Objective To analyze the therapeutic outcomes and adverse effects of high-dose intravenous immunoglobulin (hd-IVIg) in the treatment of some severe skin diseases (toxic epidermal necrolysis, drug hypersensitivity syndrome, connective tissue disease, autoimmune bullous disease, acute graft-versus-host disease). Methods Twenty-five cases of severe skin diseases were treated with hd-IVIg (0.4 g/kg/day for a course of 5 days). Results The therapeutic outcomes were different from each other. Of all the cases, 21 improved, especially those of acute onset of toxic epidermal necrolysis and drug hypersensitivity syndrome; 1 adult dermatomyositis and 2 elder bullous pemphigoid were not relieved. A patient with acute graft-versus-host disease died. Three patients presented with minor adverse effects (headache and blood pressure rising). Conclusions hd-IVIg is effective and safe in the treatment of some severe skin diseases. More importantly, it has a substantial effect on shortening disease course and decreasing the dosage of glucocorticoids and immunosuppressants as well as on preventing infections.

Objective:To explore the clinical effect of lenalidomide combined with anti-B-cell maturation antigen chimeric antigen receptor T cell (anti-BCMA CAR-T) in the treatment of relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM).Methods:The clinical data of a patient with RRMM who underwent lenalidomide combined with anti-BCMA CAR-T therapy in Henan Province Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine in January 2020 were analyzed. Clinical manifestations, diagnosis and treatment were also analyzed, and the related literature was reviewed.Results:The patient was a 51-year-old man who was diagnosed as IgD-λ multiple myeloma (MM) in October 2015. The patient achieved remission after 10 courses of chemotherapy regimens including immunomodulators and proteasome inhibitors, followed by autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. MM relapsed after 14 months of transplantation. His disease continued to progress after multiple chemotherapy regimens and mouse or human-derived anti-BCMA CAR-T therapy. After a conditioning chemotherapy regimen of fludarabine and cyclophosphamide, the patient took lenalidomide on day 1 and was infused human-derived anti-BCMA CAR-T cells on the next day. Grade 3 cytokine releasing syndrome (CRS) appeared after infusion, and was resolved after symptomatic treatment. Very good partial response (VGPR) was achieved on day 14 after anti-BCMA CAR-T treatment. VGPR had been maintained for more than 3 months by press time.Conclusion:Lenalidomide combined with anti-BCMA CAR-T therapy is feasible and effective in the treatment of RRMM.

Objective To study the resistance mechanism of Ureaplasma urealyticum (Uu) to erythromycin.Methods The susceptibility of 73 clinical isolates of Uu to erythromycin was evaluated by using broth dilution techniques. PCR and DNA sequencing were carried out to screen hot spot mutations at the variable region of 23S ribosomal RNA in erythromycin-resistant strains of Uu. Moreover, erythromycin resistance methylase genes (ermA, ermB, ermC) and efflux pump genes (mefA/E, msrA/B, mreA) were screened by using PCR with specific primers. Results There were 35 (47.95%) resistant Uu strains out of the 73 isolates, and the minimal inhibitory concentration varied from 8 to 32 mg/L among these resistant strains. The ermB gene was detected in 19 (54.29%) resistant strains, and msrA/B gene in 9 (25.71%) resistant strains. Two resistant strains harbored both ermB gene and msrA/B gene. No mutation at 23S ribosomal RNA or amplification of resistance-associated genes was noted in sensitive or reference strains of Uu. Conclusion The ermB and msrA/B genes may be responsible for the erythromycin resistance of Uu.

Objective To study the ability of standard strain and clinical isolates of Ureaplasma spp. to form biofilms in vitro and to compare the antibiotic susceptibility of sessile cells and their planktonic counterparts. Methods A total of 21 Ureaplasma wealyticum(Uu) isolates recovered from female patients diagnosed with cervicitis and Uu serovar 3 and Uu serovar 8( Uu3, Uu8) were included. Scanning electron microscope and confocal scanning laser microscopy were used to identify biofilm formation. Conventional antibiotic susceptibility tests and biofilm susceptibility assays for tetracycline, erythromycin and ciprofloxacin were carried out. The paired rank sum test and was applied to analyze the statistical differences between the MIC and the minimal biofilm inhibitory concentration. The x2 test was applied to analyze the statistical differences of global resistance percentages between planktonic cells and sessile cells. Results Uu3, Uu8 and 21 Uu isolates all can form biofilms in vitro. Minimal inhibitory concentration of sessile cells compared with planktonic cells were obviously higher for tetracycline, erythromycin and ciprofloxacin (P <0.001). Global resistance percentages between planktonic cells and sessile cells were different for erythromycin (9.52% vs 61.90% , P < 0. 001), ciprofloxacin ( 80. 95% vs 100% , P = 0. 035 ) and tetracycline (4. 76% vs 14.29% , P =0.293). Conclusion Uu isolates and Uu1, Uu8 all can form biofilms in vitro, and biofilm formation can strengthen resistance of Uu to antibiotics, even multidrug resistance was observed.

8.Advance of improving the survival rate of transplanted cells in myocardial infarction area
Chinese Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery 2017;33(9):573-576
Myocardial infarction and other cardiovascular diseases are one of the main causes of human death.Myocardial infarction leads to a reduction in the number of regional myocardial cells,cardiac decompensation,myocardial fibrosis,and heart failure.At present,the main treatment methods of myocardial infarction include drug therapy,coronary stent implantation,coronary artery bypass grafting and heart transplantation.However,these methods have limitations.In particular,irreversible heart failure cause by myocardial fibrosis and ventricular remodeling is difficult to treat.Cell transplantation therapy can repair necrotic myocardium,which may provide a potential for myocardial regeneration.However,the survival rate of transplanted cells is low,which affects the effect of transplantation.The review focuses on the development of cell transplantation therapy in recent years and the factors that improve the survival rate of transplanted cells.

For the purpose of detecting the HBD-2 expression at protein level, the recombinant prokaryotic expression vector pGEX-1lambdaT-HBD-2 was constructed and the E. coli-based product of GST-HBD-2 fusion protein was prepared. When rabbit was immunized with the fusion protein, the anti-serum against HBD-2 was produced. After caprylic acid and ammonium sulfate precipitation, high titer of specific polyclonal antibody against HBD-2, which was detected by ELISA and Western blot, was obtained. This result suggests that recombinant peptide fusion protein could be used instead of the conjugate of peptide-albumin or peptide-thyroid globulin to produce antibody. The obtained antibodies could be used for revealing the tissue distribution of HBD-2 and the regulation of its gene expression.
