OBJECTIVE: To analyze the efficacy and safety of decitabine-based myeloablative preconditioning regimen for allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). METHODS: The clinical characteristics and efficacy of 115 AML patients who underwent allo-HSCT at the First Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital from August 2018 to August 2022 were retrospectively analyzed, including 37 patients treated with decitabine conditioning regimen (decitabine group) and 78 patients without decitabine conditioning regimen (non-decitabine group). The cumulative incidence of relapse (CIR), overall survival (OS), leukemia-free survival (LFS), non-relapse mortality (NRM) and graft versus host disease (GVHD) were analyzed. RESULTS: For the patients in first complete remission (CR1) state before allo-HSCT, the 1-year relapse rates of decitabine group(22 cases) and non-decitabine group(69 cases) were 9.1% and 29.6%, respectively, the difference was statistically significant(P =0.042). The 1-year cumulative incidence of acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) in decitabine group and non-decitabine group was 62.2% and 70.5%, respectively, and the 1-year cumulative incidence of chronic inhibitor-versus-host disease (cGVHD) was 18.9% and 14.1%, respectively, there were no significant differences in the incidence of aGVHD and cGVHD between the two groups (P >0.05). Of the 115 patients, there were no significantly differences in the 1-year CIR(21.7% vs 28.8%, P =0.866), NRM(10.9% vs 3.9%, P =0.203), OS(75.2% vs 83.8%, P =0.131) and LFS(74.6% vs 69.1%, P =0.912) between the decitabine group(37 cases) and the non-decitabine group(78 cases). CONCLUSION Decitabine-based conditioning regimen could reduce the relapse rate of AML CR1 patients with good safety.

Aim To study the protective effect of the silibinin derivative Sil-1 on acute myocardial ischemia in SD rats and its mechanism of action.Methods Af-ter 18 hours of oxygen-glucose deprivation and treat-ment of H9c2 cells,the protective effect of Sil-1 on rat cardiomyocytes was examined.SD rats were treated 30 minutes before surgery,followed by 24 h ligation of the left anterior descending coronary artery.The cardiopro-tective effects of Sil-1 and its mechanisms for improving myocardial ischemic injury were investigated using pro-teomics technology.Results In vitro,compared with the control group,the activity of H9c2 cells in the mod-el group showed reduced cell viability,increased dead cells,elevated ROS and higher levels of LDH and in-flammatory cytokines TNF-α,IL-1β and IL-6 in the culture medium.Sil-1 could improve the above condi-tions to different degrees.In vivo,compared with the control group,rats in the model group showed signifi-cantly higher T waves on electrocardiogram,significant ischemic areas in the heart section,disorganized ar-rangement of cardiomyocytes,increased inflammatory factor infiltration and elevated CK,CK-MB,LDH and inflammatory factors TNF-α,IL-6 and IL-1β.Besides,NF-κB phosphorylation levels in myocardial tissue in-creased.Sil-1 improved the above conditions to varying degrees.The results of proteomics showed that 90 pro-teins were found between the control vs model group and the Sil-1 vs model group,and KEGG enrichment a-nalysis showed that MAPK,chemokines,VEGF and other signaling pathways were abundant.Western blot results showed that Sil-1 blocked the phosphorylation of ERK,JNK and p38 MAPK.Conclusions Sil-1 inhib-its the MAPK pathway by blocking the phosphorylation of JNK,ERK,and p38 MAPK,and achieves a protec-tive effect on rats with acute myocardial infarction.

Objective:To construct a decision tree model to predict the risk of breast cancer in patients with pathological nipple discharge.Methods:A total of 157 patients with pathological nipple discharge,who were diagnosed and treated at Weifang Municipal Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from January 2019 to April 2024 and met the inclusion criteria,were selected.A risk prediction model for concurrent breast cancer in patients with pathological nipple discharge was developed using Logistic regression analysis.A decision tree was then constructed,and the predictive performance of the model was assessed based on the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve(AUC).Re-sults:The incidence of concurrent breast cancer among patients with pathological nipple discharge was 24.2%.Accord-ing to the results of binary Logistic regression analysis,elevated CEA and CA 153 levels in nipple discharge,as well as bloody discharge,emerged as independent risk factors for the development of breast cancer in such patients(P<0.05).Based on these findings,a decision tree model was constructed to predict the risk of concurrent breast cancer in patients with pathological nipple discharge.The validation results showed that the Logistic regression model had an AUC value of 0.800,while the decision tree model achieved an AUC value of 0.889.Conclusions:The decision tree model,built upon the identified influencing factors,exhibits strong predictive power for the risk of developing concurrent breast can-cer in patients with pathological nipple discharge,thus facilitating more precise preoperative diagnoses by clinicians for these patients.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of blinatumomab in adult patients with relapsed/refractory(R/R)or measurable residual disease(MRD)positive B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia(B-ALL)in the real world.Methods:The clinical data of 30 B-ALL patients received at least 1 course of blinatumomab therapy in the Chinese PLA General Hospital from January 1st,2021 to December 31st,2023 were retrospectively analyzed,including pre-treatment baseline clinical feature,post-treatment complete response(CR),CR with partial hematologic recovery(CRh),CR with incomplete hematologic recovery(CRi),complete MRD response rate,MRD response rate(MRD＜10-4),overall survival(OS),and disease-free survival(DFS),as well as drug-related adverse reactions.Results:Among 5 patients who were not assessed 4 were MRD negative and 1 did not receive bone marrow biopsy.In the R/R B-ALL group(13 cases),11 patients achieved CR/CRh/CRi and 10 patients achieved complete MRD response.In MRD+group(12 cases),9 patients achieved overall MRD response and 7 patients achieved complete MRD response.The median follow-up time was 8.4(95％CI:6.3-10.4)months.The median OS was 15.5(95％CI:0.7-30.3)months in the R/R group,while not reached in the MRD+group.The median DFS of the two groups were not reached.Drug-related adverse reactions occurred in 22 patients,and pyrexia was the most common(13 cases).Grade ≥3 adverse reactions occurred in 15 patients,and neutropenia was the most common(9 cases).Cytokine release syndrome occurred in 6 patients,including 5 cases with grade 1 and 1 case with grade 3.No patients interrupted therapy or died due to drug-related adverse reactions.Conclusion:Blinatumomab is effective in the treatment of R/R or continuous MRD+B-ALL with acceptable adverse reactions.

Osteoporosis is an important cause of internal fixation loosening after spinal surgery.Cement-augmented pedicle screw instru-mentation(CAPSI)technique is the most widely used technique in clinical practice to improve the stability of pedicle screw,mainly applied in osteoporosis and revision surgery,which included conventional solid pedicles crews and fenestrated/cannulated pedicle screws technique.CAPSI technique may cause cement leakage and pulmonary embolism,and there is no consensus on its indications or technical points.Therefore,this article reviews the research progress of CAPSI,in order to provide relevant reference for clinical practice.

Hemophilia,which includes different types such as hemophilia A and hemophilia B,is a hemorrhagic disorder with inherited blood clotting abnormalities.The main clinical manifestations are spontaneous bleeding of joints,muscles and deep tissues or repeated bleeding after trauma.It often starts at an early age and affects the whole life.The treatment of hemophilia patients is still dominated by alternative therapy,supplementing the corresponding clotting factors.In addition,non-factor drug therapy is adopted such as bispecific monoclonal antibodies and gene therapy.In recent years,the research on the pathogenesis of hemophilia A has made great progress,which is no longer limited to the mutation of the coding sequence of coagulation factor gene as the only cause of hemophilia.Many studies have found that abnormal expression of non-coding RNA(ncRNA)is involved in the regulation of coagulation factor Ⅷ(FⅧ)mRNA and protein,which not only explains why patients with normal FⅧ genotypes still present with hemophilia A,but also provides new directions for understanding the pathogenesis of other types of hemophilia.This paper reviews the research progress on the regulatory mechanism of ncRNA in hemophilia A.

Objective To investigate the role of magnesium ion(Mg2+)in cisplatin-induced acute kidney injury(Cis-AKI)in kidney organoids and HK-2 cells,as well as the potential mechanism.Methods Initially,we utilized human-derived induced pluripotent stem cells(iPSCs)to construct kidney organoids,and then built a Cis-AKI model based on kidney organoids.HE staining was used to observe the structure of kidney organoids,and immunofluorescence staining was used to observe the localization of markers and the expression of cleaved caspase-3.qRT-PCR was conducted to detect mRNA levels of tubular and glomerular markers,as well as inflammatory factors.Subsequently,the kidney organoids were randomly divided into control group,cisplatin group(Cis group),and Mg2+pretreatment group(Cis+Mg2+group).CCK-8 and ATP content assays were employed to evaluate the cell viability of renal tubular epithelial cells.TUNEL staining was performed to detect the apoptosis of renal tubular epithelial cells.Western blot was utilized to detect the expression of apoptosis-associated proteins(Bcl-2,Bax,cleaved caspase-3)and organic cation transporter 2(OCT2).Immunofluorescence was used to detect the localization and expression of OCT2.Results On the 10th day,the tubular structure in kidney organoids was visible,with abundant expression of renal markers.Treatment with 10 μmol/L cisplatin resulted in structural damage to kidney organoids,significantly increased expression of cleaved caspase-3 and mRNA levels of inflammatory factors,and significantly decreased ATP content.Compared with the Cis group,the Cis+Mg2+group showed increased ATP content in kidney organoids,reduced number of TUNEL-positive cells,significantly decreased expression of apoptosis-associated proteins,and significantly decreased expression of OCT2.However,there was no significant improvement in HK-2 cell viability,the number of TUNEL-positive cells,or apoptosis-associated proteins in the Cis+Mg2+group,and HK-2 cells did not express OCT2.Conclusion Kidney organoid is an ideal in vitro model to study the pathogenesis and treatment of Cis-AKI.Mg2+pretreatment can significantly reduce the damage of kidney organoids induced by cisplatin,and the mechanism may be related to the downregulation of OCT2.
