OBJECTIVE To explore the effects of CD20 coding gene (MS4A1) polymorphism on the blood concentration and efficacy of rituximab in patients with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. METHODS A prospective observational study was conducted on 160 newly diagnosed non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma patients who received the R-CHOP regimen at the Sun Yat Sen University Cancer Center from January 2016 to December 2020, with a minimum follow-up period of approximately 5 years. The blood concentration of rituximab was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. MS4A1 tagSNPs were selected by Haploview4.2 software, including rs1051461, rs17155034, rs4939364, and rs10501385. The genotype of MS4A1 was detected by Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Univariate linear regression analysis was employed to examine the correlation between various factors(demographic, clinical, and genotypic variables) in patients and the steady-state trough concentration of rituximab during the first course of treatment, followed by multivariate linear regression analysis. Kaplan-Meier curves were drawn to evaluate progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). Using MS4A1 genotype and tumor stage as independent variables, Cox regression model was employed to evaluate the factors influencing patient prognosis. RESULTS The blood concentration of rituximab in MS4A1 rs10501385 CC carriers was 15.20 μg/mL,which was significantly lower than 21.95 μg/mL in AA+AC carriers (P<0.05). The multivariate linear regression model incorporating tumor stage and MS4A1 rs10501385 polymorphism explained 7.3% of the interindividual variability in rituximab concentrations. Compared with MS4A1 rs1051461 CC carriers, CT+TT carriers had significantly prolonged PFS and OS (P<0.05). The Cox proportional hazards regression model showed that the MS4A1 rs1051461 CC genotype (HR=4.406, 95%CI:1.743-11.137, P<0.05) and tumor Ⅲ&Ⅳ (HR=3.233, 95%CI: 1.413-7.399, P<0.05) were independent risk factors for PFS. CONCLUSIONS The tumor staging and MS4A1 rs10501385 polymorphism are key influencing factors for blood concentration of rituximab, and MS4A1 rs1051461 polymorphism significantly affects PFS in non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma patients.

Objective To track and evaluate the implementation and application of the occupational health standard Radiation shielding requirements for radiotherapy room—Part 4: Radiotherapy room of 252Cf neutron afterloading (GBZ/T 201.4-2015) by radiation health technical service agencies, medical institutions, health supervision agencies, and radiotherapy facility design units, and to provide a scientific basis for the further revision and implementation of this standard. Methods Following the Guideline for health standards tracking evaluation (WS/T 536-2017) and the project implementation plan, relevant practitioners were randomly selected for a questionnaire survey. The survey primarily focused on their awareness, standard training, application, and revision suggestions of GBZ/T 201.4-2015. The results were summarized and analyzed. Results A total of 168 evaluation questionnaires were collected from relevant practitioners in 28 provinces. Only 31.6% of the respondents reported being “well familiar” or “ familiar” with the standard, 27.4% of the respondents believed that the standard was widely used, and 45.2% of the respondents believed that the standard could meet the needs of their work. Only 14.9% of the respondents had received relevant training on the standard, more than half of the respondents had not applied the standard within the past 10 years, and 45.2% of the respondents believed that the standard "needs to be revised". Conclusion Due to the small number of californium-252 neutron afterloading radiotherapy devices in operation on the market, the overall awareness of the standard is low, suggesting that relevant authorities need to strengthen training and publicity of the standard, and that certain sections of the standard need to be revised or merged.

This study reports on three patients with Shwachman-Diamond syndrome (SDS) who underwent allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine. Based on relevant literature, the clinical manifestations and genetic mutation characteristics of SDS were summarized, and the efficacy and timing of allo HSCT for such patients were explored. Three SDS patients were all male, with transplant ages of 32, 33, and 32 years old, respectively. All three patients were diagnosed in childhood. Case 1 presented with anemia as the initial clinical manifestation, which gradually progressed to a decrease in whole blood cells; Case 2 and 3 both present with a decrease in whole blood cells as the initial clinical manifestation. Case 1 and 3 have intellectual disabilities, while case 3 presents with pancreatic steatosis and chronic pancreatitis. All three patients have short stature. Three patients all detected heterozygous mutations in the SBDS: c.258+2T>C splice site. The family members of the three patients have no clinical manifestations of SDS. All three patients were treated with a reduced dose pre-treatment regimen (Fludarabine+Busulfan+Me-CCNU+Rabbit Anti-human Thymocyte Globulin). Case 1 and case 2 underwent haploid hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, while case 3 underwent unrelated donor hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Case 1 was diagnosed with myelodysplastic syndrome transforming into acute myeloid leukemia before transplantation, but experienced early recurrence and death after transplantation; Case 2 is secondary implantation failure, dependent on platelet transfusion; Case 3 was removed from medication maintenance treatment after transplantation, and blood routine monitoring was normal.
