcomes based on metastatic categories. Overall, we identified 4776 citations, of which 15 head-to-head randomized controlled trials (3162 participants) were included in the analysis. In terms of efficacy, allogeneic tumour cell vaccines plus immunotherapy adjuvants, peptide-based vaccines plus immunotherapy adjuvants and standard therapy were more effective than peptide vaccines. The proportion of women was inversely associated with mortality risk. For safety, all treatments were inferior to allogeneic tumour cell vaccines except for allogeneic tumour cell vaccines plus chemotherapy. Peptide vaccines plus immunotherapy adjuvants led to an increased risk of adverse events compared to allogeneic tumour cell vaccines plus immunotherapy adjuvants. These results suggest that allogeneic TCV and autologous DCV are better than standard therapy. PV plus immune modulators are the most effective strategy among all comparable strategies but is associated with increased toxicity. Any combination regimens for cancer therapeutic vaccines need to be balanced between risk and benefit profiles.

Abstract
T cell exhaustion, in which dysfunctional T cells are limited in cytokine release and constrained in immune response, leads to immune escape of cancer cells and decreased efficiency of cancer immunotherapy. Direct regulation or blocking of programmed death 1 (PD-1) represents a promising strategy to overcome T cell exhaustion for reinvigorating anticancer immunity. Here, the construction of a 1,3-propanesultone (1,3-PS)-grafted zwitterionic dendrimer-entrapped gold nanoparticle platform chelated with Gd(III) (Gd-Au DENP-PS) for immune checkpoint modulation is reported. The developed Gd-Au DENP-PS possesses good stability, antifouling property, biocompatibility, and dual-mode computed tomography (CT)/magnetic resonance (MR) imaging functions, and allows for efficient packaging and serum-enhanced delivery of PD-1 siRNA to mediate PD-1 gene silencing in T cells in vitro, and also in vivo in a melanoma-bearing mouse model and in healthy aging mice. The dendrimer nanocomplexes or T cell-laden nanocomplexes enable suppression of tumor growth through the generation of significant effector CD8+ and CD4+ T cells, and the tumor immunotherapeutic potency can be further improved by combination with an indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase inhibitor. This study identifies a new possibility with a functional dendrimer-based nanohybrid platform for dual-mode CT/MR imaging-guided cancer immunotherapy via the regulation of T cell exhaustion.

Abstract
Rapid advances in nanotechnology have opened up innovative trails to break through the current limitation in clinical treatments of cancer and other critical diseases that plague human beings. Ultrasmall iron oxide nanoparticles (USIO NPs) with sizes smaller than 5 nm have been emerging as a novel category of nanomaterials with increasing interest in the biomedical domains. To overcome their intrinsic shortcomings, naked USIO NPs can be functionalized, clustered, assembled, or incorporated with other nanomaterials to generate various kinds of intelligent nanoplatforms for single-mode or dynamic magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, multimode imaging, as well as imaging-guided precision therapy. In this spotlight on applications, first, we propose the principal aspects in the design and application of USIO NPs for biomedical uses. Second, we cover the recent design strategies of USIO NP-based nanoplatforms mainly developed by our group, describe the rationale on the combination of other functional materials with USIO NPs, and review their resultant applications in theranostics. In addition, we provide herein a perspective on the possible future directions toward USIO NP-based nanoplatforms as smart nanomedicines.

Abstract
Preparation of versatile and safe nanovectors for efficient cancer gene therapy remains to be challenging in the current nanomedicine. Herein, we report the formation of dendrimer nanoclusters for enhanced gene delivery toward gene therapy of cancer. Here, poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimers of generation 3 (G3) were cross-linked with 4,4'-dithiodibutryic acid (DA) to form nanoclusters (NCs) through 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride-induced covalent bonding. The synthesized G3-DA NCs having a hydrodynamic size of 219.3 nm possess good colloidal stability and can condense pDNA, encoding both enhanced green fluorescent protein and tumor suppressor p53 gene to form polyplexes with good cytocompatibility. Strikingly, the created NCs/pDNA polyplexes enable 2.3 and 2.1 times higher gene transfection to cancer cells than the counterpart materials of single G3 and G5 PAMAM dendrimers, respectively, under the same conditions. Furthermore, polyplex-treated cancer cells have upregulated p53 and p21 protein and mRNA expression levels and downregulated Cyclin-D1 and CDK-4 protein and mRNA expressions, thus arresting the cell cycle to the G1 phase in vitro to achieve cancer cell gene therapy. The gene delivery efficiency of the polyplexes was further validated through the in vivo tumor therapy without systemic toxicity. The synthesized highly efficient dendrimer NC-based vector system with low cytotoxicity may be extended to tackle various types of diseases related to genetic disorders.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Deficiency of adenosine deaminase 2 (DADA2) is a rare disease with varying phenotypes and disease outcomes. We aimed to summarize the treatments of DADA2 and to explore the factors associated with disease outcome. MATERIAL AND METHODS A systemic literature review of DADA2 was conducted. Cases were included if they had documented detailed genotypes, phenotypes, treatment protocols and outcomes. Patients were categorized into uncontrolled and controlled groups. Factors associated with disease outcome were analyzed with logistic regression models. RESULTS A total of 242 DADA2 patients with treatment protocols and responses were included, 17 of whom required no treatment. The general effective rate of TNFi was 78.6% (103/131). Hematological abnormalities and increased acute phase reactants are independently associated with TNFi effectiveness, OR=0.21 (95%CI 0.07-0.661, p=0.007) and 9.62 (95%CI 2.31-40.00, p=0.002), respectively. Among those 225 patients requiring active treatment, 157 (69.8%) patients were in the controlled group, and 68(30.2%) in the uncontrolled group. Neither age of disease onset nor genotype was associated with disease outcome. Increased acute phase reactants (APRs), constitutional symptoms, neurological symptoms, and treatment with TNF inhibitors (TNFi) were independently associated with disease control, while recurrent infections and severe vascular events were the main causes of mortality (10/21 and 6/21, respectively). CONCLUSIONS In patients requiring treatment, symptoms of systemic inflammation and vasculitis and TNFi treatment are associated with disease control; while recurrent infections and severe vascular events should be treated intensively as they are the main causes of death. Hematological abnormalities should be monitored as it would decrease TNFi effectiveness.

Abstract
Design of new nanoplatforms that integrates multiple imaging and therapeutic components for precision cancer nanomedicine remains to be challenging. Here, a facile strategy is reported to prepare polydopamine (PDA)-coated molybdenum disulfide (MoS2 ) nanoflakes as a nanocarrier to load dual drug cisplatin (Pt) and 1-methyl-tryptophan (1-MT) for precision tumor theranostics. Preformed MoS2 nanoflakes are coated with PDA, modified with methoxy-polyethylene glycol (PEG)-amine, and loaded with 1-MT and Pt. The formed functional 1-MT-Pt-PPDA@MoS2 (the second P stands for PEG) complexes exhibit good colloidal stability and photothermal conversion efficiency (47.9%), dual pH-, and photothermal-sensitive drug release profile, and multimodal thermal, computed tomography and photoacoustic imaging capability. Due to the respective components of Pt, MoS2 , and 1-MT that can block the immune checkpoint associated to tumoral indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase-induced tryptophan metabolism, tri-mode chemo-photothermo-immunotherapy of tumors can be realized. In particular, under the near infrared laser irradiation, fast release of both drugs can be facilitated to achieve cooperative tumor therapy effect, and the combined immunogenic cell death induced by the dual-mode chemo-photothermo treatment and the 1-MT-induced immune checkpoint blockade can boost enhanced antitumor immune response to generate significant cytotoxic T cells for tumor killing. The developed 1-MT-Pt-PPDA@MoS2 complexes may be used as an intelligent nanoplatform for cooperative precision imaging-guided combinational tumor therapy.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the clinical features, genetic characteristics, treatment and follow-up results of patients with hydrocephalus caused by methylmalonic acidemia combined with homocysteinuria, and to discuss the optimal strategies for assessing and treating such patients. Methods: From January 1998 to December 2020, 76 patients with hydrocephalus due to methylmalonic acidemia combined with homocysteinuria in the Department of Pediatrics in 11 hospitals including Peking University First Hospital were diagnosed by biochemical, genetic analysis and brain imaging examination. The patients were divided into operation-group and non-operation-group according to whether they underwent ventriculoperitoneal shunt. The clinical features, laboratory examinations, genotype, and follow-up data were retrospectively analyzed. Data were compared between the two groups using rank sum test, and categorical data were compared using χ2 test. Results: Among the 76 patients (51 male, 25 female), 5 were detected by newborn screening, while 71 were diagnosed after clinical onset, 68 cases (96%) had early-onset, 3 cases (4%) had late-onset. The most common clinical manifestations of 74 cases with complete data were psychomotor retardation in 74 cases (100%), visual impairment in 74 cases (100%), epilepsy in 44 cases (59%), anemia in 31 cases (42%), hypotonia or hypertonia in 21 cases (28%), feeding difficulties in 19 cases (26%) and disturbance of consciousness in 17 cases (23%). Genetic analysis was performed in 76 cases, all of whom had MMACHC gene variations, including 30 homozygous variations of MMACHC c.609G>A. The most common variations were c.609G>A (94, 62.7%), followed by c.658_660del (18, 12.0%), c.567dupT (9, 6.0%) and c.217C>T (8, 5.3%). Therapy including cobalamin intramuscular injection, L-carnitine and betaine were initiated immediately after diagnosis. A ventriculoperitoneal shunt operation was performed in 41 cases (operation group), and 31 patients improved after metabolic intervention (non-operation group). There was no significant difference in the age of onset, the age of diagnosis, the blood total homocysteine, methionine, and urinary methylmalonic acid concentration between the two groups (all P>0.05). The symptoms of psychomotor development, epilepsy, and visual impairments improved gradually after a long-term follow-up in the operation group. Conclusions: Hydrocephalus is a severe complication of methylmalonic acidemia combined with homocysteinuria. The most common clinical manifestations are psychomotor retardation, visual impairment, and epilepsy. It usually occurs in early-onset patients. Early diagnosis and etiological treatment are very important. Hydrocephalus may improve after metabolic intervention in some patients. For patients with severe ventricular dilatation, prompt surgical intervention can improve the prognosis.

Abstract
Design of stimuli-responsive nanomedicine with enhanced tumor delivery for combination therapy still remains a great challenge. Here, a unique design of an antifouling-dendrimer-based nanoplatform with dual pH- and redox-responsiveness is reported to meet this challenge. First, generation 5 (G5) poly(amidoamine) dendrimers are modified with targeting ligand cyclic arginine-glycine-aspartic acid (RGD) peptide through a polyethylene glycol (PEG) spacer and zwitterion of thiolated N,N-dimethyl-cysteamine-carboxybetaine (CBT) via pH-responsive benzoicimine bond to form G5.NH2 PEGRGDCBT conjugates. Then, doxorubicin (DOX) is linked to the functional G5 dendrimers through a redox-responsive disulfide bond, followed by entrapment of CuS nanoparticles within the dendrimers. The created functional dendrimer-CuS nanohybrids with a CuS core size of 3.6 nm display a good antifouling property and excellent photothermal conversion property in the second near-infrared window. In addition, the neutral surface charge of the nanohybrids is able to be switched to be positive in the tumor region with slightly acidic microenvironment due to the break of benzoicimine bond to promote their intracellular uptake, while the redox-sensitive disulfide bond affords the fast release of the conjugated DOX within tumor cells to exert its therapeutic effect. Taken together with the CuS cores, the created dendrimer-CuS nanohybrids enable enhanced combination chemotherapy and photothermal therapy of tumors.

Abstract
Rationale: Development of nanosystems that can be integrated with macrophages (MAs), an emerging carrier system, for effective tumor therapy remains to be challenging. We report here the development of MAs specifically loaded with hyaluronic acid (HA) nanogels (NGs) encapsulated with a photothermal agent of polypyrrole (PPy) and anticancer drug doxorubicin (DOX) (HA/DOX@PPy NGs) for tumor homing and combination photothermo-chemotherapy. Methods: Cystamine dihydrochloride-crosslinked HA NGs were first prepared through a double emulsification method, then loaded with PPy via an in-situ oxidization polymerization and physically encapsulated with DOX. The created HA/DOX@PPy NGs were well characterized and subjected to be endocytosed by MAs (MAs-NGs). The MAs-mediated tumor-homing property, phenotype changes and photothermal performance of MAs-NGs were investigated in vitro, and a subcutaneous tumor model was also established to confirm their targeting capability and enhanced antitumor therapy effect in vivo. Results: The generated hybrid NGs possess a size around 77 nm and good colloidal stability, and can be specifically endocytosed by MAs without appreciably affecting their normal biofunctionalities. In particular, NG-loaded MAs display excellent in-vitro cancer cell and in-vivo tumor homing property. Systemic administration of the MAs-NGs leads to the significant inhibition of a subcutaneous tumor model through combination photothermo-chemotherapy under laser irradiation. Conclusions: The developed hybrid HA-based NG nanosystem incorporated with PPy and DOX fully integrates the coordination and heating property of PPy to regulate the optimized DOX release in the tumor region with the assistance of MA-mediated tumor homing, providing a promising cell therapy strategy for enhanced antitumor therapy.

Abstract
Development of nanoplatforms that can amplify the passive tumor targeting effect based on enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect is crucial for precision cancer nanomedicine applications. Herein, we present the development of core-shell tecto dendrimers (CSTDs) as a platform for enhanced tumor magnetic resonance (MR) imaging through an amplified EPR effect. In this work, poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimers of generation 5 (G5) were decorated with β-cyclodextrin (CD) and then assembled with G3 PAMAM dendrimers premodified with adamantane (Ad) via supramolecular recognition of CD and Ad. The formed G5-CD/Ad-G3 CSTDs were conjugated with tetraazacyclododecane tetraacetic acid (DOTA)-Gd(III) chelators and further acetylated to neutralize the remaining CSTD periphery amines. We reveal that the formed CSTD.NHAc-DOTA(Gd) (CSTD-D-Gd) complexes have a narrow size distribution and satisfactory colloidal stability, and are cytocompatible within the concentration range studied. Compared to the single dendrimer counterpart of G5.NHAc-DOTA(Gd) (G5-D-Gd) complexes, the CSTD-D-Gd complexes with a higher molecular weight and volume possess a longer rotation correlation time, hence having a longitudinal relaxivity (r1) of 7.34 mM-1 s-1, which is 1.5 times larger than that of G5-D-Gd complexes (4.92 mM-1 s-1). More importantly, the CSTD-D-Gd complexes display better permeability in the three-dimensional (3D) cell spheroids in vitro through fluorescence imaging and a more significant EPR effect for improved tumor MR imaging in vivo than the G5-DOTA-Gd complexes. The generated CSTD-D-Gd complexes may be adopted for enhanced tumor MR imaging through an amplified passive EPR effect and also be further extended for different cancer theranostic applications.

Abstract
Development of versatile and powerful nanoplatforms for efficient therapeutic delivery represents a major topic for current nanomedicine. Herein, we present the development of core-shell tecto dendrimers (CSTDs) for co-delivery of a therapeutic gene and drug for enhanced anticancer therapy applications. In this work, CSTDs were first prepared via supramolecular recognition of β-cyclodextrin (CD)-decorated generation 5 (G5) poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimers as cores and adamantane (Ad)-functionalized G3 PAMAM dendrimers as shell components. The formed CSTDs with each G5 dendrimer surrounded with 4.2 G3 dendrimers were evaluated as a gene vector for delivery of plasmid DNA encoding enhanced green fluorescent protein as well as microRNA 21 inhibitor (miR 21i). We show that under an appropriate N/P ratio, the CSTDs enable effective transfection of both genetic materials to cancer cells. In particular, the transfection of miR 21i led to the inhibition of cancer cell migration, decreased miR 21 gene expression, and the effective regulation of the target genes and proteins (e.g., PTEN, PDCD4, p53, and Caspase-3). Furthermore, we revealed that the CSTDs were able to co-deliver miR 21i and an anticancer drug doxorubicin, leading to enhanced therapeutic efficacy to cancer cells in vitro. Our findings imply that the developed CSTDs could be adopted as a versatile platform for effective co-delivery of different therapeutic components for enhanced anticancer therapy applications.

Abstract
Development of innovative nanomedicine enabling enhanced theranostics of multidrug-resistant (MDR) tumors remains to be challenging. Herein, we report the development of a newly designed multifunctional yellow-fluorescent carbon dot (y-CD)/dendrimer nanohybrids as a platform for ultrasound (US)-enhanced fluorescence imaging and chemotherapy of MDR tumors. Generation 5 (G5) poly(amidoamine) dendrimers covalently modified with efflux inhibitor of d-α-tocopheryl polyethylene glycol 1000 succinate (G5-TPGS) were complexed with one-step hydrothermally synthesized y-CDs via electrostatic interaction. The formed G5-TPGS@y-CDs complexes were then physically loaded with anticancer drug doxorubicin (DOX) to generate (G5-TPGS@y-CDs)-DOX complexes. The developed nanohybrids display a high drug loading efficiency (40.7%), strong y-CD-induced fluorescence emission, and tumor microenvironment pH-preferred DOX release profile. Attributing to the DOX/TPGS dual drug design, the (G5-TPGS@y-CDs)-DOX complexes can overcome the multidrug resistance (MDR) of cancer cells and effectively inhibit the growth of cancer cells and tumors. Furthermore, the introduction of US-targeted microbubble destruction technology was proven to render the complexes with enhanced intracellular uptake and anticancer efficacy in vitro and improved chemotherapeutic efficacy and fluorescence imaging of tumors in vivo due to the produced sonoporation effect. The developed multifunctional dendrimer/CD nanohybrids may represent an advanced design of nanomedicine for US-enhanced theranostics of different types of MDR tumors.

Abstract
Cancer phototherapy with non-invasiveness and high therapeutical efficiency has emerged as a hot spot research in cancer management. Various nanomaterials have been involved in the development of novel photoactive agents to overcome the current limitations in cancer phototherapy. Dendrimers, as an excellent nanocarrier with unique physicochemical properties, have received extensive attention and much effort has been made in the development of dendrimer-based hybrid platforms for photomedicine applications. Dendrimers can be entrapped with photosensitive agents within their internal cavities and be surface modified with reactive molecules, constructing multifunctional nanoplatforms for cancer treatment. In this review, we concisely survey the design of several different kinds of dendrimer-based nanohybrids for cancer photomedicine applications, and provide an overview of their recent applications in molecular imaging, single-modality photothermal therapy or photodynamic therapy, combination therapy, and theranostics of cancer. In addition, we also briefly discuss the future perspectives in the area of dendrimer-based nanohybrids for cancer photomedicine.

Abstract
The development of functional intelligent theranostic nanoplatform for imaging-directed synchronous inhibition of primary tumor and tumor metastasis is still a challenging task. We present here the creation of functional dendrimer-entrapped CuS nanoparticles (CuS DENPs) complexed with plasmid DNA-encoding hypermethylation in cancer 1 (pDNA-HIC1) for photoacoustic (PA) imaging-directed simultaneous inhibition of tumors and tumor metastasis. Poly(amidoamine) dendrimers of generation 5 were covalently attached with 1,3-propane sultone and arginine-glycine-aspartic acid (RGD) peptide through a spacer of poly(ethylene glycol) and adopted for the templated synthesis of CuS NPs. The prepared functional RGD-CuS DENPs possess a mean CuS core diameter of 4.2 nm, good colloidal stability, and an excellent absorption feature in the second near-infrared window, thus having a photothermal conversion efficiency of 49.8% and an outstanding PA imaging capability. The functional DENPs can effectively deliver pDNA-HIC1 to prevent cancer cell invasion and metastasis in a serum-enhancing manner by virtue of zwitterionic modification-rendered antifouling property. The developed RGD-CuS DENPs/pDNA polyplexes display αvβ3 integrin-targeted enhanced anticancer activity through the combined CuS NP-mediated photothermal therapy (PTT) and pDNA delivery-rendered cancer cell metastasis inhibition. This can also be proven by the therapeutic efficacy of a triple-negative breast cancer model in vivo, where inhibition of both the primary subcutaneous tumor and lung metastasis can be realized. The created dendrimer-CuS hybrid nanoplatform represents one of the updated designs of nanomedicine for PA imaging-directed combination PTT/gene therapy of tumors and tumor metastasis.

Abstract
In recent years, the use of poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimers of different generations as building blocks or reactive modules to construct core-shell tecto dendrimers (CSTDs) that are superior to the performance of single-generation dendrimers has received great attention in the field of biomedical applications. The CSTDs are always based on high-generation dendrimers as the core and low-generation dendrimers as the shell; not only do they have excellent properties similar to single high-generation dendrimers, but they also have overcome some of the shortcomings (e.g., limited drug loading capacity or enhanced permeability and retention effect due to small size) of single-generation dendrimers in biomedical applications. Herein, the recent advances of CSTDs synthesized by different approaches as nanoplatforms for different biomedical applications, particularly for chemotherapy, gene delivery, and combination therapy, as well as biological imaging, are summarized. In addition, the current challenges and future perspectives of CSTDs are also discussed.

Abstract
Abundant reactive oxygen species and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) cytokine supply of M1-type macrophages boost rheumatoid arthritis (RA) pathological process. For efficient RA therapy, here a multifunctional nanoplatform is presented based on generation 5 (G5) poly(amidoamine) dendrimer-entrapped gold nanoparticles (Au DENPs) to achieve co-delivery of antioxidant alpha-tocopheryl succinate (α-TOS) and anti-inflammatory anti-TNF-α siRNA to macrophage cells. G5 dendrimers with amine termini are sequentially functionalized with 1,3-propane sultone (1,3-PS), α-TOS through a polyethylene glycol (PEG) spacer, and PEGylated folic acid (FA), and subsequently entrapped with Au NPs. The generated functional Au DENPs exhibit desired cytocompatibility, zwitterion-rendered antifouling property, and FA-mediated targeting specificity, enabling serum-enhanced siRNA delivery to M1-type macrophage cells. Meanwhile, the attached α-TOS affords enhanced oxidation resistance of macrophage cells. In vivo investigation shows that the treatment of a collagen-induced arthritis mouse model using α-TOS-modified Au DENPs/TNF-α siRNA polyplexes can achieve excellent combination therapy effect in inflammatory cytokines downregulation of RA lesion and bone erosions. The therapeutic efficacy is also supported by 3D micro-computed tomography analysis and TNF-α cytokine reduction of RA lesion joints in the mRNA, protein, and histology levels. The created multifunctional nanoplatform may be employed in antioxidative and anti-inflammatory combination therapy of RA.

Abstract
Development of nanoplatforms for targeted anticancer drug delivery for effective tumor therapy still remains challenging in the development of nanomedicine. Here, we present a facile method to formulate a LAPONITE (LAP) nanodisk-based nanosystem for anticancer drug doxorubicin (DOX) delivery to folic acid (FA) receptor-overexpressing tumors. In the current work, aminated LAP nanodisks were first prepared through silanization, then functionalized with polyethylene glycol-linked FA (PEG-FA) via 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC) chemistry, and finally employed to physically encapsulate DOX. The formed functional LAP nanodisks (for short, LM-PEG-FA) possess a high DOX loading efficiency (88.6 ± 1.2%) and present a pH-dependent release feature with a quicker DOX release under acidic pH conditions (pH 5.0) than under physiological pH conditions (pH 7.4). In vitro flow cytometry, confocal microscopic observation, and cell viability assay show that the LM-PEG-FA/DOX complexes can be specifically taken up by FAR-overexpressing human ovarian cancer cells (SK-OV-3 cells) and present a specific cancer cell therapeutic effect. Further tumor treatment results reveal that the LM-PEG-FA/DOX complexes can exert a specific therapeutic efficacy to a xenografted SK-OV-3 tumor model in vivo when compared with nontargeted LM-mPEG/DOX complexes. Therefore, the developed LM-PEG-FA nanodisks could be employed as a potential platform for targeted cancer chemotherapy.

Abstract
Detection of analytes in biological systems is pivotal to explore their physiological roles and provide diagnostic and treatment options for related diseases, which however remains a great challenge. Optical nanoprobes that exhibit absorption or fluorescence signal changes in response to the targets of interest have emerged as a versatile class of biosensors in the field. Polyethylenimine (PEI) with abundant amine groups plays indispensable roles in the construction of optical nanoprobes and mediating the sensing processes. After interaction with analytes, PEI-based optical nanoprobes can be induced to form aggregates, be disassembled or separated into individual units, or undergo structure/component alterations. As such, the optical properties of these nanoprobes have corresponding changes, allowing for sensitive and selective detection of a wide variety of analytes in biological environment. Up to now, detections of reactive oxygen species, pH, metal ions, biothiols, neurotransmitters, therapeutic agents, oxygen levels, enzyme activities, and virus/bacteria have been successfully demonstrated using PEI-based optical nanoprobes. Herein, we summarize the recent developments of PEI-based optical nanoprobes for biosensing applications and highlight the probe designs and sensing mechanisms. The existing challenges and prospects regarding biosensing applications of PEI-based optical nanoprobes are also briefly discussed.

Abstract
Detection of heavy metal ions in water is of paramount significance for environmental pollution control. Here, we report the use of γ-polyglutamic acid (γ-PGA)-stabilized gold nanoparticles (γ-PGA-Au NPs) as a probe to sense trivalent chromium (Cr3+) in aqueous solution. In our study, γ-PGA-Au NPs were first formed through one-step sodium borohydride reduction of Au salt in the presence of γ-PGA. The formed γ-PGA-Au NPs with a mean particle size of 4.6 nm show desirable colloidal stability and a significant color change from wine red to gray after exposure to Cr3+ ions, which is visible to the naked eye and easily detected by colorimetric assay using UV-vis spectrometry. The limit of detection of Cr3+ ions is 100 ppb by the naked eye and 0.2 ppb by UV-vis spectroscopy, respectively. We further show that the detection of Cr3+ using γ-PGA-Au NPs has excellent selectivity, and the recovery percentage is higher than 82% for different water samples such as lake water, river water, tap water or mineral water. Our study demonstrates that γ-PGA-Au NPs can be utilized as an efficient probe for colorimetric sensing of Cr3+ ions in a water environment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the leading causes of cancer-related death worldwide, particularly in China. In recent years, numerous studies have investigated the roles of circular RNAs (circRNAs) in tumour development because circRNAs generally act as microRNA (miRNA) sponges to regulate gene expression. However, whether circRNAs are also involved in HCC progression remains largely unknown. MATERIALS AND METHODS In the present study, we identified a novel circRNA (hsa_circ_103809) and determined its expression in HCC tissues and cell lines by qRT-PCR assays. CCK8, colony formation, wound-healing and transwell assays were performed to assess the effects of hsa_circ_103809 and miR-620 on HCC cell proliferation, migration and invasion. Bioinformatics analysis and luciferase reporter assays were used to explore the correlation between hsa_circ_103809 and miR-620 in HCC cells. RESULTS The results showed that hsa_circ_103809 expression was significantly down- regulated in HCC tissues and cell lines. The ectopic expression of hsa_circ_103809 inhibited HCC cell proliferation, migration and invasion. In addition, we found that miR-620 expression was significantly up-regulated in HCC tissues and was negatively correlated with hsa_circ_103809 expression in HCC tissues. Furthermore, we found that hsa_circ_103809 could bind to miR-620 and that hsa_circ_103809 negatively regulates miR-620 expression. We also showed that hsa_circ_103809 inhibited the proliferation and invasion abilities of HCC cells by sponging miR-620. CONCLUSIONS Hsa_circ_103809 acts by binding to miR-620 and inhibiting the tumourigenicity of HCC. Thus, this circRNA may serve as a potential biomarker and novel therapeutic target of HCC.

Abstract
Objectives: To summarize the clinical and genetic characteristics of the patients with isolated methylmalonic acidemia and investigate the strategies for the diagnosis, treatment and prevention. Methods: Three hundred and fourteen patients (180 males, 134 females) with isolated methylmalonic acidemia were ascertained from 26 provinces or cities across the mainland of China during January 1998 to March 2020. Genetic analysis was performed by Sanger sequencing, gene panel sequencing, whole exome sequencing, multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification or quantitative PCR. According to the age of onset, the patients were divided to early-onset group (≤12 months of age) and the late-onset group (>12 months of age). They were treated by cobalamin, L-carnitine and (or) special diet and symptomatic treatment. Statistical analysis was done using Chi-square test. Results: Fifty-eight of 314 (18.5%) patients were detected by Newborn screening using liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry. Five cases (1.6%) had a postmortem diagnosis. Two hundred and fifty-one patients (79.9%) were clinically diagnosed with an age of onset ranged from 3 hours after birth to 18 years. One hundred and fifty-nine patients (71.0%) belonged to early-onset groups, 65 patients (29.0%) belonged to the late-onset group. The most common symptoms were metabolic crises, psychomotor retardation, epilepsy, anemia and multiple organ damage. Metabolic acidosis and anemia were more common in early-onset patients than that in late-onset patients (20.8%(33/159) vs. 9.2% (6/65), 34.6% (55/159) vs. 16.9% (11/165), χ(2)=4.261, 6.930, P=0.039, 0.008). Genetic tests were performed for 236 patients (75.2%), 96.2%(227/236) had molecular confirmation. One hundred and twenty-seven variants were identified in seven genes (MMUT, MMAA, MMAB, MMADHC, SUCLG1, SUCLA2, and MCEE), of which 49 were novel. The mut type, caused by the deficiency of methylmalonyl-CoA mutase, was the most common (n=211, 93%) cause of this condition. c.729_730insTT, c.1106G>A and c.914T>C were the three most frequent mutations in MMUT gene. The frequency of c.914T>C in early-onset patients was significantly higher than that in late-onset patients (8.3% (18/216) vs. 1.6% (1/64), χ(2)=3.859, P=0.037). Metabolic crisis was more frequent in mut type than the other types (72.6% (114/157) vs. 3/13, χ(2)=13.729, P=0.001),developmental delay and hypotonia were less frequent in mut type (38.2% (60/157) vs. 9/13, 25.5% (40/157) vs. 8/13, χ(2)=4.789, 7.705, P=0.030, 0.006). Of the 58 patients identified by newborn screening, 44 patients (75.9%) who were treated from asymptomatic phase developed normally whereas 14 patients (24.1%) who received treatment after developing symptoms exhibited varying degrees of psychomotor retardation. Conclusions: The characteristics of phenotypes and genotypes among Chinese patients with isolated methylmalonic acidemia were analyzed. Expanded the mutation spectrum of the associated genes. Because of the complex clinical manifestations and severe early onset of isolated methylmalonic acidemia, Newborn screening is crucial for early diagnosis and improvement of prognosis. MMUT gene is recommended for carrier screening as an effort to move the test earlier as a part of the primary prevention of birth defects.

Abstract
Background:We present the first report of high-titer autoantibodies inNLRP3-associated autoinflammatory disease(NLRP3-AID).Because systemic autoinflammatory disease(SAID) is characterised by the lack of autoreactive T-cells or autoantibodies,we made a systemic review on the theme of autoantibody in SAID to clarify this phenomenon.Objectives:We present the first report of high-titer autoantibodiesNLRP3-AID, and discuss autoantibody in classical SAID.Methods:We collected the clinical data of the patient withNLRP3-AID who had high-titer autoantibodies,and made a systemic review about autoantibody in SAID.Results:A 38-year-old Chinese Han patient was definitely diagnosed asNLRP3-AID because of cold-triggered urticaria-like rash and fever,arthralgia,binaural sensorineural deafness,chronic meningitis,high inflammatory marker and de novoNLRP3T348M variant. Figure 1 shows pedigree of the patient.Meanwhile,she had positive antinuclear antibody(ANA) with a nucleolar pattern of 1:160, positive anti-β2GPI antibody 54-68 AU/ml (normal range < 20 AU/ml) and positive lupus anticoagulant 1.24-1.29 (normal range ≤ 1.2). Literature review found that 13 articles reported autoantibodies in Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF), and there was no autoantibody reported in hyperimmunoglobulinemia D syndrome (HIDS),TNF receptor–associated periodic syndrome(TRAPS) andNLRP3-AID. The prevalence of ANA,anti-dsDNA,RF and anti-CCP in patients with FMF was similar to healthy controls.Fig. 1.Pedigree of the patient. The black arrow indicates the proband. The asterisks indicate the individuals who had clinical manifestations and carry the NLRP3 T348M variant.Conclusion:Patients withNLRP3-AID can have high-titer ANA and APLs by accident. If patients with high-titer autoantibodies have characteristic manifestations of SAIDs instead of typical features of autoimmune diseases, we should make the final diagnosis through detailed investigation and genetic testing.References:[1]Ben-Chetrit E, Gattorno M, Gul A, et al.
