Objective To summarize and analyze clinical characteristics of glycogen storage disease (GSD)typeⅠcomplicated with hepatocellular carcinoma to improve clinical recognition to it.Methods First case of GSD type Ia complicated with hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)in China was reported and another 14 cases with detailed clinical data reported in literatures were reviewed in this paper.Results The case was man at age of 19 with chief complaint of hepatic mass founded casually.For all the 15 cases(other 14 from literature reports),mean age at diagnosis of HCC was 32.3 years and average time interval from diagnosis of GSD to diagnosis of HCC Was 23.1 years,as compared to 23.3 years and 14.6 years,respectively in three cases with both hepatitis B virus(HBV)and hepatitis C virus(HCV)seropositive.Serum level of alpha fetoprotein(AFP)was elevated in six patients.Tumor could be located at all lobes of the liver and mainly in the right lobe(eight of 15 cases),with varied size and solitary or multiple tumor.Conclusions Symptoms in GSD typeⅠcomplicated with HCC Was latent at onset.and AFP measurement was questionable in its diagnosis.It is important that physicians should keep more alert to risk of HCC in patients with GSD for its early diagnosis.

Objective To analyze the application of quality control cycle (QCC) in reducing the false negative rate of minimal residual disease (MRD) of flow cytometry in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Methods In AML patients with abnormal fusion gene detected in hematology laboratory of Changhai Hospital during the year of 2014, the prevalence of AML-MRD detected both by flow cytometry (FCM) and real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (FQ-PCR) were analyzed retrospectively. The possible causes of false negative rate of flow cytometric MRD referring to PCR were further deeply analyzed, and the improvement measures were adapted from January 2015 to December 2015 and further judged all according to the QCC methods. Results Pareto diagram showed that the dilution and coagulation of the specimen, the improper analysis strategy and the incomplete combination of the MRD index [composition ratio:83.3 % (60/72)] were the main factors leading to the leakage of FCM MRD in 2014. The QCC group devised measures to reduce the dilution probability of bone marrow and develop a standard operating procedures (SOP) for sampling and testing, strengthen the maintenance of the flow instrument and more importantly, focused on optimizing the antibody panels and gated strategies referring to the current two main kinds of MRD detection combination modes on the basis of the latest advances published in 2015. Finally, the undetected rate of AML-MRD was reduced by FCM from 14.8 % (72/486) in 2014 to 2.6 % (16/620) in 2015. Conclusions The QCC can effectively reduce the leakage rate of flow cytometric AML MRD, improve the ability of laboratory quality control and the ability to solve problems. Solving problems with QCC is thus worthy of being popularized.

Advance care planning(ACP)is designed to ensure that patients lacking autonomous decision-making capacity receive medical services in accordance with their expectations and preferences.Individuals with advanced cancer are a crucial target for ACP implementation.However,the current practice of ACP in this group in China is suboptimal,demanding high-quality implementation evidence to strengthen ACP in the clinical practice of patients with advanced cancer.The existing literature can be summarized into 27 pieces of evidence across 7 dimensions,including initiation time,intervention content,intervention providers,intervention modalities,communication skills,outcome indicators,and environmental support.The aforementioned evidence could provide crucial support for improving ACP implementation for patients with advanced cancer.Subsequent research efforts should integrate patient preferences and explore the most suitable implementation strategies for ACP in the Chinese population with advanced cancer,considering diverse aspects such as traditional culture,ACP education and training,legislative support,and healthcare system refinement.

Objective:To analyze the risk factors,clinical characteristics and prognosis of the pneumocystis pneumonia(PCP) that is one of the severe pulmonary complications after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation(allo-HSCT).Methods:The clinical features,laboratory data,treatment and outcomes of patients with PCP after allo-HSCT in our hospital from January,2016 to January,2021 were retrospectively collected and analyzed.Results:Twenty three cases who met the clinical diagnostic criteria of PCP were enrolled. The median time of diagnosed as PCP after transplantation was 221 days. The computed tomography (CT) of chest indicated diffuse ground glass opacity.The median of β-1,3-D glucan consentration was 894.25 ng/L, and 91.3% of the cases were over 60 ng/L.The lymphocyte count in 60.9% cases was lower than 1×10 9/L;CD4 +T lymphocyte count in 65.2% of patients was less than 200/μL. Pneumocytis sequences of mNGS were positive in all 21 cases.15 patients were complicated with mixed infection.All patients were treated with TMP-SMX,18 patients were cured and 5 patients died. Conclusions:Patients with PCP after allo-HSCT progresses rapidly, and which is usually with multiple infections. Serum β-1,3-D glucan concentration increase contributes to the diagnosis of PCP.And mNGS in alveolar lavage fluid is highly sensitive to Pneumocystis, which helps patients get treatment in time, so as to reduce mortality.Patients with respiratory failure progressing to a need for mechanical ventilation and high flow oxygen inhalation suggest a poor prognosis.

Objective To determine the prevalence of cervical type-specific human papillomavirus (HPV)infection as well as risk factors associated in Tibet Autonomous Region of China.Methods A cluster sampling study was performed in Lasa,Rikaze and Naqu of Tibet.An epidemiological questionnaire was applied and 3036 cervical specimens were obtained for liquid-based cytology and HPV DNA detection.Statistical analysis included Wald Chi-square and stepwise logistic regression model.Results The overall HPV prevalence of involved 3036 women was 9.19%(279/3036),of which 7.05%(214/3036)of the women were infected by high-risk types (including 14 sorts of types) and 2.14%(65/3036)by low-risk types(including 6 sorts of types).There were no significant differences of HPV prevalence between age groups(P=0.936),race(P=0.718)and areas(P=0.746),respectively.Twenty-one types of HPV were detected,of which HPV16(1.52%) was the most common type,followed by HPV33(1.42%).HPV58(1.22%),HPV52(1.15%),and HPV31(1.05%).HPV type distribution was varied by age.Of the 279 HPV infected women.14.3%(40/279)exhibited multiple HPV infections.Independent risk factors for HPV infection were smoking(P=0.027),number of sex partners(P=0.198)and early age of first intercourse(P=0.237).Conclusion The overall prevalence of HPV infection in Tibet Autonomous Region is lower than that in China or abroad,in which the most common genotype is HPV16 and the independent risk factors for HPV infection included early age of first intercourse,smoking,and number of Bex partners.

OBJECTIVETo explore the effects and possible mechanisms of decitabine on Molt4 in vitro.
METHODSEffects of decitabine on cells proliferation were detected by using CCK-8, the apoptosis by Annexin V-FITC, cell cycles by propidium iodide-FACS. Discrepancy genes were screened by RNA-seq technique. The CpG methylation of lactoferrin (LTF) gene in Molt4 cells were identified by Bisulfite sequencing PCR (BSP). The expression of LTF mRNA in Molt4 by RT-PCR and LTF protein expression were analyzed by Western blot.
RESULTSDecitabine effectively inhibited proliferation and induced apoptosis for Molt4 cells by an time- and dose-dependent manners. Cell cycles were arrested at the G₀/G₁ phase. The promoter methylation degree of LTF gene in Molt4 cells was 72.3% before decitabine treatment and decreased to 45.0% after treatment with 0.50 μmol/L decitabine for 72 h. After the reduction of methylation, expression of its mRNA and protein increased, meanwhile caspase 3 and caspase 9 protein expression levels increased.
CONCLUSIONThe demethylating drug decitabine can induce apoptosis, detain cell cycle at phase G₀/G₁, inhibit proliferation and up-regulate LTF gene expression in Molt4 cells. LTF may become a new target for acute T lymphoblastic leukemia.
