Objective:To explore the efficacy and prognosis factors of acute myeloid leukemia with a combination therapy of venetoclax.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of AML patients treated with a combination therapy of venetoclax from March 2020 to April 2023 in the First Hospital of Lanzhou University.The efficacy,adverse reactions and survival were observed,and the influencing factors were analyzed.Results:A total of 74 AML patients were included in this study,including 43 initially treated AML and 31 relapsed or refractory AML(R/R AML).The median age of 43 initially treated AML patients was 65 years old,the composite complete remission(cCR)rate was 67.4％(29/43),the objective response rate(ORR)was 72.1％(31/43),and the median overall survival(OS)was 17.3 months.The median age of 31 R/R AML patients was 51 years old,with a cCR rate of 38.7％(12/31),an ORR of 58.1％(18/31),and a median OS of 7.1 months.Sex,the blood cell count before VEN,gene mutation and prognosis stratification were related to whether to obtain cCR.Failure to obtain cCR was an independent risk factor for adverse outcomes.Conclusion:A combination therapy of venetoclax is safe and efficacious for AML.Its efficacy and survival are affected by molecular biology,cytogenetics and other factors.

Objective:To explore the correlation between gene mutations and clinical characteristics,prognosis of myelodysplastic syndromes(MDS).Methods:Clinical data of 131 patients with MDS were collected from the First Hospital of Lanzhou University from June 2015 to February 2023,which 19 of them developed into secondary acute myeloid leukemia(sAML)during follow-up time.Second generation sequencing technology was used to detect the mutation types of MDS disease-related genes,drawn gene maps,and analyzed their correlation and prognosis based on the clinical data of patients.Results:The median age of 131 MDS patients was 58(17-86)years old.The ratio of male to female was 1.3:1.A total of 148 gene mutations and 25 types were found in the center.U2AF1 and ASXL1 were often co-mutations with other genes,which were accompanied by 20q-and normal karyotype(NK)respectively.SETBP1 and SRSF2 were more common in patients over 60 years old,while NPM1 and WT1 under 60 years.Older patients had a higher the number of genetic mutations than younger patients.The incidence of SF3B1 and RUNX1 in males was higher than females and DNMT3A in females was higher than males.The number of gene mutations in sAML was higher than MDS(1.8 vs 1.0,P=0.006).The univariate and multivariate analysis showed that IPSS-R prognostic score≥ 3.5,TP53 were adverse factors for poor prognosis in MDS patients.Patients with monoallelic mutation(ma-TP53)and wild-type(wt-TP53)TP53 had OS better than biallelic mutation(bi-TP53)(P=0.003).The OS of MDS patients was better than sAML(P=0.01)and transplant patients was significantly better than non-transplant patients(P=0.036).Conclusion:Gene mutation is closely related to cytogenetic indexes and clinical features(peripheral blood cell count,sex,age).IPSS-R prognostic score and TP53 were risk factors affecting OS in MDS patients.

The FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) gene mutation is the most common genetic mutation in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and is associated with poor prognosis. Various targeted inhibitors have been developed for FLT3 mutations and have shown promising clinical efficacy. However, the emergence of resistance poses new challenges for targeted therapy in AML. This article provides an overview of the pathological and prognostic role of FLT3 mutations in AML, the current research progress on commonly used FLT3 inhibitors (type I and type II), the mechanisms of FLT3 inhibitor resistance, and strategies for overcoming resistance.

Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are the predominant immune cells in the tumor microenvironment (TME). They have been shown to play an important immunosuppressive role in the development of TME and promote tumor immune escape, growth and metastasis. It is a current research hotspot to regulate the functional polarization of TAMs through trained immunity (metabolic reprogramming, epigenetic remodeling) to affect the occurrence and development of tumors. Therefore, in-depth research in this field not only presents a more comprehensive perspective on the pathogenesis of immune-mediated diseases, but also can provide new strategies for clinical anti-tumor immunotherapy. This paper outlines the origin of TAMs and the phenotypes and mechanisms of TAMs polarization, discusses the mechanisms by which metabolic reprogramming and epigenetic remodeling regulate TAMs, summarizes the regulation of TAMs activation and polarization by them, and provides an overview of the progress in TAMs at the current stage of clinical practice, hoping to provide reference for the development of new immunoprevention and treatment strategies.

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) can be caused by multiple factors, including virus and autoimmune function, which in turn trigger persistent activation of the B-cell receptor (BCR) signaling pathway and other related signaling pathways, which collectively promote malignant B-cell proliferation and lead to tumor formation. Studies have shown significant progress in the treatment of primary and relapsed/refractory DLBCL with Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitor (BTKi) in combination with chemotherapy, immunotherapy and small molecule inhibitors in the setting of poor outcome with BTKi monotherapy. This article reviews the progress of BTKi combined regimens in DLBCL.

To investigate the common specific immunoglobulin E(sIgE) in children with eczema and urticaria, compare the allergies in children with different diseases, genders and ages, and provide the scientific basis for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment. A retrospective study was conducted to analyze the children who were suspected of eczema and urticaria and tested for serum sIgE in the Tianjin Children's Hospital from December 2019 to August 2021. A total of 8 092 serum samples were tested for ten food allergens and ten inhaled allergens. The method was the enzyme-linked immune capture assay. The allergen epidemiological characteristics were statistically analyzed by Chi square test based on the children's characteristics and factors such as different sexes and ages and by the mass data. The results showed that the positive rate of eczema was 64.42%(5 213/8 092), and the urticaria was 35.58%(2 879/8 092). The positive rate of specific IgE was 66.65%(5 393/8 092), the food allergens was 61.74%(4 996/8 092), and the inhaled allergens was 34.85%(2 820/8 092). The top three positive rates of food allergens were egg 46.65%(3 775/8 092), milk 32.64%(2 641/8 092) and wheat flour 15.08%(1 220/8 092). The top three positive rates of inhaled allergens were house dust 21.40%(1 732/8 092), Alternaria 11.78%(953/8 092) and Dermatophagoides farinae 7.33%(593/8 092). The positivity of food allergens and inhaled allergens was significantly different in different age groups. The positive rates of food allergens in different age groups were 48.92%(947/1 936) in<1 year old, 72.28%(2 680/3 708) in 1-3 years old, 64.58%(919/1 423) in 4-6 years old and 43.90%(450/1 025) in>6 years old. The positive rates of inhaled allergens in different age groups were 17.67%(342/1 936) in<1 year old, 36.35%(1 348/3 708) in 1-3 years old, 46.38%(660/1 423) in 4-6 years old and 45.85%(470/1 025) in>6 years old. The top six positive rates of allergens of eczema were the same with urticaria, which were egg, milk, house dust, wheat flour, Alternaria and Dermatophagoides farinae. The allergens (greater than or equal to grade 4) differed in children with eczema and urticaria. Moreover, there were significant differences in the positive rates of Alternaria, egg, wheat flour, crab and shrimp. In conclusion, this study can reflect the epidemic characteristics of allergens in children with eczema and urticaria to a certain extent. There were significant differences in the positive rates of allergens between different age groups. It is necessary to reasonably avoid the high-risk allergens according to the epidemiological characteristics and clinical symptoms, which provide valuable information for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of allergic diseases.

In order to cultivate qualified oral clinicians, strengthen examination management, and strictly implement process assessment, Special Training Base of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology in West China Hospital of Stomatology, Sichuan University, has implemented a whole-process and diversified assessment reform. In the part of process assessment, firstly the students were asked to fill in the workload form to give timely feedback on training and truly reflect attendance records; secondly, the performance of trainees in class was comprehensively evaluated in clinical training and theoretical teaching to improve their ability of comprehensive thinking of clinical problems. In the part of result assessment, the traditional theoretical assessment method was weakened, and the ability of comprehensive clinical research was strengthened. Trainees were guided to choose the topic flexibly and use standardized PPT format, and a comprehensive score was determined after assessment. Experts were invited to give their advice, so as to enhance the clinical confidence and scientific research confidence of trainees and help them expand their learning depth and breadth within the limited training time. The analysis of examination methods and assessment results shows that the "whole-process and diversified" assessment mode can truly reflect the training results of trainees and lay a solid foundation for further improvement and implementation of standardized training.

Objective: To explore the clinical characteristics of various types of infected pancreatic necrosis(IPN) and the prognosis of different treatment methods in the imaging classification of IPN proposed. Methods: The clinical data of 126 patients with IPN admitted to the Department of Pancreatic and Biliary Surgery, the First Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University from December 2018 to December 2021 were analyzed retrospectively. There were 70 males(55.6%) and 56 females(44.4%), with age(M(IQR)) of 44(17)years (range: 12 to 87 years). There were 67 cases(53.2%) of severe acute pancreatitis and 59 cases (46.8%) of moderately severe acute pancreatitis. All cases were based on the diagnostic criteria of IPN. All cases were divided into Type Ⅰ(central IPN)(n=21), Type Ⅱ(peripheral IPN)(n=23), Type Ⅲ(mixed IPN)(n=74) and Type Ⅳ(isolated IPN)(n=8) according to the different sites of infection and necrosis on CT.According to different treatment strategies,they were divided into Step-up group(n=109) and Step-jump group(n=17). The clinical indicators and prognosis of each group were observed and analyzed by ANOVA,t-test,χ² test or Fisher exact test,respectively. Results: There was no significant difference in mortality, complication rate and complication grade in each type of IPN(all P>0.05). Compared with other types of patients, the length of stay (69(40)days vs. 19(19)days) and hospitalization expenses(323 000(419 000)yuan vs. 60 000(78 000)yuan) were significantly increased in Type Ⅳ IPN(Z=-4.041, -3.972; both P<0.01). The incidence of postoperative residual infection of Type Ⅳ IPN was significantly higher than that of other types (χ²=16.350,P<0.01). There was no significant difference in the mortality of patients with different types of IPN between different treatment groups. The length of stay and hospitalization expenses of patients in the Step-up group were significantly less than those in the Step-jump group(19(20)days vs. 33(35)days, Z=-2.052, P=0.040;59 000(80 000)yuan vs. 122 000(109 000)yuan,Z=-2.317,P=0.020). Among the patients in Type Ⅳ IPN, the hospitalization expenses of Step-up group was significantly higher than that of Step-jump group(330 000(578 000)yuan vs. 141 000 yuan,Z=-2.000,P=0.046). The incidence of postoperative residual infection of Step-up group(17.4%(19/109)) was significantly lower than that of Step-jump group(10/17)(χ²=11.980, P=0.001). Conclusions: Type Ⅳ IPN is more serious than the other three types. It causes longer length of stay and more hospitalization expenses. The step-up approach is safe and effective in the treatment of IPN. However, for infected lesions which are deep in place,difficult to reach by conventional drainage methods, or mainly exhibit "dry necrosis", choosing the step-jump approach is a more positive choice.

This study aimed to systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of different Chinese medicine injections combined with conventional western medicine for stable angina pectoris. PubMed, Cochrane Library, EMbase, Web of Science, CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, and SinoMed were searched to collect randomized controlled trial(RCT) of Chinese medicine injection combined with conventio-nal western medicine in the treatment of stable angina pectoris from the inception of the databases to July 8, 2022. Two researchers independently screened the literature, extracted the data, and evaluated the risk of bias of the included studies. Stata 15.1 was used for network Meta-analysis. A total of 52 RCTs were included, involving 4 828 patients treated by 9 Chinese medicine injections(Danhong Injection, Salvia Miltiorrhiza Polyphenol Hydrochloride Injection, Tanshinone Sodium Ⅱ_A Sulfonate Injection, Salvia Miltiorrhiza Ligustrazine Injection, Dazhu Hongjingtian Injection, Puerarin Injection, Safflower Yellow Pigment Injection, Shenmai Injection and Xuesaitong Injection). The network Meta-analysis showed that:(1)in terms of improving the efficacy of angina pectoris, the surface under the cumulative ranking curve(SUCRA) followed the order of conventional western medicine combined with Salvia Miltiorrhiza Ligustrazine Injection>Tanshinone Sodium Ⅱ_A Sulfonate Injection>Danhong Injection>Salvia Miltiorrhiza Polyphenol Hydrochloride Injection>Xuesaitong Injection>Shenmai Injection>Puerarin Injection>Safflower Yellow Pigment Injection>Dazhu Hongjingtian Injection;(2)in terms of improving the efficacy of electrocardiogram(ECG), SUCRA followed the order of conventional western medicine combined with Salvia Miltiorrhiza Ligustrazine Injection>Puerarin Injection>Danhong Injection>Salvia Miltiorrhiza Polyphenol Hydrochloride Injection>Shenmai Injection>Xuesaitong Injection>Safflower Yellow Pigment Injection>Tanshinone Sodium Ⅱ_A Sulfonate Injection>Dazhu Hongjingtian Injection;(3)in terms of increasing high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C), SUCRA followed the order of conventional western medicine combined with Danhong Injection>Shenmai Injection>Safflower Yellow Pigment Injection>Xuesaitong Injection>Tanshinone Sodium Ⅱ_A Sulfonate Injection>Dazhu Hongjingtian Injection;(4)in terms of lowering low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C), SUCRA followed the order of conventional western medicine combined with Safflower Yellow Pigment Injection>Danhong Injection>Shenmai Injection>Tanshinone Sodium Ⅱ_A Sulfonate Injection>Dazhu Hongjingtian Injection>Xuesaitong Injection;(5)in terms of safety, the overall adverse reactions of Chinese medicine injection combined with conventional western medicine were less than those of the control group. Current evidence indicated that Chinese medicine injection combined with conventional western medicine could improve the curative effect of stable angina pectoris with higher safety. Limited by the number and quality of included studies, the above conclusion needed to be verified by more high-quality studies.
