Objective To summarize and analyze the efficacy and influencing factors of second allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) for acute leukemia relapsing after the first allo-HSCT. Methods Clinical data of 17 patients with acute leukemia who underwent second allo-HSCT at Peking University First Hospital from January 2005 to December 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. Results Among the 17 patients, 7 achieved long-term disease-free survival after second transplantation. The median progression-free survival after successful second transplantation was 7 months (range 8 days to 69 months). The relapse fatality was 24%, and the transplant-related fatality was 35%. Conclusions Second transplantation is an effective treatment for relapsed and refractory acute leukemia, but the relapse fatality and transplant-related fatality remain high. Patient age, time of relapse after the first transplantation and disease status before second transplantation are all factors that affect the efficacy of second transplantation. Younger age, late relapse and complete remission of disease before second transplantation are all beneficial for long-term disease-free survival after second transplantation.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects and mechanisms of oliceridine fumarate (TRV130) in improving postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) in elderly rats based on the Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)/nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) pathway. METHODS Rats were randomly divided into the control group (normal saline), the model group (normal saline), the TRV130 group (2.8 mg/kg), the TLR4/NF-κB pathway inhibitor (TAK-242) group (3 mg/kg), the β -arrestin inhibitor (Barbadin) group (3 mg/kg), and the traditional opioid drug (morphine) group (2.8 mg/kg), with 15 rats in each group. Except for the control group, POCD models were established in all other groups. From the first day after surgery, drugs/normal saline were administered via caudal vein injection once daily for 3 consecutive days. After the last administration, the pathological damage of hippocampal tissue was observed; the cognitive function, serum inflammatory factor levels, hippocampal neurons apoptosis rate, and the expression of ionized calcium-binding adapter molecule 1 (Iba-1), glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), and TLR4/NF-κB pathway-related mRNA and protein in hippocampal tissue were detected. RESULTS In the model group, the neurons in the CA1 region of the hippocampus were disordered and sparse, with decreased number, pyknotic and fragmented nuclei accompanied by inflammatory cell infiltration. Compared with the control group, the escape latency, serum levels of tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and IL-1β, hippocampal neurons apoptosis rate, average fluorescence intensities of Iba-1 and GFAP, mRNA expression levels of TLR4 and NF-κB p65, and their protein expression/phosphorylation levels in hippocampal tissue were significantly increased/elevated in the model group ( P <0.05); the time spent in the target quadrant and the number of platform crossings were significantly shortened/decreased ( P <0.05). Compared with the model group, the cognitive function, pathological, inflammatory, and apoptosis-related indicators were significantly improved in the TRV130 group, TAK-242 group, and Barbadin group ( P <0.05); the mRNA expression levels of TLR4 and NF-κB p65 and their protein expression/phosphorylation levels were significantly decreased in the TRV130 group and TAK-242 group ( P <0.05). CONCLUSIONS TRV130 may improve POCD in elderly rats by inhibiting the TLR4/NF-κB pathway and alleviating postoperative central nervous system inflammatory responses.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect and mechanism of cordycepin in inhibiting fat infiltration after rotator cuff injuries in rats by regulating the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, providing a theoretical basis for clinical treatment of rotator cuff injuries. MethodsFifty SPF-grade female SD rats were used in this study, with 10 randomly selected as the blank group. A rotator cuff injury repair model was established by supraspinatus tendon and suprascapular nerve compression. The successfully modeled rats were randomized into model and low-dose (20 mg·kg-1), medium-dose (40 mg·kg-1), and high-dose (80 mg·kg-1) cordycepin groups. After 6 weeks of treatment, the gait analysis was performed to assess the limb function in rats. Oil red O staining and Masson staining were employed to observe pathological changes in the muscle tissue. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to measure the levels of interleukin-1β (IL-1β), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in the serum. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) was employed to detect the expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) and CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein α (C/EBPα), which are markers of adipogenesis. Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR) and Western blot were employed to determine the mRNA and protein levels, respectively, of Wnt3a, Wnt10b, and β-catenin. ResultsCompared with the blank group, the model group showed decreases in stride length and paw print area (P<0.01), an increase in ratio of wet muscle mass reduction and a decrease in muscle fiber cross-sectional area (P<0.05), and decreased ratios of fat infiltration area and collagen fiber area (P<0.01). Additionally, the model group showed elevated levels of IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α (P<0.05), up-regulated protein levels of PPARγ and C/EBPα (P<0.01), and down-regulated mRNA and protein levels of Wnt3a, Wnt10b, and β-catenin (P<0.05, P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the low-, medium-, and high-dose cordycepin groups showed increases in stride length and paw print area (P<0.01), a decrease in ratio of wet muscle mass reduction and an increase in muscle fiber cross-sectional area (P<0.05), and increases in ratios of fat infiltration area and collagen fiber area (P<0.05, P<0.01). In addition, cordycepin lowered the serum levels of IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α (P<0.05, P<0.01), down-regulated the protein levels of PPARγ and C/EBPα (P<0.01), and up-regulated the mRNA and protein levels of Wnt3a, Wnt10b, and β-catenin (P<0.05, P<0.01). ConclusionCordycepin can improve the limb function, alleviate rotator cuff muscle atrophy, fat infiltration, and fibrosis, and inhibit inflammation in rats by regulating the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.

Progress in Biochemistry and Biophysics 2025;52(2):478-486
ObjectiveChemotherapy is one of the important therapeutic approaches for cancer treatment. However, the emergence of multidrug resistance and side effects significantly limit its application. To address these challenges, chemotherapy is often combined with other drugs or therapies. Among the 13 human fucosyltransferases (FUTs) identified, FUT8 (alpha-(1,6)-fucosyltransferase) is the only enzyme responsible for core fucosylation. Core fucosylation plays an important role in cancer occurrence, metastasis and chemotherapy resistance, making the suppression of FUT8 a potential strategy for reversing multidrug resistance. This study aims to evaluate the feasibility of combining the small molecule FUT8 inhibitor 2FF (2-deoxy-2-fluoro-L-fucose) with the clinical chemotherapeutic drug doxorubicin (DOX) for treating malignant tumors. MethodsThe human hepatocellular carcinoma cell line HepG2 and mouse colon cancer cell line CT26 cells were treated with 2FF, DOX or their combination and core fucosylation levels were assessed using Lectin blot. HepG2 and CT26 cells were exposed to 50 μmol/L 2FF for 72 h, followed by treatment with a gradient concentration of DOX for 24 h. Cell viability and IC50 values were determined via the CCK-8 assay. Transwell invasion assays were conducted to evaluate the combined effect of 2FF and DOX on the invasion ability of HepG2 cells. Flow cytometry was performed to analyze the impact of 2FF, DOX and their combination on membrane PD-L1 expression of HepG2 cells. To assess the in vivo effect, 6- to 8-week-old female BALB/c mice (20-25 g), were subcutaneously injected with 1×106 CT26 cells into the right axilla (four groups, six mice in each group). After the average tumor volume reached 100 mm3, mice were treated with DOX, 2FF, their combination, or saline (mock group) every other day. DOX was administrated intraperitoneally (2 mg/kg), 2FF intravenously (5 mg/kg), and the combination group, received the both treatment. Tumor size was measured every other day using a vernier caliper. ResultsThis study demonstrated that DOX upregulates the core fucosylation levels in HepG2 and CT26 cells,while 2FF effectively inhibits this DOX-induced effect. Furthermone, 2FF enhanced the sensitivity of HepG2 and CT26 cells to DOX. The combination of 2FF and DOX synergistically inhibited the invasion ability of HepG2 cells, and enhanced the anti-tumor efficacy of CT26 subcutaneous tumor model in BALB/c mice. However the combination treatment led to weight loss in mice. In addition, DOX increased the cell surface PD-L1 expression in HepG2 cells, which was effectively suppressed by 2FF. ConclusionThe FUT8 inhibitor 2FF effectively suppresses DOX-induced upregulation of core fucosylation and PD-L1 levels in tumor cells, and 2FF synergistically enhances the anticancer efficacy of DOX.

ObjectiveTo elucidate the critical role of rehabilitation medical records (including electronic records) in rehabilitation medicine's clinical practice and management, comprehensively analyzed the structure, core content and data standards of rehabilitation medical records, to develop a standardized medical record data architecture and core dataset suitable for rehabilitation medicine and to explore the application of rehabilitation data in performance evaluation and payment. MethodsBased on the regulatory documents Basic Specifications for Medical Record Writing and Basic Specifications for Electronic Medical Records (Trial) issued by National Health Commission of China, and referencing the World Health Organization (WHO) Family of International Classifications (WHO-FICs) classifications, International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10/ICD-11), International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF), and International Classification of Health Interventions (ICHI Beta-3), this study constructed the data architecture, core content and data standards for rehabilitation medical records. Furthermore, it explored the application of rehabilitation record summary sheets (home page) data in rehabilitation medical statistics and payment methods, including Diagnosis-related Groups (DRG), Diagnosis-Intervention Packet (DIP) and Case Mix Index. ResultsThis study proposed a systematic standard framework for rehabilitation medical records, covering key components such as patient demographics, rehabilitation diagnosis, functional assessment, rehabilitation treatment prescriptions, progress evaluations and discharge summaries. The research analyzed the systematic application methods and data standards of ICD-10/ICD-11, ICF and ICHI Beta-3 in the fields of medical record terminology, coding and assessment. Constructing a standardized data structure and data standards for rehabilitation medical records can significantly improve the quality of data reporting based on the medical record summary sheet, thereby enhancing the quality control of rehabilitation services, effectively supporting the optimization of rehabilitation medical insurance payment mechanisms, and contributing to the establishment of rehabilitation medical performance evaluation and payment based on DRG and DIP. ConclusionStructured rehabilitation records and data standardization are crucial tools for quality control in rehabilitation. Systematically applying the three reference classifications of the WHO-FICs, and aligning with national medical record and electronic health record specifications, facilitate the development of a standardized rehabilitation record architecture and core dataset. Standardizing rehabilitation care pathways based on the ICF methodology, and developing ICF- and ICD-11-based rehabilitation assessment tools, auxiliary diagnostic and therapeutic systems, and supporting terminology and coding systems, can effectively enhance the quality of rehabilitation records and enable interoperability and sharing of rehabilitation data with other medical data, ultimately improving the quality and safety of rehabilitation services.

BACKGROUND:A network-based pharmacological approach has identified multifunctional effects of the main bioactive compounds in the Trichosanthis Fructus-Allii Macrostemonis Bulbus on coronary heart disease;however,the mechanism of its therapeutic effect on coronary heart disease has not been fully elucidated. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the role and mechanism of Trichosanthis Fructus-Allii Macrostemonis Bulbus in improving coronary heart disease by regulating the composition of gut microbiota. METHODS:Forty Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into four groups:blank control group(n=10),model group(n=10),positive drug group(n=10),and medicine pair group(n=10).A rat model of coronary heart disease was established by continuous gastric perfusion of fat emulsion and injection of pituitrin.After modeling,rats in the model group were gavaged with distilled water(10 mL/kg)for control,rats in the positive drug group were gavaged with simvastatin 4 mg/kg per day,and rats in the medicine pair group were gavaged with Trichosanthis Fructus-Allii Macrostemonis Bulbus pairs 7.56 g/kg per day.All interventions lasted for 14 days.Electrocardiograms and myocardial pathology were observed,and blood lipid levels were measured.The structure of gut microbiota was analyzed using 16S rDNA sequencing technology. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Electrocardiogram results showed ST segment elevation in the model group.There were no significant abnormalities in the electrocardiograms of the positive drug group and medicine pair group.Compared with the blank control group,the levels of total cholesterol,triacylglycerol,and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol were significantly higher in the model group(P<0.05).Compared with the model group,the levels of total cholesterol,triacylglycerol,and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol were significantly lower in the positive drug group and medicine pair group(P<0.05).Compared with the blank control group,focal myocardial cell necrosis was observed in the model group,while partial myocardial cell disarray was observed in the positive drug group and medicine pair group.Compared with the blank control group,the Ace,Shannon,and Chao indices were increased(P<0.05)and the Simpson index was decreased(P<0.05)in the model group,positive drug group and medicine pair group.Compared with the model group,the Ace and Chao indices were decreased(P<0.05),while the Shannon index showed no significant difference(P>0.05)and the Simpson index was also decreased(P<0.05)in the positive drug group and medicine pair group.Compared with the blank control group,the relative abundances of Desulfovibrionia,Muribaculaceae_norank,etc.were increased in the model group,while those of Clostridia,[Eubacterium]_coprostanoligenes_group_norank,etc.were decreased.Compared with the model group,the relative abundances of WPS-2_norank,Muribaculaceae_norank,etc.were increased in the medicine pair group,while those of Clostridia,[Eubacterium]_coprostanoligenes_group_norank,etc.were decreased;the relative abundances of Desulfobacterota,[Eubacterium]_coprostanoligenes_group_norank,etc.were increased in the positive drug group,while those of Firmicutes,Muribaculaceae_norank,etc.were decreased.Compared with the positive drug group,the relative abundances of Desulfobacterota,Bacteroides,etc.were increased in the medicine pair group,while those of Firmicutes,[Eubacterium]_coprostanoligenes_group_norank,etc.were decreased.The LEfSe results showed that the medicine pair group had the highest microbial enrichment,followed by the blank control group and positive drug group,with the model group having the lowest microbial enrichment.To conclude,Trichosanthis Fructus-Allii Macrostemonis Bulbus pairs can improve the development of coronary heart disease by regulating gut microbiota composition,providing new insights for further research and development of Trichosanthis Fructus-Allii Macrostemonis Bulbus pairs.

Objective To evaluate the value of 68Ga-DOTATATE and 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging in staging and treatment decision for gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms(GEP-NEN).Methods This retrospective analysis was conducted in 49 patients with GEP-NEN undergoing 18F-FDG and 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT imaging at our hospital from August,2020 to March,2023,including 34 newly diagnosed patients and 15 patients with recurrence or metastasis after treatment.GEP-NEN were classified into G1,G2,and G3 neuroendocrine tumors(NET)and neuroendocrine carcinomas(NEC)based on pathological typing.The detection efficiency were classified into 4 patterns based on the number of positive tumor lesions detected by the two tracers:68Ga-DOTATATE>18F-FDG(A);68Ga-DOTATATE=18F-FDG(B);68Ga-DOTATATE<18F-FDG(C);and complementation(D).The value of dual-modality imaging in staging and treatment decision were evaluated by visual analysis.Results In the 49 patients with GEP-NEN,68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT was superior to 18F-FDG PET/CT for detecting systemic tumor lesions(P<0.001)and more sensitive for detecting primary/recurrent lesions,lymph node metastasis,liver metastasis,and bone metastasis(P<0.05),while 18F-FDG PET/CT had higher detection rates for lung metastasis and peritoneal metastasis(P<0.05).In terms of the detection efficiency,Pattern A was found in 46.9%(23/49)patients,Pattern B in 38.8%(19/49),Pattern C in 12.2%(6/49),and Pattern D in 2.0%(1/49).The complementary value of 18F-FDG PET/CT to 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT was 0%in G1 NET patients(0/13),8.3%in G2 NET patients(2/24),50%in G3 NET patients(3/6),and 33.3%in NEC patients(2/6).12.2%(6/49)of the patients had their staging confirmed or changed due to additional lesions detected by 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging,resulting subsequently in establishment or adjustment of their treatment plans.Conclusion 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT imaging should be the primary choice for GEP-NEN patients.Additional 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging can potentially improve precision of staging and treatment decision-making for G2,G3 and NEC patients but provides virtually no clinical benefits for G1 NET patients.
