Department of Kidney Transplantation, the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University reported a case of vasoplegic syndrome (VS). During a livingdonor kidney transplantation, the patient developed abrupt hypotension immediately after allograft reperfusion, with blood pressure dropping to 50/30 mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa). The diagnosis of VS was confirmed through multidisciplinary consultation, integration of clinical indicators, and ultrasonographic assessment. Management included vasopressor therapy (dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine), fluid resuscitation, blood transfusion, and albumin administration. Hemodynamics were subsequently stabilized, and kidney allograft function returned to normal. At more than three months of followup, both kidney function and blood pressure remained stable.

Objective To establish an animal model of anterior displacement of the temporomandibular joint disc in rabbits and ob-serve the pathological changes of condylar cartilage under stress by using HE staining,immunohistochemical staining and immunofluo-rescence staining.Methods Thirty adult New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided into a Sham operation group and four ex-perimental groups,with six rabbits in each group.The Sham operation group underwent a sham operation,while the experimental groups were used to establish an animal model of anterior displacement of the temporomandibular joint disc.The experimental groups were further divided into a model group(no postoperative treatment),a 2-APB(TRPM7 inhibitor)group,a PDTC(NF-κB specific inhibitor)group,and a Diclofenac group.Two weeks after the operation,the experimental animals were sacrificed,and pathological sections of the condylar cartilage were made.HE staining was used to observe the pathological changes of the condylar cartilage,and immunohistochemical staining and immunofluorescence staining were used to observe the expression of NF-κB and its inflammatory fac-tors.Results ① HE staining showed that the pathological changes of the condylar cartilage were obvious at the 2nd week.Compared with the 2-APB group,PDTC group,and Diclofenac group,the pathological changes in the model group were more obvious.② Immu-nohistochemical staining showed that the expression of TRPM7,NF-κB,IL-1,IL-6,TNF-α and MMP-3 in the model group was higher than that in the sham operation group.After treatment with 2-APB,PDTC or diclofenac,the expression of TRPM7,NF-κB,IL-1,IL-6,TNF-α and MMP-3 decreased.③ Immunofluorescence staining showed that the expression of NF-κB in the model group was higher than that in the sham operation group.After treatment with 2-APB,PDTC or diclofenac,the expression of NF-κB decreased.Conclu-sion ① Under stress,the condylar bone undergoes early remodeling,and the apoptosis of condylar chondrocytes increases with the extension of loading time within a certain period.② Diclofenac,2-APB and PDTC can all reduce the apoptosis of condylar cells,and inflammatory factors also play an important role in the apoptosis of condylar chondrocytes.

Objective To investigate the characteristics of peripheral blood in the treatment of aplastic anemia(AA)with Bushen Shengxue Method and Yiqi Yangxue Method combined with Western medicine.Methods Totally 492 AA patients who were treated in 19 centers including Xiyuan Hospital China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences from September 2018 to March 2021 were selected,and were randomized into three groups:161 cases in the Bushen Shengxue group,164 cases in the Yiqi Yangxue group,and 167 cases in the control group.All three groups were orally administered cyclosporine and androgens.Bushen Shengxue group was given Bushen Shengxue Granules,Yiqi Yangxue group was given Yiqi Yangxue Granules,and the control group was given placebo(half dosage of Bushen Shengxue granules).The general data,overall efficacy,and peripheral blood at the 1st month,the 4th month,and 6th month after treatment were analyzed.Results The total effective rate of Bushen Shengxue group was 98.8％(159/161),which was significantly higher than that of Yiqi Yangxue group(79.9％)and the control group(61.7％),with statistical significance(P＜0.001);The total effective rate of Yiqi Yangxue group was significantly higher than that of the control group(P＜0.001).Compared with before treatment,the hemoglobin(HGB)levels of all three groups of patients significantly increased after treatment(P＜0.001,P＜0.01),and the platelet levels of Bushen Shengxue group and the control group significantly increased after treatment(P＜0.001);after treatment,the HGB levels in the three groups were ranked from high to low as the Bushen Shengxue group,Yiqi Yangxue group and the control group(P＜0.01).25％of patients had HGB levels exceeding 20％of baseline values,Bushen Shengxue group took 1 month,while Yiqi Yangxue group and control group took 4 months;25％of patients had an increase in HGB levels exceeding 50％of the baseline value,Bushen Shengxue group took 6 months,while Yiqi Yangxue group and control group took more than 6 months.At 6 months,the number of patients with HGB elevation exceeding 20％and 50％of baseline values in Bushen Shengxue group was higher than that in Yiqi Yangxue group and the control group(P＜0.05,P＜0.001).25％of patients had white blood cell elevation exceeding 50％of the baseline value,Bushen Shengxue group took 4 months,Yiqi Yangxue group took 6 months,and the control group took more than 6 months.25％of patients showed an increase in platelet levels exceeding 100％of the baseline value,Bushen Shengxue group took 4 months,while Yiqi Yangxue group and control group took 6 months;at 6 months,the number of patients in Bushen Shengxue group and Yiqi Yangxue group with platelet elevation exceeding 20％of the baseline value was significantly higher than that in the control group(P＜0.01,P＜0.05).Conclusion Bushen Shengxue method combined with Western medicine intreating AA is better than the method of Yiqi Yangxue method combined with Western medicine.In terms of improving HGB,it is reflected in shortening the recovery time and increasing the number of beneficiaries,and the dosage can affect the recovery time and the number of beneficiaries at the same time;in terms of improving white blood cell and platelet,it is reflected in shortening the recovery time,and the dosage can affect the recovery time.

Objective:To investigate the ameliorative effects of N-acetyl-D-mannosamine(ManNAc) on glucose and lipid metabolic disorders in obese mice.Methods:In vivo experiments were conducted using 21 four-week-old C57BL/6JGpt mice, randomly divided into three groups( n=7 per group): a normal control group, a high-fat diet(HFD) control grooup, and a ManNAc treatment group(400 mg·kg -1·d -1). The intervention lasted for 20 weeks. Body weight, food intake, and fasting blood glucose levels were monitored weekly. Glucose tolerance tests(GTT), insulin sensitivity tests(ITT), and respiratory metabolism monitoring were performed in the 17th, 18th, and 19th weeks, respectively. At the end of the experiment, whole-body fat distribution was assessed, and serum lipid profiles were measured. Liver and adipose tissue weights were recorded, and histological analyses including HE staining of liver, adipose and pancreatic tissues were performed. Liver transcriptome sequencing and quantitative real-time PCR(qPCR) were conducted to evaluate hepatic gene expression. In vitro, a hepatic steatosis model was established by inducing HepG2 cell with 0.4 mmol/L oleic acid, followed by treatment with 500 μg/mL ManNAc. Lipid accumulation was assessed using BODIPY staining, and the expression of lipid metabolism-related genes was quantified by qPCR. Results:ManNAc administration attenuated HFD-induced weight gain, reduced total body fat volume, and decreased liver and adipose tissue weights as well as intracellular lipid accumulation. Pancreatic islet numbers increased, while fasting blood glucose levels, glucose tolerance, and insulin sensitivity significantly improved. Serum levels of triglycerides, total cholesterol, and low-density lipoprotein levels were decreased, accompanied by enhanced energy expenditure. Additionally, hepatic expression of Cd36, Fabp3, and Scd1 was downregulated. In vitro, ManNAc significantly reduced lipid accumulation in HepG2 cells and downregulated the expression of Cd36, Fabp3, and Scd1 genes.Conclusion:ManNAc may improve glucose and lipid metabolism by modulating the PPARs-mediated fatty acid metabolic pathway, reducing lipogenesis, promoting fatty acid oxidation and energy expenditure, and enhancing insulin sensitivity, ultimately ameliorating disorders in obese mice.

Objective:To compare the efficacy and safety of irradiation-incorporated and chemotherapy only-based myeloablative conditioning regimens in haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (haplo-HSCT) for patients with high-risk myeloid malignancies.Methods:This study retrospectively collected clinical data from 63 high-risk acute myeloid leukemia/myelodysplastic syndrome (AML/MDS) patients who underwent haplo-HSCT at the Fifth Medical Center of the Chinese PLA General Hospital from January 2015 to December 2019. These patients were classified into the irradiation ( n = 17) and chemotherapy ( n = 46) groups based on different conditioning regimens. The differences between the two groups were compared in terms of hematopoietic reconstitution, cumulative incidence of acute/chronic graft-versus-host diseases (aGVHD and cGVHD), non-relapse mortality (NRM), relapse rate (RR), overall survival (OS), and disease-free survival (DFS), followed by the analysis of prognostic factors. Results:The median follow-up time for the irradiation and chemotherapy groups was 78.5 and 72.3 months, respectively. The median time for neutrophil engraftment was 14.0 days in the irradiation group and 14.5 d in the chemotherapy group, and for platelet engraftment was 15.0 and 13.0 d, respectively. As a result, the two groups showed no statistically significant differences in hematopoietic reconstitution ( P > 0.05). The cumulative incidence of aGVHD and cGVHD was higher in the irradiation group compared to the chemotherapy group, yet showing no statistically significant differences ( P > 0.05). Specifically, the cumulative incidence of grade Ⅱ-Ⅳ aGVHD within 100 d was 29.4% and 21.7% for the irradiation and chemotherapy groups, respectively. The cumulative incidence of grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ aGVHD was 23.5% and 13.0%, respectively. The cumulative incidence of severe cGVHD within five years was 11.8% in the irradiation group and 8.7% in the chemotherapy group. In terms of long-term survival, the cumulative 5\|year RR and NRM were 20.2% and 28.4% in the irradiation group, 5.9% and 23.9% in the chemotherapy group, respectively, showing no statistically significant differences ( P > 0.05). The 5-year DFS and OS rates were 73.9% and 47.7% in the irradiation group, and 81.1% and 54.4% in the chemotherapy group, respectively, without statistically significant differences ( P > 0.05). Notably, the irradiation group manifested more favorable DFS and OS survival curves compared to the chemotherapy group. The survival curves indicate that the irradiation-incorporated regimen exhibited better trends in OS, DFS, and cGVHD-free relapse-free survival (GRFS). However, multivariate analysis did not reveal that irradiation conditioning is an independent prognostic factor affecting survival [ HR = 0.532 (0.163-1.735), 0.370 (0.091-1.516), 0.683 (0.248-1.882), P > 0.05]. Conclusions:In haplo-HSCT for high-risk myeloid malignancies, the irradiation-incorporated conditioning regimen demonstrates lower RR and NRM, higher DFS and OS, and potentially superior survival outcomes compared to the chemotherapy only-based regimen. Therefore, the irradiation-incorporated conditioning regimen may be preferentially considered in haplo-HSCT.

Objective To investigate the distribution and antimicrobial resistance profiles of clinically isolated Haemophilus influenzae and Moraxella catarrhalis in hospitals across China from 2015 to 2021,and provide evidence for rational use of antimicrobial agents.Methods Data of H.influenzae and M.catarrhalis strains isolated from 2015 to 2021 in CHINET program were collected for analysis,and antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed by disc diffusion method or automated systems according to the uniform protocol of CHINET.The results were interpreted according to the CLSI breakpoints in 2022.Beta-lactamases was detected by using nitrocefin disk.Results From 2015 to 2021,a total of 43 642 strains of Haemophilus species were isolated,accounting for 2.91％of the total clinical isolates and 4.07％of Gram-negative bacteria in CHINET program.Among the 40 437 strains of H.influenzae,66.89％were isolated from children and 33.11％were isolated from adults.More than 90％of the H.influenzae strains were isolated from respiratory tract specimens.The prevalence of β-lactamase was 53.79％in H.influenzae strains.The H.influenzae strains isolated from children showed higher resistance rate than the strains isolated from adults.Overall,779 strains of H.influenzae did not produce β-lactamase but were resistant to ampicillin(BLNAR).Beta-lactamase-producing strains showed significantly higher resistance rates to these antimicrobial agents than the β-lactamase-nonproducing strains.Of the 16 191 M.catarrhalis strains,80.06％were isolated from children and 19.94％isolated from adults.M.catarrhalis strains were mostly susceptible to both amoxicillin-clavulanic acid and cefuroxime,evidenced by resistance rate lower than 2.0％.Conclusions The emergence of antibiotic-resistant H.influenzae due to β-lactamase production poses a challenge for clinical anti-infective treatment.Therefore,it is very important to implement antibiotic resistance surveillance for H.influenzae and guide rational antibiotic use.All local clinical microbiology laboratories should actively improve antibiotic susceptibility testing and strengthen antibiotic resistance surveillance for H.influenzae.
