Abstract
Thyroid hormones (THs) play an important role in a wide range of crucial biological functions related to growth and development, and thyroid antibodies (TAs) can influence the biosynthesis of THs. Epidemiological studies have indicated that per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) could induce thyroid disruption, but studies on teenagers living in areas with high PFAS exposure are limited. This cross-sectional study focused on 836 teenagers (11- 15 years) living near a Chinese fluorochemical industrial plant. Decreased levels of free thyroxine (FT4, ﹤9.6 pmol/L, abnormal rate = 19.0 %) and elevated levels of free triiodothyronine (FT3, ﹥6.15 pmol/L, abnormal rate = 29.8 %) were observed. Correlations of serum PFAS concentrations and TAs/THs were analyzed. Increased PFOA was identified as a risk factor of decreased FT4 by using unadjusted (OR: 11.346; 95 % CI: 6.029, 21.352, p < 0.001) and adjusted (OR: 12.566; 95 % CI: 6.549, 24.115, p < 0.001) logistic regression models. In addition, significantly negative correlations were found between log10 transformed PFOA and FT4 levels using linear (unadjusted: β = -1.543, 95 % CI: -1.937, -1.148, p < 0.001; adjusted: β = -1.534, 95 % CI: -1.930, -1.137, p < 0.001) and BKMR models. For abnormal FT3, a significantly positive association between PFHxS and FT3 levels was observed in a regression model (unadjusted: β = -0.903, 95 % CI: -1.212, -0.595, p < 0.001; adjusted: β = -0.894, 95 % CI: -1.204, -0.583, p < 0.001), and PFHxS was identified as a risk factor (unadjusted: OR: 4.387; 95 % CI: 2.619, 7.346, p < 0.001; adjusted: OR: 4.527; 95 % CI: 2.665, 7.688, p < 0.001). Sensitivity analyses confirmed the robustness of the above results. This study reported the elevated PFAS exposure and thyroid function of teenagers living near a fluorochemical industrial plant from China.

Abstract
Objective: To summarize the clinical characteristics of epileptic seizure associated with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1). Methods: From January 2017 to July 2023 at Children's Hospital Capital Institute of Pediatrics, medical records of patients with both NF1 and epileptic seizure were reviewed in this case series study. The clinical characteristics, treatment and prognosis were analyzed retrospectively. Results: A total of 15 patients(12 boys and 3 girls) were collected. Café-au-lait macules were observed in all 15 patients. There were 6 patients with neurodevelopmental disorders and the main manifestations were intellectual disability or developmental delay. The age at the first epileptic seizure was 2.5 (1.2, 5.5) years. There were various seizure types, including generalized tonic-clonic seizures in 8 patients, focal motor seizures in 6 patients, epileptic spasm in 4 patients, tonic seizures in 1 patient, absence in 1 patient, generalized myoclonic seizure in 1 patient and focal to bilateral tonic-clonic seizure in 1 patient. Among 14 patients whose brain magnetic resonance imaging results were available, there were abnormal signals in corpus callosum, basal ganglia, thalamus or cerebellum in 6 patients, dilated ventricles of different degrees in 3 patients, blurred gray and white matter boundary in 2 patients, agenesis of corpus callosum in 1 patient and no obvious abnormalities in the other patients. Among 13 epilepsy patients, 8 were seizure-free with 1 or 2 antiseizure medications(ASM), 1 with drug resistant epilepsy was seizure-free after left temporal lobectomy, and the other 4 patients who have received 2 to 9 ASM had persistent seizures. One patient with complex febrile convulsion achieved seizure freedom after oral administration of diazepam on demand. One patient had only 1 unprovoked epileptic seizure and did not have another seizure without taking any ASM. Conclusions: The first epileptic seizure in NF1 patients usually occurs in infancy and early childhood, with the main seizure type of generalized tonic-clonic seizure and focal motor seizure. Some patients have intellectual disability or developmental delay. Most epilepsy patients achieve seizure freedom with ASM.

Abstract
Objectives: This study aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of bendamustine in combination with rituximab (BR regimen) for the treatment of newly diagnosed indolent B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (B-iNHL) and elderly mantle cell lymphoma (eMCL) . Methods: From December 1, 2020 to September 10, 2022, a multi-center prospective study was conducted across ten Grade A tertiary hospitals in Shandong Province, China. The BR regimen was administered to evaluate its efficacy and safety in newly diagnosed B-iNHL and eMCL patients, and all completed at least four cycles of induction therapy. Results: The 72 enrolled patients with B-iNHL or MCL were aged 24-74 years, with a median age of 55 years. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status scores of 0-1 were observed in 76.4% of patients, while 23.6% had scores of 2. Disease distribution included follicular lymphoma (FL) (51.4% ), marginal zone lymphoma (MZL) (33.3% ), eMCL (11.1% ), and the unknown subtype (4.2% ). According to the Ann Arbor staging system, 16.7% and 65.3% of patients were diagnosed with stage Ⅲ and stage Ⅳ lymphomas, respectively. Following four cycles of BR induction therapy, the overall response rate was 98.6%, with a complete response (CR) rate of 83.3% and a partial response (PR) rate of 15.3%. Only one eMCL patient experienced disease progression during treatment, and only one FL patient experienced a relapse. Even when evaluated using CT alone, the CR rate was 63.9%, considering the differences between PET/CT and CT assessments. The median follow-up duration was 11 months (range: 4-22), with a PFS rate of 96.8% and an OS rate of 100.0%. The main hematologic adverse reactions included grade 3-4 leukopenia (27.8%, with febrile neutropenia observed in 8.3% of patients), grade 3-4 lymphopenia (23.6% ), grade 3-4 anemia (5.6% ), and grade 3-4 thrombocytopenia (4.2% ). The main non-hematologic adverse reactions such as fatigue, nausea/vomiting, rash, and infections occurred in less than 20.0% of patients. Conclusion: Within the scope of this clinical trial conducted in China, the BR regimen demonstrated efficacy and safety in treating newly diagnosed B-iNHL and eMCL patients.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the clinical features and genetic features of combined oxidative phosphorylation deficiency 32 (COXPD32) caused by MRPS34 gene variation. Methods: The clinical data and genetic test of a child with COXPD32 hospitalized in the Department of Neurology, Children's Hospital, Capital Institute of Pediatrics in March 2021 were extracted and analyzed. A literature search was implemented using Wanfang, China biology medicine disc, China national knowledge infrastructure, ClinVar, human gene mutation database (HGMD) and Pubmed databases with the key words "MRPS34" "MRPS34 gene" and "combined oxidative phosphorylation deficiency 32" (up to February 2023). Clinical and genetic features of COXPD32 were summarized. Results: A boy aged 1 year and 9 months was admitted due to developmental delay. He showed mental and motor retardation, and was below the 3rd percentile for height, weight, and head circumference of children of the same age and gender. He had poor eye contact, esotropia, flat nasal bridge, limbs hypotonia, holding instability and tremors. In addition, Grade Ⅲ/6 systolic murmur were heard at left sternal border. Arterial blood gases suggested that severe metabolic acidosis with lactic acidosis. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed multiple symmetrical abnormal signals in the bilateral thalamus, midbrain, pons and medulla oblongata. Echocardiography showed atrial septal defect. Genetic testing identified the patient as a compound heterozygous variation of MRPS34 gene, c.580C>T (p.Gln194Ter) and c.94C>T (p.Gln32Ter), with c.580C>T being the first report and a diagnosis of COXPD32. His parents carried a heterozygous variant, respectively. The child improved after treatment with energy support, acidosis correction, and "cocktail" therapy (vitaminB1, vitaminB2, vitaminB6, vitaminC and coenzyme Q10). A total of 8 cases with COXPD32 were collected through 2 English literature reviews and this study. Among the 8 patients, 7 cases had onset during infancy and 1 was unknown, all had developmental delay or regression, 7 cases had feeding difficulty or dysphagia, followed by dystonia, lactic acidosis, ocular symptoms, microcephaly, constipation and dysmorphic facies(mild coarsening of facial features, small forehead, anterior hairline extending onto forehead,high and narrow palate, thick gums, short columella, and synophrys), 2 cases died of respiratory and circulatory failure, and 6 were still alive at the time of reporting, with an age range of 2 to 34 years. Blood and (or) cerebrospinal fluid lactate were elevated in all 8 patients. MRI in 7 cases manifested symmetrical abnormal signals in the brainstem, thalamus, and (or) basal ganglia. Urine organic acid test were all normal but 1 patient had alanine elevation. Five patients underwent respiratory chain enzyme activity testing, and all had varying degrees of enzyme activity reduction. Six variants were identified, 6 patients were homozygous variants, with c.322-10G>A was present in 4 patients from 2 families and 2 compound heterozygous variants. Conclusions: The clinical phenotype of COXPD32 is highly heterogenous and the severity of the disease varies from development delay, feeding difficulty, dystonia, high lactic acid, ocular symptoms and reduced mitochondrial respiratory chain enzyme activity in mild cases, which may survive into adulthood, to rapid death due to respiratory and circulatory failure in severe cases. COXPD32 needs to be considered in cases of unexplained acidosis, hyperlactatemia, feeding difficulties, development delay or regression, ocular symptoms, respiratory and circulatory failure, and symmetrical abnormal signals in the brainstem, thalamus, and (or) basal ganglia, and genetic testing can clarify the diagnosis.

Abstract
An analytical method combining high-throughput automatic solid-phase extraction with ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) was developed to determine 16 antibiotics (macrolides, tetracyclines, quinolones, and sulfonamides) and 4 β-agonists (terbutaline, salbutamol, ractopamine, and clenbuterol) in human urine samples. After thawing at room temperature, 1 mL of urine was sampled and the internal standard was added, followed by the addition of 200 μL ammonium acetate buffer and 20 μL β-glucuronidase, and the mixture was incubated at 37 ℃ overnight. Automatic solid-phase extraction was used to extract the target compounds from the urine samples, and the recoveries were compared using different solid-phase extraction 96-well plates (PRiME MCX, Sep-Pak C18, PRiME HLB), types and volumes of rinse solutions and eluents. Satisfactory recoveries of the 20 target compounds were obtained using the Oasis PRiME HLB 96-well plate, with 1.5 mL 10% (v/v) methanol aqueous solution and 2.0 mL methanol as the rinse solution and eluent, respectively. The eluent was concentrated under nitrogen gas at 45 ℃, and the recoveries of the target compounds were compared under different conditions (completely or almost dry, drying to 1 mL, and adding water as a protective agent), and the recovery rate was optimal when water was added as a protective agent. In this study, two types of analytical columns (ACQUITY BEH C18 and ACQUITY HSS T3) and different gradient elution procedures and mobile phases were compared. The optimal chromatographic effect was realized using an HSS T3 column (100 mm×3.0 mm, 1.8 μm) and 0.1% (v/v) formic acid aqueous solution-0.1% (v/v) formic acid in acetonitrile as the mobile phase in gradient elution at a flow rate of 0.3 mL/min. Comparing the peaks observed using different proportions of methanol aqueous solution and the initial mobile phase as the injection solvent revealed that 30% (v/v) methanol aqueous solution was the optimal solution in terms of peak shape and signal-to-noise ratio. MS was conducted using positive electrospray ionization (ESI+) in multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode, and the MS parameters were optimized, including the curtain (CUR) and collision gases (CAD). The standard curve obtained using this method exhibited a good linearity (correlation coefficient>0.997), and the respective limits of detection and quantification were 0.02-0.12 ng/mL and 0.06-0.41 ng/mL. At spiked levels of 0.25, 2.5, and 12.5 ng/mL, the recoveries were in the range of 81.7%-120.0% (except that of tetracycline), the intra- and inter-day RSDs (n=6) were 1.1%-11.0% and 1.2%-13.0%, respectively. Azithromycin, trimethoprim, terbutaline, salbutamol, ractopamine, and clenbuterol displayed moderate matrix effects, but all targets exhibited weak matrix effects after correction using the isotope internal standard. To evaluate the accuracy of this method, BCR-503 (containing salbutamol and clenbuterol) and internal quality control samples were used and the concentrations of salbutamol and clenbuterol were within the reference ranges. Additionally, the mean concentrations of the 20 target compounds of two different internal quality control samples after 7 measurements were in the ranges of 0.44-0.59 ng/mL (0.5 ng/mL) and 1.72-2.16 ng/mL (2.0 ng/mL), respectively, which were satisfactory. In this study, the analytical method employed automatic sample pretreatment with a 96-well solid-phase extraction plate, and the detection efficiency was considerably improved. This method displays the advantages of simple operation, ideal recovery, a high sensitivity and weak matrix effect, which satisfies the requirements for the simultaneous determination of 16 antibiotics and 4 β-agonists in human urine samples. This study provides a crucial method for use in monitoring antibiotics and β-agonists in human urine and studying their exposure characteristics and health risks.

Abstract
Acetylhydrazine (AcHZ), a major human metabolite of the widely-used anti-tuberculosis drug isoniazid (INH), was considered to be responsible for its serious hepatotoxicity and potentially fatal liver injury. It has been proposed that reactive radical species produced from further metabolic activation of AcHZ might be responsible for its hepatotoxicity. However, the exact nature of such radical species remains not clear. Through complementary applications of ESR spin-trapping and HPLC/MS methods, here we show that the initial N-centered radical intermediate can be detected and identified from AcHZ activated by transition metal ions (Mn(III)Acetate and Mn(III) pyrophosphate) and myeloperoxidase. The exact location of the radical was found to be at the distal-nitrogen of the hydrazine group by 15N-isotope-labeling techniques via using 15N-labeled AcHZ we synthesized. Additionally, the secondary C-centered radical was identified unequivocally as the reactive acetyl radical by complementary applications of ESR spin-trapping and persistent radical TEMPO trapping coupled with HPLC/MS analysis. This study represents the first detection and unequivocal identification of the initial N-centered radical and its exact location, as well as the reactive secondary acetyl radical. These findings should provide new perspectives on the molecular mechanism of AcHZ activation, which may have potential biomedical and toxicological significance for future research on the mechanism of INH-induced hepatotoxicity.

Abstract
Currently, studies on the association between per-/polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) concentrations and the renal function of residents, especially teenagers, living near fluorochemical industrial plants, are relatively rare, and not all these studies suggested associations. In this cross-sectional study, 775 local teenagers (11-15 years old) were included, and serum concentrations of 18 PFAS were measured. Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) was found to be the dominant PFAS with a concentration of 22.3-3310 ng/mL (mean = 191 ng/mL), accounting for 71.5-99.1% of ΣPFAS. Statistical analyses demonstrated that internal exposure of perfluoroalkyl carboxylic acids (PFCA, C8-C10) was related to the plant. In addition, the prevalence rate of chronic kidney disease (CKD) (35.0%) in the participants was relatively high. A significantly positive association was observed between the increase in PFOA concentration and increasing risk of CKD (OR = 1.741; 95% CI: 1.004, 3.088; p = 0.048) by adjusting for gender, age, body mass index (BMI), and household income. Similar positive correlation was also observed in PFHpA with CKD (OR = 1.628, 95% CI: 1.031, 2.572; p = 0.037). However, no significant correlation was observed for concentrations of other PFAS and CKD (p > 0.05). Furthermore, linear regression analyses demonstrated that none of the PFAS concentrations were significantly correlated with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) or urine albumin/urine creatinine ratio (ACR) (p > 0.05). However, a significantly negative correlation was observed between PFOA concentration and abnormal ACR (β = -0.141, 95% CI: -0.283, 0.001; p = 0.048) after stratifying by CKD. Sensitivity analyses further confirmed these results. This cross-sectional study is the first, to our knowledge, to investigate the association between PFAS concentrations and renal function in teenagers living near a Chinese industrial plant. Further prospective and metabonomic studies are needed to interpret the results and clarify the biological mechanisms underlying this association.

Abstract
Pyridinium aldoximes are best-known therapeutic antidotes used for clinical treatment of poisonings by organophosphorus nerve-agents and pesticides. Recently, we found that pralidoxime (2-PAM, a currently clinically used nerve-agent antidote) could also detoxify tetrachloro-1,4-benzoquinone (TCBQ), which is a carcinogenic quinoid metabolite of the widely used wood preservative pentachlorophenol under normal physiological conditions, via an unusually mild and facile Beckmann fragmentation mechanism accompanied by radical homolysis. However, it is not clear whether the less-chlorinated benzoquinones (CnBQs, n ≤ 3) act similarly; if so, what is the structure-activity relationship? In this study, we found that (1) The stability of reaction intermediates produced by different CnBQs and 2-PAM was dependent not only on the position but also the degree of Cl-substitution on CnBQs, which can be divided into TCBQ- and DCBQ (dichloro-1,4-benzoquinone)-subgroup; (2) The pKa value of hydroxlated quinones (Cn-1BQ-OHs, the hydrolysis products of CnBQs), determined the stability of corresponding intermediates, that is, the decomposition rate of the intermediates depended on the acidity of Cn-1BQ-OHs; (3) The pKa value of the corresponding Cn-1BQ-OHs could also determine the reaction ratio of Beckmann fragmentation to radical homolysis in CnBQs/2-PAM. These new findings on the structure-activity relationship of the halogenated quinoid carcinogens detoxified by pyridinium aldoxime therapeutic agents via Beckmann fragmentation and radical homolysis reaction may have broad implications on future biomedical and environmental research.

Abstract
Discharges released from fluorochemical industrial plants lead to severe contamination of the environment with per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs), which may pose risks to human health. In this study, 187 serum samples from teenagers (age = 14 years), 22 tap water samples and 40 soil samples were collected in areas within 0-11 km of a fluorochemical industrial plant in Huantai County, Shandong Province, and concentrations of 18 PFASs were quantified by UPLC-MS/MS. Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) was found to be predominant, concentrations of which ranged from 40.4 to 845 ng/mL in serum, from 2.88 to 19.3 ng/L in tap water, from 4.40 to 189 ng/g in soil, and accounting for 84.1-98.6%, 15.9-79.8%, and 73.8-96.7% of the total PFASs, respectively. Statistical analysis demonstrated that concentrations of perfluorinated carboxylic acids (PFCAs) in soil (C5-C9) and serum (C8-C10) were associated with the industrial plant. And PFOA concentrations in tap water were not relevant to the industrial plant, which were comparable with the non-contaminated area and lower than the threshold value recommended by U.S. EPA (70 ng/mL), indicating that the contribution to the high concentration of serum PFOA of local teenagers by drinking water was limited. Moreover, PFCAs in soil only made a limited contribution to the serum PFCAs of local residents by direct inhalation and dermal exposure, but the potential health risk by the soil via food chain should be paid attention to. Furthermore, health risk assessment demonstrated that high concentrations of PFOA in serum could pose potential health risk to local teenagers. Therefore, effective measures should be taken to attenuate the health risks caused by the industrial plant to local residents, and further epidemiological studies should be carried out in the future.

Abstract
Halogenated quinones are a class of carcinogenic intermediates and newly identified chlorination disinfection byproducts in drinking water. We found recently that halogenated quinones could enhance the decomposition of hydroperoxides independent of transition-metal ions and formation of the novel quinone enoxy/ketoxy radicals. Here, we show that the major oxidation product was 2-amino-5-[(2-deoxy-β-d-erythro-pentofuranosyl)amino]-4H-imidazol-4-one (dIz) when the nucleoside 2'-deoxyguanosine (dG) was treated with tetrachloro-1,4-benzoquinone (TCBQ) and t-butyl hydroperoxide (t-BuOOH). The formation of dIz was markedly inhibited by typical radical spin-trapping agents. Interestingly and unexpectedly, we found that the generated quinone enoxy radical played a critical role in dIz formation. Using [15N5]-8-oxodG, dIz was found to be produced either directly from dG or through the transient formation of 8-oxodG. Based on these data, we proposed that the production of dIz might be through an unusual haloquinone-enoxy radical-mediated mechanism. Analogous results were observed in the oxidation of ctDNA by TCBQ/t-BuOOH and when t-BuOOH was substituted by the endogenously generated physiologically relevant hydroperoxide 13S-hydroperoxy-9Z,11E-octadecadienoic acid. This is the first report that halogenated quinoid carcinogens and hydroperoxides can induce potent oxidation of dG to the more mutagenic product dIz via an unprecedented quinone-enoxy radical-mediated mechanism, which may partly explain their potential carcinogenicity.

Abstract
We found previously that nitroxide radical of desferrioxamine (DFO•) could be produced from the interaction between the classic iron chelating agent desferrioxamine (DFO, an N-alkyl trihydroxamic acid) and tetrachlorohydroquinone (TCHQ), one of the carconogenic quinoind metabolites of the widely used wood preservative pentachlorophenol. However, the underlying molecular mechanism remains unclear. Here N-methylacetohydroxamic acid (N-MeAHA) was synthesized and used as a simple model compound of DFO for further mechanistic study. As expected, direct ESR studies showed that nitroxide radical of N-MeAHA (Ac-(CH3)NO•) can be produced from N-MeAHA/TCHQ. Interestingly and unexpectedly, when TCHQ was substituted by its oxidation product tetrachloro-1,4-benzoquinone (TCBQ), although Ac-(CH3)NO• could also be produced, no concurrent formation of tetrachlorosemiquinone radical (TCSQ•) and TCHQ was detected, suggesting that Ac-(CH3)NO• did not result from direct oxidation of N-MeAHA by TCSQ• or TCBQ as proposed previously. To our surprise, a new nitrogen-centered amidyl radical was found to be generated from N-MeAHA/TCBQ, which was observed by ESR with the spin-trapping agents and further unequivacally identified as Ac-(CH3)N• by HPLC-MS. The final product of amidyl radical was isolated and identified as its corresponding amine. Analogous radical homolysis mechanism was observed with other halogenated quinoid compounds and N-alkyl hydroxamic acids including DFO. Interestingly, amidyl radicals were found to induce both DNA strand breaks and DNA adduct formation, suggesting that N-alkyl hydroxamic acids may exert their potential side-toxic effects via forming the reactive amidyl radical species. This study represents the first report of an unexpected new pathway for nitroxide radical production via hydrogen abstration reaction of a more reactive amidyl radical intermediate during the detoxification of the carcinogenic polyhalogenated quinones by N-alkyl hydroxamic acids, which provides more direct experimental evidence to better explain not only our previous finding that excess DFO can provide effective but only partial protection against TCHQ (or TCBQ)-induced biological damage, and also the potential side-toxic effects induced by DFO and other N-alkyl hydroxamic acid drugs.

Abstract
We found recently that benzohydroxamic acid (BHA) could detoxify the chlorinated quinoid carcinogens via an unusual Lossen rearrangement reaction. However, it is not clear what would happen when the nitrogen hydrogen of BHA was substituted with methyl and other alkyl groups. Here we show that N-methyl benzohydroxamic acid (N-MeBHA, a simple model compound for the classic iron-chelator deferoxamine, which is a typical N-alkyl trihydroxamic acid) could react with 2,5-dichloro-1,4-benzoquinone (DCBQ) to form a relatively stable initial carbon-oxygen bonding conjugation intermediate CBQ-O-N-MeBHA. However, the major final product was identified, unexpectedly, as a carbon-nitrogen bonding conjugate CBQ(OH)-N(CH3)-COAr, which is the rearranged isomer of CBQ-O-N-MeBHA. Interestingly, a new 18-line nitrogen-centered radical and a carbon-centered quinone ketoxy radical were observed by the ESR spin-trapping method, which was further confirmed by HPLC-MS and 15N-isotope labeling methods. We further found that both new DNA adducts and DNA strand breaks could be produced by the reactive nitrogen-centered radical. Taken together, we propose that the reaction between DCBQ and N-MeBHA was not via the Lossen rearrangement, but rather through a novel radical homolysis and recoupling pathway. Analogous results were observed for other chlorinated quinones and N-alkyl hydroxamic acids including the widely-used trihydroxamate iron-chelating drug deferoxamine. This represents the first report of unexpected radical pathway for the reaction between chlorinated quinones and N-alkyl hydroxamic acids under normal physiological conditions, which may have broad biological and environmental significance for future study of carcinogenic chloroquinones and hydroxamic acid drugs.

Abstract
Isoniazid (INH), the most-widely used anti-tuberculosis drug, has been shown to be activated by Mn(III) to produce the reactive carbon-centered isonicotinic acyl radical, which was considered to be responsible for its anti-tuberculosis activity. However, it is still not clear whether the previously-proposed N-centered isoniazidyl radical intermediate can be initially produced or not; and if so, what is its exact location on the hydrazine group, distal- or proximal-nitrogen? Through complementary applications of ESR spin-trapping and HPLC/MS methods, here we show that the characteristic and transient N-centered isoniazidyl radical intermediate can be detected and identified from INH activation uniquely by Mn(III)Acetate not by Mn(III) pyrophosphate. The exact location of the radical was found to be at the distal-nitrogen of the hydrazine group by 15N-isotope-labeling techniques via using 15N-labeled INH. Diisonicotinyl hydrazine was identified as a new reaction product from INH/Mn(III). Analogous results were observed with other hydrazides. This study represents the first detection and unequivocal identification of the initial N-centered isoniazidyl radical and its exact location. These findings should provide a new perspective on the molecular mechanism of INH activation, which may have broad biomedical and toxicological significance for future research for more efficient hydrazide anti-tuberculosis drugs.

Abstract
The carcinogenicity of N-hydroxy-2-acetamidofluorene (N-OHAAF), the major genotoxic metabolite of the classic model aromatic amine (AA) carcinogen 2-acetylaminofluorene, has been attributed mainly to the formation of DNA adducts via arylnitrenium upon enzymatic activation. Here, we show, unexpectedly, that exposure of N-OHAAF to UV or sunlight irradiation can not only induce the formation of the well-known covalent DNA adducts, but, more interestingly, simultaneous generation of oxidative DNA damage was also observed as measured by the formation of DNA single-/double-strand breaks (SSBs/DSBs) and 8-oxo-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodG), which were partly inhibited by the typical hydroxyl radical (•OH) scavengers. Electron spin resonance spin-trapping and fluorescent studies unequivocally confirmed that the highly reactive •OH was generated from photolysis of N-OHAAF. Further DNA sequencing investigations suggest that photoactivation of N-OHAAF caused preferential cleavage at guanine, thymine and cytosine sites. More importantly, the formation of 8-oxodG and DSBs were also observed when fibroblast Balb/c-3T3 cells were co-exposed to N-OHAAF/UV irradiation as measured by double immunofluorescence staining. Taken together, we propose that both •OH and amidyl radicals can be readily produced via N-OH homolysis in N-OHAAF by photoirradiation, which can induce both oxidative and covalent DNA damage. This represents the first report of •OH production and site-specific DNA damage via photoactivation of the genotoxic hydroxamic acid intermediate, which provides a new free radical perspective to better understand the molecular mechanism for the carcinogenicity of AAs.

Abstract
We have recently shown that the pyridinium aldoximes, best-known as therapeutic antidotes for chemical warfare nerve-agents, could markedly detoxify the carcinogenic tetrachloro-1,4-benzoquinone (TCBQ) via an unusual double Beckmann fragmentation mechanism. However, it is still not clear why pralidoxime (2-PAM) cannot provide full protection against TCBQ-induced biological damages even when 2-PAM was in excess. Here we show, unexpectedly, that TCBQ can also activate pralidoxime to generate a reactive iminyl radical intermediate in two-consecutive steps, which was detected and unequivocally characterized by the complementary application of ESR spin-trapping, HPLC/MS and nitrogen-15 isotope-labeling studies. The same iminyl radical was observed when TCBQ was substituted by other halogenated quinones. The end product of iminyl radical was isolated and identified as its corresponding reactive and toxic aldehyde. Based on these data, we proposed that the reaction of 2-PAM and TCBQ might be through the following two competing pathways: a nucleophilic attack of 2-PAM on TCBQ forms an unstable transient intermediate, which can decompose not only heterolytically to form 2-CMP via double Beckmann fragmentation, but also homolytically leading to the formation of a reactive iminyl radical in double-steps, which then via H abstraction and further hydrolyzation to form its corresponding more toxic aldehyde. Analogous radical homolysis mechanism was observed with other halogenated quinones and pyridinium aldoximes. This study represents the first detection and identification of reactive iminyl radical intermediates produced under normal physiological conditions, which provides direct experimental evidence to explain only the partial protection by 2-PAM against TCBQ-induced biological damages, and also the potential side-toxic effects induced by 2-PAM and other pyridinium aldoxime nerve-agent antidotes.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the dynamic variation trend of bronchial wall thickness (BWT) in severely burned patients combined with inhalation injury, and to determine the value of BWT to prognosis of patients. Methods: Forty-three severely burned patients with inhalation injury hospitalized in Intensive Burn Department of the Affiliated Hospital of Nankai University (Tianjin No.4 Hospital) from July to November 2016, conforming to the study criteria, were divided into survival group (n=27) and death group (n=16) according to the prognosis of patients within 14 days after admission. All patients underwent fiberoptic bronchoscopy and inhalation injury rating based on abbreviated injury scale at admission. High resolution CT examination was performed in patients of two groups at admission and 24 h post admission, 3, 7, and 14 d post admission to measure the BWT of right superior lobar bronchus trunk opening. Receiver operating characteristic curves of rating of inhalation damage at admission and BWT at admission were drawn to evaluate the predictive value for death of 43 patients. Data were processed with chi-square test, independent sample t test, Wilcoxon rank sum test, analysis of variance for repeated measurement and least-significant difference-t test. Results: (1) The numbers of patients rated as 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 grade for inhalation injury in survival group and death group were 0, 19, 6, 2, and 0, and 0, 2, 7, 7, and 0, respectively. There were statistically significant differences between the two groups (Z=-3.79, P<0.01). (2) BWT of patients in death group at admission and 24 h post admission, 3, 7, and 14 d post admission was respectively (2.72±0.26), (3.18±0.22), (2.98±0.18), (2.29±0.17), and (1.45±0.21) mm, which was significantly larger than (2.24±0.15), (2.49±0.15), (1.51±0.17), (1.04±0.16), and (1.01±0.13) mm in survival group (t=7.55, 12.14, 27.11, 19.99, 7.11, P<0.01). BWT of patients in survival group and death group at 24 h post admission, 3, 7, and 14 d post admission showed statistically significant difference when compared with that at admission within the corresponding group (t=5.97, 16.63, 28.21, 38.57, 5.34, 3.31, 4.39, 6.48, P<0.01). BWT of patients in survival group and death group on 3, 7, and 14 d post admission was significantly smaller than that at 24 h post admission within the corresponding group (t=22.27, 34.02, 45.03, 2.77, 10.53, 10.59, P<0.01). BWT of patients in survival group and death group on 7 and 14 d post admission was significantly smaller than that on 3 d post admission within the corresponding group (t=10.49, 18.26, 9.57, 11.44, P<0.01). BWT of patients in survival group and death group on 14 d post admission was significantly smaller than that on 7 d post admission within the corresponding group (t=6.97, 6.15, P<0.01). (3) The total areas under ROC curves of inhalation injury rating at admission and BWT at admission for predicting death of 43 patients were 0.880 and 0.956, respectively (with 95% confidence intervals 0.768-0.991, 0.882-1.000, P<0.05). Grade 1.5 and 2.75 mm were respectively chosen as the optimal threshold values of inhalation injury rating at admission and BWT at admission, with sensitivity of 87.50%, 83.33% and specificity of 77.78%, 96.00%, respectively. Conclusions: The BWT of survived and dead patients with severe burn and inhalation injury increases significantly post burn, while the BWT of survived patients restores to normal level faster. BWT can be used to assess the severity of inhalation injury and to predict death in severely burned patients combined with inhalation injury.

Abstract
We found recently that intrinsic chemiluminescence (CL) could be produced by all 19 chlorophenolic persistent organic pollutants during environmentally friendly advanced oxidation processes. However, the underlying mechanism for the structure-activity relationship (SAR, i.e., the chemical structures and the CL generation) remains unclear. In this study, we found that, for all 19 chlorophenol congeners tested, the CL increased with an increasing number of chlorine atoms in general; and for chlorophenol isomers (such as the 6 trichlorophenols), the CL decreased in the order of meta- > ortho-/para-Cl-substituents with respect to the -OH group of chlorophenols. Further studies showed that not only chlorinated quinoid intermediates but also, more interestingly, chlorinated semiquinone radicals were produced during the degradation of trichlorophenols by the Fenton reagent; and the type and yield of which were determined by the directing effects, hydrogen bonding, and steric hindrance effect of the OH- and/or Cl-substitution groups. More importantly, a good correlation was observed between the formation of these quinoid intermediates and CL generation, which could fully explain the above SAR findings. This represents the first report on the structure-activity relationship study and the critical role of quinoid and semiquinone radical intermediates, which may have broad chemical and environmental implications for future studies on remediation of other halogenated persistent organic pollutants by advanced oxidation processes.

Abstract
2,6-Dibromohydroquinone (2,6-DBrHQ) has been identified as an reactive metabolite of many brominated phenolic environmental pollutants such as tetrabromobisphenol-A (TBBPA), bromoxynil and 2,4,6-tribromophenol, and was also found as one of disinfection byproducts in drinking water. In this study, we found that the combination of 2,6-DBrHQ and Cu(II) together could induce synergistic DNA damage as measured by double strand breakage in plasmid DNA and 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodG) formation, while either of them alone has no effect. 2,6-DBrHQ/Cu(II)-induced DNA damage could be inhibited by the Cu(I)-specific chelating agent bathocuproine disulfonate and catalase, but not by superoxide dismutase, nor by the typical hydroxyl radical (•OH) scavengers such as DMSO and mannitol. Interestingly, we found that Cu(II)/Cu(I) could be combined with DNA to form DNA-Cu(II)/Cu(I) complex by complementary application of low temperature direct ESR, circular dichroism, cyclic voltammetry and oxygen consumption methods; and the highly reactive •OH were produced synergistically by DNA-bound-Cu(I) with H2O2 produced by the redox reactions between 2,6-DBrHQ and Cu(II), which then immediately attack DNA in a site-specific manner as demonstrated by both fluorescent method and by ESR spin-trapping studies. Further DNA sequencing investigations provided more direct evidence that 2,6-DBrHQ/Cu(II) caused preferential cleavage at guanine, thymine and cytosine residues. Based on these data, we proposed that the synergistic DNA damage induced by 2,6-DBrHQ/Cu(II) might be due to the synergistic and site-specific production of •OH near the binding site of copper and DNA. Our findings may have broad biological and environmental implications for future research on the carcinogenic polyhalogenated phenolic compounds.

Abstract
N-hydroxyphthalimide (NHPI), which is best known as an organocatalyst for efficient C-H activation, has been found to be oxidized by quinoid compounds to its corresponding catalytically active nitroxide-radical. Here, we found that NHPI can be isomerized into isatoic anhydride by an unusually facile two-step method using tetrachloro-1,4-benzoquinone (TCBQ, p-chloranil), accompanied by a two-step hydrolytic dechlorination of highly toxic TCBQ into the much less toxic dihydroxylation product, 2,5-dichloro-3,6-dihydroxy-1,4-benzoquinone (chloranilic acid). Interestingly, through the complementary application of oxygen-18 isotope-labeling, HPLC combined with electrospray ionization quadrupole time-of-flight and high resolution Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometric studies, we determined that water was the source and origin of oxygen for isatoic anhydride. Based on these data, we proposed that nucleophilic attack with a subsequent water-assisted Lossen rearrangement coupled with rapid intramolecular addition and cyclization in two consecutive steps was responsible for this unusual structural isomerization of NHPI and concurrent hydroxylation/detoxication of TCBQ. This is the first report of an exceptionally facile double-isomerization of NHPI via an unprecedented water-assisted double-Lossen rearrangement under normal physiological conditions. Our findings may have broad implications for future research on hydroxamic acids and polyhalogenated quinoid carcinogens, two important classes of compounds of major chemical and biological interest.

Abstract
Severe aplastic anemia (SAA) is a life-threatening bone marrow disorder. Bone marrow transplantation is the primary therapy for SAA; however, its efficacy is limited by numerous factors, including lack of histocompatible sibling donor, patient age and graft-versus-host-disease (GVHD) following transplantation. Immunosuppressive treatment (IST) is the first procedure developed for patients without a sibling donor. Our previous study reported that patients administered enhanced IST, in addition to a regime of unrelated umbilical cord blood (UCB) transfusion, exhibited higher efficiency and a reduced rate of relapse. Therefore, the present study reported the cases of 2 patients that received enhanced IST plus unrelated UCB transfusion. These patients exhibited complete hematological recovery with an increased rate of mixed chimerism and demonstrated no signs of GVHD or relapse during the 2-year follow-up period. Thus, enhanced immunosuppressive treatment (low-dose cyclophosphamide and antithymocyte globulin) combined with UCB transfusion may be an effective treatment for patients with SAA.

Abstract
This study aims to explore the mechanism of immunosuppressants combined with cord blood (IS + CBI) for severe aplastic anemia. Selecting 30 patients with SAA and all treated with IS + CBI (newly diagnosed group). 23 patients who were treated effectively (effective group) while 7 cases were treated invalidly (invalid group). Another 20 healthy individuals were selected as control group. To detect the expression levels of IL-17, IL-22 and other cytokines by ELISA method in each group. To detect the engraftment of cord blood stem cells by using short tandem repeat-polymerase chain reaction (STR-PCR) method. 1. IL-17, IL-22 and other cytokines expressions in newly diagnosed group were significantly higher than in the control group. 2. After 6 months, the level in effective group was significantly lower than pretherapy (P < 0.05).The level in invalid group had no obvious difference than pretherapy. 3. After 1 month and 3 months of treatment, a small amount of engraftment was found in effective group. After 6 months, implant rejection was showed. No effective engraftment was observed in invalid group. 1. IL-17, IL-22 cells in SAA patients increased which might positively correlated with the progression of SAA. 2. During the treatment of IS + CBI, there is a bridging mechanism between the early stage of engraftment and the advanced stage of immunosuppressant adjustment. The first 3 months after treatment, it relies on the engraftment of cord blood stem cells to promote hematopoietic recovery and 3 months later, it relies on immunosuppressants to maintain normal hematopoietic function.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To study the effect of co-transplant of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) and umbilical cord blood (UCB) CD34(+) cells on hematopoiesis reconstruction in NOD/SCID mice and to investigate the optimal proportion between the two kind of cells. METHODS Female NOD/SCID mice were sublethally irradiated by (60)Co gamma-ray and transplanted with BMMSCs and different ratios of UCB CD34(+) cells. From day +3 till day +42 after transplantation, 20 microl peripheral blood (PB) was collected from the retro-orbital plexus of mice weekly, and the variations of WBC and PLT were counted. Mice were sacrificed 42 days after transplantation, and human CD45 positive (huCD45(+)) cells in PB, BM, and spleen were detected by flow cytometry. RESULTS Compared with transplant of UCB CD34(+) cells alone, co-transplantation of BMMSCs and UCB CD34(+)cells at ratios of 1:1, 5:1 and 10:1, (1) significantly mitigated the decrease range (P < 0.01) and led to the recovery of WBC and platelet in PB one week earlier (P < 0.05), and the difference among the three groups was not statistically significant (P > 0.05); (2) significantly enhanced hematopoietic stem cells (PB, BM and spleen cells) engraftment in recipient mice, and the effect was most pronounced at the ratio of 10:1. huCD45(+) cells in PB, BM and spleen were increased by (2.75 +/- 0.63), (3.51 +/- 0.86) and (5.18 +/- 0.57) fold, respectively (P < 0.01). CONCLUSION The optimal hematopoiesis reconstruction is achieved by co-transplant of UCB CD34(+) cells and BMMSCs at a ratio of 1:10.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of murine mesenchymal stem cells (mMSC) on immunoproliferative response of spleen cells. METHODS Mitogen (Con A, 20 microg/ml) or irradiated (20 Gy) allogeneic spleen cells (from BALB/c or C57BL/6 mouse depending on the responder cells) were used as stimulators. Proliferations of the responder cells were determined with MTT on day 3 after culture at 37 degrees C, 5% CO2 humidified atmosphere. The ratios of CD4+/CD8+ and CD4+CD25+ cells were analyzed with FACS assay, and the levels of cytokines in supernatants with ELISA. RESULTS 1) mMSC inhibited the response of both syngeneic and allogeneic splenic cells to ConA. At the ratio of mMSC to splenic cells being 1: 1, the inhibition rate reached 84.21%. With the ratio decreasing, the inhibition rate decreased. 2) mMSC inhibited the response of both syngeneic and allogeneic splenic cells to alloantigen. When the ratio of mMSC to responder cells was 1: 10, the inhibition rate was as high as 88.07%. 3) mMSC could increase the ratio of CD4+/ CD8+ T cells and the percentage of CD4+ CD25+ cells in splenic cells. These abilities were in a dose-dependent manner and non-MHC antigen restricted. 4) mMSC decreased interleukin (IL) -2, interferon (IFN)-gamma, while increased TGF-beta1 and IL-4 in the co-culture system. CONCLUSION mMSC can suppress proliferative response of splenic cells to mitogen and alloantigen, increase the ratio of CD4+/CD8+ and the proportion of CD4+ CD25+ in T cells, decrease the secretion of proinflammatory cytokines and increase the anti inflammatory cytokines in a dose-dependent and non-MHC antigen restricted manner.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To establish an xenogeneic acute graft-versus-host disease model by engraftment of G-CSF mobilized human mononuclear cells into NOD/SCID mice. METHODS Mobilized human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMNCs) were transplanted into sublethally irradiated NOD/SCID mice. After transplantation, complete blood count, huCD45+ cells and other phenotype human lymphocytes were determined weekly. Mice were sacrificed, and their tissues were examined histopathologically and immunophenotypically. Genomic DNA was also prepared for detecting human beta-globin DNA sequence and endogenous mouse RAPSYN gene. RESULTS The human CD45+ cells in the mice appeared 1 week after transplantation. Its percentage was increased with an acute X-GVHD syndrome characterized by rapid and severe weight loss and pancytopenia. Both the specific DNAs of human beta-globin DNA gene and the murine RAPSYN gene were detected in the hu-NOD/SCID chimeras; The survival rate was 14% at 6 weeks posttransplantation. The engrafted human cells consisted mainly of CD3+ T lymphocytes but CD4/CD8 ratios seemed inverted in the chimeras. The xenogeneic graft versus host reaction was heterogeneous in different organs mainly with human lymphocytes infiltration and the liver and lungs were the critical organs. CONCLUSION Mobilized peripheral blood mononuclear cells are capable of engrafting in irradiated NOD/SCID mice with induced acute X-GVHD syndrome. The liver and the lungs are the critical organs. This is a good model for investigating the effects of human cells in inducing acute graft versus host disease in animal and for testing effective intervention methodology.

Abstract
The study was aimed to isolate and establish mesenchymal stem cell line from adult murine bone marrow as well as to identify its biological characteristics and differentiation potential. Bone marrow cells (BMCs) were collected by flushing the femurs and tibias of 4 - 5-week-old male C57BL/6 mice, and were inoculated at a concentration of 1 x 10(6)/cm(2). mMSCs were isolated, enriched and expanded by using bone marrow adherant culture and monoclonal culture. The characteristics of the cells, such as morphology, growth pattern, cell cycle, phenotype, karyotype and multipotent differentiation potential, cytogenetic stability and tumorigenesis were determined. The results indicated that the cell population consisted of spindle- and star-shaped cells, they were highly positive for CD29, CD44, Sca-1, MHC-I, moderate positive for CD13, CD90.2 and negative for CD117, CD45, Flk-1 and MHC-II. mMSCs could be induced to differentiate into adipocytes, osteoblast cells and chondrocytes. It is concluded that mMSC can be isolted, expanded and enriched by using bone marrow adhcrent culture and monoclonal culture. No tumor formations are observed for 3 months in nude mice after subcutaneous injection. mMSCs retain their properties after at least 30 passages in culture as well as from frozen stocks.

Abstract
To investigate the effects of human mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) and human fibroblastoid cell line (HFCL) as feeder layer on expansion of umbilical cord blood CD34(+) cells in vitro, (60)Co gamma-ray irradiated MSC and HFCL were used as feeder layer to expand cord blood CD34(+) cells in culture. The efficiencies of MSC and HFCL on expansion of CD34(+) cells in culture with or without cytokines were compared. The results showed that no matter whether cytokines (rhFL, rhSCF, rhTPO) were added, the proliferation of nucleated cells after expansion for 12 days in HFCL group was statistically higher than that in MSC group, i.e. with cytokines (9797 +/- 361)% vs (7061 +/- 418)%; without cytokines (5305 +/- 354)% vs (1992 +/- 247)%, when the cell numbers at day 0 was accounted as 100%), P < 0.01. The proliferation of propagated CD34(+) cells between MSC group and HFCL without addition of cytokines was not statistically different (820 +/- 191)% vs (825 +/- 305)%, P > 0.05. However, in the presence of cytokines, the propagating rate of MSC group was lower than that of HFCL group (939 +/- 212)% vs (1617 +/- 222)%, P < 0.01. MSC was better than HFCL in maintaining the LTC-IC of UCB CD34(+) cells, i.e. the number of CFU-GM colonies in the fifth week was (129.95 +/- 8.73) /10(5) seeded cells vs (89.81 +/- 10.29) colonies/10(5) cells, P < 0.05; with addition of cytokines, the effect was more obvious, i.e. the number of CFU-GM colonies in the fifth week (192.93 +/- 4.95)/10(5) seeded cells vs (90.47 +/- 14.28) colonies/10(5) seeded cells, P < 0.01. MSC mixed with a certain proportion of HFCL facilitated maintaining the LTC-IC of UCB CD34(+) cells. When the proportion was 4:1, the number of CFU-GM colonies was the highest (186.89 +/- 11.11)/10(5) seeded cells, which was higher than that of both 3:2 group [(138.92 +/- 14.84) colonies/10(5) seeded cells] and MSC only group, i.e. (64.63 +/- 6.11) colonies/10(5) seeded cells, both P < 0.01. It is concluded that HFCL is better than MSC in maintaining the expansion of CD34(+) cells and cytokines can enhance this effect, while MSC are stronger than HFCL in maintaining the LTC-IC of UCB CD34(+) cells in vitro. MSC with addition of a certain proportion of HFCL can significantly enhance the efficiency of CD34(+) cell expansion.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells have two main properties: self renewal and the ability to differentiate multiple lineage. Because MSCs exhibit low immunogenicity and demonstrate significant suppressive activity in cell cultures containing alloreactive T cells, they play an important role in transplantation immunology, but the exact mechanism remains unknown. This article focuses on the immunoregulatory feature of MSCs to immunoeffector cells, such as T cells, B cells, and NK cells. The role of MSC in transplantation immunoregulation, regulatory mechanism of MSC in cellular immunity (direct contact of cells with cells, apoptosis and immunoregulation of MSC on lymphocytes), immunoregulation of MSC on DC and NK cells were reviewed.
