Hematologic malignancies,such as lymphoma,myeloma,and myeloid neoplasms,can occur in extramedullary tissues.Traditional histopathological morphology and immunohistochemical staining have lim-itations,including time-consuming specimen processing,prolonged reporting cycles,and relatively low sensi-tivity in cases of limited cell numbers.Flow cytometry offers significant advantages in detecting tissue sam-ples,such as rapid processing,shorter reporting cycles,and high accuracy and sensitivity,making it an effective complement to histopathological and immunohistochemical methods.However,the application of flow cytome-try in tissue sample detection currently lacks standardized protocols for sample collection and preservation,single-cell suspension preparation,antibody panel design for limited samples,data analysis,and result repor-ting.To promote the standardized application of flow cytometry in detecting hematologic tumor cells in tissue samples,the Cell Analysis Professional Committee of the Chinese Society of Biotechnology organized experts to develop the Chinese Expert Consensus on Flow Cytometry for Detecting Hematologic Tumor Cells in Tis-sue Samples(hereinafter referred to as the Consensus).This Consensus elaborates on the technical aspects of flow cytometry for tissue sample detection,covering sample processing,antibody panel design,data analysis,reporting content,and quality management.It particularly emphasizes recommended antibody panels and data analysis methods for flow cytometry when tissue sample cell counts are low.This article aims to interpret the key points of the Consensus to facilitate its better application in clinical practice.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of deep hyperthermia combined with sintilimab and nab-PC (albumin-bound paclitaxel + carboplatin) regimen in the treatment of advanced squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with driver gene negative and programmed death-1 receptor ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression positive.Methods:A prospective case-control study was performed. A total of 84 advanced squamous NSCLC patients with driver gene negative and PD-L1 expression positive in Hebei Seventh People's Hospital from January 2020 to December 2022 were collected, and all patients were divided into the observation group and the control group according to the random number table method, with 42 cases in each group. The control group was given the treatment of sintilimab combined with nab-PC regimen, and the observation group was given deep hyperthermia on the basis of the control group. After 4 consecutive cycles of treatment, the short-term efficacy of the two groups was compared. The levels of serum tumor markers [carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCCA), cytokeratin fragment 19 (CYFR21-1)], and the positive expression rates of immunohistochemistry markers [p40, p63, and cytokeratin 5/6 (CK5/6)] before and after treatment were compared between two groups. Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Lung cancer module (FACT-L) scores, the adverse reactions and the long-term survival of the two groups were compared.Results:There were 26 males and 16 females in the observation group, and the age was (59±11) years; there were 22 males and 15 females in the control group, and the age was (58±11) years. The objective remission rate and the disease control rate were 71.43% (30/42), 90.48% (38/42), respectively in the observation group, and 50.00% (21/42), 80.95% (34/42), respectively in the control group; the objective remission rate in the observation group was higher than that in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2 = 4.04, P = 0.044); and there was no statistically significant difference in the disease control rate of both groups ( χ2 = 1.56, P = 0.212). The levels of serum CEA, SCCA and CYFRA21-1, and the positive expression rates of p40, p63, and CK5/6 in the two groups after treatment were lower than those before treatment (all P < 0.05); and the scores of physiological status, functional status, additional concern in FACT-L scores and the total score of the scale after treatment were higher than those before treatment (all P < 0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in the incidence of adverse reactions including thrombocytopenia, neutropenia, leukopenia, anemia, fever of the two groups (all P > 0.05). The median progression-free survival (PFS) time was 6.5 months (95% CI: 3.82-12.75), 5.1 months (95% CI: 3.14-12.26),respectively in the observation group and the control group, and the difference in the median PFS time was statistically significantly of both groups ( χ2 = 4.21, P = 0.040). The median overall survival (OS) time was 12.9 months (95% CI: 6.25-15.46), 9.7 months (95% CI: 4.74-13.02), respectively in the observation group and the control group, and the difference in the median OS time was statistically significantly of both groups ( χ2 = 4.43, P = 0.035). Conclusions:Deep hyperthermia combined with sintilimab and nab-PC regimen in the treatment of advanced squamous NSCLC with driver gene negative and PD-L1 expression positive can effectively reduce the serum tumor markers levels and positive expression rate of immunohistochemical markers, improve the quality of life of patients, and increase the short-term and long-term efficacy.

Objective: To investigate the causal relationship between gut microbiota and constipation using Mendelian randomization (MR) method. Methods: Genetic variation data of gut microbiota were obtained from the MiBioGen Consortium database. The genetic variation data of constipation were sourced from the IEU Open GWAS database. A forward MR analysis was performed using the inverse-variance weighted (IVW) method with 2 511 SNPs associated with gut microbiota as instrumental variables, and constipation as study outcome, and a reverse MR analysis was performed with 13 microbiota-associated SNPs as instrumental variables and gut microbiota as study outcome. The heterogeneity was assessed using the Cochran test, reverse causation of SNP were examined using MR Steiger test, and the horizontal pleiotropy was assessed using the MR-PRESSO test and MR-Egger regression. In addition, the robustness of the results was verified with the leave-one-out. Results: Forward MR analysis results showed that an increased abundance of genus Coprococcus1 driven by host genetics was associated with a decreased risk of constipation (OR=0.791, 95%CI: 0.709-0.884), and increased abundance of phylum Bacteroidetes driven by host genetics was associated with an increased risk of constipation (OR=1.240, 95%CI: 1.102-1.394). Cochran test detected no heterogeneity (both P>0.05), MR Steiger test was not revealed reverse causation of SNP, and neither the MR-PRESSO test nor the MR-Egger regression revealed horizontal pleiotropy of instrumental variables (all P>0.05), and the leave-one-out method confirmed the robustness of results. Reverse MR analysis showed no association between gut microbiota and constipation (both P>0.05). Conclusion Genus Coprococcus1 and phylum Bacteroidetes in the gut microbiota are associated with constipation.

Objective To understand the genetic basis of the adaptation of Culex tritaeniorhynchus to different environmental ecology in Jining City, Shandong Province, so as to provide insights into understanding of the population structure or isolation pattern of Cx. tritaeniorhynchus in the city. Methods Seven sampling sites were selected from urban, suburban and rural areas of Jining City, Shandong Province from June to August 2023, and mosquitoes were collected using mosquito-trapping lamps. All collected adult mosquitoes were identified morphologically. Genomic DNA was extracted from a single female Cx. tritaeniorhynchus mosquito, and the mitochondrial cytochrome C oxidase I (COI) gene was amplified using a PCR assay, sequenced and subjected to molecular identification. The number of haplotypes, haplotype diversity (Hd), nucleotide diversity (Pi), and average number of nucleotide differences (K) of Cx. tritaeniorhynchus DNA sequences were estimated among different sampling sites using the software DnaSP 6, and a neutrality test was performed. The fixation index (F_ST), and gene flow (number of migrants, Nm) of Cx. tritaeniorhynchus populations were calculated using the software Arlequin 3.5.2, and subjected to analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA). In addition, a haplotype network diagrams and a phylogenetic tree of Cx. tritaeniorhynchus populations were created using the software PopART and MEGA 11, respectively. Results A total of 420 sequences were successfully amplified from the COI gene of Cx. tritaeniorhynchus samples collected from 7 sampling sites in Jining City, and a gene fragment sequence with a length of 603 bp was obtained, with 55 variable sites and 46 haplotypes and without insertion or deletion mutations. Of the 46 haplotypes, H01 was the dominant shared haplotype, and the haplotype frequency increased gradually from urban areas (34.00%) to rural areas (47.00%). The mean Hd, Pi and K values of Cx. tritaeniorhynchus COI genes were 0.814, 0.024 and 14.129, 0.489, 0.016 and 7.941 and 0.641, 0.016 and 10.393 in suburban, urban, and rural areas, respectively, with the highest population diversity of Cx. tritaeniorhynchus in suburban areas and the lowest in urban areas. Paired F_ST analysis among different types of sampling sites showed that the mean F_ST value was 0.029 between urban and suburban areas, indicating more frequent inter-population communication. AMOVA revealed that the percentage of intra-population variation (95.74%) was higher than that of inter-population variation (4.26%). Neutrality tests showed deviation from neutrality in Cx. tritaeniorhynchus populations collected from Nanyang Township (Tajima’s D = 2.793, Fu’s Fs = 6.429, both P values < 0.05). In addition, the mismatch distribution curves of Cx. tritaeniorhynchus COI gene appeared bimodal or multimodal patterns in Jining City, indicating a relatively stable overall population size. Conclusions The mitochondrial COI gene may be used as a molecular marker to investigate the population genetic diversity of Cx. tritaeniorhynchus. The population genetic diversity of Cx. tritaeniorhynchus is higher in the suburban areas of Jining City than in rural and urban areas, and there are frequent genetic exchanges between Cx. tritaeniorhynchus populations from urban and suburban areas.

[Abstract] [Objective] To analyze the detection ability of one imported and three domestic microcolumn agglutination anti-human globulin cards in unexpected antibody screening test. [Methods] A total of 104 positive samples from antibody screening test conducted at our hospital from July to September 2022 were selected. Microcolumn agglutination antiglobulin tests were performed in parallel with antibody screening tests using one imported card (A Card) and three domestic cards (B, C and D Cards ) to analyze the differences in the sensitivity, specificity and agglutination intensity scores. [Results] The sensitivity of the four anti-human globulin cards was as follows: D card 88.51% (131/148) > C card 83.22% (124/149) > B card 81.63% (120/147) > A card 80.54% (120/149); the specificity was A card 97.79% (133/136) > B card 95.65% (132/138) > D card 95.62% (131/137) > C card 93.38% (127/136); and the average agglutination intensity score (points) was D card 214.57 > C card 191.90 > A Card 179.69 > B Card 175.83, and the H value of Kruskal-Wallis test was 7.221, with no statistically significant difference (P > 0.05). Among them, C card was prone to false positives, accounting for 3.16% (9/285), and A card was prone to false negatives, accounting for 10.18% (29/285). [Conclusion] There were differences in the detection ability of anti-human globulin cards of different manufacturers, and some domestic cards have higher detection performance than imported cards. It is recommended to use anti-human globulin cards of two manufacturers routinely in clinical practice, that is, to use cards with high detection sensitivity for antibody screening tests to avoid antibody missed detection as much as possible, and to use cards with high specificity for cross-matching blood tests to avoid delays in transfusion due to false positives, which could hinder transfusion treatment.
