OBJECTIVE: To investigate the clinical characteristics, treatment and prognosis of adult AML patients with NUP98::HOXA9 fusion gene. METHODS: From May 2017 to October 2023， among 2 113 AML patients who visited the Hematology Department of our hospital, patients with NUP98 rearrangements were screened. The clinical characteristics, chromosome karyotypes, immunophenotypes, gene mutations, treatment efficacy and prognosis of the patients with NUP98::HOXA9 positive were analyzed. RESULTS: Among the 2 113 AML patients, there were 18 cases with NUP98 rearrangement, including 14 NUP98::HOXA9 positive cases, with a detection rate of 0.66% (14/2 113). The median age of the NUP98::HOXA9 positive patients was 42.5 (23-64) years old. The most common chromosome karyotype was t(7; 11)(p15; p15). The immunophenotypes of all patients expressed CD13, CD33, CD117 and CD38, and most patients expressed CD34 and cMPO, while only a few expressed HLA-DR. Second-generation sequencing (NGS) was performed to detect genetic mutations associated with leukemia in all 14 patients, and the genes exhibiting a high frequency of mutation were WT1 (10/14), TET2 (7/14), and FLT3-ITD (6/14). Additionally, mutations were also observed in KRAS/NRAS, IDH1, and KIT. Of the 13 patients who received treatment, 9 achieved complete remission (CR), and all 3 patients who received azacytidine(AZA)+ venetoclax (VEN) regimen achieved CR after the first course of treatment. Within this cohort, 6 patients were classified as relapsed/refractory (6/13). 4 patients underwent allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT), of which two achieved long-term survival. The median follow-up time was 12 (2.1-65.0) months, while the median overall survival (OS) and relapse-free survival (RFS) were recorded as 11.4 months and 9.6 months, respectively. CONCLUSION The most common type of NUP98 rearrangement in adults AML patients is NUP98::HOXA9 , which is often accompanied by somatic mutations in WT1, TET2, and FLT3-ITD. These patients are prone to relapse, have short survival time, and generally face poor prognoses. Hopefully, utilization of the AZA+VEN regimen is anticipated to enhance the rate of induced remission in the patients, and some patients may prolong their survival through allo-HSCT. However, more effective treatment methods are still needed to improve the overall prognosis of these patients.

Objective Studies on the expression and location of zinc finger protein A20 (A20) and connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) in liver tissues of patients with chronic hepatitis B were conducted, and the relationship between them and liver fibrosis was determined by FibroScan. Methods Studies on A20 and CTGF in liver tissues of 160 patients with chronic hepatitis B were conducted in accordance with the stage of pathological fibrosis and inflammation of the liver, and quantitative immunohistochemistry test was conducted, and statistical analysis was conducted by FibroScan. Results The expressions of A20 and CTGF in liver tissues increased with the aggravation of liver pathological fibrosis and inflammation, and there were significant differences between each stage and the control group (P<0.05), and there were significant differences between adjacent groups (P<0.05). Studies have shown that FibroScan increases along with pathological fibrosis and inflammation in the liver. There are significant differences between the stage and the control group (P<0.05), and no significant differences between the adjacent groups (P>0.05). There was positive correlation between liver A20 and CTGF, r=0.796 (P<0.05). Conclusions In patients with chronic hepatitis B, A20, CTGF and FibroScan are positively correlated with the degree of liver fibrosis, and A20 and CTGF are also positively correlated with the degree of liver inflammation, which can be used as indicators to evaluate the degree of liver inflammation and fibrosis, and further guide the anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrosis treatment of patients.

Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.

A a novel composite ZIF-8/MWCNT was synthesized by combining zeolitic imidazolate framework-8(ZIF-8)with multi-walled carbon nanotubes(MWCNT).The composite was modified on glassy carbon electrode(GCE)to obtain ZIF-8/MWCNT/GCE,which was served as an effective electrochemical sensor for detection of Pb2+ and Cd2+.Benefiting from the high electrical conductivity of MWCNT and the synergistic effect between ZIF-8 and MWCNT,ZIF-8/MWCNT showed excellent electrocatalytic activity in individual and simultaneous detection of Cd2+ and Pb2+.Under the optimized conditions,the linear ranges were 0.03?8.00 μmol/L and 0.03?6.00 μmol/L with corresponding limits of detection(S/N=3)of 0.019 and 0.035 μmol/L for individual detection of Cd2+and Pb2+,respectively.Whereas for simultaneous detection of Cd2+and Pb2+in their mixture solutions,the linear ranges were 0.03?5.00 μmol/L and 0.03?5.00 μmol/L with corresponding limits of detection(S/N=3)of 0.022 and 0.048 μmol/L,respectively.In addition,the sensor exhibited good stability,reproducibility and anti-interference ability.Moreover,the sensor showed good feasibility and accuracy for determination of Cd2+ and Pb2+ in actual river water samples with spiking recoveries of 98.1%?104.0%and 98.3%?102.2%,respectively.

Objective To explore the prediction of hospital indoor microbial concentration in air based on real-time indoor air environment monitoring data and machine learning algorithms.Methods Four locations in a hospital were selected as monitoring sampling points from May 23 to June 5,2022.The"internet of things"sensor was used to monitor a variety of real-time air environment data.Air microbial concentration data collected at each point were matched,and the gradient boosting decision tree(GBDT)was used to predict real-time indoor microbial concentra-tion in air.Five other common machine learning models were selected for comparison,including random forest(RF),decision tree(DT),k-nearest neighbor(KNN),linear regression(LR)and artificial neural network(ANN).The validity of the model was verified by the mean absolute error(MAE),root mean square error(RMSE)and mean absolute percentage error(MAPE).Results The MAPE value of GBDT model in the outpa-tient elevator room(point A),bronchoscopy room(point B),CT waiting area(point C),and nurses'station in the supply room(point D)were 22.49％,36.28％,29.34％,and 26.43％,respectively.The mean performance of the GBDT model was higher than that of other machine learning models at three sampling points and slightly lower than that of the ANN model at only one sampling point.The mean MAPE value of GBDT model at four sampling points was 28.64％,that is,the predicted value deviated from the actual value by 28.64％,indicating that GBDT model has good prediction results and the predicted value was within the available range.Conclusion The GBDT machine learning model based on real-time indoor air environment monitoring data can improve the prediction accuracy of in-door air microbial concentration in hospitals.

Objective To establish an intelligent detection algorithm model for acute promyelocytic leukemia(M3 model)based on a contrast large model using machine learning statistical software and validate its effectiveness.Methods The data from 8 256 outpa-tients and inpatients who underwent complete blood cell analysis at Peking Union Medical College Hospital were retrieved and analyzed using the laboratory information system(LIS)and hospital information system(HIS).A M3 screening model was established and vali-dated using the data from outpatients and inpatients who underwent complete blood cell analysis at our hospital from July to October 2023.Results The M3 model demonstrated potential application value in screening for M3 disease in complete blood cell analysis,which showed certain efficacy in screening for neutrophil toxicity changes,particularly in identifying two cases of blue-green inclusion bodies in neutrophils.Conclusion The M3 model exhibited low specificity for M3 diagnosis.Future research should focus on increas-ing the number of M3-positive cases to optimize the model,ensuring high sensitivity while improving specificity.This model will provide assistance for the intelligent review of complete blood cell analysis.

Femoral neck fracture (FNF) in the elderly patients is currently a major health challenge worldwide, with excessive consumption of medical resources, high incidence of complications as well as suboptimal outcome and prognosis. Hip joint arthroplasty (HJA) has been the mainstream treatment for FNF in the elderly, but the conventional surgical approaches and techniques are still confronted with a series of bottlenecks such as dislocation, limp and limb length discrepancy. In recent years, direct anterior approach (DAA) for HJA (DAA-HJA) has been a major new choice in the field of joint replacement, which achieves improved clinical effectiveness of HJA in the treatment of elderly FNF, due to the fact that DAA approach involves the neuromuscular interface and accords with the idea of soft tissue retention and enhanced recovery after surgery. However, there is still a lack of unified understanding of standard technique and procedure of DAA-HJA in the treatment of elderly FNF. Therefore, relevant experts from the Hip Joint Group of Chinese Orthopedics Association of Chinese Medical Association, Youth Arthrology Group of Orthopedic Committee of PLA, Orthopedic Committee of Chongqing Medical Association, Branch of Orthopedic Surgeons of Chongqing Medical Doctor Association and Sport Medicine Committee of Chongqing Medical Association were organized to formulate the " Chinese expert consensus on the technical standard of direct anterior hip arthroplasty for elderly femoral neck fracture ( version 2023)" based on evidence-based medicine. This consensus mainly proposed 13 recommendations covering indications, surgical plans, prosthesis selections, surgical techniques and processes, and postoperative management of DAA-HJA in elderly patients with FNF, aiming to promote standardized, systematic and patient-specific diagnosis and treatment to improve the functional prognosis of the patients.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between plasma microRNA (miR)-122, miR-33a and the severity of coronary artery disease in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and coronary heart disease.Methods:The clinical data of 196 patients with T2DM from January 2019 to October 2021 in Xuzhou First People′s Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 81 cases were complicated with coronary heart disease (combined group), 115 cases were not complicated with coronary heart disease (control group). The plasma levels of miR-122 and miR-33a were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction, the plasma level of N-terminal B-type natriuretic peptide precursor (NT-proBNP) was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. In combined group, the number of coronary artery lesions was determined according to the results of coronary angiography, and Gensini score was evaluated. Linear regression model was used to analyze the relationship between plasma miR-122, miR-33a and NT-proBNP levels with the incidence of coronary heart disease in patients with T2DM. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to analyze the plasma miR-122 and miR-33a in predicting efficiency of coronary heart disease in patients with T2DM. In combined group, Spearman correlation method was used to analyze the relationship between plasma miR-122, miR-33a and the number of coronary artery lesions, and Pearson correlation method was used to analyze the relationship between plasma miR-122, miR-33a and plasma NT proBNP, Gensini score.Results:The plasma miR-122, miR-33a and NT-proBNP in combined group were significantly higher than those in control group: 5.76 ± 1.35 vs. 1.18 ± 0.33, 1.39 ± 0.37 vs. 0.65 ± 0.11 and (786.87 ± 156.39) ng/L vs. (103.45 ± 19.27) ng/L respectively, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.01). Linear regression result showed that plasma miR-122, miR-33a, and NT-proBNP were positive correlation with occurrence of coronary heart disease in patients with T2DM ( P<0.01); ROC curve analysis result showed that the area under curve of plasma miR-122, miR-33a and combination in predicting coronary heart disease in patients with T2DM were 0.816, 0.845 and 0.912 respectively (95% CI 0.744 to 0.865, 0.768 to 0.892 and 0.836 to 0.967). Coronary angiography result showed that there were 46 cases of single vessel lesions, 25 cases of double vessel lesions and 10 cases of three vessel lesions. The plasma miR-122, miR-33a, NT-proBNP and Gensini score in patients with three vessel lesions were significantly higher than those in patients with double vessel lesions and patients with single vessel lesions: 6.52 ± 0.96 vs. 4.95 ± 0.85 and 3.74 ± 0.52, 1.45 ± 0.31 vs. 1.06 ± 0.25 and 0.81 ± 0.13, (829.78 ± 62.59) ng/L vs. (627.48 ± 47.12) and (502.64 ± 38.24) ng/L, (63.89 ± 12.71) scores vs. (42.18 ± 6.03) and (22.36 ± 2.41) scores, the indexes in patients with double vessel lesions were significantly higher than those in patients with single vessel lesions, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). In combined group, Spearman correlation analysis result showed that the plasma miR-122 and miR-33a were positive correlation with the number of coronary artery lesions ( r = 0.879 and 0.825, P<0.05); Pearson correlation analysis result showed that the plasma miR-122 and miR-33a were positive correlation with the plasma NT-proBNP and Gensini score (miR-122: r = 0.896 and 0.788, miR-33a: r = 0.871 and 0.765; P<0.05). Conclusions:The plasma levels of miR-122 and miR-33a are related to the occurrence of coronary heart disease and severity of coronary artery disease in patients with T2DM, which may be used to guide the prevention and treatment of coronary heart disease in patients with T2DM.
