OBJECTIVE To explore the clinical features， diagnosis， treatment and management measures of multiple immune- related adverse event （irAE） after toripalimab treatment， in order to provide reference for the clinical management of similar cases. METHODS A retrospective analysis was conducted on a post-operative bladder cancer patient who developed various irAEs after toripalimab treatment. The patient’s medical history， laboratory tests， imaging studies， treatment course and outcomes were detailed. The Naranjo scale was used to assess the relationship between the irAEs and toripalimab. RESULTS The patient developed irAEs after receiving toripalimab， such as immune-related myocarditis， liver dysfunction， and myasthenia. According to the Naranjo scale evaluation， it was assessed that these adverse events were related to the administration of toripalimab. After high- dose corticosteroid pulse therapy and immunoglobulin immunomodulation， the patient’s symptoms were effectively relieved， with a improved trend in various physiological indicators and significant improvement in the degree of system/organ damage. CONCLUSIONS Toripalimab may lead to multiple irAEs， including immune-related myocarditis， liver injury， and myasthenia. Early recognition， timely diagnosis， and appropriate treatment of irAE are crucial for improving patient’s prognosis.

【Objective】 To study and compare the effects of different storage temperature and time on coagulation factor after cryoprecipitated antihemophilic factor(CAF) melting, and to provide reference for the establishment of industry standards. 【Methods】 From June 2021 to May 2023, a total of 96 bags of CAF were sampled in 4 bags per month, and timely detected in the same month. After the CAF was melted in a 37℃ water bath, the mild to moderate lipemic blood was labeled. Each bag of CAF and two 50 mL transfer bags were divided into two bags and two groups of 20 mL each using a sterile adapter. One group was placed in a 4℃ refrigerator and the other in a 22℃ water bath for 0 h, 4 h, 8 h, 12 h, 24 h and 48 h. Then 2 mL of aseptic sample was taken separately and put into the test tube, and 1mL of sample and 3 mL of buffer were added into the other test tube with the sampling gun and mixed on the machine for testing. The experimental data of 60 bags without mild to moderate lipemic blood cryoprecipitation and coagulation factor were randomly selected and statistically analyzed by SPSS21.0. 【Results】 After melting, CAF was stored for 0 h, 4 h, 8 h, 12 h, 24 h and 48 h to detect the average content and growth rate of coagulation factor in the two groups: 1) Storage at 4℃, factor Ⅷ content was 118.62, 111.57(-5.95%), 105.51(-11.05%), 103.30(-12.92%), 94.35(-20.46%) and 83.25(-29.82%) IU/ bag, respectively; Storage at 22℃, the factor Ⅷ content was 118.62, 112.69(-5.00%), 111.41(-6.08%), 109.01(-8.10%), 101.55(-14.39%) and 92.75(-21.81%) IU/ bag, and the storage results of the two groups were compared. At 24 h at 4℃ and 48 h at 22℃, the content of factor Ⅷ had significant statistical significance(P<0.01), and when stored at 22℃, the decay rate of factor Ⅷ was slower; 2) When stored at 4℃, the content of factor V was 41.19, 41.31(0.29%), 40.52(-1.64%), 40.27(-2.23%), 39.05(-5.19%) and 36.99(-10.21%) IU/ bag, respectively; Stored at 22℃, the factor V content was 41.19, 41.71(1.25%), 42.54(3.28%), 41.94(1.80%), 39.21(-4.80%) and 35.64(-13.48%) IU/ bag, respectively. Comparison of storage results between the two groups showed that the content of factor V was statistically significant(P<0.05) and significantly significant(P<0.01) at 4℃48 h and 22℃48 h, respectively, and the decay rate of factor V was faster when stored at 22℃; 3) When stored at 4℃, the Fbg content was 268.86, 268.17(-0.26%), 262.46(-2.38%), 270.50(0.61%), 267.52(-0.50%) and 261.92(-2.58%) mg/ bag, respectively; Stored at 22℃, the Fbg content was 268.86, 265.86(-1.12%), 264.12(-1.77%), 265.89(-1.11%), 266.04(-1.05%) and 261.04(-2.91%) mg/ bag, respectively. There was no statistical significance between the 2 groups and the original 0 h content in each time period(P>0.05). 【Conclusion】 After CAF melting, coagulation factor decreased with the extension of storage time, especially the decrease of factor Ⅷ, followed by factor V, while Fbg basically unchanged. Comparison between the two groups showed that, factor Ⅷ decay rate is slower, factor V decay rate is faster of storage at 22℃. CAF should be transfused as soon as possible after melting. If the delay is unavoidable, for the delay time less than 12 h, storage at 4℃ is recommended, fot the delay time more than 12 h and less than 24 h, storage at 22℃ is recommended.

Objective:To investigate the risk factors of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in young patients with hyperhomocysteinemia.Methods:A total of 260 patients younger than 45 years old who received treatment at the Department of Emergency, Seventh Medical Center, Chinese PLA General Hospital from January 2018 to January 2019 were included in this study. Among these patients, 126 patients with serum homocysteine levels ≥ 15.0 μmol/L were included in the hyperhomocysteinemia group, and 134 patients with serum homocysteine levels < 15.0 μmol/L were included in the control group. Height, body weight, body mass index, blood pressure, homocysteine, fasting blood glucose, blood uric acid, total cholesterol, triacylglycerol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and N-terminal B-type natriuretic peptide were determined in each group. Changes in risk factors of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases were compared between the hyperhomocysteinemia and control groups.Results:There were significant differences in body mass index [(26.42 ± 3.54) kg/m 2vs. (22.14 ± 3.22) kg/m 2, t = 10.21, P = 0.016], blood uric acid [(308.71 ± 78.44) μmol/L vs. (285.05 ± 92.09) μmol/L, t = 2.22, P = 0.027], the incidence of coronary heart disease (73/126 vs. 61/134, χ2 = 4.00, P = 0.045) and the incidence of stroke (19/126 vs. 6/134, χ2 = 8.39, P = 0.004) between the hyperhomocysteinemia and control groups. There were no significant differences in fasting blood glucose, blood lipid level, N-terminal B-type natriuretic peptide, and the incidences of diabetes mellitus and hypertension between the two groups (all P > 0.05). Conclusion:The related risk factors of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases increase in young patients with hyperhomocysteinemia. The incidences of coronary heart disease and stroke are very high, and therefore timely intervention should be carried out.

Objective The protective effect of oleanolic acid on acute cholestatic liver injury in rats. Methods Thirty male SD rats were randomly divided into 3 groups ( n= 10 per group): sham group, bile duct ligated (BDL) group, and bile duct ligated with oleanolic acid (BDL+OA ) group. After 7 days, liver samples in all rats were collected. Expressions of bile acids pump and nuclear receptors at mRNA and protein levels were detected by RT- qPCR and Western blotting. Results At mRNA level, the expression of Mrp4 and Oatp1 expression in the BDL and BDL+OA groups were increased as compared with that in the sham group. The expression of Mrp4 increased 1.8 times in the BDL group and increased 2.3 times in the BDL+OA group (P<0.05), but the expression of Oatp1 was not statistically significant; AhR was increased 1.7-fold in the BDL group and 2.8 times in the BDL+OA group, Nrf2 was increased 1.5-fold in the BDL group and 2.1 times in the BDL+OA group with statistically significant difference. At the protein level, in the BDL group, Mrp4 expression increased 1.3 times, Oatp1 expression increased 1.5 times, AhR expression increased 1.3 times, Nrf2 expression increased 1.4 fold; in the BDL+OA group, Mrp4 expression increased 1.8 fold, AhR expression increased 1.9 fold, with statistical significance between the two groups. Oatp1 expression increased 1.4-fold in the BDL+OA group as compared with the BDL group showing no statistical significance. Conclusions Oleanolic acid stimulates the hepatic expression of bile acids pump Mrp4 associated with the activation of nuclear receptors AhR and Nrf2 in acute bile ductligated rats.

Background Juvenile Graves ophthalmopathy has a low prevalence and few relevant studies.Analyzing and reviewing the clinical features and therapeutic effectiveness of juvenile Graves ophthalmopathy is helpful to its diagnosis and management.Objective This study was to evaluate the clinical characteristics of Graves ophthalmopathy and its management in children and adolescents.Methods The clinical data of 54 eyes from 29 patients with Graves ophthalmopathy who were diagnosed in Shanghai Changzheng Hospital from January 2007 to December 2012 were retrospectively analyzed.The ocular manifestations,thyroid function,CT or MRI testing results were collected,and the activity of Graves ophthalmopathy was scored based on the criteria of CAS.Artificial tears was topically administered in 44 eyes with CAS ≤ 2.In the eyes with CAS ≥ 3,corticosteroids drug was systemically used in 3 patients,and orbital decompression surgery and excision of Müller muscle were performed in 3 eyes of 2 patients respectively.The follow-up was carried out for 1.5-6 years.The treatment outcomes were evaluated according to the reduction of exophthalnos and the improvement of upper eyelid retraction.Results The patients were 5-18 years old with an average age of 12.9 years old.Out of 29 Graves ophthalmopathy patients,5 males and 24 females were included.The initial clinical manifestations were proptosis,eyelid retraction and swelling,and accompanied by conjunctival congestion and hypophasis.The best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was ≥ 0.8 in all the eyes.CAS scores wcre 0-2 in 48 eyes of 26 patients and ≥ 3 (active Graves ophthalmopathy) in 6 eyes of 3 patients.The increase of orbital adipose volume was exhibited in all the eyes and the enlargement of extraocular muscle was revealed in parts of eyes by CT/MRI.Laboratory examination showed normal thyroid function in 12 patients (41.4％),hyperthyreosis in 15 patients (51.7％) and hypothyroidism in 2 patients (6.9％).The ocular symptom was improved in 20 eyes of 11 patients (37.9％),stabilized in 29 eyes of 16 patients (55.2％) and worsen in4 eyes of 2 patients (6.9％) in following-up duration.Conclusions Graves ophthalmopathy occurs much more in female than in male.The clinical manifestations are mild,with low activity and good prognosis in children and adolescents Graves ophthalmopathy.
