Objective:To investigate secondary factors, laboratory features, treatment options, and prognosis of pure red cell aplastic anemia (PRCA) .Methods:This was a multicenter retrospective clinical study. Patients aged above 18 years newly diagnosed with PRCA between June 1, 2010, and June 1, 2019, were recruited as the main study object. A comparative analysis of remission rate and overall survival rate was made according to different treatment schemes adopted by patients and different drug reduction rates.Results:A total of 67 patients with PRCA were included in this study and the secondary PRCA group accounted for 44.8% (30/67) . The most common secondary factors were thymoma ( n=10) and T-cell large lymphocytic leukemia (T-LGLL) ( n=6) . The overall response rate of PRCA was 85.7% and the 3-year overall survival rate of PRCA was (74.3±7.5) %. The remission rate of cyclosporine A alone was slightly higher than that of oral glucocorticoid alone or combined with glucocorticoid[90.0% (36/40) vs 75.0% (12/16) , P=0.147]. After patients applied with cyclosporine A treatment reached CR/PR and remained stable for 3-6 months, the dose of cyclosporine A was reduced by 25 mg each time. The cyclosporine A reduction interval of a 25 mg/d reduction in more than 1 month significantly prolonged the median disease-free survival compared with a 25 mg/d reduction in less than 1 month [not reached vs 15 (95% CI 7-23) months, P<0.001]. There were 62.5% (10/16) of patients who responded to the initial or incremental treatment regimen after relapse. Conclusion:PRCA has features of various secondary factors, high overall survival rate, and high remission rate. Treatment with cyclosporine A alone is preferred, and cyclosporine A should be slowly tapered to reduce the risk of later relapse after it takes effect and patients reach a steady state.

Objective:To explore the effects of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) FAM224A on the proliferation and migration of ovarian cancer cells by regulating the expression of miRNA-590-3p (miR-590-3p).Methods:Human ovarian cancer cell lines OC3, SKOV-3, HO-8910, A2780 and human normal ovarian epithelial cell line IOSE80 were selected, and the relative expression of FAM224A in each cell line was detected by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). The cell line with the lowest relative expression level of FAM224A was screened for follow-up experiment. The cells were divided into FAM224A group (transfected with FAM224A mimic gene) and control group (transfected with control mimic gene). CCK-8 method and cell scratch test were used to detect the cell proliferation and migration ability of the two groups. The bioinformatics website LncBase v.2 predicted that the target gene that FAM224A might complementarily bind to was miR-590-3p. qRT-PCR was used to detect the relative expression levels of miR-590-3p and forkhead box protein A2 (FOXA2) mRNA, and the expressions of related proteins were detected by Western blot.Results:The relative expression levels of FAM224A in ovarian cancer cell lines OC3, SKOV-3, HO-8910, A2780 and normal ovarian epithelial cell line IOSE80 were 0.23±0.04, 0.65±0.05, 0.45±0.03, 0.63±0.08 and 1.02±0.11, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant ( F = 14.78, P < 0.01), and the cell line with the lowest relative expression level of FAM224A was OC3. The results of CCK-8 method showed that the proliferation ability of OC3 cells in the FAM224A group was lower than that in the control group on the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th day of culture (all P < 0.05). The scratch healing rates of OC3 cells in the FAM224A group and the control group were (18.6±2.3)% and (71.7±7.2)%, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant ( t = 6.99, P < 0.01). The relative expression levels of FAM224A in OC3 cells in the FAM224A group and the control group was 12.36±1.45 and 1.14±0.24, respectively ( t = 13.08, P < 0.01); the relative expression levels of miR-590-3p were 0.19±0.06 and 1.04±0.20, respectively ( t = 4.01, P < 0.01); the relative expression levels of FOXA2 mRNA were 6.37±1.37 and 1.05±0.08, respectively ( t = 3.86, P < 0.01). Compared with the control group, the expression of FOXA2 protein in OC3 cells in the FAM224A group was increased, the expressions of cell proliferation protein cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (CDK2) and cyclin D3 were decreased, and the expression of cell migration protein Snail was decreased. Conclusions:FAM224A is low expressed in ovarian cancer cell lines. FAM224A reduces the proliferation and migration ability of ovarian cancer OC3 cells by inhibiting the expression of miR-590-3p.

Objective:To investigate risk factors for early mortality (EM) in patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM) and to build an EM-predictive model.Methods:In a cohort of 275 patients with NDMM, risk factors for EM at 6, 12, and 24 months after diagnosis (EM6, EM12, and EM24, respectively) were determined to establish a model to predict EM.Results:The rates of EM6, EM12, and EM24 were 5.5% , 12.7% , and 30.2% , respectively. The most common cause for EM was disease progression/relapse, accounting for 60.0% , 77.1% , and 84.3% of EM6, EM12, and EM24, respectively. EM6 was associated with corrected serum calcium >2.75 mmol/L and platelet count <100×10 9/L, whereas risk factors for EM12 included age >75 years, ISS Ⅲ, R-ISS Ⅲ, corrected serum calcium >2.75 mmol/L, serum creatinine >177 μmol/L, platelet count <100×10 9/L, and bone marrow plasma cell ratio ≥ 60% . In addition to the risk factors for EM12, EM24 was also associated with male sex and 1q21 gain. By multivariate analysis, age >75 years, platelet count <100×10 9/L, and 1q21 gain were independent risk factors for EM24 but there were no independent risk factors significantly associated with EM6 and EM12. Using a scoring system including these three risk factors, a Cox model for EM24 was generated to distinguish patients with low (score<3) and high (score ≥ 3) risk. The sensitivity and specificity of the model were 20.7% and 99.2% , respectively. Further, an internal validation performed in a cohort of 183 patients with NDMM revealed that the probability of EM24 in high-risk patients was 26 times higher than that in low-risk patients. Moreover, this model was also able to predict overall survival. The median overall survival of patients with scores of 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 were 59, 41, 22, 17.5, and 16 months, respectively. Conclusion:In the study cohort, the EM6, EM12, and EM24 rates were 5.5% , 12.7% , and 30.2% , respectively, and disease progression or relapse were main causes of EM. An EM24-predictive model built on three independent risk factors for EM24 (age>75 years, platelet count<100×10 9/L, and 1q21 gain) might predict EM risk and overall survival.

The ticks feed large amount of blood from their hosts and transmit pathogens to the victims. The salivary gland plays an important role in the blood feeding. When the female ticks are near engorgement, the salivary gland gradually loses its functions and begins to rapidly degenerate. In this study, data-independent acquisition quantitative proteomics was used to study changes in the phosphorylation modification of proteins during salivary gland degeneration in Haemaphysalis longicornis. In this quantitative study, 400 phosphorylated proteins and 850 phosphorylation modification sites were identified. Trough RNA interference experiments, we found that among the proteins with changes in phosphorylation, apoptosis-promoting Hippo protein played a role in salivary gland degeneration.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the econ omical efficiency of daratumumab combined with lenalidomide and dexamethasone (D-Rd) regimen versus lenalidomide and dexamethasone (Rd) regimen alone in the treatment of transplant- ineligible newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (TNE-NDMM). METHODS From the perspective of China ’s health system ,a partitioned survival model with three health states of progression free survival ,disease progression and death was established by using the published MAIA test data and relevant literature data. The model cycle was 28 days and the simulation time limit was 20 years. The incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER)was calculated using quality-adjusted life years (QALY)as the output index. Sensitivity analysis was performed for key parameters. RESULTS The results of basic analysis showed that the ICER of D-Rd regimen versus Rd regimen was 2 719 038.08 yuan/QALY,far exceeding 3 times of GDP per capita in 2021(242 928 yuan). The results of single factor sensitivity analysis showed that cost discount rate ,progression-free survival utility value ,utility discount rate,the cost of daratumumab and lenalidomide had a greater impact on ICER. Probabilistic sensitivity analysis suggested that the probability of economic advantage of D-Rd regimen was always 0 within the WTP range of 0-1 200 000 yuan. CONCLUSIONS Compared with Rd regimen ,D-Rd regimen has no cost-effectiveness advantage for the treatment of TNE-NDMM under the WTP of 3 times GDP per capita of China .
