Chloroplast genome sequences have comprehensive application prospects in DNA barcoding and chloroplast engineering in traditional Chinese medicine. The complete chloroplast genome of Magnolia officinalis sequenced by high-throughput pyrosequencing and a sequencing procedure was established. Fourteen contigs were obtained after de nove assembly. The sequencing percent of coverage was 99.99%. The chloroplast genome is 160 183 bp in size, and has a typical quadripartite structure with the large (LSC, 88 210 bp) and small copy (SSC, 18 843 bp) regions separated by two copies of an inverted repeat (IRs, 26 565 bp each). chloroplast genes were successfully annotated, of which 17 genes located in each IR region. The chloroplast genome features in Magnolia officinalis are nearly identical to those from other Magnoliid chloroplast genomes. Phylogenetic analyses were performed based on 81 shared coding-genes for a total of 9 Magnolia samples of 5 closely related species. Results showed that distinguishing among species was generally straightforward at the species and population level. This study confirmed the effectiveness of our chloroplast genome sequencing procedure. The chloroplast genome can provide distinguishing differences to help identify Magnolia officinalis and its closely related plants.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy of liposomal doxorubicin intensive preconditioning regimen and allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) in treatment of leukemia.Methods:The data of 20 patients with intensive preconditioning regimen allo-HSCT who were admitted to Shenzhen Second People's Hospital from January 2016 to June 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. The transplantation effect, occurrence of complications and prognosis of patients were analyzed.Results:The median time of granulocyte engraftment was 17 d (13-23 d); the median time of platelet engraftment was 22.5 d (minimum 13 d, maximum >90 d). The acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and chronic GVHD occurred in 2 cases and 1 case, respectively. Eight cases occurred hemorrhagic cystitis, 15 cases occurred Epstein-Barr viremia, 8 cases occurred cytomegaloviremia, 1 case occurred sepsis, 1 case occurred acute liver injury, and 2 cases occurred fungal pneumonia. The median follow-up time was 31.7 months (0.8-53.8 months). One patient died of intracranial infection on the 25th day after transplantation; 3 patients relapsed during the follow-up period, and 2 of them died; the other 16 patients carried 100% donor genes during the follow-up period.Conclusions:The liposomal doxorubicin intensive preconditioning regimen and allo-HSCT have a good effect on leukemia. Increasing the intensity of pretreatment does not increase the treatment-related adverse reactions. The incidence rates of Epstein-Barr viremia and cytomegaloviremia are high, but they are improved after active treatment.

Objective:To explore the efficacy and safety of in-class transition from proteasome inhibitor bortezomib to ixazomib in the treatment of newly-treated patients with multiple myeloma (MM).Methods:The clinical data of 63 newly-treated MM patients in Shenzhen Second People's Hospital from January 2018 to December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. They were divided into transition group (23 cases) and bortezomib group (40 cases). Both groups were treated with bortezomib-containing regimen as the first-line treatment regimen. In case of intolerable adverse reactions, patients in the transition group were treated with ixazomib instead of bortezomib, while the patients in the bortezomib group did not undergo drug transition. The curative effect and progression-free survival (PFS) were compared between the two groups.Results:In the transition group, the overall response rate (ORR) before in-class transition was 95.7% (22/23), the rate of ≥ very good partial remission (VGPR) was 52.2% (12/23); the ORR after transition was 95.7% (22/23), and the rate of ≥ VGPR was 82.6% (19/23). In the bortezomib group, ORR was 90.0% (36/40), and the rate of ≥ VGPR was 72.5% (29/40). There was no significant difference in ORR and the rate of ≥VGPR between the two groups ( χ2 = 0.64, P=0.424; χ2 = 0.82, P = 0.364). The median number of cycles of PI therapy in the transition group was 9, and the median PFS time was not reached. The median number of cycles of PI therapy in the bortezomib group was 7.5, and the median PFS time was 30.0 months (95% CI 19.1-40.9 months), there was no significant difference in PFS between the two groups ( P = 0.275). In the bortezomib group, 12 patients discontinued bortezomib due to adverse reactions, the median PFS time was 20.0 months (95% CI 12.6-27.4 months), and the PFS of patients who discontinued PI in the transition group and the bortezomib group was compared, the difference was statistically significant ( P = 0.043). In the transition group, 21 patients (21/23, 91.3%) developed peripheral neuropathy, and the incidence of ≥grade 3 adverse reactions was 13.0% (3/23); in the bortezomib group, 22 patients (22/40, 55.0%) developed peripheral neuropathy, and the incidence of ≥grade 3 adverse reactions was 12.5% (5/40). Conclusions:For newly-treated MM patients, the transition from bortezomib to ixazomib can improve the depth of remission and reduce the recurrence caused by the discontinuation of PI.

Objective:To explore the effects of prenatal dexamethasone (DEX), postnatal pulmonary surfactant (PS) and respiratory support on the lung fluid clearance in premature rabbits at gestational age (GA) of 25-28 d (full term: 31 d) and their relationship with dynamic compliance of respiratory system (Cdyn), pulmonary morphology and other parameters.Methods:In our previous publications, premature rabbits were divided into four groups according to the intervention strategy: control group, PS-only group, DEX-only group and DEX+PS group in which data of several parameters including wet-to-dry lung weight ratio (W/D), Cdyn and volume density of alveoli (Vv) were retrieved and the lung tissue sections were scanned to recalculate the ratio of perivascular sheath to vascular sectional area (S/V) and lung injury scores-edema (LIS-E). W/D, LIS-E, S/V and Vv were adjusted for birth weight (BW) (divided by BW, represented as W/D/BW, LIS-E/BW, S/V/BW and Vv/BW) and mean Cdyn (Cdyn-m) was adopted. Based on the grouping of previous studies, the intervention groups in this study were divided as DEX group and non-DEX group, and PS group and non-PS group to analyze the influence of DEX and PS on the above parameters. Two independent samples t-test, one-way analysis of variance, LSD test, Kruskal-Wallis H test, Mann-Whitney U test and Pearson correlation analysis were used for statistical analysis. Results:A total of 196 newborn rabbits receiving mechanical ventilation after birth were included in this study. (1) Effects of DEX: compared with the non-DEX group, the DEX group showed increased W/D/BW (489±69 vs 421±113, t=-2.09), LIS-E/BW (188±57 vs 138±55, t=-2.61) and Vv/BW (20.1±4.9 vs 14.2±4.7, t=-3.60), but decreased S/V (0.33±0.23 vs 0.51±0.25, t=2.23) and S/V/W/D (0.05±0.03 vs 0.07±0.04, t=2.22) at 25 d of gestation; at 26 d of gestation, W/D/BW (472±76 vs 303±44, t=-8.75), LIS-E/BW (189±63 vs 106±36, t=-5.23), Cdyn-m [(0.16±0.07) vs (0.05±0.03) ml/(kg?cmH 2O), 1 cmH 2O=0.098 kPa; t=-7.29] and Vv/BW increased (22.4±5.0 vs 12.2±3.8, t=-7.46), while S/V (0.23±0.19 vs 0.62±0.38, t=4.10), S/V/BW (15.7±12.4 vs 25.7±17.3, t=2.20), S/V/W/D (0.03±0.03 vs 0.08±0.05, t=3.92) and propensity scores decreased [(12.5±1.2) vs (15.1±1.2) scores, t=7.00]; at 27 d of gestation, Cdyn-m increased [(0.23±0.12) vs (0.16±0.07) ml/(kg?cmH 2O), t=-2.43], but S/V (0.32±0.23 vs 0.57±0.39, t=2.57) and S/V/W/D decreased (0.05±0.04 vs 0.09±0.06, t=2.55); at 28 d of gestation, W/D/BW (270±64 vs 162±33, t=-8.09), LIS-E/BW (72±32 vs 35±20, t=-5.17), S/V (0.90±0.60 vs 0.59±0.48, t=-2.81), S/V/BW (34.0±23.6 vs 15.2±12.7, t=-3.77) and Vv/BW increased (16.9±4.3 vs 9.2±2.9, t=-8.04); the differences were all statistically significant (all P<0.05). (2) Effects of PS: compared with the non-PS group, the PS group had decreased LIS-E/BW at 25, 26 and 27 d of gestation, increased Cdyn-m and Vv/BW at 25 and 27 d of gestation and higher propensity scores at 25 d of gestation (all P<0.05). (3) The correlation between gestational age and each index: gestational age was positively correlated with S/V ( r=0.31, P<0.05), but negatively correlated with W/D/BW and LIS-E/BW ( r=-0.73 and-0.63, both P<0.05). Conclusions:The pharmacological action of prenatal DEX on lung fluid clearance is mainly confined to preterm rabbits at the GA of 28 d which is supported by mechanical ventilation. Prenatal treatment with DEX and/or postnatal PS can improve the early respiratory function in preterm rabbits between GA of 25-27 d, but had no substantial impact on lung fluid clearance. The GA-related lung maturation appears to play a crucial role, in comparison with medications, in lung fluid clearance.
