Objective: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of nonmyeloablative preconditioning allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (NMHSCT) in the therapy of unidentified relapse and primary solid tu-mors, and to study the anti-tumor immunity induced by the effect of Graft-Verus-Tumor (GVT). Methods: A to-tal of 13 difficult-to-treat cancer patients received NMSCT and the efficacy and side effects were observed. Re-sults: One case had CR, 2 cases had PR, 4 cases had SD, 5 cases had PD, and 1 case died of complica-tions associated with transplantation. One case was GVT (+++), 3 cases were GVT (++), 5 cases were GVT(+), and 4 cases were GVT (-). The main side effect was acute GVHD presented as diarrhea and infec-tion. VOD and brain disease were rare. Conclusion: Nonmyeloablative allogeneic stem cell transplantation is safe and effective for solide tumors.

Objective To explore the potential of autologous dendritic cells (DC) pulsed with HLA-A201-binding peptide E613-21(KLPDLCTEL) and E786-94(TLGIVCPI)in inducing specific T cells respouse in vitro.Methods Cervical carcinoma patients with positive HLA-A201 were enrolled and their monocytes isolated and induced into dendritic cells and pulsed with HLA-A201-binding peptide E613-21 and E786-94.PBLs were primed by DCs every week for thee times.The cytokine level of supernatant of CTLs was tested by ELISA.The percentage of special CTLs was tested by flow cytometry.The specific killing effect of CTLs was tested by MTT.Results the numbers of DCs of eleven cervical carcinoma patients were (10.79±0.88) ×106(100 ml peripheral blood).CDllc+HLA-DR+(97.15±2.41)%,CD80+(84.28+5.39)%,CD83 +(85.17±5.06) %,CD86 + (97.74+0.87) %.Proliferation index of PBLs primed by DCs three times was 15.4± 1.5.Cytokine levels including IL-2,IL-12,IFN-γ and TNF-α were obviously higher than nonpriming PBLs[(2551.9+195.3) pg/ml,(554.9±64.0) pg/ml,(2416.9±281.7) pg/ml,(632.4 +71.1)pg/ml,respectively] (P<0.05),but IL-10 was no significant difference between priming CTLs and nonpriming CTLs.The average percentage of special CTLs was obviously higher than control group[(6.32±1.54)%,P<0.05].The killing effect of CTLs was obviously higher than control group(P<0.05).Conclusion Dendritic cells pulsed with peptide E613-21 and E786-94 can induce special CTLs in vitro and stimulate CTLs secret cytokines.This will provide science basis for research of therapeutic HPV vaccine.

Objective:To investigate correlations between blood lipid levels and clinical characteristics of patients with psoriasis vulgaris (PsV) in Fujian province.Methods:Totally, 245 PsV patients were enrolled from Department of Dermatology of the First Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University from March 2019 to March 2022, and 250 gender-, age-, and body mass index-matched health checkup examinees served as controls. Their biochemical indicators, such as blood lipids, liver function, and kidney function, were evaluated. Clinical data, such as disease courses, involvement of specific sites, history of smoking and alcohol consumption, and family history of psoriasis, were collected from the PsV patients, and correlations between these clinical data and dyslipidemia were analyzed. Measurement data were compared using t test or Mann-Whitney U test, and enumeration data were compared using chi-square test. Results:There were 122 (50.8%) patients with dyslipidemia in the PsV group and 94 (37.6%) in the control group, and the prevalence of dyslipidemia significantly differed between the two groups ( χ2 = 7.48, P = 0.006). The prevalence of hypo-high-density lipoprotein cholesterolemia was significantly higher in the PsV group (29.8%) than in the control group (18.8%; χ2 = 8.15, P = 0.004). The PsV group showed significantly decreased serum levels of total cholesterol (4.5[3.9, 5.2] mmol/L), high-density-lipoprotein cholesterol (1.1[1.0, 1.3] mmol/L), and apolipoprotein A1 (1.2[1.1, 1.4] g/L) compared with the control group (4.9[4.3, 5.4] mmol/L, 1.3[1.1, 1.5] mmol/L, 1.3[1.2, 1.5] g/L, respectively; all P < 0.001). The proportions of males, patients with a history of alcohol consumption, and patients with involvement of the palmoplantar sites were significantly higher in the PsV patients with dyslipidemia (92.6%, 13.1%, 13.8%, respectively) than in those without dyslipidemia (70.7%, 6.0%, 5.0%, respectively; all P < 0.001). Multifactorial logistic regression analysis showed that "male" and "BMI ≥ 25 kg/m 2" were independent risk factors for dyslipidemia in the PsV patients ( OR [95% CI]: 3.94 [1.74, 9.74], 3.18 [1.71, 6.09], respectively), and "involvement of the palmoplantar sites" was independently associated with increased risk of hyperlipidemia ( OR [95% CI]: 3.38 [1.18, 11.01]) . Conclusion:The prevalence of dyslipidemia was higher in PsV patients than in healthy populations, and PsV patients being males, having BMI ≥ 25 kg/m 2 and with involvement of palmoplantar sites may be prone to develop lipid metabolism disorders.

【Objective】 To study the application effect of gel adsorbent tank in the production of human prothrombin complex concentrate(PCC). 【Methods】 Six batches of PCC were produced from 1000 L cryoprecipitated plasma, using the same gel twice for adsorption within the tank.The number of gel repeated application was examined by retrospective confirmation, and the adsorption rate, specific activity and residue of finished virus inactivation reagent were determined before and after adsorption. 【Results】 All 6 batches of PPC, produced by the same gel, satisfied quality criteria. Both PPC solution and the gel presented good color. The average activities of coagulation Factors Ⅱ, Ⅶ, Ⅸ and Ⅹ of six batches of PCC were 118.2%, 157.0%, 140.5% and 176.8%, respectively. The The adsorption capacity of coagulation factor Ⅱ, Ⅸ and Ⅹ were both 100% in the first and second adsorption, while coagulation factor Ⅶ were 75% and 81%, respectively. The average specific activity of coagulation factor Ⅸ was 0.7 IU/mg. The average residues of polysorbate 80 and tributyl phosphate products were 0 μg/mL and 33 μg/mL, respectively. The same batch of gel can be repeatedly used up to 6 times during the PCC process. 【Conclusion】 The gel adsorption tank presents good application value in the production of PCC, which can realize process amplification and automatic control.

【Objective】 To investigate the relationship between serum reproductive hormones and sperm parameters and outcomes of micro-testicular sperm extraction (Micro-TESE). 【Methods】 Clinical data of 1 091 patients treated in our hospital during Jan. and Dec.2021 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the sperm concentration,the patients were divided into non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA) group (group A,n=418),normal sperm concentration group (group B,n=615),mild to moderate oligospermia group (group C,n=18),severe oligospermia group (group D,n=18),and obstructive azoospermia group (group E,n=22). In group A,244 cases treated with Micro-TESE were grouped into the sperm-acquired group (Micro-TESE positive group,n=82) and non-sperm-acquired group (Micro-TESE negative group,n=162),and according to the pathological types of testicular tissue,the patients were divided into normal testicular tissue with hypospermatogenesis group (HYPO group,n=129),maturation arrest group (MA group,n=10),and support-only cell syndrome group (SCO group,n=122). Differences in semen parameters and reproductive hormone levels were compared,and relationship between reproductive hormones and sperm parameters and Micro-TESE outcomes was determined with Pearson correlation analysis. 【Results】 In the sperm concentration subgroup,the testicular volume of group A was lower than that of group B and group E (P<0.05); the levels of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) in group A were the highest (P<0.05),but the level of testosterone (T) was the lowest (P<0.05); the levels of anti-mullerian hormone (AMH) and serum inhibin B (INHB) in group A were lower than those in group B and group E (P<0.05),the normal sperm morphology rate in group B was higher than that in group A and group E (P<0.05); the percentage of forward moving sperm in group B was the highest (P<0.05). Pearson correlation analysis revealed that sperm concentration,normal sperm morphology rate,and percentage of forward moving sperm were negatively correlated with age,FSH,LH (P<0.05),and positively correlated with testicular volume,T,AMH,and INHB (P<0.05). NOA patients were grouped according to testicular histology and pathology. The INHB in the SCO group was the smallest of the three groups (P<0.05); the FSH and LH levels in the SCO group were higher than those in the MA group (P<0.05),while the 17β-estradiol (E
