OBJECTIVE:
To explore the genetic basis for four patients suspected for Marfan syndrome (MFS).
METHODS:
Four male patients with suspected MFS and their family members who were treated at West China Second Hospital of Sichuan University from September 12, 2019 to March 27, 2021 were selected as the study subjects. Peripheral venous blood samples were collected from the patients and their parents or other pedigree members for the extraction of genomic DNA. Whole exome sequencing was carried out, and candidate variants were validated by Sanger sequencing. The pathogenicity of the variants was determined based on the guidelines from the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG).
RESULTS:
Genetic testing revealed that all four patients have harbored variants of the FBN1 gene, including c.430_433del (p.His144fs) deletional variant in exon 5, c.493C>T (p.Arg165*) nonsense variant in exon 6, c.5304_5306del (p.Asp1768del) deletional variant in exon 44 and c.5165C>G (p.Ser1722Cys) missense variant in exon 42. According to the ACMG guidelines, the c.430_433del and c.493C>T were classified as pathogenic variants (PVS1+PM2_Supporting+PP4; PVS1+PS1+PS2+PM2_Supporting+PP4). c.5304_5306del and c.5165C>G were classified as likely pathogenic variants (PS2+PM2_Supporting+PM4+PP4; PS2_Moderate+PS1+PM1+PM2_Supporting).
CONCLUSION
The c.430_433del and c.5304_5306del variants of the FBN1 gene identified in this study were unreported previously. Above results have enriched the variation spectrum of the FBN1 gene and provided a basis for genetic counseling and prenatal diagnosis of patients with MFS and acromicric dysplasia.

OBJECTIVES:
To explore the effect of hydrogel loaded with exosomes from Wharton's Jelly-derived mesenchymal stem cell (WJMSC) on wound healing.
METHODS:
Exosomes were extracted from WJMSC, and the morphology and size of WJMSC-derived exosomes (WEX) were analyzed by transmission electron microscopy and nanoparticle size analyzer, respectively. The surface markers CD9, CD81, and Calnexin of WEX were detected by Western blotting. Exosome-loaded alginate hydrogel (WEX-gel) was prepared; its morphology was studied by scanning electron microscope, and its rheological behavior was examined by a rheometer. The in vitro drug release performance of WEX-gel was investigated by BCA method. RAW264.7 cells were treated with alginate hydrogel, WEX and WEX-gel, respectively; and the expression of CD86 and CD206 in macrophages was detected by flow cytometry. A full-thickness skin wound model was established in mice; the model mice were randomly divided into blank control group, WEX control group and WEX-gel group, and PBS, WEX and WEX-gel were applied to the wound area of mice, respectively. On day 3, the skin tissue of mice was excised, and the antibacterial effect of WEX hydrogel was evaluated by plate counting. On day 15, the mice were euthanized and the percentage of residual wounds was calculated. The histological changes of the skin wound were observed after hematoxylin and eosin (HE) and Masson stainings. The expression of CD86, CD206, CD31 and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in the skin wound tissue was detected by immunohistochemistry.
RESULTS:
Exosomes were successfully extracted from WJMSC. WEX-gel presented a regular three-dimensional network structure, good rheology and controlled drug release performance. WEX-gel promoted the polarization of RAW264.7 cells from the M1 phenotype to M2 phenotype in vitro. The residual wound percentage in blank control group, WEX control group and WEX-gel group were (27.5±3.4)%, (15.3±1.2)% and (7.6±1.1)%, respectively (P<0.05). The antibacterial property of WEX-gel is better than that of WEX (P<0.05). The dermis thickness, the number of new hair follicles, and the rate of collagen deposition in the WEX-gel group were significantly higher than those in the other two groups (all P<0.05). The expression of CD206, CD31 and VEGF in skin wound tissue was higher and the expression of CD86 was lower in WEX-gel group than those in other two groups (all P<0.05).
CONCLUSIONS
WEX-gel can significantly promote wound healing in mice by regulating the polarization of macrophages.

ObjectiveTo study the effect on quality of life and the bone turnover markers of Buzhong Yiqitang in the treatment of senile osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF, syndrome of Qi deficiency in spleen and stomach) after operation based on ''spleen governing muscle''. MethodA total of 135 senile patients with OVCF treated by percutaneous kyphoplasty in Rizhao Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from January 2020 to January 2021 were enrolled in this study. They were randomly assigned to two groups on the basis of block randomization at a ratio of 2∶1 (90 cases in the observation group and 45 cases in the control group). Both groups were administrated with calcitriol capsules (0.5 μg·d-1) and caltrate D (1 200 mg·d-1) for basic treatment of osteoporosis. The observation group was additionally treated with Buzhong Yiqitang. Bone mineral density (BMD), procollagen type Ⅰ N-terminal propeptide (PINP), osteocalcin (OST), β cross-linked C-telopeptide of type 1 collagen (β-CTx), appendicular skeletal muscle mass index (ASMI), and quadriceps muscle strength were compared between the two groups before and 6, 12 months after treatment. Additionally, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) symptom score and visual analogue score (VAS) before and 3, 6 months after treatment, as well as quality of life questionnaire of the European Foundation for osteoporosis (QUALEFFO) score before and 3, 6, 12 months after treatment, were compared between the two groups. ResultA total of 85 patients in the observation group and 41 patients in the control group were followed up. The general curative effect of the observation group was better than that of the control group (χ2=10.503, P<0.05). Specifically, the observation group had higher PINP, BMD, ASMI, and quadriceps muscle strength but lower β-CTx, TCM symptom score, VAS, and QUALEFFO score than the control group (P<0.05, P<0.01). No adverse reactions related to Buzhong Yiqitang were observed. ConclusionBuzhong Yiqitang can regulate bone metabolism indexes, promote osteogenesis, increase bone density, enhance skeleton appendiculare and quadriceps muscle strength, relieve clinical symptoms, and improve quality of life in patients with senile OVCF (syndrome of Qi deficiency in spleen and stomach), being worthy of promotion in clinical application.
