Currently, single-cell multi-omics technologies including single-cell DNA sequencing (scDNA-seq) and single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) have been used to reveal the heterogeneity of malignant tumor cells, elucidate their pathogenesis, drug resistance and recurrence mechanisms, which provide new strategies for the diagnosis and prognostic assessment of malignant tumors. This article reviews the application of single-cell sequencing technology in the diagnosis and prognostic assessment of acute leukemia based on the progress reported at the 65th American Society of Hematology Annual Meeting.

Objective To obtain the monitoring measurement range of quality indicators of red blood cells,plasma and derivatives and leukocyte-reduced apheresis platelets provided by blood stations in Hebei province,explore the distribution of monitoring values and the change of monitoring level,so as to further strengthen the homogenization construction of quality control laboratories in blood stations in Hebei.Methods In 2023,the sampling data of 12 blood stations in Hebei from 2015 to 2022 were collected,scatter plots were made and the range markers were set,and the"mean±SD"line was taken as the upper limit and lower limit of the measurement range.In 2024,the monitoring values in 2023 were added,and the changes of two measurement ranges were compared to analyze the stability and overall level.Results Comparison of the measurement range from 2015 to 2022 and the measurement range from 2015 to 2023 showed that the standard deviation of the content of deleukocyte suspension of red blood cells-hemoglobin,washed erythrocyte-hemoglobin,washed erythrocyte-su-pernatant protein,cryoprecipitate coagulation factor-FⅧ,fresh frozen plasma-FⅧ,leukocyte-reduced apheresis platelets-leukocyte residue and leukocyte-reduced apheresis platelet-red blood cell concentration decreased from 8.132 to 7.993,6.252 to 6.104,0.273 to 0.267,57.506 to 56.276,0.920 to 0.892,0.653 to 0.644 and 2.653 to 2.603,respectively.The narrowing of the standard deviation range of the above items led to more concentrated monitoring values and reduced disper-sion.Comparison of the measurement range from 2015 to 2022 and the measurement range from 2015 to 2023 showed that the mean value of leukocyte residue of the deleukocyte suspension of red blood cells,hemoglobin content of the wash eryth-rocyte,protein content of supernatant of the wash erythrocyte,hemolysis rate of the wash erythrocyte,FⅧ content of the cryoprecipitate coagulation factor,plasma protein content of the fresh frozen plasma,FⅧ content of the fresh frozen plasma,platelet content of the leukocyte-reduced apheresis platelets changed from 0.362 to 0.476,44.915 to 44.861,0.280 to 0.283,0.137 to 0.142,133.989 to 133.271,60.262 to 60.208,1.301 to 1.277 and 3.036 to 3.033,respectively,and was closer to the national standard line,which reflects an increase in the number of unqualified monitoring values or values close to the national standard line in 2023.The long-term qualified rate of coagulation items was low,and no improvement has been ob-served.The stability of biochemical items has been enhanced but overall deviation has occurred,with the average value close to the national standard line.The possibility of subsequent testing failure has increased.The counting items showed no obvi-ous common characteristics.Conclusion The use of"mean±SD"in the analysis can visually display the distribution of mo-nitoring values of different items in Hebei,forming an indicator measurement range covering the past nine years.It shows the characteristics of each item,and provides reference for subsequent quality control laboratory data analysis of each blood sta-tions to takes active measures to improve the monitoring level.

Objective:To investigate the feasibility of oblique overlap anastomosis plus single flap valvuloplasty (OSF) for reconstruction after laparoscopic proximal gastrectomy.Methods:The C-shaped seromuscular flap (2.5 × 3.5 cm), which was 2 cm from the top of the remnant stomach, was extracorporeally created on the anterior wall of the remnant stomach. The stomach was opened approximately 1.0 cm above the lower edge of the mucosal flap. Four supporting stitches were sutured around the hole and the right wall of the esophageal stump was incised with a support suture to prevent the linear stapler from entering the submucosa. Liner stapler was inclined to the left side of the esophagus at an angle of about 30 degrees to the longitudinal axis of the esophagus for oblique anastomosis between the dorsal side of the esophagus and the anterior stomach and then esophagogastrostomy was performed with the length of anastomosis was 4 cm. Entry hole was suture with 3 stitches and then the linear stapler was used for closing the entry hole. Finally, the seromuscular flap was closed using barbed sutures.Results:Clinical data of 11 patients with Siewert type II esophagogastric junction adenocarcinoma who underwent radical gastrectomy and reconstruction by OSF between January 2022 and May 2023 were retrospectively collected. There were 7 males and 4 females. The average age was (69.9±7.8) years, the BMI was (21.7±7.2) kg/m 2 and the tumor size was (2.1±0.6) cm. OSF reconstruction was successfully completed in all 11 patients. The median operative time was 275 (270-428) minutes, the time for OSF reconstruction was 112 (80-140) minutes, and the blood loss was 50 (20-400) ml. The pathological stage was 0-I in 7 cases and II-III in 4 cases. The patients were fed on the 4th day (4-7 days) and discharged from hospital on the 7th day (6-9 days) after surgery. No patient had gastroesophageal reflux symptoms of grade B and above, and no patient took anti-reflux medicine. Conclusions:OSF is a safe and feasible treatment for Siewert type II esophagogastric junction adenocarcinoma.

Multiple myeloma (MM) is a common haematologic malignancy which remains incurable. With the development of novel drugs, 80% of patients can achieve complete remission with induction therapy. Minimal residual disease (MRD) can not only be used for predicting outcomes, but also can be used as a surrogate endpoint in clinical trials. This article reviews the recent progress in MRD detection techniques, detection time points, sample selection, and MRD in forecasting prognosis and guiding individual therapy of patients with MM.

Obesity is related to many diseases,such as diabetes,hypertension,angina pectoris and arthritis,and has become an increasingly serious global public health problem.Chronic low-grade inflammation and activation of immune system are involved in pathogenesis of obesity-related insulin resistance.Insulin is only hormone that can lower blood sugar,and works through insulin signaling pathway.Under normal circumstances,interaction of pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory system maintains immune homeostasis.Dynamic balance of pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory reactions determines occurrence,development and outcome of inflamma-tion.Activation of inflammatory signaling pathways can induce insulin resistance in central and peripheral tissues,and Toll-like recep-tor 4(TLR4)signaling pathway is one of important pathways that produce pro-inflammatory responses.It has known high-fat diet is associated with chronic low-grade inflammation,which may due to saturated fatty acids activate TLR4 receptors,stimulate expression of inflammatory cytokines,and inhibit insulin signal transduction.In anti-inflammatory system,cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway(CAP)is a neuroimmunological regulation pathway,which is fast,reversible,accurate and can adapt to changes in inflammatory input signals,which is mainly composed of vagus nerve,spleen and splenic sympathetic nerve,acetylcholine and α7 nicotinic acetyl-choline receptor(α7nAChR).Activation of CAP can improve obesity-induced inflammation and insulin resistance.This review focus on obesity-mediated inflammation,CAP anti-inflammatory pathways,and their relationship with insulin resistance,in order to enrich molecular immune mechanism of insulin resistance,and provide a basis for research of anti-inflammatory diagnosis and treatment of insulin resistance-related diseases.

Epitope spreading often occurs in patients with autoimmune bullous diseases (ABDs), resulting in exposure of more antigenic epitopes, aggravation or transformation of pre-existing diseases, or concurrence of other diseases. With the increase in the immunological evidence for epitope spreading, more and more scholars have realized that epitope spreading plays an important role in the development of ABDs. This review introduces the phenomenon of epitope spreading in ABDs from 4 aspects, including the concurrence of or transformation between different types of pemphigoid, different types of pemphigus, pemphigus and pemphigoid, as well as between ABDs and other skin diseases.

The use of checkpoint-blockade antibodies is still restricted in several malignancies due to the modest efficacy, despite considerable success in anti-tumor immunotherapy. The poor response of cancer cells to immune destruction is an essential contributor to the failure of checkpoint therapy. We hypothesized that combining checkpoint therapy with natural-product chemosensitizer could enhance immune response. Herein, a targeted diterpenoid derivative was integrated with the checkpoint blockade (anti-CTLA-4) to improve immunotherapy using thermosensitive liposomes as carriers. In vivo, the liposomes enabled the co-delivery of the two drug payloads into the tumor. Consequently, the regulatory T cell proliferation was restrained, the cytotoxic T cell infiltration was enhanced, and the profound immunotherapeutic effect was achieved. In addition, the immunotherapeutic effect of another clinically used checkpoint antibody, anti-PD-1, also benefited from the diterpenoid derivative. Of note, our mechanism study revealed that the targeted diterpenoid derivative increased the sensitivity of cancer cells to immune attack via THBS1 downregulation and the resultant destruction of THBS1-CD47 interaction. Collectively, co-delivering THBS1 inhibitor and checkpoint blockade is promising to boost cancer immunotherapy. We first time discovered that THBS1 suppression could strengthen checkpoint therapy.

【Objective】 To conduct the laboratory quality assessment between 12 blood stations in Hebei province, analyze the results and explore the accuracy and comparability of testing, so as to improve the level of testing ability and quality management. 【Methods】 With reference to the external quality assessment rules of National Center for Clinical Laboratories and combined with the instructions of quality assessment samples, daily testing process of the laboratories were assessed. The quality indicators include blood cell count (WBC, RBC, Hb, HCT, MCV, MCH, MCHC and PLT), biochemical items (TP) and coagulation parameters (FIB and FⅧ). 【Results】 There are still problems in laboratories in terms of personnel operation, instrument maintenance and the impact of different reagent batches, especially in biochemical items and coagulation parameters. The pass rate of biochemical items was the lowest, only 72.75%, and that of blood cell count was the highest, reaching 98.75%. 【Conclusion】 With the progress of the project, the quality monitoring level of daily blood sampling tests in the quality control laboratory of each blood station has been improved. However, it is still necessary for each laboratory to improve the testing ability and quality management to a higher level in Hebei.

【Objective】 To form the sampling data interval by retrospectively analyzing the sampling data of quality monitoring of fresh frozen plasma, cryoprecipitates and leukocyte-free platelets in all blood stations in Hebei Province during the past 7 years. 【Methods】 The data of blood component sampling from 12 blood station quality control laboratories in Hebei from 2015 to 2021 were collected. The FⅧ content and plasma protein content of fresh frozen plasma, the FⅧ content and fibrinogen content of cryoprecipitates, and the leukocyte residuals, red blood cell mixed and platelet content of leukocyte-free platelets were taken as the objects for discrete point and fitted curve analysis. 【Results】 The FⅧ level of fresh frozen plasma: (1.36±1.1) IU/mL, 5 blood stations showed a representative overall high or low or fluctuated characteristics; Fresh frozen plasm-plasma protein items: overall mean ±SD: (61.13±16.7) g/L, four blood stations showed scattered distribution or continuous high value scattered points; Cryoprecipitates FⅧ: the overall mean ±SD: (134.25±58.7) IU/mL, four blood stations showed the differentiation characteristics of continuous high, low or stable in the middle; Cryoprecipitates-fibrinogen items: the overall mean ±SD: (215.27±83.5) mg, five blood stations showed the overall high or low and fluctuated. Leukocyte-free apheresis platelet-to-leukocyte residual items: overall mean ±SD: 0.37±0.96 (×10⁶/bag), two blood stations showed a relatively high representative overall characteristics, and the rest were concentrated between 0 and 1; The total mean ±SD of platelet-to-red blood cell mixture without leukocyte was 2.45±2.82 (×10⁹/bag), with obvious segmented concentrated distribution, and scattered distribution in 3 blood centers. Platelet content: the overall mean ±SD was 3.14±1.55 (×10¹¹/bag), many deviations were noticed in 3 blood stations, and 1 blood station showed representative overall high characteristics. 【Conclusion】 This analysis shows that the distribution status of each blood station in different items is similar. The distribution status of discrete point groups and the change trend of the concentrated part of the fitting curve show that there are some differences in the monitoring level between the quality control laboratories of each blood station, and the update of detection instruments and reagents and the selection of detection methods greatly affect the test results. The summary data presented the index interval framework formed in the past 7 years, which helped to understand the difference between the results of each laboratory, correct the accuracy of the test results, better play the guiding role of quality monitoring in the blood preparation process, and continue to enhance the standardization of the whole process of blood collection and supply in the province.
