Systemic mastocytosis (SM) with an associated myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative neoplasm (MDS/MPN) is a rare subtype of myeloid neoplasms. Avapritinib, a potent and selective inhibitor of KIT D816V, is approved for treating advanced systemic mastocytosis (AdvSM). We report a case of a patient with SM and an associated MDS/MPN treated with avapritinib. The patient achieved sustained complete remission (CR) of SM, with persistent molecular negativity for the KIT D816V mutation, but ultimately succumbed to disease progression to chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML). Although avapritinib, a novel targeted therapy, has significantly improved outcomes for SM, the efficacy of treatment for the associated hematologic neoplasm in patients with SM-AHN may be the primary determinant of long-term overall survival and progression-free survival. This report includes a review of relevant literature to provide insights into the clinical diagnosis and management of this rare entity.

Objective:To understand the genetic characteristics of varicella-zoster virus(VZV)prevalent in Qinghai province,China since 2020.Methods:A total of 54 pharyngeal swab specimens were collected from sporadic suspected varicella cases in Qinghai province in 2020,2023,and 2024. Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction was used for etiological screening of the specimens. Sequencing of three genes,namely ORF22,ORF38,and ORF62,and single-nucleotide polymorphism(SNP)analysis were performed on VZV nucleic acid-positive specimens.Results:All 54 suspected varicella cases were diagnosed with VZV infection,and three gene sequences were successfully obtained from 53 specimens. The results of genotype identification showed that all VZV infection case specimens obtained in this study in Qinghai province were wild strains. Among them,4 specimens in 2020 were of clade 2 type;among 14 specimens in 2023,7 were of clade 2 type and the remaining 7 were of clade 5 type;among 35 specimens in 2024,27 were of clade5 type,5 were of clade 2 type,and 3 were of clade 4 type. The SNP results showed that in 2023 and 2024,one specimen each had an A→G base mutation at position 37 990,and in 2024,3 specimens had a T→C base mutation at position 37946. Among them,the sequences containing the former mutation have been prevalent and spread in multiple regions of China,and the latter has not been reported in other regions of China.Conclusion:From 2020 to 2024 in Qinghai province,at least three genotypes of VZV,namely clade 2 type,clade 5 type,and clade 4 type,co-prevailed,and the clade 5 genotype of VZV may become the dominant prevalent strain.

Objective To compare the node strength in white matter networks between depressive disorder and bipolar depression patients,analyze structural connectivity impairments across brain regions,and assess their diagnostic utility.Methods This longitudinal study initially enrolled 91 patients with a baseline diagnosis of depressive episode.All subjects underwent diffusion tensor imaging at recruitment and white matter structural weighted networks were constructed using deterministic fiber tracking.After≥9 years of naturalistic follow-up,23 patients who maintained a diagnosis of major depressive disorder(MDD group)and 18 patients who maintained a diagnosis of bipolar disorder(BD group),while 30 demographically matched healthy controls(HC group)were included for comparison.The differences in nodal connection strength within the brain white matter networks among the three groups were compared.Furthermore,the receiver operator characteristic(ROC)curve was utilized to evaluate the diagnostic value of the differential brain regions in distinguishing between MDD and BD.Results In the left anterior cingulate gyrus,the node strength was lower in the BD than in the MDD group(3.89±0.76 vs.4.74±0.60).However,the node strength in the right caudate nucleus(4.94±1.26 vs.3.46±0.99)and right globus pallidus(1.98±0.67 vs.1.25±0.29)was higher in the BD than in the MDD group(P<0.01,FWE-corrected).The combined connectivity strengths of three brain regions—the left anterior cingulate gyrus,right caudate nucleus and right globus pallidus—were used to differentiate between MDD and BD,and an ROC curve was plotted,with an area under the curve(AUC)of 0.95(95%CI:0.91~0.99;P<0.001).The sensitivity and the specificity were 0.89 and 0.87,respectively.Conclusion The differences in node strength between patient groups may serve as a potential neuroimaging biomarker.Integration of node connectivity strengths from these differential brain regions can achieve superior discrimination accuracy.

Objective To conduct surveillance on sapovirus among hospitalized children under five years old with diarrhea in Qinghai Province in 2023, to preliminarily study the positive rate and prevalent genotypes of sapovirus, and to accumulate molecular epidemiological data on sapovirus infections in the province. Methods A surveillance sentinel was established at the Qinghai Provincial Women and Children's Hospital. According to the "National Viral Diarrhea Surveillance Program" (2021 edition), surveillance of viral diarrhea in hospitalized children under five with diarrhea was conducted. Fluorescent quantitative PCR was used to test patient samples, and whole-genome sequencing was performed on positive samples with a CT value ≤32. Sequence analysis of the VP1 gene of sapovirus was conducted, including phylogenetic tree analysis, homology analysis, average genetic distance analysis, and amino acid variation site analysis. Results The positive rate of sapovirus surveillance in Qinghai Province in 2023 was 3.89% (7/180). The VP1 gene sequence analysis showed that the virus had 6 amino acid substitutions and was the closest to the isolates from China in 2013 (MK111629.1), 2014 (MK111630.1), 2015 (MH477433.1), and 2016 (KX980412.1). This virus belongs to the GⅠ.1 genotype, which is currently the predominant genotype currently infecting China. The nucleotide homology between the five reference strains was 93.71%-98.81%, and the amino acid homology was 99.29%-99.82%. The average nucleotide genetic distance was 0.012-0.067. Conclusions The study found that the epidemic level of sapovirus diarrhea in Qinghai Province in 2023 was similar to that reported in several provinces from 2020 to 2023. This is the first time that whole-genome sequencing has been used to identify the genotype of sapovirus in the province, and sequence analysis indicates that the virus strain (23-14) is the dominant strain prevalent in China. This research provides sequence references for molecular evolution studies of sapovirus infections and serves as a reference for future pathogen detection of viral diarrhea and molecular epidemiological analysis of sapovirus.
