Objective:To investigate the efficacy of liposomal doxorubicin intensive preconditioning regimen and allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) in treatment of leukemia.Methods:The data of 20 patients with intensive preconditioning regimen allo-HSCT who were admitted to Shenzhen Second People's Hospital from January 2016 to June 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. The transplantation effect, occurrence of complications and prognosis of patients were analyzed.Results:The median time of granulocyte engraftment was 17 d (13-23 d); the median time of platelet engraftment was 22.5 d (minimum 13 d, maximum >90 d). The acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and chronic GVHD occurred in 2 cases and 1 case, respectively. Eight cases occurred hemorrhagic cystitis, 15 cases occurred Epstein-Barr viremia, 8 cases occurred cytomegaloviremia, 1 case occurred sepsis, 1 case occurred acute liver injury, and 2 cases occurred fungal pneumonia. The median follow-up time was 31.7 months (0.8-53.8 months). One patient died of intracranial infection on the 25th day after transplantation; 3 patients relapsed during the follow-up period, and 2 of them died; the other 16 patients carried 100% donor genes during the follow-up period.Conclusions:The liposomal doxorubicin intensive preconditioning regimen and allo-HSCT have a good effect on leukemia. Increasing the intensity of pretreatment does not increase the treatment-related adverse reactions. The incidence rates of Epstein-Barr viremia and cytomegaloviremia are high, but they are improved after active treatment.

Objective:To explore the efficacy and safety of in-class transition from proteasome inhibitor bortezomib to ixazomib in the treatment of newly-treated patients with multiple myeloma (MM).Methods:The clinical data of 63 newly-treated MM patients in Shenzhen Second People's Hospital from January 2018 to December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. They were divided into transition group (23 cases) and bortezomib group (40 cases). Both groups were treated with bortezomib-containing regimen as the first-line treatment regimen. In case of intolerable adverse reactions, patients in the transition group were treated with ixazomib instead of bortezomib, while the patients in the bortezomib group did not undergo drug transition. The curative effect and progression-free survival (PFS) were compared between the two groups.Results:In the transition group, the overall response rate (ORR) before in-class transition was 95.7% (22/23), the rate of ≥ very good partial remission (VGPR) was 52.2% (12/23); the ORR after transition was 95.7% (22/23), and the rate of ≥ VGPR was 82.6% (19/23). In the bortezomib group, ORR was 90.0% (36/40), and the rate of ≥ VGPR was 72.5% (29/40). There was no significant difference in ORR and the rate of ≥VGPR between the two groups ( χ2 = 0.64, P=0.424; χ2 = 0.82, P = 0.364). The median number of cycles of PI therapy in the transition group was 9, and the median PFS time was not reached. The median number of cycles of PI therapy in the bortezomib group was 7.5, and the median PFS time was 30.0 months (95% CI 19.1-40.9 months), there was no significant difference in PFS between the two groups ( P = 0.275). In the bortezomib group, 12 patients discontinued bortezomib due to adverse reactions, the median PFS time was 20.0 months (95% CI 12.6-27.4 months), and the PFS of patients who discontinued PI in the transition group and the bortezomib group was compared, the difference was statistically significant ( P = 0.043). In the transition group, 21 patients (21/23, 91.3%) developed peripheral neuropathy, and the incidence of ≥grade 3 adverse reactions was 13.0% (3/23); in the bortezomib group, 22 patients (22/40, 55.0%) developed peripheral neuropathy, and the incidence of ≥grade 3 adverse reactions was 12.5% (5/40). Conclusions:For newly-treated MM patients, the transition from bortezomib to ixazomib can improve the depth of remission and reduce the recurrence caused by the discontinuation of PI.

OBJECTIVE: To study the effects of Sinorhizobium fredii, Rhizobium radiobacter and Azorhizobium caulinodans on germination of Andrographis paniculata seed under drought and salt stress condition. METHODS: Drought and salt stress models of A. paniculata seed were established with PEG-6000 (called “PEG” for short)and NaCl respectively. The effects of different concentrations of PEG (0.05, 0.10, 0.15, 0.20, 0.25 g/mL) and NaCl (50, 100, 150, 200 mmol/L) on the germination indicators (germination rate, germination potential, germination index, vigor index) of A. paniculata seed were investigated by the method of germination on dish paper. The seeds were soaked with S. fredii, R. radiobacter and A. caulinodans, and then germination indicators were investigated under the condition of drought and salt stress. RESULTS: Drought and salt stress models of A. paniculata seed were established with 0.15 g/mL PEG solution and 50 mmol/L NaCl solution, respectively. S. fredii pretreatment could significantly improve all the germination indicators of A. paniculata seed under drought stress condition, as well as germination index and vigor index of it under salt stress condition, but significantly reduce germination rate and germination index of it under salt stress condition (P<0.05). R. radiobacter treatment could significantly improve all the germination indicators of A. paniculata seed under drought stress condition, as well as germination potential, germination index and vigor index of it under salt stress condition (P<0.05). A. caulinodans pretreatment could significantly improve germination rate, germination index and vigor index of A. paniculata seed under drought stress condition, as well as germination rate and germination potential of it under salt stress condition (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Three kinds of Rhizobia can improve germination ability of A. paniculata seed under drought or salt stress condition to different degrees. This research can provide technical support for planting and cultivation of A. paniculata under drought condition, and using saline-alkali soil as A. paniculata plantation area.

OBJECTIVE: To study the effects of 60Co-γ radiation on the botanical traits and property of Andrographis paniculata, and to screen suitable irradiation dose. METHODS: The seeds of A. paniculata were irradiated by 60Co-γ rays with different irradiation doses(0,10,20,50,100,200,300 Gy). The botanical traits indexes of A. paniculata as seed germination rate, root length, seedling rate, seedling height, leaf area, fresh weight, dry weight, stomata number of lower epidermis of leaf, and its property indexes as the contents of andrographolide, dehydrated andrographolide and chlorophyll, activity of T-SOD enzyme and CuZn-SOD enzyme, were determined after radiation. The coefficient of variation (CV) was calculated. The linear regression analysis was performed for seedling rate, and medial lethal dose was calculated. The correlation analysis was performed between the parameters of botanical trait and quality property with irradiation dose. Cluster analysis was conducted for M1 generation of A. paniculata in different irradiation dose groups by connection method combined with squared euclidean distance. RESULTS: Different irradiation doses showed different effects on botanical traits and property of A. paniculata. According to the average value of CV, the index of botanical traits was ranked as leaf area > fresh weight > dry weight > plant height > root length > stomata number > seedling rate > germination rate; among different irradiation dose groups, the coefficient of variation was ranked as 50 Gy>200 Gy>100 Gy>20 Gy>10 Gy>300 Gy>0 Gy. According to the average value of CV, the index of property was ranked as dehydrated andrographolide content>andrographolide content>chlorophyll content>CuZn-SOD enzyme activity>T-SOD enzyme activity; among different irradiation dose groups, the coefficient of variation was ranked as 100 Gy>50 Gy>200 Gy>20 Gy>10 Gy>300 Gy>0 Gy. The medial lethal dose was 195.10 Gy. According to the botanical traits, M1 generation of A. paniculata of 7 dose groups could be divided into 4 types. According to the property, M1 generation of A. paniculata of 7 dose groups could be divided into 3 types. CONCLUSIONS: The suitable irradiation dose interval for irradiating A. paniculata is 50-200 Gy.

【Objective】 To investigate the efficacy of flexible ureteroscopic holmium laser lithotripsy combined with cyst wall incision and drainage in the treatment of renal calculi with ipsilateral renal cyst. 【Methods】 A total of 70 patients with renal calculi complicated with ipsilateral renal cyst (cyst diameter >40 mm, maximum diameter of stone <20 mm, distance from renal calyx <2 mm) treated in our hospital during Feb.2015 and Feb.2020 were selected. The patients were divided into cyst wall incision and drainage group (flexible ureteroscopic holmium laser lithotripsy combined with cyst wall incision and drainage) and renal cyst deroof decompression group (flexible ureteroscopic holmium laser lithotripsy combined with retroperitoneal laparoscopic renal cyst unroofing decompression), with 35 cases in either group. The general information, clinical data, complications, stone-clearance rate and 12-month postoperative effective rate were compared between the two groups. 【Results】 All operations were successful. Compared with the renal cyst unroofing decompression group, the cyst wall incision and drainage group had shorter operation time and postoperative hospital stay (P<0.05), lower postoperative Scr[(107.61±16.88) μmol/L vs. (138.25±18.29) μmol/L, P<0.05], higher Hb[(124.33±12.85) g/L vs. (101.36±13.14) g/L, P<0.001], lower incidence of complications (8.6% vs. 28.6%, P=0.031). There were no significant differences in the residual stone rate and effective rate between the two groups 12 months after operation (P>0.05). 【Conclusion】 Flexible ureteroscopic holmium laser lithotripsy combined with cyst incision and drainage has the advantages of short operation time, small trauma, few adverse reactions, good stone clearance effect and satisfactory efficacy. It can be used as a preferred surgical method for renal calculi complicated with ipsilateral renal cyst.

The lung is one of the most common sites for cancer metastasis. Collagens in the lung provide a permissive microenvironment that supports the colonization and outgrowth of disseminated tumor cells. Therefore, down-regulating the production of collagens may contribute to the inhibition of lung metastasis. It has been suggested that miR-29 exhibits effective anti-fibrotic activity by negatively regulating the expression of collagens. Indeed, our clinical lung tumor data shows that miR-29a-3p expression negatively correlates with collagen I expression in lung tumors and positively correlates with patients' outcomes. However, suitable carriers need to be selected to deliver this therapeutic miRNA to the lungs. In this study, we found that the chemotherapy drug cisplatin facilitated miR-29a-3p accumulation in the exosomes of lung tumor cells, and this type of exosomes exhibited a specific lung-targeting effect and promising collagen down-regulation. To scale up the preparation and simplify the delivery system, we designed a lung-targeting liposomal nanovesicle (by adjusting the molar ratio of DOTAP/cholesterol-miRNAs to 4:1) to carry miR-29a-3p and mimic the exosomes. This liposomal nanovesicle delivery system significantly down-regulated collagen I secretion by lung fibroblasts in vivo, thus alleviating the establishment of a pro-metastatic environment for circulating lung tumor cells.
