Objective:To observe the therapeutic efficacy and prognosis of daratumumab combined with chemotherapy bridging to allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) followed by daratumumab and lenalidomide maintenance treatment for primary plasma cell leukemia (PCL).Methods:The clinical data of a patient with primary PCL admitted to the First People's Hospital of Yunnan Province in January 2020 were retrospectively analyzed, and relevant literatures were reviewed.Results:The patient was diagnosed with primary PCL and treated with daratumumab combined with BD (bortezomib + dexamethasone) for 1 course and BCDD (bortezomib + cyclophosphamide + liposomaldoxorubicin + dexamethasone) for two courses. The patient was treated with daratumumab combined with allo-HSCT after complete remission. The donor cells were successfully implanted and the chimerism rate of donor cells was 94.36% without acute graft-versus-host disease reaction. And then the patient received intermittent maintenance therapy of daratumumab combined with low dose lenalidomide after transplantation, and the current remission period after transplantation reached 4 months.Conclusions:Daratumumab combined with chemotherapy bridging to allo-HSCT followed by daratumumab and lenalidomide may improve the prognosis of primary PCL and prolong survival time.

With the increasing maturity of laparoscopic surgery, laparoscopic radical resec-tion of colorectal cancer has been widely used in colorectal surgery. Accurate localization of colorectal tumors and surgical margins in the absence of tactile sensation during surgery, ensuring sufficient blood flow perfusion at the anastomotic site and effectively reducing the incidence of anastomotic leakage have become barriers to the development of laparoscopic radical resection of colorectal cancer. The application of indocyanine green fluorescence imaging (ICG-FI) technology is expected to provide feasible solutions to the above-mentioned problems. Through this technology, accurate localization of colorectal tumors, evaluation of blood supply to the anastomotic site, lymphatic system imaging, detection of colorectal liver metastases, and protection of pelvic autonomous nerves and ureters can be achieved during laparoscopic surgery, thereby further improving the surgical quality of laparoscopic radical resection of colorectal cancer. However, the clinical application of ICG-FI technology in colorectal surgery is relatively short, which is still in the stage of exploration and experience accumulation, and there are few guideline or consensus available for reference. Therefore, the authors aim to provide a reference for the clinical application of this technology by reviewing and summarizing relevant literature based on different application types of ICG in colo-rectal cancer surgery.

Objective:To explore the composition of oral microbiome in patients of long-term survival after liver transplantation, and compare the diversity and distribution of oral microbiome in liver transplant patients with or without liver cancer.Methods:This is a cross-sectional study. Clinical data of 20 patients of long-term survival after liver transplantation from Beijing Chaoyang Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University from July 2023 to October 2023 were continuously collected, including 13 males and 7 females, aged 55 (48, 60) years. There were eight patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) undergoing liver transplantation and 12 non-HCC liver transplant patients. Oral microbiome was analyzed by 16S rDNA gene sequencing, and the diversity analysis and LEfSe analysis were performed.Results:The top ten groups of bacteria in the HCC and non-HCC liver transplant patients were both Bacteroidota, Firmicutes, Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, Fusobacteriota, Patescibacteria, Campylobacterota, Cyanobacteria, spirochaetota, and Aenigmarchaeota. The top ten genus levels of bacteria in the HCC and non-HCC liver transplant patients were both Haemophilus, Porphyromonas, Gemella, Fusobacterium, Actinomyces, Prevotella, Rothia, Streptococcus, Neisseria. By LEfSe analysis, we found the enrichment of Flavobacteriales, Flavobacteriaceae, Capnocytophaga, Mogibacterium_timidum, Capnocytophaga_leadbetteri, Campylobacter_showae in the HCC group, while the enrichment of Veillonella_atypica, Prevotella_histicola in the non-HCC group.Conclusion:The main microbiome was similar between HCC and non-HCC liver transplant patients, but there were also some differences in microbiome communities.

Endogenously eliminating the hematoma is a favorable strategy in addressing intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). This study sought to determine the role of retinoid X receptor-α (RXR-α) in the context of hematoma absorption after ICH. Our results showed that pharmacologically activating RXR-α with bexarotene significantly accelerated hematoma clearance and alleviated neurological dysfunction after ICH. RXR-α was expressed in microglia/macrophages, neurons, and astrocytes. Mechanistically, bexarotene promoted the nuclear translocation of RXR-α and PPAR-γ, as well as reducing neuroinflammation by modulating microglia/macrophage reprograming from the M1 into the M2 phenotype. Furthermore, all the beneficial effects of RXR-α in ICH were reversed by the PPAR-γ inhibitor GW9662. In conclusion, the pharmacological activation of RXR-α confers robust neuroprotection against ICH by accelerating hematoma clearance and repolarizing microglia/macrophages towards the M2 phenotype through PPAR-γ-related mechanisms. Our data support the notion that RXR-α might be a promising therapeutic target for ICH.
