Objective To investigate the effect and mechanism of melatonin in alleviating hypoxia-induced apoptosis in ovarian gra-nulosa cells.Methods Rat ovarian granulosa cells were isolated and divided into normoxic,hypoxic,and melatonin groups.Hypoxia-induced injury models were established in the hypoxic and melatonin groups,and granulosa cells in the melatonin group were treated with melatonin.A total of 24 rats were randomized into the control,model,and intervention groups(n=8 per group).Rat models of declining ovarian function induced by long-term hypoxia were established in the model and intervention groups.The rats in the intervention group were intraperitoneally injected with melatonin.Cell proliferation was measured using a CCK-8 assay,and lactate secretion and HIF-1αprotein with a specific kit,respectively.The levels of estradiol and progesterone in the cell supernatant and rat serum were detected using ELISA.Granulosa cell apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry,ovarian morphology by HE staining,and Bax and caspase-3 expression by Western blotting.Results Compared with the normoxic group,the hypoxic group exhibited decreased granulosa cell proliferation,increased apoptosis,elevated lactate and HIF-1α levels,and reduced estradiol and progesterone levels(P<0.05).Compared with hypoxic group,these changes were significantly reversed in the molatonin group(P<0.05).Compared with the control group,the model group showed increased lactate,HIF-1α,Bax,and caspase-3 levels,decreased estradiol and progesterone levels,and reduced follicles.Compared with the model group,all the indicators were ameliorated in the intervention group(P<0.05).Conclusion Melatonin alleviated hypoxia-induced granulosa cell apoptosis and promoted the recovery of ovarian function.

Objective:To explore the effect of diclofenac sodium suppository combined with tramadol sustained-release tablets on postoperative pain relief and recovery in patients with mixed hemorrhoids.Methods:Sixty patients with mixed hemorrhoids who underwent external dissection and internal ligation at the Shenzhen Traditional Chinese Medicine Proctology Hospital from September to October 2023 were selected and randomly divided into A group and AS group using a random number table method, with 30 patients in each group. The group A patients received oral tramadol sustained-release tablets 4 hours after surgery, while the group AS received diclofenac sodium suppositories for anal canal therapy in addition to the group A. Two groups were compared for postoperative pain [Visual Analog Scale (VAS)] and patient comfort [Numerical Rating Scale (NRS)], cumulative tramadol consumption, supplementary rescue pethidine needs, and adverse reactions at 4, 8, 24, and 48 hours.Resultsl:The VAS of the AS group were lower than those of the A group at 4, 8, 24, and 48 hours after surgery. The NRS scores of the group A patients at 4, 8, and 24 hours were significantly better than those of the group AS. The cumulative consumption of tramadol in the AS group at 4, 8, 24, and 48 hours after surgery was significantly lower than that in the A group; The demand rate for postoperative rescue of pethidine in the group A was significantly higher than that in the group AS. The incidence of nausea in the group A was significantly higher than that in the group AS.Conclusions:The combination of postoperative diclofenac sodium suppositories and oral tramadol sustained-release tablets for mixed hemorrhoid surgery has a significant improvement effect on pain. It can reduce the dosage of tramadol, reduce the need for rescue and supplementary analgesia, and have fewer adverse reactions.

Objective:To examine the clinical experience and efficacy of unrelated cord blood transplantation (UCBT) in the treatment of recurrent refractory Epstein-Barr virus-associated hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (EBV-HLH) in children.Methods:The clinical data of a patient with recurrent refractory EBV-HLH and intestinal perforation who was treated by UCBT in Department of Pediatrics, the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University in September 2015 and finally cured were retrospectively analyzed.Meanwhile, literature was reviewed.Results:The patient, male, 1 year and 6 months, was admitted to the hospital with " fever for 15 days, rash for 9 days" as the main complaint, mainly manifested as high fever, large liver, spleen, lymph nodes, rapidly progressing pancytopenia, liver function damage, phagocytic blood cells on bone marrow smear, diagnosed as EBV-HLH in September 2015.The patient received chemotherapy according to the HLH-2004 protocol developed by the International Association of Cell Societies.During the treatment, he suffered two recurrence during the maintenance period, and a second-line rescue treatment was adopted, namely, " Pegaspargase, Doxorubicin liposome, Etoposide and Methylprednisolone" (L-DEP regimen) chemotherapy.The complete relief of diagnostic indexes for hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis was evaluated after chemotherapy.The patient developed sudden intestinal perforation and underwent emergency surgical surgery, enteroenterostomy.After the condition was stabilized, the patient was pretreated with the " Fludarabine+ Busulfan+ Cyclophosphamide" (Flu+ BU+ CY) therapy and then treated with UCBT, with intravenous nutritional support provided during the entire process.Neutrophil and platelet implantation was implemented on day 13 and day 35 after transplantation, respectively.The chimeric rate was 100%, and the implantation was a success.Hepatic veno-occlusive disease, fungal pneumonia and skin graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) Ⅱ occurred on the 15 th day, 22 nd day and 26 th day after transplantation, respectively.The corresponding symptoms improved after treatment.On day 49 after transplantation, phase Ⅱ " enterostomy fistula" was performed.The patient was followed up to 70 months after transplantation, and generally in good condition.His symptoms relieved, and no chronic GVHD and other comorbidities occurred. Conclusions:Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is the only possible effective means of treating relapsed refractory EBV-HLH in children.In the absence of a suitable sibling or unrelated donor, unrelated cord blood stem cells can be used as a graft source.Enterostomy after intestinal perforation is not contraindicated for transplantation.

OBJECTIVE:
To assess the value of next generation sequencing (NGS) for the prevention and control of thalassemia.
METHODS:
NGS was used to sequence 3083 clinical blood samples suspected for thalassemia during initial screening. Retrospective analysis was conducted on blood samples detected with rare genotypes of thalassemia and abnormal hemoglobin.
RESULTS:
NGS analysis of the 3083 samples has found 1089 subjects with thalassemia genotypes (alpha-thelassemia genotype: 26.01%, beta-thalassemia genotype: 6.71%, and alpha-compound-beta genotype: 2.59%), which yielded a positive detection rate of 35.32%. Rare alpha-thalassemia genotypes including HBA2 c.123delG, HBA1 c.354_355insATC and Fusion gene, and rare beta-thalassemia genotypes including HBB c.-100G>A and HBB c.316-90A>G, were discovered. In addition, 19 patients were found to have abnormal hemoglobin, mainly including Hb Hamilton, Hb Hekinan II, Hb Shizuoka, Hb Owari, Hb New York, Hb J-Bangkok and Hb Port Phillip.
CONCLUSION
NGS can play a crucial role for improving of the prevention and control of thalassemia and formulating a screening system with better efficacy.

Objective To investigate the effects of down-regulation of Beclin 1, which is an autophagy regulatory molecule, expression induced by RNA interference on the proliferation and apoptosis in skin fibroblasts of naked mole rat. Methods The expression levels of Beclin 1 were detected after starvation or H2 O2 treatment.The fibroblasts were transi-ently transfected with specific siRNA targeting Beclin 1 and then screened by real-time PCR and Western blot.Cell prolifer-ation and apoptosis were determined using CCK-8 detection kit and flow cytometry ( FCM ) .The expressions of related genes were detected by Western blot.Results The expression of Beclin 1 gene at mRNA and protein levels was signifi-cantly lower in fibroblasts of the naked mole rat.Starvation and H2 O2 treatment induced changes of the Beclin 1 expression. Inhibition of Beclin 1 gene expression can inhibit cell proliferation and induce early and late apoptosis.The protein levels of p53, BAX, Bcl2, LC3B, p-AKT and mTOR were reduced after transient transfection with Beclin 1-siRNA.Conclusions The expression of Beclin 1 in fibroblasts of naked mole rat are changed in response to starvation or H2 O2 stimulation.Inhi-bition of Beclin 1 gene expression can inhibit cell proliferation and induce apoptosis.Therefore, Beclin1 gene may play a regulatory role in autophagy, proliferation and apoptosis in the skin fibroblasts of naked mole rat.
