ObjectiveTo analyze the characteristics of chromosomal variations and disease spectrum in patients with lymphohematopoietic system diseases in Hunan region. MethodsA cross-sectional study was conducted, collecting clinical data of 548 patients with lymphohematopoietic system diseases who underwent bone marrow chromosome karyotype analysis at Hunan Provincial People's Hospital from January 2021 to July 2025. G-banding technique was used to detect bone marrow chromosome karyotypes, and chromosome number and structural abnormalities were determined in accordance with the International System for Human Cytogenomic Nomenclature (ISCN) 2024. Retrospective statistical analysis was performed to correlate karyotype abnormality data with disease phenotypes such as myelodysplastic syndrome and acute/chronic leukemia. Classification of the types, frequencies, and reproducibility of variations was calculated to clarify the correlation between karyotypes and disease phenotypes. ResultsAmong the 548 patients who completed bone marrow chromosome karyotype analysis, 127 had chromosomal abnormalities (84 males and 43 females, mean age 58.26 years). Among patients with autosomal abnormalities, 64 cases were detected with translocations (a total of 67 mutations), with t(9;22)(q34;q11.2) (22 cases) and t(15;17)(q24;q21) (10 cases) as high-frequency translocations. Chromosomes 9, 15, etc. were high-frequency variant chromosomes, and 29 cases had complex mutations such as deletions/duplications, with +8 being the common type. There were 27 cases of sex chromosome abnormalities: 7 cases of X chromosome abnormalities (2 cases of chimerism) and 20 cases of Y chromosome deletions (7 cases of 45,X,-Y/46,XY chimerism). Karyotype-disease correlation showed that t(9;22) was detected 9 times in acute leukemia and 8 times in chronic myeloid leukemia; +8, -Y, etc. were associated with multiple types of hematological diseases, and the same karyotype could correspond to multiple disease phenotypes. ConclusionThe high-frequency chromosomal abnormalities, karyotype-disease correlations, and high-frequency NGS genes in patients with lymphohematopoietic system diseases, providing a basis for their precise diagnosis and treatment.

Objective: To establish and validate a whole blood (WB) supply model, thereby providing practical experience for the clinical application of WB in domestic trauma emergency care and informing the development of a wartime blood supply system for the military. Methods: A “10×24” WB supply model was established by formulating blood collection protocols, storage standards, and transfusion criteria. Multiple WB samples were tested under specific storage conditions to assess key indicators at different time points, including red blood cell (RBC), white blood cell (WBC), and platelet counts, hemoglobin concentration, coagulation parameters (PT, APTT, TT, FIB), coagulation factor activity, thromboelastography (TEG) parameters, and electrolyte levels. Additionally, clinical data from hemorrhagic patients who met the criteria for WB transfusion and were admitted between March and July 2024 were analyzed to evaluate WB transfusion volume. Results: RBC counts and hemoglobin levels remained stable in WB stored at 4℃ for up to 10 days. However, platelet counts and coagulation function (PT, APTT) significantly declined with prolonged storage, while potassium levels increased. From March to July 2024, the model was successfully applied to 23 patients with acute hemorrhage, with a median WB transfusion volume of 543 mL. A detailed case study of a severe traumatic hemorrhagic shock patient was reported, who was successfully treated with 5.5 units of refrigerated WB combined with component blood. Conclusion: The “10×24” WB supply model demonstrated acceptable changes in critical quality parameters under strict management and a 10-day rotation cycle. This model effectively supports the treatment of acute hemorrhage and holds promise for integration into the future wartime blood supply system of the military.

Background:
The immune system plays a critical role in the development and progression of osteoporosis and fractures. However, the causal relationships between antibody immune responses, immune cells, and these bone conditions remain unclear. This study aimed to explore these relationships using Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis.
Methods:
We collected complete blood count data from patients with fractures and healthy individuals and analyzed their differences. Then, we conducted a 2-sample, 2-step MR analysis to investigate the causal effects of antibody immune responses on osteoporosis and fractures, using inverse-variance weighted (IVW) as the primary method. We also explored whether immune cells mediate the pathway between antibodies and osteoporosis or fractures. Finally, we analyzed the functions and expression levels of key genes involved.
Results:
Overall, the fracture group exhibited increased white blood cell count, absolute neutrophil count, absolute monocyte count, platelet count, and their respective proportions, while absolute lymphocyte count, absolute eosinophil count, absolute basophil count, red blood cell count, and their proportions were decreased. We identified 44 causal relationships between antibodies and osteoporosis or fractures, with 7 supported by multiple MR methods, and 5 showing odds ratios significantly deviating from 1 in the IVW analysis. Epstein-Barr virus-related antibodies had a notable impact on osteoporosis and fractures. The human leukocyte antigen (HLA) gene family, particularly HLA-DPB1, emerged as a significant risk factor. However, immune cells were not found to mediate these effects.
Conclusions
This study elucidated the causal relationships between antibody immune responses, immune cells, and osteoporosis or fractures. The HLA gene family plays a crucial role in the interaction between antibodies and these bone conditions, with HLA-DPB1 identified as a key risk gene. Immune cells do not serve as mediators in this process. These findings provide valuable insights for future research.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine and metabolic disorder affecting a substantial proportion of women of reproductive age. It is frequently associated with ovulatory dysfunction, infertility, and an increased risk of chronic metabolic diseases. A hallmark pathological feature of PCOS is the arrest of follicular development, closely linked to impaired intercellular communication between the oocyte and surrounding granulosa cells. Transzonal projections (TZPs) are specialized cytoplasmic extensions derived from granulosa cells that penetrate the zona pellucida to establish direct contact with the oocyte. These structures serve as essential conduits for the transfer of metabolites, signaling molecules (e.g., cAMP, cGMP), and regulatory factors (e.g., microRNAs, growth differentiation factors), thereby maintaining meiotic arrest, facilitating metabolic cooperation, and supporting gene expression regulation in the oocyte. The proper formation and maintenance of TZPs depend on the cytoskeletal integrity of granulosa cells and the regulated expression of key connexins, particularly CX37 and CX43. Recent studies have revealed that in PCOS, TZPs exhibit significant structural and functional abnormalities. Contributing factors—such as hyperandrogenism, insulin resistance, oxidative stress, chronic inflammation, and dysregulation of critical signaling pathways (including PI3K/Akt, Wnt/β‑catenin, and MAPK/ERK)—collectively impair TZP integrity and reduce their formation. This disruption in granulosa-oocyte communication compromises oocyte quality and contributes to follicular arrest and anovulation. This review provides a comprehensive overview of TZP biology, including their formation mechanisms, molecular composition, and stage-specific dynamics during folliculogenesis. We highlight the pathological alterations in TZPs observed in PCOS and elucidate how endocrine and metabolic disturbances—particularly androgen excess and hyperinsulinemia—downregulate CX43 expression and impair gap junction function, thereby exacerbating ovarian microenvironmental dysfunction. Furthermore, we explore emerging therapeutic strategies aimed at preserving or restoring TZP integrity. Anti-androgen therapies (e.g., spironolactone, flutamide), insulin sensitizers (e.g., metformin), and GLP-1 receptor agonists (e.g., liraglutide) have shown potential in modulating connexin expression and enhancing granulosa-oocyte communication. In addition, agents such as melatonin, AMPK activators, and GDF9/BMP15 analogs may promote TZP formation and improve oocyte competence. Advanced technologies, including ovarian organoid models and CRISPR-based gene editing, offer promising platforms for studying TZP regulation and developing targeted interventions. In summary, TZPs are indispensable for maintaining follicular homeostasis, and their disruption plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of PCOS-related folliculogenesis failure. Targeting TZP integrity represents a promising therapeutic avenue in PCOS management and warrants further mechanistic and translational investigation.

This study identified six novel azaphilones, isochromophilones G-L (1-6), and three novel biosynthetically related congeners (7-9) from Diaporthe sp. SCSIO 41011. The structures and absolute configurations were elucidated through comprehensive spectroscopic analyses combined with experimental and calculated electronic circular dichroism (ECD) spectra. Significantly, three highly oxygenated azaphilones contain an acetyl group at the terminal chain (4) or linear conjugated polyenoid moieties (5 and 6), which occur infrequently in the azaphilone family. Additionally, several compounds demonstrated inhibition of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB) activation in RAW 264.7 macrophages at 20 μmol·L-1. The novel compound (1) effectively inhibited receptor activator of NF-κB ligand (RANKL)-induced osteoclast differentiation without exhibiting cytotoxicity in bone marrow and RAW 264.7 macrophages, indicating its potential as a promising lead compound for osteolytic disease treatment. This research presents the first documented evidence of azaphilone derivatives as inhibitors of RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis.

Pyroptosis, a form of inflammatory cell death mediated by the Gasdermins family, promotes the release of inflammatory mediators and activates immune cell populations such as NK cells, T cells and macrophages in the tumor microenvironment(TME) to exert immune-regulating and anti-tumor effects. Glioblastoma(GBM) is the most serious and malignant glioma, and the median survival of patients diagnosed with GBM is less than 2 years, and the presence of the blood-brain barrier makes it difficult to deliver drugs to the brain, thus affecting the effect of drugs against GBM. Therefore, it is important to explore new measures and mechanisms to treat GBM, which has a complex TME with a large number of immune cell populations that are often immunosuppressed by GBM. Cellular pyroptosis as a mode of cell death capable of activating immunity, has the effect of activating the body’s immunity to help reverse TME immunosuppression. This review will focus on the relationship between cell pyroptosis and the immune system, how cell pyroptosis affects the immune cell population of TME in GBM, and the new progress in drug research on cell pyroptosis pathways in GBM treatment, providing new directions and strategies for future clinical treatment of GBM.
10.Research Progress and Application of Celastrol in Glioma
Chinese Journal of Modern Applied Pharmacy 2023;40(13):1881-1888
Celastrol(Cel) is a active ingredient extracted from the natural compound Tripterygium wilfordii, which has good anti-tumor activity and other pharmacological effects. In recent years, studies have found that Cel has good anti-tumor activity and the ability to penetrate the blood-brain barrier(BBB), which is a potential drug for treating brain tumors. However, due to its severe liver toxicity, its clinical application prospects are questioned. Glioma(GMA) is a high incidence tumor in the brain, with a survival rate of<5% after diagnosis. Currently, there are few drugs available in clinical practice, so it is urgent to explore new drugs or drug delivery strategies to treat neuro GMA. Some studies have found that Cel has good anti-tumor activity and also has a good inhibitory effect on GMA, but the relevant mechanisms have not yet been systematically summarized and expanded. Since Cel still faces many problems in its clinical application in GBA, it is necessary to further consider what means to use in the future to enable Cel to efficiently pass through BBB and deliver it to the GMA site for Targeted therapy while reducing its hepatotoxicity. This article summarizes and expands the mechanisms and research results of Cel in various tumors and GMA in recent years. This article also reviews the new applications of Cel combined with nanocarriers in enhancing efficacy and reducing toxicity in recent years, in order to more clearly summarize the role of Cel in the treatment of GMA and how to systematically summarize the delivery methods of Cel through BBB, providing new treatment methods for clinical treatment of GMA.
