Objective To summarize and analyze the efficacy and influencing factors of second allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) for acute leukemia relapsing after the first allo-HSCT. Methods Clinical data of 17 patients with acute leukemia who underwent second allo-HSCT at Peking University First Hospital from January 2005 to December 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. Results Among the 17 patients, 7 achieved long-term disease-free survival after second transplantation. The median progression-free survival after successful second transplantation was 7 months (range 8 days to 69 months). The relapse fatality was 24%, and the transplant-related fatality was 35%. Conclusions Second transplantation is an effective treatment for relapsed and refractory acute leukemia, but the relapse fatality and transplant-related fatality remain high. Patient age, time of relapse after the first transplantation and disease status before second transplantation are all factors that affect the efficacy of second transplantation. Younger age, late relapse and complete remission of disease before second transplantation are all beneficial for long-term disease-free survival after second transplantation.

Stroke is the leading cause of death and disability among adults in China, and its common complications include digestive system abnormalities, cognitive impairment, depression, stroke-associated pneumonia, and hemiplegia. The combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine has great potential in treating post-stroke complications. Xinglou Chengqitang (XLCQT) is a representative prescription of alleviating the disease in the upper part by treating the lower part. It has definite therapeutic effect and high safety. Clinically, XLCQT is often used to treat stroke and its complications. However, the quantity and quality of clinical trials of XLCQT in treating post-stroke complications need to be improved. Additionally, since the basic research is weak, the material basis and multi-target mechanism for the efficacy of this prescription are unknown. This article reviews XLCQT in terms of the pharmacodynamic basis, medicinal properties, safety evaluation, and progress in clinical research and mechanisms in treating post-stroke complications. This article summarizes 22 key active ingredients of XLCQT in treating acute stroke complicated with syndrome of phlegm heat and fu-organ excess. Among these key active ingredients, resveratrol, kaempferol, luteolin, chrysoeriol, apigenin, (+)-catechin, and adenosine have good pharmacokinetic properties and high bioavailability. The mechanisms of XLCQT in treating post-stroke complications are complex, including inflammatory response, brain-gut axis, hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, intestinal flora, neurotrophic factors, autophagy, oxidative stress, and free radical damage. This review helps to deeply understand the pharmacodynamic basis and mechanisms of XLCQT in treating post-stroke complications and provides a theoretical basis for the clinical application of XLCQT against post-stroke complications and the development of drugs.

Objective: To investigate the identification process of a case with anti-Fy
combined with Rh blood group system antibodies and to review the transfusion strategy and epidemiological characteristics of Duffy blood group system antibodies. Methods: The antibody specificity of a patient diagnosed with liver cirrhosis, who exhibited unexpected antibodies, was determined using the microcolumn gel method, enzyme method, and elution test. A retrospective analysis was performed to assess the incidence and clinical characteristics of antibodies associated with the Duffy blood group system among a cohort of 652 003 patients treated at our hospital from 2014 to 2024. Results: The patient's serum contained anti-Fy
, anti-c, and anti-E antibodies. Through the targeted recruitment of African international students, the patient successfully received four units of Fy
-negative blood that matched the ABO and Rh phenotypes. Between 2014 and 2024, the incidence of Duffy blood group system antibodies was 0.005 7% (37 out of 652 003), with 9 cases (24.3%) combined with Rh antibodies. Conclusion: Patients with anti-Fy
combined with Rh antibodies require Fy
-negative blood with matched Rh phenotypes. Targeted recruitment based on racial antigen differences can effectively resolve rare blood type transfusion challenges.

[Objective] To study the molecular biological mechanism for a case of ABO blood group B subtype, and perform three-dimensional modeling of the mutant enzyme. [Methods] The ABO phenotype was identified by the tube method and microcolumn gel method; the ABO gene of the proband was detected by sequence-specific primer polymerase chain reaction (PCR-SSP), and the exon 6 and 7 of the ABO gene were sequenced and analyzed. Homologous modeling of Bw.03 glycosyltransferase (GT) was carried out by Modeller and analyzed by PyMOL2.5.0 software. [Results] The weakening B antigen was detected in the proband sample by forward typing, and anti-B antibody was detected by reverse typing. PCR-SSP detection showed B, O gene, and the sequencing results showed c.721 C>T mutation in exon 7 of the B gene, resulting in p. Arg 241 Trp. Compared with the wild type, the structure of Bw.03GT was partially changed, and the intermolecular force analysis showed that the original three hydrogen bonds at 241 position disappeared. [Conclusion] Blood group molecular biology examination is helpful for the accurate identification of ambiguous blood group. Homologous modeling more intuitively shows the key site for the weakening of Bw.03 GT activity. The intermolecular force analysis can explain the root cause of enzyme activity weakening.

Background:
Obesity and chronic pain are related in both directions, according to earlier observational research.This research aimed to analyze the causal association between obesity and chronic pain at the genetic level, as well as to assess whether common factors mediate this relationship.
Methods:
This study used bidirectional two sample Mendelian randomization (MR) technique to analyze the association between obesity and chronic pain. Obesity's summary genome-wide association data were obtained from European ancestry groups, as measured by body mass index (BMI), waist-to-hip ratio, waist circumference (WC), and hip circumference (HC), genome-wide association study data for chronic pain also came from the UK population, including chronic pain at three different sites (back, hip, and headache), chronic widespread pain (CWP), and multisite chronic pain (MCP). Secondly, a two-step MR and multivariate MR investigation was performed to evaluate the mediating effects of several proposed confounders.
Results:
The authors discovered a link between chronic pain and obesity. More specifically, a sensitivity analysis was done to confirm the associations between greater BMI, WC, and HC with an increased risk of CWP and MCP.Importantly, the intermediate MR results suggest that education levels and smoking initiation may mediate the causal relationship between BMI on CWP, with a mediation effect of 23.08% and 15.38%, respectively.
Conclusions
The authors’ findings demonstrate that the importance of education and smoking in understanding chronic pain’s pathogenesis, which is important for the primary prevention and prognosis of chronic pain.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect and mechanism of cordycepin in inhibiting fat infiltration after rotator cuff injuries in rats by regulating the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, providing a theoretical basis for clinical treatment of rotator cuff injuries. MethodsFifty SPF-grade female SD rats were used in this study, with 10 randomly selected as the blank group. A rotator cuff injury repair model was established by supraspinatus tendon and suprascapular nerve compression. The successfully modeled rats were randomized into model and low-dose (20 mg·kg-1), medium-dose (40 mg·kg-1), and high-dose (80 mg·kg-1) cordycepin groups. After 6 weeks of treatment, the gait analysis was performed to assess the limb function in rats. Oil red O staining and Masson staining were employed to observe pathological changes in the muscle tissue. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to measure the levels of interleukin-1β (IL-1β), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in the serum. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) was employed to detect the expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) and CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein α (C/EBPα), which are markers of adipogenesis. Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR) and Western blot were employed to determine the mRNA and protein levels, respectively, of Wnt3a, Wnt10b, and β-catenin. ResultsCompared with the blank group, the model group showed decreases in stride length and paw print area (P<0.01), an increase in ratio of wet muscle mass reduction and a decrease in muscle fiber cross-sectional area (P<0.05), and decreased ratios of fat infiltration area and collagen fiber area (P<0.01). Additionally, the model group showed elevated levels of IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α (P<0.05), up-regulated protein levels of PPARγ and C/EBPα (P<0.01), and down-regulated mRNA and protein levels of Wnt3a, Wnt10b, and β-catenin (P<0.05, P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the low-, medium-, and high-dose cordycepin groups showed increases in stride length and paw print area (P<0.01), a decrease in ratio of wet muscle mass reduction and an increase in muscle fiber cross-sectional area (P<0.05), and increases in ratios of fat infiltration area and collagen fiber area (P<0.05, P<0.01). In addition, cordycepin lowered the serum levels of IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α (P<0.05, P<0.01), down-regulated the protein levels of PPARγ and C/EBPα (P<0.01), and up-regulated the mRNA and protein levels of Wnt3a, Wnt10b, and β-catenin (P<0.05, P<0.01). ConclusionCordycepin can improve the limb function, alleviate rotator cuff muscle atrophy, fat infiltration, and fibrosis, and inhibit inflammation in rats by regulating the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.

ObjectiveTo investigate vitamin D level in children with cholestatic liver disease, and to provide a theoretical basis for vitamin D supplementation therapy in children with this disease. MethodsA total of 116 children with cholestatic liver disease who attended Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Beijing Children’s Hospital, Capital Medical University, for the first time from January 2022 to January 2024 were enrolled and divided into groups for comparison based on sex, age, vitamin D supplementation dose, course of the disease, and etiology. The data on the serum level of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-OH-D) and related biochemical parameters were collected to assess the correlation between vitamin D level and biochemical parameters. The chi-square test or the Fisher’s exact test was used for comparison of categorical data between groups, and the Spearman rank correlation test was used for correlation analysis. ResultsAmong the 116 children, 76 (65.5%) had vitamin D deficiency or insufficiency. The children with vitamin D deficiency or insufficiency accounted for 65.7% (46/70) among boys and 65.2% (30/46) among girls, with no significant difference between boys and girls (χ2=0.003, P=0.956). The children with vitamin D deficiency or insufficiency accounted for 83.3% (25/30) among the children who had never received vitamin D supplementation, 58.7% (27/46) among the children with a daily supplementation dose of 500 IU, 64.3% (18/28) among the children with a daily supplementation dose of 700 IU, and 50.0% (6/12) among the children with a daily supplementation dose of>700 IU, and there was no significant difference between these groups (χ2=6.460, P=0.091). Comparison between the groups with different etiologies showed that the children with vitamin D deficiency or insufficiency accounted for 57.7% (15/26) in the infectious disease group, 66.7% (10/15) in the inherited metabolic disease group, 66.7% (6/9) in the drug-induced liver injury group, 100.0% (8/8) in the group with abnormal structure of the biliary system, and 63.8% (37/58) in the group with unknown etiology, and there was no significant difference between these groups (χ2=5.304, P=0.252). Comparison between the groups with different courses of the disease showed that the children with vitamin D deficiency or insufficiency accounted for 78.4% (29/37) in the<1 month group, 54.3% (25/46) in the 1 — 3 months group, 53.3% (8/15) in the 3 — 6 months group, and 77.8% (14/18) in the>6 months group, with no significant difference between these groups (χ2=7.432, P=0.059). Comparison between different age groups showed that compared with the infant group, the children group had a significantly higher proportion of children with vitamin D deficiency or insufficiency (χ2=9.504, P=0.018). The correlation analysis showed that serum aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase had no significant correlation with 25-OH-D (P>0.05); serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) (r=-0.286, P=0.002), gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) (r=-0.248, P=0.007), total bilirubin (TBil) (r=-0.353, P<0.001), direct bilirubin (DBil) (r=-0.299, P=0.001), and total bile acid (r=-0.236, P=0.011) were negatively correlated with 25-OH-D, while serum calcium (r=0.263, P=0.004) and phosphorus (r=0.385, P<0.001) were positively correlated with 25-OH-D. ConclusionMost children with cholestatic liver disease have vitamin D deficiency or insufficiency, and the increase in serum ALP, GGT, TBil, DBil or total bile acid and the reduction in calcium or phosphorus may suggest vitamin D deficiency or insufficiency.
