OBJECTIVE To discuss the impact of Wenyang lishui formula on ventricular remodeling in rats with pulmonary hypertension-induced right heart failure （RHF） based on the Hippo/Yes-associated protein （YAP） signaling pathway. METHODS Ten rats were randomly selected as the control group. The remaining 63 rats were given a single intraperitoneal injection of monocrotaline to establish the pulmonary hypertension-induced RHF model. The 50 rats that successfully underwent the model establishment were randomly divided into the RHF group， low-dose group of Wenyang lishui formula （4.25 g/kg）， high-dose group of the Wenyang lishui formula （17.00 g/kg）， furosemide group （20 mg/kg）， and high-dose group of Wenyang lishui formula+ Hippo/YAP signaling pathway activator group （17.00 g/kg of Δ Wenyang lishui formula+16 mg/kg of PY-60）， with 10 rats in each group. The rats in each group were given the corresponding drug solution or normal saline by gavage or/andtail vein injection， once a day， for 4 consecutive weeks. During the experiment， the general conditions of the rats in each group were observed； after the last administration， the right ventricular diameter， right atrial diameter， end-diastolic volume， pulmonary artery blood flow acceleration time （PAAT） and its ratio to ejection time （ET） （PAAT/ET）， pulmonary artery pressure and its ratio to pulmonary arterial flow velocity （pulmonary artery pressure/velocity） were measured. The plasma levels of brain natriuretic peptide and angiotensin Ⅱ （Ang Ⅱ） were detected. The pathological changes of the right ventricular tissue were observed， and the collagen volume fraction， the phosphorylation levels of the large tumor suppressor 1/2 （LATS1/2） and YAP， and the protein expression of the transcriptional coactivator of PDZ-binding motif （TAZ） were also detected. RESULTS Compared with the RHF group， the rats in Wenyang lishui formula low-dose and high-dose groups showed improved hair color， movement， diet， and mental state. The atrophy of right ventricular myocardial cells， the increase of inflammatory cells， collagen deposition， and hypertrophy of myocardial fibers were significantly alleviated. The right ventricular internal diameter， right atrial internal diameter， end-diastolic volume， pulmonary artery pressure， pulmonary artery pressure/velocity， the plasma levels of brain natriuretic peptide and AngⅡ ， collagen volume fraction， the phosphorylation level of YAP and protein expression of TAZ were significantly decreased， while the PAAT， PAAT/ET and the phosphorylation level of LATS1/2 were significantly increased （P＜0.05）. PY-60 could significantly reverse the improvement effects of high-dose Wenyang lishui formula on the above quantitative indicators （P＜ 0.05）. CONCLUSIONS Wenyang lishui formula can restore the right heart function of pulmonary hypertension-induced RHF rats， reduce their pulmonary artery pressure， alleviate the pathological changes in their cardiac tissues， and the above effects may be related to the activation of Hippo expression and the inhibition of YAP phosphorylation.

Lung cancer,a malignant tumor with high incidence and mortality rate,is characterized by multiple types,high malignancy and poor prognosis.Immunotherapy is to stimulate and enhance immune system of the host to achieve the purpose of controlling and killing tumor cells,and has been proven to have good therapeutic effects on many types of cancer.Immunogenic cell death(ICD)is a programmed cell death characterized by the release of large amounts of damage-associated molecular pat-terns(DAMPs).After treatment of certain chemotherapy drugs,physical therapy,biological therapy or combination therapy,lung cancer cells will undergo ICD,altering from non-immunogenic to immunogenic.Immune cells will then be recruited and ac-tivated,and finally activate and enhance anti-tumor immune response in the body.This article reviews the mechanism of ICD and the application of ICD inducers in the treatment of lung cancer.

Objective:To investigate the protective effect and mechanism of Acronychia pedunculata water extracts on UV-induced light damage of human keratinocytes.Methods:The experiment was conducted from December 2018 to April 2020 in the Guangxi Medical University Laboratory of Genetics. The photoaged keratinocyte model was used, the cells were co-cultured with different concentrations of Acronychia pedunculata water extracts. The cell proliferation rate was detected by CCK-8 method. The levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS), malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPX) and total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) of cells were detected by a test kit. The levels of IL-1β, IL-6 and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) were determined by ELISA.Results:The proliferation of HaCaT cells was promoted by 0.5 mg/L-2.0 mg/L of the extracts. Compared with control group, the proliferation rate of HaCaT cells in the experimental group was significantly increased ( P<0.05). Compared with control group, the contents of ROS was decreased ( F=214.67, P<0.05), MDA was decreased ( F=811.88, P<0.05), SOD was increased ( F=28.95, P<0.05), CAT was increased ( F=213.31, P<0.05), GPX was increased ( F=65.10, P<0.05), T-AOC was increased ( F=305.58, P<0.05), IL-1β was decreased ( F=15.46, P<0.05), IL-6 was decreased ( F=59.2, P<0.05), and TNF-α was decreased ( F=33.13, P<0.05). Conclusions:The extracts of 0.5-2.0 mg/L of Acronychia pedunculata have protective effects on the photoaging cell model, which may be related to the increase of SOD, CAT, GPX and other antioxidant enzymes and the level of T-AOC in photoaging HaCaT cells, and the decrease of ROS, MDA content and the expression of inflammatory cytokines.

Objective:To observe and analyze the clinical features, treatment methods and efficacy of patients with retinopathy associated with incontinentia pigmenti (IP).Methods:A retrospective case study. Twelve clinical confirmed IP patients (24 eyes) in Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center of Sun Yat-sen University from January 2015 to December 2018 were included in this study. The best corrected visual acuity and intraocular pressure examination were performed in patients (>4 years old). All patients were examined on the anterior segment, vitreous body, and fundus under topical anesthesia or general anesthesia. Eight cases underwent genetic testing. Patients with active disease should be given anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) drug treatment, retinal laser photocoagulation or vitrectomy, those without active disease should be observed. All patients were followed up for 1 to 3 months, with an average follow-up time of 18.7 months.Results:All patients were all female, with an average age of 6.3±9.8 years old at the first ophthalmology visit. According to the recommendations of the pediatrician, 3 cases were actively screened for ophthalmology (referrals), with an average age of 0.4±0.5 years (median age: 2 months). A total of 9 cases were not recommended for referrals (non-referrals), including 3 cases of ophthalmology who were diagnosed for the first time due to visual impairment, and 6 cases of undiagnosed IP before the ophthalmology visit, the average age of their first visit was 8.2±10.8 years (medium age: 3 years old). The age of the first visit for non-referred patients was larger than that of referrals, and the difference was statistically significant ( Z=-2.141, P=0.036). Among the 24 eyes of 12 cases, there were no obvious fundus abnormalities in 1 case or 2 eyes, 11 cases of IP-related retinopathy in 22 eyes (91.7%, 22/24), 8 cases of binocular asymmetry (66.7%, 8/12). There were active lesions on the fundus in 7 eyes (29.2%, 7/24). Patients underwent simple retinal laser photocoagulation and/or anti-VEGF drug therapy. During the follow-up, retinal neovascularization recurred in 1 eye. Among the 8 cases that underwent genetic testing, 3 cases (37.5%, 3/8) were deleted in exons 4-10 of the IKBKG gene. Conclusions:IP is more common in women. IP-associated retinopathy is noted with early-onset, asymmetrical retinopathy, which is identified with retinal neovascularization and vitreous proliferation. Early detection and timely treatment are essential.

OBJECTIVE：To systematically evaluate therapeutic efficacy of Gongliuqing capsules combined with mifepristone in the treatment of uterine leiomyoma ，in order to provide evidence-based reference for clinical medication. METHODS ：Retrieved from Cochrane Library ，PubMed，Embase，CJFD，VIP，CBM and Wanfang database ，randomized controlled trials （RCTs）about Gongliuqing capsules combined with mifepristone （trial group ）versus mifepristone alone （control group ）in the treatment of uterine leiomyoma were collected. After literature screening and data extraction ，the quality of included literatures was evaluated with modified Jadad scale. Meta-analysis was conducted by using Stata 14.0 software，and trial sequential analysis （TSA）was performed by using TSA 0.9 software. RESULTS ：A total of 12 RCTs were included ，involving 1 210 patients. The results of Meta- analysis showed that the total response rate of trial group [RR ＝1.12，95％CI（1.00，1.26），P＜0.05] was significantly higher than that of control group ；maximum uterine leiomyoma volume after treatment [SMD ＝－1.08，95％CI（－1.21，－0.95），P＜0.05]，uterine volume after treatment [SMD ＝－0.80，95％CI（－1.14，－0.45）， P＜0.05]，follicle stimulating hormone （FSH）level [SMD ＝ － 0.28，95％ CI（－ 0.45，－ 0.19），P＜0.05]，luteinizing hormone（LH）level [SMD ＝－0.44，95％CI（－0.52，－0.12）， 020-38076311。E-mail：867203217@qq.com P＜0.05]，E2 level [SMD ＝－2.69，95％CI（－3.08，－1.49）， P＜0.05] and progesterone （P）level [SMD ＝－1.27，95％CI（－1.69，－0.71），P＜0.05] of trial group were significantly lower or better than those of control group. Results of subgroup analysis showed that except for the level of FSH in 5 and 10 mg mifepristone groups （P＞0.05），maximum uterine leiomyoma volume after treatment ，uterine volume after treatment ，the levels of FSH，LH，E2 and P in trial group were significantly lower than control group. The results of TSA showed that there were definite evidences for total response rate of Gongliuqing capsules combined with mifepristone being better in the treatment of hysteromyoma. CONCLUSIONS ：Total response rate of Gongliuqing capsules combined with mifepristone in the treatment of hysteromyoma is better than mifepristone alone ，which can effectively decrease the volume of maximum uterine leiomyoma volume and uterine vilume ，and reduce the level of serum hormone.

Objective To investigate the complications of deep brain stimulation (DBS) internal pulse generator (IPG) replacement procedures and discuss the reasons,preventive measures and treatments.Methods From 2012 to 2016,285 procedures (according to the number of replacement IPG) were performed for 211 patients in our hospital.Among them,178 patients were with Parkinson's disease,29 patients were with dystonia,3 patients were with tic disorder,and one with essential tremor.Thirty-two patients previously used Medtronic replaced with local DBS with brand of PINC and Sceneray,and the other 179 patients remained the use of Medtronic brand.Furthermore,36 patients got extension cable reimplantation along with IPG replacements.Results Replacement surgeries were divided into 3 types:IPG replacement in situ;bilateral side single-channel IPG was replaced by double-channel IPG or double-channel IPG was replaced by bilateral single-channel IPG;extended cables and IPG replacement were carried out simultaneously.The follow up period was from one to 6 years for these 211 patients,and 15 got surgical-and hardware-related complications:6 with sack hemorrhage,2 with skin erosion,one with IPG rejection,3 with adaptor fracture,and 3 with impedance abnormality were recorded;no infection was noted.Twenty-six patients got significant improvement after new IPG replacement.Conclusions DBS IPG replacement operations is a regular surgery with certain safety.Personalized surgical procedures,rigorous intraoperative operation and correct postoperative management can effectively reduce and prevent the complications of IPG replacement surgery.

Objective:To observe the correlation between the B7 blocker,CD28 and cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen 4 immunoglobulin (CTLA-4Ig) impacting on Th17 and Treg cells expressed in the spleen of lupus mice and its intervention role in lupus-like symptoms of B6.MRL-Faslpr/J lupus mice.Methods:Sixteen 4-month-old female B6.MRL-Faslpr/J mice were selected and randomly divided into treatment group ( groupⅠ) and control group ( groupⅡ);injected the same amount of CTLA-4Ig and PBS intra-venously,checked their 24 hour urine protein ,ANA antibody,ds-DNA antibodies before and after the intervention.Two weeks after the intervention ,detected serum IL-17A,and the percentage of Th17 and Treg cells in their spleen.Results:Two weeks after the last inter-vention,24-hour urine protein,serum ANA and ds-DNA in groupⅠdecreased,and all the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05) compared with groupⅡ.Two weeks after the last intervention,serum IL-17A and the proportion of Th17 cells in the spleen in groupⅠwere lower than those in groupⅡ, but Treg cells in CD4+T lymphocytes was higher than that in groupⅡ,all the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05).Conclusion:CTLA4-Ig can relieve the lupus-like symptoms in lupus mice;raising the number of Treg cells and decreasing the number of Th17 cells may be one of the important mechanisms for CTLA-4Ig to alleviate lupus-like symptoms in B6.MRL-Faslpr/J mice.

OBJECTIVETo compare the clinical efficacy of HLA- mismatched related donor (MRD) and HLA-matched unrelated donor (MUD) hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) for hematopoietic malignancies.

METHODS174 patients with hematopoietic malignancies undergoing allogeneic HSCT (allo-HSCT) (82 from MRD and 92 from MUD) between June 2002 and December 2012 were enrolled in this retrospective study. Hematopoietic engraftment, graft versus host disease (GVHD), relapse, overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) were compared between MRD and MUD group.

RESULTSThere was no significant difference between MRD and MUD group in terms of age, gender, disease type and disease status before transplantation (all P>0.05). The incidence of Ⅰ-IV acute GVHD (aGVHD) was 62.2% and 54.3% in MRD and MUD group (P=0.295); the incidence of III-IV aGVHD between the two groups was 15.9% and 9.8% (P=0.229). The incidence of chronic GVHD (cGVHD) was 28.4% and 45.1% in MRD and MUD group (P=0.036), but there was no significant difference in the incidence of extensive cGVHD between the two groups (9.0% vs 12.2%, P=0.525). The mortality of GVHD was 8.5% and 10.9% in MRD and MUD group (P=0.605). The 10-year OS and DFS were (50.1±6.1)% and (48.8±6.1)% in MRD group, compared with (50.5±6.7)% and (46.3±6.2)% in MUD group (P=0.501, P=0.873, respectively). The 10-year cumulative relapse rate was (21.5±5.7)% and (37.6±7.3)% in MRD and MUD group (P=0.194).

CONCLUSIONMRD is equivalent to MUD in efficacy and safety. Without HLA- matched related donors, MRD is superior to MUD because donor source is unlimited and transplantation could be made promptly according to disease status.
