Objective:To explore the efficacy and safety of olverembatinib in treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) progressed to acute lymphoblastic leukemia with D241E mutation.Methods:The diagnosis and treatment of a patient with D241E mutant CML progressed to acute lymphoblastic leukemia admitted to the Fourth People's Hospital of Jinan in December 2018 were retrospectively analyzed, and relevant literature was reviewed.Results:The patient was a 47-year-old female, and her blood test result was abnormal during physical examination. She was diagnosed as CML and received treatment with imatinib and dasatinib for 2 years. The disease progressed to philadelphia chromosome (Ph)-positive acute B-lymphoblastic leukemia with BCR-ABL mutation (a D241E mutation). After 3 courses of chemotherapy combined with a targeted drug (ponatinib), the patient achieved complete remission, while the minimal residual disease continued to be positive. The patient received 1 course of chemotherapy combined with olverembatinib from the 4th course of treatment. After olverembatinib monotherapy maintenance therapy for 36 months, the patient achieved molecular complete remission with minimal residual disease. The patient developed complications such as skin pigmentation and elevated lipid levels, but all complications were tolerable.Conclusions:The application of olverembatinib in D241E mutant CML progressed to acute lymphoblastic leukemia can help patients obtain sustained molecular biological remission and good safety.

Objective:To explore the feasibility and safety of the combined liver and kidney procurement technique with preservation of the donor diaphragm.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted on the clinical data of 135 donors with pulmonary infection who underwent combined liver and kidney procurement and their corresponding 370 recipients in the Department of Transplantation, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region People's Hospital from January 2021 to August 2023. According to whether the donor diaphragm was resected during procurement, the donors were divided into diaphragm preservation group (67 cases) and diaphragm resection group (68 cases). The t-test and chi-square test were used to compare the baseline characteristics of the donors, donor procurement time, surgical injury to organs, donor-derived infection (DDI), delayed graft function (DGF), primary non-function (PNF), and perioperative death between the two groups.Results:There were no statistically significant differences in age, sex, body mass index, number of organs procured, number of organs transplanted, number of organs discarded, or positive rate of sputum cultures for different strains between the two groups (all P>0.05). The donor procurement time was (46.70±12.61) min in the diaphragm preservation group and (45.79±12.78) min in the diaphragm resection group, with no statistically significant difference ( P=0.679). No surgical injuries to other abdominal organs (such as intestines or, in the diaphragm resection group, the lungs) occurred during procurement. After transplantation, the incidence of delayed graft function in kidney recipients was 7.32% (9/123) in the diaphragm preservation group and 11.67% (14/120) in the diaphragm resection group, with no statistically significant difference between the two groups ( P=0.279). The incidence of DDI was 0 in the diaphragm preservation group and 7.07% (13/184) in the diaphragm resection group, showing a statistically significant difference ( P<0.001). No cases of primary non-function or perioperative death occurred in either group. Conclusion:Compared with the conventional method, the combined liver and kidney procurement technique that preserves the donor diaphragm does not significantly increase operative time, organ injury, delayed graft function, primary non-function, or perioperative mortality. It significantly reduces the incidence of donor-derived infections and is worthy of clinical promotion and application.

To summarize and analyze the clinical data of one case of kidney transplantation in an HIV-positive child with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in the Department of Transplantation, the People's Hospital of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, and to explore the safety and efficacy of kidney transplantation in HIV-positive children with ESRD. This pediatric recipient was found to be HIV-positive at birth and underwent kidney transplantation due to ESRD, with good postoperative recovery. During the 2.5-year follow-up, no rejection or rebound in HIV RNA levels was observed. The function of the transplanted kidney was good, and the quality of life was comparable to that of healthy individuals. It suggests that kidney transplantation in HIV-positive children with ESRD is safe and effective under adequate preoperative preparation and close postoperative follow-up.

Objective:To observe macular vascular density and structural characteristics in children with transfusion-dependent β-thalassemia (TDT).Methods:A retrospective clinical study. From October 2022 to December 2023, 29 TDT children (58 eyes) diagnosed and examined at the Department of Hematology, Affiliated Hospital of Guangdong Medical University were included in the TDT group, along with 29 age- and gender-matched healthy children (58 eyes) as the control group. All participants underwent optical coherence tomography and angiography. Measurements included central macular thickness (CMT), subretinal choroidal thickness (SFCT), choroidal thickness (ChT), choroidal vascularity index, blood flow density in the superficial capillary plexus (SCP), deep capillary plexus (DCP), choriocapillaris layer (CC), and choroidal layer of the macular region, as well as the foveal avascular zone (FAZ) area of the SCP and DCP. A generalized estimating equation was used to compare differences in the above parameters between the two groups. Pearson correlation analysis was employed to examine the relationships between fundus structural parameters, blood flow density, and blood indices.Results:Compared with the control group, the TDT group showed significantly thinner CMT ( χ2=6.044) and ChT at 3.0 mm nasal ( χ2=4.451) and temporal ( χ2=4.767) to the fovea ( P<0.05). The TDT group also demonstrated reduced blood flow density in the inferior DCP ( χ2=5.254), whole CC ( χ2=3.996), and superior CC ( χ2=5.094), as well as enlarged FAZ area in DCP ( χ2=4.286) ( P<0.05). Correlation analysis revealed a negative correlation between SFCT and disease duration ( r=?0.357, P=0.006). Conclusions:In children with TDT, CMT and ChT become thinner and the area of FAZ expands. The blood flow densities of DCP and CC in the macular area decreased.

Objective To explore the application effect of bedside critical ultrasound in volume management of acute kidney injury(AKI)donors.Methods Clinical data of 56 AKI donors and 106 recipients from the Transplantation Center of People's Hospital of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region from October 1,2020 to May 31,2022 were collected.They were divided into the critical ultrasound group(34 donors,66 recipients)and the traditional central venous pressure(CVP)group(22 donors,40 recipients)according to the volume management methods.The AKI stage and recovery time,renal function indicators(serum creatinine(Scr),cystatin C,estimated glomerular filtration rate),donor Remuzzi score,cold ischemia time,biventricular inotrope usage rate and time,delayed graft function(DGF)incidence and recovery time,and renal function indicators at 6 and 12 months after surgery were compared and analyzed between the two groups.Results There were no statistically significant differences in gender,age,body weight,AKI stage,pre-acquisition renal function indicators,biventricular inotrope usage rate,renal function indicators at 6 and 12 months after surgery,DGF recovery time,donor Remuzzi score and cold ischemia time of the donors and recipients between two groups(all P>0.05).The AKI recovery time,continuous renal replacement therapy rate and biventricular inotrope usage time of donors in the critical ultrasound group were shorter or lower than those in the traditional CVP group(all P<0.05).The incidence of DGF in recipients of the critical ultrasound group was lower than that of the traditional CVP group(P<0.05).Subgroup analysis showed that there was no statistically significant difference in Scr at 6 and 12 months after surgery in recipients of the critical ultrasound group(P>0.05),while the Scr at 12 months after surgery was higher than that at 6 months in recipients of the traditional CVP group(P<0.05).Conclusions AKI kidneys may be used for kidney transplantation after active maintenance.Bedside critical ultrasound has unique advantages in volume management of AKI donors and may improve the function of AKI kidneys to a certain extent.

AIM: To observe the changes of macular retinal structure and microcirculation in patients with pituitary adenoma(PA)by optical coherence tomography(OCT)and optical coherence tomography angiography(OCTA).METHODS: Cross-sectional study. A total of 40 PA patients treated at the department of neurosurgery, Affiliated Hospital of Guangdong Medical University from September 2021 to March 2023 were included as PA group, and 42 age- and gender-matched healthy volunteers were selected as normal control group. All patients underwent visual field, OCT and OCTA examinations, and the correlation of ocular parameters in PA patients was analyzed.RESULTS:The vessel density(VD)of each retinal layer in the macular area of the PA group was lower than that of the normal control group, and the superficial vascular complex(SVC)-VD in the macular area was positively correlated with the thickness of the macular ganglion cell complex(mGCC)(except the nasal side of the inner ring and the lower part of the outer ring; P<0.05). The thickness of mGCC in each quadrant of the macular area and the thickness of the circumpapillary retinal nerve fiber layer(CP-RNFL)in each quadrant were negatively correlated with the mean defect(MD)value of the visual field(P<0.05), and the area of the foveal avascular zone(FAZ)was positively correlated with the MD value(P<0.05).CONCLUSION:The combination of OCT and OCTA can fully understand the microscopic changes of retinal structure and microcirculation function in PA patients, which is of great value in evaluating the preoperative visual function of PA patients.
