Objective To investigate the characteristics of a novel FANCL mutation identified in a patient with premature ovarian insufficiency(POI)and to explore its potential functional impacts in vitro.Methods A novel FANCL heterozygous mutation c.1033G>A(p.Glu345Lys)was screened in a patient with POI using whole exome sequencing(WES),which was found to be inherited from a mother who had undergone early menopause.The authenticity of the mutation was identified by Sanger sequencing and the conserved nature of the mutation site was predicted by software.Overexpressing FANCL mutant and wildtype plasmids were constructed and transiently transfected into HEK293T cell lines,and the effect of the mutation was detected by qPCR,immunofluorescence and Western blot.Results The mutation site of FANCL was located within the Ring domain of FANCL,which was highly conserved across multiple species.The mutant showed no significant change in mRNA expression level,while the protein expression level was significantly down-regulated.In vitro cellular experiments further revealed that the mutation leads to decreased expression levels by reducing protein stability.Conclusion A FANCL c.1033G>A mutation was found and it may cause disease in the POI patient due to decreased protein stability.

Objective:To construct a clinical early warning model for bladder spasm occurred after transurethral resection of the prostate(TURP)in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia(BPH)based on LASSO regression.Methods:The clinical data of 139 patients with BPH who underwent TURP treatment in Yellow River Sanmenxia Hospital from January 2022 to June 2024 were prospectively selected,and they were divided into spasm group(39 cases)and non-spasm group(100 cases)according to whether bladder spasm occurred after surgery.The characteristics of bladder spasm occurred after TURP in patients with BPH were statistically analyzed,and the general data between the two groups were compared.LASSO regression was used to screen the characteristic variables related to bladder spasm occurred after TURP,multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of bladder spasm after TURP.The prediction model of bladder spasm after TURP was constructed,and the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was drawn to evaluate the efficacy of the prediction model.Results:The incidence of bladder spasm after TURP was 28.06%.There were significant differences in age,history of diabetes,operation time,temperature of irrigating fluid,traction tension of urinary catheter,prostate volume and postoperative hospital stay between non-spasm group and spasm group(P<0.05).LASSO regression showed that operation time,age,traction tension of urinary catheter,temperature of irrigating fluid,history of diabetes were important characteristics of bladder spasm occurred after TURP.Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that old age,history of diabetes and long operation time were independent risk factors of bladder spasm occurred after TURP(P<0.05).ROC curve showed that the area under the curve(AUC)of the risk prediction model for bladder spasm occurred after TURP was 0.885(95%CI:0.752-0.921).Conclusions:Old age,history of diabetes and long operation time are independent risk factors of bladder spasm occurred after TURP,the clinical warning model based on LASSO regression has a certain value in predicting the risk for bladder spasm occurred after TURP,which helps to identify high-risk patients early.

Aim To explore the mechanism by which dioscin regulates IL-17+γδT cells in the treatment of arthritis.Methods A collagen-induced arthritis(CIA)model was established in DBA/1 mice using bovine type Ⅱ collagen.The mice were randomly divid-ed into the CIA model group,methotrexate(MTX)positive control group,and dioscin low-dose(Dioscin-L),medium-dose(Dioscin-M),and high-dose(Dios-cin-H)groups.After intervention,the therapeutic effects were evaluated using scoring methods.Joint pathological damage was analyzed by hematoxylin and eosin(HE)staining.The levels of anti-collagen-spe-cific antibodies and the pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-17 were measured by ELISA.The expressions of γδT cells and their subtypes,as well as the secretion level of IL-17,were detected by flow cytometry.Results Dioscin significantly reduced the arthritis severity score in collagen-induced arthritis(CIA)mice,alleviated joint pathological damage,inhibited the production of IL-17 by splenic lymphocytes and the levels of anti-col-lagen-specific antibodies total IgG and IgG3,and de-creased the proportion of γδT cells in the lymph nodes,splenic γδT cells,and the Vδ4+T-cell subset.The level of IL-17 produced by the Vδ4 subtype in the lymph nodes of the intervention groups was lower than that in the model group,but the difference was not sta-tistically significant.Conclusion Dioscin has signifi-cant therapeutic effect on CIA,and its mechanism may be through the inhibition of γδT cells,but it is unlikely to be related to IL-17 derived from γδT cells.

[Objective] To assess the data characteristics of quality monitoring indicators for red blood cell (RBC) preparations, so as to provide reference for continuous improvement of blood quality. [Methods] The quality inspection data of 6 types of RBC preparations from Chongqing blood center from 2019 to 2023 were summarized. For the same indicators, the numerical range of quality indicators was monitored by comparing different types of preparations with the national standard GB18469. The loss and/or damage to RBCs caused by different preparation process were compared, and the impact of different preparation processes on the quality of RBCs was discussed. [Results] The appearance and sterility test compliance rates of the six types of RBC preparations were both 100%, while the compliance rates of other items were all ≥75%. The compliance rate of hematocrit for suspended RBCs was the lowest at 75%, with a median of 0.52, which was close to the lower limit of GB18469, while the medians of hematocrit for the other types were all at the midline level of GB18469. The Hb content for different types of RBCs was significantly higher than the corresponding requirements of GB18469 (P<0.05). The hemolysis rate at the end of storage for different types of RBCs was significantly lower than the requirements of GB18469 (P<0.05). The 1 U leukoreduction process resulted in a hemoglobin content loss of about 5% and had a significant impact on the hemolysis rate at the end of storage (P<0.05). The washing process resulted in a hemoglobin content loss of <3% and had no significant impact on the hemolysis rate at the end of storage (P>0.05). The concentration process resulted in a hemoglobin content loss of <3% and had a significant impact on the hemolysis rate at the end of storage (P<0.05). [Conclusion] The impact of different processes on RBC preparations is within a controllable range and meets the requirements of GB18469. The quality monitoring data can provide a reference for clinical blood selection, effectiveness evaluation and revision of related standards.
