Peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) is a relatively common subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma in China. PTCL is clinically highly aggressive, and it progresses rapidly. The current treatment methods are ineffective and the overall prognosis is poor. The 62nd American Society of Hematology Annual Meeting reported on the progress of PTCL molecular targeted therapy and immunotherapy, including programmed death receptor 1/programmed death receptor ligand 1 antibodies, JAK inhibitors, brentuximab vedotin, etc. These novel drugs bring a better prospect for patients.

Objective CA125 has been proved to be closely related to peritoneal metastasis of gastric cancer.This study aimed to screen and identify a novel ssDNA aptamer targeting the extracellular domain of Mucin16. Methods Using capillary elec-trophoresis, we screened the aptamers targeting the synthetic peptide of the extracellular domain of Mucin16 and quantitatively deter-mined the Kd value of each cycle and the affinity of the aptamers for the synthetic peptide by CE-SELEX.Then we evaluated the ability of the obtained aptamers to target cancer cells using confocal laser imaging. Results After five cycles of screening, sequencing, af-finity determination, we obtained an ssDNA aptamer targeting the extracellular domain of Mucin16, with a Kd value of 122.7 nm and visible green fluorescent signals on the cell membrane of the human ovarian cancer cell line expressing Mucin16, but not on that of the normal hepatocytes not expressing Mucin16.This confirmed the binding ability of the aptamer to the extracellular domain of Mucin16. Conclusion A novel aptamer targeting the synthetic peptide of the extracellular domain of Mucin16 was successfully obtained by capil-lary electrophoresis, which could be used as a new agent in the diagnosis and treatment of peritoneal metastasis of gastric cancer.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of interventional catheter drainage combined with ozone therapy for the management of postoperative enterocutaneous fistula. Method A total of 70 patients with postoperative enterocutaneous fistula were enrolled and divided into group A (35, conventional surgical treatment) and group B (35, interventional catheter drainage and ozone therapy). Clinical efficiency, hospital stays, hospital expenses and complications were compared. Follow-up observations of the infection score in 2 groups before and after treatment (3 days, 1 week, 2 weeks and 1 month) were also compared. Results 30 cases in group A recovered (85.7%), and 28 cases in group B recovered (80.0%), the result of which shows no statistic significance. The hospital stays and expense in group B were significantly lower than those in group A. 4 cases of group A suffered from incision complications , 2 intra-abdominal hemorrhage , 1 severe pneumonia and 1 septic shock. 2 cases in group B suffered from stomachache. The differences can be shown significantly. The infection score between the two groups shows no significant difference, but the score was found to be obviously lower after treatment than before. The infection score decreased by an average of 19.9 in group A and 23.5 in group B,indicating a better anti-infective effect in group B. Conclusion Interventional catheter drainage combined with ozone therapy for the management of postoperative enterocutaneous fistula is safe and effective, with lower hospital stays and expense.

This study aimed to investigate the immune adjuvant effect and mechanism induced by chitosan nanoparticles carrying pJME/GM-CSF. In this study, plasmid DNA (pJME/GM-CSF) was encapsulated in chitosan to prepare chitosan-pJME/GM-CSF nanoparticles using a complex coacervation process. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the type of infiltrating cells at the site of intramuscular injection. The phenotype and functional changes of splenic DCs were measured by flow cytometry after different immunogens were injected intramuscularly. The killing activity of CTLs was assessed using the lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release assay. The preparation of chitosan-pJME/GM-CSF nanoparticles matched the expected theoretical results. Our results also found that, after pJME/GM-CSF injection, the incoming cells were a mixture of macrophages, neutrophils, and immature DCs. Meanwhile, pJME/GM-CSF increased the expression of MHC class II molecules on splenic DCs, and enhanced their Ag capture and presentation functions. Cell-mediated immunity was induced by the vaccine. Furthermore, chitosan-pJME/GM-CSF nanoparticles outperformed the administration of standard pJME/GM-CSF in terms of DC recruitment, antigen processing and presentation, and vaccine enhancement. These findings reveal that chitosan could be used as delivery vector for DNA vaccine intramuscular immunizations, and enhance pJME/GM-CSF-induced cellular immune responses.

Abstract: Objective　To explore the relationship between body mass index (BMI), waist-hip ratio (WHR) and the risk of gout in Urumqi. Methods　A total of 516 male patients with gout in a third-class hospital in Urumqi from 2015 to 2019 were randomly selected as the gout group and 516 male healthy subjects in the same hospital as the control group. The relevant blood biochemical indexes were examined and analyzed. Blood pressure, waist circumference and hip circumference were measured. Body mass index and waist-to-hip ratio were calculated. Logistic regression model was used to analyze the relationship between overweight / obesity, waist-to-hip ratio and the risk of gout. The test level is α = 0.05. Results　Uric acid, glucose, urea nitrogen, creatinine, triglyceride, low-density lipoprotein, systolic blood pressure, weight and waist circumference in gout group were higher than those in control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05); There were no significant differences in age, height and diastolic blood pressure between the two groups (P<0.05). There was a positive correlation between BMI and WHR and the occurrence of gout (r=0.272, 0.345, P<0.05). There were significant differences in BMI, WHR and waist circumference between the gout group and the control group（χ2= 55.338, 54.928, 54.153, P<0.05）. After adjusting for age, aerobic exercise and other confounding factors, the results of multi-factor unconditional Logistic regression analysis showed that the odds ratio (OR) of gout in patients with BMI of 24.00-27.99 kg/m2 and ≥28.00 kg/m2 was 2.005 (1.337-3.006) and 2.677 (1.668-4.296) times higher than that of patients with normal BMI, respectively. The OR value of gout in patients with WHR≥0.90 was 1.668 times higher than that in patients with normal WHR, and the difference was statistically significant. The results of subgroup analysis according to age are generally similar. Conclusions　The BMI and WHR of man with gout in Urumqi are higher than those of normal people, and BMI, waist circumference and WHR are all associated with the incidence of gout. The risk of gout increases with the increase of BMI and WHR.
