Objective This study evaluates the effectiveness for using acute plateletpheresis (APP) as a blood conservation method to reduce the need of blood transfusion and increase coagulation function in aortic arch surgery with deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (DHCA ). Methods Thirty-six type-A aortic dissections patients (male 31,female 5,age 23-65 years,ASA physical status II-IV)undergoing frozen elephant trunk with total arch replacement (Bentall plus Sun's surgery)were enrolled in the prospective randomized trial.The patients were randomized into two groups:regular blood conservation group (group control,n = 18)and group APP (n = 18).Blood sample was collected respectively after anesthesia induction (T1 ),before heparinization (T2 ),by the end of surgery (T3 )and 24 hours after surgery (T4 ).Data was collected and reviewed in terms of perioperative transfusion needs,normal laboratory examination,clinical outcomes including blood routine analysis (Hb,Plt,MPV,P-LCR)and thrombelastography (TEG-R,TEG-K,TEG-α,TEG-A,TEG-MA,TEG-EPL).Kaolin and heparinase detections were performed for TEG.Results Com-pared with T1 ,TEG-R,TEG-K,TEG-A,TEG-MA,TEG-EPL and Plt were significantly decreased while TEG-CI,MPV,P-LCR significantly increased in T4 in group APP (P <0.05 ).TEG-A,TEG-MA and Plt were significantly greater(P <0.05)in group APP than in group control at T2 ,and TEG-K,TEG-ELP and HBG were significantly less (P <0.05)in group APP than in group control at T3 . Conclusion The utilization of APP technique was associated with the improved coagulation function in aortic arch surgery with DHCA.

Objective To explore the relationship between the proliferation of neural stem cells (NSCs)and the expression of β-catenin protein in neonate rats with hypoxic ischemic brain damage (HIBD) after hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy. Methods One hundred and eighty Sprague-Dawley rats aged 7 days were randomly divided into a normal control group (CON) , a HIBD model group and a HBO treatment group. The HIBD model was induced using Rice's method. Beginning 3h after the HIBD, HBO was administered to the HBO treatment group at 2 atmospheres for 60 min, once daily for 7 days. The HIBD model group was not given any treatment. The expression of nestin/β-catenin protein in the subventricular zone of the ischemic brain was double-stained for immunofluorescence and analyzed by confocal scanning microscopy dynamically at 3 hours, 21 hours, and then on the 3rd, 5th, 7th and 14th day of HBO therapy. The expression of whole cell β-catenin and nuclear β-catenin protein in the left brain were also examined by Western blotting at these 6 time points. Linear correlation was used to analyze the correlation between β-catenin and nestin protein. Results The expression of β-catenin protein in NSCs increased initially at the 21st hour after HBO therapy in the model group and the HBO group as compared with the normal control group.β-catenin protein in the model group reached a higher level, though there was no significant difference between model group and the HBO group. At the 5th day of HBO therapy β-catenin protein in the HBO group had reached a significantly higher level than in the model group. At the 14th day the average expression of β-catenin in the HBO group began to decrease. The expression of nestin protein began to increase 21 hours after HBO therapy began, and it peaked at the 7th day of HBO therapy and then decreased. In the HBO group the increase in nestin protein was linearly correlated with that of β-catenin protein. The whole cell β-catenin protein and β-catenin nucleic protein readings increased initially by the 21st hour of HBO therapy and by the 5th day were significantly higher than the levels in the model group. Conclusion HBO treatment is capable of stimulating the proliferation of NSCs in HIBD neonate rats.The proliferation of NSCs is correlated with the activation of β-catenin protein.

AIM: To delineate the specific mutation responsible for retinitis pigmentosa(RP)in a Yi pedigree, and to analyze the correlation of RHO gene mutation with clinical phenotype.METHODS:A comprehensive clinical evaluation was conducted on the proband diagnosed with RP and other familial members, complemented by a thorough ophthalmic examination. Peripheral blood samples were obtained from the proband and familial members, from which genomic DNA was extracte. Subsequent whole exome sequencing(WES)was employed to identify the variant genes in the proband. The identified variant gene was validated through Sanger sequencing, then an in-depth analysis of the mutation genes was carried out using genetic databases to ascertain the pathogenic mutation sites. Furthermore, an exhaustive analysis was performed to delineate the genotype and phenotype characteristics.RESULTS:The RP pedigree encompasses 5 generations with 42 members, including 19 males and 23 females. A total of 13 cases of RP were identified, consisting of 4 males and 9 females, which conforms to the autosomal dominant inheritance pattern. The clinical features of this family include an early onset age, rapid progression, and a more severe condition. The patients were found to have night blindness around 6 years old, representing the earliest reported case of night blindness in RP families. The retina was manifested by progressive osteocytoid pigmentation of the fundus, a reduced visual field, and significantly decreased or even vanished a and b amplitudes of ERG. The combined results of WES and Sanger sequencing indicated that the proband had a heterozygous missense mutation of the RHO gene c.1040C>T:p.P347L, where the 1 040 base C of cDNA was replaced by T, causing codon 347 to encode leucine instead of proline. Interestingly, this mutation has not been reported in the Chinese population.CONCLUSION:This study confirmed that the mutant gene of RP in a Yi nationality pedigree was RHO(c.1040C>T). This variant leads to the change of codon 347 from encoding proline to encoding leucine, resulting in a severe clinical phenotype among family members. This study provides a certain molecular, clinical, and genetic basis for genetic counseling and gene diagnosis of RHO.

Objective: To investigate the factors associated with CD4⁺ /CD8⁺ T lymphocyte ratio normalization in acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) patients after antiretroviral therapy (ART). Methods: The data of 1 188 human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/AIDS patients from the national ART reporting system in Yuxi City, Yunnan Province between January 1, 2006 and December 31, 2016 were retrospectively collected and analyzed. The rate of CD4⁺ /CD8⁺ T lymphocyte ratio normalization after ART was calculated by lifetable. Cox proportional hazard models were used to analyze the factors associated with CD4⁺ /CD8⁺ T lymphocyte normalization in AIDS patients after ART. The Wilcoxon rank sum test was used for comparison between groups. Results: The follow-up time was 3.8 (1.0-10.8) years. CD4⁺ /CD8⁺ T lymphocyte ratio normalization was documented in 95 patients with the rate of 1.89 per 100 person-years (95% confidence interval(CI) 1.52-2.27) after ART. The average time from ART to CD4⁺ /CD8⁺ T lymphocyte ratio normalized was 9.4 years. The cumulative normalization rate was 0.02 for the first year, 0.06 for the third year, 0.11 for the fifth year, 0.19 for the seventh year and 0.37 for the ninth year. By Cox proportional hazard models, the probability of CD4⁺ /CD8⁺ T lymphocyte ratio normalization in patients infected HIV by heterosexual contacts was 3.709 (95%CI 1.781-7.726) times higher than those by intravenous injection. The probability of CD4⁺ /CD8⁺ T lymphocyte ratio normalization in patients with baseline CD4⁺ T lymphocytes of 350-499 and more than 500 cell/μL groups were 2.792 (95%CI 1.196-6.519) and 3.832 (95%CI 1.648-8.913) times higher than those with baseline CD4⁺ T lymphocytes less than 200 cell/μL, respectively. The probability of normalization after ART in patients with higher baseline CD4⁺ /CD8⁺ T lymphocyte ratio was higher than those with baseline CD4⁺ /CD8⁺ T lymphocyte ratio≤ 0.20 (hazard ratio>1, all P<0.01). Conclusion The CD4⁺ /CD8⁺ T lymphocyte ratio normalization in AIDS patients after ART is associated with baseline CD4⁺ T lymphocyte counts, baseline CD4⁺ /CD8⁺ T lymphocyte ratio and HIV transmission mode.
