Aging is accompanied by significant inhibition of hematopoietic and immune system function and disruption of bone marrow structure. Aging-related alterations in the inflammatory response, immunity, and stem cell niches are at the root of hematopoietic aging. Understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying hematopoietic and bone marrow aging can aid the clinical treatment of aging-related diseases. In particular, it is unknown how the niche reprograms hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) in an age-dependent manner to maintain normal hematopoiesis in elderly individuals. Recently, specific inhibitors and blood exchange methods have been shown to reshape the hematopoietic niche and reverse hematopoietic aging. Here, we present the latest scientific discoveries related to hematopoietic aging and hematopoietic system rejuvenation, discuss the relationships between hematopoietic niche aging and HSC aging, and describe related studies on stem cell-mediated regulation of hematopoietic aging, aiming to provide new ideas for further study.

Hepatolenticular degeneration is kind of an autosomal recessive genetic disease with diverse, complex and non-specific clinical manifestations, high misdiagnosis rate, rapid disease progression, poor drug treatment effect, and high mortality. It is one of the rare several genetic metabolic diseases in clinic that could be cured by liver transplantation method. Liver transplantation provides healthy P-type ATP enzyme through the donor liver, which can correct its genetic defects, improve copper metabolism disorders, relieve clinical symptoms, improve the quality of life, and improve the survival rate of patients. Liver transplantation is playing an increasingly important role as an important means to treat hepatolenticular degeneration. With the rapid development of partial living donor liver transplantation, auxiliary liver transplantation, domino-assisted liver transplantation and cross-assisted domino liver transplantation, a new way has been provided for patients with hepatolenticular degeneration, alleviating the problem of donor liver shortage and shortening the waiting time of recipients, which has certain clinical value and development prospects. In this paper, a review of the research progress in the treatment of hepatolenticular degeneration with liver transplantation was made with reference to the relevant literature at home and abroad.

Objective:To evaluate the effects of pegylated interferon (Peg-IFN) alfa-2b combined with nucleotide analogues (NAs) on the recurrence of hepatitis B-related liver cancer after resection, and to explore the changes of HBsAg and HBV DNA in patients with chronic hepatitis B liver cancer during postoperative treatment.Methods:The prospective study was conducted. Clinical data of 43 patients with hepatitis B-related liver cancer who underwent radical resection treated in 900th Hospital of People′s Liberation Army were prospectively analyzed from January 2020 to December 2021. Among 43 patients, there were 39 males and 4 females, the age was 30-76 years. According to different treatment methods they were divided into two groups, the patients treated by Peg-IFN alfa-2b combined with NAs were devided into the IFN group( n=10), and those treated by NAs alone into the NAs group( n=33). Two-pair semi-quantitative were collected every 3 months after operation. The recurrence-free survival rate, recurrence time after 2 years in the two groups, the clearance rate and the negative rate of HBsAg and HBV DNA in the two groups. Peg-IFN alfa-2b was evaluated in improving the prognosis of hepatitis B-related liver cancer. The measurement data of normal distribution were expressed by mean±standard deviation ( ± s), and t-test was used for comparison between the two groups. Chi-square test was used for comparison between the two groups of count data. Repeated analysis of measurement variance was used for analysis HBsAg and HBV DNA changes of the interferon group overall survival time and recurrence-free surrival time of patients was estimated using Kaplan-Meier method and the difference between groups was assessed using Log-rank test. Results:HBsAg and HBV DNA: The HBsAg clearance rate at 24 weeks and that at 48 weeks in the IFN group were 24.6% and 59.0% respectively. The HBsAg negative rate at 48 weeks was 16.7%. The HBV DNA clearance rate at 24 weeks and that at 48 weeks were 33.9% and 53.8% respectively. The HBV DNA negative rate was 0 at 48 weeks. The levels of HBsAg and HBV DNA in the IFN group decreased gradually with time. There were statistically differences between the levels of HBsAg and HBV DNA at 0 weeks, 24 weeks and 48 weeks( P<0.05). The 2-year overall survival rates of IFN group and NAs group were 100% and 90.9% respectively. The 2-year recurrence-free survival rates were 90.0% and 63.6% respectively. There were no significant statistical differences in the overall survival rate and recurrence-free survival rate between the groups ( P>0.05). The postoperative recurrence time of the IFN group and the NAs group were (15.00±7.07) months and (5.78±3.39) months respectively. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( t=3.160, P<0.01). Conclusion:Long-term antiviral therapy of Peg-IFN alfa-2b combined with NAs can prolong the recurrence time of liver cancer, reduce the levels of HBsAg and HBV DNA in serum, and potentially improve the survival rate of the patients compared with therapy of NAs alone.

The pre-hospitalization service is an important initiative for medical institutions to implement the national reform of the medical security system. In 2018, Zhejiang province proposed the " most run once reform", requiring the establishment of an admission preparation center to carry out pre-hospitalization services. In June 2021, a certain maternal and child health hospital conducted a process reengineering for the pre admission process of the admission preparation center by applying the combined process analysis and failure mode and effects analysis, high-risk points of the hospitalization process were screened, the job value and job functions of each sector were sorted out, and the sector for improvement sector was evaluated, to launch an independent information system, establish a one click automatic import of pre hospital medical orders function, and remove on-site billing physicians from various specialties for improvement measures. The steps of the process had been optimized, inlcuding issuing pre hospital medical orders, waiting for pre-hospitalization, pre-hospitalization, and so on. The completeness rate of pre hospital medical orders, average waiting days before hospitalization, and patient satisfaction scores of pre hospitalization centers had changed from 91%, 2.99 days, and 93.46 points before process reengineering to 92%, 2.44 days, and 95.80 points after reengineering, respectively. This practice had achieved dual improvements in pre admission service quality and efficiency, so as to provide a reference for China′s medical institutions to carry out safe and efficient pre admission services.

Objective:To investigate the effect of different spray-coagulation time of argon plasma coagulation (APC) injury on the Glisson system primary branche(G1) in the hepatic portal of pigs.Methods:Fifty clean healthy domestic pigs (27 females and 23 males, aged 7 to 14 months) were selected, with the body weighted (100.0±9.5) kg. They were randomly divided into five groups (A, B, C, D, and E), with 10 pigs in each group. G1 models were made and sprayed by APC for 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 seconds. The damage, maximum damage area, maximum damage depth, and damage of the three branches of the Glisson system (the first branches of the portal vein, intrahepatic bile duct, and hepatic artery) were compared among the groups. The pigs were divided into two groups based on whether the three branches were damaged or not: the three-branch damage group ( n=23) and the control group ( n=27). The maximum damage area and maximum damage depth were compared between the two groups. Results:After the APC spraying, circular or elliptical damage appeared on the surface of the G1, with changes such as yellow-brown color, brown color, charred appearance, and defects. Under the microscope, G1 capsule was found to be deficient, the fibrous tissue beneath the capsule was ruptured, and the structures of small blood vessels and small bile ducts were incomplete. " Burn marks" and damage to the three branches of the Glisson system in G1 were also observed, and the damage was more severe at the center of the spray-coagulation. As the spray-coagulation time increased, the maximum damage area of the G1 model also increased, and the two were positively correlated ( r=0.90, P<0.001). The maximum damage depth was also positively correlated with spray-coagulation time ( r=0.97, P<0.001). The numbers of pigs with damage to the three branches of the Glisson system in Groups A-E were 0, 2, 5, 6, and 10, respectively, and the number of pigs with damage increased with the spray-coagulation time. In the three-branch damage group, the spray-coagulation time, maximum damage area, and maximum damage depth were all higher than those in the control group (without three-branch damage), and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). Conclusion:The degree of damage to G1 caused by APC is positively correlated with the spray-coagulation time, and damage to the three branches of the Glisson system in G1 is related to the maximum damage area, maximum damage depth, and APC spray-coagulation time.

Hilar cholangiocarcinoma(HCCA) is a hotpot and a difficult point in the field of hepatobiliary surgery. HCCA is the most common type of cholangiocarcinoma and is characterized by atypical early clinical manifestations, rapid progression and poor prognosis. There is no specific marker for HCCA and its preoperative diagnosis and evaluation mainly relies on imaging examination. Surgical treatment is still the main treatment, but most patients have lost the opportunity of surgical resection by the time of treatment. In recent years, a large number of studies have been conducted on the diagnosis and treatment of HCCA at home and abroad, and the efficacy of HCCA has been improved. Perioperative management, including the selection of preoperative drainage and perioperative chemoradiotherapy and others, improved postoperative survival. Among them, the application of preoperative radiotherapy and chemotherapy in the field of liver transplantation has achieved quite good results. Targeted therapy and immunotherapy have provided new treatment methods for HCCA. This paper reviews the diagnosis and multimodal treatment of HCCA.
