MLL3 is also known as lysine methyltransferase 2C (KMT2C). The mutation of MLL3 can occur in a variety of human cancers, including leukemia, liver cancer, and stomach cancer. The effect of MLL3 in different cancers is also different, for example, MLL3 is carcinogenic in pancreatic and liver cancer, while it acts as a tumor suppressor in acute myeloid leukemia and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. The effects of genes in tumors depend on certain environment and conditions, and the mechanism of the suppressive effect of MLL3 in leukemia is still not clear. This paper reviews the research progress of the antitumor mechanism of MLL3 in leukemia.

Objective:To investigate the level and clinical significance of peripheral blood CD4 +T cell subpopulations in late-onset systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients. Methods:This study included 260 SLE patients hospitalized in the Rheumatology and Immunology Department of the Second Hospital of Shanxi Medical University from January 2016 to December 2021: of whom 58 and 202 were late- (≥50 years) and adult-(18~49 years) onset patients. This study also included 160 subjeces as healthy controls(HCs), of whom 35 and 125 were Control Group 1 (≥50 years) and Control Group 2 (18~49 years). Peripheral blood CD4 +T lymphocyte subsets of these participants were assessed by flow cytometry. The clinical data of all patients and healthy controls (HCs)were recorded. The differences between the groups were analyzed by Mann-Whitney U test or χ2 test. Results:(1)The time of diagnosis of late-onset SLE was longer than that of adult-onset SLE [Median time: 5.0 (2.0, 24.0)months vs 3.0 (1.0, 7.3)months, Z=-3.13, P=0.002]. Compared with adult-onset SLE, the SLEDAI score of late-onset SLE was lower [12.0 (8.0, 15.2) vs 14.0 (10.0, 18.0), Z=-2.12, P=0.034]. Some manifestations occurred more frequently in late-onset SLE, such as weight loss, nausea, abdominal pain, cerebral infarction, interstitial pneumonitis, Sj?gren′s syndrome and infection. The manifestations of skin and mucos a occurred less frequently in late-onset SLE. (2)CD4 +T cell subpopulations: ①The absolute counts of Treg, Th17, Th1 and Th2 cells in the peripheral blood of patients with late-onset SLE were significantly lower than those of HCs [Treg: 10.94 (6.14, 19.23) vs 32.65 (28.07, 41.65), Z=-6.79, P<0.001; Th17: 3.43 (0.94, 5.64) vs 6.13 (3.77, 7.82), Z=-3.24, P=0.001; Th1: 36.02 (10.80, 76.38) vs 128.70(89.82, 159.89), Z=-5.29, P<0.001; Th2:3.56 (1.56, 6.06) vs 8.25 (4.69, 12.98), Z=-4.57, P<0.001]. The ratio of Th17/Treg cells was higher than that of HCs[0.28(0.13, 0.59) vs 0.17 (0.12, 0.28), Z=-2.38, P=0.017].②The absolute counts of Treg, Th17, Th1 and Th2 cells in peripheral blood of patients with adult-onset SLE were significantly lower than those of HCs [Treg: 10.28 (5.37, 17.04) vs.30.19 (21.20, 39.75), Z=-11.28, P<0.001; Th17: 3.44 (1.84, 6.14) vs 6.48 (4.23, 10.66), Z=-6.53, P<0.001; Th1: 29.59(15.14, 56.81) vs 90.75(42.67, 162.00), Z=-7.01, P<0.001; Th2: 2.74 (1.62, 4.77) vs 8.25 (4.75, 11.99), Z=-9.91, P<0.001]. The ratio of Th17/Treg was higher than that of HCs[0.35 (0.17, 0.65) vs 0.23(0.14, 0.37), Z=-3.89, P<0.001].③The ratios of Th17/Treg in patients with late-and adult-onset SLE were higher than those of HCs. The ratio of Th17/Treg was the highest in adult-onset SLE patients. Conclusion:Patients with late-onset SLE have reduced numbers of Treg cells and the immune imbalanced of Th17/Treg. However, the immune imbalance of Th17/Treg in late-onset SLE patients is milder than that in adult-onset SLE patients, which may be related to lower disease activity.

Objective:To investigate the level of peripheral blood regulatory T cells in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD) and its clinical significance.Methods:A total of 191 patients with RA in the Department of Rheumatology and Immunology, the Second Affiliated Hospital of Shanxi Medical University and 86 healthy controls (HCs) were enrolled from January 2019 to January 2021. All peripheral blood CD4 + T lymphocyte subsets of participants were assessed by flow cytometry. Patients were divided into RA-CVD group ( n=71) and RA only group ( n=120) and their clinical data were recorded. The differences between the groups were analyzed by Independent-Samples t test, Mann-Whitney U test or χ2 test, and risk factors that affected CVD were analyzed using Logistic regression. Results:① The age of patients and the proportion of male patients in the RA-CVD group were significantly higher than those in the RA only group [age: (64±10) years old vs (56±12) years old, t=-4.16, P<0.001; male patients: 35 cases vs 31 cases, χ2=10.86, P=0.001]. ② The level of Treg cells in the peripheral blood of patients with RA only and RA-CVD groups was significantly lower than that of HCs ( Z=-4.14, P<0.001; Z=-6.27, P<0.001), while the numbers of peripheral Th17 cells in the two groups of patients were not significantly different from those of HCs ( P>0.05). The ratios of Th17/Treg cells in the two group patients were higher than those of HCs, but only the difference between RA-CVD patients and HCs was significant ( Z=-5.49, P<0.001). ③ Compared with the RA only group, the absolute number of Treg cells in peripheral blood of RA-CVD group was significantly lower [19.00(13.62, 26.73) vs 24.94 (19.32, 34.12), Z=-3.19, P=0.001], the level of Th17 cells was significantly higher [absolute number: 7.77 (3.86, 13.64) cell/μl vs 5.59 (3.49, 8.91) cells/μl, Z=-2.14, P=0.033; percentage: 1.37%(0.78, 2.00)% vs 0.80%(0.56, 1.24)%, Z=-4.20, P<0.001], and the ratio of Th17/Treg cells was significantly higher [0.40(0.24, 0.62) vs 0.23(0.14, 0.35), Z=-4.46, P<0.001]. ④ Logistic regression analysis showed that Treg cell [ OR(95% CI)=0.934 (0.903, 0.967)] was a protective factor, while elder age [ OR(95% CI)=1.038(1.003, 1.074), male [ OR(95% CI)=2.450(1.005, 5.973)], hypertension [ OR(95% CI)=2.654 (1.219, 5.779)] and Th17 cell [ OR (95% CI)=1.066 (1.019, 1.116)] were risk factors of RA complicated with CVD. Conclusion:The level of Treg cells in peripheral blood of RA patients with CVD decreases significantly, and the immune imbalance of Th17/Treg is more singificant than that of RA patients without CVD. It is suggested that the immune imbalance and dysfunction caused by the number and/or functional deficiency of Treg cells may be involved in the occurrence and development of RA complicated with CVD.

Objective:To investigate the characteristics of lymphocyte subsets in peripheral blood of patients with immunoglobulin G4-related disease (IgG4-RD) and the correlation between T helper 17 cell (Th17)/regulatory T cells (Treg) cell imbalance and cytokines.Methods:A total of 31 patients with IgG4-RD who were admitted to the Rheumatology and Immunology Department of the Second Hospital of Shanxi Medical University from January 2016 to June 2020 were included. We collected their clinical and laboratory data, and selected 30 age and sex matched healthy people as the control group. Flow cytometry was used to detect the percentage and absolute number of lymphocyte subsets [T, B, natural killer cell (NK), CD4 +T, CD8 +T] and CD4 +T subsets [Th1, Th2, Th17, CD4 +CD25 +forkhead box protein 3 (Foxp3) +Treg] in peripheral blood of IgG4-RD patients and healthy controls. The serum interleukin (IL)-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, IL-17, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and interferon (IFN)-γ levels in the IgG4-RD patients were measured by cytometric bead array (CBA). Correlation between Th17/Treg ratio and disease-related indicators was also analyzed. We used χ2 test, Mann-Whitney U test and Spearman correlation analysis for statistical analysis. Results:① The percentage of CD4 +T cells in the peripheral blood of IgG4-RD patients was higher than that of healthy controls [45.00%(33.97%, 51.48%) vs 39.36%(33.78%, 43.30%), Z=-2.142, P<0.05]. ② The percentage and absolute number of Th17 cells was increased in IgG4-RD patients [1.13%(0.70%, 1.55%) vs 0.77%(0.43%, 1.07%), Z=-2.229, P<0.05; 7.90(5.20, 12.23) cells/μl vs 5.60(3.12, 8.47) cells/μl, Z=-2.568, P<0.05], while the percentage of Treg cells was decreased [3.37%(2.82%, 5.65%) vs 4.96%(4.18%, 6.34%), Z=-2.986, P<0.01]. But the number of Treg cells showed no difference between the two groups. ③ Th17/Treg ratio was significantly increased in IgG4-RD patients [0.29(0.16, 0.46) vs 0.15(0.08, 0.23), Z=-3.119, P<0.01], and it was positively correlated with IgG4-RD response index score ( r=0.491, P<0.01). ④ Serum IL-6 [13.72(9.29, 26.06) pg/ml vs 2.23(1.94, 3.10) pg/ml, Z=-4.815, P<0.01], IL-10 [5.46(4.28, 15.38) pg/ml vs 1.81(1.59, 2.02) pg/ml, Z=-5.298, P<0.01], TNF-α [4.25(1.47, 7.26) pg/ml vs 1.15(1.05, 1.45) pg/ml, Z=-3.146, P<0.01] and IFN-γ [3.89(1.76, 6.61) pg/ml vs 1.41(1.24, 1.65) pg/ml, Z=-3.172, P<0.01] in IgG4-RD group were significantly higher than those in healthy control group. Moreover, Th17/Treg ratio was negatively correlated with IL-2 level ( r=-0.554, P<0.05). Conclusion:Th17/Treg disorder exists in IgG4-RD patients, and it is related to disease activity, indicating that Th17/Treg imbalance may be an important mechanism in IgG4-RD. IL-2 plays an important role in regulating Th17/Treg balance and may be a potential immunotherapy target in future.

Objective To investigate the imaging findings of oblique vaginal septum syndrome and its diagnostic value.Methods Clinical and radiographic data of 13 patients with oblique vaginal septum syndrome were analyzed retrospectively and relevant literatures were reviewed.All 13 patients underwent ultrasonography examination preoperatively,and 8 of them underwent MRI examination,and 3 patients underwent CT examination as well.The position of the oblique septum,the size of the cavity in the rear of oblique septum, the positional relationship between the cavity in the rear of oblique septum and the cervix,and the concomitant changes of the uterine appendages and urinary system were analyzed.Results The ultrasonography and MRI examinations all manifested as uterus didelphys,cervix duplex,double vagina and obstructed hemivagina,and oblique septum originated from the middle of cervix duplex and attached to one side of the vaginal wall,shielding the ipsilateral cervix;oblique vaginal septum was on the right side in 4 cases and on the left side in 9 cases;the average volume of the cavity in the rear of oblique septum in 6 cases of type Ⅰ was 255 mL,and the average volume in 6 cases of type Ⅱ was 74 mL,and the volume in 1 case of type Ⅲ was 56 mL;2 cases were combined with ipsilateral hematosalpinx and 1 case was combined with a chocolate cyst of ipsilateral ovary;12 cases were accompanied with ipsilateral renal agenesis and 1 case was accompanied with ipsilateral renal hypoplasia.CT examinations of 3 cases all presented as uterus didelphys,a cystic hypodensity lesion under unilateral cervix and ipsilateral renal agenesis.Conclusion Imaging findings of oblique vaginal septum syndrome are quite characteristic. Ultrasonography,CT and MRI examinations have certain value for accurate diagnosis of the disease.

Objective To explore the effect of prevention intraoperative hypothermia of different heat preservation measures during craniotomy cerebroma resection surgery in the department of neurosurgery. Methods According to the inclusion criteria, a total of 90 patients with craniocerebral surgery were recruited and randomly divided into A, B, C groups with random number table method, and 30 patients in each group. And the three groups were respectively given different heat preservation measures of regular cover, regular cover with infusion heating, regular cover with force-air warming. Meanwhile the rectal temperatures of just entered into the operating room, immediately after anesthesia induction and every 30 minutes after induction of anesthesia, as well as the HR, BP, the amount of infusion and flushing liquor, operation time, incidence of chills during operation, the condition of surgical site infection and hospitalization days were recorded and analyzed statistically by means of the software of SPSS 13.0. Results Rectal temperatures of the three groups were no statistically significant difference (P>0.05) ,when the patients just were moved into the operating room, immediately after anesthesia induction and 0.5 h、1 h after anesthesia induction. The rectal temperatures of the three groups had statistically significant difference (P<0.05) from the 1.5h after anesthesia induction to the end of the surgery.The incidence rates of introperative hypothermia and chill of group C were 26.7%(8/30)and10.0% (3/30),lower than group A and group B:60.0%(18/30), 33.3%(10/30)and 53.3%(16/30), 13.3%(4/30), meanwhile the statistically significant difference was found in these three groups (χ2=7.500, P=0.024;χ2=6.237, P=0.044).The volume of intraoperative blood loss and transfusion were 200(100, 300), 45(0, 60) ml, which lower than group A and group B:300(200, 525), 215(0, 400) ml and 250(150, 500), 120(0, 200) ml, and statistically significant difference was also found in these three groups(H=7.612, P=0.022;H=6.194, P=0.045). Conclusions Regular cover with force-air warming can effectively reduce the incidence of intraoperative hypothermia and chills of craniotomy cerebroma resection patients in the department of neurosurgery and reduce intraoperative bleeding and transfusion volume, as well as ensure the effect of surgical treatment. So it′s worth popularizing in clinic.

Objective To investigate the clinical features of divergence paralysis improve the diagnostic and therapeutic ability,and evaluate the effect of surgical and non-surgical treatment.Methods It was a retrospective case series study.11 cases with complete data,diagnosed and treated as divergence paralysis in Tianjin Eye Hospital from September 2014 to January 2016,were summarized.The observation items included general date,neurologica consultation,comprehensive eye examination,and the eye position and movement,deviation degree,binocular vision,AC / A,diplopia examination of pre-treatment and post-treatment.The patients were followed up from 3 months to 1.5 yeas,averaged 6.9 months.Results In our study,1 patient was MillerFisher syndrome,3 cases had a history of hypertension,and 1 case had the history of intaking sleeping pills for about 3 months.The rest of the patients denied the nervous system disease,cardiovascular disease and other medical history.All patients complained about uncrossed diplopia only at distance.All of the 11 patients had a sudden onset of their symptoms.Each patient was examined by same neurologist,meanwhile MRI or CT were performed.All the results showed normal.All patients had refractive error.The angle of esotropia for distance of 5 meters was from + 25 △ to + 55 △ and was from + 8 △ to + 40△ for near(33 cm)before treatment while changed into-4△ ～ + 12△ for distance (5m) and to-8△ ～ +8△ for near (33 cm) after treatment.The ratio of AC / A ranged from 1.3 to 4.0,with an average of 2.6.Conclusion The clinical characteristics of divergence paralysis are a greater angle of esotropia and ipsilateral diplopia.Lateral rectns resection and non-surgical treatment have better effects on the improvement of diplopia and esotropia.
