ObjectiveTo investigate the change in the activity of hepatitis B virus (HBV)-specific CD8+ T cells after pegylated interferon-α-2b (PEG-IFN-α-2b) therapy in HBeAg-negative patients with chronic HBV infection. MethodsA total of 53 HBeAg-negative patients with chronic HBV infection who attended The First Affiliated Hospital of Xinxiang Medical University and Tangdu Hospital of Air Force Mdical University from April 2020 to June 2022 were enrolled and treated with PEG-IFN-α-2b (180 μg/week, subcutaneous injection) antiviral therapy. The study endpoint was HBsAg clearance (course of treatment<48 weeks) or 48 weeks (course of treatment≥48 weeks). Peripheral blood mononuclear cells were isolated at baseline and study endpoint, and peripheral blood T cell counts were measured. Enzyme-linked immunospot assay was used to measure the frequency of HBV-specific CD8+ T cells secreting perforin, granzyme B, and interferon-γ. A total of 17 HLA-A*02-restricted patients were selected, and CD8+ T cells were purified to establish direct- and indirect-contact co-culture systems for HBV-specific CD8+ T cells and HepG2.2.15 cells. The level of lactate dehydrogenase in supernatant was measured to calculate the mortality rate of HepG2.2.15 cells, and the levels of HBV DNA, cytotoxic molecules, and cytokines in supernatant were also measured. Flow cytometry was used to measure the expression of apoptosis ligands, and the cytotoxicity of HBV-specific CD8+ T cells was evaluated. The independent samples t-test or the paired t-test was used for comparison of normally distributed continuous data between two groups, and the Mann-Whitney U test or the Wilcoxon rank-sum test was used for comparison of non-normally distributed continuous data between two groups. ResultsThe HBsAg clearance rate at study endpoint was 30.19% (16/53). There were no significant differences in peripheral blood T cell counts (CD3+, CD4+, and CD8+ T cells) between baseline and study endpoint (P>0.05). At study endpoint, there was a significant increase in the frequency of HBV-specific CD8+ T cells secreting perforin, granzyme B, and interferon-γ (U=177.50, t=11.90, U=186.50, all P<0.001), and the patients with HBsAg clearance had a significantly higher frequency of such HBV-specific CD8+ T cells than those without HBsAg clearance (U=120.50, t=2.73, U=121.50, all P<0.01). In the direct- and indirect-contact co-culture systems at study endpoint, HBV-specific CD8+ T cells induced a significant reduction in HBV DNA in the supernatant of HepG2.2.15 cells (all P<0.001) and significant increases in the secretion of interferon-γ and tumor necrosis factor-α (all P<0.05); in the direct-contact co-culture system, HBV-specific CD8+ T cells induced significant increases in the mortality rate of HepG2.2.15 cells (13.62%±3.27% vs 11.39%±2.40%, t=2.27, P=0.030) and the secretion of perforin and granzyme B (t=72.50, U=52.50, both P<0.05). In the direct- and indirect-contact co-culture systems, compared with HBV-specific CD8+ T cells from the patients without HBsAg clearance, the HBV-specific CD8+ T cells from patients with HBsAg clearance had a significantly greater reduction in HBV DNA (P<0.05) and significant increases in the secretion of interferon-γ and tumor necrosis factor-α (P<0.05). ConclusionPEG-IFN-α-2b therapy can help to achieve a relatively high HBsAg clearance rate in HBeAg-negative patients with chronic HBV infection, and the activity of HBV-specific CD8+ T cells is significantly enhanced, which is closely associated with HBsAg clearance.

OBJECTIVE:
To explore the application effect of self-developed anatomical main nail insertion guide in proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA) internal fixation for the treatment of intertrochanteric fractures (IFF) in elderly patients.
METHODS:
A retrospective analysis was performed on 62 patients with AO31-A2 intertrochanteric fractures who underwent PFNA surgery and met the inclusion criteria from January 2022 to December 2024. They were divided into the conventional PFNA insertion group (conventional operation group) and the anatomical main nail insertion guide-assisted PFNA insertion group(guide group). The conventional operation group (PFNA) included 31 patients, 14 males and 17 females, the age ranged from 64 to 90 with an average of (75.2±11.6) years old;the guide group (PFNA) included 31 patients, 10 males and 21 females, the age ranged fron 67 to 97 with an average of (78.6±13.4) years old. The incision length of the main nail entry, the number of fluoroscopies from satisfactory reduction to before main nail insertion, operation time, intraoperative blood loss, 3-day postoperative VAS score, postoperative hip function Harris score, complications, etc. were observed and compared between the two groups.
RESULTS:
All patients were followed up for a period ranging from 4 to 12 months, with an average follow-up duration of (6.8±1.6) months. Compared with the guide group, the conventional operation group showed significant differences in the following parameters:the entrance length of the main screw was (6.74±3.77) cm vs. (5.13±1.31) cm, the number of fluoroscopies before the insertion of the main screw was (10.32±3.08) times vs. (7.71±2.41) times, the operation time was (150.45±53.47) minutes vs. (127.48±30.37) minutes, and the intraoperative blood loss was (196.77±121.06) ml vs. (140.97±86.00) ml, with P<0.05 indicating statistical significance.There was no statistically significant difference in 3-day postoperative VAS between the two groups (P>0.05). There was a statistically significant difference in the Harris scores between the conventional operation group and the guided operation group one month post-surgery (60.61±6.60) vs. (65.48±5.19) points (P<0.05). and there was no statistically significant difference in hip Harris scores between the two groups at 3 months after operation (P>0.05). During the 3-month follow-up after operation, neither group had incision infection, screw loosening, cutting, pressure sores, deep vein thrombosis, etc., and there was no statistically significant difference in the complication rate between the two groups.
CONCLUSION
It is quickly and accurately to implant PFNA assisted by the anatomical major nail implant guide in treatment of osteoporotic intertrochanteric fracture in the elderly.Compared with the traditional operation, it can shorten the operation time and reduce the surgical and X-ray trauma, and beneficial to the rapid rehabilitation of patients.

OBJECTIVE:
To study the clinical effects of pomalidomide-based regimen in the treatment of relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM).
METHODS:
60 patients with RRMM in hematology department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinxiang Medical University from November 2020 to January 2023 were selected. Among them, 15 cases were treated with PDD regimen (pomalidomide + daratumumab + dexamethasone), and 45 cases were treated with PCD regimen (pomalidomide + cyclophosphamide + dexamethasone). The clinical effects were evaluated.
RESULTS:
The median number of treatment cycles for the entire cohort was 5 (2-11), with an overall response rate (ORR) of 75.0%. The ORR of patients treated with PDD regimen was 73.3%, while the ORR of patients treated with PCD regimen was 75.6%. The ORR of 46 patients with non high-risk cytogenetic abnormalities (non-HRCA) was 86.9%, significantly higher than the 35.7% of 14 patients with HRCA (χ2 =15.031, P < 0.05). The median PFS for all patients was 8.0(95%CI : 6.8-9.1) months and the median OS was 14.0 (95%CI : 11.3-16.7) months. Among patients treated with PDD regimen, the PFS and OS of patients with non-HRCA were significantly higher than those of patients with HRCA [PFS: 7.0(95%CI : 4.6-9.3) months vs 4.0(95%CI : 3.1-4.8) months, χ2 =5.120, P < 0.05; OS: not reached vs 6.0(95%CI : 1.1-10.9) months, χ2 =9.870, P < 0.05]. Among patients treated with PCD regimen, the PFS and OS of patients with non-HRCA were significantly higher than those of patients with HRCA [PFS: 9.0(95%CI : 6.2-11.8) months vs 6.0(95%CI : 5.4-6.6) months, χ2=14.396, P < 0.05; OS: not reached vs 11.0(95%CI : 6.4-15.6) months, χ2 =7.471, P < 0.05].
CONCLUSION
The pomalidomide-based regimen has a good clinical effect and safety in the treatment of RRMM.

OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the effect of daratumumab, lenalidomide and dexamethasone on quality of life in transplant-ineligible (TIE) patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM).
METHODS:
The clinical data of 93 TIE NDMM patients in our hospital from January 2020 to December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into D-Rd group (48 cases) and Rd group (45 cases) according to treatment regimen. The patients in Rd group were treated with lenalidomide and dexamethasone, while those in D-Rd group were treated with daratumumab on the basis of Rd group. The QLQ-C30 and EQ-5D VAS scores of the two groups were compared at baseline and after 3, 6 and 12 treatment cycles. The last follow-up date was June 30, 2023, and overall survival (OS) was compared between the two groups.
RESULTS:
The median follow-up period in the D-Rd group was 21 (7-38) months, and the median OS was 34 months, while that in the Rd group was 16 (5-35) months, and the median OS was 28 months. There was significant difference in OS between the two groups ( P <0.05). After 3, 6 and 12 treatment cycles, the QLQ-C30 score and EQ-5D VAS score of the two groups were significantly improved (all P <0.05). After 3 and 12 treatment cycles, the QLQ-C30 score and EQ-5D VAS score of D-Rd group were significantly higher than those of Rd group (all P <0.05). There were no significant differences in the improvement of QLQ-C30 GHS and pain scores between the two groups of patients with age <75 years and ECOG 0-1 score after 3, 6 and 12 treatment cycles (P >0.05). In D-Rd group of patients with age≥75 years, the improvement of QLQ-C30 GHS scores after 3 and 12 treatment cycles and QLQ-C30 pain scores after 3, 6 and 12 treatment cycles was significantly superior to that in Rd group (all P <0.05). In D-Rd group of patients with ECOG 2 scores, the improvement of QLQ-C30 GHS and pain scores after 3, 6 and 12 treatment cycles was significantly superior to that in Rd group (all P <0.05).
CONCLUSION
Daratumumab, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone can significantly improve OS in TIE NDMM patients without decrease of quality of life, especially in those with age≥75 years or ECOG 2 scores.

OBJECTIVE:
To analyze clinical characteristics and prognosis of B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) patients with IKZF1 deletion.
METHODS:
72 patients with B-ALL admitted to our hospital from April 2020 to January 2023 were selected, IKZF1 deletion were detected, and clinical characteristics and prognosis were analyzed.
RESULTS:
Among the 72 patients, a total of 32 patients (44.4%) were identified with IKZF1 deletions (IKZF1 + ). There was no statistically significant difference in basic clinical data between patients with normal IKZF1 (IKZF1 -) and those with IKZF1 + (P >0.05). The proportion of patients with IKZF1 + in Ph+ group was significantly higher than that in Ph- group (P < 0.05). The main types of IKZF1 + were exon 1-8 deletion (34.4%) and exon 4-7 deletion (31.2%). The median OS and PFS of IKZF1 - patients were significantly longer than those of IKZF1 + patients (OS: 26.0 months vs 16.0 months, χ 2=23.094, P < 0.05; PFS: 26.0 months vs 16.0 months, χ 2=11.150, P < 0.05). Among IKZF1 + patients, the median OS of patients who received allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) was significantly longer than that of patients who did not receive allo-HSCT (no reached vs 15.0 months, χ 2=5.685, P < 0.05).
CONCLUSION
IKZF1 deletion is a risk factor affecting the prognosis of B-ALL patients.

OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the predictive value of circulating free DNA (cfDNA) combined with interleukin 10 (IL-10) in predicting central nervous system infiltration (CNSI) in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL).
METHODS:
The clinical data of 63 patients with DLBCL in our hospital from May 2021 to April 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. The 63 patients were divided into CNSI group (15 cases) and non-CNSI group (48 cases) base on whether CNSI occurred. The age, sex, Ann Arbor stage, ECOG score, IPI risk, CNS-IPI risk, number of extranodal sites involved, bone marrow involvement, hypertrophic disease, B symptoms, source cells, glucose quantification, Pandy test, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) chlorine, CSF nucleated cell count, CSF protein, peripheral blood cfDNA, and IL-10 status were compared between the two groups. The correlation between cfDNA, IL-10 in peripheral blood and CSF protein was analyzed by Pearson correlation analysis. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to analyze the predictive value of peripheral blood cfDNA and IL-10 on secondary CNSI in DLBCL patients. The last follow-up was on November 30, 2023. Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate the time of secondary CNSI in the non-CNSI group.
RESULTS:
The IPI risk, CNS-IPI risk, number of extranodal sites involved, and CSF protein in the CNSI group were significantly higher than those in the non-CNSI group (all P <0.05). The levels of cfDNA and IL-10 in peripheral blood of CNSI group were significantly higher than those of non-CNSI group (both P <0.01). cfDNA and IL-10 in peripheral blood were both positively correlated with CSF protein (r =0.402 4, 0.315 1). ROC curve analysis showed that peripheral blood cfDNA and IL-10 had certain predictive value for CNSI, and the area under the curve (AUC) was 0.829 and 0.742, respectively. The AUC of the combined detection was 0.910, with a sensitivity of 80.00% and a specificity of 93.70%. The diagnostic efficacy was significantly higher than that of the two prediction values alone. The median follow-up time was 20 (6-31) months. Non-CNSI patients were grouped based on peripheral blood cfDNA combined with IL-10 positive or negative pairs. The time of secondary CNSI in positive group was significantly shorter than that in negative group (P <0.05).
CONCLUSION
cfDNA and IL-10 in peripheral blood of DLBCL patients with CNSI are significantly increased, and the combined detection of cfDNA and IL-10 has good predictive value for CNSI.

AIM: To analyze the current status and influencing factors for insufficient hyperopia reserve in preschool children from Changzhi City, Shanxi Province, and to provide reference and basis for myopia prevention and control in this district.METHODS: A stratified cluster random sampling strategy was used to select 2 854 preschool children(5 708 eyes)from 29 child-care centers in Changzhi City between January and May 2024. Hyperopia reserve was assessed through measurements and questionnaire surveys. Totally 2 820 cases(5 640 eyes)were finally included, with 34 cases excluded(32 cases of uncooperativeness and 2 cases of distractibility). The univariate analysis and multivariate Logistic regression were performed to analyze the associated influencing factors of insufficient hyperopia reserve.RESULTS: A total of 580 preschool children with insufficient hyperopia reserve were detected, with an incidence of 20.57%. Logistic regression analysis revealed that male(OR=1.723, 95% CI: 1.419-2.093), maternal myopia(OR=2.210, 95% CI: 1.681-2.906), paternal myopia(OR=1.426, 95% CI: 1.059-1.921), myopia in both parents(OR=2.761, 95% CI: 2.110-3.612), preterm infants(OR=1.740, 95% CI: 1.294-2.342), the mean daily sleep duration <10 h(OR=1.272, 95% CI: 1.024-1.579), and the mean daily outdoor activity time <2 h(OR=1.222, 95% CI: 1.005-1.485)were risk factors for insufficient hyperopia reserve(all P<0.05). Conversely, using blackout curtains during the day and turning off lights at night(OR=0.598, 95% CI: 0.405-0.883)were identified to be protective factors(P<0.05).CONCLUSION: Sex, genetics, gestational age, sleep duration and environmental conditions, and outdoor activity time are potentially associated with insufficient hyperopia reserve in preschool children. Caregivers should prioritize the management of these risk factors to prevent the occurrence of myopia.

Objective: To explore the changes of mechanosensitive channels Piezos (Piezo 1 and Piezo 2) in neurogenic bladder (NB) of young rats and their effects,so as to provide reference for clinical search of new therapeutic targets. Methods: A total of 30 female young SD rats were divided into 5 groups based on random number table method:sham operation group (sham),2-week nerve transection group (NB-2W),6-week nerve transection group (NB-6W),2-week nerve transection + Piezos inhibitor group (NB-P-2W) and 6-week nerve transection + Piezos inhibitor group (NB-P-6W),with 6 rats in each group.The NB models were constructed by transecting the L6 and S1 spinal nerves of young rats.The NB-2W and NB-6W groups were not intervened after modeling,while the NB-P-2W and NB-P-6W groups were intraperitoneally injected with Piezos inhibitor GsMTx4 (10 mg/kg) every 2 days after modeling.Bladder cystometry and ultrasound were performed after 2 and 6 weeks of transection.The expressions of Piezos and fibrosis-related indexes (Collagen Ⅰ and α-smooth muscle actin) were detected in bladder tissues. Results: The results of bladder cystometry showed that the basal bladder pressure in NB-2W group was significantly increased,while it was slightly decreased but was still higher in NB-6W group than in the sham group (P<0.05).Basal bladder pressure was lower in NB-P-2W group than in NB-2W group,but was higher than that in the sham group; basal bladder pressure was lower in NB-P-6W group than in NB-6W group,but higher than that in the sham group (P<0.05).Compared with the sham group,the NB-2W and NB-6W groups had firstly increased and then decreased maximum cystometric capacity (MCC) (P<0.05).Compared with NB-2W group,NB-P-2W group had lower bladder leakage point pressure (BLPP),but higher MCC and bladder compliance (BC) (P<0.05).Compared with NB-6W group,NB-P-6W group had significantly lower BLPP but higher MCC and BC (P<0.05).HE and MASSON staining and ultrasound results showed that,with the extension of nerve transection time,bladder fibrosis gradually worsened,the bladder wall became rough and thickened,calculi were visible inside,and hydronephrosis gradually appeared; the degree of fibrosis in NB-P-2W and NB-P-6W groups was less than that in NB-2W and NB-6W groups,and no hydronephrosis was observed in the upper urinary tract.In addition,Western blotting and immunohistochemical results showed that NB-2W and NB-6W groups had significantly higher relative expression levels of Piezos,Collagen Ⅰ and α-SMA than the sham group (P<0.01),while NB-P-2W and NB-P-6W groups had lower relative expression levels of Piezos,Collagen Ⅰ and α-SMA than NB-2W and NB-6W groups (P<0.01). Conclusion: The increased expressions of mechanosensitive channels Piezos in NB young rats may be involved in the progression of bladder fibrosis,but its mechanism needs further study.

Objective: To investigate the influencing factors of overactive bladder (OAB) in college freshmen and the impacts of OAB on their mental health, quality of life and social interaction. Methods: An epidemiological questionnaire survey was conducted in an anonymous manner on the prevalence of OAB among 5300 freshmen aged 17 to 22 years enrolled in the 2023—2024 academic year in Xinxiang Medical University and Sanquan College of Xinxiang Medical University.The questionnaire included questions on basic information, history of urinary tract infection, constipation, smoking, history of alcohol consumption, history of coffee/strong tea drinking, history of carbonated beverage drinking, redundant prepuce, phimosis, holding urine, chronic insomnia, self-rating anxiety scale (SAS), quality of life score (QoL), and social avoidance and distress scale (SADS).The influencing factors of OAB were analyzed with multivariate logistic regression analysis.The subjects were grouped according to whether they had OAB, and the differences in SAS, QoL and SADS between the OAB group and non-OAB group were compared.The impacts of OAB on the anxiety level, quality of life, and social interaction were analyzed with multiple linear regression analysis. Results: The overall prevalence rate of OAB was 4.9% (244/5018).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the history of urinary tract infection (OR=0.177), constipation (OR=0.636), smoking (OR=0.582), alcohol consumption (OR=0.685), coffee/strong tea drinking (OR=0.387), carbonated beverage drinking (OR=0.631), redundant prepuce (OR=0.673), phimosis (OR=0.311), urine holding (OR=0.593), and chronic insomnia (OR=0.256) were influencing factors for the occurrence of OAB (P<0.05).The OAB group had higher SAS score [(41.18±6.54) vs. (38.61±6.36)], QoL score [(3.65±1.20) vs. (2.79±0.95)], social avoidance score [(6.25±1.86) vs. (5.86±1.51)], social distress score [(6.27±1.59) vs. (5.97±1.32)], and total SADS score [(12.51±2.35) vs. (11.84±2.01)] than the non-OAB group (P<0.05).The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that OAB could independently affect the scores of QoL, SAS, and SADS.The OAB group had higher scores of QoL, SAS, and SADS compared with the non-OAB group (P<0.001). Conclusion: History of urinary tract infection, constipation, smoking, alcohol consumption, coffee/strong tea drinking, carbonated beverage drinking, redundant prepuce, phimosis, urine holding, and chronic insomnia are influencing factors for the occurrence of OAB in male college students.Moreover, OAB has negative impacts on their mental health, quality of life, and social interaction.

[摘 要] 目的:观察白细胞介素-37(IL-37)在乳腺癌患者的表达变化对CD8+ T细胞活性的影响。方法:纳入2020年7月至2022年9月在新乡医学院第一附属医院就诊的46例乳腺癌患者、24例乳腺良性肿瘤患者、20例对照者。采集外周血,分离血浆和外周血单个核细胞(PBMC),收集接受手术治疗的乳腺癌患者肿瘤组织和癌旁组织,分离组织中肿瘤浸润淋巴细胞(TIL),纯化CD8+ T细胞。ELISA法检测IL-37、可溶型单免疫球蛋白IL-1受体相关蛋白(SIGIRR)表达,实时定量PCR法检测组织中IL-37 mRNA,流式细胞术检测CD8+ T细胞中IL-18受体α链(IL-18Rα)和SIGIRR表达。外源性IL-37刺激纯化的CD8+ T细胞,与乳腺癌细胞系MCF-7共培养,通过测定乳酸脱氢酶水平计算靶细胞死亡比例,ELISA法检测上清中穿孔素、颗粒酶B、干扰素-γ(IFN-γ)、肿瘤坏死因子-α(TNF-α)水平。结果:乳腺癌患者血浆IL-37水平高于乳腺良性肿瘤患者[(554.17 ± 96.63)pg/mL vs (499.52 ± 78.66)pg/mL,P = 0.020]和对照者[(483.97 ± 47.23)pg/mL,P = 0.003]。乳腺癌患者肿瘤组织中IL-37 mRNA相对表达量高于癌旁组织[(1.88 ± 0.21) vs (1.00 ± 0.53)pg/mL,P < 0.001]。外周血IL-18Rα+ CD8+细胞比例、SIGIRR+ CD8+细胞比例、血浆可溶型SIGIRR水平在乳腺癌患者、乳腺良性肿瘤患者、对照者之间的差异无统计学意义(均P > 0.05)。CD8+ TIL表达IL-18Rα和SIGIRR的比例在肿瘤组织和癌旁组织之间的差异无统计学意义(P > 0.05)。重组人IL-37刺激后,CD8+ T细胞诱导靶细胞死亡比例、上清中IFN-γ和TNF-α水平在直接接触和间接接触共培养系统中均低于无刺激(均P < 0.05)。在直接接触共培养系统中,IL-37刺激后上清中穿孔素和颗粒酶B水平均低于无刺激(均P < 0.001),但在间接接触共培养系统中,上清中穿孔素和颗粒酶B水平在无刺激和IL-37刺激之间的差异无统计学意义(均P > 0.05)。结论:乳腺癌患者中IL-37水平升高可能参与诱导外周血和肿瘤微环境中CD8+ T细胞功能衰竭。
