ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical application value of thromboelastographic parameters in assessing coagulation function by analyzing the thromboelastographic features of patients with primary liver cancer （PLC）， and to provide a basis for coagulation management and prognostic evaluation in liver cancer patients. MethodsA retrospective analysis was performed for 1 253 PLC patients who were admitted to The First Affiliated Hospital of Xi’an Jiaotong University from May 2015 to December 2022. According to the presence or absence of cirrhosis， the patients were divided into non-cirrhosis group with 262 patients and cirrhosis group with 991 patients， and according to the presence or absence of HBV infection， they were divided into HBV infection group with 1 055 patients and non-HBV infection group with 198 patients. The patients were stratified based on the severity of liver cirrhosis （Child-Pugh class and MELD score） and liver reserve function （indocyanine green retention rate at 15 minutes ［ICGR15］）， and thromboelastography was used to measure thromboelastographic parameters （reaction time ［R］， coagulation formation time ［K］， α-angle， maximum thrombosis amplitude ［MA］， and coagulation composite index ［CI］） and conventional coagulation markers. The t-test was used for comparison of normally distributed continuous data between two groups； a one-way analysis of variance was used for comparison between multiple groups， and the least significant difference t-test was used for further comparison between two groups. The Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of non-normally distributed continuous data between two groups； the Kruskal-Wallis H test was used for comparison between multiple groups， and the Bonferroni correction method was used for further comparison between two groups. The chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between grouips， and the Spearman test was used for correlation analysis. ResultsAmong the 991 patients in the cirrhosis group， 826 had Child-Pugh class A （5 — 6 points）， and 165 had Child-Pugh class B （7 — 9 points）； 812 had an MELD score of <10， and 179 had an MELD score of ≥10； 679 had an ICGR15 of <10%， and 294 had an ICGR15 of ≥10%. Compared with the patients with Child-Pugh class A， the patients with Child-Pugh class B had a significantly longer K time and significant reductions in α-angle， MA， and CI （all P <0.001）； compared with the MELD score <10 group， the MELD score ≥10 group had a significantly longer K time and significant reductions in α-angle， MA， and CI （all P<0.001）； compared with the ICGR15 <10% group， the ICGR15 ≥10% group had a significantly longer K time and a significant reduction in MA （both P <0.001）. Among the 1 253 patients， MA was strongly positively correlated with fibrinogen and platelet count （r=0.675 and 0.667， both P<0.001）； The MA had a weak correlation with Child-Pugh score， MELD score， and ICGR15 （r=-0.112， -0.250， and -0.117， all P<0.001）， while the K time，α-angle and CI were weakly correlated with the MELD score （r=0.222， -0.184， and -0.183， all P<0.001），R time was negatively correlated with ICGR15 （r=-0.080， P=0.005）. The HBV infection group had significantly higher MA and CI than the non-HBV infection group （P<0.05）. ConclusionThromboelastography can sensitively identify the hypocoagulable state associated with the progression of liver cirrhosis and the hypercoagulable tendency in HBV-related liver cancer， which provides an important reference for individualized anticoagulant therapy in clinical practice.

Objective:To explore the clinical manifestations and genetic basis for a rare case of Generalized arterial calcification of infancy (GACI).Methods:A 44-day-old female infant who was treated at Baoding Hospital of Beijing Children′s Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University on August 26, 2022 was selected as the study subject. Clinical data of the child was collected, and Trio-whole exome sequencing (Trio-WES), whole genome copy number variation sequencing (CNV-seq) and minigene splicing assay were carried out to analyze the pathogenicity of the variants.Results:The child had presented with fever and high inflammatory indicators, for which treatment with various antibiotics was ineffective. Ultrasound had revealed extensive arterial calcification and arterial wall thickening. The child was suspected for GACI with arteritis related to the primary disease. Her fever was relieved by treatment with glucocorticoid and biological agents. Trio-WES revealed that she has harbored compound heterozygous variants of the ABCC6 gene, namely c. 4404-1G>A and c. 4041+ 5G>T, for which the latter was unreported previously. Based on the guidelines from the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics, the variants were classified as likely pathogenic (PVS1+ PM2_Supporting) and variant of unknown significance (PM2_Supporting+ PM3+ PP3), respectively. The result of CNV-seq was negative. And the minigene splicing assay has further verified that both variants can result in alternative splicing. Conclusion:For pyrexia with unknown causes and refractory to conventional treatment, it is necessary to recommend early genetic testing to avoid missed diagnosis of GACI.

Objective:To explore effect of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells(hUC-MSCs)on macrophage M1/M2 polarization.Methods:hUC-MSCs were co-cultured with pTHP-1 cells which were macrophage-like cells induced by PMA and tran-scriptome sequencing data were analyzed.Differentially expressed genes were screened and analyzed by GO and KEGG enrichment analysis.Effect of hUC-MSCs on pTHP-1 cells proliferation was analyzed by cell proliferation assay(CCK-8 and EdU).Flow cytometry was used to verify influence of hUC-MSCs on relative contents of inflammatory cytokine TNF-α and anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 in pTHP-1 cells which were interaction with LPS.Effect of hUC-MSCs on M1/M2-related molecular phenotype of pTHP-1 cells was studied by qRT-PCR and flow cytometry.Results:Transcriptome sequencing data analysis showed that M1-related genes TNF-α(P<0.05)and HLA-DRA(P<0.01)decreased to a great extent and M2-related gene ARG1(P<0.05)increased to a great extent in pTHP-1 cells after co-culture with hUC-MSCs,suggesting that hUC-MSCs inhibited macrophage M1 polarization.GO and KEGG analysis showed that these dysregulated genes regulated inflammation and immune response.hUC-MSCs inhibited proliferation of pTHP-1 cells,reduced content of TNF-α and increased content of IL-10(P<0.001).qRT-PCR and flow cytometry showed mRNA expressions of HLA-DRA(P<0.05)and CD68(P<0.01)and CD14+CD11c+M1 macrophage percentage were down-regulated,while mRNA expressions of CD163(P<0.001),CD206(P<0.001)and CD14+CD163+M2 macrophage percentage were significantly up-regulated in pTHP-1 cells after co-culture with hUC-MSCs.Conclusion:hUC-MSCs inhibit macrophage polarization to M1 and promote polariza-tion to M2 in vitro.

We retrospectively analyzed the clinical characteristic of one patient with metastatic prostate cancer and the relative literatures were reviewed. A 40-year-old man was admitted and diagnosed as prostate cancer on March 20, 2018(T 4N 1M 1a) with prostate-specific antigen (PSA) at 47.99 ng/ml. The first 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT showed multiple nodular lesions in the bilateral peripheral bands of the prostate, multiple nodular lesions in the right apex, abnormal uptake of nuclides in multiple lymph nodes in the abdominal aortic wandering zone, the abdominal aortic bifurcation zone, and the bilateral iliac artery wandering zone at the level of the lumbar 2-5 vertebral body, and metastasis was considered. The patient was treated with six cycles of drug castration combined with antiandrogenic treatment and pre-operative system chemotherapy(docetaxel). Six months later, the PSA decreased to 0.225ng/ml. Robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy and expanded pelvic lymph node dissection was performed. Postoperative total androgen blocking therapy was maintained, and PSA slowly increased. Ten months after operation, salvage radiotherapy for enlarged lymph nodes was performed in pelvic extension field, prostate tumor bed area and pelvic cavity. PSA remained stable for 7 months postradiotherapy, and then increased. The patient developed castration-resistant prostate cancer and was treated with triptorelin combined with abiraterone. PSA was decreased, and local radiotherapy was performed for new lymph node metastases in the neck. 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT could provide a decision-making basis for accurate clinical staging, therapeutic effect evaluation and distant metastatic lesions location with guiding value for the formulation of individualized treatment plans.

Hormone-sensitive prostate cancer with visceral metastasis is a difficulty in clinical diagnosis and treatment. We treated a patient with hormone-sensitive prostate cancer with visceral metastasis and managed it under the multi-disciplinary treatment model (MDT). A 55-year-old man presented to the hospital complaining of increased prostate-specific antigen (PSA) found in the physical examination for 2 days. At admission, the PSA was 389.2ng/ml, and 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT showed metastatic malignant lesions of the prostate, with lymph node metastasis, lumbar vertebral metastases and liver tubercles. Transrectal prostate puncture biopsy: prostate adenocarcinoma, Gleason score of 4+ 5=9. The patient has no history of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) and diagnosed as metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC). Then the patient received total androgen blockade therapy (CAB regimen). After MDT discussion, metastatic prostate cancer was diagnosed based on the liver histopathology of percutaneous biopsy. After the second MDT discussion, the regimen was changed to abirone plus ADT. After 6 months, the blood PSA was controlled at a level between 0.003 to 0.006 ng/ml, and the testosterone was less than 2.5ng/dl. Re-examination of 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT showed that lower signal of radionuclide in all lesions, especially no more abnormal uptake lesions were identified in the liver.

Objective:To explore the observation and nursing of patients with acute mass asphyxia poisoning with pulmonary bullae treated by nasal high-flow humidification and oxygen therapy.Methods:Review and summarize the data of 5 patients with acute mass asphyxial gas poisoning with pulmonary vesicles who were admitted to the department of toxicology of this hospital in June 2019 and received nasal high-flow humidification and oxygen therapy. The oxygenation index, airway humidification and prognosis were observed.Results:All the 5 patients were successfully transferred to nasal catheter for oxygen inhalation after nasal high-flow humidification and orygen therapy without intubation. When discharged from the hospital without oxygen, pH: 7.36-7.42, PO 2:82-106 mmHg, PCO 2:32-39 mmHg. All the white blood cells and myocardial enzymes were normal, and there was no brain injury, perinasal skin damage and abdominal distension. Conclusion:Nasal high-flow humidification and oxygen therapy can effectively improve the efficacy of oxygen therapy for patients with acute mass asphyxial gas poisoning with pulmonary vacuoles.

Objective: To determine the changes in peripheral plasma concentrations of interleukin-10 (IL-10), interleukin -12 (IL-12) and interfoeron-γ(IFN-γ) in the patients with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection and their correlations with HBV infection stage or HBV DNA load of HBV carriers. Methods: Data of 135 patients with chronic HBV infection from March 2016 to March 2017 were collected, the patients included 32 chronic HBV carriers, 61 with chronic hepatitis and 42 with cirrhosis. Forty healthy subjects served as controls. The concentrations of IL-10, IL-12 and IFN-γ were determined using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Correlation analysis was performed using the Pearson correlation test, which was performed to analyze the correlation between IL-10, IL-12, IFN-γ and HBV infection stage, HBV DNA load of HBV carriers. Results: Compared with those in healthy controls, plasma IL-10 and IL-12 levels in patients with chronic hepatitis and cirrhosis increased significantly (F=22.06, 15.67, P=0.013, 0.021), plasma IL-10 and IL-12 levels in cirrhosis cases were higher than those in chronic hepatitis (all P<0.001), plasma IL-10 and IL-12 levels in chronic hepatitis were higher than those in chronic HBV carriers (all P<0.001). Plasma IFN-γ level in chronic HBV carriers, chronic hepatitis and cirrhosis were significantly higher than those in healthy controls (F=18.36, P=0.017). There were statistically significant differences in IFN-γ levels among the three groups in the chronic HBV carriers, chronic hepatitis and cirrhosis. IL-10, IL-12 and IFN-γ levels of the low, medium and high HBV DNA load groups were statistically significant (all P<0.05). There was no correlation between IL-10 and HBV DNA. IFN-γ, IL-12 and HBV DNA load were negatively correlated. There was no correlation between IL-10 and IFN-γ (r=0.103, P>0.05), IL-12 and IFN-γ were significantly positively correlated (r=0.687, P<0.05). Conclusions IL-10, IL-12 and IFN-γ may play an important role in the chronic HBV infection.

Objective To summarize the experience of perioperative treatment of lung transplantation for end-stage lung disease. Methods Perioperative clinical data of 7 recipients undergoing lung transplantation were retrospectively analyzed, including 3 cases with bilateral lung transplantation and 4 cases with unilateral lung transplantation. The perioperative status and clinical prognosis of lung transplantation recipients were observed. Results The operation time of 7 lung transplantation recipients was (344±133) min. Cold ischemia time was (236±74) min in 4 cases of single-lung transplantation and (480±120) min in 3 cases of bilateral-lung transplantation. The length of Intensive care unit(ICU) stay was 21 (13-25) d and the length of hospital stay was 101 (64-117) d. In the first 3 d after surgery, the daily fluid output was significantly larger than the fluid input (all P < 0.05). The arterial oxygen partial pressure (PaO₂) of lung transplantation recipients in the first 3 d after surgery was significantly elevated than preoperative level (all P < 0.05), whereas the arterial carbon dioxide pressure (PaCO₂) did not significantly change (all P > 0.05). All recipients had pulmonary bacterial infection after lung transplantation, including 3 cases complicated with fungal infection. One recipient underwent exploratory thoracotomy for hemostasis due to active thoracic bleeding after operation, 1 recipient suffered from primary graft dysfunction (PGD) and 4 recipients received secondary endotracheal intubation. Two cases died after operation, 1 case died of septicemia caused by multidrug-resistant acinetobacter baumannii, the other case died of rejection reaction after self-terminating use of immunosuppressive agents. The remaining 5 cases were successfully discharged and recovered well. The longest survival period was 3.1 years. Conclusions In the perioperative management of lung transplantation, it has great significance to hold the surgical indications, monitor and manage postoperative refined fluid and hemodynamics, implement the strategy of protective pulmonary ventilation, and early diagnose and treat severe postoperative complications for the recipients of lung transplantation to safety through the perioperative period.
