Objective To summarize and analyze the efficacy and influencing factors of second allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) for acute leukemia relapsing after the first allo-HSCT. Methods Clinical data of 17 patients with acute leukemia who underwent second allo-HSCT at Peking University First Hospital from January 2005 to December 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. Results Among the 17 patients, 7 achieved long-term disease-free survival after second transplantation. The median progression-free survival after successful second transplantation was 7 months (range 8 days to 69 months). The relapse fatality was 24%, and the transplant-related fatality was 35%. Conclusions Second transplantation is an effective treatment for relapsed and refractory acute leukemia, but the relapse fatality and transplant-related fatality remain high. Patient age, time of relapse after the first transplantation and disease status before second transplantation are all factors that affect the efficacy of second transplantation. Younger age, late relapse and complete remission of disease before second transplantation are all beneficial for long-term disease-free survival after second transplantation.

This paper systematically reviewed the concept of authentication studies on traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) classics and the research achievements of scholars across historical and contemporary periods. We categorized the authentication studies on TCM classics into four types, including work-oriented authentication research, metho-dological studies on authentication, extended authentication research, and single-book authentication. Multiple methods were applied comprehensively, including investigating bibliographic documents of successive dynasties, analyzing the academic contents of medical books, studying the textual characteristics of medical books, examining the cited references in medical books, verifying the biographies of authors, and analyzing the interpolations and accretions in medical books, to distinguish the authenticity of TCM classics. The academic value of authenticity identification of TCM classics is concluded in three aspects,i.e. it serves as an important means to distinguish authenticity from falsehood in TCM classics, an important guarantee for inheriting the essence of TCM literature, and a key to unlocking the academic treasure trove of TCM classics and achieving inheritance-based innovation, which will lay a solid documentary foundation for constructing identification methodologies and standardized systems.

Objective To analyze the influenza-like illness (ILI) data in Ordos City from 2017 to 2023 and conduct nucleic acid detection of the virus to understand the local influenza epidemic situation, and to provide a reliable basis for influenza prevention and control in the city. Methods Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) was used to identify virus subtypes in ILI throat swab samples. Comparisons of positive rates were conducted using the chi-square test, with a significance level of α=0.05. Results From 2017 to 2023, a total of 3,283,434 outpatient and emergency visits were recorded at the Ordos City Central Hospital, including 74,159 ILI cases, with an ILI proportion of 2.26%. The majority of ILI cases (74.43%) occurred in children aged 0~14 years old. The overall positive rate of influenza virus nucleic acid detection was 10.87%, with the highest proportion being subtype A (seasonal H3) at 43.03%. The highest detection rate was observed in the 5~14 years age group, with statistically significant differences in positive rates across age groups (χ2=155.638, P<0.001). Influenza peaks occurred mainly from November to March of the following year. From January to April, three types of influenza were prevalent alternately or mixed, while from October to December, subtype A (seasonal H3) predominated. Positive rates varied significantly across months (χ2=250.923, P<0.001). The temporal trends of ILI proportions and PCR-positive rates were consistent. Conclusion Influenza in Ordos City exhibits distinct seasonal and age distribution characteristics, with alternating or mixed circulation of three virus types. Continued efforts are needed to strengthen influenza surveillance, especially the prevention and control of influenza in infants and adolescents.

AIM: To investigate the abnormal conditions and change patterns of accommodative facility in patients with different refractive states before and after small incision lenticule extraction(SMILE)surgery.METHODS:A prospective clinical cohort study was conducted. A total of 59 patients(118 eyes)who underwent SMILE surgery and had visual function files established in our hospital from June to December 2023 were randomly selected, including 37 males and 22 females, aged 18-35 years(with an average age of 25.19±5.65 years). According to the preoperative spherical equivalent(SE), they were divided into two groups: the low-to-moderate myopia group(SE≥-6.00 DS)with 40 patients(80 eyes), and the high myopia group(SE<-6.00 DS)with 19 patients(38 eyes). The monocular and binocular accommodative facility before surgery and at 1 wk and 1 mo after surgery were compared, and the changes in accommodative facility before and after SMILE surgery in the two groups of patients were analyzed.RESULTS:All surgeries were completed successfully. In the low-to-moderate myopia group, 33 cases(66 eyes)completed the 1-month follow-up after surgery, with a loss to follow-up rate of 17.5%(7/40). In the high myopia group, 15 patients(30 eyes)completed the 1-month follow-up after surgery, with a loss to follow-up rate of 21.1%(4/19). After SMILE surgery, the uncorrected visual acuity and SE of both low-to-moderate myopia and high myopia were significantly improved(all P<0.05). The accommodative facility of the right eyes in all the patients at 1 mo after surgery was better than that before surgery and at 1 wk after surgery(P=0.002, 0.006), the accommodative facility of the left eyes was significantly increased at 1 mo after surgery than that at 1 wk after surgery(P=0.005), and the binocular accommodative facility at 1 mo after surgery was significantly increased compared with that before surgery(P<0.017). Furthermore, there were statistical significance in accommodative facility of the right eyes in the low-to-moderate group at 1 mo compared with that before surgery and at 1 wk after surgery(P=0.011, 0.004); it was significantly increased in the left eyes at 1 mo after surgery compared with that at 1 wk after surgery(P=0.001), and binocular accommodative facility at 1 mo after surgery was significantly better than that before surgery(P<0.001). Furthermore, there was no statistical significance in the right, left and binocular accommodative facility of patients in the high myopia group(all P>0.017).CONCLUSION: After SMILE surgery, the monocular accommodative facility shows a transient decrease and then exceeds the preoperative level at 1 mo after surgery, and the binocular accommodative facility gradually improves after surgery. SMILE surgery has a positive impact on the monocular and binocular accommodative facility in patients with low-to-moderate myopia, but has no significant impact on the accommodative facility in patients with high myopia. It is of clinical significance to strengthen the detection of monocular and binocular accommodative facility before and after SMILE surgery.

Objective To investigate the alterations in skeletal muscle function and mass in an experimental mouse model of high-intensity exercise in a hot and humid environment.Methods Twenty-four male C57BL/6J mice(7~8 weeks old,weighing 21.30±0.67 g)were randomly assigned to a control group(CON group),a normal temperature and humidity exercise group(NE group),and a high temperature and humidity exercise group(HE group),with 8 mice in each group.The HE group was subjected to a high-temperature simulation chamber,maintaining a temperature of 37~39℃and humidity of 70%~80%,for a 60-minute exercise intervention at a 10° incline and 80%of maximum velocity(12 min of exercise followed by 8 min of rest,for 3 cycles).The CON group did not exercise,while the NE group exercised in the same manner in a normal temperature and humidity environment.The overall condition of the mice was evaluated by monitoring their body weight and analyzing their body composition.Their serum creatinine and urea levels were detected using an automated biochemical analyzer.After exercise,skeletal muscle function in the mice of each group was assessed by measuring their grip strength and exhaustion time.The skeletal muscle contractility and resistance to fatigue were evaluated using an in situ/in vivo/ex vivo muscle testing system.HE staining was employed to observe the morphological and structural changes in the skeletal muscles,and the average cross-sectional area and diameter of the muscle fibers were analyzed.Genes related to protein synthesis(Eif4ebp1,p70S6k)and breakdown(Foxo3,Fbxo32,Trim63)and heat stress-related genes(Hsf-1,Hspa1a,Hsp90aa)were quantified using RT-qPCR.Results ① Compared with the CON and NE groups,the HE group exhibited significant decreases in body weight(P<0.01)and lean body mass(P<0.05),an upward trend of creatinine level(P<0.05),and increases in the urea content(P<0.01).② The mice in the HE group had notably reduced grip strength(P<0.001),diminished skeletal muscle contraction,and weakened resistance to fatigue(P<0.05)than the CON and NE groups.③ The HE group demonstrated a reduction in the average cross-sectional area of muscle fibers(P<0.05)and a decrease in average fiber diameter(P<0.05),with particular up-regulation of Fbxo32,Trim63 and Eif4ebp1(P<0.01)and down-regulation of p70S6k(P<0.05)in comparison to the NE and CON groups.④ The expression levels of heat stress-related genes were higher in the HE group than the CON and NE groups(P<0.05).Conclusion High-intensity exercise in a hot and humid environment can lead to a decline in skeletal muscle function and mass in mice,potentially due to the disturbance of skeletal muscle protein synthesis and degradation triggered by excessive heat stress.

Objective To observe the value of multi-sequence magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)radiomics in predicting the efficacy of concurrent chemoradiotherapy(CCRT)in locally advanced cervical squamous cell carcinoma(CSCC)patients.Methods Clinical data of 100 CSCC patients underwent CCRT treatment were selected.In order to better validate the performance of the model,patients were randomly divided into the training set(70 cases)and the validation set(30 cases)in a 7∶3 ratio.According to the efficacy criteria for solid tumors,patients were divided into the complete response(CR)group(n=16)and the partial response(PR)group(n=14).Examination images of cross-sectional DWI,T2WI and enhanced T1WI were collected from all patients before treatment.ITK-SNAP software package combined with three sequences were used to outline ROI,and the open source software PyRadiomics was used to extract image omics features.For MRI omics features,the minimum redundancy maximum correlation(mRMR)algorithm was used to analyze and screen out the first 30 main features,and then the minimum absolute contraction and selection method(Lasso)based on 10-fold cross-validation was used to reduce dimensionality to screen the non-zero coefficient features.According to the weighting coefficient of Lasso-Logistic regression model in the training set,patient omics labels were calculated.Logistic regression analysis was used to construct a prediction model based on DWI,T2WI and T1WI sequence prediction models and multiple sequenomics labels.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves evaluated the predictive value of each omics model for CCRT treatment in patients with locally advanced CSCC.Results There were 38 cases in the CR group and 32 cases in the PR group in the training set.There were 16 cases in the CR group and 14 cases in the PR group in the validation set.There were no significant differences in patient age,FIGO stage,differentiation degree,maximum lesion diameter and menstrual status between the CR group and the PR group in the training and validation sets.A total of 851 imaging features were extracted from the ROI target area.After the first 30 features were retained by mRMR algorithm,3 CR-related features were selected from the 851 imaging omics features of each individual sequence by Lasso algorithm and 10-fold cross-validation.Eight CR related features were selected from 2 553 features after the combination of the three sequences.ROC curve results showed that in the training set and validation set,the AUC of multiple sequences combined to predict the therapeutic effect of CCRT in patients with locally advanced CSCC was 0.971 and 0.946,respectively,which was higher than that of T1WI,T2WI and DWI single sequence prediction(training set Z=2.683,2.046,2.817,P<0.05;verification set Z=2.075,2.117,2.005,P<0.05).Conclusion The multi sequence MRI radiomics model has high predictive value for the efficacy of CCRT treatment in locally advanced CSCC patients.

Objective:To investigate the effect of phosphorus-containing replacement solution for the prevention and treatment of hypophosphatemia during continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) in critically ill patients with blood phosphorus level ≤1.45 mmol/L, and to provide clinical reference.Methods:It was a historical prospective cohort study. The critically ill patients receiving CRRT with blood phosphorus ≤ 1.45 mmol/L in the intensive care unit of Henan Provincial People's Hospital from October 2021 to January 2023 and from April 2023 to January 2024 was selected as the study subjects. The patients were divided into test group (from April 2023 to January 2024) and control group (from October 2021 to January 2023) according to whether phosphate (1.0 mmol/L) was added to the replacement solution during CRRT, and the differences of clinical data before and after CRRT between the two groups were compared. The patients were divided into hypophosphatemia group and non-hypophosphatemia group according to whether blood phosphorus < 0.81 mmol/L within 24 h after the end of CRRT, and the differences of clinical data between the two groups were compared. Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the related factors of hypophosphatemia.Results:A total of 149 critically ill patients with blood phosphorus level ≤1.45 mmol/L undergoing CRRT were enrolled in the study, with age of 64(47, 75) years and 87 males (58.4%). Among 149 patients, 84(56.4%) had hypophosphatemia after CRRT, and no hyperphosphatemia occurred. The incidence of hypophosphatemia in test group and control group was 40.0% (30/75) and 73.0% (54/74), respectively. There was no statistically significant difference in baseline clinical data before CRRT between test group and control group (all P>0.05). C-reactive protein ( Z=-3.356, P=0.001), blood calcium ( Z=-3.835, P<0.001) and proportion of hypophosphatemia ( χ2=16.467, P<0.001) in the test group were lower than those in the control group, and blood phosphorus ( Z=3.886, P<0.001) in the test group was higher than that in the control group within 24 h after CRRT. Compared with non-hypophosphatemia group, the proportion of parenteral nutrition ( χ2=6.802, P=0.009) and blood calcium within 24 h after CRRT ( Z=-2.515, P=0.012) in the hypophosphatemia group were higher, and blood phosphorus within 24 h after CRRT ( Z=-10.451, P<0.001), blood phosphorus after 24 h after CRRT treatment ( Z=-5.331, P<0.001) and the proportion of applied replacement solution containing phosphorus ( χ2=16.467, P<0.001) in the hypophosphatemia group were lower. The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that parenteral nutrition ( OR=2.521, 95% CI 1.228-5.175, P=0.012) and application of phosphorus- containing replacement solution ( OR=0.241, 95% CI 0.119-0.491, P<0.001) were independent relevant factors of hypophosphatemia after CRRT in the whole cohort of patients. Conclusions:The application of phosphorus-containing replacement solution in critically ill patients with blood phosphorus level ≤1.45 mmol/L undergoing CRRT is safe and effective, and the incidence of hypophosphatemia is low. Application of phosphorus-containing replacement solution in critically ill patients with blood phosphorus level ≤1.45 mmol/L undergoing CRRT can reduce the incidence risk of hypophosphatemia after CRRT.
