Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of the CLAE (cladribine + cytarabine + etoposide) regimen in refractory/relapsed T cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma (R/R T-ALL/LBL) .Methods:Patients with R/R T-ALL/LBL received the CLAE regimen in a prospective, multicenter, single-arm clinical study or compassionate use. From March 2019 to August 2024, data from 25 patients (18 in the study across five centers and 7 receiving compassionate treatment in Peking University Third Hospital) were collected. Outcomes included objective response rate, complete response (CR) rate, partial response (PR) rate after 1–2 cycles, bridging to allo-HSCT, progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and treatment-related adverse effects.Results:Median age was 29 years (range, 13–63) ; 17 were male. Among the 24 evaluable patients, CR rate was 33.3% overall and 41.2% among enrolled patients. Median OS and PFS time were 199 (46–1 310) and 49 (28–1 310) days, respectively. Cumulative OS rate at 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years was (52.1±10.2) %, (29.7±9.3) %, and (27.1±9.1) %, respectively; cumulative PFS rate was (32.6±9.6) %, (24.9±8.9) %, and (23.8±8.7) %, respectively. Among patients achieving CR or PR (8 cases), median OS and PFS were not reached. Cumulative OS rate at 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years was (86.8±12.0) %, (78.3±14.6) %, and (72.9±15.7) %, respectively, and the cumulative PFS rate was (86.4±12.1) %, (74.8±15.3) %, and (72.9±15.7) %, respectively. Adverse events were mainly hematologic; no treatment-related mortality occurred. Seven patients achieving CR were bridged to allo-HSCT, with 5 remaining in continuous remission.Conclusion:The CLAE regimen is safe and effective for R/R T-ALL/LBL, facilitating CR as a bridge to allo-HSCT and potentially improving patient prognosis.

Objective:To develop an ultrasound multi-view fusion recognition model and evaluate its clinical value in diagnosing fetal conotruncal defects (CTD).Methods:This prospective study collected cardiac ultrasound images from fetuses at 20-32 weeks of gestation undergoing prenatal ultrasound at Dongguan Maternal and Child Health Hospital between September 2022 and May 2024. The case group comprised fetuses diagnosed with CTD, while controls with normal cardiac structures were collected at a 1∶2 ratio. Both groups were divided into modeling training and validation sets at a 3∶1 ratio. One optimal standard image each from the four-chamber view, left ventricular outflow tract view, right ventricular outflow tract view, and three vessels and trachea view was included per fetus. A deep learning-based multi-view fusion recognition model was developed to differentiate normal conotruncal anatomy from CTD. Model performance was validated against post-abortion pathology or postnatal echocardiography results. SAS software was used for statistical analysis to calculate the sensitivity and specificity of three fusion models (based on positivity in any two, three, or four views, and were designated as Fusion Model 1, Fusion Model 2, and Fusion Model 3, respectively), with the optimal model determined by the maximum Youden index. Senior, intermediate, and junior prenatal sonologists independently diagnosed cases in the validation set under blinding conditions. Their diagnostic results were compared with those of the optimal model. Paired Chi-square test (Cochran's Q test) was employed to compare the differences between the diagnostic accuracy rates of sonologists at different experience levels and the sensitivity of the optimal model, thereby analyzing the auxiliary diagnostic value of the multi-view fusion recognition model. Results:The study included 88 CTD cases, excluding six cases (non-CTD diagnosed by post-abortion pathology or postnatal echocardiography or poor image quality), divided into 60 training and 22 validation cases (12 tetralogy of Fallot, four double outlet right ventricle, three transposition of great arteries, three persistent truncus arteriosus). The control group included 176 cases, excluding 15 cases (other cardiac abnormalities confirmed postnatally or poor image quality after re-evaluation), divided into 120 training and 41 validation cases. The sensitivities of Fusion Model 1, Fusion Model 2, and Fusion Mudel 3 were 0.86, 0.64, and 0.27, while their specificities were 0.76, 0.95, and 1.00, respectively. Fusion Model 1 demonstrated the highest Youden index (0.62) and was selected as optimal. Its diagnostic sensitivity showed no significant difference from senior sonologists [86% vs. 91% (20/22), Bonferroni-corrected P>0.999], but was significantly higher than intermediate [55% (12/22), Bonferroni-corrected P=0.049] and junior sonologists [32% (7/22), Bonferroni-corrected P=0.003]. Conclusion:The deep learning multi-view fusion model achieved diagnostic performance comparable to senior sonologists, demonstrating potential value in assisting CTD diagnosis, training less experienced sonologists, and supporting research and education.

Objective:To investigate the effect of tolerogenic dendritic cells(tolDC)on autophagy of synovial cells in collagen-induced arthritis(CIA)rats.Methods:Bone marrow mononuclear cells of rats were extracted and induced into tolDC using IL-4,GM-CSF and NF-κB oligonucleotide decoy,and loaded with BⅡC to become BⅡC-tolDC.SD rats were randomly divided into normal control group,CIA model group and BⅡC-tolDC intervention group,with 3 rats in each group.Normal female SD rats were immunized with bovine type Ⅱ collagen solution to construct CIA model.Rats in BⅡC-tolDC intervention group were infused with BⅡC-tolDC via tail vein on the 21st day after initial immunization for two weeks,arthritis indexes were recorded weekly.On the 35th day,the rats were sacrificed,and synovial histopathology of ankle joint of rats in each group were observed by HE staining;the number of osteo-clasts in cartilage of rats in each group were observed by TRAP staining.The number of autophagic of ankle synovial cells of rats in each group were observed by transmission electron microscopy.Levels of serum TNF-α and IL-1β of rats in each group were detected by ELISA.LC3,Beclin-1 and ATG5 proteins of synovial cells of ankle joints of rats in each group were detected by Immunohistochemical staining.Results:CIA rats were constructed successfully by immunization with bovine type Ⅱ collagen.BⅡC-tolDC intervention re-duced the arthritis index of CIA rats,inhibited synovial inflammation and abnormal proliferation of synovial tissue,improved joint bone and cartilage injury,and reduced the number of osteoclasts in cartilage tissue and the number of autophagosomes in synovial cells.At the same time,reduced levels of serum TNF-α,IL-1β,and protein expressions of LC3,Beclin-1 and ATG5 of synovial cell of CIA rats.Conclusion:BⅡC-tolDC may alleviate arthritis lesions of CIA rats by inhibiting synovial cell autophagy of CIA rats.

Objective:To study the role of cadherin 1 (CDH1) gene DNA methylation in autoimmune thyroiditis (AIT) in population from different water-iodine regions.Methods:From May to June 2019, the information of AIT cases and healthy individuals in Shandong Province were collected in three types of water-iodine regions: iodine-fortification (IF) region, iodine-adequate (IA) region and iodine-excess (IE) region. A case-control study design was applied to match 176 AIT cases (case group) with age, gender, body mass index, and place of residence in a 1 ∶ 1 ratio to 176 healthy individuals (control group). Fasting urine and whole blood samples were collected to test the contents of urinary iodine, thyroid function indicators [serum free triiodothyronine (FT 3), free thyroxine (FT 4), thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH)], and serum iodine. The DNA methylation levels of the target region of the CDH1 gene and its four CpG sites in whole blood were determined using methylation sequencing technology for target regions (MethylTarget TM). Results:The DNA methylation level of the target region of CDH1 gene in the case group was 0.832 ± 0.044, and that in the control group was 0.828 ± 0.049, there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups ( t = 0.76, P = 0.448). There was no statistically significant difference in DNA methylation levels of the four CpG sites in the target region of CDH1 gene between the case group and the control group ( P > 0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the DNA methylation level of the CDH1 gene target region between the case group and the control group in IF, IA and IE regions ( P > 0.05). The detection results of DNA methylation levels at CpG sites in the target region of CDH1 gene in different water iodine regions showed that the DNA methylation level at site 83 in case group in IF region was higher than that in the control group ( t = 2.30, P = 0.023). However, there was no statistically significant difference in the DNA methylation levels of the four CpG sites between the case group and the control group in IA and IE regions ( P > 0.05). The DNA methylation level of CDH1 gene target region in AIT patients was not significantly correlated with urinary iodine, serum iodine, and serum FT 3, FT 4, and TSH contents ( P > 0.05), but was significantly negatively correlated with age ( r =-0.19, P = 0.014). Conclusions:The DNA methylation level at CpG site 83 of CDH1 gene in AIT patients in IF region is significantly higher than that in control population, indicating that DNA methylation at this locus may be involved in the occurrence and development of AIT after iodine fortification. The DNA methylation level of CDH1 gene is negatively correlated with age.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the use of drugs and the development of pharmaceutical care in the tight medical alliance (shorted for "medical alliance") of Wanzhou District of Chongqing,and provide reference for the further construction of the medical alliance.METHODS A survey form was designed and distributed to 21 constituent units (5 leading units and 16 member units) of 5 medical alliances in Wanzhou District of Chongqing.The statistical analysis was conducted in aspects of basic drug allocation and use,pharmaceutical personnel team construction,the development of pharmaceutical care,and rational use of antibiotics.RESULTS Among the 21 constituent units,4 leading units and 14 member units achieved the target for the proportion of essential drug procurement varieties,with a total compliance rate of 85.71％;4 leading units and 13 member units achieved the target for the proportion of national essential drug allocation and usage amount,with a total compliance rate of 80.95％.The proportions of personnel with doctoral degrees in the 5 leading units and 16 member units were 1.71％ and 0 respectively,and the proportions of personnel with senior professional titles were 8.56％ and 1.63％,respectively.A total of 5 pharmacy or pharmaceutical combined outpatient clinics were set up in the 21 medical alliance units,and 5 clinical pharmacy information service platforms were established;all 5 leading units were able to regularly carry out clinical pharmacy projects,while only 4 out of 16 member units had conducted medical order review and evaluation.The proportions of irrational use of antibiotics in outpatient prescriptions and inpatient medical records of the 16 member units (4.81％,5.21％) were significantly higher than those of the 5 leading units (2.80％,4.00％).CONCLUSIONS The allocation and usage of national essential drugs in 21 constituent units from Wanzhou District of Chongqing are both in good standing.However,the data on the allocation of pharmaceutical professionals and the number,qualifications,and job titles of clinical pharmacists in member units are generally low.Moreover,the pharmaceutical service projects and service quality in member units need to be further improved.

OBJECTIVE To establish HPLC characteristic chro matogram of Jianpi yifei biyan prescription standard decoction ， to select the quality control index components and determine their contents. METHODS HPLC method combined with Similarity Evaluation System of TCM Chromatographic Fingerprint （2004 edition）were used to establish the characteristic chromatogram of 10 batches of Jianpi yifei biyan prescription standard decoction ；the similarity evaluation and common peaks identification were also carried out. Using common peak area of characteristic chromatogram as variables ，SPSS 26.0 software and SIMCA 14.1 software were used to perfor m cluster analysis （CA），principal component analysis （PCA） and orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis （OPLS-DA）；differential components with variable important i n pro jection（VIP）value greater than 1.5 were screened；the contents of cimifugin and differential components were determined by the same method. RESULTS A total of 24 common characteristic peaks were identified ， and the similarities of 10 batches of samples were higher than 0.960；eight characteristic peaks were identified by comparison with reference substance. CA and PCA results revealed that the samples were classified into 3 categories.OPLS-DA analysis showed that 3 components with VIP value greater than 1.5， which were prim-O-glucosylcimifugin （peak 2），calycosin 7-O-β-D-glucopyranoside （peak 4） and 5-O-methylvisammioside （peak 6） in descending order. The linear ranges of prim- O- glucosylcimifugin，calycosin 7-O-β-D-glucopyranoside，cimifugin and 5-O-methylvisammioside were 0.010 7-0.213 0，0.007 8- 0.156 0，0.008 0-0.160 0，0.009 8-0.195 0 μg（r＞0.999），respectively. RSD values of precision ，repeatability and stability tests （24 h） were all less than 2％. Average recoveries were 105.98％（RSD＝1.75％，n＝6），98.06％（RSD＝3.87％，n＝6），96.38％（RSD＝ 4.03％ ，n＝6） and 104.17％（RSD＝1.27％ ，n＝6）. The contents of the above 4 components in 10 batches of samples were 12.12-18.87，3.86-6.40，3.10-4.27 and 11.17-15.79 μ g/mL，respectively. CONCLUSIONS The established HPLC characteristic chromatographic method is stable and feasible ，it can be used for the quality control of Jianpi yifei biyan prescription standard decoction. Prim- O-glucosylcimifugin，calycosin 7-O-β-D-glucopyranoside，cimifugin and 5-O-methylvisammioside can be used as the index components for quality control of the standard decoction.
