OBJECTIVE To investigate the metabolic changes in MEG-01 megakaryocytes after treatment with linezolid (LZD) from metabolomic perspective and its impact on the the proliferation of cells and generation of platelet precursors. METHODS MEG-01 cells were seeded in proliferation medium and divided into blank control group (untreated), solvent control group (4‰DMSO), and 100, 200, 400, 800 μg/mL LZD groups. The proliferation status of cells in each group was observed under the microscope; cell proliferation and viability were assessed. Cells were also seeded in differentiation medium and divided into blank control group (untreated), solvent control group (4‰DMSO), and 400 μg/mL LZD group; after 14 days of culture, platelet precursor generation was observed under the microscope; immunofluorescence staining was performed to count the proportion of cells producing pseudopodia, the relative length of pseudopodia was measured, and the expression levels of CD41 and CD42b mRNA were assessed. Cells from the solvent control group and the 400 μg/mL LZD group, cultured in differentiation medium for 14 days, were extracted and subjected to non-targeted metabolomics and targeted energy metabolomics analysis using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. The relative content of pyruvate in cells, after being cultured for 14 days with the addition of pyruvate (10 mmol/L) or LZD (400 μg/mL)+pyruvate (10 mmol/L), was measured and observed, as well as its effects on cell proliferation and platelet precursor generation. RESULTS 400 μg/mL LZD could significantly inhibit the proliferation of MEG-01 cells and the generation of platelet precursors (P<0.01). Non-targeted metabolomic analysis of MEG-01 cells after 400 μg/mL LZD treatment revealed significant changes in energy metabolism-related pathways such as mTOR signaling pathway, alanine, aspartate and glutamate metabolism, and central carbon metabolism in cancer. Targeted energy metabolomic analysis further showed that the relative contents of adenosine triphosphate, guanosine triphosphate, and pyruvate in MEG-01 cells were significantly reduced (P<0.01), while the relative contents of lactate were significantly increased (P<0.01). Compared with the LZD group, the relative content of pyruvate, cell count, the proportion of cells producing pseudopodia and the relative length of pseudopodia were significantly increased in the LZD+pyruvate group (P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS LZD may reduce pyruvate production by inhibiting mitochondrial energy metabolism, thereby suppressing megakaryocyte proliferation and platelet precursor production, ultimately leading to the occurrence of thrombocytopenia.

As a potential vectored vaccine,Newcastle disease virus(NDV)has been subject to various studies for vaccine development,while relatively little research has outlined the immunomodulatory effect of the virus in antigen presentation.To elucidate the key inhibitory factor in regulating the interaction of infected dendritic cells(DCs)and T cells,DCs were pretreated with the NDV vaccine strain LaSota as an inhibitor and stimulated with lipopolysaccharide(LPS)for further detection by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA),flow cytometry,immunoblotting,and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction(qRT-PCR).The results revealed that NDV infection resulted in the inhibition of interleukin(IL)-12p40 in DCs through a p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase(MAPK)-dependent manner,thus inhibiting the synthesis of IL-12p70,leading to the reduction in T cell proliferation and the secretion of interferon-γ(IFN-γ),tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),and IL-6 induced by DCs.Consequently,downregulated cytokines accelerated the infection and viral transmission from DCs to T cells.Furthermore,several other strains of NDV also exhibited inhibitory activity.The current study reveals that NDV can modulate the intensity of the innate?adaptive immune cell crosstalk critically toward viral invasion improvement,highlighting a novel mechanism of virus-induced immunosuppression and providing new perspectives on the improvement of NDV-vectored vaccine.

Objective:
To explore the limb salvage strategies for patients with high voltage electric burns of extremities on the verge of amputation.
Methods:
From January 2003 to March 2019, 61 patients with high voltage electric burns of extremities on the verge of amputation were treated in our hospital. All of them were male, aged 15-58 years, including 49 cases of upper limbs and 12 cases of lower limbs. The wound area after thorough debridement ranged from 15 cm×11 cm to 35 cm×20 cm. Emergency surgery for reconstruction of the radial artery with saphenous vein graft under eschar was performed in 5 cases. The arteries of 36 patients (including 7 cases with simultaneous ulnar artery and radial artery reconstruction) were reconstructed with various forms of blood flow-through after debridement, among them, the radial artery of 13 cases, the ulnar artery of 8 cases, the brachial artery of 8 cases, and the femoral artery of 2 cases were reconstructed with saphenous vein graft; the radial artery of 3 cases and the ulnar artery of 7 cases were reconstructed with the descending branch of the lateral circumflex femoral artery graft; the radial artery of 2 cases were reconstructed with greater omentum vascular graft; the reflux vein of 3 cases with wrist and forearm annular electric burns were reconstructed with saphenous vein graft. According to the actual situation of the patients, 12 cases of latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap, 6 cases of paraumbilical flap, 28 cases of anterolateral thigh flap, 10 cases of abdominal combined axial flap, 5 cases of greater omentum combined with flap and/or skin grafts were used to repair the wounds after debridement and cover the main wounds as much as possible. Some cases were filled with muscle flap in deep defect at the same time. The area of tissue flaps ranged from 10 cm×10 cm to 38 cm×22 cm. For particularly large wounds and annular wounds, the latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap, the paraumbilical flap, the abdominal combined axial flap, and the greater omentum combined with flap and/or skin grafts were used more often. Donor sites of three patients were closed directly, and those of 58 patients were repaired with thin and medium split-thickness skin or mesh skin grafts. The outcome of limb salvage, flap survival, and follow-up of patients in this group were recorded.
Results:
All the transplanted tissue flaps survived in 61 patients. Fifty-six patients had successful limb salvage, among them, 31 limbs were healed after primary surgery; 20 limbs with flap infection and tissue necrosis survived after debridement and flap sutured in situ; 5 limbs with flap infection, radial artery thrombosis, and hand blood supply crisis survived after debridement and radial artery reconstruction with saphenous vein graft. Five patients had limb salvage failure, among them, 3 patients with wrist electric burns had embolism on the distal end of the transplanted blood vessels, without condition of re-anastomosis, and the hands gradually necrotized; although the upper limb of one patient was salvaged at first, due to the extensive necrosis and infection at the distal radius and ulna and the existence of hand blood supply under flap, considering prognostic function and economic benefits, amputation was required by the patient; although the foot of one patient was salvaged at first, due to the repeated infection, sinus formation, extensive bone necrosis of foot under flap, dullness of sole and dysfunction in walking for a long time, amputation was required by the patient. During the follow-up of 6 months to 5 years, 56 patients had adequate blood supply in the salvaged limbs, satisfied appearance of flaps, and certain recovery of limb function.
Conclusions
Timely revascularization, early thorough debridement, and transplantation of large free tissue flap, combined tissue flap, or blood flow-through flap with rich blood supply are the basic factors to get better limb preservation and recovery of certain functions for patients with high voltage electric burns of limbs on the verge of amputation.

OBJECTIVE: To establish the method for simultaneous determination of clopidogrel (CLP), its intermediate metabolite (2-O-CLP), inactive metabolite (CLPCA) and active metabolite (CLPTM) in human plasma. METHODS: Totally 90 patients diagnosed as stroke were selected from the First Affiliated Hospital of Army Medical University. They were given one CLP tablet (75 mg/tablet) orally on an empty stomach in the morning. Blood samples were collected 2 h after taking the tablet. CLPTM- D was formed by derivation of CLPTM with 2-bromo-3’-methoxyacetophenone and extracted by precipitation of acetonitrile protein together with the other three substances to be measured. LC-MS/MS method was adopted. The determination was performed on Agilent poroshell 120 EC-C18 column with mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile (0.1% formic acid) and water (0.1% formic acid) (90 ∶ 10, V/V). The quantitation analysis was performed using multiple reaction monitoring at the specific ion transitions of m/z 308.1→198.1 (CLPCA), 322.3→212.0 (CLP), 338.3→155.0 (2-O-CLP), 504.4→354.1 (CLPTM-D) and 264.0→154.1 (ticlopidine, internal standard), respectively. RESULTS: The retention time of CLPCA, CLP, 2-O-CLP, CLPTM-D and internal standard were 2.01, 3.32, 2.83, 2.68, 1.87 min, respectively. The linear range of CLPCA, CLP, 2-O-CLP and CLPTM-D were 100-10 000, 0.2-20, 0.3-30, 0.5-50 ng/mL (all r≥0.999 5). The intra-day and inter-day RSD were all less than 9.5% (n=5). Accuracy ranged from 93.5%-98.9% (n=5), and extraction recovery was from 85.4% to 95.9% (n=5). The matrix effect ranged from 2.7%-6.2% (n=5). In stability tests (storing at -80 ℃ for 3 months, 3 freeze-thaw cycles, storing at 4 ℃ for 8 h), RE of CLP, CLPCA and CLPTM-D were all lower than 10.0% (n=5). CONCLUSIONS: Established LC-MS/MS method has the advantages of high specificity, accuracy and reliability, and can be used to detect the concentration of CLP and its three metabolites in human plasma.
