Objective In this research,the relationship between blood estrogen level and salivary glands of female rat was studied.Methods Thirty-two female Wister rats were randomly divided into four groups:control group,sham operation group,ovariectomized and injected estradiol benzoate group and ovariectomized group.Menopausal rat model was established by ovariectomy.By testing E2,histological examination and examing Cu,Zn-SOD expression through immunochemical staining,we studied the effects of estrogen decreasing on female rat salivary.Results Compared with control group,sham operation group,ovariectomized and injected estradiol benzoate group,a significant decrease in scrum estrogen level was observed in ovariectomized group(P

Objective:
To investigate the safety and efficacy of allogeneic CAR-T cells in the treatment of relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) .
Methods:
CAR-T cells were prepared from peripheral blood lymphocytes of HLA mismatch healthy donors. Median age was 55 (48-60) . Allogeneic cells were derived from 3 HLA haploidentical donors and 1 HLA completely mismatch unrelated donor. Four patients with RRMM were conditioned with FC regimen followed by CAR-T cell transfusion. They were infused into CART-19 (1×107/kg on day 0) and (4.0-6.8) ×107/kg CART-BCMA cells as split-dose infusions (40% on day 1 and 60% on day 2) . The adverse reactions and clinical efficacy were observed during follow-up after infusion, and the amplification and duration of CAR-T cells in vivo were monitored by PCR technique.
Results:
CAR-T cells were successfully infused in 3 of the 4 RRMM patients according to the study plan, and the infusion in one patient was delayed by 1 day due to high fever and elevated creatinine levels on day 3. The side effects included hematological and non-hematological toxicity, grade 3 hematological toxicity in 2 patients, grade 3 CRS in 1 one, grade 1 CRES in 1 one, prolonged APTT in 3 ones, tumor lysis syndrome in 1 one, mixed chimerism detected STR and clinical GVHD manifestation in 1 one. According to the efficacy criterias of IMWG, 2 patients acquired PR, 1 MR, and 1 SD respectively. Progression-free survival was 4 (3-5) weeks and overall survival was 63 (3-81) weeks. CAR T cells were amplified 2.2 (2-14) times in the patients with a median survival time of 10 (8-36) days.
Conclusions
Small sample studies suggested that GVHD may be present in the treatment of RRMM with allogeneic CAR-T cells. There were early clinical transient events after transfusion. Low amplification and short duration of CAR-T cells in vivo may be the main factors affecting the efficacy.
