Objective:To investigate alterations in the immune lineage of T-cell large granular lymphocytic leukemia (T-LGLL) at the single-cell transcriptome level and to elucidate its pathogenic mechanisms.Methods:Peripheral blood samples were collected from 5 T-LGLL patients before and after treatment (from June 2019 to December 2020) and 3 healthy controls at the Institute of Hematology & Blood Diseases Hospital, CAMS & PUMC. Single-cell transcriptome sequencing libraries were prepared and sequenced using 10× Genomics technology. Differentially expressed genes in immune cells were compared between patients and healthy donors, followed by pathway enrichment analyses.Results:Profiling 67,237 immune cells revealed that, in T-LGLL: 1) Effector CD8+ T cells exhibited increased numbers, enhanced cytotoxicity, and greater proliferative capacity. Following effective immunosuppressive therapy, both the proliferative capacity and effector functions of these cells significantly decreased ( P<0.05). 2) The proportion of regulatory T (Treg) cells was reduced, accompanied by increased apoptosis. After effective immunosuppressive therapy leading to remission, Treg cell proportions increased, and apoptotic pathways were downregulated ( P<0.05). 3) Antigen-presenting cells (APCs) showed enhanced functionality. Monocytes and dendritic cells were enriched in antigen synthesis and presentation pathways, while B cells displayed increased antigen-binding capacity and were enriched in pathways related to T-cell activation ( P<0.05). 4) Natural killer (NK) cells exhibited attenuated cytotoxic function but demonstrated an enhanced regulatory capacity over T cells ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:T-LGLL patients present a characteristic immunological profile marked by an imbalance in immune homeostasis. This profile includes abnormal activation and expansion of effector CD8 + T cells, and a reduction in Treg cell numbers accompanied by functional impairment. Furthermore, APCs and NK cells were found to positively regulate T-lymphocyte activation, differentiation, and proliferation.

Objective To investigate the current status of quality of life and its influencing factors in elderly patients with minor amputations of the diabetic foot,providing a basis for medical staff to formulate intervention strategies.Methods A convergent mixed study design was used.A single-centre cross-sectional survey research method was used to select 168 elderly patients with minor amputation of the diabetic foot admitted to the Department of Wound Repair of a tertiary-level hospital in Beijing from May 2022 to May 2024 for questionnaire surveys and multivariate linear regression analyses of factors affecting the quality of life.During the same period,15 patients were selected for semi-structured interviews using purposive sampling based on ternary interaction determinism.Results Quantitative findings:A total of 167 valid questionnaires were retrieved,and the recovery rate of valid questionnaires was 99.4％.the total quality of life score of 167 respondents was(84.22±12.49)scores;the results of multivariate linear regression analyses showed that age and self-care ability were the independent risk factors affecting the quality of life of patients with minor amputation of the diabetic foot(P＜0.05).Qualitative findings:a total of 3 themes were extracted based on the triadic interactive determinism,including subject level,environmental level and behavioural level.Mixed findings:age and amputation affect the physical and mental state of patients and hinders quality of life improvement;limited work and life,and scarce external resources;the level of self-care ability restricts self-management behaviours and makes it difficult to improve quality of life.Conclusion Elderly patients with minor amputations of the diabetic foot have impaired physiological and psychological health to some degree,and healthcare professionals should be concerned about the negative impact of minor amputations on elderly diabetic foot patients,while also focusing on their individual needs and providing support.

Objective:To determine the effects of preperitoneal balloon (PPB) tamponade with different volumes of fluid on hemodynamically unstable pelvic fracture-associated arterial and venous hemorrhage in a swine model.Methods:A model of open-book pelvic fracture with injuries to external iliac vessels was established in 18 female 12-month old Bama miniature pigs. After the successful establishment of hemodynamically unstable pelvic fracture with vascular injury was confirmed by contrast agent imaging, the animals were randomized into 3 even groups ( n=6): a control group (group C) subjected to PPB tamponade with 0 mL fluid injected, group T1 subjected to PPB tamponade with 500-mL fluid injected, and group T2 subjected to PPB tamponade with 1,000-mL fluid injected. The 3 groups were compared in terms of 60-min survival rate, balloon pressure, peritoneal pressure, bladder pressure, 70-min survival rate, blood loss, and infusion volume. Results:There was no statistically significant difference in the basic hemodynamic or other experimental indicators among the 3 groups before experiment, indicating comparability ( P>0.05). The 60-min survival rate in group T2 was 100.0% (6/6), significantly higher than those in group C and group T1 [0.0% (0/6), 0.0% (0/6)] ( P<0.05). After fluid injection, the balloon pressure and preperitoneal pressure in group T2 were respectively (127.2±4.7) mmHg and (34.5±3.6) mmHg, significantly higher than those in group T1 [(78.7±3.8) mmHg and (13.7±2.8) mmHg] and in group C [0 mmHg and (9.0±1.4) mmHg], and the 2 indicators in group T1 were significantly higher than those in group C (all P<0.05). After fluid injection, there was no statistically significant difference among groups C, T1, and T2 in bladder pressure [(6.7±1.0) mmHg, (5.8±1.9) mmHg, and (6.0±1.1) mmHg] or in bleeding volume [(1,163.0±191.3) mL, (1,212.0±148.4) mL, and (975.0±133.2) mL] (all P≥ 0.05). The infusion volume in group T1 [(1,250.0±225.8) mL] was significantly larger than that in group C [(951.7±177.8) mL] ( P<0.05). No colorectal or bladder injuries were found by the anatomy of the experimental animals in 3 groups. Conclusions:PPB tamponade with 1,000-mL fluid injected in a swine model can efficiently control pelvic fracture-associated arterial and venous hemorrhage, and increase the 60-min survival rate with no colorectal or bladder injuries.

OBJECTIVE：To study the pr otective effect of schisandrin A （SA）on CCl 4-induced liver fibrosis model mice and its mechanism. METHODS ：Mice were randomly divided into blank control group ，model group ，silymarin group （positive control，100 mg/kg），SA low-dose and high-dose groups （20，40 mg/kg），with 10 mice in each group. Except for blank control group，other groups were given CCl 4 subcutaneously to induce liver fibrosis model. After successful modeling ，administration groups were given relevant medicine intragastrically ，once a day ，for consecutive 6 weeks；blank control group and model group were given constant volume of 0.5％sodium carboxymethyl cellulose solution intragastrically by the same way. HE staining was used to observe the pathological changes of liver tissue in mice. UV spectrophotometry and ELISA assay were adopted to detect the serum levels of liver injury indexes （ALT and AST ）and the contents of inflammatory factors （TNF-α，IL-1β，IL-6）. Western blotting assay was used to detect the expression of NOD like receptor protein 3（NLRP3）/NF-κB and TGF-β/Smad signaling pathway protein. RESULTS ：Compared with blank control group ，obvious pathological changes of liver fibrosis were observed in model group. The serum levels of liver injury indexes and contents of inflammatory factors were significantly increased （P＜0.01）. The expression of NLRP 3，apoptosis associated spot-like protein ，Caspase-1 and IL- 1β，TGF-β1 and ratios ofp-NF-κB p65/NF-κB p65，p-IκBα/IκBα，p-Samd3/Smad3 were increased significantly （P＜0.01）. Compared with model group ，SA could significantly relieve hepatic fibrosis in mice ，reduce serum levels of liver injury indexes and contents of inflammatory factors ，as well as the expression of NLRP 3/NF-κB and TGF-β/Smad signaling pathway protein and phosphorylation level（P＜0.01）. CONCLUSIONS ： SA can effectively relieve liver injury and inflammation of CCl 4-induced hepatic fibrosis model mice ，which may be through the regulation of NLRP 3/NF-κB and TGF-β/Smad3 signaling pathways ，thus inhibiting the process of liver fibrosis.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of dexmedetomidine mixed with sufentanil for patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) in the patients undergoing transcatheter hepatic arterial chemoembolization (TACE).Methods One hundred and twenty patients of both sexes,aged 40-65 yr,weighing 45-80 kg,of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅰ-Ⅲ,scheduled for elective TACE under monitored anesthesia care,were divided into 2 groups (n =60 each) using a random number table:sufentanil group (S group) and dexmedetomidine mixed with sufentanil group (DS group).At 15 min prior to surgery,0.1 μg/kg sufentanil and 5 mg tropisetron were intravenously injected in both groups.In addition,dexmedetomidine 0.6 μg/kg was intravenously infused for 15 min in DS group,while the equal volume of normal saline was given instead in S group.PCIA solution contained sufentanil 2 μg/kg and tropisetron 5 mg in 100 ml of normal saline in S group.PCIA solution contained sufentanil 2 μg/kg,dexmedetomidine 2.μg/kg and tropisetron 5 ng in 100 ml of normal saline in DS group.The PCIA pump was programmed to deliver a 0.5 ml bolus dose with a lockout interval of 15 min and background infusion of 2 ml/h.Observer's Assessment of Alertness/Sedation Scale scores and scores for patient's satisfaction with analgesia were recorded at 30 min and 2,6,12,24 and 48 h after surgery.The pressing times of PCIA,total consumption of sufentanil and requirenent for morphine as rescue analgesics were recorded.The development of requirement for antiemetics,nausea and vomiting,bradycardia,respiratory depression and agitation was also recorded during analgesia.Results Compared with S group,the pressing times of PCIA,total consumption of sufentanil and requirement for morphine were significantly reduced,scores for satisfaction with analgesia were increased,and Observer's Assessment of Alertness/Sedation Scale scores were decreased (P＜0.05),and no significant change was found in the incidence of nausea and vomiting,additional requirement for antiemetics,bradycardia,respiratory depression or agitation in DS group (P＞0.05).Conclusion Dexmedetomidine mixed with sufentanil produces better efficacy than sufentanil alone when used for PCIA in the patients undergoing TACE.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the produce of extended-spectrum ?-lactamases(ESBLs) and the presence of genotype of the ?-lactamases-encoding genes in Klebsiella pneumoniae isolated from the 98th Hospital of PLA,Huzhou,Zhejiang Province,China.METHODS Twenty-five strains of K.pneumoniae were isolated from the inpatients between Sep 2005 and Apr 2006.ESBLs were tested by phenotypic confirmatory tests recommended by CLSI.Twenty-one kinds of ?-lactamases genes of blaTEM,blaSHV,blaLEN,blaOKP,blaCTX-M-1 group,blaCTX-M-2 group,blaCTX-M-9 group,blaOXA-1 group,blaOXA-2 group,blaOXA-10 group,blCARB,blaPER,blaVEB,blaGES,blaLAP,blaDHA,blaACT/MIR,blaCMY/MOX,blaFOX,blaCMY/LAT,and blaACC were analyzed by PCR and verified by DNA sequencing.RESULTS In 25 strains of K.pneumoniae,the positive,negative,and "uncertainty" rates of ESBLs were 56.0%,20.0%,and 24.0%,respectively.The positive rate of genes of blaTEM,blaSHV,blaCTX-M-1 group,blaOXA-10 group,blaLAP,and blaDHA were 80.0%,4.0%,4.0%,80.0%,4.0% and 32.0%,respectively.The 15 kinds of rest genes were all tested negative.The total positive rate of 21 kinds of ?-lactamases gene was 92.0%.Among them,the blaLAP-2 gene sequence of the HZ12593 strain has been registered in GenBank(GenBank Accession Number: EU529981).CONCLUSIONS There are higher rate of ESBLs-producing strains in K.pneumoniae isolated from the inpatients,and at least 6 kinds of ?-lactamases gene existed.Both genes of blaTEM and blaOXA-10 group are the most common genotypes.Carring blaDHA Gene may influence the result of phenotypic confirmatory test for ESBLs in K.pneumoniae.

Objective To study the effects of zinc on the expression of zinc transporter-7( ZnT-7) in the proliferation of the rat growth plate chondrocytes. Methods Growth plate chondrocytes were isolated from rih cartilage of Wistar rat. The cell3 were treated with zinc chelating agent N, N, N', N'-tetrakis (2-pyridylmethyl )ethylene-diamine (TPEN) of different concentration (0,5,10 and 20 μmol/L) for 12 horns. The expression of rat growth plate chondrocytes specificity collagen type Ⅱ was detected by immunohisloehemistiy. The localization of ZnT-7 was checked by immunofluorescent staining. Real-time RT-PCR and Western blot were used to measure the expression level of ZNT-7 in the cell. Results The result of the immunofluorescence showed that ZnT-7 located in the Golgi apparatus. The expression level of ZnT-7 was slightly higher in the cells treated with 5 μ-mol/L TPEN than the control group, while it was lower in the cells treated with 10 or 20 μmol/L TPEN than the control group. Conclusion ZnT-7 locates in Golgi apparatus and maintains the zinc ion stabilization in the condition of the zinc depletion.
