Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an acute or chronic autoimmune disease characterized by the presence of pathogenic autoantibodies and immune complexes, and multiorgan damage. It is a highly heterogeneous disease and commonly developed in women of childbearing age. The cause of systemic immunopathological injury in SLE is due to the production of autoantibodies by overactivated autoreactive B cells. The treatment of SLE by targeting B cells is very effective, suggesting the critical role of B cells in the development and progression of SLE. However, the current B cell depletion therapies all target the total B cell population, which are not capable of clearing specifically autoreactive B cells since the specific marker molecules and the mechanisms associated with the development of SLE remain unclear. With the development of science and technology, high-throughput sequencing technology provides new ideas for the study of B cell abnormalities in SLE. This review focuses on the progress in high-throughput sequencing to reveal new abnormalities in B cell receptors, new B cell subsets and B cell-related novel therapeutic targets, hoping to provide reference for better understanding the pathogenesis and exploring therapeutic strategies.

Objective:To establish and validate the prediction model for bone marrow metastasis (BMM) in malignant tumors by screening out laboratory multiparameters.Methods:This case-control study collected 444 cases of malignant tumor patients who were hospitalized in the First Hospital of Jilin University from March 2018 to March 2024, including 243 cases for model establishment set and 201 cases for model validation set. The model establishment set was divided into BMM positive group (81 cases) and BMM negative group (162 cases), and the model validation set was divided into positive group (67 cases) and a negative group (134 cases). We collected patients′ clinical information such as gender, age, clinical diagnosis, and results of 47 laboratory tests including routine blood analysis, coagulation, liver function, tumor markers, potassium, sodium, chloride, and calcium ion tests, bone marrow morphology, and bone marrow biopsy. BMM was taken as the outcome event, differencial variables were analyzed using inter group comparisons, the correlation among parameters was analyzed using Pearson correlation analysis, the risk factors for BMM were analyzed using multivariate conditional logistic regression analysis, to establish logistic model, followed by efficiency evaluation on BMM predictive model using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves.Results:In the model establishment set, Pearson correlation analysis of 28 parameters that differed between the BMM positive and negative groups revealed that the correlation coefficients of 17 parameters, including mean platelet volume (MPV), hematocrit (HCT), hemoglobin (HGB), and prothrombin time (PT), were no more than 0.6 ( P<0.05). Further multivariate conditional logistic regression analysis demonstrated that MPV, HGB, HCT, PT, red cell distribution width (RDW), platelet count (PLT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), chloride (Cl -), and mean erythrocyte hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) were the risk factors of BMM occurence in malignancy [MPV ( OR=9.929, 95% CI 2.688-71.335), HCT ( OR=8.232, 95% CI 6.223-9.841), HGB ( OR=4.300, 95% CI 1.947-16.577), PT ( OR=3.738, 95% CI 1.359-11.666), RDW ( OR=1.995, 95% CI 1.275-3.807), ALP ( OR=1.025, 95% CI 1.012-1.045), PLT ( OR=1.014, 95% CI 1.002-1.031), MCHC ( OR=0.724, 95% CI 0.523-0.880) and Cl -( OR=0.703, 95% CI 0.472-0.967)]. In the model establishment set, combiation of risk factors provided an AUC of 0.943 (95% CI 0.898-0.987, P<0.001), a sensitivity of 86.3%, and a specificity of 89.2% for BMM prediction. In the model validation set, the AUC was 0.924 (95% CI 0.854-0.960, P<0.001), with a sensitivity and specificity of 86.7% and 83.8%, respectively. Conclusion:This study built and validated a multiple-parameter model for BMM, which may facilitate the timely detection of BMM and provide reference for decision making of bone marrow aspiration.

Purpose To investigate the diagnostic value of postsystolic shortening in ischemia with non-obstructive coronary arteries(INOCA).Materials and Methods A total of 85 INOCA patients admitted to People's Hospital of Liaoning Province from May 2020 to December 2022 were selected and divided into two groups according to the ratio of distal diastolic average blood velocity of left anterior descending branch before and after treatment obtained by thymosidine load echocardiography(coronary flow velocity reserve,CFVR):CFVR<2.0 was in the coronary microvascular dysfunction(CMD)group(n=40),and CFVR≥2.0 was in the control group(n=45).Conventional echocardiographic parameters of all enrolled subjects were measured:left ventricular end-diastolic diameter index(LVEDDI),left ventricular end-diastolic volume index(LVEDVI),left ventricular end-systolic volume index(LVESVI),left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF),early and late mitral valve diastolic blood flow velocity(E,A),E/A,average velocity of mitral valve annulus and interventricular septum in early diastolic(e')and E/e'on the wall and septal side were measured.The global longitudinal strain(GLS)and the post systolic index(PSI)of the left ventricle were measured by two-dimensional speckle tracking automated functional imaging.The differences of echocardiographic parameters,GLS and PSI between CMD group and control group were observed.The relationship between CFVR and PSI in CMD group was analyzed.Results There were no significant differences in LVEDDI,LVEDVI,LVESVI,LVEF,E,A,E/A,e',E/e'and GLS between control group and CMD group(t=-0.577-1.472,P>0.05).There was a statistically significant difference in PSI increase between CMD group and control group(t=-5.370,P<0.05).There was a good correlation between CFVR and PSI in CMD group(r=-0.486,P<0.05).The receiver operator characteristic curve showed that the area under the curve predicted by PSI for CMD was 0.786,the sensitivity was 68.0%,and the specificity was 77.8%.Conclusion PSI has good application value in evaluating left ventricular systolic function in INOCA patients,and can detect left ventricular systolic function injury in such patients at an early stage.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of different administration methods for labor analgesia.Methods:This randomized controlled study was conducted on 152 parturient women who underwent vaginal delivery at the Xinxiang Central Hospital from February to June 2023. These women were divided into a control group and an observation group, with 76 women per group. Women in the control group received 3 mL of 0.1% ropivacaine hydrochloride after routine epidural catheterization, followed by 3 mL of analgesic drugs after 3 minutes. For those without any special reactions, an analgesic pump containing 9 mL of medication was used after 3 minutes until the end of labor. In the observation group, 3 mL of 0.1% ropivacaine hydrochloride was administered as a trial dose before the epidural catheter was inserted into the epidural space. After 3 minutes, the postpartum woman lay flat and was given another 3 mL of analgesic pump medication. After 3 additional minutes, an additional 9 mL of the medication was administered. The analgesic pump was connected and turned on until the catheter was removed after delivery. The epidural catheter failure rate was assessed in each group. Before epidural puncture (T 1), within 30 minutes after the onset of anesthesia (T 2), and at the time of full dilation of the cervix (T 3), Visual Analogue Scale scores, the number of patient attempts to additionally use an analgesia pump, maternal satisfaction, the number of cases requiring cesarean section conversion, the incidence of adverse reactions (such as nausea, vomiting, and fever), and Apgar scores for newborns were recorded in each group. Results:The epidural catheter failure rate in the observation group was 1.3% (1/76), which was significantly lower than 10.5% (8/76) in the control group ( χ2 = 5.79, P < 0.05). At T 2 and T 3, the Visual Analogue Scale score in the observation group was (0.89 ± 0.08) points and (2.1 ± 0.07) points, respectively, which were significantly lower than (2.55 ± 0.07) points and (3.35 ± 0.07) points in the control group ( t = 238.54, 133.17, both P < 0.001). The number of patient attempts to additionally use an analgesia pump in the observation group was (1.00 ± 0.84) counts, which was significantly less than (4.00 ± 0.65) counts in the control group ( t = 29.47, P < 0.001). Maternal satisfaction in the observation group was 100% (76/76), which was significantly higher than 92.1% (70/76) in the control group ( χ2 = 6.25, P < 0.05). The number of cases requiring cesarean section conversion in the observation group was 0 (0/76), which was significantly lower than 52.6% (4/76) in the control group ( χ2 = 4.10, P < 0.05). Conclusion:Administering a trial dose (3 mL) of 0.1% ropivacaine hydrochloride before placing the epidural catheter during labor analgesia can greatly increase the placement success rate of the catheter and enhance pain relief effectiveness. This has a certain clinical application value.

Objective:To evaluate the value of CEA, CYFRA21-1 and CA125 tests in opportunistic screening of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) based on meta-analysis.Methods:The original research literatures on the diagnostic value of CEA, CYFRA21-1 and CA125 in Chinese NSCLC patients were searched from databases of PubMed, Embase, The Cochrane Library, CNKI, VIP, Database and Wanfang database from establishment to June 2023. The literature screening, data extraction and quality evaluation were carried out independently by two researchers. The quality evaluation tool of diagnostic accuracy studies was used to evaluate the quality of the literature. A summary receiver operating characteristic (SROC) curve was used to assess the overall effectiveness of the tests. The outcome stability and publication bias were detected by using sensitivity analysis and Deeks′ test.Results:A total of 23 studies met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that the overall sensitivity of CEA, CYFRA21-1 and CA125 alone in the diagnosis of NSCLC was relatively low, it was 0.49(95% CI: 0.43-0.55), 0.56(95% CI: 0.49-0.63) and 0.41(95% CI: 0.33-0.49), respectively. The overall sensitivity of the combined detection of the three markers for the diagnosis of NSCLC increased to 0.83(95% CI: 0.69-0.91), but the overall specificity decreased to 0.76(95% CI: 0.69-0.83). Conclusions:The single detection of CEA, CYFRA21-1 and CA125 is not recommended for screening NSCLC in population receiving physical examination. Although the sensitivity of the combined detection of CEA, CYFRA21-1 and CA125 for screening NSCLC is improved, but the specificity is decreased, the misdiagnosis rate is increased, so the screening effect is limited.

Objective:To investigate the prevalence and mortality of dementia and assess the impact of geriatric syndromes (GS) on the risk for dementia and death in elderly population in Beijing.Methods:A cross-sectional survey was conducted in the elderly population aged ≥65 years and selected by a multi-stage sampling in Beijing during 2013-2015. Cognitive function was screened using the Chinese Revised Version of the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE). Then, neurological examination and psychiatric assessment were performed for those with the MMSE score lower than the cut-off value. The information about GS prevalence was also collected. The study also collected death records for all individuals from baseline until December 31, 2019. Based on the age and gender distribution from Beijing data of the 2010 Six th National Population Census, the dementia prevalence in the study population was directly standardized. Logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the association of different forms of dementia with GS, and Cox proportional hazards regression model was used to estimate the hazard ratio ( HR) and 95% CI of death. Results:During 2013-2015, a total of 2 935 individuals completed dementia assessments, of which 167 were diagnosed with dementia. The standardized prevalence of dementia was 5.9% (95% CI: 5.0%-17.4%). The individuals with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and vascular dementia (VaD) accounted for 58.7% and 28.1% of total individuals with dementia, respectively. Aging, lower education level, urinary incontinence, and fall were risk factors for AD, while disability of activity of daily life dependence, hypertension, and stroke were found to be risk factors for VaD. After a median follow-up of 5.44 person-years, 399 deaths were recorded. The 5-year mortality risk was 2.87 (95% CI: 1.92-4.17) times and 4.93 (95% CI: 3.23-7.53) times higher for the elderly individuals with AD and VaD, respectively, compared to non-demented individuals. After adjusting for demographic, GS, and cardiovascular risk factors, the mortality risk in the elderly individuals with AD showed no significant difference compared with non-demented individuals ( HR=1.32, 95% CI: 0.89-1.97), while the mortality risk in those with VaD was 2.46 (95% CI: 1.49-4.05) times higher than that in non-demented individuals. Conclusions:The prevalence of dementia in Beijing increased significantly in the context of population aging, especially the prevalence of AD. The presence of GS increased the risks for AD and VaD, as well as the risk for death. Close attention needs to be paid to GS management in dementia prevention in elderly population.

In the context of modern medicine,it's difficult for doctors lacking narrative thinking to get into the hearts of patients and offer high-quality medical service.Precise classification terms and decontextualized abstract language have become communication barriers between doctors and patients,creating an atmosphere of unusual indifference and fear during the medical process.William Osler,the father of modern medicine,emphasized that doctors should respect the individuality of patients,and advocated that doctors should use life-oriented language to provide humanistic care to patients.This echoes the concept of the"doctor-patient narrative community"in the construction of the Chinese narrative medicine system.As a brand new clinical humanistic practice path,narrative medicine focuses on the keyword"narrative"and revolves around the theme of"inter-subjective relationship"in the medical context,advocates that doctors switch flexibly in the two references of science and life,achieve visual fusion with patients and their families,pay attention to patients'life experiences,and establish narrative connections with them.On this basis,it can achieve two-way narrative interaction,build a harmonious doctor-patient narrative community,and thus enhance the patient's medical experience.

Objective To study the relationship between blood microRNA-133b(miR-133b)and solu-ble fms-like tyrosine kinase 1(sFLT1)levels with the prognosis in the patients with endometrial cancer.Methods A total of 122 patients with endometrial cancer visited in the gynecology department of this hospital from January 2015 to January 2016 were prospectively selected as the study subjects,and divided into the sur-vival group(n=58)and death group(n=64)according to the 5-year prognosis of the patients with endome-trial cancer.The miR-133b and sFLT1 levels were compared between the two groups.The COX regression was used to analyze the relationship between miR-133b and sFLT1 with the prognosis of the patients with en-dometrial cancer.Results The levels of miR-133b and sFLT1 in the survival group were higher than those in the death group,and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).The median survival time in the miR-133b low-level group was shorter than that in the miR-133b high level group,and the difference was sta-tistically significant(P＜0.05).The median survival time of the sFLT1 low level group was shoeter than that in the sFLT1 high level group,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).The FIGO stageⅢ-Ⅳ and lymph node metastasis were the independent risk factors for the prognosis of endometrial cancer(P＜0.05),and the pathological G1-G2,high level of miR-133b and sFLT1 were the independent protective factors for the prognosis of endometrial cancer(P＜0.05).Conclusion The miR-133b and sFLTl low levels in the patients with endometrial cancer are associated with the disease progression,and both are the independ-ent risk factors of prognosis.

Objective:To explore the genetic background for a patient with refractory myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative neoplasm (MDS/MPN) with co-morbid neutrophilia patient.Methods:A MDS/MPN patient who was admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University in May 2021 was selected as the study subject. RNA sequencing was carried out to identify fusion genes in his peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Fusion gene sequence was searched through transcriptome-wide analysis with a STAR-fusion procedure. The novel fusion genes were verified by quantitative real-time PCR and Sanger sequencing.Results:The patient, a 67-year-old male, had progressive thrombocytopenia. Based on the morphological and molecular examinations, he was diagnosed as MDS/MPN with co-morbid neutropenia, and was treated with demethylating agents and Bcl-2 inhibitors. Seventeen months after the diagnosis, he had progressed to AML. A novel fusion gene NCOR1: : GLYR1 was identified by RNA-sequencing in his peripheral blood sample, which was verified by quantitative real-time PCR and Sanger sequencing. The patient had attained morphological remission after a DCAG regimen (a combinatory chemotherapy of decitabine, cytarabine, aclarubicin and granulocyte colony-stimulating factors) plus Chidamide treatment. A significant decrease in the NCOR1: : GLYR1 expression was revealed by quantitative real-time PCR at post-chemotherapy evaluation. Conclusion:NCOR1: : GLYR1 gene is considered as the pathogenic factor for the MDS/MPN patient with neutropenia.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of Yiru tiaojing granules on the pharmacokinetics of olanzapine in rats. METHODS SD rats were randomly divided into 4 groups according to single-dose administration and multiple-dose administration， with 6 rats in each group. Groups A and B were given olanzapine （5 mg/kg） or olanzapine （5 mg/kg）+Yiru tiaojing granules （0.972 g/kg） in a single gavage， and groups C and D were administered with the same method once a day for 14 d. Blood was collected from the orbital venous plexus before administration and 5， 15， 30 min and 1， 2， 3， 6， 8， 12， 24 h after the last administration， respectively. The blood concentration was determined by LC-MS， and the pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated by using DAS 2.0 software. RESULTS Compared with group A， group B showed a significant decrease in AUC0－24 h， AUC0－∞ and cmax （P＜0.05）， and a significant prolongation of MRT0－24 h， MRT0－∞ and CLz/F （P＜0.05）； there was no statistically significant difference in the pharmacokinetic parameters between group C and group D （P＞0.05）. CONCLUSIONS A single administration of Yiru tiaojing granules can inhibit the absorption of olanzapine in rats， and long-term administration of Yiru tiaojing granules does not have a significant effect on the pharmacokinetic process of olanzapine.
