Objective To explore the effects of percutaneous impulsive current stimulation in hepatic region on the activity of hepatic mitochondrial Na+-K+-ATPase and Ca2+-Mg2+-ATPase in exercise-induced fatigued rats, in order to investigate the effect of exercise-induced fatigue. Methods Seventy-two 8-week old male Wistar rats were randomly divided into 4 groups (18 each): control group (group A), fatigue group (group B), stimulation before fatigue group (group C) and stimulation after fatigue group (group D). Exhaustion of animals in B, C and D groups were reproduced by prolonged swimming. Current stimulation (1024Hz, 10mA, current cycle 1sec) for 20 minutes was given to the rats of group C before swimming, and to those in group D after exhaustion. At the weekend of 1st, 3rd and 5th week after modeling, the rats were sacrificed in batches from each group (6 each). The activities of hepatic mitochondrial Na+-K+-ATPase and Ca2+-Mg2+-ATPase were determined by spectrophotometry, and Bradfood protein quantification was employed to quantitate the protein in rats' hepatic mitochondria. Results No significant difference was found in swimming-exhaustion time among 3 groups at the first weekend (P>0.05), while the swimming-exhaustion time was significantly prolonged at the 3rd and 5th weekends in group D than in group B and C (P<0.05), and the exhaustion time at the 5th weekend was significantly less in group B than in group C and D (P<0.05). No significant difference was found in the activities of hepatic mitochondrial Na+-K+-ATPase and Ca2+-Mg2+-ATPase among the 4 groups (including group A) at the weekend of the 1st week (P>0.05), while the enzyme activities were obviously lower at the 3rd and 5th weekend in group B than that in groups A, C and D (P<0.05), and they were also lower in group C than that in group D (P<0.05). Conclusions Exercise-induced fatigue can lower the activity of hepatic mitochondrial Na+-K+-ATPase and Ca2+-Mg2+-ATPase. Percutaneous pulsive current stimulating hepatic region of exercise-induced fatigued rats may improve the enzyme activity, reduce the concentration of free calcium and calcium overload in mitochondria, stimulate the oxidative phosphorylation, accelerate the rate of respiratory chain, promote exercise endurance and score, and relieve exercise-induced fatigue rapidly.

This study reports the diagnosis and treatment of 2 children with isolated testicular recurrence (ITR) of acute B lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) treated with CD 19 targeted chimeric antigen receptor T (CD 19 CAR-T) cells in May and December 2019 in the Department of Hematology and Oncology, Children′s Hospital of Soochow University, and explores the efficacy of CD 19 CAR-T cells therapy versus conventional radiotherapy and chemotherapy through literature review.Both cases were diagnosed as B-ALL by the morphologic, immunologic, cytogenetic and molecular biology methods.ITR was diagnosed by testicular biopsy at 60 months and 38 months after initial diagnosis in 2 cases, respectively.After infusion of CD 19 CAR-T cells at 7.0×10 6/kg and 1.5×10 7/kg, respectively for 7-10 days, testicular leukemia cell infiltration disappeared and complete remission was obtained.Among them, case 2 developed cytokine release syndrome and immune effector cell-related neurotoxicity syndrome after treatment, which was improved after drug intervention.It is suggested that CD 19 CAR-T cells are effective in the treatment of ITR in children, which may be an alternative to orchiectomy or local radiotherapy for ITR in children with B-ALL.

Objective:To explore the clinical characteristics,molecular characteristics,treatment and prognosis of pediatric Philadelphia chromosome-like acute lymphoblastic leukemia(Ph-like ALL)with a therapeutic target.Methods:A total of 27 patients of Ph-like ALL with targeted drug target were initially diagnosed in Children's Hospital of Soochow University from December 2017 to June 2021.The data of age,gender,white blood cell(WBC)count at initial diagnosis,genetic characteristics,molecular biological changes,chemotherapy regimen,different targeted drugs were given,and minimal residual disease(MRD)on day 19,MRD on day 46,whether hematopoietic stem cell transplantation(HSCT)were retrospective analyed,and the clinical characteristics and treatment effect were summarized.Survival analysis was performed by Kaplan-Meier method.Results:The intensity of chemotherapy was adjusted according to the MRD level during induced remission therapy in 27 patients,10 patients were treated with targeted drugs during treatment,and 3 patients were bridged with HSCT,1 patient died and 2 patients survived.Among the 24 patients who did not receive HSCT,1 patient developed relapse,and achieved complete remission(CR)after treatment with chimeric antigen receptors T cells(CAR-T).The 3-year overall survival,3-year relapse-free survival and 3-year event-free survival rate of 27 patients were(95.5±4.4)%,(95.0±4.9)%and(90.7±6.3)%respectively.Conclusion:Risk stratification chemotherapy based on MRD monitoring can improve the prognosis of Ph-like ALL in children,combined with targeted drugs can achieve complete remission as soon as possible in children whose chemotherapy response is poor,and sequential CAR-T and HSCT can significantly improve the therapeutic effect of Ph-like ALL in children whose MRD is continuously positive during induced remission therapy.
