ABSTRACT

Neonates born through meconium-stained amniotic fluid (MSAF) may develop complications including meconium aspiration syndrome, persistent pulmonary hypertension of newborn and death. The approach to the resuscitation of these neonates has significantly evolved for the past few decades. Initially, under direct visualization technique, neonates with MSAF were commonly suctioned below the vocal cords soon after delivery. Since 2015, Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP®) of the American Academy of Pediatrics has recommended against "routine" endotracheal suctioning of non-vigorous neonates with MSAF but favored immediate resuscitation with positive pressure ventilation via face-mask bagging. However, the China neonatal resuscitation 2021 guidelines continue to recommend routine endotracheal suctioning of non-vigorous neonates born with MSAF at birth. This review article discusses the differences and the rationales in the approach in the resuscitation of neonates with MSAF between Chinese and American NRP® guidelines over the past 60 years.

ABSTRACT

Tumor metastasis is an important cause of tumor treatment failure. Its molecular mechanism is closely related to tumor cells remodeling immune cells and immunosuppressive microenvironment, so as to create a suitable soil for tumor cell invasion and growth. "Huoxue Huayu" is one of the important therapeutic principles in cancer treatment, but the influence of Huoxue drugs on tumor metastasis has been controversial in clinical application. In this paper, we systematically summarized the comparative study of Huoxue drugs and Yiqi Huoxue drugs in tumor metastasis in recent years, and discussed the differences of molecular mechanisms of Huoxue drugs and Yiqi Huoxue drugs in anti-tumor metastasis from the perspective of immune remodeling, so as to provide scientific basis for clinical rational application of Huoxue drugs and Yiqi Huoxue drugs.

ABSTRACT

Clinically, the incidence and mortality of malignant tumors are relatively high, especially in underdeveloped regions or countries. In recent years, with the continuous improvement of people's health awareness, living standards and medical standards, the incidence and mortality of malignant tumors have been declining. At present, malignant tumors are mostly treated by western medicine therapies in clinic, such as surgical resection or radiation therapy, chemical drug therapy, targeted drug therapy and immunotherapy. However, patients with postoperative tumors are prone to relapse and metastasis, with severe adverse reactions and a poor prognosis. And drug resistance and other issues have a serious impact on clinical efficacy and the quality of life of patients. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that malignant tumors belong to the "accumulation" and "abdominal mass", with both internal and external etiologies. The internal etiology is mainly the insufficient anti-pathogenic energy. The external etiology is mainly six exogenous pathogenic factors to the body seven emotional stimulations. Pathogenic factors, such as deficiencies of Qi and blood, imbalance of Yin and Yang and visceral dysfunction, which lead to the occurrence of malignant tumors. The pathogenesis is mostly based on the asthenia in origin and access in superficiality. The asthenia in origin is mainly due to the insufficient anti-pathogenic energy, with Qi stagnation, blood stasis, phlegm coagulation, and toxic knot as the symptoms. For malignant tumors, like modules, the method for softening hardness to dissipate stagnation is the first choice. Chinese herbal medicine for softening hardness to dissipate stagnation is widely used for malignant tumors in clinic, with a remarkable clinical efficacy. Therefore, in recent years, anti-tumor mechanism and clinical studies of Chinese herbal medicine for softening hardness to dissipate stagnation have become a hotspot at home and abroad. This paper combines the domestic and foreign literatures of the effect of Chinese herbal medicine for softening hardness to dissipate stagnation in treating malignant tumors in both pharmacological trials and clinical research over the past cade. The progress of the studies is reviewed, in the expectation of providing a reference for the clinical anti-tumor application of Chinese herbal medicine for softening hardness to dissipate stagnation.

ABSTRACT

Objective: To explore the impact of the natural killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptor/human leukocyte antigen (KIR/HLA) receptor-ligand model in single unrelated cord blood transplantation (sUCBT) . Methods: Between July 2012 and June 2018, 270 patients with malignant hematologic diseases receiving single-unit UCBT were divided into two groups. Group 1 (n=174) patients lacked a C-ligand for inhibitory KIR on UCB NK cells (patients homozygous C1/C1 or C2/C2) . Group 2 (n=96) patients expressed both C ligands for inhibitory KIR in the receptor (patients heterozygous C1/C2) . Results: A total of 270 patients (146 males, 124 females) with a median age of 13 years (1-62) were included in this retrospective study. All patients received a myeloablative conditioning regimen (without ATG) . The ratio of neutrophil engraftment for group 1 and 2 were both 98.9%, the median time of neutrophil engraftment for group 1 and 2 was 16 (10-41) days vs 17 (11-33) days (P=0.705) . The ratio of platelet engraftment was 88.5% for group 1 and 87.5% for group 2, the median time of platelet engraftment was 35 (11-113) days vs 38.5 (13-96) days (P=0.317) . The cumulative incidence of Ⅱ-Ⅳ acute GVHD in 100 days was 38.7% (95%CI 31.4%-45.9%) for group 1 and 50.0% (95%CI 39.6%-59.6%) for group 2 (P=0.075) , but multivariate analysis showed that HLA-C ligand absence was an independent protective factor for Ⅱ-Ⅳ acute GVHD after transplantation (P=0.036) . Patients in absence of a C-ligand for inhibitory KIRs (Group 1) showed a lower relapse rate than patients with both C-ligands (group 2) : 17.7% (95%CI 11.7%-24.9%) vs 22.7% (95%CI 4.4%-32.2%) after 3 years (P=0.288) . The median follow-up time was 742 (335-2 512) days. The 3-year OS was 72.1% for group 1 and 60.5% for group 2 (P=0.079) . There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in 3-year disease-free survival [64.9% (95%CI 56.2%-72.3%) vs 55.4% (95%CI 44.4%-65.0%) (χ(2)=3.027, P=0.082) ]. Non-relapse mortality for group 1 was 12.1% (95%CI 7.7%-17.4%) and for group 2 was 16.7% (95%CI 10.0%-24.8%) (P=0.328) . Conclusion: Patients lacking a KIR-ligand of HLA group C1 or C2 had a lower incidence of grades Ⅱ-Ⅳ acute GVHD after sUCBT.

ABSTRACT

We studied the protective effect and mechanism of isorhamnetin (ISO) on 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridiniumion (MPP+)-induced SH-SY5Y cells injury. MPP+-induced SH-SY5Y cell injury model was established, and cell viability was measured by MTT and LDH methods. The activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) in cells were determined to investigate the level of oxidative stress. DCFH-DA and MitoSOX fluorescence probes were used to detect the levels of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) and mitochondria superoxide, respectively. JC-1 fluorescence probe was used to detect the changes of mitochondrial membrane potential. Western blot and immunofluorescence methods were used to determine the expressions of Sirt1 and PGC-1 proteins, as well as the expression levels of apoptosis-related proteins Bax and Bcl-2. MPP+ at the dose of 500 μmol·L-1 significantly reduced SH-SY5Y cells viability to 52.46% and increased LDH release to 417.63%. ISO at 5 and 15 μmol·L-1 significantly increased the expression of Sirt1 and PGC-1α, inhibited LDH release, reduced intracellular ROS and mitochondria superoxide, inhibited the decline of mitochondrial membrane potential and increased cell viability to 61.61% and 67.55%. In addition, ISO could downregulate the expression of Bax and upregulate the expression of Bcl-2 to reduce cell apoptosis. ISO-mediated inhibition of apoptosis could be reversed by Sirt1 specific inhibitor Sirtinol. Through activating Sirt1/PGC-1α signaling pathway, ISO could reduce oxidative stress injury and inhibit cell apoptosis to protect cells from MPP+ injury.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the effects of cytomegalovirus (CMV) DNA load on immune reconstitution and clinical outcomes of patients after unrelated cord blood transplantation (UCBT).@*METHODS@#Eight-color flow cytometry was used to dynamically monitor the changes of peripheral blood lymphocyte subsets of 41 patients at one year after UCBT, and 10 healthy volunteers were enroled as controls. Patients were divided into two groups according to the DNA load of CMV (DNA copies <1000/ml and DNA copies ≥1000/ml). Comparative analyse of the effect of CMV DNA load on lymphocyte subsets and transplantation outcomes were carried out after transplantation.@*RESULTS@#The high CMV DNA load group showed a faster and expanded T cell reconstitution, and the differences between the two groups were statistically significant at one and nine months after transplantation (0.38×10 /L vs 0.25×10 /L, P=0.015 and 2.53×10 /L vs 1.36×10 /L, P=0.006, respectively). Further analysis of T cell subsets suggested that CD8 T cells presented a higher and faster recovery in the high DNA load group, and the differences between the two groups were statistically significant at one and nine months after transplantation (0.20×10 /L vs 0.10×10 /L, P=0.038 and 1.62×10 /L vs 0.68×10 /L, P=0.003, respectively). In addition, there were no significant differences in levels of B cells, regulatory B cells and NK cells between the two groups. Outcomes after one- and a-half-year transplantation showed that there were no significant difference in relapse, non-relapse mortality and overall survival between the high and the low DNA load groups (7.7% vs 7.5%) (P=0.900) (15.4% vs 21.4%) (P=0.686) and (76.9% vs 78.6%) (P=0.889) respectively.@*CONCLUSION@#The high CMV DNA load induces a faster and long-lasting expansion of T cells, mainly as the expansion of CD8 T cells after UCBT. Besides, under the current pre-emptive treatment of CMV, the high CMV DNA load does not affect the early survival of patients with acute myeloid leukemia after UCBT.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE@#To analyze the clinical outcomes of engraftment, graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and survival in the patients with AML1-ETO positive acute myeloid leukemia (AML) treated with unrelated umbilical cord blood transplantation (UCBT).@*METHODS@#Forty-Five patients with high-risk refractory AML1-ETO positive AML were treated with a single UCBT in a single center from July 2010 to April 2018. All the patients underwent a myeloablative preconditioning regimen,and cyclosporine A (CSA) combined with mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) was used to prevent GVHD.@*RESULTS@#The median value of total nucleated cells (TNC) in cord blood was 5.21 (1.96-12.68)×10/kg recipient body weight, and that of CD34+ cells was 5.61 (0.56-15.4)×10/kg recipient weight. The implantation rate of neutrophil at 42 d and that of platelet at 120 d were 95.6% and 86.7%, respectively. The median time of absolute neutrophil count (ANC)>0.5×10/L and platelet 20×10/L were 16 (12-18) d and 37 (17-140) d after transplantation, respectively. The cumulative incidence of Ⅰ -Ⅳ grade acute GVHD (aGVHD) at 100 d after transplantation was 48.9% (95% CI 33.5%-62.6%), Ⅱ-Ⅳ grade aGVHD occurred in 12 cases (33.3%) (95% CI 20%-47.2%) , and Ⅲ-Ⅳ grade a GVHD in 8 cases (20%) (95% CI 9.8% -32.8%). In 5 cases of 40 patients survived over 100 days, the chronic GVHD (cGVHD) occurred after transplantation, among which 4 were localized, and 1 was extensive. 3 patients relapsed, and the 2-year cumulative relapse rate was 9.5% (95% CI 2.4%-22.8%). The median follow-up time was 23.5 (0.9-89.67) months, 10 patients died, 2-year disease-free survival rate (DFS) was 72.7%, and overall survival rate (OS) was 75.5%. Multivariate analysis showed that Ⅲ-Ⅳ. acute GVHD (aGVHD) affected overall survival.@*CONCLUSION@#UCBT is an effective rescue treatment for patients with high-risk refractory AML1-ETO positive AML.

ABSTRACT

Objective: To compare the clinical efficacy of umbilical cord blood transplantation (UCBT) and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation from HLA-matched sibling donors (MSD-HSCT) in the treatment of myelodysplastic syndrome-EB (MDS-EB) or acute myeloid leukemia with myelodysplasia-related changes (AML-MRC) . Methods: A cohort of 64 patients (including 38 cases of MDS-EB and 26 cases of AML-MRC) who received UCBT/MSD-HSCT from February 2011 to December 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. Results: ①Compared with MSD-HSCT group, UCBT group had a higher proportion of AML-MRC patients [52.8% (19/36) vs 25.0% (7/28) , P=0.025], and a lower median age [13 (1.5-52) years vs 32 (10-57) years, P=0.001]. ②The engraftment of neutrophils both in UCBT and MSD-HSCT groups on +42 d was 100%, and the median engraftment time was 17.5 (11-31) d and 11.5 (10-20) d, respectively. The engraftment of platelet at +100 d in UCBT group was 91.4%, the median engraftment time was 40 (15-96) d; The engraftment of platelet at +100 d in MSD-HSCT group was 100%, and the median engraftment time was 15 (11-43) d. ③There were no statistically significant differences in terms of the cumulative incidence of Ⅱ-Ⅳ and Ⅲ/Ⅳ aGVHD of 100 d and transplant related mortality (TRM) of 180 d, relapse rate, overall survival (OS) , disease-free survival (DFS) between UCBT and MSD-HSCT groups (P>0.05) . ④The 3-year cumulative incidence of chronic GVHD (cGVHD) and severe chronic GVHD in UCBT group were lower than of MSD-HSCT group [28.3% (95%CI 13.4%-45.3%) vs 67.9% (95%CI 46.1%-82.4%) , P=0.002; 10.3% (95%CI 2.5%-24.8%) vs 50.0% (95%CI 30.0%-67.1%) , respectively, P<0.001]. The cumulative 3-year incidence of GVHD-free and relapse-free survival (GRFS) of UCBT group was significantly higher than of MSD-HSCT group [55.0% (95%CI 36.0%-70.6%) vs 28.6% (95%CI 13.5%-45.6%) , P=0.038]. Conclusion: UCBT could obtain better quality of life after transplantation than MSD-HSCT in treatment of MDS-EB/AML-MRC.

ABSTRACT

The present study was designed to develop a practical strategy to tackle the problem of lacking standard compounds and limited references for identifying structure-related compounds in Streptocaulon griffithii Hook. f., especially those in trace concentrations, with a focus on antitumor activity. The cardiac glycosides (CGs)-enriched part was determined using in vitro bioactive assays in three cancer cell lines and then isolated using macroporous resins. The MS and MS/MS data were acquired using a high performance liquid chromatography coupled with hybrid quadrupole-time of flight (HPLC-Q-TOF-MS) system. To acquire data of trace compound in the extract, a multiple segment program was applied to modify the HPLC-Q-TOF-MS method. A mass defect filter (MDF) approach was employed to make a primary MS data filtration. Utilizing a MATLAB program, the redundant peaks obtained by imprecise MDF template calculated with limited references were excluded by fragment ion classification, which was based on the ion occurrence number in the MDF-filtered total ion chromatograms (TIC). Additionally, the complete cleavage pathways of CG aglycones were proposed to assist the structural identification of 29 common fragment ions (CFIs, ion occurrence number ≥ 5) and diagnostic fragment ions (DFIs, ion occurrence number < 5). As a result, 30 CGs were filtered out from the MDF results, among which 23 were identified. This newly developed strategy may provide a rapid and effective tool for identifying structure-related compounds in herbal medicines.

ABSTRACT

Objective: To explore the clinical efficacy and safety of unrelated umbilical cord blood transplantation (UCBT) in the treatment of refractory and relapsed acute leukemia (AL) patients. Methods: The clinical data of 22 refractory and relapsed AL patients who were treated with UCBT as salvage therapy from November 2009 to May 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. All patients received a myeloablative conditioning regimen for prevention of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) with cyclosporine A (CSA)/short course of mycophenolate mofetil (MMF). Results: ①Of 22 patients, 9 cases were male and 13 female. The median age was 23 (15-44) years and median weight of 52.5 (43-82) kg. All patients were transplanted with a median umbilical cord blood nucleated cells of 3.07 (1.71-5.30)×107/kg (by weight), the median CD34+ cells was 1.60 (0.63-3.04)×105/kg (by weight). ②The myeloid cumulative implantation rate was 95.5% (95%CI 45.2-99.7%) after transplantation of 42 d, with the median implantation time of 19 (13-27) d. The platelet cumulative implantation rate after transplantation of 120 d was 81.8% (95%CI 54.2-93.6%), the median implantation time of 42 (20-164) d. ③The incidence of Ⅱ-Ⅳ, Ⅲ-Ⅳ aGVHD and the 2 year cumulative incidence of cGVHD were 36.4%, 13.6% and 40.3% respectively. ④ The transplant related mortality (TRM) after transplantation of 180d was 22.7%, 2 year cumulative rate of relapse was 18.7% (95%CI 3.6-42.5%), 2 year disease-free survival rate (DFS) and overall survival rate (OS) were 53.7% and 58.1%, respectively. Conclusion: The preliminary results show that the use of UCBT is safe and effective for refractory and relapsed AL patients who fail to respond to conventional chemotherapy.

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the hemostatic effect of spleen-invigorating, qi-replenishing and blood-containing formula on simvastatin-induced zebrafish hemorrhage model, and to compare with the effect of clearing heat and cooling blood formula.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Zebrafishes from breed A B line were treated with 0.5 µmol/L simvastatin for 24 hours to establish zebrafishes hemorrhage model. Under strict blinded experimental conditions, the above mentioned zebrafishes were then treated with experimental drug of different concentrations at the maximum non-lethal dose. The intervention effect of spleen-invigorating, qi-replenishing and blood-containing formula was comprehensively assessed by examining the main observational parameters, such as bleeding reduction rate and hemostasis rate while referring to additional parameters, such as blood flow, improvement rate of blood flow, velocity of movement, improvement rate of motion, which are characteristics of spleen qi deficiency.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>When the hemostatic effect of experimental drug B1 at the concentrations of 500 and 1 000 µg/ml, zebrafish bleeding rates were 30% and 15%, the hemostatic rate was 60% and 80%, respectively; when the experimental drug B2 at concentration of 500 and 1 000 µg/ml, Zebrafish bleeding rates were 45% and 40%, the hemostatic rate was 40% and 47%, respectively, showing that experimental drug B1 was superior to B2 in terms of decreasing bleeding rate and improving hemostatic effect in zebrafish. In the equal concentration, the experimental drug B1 was superior to B2 in terms of increasing and improving the blood flow of hemorrhagic zebrafish. Promotion and improvement of motion: in equal concentration, experimental drug B1 was superior to B2 in terms of promoting the motion velocity and increasing the improving rate of motion in zebrafish.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The spleen-invigorating, qi-replenishing and blood-containing formula displays a good hemostatic effect on simvastatin-induced hemorrhage of zebrafish. It also boosts the blood flow and motion velocity in hemorrhagic zebrafish, therefore, providing an experimental basis for the treatment of syndrome of spleen failing to control blood by spleen-invigorating, qi-replenishing and blood-containing formula.</p>

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the fat emulsion tolerance in preterm infants of different gestational ages in the early stage after birth.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>A total of 98 preterm infants were enrolled and divided into extremely preterm infant group (n=17), early preterm infant group (n=48), and moderate-to-late preterm infant group (n=33). According to the dose of fat emulsion, they were further divided into low- and high-dose subgroups. The umbilical cord blood and dried blood filter papers within 3 days after birth were collected. Tandem mass spectrometry was used to measure the content of short-, medium-, and long-chain acylcarnitines.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The extremely preterm infant and early preterm infant groups had a significantly lower content of long-chain acylcarnitines in the umbilical cord blood and dried blood filter papers within 3 days after birth than the moderate-to-late preterm infant group (P<0.05), and the content was positively correlated with gestational age (P<0.01). On the second day after birth, the low-dose fat emulsion subgroup had a significantly higher content of short-, medium-, and long-chain acylcarnitines than the high-dose fat emulsion subgroup among the extremely preterm infants (P<0.05). In the early preterm infant and moderate-to-late preterm infant groups, there were no significant differences in the content of short-, medium-, and long-chain acylcarnitines between the low- and high-dose fat emulsion subgroups within 3 days after birth.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Compared with moderate-to-late preterm infants, extremely preterm infants and early preterm infants have a lower capacity to metabolize long-chain fatty acids within 3 days after birth. Early preterm infants and moderate-to-late preterm infants may tolerate high-dose fat emulsion in the early stage after birth, but extremely preterm infants may have an insufficient capacity to metabolize high-dose fat emulsion.</p>

ABSTRACT

Objective@#To explore the effects of Kudzu Root plus Cinnamon Granules (KR+C) on prostatic hyperplasia (PH) in mice.@*METHODS@#Sixty 4-week-old Kunming male mice were randomly divided into six groups: blank control, PH model, high-, medium- and low-dose KR+C, and finasteride control. All the mice except those in the blank control group were subcutaneously injected with testosterone propionate (5 mg / [kg·d]) at 7 days after surgical castration. The animals of different groups were treated intragastrically with different doses of KR+C, finasteride, and normal saline respectively for 3 weeks and then sacrificed for weighing of the prostate, calculation of the prostatic index, observation of the morphological changes in the prostate after HE staining, determination of the expressions of FGF2, Ki67 and TGF-β1 by immunohistochemistry, detection of 5α-reductase activity by ELISA, and measurement of the apoptosis index of the prostatic cells by TUNEL.@*RESULTS@#Compared with the model controls, the mice of the other groups showed significantly reduced prostatic volume (P 0.05).@*CONCLUSIONS@#KR+C can reduce the prostatic volume of PH mice by decreasing the activity of 5α- reductase, inhibiting the expressions of FGF2, Ki67 and TGF-β1, and promoting the apoptosis of prostatic cells.

ABSTRACT

AIM: To evaluate the clinical effects of dual-incision phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation combined with trabeculectomy in cataract and glaucoma patients. METHODS: To observe the visual acuity, intraocular pressure and complications for 3-12mo after surgery as a retrospective study of 65 patients ( 70 eyes ) with cataract and glaucoma. RESULTS: The visual acuity of 2 eyes was lower than 0.1, 6 eyes were ranged from 0. 1 to 0. 3, 60 eyes were from 0. 4 to 0. 8, 2 eyes were over 1. 0. The postoperative intraocular pressure of 26 eyes were effective controlled. The postoperative shallow anterior chamber occurred in 1 eye. CONCLUSION: It is an ideal treatment to take dual-incision phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation combined with trabeculectomy in cataract and glaucoma patients and it shows better effects than normal operation method.
