Objective:To investigate the clinical significance of vertebral body partition in the unipedicular percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) for osteoporotic vertebral fractures.Methods:From July 2019 to October 2021, 89 patients with osteoporotic vertebral fracture were treated by unipedicular PVP at Department of Spinal Surgery, Zhengzhou Orthopaedic Hospital. They were 37 males and 52 females, with a mean age of (70.5±4.8) years (from 60 to 80 years). According to the vertebral body partition, the patients were divided into group a (32 cases), group b (20 cases), group c (21 cases), group d (11 cases), group e (0 case) and group f (5 cases). The therapeutic effects were evaluated by comparing the improvement rates of visual analogue scale (VAS) and Oswestry disability index (ODI) between preoperation and postoperative 1-day among all partition groups. The imaging efficacy was evaluated by comparing the proportions of bone cement diffusion area in the posteroanterior and lateral DR films and the leakage of bone cement among all partition groups.Results:The improvement rates of VAS score between preoperation and postoperation: group a [77.8 (75.0, 82.5) %] > group b [71.4 (71.4, 71.4) %] > group c [66.7 (66.7, 66.7) %] > group d [60.0 (60.0, 62.5) %] > group f [57.1 (50.0, 57.1)%], showing a statistically significant difference between any 2 groups ( P<0.001). The improvement rates of ODI score: group a (58.0%±4.2%) > group b (47.5%±2.5%) > group c (42.9%±2.9%) > group d (39.6%±3.2%) > group f (34.2%±8.4%), showing a statistically significant difference between any 2 groups ( P<0.001). The proportions of bone cement diffusion area: group a (76.9%±3.5%) > group b (71.3%±3.1%) > group c (66.1%±3.6%) > group d (60.2%±2.6%) > group f (54.0%±4.2%), showing a statistically significant difference between any 2 groups ( P<0.001). Bone cement leakage occurred in 7 cases, including 3 ones of anterior vertebral leakage (1 case in group a and 2 cases in group b), and 4 ones of leakage into the paravertebral venous plexus (2 cases in group c and 2 cases in group d). There was no intraspinal leakage, or symptoms of nerve compression or lesion. Conclusion:In the unipedicular PVP for osteoporotic vertebral fractures, our vertebral body partition can guide puncturing for bone cement injection because it indicates the optimal and the risky partitions.

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics, efficacy and prognostic influencing factors of IgD multiple myeloma (MM) in the new immunotherapy era.Methods:The clinical data of 29 patients diagnosed with IgD MM in the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University from March 2014 to February 2021 were retrospectively collected. The clinical characteristics, treatment regimens and efficacy, especially the efficacy of new drugs and immunotherapy for the disease were analyzed. Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyze the overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS). Multivariate Cox proportional risk model was used for analysis of prognostic influencing factors.Results:The median age of patients was 58 years. There were 20 cases (69.0%) below 65 years, 12 cases (41.4%) of complicated with stomach function damage, 6 cases (20.7%) of extramedullary invasion. All patients were treated with combined therapy containing proteasome inhibitor bortezomib in the first-line therapy, and the overall response rate was 82.8% (24/29). Among 21 relapsed/refractory patients, 12 patients were treated with the second-line or above treatment regimen chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR-T) immunotherapy, including 9 cases achieving very good partial remission (VGPR) or above; 5 patients were treated with the new drug daratozumab, including 1 case achieving complete remission (CR). The median OS time of 29 patients was 48 months (95% CI 17-79 months), the median PFS time after the first-line treatment was 9 months (95% CI 3-15 months), and the median PFS time after the second-line treatment was 11 months (95% CI 1-21 months). Multivariate Cox regression results showed that CAR-T therapy is an independent influencing factor of the prognosis of relapsed/ refractory IgD MM patients ( HR = 0.094, 95% CI 0.019-0.473, P = 0.004). Conclusions:IgD MM patients are characterized with lower onset age, more renal function damage and a high incidence of extramedullary invasion. The first-line therapy containing proteasome inhibitor has a better short-term efficacy, and CAR-T therapy can improve the remission rate and survival rate of relapsed/refractory IgD MM to a certain extent.

The importance of structural variants(SVs)for human phenotypes and diseases is now recognized.Although a variety of SV detection platforms and strategies that vary in sensitivity and specificity have been developed,few benchmarking procedures are available to confidently assess their performances in biological and clinical research.To facilitate the validation and application of these SV detection approaches,we established an Asian reference material by characterizing the genome of an Epstein-Barr virus(EBV)-immortalized B lymphocyte line along with identified benchmark regions and high-confidence SV calls.We established a high-confidence SV callset with 8938 SVs by integrating four alignment-based SV callers,including 109x Pacific Biosciences(PacBio)continuous long reads(CLRs),22 x PacBio circular consensus sequencing(CCS)reads,104x Oxford Nanopore Technologies(ONT)long reads,and 114×Bionano optical mapping plat-form,and one de novo assembly-based SV caller using CCS reads.A total of 544 randomly selected SVs were validated by PCR amplification and Sanger sequencing,demonstrating the robustness of our SV calls.Combining trio-binning-based haplotype assemblies,we established an SV benchmark for identifying false negatives and false positives by constructing the continuous high-confidence regions(CHCRs),which covered 1.46 gigabase pairs(Gb)and 6882 SVs supported by at least one diploid haplotype assembly.Establishing high-confidence SV calls for a benchmark sample that has been characterized by multiple technologies provides a valuable resource for investigating SVs in human biology,disease,and clinical research.

Objective:To explore an assay that can concisely, rapidly, and accurately quantify the amount of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cells in the bone marrow or peripheral blood of patients after CAR-T cell immunotherapy by morphological analysis and flow cytometry assay, providing timely and accurate feedback for clinical treatment.Methods:We analyzed the CAR-T cell detection results in peripheral blood and bone marrow of 256 patients who received CAR-T cell immunotherapy in the Department of Hematology, Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University from August 2016 to August 2021. All 256 patients survived more than one month after CAR-T cell infusion. Among them, there were 118 patients with multiple myeloma, 68 patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, and 70 patients with lymphoma. The morphological characteristics, positive rate and detection rate of CAR-T cell in peripheral blood and bone marrow were analyzed by morphological methods. The positive rate and detection rate of CAR-T in peripheral blood and bone marrow were analyzed by flow cytometry protein L detection. χ 2 test was used to comprehensively analyze the difference between the detection rate of the combined analysis of the two methods and the detection rate of the single method. Results:CAR-T cells have significant morphological characteristics, and there are obvious morphological differences from normal lymphocytes. The detection rates of CAR-T cells in peripheral blood or bone marrow by morphological methods and flow cytometry were 88.28%(226/256) and 79.29% (203/256), respectively. When the two methods were combined, the detection rate of CAR-T cells can reach 99.22%, with statistically significant difference comparing to that of single method( P<0.05). Through the analysis of the detection results of peripheral blood at different time points, it was found that the average detection rates of morphology and flow cytometry in 118 patients with multiple myeloma were 9.50% and 10.23% on the 7th day, and 13.50% and 15.19% respectively on the 15th day. On the 21st day, the average detection rates of morphology and flow cytometry were 8.00% and 10.07%, respectively. The average detection rates of morphology and flow cytometry in 68 patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia were 12.00% and 11.22% on the 7th day, and 21.00% and 23.10% respectively on the 15th day. On the 21st day, the average detection rates of morphology and flow cytometry were 13.50% and 10.91%, respectively. The average detection rates of morphology and flow cytometry in 70 lymphoma patients were 7.50% and 10.35% on the 7th day, and 9.00% and 10.35% respectively on the 15th day. The average detection rates of morphology and flow cytometry at 21 days were 6.50% and 5.69%, respectively. The number of CAR-T cells in samples from patients with different diseases reached a peak around the 15th day. Conclusion:The detection rate of CAR-T cells from peripheral blood or bone marrow was significantly higher with the combination of the 2 methods compared to the single method.

Tung tree (Vernicia fordii) is an economically important woody oil plant that produces tung oil rich in eleostearic acid. Here, we report a high-quality chromosome-scale genome sequence of tung tree. The genome sequence was assembled by combining Illumina short reads, Pacific Bio-sciences single-molecule real-time long reads, and Hi-C sequencing data. The size of tung tree gen-ome is 1.12 Gb, with 28,422 predicted genes and over 73％ repeat sequences. The V. fordii underwent an ancient genome triplication event shared by core eudicots but no further whole-genome duplication in the subsequent ca. 34.55 million years of evolutionary history of the tung tree lineage. Insertion time analysis revealed that repeat-driven genome expansion might have arisen as a result of long-standing long terminal repeat retrotransposon bursts and lack of efficient DNA deletion mechanisms. The genome harbors 88 resistance genes encoding nucleotide-binding sites;17 of these genes may be involved in early-infection stage of Fusarium wilt resistance. Further, 651 oil-related genes were identified, 88 of which are predicted to be directly involved in tung oil biosynthesis. Relatively few phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase genes, and synergistic effectsbetween transcription factors and oil biosynthesis-related genes might contribute to the high oil content of tung seed. The tung tree genome constitutes a valuable resource for understanding genome evolution, as well as for molecular breeding and genetic improvements for oil production.
