Objective:To investigate the influence of serum C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 9 (CXCL9) and C-X3-C motif chemokine ligand 1 (CX3CL1) on the development of preeclampsia in patients with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 398 GDM patients admitted to Huangshi Aikang Hospital from January 2021 to August 2024. Based on the occurrence of preeclampsia, patients were divided into the GDM-preeclampsia group (51 cases) and the simple GDM group (347 cases). The baseline data, blood glucose indicators, four lipid items, platelet count (PLT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), blood urea nitrogen, serum creatinine, and 24-hour urinary protein quantification were compared between the two groups. The influencing factors for GDM complicated by preeclampsia were analyzed, and the predictive value of serum CXCL9 and CX3CL1 for the onset of preeclampsia in GDM patients was assessed. Measurement data with a normal distribution were expressed as Mean ± SD, and the t'-test was used for intergroup comparisons when variances were unequal; measurement data with a skewed distribution were expressed as M ( Q1, Q3), and the Wilcoxon rank-sum test was used for intergroup comparisons; counting data were expressed as case (%), and the χ2 test was used for intergroup comparisons. Unconditional logistic regression models were used to analyze the risk factors for preeclampsia in GDM patients. The predictive value of serum CXCL9 and CX3CL1 levels for preeclampsia in GDM patients was analyzed using the receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve. Results:Pre-pregnancy body mass index, glycated hemoglobin, and 24-hour urinary protein quantification in the GDM-preeclampsia group [(24.50±3.74) kg/m 2, (5.68±0.52)%, 0.42 (0.17, 0.69) g] were all higher than those in the simple GDM group [(22.70±2.97) kg/m 2, (5.42±0.44)%, 0.30 (0.10, 0.44) g], with statistically significant differences between groups (statistic values: t'=3.90, t'=3.85, U=2.70; P values: <0.001, <0.001, 0.007, respectively). Serum CXCL9 levels in the GDM-preeclampsia group [(111.69±36.65) ng/L] were lower than those in the simple GDM group [(200.16±85.57) ng/L], while CX3CL1 levels [(2.22±0.29) μg/L] were higher than those in the simple GDM group [(1.83±0.35) μg/L], with statistically significant differences ( t' values: 7.28 and 7.58, respectively; both P<0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that increased CX3CL1 ( OR=1.562, 95% CI: 1.237-1.972), decreased CXCL9 ( OR=0.979, 95% CI: 0.970-0.989), increased pre-pregnancy body mass index ( OR=1.226, 95% CI: 1.060-1.417), and increased glycated hemoglobin ( OR=3.474, 95% CI: 1.192-10.122) were associated with an increased risk of developing preeclampsia in GDM patients ( P values: <0.001, <0.001, 0.006, 0.023, respectively). The ROC curve showed that the area under the curve for serum CXCL9 (sensitivity: 88.24%, specificity: 70.89%) and CX3CL1 (sensitivity: 78.43%, specificity: 69.16%) in predicting preeclampsia in GDM patients were both >0.50 ( P values: 0.015, 0.034, respectively), indicating that both have high predictive efficacy, with CXCL9 being slightly superior to CX3CL1. Conclusion:Decreased serum CXCL9 and increased CX3CL1 are associated with an increased risk of preeclampsia in GDM patients. Both can serve as auxiliary predictive indicators for preeclampsia in GDM patients.

Objective: To investigate the current status and real performance of the detection of RUNX1-RUNX1T1 fusion transcript levels and WT1 transcript levels in China through interlaboratory comparison. Methods: Peking University People’s Hospital (PKUPH) prepared the samples for comparison. That is, the fresh RUNX1-RUNX1T1 positive (+) bone morrow nucleated cells were serially diluted with RUNX1-RUNX1T1 negative (-) nucleated cells from different patients. Totally 23 sets with 14 different samples per set were prepared. TRIzol reagent was added in each tube and thoroughly mixed with cells for homogenization. Each laboratory simultaneously tested RUNX1-RUNX1T1 and WT1 transcript levels of one set of samples by real-time quantitative PCR method. All transcript levels were reported as the percentage of RUNX1-RUNX1T1 or WT1 transcript copies/ABL copies. Spearman correlation coefficient between the reported transcript levels of each participated laboratory and those of PKUPH was calculated. Results: ①RUNX1-RUNX1T1 comparison: 9 samples were (+) and 5 were (-) , the false negative and positive rates of the 20 participated laboratories were 0 (0/180) and 5% (5/100) , respectively. The reported transcript levels of all 9 positive samples were different among laboratories. The median reported transcript levels of 9 positive samples were from 0.060% to 176.7%, which covered 3.5-log. The ratios of each sample’s highest to the lowest reported transcript levels were from 5.5 to 12.3 (one result which obviously deviated from other laboratories’ results was not included) , 85% (17/20) of the laboratories had correlation coefficient ≥0.98. ②WT1 comparison: The median reported transcript levels of all 14 samples were from 0.17% to 67.6%, which covered 2.6-log. The ratios of each sample’s highest to the lowest reported transcript levels were from 5.3-13.7, 62% (13/21) of the laboratories had correlation coefficient ≥0.98. ③ The relative relationship of the reported RUNX1-RUNX1T1 transcript levels between the participants and PKUPH was not always consistent with that of WT1 transcript levels. Both RUNX1-RUNX1T1 and WT1 transcript levels from 2 and 7 laboratories were individually lower than and higher than those of PKUPH, whereas for the rest 11 laboratories, one transcript level was higher than and the other was lower than that of PKUPH. Conclusion The reported RUNX1-RUNX1T1 and WT1 transcript levels were different among laboratories for the same sample. Most of the participated laboratories reported highly consistent result with that of PKUPH. The relationship between laboratories of the different transcript levels may not be the same.

Objective:To explore the feasibility and stability of using oleic acid to establish acute respiratory distress syndrome(ARDS) model in Beagle dogs.Methods:A total of 25 Beagle dogs were injected oleic acid with a speed of 0.25?0.03ml/Kg through jugular vein after being anesthetized.The gas ventilation index,oxygen metabolism,histopathological changes,chest-ray scan and stability of each index after establishing the ARDS situation were continuously monitored and evaluated.Results:All 25 dogs were reached the diagnosis criteria of ARDS in 4.16?0.92 hours after injection of oleic acid,The arterial PaCO2 of the animals was 27.98?8.25mmHg,PaO2 was 65.40?11.48mmHg,and PaO2/FiO2 was 182.3?29.6.After mechanical ventilation treatment,PaO2/FiO2≤200.Pulmonary mesenchyme,and alveolus edema,bleeding,shrinkage and transparent formation were seen under microscope.There was darkness or coarse shadow in the lung by the X-ray scan.Conclusions:Through injection of oleic acid via jugular vein,a Beagle dog ARDS model may be quickly established with stable changes of hemodynamics,pulmonary mechanics and histology.
