Objective:To investigate the effects of ubiquitin-specific protease (USP) 7/47 inhibitor (Cat. No. 1247825-37-1) on the proliferation and apoptosis of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells with or without internal tandem duplications of the Flt3 gene (Flt3-ITD). Methods:ATP assay was used to detect the effects of 1247825-37-1 on the cell viability of two AML cell lines (MOLM13 and MV4-11) harboring Flt3-ITD mutation and one AML cell line (THP-1) without Flt3-ITD mutation as well as the primary Flt3-ITD-mutant and non-mutant AML cells from patient samples. Flow cytometry was used to detect the apoptosis of AML cell lines treated by different concentrations of 1247825-37-1.Results:Compared with the control group, 1247825-37-1 was able to significantly inhibit the proliferation of MOLM13, MV4-11 and THP-1 cells ( P<0.000 1). Besides, the cell viability of primary AML cells was also inhibited by 1247825-37-1, and a stronger inhibitory effect on non-mutant AML cells was observed. The USP7/USP47 inhibitor 1247825-37-1 could inhibit the proliferation of AML cells in a dose-dependent manner and a low dose (2 or 4 μmol/L) of 1247825-37-1 would be effective. Moreover, 1247825-37-1 was also able to efficiently induce the apoptosis of above AML cell lines in a dose-dependent manner. Conclusions:The USP7/USP47 inhibitor 1247825-37-1 significantly inhibits the proliferation of AML cells with or without Flt3-ITD mutation.

Pancreatic β-cell failure due to a reduction in function and mass has been defined as a primary contributor to the progression of type 2 diabetes (T2D). Reserving insulin-producing β-cells and hence restoring insulin production are gaining attention in translational diabetes research, and β-cell replenishment has been the main focus for diabetes treatment. Significant findings in β-cell proliferation, transdifferentiation, pluripotent stem cell differentiation, and associated small molecules have served as promising strategies to regenerate β-cells. In this review, we summarize current knowledge on the mechanisms implicated in β-cell dynamic processes under physiological and diabetic conditions, in which genetic factors, age-related alterations, metabolic stresses, and compromised identity are critical factors contributing to β-cell failure in T2D. The article also focuses on recent advances in therapeutic strategies for diabetes treatment by promoting β-cell proliferation, inducing non-β-cell transdifferentiation, and reprograming stem cell differentiation. Although a significant challenge remains for each of these strategies, the recognition of the mechanisms responsible for β-cell development and mature endocrine cell plasticity and remarkable advances in the generation of exogenous β-cells from stem cells and single-cell studies pave the way for developing potential approaches to cure diabetes.

Objective·To explore the correlation between serum small ubiquitin-like modifier 1(SUMO1)levels and hypertriglyceridemia in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM).Methods·A total of 239 newly diagnosed T2DM patients were recruited from the endocrinology clinic of Xinhua Hospital,Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine,between September 2020 and March 2021.Among them,92 patients had hypertriglyceridemia,and 147 patients did not.Basic information and laboratory parameters were collected.The differences in serum SUMO1 levels between the two groups were analyzed.Factors influencing hypertriglyceridemia in patients with T2DM were analyzed,and the impact of serum SUMO1 levels on the risk of hypertriglyceridemia in T2DM patients was investigated.Results·Patients with T2DM and hypertriglyceridemia had significantly higher serum SUMO1 levels compared to those without hypertriglyceridemia(1 114.99 pg/mL vs 902.43 pg/mL,P＜0.001).Binary Logistic regression analysis suggested that serum SUMO1 levels(OR=1.527,95%CI 1.200?1.943),glycated hemoglobin(OR=1.202,95%CI 1.038 ? 1.391),and blood uric acid(OR=1.006,95%CI 1.003 ? 1.010)were independent risk factors for hypertriglyceridemia in patients with T2DM.After adjusting for various confounding factors and stratifying serum SUMO1 levels into quartiles,the risk of hypertriglyceridemia in T2DM patients with the highest quartile(Q4)of serum SUMO1 levels was 2.707 times higher compared to those in the lowest quartile(Q1)(95%CI 1.231?5.951).Multiple linear stepwise regression analysis revealed that female gender,waist-to-hip ratio,triglycerides and serum creatinine were independent risk factors for elevated serum SUMO1 levels.Conclusion·Serum SUMO1 level in patients with T2DM complicated with HTG is significantly higher than that in patients without HTG,and the serum SUMO1 level is an independent risk factor for T2DM complicated with HTG.

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 predictive value of acute physiology and chronic health evaluation II (APACHE II), sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA), quick sequential organ failure assessment (qSOFA) and modified early warning score (MEWS) in evaluating the prognosis of patients in intensive care unit (ICU) of secondary hospitals, and to provide guidance for clinical application. METHODS: The clinical data of adult critical patients admitted to the ICU of Wanzhou District First People's Hospital from October 2022 to April 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the clinical outcome of ICU, the patients were divided into improvement group and death group. The general information, blood routine, heart, liver and kidney function indicators, coagulation indicators, blood gas analysis, APACHE II score, SOFA score, qSOFA score, MEWS score at the time of admission to the ICU, the number of cases of invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) and continuous blood purification (CBP) were compared between the two groups. Univariate analysis was performed, and multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the related factors of death. Receiver operator characteristic curve (ROC curve) was used to analyze the predictive value of the four scores in ICU patients. RESULTS: A total of 126 patients were included, of which 45 patients died in the ICU and 81 patients improved and transferred out. Univariate analysis of death-related critically ill patients showed that procalcitonin (PCT), serum creatinine (SCr), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), albumin (ALB), prothrombin time (PT), activated partial prothrombin time (APTT), D-dimer, pH value, HCO₃^-, blood lactic acid (Lac), number of patients treated with IMV and CBP, APACHE II score, SOFA score, qSOFA score and MEWS score were significantly different between the two groups (all P < 0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that the APACHE II score [odds ratio (OR) = 1.115, 95% confidence interval (95%CI) was 1.025-1.213, P = 0.011], SOFA score (OR = 1.204, 95%CI was 1.037-1.398, P = 0.015), MEWS score (OR = 1.464, 95%CI was 1.102-1.946, P = 0.009), and APTT (OR = 1.081, 95%CI was 1.015-1.152, P = 0.016) were independent risk factors affecting the mortality of critically ill patients in the ICU. ROC curve analysis showed that APACHE II, SOFA, qSOFA, and MEWS scores could predict the prognosis of critically ill ICU patients, among which SOFA score had the strongest predictive effect, and the area under the curve (AUC) was 0.808. There was a statistically significant difference in the time required for the four scores (F = 117.333, P < 0.001), among which the MEWS scoring required the shortest time [(1.03±0.39) minutes], and the APACHE II scoring required the longest time [(2.81±1.04) minutes]. CONCLUSIONS APACHE II, SOFA, qSOFA, and MEWS scores can be used to assess the severity of critically ill patients and predict in-hospital mortality. The SOFA score is superior to other scores in predicting severity. The MEWS is preferred because its assessment time is shortest. Early warning score can help secondary hospitals to detect potentially critical patients early and provide help for clinical rapid urgent emergency decision-making.

Objective: To observe the association between puberty development and thyroid function among school-aged girls in Minhang District of Shanghai, in order to explore the effect of puberty development on thyroid function. Methods: The study was based on a cohort of adolescent girls recruited in iodine-suitable areas of Minhang District, and the baseline and follow-up survey have been carried out from January to March 2019. The method of phased cluster sampling was used to select one junior high school in the east, south, north and middle of Minhang District, Shanghai, respectively. Finally, 464 new junior high school girls were included in the Cohort study for physical examination, and girls were followed up from January to March 2021. The Puberty Development Scale (PDS) was used to assess the stage of puberty. Serum thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), free triiodothyronine (FT3), and free thyroxine (FT4) were determined for each participant. Thyroid homeostasis structure parameters (THSPs) was calculated. Changes of Thyroid hormones at baseline and follow-up were compared by Wilcoxon signed rank sum test. Multiple linear regression analyses were used to evaluate the associations of thyroid hormones (THs) and THSPs changes with pubertal develepment. Results: Serum TSH levels of female studentds decreased significantly, while their FT3 and FT4 levels increased significantly during the study period ( Z=-10.53, -4.71, -12.46, P <0.01). In multiple linear regression analysis after adjustment for co-variables (including baseline age, change of BMI and waist circumference), FT4 and thyroid feedback quantile-based index (TFQI) in the higher puberty category scores changes (△PCS) group were further reduced compared with those in the low △PCS group ( β =-0.66, -0.55 ). Compared to the late puberty at baseline and follow-up (BLFL) group, FT4 and TFQI showed higher decline in the pre-puberty at baseline and late puberty at follow-up (BPFL) group with the pre-puberty at baseline and end of puberty at follow-up (BPFT) group ( β =-0.55, -0.44)( P <0.05). There were no association of △TSH, △FT3, △FT4/FT3 and TSH index changes (△TSHI) with △PCS or the puberty pattern. Conclusion Serum TSH decreases while serum FT3 and FT4 increase among girls during puberty. Both the initial stage and the velocity of pubertal development are related to thyroid hormone fluctuations.
