Dysfunction in tyrosine kinase activity disrupts the nor-mal control of cellular phosphorylation signaling pathways,which plays a vital role in genesis and development of various tumors, and makes tyrosine kinases a class of targets of many anti-tumor drugs. Currently most approved tyrosine kinase inhibitors ( TKIs) are based on irreversible binding mechanisms, making them poorly selective, not potent or sustained enough regarding pharmacological effects and prone to triggering resistance. In the past decade, much progress has been made in the development of
a new class of TKIs which irreversibly inhibit their target proteins via the formation of covalent bonds, overcoming the drawbacks of irreversible TKIs. Several irreversible TKIs have entered markets or clinical research phases. This review is to summarize the structural, pharmacological and medicinal chemical properties of investigational and marketed irreversible TKIs as well as their re-cent developments.

Objective:To compare the postoperative effects of double eyelid surgery with different exophthalmos to find its influence on the surgery and necessary changes in preoperative design and during operation.Methods:A total of 50 female patients with single eyelid seeking beauty from June 2021 to March 2022 were selected from the Department of Plastic Surgery, Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University. The ocular protrusion was measured by HETEL ophthalmostatometer before surgery. Both eyes at 12-15 mm were taken as normal group ( n=26), both eyes at 16-18 mm as mild protrusion group ( n=14) and both eyes at 19-22 mm as severe protrusion group ( n=10). All the patients were treated with double-eyelid surgery by orbital septum and unified postoperative nursing. Results:After six months of follow-up, there was no difference in eyelid width with closed eyes (all P>0.05). The width of double eyelid with open eyes in normal group was smaller than that in mild protrusion group ( F=23.23, all P<0.05), and the width of double eyelid with open eyes in mild protrusion group was smaller than that in severe protrusion group ( F=47.70, all P<0.05). There was no difference in the improvement rate of facial aesthetics among the three groups ( P>0.05). The " feeling of meet" and scar formation in the normal group were less than those in the mild protrusion group ( F=16.92, F=33.45, all P<0.05), and the " feeling of meet" and scar formation in the mild protrusion group were less than those in the severe protrusion group ( F=27.93, F=28.53, all P<0.05). The improvement rate of normal group was higher than that of mild and severe protrusion group (χ 2=7.25, 7.89, all P<0.05). There was no difference in the improvement rate between the mild and severe protrusion groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:In clinical practice, it is necessary to make corresponding changes in the preoperative design and operation of double eyelid surgery for patients with high eyeball protrusion.

Objective:To explore whether CD5 + CD19 + B cells has the function of secreteing interleukin-10 (IL-10) in vitro, and to further investigate its possible effects and mechanisms on CD8 + cells in the process of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. Methods:From July 2017 to June 2018, at Wuxi Second People′s Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University, 23 patients with chronic hepatitis B (chronic hepatitis B group), 18 patients with liver cirrhosis (liver cirrhosis group) and 19 healthy individuals in the same period as healthy controls (healthy control group) were enrolled. Peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) were isolated and cultured. CD5 + CD19 + B cells were isolated. The cells were analyzed by flow cytometry. The ratio of high CD5 + CD19 + B cells content (>6 % of lymphocytes), the secretion of IL-10 by CD5 + CD19 + B and the ratio of high IL-10 + cells content (>4 % of lymphocytes) of three groups were compared. The effects and possible mechanisms of CD5 + CD19 + B cells on the secreting of interferon-γ (IFN-γ) by CD8 + cells were analyzed. Liver biopsy and immunohistochemistry examination were conducted in 18 patients (13 patients with chronic hepatitis B and 5 patients with liver cirrhosis) and the expression of CD5 + CD19 + B cells in human liver tissues was analyzed. Chi square test and Fisher exact probability test were used for statistical analysis. Results:The ratio of high CD5 + CD19 + B cells content of liver cirrhosis group was higher than that of healthy control group (8/18 vs. 2/19) and the difference was statistically significant (Fisher exact probability test, P=0.029). The precentage of CD5 + CD19 + B cells in healthy control group ( n=10), chronic hepatitis B group ( n=23) and liver cirrhosis group ( n=18) accounted for 81.6%, 82.3% and 70.1%of IL-10 + cells, respectively, and the number of patients with high IL-10 + cells precentage was 2, 7 and 2, respectively. There were no statistically significant differences among three groups (all P>0.05). After stimulated with lipopolysaccharide and cultured for 48 hours, the precentage of CD8 + IFN-γ + cells in lymphocytes of healthy control group ( n=10), chronic hepatitis B group ( n=10) and liver cirrhosis group ( n=10) were compared, and the differences were not statistically significant (all P>0.05). After CD5 + CD19 + B cells were eliminated, the precentage of CD8 + IFN-γ + cells in lymphocytes increased in 5, 4 and 4 patients of healthy control group ( n=10), chronic hepatitis B group ( n=10) and liver cirrhosis group ( n=10). After adding IL-10 receptor blocker, the precentage of CD8 + IFN-γ + cells in lymphocytes in PBMC increased compared with that before the addition of IL-10 receptor blocker (7.23% vs. 6.87%). The results of immunohistochemistry examination of liver biopsy indicated that CD4 + and CD8 + cells were strong expressed in portal area of liver tissue of patients, while CD5 + and CD19 + were less expressed. Conclusions:CD5 + CD19 + B cells do not show obvious quantitative and functional differences in the process of chronic HBV infection, however the ability of CD8 + cells to secrete IFN-γ, which may be achieved by secreting IL-10 rather than by direct contact between cells.

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics of choledocholithiasis com-bined with periampullary diverticulum and influencing factor for difficult cannulation of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP).Methods:The retrospective case-control study was conducted. The clinical data of 1 920 patients who underwent ERCP for choledocholithiasis in 15 medical centers, including the First Hospital of Lanzhou University, et al, from July 2015 to December 2017 were collected. There were 915 males and 1 005 females, aged (63±16)years. Of 1 920 patients, there were 228 cases with periampullary diverticulum and 1 692 cases without periampullary diverticulum. Observation indicators: (1) clinical characteristics of patients with choledocholithiasis; (2) intraoperative and postoperative situations of patients undergoing ERCP for choledocholithiasis; (3) influencing factor analysis for difficult cannulation in patients undergoing ERCP for choledocholithiasis. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean±SD, and comparison between groups was conducted using the independent sample t test. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M(range) or M( Q1, Q3), and com-parison between groups was conducted using the Wilcoxon rank sum test. Count data were described as absolute numbers or percentages, and comparison between groups was conducted using the chi-square test or Fisher exact probability. The Logistic regression model was used for univariate and multivariate analyses. Results:(1) Clinical characteristics of patients with choledocholithiasis. Age, body mass index, cases with complications as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, diameter of common bile duct, cases with diameter of common bile duct as <8 mm, 8?12 mm, >12 mm, diameter of stone, cases with number of stones as single and multiple were (69±12)years, (23.3±3.0)kg/m 2, 16, (14±4)mm, 11, 95, 122, (12±4)mm, 89, 139 in patients with choledocholithiasis combined with periampullary diverticulum, versus (62±16)years, (23.8±2.8)kg/m 2, 67, (12±4)mm, 159, 892, 641, (10±4)mm, 817, 875 in patients with choledocholithiasis not combined with periampullary diver-ticulum, showing significant differences in the above indicators between the two groups ( t=?7.55, 2.45, χ2=4.54, t=?4.92, Z=4.66, t=?7.31, χ2=6.90, P<0.05). (2) Intraoperative and postoperative situations of patients undergoing ERCP for choledocholithiasis. The balloon expansion diameter, cases with intraoperative bleeding, cases with hemorrhage management of submucosal injection, hemostatic clip, spray hemostasis, electrocoagulation hemostasis and other treatment, cases with endoscopic plastic stent placement, cases with endoscopic nasal bile duct drainage, cases with mechanical lithotripsy, cases with stone complete clearing, cases with difficult cannulation, cases with delayed intubation, cases undergoing >5 times of cannulation attempts, cannulation time, X-ray exposure time, operation time were 10.0(range, 8.5?12.0)mm, 56, 6, 5, 43, 1, 1, 52, 177, 67, 201, 74, 38, 74, (7.4±3.1)minutes, (6±3)minutes, (46±19)minutes in patients with choledocholithiasis combined with periampullary diverticulum, versus 9.0(range, 8.0?11.0)mm, 243, 35, 14, 109, 73, 12, 230, 1 457, 167, 1 565, 395, 171, 395, (6.6±2.9)minutes, (6±5)minutes, (41±17)minutes in patients with choledocholithiasis not combined with periampullary diverticulum, showing significant differences in the above indicators between the two groups ( Z=6.31, χ2=15.90, 26.02, 13.61, 11.40, 71.51, 5.12, 9.04, 8.92, 9.04, t=?3.89, 2.67, ?3.61, P<0.05). (3) Influencing factor analysis for difficult cannulation in patients undergoing ERCP for choledocholithiasis. Results of multivariate analysis showed total bilirubin >30 umol/L, number of stones >1, combined with periampullary diverticulum were indepen-dent risk factors for difficult cannulation in patients with periampullary diverticulum who underwent ERCP for choledocholithiasis ( odds ratio=1.31, 1.48, 1.44, 95% confidence interval as 1.06?1.61, 1.20?1.84, 1.06?1.95, P<0.05). Results of further analysis showed that, of 1 920 patients undergoing ERCP for choledocholithiasis, the incidence of postoperative pancreatitis was 17.271%(81/469) and 8.132%(118/1 451) in the 469 cases with difficult cannulation and 1 451 cases without difficult cannula-tion, respectively, showing a significant difference between them ( χ2=31.86, P<0.05). In the 1 692 patients with choledocholithiasis not combined with periampullary diverticulum, the incidence of postopera-tive pancreatitis was 17.722%(70/395) and 8.250%(107/1 297) in 395 cases with difficult cannula-tion and 1 297 cases without difficult cannulation, respectively, showing a significant difference between them ( χ2=29.00, P<0.05). In the 228 patients with choledocholithiasis combined with peri-ampullary diverticulum, the incidence of postoperative pancreatitis was 14.865%(11/74) and 7.143%(11/154) in 74 cases with difficult cannulation and 154 cases without difficult cannulation, respectively, showing no significant difference between them ( χ2=3.42, P>0.05). Conclusions:Compared with patients with choledocholithiasis not combined with periampullary divertioulum, periampullary divertioulum often occurs in choledocholithiasis patients of elderly and low body mass index. The proportion of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is high in choledocholithiasis patients with periampullary diverticulum, and the diameter of stone is large, the number of stone is more in these patients. Combined with periampullary diverticulum will increase the difficult of cannulation and the ratio of patient with mechanical lithotripsy, and reduce the ratio of patient with stone complete clearing without increasing postoperative complications of choledocholithiasis patients undergoing ERCP. Total bilirubin >30 μmol/L, number of stones >1, combined with periampullary diverticulum are independent risk factors for difficult cannulation in patients of periampullary diverticulum who underwent ERCP for choledocholithiasis.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effect of the lentiviral vector mediated CXCR4 overexpressed mesenchymal stem cell (MSCs) on graft-versus-host disease (GVHD).
METHODSLentiviral vector containing CXCR4 was constructed. CXCR4 overexpressed MSC by lentiviral vector mediated were assessed. A major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-mismatched mouse model of bone marrow transplantation (BMT) from C57BL/6 donors to BALB/c recipients was constructed. Mice were divided into five groups: total body irradiation (TBI) group, mice received irradiation only; BMT group, mice were transplanted with bone marrow (BM) after TBI; GVHD group, mice were transplanted with BM and splencytes after TBI; CXCR4-MSC group, mice were transplanted with CXCR4-MSC, BM and splencytes after TBI; EGFP-MSC group, mice were transplanted with EGFP-MSC, BM and splencytes after TBI. The survival, body weight and clinical score of GVHD in transplanted mice were monitored. Liver, intestine and skin from mice in each group were obtained for histological examination. Plasma concentrations of inflammation factors such as interleukin (IL)-2, IFN-γ and TNF-α were also determined using a cytometric bead array cytokine kit.
RESULTSAll mice in TBI group died within 14 days, while all of BMT group survived. The mean survival times for GVHD, EGFP-MSC and CXCR4-MSC groups were (17.0 ± 2.3) d, (21.7 ± 4.8) d and (30.1 ± 9.1) d, respectively. Treatment with CXCR4 over-expressing MSCs could decrease the mortality rate. All mice in each group developed clinical signs such as hunched posture, dull fur, diarrhea and weight loss. Meanwhile, histopathological findings in target organs were confirmed the presence of GVHD. While, clinical GVHD scores and histopathological scores in CXCR4-MSC group were significantly lower than that of GVHD group. Moreover, compared with control groups, the plasma IL-2, IFN-γ and TNF-α level in recipients infused with CXCR4-MSC were significantly decreased (P<0.05).
CONCLUSIONThe results revealed that CXCR4- transduced MSCs could effectively control the occurrence of mouse GVHD following allogeneic BM transplantation.
