Objective To analyze the effects of valproic acid(VPA),a histone deacetylase(HDAC)inhibitor,on macrophage polarization in?duced by paraquat(PQ)or lipopolysaccharide(LPS). Methods Mouse RAW264.7 cells were cultured at 37℃with 5%CO2,passaged,and then given one of the following treatments:(1)PQ;(2)PQ+VPA(classⅠandⅡa HDAC inhibitor);(3)PQ+apicidin(classⅠHDAC inhibitor);(4)PQ+MC1568(classⅡa HDAC inhibitor);(5)LPS;(6)LPS+VPA;(7)LPS+apicidin;(8)LPS+MC1568. The cells and culture supernatants were harvested after 8 h of treatment. RT?PCR,ELISA,and flow cytometry were conducted to assess the expression levels of macrophage phenotyp?ic markers. Results Both PQ and LPS skewed the macrophage functional polarity toward proinflammatory phenotype. VPA,apicidin,and MC1568 all inhibited PQ?and LPS?induced macrophages polarizing toward pro?inflammatory phenotype ,but the inhibitory effects were different in some ways. Conclusion VPA inhibits the proinflammatory function of macrophages induced by PQ and LPS ,but the effect of VPA on PQ?and LPS?induced macrophages has its own characteristics.

Objective:To explore the efficacy and safety of camrelizumab combined with apatinib as the second-line treatment for patients with advanced gastric cancer.Methods:The clinical data of 19 patients with advanced gastric cancer in Hebei General Hospital from August 2019 to March 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. All patients received camrelizumab combined with apatinib as the second-line treatment. The treatment efficacy and adverse reactions were evaluated; the survival analysis was performed using Kaplan-Meier method; Cox proportional hazards model was used to analyze the influencing factors for overall survival (OS) of patients.Results:Among 19 patients, no one achieved complete remission, 4 patients (21.1%) achieved partial remission, 9 patients (47.4%) had stable disease. The objective response rate (ORR) and disease control rate (DCR) were 21.1% (4/19) and 68.4% (13/19), respectively. The ORR of patients with deficient mismatch repair (dMMR) was higher than that of patients with proficient mismatch repair (pMMR) [100.0% (2/2) vs. 11.8% (2/17), P < 0.05], and patients with programmed death receptor ligand 1 (PD-L1) combined positive score (CPS) ≥1 had a higher DCR than patients with PD-L1 CPS < 1 [100.0% (5/5) vs. 25.0% (1/4), P < 0.05]. The median follow-up time of 19 patients was 14.7 months (12.0-17.4 months), the median progression-free survival time and OS time were 2.8 months and 5.7 months (95% CI 2.4-8.9 months). Increased lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) was negatively correlated with OS ( χ2 = 10.262, P = 0.001). Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that LDH was an independent influencing factor for the OS of patients (<250 U/L vs. ≥250 U/L: HR = 0.149, 95% CI 0.039-0.657, P = 0.005). The most common treatment-related adverse reactions were fatigue (52.6%, 10 cases), anemia (47.4%, 9 cases), thrombocytopenia (36.8%, 7 cases), rash (36.8%, 7 cases), and reactive capillary hemangioma (36.8%, 7 cases). Conclusions:Camrelizumab combined with apatinib as the second-line treatment for advanced gastric cancer have good efficacy and safety.

OBJECTIVE To explore the molecular mechanism for a blood sample with mixed-field hemagglutination upon determination of ABO blood group. METHODS Serological techniques were employed to identify the erythrocyte phenotype. The A and B antigens were detected by flow cytometry. The preliminary genotype of ABO gene was assayed with sequence-specific primer-polymerase chain reaction (PCR-SSP). Exons 6 and 7 of the ABO gene were amplified with PCR and analyzed by direct sequencing. Haplotypes of the ABO gene were analyzed by cloning sequencing as well. RESULTS The serological reaction pattern has supported an O phenotype when all the tubes were centrifuged for the first time. However, a mixed-field hemagglutination of red blood cells (RBCs) with anti-A antibodies was present after the tube was centrifuged five times later. A antigens were detected on the surface of partial red blood cells of the sample by flow cytometry. PCR- SSP results have shown that the preliminary ABO genotype was A/O. Analysis of the fragments of exons 6 and 7 of the ABO gene has indicated that heterozygosis lied as follows: 261G/A, 425T/T, 467C/T, 646A/T, 681A/G, 745C/T, 771C/T, 829A/G, conjecturing the genotype to be A307/O02, which was confirmed by haplotype sequence analysis. Compared with A101 allele, A307 allele has two missense mutations, 467C> T and 745C> T, which have resulted in substitutions Pro156Leu and Arg249Trp in the A glycosyltransferase polypeptide chain. CONCLUSION A variant allele (A307) has been identified for the first time in mainland China, which is responsible for the formation of A3 phenotype.
