Background::B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA)-directed chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) therapy yield remarkable responses in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (R/RMM). Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) reportedly exhibits distinct advantages in addressing the challenges posed by tumor heterogeneity in the distribution and genetic variations in R/RMM.Methods::Herein, the ctDNA of 108 peripheral blood plasma samples from patients with R/RMM at the First Affiliated Hospital, School of Medicine, Zhejiang University was thoroughly investigated before administration of anti-BCMA CAR-T therapy to establish its predictive potential. Flow cytometry is used primarily to detect subgroups of T cells or CAR-T cells.Results::In this study, several tumor and T cell effector-mediated factors were considered to be related to treatment failure by an integrat analysis, including higher percentages of multiple myeloma (MM) cells in the bone marrow ( P = 0.0125), lower percentages of CAR-T cells in the peripheral blood at peak ( P = 0.0375), and higher percentages of CD8 + T cells ( P = 0.0340). Furthermore, there is a substantial correlation between high ctDNA level (>143 ng/mL) and shorter progression-free survival (PFS) ( P = 0.007). Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that high levels of ctDNA (>143 ng/mL), MM-driven high-risk mutations (including IGLL5 [ P = 0.004], IRF4 [ P = 0.024], and CREBBP [ P = 0.041]), number of multisite mutations, and resistance-related mutation ( ERBB4, P = 0.040) were independent risk factors for PFS. Conclusion::Finally, a ctDNA-based risk model was built based on the above independent risk factors, which serves as an adjunct non-invasive measure of substantial tumor burden and a prognostic genetic feature that can assist in predicting the response to anti-BCMA CAR-T therapy.

Objective:To explore the lifestyle pattern of the physical examination population and analyze its association with metabolic associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD).Methods:This was a cross-sectional study. Based on the data of 196 515 physical examination individuals from the Health Management Center of the Third Xiangya Hospital of Central South University from January 2016 to December 2020, the subjects were grouped and characterized by principal component analysis and cluster analysis. Among them, 137 277 cases with MAFLD diagnosis information were included in the association analysis between lifestyle pattern and MAFLD. The differences in lifestyle pattern choice among different age, sex, education level, marital status, occupational category and medical insurance type and their differences with the risk of MAFLD were analyzed. The generalized linear mixed model was used to control confounding factors and then association analysis was conducted.Results:There were 6 types of lifestyle patterns in the physical examination population, which were respectively: indulgent type-both physical and mental damage, remedial type-excessive diet, giving type-unique intensity, comfortable type-natural health, heavy smoking type-sedentary injury, heavy drinking type-attempting to make up, accounting for 7.29%, 9.62%, 7.43%, 52.16%, 9.77%, 13.73% in the population. Among them, the male lifestyle pattern was mainly the indulgent type, the remedial type, the heavy smoking type and the heavy drinking type, showing the characteristics of unhealthy lifestyle pattern; Women tended to have healthier lifestyle patterns. After association analysis with MAFLD, it was found that the prevalence of MAFLD was more than 50% in the people who belonged to the indulgent type, remedial type, the heavy smoking type and the heavy drinking type (53.62%, 57.06%, 51.25% and 50.50%, respectively), and the prevalence of MAFLD in the giving type group was 40.17%. The risk of MAFLD in comfortable group was relatively low (28.25%), and the difference in risk of MAFLD among all modes was statistically significant after controlling for confounding factors ( P<0.001). Conclusion:According to cluster mining, there are 6 types of lifestyle patterns in the physical examination population, and the healthier lifestyle pattern has a lower risk of MAFLD.

Bipolar disorder in children, a serious mental illness, often leads to significant functional impairment. Bipolar disorder onset in children is rare and is difficult to diagnose correctly due to the atypical clinical manifestations. Risperidone, as a second-generation antipsychotic, shows satisfied efficacy in children with bipolar disorder with dual effects on mood stabilization and psychotic symptom control. However, the long-term efficacy and safety of risperidone for the treatment of children with bipolar disorder remains unknown. This paper reports a 5-year-old child with bipolar disorder who was treated with low-dose risperidone and followed up for 4 years. The child showed significant emotional stabilization and behavioral improvement at the beginning of treatment. No serious side effects occurred during long-term follow-up. This paper detailly describes the clinical manifestations and diagnostic process of bipolar disorder onset in children in aspects of detailed clinical observation and evaluation. It summarizes the efficacy and safety of risperidone in the treatment of pediatric bipolar disorder to provide valuable experience for clinicians.

Objective:To analyze the clinical characteristics of a case of CNNM2 gene heterozygous mutation causing hypomagnesemia epilepsy mental retardation (HOMGSMR1) [MIM: 616418] in a child, and explore the association between genotype and phenotype.Methods:We followed up and retrospectively analyzed the clinical characteristics of a case of HOMGSMR1 caused by CNNM2 gene heterozygous mutation treated at Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital of Liuyang. Through whole exome sequencing of the family and bioinformatics analysis of the original data, we consulted databases and literature materials such as Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM), ClinVar, gnomAD, GeneReviews, Pubmed, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), The American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) guidelines were used to rate heterozygous deletion mutations in the locked CNNM2 gene.Results:Patient, male, 3 months and 18 days old, mother gave birth to 1 child with 1 pregnancy, recurrent convulsions for more than 10 days, and multiple tests showed that blood magnesium levels were below normal, fluctuating between 0.51-0.55 mmol/L; After oral administration of " oxcarbazepine" and " magnesium sulfate", convulsions improved and blood magnesium concentration increased, but remained below normal, with the highest being 0.61 mmol/L. The sequencing results of the whole exome display of the family showed that the child carried a heterozygous deletion mutation in the exon region of the CNNM2 gene (c.838_843delATGGCCp. M280-A281del), which was not detected in their parents, indicating a new mutation. The large-scale population frequency database gnomAD did not include this mutation, and no literature reported this mutation. According to the ACMG guidelines, it was rated as a suspected pathogenic variant. The pathogenic variation of this gene can lead to autosomal dominant HOMGSMR1, which was consistent with genetic patterns.Conclusions:CNNM2 gene c. 838_ 843delATGGCC (p.M280_A281del) is a suspected pathogenic variant in this patient, with genotype and phenotype matching and heterozygous mutations following genetic patterns. Autosomal dominant inheritance is the molecular cause of clinical manifestations in this patient, and it is an unreported novel mutation.

ObjectiveTo study the clinical efficacy of dapagliflozin combined with Shexiang Baoxinwan (SXBXW) in the treatment of acute heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and syndrome of Qi deficiency and blood stasis. MethodA total of 176 patients hospitalized due to acute HFrEF (syndrome of Qi deficiency and blood stasis) were selected and randomized into control group, SXBXW group, dapagliflozin group, and SXBXW + dapagliflozin group (the latter three groups were called the intervention groups). The New York Heart Association (NYHA) class, 6-minute walk test (6MWT) score, Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ) score, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome score, N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), soluble suppression of tumorigenicity 2 (sST2), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and hypersensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) of the patients were evaluated and measured at the time of admission, 1 week after treatment, and 2 weeks of treatment. Furthermore, the hospital stay, in-hospital mortality, and 30-day re-admission rate were recorded. Statistical analysis was performed to evaluate the efficacy of each group. ResultAfter 1 week of treatment, the SXBXW group exhibited superior NYHA class, KCCQ score, TCM syndrome score and curative effect, IL-6, and hs-CRP to the control group (P<0.05, P<0.01). After 2 weeks of treatment, the SXBXW group showed superior TCM syndrome score, TCM curative effect, and hs-CRP (P<0.05, P<0.01) to the control group. The dapagliflozin group was superior to the control group in terms of TCM syndrome score, NT-proBNP, and sST2 (P<0.05, P<0.01) after 1 week of treatment and in terms of NYHA class, KCCQ score, NT-proBNP, sST2, and hospital stay (P<0.05, P<0.01) after 2 weeks of treatment. The SXBXW + dapagliflozin group exhibited better efficacy than the control group in terms of NYHA class, 6MWT score, KCCQ score, TCM syndrome score and curative effect, NT-proBNP, sST2, IL-6, and hs-CRP (P=0.014) after 1 week of treatment and in terms of NYHA class, KCCQ score, TCM syndrome score and curative effect, NT-proBNP, sST2, IL-6, hs-CRP, and hospital stay (P<0.01) after 2 weeks of treatment. ConclusionSXBXW and dapagliflozin have good therapeutic effect on acute HFrEF and syndrome of Qi deficiency and blood stasis, and their combination demonstrated better therapeutic effect, with good safety and tolerability.

Objective:To systematic review the efficacy and safety of external application of traditional Chinese medicine on treatment of breast cancer related lymphedema.Methods:CNKI, Wanfang Data, VIP, Sino-Med, The Cochrane Library, PubMed, Web of Science were searched for related randomized controlled trials, the retrieval time was from inception to May 25, 2020. Two researchers independently screened and evaluated the included studies. Meta-analysis was performed by RevMan 5.4 software.Results:A total of 16 studies involving 1 315 patients with breast cancer related lymphedema were included, and the methodological quality of the included studies was not high. Compared with conventional treatment, external application of traditional Chinese medicine combined with conventional treatment had advantages in improving the total efficiency( P<0.01) and quality of life( P<0.01), reducing pain( P<0.01) and improving upper limb function( P<0.01), without obvious adverse reactions( P>0.05), but there was no improvement in depression( P>0.05). Compared with conventional treatment, external application of traditional Chinese medicine could improve the total efficiency( P<0.01). Compared with placebo sticker combined with conventional treatment, external application of traditional Chinese medicine combined with conventional treatment can reduce circumference( P<0.05) and reduce pain( P<0.01), without obvious adverse reactions( P>0.05). Conclusions:Available evidence suggests that external application of traditional Chinese medicine may be a potential treatment method for breast cancer related lymphedema. Due to the poor methodological quality of the included studies, high-quality randomized controlled trials are still needed.
