Objective To compare the clinic value of uterine artery embolism (UAE) and total hysterectomy (TH) for intractable postpartum hemorrhage. Methods 15 cases of intractable postpartum hemorrhage were performed UAE and other 17 cases of intractable postpartum hemorrhage were performed HE in our hospital during 10 years. Two groups' preoperative preparation time, operation time and the hospitalization time were compared. Results The preoperative preparation time (26.2±1.6) min of UAE was significantly longer than TH group (13.5±1.4) min (P<0.01; the former group's average operation time was (47.8±16.2) min, and the latter group's was (100.6±18.7) min (P<0.01); the hospitalization time of UAE (6.1±0.1) days was significantly shorter than TH group (8.8±0.5) days)(P<0.01). Conclusion With short operation time, low morbidity rate and possibility of preserving reproductive function, UAE is proved to be very effective in the treatment of intractable postpartum hemorrhage, but in some cases, UAE can't replace TH yet.

Objective:To clone and express the gene of ovomucoid,which is the main allevgen in egg white.Methods:Using total RNA of chicken oviduct as template,the gene of ovomucoid was amplified by RT-PCR.The homology was analyzed by comparision with the sequence in GeneBank.Subsequently,the PCR product of the ovomucoid gene was cloned into prokaryotic expressing vector pET-28a and was expressed by the challenge of IPTG.Results:The whole gene of ovomucoid,one of the main allergens in egg white,was successfully cloned.The cloned ORF sequence contains 633 bp,including stop codon,encods for 210 amino acids.Sequence analysis shows that the ovomucoid gene displays 99% nucleotide identities with the published sequences.The molecule weight of ovomucoid protein obtained was 21 kD.By the challenge of IPTG,SDS-PAGE analysis showed that the ovomucoid gene was overexpressed in E.coli BL21(DE3).Conclusion:The gene of ovomucoid is cloned and overexpressed in E.coli BL21(DE3).This study will be the basis for the further research.

Objective:To evaluate the long-term efficacy and safety of B cell maturation antigen(BCMA)-chimeric antigen receptor-T(CAR-T)cells in the treatment of recurrent/refractory multiple myeloma(R/R MM).Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 20 patients with R/R MM who received BCMA CAR-T-cell therapy at The First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University between July 2018 and July 2023.The follow-up period was up to December 31,2023.Overall survival and progression-free survival(PFS)rates were eval-uated using Kaplan-Meier analysis,and adverse effects were recorded.Results:Of all 20 cases with R/R MM,the median number of previ-ous treatment lines was three(range:two to six),total objective response rate(ORR)was 75%,and complete response(CR)rate was 50%.The median follow-up duration was 29 months,with a median PFS of 26 months.Among ten patients with CR,five were still in remission at the last follow-up,with the shortest duration of remission being 6 months and the longest being 48 months.In the subgroup analysis,PFS was significantly worse in patients with extramedullary infiltration,high tumor burden,and 17p deletion high-risk cytogenetic features(P<0.05).Cytokine release syndrome(CRS)was the most common(90%)adverse event,and it was mostly mild,with an incidence rate of grade 3 or higher of 35%.Few long-term adverse effects occurred and no CAR-T cell treatment-related deaths were observed.Conclusions:BCMA CAR-T-cell therapy was effective and safe for patients with R/R MM.Patients with extramedullary diseases and high tumor burden can also benefit from this treatment;however,their persistent response is not satisfactory.It is worth exploring the differences and design-ing prospective clinical studies to consolidate and maintain the efficacy in these patients.
