The concept,connotation and extension,goals and tasks of the discipline of Chinese medicinal materials resource chem-istry have been proposed and developed for 20 years.Looking back at the 20-year construction and development process,continuous exploration and innovative practice have been carried out around the scientific production and effective utilization of traditional Chinese medicinal materials.The theoretical connotation has been further enriched,the research mode has been further improved,and the tech-nical system has been further expanded.A series of research results have been formed and promoted for application,serving the high-quality development of the traditional Chinese medicinal materials industry,and contributing to the improvement of quality,efficiency,and green development of the entire industry chain of Chinese medicinal resources.However,with the rapid growth of Chinese medici-nal materials industry and the continuous expansion and extension of the industry chain,the waste and by-products generated in the production process of Chinese medicinal agriculture and industry are increasing day by day,causing resource waste and environmental pollution,which has become a new major problem facing the development of the industry.This article focuses on the establishment and case analysis of a model for the full industry chain recycling and low-carbon green development of Chinese medicinal materials,as well as the creation of an ecological industry demonstration park for the recycling of Chinese medicinal materials.It showcases the phased a-chievements made in recent years,aiming to provide demonstration and reference for the low-carbon and green transformation of the Chinese medicinal materials industry from a linear economy model to a circular economy model.It provides reference for improving the efficiency of Chinese medicinal materials utilization and creating new quality productivity,and helps promote low-carbon and green de-velopment in the field of Chinese medicinal materials industry.

Objective:To delineate the clinical characteristics and outcomes associated with severe cardiac toxicity during the preconditioning phase of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) in patients with aplastic anemia (AA).Methods:This retrospective case series study included 31 patients with severe AA who underwent allo-HSCT and were diagnosed with severe cardiac toxicity at the Hematology Department of Peking University People′s Hospital from August 2012 to June 2022. The clinical manifestations of severe cardiac toxicity observed during the preconditioning process were assessed. Patient survival was assessed using the Kaplan-Meier method.Results:In this cohort of 31 patients, the median follow-up period was 9 days (range: 4-365 days). Severe cardiac toxicity manifested within 6 days after the initial cyclophosphamide (Cy) administration. Twenty patients died within 30 days of initiating Cy preconditioning, of which 16 patients died due to severe cardiac toxicity within 25 days. Patients whose cardiac function improved within 30 days post-preconditioning showed a median survival duration of 222 days ( n=11). Troponin I (TNI) levels in patients who died within 30 days of initiating Cy preconditioning began increasing on day 5 post-Cy, peaking sharply by day 9 after a notable rise on day 8. B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels in patients who died within 30 days of initiating Cy preconditioning started to rise from day 1, stabilized between days 2 and 5, and then doubled daily from days 6 to 8, remaining elevated thereafter. Notably, the initial increases in BNP and TNI correlated with electrocardiogram (ECG) signs of low voltage and T-wave inversion in 83.87% of cases ( n=26). Most patients ( n=28, 90.32%) were administered corticosteroid therapy. In those with restored cardiac function, the ejection fraction returned to >50% within 30 days of initiating Cy preconditioning. Conclusions:Patients with severe cardiac toxicity during the preconditioning phase of allo-HSCT typically exhibit early, sustained, and marked elevations in myocardial damage markers, including BNP and TNI, accompanied by ECG abnormalities following Cy administration, with BNP often increasing first. These indicators are associated with rapid disease progression and high mortality. Prompt initiation of treatment upon clinical diagnosis is critical for improving survival outcomes.

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics and prognosis of human adenovirus (HAdV) infection in patients with allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT).Methods:This is a retrospective case series study. Patients who received allo-HSCT and had symptoms of HAdV infection were tested in the Hematology Department at Perking University People′s Hospital from August 2015 to October 2019. Real-time quantitative PCR was used to detect HAdV DNA from 2 728 patients with potential infection. HAdV DNA-positive patients were defined as having HAdV infection. The clinical features of these patients were analyzed, and a case-pair method was used to select patients without HAdV infection as the control group in a 1∶3 ratio. The clinical results of the two groups were compared using Kaplan-Meier and Log-rank testing.Results:A total of 7 119 samples were tested for HAdV, of which 99 samples from 36 patients were positive. Of these patients, 22 developed HAdV viremia, and 24 patients had concurrent infection with another virus. Nineteen patients had fever (53%), 25 had gastrointestinal symptoms (69%), 11 had respiratory symptoms (31%), nine had reduced liver function (25%), and six had nervous system symptoms (17%). Twenty-three patients developed acute graft-versus-host disease of grade 2 or higher. Of all the patients with HAdV infection, nine were treated with cidofovir, seven of whom became HAdV negative and two had invalid treatment. The median follow-up time was 496 (216, 940) d post-HSCT. The overall survival at 5 years post HSCT was 48.4%±9.2% vs. 91.3%±3.5% ( χ2=65.03, P<0.001) in patients with and without HADV, respectively. The non-relapse mortality at 5 years post-HSCT was 40.8%±8.8% vs. 4.0%±2.0% ( χ2=34.17, P<0.001) in patients with and without HADV, respectively. Conclusions:After allo-HSCT, HAdV-infected patients are dominated by gastrointestinal and respiratory symptoms and have an increased risk of combined acute graft-versus-host disease of >2 degrees. Patients with HAdV infection have poor overall survival and high non-relapse mortality.

Objective:To retrospectively analyze the incidence and clinical significance of platelet transfusion refractoriness (PTR) after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) in patients with chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) .Methods:A cohort of 55 CMML patients received allo-HSCT at Peking University Institute of Hematology during 2004-2021 were retrospectively assessed. The incidence of PTR within 30 days after allo-HSCT was retrospectively analyzed, and the impact on clinical outcomes and bleeding event were compared between patients with platelet transfusion refractoriness (PTR) or effective platelet transfusion (EPT) .Results:The incidence of PTR after allo-HSCT in CMML patients was 25.5% (14/55) . PTR patients had a lower rate of platelet engraftment than EPT patients (28.6% vs 100%) , and the median time of engraftment was 67 (33-144) days and 21 (9-157) days respectively ( P<0.010) . There was no significant difference between two groups in acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) and chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) ( P=0.183, P=0.455) . After following-up a median of 684 (24-3978) days, the 1-year overall survival (OS) and 1-year leukemia free survival (LFS) in PTR and EPT patients were (35.4±13.9) % vs (75.1±7.8) % ( P=0.037) and (28.1±13.3) % vs (65.3±8.2) % ( P=0.072) , respectively. The transplant-related mortality (TRM) were (48.2±2.4) % and (9.0±0.25) %, respectively ( P=0.009) . Bleeding events occurred in five patients (35.7%) of PTR and 2 patients (4.9%) of EPT ( P=0.009) . Conclusion:In CMML patients with allo-HSCT, the incidence of PTR is 25.5%, which was associated with delayed platelet engraftment, increased bleeding events, inferior OS and increased TRM.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has become a global disease with accelerating incidence worldwide in the 21st century while its accurate etiology remains unclear. In the past decade, gut microbiota dysbiosis has consistently been associated with IBD. Although many IBD-associated dysbiosis have not been proven to be a cause or an effect of IBD, it is often hypothesized that at least some of alteration in microbiome is protective or causative. In this article, we selectively reviewed the hypothesis supported by both association studies in human and pathogenesis studies in biological models. Specifically, we reviewed the potential protective bacterial pathways and species against IBD, as well as the potential causative bacterial pathways and species of IBD. We also reviewed the potential roles of some members of mycobiome and virome in IBD. Lastly, we covered the current status of therapeutic approaches targeting microbiome, which is a promising strategy to alleviate and cure this inflammatory disease.

Objective:To explore the different values of minimal residual disease (MRD) detection by multiparameter flow cytometry (MFC) and real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RQ-PCR) before hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) for predicting relapse, leukemia-free survival (LFS) , and overall survival (OS) in Philadelphia chromosome-positive ALL (Ph + ALL) . Methods:A retrospective study ( n=280) was performed. MRD was determined using multiparameter flow cytometry and RQ-PCR. Results:MRD analysis with MFC and RQ-PCR of the BCR-ABL fusion transcript showed a strong correlation before transplantation. The positive rates of MRD detected by MFC and RQ-PCR before transplantation were 25.7% (72/280) and 60.7% (170/280) , respectively. MFC MRD-positive (MRDpos) Ph + ALL patients had a higher 3 year cumulative incidences of relapse (CIR) than did MFC MRD-negative (MRDneg) Ph + ALL patients (23.6% vs 8.6%; P<0.001) . However, the RQ-PCR MRDpos group had similar rates of 3 year OS, LFS, and NRM compared with those in the RQ-PCR MRDneg group. Moreover, patients with RQ-PCR MRD ≥1% experienced higher 3 year CIR (23.1% vs 11.4%; P=0.032) , lower LFS (53.8% vs 74.4%; P=0.015) , and OS (57.7% vs 79.1%; P=0.009) compared with the RQ-PCR MRD<1% group. Multivariate analyses confirmed the association of MFC MRD status and RQ-PCR MRD ≥1% with outcomes ( P<0.05) . The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV) , and negative predictive value (NPV) of MFC detection MRD to predict recurrence were 48.50%, 77.56%, 23.62%, and 87.16%, respectively. Moreover, the sensitivity, specificity, PPV, and NPV were 23.00%, 88.59%, 17.15%, and 91.84%, respectively, when RQ-PCR MRD ≥1% was used to predict recurrence. Additionally, the sensitivity, specificity, PPV, and NPV were 54.29%, 73.88%, 45.7% and 91.87%, respectively, when MRD-positive status before transplantation (MFC MRDpos or RQ-PCR MRD ≥1%) was used to predict recurrence after transplantation. Conclusions:Both MFC and RQ-PCR detection of pretransplant MRD levels can predict the prognosis of Ph + B-ALL patients receiving allogeneic HSCT. MFC MRD-positive status before transplantation is the risk factor of leukemia recurrence after transplantation. The combined use of the two methods (MFC MRDpos or RQ-PCR MRD ≥1%) can improve the sensitivity, PPV, and NPV of predicting recurrence and help to better screen high-risk patients for intervention, thereby improving clinical efficacy.

Objective:To investigate the incidences and risk factors of poor hematopoietic reconstitution (PHR) in patients with hematological diseases who underwent haploidentical allograft and were treated with rituximab for desensitization.Methods:Eight-three donor specific anti-HLA antibody (DSA, 2000 ≤MFI<10 000) positive patients who underwent haploidentical allograft were prospectively enrolled. Rituximab (375 mg/m 2) was used for desensitization day-3 of conditioning regimen. Incidence and factors associated with PHR, including primary poor graft function and prolonged thrombocytopenia, were investigated. Results:There were 22 males and 61 females with a median age of 39(range: 1-65) years. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that the 100 day cumulative incidences of neutrophil and platelet engraftment were 93.0% and 90.7%, respectively. The incidences of PHR were 14.7%. The 3-year relapse rate, non-relapse mortality (NRM) rate, event-free survival (EFS), leukemia-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) were 6.5%, 15.1%, 70.8%, 79.4% and 79.4%, respectively. Patients with DSA MFI<5 000 (group A, n=46) experienced lower PHR (4.4% vs. 27.5%, P=0.003), and higher 3-year EFS (79.5% vs. 59.8%, P=0.020) compared to those with DSA MFI≥5 000 (group B, n=37). Multivariate analysis showed that DSA MFI≥5 000 was correlated with PHR ( HR=6.101, P=0.021). PHR was associated with higher NRM ( HR=4.110, P=0.026), lower DFS ( HR=3.656, P=0.019) and OS ( HR=3.656, P=0.019). Conclusion:Our data suggest that high pre-transplant DSA level is a risk factor for PHR in patients with hematological diseases receiving haploidentical allograft and rituximab for desensitization.
