Objective·To Investigate the effects of salidroside(SAL)on the immune response of macrophages infected with BCG.Methods·RAW264.7 mouse macrophages were infected with BCG,and the experiments were divided into blank control(BCG),salidroside(SAL+BCG),isoniazid(INH+BCG),and salidroside+isoniazid(SAL+INH+BCG)groups.The effects of SAL and INH on the proliferation of RAW264.7 cells were detected by MTT colorimetric assay,and the experimental concentrations of SAL and INH were screened.After the establishment of the BCG-infected macrophage model,intracellular bacterial survival was detected by bacterial plate count and flow cytometry following salidroside pretreatment.The levels of tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),interferon-γ(IFN-γ),interleukin-6(IL-6),and interleukin-10(IL-10)in the culture supernatants were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay,and apoptosis levels were assessed by flow cytometry.Results·SAL at a concentration of 800 μmol/L and INH at 10 μmol/L were selected for subsequent experiments.Compared with the BCG group,SAL pretreatment for 36 h had the best effect,and the growth of BCG in macrophages in the administered group was inhibited.The inhibitory effect of the combined application of SAL and INH was obvious and statistically significant.Compared with the BCG group,SAL alone led to decreased secretion of TNF-α,IFN-γ,IL-6,and IL-10,although the differences were not statistically significant.However,the combination of SAL and INH caused a significant decrease in the levels of TNF-α,IL-6 and IL-10 in the supernatants of the cells(all P<0.05).Compared with the BCG group,in the early stage of the infection,SAL and INH were able to significantly reduce the apoptotic levels of BCG-infected RAW264.7 cells(P=0.008,P=0.032),and the combined application of SAL and INH significantly enhanced the apoptosis levels of BCG-infected RAW264.7 cells in the late stage of infection(P=0.001).Conclusion·In BCG-infected macrophages,SAL can exhibit antimycobacterial effects on the host by enhancing macrophage immune function,suppressing intracellular bacterial survival,and concurrently mitigating the inflammatory response elicited by BCG infection.

The surgical treatment of colorectal cancer will be more and more accurate and minimally invasive under the guidance of precision medicine. At the same time, it will derive and evolve non-surgical paths, such as immune checkpoint inhibitors and immune targeted therapy for microsatellite instability high/mismatch repair deficient colorectal cancer, and wait and watch path after neoadjuvant treatment for low advanced rectal cancer. Laparoscopic minimally invasive surgery for colorectal cancer will be gradually iterated by robots, which is the only way to intelligent surgery.

Background: Galangin, commonly employed in traditional Chinese medicine for its diverse medicinal properties, exhibits potential in treating inflammatory pain. Nevertheless, its mechanism of action remains unclear. Methods: Mice were randomly divided into 4 groups for 7 days: a normal control group, a galangin-treated (25 and 50 mg/kg), and a positive control celecoxib (20 mg/kg). Analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects were evaluated using a hot plate test, acetic acid-induced writhing test, acetic acid-induced vascular permeability test, formalininduced paw licking test, and carrageenan-induced paw swelling test. The interplay between galangin, transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1), NF-κB, COX-2, and TNF-α proteins was evaluated via molecular docking. COX- 2, PGE2, IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α levels in serum were measured using ELISA after capsaicin administration (200 nmol/L). TRPV1 expression in the dorsal root ganglion was analyzed by Western blot. The quantities of substance P (SP) and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) were assessed using qPCR. Results: Galangin reduced hot plate-induced licking latency, acetic acid-induced contortions, carrageenantriggered foot inflammation, and capillary permeability in mice. It exhibited favorable affinity towards TRPV1, NF- κB, COX-2, and TNF-α, resulting in decreased levels of COX-2, PGE2, IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α in serum following capsaicin stimulation. Galangin effectively suppressed the upregulation of TRPV1 protein and associated receptor neuropeptides CGRP and SP mRNA, while concurrently inhibiting the expression of NF-κB, TNF-α, COX-2, and PGE2 mRNA. Conclusions Galangin exerts its anti-inflammatory pain effects by inhibiting TRPV1 activation and regulating COX-2, NF-κB/TNF-α expression, providing evidence for the use of galangin in the management of inflammatory pain.

Objective To retrospectively analyze the efficacy and safety of low-dose antithymocyte globulin(ATG)combined with low-dose post transplantation cyclophosphamide(PTCY)in prevention of graft versus host disease(GVHD)after haploidentical transplantation.Methods Clinical data of 90 patients receiving haplotype matched transplantation in No.920 Hospital of PLA Joint Logistic Support Force from January 2022 to February 2023 were collected,and they were divided into study group(n=47)and control group(n=43)according to different GVHD prevention programs.The patients of the study group were given low-dose ATG combined with low-dose PTCY,and those of the control group received standard dose of PTCY.The implantation status,occurrence of GVHD,survival status and other indicators were analyzed between the 2 groups.Results ① Both groups of patients were successfully implanted,the median duration for neutrophil implantation(11 vs 17 d,P＜0.05)and platelet implantation(12 vs 20 d,P＜0.05)was significantly shorter in the study group than the control group.The incidence of grade Ⅱ～Ⅳ aGVHD(12.8％vs 34.9％,P＜0.05)and grade Ⅲ～Ⅳ aGVHD(6.4％ vs 20.9％,P＜0.05)was significantly lower in the study group than the control group,so was the non-recurrent mortality rate(6.4％vs 20.9％,P＜0.05)and the incidence of hemorrhagic cystitis(12.8％ vs 34.9％,P＜0.05).② By the end of the study,there were no significant differences in the incidence of mild and moderate and severe cGVHD,recurrence rate,reactivation rates of EBV and CMV,overall survival rate or progression-free survival rate between the 2 groups.Conclusion For haploidentical transplantation,low-dose ATG combined with low-dose PTCY has the advantages of lower incidence of GVHD,non-recurrent mortality,incidence of hemorrhagic cystitis and faster implantation.

Objective To preliminarily explore the efficacy of chimeric antigen receptor T cells(CAR-T)targeting CD 123 in the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia(AML)and the role of dasatinib in the treatment of CD123 targeting CAR-T induced side effects.Methods Clinical data of 1 patient with relapsed AML admitted to No.920 Hospital of PLA Joint Logistic Support Force in September,2019 were collected.The patient relapsed after previous multi-line chemotherapy and was treated with CD123 targeting CAR-T therapy.The routine blood changes of the patient after treatment were observed.Dasatinib was used when agranulocytosis occurred,40 mg orally 3 times per day,and was stopped when agranulocytosis was relieved.Changes in blood cells,CAR-T amplification,and disease control were observed.The patient was followed up for over 1 year.Results Flow cytometry for bone marrow showed that minimal residual disease negative result was observed in 30 d after infusion.The patient remained disease-free for over 1 year.After CD 123 CAR-T cells infusion,significant expansion of CAR-T cells was observed,accompanied by granulocyte deficiency and cytokine release syndrome(CRS).After using dasatinib,inhibition of CAR-T cell expansion was observed,accompanied by blood cell recovery,and CRS symptoms were alleviated.After stop of dasatinib,CAR-T cells expanded again and blood cells decreased again.Conclusion CAR-T cells targeting CD 123 have certain efficacy in the treatment for relapsed AML.Dashatinib has a blocking effect on the amplification and function of CAR-T,which can alleviate bone marrow suppression caused by CD 123 targeting CAR-T and avoid severe CRS.

Objective:To analyze the clinical phenotype and genetic characteristics for a child with Canavan disease.Methods:A child who was admitted to the Children's Hospital Affiliated to Shandong University on April 9, 2021 for inability to uphold his head for 2 months and increased muscle tone for one week was subjected to whole exome sequencing, and candidate variants were verified by Sanger sequencing.Results:Genetic testing revealed that the child has harbored compound heterozygous variants of the ASPA gene, including a paternally derived c. 556_559dupGTTC (p. L187Rfs*5) and a maternally derived c.919delA (p. S307Vfs*24). Based on the guidelines from the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics, both variants were predicted to be pathogenic (PVS1+ PM2_Supporting+ PM3). Conclusion:The c. 556_559dupGTTC (p.L187Rfs*5) and c. 919delA (p.S307Vfs*24) compound heterozygous variants of the ASPA gene probably underlay the pathogenesis of Canavan disease in this child.

(3) Postoperative examinations. Of the 281 patients, 249 cases achieved R 0 resection, 9 cases achieved R 1 resection, and there were 23 cases missing surgical margin data. The maximum tumor diameter, the number of lymph nodes harvested and positive rate of vessel carcinoma embolus were 30.0(range, 0.5-200.0)mm, 13(range, 0-70) and 27.55%(73/265) in 281 patients. There were 252 patients with circumferential margin records, showing positive in 15 cases, with a positive rate as 5.95%(15/252). The minimum distance from deep part of tumor to circumferential margin was 7.0(range, 0-150.0)mm in 252 patients. There were 85 cases with distal margin records, showing positive in 1 case, and the distance from lower margin of tumor to distal margin was 10.0(range, 0-202.0)mm. There were 273 patients with specimen integrity records, which showed intact specimen in 208 cases, fair specimen in 58 cases, poor specimen in 4 cases, unevaluated specimen in 3 cases. There were 7 cases with rectal perforation. Of the 281 patients, cases in pathological stage T0, Tis, T1, T2, T3, T4 were 14, 5, 22, 107, 113, 12, respectively, and there were 8 cases missing pathological T staging data. Of the 281 patients, cases in pathological stage N0, N1a, N1b, N1c, N2a, N2b were 176, 27, 27, 11,20, 12, respectively, and there were 8 cases missing pathological N staging data. Of the 281 patients, there were 4 cases with distant metastasis, 262 cases without distant metastasis, 5 cases not evaluated, and 10 cases missing tumor metastasis data. Of the 125 patients undergoing neoadjuvant therapy, there were 85 cases with tumor regression grade records, including 16 cases as grade 1, 27 cases as grade 2, 19 cases as grade 3, 15 cases as grade 4, 8 cases as grade 5. (4) Analysis of influencing factors for positive circumferential margin in surgical specimen of intersphincteric resection for rectal cancer. Results of univariate analysis showed that preoperative T staging on preoperative pelvic MRI, mesorectal fascia invasion, extramural venous invasion, pathological T staging, and pathological N staging were related factors for positive circumferential margin in surgical specimen of intersphincteric resection for rectal cancer ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Intersph-incteric resection with transabdominal transanal mixed approach has good specimen quality and low positive rate of surgical margin. T staging on preoperative pelvic MRI may be related to positive circumferential margin after intersphincteric resection for rectal cancer.
