ObjectiveTo clarify the expression of TRIM28 in non-M3 acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and its correlation with clinical indicators and prognosis, and to further explore the effect of TRIM28 expression levels on the proliferation and apoptosis of AML cells using small interfering RNA. MethodsThe GSE34577 dataset was analyzed using R software to compare TRIM28 expression between healthy controls and non-M3 acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients. Clinical samples from non-M3 AML patients were collected, with TRIM28 expression levels measured using real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR). The analysis focused on correlations between TRIM28 expression and various clinical indicators, treatment efficacy, and patient prognosis. Furthermore, small interfering RNA (siRNA) technology was employed to downregulate TRIM28 expression in human primary AML cells (HL60 cell line). The effects on cell proliferation and apoptosis were then assessed through CCK-8 assays and flow cytometry, respectively. ResultsThe results showed that TRIM28 was up-regulated in non-M3 AML of both online database GSE34577 and clinical samples (P<0.000 1), TRIM28 expression of new diagnosis group and relapsed refractory group was higher than iron deficiency anemia group (P<0.01), and there was no significance between different French-American-British classification systems subtype. TRIM28 expression was higher in non-M3 AML patients with a poor genetic prognosis stratified as moderate than in the good prognosis group, and TRIM28 expression was associated with NPM1 combined with the FLT3-ITD mutation, positively correlated with age, bone marrow blast, peripheral blood blast and white blood cell, negatively correlated with hemoglobin. In addition, interference TRIM28 greatly inhibited cell proliferation and promoted cell apoptosis. ConclusionThis study reveals that TRIM28 is highly expressed in non-M3 AML and associated with prognosis, and plays a key role in the proliferation and apoptosis of AML cells, suggesting that TRIM28 may serve as a novel therapeutic target for non-M3 AML.

Objective:To analyze the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) screening status and the resulting residual risk (RR) among blood donors across 17 provincial blood centers in China.Methods:This study used a cross-sectional study. Data on HIV infection markers per 100 000 first-time donors (FD) and repeat donors (RD) from January 2015 to December 2024 were extracted from the National Blood Establishment Performance Comparison Information Management System. Questionnaires were used to collect each center′s HIV screening strategy, algorithm, serological test (ST) kit manufacturers, gray-zone setting for ST, and nucleic acid test (NAT) modality, method, and platform. The incidence-window-period model was used to calculate the residual risk for first-time donors (RR FD), repeat donors (RR RD), and total donors (RR TD) at each center. Horizontal and vertical analysis of RR FD, RR RD, and RR TD across centers and years were performed. Results:All 17 centers applied the same HIV screening strategy which was two rounds of ST followed by one round of NAT. Eight of them operated a single screening algorithm, six employed two algorithms and three used three. Eleven centers used both imported and domestic ST kits, five relied on domestic ST kits only, and one used imported ST kits only, while four centers never set a grey zone for ST throughout the decade. For NAT modalities, eight centers adopted both individual nucleic acid test (ID-NAT) and minipool nucleic acid test (MP-NAT), eight used MP-NAT only and one used ID-NAT only. Seven centers combined transcription mediated amplification (TMA) and polymerase chain reaction (PCR), nine used PCR only and one used TMA only, and fourteen centers ran both imported and domestic NAT systems, two used imported systems only and one used a domestic system only. Over the ten-year period, the mean RR FD across the centers ranged from 2.22 to 12.33 per 10 6 person-years, RR RD from 0.83 to 3.29 per 10 6 person-years and RR TD from 1.59 to 9.29 per 10 6 person-years, with center Z4 consistently showing the lowest values for all three metrics and center U4 recording the highest RR FD and RR TD, while center D2 had the highest RR RD. In 2024 compared with 2015, eleven centers achieved a lower RR FD and ten centers achieved lower RR RD and RR TD. The RR FD and RR TD of centers W2 and U4 displayed pronounced fluctuations and an upward trend in recent years. Conclusions:The 17 provincial blood centers maintain consistent HIV screening strategies, while demonstrating variations in screening algorithm, ST kit manufacturers, NAT modalities, methods, and platform. And the RR FD, RR RD, and RR TD differ across centers. Although most centers show declining trend in RR over the ten-year period, some centers exhibite data fluctuations with a rising trend, suggesting potential for further optimization of HIV screening protocols.

Objective:To establish a clinical predictive model for poor clinical outcomes in patients with secondary hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (sHLH) and to evaluate its clinical application value.Methods:Patients diagnosed with sHLH who met the study criteria and were initially admitted to the Emergency Department of Peking University People’s Hospital between September 2017 and December 2024 were enrolled. Clinical data were collected, and patients were categorized into a death group or a survival group based on clinical outcomes as the observational endpoint. Differences in clinical data between the two groups were compared. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were conducted to screen significant variables, and a predictive model nomogram was developed using the R programming language. The discriminative ability, calibration, and clinical utility of the predictive model were assessed using the receiver operating characteristic curve, net reclassification improvement index, calibration curve, and decision curve analysis. K-fold cross-validation was employed to evaluate the model's performance. The model was compared with the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation Ⅱ (APACHE Ⅱ) score and the Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score.Results:A total of 116 cases were enrolled in the study, comprising 36 cases in the mortality group and 80 cases in the survival group. Multivariate logistic analysis identified age, platelet count, prothrombin time, total bilirubin, altered mental status, and cardiac involvement as factors significantly associated with clinical outcomes. Based on these factors, an early warning model for adverse clinical prognosis was established, and a corresponding nomogram was developed. The model demonstrated excellent discriminative ability, calibration, and clinical utility (AUC=0.950; Hosmer-Lemeshow test: χ2=2.5476, P=0.980; calibration curve: R 2=0.649, P=0.906), outperforming both the APACHE Ⅱ and SOFA scores in predicting adverse outcomes (both P<0.01). Conclusions:This study established an early warning model for adverse clinical prognosis in sHLH based on objective clinical data. The model aids in the clinical assessment of sHLH patients, facilitates early warning, and supports clinical decision-making for treatment.

Cerebral infarction, with high incidence, high mortality, high disability and high recurrence rates, can impose a serious burden on families and society. After cerebral infarction occurrence, neurons, as the fundamental structures of the central nervous system, are unable to renew or multiply after death; hence, full recovery from neurological impairments following cerebral infarction is challenging. With stem cell and genetic recombination advancements, cellular replacement therapy after cerebral infarction progresses, which helps clinical transformation and application. In this paper, the basic researches of cellular replacement therapy after cerebral infarction are reviewed from 3 aspects: endogenous nerve regeneration, exogenous stem cell transplantation, and in situ somatic cell trans-differentiation into neurons, in order to provide references for cerebral infarction treatment

OBJECTIVE To excavate and evaluate β-blockers associated with acute renal failure(ARF)signal. METHODS Using the report odds ratio (ROR)method and Bayesian confidence interval progressive neural network (BCPNN)method,signal detection and analysis were performed for 4 kinds of β-blockers(metoprolol,bisoprolol,atenolol,nebivolol)associated with ARF Δ 基金项目:重庆市临床药学重点专科建设项目 (No.渝卫办发 in FDA adverse event reporting system (FAERS)from the two 〔2020〕68号);重庆医科大学未来医学青年创新团队发展支持计划项 dimensions of Standard International Dictionary of Medical 目(No.W0081) Terms (MedDRA) analysis query (SMQ) term set and *药师,硕士研究生。研究方向:药物警戒。电话:023-68485161。 preferred term (PT) level terms. When the two methods E-mail:2020121624@stu.cqmu.edu.cn detected positive signals at the same time ,it indicated that # 通信作者:主任药师,硕士生导师。研究方向:临床药学、药物警 suspicious signals were detected. RESULTS Totally 14 328 戒。电话:023-63625666。E-mail:jiayuntaomail@hospital.cqmu.edu.cn ARF reports of 4 kinds of β-blockers were retrieved within the ·1380· China Pharmacy 2022Vol. 33 No. 11 中国药房 2022年第33卷第11期 narrow sense of “acute renal failure ”in SMQ term set ,of which men (6 964)were more than women (6 206). The age of patients was mainly concentrated in the middle-aged and elderly (≥45 years old ),and serious adverse events accounted for 77.23%. The results of signal retrieval based on SMQ term set showed that ROR values and 95% confidence intervals of metoprolol ,bisoprolol, atenolol and nebivolol detected by ROR method were 2.58(2.51,2.65),5.30(5.14,5.47),2.80(2.69,2.91)and 3.28(3.04, 3.53)respectively. The signal components (IC)detected by BCPNN method and the lower limit of IC were 1.29(1.25),2.26 (2.22),1.42(1.36)and 1.64(1.53)respectively,suggesting suspicious signals were detected in these four kinds of β-blockers associated ARF. The results of signal detection based on PT level terms showed that 37 positive signals were detected by ROR method,38 positive signals were detected by BCPNN method ,and 36 suspicious signals were detected by the two methods at the same time. For each drug ,12 suspicious signals of metoprolol were detected at the same time ,9 suspicious signals of bisoprolol and atenolol were detected at the same time ,and 6 suspicious signals of nebivolol were detected at the same time ;the number and type of signals were different among the 4 kinds of drug. CONCLUSIONS Four kinds of β-blockers may cause ARF. Compared with metoprolol and atenolol ,bisoprolol and nebivolol have strong statistical correlation with ARF ,suggesting that medical personnel should pay attention to the possible renal related adverse reactions of these drugs in the process of clinical use.

OBJECTIVE To detect and evaluate the signals of amlodipine and lercanidipine -induced adverse drug events (ADE). METHODS All ADE reports about “amlodipine”and“lercanidipine”were searched from FAERS database during Jan . 1st,2004 to Sept . 30th,2021. Reported odds ratio and Bayesian confidence propagation neural network were used to detect ADE signals. The moderately strong signals and strong signals in key systems were selected for analysis . RESULTS From FAERS database,249 657 and 10 558 reports were extracted with amlodipine and lercanidipine as suspect drugs ,respectively. In this study,62 and 58 signals related to amlodipine and lercanidipine were detected respectively . At the same time ,moderately strong signals of peripheral edema , hypotension, orthostatic hypotension and hypovolemic shock were detected in the twodrugs,all of which were common adverse reactions of the two drugs. The special ADEs detected in this study were as follows: in the respiratory system , chest and mediastinaldisease system ,strong signals of non -cardiogenic pulmonary edema were detected for amlodipine ,and strong signals of dyspnea at rest for lercanidipine ;in gastrointestinal diseases ,strong signals of gingival hypertrophy were detected only for amlodipine;in skin and subcutaneous tissue disease system ,moderately strong signals related to “vasculitis”were detected for both drugs,moderately strong signals related to linear IgA disease were detected for amlodipine ,and moderately strong signals related to bullous dermatitis were detected for lercanidipine ;in the renal and urinary system disease system ,the signals of acute renal injury were detected for both drugs (amlodipine was detected as a moderately strong signal ,and lecardipine was detected as a strong signal ); in the mental system ,moderately strong signals related to suicide were detected for amlodipine . Both hypotension and acute renal injury ranked in the top two in the number of reports of the two drugs . The time scan results of the information component (IC)of this study showed that the IC values of non -cardiogenic pulmonary edema and suicide completion signals of amlodipine increased from 0.76,-0.49 to 4.48 and 1.95 respectively,and the confidence intervals narrowed from (-0.44,1.97),(-1.01,0.03)to (4.24,4.72)and(1.90,2.01)respectively during 2004 to 2021,suggesting that the signals kept stable . CONCLUSIONS The risks of peripheral edema ,hypotension,arrhythmia,pulmonary edema ,gingival hyperplasia ,skin related ADE ,acute renal injury , depression and suicide should be alert when using amlodipine and lercanidipine in clinic .

Objective:Summarizing the clinical characteristics of extraneural metastasis in childhood medulloblastoma.Methods:A total of 616 cases with medulloblastoma treated in Beijing Shijitan Hospital from April 2010 to April 2019 were analyzed retrospectively, among which 11 cases developed extraneural metastasis.The age of onset, location and time of extraneural metastasis, pathological and molecular typing, treatment and prognosis were descriptively analyzed.The differences of blood biochemical indexes between medulloblastoma cases with and without extraneural metastasis were statistically analyzed by t test. Results:As of February 2020, the median follow-up period was 16 months (ranging from 3 to 69 months). Eleven cases, including 8 males and 3 females, were diagnosed with extraneural metastasis, with the incidence being about 1.8%.The median age of medulloblastoma was 6 years (2-10 years), and the median age at presentation of extraneural metastasis was 7 years (2-12 years). Extraneural metastasis occurred from 0.5 months to 38.0 months after the operation, and the affected location includes bone (6 cases), bone marrow (3 cases), lung (3 cases), pelvis (2 cases) and abdominal cavity (1 case). In these patients, the range of lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) was (2 298.00±1 570.70) U/L and neuron-specific enolase (NSE) was (201.00±68.34) μg/L, which were significantly higher than those in patients without extraneural metastasis [(249.50±46.28) U/L and (22.80±7.12) μg/L, all P<0.05]. Partial patients were treated with chemotherapy, while the majority of them were treated with palliative treatment in the terminal stage, with the survival period mostly less than 10 months. Conclusions:Although there is a low incidence of extraneural metastasis in medulloblastoma pediatric patients, the prognosis of these patients with extraneural metastasis is poor and most of them would die within one year.The most common sites include bone, followed by bone marrow and lungs, which may be related to the spread of cerebrospinal fluid and the increased levels of LDH and NSE.

Objective:To explore the effect of neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) at the initial visit on the survival of children with newly diagnosed medulloblastoma (MB).Methods:This was a case-control study involving 61 children with newly diagnosed MB at the Department of Pediatrics, Beijing Shijitan Hospital, Capital Medical University from August 2018 to January 2020 .The blood cell counts, lymphocyte subsets and immunoglobulin in the periphe-ral blood were measured to calculate NLR at the initial visit.Based on the cut-off value determined by receiver opera-ting characteristic (ROC) curve, patients were divided into high NLR group (≥ 2.07, n=21) and low NLR group (<2.07, n=40). The progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) between 2 groups were analyzed by the Kaplan-Meier method, followed by Log- rank test.The correlation between NLR at the initial visit with clinical characteristics, lymphocyte subsets and immunoglobulin of children with newly diagnosed MB was analyzed.Differences between groups were compared by the Chi- square test, Mann- Whitney U test and independent sample t test. Results:The survival analysis showed that the relapse rate (38.1% vs.10.0%, χ2=6.879, P=0.016) and mortality rate (19.0% vs.0, χ2=8.154, P=0.011) were significantly higher in high NLR group than those of low NLR group.PFS (12 months vs.19 months, χ2=9.775, P=0.002) and OS (19 months vs.20 months, χ2=8.432, P=0.004) were significantly shorter in high NLR group than those of low NLR group.No significant differences in clinical characteristics were detected between groups (all P>0.05). Compared with low NLR group, the percentage of T lymphocyte[(67.93±6.37)% vs.(73.38±8.08)%, t=2.886, df=48.865, P=0.006], T helper cells (Th)[(30.86±5.53)% vs.(34.29±7.44)%, t=2.037, df=51.981, P=0.047], and T suppressor cells (Ts)[(27.39±5.50)% vs.(30.84±6.58)%, t=2.164, df=47.581, P=0.035] were significantly lower in high NLR group.Spearman correlation analysis showed a negative correlation between NLR and T lymphocyte count ( r=-0.303, P=0.018), and Ts lymphocyte count ( r=-0.260, P=0.043). Conclusions:Children with newly diagnosed MB expressing a high level of NLR had a poor prognosis, which may be associated with T lymphocyte and Ts lymphocyte.

Objective:To analyze the clinical characteristics of children with medulloblastoma (MB) complicated with incomplete intestinal obstruction, and to explore the possible pathogenesis of intestinal obstruction in children with MB.Methods:A total of 409 children with MB admitted to the Department of Pediatrics of Beijing Shijitan Hospital, Capital Medical University from October 2014 to January 2019 were recruited into this study, and the clinical data of children with incomplete intestinal obstruction were collected and analyzed retrospectively.A comparison was performed between these children and those without intestinal obstruction who were treated at the same time.The chi- squared test and Logistic regression analysis were adopted to explore the pathogenesis of intestinal obstruction.The overall survival (OS) rate was calculated with the Kaplan-Meier method. Results:There were 11 cases of 409 children with MB complicated with incomplete intestinal obstruction in total, with the morbidity of 2.7%, they were all over 3 years old, with the median age of 8.7 years, and a male-to-female ratio of 4.5∶1.The incomplete intestinal obstruction in all cases occurred during the first cycle of maintenance chemotherapy after radiotherapy.All these patients could be reco-vered after conservative treatment, and no incomplete intestinal obstruction occurred in the subsequent chemotherapy.The results of Logistic regression analysis showed that there was a correlation between age and the development of incomplete intestinal obstruction ( P<0.05). The 2-year OS rate of MB patients complicated with incomplete intestinal obstruction was (87.5±11.7)%, and that of patients without incomplete intestinal obstruction during the same period was (92.8±1.6)%, which showed that the difference between the two group was not statistically significant ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Incomplete intestinal obstruction would occur in all MB patients within 2 months after radiotherapy, and children more than 3 years old are more prone to suffer from this disease.Therefore, it can be supposed that gastrointestinal mucosa was damaged under the double attack of radiotherapy and Vincristine, which slowed down the intestinal peristalsis, thus inducing intestinal obstruction.
