Objective To investigate the systemic effects of Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection by comparing differential counts of leukocytes in peripheral blood and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels before and after eradication of Hp. Method A total of 158 Hp-positive patients underwent eradication by standard one-week triple therapy were divided into Hp eradicated group(n = 108) and Hp non-eradicated group(n = 50),the populations of peripheral blood leukocytes and CRP levels before and 0 (just after therapy),1 and 12 months after eradication were retrospectively analysed. Results In the eradicated group,blood leukecytes,neutrophils and monocytes decreased significantly after eradication,and the CRP levels were significantly lower than the levels before treatment (P < 0.05 ),but there was no significant change in eosinophils,basophils and lymphecytes (P > 0.05).In the non-eradicated group,there was no significant change in any studied pa-rameter (P > 0.05). Conclusion These findings suggest that Hp infection increase blood leukocytes,neu-trophil and monocyte counts in the peripheral blood and CRP levels,which indicates a significant role of Hp infection in systemic disorders.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between neutrophil chemotactic function and chemokine receptor in the early stage of deep second- and third-degree burns.Methods:Twenty patients with severe burns (burn group) who received treatment within 6 hours after burns in Yantai Yeda Hospital from January 2019 to June 2020 were included in this study. Twenty healthy controls (healthy group) who concurrently received physical examination in the same hospital were also included. The general data and laboratory examination indexes in each group were analyzed. The correlation between neutrophil chemotactic function and chemokine receptor was evaluated.Results:There were no significant differences in general data between the two groups (all P > 0.05). At 1, 3 and 5 days after admission, the number of neutrophils, the number of white blood cells, and procalcitonin, C-reactive protein, interleukin-6, interleukin-10, and tumor necrosis factor-α levels in the burn group were significantly higher than those in the healthy control groups ( F = 12.56, 13.45, 15.78, 17.83, 22.56, 13.39, 10.82, all P < 0.05). At 1, 3 and 5 days after admission, neutrophil migration distance in the burn group was (1 510.22 ± 108.45) μm, (1 380.90 ± 115.67) μm, (1 026.10 ± 95.48) μm, respectively, which were significantly shorter than (1 944.67 ± 139.20) μM in the healthy control group ( t = 23.44, 25.67, 27.52, all P < 0.05). At 5 days after admission, chemokine receptors 1 and 2 positive rates in the burn group were (47.40 ± 1.76)% and (75.33 ± 2.42)%, respectively, which were significantly lower than (95.24 ± 4.89)% and (97.78 ± 2.10)% in the healthy control groups ( t = 4.92, 5.67, both P < 0.05). Correlation analysis showed that neutrophil migration distance was positively correlated with chemokine receptor expression in patients with deep second- and third-degree burns ( r = 0.72, 0.61, both P < 0.05). Conclusion:Neutrophil chemotactic function and chemokine receptor expression decrease in the early stage of deep second- and third-degree burns.

Objective We systematically analyze the changes in the count and function of platelet at the early sepsis based on clinical study and single cell sequencing.Methods Clinical data of sepsis patients at the early stage were collected and had been compared between different prognostic groups in the prospective case-control study.The independent risk factors of death were analyzed by logistic regression,and the predictive efficacy of clini-cal indicators was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve.The healthy volunteers and sepsis patients were recruited.Clinical researchers collected peripheral venous blood samples for sorting cell samples to carry out single-cell RNA sequencing(sc-RNA seq).Through bioinformatics techniques,we analyzed the changes in platelet count,the significantly differential-expressed genes and its enriched functional signaling pathways in the early stages of sepsis.Results(1)A total of 224 patients were enrolled,with a 90 day survival rate of 70.5%.Compared with the survival group,the count of platelet and MAP in the death group at the early stage of sepsis were significantly lower,but the plasma lactate content and SOFA score were significantly higher.(2)Based on single cell sequencing technology,cells are annotated as six groups.The proportion of innate immune cells(neutrophils,monocytes,and dendritic cells)was significantly increased in the early stage of sepsis compared to the healthy volun-teers(2.15∶1),while platelets significantly decreased(0.31∶1).(3)Through bioinformatics technology,CD41/CD42a/CD61 was identified as platelet specific molecules,with significantly increased expression levels in sepsis.Three molecules can distinguish platelets together.(4)771 genes were significantly upregulated and 1101 genes were significantly downregulated in platelets of patients with sepsis,including core molecules involved in physiological functions such as cell adhesion,chemotaxis,and immune response.Functional analysis suggests that differentially expressed genes are enriched in coagulation,immune functions and cell death,participating in oxidative phosphory-lation,leukocyte chemotaxis,iron death,and NOD like receptor signaling pathways.Conclusion Reduced platelet count is associated with poor prognosis in the early stage of sepsis.The specific high expression molecules CD41/CD42a/CD61 that are significantly upregulated in platelets can serve as biomarkers for platelets.Platelets not only mediate cell adhesion and coagulation cascade,but also participate in functional changes such as immune cell chemotaxis,inflammatory response,and the pathological death of inflammatory cells.

Objective:To explore the clinical effects of chimeric perforator flaps in repairing wounds with bone or internal fixation exposure and wounds with osteomyelitis.Methods:This study was a retrospective observational study. From January 2018 to December 2022, 20 patients with wounds with bone or internal fixation exposure and wounds with osteomyelitis who met the inclusion criteria were admitted to Beijing Jishuitan Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University, including 19 males and 1 female, aged from 21 to 73 years. Among the 21 wounds, there were 5 wounds with bone exposure, 12 wounds with osteomyelitis, and 4 wounds with internal fixation exposure. After the debridement in the first stage, the wound area was 6 cm×3 cm to 22 cm×10 cm. Then vacuum sealing drainage was carried out for 5 to 7 days. In the second stage, the wounds were covered with pedicled chimeric medial sural artery perforator flap, pedicled chimeric posterior tibialis artery perforator flap, free chimeric perforator flap pedicled with descending branch of lateral circumflex femoral artery, free chimeric medial sural artery perforator flap or free chimeric deep circumflex iliac artery perforator flap with incision area of 7 cm×5 cm to 25 cm×12 cm. The chimeric muscle flap was used to fill and cover irregular deep cavities. The wounds in the flap donor sites were sutured directly or repaired with medium-thickness skin grafts from the thigh. The survival of flap and the healing of wound in flap donor site were observed after operation. The recurrence of infection was followed up.Results:Among the 18 free chimeric perforator flaps, 16 flaps survived successfully; one flap experienced a venous crisis on the day of surgery and survived completely after emergency exploration and re-anastomosis; another one flap had partial distal necrosis, which healed after dressing changes. All the wounds in the flap donor sites healed evenly. All 3 pedicled chimeric perforator flaps survived; one of them developed sub-flap infection but healed after debridement and bone cement placement. The wound in the donor site of 1 flap developed incision dehiscence, which healed successfully after redebridement and suturing. The donor site wounds of the rest 2 flaps healed well. During 3 to 12 months of follow-up, the patients with wounds with bone or internal fixation exposure showed no signs of abnormal exudation or infection, and no infection recurrence was observed in patients with wounds with osteomyelitis.Conclusions:The application of chimeric perforator flaps is effective in covering wounds, filling dead spaces, and controlling infection in wounds with bone or internal fixation exposure and wounds with osteomyelitis. Moreover, this method minimizes the damage to the donor site.

Objective:To analyze the genetic landscape of multiple fusion genes in patients with de novo acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and investigate the characteristics of immunophenotypes and mutations.Methods:The results of multiple fusion genes from 4192 patients with de novo AML were retrospectively analyzed from 2016 to 2020. In addition, the immunophenotypical data and the mutational results from high-through put method were statistically investigated and correlated as well.Results:①Among the 52 targets, 29 different types of fusion genes were detected in 1948 patients (46.47%) with AML, which demonstrated an "exponential distribution" . ② As the age increased, the number of patients with fusion gene increased first and then decreased gradually. The total incidence rate of fusion genes and MLL rearrangment in children were significantly higher than those in adults (69.18% vs 44.76%, 15.35% vs 8.36%) . ③The mutations involving FLT3 and RAS signaling pathway contributed most in patients with MLL rearrangment. ④No specific immunophenotypic characteristics were found in AML patients with MLL or NUP98 rearrangements. Conclusion:Nearly half of AML patients were accompanied by specific fusion gene expression, the proportions of different fusion genes in pediatric and adults patients were different by multiple PCR. The gene mutations and immunophenotype of these AML patients have certain rules.
