The International System for Human Cytogenomic Nomenclature (ISCN) is a standardized international nomenclature system established by the International Standing Committee on Human Cytogenomic Nomenclature (ISCN SC). It is designed for describing chromosomal or genomic abnormalities detected by commonly used genetic and genomic techniques including but not limited to karyotyping, fluorescence in situ hybridization, microarray, genome mapping, various region-specific assays, and high-throughput sequencing. With a history spanning over six decades, the ISCN was revised by the ISCN SC in 2024 and officially published in September 2024. This article provides a summary for the updates introduced in the 2024 edition of the International System for Human Cytogenomic Nomenclature.

Objective:To investigate the effect and mechanism of ginkgo acid(GA)on hepatic fibrosis in rats.Methods:CCl4 and TAA were used to construct rat liver fibrosis model,and GA or combined ferroptosis inhibitor(Fer-1)was given to intervene.The liver tissue and serum of rats were obtained and histopathologically evaluated by HE,Masson and Sirius red staining,respecively.The expression of HA,LN,Ⅳ-C and PC-Ⅲ in serum were detected by Elisa and the expression of GPX4 and FTH1 were detected by Western blot.Results:HE staining showed that,com-pared with TAA and CCl4 groups,the fibrosis level of GA group was significantly decreased.The results of Masoon and Sirius red staining showed that compared with TAA and CCl4 groups,the rate of collagen fibers in liver of GA group was significantly decreased(P<0.05).Elisa results showed that compared with TAA and CCl4 groups,the levels of HA,LN,Ⅳ-C and PC-Ⅲ in serum of rats in GA group were significantly decreased(P<0.05).After the intervention of GA com-bined with Fer-1,Western blot results showed that compared with TAA and CCl4 groups,the expression of GPX4 and FTH1 in liver of rats in GA group were significantly increased(P<0.05).Compared with GA group,GPX4 and FTH1 levels in Fer group were significantly decreased(P<0.05);The histopathological results showed that compared with GA group,the rate of liver collagen fibers in Fer group was significantly increased(P<0.05).Conclusion:GA has anti-hepatic fi-brosis effect,which is associated with inducing ferroptosis.

Aim To investigate the effect of tetrameth-ylpyrazine(TMP)on neuroinflammation after cerebral ischemia and hypoxia via mannose-binding lectin(MBL).Methods Patients diagnosed with ischaemic stroke at Shanxi Provincial People's Hospital were in-cluded in the study,and their clinicopathological data,as well as blood and urine samples,were collected with the consent of the patients and their families.Using these biological samples,differential proteins and tar-gets were identified by proteomic analysis and subse-quently verified with animal experiments.The mice were divided into the sham,dMCAO,and TMP(10,20,40 mg·kg-1)treatment groups.After seven days of drug administration,the modified neurological sever-ity score(mNSS)was used to assess the neurological function.TTC staining was used to detect the volume of cerebral infarction.Motor function was evaluated be-haviourally,and ELISA was used to detect MASP1,sC5b-9,TNF-α,IL-6,and IL-1β.Western blot was used to determine the expression of relevant proteins,such as MBL2,MASP2,and C3.Results Compared with the sham group,the dMCAO group exhibited in-creased neurological impairment,which was signifi-cantly ameliorated by TMP treatment.The expression levels of MBL2,C3 and MASP2 were elevated in the dMCAO group and were reduced following TMP treat-ment.Additionally,the dMCAO group showed elevat-ed expression of inflammatory factors IL-1 β,IL-6 and TNF-α,which were then suppressed by TMP treat-ment.Conclusion TMP inhibits the inflammatory re-sponse after ischemia and hypoxia by regulating MBL,thus attenuating brain injury.

Objective:To detect the pharmacokinetic(PK)parameters of coagulation factor Ⅷ(FⅧ)in adult patients with severe hemophilia A,identify the potential factors influencing FⅧ PK,and optimize the use of FⅧ in individual prophylaxis regimens.Methods:PK characteristics of FⅧ were studied in a total of 23 severe hemophilia A adults.The correlation of patients'characteristics including age,von Willebrand factor antigen(vWF:Ag),blood group,weight,body mass index(BMI)and FⅧ genotype,with FⅧ PK were evaluated.Individual prophylaxis regimens were given based on FⅧ PK parameters.Results:The mean terminal half-life(t1/2)of FⅧ was 20.6±9.3 h,ranged from 11.47 h to 30.12 h.The age(r=0.580)and vWF:Ag(r=0.814)were significantly positively correlated with t1/2 of FⅧ.The mean area under the plasma concentration curve(AUC)of FⅧ was 913±399(328-1 878)IU h/dl,and the AUC of FⅧ was positively correlated with age(r=0.557)and vWF:Ag(r=0.784).The mean residence time(MRT)of FⅧ was 24.7±12.4(13.2-62.2)h,and the MRT of FⅧ was positively correlated with age(r=0.664)and vWF:Ag(r=0.868).The mean in vivo recovery(IVR)of FⅧ was 2.59±0.888(1.5-4.29)IU/dl per IU/kg,the mean clearance(CL)of FⅧ was 3±1.58(0.97-7.18)ml/(kg·h),and there was no significant correlation of IVR and CL with age and vWF:Ag.According to the individual PK parameters,ultra low-dose,low-dose and moderate-dose FⅧ were applied to 15,6,2 adults patients with severe hemophilia A for prophylaxis,respectively.Conclusion:There are significant individual differences in the FⅧ half-life of adult patients with severe hemophilia A.The older the patient,the higher the vWF:Ag level,and the longer the FⅧ half-life.Individual administration is required based on the FⅧ PK parameters to optimize prophylaxis treatment.

The male patient,one day old,was admitted to the hospital due to hypoglycemia accompanied by apnea appearing six hours after birth.The patient had transient hypoglycemia early after birth,and acute heart failure suddenly occurred on the eighth day after birth.Laboratory tests showed significantly reduced levels of adrenocorticotropic hormone and cortisol,and pituitary magnetic resonance imaging was normal.Genetic testing results showed that the patient had probably pathogenic compound heterozygous mutations of the TBX19 gene(c.917-2A>G+c.608C>T),inherited respectively from the parents.The patient was conclusively diagnosed with congenital isolated adrenocorticotropic hormone deficiency caused by mutation of the TBX19 gene.Upon initiating hydrocortisone replacement therapy,cardiac function rapidly returned to normal.After being discharged,the patient continued with the hydrocortisone replacement therapy.By the 18-month follow-up,the patient was growing and developing well.In neonates,unexplained acute heart failure requires caution for possible endocrine hereditary metabolic diseases,and timely cortisol testing and genetic testing should be conducted.[Chinese Journal of Contemporary Pediatrics,2024,26(3):321-324,V]

The pathogenesis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD)involves oxidative stress,inflammatory response,apoptosis,autophagy and aging.Sirtuin 1(SIRT1)plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis and progression of COPD by influencing oxidative stress,apoptosis,inflammation and autophagy.This study aims to investigate the role and mechanism of SIRT1 in COPD progression as well as the potential for prevention and treatment using traditional Chinese medicine,thereby expanding the treatment options for COPD.
