Objective To summarize and analyze the efficacy and influencing factors of second allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) for acute leukemia relapsing after the first allo-HSCT. Methods Clinical data of 17 patients with acute leukemia who underwent second allo-HSCT at Peking University First Hospital from January 2005 to December 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. Results Among the 17 patients, 7 achieved long-term disease-free survival after second transplantation. The median progression-free survival after successful second transplantation was 7 months (range 8 days to 69 months). The relapse fatality was 24%, and the transplant-related fatality was 35%. Conclusions Second transplantation is an effective treatment for relapsed and refractory acute leukemia, but the relapse fatality and transplant-related fatality remain high. Patient age, time of relapse after the first transplantation and disease status before second transplantation are all factors that affect the efficacy of second transplantation. Younger age, late relapse and complete remission of disease before second transplantation are all beneficial for long-term disease-free survival after second transplantation.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects and mechanisms of oliceridine fumarate （TRV130） in improving postoperative cognitive dysfunction （POCD） in elderly rats based on the Toll-like receptor 4 （TLR4）/nuclear factor-κB （NF-κB） pathway. METHODS Rats were randomly divided into the control group （normal saline）， the model group （normal saline）， the TRV130 group （2.8 mg/kg）， the TLR4/NF-κB pathway inhibitor （TAK-242） group （3 mg/kg）， the β -arrestin inhibitor （Barbadin） group （3 mg/kg）， and the traditional opioid drug （morphine） group （2.8 mg/kg）， with 15 rats in each group. Except for the control group， POCD models were established in all other groups. From the first day after surgery， drugs/normal saline were administered via caudal vein injection once daily for 3 consecutive days. After the last administration， the pathological damage of hippocampal tissue was observed； the cognitive function， serum inflammatory factor levels， hippocampal neurons apoptosis rate， and the expression of ionized calcium-binding adapter molecule 1 （Iba-1）， glial fibrillary acidic protein （GFAP）， and TLR4/NF-κB pathway-related mRNA and protein in hippocampal tissue were detected. RESULTS In the model group， the neurons in the CA1 region of the hippocampus were disordered and sparse， with decreased number， pyknotic and fragmented nuclei accompanied by inflammatory cell infiltration. Compared with the control group， the escape latency， serum levels of tumor necrosis factor α （TNF-α）， interleukin-6 （IL-6）， and IL-1β， hippocampal neurons apoptosis rate， average fluorescence intensities of Iba-1 and GFAP， mRNA expression levels of TLR4 and NF-κB p65， and their protein expression/phosphorylation levels in hippocampal tissue were significantly increased/elevated in the model group （ P ＜0.05）； the time spent in the target quadrant and the number of platform crossings were significantly shortened/decreased （ P ＜0.05）. Compared with the model group， the cognitive function， pathological， inflammatory， and apoptosis-related indicators were significantly improved in the TRV130 group， TAK-242 group， and Barbadin group （ P ＜0.05）； the mRNA expression levels of TLR4 and NF-κB p65 and their protein expression/phosphorylation levels were significantly decreased in the TRV130 group and TAK-242 group （ P ＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS TRV130 may improve POCD in elderly rats by inhibiting the TLR4/NF-κB pathway and alleviating postoperative central nervous system inflammatory responses.

Emicizumab (EMI) is a non-factor treatment drug, as a revolutionary bispecific antibody, it has shown significant efficacy and safety in the treatment of hemophilia A (HA). However, EMI affects the activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) test, thus the results of traditional APTT testing and one-stage coagulation factor determination based on APTT cannot reflect the true hemostatic status of patients treated with EMI, presenting a unique challenge to the laboratory assessment of hemostasis in patients with HA.This review aims to explore the clinical application of EMI in the treatment of HA, as well as the new advancements in laboratory testing that have emerged alongside its use.

Objective:To establish a modified one-stage clotting assay (mOSA) based on the STA-R Evolution coagulation analyzer for quantifying emicizumab (EMI) concentration and to preliminarily evaluate its analytical performance; meanwhile to explore the clinical utility of the standard one-stage clotting assay (sOSA) in indirectly predicting EMI levels through surrogate factor Ⅷ (FⅧ) activity.Methods:A total of 30 pediatric patients with hemophilia A (HA) treated with EMI in the Hemophilia Treatment Center of Shenzhen Children′s Hospital from January 2023 to March 2025 were enrolled, and 48 post-treatment plasma samples were collected. EMI standards (2.5~100 μg/ml) were prepared using FⅧ-deficient plasma to establish the mOSA detection system. The linearity, accuracy, and precision of the method were evaluated. Surrogate FⅧ activity was measured by sOSA to estimate EMI concentrations, and its correlation with mOSA-derived EMI concentrations was analyzed using Spearman correlation analysis. The equivalent FⅧ activity in patient plasma samples was measured using a human chromogenic substrate assay-based FⅧ activity detection reagent, and Spearman correlation analysis was employed to evaluate its correlations with both the EMI concentrations measured by the mOSA method and estimated by the sOSA method respectively.Results:The established mOSA method for EMI detection showed excellent linearity in the range of 2.5?100 μg/ml ( Y=1.047 X?1.033, R 2=0.995, P<0.001). Average spike recovery rates at 25, 50, and 75 μg/ml were 101.55%(25.39/25.00), 105.31%(52.66/50.00), and 98.20%(73.65/75.00), respectively. Coefficients of variations of within-and inter-batch were 3.47%?4.80% and 6.30%?8.96%, respectively. A prediction model for EMI concentration was established as follows: estimated EMI concentration (μg/ml)=0.095×[alternative FⅧ activity (%) measured by sOSA]+2.652 ( R2=0.999, P<0.001). Validation demonstrated a strong correlation between the EMI concentration measured by the mOSA method and the EMI concentration estimated by the sOSA method ( r=0.989, P<0.001), with good consistency ( Y=1.014 X+0.684, R2=0.972, P<0.001). Both the EMI concentration measured by the mOSA method and the EMI concentration estimated by the sOSA method showed extremely strong correlations with the equivalent FⅧ activity ( r=0.986 and 0.987, respectively; P<0.001 for both). Conclusions:The mOSA system established on the STA-R Evolution analyzer demonstrates robust linearity, accuracy, and reproducibility, fulfilling clinical requirements for therapeutic drug monitoring of EMI. The sOSA method provides reliable indirect estimation of EMI concentrations through surrogate FⅧ activity, offering critical support for emergency decision-making.

Objective:To establish a rapid quantitative model for the determination of moisture,extractives,and content in Pollen Typhae.Methods:Near-infrared spectra of 91 batches of Pollen Typhae samples were collected.Spectral preprocessing was performed using S-G,MSC,SNV,and CWT methods.Variable selection was conducted using CARS,SPA,and VIP methods,and compared with full-spectrum modeling.Partial least squares(PLS)mod-els were established for the quantitative determination of moisture,total ash,extractives,and content.The model performance was evaluated by calculating the coefficient of determination for the calibration set and validation set(R2 c,R2v),root mean square error of calibration and validation(RMSEc,RMSEv),and residual prediction devia-tion(RPD).Results:The PLS models for moisture,extractives,and content in Pollen Typhae showed R2c and R2v values greater than 0.9,RMSEc and RMSEv values approaching 0,and RPD values greater than 3.Conclusion:In this study,near-infrared spectroscopy was used to construct quantitative prediction models for moisture,extractives,typhaneoside,and isorhamnetin-3-O-neohesperidoside content in Pollen Typhae.This method enables rapid detection of the main quality control indicators of Pollen Typhae,providing strong technical support for its quality supervision.

BACKGROUND: Chronic kidney disease (CKD)-associated anemia (CKD-anemia) is associated with poor survival, and hemoglobin targets are often not achieved with current therapies. Phase 3 trials have demonstrated the treatment efficacy of roxadustat for CKD-anemia. This phase 4 study aims to evaluate the long-term (52-week) safety and effectiveness of roxadustat in a broad real-world patient population with CKD-anemia with and without dialysis in China. METHODS: This Phase 4 multicenter, open-label, prospective study, conducted from 24 November 2020 to 11 November 2022, evaluated the long-term safety and effectiveness of roxadustat for CKD-anemia in China. Patients aged ≥18 years with CKD-anemia with or without dialysis were included. The initial oral dose was 70-120 mg (weight-based followed by dose adjustment) over 52 weeks. The primary endpoint was safety based on adverse events (AEs). The secondary endpoints were hemoglobin changes from baseline and the proportion of patients who achieved mean hemoglobin ≥100 g/L. Effectiveness evaluable populations 1 (EE1) and EE2 included roxadustat-naïve and previously roxadustat-treated patients, respectively. The safety analysis set (SAF) included all patients who received ≥1 occasion. RESULTS: The EE1, EE2, and SAF populations included 1804, 193, and 2021 patients, respectively. In the SAF, the mean age was 50 ± 14 years, and 1087 patients (53.8%) were male. Mean baseline hemoglobin was 96.9 ± 14.0 g/L in EE1 and 100.3 ± 12.9 g/L in EE2. In EE1, the mean (95% confidence interval) hemoglobin changes from baseline over weeks 24-36 and 36-52 were 14.2 (13.5-14.9) g/L and 14.3 (13.5-15.0) g/L, respectively. Over weeks 24-36 and 36-52, 83.3% and 86.1% of patients in EE1 and 82.7% and 84.7% in EE2 achieved mean hemoglobin ≥100 g/L, respectively. In the SAF, 1643 (81.3%) patients experienced treatment-emergent AEs (TEAEs). Overall, 219 (10.8%) patients experienced drug-related TEAEs. Thirty-eight (1.9%) patients died of TEAEs (unrelated to the study drug). Vascular access thrombosis was uncommon. CONCLUSIONS: Roxadustat (52 weeks) increased hemoglobin and maintained the treatment target in Chinese patients with CKD-anemia with acceptable safety, supporting its use in real-world settings.
