T cells can be genetically modified to target tumors through the expression of a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR). Most notably, CAR T cells have demonstrated its clinical efficacy in hematologic malignancies with evident responses when targeting solid tumors. However, CAR T cells therapy also has the capacity to elicit expected and unexpected toxicities including cytokine release syndrome, neurologic toxicity, on target/off tumor recognition, and anaphylaxis. Theoretical toxicities include clonal expansion secondary to insertional oncogenesis, graft versus host disease, and off-target antigen recognition. Abrogating toxicity has become a critical step in the successful application of this emerging technology. To this end, we review the reported and theoretical toxicities of CAR T cells therapy and strategies to cope with it.

Follow-up is the key link for the continued rehabilitation of stroke patients after discharge. It is conducive to the dynamic assessment of the disease and the recovery of dysfunction, to improving the medication compliance of patients, and to reducing the risk of complications and stroke recurrence. With the development of society, the contents and forms of follow-up for stroke patients are becoming more and more abundant; however, the problems such as incomprehensive and not unified contents, a lack of standardization, and high rate of lost still exist. This paper reviews the necessity of follow-up and its application in the rehabilitation of stroke patients after discharge, so as to provide the reference for perfecting the management of follow-up in community rehabilitation for stroke patients.

OBJECTIVE: To present a new approach for the research of effective components extracted from compounds of traditional Chinese medicine and their action mechanisms by high-throughput screening assay. METHODS: We observed the anti-oxidation activities of 240 sequential components (L1-L120 and A1-A120) extracted from Xiaoxuming Recipe, the effects of these components on SH-SY5Y cells with H(2)O(2)-induced and L-glutamic acid-induced damages and the levels of resting calcium ion in neurocytes of rats. RESULTS: Some components (L1-L40, A100-A120) extracted from Xiaoxuming Recipe had the corresponding effects listed above. The combination of these components was regarded as the groups of effective components of Xiaoxuming Recipe in treating sequelae resulting from brain ischemia. CONCLUSION: Xiaoxuming Recipe has protective effect on brain-ischemia-induced damages through the actions of multiple components with multiple targets.

Objective To detect eight kinds of clinical common pathogenic bacteria by DNA microarray.Methods Eight kinds of common pathogenic bacteria,including Staphylococcus aureus,Pseudomonas aeruginosa,Klebsiella pneumoniae,Escherichia coli,Proteus mirabilis,Enterobacter aerogenes,Pseudomonas fluorescens,Shigella sonnei were collected.Universal primers were designed to amplify 16S rRNA gene fragment from the genomic DNA of the eight bacteria,and probes were designed in the highly variable regions.DNA microarray detection system was established and used for detection of colleted bacteria.A total of 50 samples were collected from the Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University,including 6 blood samples,32 sputum samples,9 feces samples and 3 bronchoscope lavage samples.DNA were extracted and detected by the established DNA microarray system.Results The desired fragments were well amplified by the self-designed universal primers.The selected probes had good detection results according to repeated detection.Of the 50 samples detected,pathgenic bacteria were accurately detected in 47 samples.Other three samples were not detected as those bacteria were not included in the chip.By optimizing the detection process,the results could be reported within 8 hours.Observation of probe signal attenuation indicated that even attenuated after 60 days,but the attenuation did not affect the results.Conclusion A microarray system was established for detection of clinical common bacteria accurately and quickly,which provided foundation for its clinical application.

Objective To develop a gene microarray system for detection of clinical common pathogenic fungi.MethodsThere were 8 clinical common fungi chosen as the subjects including Candida albicans,Candida glabrata,Candida tropicalis,Candida parapsilokis,Candida pseudotropicalis,Aspergillus terreus,Aspergillus flavus,Aspergillus oryzae,Aspergillus fumigatus.Universal primers,probes and specific probes for the PCR amplification and microarray preparation were designed in ITS region of the fungi genomic DNA.The PCR products amplified from those fungi's genome DNA were denatured and hybridized with the probes in gene microarray.The rapid detection of fungi was based on the investigation on the fluorescent signal intensity in the chip.The detection results of gene microarray system were verified by true positive and negative clinical samples.Results There were totally 25 positive samples identified by clinical routine microbiological methods.The 10 samples identified as bacteria positive were determined as negative without fluorescent signal by the fungi gene microarray,while the 12 samples identified as fungi positive were determined as positive with certain fungus by the fungi gene microarray.And 3 artificial Candida krusei samples were detected as fungi positive,while they were failure to be identified as certain fungus.There was no fluorescent signal in positions of the 8 fungi specific probes,but there was fluorescent signal in the position of fungi universal probe.It indicated that there were fungi in the samples but it couldn't identify the species of the fungi,because the Candida krusei wasn't included in the detection fungi list of the fungi gene microarray.ConclusionsThe fungi gene microarray established by the study could detect the common fungi in clinic rapidly and accurately.This study lays technology foundation for clinical application of gene chip.

Objectives To investigate the inlfuence of polymorphisms of SLC19A1 80G>A, MDR1 exon26C>T and MDR1 exon21G>T/A on curative effect and adverse reaction of high-dose methotrexate in patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Methods MALDI-TOF-MS technique was used to detect the polymorphisms of SLC19A1 80G>A, MDR1 exon 26C>T and MDR1 exon21G>T/A in 108 patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). The relationship of genetic polymorphism, survival rate and toxicity was analyzed. Results The 36-month event-free survival was not related to any polymorphisms of MDR1 and SLC19A1. Patients with mutant types of MDR1 exon26C>T and MDR1 exon21G>T/A showed a much higher MTX plasma levels at 24 hours and higher incidence of hepatic injury (P<0.05). Conclusions The genetic polymorphism of MDR1 exon26>T, MDR1 exon21G>T/A has a large inlfuence on hepatic toxicity and plasma concentra-tions of MTX.

Background: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) exert an essential contribution to obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This study aimed to investigate the differences of miRNAs in the presence and absence of T2DM in patients with obesity, as well as before and after bariatric surgery in T2DM patients with obesity. Characterization of the common changes in both was further analyzed. Methods: We enrolled 15 patients with obesity but without T2DM and 15 patients with both obesity and T2DM. Their preoperative clinical data and serum samples were collected, as well as 1 month after bariatric surgery. The serum samples were analyzed by miRNA sequencing, and the miRNAs profiles and target genes characteristics were compared. Results: Patients with T2DM had 16 up-regulated and 32 down-regulated miRNAs compared to patients without T2DM. Improvement in metabolic metrics after bariatric surgery of T2DM patients with obesity was correlated with changes in miRNAs, as evidenced by the upregulation of 20 miRNAs and the downregulation of 30 miRNAs. Analysis of the two miRNAs profiles identified seven intersecting miRNAs that showed opposite changes. The target genes of these seven miRNAs were substantially enriched in terms or pathways associated with T2DM. Conclusion We determined the expression profiles of miRNAs in the obese population, with and without diabetes, before and after bariatric surgery. The miRNAs that intersected in the two comparisons were discovered. Both the miRNAs discovered and their target genes were closely associated with T2DM, demonstrating that they might be potential targets for the regulation of T2DM.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between tube voltage kV value for head and neck CT angiography and body weight.Methods:A total of 120 patients with suspected vascular disease of the head and neck who underwent CT angiography of the head and neck in Beihai People's Hospital from January 2020 to May 2022 were included in this study. Patients were divided into three groups according to different tube voltages: group A (tube voltage 120 kV, n = 45), group B (tube voltage 100 kV, n = 45) and group C (tube voltage 80 kV, n = 30). Patients in group A were divided into group A1 (< 70 kg, n = 15), group A2 (70-85 kg, n = 15) and group A3 (> 85 kg, n = 15) according to different body weights. Patients in group B were divided into group B1 (< 70 kg, n = 15), group B2 (70-85 kg, n = 15) and group B3 (> 85 kg, n = 15) according to different body weights. Patients in group C were divided into group C1 (< 70 kg, n = 15) and group C2 (70-85 kg, n = 15) according to different body weights. Group C3 was not used. The contrast medium used was Loversol. The CT value, image noise, signal-to-noise ratio, contrast to noise ratio, and effective radiation dose of arterial vessels in each group were measured. The images were subjectively evaluated by two physicians who had senior professional titles using a 5-point rating scale. Results:Subjective score of image quality was all ≥ 3 grade in each group. There was no significant difference in image quality rating between groups A1 and A2 and groups B1, B2, and C1. There was a remarkable difference in image quality rating between groups A3, B3, and C2 and the other groups. There was a significant difference in the CT value of blood vessels at four different levels between groups A1, B1 and C1 ( F = 76.82, 64.62, 98.79, 71.85, all P < 0.001). There was a significant difference in CT value of blood vessels at four different levels between groups A2, B2 and C2 ( F = 159.82, 112.33, 108.22, 135.18, all P < 0.001). There was a significant difference in CT value of blood vessels at four different levels between groups A3 and B3 ( t = 4.40, 4.27, 3.91, 3.59, all P < 0.05). In groups B3 and C2, the image noise was remarkably increased, signal to noise ratio and contrast to noise ratio were remarkably decreased compared with those in the other groups. The effective radiation dose of arterial vessels in group B1 was 47% lower than that in group A1 and the effective radiation dose of arterial vessels in group C1 was 73% lower than that in group A1 ( F = 116.18, P < 0.001). The effective radiation dose of arterial vessels in group B2 was 49% lower than that in group A2, and the effective radiation dose of arterial vessels in group C2 was 66% lower than that in group A2 ( H = 35.40, P < 0.001). The effective radiation dose in group B3 was 35% lower than that in group A3 ( t = 3.59, P < 0.05). Conclusion:In CT angiography of the head and neck, the selection of tube voltage kV value is related to body weight. Tube voltage 80 kV is suitable for patients with a body weight < 70 kg, tube voltage 100 kV for patients with a body weight of 70-85 kg, and tube voltage 120 kV for patients with a body weight > 85 kg. These tube voltages can decrease effective radiation dose and ensure image quality, meeting the requirement for clinical diagnosis.

Objective:To explore the influence of online and offline family therapy based on the Satir model on emotions of adolescents with depressive disorder and their parents in remote areas.Methods:A total of 98 cases adolescents with depressive disorder treated in the psychosomatic medicine of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University from January 2021 to June 2021 and their parents were selected as the objects. The adolescents with depressive disorder and their parents were randomly divided into the control group (49 parents and 49 adolescents) and the observation group (49 parents and 49 adolescents). The control group received the medical treatment (sertraline 100 mg/d) and the routine health education, while the observation group received the online and offline Satir family therapy on the basis of the intervention of the control group. Generalized anxiety disorder-7 (GAD-7) and patient health questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) were used to investigate the negative emotions of the parents of the two groups before and 12 weeks after the intervention. The screen for child anxiety related emotional disorders (SCARED) and depression self-rating scale for childhood (DSRS) were used to investigate the negative emotions of the adolescents before and 12 weeks after the intervention.The SPSS 20.0 software was used for statistical analysis. t test was used to compare the SCARED scale score and DSRS score changes of the adolescents in the two groups, and χ 2 test was used to compare the proportional changes of parents' anxiety and depression. Results:The scores of SCARED (51.55±12.69 vs 36.82±7.69, t=15.839) and DSRS (25.08±4.81 vs 16.88±2.16, t=13.047) of adolescents in the control group were significantly different before and after the intervention (both P<0.05). The scores of SCARED (51.16±15.84 vs 31.31±7.72, t=14.385) and DSRS (24.12±4.81 vs 14.08±2.03, t=14.723) of adolescents in the observation group were significantly different before and after the intervention (both P<0.05). After the intervention, the scores of SCARED and DSRS in the observation group were lower than those in the control group ( t=3.540, 6.609, both P<0.05). Before intervention, there was no significant difference in the proportion of anxiety and depression between the parents of the two groups (χ 2=1.837, 3.547, both P>0.05). After 12 weeks of intervention, there was a statistically significant difference in the proportion of anxiety and depression between the two groups, which were lower in the observation group than those in the control group (χ 2=5.995, 4.009, both P<0.05). Conclusion:Online + offline family therapy based on the Satir model can not only effectively reduce anxiety and depression of adolescents, but also effectively reduce anxiety and depression of their parents.It is especially suitable for outpatient management of children with depressive disorder in remote areas.
