Organ transplantation is an effective treatment for end-stage organ failure, but postoperative infections and rejection reactions are key factors affecting the survival of the patients. Recently, the incidence of human parvovirus B19 (B19V) infection following transplantation has increased. B19V is a non-enveloped virus that primarily infects the upper respiratory tract and exhibits significant tropism for erythroid progenitor cells in the bone marrow, leading to the lysis of erythrocytes and hematological abnormalities. After B19V viremia, it may further infect other cells, triggering inflammatory responses and tissue damage. B19V infection may lead to chronic anemia in organ transplant patients, thereby affecting the success of the transplant and the survival of the patients. Therefore, it is essential to diagnose and monitor B19V infection post-transplantation. Due to the immunosuppressive therapy following transplantation, traditional serological detection methods, such as IgM and IgG antibody tests, are often unreliable. In contrast, molecular biological detection, especially real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR technology, provides more accurate results. However, the diversity of B19V genotypes may lead to the missed detection of some genotypes. Thus, it is necessary to use different detection techniques to improve the diagnostic accuracy of B19 virus infections. Additionally, there is a need to explore more precise diagnostic methods to enhance the early identification and management of B19V infection, further improving the survival and life quality of the patients.

This study aims to investigate the mechanism by which resveratrol(RES) alleviates cerebral vascular endothelial damage in sepsis-associated encephalopathy(SAE) through network pharmacology and animal experiments. By using network pharmacology, the study identified common targets and genes associated with RES and SAE and constructed a protein-protein interaction( PPI) network. Gene Ontology(GO) analysis and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis were performed to pinpoint key signaling pathways, followed by molecular docking validation. In the animal experiments, a cecum ligation and puncture(CLP) method was employed to induce SAE in mice. The mice were randomly assigned to the sham group, CLP group, and medium-dose and high-dose groups of RES. The sham group underwent open surgery without CLP, and the CLP group received an intraperitoneal injection of 0. 9% sodium chloride solution after surgery. The medium-dose and high-dose groups of RES were injected intraperitoneally with 40 mg·kg-1 and 60 mg·kg~(-1) of RES after modeling, respectively, and samples were collected 12 hours later. Neurological function scores were assessed, and the wet-dry weight ratio of brain tissue was detected. Serum superoxide dismutase(SOD), catalase( CAT) activity, and malondialdehyde( MDA) content were measured by oxidative stress kit. Histopathological changes in brain tissue were examined using hematoxylin-eosin(HE) staining. Transmission electron microscopy was employed to evaluate tight cell junctions and mitochondrial ultrastructure changes in cerebral vascular endothelium. Western blot analysis was performed to detect the expression of zonula occludens1( ZO-1), occludin, claudins-5, optic atrophy 1( OPA1), mitofusin 2(Mfn2), dynamin-related protein 1(Drp1), fission 1(Fis1), and hypoxia-inducible factor-1α(HIF-1α). Network pharmacology identified 76 intersecting targets for RES and SAE, with the top five core targets being EGFR, PTGS2, ESR1, HIF-1α, and APP. GO enrichment analysis showed that RES participated in the SAE mechanism through oxidative stress reaction. KEGG enrichment analysis indicated that RES participated in SAE therapy through HIF-1α, Rap1, and other signaling pathways. Molecular docking results showed favorable docking activity between RES and key targets such as HIF-1α. Animal experiment results demonstrated that compared to the sham group, the CLP group exhibited reduced nervous reflexes, decreased water content in brain tissue, as well as serum SOD and CAT activity, and increased MDA content. In addition, the CLP group exhibited disrupted tight junctions in cerebral vascular endothelium and abnormal mitochondrial morphology. The protein expression levels of Drp1, Fis1, and HIF-1α in brain tissue were increased, while those of ZO-1, occludin, claudin-5, Mfn2, and OPA1 were decreased. In contrast, the medium-dose and high-dose groups of RES showed improved neurological function, increased water content in brain tissue and SOD and CAT activity, and decreased MDA content. Cell morphology in brain tissue, tight junctions between endothelial cells, and mitochondrial structure were improved. The protein expressions of Drp1, Fis1, and HIF-1α were decreased, while those of ZO-1, occludin, claudin-5, Mfn2, and OPA1 were increased. This study suggested that RES could ameliorate cerebrovascular endothelial barrier function and maintain mitochondrial homeostasis by inhibiting oxidative stress after SAE damage, potentially through modulation of the HIF-1α signaling pathway.

A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical course of two children with PICALM-MLLT10-positive acute leukemia treated at Tongji Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, between July 2021 and July 2023. The patients were diagnosed with acute T-lymphoblastic leukemia with central nervous system involvement and high-risk acute myeloid leukemia, respectively. Both achieved bone marrow complete remission after conventional chemotherapy combined with venetoclax. Following conversion to molecular negativity, they underwent sequential allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. At the latest follow-up, both patients were alive and in good clinical condition. These observations suggest that proceeding to hematopoietic stem cell transplantation after venetoclax-based chemotherapy may improve the long-term survival of children with PICALM-MLLT10-positive leukemia.

Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of subcutaneous immunotherapy(SCIT)using dust mites in children with allergic asthma.Methods In a prospective randomized controlled study,98 children with dust mite-induced allergic asthma were randomly divided into a control group(n=49)and an SCIT group(n=49).The control group received inhaled corticosteroid treatment,while the SCIT group additionally received a standardized three-year SCIT regimen.The two groups were compared based on peripheral blood eosinophil percentage,visual analogue score(VAS),total medication score,Asthma Control Test/Childhood Asthma Control Test scores,fractional exhaled nitric oxide(FeNO),and lung function before treatment,and at 6 months,1 year,2 years,and 3 years after treatment.Adverse reactions were recorded post-injection to evaluate the safety of SCIT.Results Compared with pre-treatment levels,the SCIT group showed a significant reduction in the percentage of peripheral blood eosinophils,VAS,total medication score,and FeNO,while lung function significantly improved,and asthma control levels were better 3 years after treatment(P<0.05).Compared with the control group,the SCIT group showed more significant improvement in all evaluated indicators 3 years after treatment(P<0.05).A total of 2 744 injections were administered,resulting in 157 cases(5.72%)of local adverse reactions and 4 cases(0.15%)of systemic adverse reactions,with no severe systemic adverse events.Conclusions SCIT is an effective and safe treatment for allergic asthma in children.

Pulmonary disease is one of the major threats to human health. However, the current clinical treatment drugs for lung diseases generally have problems such as low lung delivery efficiency, fast clearance rate and obvious toxic side effects. Recently, membrane biomimetic nanocarriers have attracted more and more attention. Due to their advantages of high targeting, long cycle time, good biocompatibility and strong immune escape ability, membrane biomimetic nanocarriers have become a major research hotspot in targeted therapy of lung diseases. In this review, we discuss the main preparation methods of membrane biomimetic nanoparticles, the characteristics of membrane biomimetic nanocarriers from different cell sources and their application in the targeted therapy of lung diseases. At the same time, according to the characteristics of different membranes, the shortcomings, current technical limitations and future prospects are discussed. This review is expected to provide references for the design of membrane biomimetic nanocarriers and their potential applications in the treatment of lung diseases.

This study was aimed at understanding the etiological and genetic characteristics of Yersinia enterocolica isolated in Jiangsu Province between 2005 and 2019.All 110 identified strains of Y.enterocolica were from patients with foodborne diar-rhea in Jiangsu Province,or from pigs,dogs,cattle,sheep,poultry,flies,or food.Virulence genes,biological serotypes,drug resistance,multilocus sequence typing(MLST),and core genome multilocus sequence typing(cgMLST)based on whole-genome sequencing were performed.The strains included 27 pathogenic strains(24.5％)and 83 non-pathogenic strains(75.5％).Non-pathogenic strains accounted for a high proportion,particularly among strains from patients(15/16,93.8％).The biological serotypes of pathogenic strains were mainly type 3/O∶3(26/27,96.3％).Non-pathogenic strains included 1A/O∶8 type(23/83,27.7％),1 A/O∶5 type(14/83,16.9％),and the other four biological serotypes(excluding unknown se-rotypes).Pathogenic strains were dominated by type 3/O∶3(26/27,96.3％),and more than 80％of these strains were sensi-tive to 19 antibiotic types.Whole-genome sequencing indicated that the pathogenic strains were all ST135 type,whereas the non-pathogenic strains were more diverse and scattered.HierCC clustering analysis grouped all strains into three clus-ters:pathogenic strains were in one cluster,and strains from patients were found in all three clusters.In conclusion,the Y.enterocolica strains from patients were primarily non-patho-genic.Non-pathogenic strains showed richer epigenetic and ge-netic diversity than pathogenic strains.The monitoring of these strains should be strengthened to decrease the risk of human infection.
