Objective To evaluate the clinical significance of bone marrow minimal residual disease (MRD) monitoring by multi-parameter flow cytometry (FCM) regularly after the first complete remission (CR1) in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML).Methods A total of 63 paitents with AML who had got CR1 after chemotherapy were regularly monitored for MRD in bone marrow by FCM,and MRD ≥ 10-4 was positive.According to the latest standards of National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) for disease risks,they were categorized into three groups:better risk group (20 cases),intermediate risk group (27 cases) and poor risk group (16 cases).The probability of continuous complete remission (CCR) was calculated by KaplanMeier formula,and the statistical difference between MRD positivc and MRD negative CCR probabilities was evaluated by log-rank test.Results The positive rates of MRD were 20％(4/20),30％(8/27) and 10/16 in better risk group,intermediate risk group and poor risk group respectively.The difference between better risk group and intermediate risk group had no statistical significance (P=0.454),and the difference between poor risk group and intermediate risk group had statistical significance (P =0.035).Twenty-two cases showed positive MRD,and 41 cases showed negative MRD.The probability of CCR at 24 and 36 months in MRD positive patients were 18％ (4/22),18％ (4/22),in MRD negative patients were 83％ (34/41),80％ (33/41),and there were significant differences (P ＜ 0.01).Conclusions The dynamic detection of MRD by FCM can be used to evaluate the therapeutic effect and prognosis of AML.MRD monitoring has important clinical significance and can help to adjust the intensity of chemotherapy,carry out individualized treatment,predict prognosis,and choose appropriate therapy.

Objective:To observe the effects of acupuncture and moxibustion at Feishu(BL13)on inflammatory responses and intestinal short-chain fatty acids(SCFAs)in rats with asthma. Methods:Fifty-six Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into a normal group(16 rats)and a modeling group(40 rats).Rats in the modeling group were subjected to establishing asthma models using ovalbumin(OVA).Model evaluation was conducted using 4 rats from each group.The remaining rats that successfully developed asthma were then randomly divided into a model group,an acupuncture group,and a moxibustion group,with 12 rats in each group.Rats in the acupuncture group received acupuncture treatments,and those in the moxibustion group received moxibustion treatments,both at Feishu(BL13)for 30 min.Following the treatments,the rats were exposed to atomization excitation with a 1%OVA solution for 20 min daily for 14 consecutive days.At the end of the experiment,inflammatory markers in the rats'peripheral blood were analyzed using a biochemical method.In addition,inflammatory cells in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid(BALF)were counted using Wright-Giemsa staining.The lung tissue of rats was examined under a light microscope after staining with hematoxylin-eosin to observe morphological or pathological changes.Furthermore,real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction was utilized to measure the mRNA expression of inflammatory factors in the lung tissue.Lastly,the concentration of SCFAs in the rat's feces was determined using gas chromatography-hydrogen flame ionization. Results:The levels of eosinophils(Eos),neutrophils(Neu),and lymphocytes(Lym)in the peripheral blood,as well as Eos and Neu in the BALF,and the expression of interleukin(IL)-4,IL-5,IL-13,IL-33,and thymic stromal lymphopoietin(TSLP)mRNAs in the lung tissue were all found to be significantly increased(P<0.05 or P<0.01);the lung tissue structure displayed severe injuries;the levels of acetic acid,propionic acid,isobutyric acid,butyric acid,and valeric acid in the feces decreased significantly in the model group(P<0.05 or P<0.01).Compared with the model group,the peripheral blood levels of Eos,Neu,and Lym,as well as Eos in the BALF,and the mRNA expression levels of IL-4 and IL-5 in the lung tissue decreased significantly in both the acupuncture group and the moxibustion group(P<0.05 or P<0.01).This reduction was accompanied by alleviated pathological damage in the lung tissue.Additionally,there were significant increases in the levels of acetic acid,propionic acid,isobutyric acid,and butyric acid in the feces in both the acupuncture group and the moxibustion group(P<0.05 or P<0.01).In the acupuncture group,the expression levels of Lym in the BALF and IL-13 mRNA in the lung tissue decreased significantly(P<0.05 or P<0.01).In the moxibustion group,the mRNA expression levels of IL-33 and TSLP in the lung tissue also reduced significantly(P<0.05 or P<0.01).Furthermore,the level of valeric acid in the feces increased notably in the moxibustion group(P<0.01).Compared with the acupuncture group,it was found that the mRNA levels of IL-5 and IL-13 in the lung tissue,as well as the acetic acid level in the feces,were significantly higher in the moxibustion group(P<0.05 or P<0.01). Conclusion:Both acupuncture and moxibustion were effective in reducing abnormal inflammation and regulating intestinal SCFAs in asthma model rats.Acupuncture demonstrated superiority in inhibiting pro-inflammatory factors,particularly IL-5 and IL-13,while moxibustion exhibited better regulation on intestinal metabolites SCFAs,especially acetic acid.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is one of the hotspots in the research field of neurodegenerative diseases, and its pathogenesis is still controversial. Trace metal elements play an important role in normal growth and development of the human body. Metal ions can cross the blood-brain barrier and enter the brain, leading to α-synapnuclein aggregation, mitochondrial dysfunction, and degeneration of dopaminergic neurons, and then inducing the occurrence of PD. This article mainly reviewed the potential mechanisms of metal elements in PD, discussed the role of metabolic imbalance of common trace metals (copper, iron, manganese, and zinc) in PD, and put forward new insights into the treatment of PD.

ObjectiveTo explore the possible mechanism of moxibustion at "Feishu （BL13）" and "Tianshu （ST25）" in treatment of bronchial asthma. MethodsA total of 48 SD rats were randomly divided into normal group （n=12） and modeling group （n=36）. The bronchial asthma rat model was established by sensitization with ovalbumin （OVA） injection and aerosol provocation. Thirty-two successfully modeled rats were further randomly divided into four groups including model group， Feishu group， Tianshu group， and Feishu-Tianshu group， with 8 rats in each group. Rats in the normal group and the model group were tied and fixed without intervention， while those in the Feishu group received moxibustion at bilateral of "Feishu （BL13）" for 30 minutes； rats in the Tianshu group received moxibustion at bilateral "Tianshu （ST25）" for 30 minutes， and those in the Feishu-Tianshu group received moxibustion at both "Feishu （BL13）" and "Tianshu （ST25）" bilaterally for 15 minutes each. One hour after the intervention， 1% OVA solution was aerosolized for 20 minutes in all groups except the normal group， which was given the same volume of 0.9% sodium chloride solution instead of OVA solution for aerosol stimulation. The above interventions were performed once daily for 14 days. Behavioral observations were performed after modeling and during the interventions. The samples were collected 24h after the last intervention. HE and Masson staining were used to observe pathological morphological changes of lung tissues， and the percentage of collagen fiber deposition area was counted. The levels of leukocyte differentiation antigen11b （CD11b）， leukocyte differentiation antigen 40 （CD40）， leukocyte differentiation antigen 86 （CD86）， and programmed death ligand 2 （PD-L2） in serum， as well as the expression of interleukin-8 （IL-8）， interleukin-11 （IL-11）， interleukin-27 （IL-27） in lung tissue， were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）. Western blot was used to detect the expression of matrix metalloproteinase-9 （MMP-9）， matrix metalloproteinase inhibitor 1 （TIMP-1） and transforming growth factor β （TGF-β） proteins in lung tissue. The content of six short-chain fatty acids （SCFAs） including acetic acid， propionic acid， isobutyric acid， butyric acid， valeric acid， and hexanoic acid in feces was detected by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. ResultsCompared to the normal group， the rats in the model group gradually showed mental depression or restlessness， dull hair， slow activity， reduced food intake， unformed stool， accompanied by symptoms of shortness of breath and wheezing. The pathological results showed severe abnormalities in lung tissue structure in the model group， including extensive infiltration of inflammatory cells around the bronchi， thickening of the airway smooth muscle layer， and substantial deposition of collagen fibers. Significant increases were observed in the levels of serum CD11b， CD40， CD86， and PD-L2， levels of IL-8， IL-11， and IL-27 in the lung tissue， as well as protein expression levels of MMP-9， TGF-β， and TIMP-1 in lung tissue， while the fecal levels of acetic acid， propionic acid， isobutyric acid， butyric acid， valeric acid， and n-caproic acid significantly decreased （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. Compared to those in the model group， the spirit， hair， activity， drinking and eating condition， shortness of breath， and wheezing symptoms of rats in the Feishu group， Tianshu group， and Feishu-Tianshu group were improved； the stool was basically formed， and the pathological morphology of lung tissue were improved； the levels of serum CD11b， CD40， CD86 and PD-L2， the levels of IL-8 and IL-27 in the lung tissue， the percentage of collagen fiber deposition area， and the TGF-β protein expression notably decreased； content of IL-11 and MMP-9 in the lung tissue and protein expression of T1MP-1 in Feishu group and Feishu-tianshu group significantly decreased； content of six SCFAs in the Feishu-Tianshu group increased （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. Compared to those in the Feishu group， the percentage of collagen fiber deposition area and TIMP-1 protein expression in lung tissue in the Feishu-Tianshu group significantly decreased， while the fecal levels of acetic acid and butyric acid notably increased （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. Compared to those in the Tianshu group， the serum level of CD40 in the Feishu-Tianshu group was significantly reduced， and the percentage of collagen fiber deposition area， the content of IL-11， and the protein expressions of MMP-9， TGF-β and TIMP-1 in the lung tissue notably decreased， while the fecal levels of acetic acid， propionic acid， and butyric acid significantly increased （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. ConclusionMoxibustion at "Feishu （BL13）" and "Tianshu （ST25）" exhibits a favorable therapeutic effect on airway remodeling in bronchial asthma rats， and the combined application of "Feishu （BL13）" and "Tianshu （ST25）" acupoints demonstrates a synergistic effect. The mechanism may be related to the regulation of intestinal SCFAs content， influencing the differentiation of immune cells， and reducing airway inflammation.
