Objective:To systematically analyze the incidence and influencing factors of frailty in elderly patients with hematologic malignancies.Methods:Research on frailty in elderly patients with hematologic malignancies was retrieved from Chinese and English databases such as China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Data, PubMed, and Web of Science. The search period was from database establishment to August 23, 2024. Two researchers screened the included studies, conducted quality assessment, and extracted data. Meta-analysis was conducted using Stata 18 and RevMan 5.4.Results:A total of seven studies were included, encompassing 19 076 elderly hematologic malignancy patients, with a frailty incidence of 59% [95% CI (0.48, 0.69) ]. Meta-analysis revealed that age [ MD=4.31, 95% CI (3.67, 4.96) ], gender [ OR=0.88, 95% CI (0.83, 0.93) ], alcohol consumption [ OR=1.67, 95% CI (1.15, 2.44) ], self-care ability [ MD=-1.79, 95% CI (-3.17, -0.41) ], anemia [ OR=6.67, 95% CI (2.94, 15.14) ], infection [ OR=1.81, 95% CI (1.16, 2.84) ], and neuropathy [ OR=2.52, 95% CI (1.38, 4.61) ] were the influencing factors of frailty in elderly patients with hematologic malignancies. Conclusions:The incidence of frailty is high in elderly patients with hematologic malignancies. Elderly patients with hematologic malignancies who are older, female, consume alcohol, have low self-care ability, anemia, infections, and neuropathy are prone to frailty. Healthcare providers can conduct early screening and intervention for high-risk populations of frailty based on risk factors to improve the quality of life for elderly hematologic malignancy patients.

Objective:To compare the effects of intraoperative administration or non-administration of tranexamic acid (TXA) on early postoperative inflammatory response and clinical outcomes in elderly male patients with intertrochanteric femur fractures.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 92 elderly male patients with intertrochanteric femur fractures admitted to Zhongda Hospital Affiliated to Southeast University from January 2020 to December 2022, aged 62-96 years [(79.9±8.4)years]. According to the modified Evans classification, the fractures were classified as types I-III in 33 patients and types IV-V in 59. All the patients were treated with proximal femoral intramedullary nail fixation. Among them, 46 patients received intraoperative TXA (TXA group), while 46 patients did not (non-TXA group). The operative duration, intraoperative blood loss, length of postoperative hospital stay were compared between the two groups. The serum interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels and visual analogue scale (VAS) scores at 1, 3, 5, and 7 days postoperatively were detected. The complication rate and mortality within 1 year postoperatively were also compared between the two groups.Results:All the patients were followed up for 1-12 months [(10.9±2.8)months]. No significant difference was found in the operative duration between the groups ( P>0.05). The intraoperative blood loss and length of postoperative hospital stay were 150.0(100.0, 200.0)ml and (6.8±1.9)days in the TXA group, less or shorter than those in the non-TXA group [200.0(150.0, 262.5)ml and (7.7±2.0)days] ( P<0.05). At 1, 3, and 5 days postoperatively, the IL-6 levels in the TXA group were 84.5(66.3, 100.1)pg/ml, 48.9(36.8, 61.2)pg/ml, and 27.9(19.4, 37.5)pg/ml, which were all lower than those in the non-TXA group [110.3(83.1, 162.9)pg/ml, 63.7(44.2, 84.2)pg/ml, and 32.7(22.4, 42.9)pg/ml] ( P<0.05). No statistically significant difference in the IL-6 level was observed between the two groups at 7 days postoperatively ( P>0.05). At 1 and 3 days after operation, the VAS scores in the TXA group were (4.3±0.9)points and (2.5±0.9)points, lower than those in the non-TXA group [(6.8±1.2)points and (3.0±1.2)points] ( P<0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in VAS scores between the two groups at 5 and 7 days postoperatively ( P>0.05). The complication rate within one year after operation was 28% (13/46) in the TXA group, significantly lower than 50% (23/46) in the non-TXA group ( P<0.05). No significant difference was observed in the mortality within 1 year postoperatively between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Compared with non-administration of TXA, intraoperative administration of TXA can effectively reduce the intraoperative blood loss, shorten the length of postoperative hospital stay, significantly lower early postoperative inflammation levels, reduce early postoperative pain intensity, and decrease the incidence of complications in elderly male patients with intertrochanteric femur fractures, with no significant difference in mortality within 1 year after operation between the two groups.

Objectives:To investigate the physical growth status of pediatric patients with transfusion-dependent thalassemia (TDT) and analyze the effects of treatment-related and socioeconomic factors on physical growth.Methods:Based on the specialized thalassemia database from gene therapy clinical research at the Institute of Hematology & Hospital of Blood Diseases, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences & Peking Union Medical College, we collected data on height and weight development, family economic status, and medical records of 338 pediatric patients with TDT from October 2023 to May 2024. The length/height-for-age and body mass index (BMI) -for-age were classified based on the Growth Standard for Children under 7 Years of Age, Standard for Height Level Classification among Children and Adolescents Aged 7-18 Years, and Dietary Guidelines for Chinese Residents. Logistic regression analysis was conducted to assess the effects of family economic status and disease-related treatment on length/height-for-age and BMI-for-age.Results:Among the 338 patients, 118 were children and 220 were adolescents (192 males and 146 females), with a median age of 12 years (range: 0.8-18) and a median diagnosis duration of 10.3 years (range: 0.5-17.9). Subtypes included α-thalassemia [21 cases (6.2%) ], β-thalassemia [288 cases (85.2%) ], and combined αβ-thalassemia[29 cases (8.6%) ]. The monthly household income of patients was concentrated in 3 000-5 000 yuan (39.9%) and 5 001-10 000 yuan (34.9%), whereas 67.2% of the families had monthly medical expenses of <3 000 yuan. Of the patients, 75.5% received their first transfusion before 1 year of age. The proportions of children and adolescents with pretransfusion hemoglobin (HGB) of ≤70 g/L were 4.2% and 6.4%, respectively. Adolescents demonstrated significantly higher rates of transfusion frequency of <4 weeks/session, monthly red blood cell infusion of >2 U, serum ferritin (SF) of ≥5 000 μg/L, iron chelation therapy, and splenectomy compared with children (all P<0.05). Of the 338 patients, 26.0%, 22.8%, and 8.9% demonstrated stunted growth, underweight, and concurrent stunted growth with underweight, respectively. No significant difference was observed in the stunted growth rates between children (22.9%) and adolescents (27.7%) ( P=0.402). However, the underweight rate in adolescents (26.8%) was significantly higher than that in children (15.3%) ( P=0.023). The multivariate analysis determined the following risk factors for stunted growth: monthly household income of <10 000 yuan (5 001-10 000 yuan: OR=5.49, 95% CI: 1.48-35.76; 3 000-5 000 yuan: OR=6.87, 95% CI: 1.88-44.60; <3 000 yuan: OR=9.29, 95% CI: 2.20-64.77), pretransfusion HGB of ≤70 g/L ( OR=3.25, 95% CI: 1.07-10.18), and SF of ≥5 000 μg/L ( OR = 3.04, 95% CI: 1.20-7.70). Longer diagnostic duration was associated with underweight ( OR=1.10, 95% CI: 1.01-1.20) . Conclusions:Children and adolescents with TDT with pretransfusion SF of ≥5 000 μg/L, HGB of ≤70 g/L, low monthly household income, or longer diagnosis duration were significantly more likely to experience delayed physical growth.

Objective:To identify the prognostic value of the Revised 15-item Myelodysplastic Syndrome-specific frailty scale (FS-15) in Chinese patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) .Methods:This retrospective study analyzed 812 patients with newly diagnosed MDS admitted to the Institute of Hematology and Blood Diseases Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, and Peking Union Medical College from August 2016 to June 2023. Patients were assessed using the FS-15 and subsequently categorized into frail and non-frail groups. Clinical and laboratory characteristics, as well as overall survival (OS), were compared between these groups.Results:① The median patient age was 55 years ( IQR 45–64), with a median follow-up of 22.5 months (95% CI: 20.2–24.9) and a median OS of 43.3 months (95% CI: 36.8–49.8). The median FS-15 score was 0.42, with a cutoff value of 0.44. Male patients demonstrated higher median FS-15 scores than female patients (0.42 vs 0.38, P=0.006). In both the Revised International Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS-R; P=0.001) and Molecular International Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS-M; P=0.014) stratifications, FS-15 scores were significantly higher in the very high-risk group compared with the very low-risk group. ② The median OS was 54.7 months (95% CI: 47.5–NA) and 31.5 months (95% CI: 22.9–41.0) in the nonfrail ( n=452) and frail groups ( n=360), respectively ( P<0.001). The 3-year OS rates were (63.2 ± 3.2) % and (46.4 ± 3.6) % for the non-frail and frail groups, with 5-year OS rates of (49.9 ± 4.7) % and (32.0 ± 4.3) %, respectively ( P<0.001). ③Subgroup analysis revealed that nonfrail patients demonstrated significantly higher 3-year OS rates than frail patients in both the IPSS-M low-risk and very high-risk groups (all P<0.05). Similarly, nonfrail patients demonstrated superior 3-year OS rates compared with frail patients in the IPSS-R very low-risk, low-risk, and high-risk groups (all P<0.05). ④Among patients receiving hypomethylating agent therapy, the overall response rate was significantly higher in the non-frail group than in the frail group (86.7% vs 64.6%, P=0.007). Moreover, the frail group experienced higher rates of treatment-related adverse events, including febrile neutropenia (67.1% vs 47.4%, P=0.016) and liver function abnormalities (30.0% vs 14.5%, P=0.023), compared with the non-frail group. Conclusion:The FS-15 frailty score is a feasible and effective tool for assessing frailty in patients newly diagnosed with MDS in China and serves as a valuable prognostic indicator.

Objective To explore the mechanism of Angong Niuhuang pill on the neurological function of rats with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage based on the tumor necrosis factor-α/nuclear factor-κB(TNF-α/NF-κB)signaling pathway combined with network pharmacology.Methods The targets for treatment of intracerebral hemorrhage with Angong Niuhuang pill were obtained using the Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database and Analysis Platform(TCMSP),High-Throughput Experiment and Refeence-guided Database of Traditional Chinese Medicine(HERB).Key targets were screened for Gene Ontology(GO)and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG)enrichment analysis and molecular docking.Then,rats were randomly divided into normal control group,model group,Angong Niuhuang pill group(administered by gavage at 270 mg·kg-1·d-1),and the Western medicine group(intraperitoneal injection of 4 500 mg·kg-1·d-1+furosemide 1.8 mg·kg-1·d-1),the dosage administered was the equivalent dose ratio calculated based on the body surface area for humans and animals.The intracerebral hemorrhage model was replicated by the autologous heart blood caudate nucleus injection method.After modeling,the neurological function behavior scores,brain tissue water content,pathological changes of brain tissue,blood-brain barrier permeability,and protein expression levels of NF-κB p65,tumor necrosis factor receptor 1(TNFR1),inhibitor NF-κBα(IκBα)and TNF-α in brain tissue of each group were observed.Results A total of 216 intersection genes were selected.The results of GO enrichment analysis and KEGG pathway annotation analysis predicted that the TNF-α/NF-κB inflammatory signaling pathway was one of the main regulatory pathways.The animal experiment results showed that at 72 hours after modeling,compared with the model group,the neurological function score,brain tissue water content,and blood-brain barrier permeability index evans blue(EB)content of the Angong Niuhuang pill group were significantly decreased[neurological function score:1.62±0.62 vs.2.23±0.58,brain water content:(77.7±0.49)%vs.(79.9±0.04)%,EB content(μg/L):490.50±100.79 vs.1 966.20±94.81,all P<0.05];the pathological observation of brain tissue showed that Angong Niuhuang pill could reduce the pathological damage of brain tissue around the hematoma,repair the blood-brain barrier,and alleviate brain edema;the Western blotting results showed that Angong Niuhuang pill could inhibit the protein expression of TNF-α,TNFR1,and NF-κB p65 in brain tissue[NF-κB p65 protein expresion(NF-κB p65/β-actin):2.27±0.52 vs.5.40±0.26;TNFR1 protein expression(TNFR1/β-actin):1.49±0.33 vs.2.52±0.04,TNF-α protein expression(TNF-α/β-actin):1.40±0.13 vs.2.29±0.18,all P<0.05],promote the protein expression of IκB-α(IκB-α/β-actin):0.78±0.02 vs.0.32±0.00,P<0.05).Conclusion Angong Niuhuang pill may regulate the TNF-α/NF-κB signaling pathway by inhibiting the expression of TNFR1 and promoting the expression of IκB-α,exerting neuroprotective effects.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the drug resistance genes,virulence genes and capsule serotypes of hyper-mucoviscous Klebsiella pneumoniae(HMKP)from a hospital,providing a reference for clinical anti-infective treatment.METHODS A total of 46 non-repetitive HMKP strains,isolated and identified from clinical samples in the First People's Hospital of Chuzhou from Jul.to Dec.2023,were collected.Drug susceptibility testing was per-formed,and drug resistance genes,virulence genes and capsule serotypes were amplified by polymerase chain re-action(PCR).The PCR products were determined by genetic sequencing and comparison.Multilocus sequence typing(MLST)was used for molecular epidemiological typing,and eBURST was used to analyze strain homology.RESULTS The 46 HMKP strains were mainly isolated from ICU(28.26％,13 strains)and respiratory departments(23.91％,11 strains).The primary specimen type was respiratory specimens(91.30％,42 strains).The drug re-sistance rates of HMKP to the monitored antibacterial drugs were all＜10％.PCR results showed that only 1 strain carried the CTX-M1 drug resistance gene.The predominant capsule serotypes were K2(16 strains,34.78％),K1(7 strains,15.22％)and K57(7 strains,15.22％).The detection rates of the five virulence genes were as follows:ae robactin(46 strains,100.00％),kfu(46 strains,100.00％),rmp A(43 strains,93.48％),iroNB(42 strains,91.30％),rmpA2(37 strains,80.43％)and magA(31 strains,67.39％).Among the 46 HMKP strains,22 sequence types(STs)were identified,with ST86(9 strains,19.56％),ST25(8 strains,17.39％),ST23(5 strains,10.87％),ST412(5 strains,10.87％)and ST65(2 strains,4.35％)being the most prevalent.Homology analysis conducted by eBURST software revealed that 18 STs had relatively close genetic relationships.CONCLUSIONS Only 1 strain of clinically isolated HMKP carries the CTX-M1 gene,with the predominant capsule serotypes being K2,K1 and K57.The detection rates of virulence genes aerobactin and kfu are 100.00％.The K2 serotype carries multiple virulence gene patterns,and the STs are mainly ST86,ST25,ST23 and ST412.There is a clear evolutionary relationship among HMKP strains.

Objective:To investigate the targets and mechanisms of cycloastragenol in ameliorating azithromycin-induced drug-induced liver injury(DILI)based on network pharmacology and in vitro experiment validation.Methods:Potential targets of cycloastragenol and DILI were predicted using databases.The common and key targets were screened and subjected to GO and KEGG enrichment analyses,as well as molecular docking validation.Primary hepatocytes from C57BL/6 mice were isolated.The optimal concentration and time for azithromycin-induced DILI in mouse primary hepatocytes were determined using CCK8 and ROS assays.The expression of genes and proteins such as NF-κB p65,p-NF-κB p65,AMPKα,and p-AMPKα was assessed using RT-qPCR and Western blot to evaluate the intervention effect of cycloastragenol(10-50 μmol/L).Results:Network pharmacology analysis identified 10 key genes related to cycloastragenol's improvement of DILI,including heat shock protein 90AA1(HSP90AA1),matrix metalloproteinase 2(MMP2),etc.GO enrichment analysis suggested that cycloastragenol primarily regulates biological processes such as membrane potential and chemical synaptic transmission,and affects cellular components such as neuronal cell bodies and distal axons,and related kinase activities.KEGG enrichment analysis showed that it mainly exerts intervention effects through neuro-signaling pathways and IL-17 signaling pathways.Molecular docking demonstrated strong binding of cycloastragenol to HSP90AA1,MMP2,NF-κB p65,AMPKα,nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2(Nrf2),heme oxygenase 1(HO-1),and NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase 1(NQO1),with a binding energy≤-5.0 kcal/mol for Nrf2.In vitro experiments showed that azithromycin(50 μmol/L,12 h)significantly reduced hepatocyte viability and increased ROS levels(P＜0.01).Different concentrations of cycloastragenol significantly improved the activity of mouse primary hepatocytes,reduced the generation of intracellular ROS,downregulated the phosphorylation level of NF-κB p65,and upregulated the mRNA and protein levels of AMPKα,Nrf2,HO-1,NQO1(P＜0.05).Conclusions:Cycloastragenol may alleviate azithromycin-induced hepatocyte oxidative stress and inflammation by inhibiting NF-κB phosphorylation and activating the AMPK/Nrf2/HO-1/NQO1 pathway,with its mechanism likely closely linked to targeting Nrf2.However,the complex mechanisms of DILI may involve additional unverified pathways.Therefore,further studies are necessary to validate the efficacy and safety of cycloastragenol in animal models.
