Kidney transplant recipient (KTR) faces significant challenges in long-term survival, with the incidence of post-transplant malignancies being 2 to 3 times higher than that of the general population, making it the second leading cause of death in KTR. Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) represent an important breakthrough in malignancy treatment, significantly improving the prognosis of some malignancy patients by blocking co-inhibitory signaling molecules and activating T lymphocyte activity. However, due to concerns about the risk of rejection, solid organ transplant recipients, including KTR, are usually excluded from ICI clinical trials. Existing evidence shows that the incidence of rejection during ICI treatment can be as high as 40%-50%, with the specific mechanisms not yet clear. Therefore, how to enable KTR to effectively benefit from the anti-tumor effects of ICI while avoiding rejection is crucial. This article focuses on the core contradiction of ICI in the treatment of post-transplant malignancies in KTR, that is, the dual effects of activating anti-tumor immunity and inducing transplant kidney rejection. It systematically reviews the current clinical application status and challenges, and explores optimization strategies for the delicate balance between restoring anti-tumor immunity and triggering rejection.

Objective:To explore the effect of ear point embedding beans combined with acupoint pressing in the prevention and treatment of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) in patients with hematologic malignancies.Methods:A prospective case series study was conducted. Two hundred patients with hematological tumors who underwent chemotherapy at Fujian Medical University Affiliated Union Hospital from October 2022 to August 2023 were divided into experimental group and control group using the random number table method, with 100 patients in each group. Both groups of patients received chemotherapy with high emetic risk drugs and received routine antiemetic treatment and nursing care with tropisetron hydrochloride. The experimental group added ear point embedding beans and acupoint pressing. The Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer (MASCC) antiemesis tool (MAT) scale was used to evaluate the acute (within 24 hours after the start of chemotherapy, for 3 d) and delayed (24 hours after the end of chemotherapy, for 4 d) CINV status of patients, and the two groups were compared.Results:The final experimental group included 99 cases, while the control group included 90 cases. The age of 189 patients was (38±12) years old; there were 116 males (61.38%) and 73 females (38.62%). There were no statistically significant differences in sociodemographic characteristics (age, gender, etc.), disease type, and gastrointestinal disease history distributions between the two groups (all P>0.05). The incidence of acute nausea [81.81% (81/99) vs. 94.44% (85/90)] and delayed nausea [45.45% (45/99) vs. 78.89% (71/90)] in the experimental group were lower than those in the control group, the delayed MASCC-MAT scale nausea score [ M ( Q1, Q3)] was lower than that in the control group [0 point (0 point, 4 points) vs. 3 points (1 point, 4 points)], and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.01); there was no statistically significant difference in the acute nausea score between the experimental group and the control group [5 points (2 points, 5 points) vs. 5 points (3 points, 5 points)] ( P = 0.080). The incidence of delayed vomiting in the experimental group [25.25% (25/99) vs. 45.56% (41/90)] and the frequency of vomiting [0 time (0 time, 1 time) vs. 0 time (0 time, 2 times)] were lower than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (both P<0.01); there was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of acute vomiting between the experimental group and the control group [48.48% (48/99) vs. 61.11% (55/90)] and the frequency of vomiting [0 time (0 time, 3 times) vs. 1 time (0 time, 3 times)] (both P>0.05). Conclusions:Ear point embedding beans combined with acupoint pressing can effectively alleviate delayed CINV in patients with hematologic malignancies, and to some extent reduce the incidence of acute nausea.

With the optimization of surgical technologies and postoperative management regimens, the number of lung transplantation has been significantly increased, which has become an important treatment for patients with end-stage lung disease. However, due to the impact of comprehensive factors, such as bronchial ischemia and immunosuppression, the incidence of airway stenosis after lung transplantation is relatively high, which severely affects postoperative survival and quality of life of lung transplant recipients. In recent years, with the improvement of perioperative management, organ preservation and surgical technologies, the incidence of airway stenosis after lung transplantation has been declined, but it remains at a high level. Early diagnosis and timely intervention play a significant role in enhancing clinical prognosis of patients with airway stenosis. In this article, the general conditions, diagnosis, treatment and prevention of airway stenosis after lung transplantation were reviewed, aiming to provide reference for comprehensive management of airway stenosis after lung transplantation and improving clinical prognosis of lung transplant recipients.

Objective:To analyze the biological characteristics, phylogeny and the taxonomic status of strain 7712 (=CGMCC 1.17031=NBRC 113783=KCTC 15766) isolated from a clinical blood sample.Methods:Strain 7712 was identified by the cultural properties, cellular and colonial morphology, physiological and biochemical reactions, matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry system, and genome correlation index analysis. The genomic phylogenetic tree was construct to analyze the taxonomic position. The virulence factors and resistance genes of strain 7712 and related strains were then compared by the online virulence factor database and online comprehensive antibiotic research database respectively.Results:Strain 7712 was urease negative, gram-negative nonfermenters, which was identified as Ochrobactrum anthropi by VITEK GN card. The 16S rRNA gene analysis showed that the strain was closely related to the members of genera Ochrobactrum and Brucella. The phylogenetic tree showed that strain 7712 was clustered together with Ochrobactrum teleogrylli LCB8 T and Ochrobactrum haematophilum CCUG 38531 T, along with genus Brucella and other Ochrobactrum species. The genome relatedness indexes analysis showed that the average nucleotide identity between strain 7712 and Ochrobactrum teleogrylli LCB8 T was 98.16%, which was higher than the threshold for prokaryotic species. Genetic prediction showed that strain 7712 carried several virulence-related genes and resistance-related genes, of which the existence of OCH gene might be responsible to the resistance to cephalosporin. Conclusions:A case of human infection caused by Ochrobactrum teleogrylli is identified, which would help promote the understanding of biodiversity of genus Ochrobactrum.

Objective To evaluate the value of red cell volume distribution width(RDW)in the prognosis of patients with cardiac arrest(CA).Methods Clinical data of 146 CA patients admitted to intensive care unit(ICU)of Huzhou Central Hospital from January 2018 to October 2022 were retrospectively analyzed,and the patients were divided into survival group and death group according to the prognosis during ICU stay.The clinical data of two groups were compared,and the risk factors affecting the prognosis of CA patients were analyzed by multivariate Logistic regression.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to evaluate the predictive efficacy of RDW in CA patients.The survival curve was plotted by Kaplan-Meier method.Results A total of 146 CA patients were included in the analysis,among which 49 patients survived and 97 patients died,the mortality rate of CA patients in ICU was 66.44%.The scores of acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ,RDW,blood sodium and alanine aminotransferase in death group were significantly higher than those in survival group,the time of cardiopulmonary resuscitation was significantly longer than that in survival group,and the length of ICU stay was significantly shorter than that in survival group(P<0.05).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that RDW and time of cardiopulmonary resuscitation were independent risk factors for predicting death during ICU stay in CA patients(P<0.05).ROC curve results showed that RDW predicted death in CA patients with the area under curve of 0.742,the best cut-off value was 13.95%,the sensitivity was 59.8%,and the specificity was 85.7%.Patients with low RDW had significantly higher one-year cumulative survival rate than those with high RDW(χ2=18.757,P<0.001).Conclusion RDW was an independent risk factor for predicting death during ICU stay in CA patients.

Objective:To analyze the mutation types and distribution characteristics of thalassemia gene among high-risk populations in Sanya City, and to evaluate the effectiveness of blood routine screening, in order to provide scientific basis for formulating measures for prevention and control of thalassemia in Sanya City.Methods:Retrospective analysis was used to collect detection results and clinical data from high-risk individuals who completed genetic screening for thalassemia at Sanya Materal and Child Health Hospital from January 2019 to August 2021. Mutation types and distribution characteristics of thalassemia gene were analyzed, and the missed detection rate and sensitivity of blood routine indicators [mean corpuscular volume (MCV) and mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH)] were evaluated based on the results of genetic screening for thalassemia.Results:A total of 5 760 high-risk individuals were included in the screening results of thalassemia genes, and 3 868 samples of thalassemia gene mutations were detected, with a detection rate of 67.15%. Among them, there were 2 979 samples with α-thalassemia genetic mutations, with a detection rate of 51.72%; including 2 966 common genotype samples (99.56%), the main genotype was αα/-α 3.7 (20.14%, 600/2 979); 13 rare genotype samples (0.44%), 4 cases of αα/-- THAI, 3 cases of α CD40(AAG>AA-)α/αα, 2 cases of α PPα/αα, and 1 case of Fusion gene/αα, Fusion gene/α WSα, α WSα/α PPα, and α CD40(AAG>AA-)α/α WSα each. There were 340 samples with β-thalassemia gene mutations, with a detection rate of 5.90%; including 336 common genotype samples (98.82%). The β CD41/42/β N genotype was dominant (57.65%, 196/340); 4 rare genotype samples (1.18%), β CD5(-CT)/β N, β IVS-Ⅱ-2(-T)/β N, β IVS-Ⅱ-761(-T)/β N and β Initiation(ATG>AGG)/β N 1 case each. There were 549 samples of αβ-compound type thalassemia, with a detection rate of 9.53%. The α missing recombination β CD41/42 genotype was dominant (61.02%, 335/549). There were a total of 4 226 samples that could be traced back to MCV and MCH. Among them, 3 007 samples were found to have mutations in thalassemia genes through screening, 2 584 cases were found to have abnormalities in the combination of MCV and MCH indicators, and 423 samples were missed in blood routine screening, with a missed detection rate of 14.07% (423/3 007). The missed samples were mainly α static type, accounting for 89.13% (377/423) of the total missed samples. The screening sensitivity of MCV combined with MCH for α-, β- and αβ-compound type thalassemia was 82.65%, 98.07% and 98.15%, respectively. Conclusion:The types of genetic mutations in thalassemia in Sanya City are complex and diverse, and there are certain omissions in the blood routine screening of MCV combined with MCH.
