Objective:To further improve the understanding of paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH), we retrospectively analyzed and summarized the clinical characteristics, treatment status, and survival status of patients with PNH in Zhejiang Province.Methods:This study included 289 patients with PNH who visited 20 hospitals in Zhejiang Province. Their clinical characteristics, comorbidity, laboratory test results, and medications were analyzed and summarized.Results:Among the 289 patients with PNH, 148 males and 141 females, with a median onset age of 45 (16-87) years and a peak onset age of 20-49 years (57.8% ). The median lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) level was 1 142 (604-1 925) U/L. Classified by type, 70.9% (166/234) were classical, 24.4% (57/234) were PNH/bone marrow failure (BMF), and 4.7% (11/234) were subclinical. The main clinical manifestations included fatigue or weakness (80.8%, 235/289), dizziness (73.4%, 212/289), darkened urine color (66.2%, 179/272), and jaundice (46.2%, 126/270). Common comorbidities were hemoglobinuria (58.7% ), renal dysfunction (17.6% ), and thrombosis (15.0% ). Moreover, 82.3% of the patients received glucocorticoid therapy, 70.9% required blood transfusion, 30.7% used immunosuppressive agents, 13.8% received anticoagulant therapy, and 6.3% received allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. The 10-year overall survival (OS) rate was 84.4% (95% CI 78.0% -91.3% ) . Conclusion:Patients with PNH are more common in young and middle-aged people, with a similar incidence rate between men and women. Common clinical manifestations include fatigue, hemoglobinuria, jaundice, renal dysfunction, and recurrent thrombosis. The 10-year OS of this group is similar to reports from other centers in China.

Objective:To evaluate the relationship between physical activity (PA) and postoperative delirium (POD) in elderly patients undergoing knee or hip arthroplasty.Methods:The study was conducted as part of the Perioperative Neurocognitive Impairment and Biomarkers Lifestyle Cohort, which was a nested case-control study. Medical records from elderly patients undergoing elective knee or hip arthroplasty under spinal-epidural anesthesia at Qingdao Municipal Hospital from August 2022 to August 2023 were collected. The patients were divided into a POD group ( n=89) and a non-POD group ( n=221) based on the occurrence of POD. Peripheral blood samples were collected before surgery, and the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) 2 ml was extracted after successful puncture under spinal-epidural anesthesia for determination of the concentrations of amyloid-β 42 (Aβ 42), total tau protein (t-tau), and phosphorylated tau protein (p-tau) by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of POD, and the mediation analysis was conducted to examine the mediating role of CSF biomarker in the relationship between PA and POD. Results:Logistic regression analysis showed that the increased concentration of CSF biomarkers Aβ 42 ( OR=0.997, P=0.006), elevated ratio of Aβ 42/t-tau ( OR=0.642, P=0.003), elevated ratio of Aβ 42/p-tau ratio ( OR=0.872, P=0.001) and PA ( OR=0.374, P=0.001) were protective factors for POD, while the elevated concentrations of t-tau ( OR=1.006, P=0.001) and p-tau ( OR=1.030, P=0.011) were risk factors for POD after adjusting for multi-confounders such as hypertension, diabetes, history of drinking, years of education and Mini-Mental State Examination score. The results of the mediation analysis showed that Aβ 42 (20%), t-tau (16%), Aβ 42/t-tau (23%) and Aβ 42/p-tau (28%) played mediating roles in the relationship between PA and POD. Conclusions:PA is a protective factor for POD in elderly patients undergoing knee or hip arthroplasty and CSF biomarkers may play a mediating role in the relationship between PA and POD.

BACKGROUND:
Diabetic wound healing remains a major challenge due to the impaired functionality of angiogenesis by persistent hyperglycemia. Mesenchymal stem cell exosomes are appropriate candidates for regulating the formation of angiogenesis in tissue repair and regeneration. Here, we explored the effects of exosomes derived from human amniotic mesenchymal stem cell (hAMSC-Exos) on the biological activities of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) treated with high glucose and on diabetic wound healing and investigate lncRNAs related to angiogenesis in hAMSC-Exos.
METHODS:
hAMSCs and hAMSC-Exos were isolated and identified by flow cytometry or western blot. A series of functional assays such as cell counting kit-8, scratching, transwell and tube formation assays were performed to evaluate the potential effect of hAMSC-Exos on high glucose-treated HUVECs. The effect of hAMSC-Exos on diabetic wound healing were tested by measuring wound closure rates and immunohistochemical staining of CD31. Subsequently, the lncRNAs profiles in hAMSC-Exos and hAMSCs were examined to screen the lncRNAs related to angiogenesis.
RESULTS:
The isolated hAMSC-Exos had a size range of 30–150 nm and were positive for CD9, CD63 and CD81. The hAMSC-Exos facilitate the functional properties of high glucose-treated HUVECs including the proliferation, migration and the angiogenic activities as well as wound closure and angiogenesis in diabetic wound. hAMSC-Exos were enriched lncRNAs that related to angiogenesis, including PANTR1, H19, OIP5-AS1 and NR2F1-AS1.
CONCLUSION
Our findings demonstrated hAMSC-Exos facilitate diabetic wound healing by angiogenesis and contain several exosomal lncRNAs related to angiogenesis, which may represent a promising strategy for diabetic wound healing.

ObjectiveTo investigate the therapeutic effect of the frozen and fresh preparations of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSC) on a rat model of liver cirrhosis after transplantation via the portal vein or the caudal vein. MethodsA total of 70 specific pathogen-free healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into normal group (13 rats fed with ordinary tap water and rat food) and liver cirrhosis model group (57 rats given subcutaneous multi-point injection of mixed carbon tetrachloride/olive oil solution). At week 8, the growth of rats was observed for both groups, and 3 rats were selected from each group for histopathological examination to confirm the formation of liver cirrhosis. A total of 50 rats were selected from the liver cirrhosis model and were divided into model group, portal vein group+fresh cell preparation group, portal vein+frozen cell preparation group, caudal vein+fresh cell preparation group, and caudal vein+frozen cell preparation group using a random number table, with 10 rats in each group. Fresh or frozen hUC-MSC were transplanted via the portal vein or the caudal vein, and after 4 weeks of administration, the different groups were compared in terms of the changes in liver function parameters and liver fibrosis degree. Continuous data were expressed as mean±standard deviation, and the independent-samples t test was used for comparison between two groups; a one-way analysis of variance was used for comparison between multiple groups, and the least significant difference t-test was used for further comparison between two groups. ResultsAt week 8 of modeling, the model group showed the formation of pseudolobules of different sizes in the liver and met the diagnostic criteria for liver cirrhosis, with significant increases in the levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), total bilirubin (TBil), and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) compared with the normal group (all P<0.001), suggesting that the rat model of liver cirrhosis was established successfully. There were significant differences in the levels of ALT, AST, TBil, and ALP between the five groups (F=232.00, 177.10, 112.30, 121.70, all P<0.001). Further comparison between two groups showed that the model group had significantly higher levels of ALT, AST, TBil, and ALP than the normal group (all P<0.01), and the portal vein group+fresh cell preparation group, the portal vein+frozen cell preparation group, the caudal vein+fresh cell preparation group, and the caudal vein+frozen cell preparation group had significantly lower levels of ALT, AST, TBil, and ALP than the model group (all P<0.01). ConclusionThere are significant improvements in liver function and liver fibrosis degree in a rat model of liver cirrhosis at week 4 after the transplantation of hUC-MSC, and frozen or fresh cell preparation and different transplantation approaches have no significant influence on treatment outcome.

【Objective】 To investigate the distribution frequency and characteristics of Rh and Kell erythrocyte blood group antigens in Uygur population in Xinjiang, and to explore the molecular mechanism of K gene positive patients, so as to build a local rare blood group bank and improve the ability of clinical blood security. 【Methods】 From June 2018 to February 2020, blood samples of 4 000 unrelated Uygur healthy individuals from the Medical Examination Center of our hospital and other cooperative hospitals across the autonomous region were selected. Rh and Kell blood group antigens were detected using K/Rh antigen microcolumn gel cards. The exons of Kell gene were amplified by PCR and then subjected to electrophoresis and direct sequencing to investigate the molecular mechanism. 【Results】 In Xinjiang Uygur healthy population, 1) The RhD negative rate was 5.675% (227/4 000), including 5 phenotypes; RhD positive rate was 94.325% (3 773/4 000), including 9 phenotypes, which were in line with Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium distribution. The C/E antigen frequency in RhD negative and positive patients was 13.216%/4.185% vs 52.876%/25.788% (P<0.05). 2) The frequency of K antigen was 2.2% (88/4 000), and 15 samples were randomly selected for exon sequencing: four types of point mutations in exon 2, exon 4, exon 6 and exon 10 were g. 363T>C, g. 412A>G, exon 6, g. 133C>T, and g. 189T>C, respectively, two of which caused changes in amino acid sequence: alanine at position 193 to methionine (p.Ala193Met) and alanine 423 to valine (p.al423Val). The prediction of RNA secondary structure and protein conformation after mutation using relevant biological information software found that the mutation caused changes in RNA secondary structure, free energy, protein conformation and function. 【Conclusion】 The frequency of RhD antigen negative in Xinjiang Uygur population was higher than that in other ethnic groups, and the distribution of C/E antigen was different in D antigen negative/positive patients. The distribution of K antigen in Kell blood group system was higher than that in other ethnic groups (P<0.05). The primary and secondary structure changes of nascent peptide chain caused by a single point mutation in Kell gene may be one of the molecular mechanisms of K antigen positivity.

Objective:To analyze clinical features, prognosis and risk factors of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) associated pulmonary hypertension (PH).Methods:Clinical data of 338 infants with BPD were collected from the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) in Shenzhen Maternity and Child Healthcare Hospital, Southern Medical University between January 2016 and December 2018. These infants were divided into PH group and non-PH group. The clinical features and prognosis were compared between these two groups by Chi-square test or nonparametric test. Risk factors for BPD-PH were analyzed with binary logistic regression model.Results:Among the 338 BPD infants, 314 had no PH (92.9%) and 24 had PH (7.1%), with an average gestational age of (27.1±1.8) weeks, and 206 were males and 132 females.PH infants had younger gestational age ((26.4±2.1) vs. (27.2±1.7) weeks, t=2.201, P=0.028) and lower birth weight ((798±255) vs. (1 003±240) g, t=4.030, P<0.01), compared to non-PH infants. Besides, duration of mechanical ventilation and non-invasive positive pressure ventilation were higher in PH group than that in non-PH group (14.3 (2.1, 43.7) vs. 0.5 (0, 4.7) d, Z=-4.553, P<0.01; 30.0 (22.5, 64.2) vs. 15.0 (7.0, 26.0) d, Z=-4.838, P<0.01). The proportions of maternal hypertension, small for gestational age (SGA), late onset sepsis, ventilator associated pneumonia, hemodynamically significant patent ductus arteriosus (hsPDA), patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) requiring ligation, severe BPD and severe extrauterine growth retardation (EUGR) were higher in PH group than those in non-PH group ((20.8% (5/24) vs. 6.4% (20/314), 33.3% (8/24) vs. 7.6% (24/314), 54.2% (13/24) vs. 7.3% (23/314), 25.0% (6/24) vs. 6.1% (19/314), 75.0% (18/24) vs. 39.2% (123/314), 45.8% (11/24) vs. 1.9% (6/314), 66.7% (16/24) vs. 7.3% (23/314), 75.0% (18/24) vs. 45.5% (143/314), all P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that maternal hypertension ( OR=12.950, 95 %CI: 1.740-96.385), severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia ( OR=10.160, 95 %CI: 2.725-37.884), SGA ( OR=4.992, 95 %CI: 1.432-16.920), PDA requiring ligation ( OR=19.802, 95 %CI: 3.297-118.921), severe EUGR ( OR=20.316, 95 %CI: 2.221-185.853) were independent risk factors of BPD associated PH. In the 24 infants with PH, all 7 mild PH infants and 8 moderate PH infants survived, while 4 out of 9 severe PH infants died. Among the survivors, the longest duration of oxygen therapy was up to the corrected gestational age of 1 year and 2 months. Conclusions:PH is a severe complication of BPD, and associated with higher mortality and poor prognosis. Echocardiography screening and regular post-discharge follow up are recommended for BPD infants with risk factors of PH.
