BACKGROUND:Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is an important treatment for malignant hematological diseases,and delayed postoperative platelet implantation is a common complication that seriously affects the quality of patient survival;however,there are no standard protocols to improve platelet implantation rates and prevent platelet implantation delays. OBJECTIVE:To compare the safety and efficacy of oral Herombopag Olamine versus subcutaneous recombinant human thrombopoietin for promoting platelet implantation in patients with malignant hematological diseases undergoing haploid hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. METHODS:Clinical data of 163 patients with malignant hematological diseases who underwent haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation from January 2016 to October 2022 were retrospectively analyzed.A total of 72 patients who started to subcutaneously inject recombinant human thrombopoietin at+2 days were categorized into the recombinant human thrombopoietin group;a total of 27 patients who started to orally take Herombopag Olamine at+2 days were categorized into the Herombopag Olamine group;and 64 patients who did not apply Herombopag Olamine or recombinant human thrombopoietin were categorized into the blank control group.The implantation status,incidence of acute graft-versus-host disease of degree II-IV within 100 days,1-year survival rate,1-year recurrence rate,and safety were analyzed in the three groups. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)The average follow-up time was 52(12-87)months.The implantation time of neutrophils in the blank control group,recombinant human thrombopoietin group,and Herombopag Olamine group was(12.95±3.88)days,(14.04±3.71)days,and(13.89±2.74)days,respectively,with no statistically significant difference(P=0.352);the implantation time of platelets was(15.16±6.27)days,(17.67±6.52)days,and(17.00±4.75)days,with no statistically significant difference(P=0.287).(2)The complete platelet implantation rate on day 60 was 64.06%,90.28%,and 92.59%,respectively,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.001).The subgroup analysis showed that the difference between the blank control group and the recombinant human thrombopoietin group was statistically significant(P<0.001),and the difference between the blank control group and the Herombopag Olamine group was statistically significant(P=0.004).The difference was not statistically significant between the recombinant human thrombopoietin group and Herombopag Olamine group(P=0.535).(3)100-day II-IV degree acute graft-versus-host disease incidence in the blank control group,recombinant human thrombopoietin group,and Herombopag Olamine group were 25.00%,30.56%,and 25.93%,respectively,and the difference was not statistically significant(P=0.752).(4)The incidence of cytomegalovirus anemia,cytomegalovirus pneumonia,and hepatic function injury had no statistical difference among the three groups(P>0.05).(5)During the follow-up period,there was no thrombotic event in any of the three groups of patients.(6)The results showed that recombinant human thrombopoietin and Herombopag Olamine could improve the platelet implantation rate of malignant hematological disease patients after haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation,with comparable efficacy and good safety.

As an important parameter in the field of pathological morphology,tumor budding is the histological ba-sis for tumor invasion and metastasis,which is reflected in various types of cancer,such as oropharyngeal cancer,colo-rectal cancer,esophageal cancer,lung cancer,uterine cancer,etc.The in-depth study of tumor budding by scholars suggests that it can be used as a prognostic indicator for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma(HNSCC).This arti-cle aims to review the research progress on the occurrence,grading,and prediction of cancer prognosis in tumor bud-ding,with the hope of providing assistance in clinical treatment decision-making for HNSCC.

Objective To investigate the protective effects of Ligilactobacillus salivarius Li01(L.salivarius Li01)against DNA damage induced by Helicobacter pylori(Hp),Benzo(a)pyrene(BaP),and Hp+BaP,and to evaluate the probiotic properties of L.salivarius Li01.Methods After 1 week of adaptive feeding,specific pathogen-free male Mongolian gerbils were randomly assigned to groups and subjected to intragastric administration of Hp,BaP,and Hp+BaP for model induction.At week 32 post model establishment,therapeutic L.salivarius Li01 was administered intragastrically.At week 36,peripheral blood samples were collected from each group for the comet assay,while liver tissues were collected and tested for Cyp1a1 gene expression levels.Results Compared with those in the control group,the comet tail length,％tail DNA,and hepatic Cyp1a1 expression levels were significantly increased in the Hp,BaP,and Hp+BaP groups(P＜0.0001).Among these,the comet tail length,olive tail moment,％tail DNA,and hepatic Cyp1a1 expression levels were significantly higher in the Hp+BaP group than in the Hp and BaP groups(P＜0.05).Following intervention with L.salivarius Li01,the comet tail length,olive tail moment,％tail DNA,and hepatic Cyp1a1 expression levels were significantly reduced in each group(P＜0.001).Conclusions Hp infection,BaP exposure,and the Hp+BaP combination induced DNA damage in the peripheral lymphocytes of Mongolian gerbils,with the Hp+BaP combination showing synergistic damage.L.salivarius Li01 had a protective effect against DNA damage caused by Hp,BaP,and Hp+BaP.

To investigate the antimicrobial resistance of Enterococci isolated from 596 anal swabs,feces and environmental samples were collected from pig,cattle,chicken and quail farms in Chang-sha,Hunan Province,Enterococci were isolated and identified by mass spectrometry.The minimum inhibitory concentrations(MICs)of 10 antimicrobial agents were determined by AGAR diffusion method.Whole genome sequencing(WGS)was used to detect the distribution of multilocus se-quence typing(ST),drug resistance genes and virulence genes.A total of 272 strains of Enterococ-cus were isolated(45.6％).The isolates were resistant to cefoxitin(68.9％)and cefotiofur(58.5％),followed by trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole(52.2％),vancomycin(4.4％),and linezolid(13.6％).In this study,six linezolid highly resistant Enterococci isolates were analyzed by whole genome sequencing to explore the transmission mechanism of linezolid resistance because linezolid is forbidden to be used in aquaculture.ST403(4/6),ST16(1/6)and ST476(1/6)were the most common ST types,which all originated from the same farm.Three oxazolidinone resistance genes(cfr,poxtA and optrA)were found in all 21 strains.One strain(Ecc60)carried all three oxazo-lidinone resistance genes,but none of them were located on the plasmid.tet(M),aph(3')-Ⅲ,and lsa(A)were found in all six Enterococcus isolates.Interestingly,the present study is the first to i-dentify enterococci carrying the optrA gene in quail fecal samples.The analysis of the genetic envi-ronment of oxazolidinone resistance genes showed that the genetic environment of cfr(D),poxtA and optrA of isolates from the same farm was similar.A total of 19 virulence genes were detected in 6 isolates,of which 12 genes(ElrA,SrtA,ace,agg,cCF10,cOB1,cad,camE,ebpA,ebpC,efaAfs,tpx)were carried by all 6 isolates,and the types of virulence genes in strains from the same farm were extremely similar.The results showed that the drug resistance of Enterococci iso-lated from the fish farms in Changsha was serious,and the resistance rate to linezolid,which was prohibited in the fish farms,was high.The oxazolidinone resistance gene loci were accompanied by other resistance genes,especially the florfenicol resistance gene(FexA),which may be related to the abuse of florfenicol in the fish farms.

Objective To identify independent predictors of prognosis in MMNS and to examine the expression of CD4,CD8,CD20 and their relationship with prognosis.Methods 87 patients with MMNS were retrospectively an-alyzed to summarize their clinicopathologic characteristics;the expression of CD4,CD8,and CD20 in MMNS were observed by EnVision immunohistochemical staining(IHC)to analyze the relationship between the expression of these markers and prognosis.Results MMNS with sinus,surrounding tissue invasion,larger tumor and higher AJCC stage showed a worse prognosis.No significant correlation was found among sex,age,histological type,melanin granules,mitotic figures and survival rate.The counts of CD4+,CD8+and CD20+TILs in intra-tumoral stroma were positively correlated with the density of TILs at the base of the tumor.CD20+B cells did not have a central tendency to aggregate to form tertiary lymphoid structures,whether in the intratumoral stroma or in the basal stroma of the tumor,the three cell subsets were admixed.There was no statistically significant difference in OS be-tween CD4+,CD8+,and CD20+subsets.Conclusions The number of CD20+B cells was significantly less than that of CD4+and CD8+T cells in both the intratumoral stroma and the basal stroma of the tumor,and tertiary lymphoid structures fail to be formed,which,unlike cutaneous malignant melanoma,might be a cause of the poor prognosis of MMNS.

Objective To explore the impact of family sandplay therapy based on the narrative concept on family resilience and sense of meaning in life among gastric cancer patients.Methods A total of 104 gastric cancer patients were selected and randomly divided into control group and experi-mental group,with 52 patients in each group.The control group received routine nursing care,while the experimental group received family sandplay therapy based on the narrative concept in addition to routine nursing care.Both groups were assessed using the Chinese Family Resilience Assessment Scale(C-FRAS)and the Chinese Meaning in Life Questionnaire(C-MLQ)before the intervention and at 1 month and 3 months post-intervention.The scores of scales were compared.Results After interven-tion,the total C-FRAS score and score of each dimension were higher in the experimental group than those in the control group,and both the total C-FRAS score and score of each dimension showed an upward with time extension.The total C-MLQ score and score of each dimension were also higher in the experimental group compared with the control group(P＜0.05).Conclusion Family sandplay therapy based on the narrative concept can enhance family resilience and sense of meaning in life a-mong gastric cancer patients.

Objective:To investigate the correlation of combined detection of p16 and Rb with high-risk human papilloma virus (HR-HPV) infection in non-oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (NOPSCC) of the head and neck.Methods:A total of 68 NOPSCC cases of the head and neck (23 cases of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses and 45 cases of larynx) with complete clinical and pathological data, diagnosed at the Beijing Tongren Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing, China from November 2013 to December 2023, were collected. The expression of p16 and Rb was detected using immunohistochemistry of the EnVision two-step method, while the HR-HPV mRNA expression was detected using in situ hybridization. The concordance, sensitivity, and specificity of p16 alone and the combined detection of p16 and Rb for detecting HR-HPV infection were analyzed.Results:Among the 68 patients with NOPSCC, 53 were male and 15 were female, with a median age of 63.5 (range, 57.3 to 66.8) years. 41 patients had a smoking history and 27 did not. 33 patients had an early T stage (T1/T2) and 35 had advanced T stage (T3/T4). 14 patients had lymph node metastasis and 2 had distant metastasis. Histological types included 62 cases of keratinized squamous cell carcinoma, 5 cases of non-keratinized squamous cell carcinoma, and 1 case of basal-like squamous cell carcinoma. 25 cases were positive for p16. Among the 25 cases, 16 cases were positive for Rb, and 6 cases were positive for HR-HPV mRNA. 43 cases were negative for p16, including 38 cases positive for Rb and no cases positive for HR-HPV mRNA. The concordance between p16 and HR-HPV mRNA expression was poor ( Kappa=0.285, P=0.001), with a sensitivity of 100.0% and specificity of 69.4%. In contrast, the combined detection of p16+/Rb- showed high concordance with HR-HPV mRNA expression ( Kappa=0.719, P<0.001), with a sensitivity of 100.0% and specificity of 95.2%. Conclusions:In NOPSCC of the head and neck, the combined detection of p16 and Rb may be used as a marker for assessing HR-HPV infection. Recognizing the p16+/Rb- expression pattern in NOPSCC can improve the specificity of HR-HPV detection.

Objective To compare the effects of perfusion tube and pressure air gun on endoscopic channels drying by using the stripped endoscope model,so as to explore the application value of perfusion tube in endoscopic channels drying.Methods After the standard manual cleaning and disinfection process,the stripped endoscope model was randomly divided into group A and group B.Each group was subjected to 30 tests.Group A was injected with a perfusion tube,and group B was injected with a pressure air gun.The liquid residues in the endoscope tubes were observed visually and with a magnifying lens,and the time of thorough drying of the endoscope channels and the physical fatigue of the operators were compared between the two groups.Results The average drying time of the group A was(366.47±75.74)s,the average drying time of the group B was(338.40±65.81)s,there was no significant difference between the two groups(t=-1.53,P=0.131).The fatigue degree of the group A was lower than group B(t=16.79,P＜0.01).Conclusion There is no statistical difference in the air delivery time between the perfusion tube and the pressure air gun drying endoscopic tube,and the operator's physical fatigue is light when the perfusion tube is used,so it is recommended to use the perfusion tube drying endoscopic tube in clinic.
