Successful treatment of acute leukemia by secondary transplantation after the first haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation failure / 器官移植

Objective To evaluate the feasibility of secondary transplantation for patients with acute leukemia after failure of the first haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Methods Two acute leukemia patients underwent the first haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation from two donors with thalassemia, and the number of collected CD34+ cells was 2.57×106/kg and 1.99×106/kg per donor, respectively. The first haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation failed. Secondary transplantation was performed from two non-thalassemia donors, and the number of collected CD34+ cells was 4.28×106/kg and 5.75×106/kg per donor, respectively. A reduced-intensity conditioning regimen consisting of fludarabine (Flu), busulfan (Bu) and antithymocyte globulin (ATG) was adopted for the secondary transplantation. Results For two recipients, the time of secondary transplantation of neutrophil and platelet was +12 d and +10 d, +10 d and +10 d, respectively. Up to the final follow-up (+1 062 d and +265 d after secondary transplantation), the primary diseases of both two recipients have been completely relieved without evident post-transplantation complications. Conclusions Secondary transplantation with reduced-intensity conditioning regimen may successfully treat acute leukemia after failure of the first haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

Methods:A total of 120 patients with acute coronary syndrome who received treatment in Shulan (Hangzhou) Hospital from January 2021 to December 2021 were included in this study. They were randomly divided into a control group and a study group ( n = 60/group). The control group was treated with antiplatelet drugs clopidogrel and aspirin. The study group was treated with clopidogrel, aspirin and Guanxinning tablets in combination. All patients were treated for 3 months. The levels of blood lipids (high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, total cholesterol, triglyceride, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol), C-reactive protein, tumor necrosis factor-α, endothelin-1, and vascular endothelial growth factor measured before and after treatment as well as the incidence of adverse reactions were compared between the two groups. Results:After treatment, serum levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, total cholesterol, and triglyceride in each group were significantly decreased compared with those measured before treatment (all P < 0.05). After treatment, serum level of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol in each group was significantly increased compared with that measured before treatment ( P < 0.05). After treatment, serum levels of total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and triglyceride in the control group were (4.36 ± 1.01) mmol/L, (3.02 ± 0.28) mmol/L, and (1.98 ± 0.12) mmol/L respectively which were significantly higher than (3.98 ± 1.05) mmol/L, (2.52 ± 0.42) mmol/L, (1.58 ± 0.23) mmol/L in the study group ( t = -2.02, -7.67, -11.94, all P <0.05). Serum level of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol in the control group was significantly lower than that in the study group [(1.26 ± 0.08) mmol/L vs. (2.36 ± 0.16) mmol/L, t = 47.63, P < 0.001). After treatment, serum levels of C-reactive protein and endothelin-1 in the control group were (5.62 ± 0.56) mg/L and (86.24 ± 12.68) pg/L, respectively, which were significantly higher than (4.32 ± 0.82) mg/L and (75.26 ± 12.46) pg/L in the study group, ( t = -10.14, -4.78, both P < 0.001). After treatment, serum levels of tumor necrosis factor-α and vascular endothelial growth factor in the control group were (5.62 ± 0.56) mg/L and (76.28 ± 13.52) pg/L, which were significantly lower than (8.76 ± 1.06) mg/L and (86.32 ± 13.46) pg/L in the study group ( t = 20.23, 4.08, both P < 0.05). The incidence of adverse reactions in the study group was significantly lower than that in the control group [5.00% (3/60) vs. 8.33% (5/60), χ2 = -0.54, P > 0.05).

Microorganisms in the typical anaerobic digestion system of organic solid wastes: a review / 生物工程学报

The facultative anaerobic and strict anaerobic microorganisms enriched and acclimated during the anaerobic digestion process are crucial for the efficiency of the anaerobic digestion system. Most of the problems encountered during running anaerobic digestion processes could be effectively improved via stimulation of microbial metabolic activity. Benefited from the rapid development of microbiome techniques, deeper insights into the microbial diversity in anaerobic digestion systems, e.g. the microbe-microbe interactions and microbe-environment interactions, have been gained. A complex and intricate metabolic network exists in the anaerobic digestion system of solid organic wastes. However, little is known about these interactions and the underlying mechanisms. This review briefly summarized the representative interactions between microbial communities during anaerobic digestion process discovered to date. In addition, typical issues encountered during the anaerobic digestion of solid organic wastes and how microbes can tackle and alleviate these issues were discussed. Finally, future priorities on microbiome research were proposed based on present contribution of microbiome analysis in anaerobic digestion system.

Objective:To explore the mechanism and regulatory effects of melatonin on UVB-induced melanin synthesis in human immortalized keratinocytes (HaCaT), so as to provide a theoretical basis for the skin protection of melatonin.Methods:HaCaT cells were pretreated with 10 -5 mol/L melatonin and then irradiated with 80 mJ/cm 2UVB. The melanin content was detected by NaOH assay, the proportion of premature senescence cells was detected by β-galactosidase staining kit, and the protein expression levels of both p53 and tyrosinase (TYR) were detected by Western blot at 72 h after UVB exposure. After 12 h pretreatment of ATM/ATR inhibitor, p53 inhibitor and melatonin, the proportion of premature senescence and the change of melanin content in HaCaT cells were detected at 72 h after 80 mJ/cm 2 UVB irradiation. Results:Melatonin inhibited UVB-induced increases of melanin content ( t=56.65, 13.39, P<0.05) and TYR expression ( t=16.46, P<0.05) in HaCaT cells. Melatonin alleviated UVB-induced premature senescence ( t=7.139, P<0.05) and inhibited UVB-induced increase of p53 expression ( t=19.08, P<0.05) in HaCaT cells. In addition, ATM/ATR inhibitor, p53 inhibitor and melatonin all inhibited UVB-induced increase of melanin content in HaCaT cells. Conclusions:Melatonin inhibits TYR-mediated melanin synthesis by regulating p53-related premature senescence in HaCaT cells after UVB irradiation.

Incidence of acute kidney injury following cardiac surgery and related risk factors in 4 878 patients / 中华肾脏病杂志

Objective:To investigate the incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) following cardiac surgery and related risk factors in 4 878 patients.Methods:The information from patients who underwent cardiac surgery through March 2015 to October 2015 was collected retrospectively from the electronic database of Beijing Anzhen Hospital. A total of 4 878 patients were divided into AKI group and non-AKI group according to whether AKI occurred within 7 days after cardiac surgery. The incidence of AKI was calculated, and the AKI incidence in different types of cardiac surgeries were compared. Clinical data such as baseline clinical information, operation information, comorbidity, hospital stay time, life ability score in discharge from the hospital, and so on, were compared between AKI group and the non-AKI group using univariate analysis. Risk factors for AKI following cardiac surgery were analyzed using the binary multivariate logistic regression.Results:A total of 933 patients suffered from AKI (19.1%) following cardiac surgery. The time of stay in the hospital was longer in AKI group than that in the non-AKI group [(14.4±8.9) vs (13.7±7.7) d, P<0.05)]. The incidence of AKI in different types of cardiac surgeries varied significantly ( P<0.001). The logistic regression analysis showed that male, diabetes, hypertension, the elevated basic serum creatinine, cardiac dysfunction (NYHA grade≥Ⅲ), cardiopulmonary bypass, a combination of operations≥3, the rethoracotomy exploration and hemostasia, and using an invasive ventilator for over 96 hours were the independent risk factors for the AKI following cardiac surgery (all P<0.05), and the odds ratio (95% confidence interval) were 1.81(1.46-2.24), 1.29(1.03-1.62), 5.85(4.73-7.22), 1.81(1.36-2.40), 4.49(3.60-5.60), 1.84(1.49-2.27), 23.24(18.25-29.59), 2.34(1.45-3.77) and 1.94(1.09-3.43) respectively. Conclusions:The incidence of AKI after cardiac surgery in Beijing Anzhen Hospital is 19.1%. AKI following cardiac surgery prolongs the time of stay in the hospital. Independent risk factors for AKI following cardiac surgery are multiple, and one of the most critical factors is a combination of operations≥3.

Earlier renal fibrosis aggravates acute kidney injury induced by ischemia reperfusion in mice / 中华肾脏病杂志

Objective To investigate the influence of earlier renal fibrosis on ischemia and reperfusion induced acute kidney injury. Methods Male C57BL/6 mice at eight to twelve weeks old age were divided into 4 groups randomly: (1)Sham (n=3); (2)Unilateral ureter obstruction (UUO, n=6):UUO for 3 days (UUO3d, n=3) and UUO for 5 days (UUO5d, n=3);(3)Ischemia and reperfusion (IR, n=7): bilateral kidney ischemia for 40 minutes followed by 24 hours of reperfusion; (4)UUO for 3 days plus IR (UUO3d+IR, n=6): bilateral kidney ischemia after UUO 2 days for 40 minutes followed by 24 hours of reperfusion, and the real time for UUO was 3 days. Pathologic analysis for acute or chronic injury was performed on paraffin embedded kidney sections with hematoxylin and eosin (HE) or Masson staining. Apoptosis was detected by immunohistochemistry(IHC) and Western blotting with anti-caspase-3 antibody, and proliferation was observed by IHC with anti-ki67 antibody. Results On kidney sections with HE or Masson staining, it showed that the chronic kidney lesions and fibrosis got more severe as time of UUO prolonged from 3 days to 5 days; the area of matrix deposition increased in UUO5d and UUO3d mice significantly compared to Sham mice (P<0.05) and was smaller in UUO3d mice compared with UUO5d mice obviously (P<0.05). Acute kidney injury could be observed in UUO3d+IR mice, such as massive inflammatory cells infiltration, tubules dilation, brush border disappearance, tubular epithelial cells vacuolar degeneration, necrosis, casting formation, coexisting with chronic lesions: thinner cortex, broadened interstitial space, and increased blue stained matrix. Acute kidney injury score in UUO3d+IR mice was higher than that in IR mice significantly (P<0.05), and serum creatinine level increased significantly in UUO3d+IR mice compared to Sham mice (P<0.05). Caspase-3 expression increased and ki67 positive tubular cells decreased in UUO3d+IR mice than those in IR mice obviously (P<0.05). Conclusion Earlier renal fibrosis aggravates acute kidney injury induced by ischemia reperfusion in mice through increasing apoptosis and decreasing proliferation of tubular epithelial cells.

Effect of vein pump injection of epinephrine on serum potassium during gastric cancer radical surgery / 实用医学杂志

Objective To investigate vein pump injection of epinephrine on the effect of serum potassium during gastric cancer radical surgery. Method Forty patients with ASA grade Ⅱ~Ⅲ underwent surgery within a time limit of gastrointestinal under general anesthesia. All patients were randomly divided into the experimental group and the control group.Patients in the experimental group received continuous intravenous injections of adren-aline[0.03 to 0.1 μg/(kg·min)].Patients in the control group received equal dose of saline.Potassium concentra-tions at different time points were determined and compared between patients in two groups. Results No signifi-cant differences were observed in gender and age distribution of patients in the experimental group and the control group. Compared with the control group,potassium concentration was significantly decreased in patients at T3mo-ment(30 min pump injection of norepinephrine)(P<0.05),but was lower than that of patients in the experimen-tal group at T1moment(before anesthesia)(P<0.05).Compared with the control group,potassium concentration was significantly increased in the experimental group at T4moment(pump adrenaline injection for 10 min)(P <0.05),which was also significantly higher than that in the experimental group at T1moment(P < 0.05). Mean-while,compared with the control group,potassium concentration was also significantly increased in the experimen-tal group at T5moment(stop the pump adrenaline injection for 30 min),which was also significantly higher than that in the experimental group at T1moment(P < 0.05). Conclusions Intravenous injection of adrenaline can reduce potassium concentration in patients received gastrointestinal surgery,and potassium concentration can be increased after adrenalin injection was stopped.
