Objective:To investigate effects of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes(hUCMSCs-Exo)on bisphenol AF(BPAF)-induced oxidative damage and inflammatory factor release from endometrial stromal cells(hESCs).Methods:hESCs were divided into Control group,BPAF group(25 μmol/L BPAF treatment),BPAF+Exo group(25 μmol/L BPAF+hUCMSCs-Exo treatment),BPAF+Exo+LY group(25 μmol/L BPAF+hUCMSCs-Exo+10 μmol/L LY294002 treatment).Cell prolifera-tion was detected by MTT assay;apoptosis,intracellular ROS level,and mitochondrial membrane potential level were detected by flow cytometry;protein expressions of Bcl-2,Bax,Cleaved-caspase-3 and PI3K/AKT signaling pathway were detected by Western blot;mRNA expressions of inflammatory factors TNF-α,IL-6 and IL-1β were detected by RT-qPCR.Results:Compared with Control group,hESCs survival rate was gradually decreased(P<0.01),apoptosis rate was gradually increased with the increased concentration of BPAF(≥25 μmol/L).Compared with Control group,BPAF group showed increased ROS level,decreased mitochondrial membrane potential level,increased Bax and Cleaved-caspase-3 protein expressions,and decreased Bcl-2,p-PI3K and p-AKT protein expressions.Compared with BPAF group,cell survival rate of BPAF+Exo group was increased(P<0.01),ROS level decreased,mitochondrial membrane potential level increased,expressions of Bax and Cleaved-caspase-3 proteins decreased,and expressions of Bcl-2,p-PI3K and p-AKT increased.Compared with BPAF+Exo group,expressions of Bax and Cleaved-caspase-3 protein in cells of BPAF+Exo+LY group were increased,while expressions of Bcl-2,p-PI3K and p-AKT protein were decreased.Expressions of inflammatory factors TNF-α,IL-6 and IL-1β mRNA were significantly up-regulated in BPAF group compared with Control group(P<0.01),and expressions of inflammatory factors mRNA were significantly down-regulated in BPAF+Exo group compared with BPAF group(P<0.05).Conclu-sion:BPAF(≥25 μmol/L)inhibits proliferation of hESCs and promoted apoptosis.hUCMSCs-Exo inhibits BPAF-induced oxidative dam-age and inflammatory factors expressions in hESCs through PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.

[Purpose]To analyze the results of cervical cancer screening among married women of 25～64 years old in Shihezi City from 2021 to 2023,and to explore the risk factors of cervical le-sions.[Methods]The results of cervical cancer screening among married women aged 25～64 years old in Shihezi City from 2021 to 2023 were retrospectively analyzed.The detection rates of common gynecological diseases,cervical cancer and precancerous lesions and human papillo-mavirus(HPV)infection by cervical cytology,colposcopy and cervical biopsy were analyzed.[Re-sults]The HPV infection(mainly single infection)rate was 10.74％.The common gynecological diseases were vaginitis,cervicitis and uterine leiomyoma.The detection rate of cervical cancer was 19.59/105,and the detection rate of cervical precancerous lesions was 308.52/105.Rural resi-dents,HPV 16/18 infection,genital warts were the risk factors for cervical lesions.[Conclusion]Female cervical lesions are significantly correlated with HPV 16/18 infection,genital condyloma acuminatum,particularly for rural residents,and preventive care,early screening and interven-tion should be strengthened for these populations.

Objective To evaluate the impact of slow-freezing process on human ovarian tissue with the standard cryopreservation-thawing protocol of Fertility Protection Center of Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital,Capital Medical University.Methods Ovarian tissues of 12 patients were divided into fresh ovarian tissue group(fresh group)and freezing-thawing ovarian tissue group(F-T group).The freezing-thawing protocol was the standard protocol in our center.The number and activity of follicle were examined with Hematoxylin-eosin(HE)staining and calcein-AM(calcein acetoxymethylester)staining,and the proliferation and apoptosis was evaluated with the immunohistochemical staining of Ki-67 and caspase-3.The expressions of apoptosis-related proteins such as caspase-3,bax and FasL between the two groups were compared with Western blotting.Results There were no statistically significant differences in follicle counting and follicle activity in ovarian tissues pre-and post-freezing-thawing(P>0.05),and the positive rate of Ki-67 in ovarian tissues after freezing-thawing was significantly lower than that in fresh ovarian tissues(P<0.05),and there was no statistically significant difference in the positive rate of caspase-3 between the two groups(P>0.05).The expression of caspase-3 protein in ovarian tissues after freezing-thawing was significantly higher than that in fresh ovarian tissues(P<0.05),while the expressions of other apoptosis-related proteins such as bax and FasL were not significantly different(P>0.05).Conclusion The standard cryopreservation-thawing regimen in our center can effectively maintain the follicle number,morphology,and activity in ovarian tissues.After freezing and thawing,the cell proliferation level is decreased.The expression of apoptosis-related proteins such as bax and FasL are not increased,and the expression of caspase-3 is relatively increased.These results suggest our freezing-thawing regimen is good for human ovarian tissue.

Objective:To retrospectively analyze the treatment status of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) in newly diagnosed patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) in China.Methods:Data of chronic phase (CP) and accelerated phase (AP) CML patients diagnosed from January 2006 to December 2022 from 77 centers, ≥18 years old, and receiving initial imatinib, nilotinib, dasatinib or flumatinib-therapy within 6 months after diagnosis in China with complete data were retrospectively interrogated. The choice of initial TKI, current TKI medications, treatment switch and reasons, treatment responses and outcomes as well as the variables associated with them were analyzed.Results:6 893 patients in CP ( n=6 453, 93.6%) or AP ( n=440, 6.4%) receiving initial imatinib ( n=4 906, 71.2%), nilotinib ( n=1 157, 16.8%), dasatinib ( n=298, 4.3%) or flumatinib ( n=532, 7.2%) -therapy. With the median follow-up of 43 ( IQR 22-75) months, 1 581 (22.9%) patients switched TKI due to resistance ( n=1 055, 15.3%), intolerance ( n=248, 3.6%), pursuit of better efficacy ( n=168, 2.4%), economic or other reasons ( n=110, 1.6%). The frequency of switching TKI in AP patients was significantly-higher than that in CP patients (44.1% vs 21.5%, P<0.001), and more AP patients switched TKI due to resistance than CP patients (75.3% vs 66.1%, P=0.011). Multi-variable analyses showed that male, lower HGB concentration and ELTS intermediate/high-risk cohort were associated with lower cytogenetic and molecular responses rate and poor outcomes in CP patients; higher WBC count and initial the second-generation TKI treatment, the higher response rates; Ph + ACA at diagnosis, poor PFS. However, Sokal intermediate/high-risk cohort was only significantly-associated with lower CCyR and MMR rates and the poor PFS. Lower HGB concentration and larger spleen size were significantly-associated with the lower cytogenetic and molecular response rates in AP patients; initial the second-generation TKI treatment, the higher treatment response rates; lower PLT count, higher blasts and Ph + ACA, poorer TFS; Ph + ACA, poorer OS. Conclusion:At present, the vast majority of newly-diagnosed CML-CP or AP patients could benefit from TKI treatment in the long term with the good treatment responses and survival outcomes.

Objective To investigate the correlation between the appendicular skeletal mass index(ASMI)and os-teoporosis(OP)in postmenopausal patients with type 2 diabetes(T2DM).Methods 164 hospitalized postmeno-pausal elderly T2DM patients were selected and their bone density(BMD)and appendicular skeletal mass were measured using dual energy X-ray absorption method(DXA).ASMI=appendicular skeletal mass/height2(kg/m2),and they were divided into OP group and non OP group based on T value.The general clinical data,blood biochemical indicators,and ASMI between the two groups were compared,and Logistic regression analysis,ROC curve were further used to analyze the correlation and diagnostic power.Results Compared with non OP group,OP group had a higher incidence of sarcopenia(SAC)(P＜0.05);the differences in age,ASMI,body mass index(BMI),and estradiol(E2)had significant differences between the two groups(P＜0.05);Logistic regression analysis showed that the reduction of ASMI[OR=0.133,95％CI(0.029-0.611)],BMI[OR=0.785,95％CI(0.625-0.985)],and E2[OR=0.967,95％CI(0.942-0.993)]were protective factors for OP;receiver operating curve(ROC)suggested that the AUC of ASMI for OP prediction was 0.752[95％CI(0.632-0.872),P＜0.001]with sensitivity 87.5％,specificity 47.8％,and the best diagnostic value was 5.52 kg/m2.Conclusion The reduction of ASMI,BMI,and E2 is positively correlated with the occurrence of osteoporosis.ASMI is an important protective factor for osteoporosis.Early OP screening and risk factor assessment should be conducted for elderly postmenopausal T2DM patients,and early intervention measures should be taken to reduce the risk of falls and fractures.

Klebsiella pneumoniae is one of the common pathogens causing hospital-acquired infection. With the wide use of carbapenem in recent years, carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) has emerged around the world. Carbapenemase production is the main cause of resistance to carbapenem antibiotics in Klebsiella pneumoniae. More than 70% of Klebsiella pneumoniae strains produce carbapenemase. Ceftazidime/avibactam (CAZ/AVI) can effectively treat CRKP infection, especially those caused by CRKP that can produce Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC) or oxaclillinase (OXA)-48. However, it has been reported that CAZ/AVI-resistant CRKP strains have emerged. In this paper, the epidemiology, risk factors, resistance mechanism and treatment of CAZ/AVI-resistant CRKP were summarized to provide reference for clinical treatment.

Objectives:To investigate the clinical and genetic features of young Chinese patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) .Methods:In this cross-sectional study, anonymous questionnaires were distributed to patients with MPN patients nationwide. The respondents were divided into 3 groups based on their age at diagnosis: young (≤40 years) , middle-aged (41-60 years) , and elderly (>60 years) . We compared the clinical and genetic characteristics of three groups of MPN patients.Results:1727 assessable questionnaires were collected. There were 453 (26.2%) young respondents with MPNs, including 274 with essential thrombocythemia (ET) , 80 with polycythemia vera (PV) , and 99 with myelofibrosis. Among the young group, 178 (39.3%) were male, and the median age was 31 (18-40) years. In comparison to middle-aged and elderly respondents, young respondents with MPN were more likely to present with a higher proportion of unmarried status (all P<0.001) , a higher education level (all P<0.001) , less comorbidity (ies) , fewer medications (all P<0.001) , and low-risk stratification (all P<0.001) . Younger respondents experienced headache (ET, P<0.001; PV, P=0.007; MF, P=0.001) at diagnosis, had splenomegaly at diagnosis (PV, P<0.001) , and survey (ET, P=0.052; PV, P=0.063) . Younger respondents had fewer thrombotic events at diagnosis (ET, P<0.001; PV, P=0.011) and during the survey (ET, P<0.001; PV, P=0.003) . JAK2 mutations were found in fewer young people (ET, P<0.001; PV, P<0.001; MF, P=0.013) ; however, CALR mutations were found in more young people (ET, P<0.001; MF, P=0.015) . Furthermore, mutations in non-driver genes (ET, P=0.042; PV, P=0.043; MF, P=0.004) and high-molecular risk mutations (ET, P=0.024; PV, P=0.023; MF, P=0.001) were found in fewer young respondents. Conclusion:Compared with middle-aged and elderly patients, young patients with MPN had unique clinical and genetic characteristics.
