Objective: To investigate the mediating role of children s sleep quality in the association between mother-child relationship and the executive function of preschool children, providing a reference for promoting the development of the executive function of preschool children. Methods: A stratified cluster sampling method was used to select 842 preschoolers from 12 kindergartens in Wuhu City, Anhui Province in December 2021 as the subjects of the first follow up study with follow up every six months thereafter. Finally, 746 children were included in the study after 3 follow up. Spearman correlation analysis was used to explore the associations among mother-child relationship, sleep quality and executive function in preschool children. Bootstrap program and PROCESS software were applied to test the mediating effect of sleep quality in the association between mother-child relationship and the executive function of preschool children. Results: Conflictual mother-child relationship was positively correlated with the total score of executive function, as well as scores of inhibitory, shifting, emotional control, working memory, and organizational planning ( r=0.40, 0.37, 0.36, 0.41, 0.38 , 0.34, all P <0.05). Dependent mother-child relationship was positively correlated with the total score of executive function, as well as scores of inhibitory, shifting, emotional control, working memory , and organizational planning ( r=0.23, 0.20, 0.21, 0.22 , 0.22, 0.19, all P <0.05). Sleep quality was positively correlated with the total executive function score ( r=0.27, P <0.01). After adjusting for confounding factors, sleep quality played a partial mediating role in the associations between dependent and conflictual mother-child relationships and executive function, the mediating effects were 19.40% and 11.22% respectively. Conclusions Sleep quality plays a mediating role in the association between mother-child relationship and the executive function of preschool children. Improving sleep quality in the early stage can promote the executive function of preschool children.

All the donor feet were kept with 5 toes, with full, intact and good in appearance. According to the AOFAS foot function scoring standard, the average score achieved 95 points, and were excellent.Conclusion:Application of transfer of free proximal segment of interphalangeal joint composite tissue flap of the second toe in reconstruction of the interphalangeal joint defect of a finger, and simultaneously reconstruct the defect left with the donor second toe with a fibular proximal great toe flap pedicled with bone tissue can achieve good clinical efficacy in reconstruction of the defects of interphalangeal joint of fingers, restore the function of the interphalangeal joint of fingers and the appearance and function of the donor foot.

Objective:To construct a novel dual-specific antibody targeting human CD123 (CD123 DuAb) and study its effects in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) .Methods:Based on the variable region of the CD123 monoclonal antibody independently developed at our institution, the CD123 DuAb expression plasmid was constructed by molecular cloning and transfected into ExpiCHO-S cells to prepare the antibody protein. Through a series of in vitro experiments, its activation and proliferation effect on T cells, as well as the effect of promoting T-cell killing of AML cells, were verified.Results:① A novel CD123 DuAb plasmid targeting CD123 was successfully constructed and expressed in the Expi-CHO eukaryotic system. ②The CD123 DuAb could bind both CD3 on T cells and CD123 on CD123 + tumor cells. ③When T cells were co-cultured with MV4-11 cells with addition of the CD123 DuAb at a concentration of 1 nmol/L, the positive expression rates of CD69 and CD25 on T cells were 68.0% and 44.3%, respectively, which were significantly higher than those of the control group ( P<0.05). ④Co-culture with CD123 DuAb at 1 nmol/L promoted T-cell proliferation, and the absolute T-cell count increased from 5×10 5/ml to 3.2×10 6/ml on day 9, and CFSE fluorescence intensity decreased significantly. ⑤ With the increase in CD123 DuAb concentration in the culture system, T-cell exhaustion and apoptosis increased. When the CD123 DuAb was added at a concentration of 1 nmol/L to the culture system, the proportion of CD8 + PD-1 + LAG-3 + T cells was 10.90%, and the proportion of propidium iodide (PI) - Annexin Ⅴ + T cells and PI + Annexin Ⅴ + T cells was 18.27% and 11.43%, respectively, which were significantly higher than those in the control group ( P<0.05). ⑥ The CD123 DuAb significantly activated T cells, and the activation intensity was positively correlated with its concentration. The expression rate of CD107a on T cells reached 16.05% with 1 nmol/L CD123 DuAb, which was significantly higher than that of the control group ( P<0.05). ⑦The CD123 DuAb promoted cytokine secretion by T cells at a concentration of 1 nmol/L, and the concentration of IFN-γ and TNF-α in the supernatant of the co-culture system reached 193.8 pg/ml and 169.8 pg/ml, respectively, which was significantly higher than that of the control group ( P<0.05). ⑧When CD123 DuAb was added at a concentration of 1 nmol/L to the co-culture system of T cells and CD123 + tumor cells, the killing intensity of T cells significantly increased, and the residual rates of CD123 + MV4-11 cells, CD123 + Molm13 cells, and CD123 + THP-1 cells were 7.4%, 6.7%, and 14.6% on day 3, respectively, which were significantly lower than those in the control group ( P<0.05) . Conclusion:In this study, a novel CD123 DuAb was constructed and expressed. In vitro experiments verified that the DuAb binds to CD123 + tumor cells and T cells simultaneously, promotes T-cell activation and proliferation, and facilitates their anti-leukemia effect, which provides a basis for further clinical research.

Objective:To construct a novel chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cell targeting CD138 and to investigate its cytotoxicity against myeloma cells.Methods:The hybridoma strain that can stably secrete the CD138 monoclonal antibody (mAb) was prepared and obtained through monoclonal antibody screening technology. The hybridoma strain cells were intraperitoneally injected into mice to produce ascites containing monoclonal antibodies, which were then collected and purified to obtain pure CD138 mAb. Further examinations were performed to assess the biological characteristics of CD138 mAb. The variable region sequence of this antibody was amplified through reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction and was used as the antigen recognition domain of CD138 CAR, which was subsequently expressed on the surface of T cells by lentiviral infection. Flow cytometry was employed to assess the phenotype of CD138 CAR-T cells. In vitro cytotoxicity and degranulation assays were performed to evaluate their antitumor effects.Results:① We successfully prepared anti-human CD138 antibody hybridoma cell lines and screened a hybridoma cell strain, 5G2, which could persistently and stably secrete the anti-CD138 antibody. ② The purified CD138 (5G2) mAb can especially recognize CD138 + cells with a binding affinity constant (K D) of 6.011×10 -9 mol/L and showed no significant binding activity with CD138 - cells. ③The variable region sequence of the CD138 (5G2) antibody was obtained using molecular cloning technology, and CD138 (5G2) CAR was successfully constructed and expressed on T cells through lentivirus infection and, concurrently, demonstrated effective binding to recombinant human CD138 protein.④ The proliferation of T cells transduced with the CD138 (5G2) CAR was highly efficient. The phenotype analysis revealed that CD138 (5G2) CAR-T cells exhibited a greater tendency to differentiate into central memory T cells and memory stem T cells, with a reduced proportion of terminally differentiated effector memory subsets. ⑤CD138 (5G2) CAR-T cells demonstrated specific cytotoxicity against CD138 + myeloma cell line H929, whereas CD138 - cell line K562 remained unaffected. The percentage of residual H929 cells was (12.92±8.02) % after co-culturing with CD138 (5G2) CAR-T cells, while (54.25±15.79) % was left in the Vector-T group (E∶T=1∶2; P<0.001). ⑥Results of degranulation assays demonstrated a significant activation of CD138 (5G2) CAR-T cells after co-culture with the H929 cell line, whereas no significant activation was observed in Vector-T cells [ (25.78±3.35) % vs (6.13±1.30) %, P<0.001]. ⑦After co-culturing with CD138 + cells, CD138 (5G2) CAR-T cells exhibited a significant increase in cytokine secretion compared to the Vector-T group [interleukin-2: (1 697.52±599.05) pg/ml vs (5.07±1.17) pg/ml, P<0.001; interferon-γ: (3 312.20±486.38) pg/ml vs (9.28±1.46) pg/ml, P<0.001; and tumor necrosis factor-α: (1 837.43±640.49) pg/ml vs (8.75±1.65) pg/ml, P<0.001]. However, no significant difference was observed in cytokine secretion levels between the two groups after co-culturing with CD138 - cells. Conclusion:This study successfully prepared a novel monoclonal antibody against CD138, and CAR-T cells constructed with the antigen recognition domain derived from this 5G2 mAb demonstrated effective antitumor activity against myeloma cells. This can be used as a new option for the detection of the CD138 antigen and proposes a novel strategy for multiple myeloma immunotherapy.

Rheumatoid arthritis(RA)is a clinically refractory autoimmune disease.The destruction of bone and articular cartilage is a key pathological feature in the middle and late stages of RA.Acid-sensing ion channel 1a(ASIC1a)is a member of extracellular H+activated cation channel family,which can transmit low pH signal from extracellular microenvironment into cells,activate downstream pathways and induce a series of pathological changes.New evidence shows that ASIC1a plays a key role in the pathogenesis of RA,promoting joint inflammation,synovial hyperplasia and the destruction of bone and articular cartilage,which is of great significance in the pathological process of disease.In this paper,the molecular characteristics of ASIC1a are briefly reviewed,and the possible mechanism of ASIC1a to improve cartilage injury of RA is emphasized,so as to provide new ideas for the treatment of RA.

Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.

Objective: To explore the mediating role of psychological and physical aggression in the association between maternal emotional symptoms with emotional and behavioral problems in preschool children, so as to provide references for effective intervention of risk factors related to childrens emotional and behavioral problems. Methods: A longitudinal study was conducted to select 12 kindergarten children and their mothers in Wuhu City, Anhui Province by using stratified clustering sampling. The baseline survey was carried out in June 2021, followed up every six months, and a total of 3 followups were administered. Totally 853 valid questionnaires of junior class children were included by the survey data from baseline, second and thirl followups. The Depression Anxiety and Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21), the Parent-Child Conflict Tactics Scales (CTSPC) and the Strength and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) were used to measure maternal emotional symptoms, psychological and physical aggression, and childrens emotional and behavioral problems, respectively. Results: The physical aggression of mothers towards children in boys was higher than in girls (t=3.53, P<0.05). The results of correlation analysis showed that maternal depressive symptoms were positively correlated with psychological aggression, physical aggression and childrens SDQ scores (r=0.20, 0.21, 0.18, P<0.01), maternal anxiety symptoms were positively correlated with psychological aggression, physical aggression and childrens SDQ scores (r=0.24, 0.22, 0.10, P<0.01), respectively; maternal stress symptoms were positively correlated with psychological aggression, physical aggression. The SDQ scores were positively correlated (r=0.26, 0.25, 0.18, P<0.01), and the scores of maternal psychological aggression and physical aggression were positively correlated with the SDQ scores of children (r=0.12, 0.16, P<0.01). The mediating analysis showed that after controlling for related confounding factors, psychological aggression played a partial mediating effect in the association between maternal depressive symptoms and childrens emotional and behavioral problems, and the mediating effect ratio was 8.05%. Physical aggression played a partial mediating effect in the association between maternal depression, anxiety and stress symptoms and childrens emotional and behavioral problems, which were 15.94%, 11.73% and 12.54% (P<0.05), respectively. Conclusions Psychological and physical aggression play mediating roles in the association between maternal emotional symptoms and childrens emotional and behavioral problems, and actively improving maternal emotional symptoms and their childrens discipline methods can help reduce the occurrence of emotional and behavioral problems in preschool children.
