Intraoperative cell salvage (IOCS) has been widely applied as an important blood conservation measure in surgical operations. However, there is currently a lack of clinical practice guidelines for the implementation of IOCS in patients with malignant tumors. This report aims to provide clinicians with recommendations on the use of IOCS in patients with malignant tumors based on the review and assessment of the existed evidence. Data were derived from databases such as PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library and Wanfang. The guideline development team formulated recommendations based on the quality of evidence, balance of benefits and harms, patient preferences, and health economic assessments. This study constructed seven major clinical questions. The main conclusions of this guideline are as follows: 1) Compared with no perioperative allogeneic blood transfusion (NPABT), perioperative allogeneic blood transfusion (PABT) leads to a more unfavorable prognosis in cancer patients (Recommended); 2) Compared with the transfusion of allogeneic blood or no transfusion, IOCS does not lead to a more unfavorable prognosis in cancer patients (Recommended); 3) The implementation of IOCS in cancer patients is economically feasible (Recommended); 4) Leukocyte depletion filters (LDF) should be used when implementing IOCS in cancer patients (Strongly Recommended); 5) Irradiation treatment of autologous blood to be reinfused can be used when implementing IOCS in cancer patients (Recommended); 6) A careful assessment of the condition of cancer patients (meeting indications and excluding contraindications) should be conducted before implementing IOCS (Strongly Recommended); 7) Informed consent from cancer patients should be obtained when implementing IOCS, with a thorough pre-assessment of the patient's condition and the likelihood of blood loss, adherence to standardized internally audited management procedures, meeting corresponding conditions, and obtaining corresponding qualifications (Recommended). In brief, current evidence indicates that IOCS can be implemented for some malignant tumor patients who need allogeneic blood transfusion after physician full evaluation, and LDF or irradiation should be used during the implementation process.

ObjectiveTo understand the measles, rubella, and mumps antibody seroprevalence among the children aged 18 years and younger in Karamay City, and to evaluate the effectiveness of vaccination. MethodsA stratified whole cluster random sampling method was used to investigate the antibody seroprevalence of measles, rubella, and mumps among the healthy children aged 18 years and younger in Karamay City, and to further analyze the positive antibody rates and the geometric mean concentration (GMC) of antibodies. ResultsA total of 620 people were investigated, and the positive rates of IgG to measles, rubella, and mumps were 72.74%,62.26%, and 86.45%, respectively, with a GMC of308.94 mIU·mL^-1, 21.81 mIU·mL^-1, and 249.10 U·mL^-1. There were statistically significant differences in the positive rates of antibodies to measles, rubella, and mumps among different age groups (χ²_measles=76.707, P<0.001; χ²_rubella=60.804, P<0.001; χ²_mumps=35.407, P<0.001). The differences in positive rates were statistically significant among individuals with different intervals from the time of their last dose vaccination (χ²_measles=60.533, P<0.001; χ²_rubella=46.331, P<0.001; χ²_mumps=22.825, P<0.001). ConclusionThe antibody levels of measles, rubella and mumps among the people aged 18 years and younger in Karamay City are found to be low. Two doses of measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine should be given to children born before 2020, and if necessary, supplementary immunization with MMR vaccine should be carried out before they are enrolled in nursery and kindergarten. Additionally, regular population-based antibody surveillance should be conducted to promptly identify the people with weak immunity, which is conducive to effectively reducing and controlling the epidemic situation of measles, rubella and mumps in schools.

Aim To evaluate the effect of Pien Tze Huang(PTH)on influenza virus susceptibility in re-straint stress-induced H1N1 influenza susceptibility model in mice with emotional disorders and internal heat,guided by the theory of emotional pathogenesis.Methods Mice were infected with H1N1 influenza vi-rus following 18 h of restraint stress.The signs and weight changes of mice were recorded,and the morbid-ity of mice were analyzed.On the fourth day post viral infection,the lung tissue was collected.The pathologi-cal changes and inflammatory factors in lungs were de-tected by HE staining.The expression of NP was as-sessed by immunohistochemistry and Western blot.The level of lipid peroxidation end products was detected u-sing a commercial kit and western blot.Redox phos-pholipidomics was analyzed in lung tissue by HPLC-MS/MS.Results PTH significantly reduced the mor-tality of influenza-susceptible mice induced by emotion-al stress,inhibited the expression of NP and the re-lease of inflammatory factors,improved inflammation in lung tissue,and alleviated the accumulation of lipid peroxidation end products.Phospholipid oxidation a-nalysis revealed the elevated levels of oxidized phos-pholipid choline and phosphatidylethanolamine in lung tissue of influenza-susceptible mice,which were signif-icantly reduced by PTH administration.Conclusions PTH exhibits promising efficacy in ameliorating influ-enza virus susceptibility induced by internal heat,and its mechanism of action may be related to the regulation of phospholipid peroxidation.

NLRP3 can recruit proteins such as ASC and pro-caspase1 to form NLRP3 inflammasomes after being stimulated by pathogen and danger signals in vivo,and then induce pyropto-sis and promote the inflammatory reactions to maintain the home-ostasis.However,the overactivation of NLRP3 inflammasomes is closely related to many inflammatory and autoimmune diseases in humans.Targeted inhibition of NLRP3 inflammasomes can sig-nificantly inhibit inflammation and alleviate the relative symp-toms.Therefore,it is an important research direction for treating diseases of NLRP3 inflammasome that searching for effective in-hibitors targeting NLRP3 inflammasome activation and achieving clinical transformation.This review summarizes the latest re-search progress based on the sources of NLRP3 inflammasome inhibitors.

Objective To monitor the antifungal resistance of clinical isolates of Candida spp.in the East China region.Methods MALDI-TOF MS or molecular methods were used to re-identify the strains collected from January 2018 to December 2022.Antifungal susceptibility testing was performed using the broth microdilution method.The susceptibility test results were interpreted according to the breakpoints of 2022 Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute(CLSI)documents M27 M44s-Ed3 and M57s-Ed4.Results A total of 3 026 strains of Candida were collected,65.33％of which were isolated from sterile body sites,mainly from blood(38.86％)and pleural effusion/ascites(10.21％).The predominant species of Candida were Candida albicans(44.51％),followed by Candida parapsilosis complex(19.46％),Candida tropicalis(13.98％),Candida glabrata(10.34％),and other Candida species(0.79％).Candida albicans showed overall high susceptibility rates to the 10 antifungal drugs tested(the lowest rate being 93.62％).Only 2.97％of the strains showed dose-dependent susceptibility(SDD)to fluconazole.Candida parapsilosis complex had a SDD rate of 2.61％and a resistance rate of 9.42％to fluconazole,and susceptibility rates above 90％to other drugs.Candida glabrata had a SDD rate of 92.01％and a resistance rate of 7.99％to fluconazole,resistance rates of 32.27％and 48.24％to posaconazole and voriconazole non-wild-type strains(NWT),respectively,and susceptibility rates above 90％to other drugs.Candida tropicalis had resistance rates of 29.55％and 26.24％to fluconazole and voriconazole,respectively,resistance rates of 76.60％and 21.99％to posaconazole and echinocandins non-wild-type strains(NWT),and a resistance rate of 2.36％to echinocandins.Conclusions The prevalence and species distribution of Candida spp.in the East China region are consistent with previous domestic and international reports.Candida glabrata exhibits certain degree of resistance to fluconazole,while Candida tropicalis demonstrates higher resistance to triazole drugs.Additionally,echinocandins resistance has emerged in Candida albicans,Candida glabrata,Candida tropicalis,and Candida parapsilosis.

This study was aimed at exploring the epidemiological characteristics of plague,and the evolutionary relation-ships among the isolated plague strains in the Yunnan border area,to provide clues for further studying epidemic causes and ep-idemiological patterns.Plague epidemic data in the border area during the second epidemic period(1982-2007)were collected and analyzed with descriptive epidemiological methods.Whole genome sequences of 262 strains of Yersinia pestis in the border area were obtained for phylogenetic analysis.Plague outbreaks occurred in 17 counties(cities)among 25 border counties(cit-ies);a total of 552 epidemic foci and 123 human cases were identified.The 1.ORI2,1.ORI3,1.IN3,2.ANT and 2.MED geno-types were identified among Yersinia pestis isolated from the Yunnan border area,among which the 1.ORI2 population was dominant.A total of 258 strains of Yersinia pestis from the 1.OR12 population belonged to four subclusters.The Myanmar and Vietnam clade was embedded within the Yunnan clade in the overall phylogeny.The above results indicated that during the sec-ond period of the epidemic,the intensity of plague epidemics in Yunnan's border areas was high,showing a trend of devel-opment from west to south and east.Our findings indicated a risk of cross-border transmission of plague between Yunnan and neighboring countries;therefore,the surveillance,pre-vention,and control of plague in border areas should be strengthened.

The application of chimeric antigen receptor T cell(CAR-T)immunotherapy has ushered in a new era in cancer therapy,especially in the treatment of many kinds of refractory malignant tumors.The curative effect is significant for refractory/recurrent hematologic malignancies,such as acute leukemia,lymphoma,and multiple myeloma(MM).Tumor microenvironment(TME)is closely related to the efficacy and adverse reactions of CAR-T therapy.TME not only affects the activity of CAR-T cells,reduces their anti-tumor ability,but also directly involved in the occurrence and development of CAR-T cell therapy-related adverse reactions,such as cytokine release syndrome(CRS)and immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome(ICANS).Therefore,a deeper understanding of the role of blood TME in the process of CAR-T immunotherapy and the occurrence and development of adverse reactions is helpful for the application of CAR-T therapy in hematological malignancies.In this review,the influence of blood TME on the efficacy and adverse reactions of CAR-T immunotherapy was briefly summarized,aiming to provide evidence-based support for the clinical optimization of therapeutic regimen of refractory/recurrent hematologic malignancies.

Objective:To investigate the mechanism of DNA damage and repair in MLL-rearranged acute myeloid leukemia(MLL-r AML)cells by the combination of Chidamide and the BRD4 inhibitor(+)-JQ-1.Methods:MLL-r AML cell lines Molm-13,MV4-11 and non-MLL-r AML cell line Kasumi were divided into control group(contr),Chidamide group(chida),(+)-JQ-1 group and Combination group(combi),respectively.Cell viability of Molm-13 was measured by CCK-8 to determine optimal the concentrations of Chidamide and(+)-JQ-1.The cell cycle was detected by flow cytometry,and apoptosis-related factors Bcl-2,Bax and caspase-3 were detected by Western blot.DNA damage marker γH2AX was detected by immunofluorescence.The protein expressions of DNA damage factor γH2AX,DNA damage checkpoint kinases p-ATR,p-CHK1,p-ATM,p-CHK2 and DNA damage repair factors Rad51 and 53BP1 were detected by Western blot.The expression of DNA damage repair factors Rad51 and 53BP1 mRNA was detected by qRT-PCR.Results:Under the treatment of Chidamide(300 nmol/L)and(+)-JQ-1(400 nmol/L),the proportion of G1 phase cells in MLL-r AML cell lines Molm-13 and MV4-11 was increased in combination group compared with control group.In non-MLL-r AML cell line Kasumi,compared with control group,the proportion of G1 phase cells in combination group was increased(P＜0.05).In Molm-13 and MV4-11 cell lines,compared with control group,the expression level of DNA damage marker γH2AX in combination group was increased(P＜0.05).The expression levels of DNA damage checkpoint and damage repair factors p-ATR,p-CHK1,p-ATM,p-CHK2,Rad51,53BP1 were decreased(P＜0.05).In Kasumi cell line,compared with control group,there was no significant change in the expression of some of the above factors in combination group(P＞0.05),but the expression trend of some factors was opposite.In MLL-r AML cell lines Molm-13 and MV4-11,compared with control group,the expression levels of Bax and caspase-3 protein were increased in combination group,while the expression levels of Bcl-2 protein were decreased(P＜0.05).In non-MLL-r AML cell line Kasumi,there was no significant change in apoptotic factor protein expression in combination group compared with control group(P＞0.05).Conclusion:Chidamide combined with(+)-JQ-1 can inhibit the proliferation of MLL-r AML cells,inhibit the initiation of protective self-repair of these leukemia cells by inhibiting the DNA damage response pathway,and ultimately increase the apoptosis of these cells,but non-MLL-r AML cells have no similar results.
