OBJECTIVE:
To study bioactive compounds from the endophytic fungus Penicillium sp. HJT-A-6 isolated from stem of Rhodiola tibetica, and evaluate its allelopathic activity.
METHODS:
The chemical constituents were isolated and purified by silica gel, Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography and semi-preparative HPLC. Their structures were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic analysis and electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculations. In addition, the allelopathic activity of compound 1 was evaluated by measuring the seed germination rate of R. tibetica.
RESULTS:
Two new polyketides 4-hydroxy-3,6-dimethyl-2H-pyran-2-one (1) and penilactone E (2), together with six known compounds walterolactone A (3), 5-hydroxyhexan-4-olide (4), 3-methyl-2-penten-5-olide (5), chaetoquadrin F (6), (Z)-6-acetyl-3-(1,2-dihydroxypropylidene)-5-hydroxy-8-methylchroman-2-one (7) and 4-hydroxy-3-(4-hydroxyhexanoyl)-5-methylfuran-2(5H)-one (8) were isolated from Penicillium sp. HJT-A-6. Compound 1 showed moderate seed-germination-promoting activity at a concentration of 0.001 mg/mL while inhibiting the seed germination at concentrations of 0.1 and 0.01 mg/mL. Compared with the positive drug 6-benzyladenine (6-BA), compound 1 could extend the seed-germination period of R. tibetica (up to 11 d).
CONCLUSION
Two new compounds were isolated from R. tibetica endophytic fungus Penicillium sp. HJT-A-6. Compound 1 displayed plant hormone-like activity, which inhibited the seed germination of the host plant at high concentrations and promoted the seed germination of the host plant at low concentrations. The results not only enrich the chemical constituents of the endophytic fungi isolated from Rhodiola tibetica, but also provide a theoretical basis for understanding the interaction mechanism between Rhodiola tibetica endophytic fungi and the host plant.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of glofitamab in the treatment of relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL).Methods:A retrospective case series study was performed. The clinical data of 11 patients with relapsed/refractory DLBCL who were treated with glofitamab in Sichuan Provincial People's Hospital from March 2024 to October 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. All patients received glofitamab monotherapy. Dose escalation was required in the first course, and glofitamab at a dose of 30 mg was administered from the second to the 12th course. The general data, clinical manifestations, laboratory examination results, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance score, previous treatment history, therapeutic effect after medication and adverse reactions were collected.Results:Among 11 patients, there were 8 males and 3 females, with the median age [ M ( Q1, Q3)] of 60 (51, 76) years; 1 case was primary central nervous system DLBCL. The median number of prior treatment lines was 3 (2, 3) lines, and 6 cases received ≥3 lines of therapy; 1 case was double DLBCL and 3 cases was complicated with p53 mutations. The median follow-up time was 5 months (2-7 months). After treatment of the median number of glofitamab, 3 cases achieved complete remission, among which 1 case successfully bridged to autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation; 1 case had the stable disease and 7 cases achieved partial remission. Grade 1-2 adverse events included mild leukopenia in 3 patients, mild anemia in 4 patients, thrombocytopenia in 1 patient, and lymphopenia in 8 patients. Grade 3 hematologic adverse events included thrombocytopenia in 1 patient and severe lymphopenia in 1 patient. Non-hematological toxicities included mild rash in 1 patient, grade 1 liver dysfunction in 3 patients and inflammatory factor storm in 4 patients. No medication stop or deferral was found in patients due to severe adverse events. Conclusions:Glofitamab demonstrates a high response rate in the treatment of relapsed/refractory DLBCL, with manageable adverse events and a favorable safety.

Objective:To analyze the clinical and genetic characteristics of a family of cerebral autosomal recessive arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CARASIL) caused by a new locus of HTRA1 mutation. Methods:The medical history and clinical data of a patient with CARASIL were collected, and genetic test was performed on some family members to observe the HTRA1 mutation. Results:The proband presented with cognitive impairment, suspicious lumbar lesions, and alopecia. Cranial imaging revealed extensive blank brain lesions and multiple microbleeding foci. The mother of the proband had psychiatric symptoms and stroke once, and the sixth younger sister had history of dementia and hypertension. Genetic test revealed that the proband and his two sons carried HTRA1 heterogenic mutation c.888C>G (p.I296M), and the two sons had alopecia. Conclusion:The c.888C>G(p.I296M) may be a new pathogenic mutation site of CARASIL.

Objective To analyze the risk factors and clinical characteristics of uveitis in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA).Methods A retrospective case-control study was conducted on 30 children with JIA-associated uveitis (JIA-U )and 36 age-and gender-matched children diagnosed as simple JIA admitted to Children's Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from June 2016 to June 2023.The clinical data,laboratory indicators and radiological findings were collected,and analyzed for the risk factors for JIA-U with univariate and multivariate analysis.Results In this study,JIA-U mostly occurred in both eyes (63.3%,19/30),with anterior uveitis as the main cause (86.7%,26/30),insidious onset,and mostly occurred after JIA diagnosis (60.0%,18/30),and only 30% showing ocular discomfort or visual impairment.Univariate analysis showed that the JIA children with oligoarthritis JIA,negative rheumatoid factor (RF)and negative anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibody (anti-CCP)were prone to be complicated with uveitis (P<0.05 ). Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that RF negativity was an independent risk factor for development of JIA-U (OR=5.400,95% CI:1.033~28.227,P=0.046). Conclusion JIA-U of ten develops in both eyes,anterior uveitis is the most common,and it mostly diagnosed after JIA.It has no obvious eye symptoms in the early stage and thus is not easily recognized.Oligoarthritis JIA,RF-negative,and anti-CCP antibody-negative are the high-risk factors for the complication of JIA-U in children with JIA.

Taking Kunming Medical University as an example, we explore the mechanism for the separation and coordination of supervision, management, and evaluation, establish and implement a course quality rating system, and strengthen the course quality evaluation. The course quality rating system mainly consists of merit evaluation for courses of grades A and B and admittance evaluation for courses of grades C and D. Through the course quality rating, courses are diagnosed and compared, with the aim to improve course connotation construction (labeling, setting an example, promoting excellent courses, and removing inferior courses), achieve "good pay for good courses", encourage the faculty to strengthen curriculum quality, and measure ourselves with our own ruler. We discussed the problems about the difference in evaluation indicators, the professionality of evaluators, and the incentive effect of evaluation results, and also proposed strategies for improving course quality rating in medical colleges from the perspectives of deepening the content of evaluation indices, ensuring the effectiveness after evaluation, and ascertaining the main body of course construction in daily work.

Objective:With the full liberalization of China's fertility policy,the gradual increase in maternal age during pregnancy,and the rising proportion of overweight and obesity among women of childbearing age,the number of pregnant women with chronic hypertension(CHTN)combined with gestational diabetes mellitus(GDM)is increasing,leading to a significantly increased risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes.This study aims to analyze the prevalence of CHTN and CHTN complications with GDM,and compare the adverse pregnancy outcomes between the 2 conditions,providing a basis for intervention measures. Methods:This study was a prospective cohort study.A total of 378 366 cases from a large cohort of pregnant women between January 1,2016 to December 31,2020 were screened to identify 1 418 cases of pregnant women with CHTN,among which 1 027 were cases of CHTN alone and 391 were cases of CHTN combined with GDM.SAS9.4 was used to statistically analyze the basic characteristics,clinical data,and pregnant outcomes of pregnant women and to analyze the risk factors affecting the pregnancy outcomes of patients with CHTN and its complications with GDM. Results:The prevalence rate of CHTN with pregnancy was 3.8‰,and the prevalence rate of CHTN combined with GDM was 1.0‰.Patients with CHTN combined with GDM accounted for 27.57%(391/1 418)of all pregnant women with CHTN.Maternal age,number of pregnancies,parity,previous cesarean section,systolic blood pressure,diastolic blood pressure,and mean arterial pressure at the time of enrollment were statistically significant differences between the 2 groups(all P<0.05).After adjusting for potential confounding factors such as maternal age,parity,and number of pregnancies,binary Logistic regression analysis showed that pregnant women with CHTN combined with GDM had a 1.348 times higher risk of cesarean section(OR=1.348,95%CI 1.043 to 1.741),a 2.029 times higher risk of placental adhesion(OR=2.029,95%CI 1.190 to 3.462),a 1.540 times higher risk of preeclampsia(OR=1.540,95%CI 1.101 to 2.152),and a 2.670 times higher risk of macrosomia(OR=2.670,95%CI 1.398 to 5.100)compared to pregnant women with CHTN alone. Conclusion:Pregnant women with CHTN combined with GDM have a high risk,and their pregnancy outcomes differ from those of pregnant women with CHTN alone in terms of cesarean section,placental adhesion,preeclampsia,and macrosomia.Prenatal care for this population,especially the management of blood pressure and blood sugar,needs to be given special attention.

ObjectiveTo investigate the epidemic characteristics and influencing factors of acute conjunctivitis caused by human adenovirus(HAdv)in Yantian District of Shenzhen City, Guangdong Province from 2014 to 2022, and to provide evidence for formulating effective prevention and control measures. MethodsDescriptive epidemiology was used to analyze the epidemiological characteristics of acute hemorrhagic conjunctivitis (AHC) cases reported from the Chinese disease prevention and control information system. Etiological characteristics of laboratory-confirmed cases were analyzed, and a case-control study method of test-negative design (TND) was conducted as well. According to the result of HAdv detection, analysis was used to identify the influencing factors of morbidity. ResultsA total of 1 005 AHC cases were reported in Yantian District, Shenzhen City from 2014 to 2022, with an average annual incidence rate of 49.49/105. The incidence rate ranged from 4.67/105 to 117.28/105. The peak incidence occurred from July to October each year, with a male-to-female ratio of 1.42∶1. The median (P25,P75) age of onset was 29(12,40) years. A total of 716 eye swabs were collected for etiological detection from 2014 to 2022. HAdv positive detection rate was 36.45% (263/716), Cox 24v positive detection rate was 0.28% (2/716), while EV70 was not detected. The longest viral shedding time in eye swabs was 10 days, with a median of 2 days. The highest HAdv positive detection rate (47.47%) was observed when the sampling-to-onset interval was 4‒5 days, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05), with a trend of first increasing and then decreasing. Multivariate logistic regressing analysis showed that aged 18‒ years, and average temperature higher than 24.90 ℃ 3 days before onset (P<0.05) were the risk factors for acute HAdv conjunctivitis. ConclusionAHC in Yantian District, Shenzhen City showed a low level of prevalence from 2014 to 2022, with HAdv being the predominant pathogen. The peak period of viral shedding occurred on the 4th to 5th day after symptom onset, suggesting the importance of adherence to strict home isolation for infected persons. Aged18‒ years and average temperature increased 3 days before onset are associated with an increased risk of adenoviral conjunctivitis. It is recommended to strengthen personal protection and keep doing a good job of AHC surveillance and early warning, so as to timely prevent the outbreaks of AHC.
