【Objective】 To study the technology of separating and purifying C1 esterase inhibitor (C1-INH) by using the waste washing liquid as raw materia during the preparation of human prothrombin complex (PCC) l. 【Methods】 C1-INH was isolated and purified by a two-step method of polyethylene glycol (PEG) 4000 precipitation and cation chromatography. The pH of raw materials and the concentration of PEG4000 were adjusted to investigate the optimal conditions of PEG4000 precipitation method. After PEG was precipitated and centrifuged, the supernatant is treated as the loading solution for cation exchange chromatography, using Fractogel EMD SE HiCap(M) gel and CM Sepharose FF gel for ion exchange chromatography. The most suitable gel and separation conditions were selected by comparing the C1-INH antigen yield, activity yield and specific activity. 【Results】 Under the condition of pH 6.1, when the mass fraction of PEG4000 was 14%, the recovery rate of C1 esterase inhibitor was close to 70%, and the removal rate of ceruloplasmin was more than 95% after stirring for 10 minutes. As fractogel EMD SE HiCap(M) gel was used for cation exchange chromatography, when the eluent salt concentration was 0.25 M sodium chloride, the activity yield of C1 esterase inhibitor was greater than 80%, and the specific activity was greater than 5 IU/mg. 【Conclusions】 Using the waste washing liquid as the raw material during the preparation of PCC, the C1 esterase inhibitor with high specific activity can be prepared through PEG precipitation and purification by Fractogel EMD SE HiCap(M) ion exchange chromatography.

Objective To investigate the expressions of ABCG2 and V-ATPase in NSCLC and their expression rates in pathological classification, TNM stages and pathological grades and the expression correlation between ABCG2 and V-ATPase. Methods Expressions of ABCG2 and V-ATPase were accessed with EnVinsion immunohistochemistry in tumor samples from 92 NSCLC patients. The corresponding data was analyzed statistically. Results Expressions of ABCG2 and V -ATPase were found both in the lung adenocarcinoma and lung squamous cell cancer, and the difference between these two kinds of tumors was significant (P =0.003,0.000). ABCG2 expression was significantly different among TNM stages of lung adenocarcinoma (P=0.004) as well as among pathological grades of lung adenocarcinoma (P =0.028) and squamous cell carcinoma (P =0.000), while no significant difference was found among TNM stages of squamous cell lung carcinoma. The level of V-ATPase expression was associated with TNM stages of lung adenocarcinoma (P =0.026) and pathological grades of lung squamous cell carcinoma (P =0.002), however, among TNM stages of lung squamous cell carcinoma and pathological grades of lung adenocarcinoma, the difference was not significant. Additionally, the significant correlation was found between expression of ABCG2 and V-ATPase in all samples, adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma (P<0.001). Conclusion The significant correlation is found between expression of ABCG2 and V-ATPase, which indicate that they may co-work to participate in the mechanism of anticancer drug resistance.

Objective:To summarize our preliminary experience of the individual transurethral en bloc resection of bladder tumor (ERBT) based on vesical imaging-reporting and data system (VI-RADS).Methods:The clinical data of 32 bladder cancer patients admitted from January 2019 to October 2019 were retrospectively analyzed, including 26 males and 6 females. Among them, there were 27, 5, 26 and 6 patients who had primary, recurrent, single or mutiple blader tumors, respectively. And the median number of bladder tumor was 1(1-3) and the mean diameter was 2(0.6-4.5)cm.The patients were aged 37 to 82 years, with a median age of 63 years. All patients underwent multi-parameter magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) before surgery and acquired a VI-RADS score. Among the 32 patients, there were 8, 17, 2, 5, and 0 patients in the VI-RADS score category 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, respectively. Based on the VI-RADS score and tumor size, morphology and number provided by the mpMRI, the urologists classified the tumor types into type 1, 2a, 2b, 2c, 3a, 3b, 3c, 4a, 4b or 5, and designed the surgical protocol for each type including the resection plan, boundary and depth. There were 8, 6, 7, 4, 0, 1, 1, 3, 2 and 0 patients in each type, respectively. The tumor types were further confirmed during the operation, and the operation was completed according to the surgical plans for different tumor types.Patients received intravesical therapy of gemcitabine within 24 hours after surgery.Results:All operations were successfully completed and none was converted to the traditional transurethral resection of the bladder tumor. The operation time was 5 to 35 minutes with a median time of 15 minutes. Tumor specimens from all patients contained the muscularis propria. Among the patients with scores 1, 2, 3 and 4, there were 8, 16, 1 and 0 patients diagnosed with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC), respectively. All the patients with NMIBC had negative basal resection margins and 6 out 7 muscle invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) patients had negative resection margins. There were no intraoperative complications such as bladder perforation and obturator reflex. Four patients experienced obvious postoperative bladder irritation and relieved after symptomatic treatment or removing catheter. Twelve patients received second resections, including 10 NMIBC patients and 2 MIBC patients. No residual tumor was found in the re-resected specimens. There were 9 and 12 NMIBC patients received regular intravesical therapy of gemcitabine or BCG, respectively. Among the 7 MIBC patients, 5 received radical cystectomy and two received bladder-preserving treatment including second resection, adjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The follow-up period was 3-12 months, with a median of 6 months. One NMIBC patient relapsed at 9th months after surgery and underwent ERBT.Conclusions:The personalized ERBT based on VI-RADS is safe and feasible, and can achieve negative margins in all NMIBC and some MIBC without severe complications.

Chinese Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology 2022;57(12):907-913
Objective:To analyze the clinical features and pregnancy outcomes in antepartum and postpartum hemolysis, elevated live enzymes, and low platelet count syndrome(HELLP syndrome).Methods:A retrospective study was conducted to collect maternal and neonatal information of pre-eclampsia complicated with HELLP syndrome in Peking University First Hospital during the ten years from April 2009 to March 2019. A total of 83 pregnant women were included according to the Tennessee Classification System. They were then allocated into two groups based on the onset time of HELLP syndrome: antepartum HELLP syndrome group ( n=70) and postpartum HELLP syndrome group ( n=13). The clinical features, symptoms, laboratory biomarkers, and pregnancy outcomes were compared between the two groups. Results:Among the 83 pregnant women with HELLP syndrome, 70 occurred prenatally (84%, 70/83) and 13 occurred postpartum (16%, 13/83). The twin or triplet pregnancy rate in the postpartum HELLP syndrome group was significantly higher than that in the antepartum HELLP syndrome group [6/13 vs 6% (4/70), P=0.001]. The gestational weeks for HELLP onset and delivery in the postpartum HELLP syndrome group were significantly later than those in the antepartum HELLP syndrome group [(35.8±3.0) vs (31.5±5.2) weeks, P=0.025; (36.7±2.3) vs (32.2±5.0) weeks, P=0.002]. The incidence of early-onset pre-eclampsia in the antepartum HELLP syndrome group was significant higher than that in the postpartum HELLP syndrome group [64% (45/70) vs 2/13, P=0.002]. The quantitative of 24-hour proteinuria was significant higher in the antepartum HELLP syndrome group than that in the postpartum HELLP syndrome group [(4.8±5.1) vs (1.8±1.6) g, P=0.002]. But there were no statistical significances in the comparison of other laboratory test indexes (all P>0.05). There were no significant differences between the two groups in clinical symptoms, severe maternal complications, transfusion or adverse maternal outcomes (all P>0.05). Conclusions:Antepartum and postpartum HELLP syndrome have similar clinical symptoms and laboratory characteristics. Both antepartum and postpartum HELLP syndrome could lead to severe maternal complications, which should be paid special attention in clinical practice, especially to the postpartum HELLP syndrome.

Objective: To analyze the current status of anticoagulant therapy for in-hospital patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS) at county hospitals of China and to explore the relationship between anticoagulant therapy and clinical outcomes in real medical environment. Methods: 99 county hospitals from15 provinces of China were selected for this prospective registry study and 12373 eligible ACS patients without interventional therapy admitted from 2011-09 to 2014-06 were enrolled. The basic condition, previous history, initial assessment, anticoagulants (unfractionated heparin/low molecular weight heparin) application, severe bleeding events and in-hospital mortality were collected in all patients. Multiple logistic regression analysis was conducted to explore the relationship between anticoagulant therapy and clinical outcomes including in-hospital mortality, severe bleeding events and combined endpoints; meanwhile, possible confounders were adjusted. Results: A total of 9985/12373 ACS patients received anticoagulant therapy and 2388 did not. Anticoagulant therapy was conducted in 92.7% (4237/4570) patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), 90.8% (1639/1805) with non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) and 68.5% (4109/5998) with unstable angina (UA); there were differences by regions and genders,P<0.01and no difference by age. Multivariable analysis indicated that anticoagulant therapy decreased the risk of in-hospital mortality in ACS patients at 53% (OR= 0.47, 95% CI 0.36-0.62), such reduction in STEMI patients was at 55% (OR=0.45, 95% CI 0.32-0.64), in NSTEMI patients was at 58% (OR=0.42, 95% CI 0.24-0.75); while it had no real effect in UA patients,P>0.05. Meanwhile, it did not increase the risk of severe bleeding events in ACS patients,P>0.05. Conclusion: Anticoagulant therapy has been widely used in STEMI and NSTEMI patients at county hospitals of China and obviously decreased the in-hospital mortality; while the application rate was relatively low in UA patients. The general safety of anticoagulant therapy has been good in ACS patients.
