Objective To observe the relationship between aggregates,including platelet-derived microp-article (PMP)-leukocyte microparticle (LMP),PMP-endothelial microparticle (EMP),and PMP-red cell microparticle (RMP),and severity of coronary heart disease (CHD).Methods All CHD patients were divided into blood stasis pattern group and non blood stasis pattern group.The aggregates of PMP-LMP,PMP-EMP,and PMP-RMP in patients with unstable angina pectoris (UA)were detected and their morphology was observed by using imaging flow cytometry.Then the aggregates level of patients of the two groups were analyzed.Results The expression of PMP,LMP,EMP,RMP,PMP-EMP and PMP-RMP in patients with blood stasis pattern were higher than those of patients without blood stasis pattern (P <0.05),which were positively correlated with blood stasis syndrome(P <0.01).Conclusion It showed that PMP,LMP,EMP,RMP,PMP-EMP and PMP-RMP played an important role in the formation of UA with blood stasis pattern.

Objective To explore the specific plasma exosomal protein expression in Coronary Heart Disease(CHD)with phlegm-turbidity syndrome(PTS),so as to provide biological reference for the diagnosis of CHD with PTS.Methods A total of 20 CHD patients with PTS and 20 healthy subjects at the same period were included.Plasma exosomes were extracted from all subjects using the qEV size exclusion method.First,10 CHD cases with PTS and 10 healthy subjects were randomly selected,and differentially expressed proteins between the two groups were screened using label free non-targeted protein quantification analysis.Then,MRM targeting protein labeling technique was applied to verify the differentially expressed proteins in the remaining subjects.Results Compared with healthy controls,214 differentially expressed plasma exosomal proteins(61 up-regulated and 153 down-regulated)were found in CHD patients with PTS,mainly related to cholesterol metabolism,complement and coagulation cascade,and immune effects.ANXA6,C4BPB,F8,CFB,APOE,C9,and CLU proteins were further validated by MRM targeting protein.Conclusion CHD patients with PTS had differences in plasma exosomal protein expression from healthy controls,and the differential proteins are mainly related to cholesterol metabolism,complement,and the coagulation cascade.

Objective:
To investigate the efficacy and safety of Posaconazole (Posa) in prophylaxis and salvage treatment of invasive fungal infections (IFI) during neutropenia in pediatric patients with leukemia.
Methods:
A total of 18 pediatric patients (55 case-time) with leukemia in neutropenia stage receiving Posa treatment from December 2015 to August 2017 in Zhujiang Hospital of Southern Medical University, were analyzed retrospectively.Taking one induction chematherapy or one consolidation chemotherapy stage receiving Posa treatment was defined as 1 case-time.
Results:
Out of 18 participants, 13 cases were patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and 5 cases were patients with acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL), including 36 males and 19 females.Median age of the participants was 7 years, ranged from 10 months to 14 years.Out of 55 case times, 45 of them were of primary prevention and the neutropenia periods ranged from 4 to 46 days, with the median of 15 days, and 93.33% of them were prevented from fungal infection.However, 3 of the 45 cases had sudden fungal infections and the Voriconazole was an effective treatment, and no one died.Six cases in this study experienced secondary prevention, and no patient experienced reinfection.The neutropenia terms of the 6 cases ranged from 10 to 17 days, with the median of 14 days.Four patients who suffered from Voriconazole and/or Carbophenol therapy failure received Posa as a rescue therapy and the response rate was 100%.None of patients had Posa intolerance due to severe adverse reaction and no Posa treatment-related grade Ⅱ toxic effects occurred.
Conclusions
Posa is an effective and safe therapy for pediatric patients with leukemia and IFI, and available for long-time usage.Serious adverse reaction is rare.
