Dialectical behavior therapy-based psychological intervention for woman in late pregnancy and early postpartum suffering from COVID-19: a case report / 浙江大学学报（英文版）（B辑：生物医学和生物技术）

At the end of 2019, a new form of pneumonia disease known as the corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) rapidly spread throughout most provinces of China, and the total global number of COVID-19 cases has surpassed 500 000 by Mar. 27, 2020 (WHO, 2020). On Jan. 30, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared COVID-19 a global health emergency (WHO, 2020). COVID-19 causes most damage to the respiratory system, leading to pneumonia or breathing difficulties. The confirmed case fatality risk (cCFR) was estimated to be 5% to 8% (Jung et al., 2020). Besides physical pain, COVID-19 also induces psychological distress, with depression, anxiety, and stress affecting the general population, quarantined population, medical staff, and patients at different levels (Kang et al., 2020; Xiang et al., 2020). Previous research on patients in isolation wards highlighted the risk of depressed mood, fear, loneliness, frustration, excessive worries, and insomnia (Abad et al., 2010).

Efficacy of internet-based integrated intervention on depression and anxiety symptoms in patients with COVID-19 / 浙江大学学报（英文版）（B辑：生物医学和生物技术）

Public health crises, such as the outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) since Dec. 2019, are widely acknowledged as severe traumatic events that impose threats not only because of physical concerns but also because of the psychological distress of infected patients. We designed an internet-based integrated intervention and evaluated its efficacy on depression and anxiety symptoms in patients infected by SARS-CoV-2.

Role of SIRT1 in hematologic malignancies / 浙江大学学报（英文版）（B辑：生物医学和生物技术）

Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) is a protein deacetylase, which regulates various physiological activities by deacetylating different protein substrates. An increasing number of studies have revealed critical roles of SIRT1 in different aspects of cancers including metabolism, proliferation, genomic instability, and chemotherapy resistance. Depending on the protein targets in a certain oncogenic context, SIRT1 may play a unique role in each individual blood cancer subtype. Our previous work showed that activation of SIRT1 in primitive leukemia cells of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) promotes disease maintenance. On the other hand, an SIRT1 agonist was shown to disrupt maintenance of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) stem cells and holds promise as a potential therapeutic approach. Herein, we present a concise summary of the different functions of SIRT1 in hematologic malignancies.

Simultaneous Determination of Twelve Kinds of Residual Solvents in A New Drug CBT108 By Headspace Gas Chromatography / 分析化学

A simple and sensitive method for simultaneous determination of 12 kinds of residual solvents in a new drug CBT108 was established and validated by headspace gas chromatographic technology. The rationality,accuracy and feasibility of the analytical method were verified. Under the optimized conditions, simultaneous separation and determination of 12 kinds of residual solvents, including methanol, ethanol, ether, acetone, acetonitrile, dichloromethane, n-hexane, ethyl acetate, tetrahydrofuran, heptane, toluene and carbon tetrachloride was carried out by using a DB624 capillary column(30 m×0.53 mm×3.0 μm) for separation, a flame ionization detector for detection and internal standard method for quantitation. Good linearity was obtained for 12 solvents with the correlation coefficients(R2) of more than 0.997. The limits of quantitation and detection were defined at S/N=3 and S/N=10,respectively. LOQ and LOD for 12 solvents were given as 0.024 μg/mL and 0.0072 μg/mL for methanol,0.1 μg/mL and 0.012 μg/mL for ethanol, 0.01 μg/mL and 0.005 μg/mL for ether, 0.1 μg/mL and 0.008 μg/mL for acetone, 1.025 μg/mL and 0.0615 μg/mL for acetonitrile, 0. 09 μg/mL and 0. 06 μg/mL for dichloromethane, 0. 09 μg/mL and 0.06 μg/mL for n-hexane, 0. 25 μg/mL and 0. 008 μg/mL for ethyl acetate, 0. 108 μg/mL and 0.014 μg/mL for tetrahydrofuran,0.16 μg/mL and 0.0004 μg/mL for carbon tetrachloride,0.0075 μg/mL and 0.005 μg/mL for heptane, and 0.0445 μg/mL and 0.0014 μg/mL for toluene. The adding standards recoveries for 12 residual solvents at three spiked levels were in the range of 90.96%-108.67%,with relative standard deviations of 0.1%-5.7%. This simple,high accuracy and good repeatability method is feasible for rapidly determination of 12 residual solvents in drug candidate CBT108. Meanwhile, this simple method provides a consulted value for detection of residual solvents in other medicines.

Study on molecular cytogenetic abnormalities in multiple myeloma / 中华血液学杂志

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To explore the molecular cytogenetic abnormalities in multiple myeloma (MM).</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Bone marrow plasma cells from 23 previously untreated MM patients were purified by CD138 McAb magnetic cell sorting system, and a panel of probes for interphase fluorescence in situ hybridization were used to detect the 13q14 deletion, p53 deletion and IgH gene translocation in the sorted MM cells.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Among 23 MM patients, 13q14 deletion was observed in 10 (43.5%) cases, with the positive rate of 13q14 deleted cells ranged from 79% to 96%; 14q32 translocation was observed in 11 (47.8%) cases; 13q14 deletion and 14q32 translocation were simultaneously observed in 7 (30.4%) cases; and p53 deletion was observed in none of the 23 cases.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The frequency of 13q14 deletion and IgH gene translocation in multiple myeloma are high; and the relationship between 13q14 deletion, IgH gene translocation and prognosis is worth further investigating.</p>

Fluorescence in situ hybridization identifies complex chromosomal aberrations in multiple myeloma / 中华医学遗传学杂志

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To explore the value of the technique of multiplex fluorescence in sit hybridization (M-FISH) combined with interphase fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) in the identification of the chromosomal aberrations in multiple myeloma (MM) and to investigate the frequency of 13q14 deletion, IgH translocations and 17p13 deletion.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Seven MM patients with complex chromosomal abnormalities (CCAs) were analyzed by combining the technique of conventional cytogenetics (CC) with M-FISH and FISH.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>M-FISH identified the aberrations which were undetected by CC, including twelve kinds of numeral aberrations and twenty-nine kinds of structural aberrations, In addition, abnormalities of chromosome 1, chromosomes 13 deletion and IgH translocations were the most frequent aberrations. Using the LSI D13S319 probe specific for 13q14, we observed a deletion of 13q14 in 6 MM patients; using the LSI p53 probe specific for 17p13, we observed p53 deletion in 4 MM patients; using the LSI IGHC/IGHV probe specific for 14q32, we observed a translocation involving 14q32 in 5 MM patients (43.5%), two translocations in two cases (case 6 and 7).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>M-FISH combined with FISH could refine the cytogenetics of MM patients and detect the missed abnormalities or correct the misidentified abnormalities analyzed by CC. It provides an ideal method for the research of chromosomal aberrations in MM.</p>

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To explore the effect of interferon alpha (IFN-alpha) on proliferation of human marrow fibroblasts.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Marrow fibroblasts were isolated from patients with iron deficiency anemia. Platelet derived growth factor-AB (PDGF-AB), transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1) or INF-alpha2b was added in the cell cultures each alone or in combinations. Cell proliferation and cell cycle of fibroblasts were detected by MTT and flow cytometry, respectively.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>PDGF-ABqa (1 approximately 50 ng/ml) or TGF-beta1 (0.01 approximately 1 ng/ml) could stimulate the proliferation of the fibroblasts, while PDGF-AB was more effective (P < 0.01).
