OBJECTIVE: To analyze a Chinese pedigree with Hereditary coagulation factor Ⅻ (FⅫ) deficiency duo to variants of F12 gene and explore its molecular pathogenesis. METHODS: A patient who underwent laparoscopic cystectomy at the Department of Gynecology of the First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University in June 2012 was selected as the study subject. Coagulation factor indexes of the proband and her family members (5 individuals from three generations) were determined. All exons, flanking sequences, 5' and 3' untranslated regions of the F12 gene of the proband and her family members were analyzed by direct sequencing. Three bioinformatics software was used to analyze the conservation, pathogenicity and protein model of the variant. This study was approved by the Medical Ethics Committee of the Hospital (Ethics No. 2012-17). RESULTS: The activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), FⅫ activity (FⅫ:C) and FⅫ antigen (FⅫ:Ag) of the proband was 180.0 s, 1.0% and 2.1%, respectively. DNA sequencing revealed that she has harbored compound heterozygous variants of the F12 gene, namely c.712_713insT (p.Cys238Leufs *73) in exon 8 and c.1561G>A (p.Glu521Lys) in exon 13. Her mother and younger son were heterozygous for the p.Cys238Leufs*73 variant, while her older son was heterozygous for the p.Glu521Lys variant. Bioinformatic analysis suggested that Cys238 is highly conserved and p.Cys238Leufs*73 is a pathogenic variant, which eventually resulted in a truncated protein. CONCLUSION The c.712_713insT and c.1561G>A compound heterozygous variants of the F12 gene probably underlay the decreased FⅫ level in this pedigree, among which c.712_713insT (NM_000505) was unreported previously.

Efferocytosis refers to the process by which apoptotic cells are engulfed and cleared by phagocytes， including professional phagocytes， such as macrophages and dendritic cells， and non-professional phagocytes， such as epithelial cells. Liver macrophages are the main cells with the function of efferocytosis in the liver. In recent years， an increasing number of studies have shown that various acute and chronic liver diseases are associated with the efferocytosis function of liver macrophages， including acute liver injury， alcoholic liver disease， nonalcoholic fatty liver disease， autoimmune liver disease， liver fibrosis， and liver cancer. This article elaborates on the expression of molecules associated with the efferocytosis function of macrophages， the process of efferocytosis， and the role of efferocytosis function in different liver diseases， so as to provide new ideas for the treatment of liver diseases.

Abstract: This study aims to find out the causes for the dissolution of unqualified samples found during evaluation sampling of lansoprazole enteric-coated preparations by the laser infrared imaging system and orbitrap high resolution mass spectrometry, with suggestions for improvement. Lansoprazole enteric-coated preparations were tested by current standard, the dissolution of a batch of samples was below the limit and other items were in line with the standard. Considering that this product is unstable to acid and alkali, the following exploratory experiments were designed from different dimensions, based on the conclusion of the unannounced inspection of the company, to explore the reasons for the unqualified batch, including the influence of high-temperature and high-humidity storage environment on the key quality properties of the sample, the influence of 2-hour acid resistance test on dissolution result, the imaging of the core and the measure of coating layer thickness, the optimization of chromatographic conditions of related substances, and the analysis of the source of impurities. It was found that improper storage in circulation and poor coating process caused the low dissolution of this batch: the high-temperature and high-humidity storage environment possible in the circulation process led to the decreasing efficacy of disintegrating agent in the samples and thus the difficulty to release the active pharmaceutical ingredient fully; the coating solution could not be uniformly sprayed on the core, resulting in thin isolation layer and different thickness, which then affected the protection of the main drug against acid degradation. The above two reasons together resulted in unqualified dissolution of this batch. The overall quality of lansoprazole enteric-soluble preparation is good, but the formulation and process in some companies need to be optimized; and the temperature and humidity in the circulation process need to be controlled in strict accordance with the regulations.

Objectives To evaluate the complications predicting efficacy of the American College of Surgeons(ACS)National Surgical Quality Improvement Program(NSQIP)surgical risk calculator for cervical cancer patients undergoing open radical hysterectomy in China.Methods This study enrolled the cervical cancer patients(139 cases)undertaken open radical hysterectomy at Women's Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from Janu-ary to December in 2021.Preoperative risk factors were abstracted from medical records and the surgical risk scores were calculated using ACS NSQIP surgical risk calculator.The association between risk scores and actual outcomes were assessed using logistic regression together with the c-statistic(area under ROC)and Brier score.Results The ACSNSQIP calculator did not predict accurately for serious complications,any complications,venous thrombo-embolism(VTE),readmission,return operation room and surgical site infection(SSI)compared with actual out-comes.There was significantly difference in the predicted and actual length of stay(3.93±0.42 days vs.13.11±4.71 days,P<0.001).Conclusions The ACS NSQIP surgical risk calculator failed to predict the postoperative complications and the length of hospital stay for cervical cancer patients undergoing open radical hysterectomy.

Primary biliary cholangitis （PBC） is an autoimmune liver disease characterized by progressive and non-purulent inflammation of small- and medium-sized bile ducts in the liver. Recent studies have shown that abnormal lipid metabolism is relatively common in patients with PBC， and 76% of PBC patients have dyslipidemia. The effects and harms of dyslipidemia have attracted much attention. Lipid metabolism disorders play an important role in the progression of PBC. This article mainly reviews the research advances in the manifestation， role， diagnosis， and treatment of lipid metabolism disorders in PBC， so as to provide new ideas for the treatment of PBC.
