This report described a case of neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenic purpura presenting with generalized petechiae. The infant was admitted at Nanfang Hospital, Southern Medical University on March 30, 2022, following detection of wide spread petechiae 30 minutes post-delivery. Blood tests revealed severe thrombocytopenia (platelet count 5×10 9/L) with leukopenia, decreased hemoglobin, and hepatomegaly, though coagulation function remained normal. Initial treatments—random donor platelet transfusion, and intravenous immunoglobulin—proved ineffective. Pretreatment blood samples showed strongly positive platelet antibodies (3+). Further typing confirmed human leukocyte antigen (HLA) antibodies in both infant and mother, establishing HLA-negative neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia. HLA-negative platelet transfusion resolved petechiae and normalized platelet counts, enabling discharge on postnatal day 14. Subdural hemorrhage was detected on MRI at day 29. Platelet levels remained normal at six-month follow-up, with age-appropriate development confirmed at 2.5 years.

OBJECTIVE To establish the fingerprint of Gerbera delavayi and the methods for the content determination of 11 components in G. delavayi. METHODS High-performance liquid chromatography（HPLC）was adopted to establish the fingerprints of 13 batches of G. delavayi（No. S1-S13）， and the similarities were evaluated according to Similarity Evaluation System of Chromatographic Fingerprint of TCM （2012 edition）， while the common peaks were identified. Hierarchical clustering analysis （HCA）， principal component analysis （PCA） and orthogonal partial least square-discriminant analysis （OPLS-DA） were carried out by using SPSS 25.0 software and SIMCA 14.1 software. The contents of neochlorogenic acid， chlorogenic acid， cryptochlorogenic acid， 3，8-dihydroxy-4-methoxy-2-oxo-2H-1-benzopyran-5-carboxylic acid， caffeic acid， 3-hydroxy-4-methoxy-2- oxo-2H-1-benzopyran- 5-carboxylic acid， luteolin-7-O-β-D-glucoside， isochlorogenic acid A， apigenin-7-O-β-D-glucoside， isochlorogenic acid C and xanthotoxin were determined by HPLC. RESULTS The similarities in HPLC fingerprint of 13 batches of G. delavayi were 0.801-0.994； a total of 38 common peaks were identified and 13 common peaks were identified. The results of HCA showed that S1-S5 and S7 were clustered into one group， S6 into one category， S8 into one category， S9 and S11 into one category， S10， S12 and S13 into one category， and the results of PCA were consistent with them. The results of OPLS-DA showed that variable importance values for the projection of peak 7 （chlorogenic acid）， peak 21 （isochlorogenic acid A）， peak 26 （xanthotoxin）， peak 19 （isochlorogenic acid B）， peak 33， peak 13， peak 23 （isochlorogenic acid C）， peak 2 （new chlorogenic acid）， peak 17 （luteolin-7-O-β-D- glucoside） were greater than 1. The above 11 components had good linearity in their respective detection concentration ranges （r was greater than 0.999）. RSDs of precision， repeatability， and stability tests were not more than 2% （n＝6）. The average recovery rates were 92.54%-105.55%， and the RSDs were 0.83%-1.93% （n＝6）. The average contents of 11 components were 0.744， 5.014， 0.646， 0.431， 0.069， 0.582， 0.979， 2.754， 0.157， 1.284 and 2.943 mg/g， respectively. CONCLUSIONS The constructed HPLC fingerprint and content determination methods are simple， accurate and stable， which can provide reference for quality control of G. delavayi. Xanthotoxin， chlorogenic acid， isochlorogenic acid A， luteolin-7-O- β -D-glucoside， isochlorogenic acid C and new chlorogenic acid can be used as markers for G. delavayi.

Objective:To analyze the impact of the universal coverage,integration and DRG/DIP payment method reform of Basic Medical Insurance(BMI)on the equity of the health service utilization and resource allocation.Methods:The 1998-2022 panel data on health service utilization and resources were collected for China.Health equity is measured using the Concentration Index(CI)and Theil index,and the impact of BMI reform on health equity is analyzed by BP neural network and ITSA.Results:Universal coverage,integration,and DRG/DIP payment reform of BMI had a positive effect on the number of health workers,beds,and admissions(P＜0.001),and inhibited the growth of per capita hospitalization costs(P＜0.05).The CI for the number of health workers and beds declined by 0.004 and 0.003 per year after universal coverage of BMI;and both still declined by 0.002 per year with a 5-year lag(P＜0.05).The CI for the hospital admissions fell by 0.014 immediately after the DRG/DIP payment reform and by 0.012 per year thereafter(P＜0.001).Conclusion:BMI reforms not only can contribute to improve the health service utilization and resources,but also it can also improve health equity.In addition,it has a lagged effect on improving health equity.

Purpose: Patients with advanced biliary tract cancer (BTC) have a poor survival. We aim to evaluate the efficacy and safety of nab-paclitaxel plus gemcitabine and cisplatin regimen in Chinese advanced BTC patients. Materials and Methods: Eligible patients with locally advanced or metastatic BTC administrated intravenous 100 mg/m2 nab-paclitaxel, 800 mg/m2 gemcitabine, and 25 mg/m2 cisplatin every 3 weeks. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS). The secondary endpoints included overall survival (OS) and adverse events, while exploratory endpoint was the association of biomarkers with efficacy. Results: After the median follow-up of 25.0 months, the median PFS and OS of 34 enrolled patients were 7.1 months (95% confidence interval [CI], 5.4 to 13.7) and 16.4 months (95% CI, 10.9 to 23.6), respectively. The most common treatment-related adverse events at ≥ 3 grade were neutropenia (26.5%) and leukopenia (26.5%). Survival analyses demonstrated that carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) levels could monitor patients’ survival outcomes. A significant increase in the number of infiltrating CD4+ cells (p=0.008) and a decrease in programmed death-1–positive (PD-1+) cells (p=0.032) were observed in the response patients. Conclusion In advanced BTC patients, nab-paclitaxel plus gemcitabine and cisplatin regimen showed therapeutic potential. Potential prognostic factors of CEA levels, number of CD4+ cells and PD-1+ cells may help us maximize the efficacy benefit.

AIM:To study the effect of NEDD8-conjugating enzyme UBE2F on lung adenocarcino-ma metastasis.METHODS:The expression of UBE2F in lung adenocarcinoma was analyzed using TIMER2.0,UALCAN and HPA databases.Kaplan-Mei-er Plotter database was used to analyze the rela-tionship between UBE2F expression and survival rate of lung adenocarcinoma.A UBE2F-knockout lung adenocarcinoma cell line was constructed us-ing CRISPR/Cas9 technology,and a UBE2F-knockout lung adenocarcinoma metastasis model was con-structed in nude mice to verify the effect of UBE2F knockout on lung adenocarcinoma metastasis.The effects of UBE2F knockout on invasion and migra-tion of lung adenocarcinoma cells were examined by cell scratch assay and Transwell invasion and mi-gration assays.The effect of down-regulated UBE2F expression on snail expression,a key marker of epi-thelial-mesenchymal transition(EMT),was detect-ed by Western blot and Real time PCR.RESULTS:Multiple database analysis showed that UBE2F was highly expressed in lung cancer,and Kaplan-Meier Plotter analysis showed that high expression of UBE2F in lung adenocarcinoma had better progno-sis than low expression.In vivo experiments showed that compared with control group,the number of nodules metastasized on the lung sur-face of nude mice after UBE2F knockout was signifi-cantly increased(P<0.05).Cell scratch assay and Transwell assay showed that UBE2F enhanced the migration and invasion ability of lung cancer cells after knockout,and the difference were statistically significant(P<0.05).Western blot and Real time PCR results indicated that the level of EMT tran-scription factor snail protein and mRNA increased after UBE2F knockout.CONCLUSION:In lung ade-nocarcinoma cells,UBE2F down-regulation leads to Snail accumulation and promotes invasion and me-tastasis of lung adenocarcinoma cells.

Objective:To explore the efficacy and safety of whole-brain low-dose radiotherapy(LDRT)combined with PD-1 inhibitor sin-tilimab and intrathecal pemetrexed(IP)for the treatment of refractory non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC)with leptomeningeal metastases(LM).Methods:Retrospective analysies were was performed on eight NSCLC patients with LM at the West China Hospital of Sichuan Uni-versity from December 2022 to May 2024.Among the eight patients,there were four were males and four were females,with a median age of 49 years(rangeing,between 34 to 58 years).All patients were treated with whole-brain LDRT combined with immune checkpoint inhibit-or(ICI)and intrathecal chemotherapy regimens,and the therapeutic efficacy was evaluated according to the Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology(RANO)criteria and the Karnofsky physical status(KPS)score.Adverse reactions were assessed according to the Common Criteria for the Evaluation of Adverse Events(CTCAE version 5.0).Survival analysis was performed using the Kaplan-Meier method.The classification proportion of cerebrospinal fluid subsets before and after treatment was analyzed using by single-cell sequencing,and the differential ana-lysis of gene expression in parallel cells was performed.Results:The best clinical treatment effects in eight patients were were evaluated us-ing the RANO criteria:five patients(62.5%)were evaluated as improved and three(37.5%)as stable.The median KPS score of the eight pa-tients was 30(20-50)before treatment,which was significantly improved to 60(40-90)after treatment(P=0.000 9).The remission rate of neurological symptoms was 100%(8/8)in eight patients.The median neurological progression-free survival(NPFS)was 12 months.The res-ults of single-cell sequencing in CSF of patientss(P1)showed that the proportion of T cells in the patient samples after whole-brain LDRT treatment was significantly higher than that before treatment(6.08%vs.68.87%),and the proportion of tumor cells was significantly lower(12.92%vs.0.6%).The differential analysis of gene expression showed that CCL5 and CXCL13 were significantly upregulated in T cells of CSF after WB-LDRT treatment.Conclusions:The combination of whole-brain LDRT with ICI and IP in the treatment of NSCLC with LM can signific-antly alleviate neurological symptoms,improve quality of life and prolong the NPFS of patients,which is a safe and effective treatment.

Objective:To explore the effect of minimally invasive hematoma puncture and drainage in the treatment of elderly patients with cerebral hemorrhage by using 3D slicer and Sina software to conduct 3D reconstruction and preoperative localization of intracerebral hematoma.Methods:A total of 74 elderly patients with a first-onset intracerebral hematoma aged ≥75 years, having surgical indications and stable vital signs were grouped into 3D slicer plus Sina software localization group(as group A, n=40)or CT localization group(as group B, n=34). Based on the localization, hematoma puncture and drainage were performed after local anesthesia.Preoperative preparation time, hematoma location, puncture success rate, postoperative hematoma clearance rate, postoperative re-bleeding rate and GCS score were statistically analyzed.Glasgow coma scale(GCS)scores were used in predicting the mortality.Results:The preoperative preparation time was significantly shorter in group A than in group B[(5.5±3.4)min vs.(8.5±2.7)min, t=3.337, P=0.001]. The success rate of hematoma puncture and drainage(90.0% and 70.6%, χ2=4.51, P=0.034)and postoperative hematoma clearance rate[(87.5±3.4)% and(80.3±2.7)%, t=10.10, P=0.000]were higher in group A than in group B. There were no significant differences in operative time, the accuracy of hematoma localization, re-bleeding rate and GCS score between the two groups( P>0.05). Conclusions:3D slicer plus Sina software can precisely locate the intracerebral hematoma, and minimally invasive hematoma puncture and drainage of intracerebral hematoma under local anesthesia were safe and effective in the treatment of elderly patients with intracerebral hemorrhage.
