Objective To explore the construction method,evaluation system,and related indicators of the Qi Yin deficiency syndrome model of type 2 diabetes(T2DM)in Guizhou miniature pigs.Methods Twenty-six 6-month-old Guizhou miniature pigs were divided into 2 groups:pigs fed a basic diet for 10 months(normal group,n=6),and pigs fed a high-sugar,high-fat diet for 10 months followed by Qingpi Fuzi decoction for 3 months(Qi Yin deficiency in T2DM model group,n=20).Qi Yin deficiency in the T2DM model was created in Guizhou miniature pigs.Traditional Chinese medicine syndrome types were evaluated using five scales,including urination,defecation,movement and mental state,response to the surrounding environment,and color of the skin,hair,and nasal disc.Serum CD4+and CD8+and their ratios,cAMP and cGMP and their ratios,as well as tongue RGB color values were used to evaluate Qi Yin deficiency syndrome.Fasting blood glucose(FBG),glycosylated hemoglobin(HbA1c),glucose tolerance test(OGTT),homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance(HOMA-IR),triglycerides(TG),total cholesterol(TC),high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol(HDL-C),low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol(LDL-C),prothrombin time(PT),activated partial thromboplastin time(APTT),and other indicators were used to evaluate T2DM.Results Physically,the model group pigs were overweight and showed fatigue,with a tendency to lie down,lethargy,overeating and drinking,and dull fur.The defecation,movement and mental state,response to the surrounding environment,and color of the skin,fur,and nasal disc scores were relatively low(P＜0.05).The tongue appeared red with no or little coating.Pigs in the model group showed significantly lower of FBG,HbA1c,HOMA-IR,TC,LDL-C,cAMP,and cGMP,compared with the normal group.The RGB values of the tongue images were significantly reduced.The PT,APTT,CD4+,and CD4+/CD8+values were also significantly reduced,and TG,HDL-C,and cGMP were all elevated(all P＞0.05).Pathological staining showed destruction of pancreatic tissue.Conclusions The method of using a high-sugar and high-fat diet combined with traditional Chinese medicine for breaking Qi and damaging Yin can be used to establish a small pig model of T2DM with Qi Yin deficiency.The established model shows the main symptoms of fatigue,thirst,shortness of breath and lethargy,redness and dryness of the tongue,lack of coating on the tongue,and a weak pulse in traditional Chinese medicine syndromes,as well as concurrent symptoms including yellow and transparent urine,dry stools,slow response,curling up,dull fur,and a gray and dull nasal disc,as well as clinical manifestations of abnormal glucose and lipid metabolism and insulin resistance.

Objective:To examine the short and long-term clinical outcomes of total arterial coronary artery bypass grafting.Methods:Clinic data of 208 patients with left main and multiple vessel coronary artery disease and undertaken total arterial coronary artery bypass grafting from February 2009 to December 2019 in Department of Cardiac Surgery, Rui Jin Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine were analyzed retrospectively. There were 188 males and 20 females with an age of (54.7±10.7) years (range: 32 to 79 years). The harvest of arterial conduits and grafting strategies were depended upon the individual patient characteristics and surgeon′s experience. Left internal thoracic artery (LITA) was applied in 207 cases, right internal thoracic artery (RITA) in 38 cases (bilateral internal thoracic artery (BITA) in 37 cases), and radial artery (RA) in 187 cases (188 grafts). The graft number per case was 2.6±0.7 (range: 2 to 4). Surgical procedures was completed with off-pump technique in 98.1% patients (204/208). Subgroup analysis was carried out between subgroup BITA ( n=37) and subgroup SITA (single ITA+RA) ( n=171). The t test, χ 2 test or Fisher exact test were used to compare the clinic characteristics between the two subgroups. The Kaplan-Meier curve was used to estimate the rate of late mortality, major adverse cardiac cerebrovascular event (MACCE), and target vessel revascularization (TVR). A Cox proportional hazards model was used to identify the independent prognosis factors of late mortality. Results:The overall mortality within 30 days postoperatively was 1.4%(3/208). The incidences of perioperative MACCE, re-operation for bleeding and deep sternal wound infection (DSWI) were 1.9%(4/208), 0.5%(1/208) and 1.4%(3/208), respectively. Perioperative myocardial infarction and TVR were not observed. There was no significant difference of 30-day mortality, MACCE, bleeding and DSWI between subgroup BITA and SITA+RA (all P>0.05). In a follow-up period of (5.4±2.8)years (range: 0.2 to 10.9 years), the incidence of all-cause mortality at 1-, 5- and 10-year was 2.3%, 3.4% and 6.9%, respectively. The incidence of MACCE was 3.9%,11.2% and 28.5%, respectively. The rate of TVR was 0.4%, 3.7% and 11.9%, respectively. Age>65 was an independent prognosis factor of late mortality ( HR=1.125, 95 % CI:1.050 to 1.205, P<0.01). Conclusions:Total arterial coronary bypass grafting is safe and achievable with proper patient selection and surgical strategies. It significantly decreases the risks of late mortality and repeated revascularization.

Objective:This study aims to investigate the efficacy and safety of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell bridging allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) in the treatment of recurrent and refractory acute B-lymphocytic leukemia (R/R B-ALL) .Methods:A total of 50 R/R B-ALL patients who underwent CAR T-scell therapy to bridge allo-HSCT in the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from January 2017 to May 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. The overall survival (OS) rate, event-free survival (EFS) rate, cumulative recurrence rate (CIR) , and transplant-related mortality (TRM) of patients with different bone marrow minimal residual disease (MRD) levels were analyzed before and after CAR T-cell infusion and before allo-HSCT.Results:The response rate of CAR T-cell therapy and the incidence rate of severe cytokine release syndrome were 92% and 28% , respectively. During 55 infusions, no treatment-related deaths occurred in any of the patients. The median time of CAR T-cell infusion to allo-HSCT was 54 (26-232) days, the median follow-up time after CAR T-cell infusion was 637 (117-1097) days, and the 1-year OS and EFS rates were (80.0±5.7) % and (60.0±6.9) % . The 1-year CIR and TRM after allo-HSCT were (28.0±0.4) % and (8.0±0.2) % . After CAR T-cell infusion and before allo-HSCT, patients with bone marrow MRD<0.01% had a significantly longer EFS [ (70.0±7.2) % vs (20.0±12.6) % , P<0.001; (66.7±7.5) % vs (36.4±14.5) % , P=0.008]and lower CIR [ (25.0±0.5) % vs (70.0±2.6) % , P<0.001; (23.08±0.47) % vs (45.45±2.60) % , P=0.038]. Conclusion:CAR T-cell therapy bridging allo-HSCT is safe and effective for recurrent and refractory B-ALL.
