BACKGROUND: Treatment with chimeric antigen receptor-T (CAR-T) cells has shown promising effectiveness in patients with relapsed/refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (R/R B-ALL), although the process of preparing for this therapy usually takes a long time. We have recently created CD19 Fast-CAR-T (F-CAR-T) cells, which can be produced within a single day. The objective of this study was to evaluate and contrast the effectiveness and safety of CD19 F-CAR-T cells with those of CD19 conventional CAR-T cells in the management of R/R B-ALL. METHODS: A multicenter, retrospective analysis of the clinical data of 44 patients with R/R B-ALL was conducted. Overall, 23 patients were administered with innovative CD19 F-CAR-T cells (F-CAR-T group), whereas 21 patients were given CD19 conventional CAR-T cells (C-CAR-T group). We compared the rates of complete remission (CR), minimal residual disease (MRD)-negative CR, leukemia-free survival (LFS), overall survival (OS), and the incidence of cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS) between the two groups. RESULTS: Compared with the C-CAR-T group, the F-CAR-T group had significantly higher CR and MRD-negative rates (95.7% and 91.3%, respectively; 71.4% and 66.7%, respectively; P = 0.036 and P = 0.044). No significant differences were observed in the 1-year or 2-year LFS or OS rates between the two groups: the 1-year and 2-year LFS for the F-CAR-T group vs.C-CAR-T group were 47.8% and 43.5% vs. 38.1% and 23.8% (P = 0.384 and P = 0.216), while the 1-year and 2-year OS rates were 65.2% and 56.5% vs. 52.4% and 47.6% (P = 0.395 and P = 0.540). Additionally, among CR patients who underwent allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) following CAR-T-cell therapy, there were no significant differences in the 1-year or 2-year LFS or OS rates: 57.1% and 50.0% vs. 47.8% and 34.8% (P = 0.506 and P = 0.356), 64.3% and 57.1% vs. 65.2% and 56.5% (P = 0.985 and P = 0.883), respectively. The incidence of CRS was greater in the F-CAR-T group (91.3%) than in the C-CAR-T group (66.7%) (P = 0.044). The incidence of ICANS was also greater in the F-CAR-T group (30.4%) than in the C-CAR-T group (9.5%) (P = 0.085), but no treatment-related deaths occurred in the two groups. CONCLUSION Compared with C-CAR-T-cell therapy, F-CAR-T-cell therapy has a superior remission rate but also leads to a tolerably increased incidence of CRS/ICANS. Further research is needed to explore the function of allo-HSCT as an intermediary therapy after CAR-T-cell therapy.

Objective:To explore the teaching reform effect of the integrated "theory virtual reality" course in Fundamentals of Nursing in vocational colleges, providing reference for related research in other courses. Methods:From January to June 2023, a convenience sampling method was used to select vocational nursing students from 11 classes of the Nursing College of Guangxi Health Vocational and Technical College in 2022 as the research objects. Through class experimental research methods, a smart simulation virtual classroom was used to carry out the integrated teaching of Fundamentals of Nursing (referred to as "theory virtual reality") in theory virtual practice. The teaching resources and pre class, in class, and post class tasks were published on the Chaoxing Learning Platform. Theory practical teaching was conducted in the simulated virtual smart classroom, and virtual training scenes were constructed using virtual simulation software. Operations evaluation, planning, implementation, and evaluation were completed by forming groups and using training related molds. In class, live broadcasting was used to display the details of student operations, and Chaoxing Learning Platform was used for teaching. The platform conducts interactive activities such as group discussions, answering questions, and testing to achieve integrated teaching of "theory virtual reality". Before and after intervention, the Chinese version of the Critical Thinking Ability Scale and Nurse Competency Scale were selected to evaluate the critical thinking ability and nursing competency of nursing students. The Simulated Teaching Design Scale (SDS) was used to evaluate student satisfaction with teaching. Results:A total of 650 nursing students were included in this study, including 89 males and 561 females, aged (18.00 ± 1.20) years old. The total score of critical thinking before intervention was (247.17 ± 33.63) points, and compared with the score after intervention (294.16 ± 33.63) points, the difference was statistically significant ( t=-10 182.33, P<0.05). The total score of nursing competence before intervention was (485.09 ± 147.68) points, and compared with the score after intervention (507.09 ± 147.68) points, the difference was statistically significant ( t=-7 154.72, P<0.05) points. The approval rate of SDS was over 87%, and the total approval rate of the five dimensions was over 95%. Conclusions:The teaching reform of the Fundamentals of Nursing course in vocational colleges based on the integration of "theory virtual reality" can help improve students′ experience and interactivity, enhance their critical thinking and nursing competence, and achieve high satisfaction.

The Omicron family of SARS-CoV-2 variants are currently driving the COVID-19 pandemic. Here we analyzed the clinical laboratory test results of 9911 Omicron BA.2.2 sublineages-infected symptomatic patients without earlier infection histories during a SARS-CoV-2 outbreak in Shanghai in spring 2022. Compared to an earlier patient cohort infected by SARS-CoV-2 prototype strains in 2020, BA.2.2 infection led to distinct fluctuations of pathophysiological markers in the peripheral blood. In particular, severe/critical cases of COVID-19 post BA.2.2 infection were associated with less pro-inflammatory macrophage activation and stronger interferon alpha response in the bronchoalveolar microenvironment. Importantly, the abnormal biomarkers were significantly subdued in individuals who had been immunized by 2 or 3 doses of SARS-CoV-2 prototype-inactivated vaccines, supporting the estimation of an overall 96.02% of protection rate against severe/critical disease in the 4854 cases in our BA.2.2 patient cohort with traceable vaccination records. Furthermore, even though age was a critical risk factor of the severity of COVID-19 post BA.2.2 infection, vaccination-elicited protection against severe/critical COVID-19 reached 90.15% in patients aged ≽ 60 years old. Together, our study delineates the pathophysiological features of Omicron BA.2.2 sublineages and demonstrates significant protection conferred by prior prototype-based inactivated vaccines.

Objective:To explore a fast method to identify and confirm suspected clonorchis sinensis infection.Methods:For suspected clonorchis sinensis infection, the clonorchiasis serum antibody was detected first with ELISA. If the antibody was positive, the fecal examination for eggs was performed. If the fecal examination was negative, duodenal drainage under gastroscopy was recommended to detect eggs from the drainage fluid.Results:A total of 126 patients met the requirements and aged 54.14±13.33 (24- 87). There were 83 cases (65.87%, 83/126) with eggs positive in the drainage fluid, of which 53 cases were male, aged 55.91±11.47 (30-86), and 30 cases female, aged 55.87± 13.85(30-87). There was no significant difference in age between males and females( P>0.05). The time of catheterization (T1) of 126 cases was 3.79 ±1.45 min. The time of drainage (T2) of 126 cases was 31.39 ±14.29 min. There was no significant difference in T1 or T2 between the positive group and the negative group( P>0.05). The detection rates of eggs were 91.57% (76 cases) in intrahepatic bile duct drainage, 81.93% (68 cases) in the bile-cyst juice and 75.90% (63 cases) in the common bile duct fluid. No serious adverse reactions occurred during or after the operation. Conclusion:The detection rate of clonorchiosis sinensis can be effectively improved by the combination of clonorchiasis serum antibody test and gastroscopy-guided duodenal drainage.
