Objective:To investigate the expressions of HIF-1α, BRD4, Beclin1, LC3B and p62 in breast cancer tissues and their clinicopathological significance, and to study alterations of their expression in breast cancer cells under hypoxic microenvironment.Methods:Immunohistochemistry was used to detect HIF-1α, BRD4, Beclin1, LC3B and p62 protein expressions in 125 breast cancer tissues and 50 para-cancer normal breast tissues, and their correlation with clinicopathologic characteristics were analyzed. The expression of these proteins were also measured after 24 hours of hypoxia stimulation was detected in different breast cancer cell lines and normal breast epithelial cells.Results:The expression of HIF-1α, BRD4, Beclin1 and LC3B proteins in breast cancer tissues were significantly higher than in para-cancer normal breast tissues ( P<0.05). There was a positive association between histologic grade, the expression of HIF-1α, BRD4, Beclin1 and LC3B ( P<0.05). High expressions of HIF-1a and Beclin1 were often correlated with lymph node metastasis and lymphatic invasion ( P<0.05). Increased HIF-1α, BRD4, Beclin1 and LC3B expression was associated with ER or PR negativity, but only HIF-1α was associated with HER2 positivity ( P<0.05). HIF-1α, BRD4, Beclin1, and LC3B were positively correlated with each other in breast cancer tissues ( P<0.01). After 24 hours of hypoxic stimulation, the expression of HIF-1α, BRD4, Beclin1 and LC3B was up-regulated in breast cancer cells. Conclusions:Hypoxia induces autophagy in breast cancer tissues. HIF-1α is positively correlated with BRD4, suggesting that BRD4 is involved in the regulation of autophagy by hypoxic microenvironment in breast cancer. High expression of HIF-1α, BRD4 and autophagy may play an important role in the development of breast cancer.

Objective:
To investigate the spectrum of gene mutations in adult patients with B-acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL), and to analyze the influences of different gene mutations on prognosis.
Methods:
DNA samples from 113 adult B-ALL patients who administered from June 2009 to September 2015 were collected. Target-specific next generation sequencing (NGS) approach was used to analyze the mutations of 112 genes (focused on the specific mutational hotspots) and all putative mutations were compared against multiple databases to calculate the frequency spectrum. The impact of gene mutation on the patients’ overall survival (OS) and recurrence free survival (RFS) was analyzed by the putative mutations through Kaplan-Meier, and Cox regression methods.
Results:
Of the 113 patients, 103 (92.0%) harbored at least one mutation and 29 (25.6%) harbored more than 3 genes mutation. The five most frequently mutated genes in B-ALL are SF1, FAT1, MPL, PTPN11 and NRAS. Gene mutations are different between Ph+ B-ALL and Ph- B-ALL patients. Ph- B-ALL patients with JAK-STAT signal pathway related gene mutation, such as JAK1/JAK2 mutation showed a poor prognosis compared to the patients without mutation (OS:

【Objective】 To investigate the impact of ABO blood group compatibility and incompatibility(major /minor/bidirectional incompatibility) on the outcomes of patients underwent allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation(allo-HSCT), and to provide evidences for optimizing the transplantation program. 【Methods】 From January 2014 to June 2018, we retrospectively reviewed the clinical courses of 18 recipients of allo-HSCT from ABO-compatible donors and 52 from ABO-incompatible donors at our hospital. The implantation time of granulocyte/erythrocyte/megakaryoblast, RBC/platelet transfusions within 3 months posttransplantation, the initiating and completion time of ABO blood group conversion(for ABO-compatible donors only) were analyzed and compared among the ABO-incompatible and ABO-compatible donors as such variables including demographic data, donor and patient relationship, diagnosis of disease, bone marrow hematopoietic function prior to transplantation, HLA matching were not significant different. 【Results】 For 18 recipients of allo-HSCT from ABO-compatible donors, the implantation time of granulocyte, erythrocyte, megakaryoblast was 12.0(11.0~16.3), 41.5 (35.0~49.0) and 19.0(16.0~22.5)days, respectively. For 52 recipients of allo-HSCT from ABO-incompatible donors, the ABO blood group conversion was initiated at 28.0(22.5~44.0)days posttransplantation and completed at 105.5(85.0~141.8)days. In the ABO-compatible group, the time of erythrocyte implantation was shortened(P<0.05), and less RBC /platelet transfusions were required as compared with the ABO major and bidirectional incompatible group, except for the time of granulocyte and megakaryoblast implantation(P>0.05), no significant difference was observed between these two variables. The blood group conversion time, implantation time of granulocyte/erythrocyte/megakaryoblast, and RBC /platelet transfusions among ABO major, minor and bidirectional incompatible groups were not significant different (P>0.05). 【Conclusion】 ABO-compatiblity enjoys priority in allo-HSCT. ABO-incompatiblity can be chosen in the order of minor, major and bidirectional incompatibility in the absence of ABO-compatiblity.

【Objective】 To analyze the distribution of unexpected antibodies in tumor patients retrospectively and explore the clinical significance. 【Methods】 Unexpected antibody screening was performed on inpatients with blood preparation and blood transfusion in our hospital from January 2004 to December 2022, with 1 176 cases tested positive, and the types of unexpected antibodies and distribution characteristics were statistically analyzed. 【Results】 Unexpected antibodies were screened in 1 176 cases, with the positive rate at 1.05% (1 176/111 483). The unexpected antibodies were mainly anti-E 16.33%(192/1 176), anti-M 7.99% (94/1 176), anti-Mur 5.70% (67/1 176) and anti-Lea 4.76% (56/1 176). Among the 1 176 cases, gastrointestinal tumors accounted for 27.99% (329/1 176), gynecological tumors accounted for 24.84% (292/1 176), respiratory tumors accounted for 16.67% (196/1 176) . 【Conclusion】 The influencing factors of unexpected antibodies in tumor patients were disease type, blood transfusion history and blood type. Therefore, it is necessary for clinical departments to carry out unexpected antibody screening and perform Rh blood type matched transfusion for tumor patients to avoid alloantibody production.
