Objective:To analyze the predictive role of WT1 expression levels pre-and early post-transplantation on relapse and overall survival(OS)in patients with acute myeloid leukemia(AML)undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation(allo-HSCT)during their first complete remission(CR1).Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 107 adult AML patients who underwent allo-HSCT during their CR1 at our center between May 2012 and December 2021.The predictive role of bone marrow WT1 expression levels before transplantation and at 3 and 6 months post-transplantation on relapse and OS was explored in combination with relevant clinical factors.Results:The median follow-up time for the 107 patients was 70(range:11-117)months.Among the patients,15 cases died.Kaplan-Meier survial analysis showed that the 3-year overall survival(OS)rate was 85.0％.20 patients experienced relapse,with a median time to relapse of 8(range:0.5-44)months and a l-year cumulative relapse rate of 13.1％.The overall median value of WT1 before transplantation,3 months after transplantation,and 6 months after transplantation was 0.26％(range:0％-23.64％),with an upper quartile value of 0.74％.No statistically significant differences in WT1 expression levels were observed among the pre-transplantation,3-month post-transplantation,and 6-month post-transplantation time points(P=0.227).Univariate analysis showed that patients with WT1 levels＞0.74％at 3 months post-transplantation had a higher 1-year relapse rate(P=0.029)and lower 3-year OS rate(P＜0.001)compared to patients with WT1 levels ≤0.74％.Other significant factors affecting 1-year relapse included stem cell source(P=0.041)and chronic graft-versus-host disease(cGVHD)(P=0.013).For 3-year OS,additional influencing factors were genetic high risk(P=0.048)and stem cell source(P=0.016).Multivariate analysis revealed that WT1 level＞0.74％at 3 months post-transplantation had a trend to affect 1-year relapse rate(HR=3.309,95％CI:0.958-11.431,P=0.058),while the absence of cGVHD was an independent risk factor for 1-year relapse(HR=3.473,95％CI:0.749-16.100,P=0.037).Only WT1 level＞0.74％at 3 months post-transplantation was an independent risk factor for 3-year OS(HR=6.886,95％CI:2.402-19.738,P＜0.001).Conclusion:High WT1 expression level at 3 months post-transplantation in AML patients undergoing allo-HSCT during CR1 affects the 1-year relapse rate and 3-year OS,and is an independent risk factor affecting 3-year OS.These findings suggest that dynamic monitoring of WT1 expression levels has certain value in prognostic assessment of AML patients who received allo-HSCT during CR1.

Aim To explore the mechanism of Gano-derma lucidum polysaccharides(GLPS)promoting my-elin repair and regeneration in mice with chronic demy-elination induced by cuprizone(CPZ).Methods A total of 40 C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into four groups:Normal+NS,Normal+GLPS,CPZ+NS and CPZ+GLPS.A chronic demyelination model was established using 0.2％CPZ.Open field and elevated plus maze tests were performed to observe the behavior-al changes in the mice.Immunofluorescence staining and Western blot were used to detect changes in myelin basic protein expression in the corpus callosum.ELISA was performed to measure the levels of TNF-α,IL-6,IL-1β and IL-10 in brain homogenates.Immunofluo-rescence staining was also used to observe the expres-sion of ionized calcium binding adapter molecule 1(Iba1)and neural-glial antigen 2(NG2).RT-qPCR and Western blot were conducted to assess the mRNA and protein expression levels of MBP,iNOS,COX-2,JAK2 and STAT3.Results Mice in the CPZ+NS group showed a significant decrease in body weight,cognitive behavior abnormalities,and impaired myelin regeneration.The expression of pro-inflammatory fac-tors increased,while anti-inflammatory factors de-creased.Additionally,Iba1 and NG2 expression in-creased,and the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway was activated.After GLPS intervention,the mouse body weight increased,myelin regeneration occurred,cogni-tive behavior was improved,the expression of inflamma-tory factors decreased,anti-inflammatory factors in-creased,NG2 expression was further elevated,and the proliferation of microglia as well as the activation of the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway was inhibited.Conclu-sions GLPS can improve cognitive behavior abnormali-ties and inflammatory responses in chronic demyelinated mice by inhibiting the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway,thereby promoting myelin repair and regeneration.

Objective To investigate the risk factors of hemodynamic instability after carotid artery stenting by meta-analysis.Methods Ten databases were searched:PubMed,ProQuest,ScienceDirect,Embase,Cochrane Library,Web of Science,China Knowledge Network,Wanfang Data,VIP Information Database,and China Biomedical Database.The search date was from inception until 2 February 2024,and meta-analysis was performed using Stata 16.0 statistical software.Results A total of 27 studies with 4199 subjects and 22 influencing factors were included.The studies showed a 37.4％(95％CI 30.3％-44.8％)incidence of haemodynamic instability after carotid stenting,Meta-analysis determined that age＞60 years(P＜0.001),hypertension(P＜0.001),calcified plaque(P＜0.001),stenosis＞70％(P=0.008),eccentric plaque(P=0.002),distance from the largest stenosis to the carotid bifurcation≤ 10 mm(P＜0.001),stenosis involvement of the balloon or bifurcation(P＜0.001),balloon post-dilation(P=0.003),open-loop stenting(P＜0.001),dilated balloon diameter≥5 mm(P=0.002),repeat balloon dilation(P=0.011)and balloon dilation pressure≥8 atm(P＜0.001)are risk factors for intraoperative and postoperative haemodynamic instability in patients undergoing carotid artery stenting surgery.Statin use was a protective factor(P＜0.001).Conclusions Medical staff working in the clinic should assess the patient's condition preoperatively,identify risk factors that may lead to haemodynamic instability,and avoid unnecessary intraoperative stimulation of patients who are already in a high-risk state.Reduce postoperative clinical complications in patients with carotid artery stenosis and improve patient recovery.

Objective To investigate the correlation between serum uric acid(SUA)levels and incident chronic kidney disease(CKD)in middle-aged and elderly Chinese population and gender differences.Methods Based on the longitudinal survey data of China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study from 2011 to 2015,the CKD-Epidemiology Collaboration cystatin C formula was used to estimate the glomerular filtration rate(eGFR),and 4 119 participants with normal renal function(eGFR≥60 mL·min-1·1.72 m-2)at baseline were included.Incident CKD was defined as eGFR<60 mL·min-1·1.72 m-2 at the follow-up in 2015.Logistic regression analysis was used to analysis the association of SUA levels at baseline and incident CKD among different genders.Restricted cubic spline analysis was used to analyze the dose-response relationship.Results After 4-year follow-up,127 participants developed incident CKD,including 57 males and 70 females.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that elevated SUA levels were independently associated with the risk of incident CKD(OR=1.532,P<0.001).For each 1 mg/dL increase in SUA,the risk of incident CKD increased by 33.6%in males(OR=1.336,P=0.012)and 77.5%in females(OR=1.755,P<0.001).Restricted cubic spline analysis showed a linear positive correlation between SUA levels and incident CKD in both males and females.Participants were divided into four groups according to SUA quartiles(Q1-Q4).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis indicated a significant increase in the risk of incident CKD in Q3 group(3.75 mg/dL4.43 mg/dL)compared with Q1 group in females(Q3 group:OR=2.571,P=0.045;Q4 group:OR=3.666,P=0.005).Conclusion SUA is an independent risk factor for incident CKD in the middle-aged and elderly population.In females,serum uric acid levels exceeding 3.75 mg/dL are associated with an increased risk of incident CKD.

Objective To compare the application effect of single perfusion technique and temperature gradient perfusion technique in balloon dilatation percutaneous kyphoplasty(PKP)in the treatment of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures.Methods A total of 116 patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture who underwent PKP in our hospital were selected and divided into the single perfusion group(n=57)and the temperature gradient perfusion group(n=59)according to different bone cement perfusion methods.The perioperative indicators,pain visual analogue scale(VAS)scores,Oswestry dysfunction index(ODI)scores,imaging indicators and incidence of bone cement leakage were compared between the two groups.Results The amount of bone cement injection of patients in the temperature gradient perfusion group was less than that in the single perfusion group(P<0.05).There was no significant difference in operation time,intraoperative blood loss or intraoperative fluoroscopy times of patients between the two groups(P>0.05).The VAS and ODI scores of patients in the temperature gradient perfusion group were lower than those in the single perfusion group 1 week after operation(P<0.05).At 1 week after operation and the last follow-up,the relative height of the anterior edge of the injured vertebrae in both groups were higher than those before operation(P<0.05),and the Cobb angle were smaller than those before operation(P<0.05).The incidence of bone cement leakage in the temperature gradient perfusion group was lower than that in the single perfusion group(P<0.05).Conclusion The application of temperature gradient perfusion technique in PKP for the treatment of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures can achieve the same surgical treatment effect as single perfusion technique,and temperature gradient perfusion technique can reduce the amount of bone cement injection,reduce the incidence of bone cement leakage,and alleviate postoperative pain.

This study aims to investigate whether resistance exercise can effectively alleviate disuse skel-etal muscle atrophy by activating the skeletal muscle Piezo1/AMPK/PGC-1α signaling pathway,impro-ving mitochondrial function and promoting myogenesis.8-week-old male C57BL/6J mice were used.Dis-use muscle atrophy was simulated by hind limb plaster fixation,and the mice were divided into the con-trol group,the disuse muscle atrophy group,the disuse muscle atrophy+resistance exercise group,and the disuse muscle atrophy+resistance exercise+Piezo1 inhibitor group.The resistance exercise group underwent an 8-week resistance training program.Methods such as Western Blotting,immunofluores-cence staining,and mitochondrial mass and function detection were employed to evaluate skeletal muscle mass,function,mitochondrial status,and myogenesis.Resistance exercise significantly increased the cross-sectional area of skeletal muscle in mice with disuse muscle atrophy by 23％(P＜0.01)and the relative mass of skeletal muscle by 11％(P＜0.01).Resistance exercise led to an average increase of 206 m in the longest running distance of mice(P＜0.01),an average increase of 36.7 g in the maxi-mum bearing capacity(P＜0.01),and an average reduction of 1.5 s in the balance beam crawling time(P＜0.01).Meanwhile,it upregulated the expression of the protein levels of Piezo1,AMPK,and PGC-1α(P＜0.01).In addition,resistance exercise increased the activity or protein expression levels of MMP,TFAM,COX Ⅰ,CS,ATPB,ATPase,ATP,p-mTOR/mTOR,p-P70S6K/P70S6K,Pax7,and MyoD in skeletal muscle(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).However,inhibiting Piezo1 decreased the expres-sion of the above enzyme activities and protein levels(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).Resistance exercise allevi-ates disuse skeletal muscle atrophy effectively by activating the Piezo1/AMPK/PGC-1α pathway,impro-ving skeletal muscle mitochondrial quality and function,and promoting protein synthesis and myogenesis.
