Objective: To develop a RHCE genotyping assay based on kompetitive allele-specific PCR (KASP) and assess its clinical accuracy for RhCE blood group determination. Methods: KASP primers were designed to interrogate three RHCE loci: the 109 bp insertion/deletion in intron 2, c. 307T>C, and c. 676C>G. A total of 1 194 RhD-positive inpatients from Chengdu were typed by both KASP genotyping and manual tube serology. Discordant samples (n=10) were retested by both methods and further resolved by Sanger sequencing. An additional 377 cases were tested for the c. 48C>G locus to evaluate the predictive accuracy of individual loci and combined locus testing for RhC antigen. Results: Genotyping concordance with serology was 100.0% for both the c. 676C>G locus (RhE/Rhe) and the c. 307T>C locus (Rhc). For RhC prediction using the 109 bp insertion, overall accuracy was 99.7% (1 191/1 194); the 3 discordant cases were confirmed by Sanger sequencing to be false negatives attributable to 109 bp deletion in intron 2. Testing the c. 48C>G allele for RhC prediction yielded 7 false positives, with an accuracy of 98.1% (370/377). RhC antigen status was determined by combining the 109 bp insertion and the c. 48C allele. After excluding 10 samples with inconsistent results between the two loci, the accuracy reached 100% in the remaining 367 samples. When both loci were applied in combination, accuracy reached 100% in the 367 cases with concordant results. Among the 1 194 patients, CCee (45.8%) and CcEe (31.7%) were the most common RhCE phenotypes. The e antigen had the highest positivity rate (92.2%), and the Ce haplotype was the most frequent (66.9%). Conclusion: The KASP-based RHCE genotyping method achieves high accuracy for clinical RhCE typing. Combining the 109 bp insertion/deletion with the c. 48C allele significantly improves RhC antigen prediction compared with either locus alone. This method was applied to RhCE genotyping of 1 194 RhD-positive inpatients in Chengdu, providing local RhCE phenotype and haplotype distribution data to support RhCE-matched transfusion practice.

ObjectiveTo explore the effect of serum containing Zhenwutang on myocardial mast cell apoptosis induced by angiotensin Ⅱ (AngⅡ) and the mechanism of the correlation between apoptosis and mitochondrial autophagy. MethodsIn this experiment, AngⅡ and serum containing Zhenwutang with different concentrations were used to interfere with H9C2 cardiomyocytes for 24 h, and the survival rate of H9C2 cardiomyocytes was detected by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) to screen the optimal concentration for the experiment. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect the content of B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) in cell culture supernatant, and immunofluorescence was used to detect the cell surface area to verify the construction of the myocardial mast cell model. Subsequently, the experiment was divided into a blank group (20% blank serum), a model group (20% blank serum + 5×10-5 mol·L-1 AngⅡ), low-, medium-, and high-dose (5%, 10% and 20%) serum containing Zhenwutang groups, an autophagy inhibitor group (1×10-4 mol·L-1 3-MA), and autophagy inducer group (1×10-7 mol·L-1 rapamycin). The apoptosis level of H9C2 cells and the changes of mitochondrial membrane potential were detected by flow cytometry. The lysosomal probe (Lyso Tracker) and mitochondrial probe (Mito Tracker) co-localization was employed to detect autophagy. Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR) was used to detect Caspase-3, Caspase-9, B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2), Bcl-2-related X protein (Bax), and cytochrome C (Cyt C) in apoptosis-related pathways and the relative mRNA expression of ubiquitin ligase (Parkin), phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN)-induced kinase 1 (PINK1), and p62 protein in mitochondrial autophagy-related pathways. Western blot was used to detect cleaved Caspase-3, cleaved Caspase-9, Bax, Bcl-2, and Cyt C in apoptosis-related pathways, phosphorylated ubiquitin ligase (p-Parkin), phosphorylated PTEN-induced kinase 1 (p-PINK1), p62, and Bcl-2 homology domain protein Beclin1 in mitochondrial autophagy-related pathways, and the change of microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 (LC3) Ⅱ/Ⅰ ratio. ResultsCCK-8 showed that when the concentration of AngⅡ was 5×10-5 mol·L-1, the cell activity was the lowest, and there was no cytotoxicity. At this concentration, the surface area of cardiomyocytes was significantly increased (P<0.01), and the content of BNP in the supernatant of culture medium was significantly increased (P<0.05). Therefore, AngⅡ with a concentration of 5×10-5 mol·L-1 was selected for the subsequent modeling of myocardial mast cells. Compared with the blank group, the model group and the autophagy inhibitor 3-MA group had a significantly increased apoptosis rate (P<0.01) and significantly decreased mitochondrial membrane potential (P<0.01). The results of immunofluorescence co-localization showed that compared with the blank group, the model group had a significantly decreased number of red and green fluorescence spots. The results of Real-time PCR showed that compared with that in the blank group, the relative mRNA expression of Bax, Caspase-3, Caspase-9, Cyt C, and p62 in the model group was significantly up-regulated (P<0.01), while the relative mRNA expression of Bcl-2, Parkin, and PINK1 was significantly down-regulated (P<0.01). In addition, the relative protein expression of Bax, cleaved Caspase-3, cleaved Caspase-9, Cyt C, and p62 was significantly up-regulated (P<0.01). The LC3Ⅱ/Ⅰ was significantly decreased, and the relative protein expression of Bcl-2, p-Parkin, p-PINK1, and Beclin1 was significantly down-regulated (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the serum containing Zhenwutang groups and the autophagy inducer group had significantly decreased apoptosis rate (P<0.01), and the decrease ratio of mitochondrial membrane potential is significantly lowered (P<0.01) in a dose-dependent manner. Additionally, both red and green fluorescence spots became more in these groups. In the 3-MA group, the number of red and green fluorescence spots decreased significantly. The relative mRNA expression of Bax, Caspase-3, Caspase-9, Cyt C, and p62 was significantly down-regulated (P<0.05, P<0.01), while that of Bcl-2, Parkin, and PINK1 was significantly up-regulated (P<0.01). In the serum containing Zhenwutang groups, the relative protein expression levels of Bax, cleaved Caspase-3, cleaved Caspase-9, Cyt C, and p62 were significantly down-regulated (P<0.05,P<0.01). The LC3Ⅱ/Ⅰ was significantly increased, and the relative protein expression levels of Bcl-2, p-Parkin, p-PINK1, and Beclin1 were significantly up-regulated (P<0.01). ConclusionThe serum containing Zhenwutang can reduce the apoptosis of myocardial mast cells and increase mitochondrial autophagy. This is related to the inhibition of intracellular Bax/Bcl-2/Caspase-3 apoptosis pathway and regulation of Parkin/PINK1 mitochondrial autophagy pathway.

Osteoporosis is a common senile bone metabolism disease, clinically characterized by decreased bone mass, destruction of bone microstructure, increased bone fragility, and easy fracture. It tends to occur in the elderly and postmenopausal women, seriously threatening the quality of life and physical and mental health of the elderly. At present, the treatment of osteoporosis is mainly based on oral western medicines, such as calcium, Vitamin D, and bisphosphonates. Still, there are drawbacks such as a long medication cycle and many adverse reactions. In recent years, due to the advantages of multi-component, multi-pathway, and multi-target, some traditional Chinese medicines and effective ingredients can regulate the osteogenic and osteoclastic differentiation process in both directions and are widely used in the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis. Hippophae rhamnoides is a commonly used herbal medicine, and its fruits are rich in flavonoids, polyphenols, fatty acids, vitamins, and trace elements, which have been proven to have a good anti-osteoporosis effect. Isorhamnetin is the main effective ingredient of Hippophae rhamnoides fruits, which has many pharmacological effects such as anti-inflammation, anti-oxidative stress, anti-aging, and anti-tumor. Studies have shown that isorhamnetin can participate in the regulation of bone metabolism and has a good anti-osteoporosis effect. However, the pharmacological effects and related mechanisms of isorhamnetin against osteoporosis have not been systematically summarized. Therefore, this paper reviewed the pharmacological effects and related mechanisms of isorhamnetin against osteoporosis by referring to relevant literature to provide more basis for the development and application of isorhamnetin.

Objective:To explore the application value of problem-based learning (PBL) combined with mini-clinical evaluation exercise (Mini-CEX) in the development of post competency for interns in the Department of Neurology.Methods:A total of 56 interns rotating at the Department of Neurology of The First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from June 2023 to January 2024 were enrolled as the study subjects. They were randomly divided into a control group and an experiment group using the random number table method, with 28 interns in each group. The control group received traditional methods including small lectures and teaching rounds, while the experimental group received the PBL teaching method combined with Mini-CEX. The teaching effectiveness was evaluated through theoretical assessments, practical skill evaluations, teacher and student satisfaction surveys, and Mini-CEX scale assessments conducted at the beginning, middle, and end of the rotation for the experimental group. The data were analyzed using SPSS 23.0 software. For continuous data, the independent-samples t test or Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison between groups. The chi-square test was used for categorical data and the Kruskal-Wallis H test for repeated-measurement data. Results:The theoretical scores [(45.36±2.67) vs. (42.00±4.29), P<0.01] and practical skill scores [(45.11±2.53) vs. (42.39±4.53), P<0.01] were significantly higher in the experimental group compared to the control group. The Mini-CEX score of the experimental group at the end of the rotation was notably higher than that at the beginning of rotation ( P<0.05), and their abilities improved continuously. The satisfaction rates of teachers and students in the experimental group were 71.43% (20/28) and 67.86% (19/28), respectively, which were significantly higher than those in the control group [39.29% (11/28) and 35.71% (10/28), P<0.05]. Conclusions:The teaching model integrating PBL and Mini-CEX can effectively enhance the post competency of interns in the Department of Neurology, thus offering a new perspective for clinical undergraduate teaching.

Objective:To explore the effect of preoperative gamma-glutamyl transferase to albumin ratio (GAR) on prognosis of patients with Barcelona clinic liver cancer (BCLC)stage 0-A hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after microwave ablation (MWA).Methods:The clinical data of 201 patients with BCLC stage 0 to A who underwent MWA at two centers of Jiaxing Second Hospital and Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University from January 2011 to December 2018 were retrospectively analyzed, including 152 males and 49 females, aged (57.5±9.6) years. X-tile software was used to divide patients into a low GAR group ( n=84, GAR<0.9) and a high GAR group ( n=117, GAR≥0.9). Kaplan-Meier method was used for survival analysis, and log-rank test was used for survival comparison. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis was used to evaluate the relationship between GAR and prognosis. Results:The cumulative survival rates at 1, 3 and 5 years postoperatively were 98.7%, 93.8%, 78.5% for the low GAR group, which were superior to that 97.2%, 87.1%, 70.2% for the high GAR group, and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=11.89, P=0.001). The recurrence-free survival rates at 1, 3 and 5 years after surgery between the two groups was no significant difference ( χ2=1.70, P=0.192). Multivariate analysis revealed that high GAR ( HR=2.723, 95% CI: 1.508-4.914, P=0.001) was independent risk factors for overall survival after MWA in patients with BCLC stages 0 to A HCC. Male gender ( HR=1.959, 95% CI: 1.127-3.305, P=0.017) and tumor diameter ≥2 cm ( HR=1.547, 95% CI: 1.008-2.373, P=0.046) were independent risk factors for recurrence after MWA in patients with BCLC stages 0 to A HCC. Univariate analysis, GAR≥0.9 was not associated with postoperative recurrence ( HR=1.315, 95% CI: 0.869-1.989, P=0.195). Conclusion:Preoperative GAR (≥0.9) is an independent risk factor affecting overall survival in patients with BCLC stages 0 to A HCC after MWA.
