RESUMEN

The Rh blood grouping system is a critical standardized test in transfusion medicine,espe-cially for the cases related to haemolytic transfusion reactions and neonatal haemolytic disease caused by clinical RhD blood group incompatibility.In the present case report,we presented two cases with the un-common RHD gene variation RHD*DEL37.The blood samples of the two subjects were mistakenly iden-tified as RhD-negative through conventional serological testing.Firstly,both blood samples were tested negative for the RhD antigen using traditional tube test and gel microcolumn methods.The phenotyping of RhCE were identified as ccEe and ccee for each sample,respectively.Secondly,genetic analysis was performed using polymerase chain reaction-sequence specific prime(PCR-SSP)which revealed that nei-ther sample belonging to the several common RHD gene variants which was found in Asia.Moreover,they turned out to be positive for the RHD haplotype,which indicated that exons 1-10 on one of the RHD al-leles were entirely absent.In addition,a T>C mutation was observed at bases 1154-31 in intron 8 of the other allele,which was located at the intron 8 breakpoint.This result was obtained after further Sanger sequencing of exons 1-10 of the RHD gene.The mutant allele was designated as RHD*DEL37 by the International Society of Blood Transfusion(ISBT)and was identified as D-elute(Del)by phenotype ana-lysis.Both samples were genotyped as RHD*DEL37 and showed positive results.In summary,the true genotype of the two blood samples,of which the screening results only using serological testing method was negative,were RHD*DEL37/RHD-(RHD*01N.01).Notably,this kind of genotype was reported for the first time in Chinese population.Moreover,the two individuals did not have ties of consanguinity,indicating that some of the Chinese individuals could be carriers of the genetic mutation.Therefore,it might be necessary to further confirm the frequency of this mutation in the Chinese population and the possibility of homozygosity for this mutation.This report identifies infrequent RHD gene mutation samples by coupling molecular biology and serological methods to prevent misclassification of blood groups.Com-bining serological and molecular biology test results to determine blood group is critical in protecting pa-tients during clinical transfusion procedures.

RESUMEN

A derivatizaton method combined with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry(GC-MS)was established for detection of isobutyl chloroformate(IBCF)residue in active pharmaceutical ingredient of agatroban.The extraction and derivatization reagents,derivatization time,qualitative and quantitative ions were selected and optimized,respectively.The possible mechanism of derivatization and characteristic fragment ions fragmentation were speculated.The agatroban samples were dissolved and extracted by methanol,and the residual IBCF was derived with methanol to generate methyl isobutyl carbonate(MIBCB).After 24 h static derivatization at room temperature,IBCF was completely transformed into MIBCB,which could be used to indirectly detect IBCF accurately.The results showed that the linearity of this method was good in the range of 25-500 ng/mL(R2=0.9999).The limit of detection(LOD,S/N=3)was 0.75 μg/g,and the limit of quantification(LOQ,S/N=10)was 2.50 μg/g.Good recoveries(95.2%-97.8%)and relative standard deviations(RSDs)less than 3.1%(n=6)were obtained from agatroban samples at three spiked levels of IBCF(2.50,25.00,50.00 μg/g),which showed good accuracy of this method.Good precision of detection results was obtained by different laboratory technicians at different times,the mean value of spiked sample solution(25.00 μg/g)was 24.28 μg/g,and the RSD was 2.1%(n=12).The durability was good,minor changes of detection conditions had little effect on the results.Under the original condition and conditions with initial column temperature±5℃,heating rate±2℃/min,column flow rate±0.1 mL/min,the IBCF content of spiked sample solution(25.00 μg/g)was detected,the mean value of detection results was 24.16 μg/g,and the RSD was 2.2%(n=7).Eight batches of agatroban samples from two manufacturers were detected using the established method,and the results showed that no IBCF residue was detected in any of these samples.The agatroban samples could be dissolved by methanol,and then the IBCF residue could be simultaneously extracted and derived with methanol as well.This detection method had the advantages of simple operation,high sensitivity,low matrix effect and accurate quantification,which provided a new effective method for detection of IBCF residue in agatroban.

RESUMEN

Objective:To investigate the association of serum uric acid (SUA) with the outcome in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) at one year after onset.Methods:Patients with AIS admitted to the Department of Neurology, Dagang Hospital, Tianjin Binhai New Area were included retrospectively. According to the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score at 1 year after onset, patients were divided into a good outcome group (0-2) and a poor outcome group (>2). They were also divided into a survival group and a death group based on their survival status at 1 year after onset. The clinical baseline data and laboratory tests were compared. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to determine the associations of SUA with poor outcome and death in patients with AIS. Results:A total of 651 patients were enrolled, including 430 males (66.1%) aged 67.5±11.7 years. Four hundred and fourteen patients (63.6%) were in the good outcome group, and 237 (36.4%) were in the poor outcome group. There were 568 patients (87.3%) in the survival group and 43 (16.7%) in the death group. Univariate analysis showed that there were differences in age, atrial fibrillation, history of stroke or transient ischemic attack, baseline National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score, and pre-admission mRS score between the poor outcome group and the good outcome group. The homocysteine, SUA, white blood cell count, and creatinine in the poor outcome group were higher than those in the good outcome group, while the red blood cell count and hemoglobin were lower than those in the good outcome group (all P<0.05). There were differences in age, history of ischemic heart disease, atrial fibrillation, history of stroke or transient ischemic attack, baseline NIHSS score, pre-admission mRS score, and stroke etiology classification between the survival group and the death group. Hemoglobin and triglycerides in the survival group were higher than those in the death group, while the white blood cell count and creatinine were lower than those in the death group (all P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that SUA was an independent risk factor for poor outcome in patients with AIS (odds ratio 1.004, 95% confidence interval 1.001-1.006; P<0.01), but there was no independent correlation with death. Conclusion:Higher SUA is an independent risk factor for poor outcome at one year after onset in patients with AIS.

RESUMEN

Karyopherin α2 (KPNA2) , a key protein molecule that regulates the exchange of substances between the nucleus and the cytoplasm, plays an important role in the nucleocytoplasmic transport pathway. In recent years, an increasing number of studies have shown that KPNA2 is involved in a variety of cellular life activities and plays a significant part in viral infection, cell proliferation, immune response and tumor metastasis. Further study of the mechanism of KPNA2 in promoting the hepatocarcinogenesis and exploring its role in the development of liver cancer may provide new ideas for the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of liver cancer.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE To investigate the protective effect and potential mechanism of cornuside on diabetic nephropathy (DN) model mice. METHODS Male KK-Ay mice were fed with high-fat and high-sugar diet for two weeks to reproduce the DN model. The successfully modeled mice were randomly grouped into model group, aminoguanidine group (positive control,100 mg/kg) and cornuside group (100 mg/kg), and male C57BL/6J mice were included as normal group, with 6 mice in each group. Administration groups were given relevant medicine intragastrically, and normal group and model group were given a constant volume of normal saline intragastrically, once a day, for 8 consecutive weeks. The levels of fasting blood glucose (FBG), 24 h urinary protein, serum interleukin-12 (IL-12), IL-10, blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and serum creatinine (Scr) were detected; the pathological injury, fibrotic change and glomerular microstructure of renal tissue were observed; the expressions of the receptor of advanced glycation end products (RAGE), collagen type Ⅳ (COL-Ⅳ) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in renal cortex were detected in each group. RESULTS Compared with normal group, the renal cortex of mice in model group showed obvious inflammatory cell infiltration and fibrotic changes; the mesangial hyperplasia of glomerulus was serious and the basement membrane had a large number of irregular dark dense deposits; the levels of FBG and 24 h urinary protein, the serum levels of IL- 12, BUN and Scr, and the expression levels of RAGE, COL-Ⅳ and iNOS in the renal cortex were significantly increased, while the serum level of IL-10 was significantly decreased (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the renal pathological injuries, fibrotic changes and glomerular microstructure of mice in administration groups were improved significantly, and the above quantitative indexes were generally improved (P<0.05 or P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS Cornuside has a certain protective effect on DN model mice. It can inhibit the inflammatory response, reduce urinary protein excretion, and alleviate renal fibrosis, which may be related to the inhibition of the advanced glycation end products/RAGE signaling pathway.

RESUMEN

ObjectiveTo explore the clinical efficacy of Gandou decoction in treating Wilson's disease (WD) with dampness heat accumulation accompanied by rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behavior disorder (RBD). MethodFrom April 2019 to August 2023,62 patients with dampness heat accumulation type WD accompanied by RBD who met the inclusion criteria were selected from the Department of Encephalopathy at the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui University of Chinese Medicine. They were randomly divided into a control group and an observation group with 31 cases each using a computer distributor. The control group received routine copper removal treatment,while the observation group received additional treatment with Gandou decoction on the basis of the control group. Eight days was one course of treatment,totaling three courses. The scores of traditional Chinese medicine syndromes,RBD screening questionnaire (RBDSQ) scores,RBD questionnaire-Hong Kong (RBDQ-HK) scores,polysomnography (PSG) parameters,24-hour urine copper (24 h U-Cu) levels,and non-ceruloplasmin-bound copper (NCC) levels between the two groups before and after treatment were compared,and adverse reactions were observed. ResultSixty trial cases were ultimately completed,with 30 cases in each group. Before treatment,there was no statistically significant difference in various indicators between the two groups, and thus they were comparable. Compared with those before treatment,the traditional Chinese medicine syndrome scores,RBDSQ scores and RBDQ-HK scores of the two groups were significantly reduced,the 24 h U-Cu levels were significantly increased,and the NCC levels were significantly reduced (P<0.05,P<0.01). Compared with the control group, the observation group showed better improvement in traditional Chinese medicine syndrome scores, RBDSQ scores, RBDQ-HK scores, and NCC levels (P<0.05,P<0.01). Compared with those before treatment,the total sleep time (TST),sleep efficiency (SE),sleep/REM latency,the proportion of N1/N2/REM stages,arousal index (ARI),and proportion of phasic electromyographic activity (P-EMG-A) were significantly improved in both groups (P<0.05). Compared with the control group after treatment,the observation group showed more significant improvements in the proportion of TST,SE,REM stages,ARI,and P-EMG-A proportion (P<0.05). ConclusionGandou decoction can not only improve the traditional Chinese medicine syndrome of WD patients with dampness heat accumulation accompanied by RBD but also alleviate their RBD symptoms.

RESUMEN

AIM: To evaluate the efficacy of high-intensity focused ultrasound cyclo plasty(UCP)in the treatment of glaucoma and to investigate related influencing factors.METHODS: The study involved a total of 110 patients(134 eyes)who received UCP treatment between January 2019 and January 2022 at three medical centers: Tianjin Eye Aier Eye Hospital, Chongqing Aier Eye Hospital, and Chongqing Nanping Aier Eye Hospital. Patients were classified into three categories: primary angle-closure glaucoma, primary open-angle glaucoma, and secondary glaucoma. Best corrected visual acuity, intraocular pressure, and the usage of anti-glaucoma medications, etc., were recorded at 6 and 12 mo postoperatively.RESULTS: After 6 months of the UCP procedure, statistically significant differences in intraocular pressure were observed across all groups(all P&#x003C;0.05). At 12 mo postoperatively, intraocular pressure of the primary angle-closure and primary open-angle glaucoma groups showed differences(all P&#x003C;0.05). Notably, there were no significant changes in visual acuity at either the 6 or 12 mo compared to preoperative values across all patient groups(all P&#x003E;0.05). Furthermore, the study identified a statistically significant correlation between the changes in intraocular pressure at 6 mo and factors such as age, history of previous glaucoma surgery, baseline white-to-white(corneal diameter), and the extent of UCP treatment(all P&#x003C;0.05).CONCLUSION: The UCP procedure has been demonstrated to effectively lower intraocular pressure in patients with glaucoma. The efficacy appears to be influenced by variables including patient age, previous glaucoma surgery history, baseline white-to-white(corneal diameter), and the scope of UCP treatment. Importantly, UCP treatment did not adversely affect visual acuity, underscoring its favorable safety profile.

RESUMEN

Aim To investigate the dynamic time-course changes in neuronal cytoskeleton after acute ischemia and reperfusion in rats. Methods Reperfusion was performedin rats by blocking the middle cerebralarteryfor 90 min, then therats wereobserved and collected at different time points. The brain damage wasobserved by Nissl staining,and neurobehavioural function was evaluated with neurological deficit score and forelimb placement test. The cellular changes in the alternations of cytoskeletal elements including microtubule associated protein 2 (MAP2) and neurofilament heavy chain (NF-H) were observed by immunohistochemistry staining and Western blot. Impaired axons, dendrites and cytoskeletal alternations were detected by electron microscope. Results Brain damage and neurobehavioural function were gradually aggravated with the prolongation of reperfusion. Brain damage appeared earlier and more severe in striatum than in cortex. Moreover, decreased MAP2-related and increased NF-H-related immunoreactive intensities were found in the ischemic areas. Impaired cytoskeletal arrangement and reduced dense were indicated. Damaged cytoskeletal components such as microtubules and neurofilament arrangement, decreased axonal filament density, and swelled dendrites were observed after cerebral ischemia reperfusion by ultrastructural observations. Conclusions Different brain regions have diverse tolerance to ischemia-reperfusion injury. Major elements of neuronal cytoskeleton show dynamic responses to ischemia and reperfusion, which may further contribute to brain damage and neurological impairment following MCAO and reperfusion.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE To optimize ethanol extraction process of Yihuang powder. METHODS An orthogonal experiment was designed by reflux extraction with ethanol volume fraction, liquid-to-material ratio, and extraction time as investigation factors. The parameters used were the contents of hesperidin, nobiletin, tangeretin, gallic acid, chebulagic acid, chebulinic acid, liquiritin, glycyrrhizin, eugenol, and the paste-forming rate. The analytic hierarchy process (AHP) was used to calculate the comprehensive score. The optimal ethanol extraction process parameters of Yihuang powder were determined by verifying the results predicted by orthogonal experiment and genetic algorithm (GA)-back propagation neural network (BP neural network). RESULTS The optimal ethanol extraction process parameters, as optimized by orthogonal experiment, were as follows: ethanol volume fraction of 60%, liquid-solid ratio of 14∶1 (mL/g), extraction time of 90 min, and extraction for 2 times. The comprehensive score obtained by verification was 79.19. Meanwhile, the optimal ethanol extraction process parameters, optimized by GA-BP neural network, were ethanol volume fraction of 65%, liquid-solid ratio of 14∶1 (mL/g ), extraction time of 60 min, and extraction for 2 times. The comprehensive score obtained by verification was 85.30, higher than the results obtained from orthogonal experiment. CONCLUSIONS The optimization method of orthogonal experiment combined with GA-BP neural network is superior to the traditional orthogonal experiment optimization method. The optimized ethanol extraction process of Yihuang powder is stable and reliable.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND@#Oral anti-coagulants (OAC) are the intervention for the prevention of stroke, which consistently improve clinical outcomes and survival among patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). The main purpose of this study is to identify problems in OAC utilization among hospitalized patients with AF in China.@*METHODS@#Using data from the Improving Care for Cardiovascular Disease in China-Atrial Fibrillation (CCC-AF) registry, guideline-recommended OAC use in eligible patients was assessed.@*RESULTS@#A total of 52,530 patients with non-valvular AF were enrolled from February 2015 to December 2019, of whom 38,203 were at a high risk of stroke, 9717 were at a moderate risk, and 4610 were at a low risk. On admission, only 20.0% (6075/30,420) of patients with a diagnosed AF and a high risk of stroke were taking OAC. The use of pre-hospital OAC on admission was associated with a lower risk of new-onset ischemic stroke/transient ischemic attack among the diagnosed AF population (adjusted odds ratio: 0.54, 95% confidence interval: 0.43-0.68; P  <0.001). At discharge, the prescription rate of OAC was 45.2% (16,757/37,087) in eligible patients with high stroke risk and 60.7% (2778/4578) in eligible patients with low stroke risk. OAC utilization in patients with high stroke risk on admission or at discharge both increased largely over time (all P  <0.001). Multivariate analysis showed that OAC utilization at discharge was positively associated with in-hospital rhythm control strategies, including catheter ablation (adjusted odds ratio [OR] 11.63, 95% confidence interval [CI] 10.04-13.47; P <0.001), electronic cardioversion (adjusted OR 2.41, 95% CI 1.65-3.51; P <0.001), and anti-arrhythmic drug use (adjusted OR 1.45, 95% CI 1.38-1.53; P <0.001).@*CONCLUSIONS@#In hospitals participated in the CCC-AF project, >70% of AF patients were at a high risk of stroke. Although poor performance on guideline-recommended OAC use was found in this study, over time the CCC-AF project has made progress in stroke prevention in the Chinese AF population.Registration:ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT02309398.

RESUMEN

Background Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), one of the main components of fine particulate matter (PM2.5), have a certain impact on ambient air quality, and long-term exposure to PAHs may pose potential health risks to human beings. Objective To identify the distribution characteristics and sources of PAHs in atmospheric PM2.5 in a district of Taizhou City from 2019 to 2021, and to evaluate the health risks of PAHs to the population in the area through the inhalation pathway. Methods From 2019 to 2021, air PM2.5 sampling was carried out at a state-controlled surveillance point in a district of Taizhou City for 7 consecutive days on the 10th-16th of each month, the sampling time was 24 h·d−1, and the sampling flow rate was 100 L·min−1. PM2.5 mass concentration was calculated by gravimetric method. A total of 16 PAHs were determined by ultrasonic extraction-liquid chromatography. Kruskal-Wallis H test was used to compare the distribution charac teristics of PAHs concentrations by years and seasons, characteristic ratio and principal component analysis (PCA) was used to analyze their sources, and a lifetime carcinogenic risk (ILCR) model was used to assess the health risk of PAHs. Results From 2019 to 2021, the annual average concentrations [M (P25, P75)] of ∑PAHs in atmospheric PM2.5 in the selected district of Taizhou City were 6.52 (2.46, 10.59), 8.52 (4.56, 12.29), and 3.72 (1.51, 7.11) ng·m−3, respectively, and the annual benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) excess rates (national limit: 1 ng·m−3) were 27.38% (23/84), 47.62% (40/84), and 19.04% (16/84), respectively, both presenting 2020> 2019 > 2021 (P<0.001, P<0.05). The ∑PAHs concentration distribution showed a seasonal variation, with the highest value in winter and the lowest value in summer (P<0.05). Among the atmospheric PM2.5 samples, the proportion of 5-ring PAHs was the highest, the proportion of 2-3-ring PAHs was the lowest; the proportion of 2-4-ring PAHs showed a yearly upward trend, and the proportion of 5-6-ring PAHs showed yearly downward trend (P<0.05). The characteristic ratio and PCA results suggested that the sources of sampled PAHs were mainly mixed sources such as dust, fossil fuel (natural gas), coal combustion, industrial emissions, and motor vehicle exhaust emissions. The ILCR (RILCR) of PAHs by inhalation for men, women, and children were 1.83×10−6, 2.35×10−6, and 2.04×10−6, respectively, and the annual average RILCR was 2.07×10−6, all greater than 1×10−6. Conclusion For the sampled time period, the main sources of PAHs pollution in atmospheric PM2.5 in the target district of Taizhou City are dust, fossil fuel (natural gas), coal combustion, industrial emissions, motor vehicle emissions, etc., and PAHs may have a potential carcinogenic risk to local residents.

RESUMEN

@#Objective     To explore the correlation between the quantitative and qualitative features of CT images and the invasiveness of pulmonary ground-glass nodules, providing reference value for preoperative planning of patients with ground-glass nodules. Methods    The patients with ground-glass nodules who underwent surgical treatment and were diagnosed with pulmonary adenocarcinoma from September 2020 to July 2022 at the Third Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University were collected. Based on the pathological diagnosis results, they were divided into two groups: a non-invasive adenocarcinoma group with in situ and minimally invasive adenocarcinoma, and an invasive adenocarcinoma group. Imaging features were collected, and a univariate logistic regression analysis was conducted on the clinical and imaging data of the patients. Variables with statistical difference were selected for multivariate logistic regression analysis to establish a predictive model of invasive adenocarcinoma based on independent risk factors. Finally, the sensitivity and specificity were calculated based on the Youden index. Results     A total of 555 patients were collected. The were 310 patients in the non-invasive adenocarcinoma group, including 235 females and 75 males, with a meadian age of 49 (43, 58) years, and 245 patients in the invasive adenocarcinoma group, including 163 females and 82 males, with a meadian age of 53 (46, 61) years. The binary logistic regression analysis showed that the maximum diameter (OR=4.707, 95%CI 2.060 to 10.758), consolidation/tumor ratio (CTR, OR=1.027, 95%CI 1.011 to 1.043), maximum CT value (OR=1.025, 95%CI 1.004 to 1.047), mean CT value (OR=1.035, 95%CI 1.008 to 1.063), spiculation sign (OR=2.055, 95%CI 1.148 to 3.679), and vascular convergence sign (OR=2.508, 95%CI 1.345 to 4.676) were independent risk factors for the occurrence of invasive adenocarcinoma (P<0.05). Based on the independent predictive factors, a predictive model of invasive adenocarcinoma was constructed. The formula for the model prediction was: Logit(P)=–1.293+1.549×maximum diameter of lesion+0.026×CTR+0.025×maximum CT value+0.034×mean CT value+0.72×spiculation sign+0.919×vascular convergence sign. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of the model was 0.910 (95%CI 0.885 to 0.934), indicating that the model had good discrimination ability. The calibration curve showed that the predictive model had good calibration, and the decision analysis curve showed that the model had good clinical utility. Conclusion     The predictive model combining quantitative and qualitative features of CT has a good predictive ability for the invasiveness of ground-glass nodules. Its predictive performance is higher than any single indicator.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND@#Hepatic fibrosis (HF) is a common pathological feature of chronic hepatic diseases. We aimed to illuminate the significance of amniotic mesenchymal stem cells (AMSCs)-derived extracellular vesicles (AMSCs-EVs) in HF. @*METHODS@#Human AMSCs-EVs were isolated and identified. HF mice were constructed and treated with EVs. The fibrosis was observed by staining experiments and Western blot (WB) assay. Alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), total bilirubin (TBIL), and hepatic hydroxyproline (Hyp) were detected to confirm liver function.For the in vitro experiments, human hepatic stellate cells were induced with transforming growth factor-b and treated with EVs. To measure the degree of HF, the expression of alpha-smooth muscle actin (a-SMA) and Collagen I was detected by WB assay, and cell proliferation was detected by cell counting kit 8 assay. The levels of miR-200a, Zinc finger E-box binding homeobox 1 (ZEB1), and phosphoinositide-3-kinase regulatory subunit 3 (PIK3R3) were detected by WB and realtime quantitative polymerase chain reaction. The binding of ZEB1 to PIK3R3 and miR-200a to ZEB1 was analyzed by chromatin immunoprecipitation and dual luciferase assays to validate their relationships. @*RESULTS@#Human AMSCs and AMSCs-EVs were obtained. Serum ALT, AST, TBIL, and hepatic Hyp were increased, implying the fibrosis degree was aggravated in HF mice, which was decreased again after EV treatment. EVs inhibited HF degree by reducing a-SMA and Collagen I and promoting cell proliferation. AMSCs-EVs delivered miR-200a into hepatocytes, which up-regulated miR-200a expression, inhibited ZEB1 expression, and reduced its enrichment on the PIK3R3 promoter, therefore inhibiting PIK3R3 expression and alleviating HF. Overexpression of ZEB1 or PIK3R3 attenuated the anti-fibrotic effect of AMSCs-EVs. @*CONCLUSION@#Human AMSCs-derived EVs mediated miR-200a delivery and inhibition of intracellular ZEB1/PIK3R3 axis to exert anti-fibrosis effects.

RESUMEN

Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune disease of the nervous system mediated by autoimmune antibodies, dependent on T cells and involved in multiple complement. Recent years, targeted biologics have shown advantages in a number of clinical studies of myasthenia gravis. This review focuses on targeted therapy on B cells, complement, neonatal fragment crystal receptor (FcRn) and cytokine monoclonal antibodies, as well as on the latest research progress of chimeric antigen receptor T cells (CAR-T) or chimeric autoantibody receptor T cells (CAAR-T) in MG therapy, in order to provide the latest drug information for clinicians.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the therapeutic effects of Fuzheng jiedu therapy of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in the treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). METHODS Randomized controlled trials on the treatment of NSCLC with Fuzheng jiedu therapy of TCM+conventional chemotherapy (trial group) versus conventional chemotherapy (control group) were collected by searching PubMed, CBM, China Periodicals Full Text Database, VIP and Wanfang data service platform during the inception-Oct.Two researchers respectively screened the literature and extracted data, evaluated the quality according to Cochrane 5.4 tool, and used RevMan 5.3 software to perform meta-analysis on the data. RESULTS Nineteen pieces of literature were finally included in the study; meta-analysis showed disease control rate [RR=1.15, 95%CI (1.07, 1.23), P= 0.000 1], objective remission rate [RR=1.47, 95%CI (1.29, 1.67), P<0.000 01], Karnofsky performance scores [WMD=6.11, 95%CI (2.97, 9.25), P=0.000 1], the levels of immune function indexes (CD3+, CD4+, CD4+/CD8+), inflammatory factor indicators [interleukin-2 (IL-2), interferon-γ (IFN-γ)] and lung function indexes (forced vital capacity, forced expiratory volume in the first second and peak expiratory flow) in the trial group were higher than control group (P<0.05). The symptomatic score [WMD=-2.83, 95%CI (-4.42, -1.24), P=0.000 5], the levels of IL-6 [WMD=-11.20, 95%CI (-21.75,-0.64), P= 0.04], and the incidence of ADRs (myelosuppression, hepatic and renal injury, gastrointestinal reactions in trial group were all lower than control group (P<0.05). In addition, the levels of natural killer cells in the trial group were higher than the control group, but the results were not statistically significant (P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS Compared with conventional chemotherapy, Fuzheng jiedu therapy of TCM combined with conventional chemotherapy has obvious advantages in increasing the disease control rate and objective remission rate, improving the quality of life, promoting TCM syndrome and inflammatory status,enhancing immunity and lung function, and decreasing the incidence of ADRs in NSCLC patients.

RESUMEN

Objective To investigate the correlation between angiopoietin-2(Ang-2)and intestinal fatty acid binding protein(I-FABP)levels and the prognosis of acute myocardial infarction(AMI)with cardiac shock(CS).Methods A total of 198 patients with AMI admitted to Huzhou Central Hospital from July 2017 to July 2019 were selected as study objects,and were divided into CS group(n=93)and non-CS group(n=105)according to whether CS occurred during the hospital period,and 65 normal volunteers admitted for physical examination during the same period were included in control group.Patients in CS group were divided into survival group(n=50)and death group(n=43)according to their survival at 28 days.Serum Ang-2 and I-FABP levels of all subjects were detected,and Cox regression analysis was used to analyze the factors affecting the poor prognosis of AMI with CS.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to analyze the diagnostic value of Ang-2 and I-FABP in AMI with CS.Results Serum Ang-2 and I-FABP levels in CS group were significantly higher than those in non-CS group and control group(P<0.05),and serum Ang-2 and I-FABP levels in non-CS group were significantly higher than those in control group(P<0.05).Serum Ang-2,I-FABP levels and proportion of diabetes in death group were significantly higher than those in survival group(P<0.05).Cox regression analysis showed that diabetes,Ang-2 and I-FABP levels were independent factors affecting the prognosis of AMI with CS(P<0.05).ROC curve showed that the area under the curve of Ang-2 and I-FABP combined to predict the prognosis of AMI with CS was 0.819,sensitivity was 81.4%,specificity was 80.0%.Conclusion Serum Ang-2 and I-FABP levels were elevated in patients with AMI with CS,which were potential biological indicators to predict the prognosis of patients.

RESUMEN

@#Objective To investigate the role of ubiquitin binding enzyme EZT(UBE2T)in lung adenocarcinoma by integrating single-cell sequencing data with the TCGA database,in order to provide insights into the specific molecular mechanisms of UBE2T in lung adenocarcinoma.Methods Single-cell sequencing data was downloaded from the GEO database(GSE117570),and R language was used for quality control and analysis of the data.Additionally,online tools were employed to analyze lung adenocarcinoma-related data from the TCGA database.The potential target genes associated with UBE2T were identified by integrating TCGA and single-cell sequencing data.Results Differential analysis using the TCGA database successfully demonstrated that UBE2T could serve as an independent prognostic factor in lung adenocarcinoma,and it was correlated with poor patient outcomes.Integration of single-cell sequencing data revealed that UBE2T-associated genes were mainly distributed in mononuclear cells and T cells.Furthermore,analysis using the CancerSEA database suggested a close association between UBE2T and cell cycle regulation.Conclusion UBE2T may play a role in promoting the occurrence and development of lung adenocarcinoma through the regulation of the cell cycle.
