Objective To explore the mechanism of apoptosis induced by diacetyl hexamethylene diamine(CAHB)in adult acute lymphoblastic leukemia Jurkat cells,and to provide theoretical basis for the clinical application of CAHB.Methods Annexin V+/PI-cell rate of Jurkat cells after CAHB induction was analyzed by flow cytometry.The Annexin V+/PI-cell rate was observed after treatment with caspase-9 inhibitor Z-LEHD-FMK.The expressions of apoptosis-related proteins caspase-8,caspase-9 and caspase-3 were observed by Western blotting.Results After CAHB induction,Jurkat cells were reduced in size,cell membrane crinkling,chromatin thickening,nuclear pyknosis or fragmentation,etc.Typical apoptotic bodies could be seen.CAHB induced Jurkat cell apoptosis by activating caspase-9 and caspase-3 in a dose-effect and time-dependent manner.Caspase-9 inhibitors could inhibit apoptosis induction of CAHB to a certain extent.Conclusion CAHB induced Jurkat cell apoptosis was related to caspase-9 and caspase-3 activation.

Objective:To investigate the immunophenotypic and molecular biological characteristics of patients with elevated serum alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) and enteroblastic differentiated gastric adenocarcinoma (GAED).Methods:The clinicopathological data of 13 patients with elevated serum AFP and GAED admitted to Shanxi Cancer Hospital from 2018 to 2020 were collected. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) and next-generation sequencing (NGS) were used to analyze the immune markers and molecular biological characteristics of the pathological tissues of the patients. Kaplan-Meier method and log rank test were used for survival analysis.Results:Among the 13 patients with GAED, 12 were male and 1 was female, aged 41-70 years, with a median age of 64 years. The lesions were mainly located in the gastric antrum (5 cases) and gastric body (4 cases). IHC results showed that the tumor embryonic protein (AFP, SALL4, GPC3), intestinal epithelial differentiation protein (CDX-2, CD10), and some original intestinal epithelial phenotype markers (OCT3/4, Claudin6) were expressed in the tumor tissues. Combined application of multiple markers can reduce the rate of missed diagnosis. Among the 13 patients, 12 had at least one mutation (1 mutation: 1 case, 2-5 mutations: 3 cases, 6-15 mutations: 8 cases), and 1 case was not detected. The gene with the highest mutation frequency was TP53 (10 cases), and other mutant genes included EPHB1 (3 cases), ATRX (2 cases), EPHA5 (2 cases), GATA3 (2 cases), LRP1B (2 cases) and MAP2K4 (2 cases) were also detected. Three of the 13 patients had structural variations, which were C14orf177- GNAS, AIM1- FGFR3, and EPHA6- ROS1 gene rearrangements. All 13 patients had copy number variation, and 11 patients had copy number variation of more than 2 genes. The common amplification genes were IRS2 (5 cases), PTEN (5 cases), GNAS (4 cases), CCNE1 (3 cases), CEBPA (3 cases), PCK1 (3 cases) and ERBB2 (2 cases). The common deletion genes were SOX2 (5 cases) and MYC (5 cases). Among the 13 patients, 4 died, and 2 of the dead patients had liver metastasis. There were 4 patients with disease-free survival and 5 patients with disease progression, including 3 cases of abdominal metastasis and 2 cases of liver metastasis. The 3-year survival rate of patients was 65.9 %, and the 3-year progression-free survival rate was 30.7 %. Gene LRP1B point mutation was associated with poor prognosis ( P＜0.001). There was no significant improvement in the prognosis of patients treated with immunotherapy compared with those treated with chemotherapy alone ( P=0.595), but the prognosis of patients treated with postoperative chemotherapy or postoperative chemotherapy plus immunotherapy was better than that of patients treated with surgery alone ( P＜0.05). Conclusions:Elevated serum AFP with GAED is a highly invasive tumor with unique molecular characteristics, often accompanied by multiple molecular events. TP53 mutation is the most common type of gene mutation. In addition, some cases are accompanied by HER2 amplification and gene rearrangement.

Objective:To explore the expression levels and significance of programmed death factor 1 (PD-1)/programmed death factor ligand 1 (PDL-1) in T cells, regulatory T cells (Tregs), and regulatory B cells (Bregs) in patients with unexplained recurrent spontaneous abortion (URSA).Methods:Forty-two URSA patients (as patient group), 34 healthy pregnant women (as normal pregnancy group) and 30 unpregnant healthy examination patients (as control group) were collected for retrospective analysis,all study subjects were from patients who were treated in Taizhou Hospital affiliated to Wenzhou Medical University from February 2020 to February 2022. Flow cytometry was used to detect the expression level of PD-1/PDL-1 in Treg cells, Breg cells and [T cells, B cells and natural killer cells (TBNK)] lymphocyte subsets, as well as the expression level of serum Th1 (IFN-γ, TNF-α)/Th2 (IL-4, IL-6, IL-10)/Th17 (IL-17) cytokine expression. The patients were treated with lymphocyte immunotherapy, the changes of PD-1/PDL-1 levels were detected at the end of treatment, and the pregnancy outcome was recorded during follow-up. Comparisons between multiple groups were performed by ANOVA, comparisons before and after treatment in URSA patients were performed by paired T-test, and correlation of each test index by bivariate correlation analysis.Results:The expression levels of PD-1/PDL-1 in Treg, Breg cells and T lymphocyte subsets in peripheral blood of patients with URSA was significantly lower than that of healthy pregnant women(all P<0.01). The expression level of PD-1/PDL-1 in CD4+T cells was negatively correlated with the expression of serum Th1 cytokines Interferon gamma (IFN-γ) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) (The r values were -0.44, -0.85, -0.33, and -0.94, respectively, all P<0.01). The expression level of PD-1/PDL-1 in CD4+T cells was positively correlated with the expression of serum Th2 cytokines interleukin 4(IL-4), interleukin 6(IL-6) and interleukin 10(IL-10)(The r values were 0.55, 0.47, 0.41, 0.33, 0.46, and 0.69, respectively,all P<0.01). The proportion of Breg cells and Treg cells were positively correlated with the level of serum IL-10 expression(The r values were 0.97, and 0.95 respectively, all P<0.01). The proportion of Treg cells was negatively correlated with the expression of IL-17( r=?0.95, P<0.01). The expression of PD-1/PDL-1 in Breg cells and Treg cells was positively correlated with the expression of serum IL-10(The r values were 0.95, 0.36, 0.96, and 0.95, respectively, all P<0.01). There was a negative correlation between serum IL-10 expression level and IL-17 expression level( r=?0.58, P<0.01). After URSA treatment, pregnancy was successful in 23 cases and failed in 19 cases. The expression of PD-1/PD-L1 on CD4, CD8, Tregs cells and Bregs cells in USRA treatment group was significantly higher than that before treatment( P<0.01), but there was no significant change in treatment failure group( P>0.05). Conclusion:The low expression of PD-1/PD-L1 in Treg cells, Breg cells and T cell subsets in peripheral blood of patients with URSA results in the immune imbalance of Th1/Th2 and Tregs/Th17, and the damage of maternal-fetal immune tolerance leads to pregnancy failure, which may be a potential therapeutic target.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of total laparoscopic surgery vs. open surgery for hilar cholangiocarcinoma. Methods:The clinical data of 45 patients undergoing laparoscopic radical resection of hilar cholangiocarcinoma and 42 patients by open surgery from Mar 2017 to Mar 2021 were retrospectively analyzed.Results:There was no significant difference in demographics, Bismuth classification and excision extension between the two groups (all P>0.05). The laparoscopic surgery used longer time ( t=-1.366, P<0.05). The intraoperative blood loss, number of lymph node dissection and postoperative hospital stay favored laparoscopic method( t=0.043, t=0.026, t=-1.852, P<0.05). R 0 radical resection rate，postoperative complications were also in favor of laparoscopic surgery ( χ2=3.216, χ2=2.566, all P<0.05). There was no significant difference in postoperative pathology and in hospital expenses (all P>0.05). The 1- and 3-year survival rate of the laparoscopic group was superior (all P<0.05). Conclusions:In spite of longer operational time，patients in laparoscopic hilar cholangiocarcinoma radical resection group have shorter postoperative in hospital stay and longer postoperative survival time.

Objective:To analyze the distribution of pathogenic bacteria in bile culture in patients with common bile duct stones and biliary tract infections, in order to guide clinical optimization of antibiotics application.Methods:From March 30, 2017 to December 31, 2021, at Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University, 753 patients with common bile duct stones and biliary tract infections and received endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography were selected. Bile samples were obtained for bacterial culture, strain type identification and drug sensitivity test in order to analyze bile pathogenic bacteria distribution, change trend and drug resistance. Chi-square test was used for statistical analysis.Results:From 2017 to 2021, the total positive rate of bile culture in 753 patients with choledocholithiasis complicated with biliary tract infection was 90.17% (679/753). From 2017 to 2021, the positive rates of bile culture were 82.05% (64/78), 88.81% (119/134), 88.03% (125/142), 93.87% (199/212), and 91.98% (172/187), respectively, and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=10.78, P=0.029). The positive rate of bile culture in 2017 was lower than those in 2020 and 2021, and the differences were statistically significant ( χ2=9.43 and 5.57, P=0.002 and 0.018). There were no significant differences in the positive rates of bile culture among the other years (all P>0.05). A total of 1 033 pathogenic bacteria were detected in the 679 bile specimens with positive bile culture results. Among which the total proportion of Gram-negative bacilli was 57.02% (589/1 033), and from 2017 to 2021 the proportions were 66.38% (77/116), 66.47% (111/167), 59.43% (104/175), 54.75% (173/316), and 47.88% (124/259), respectively. The total proportion of Gram-positive cocci was 41.05% (424/1 033), and from 2017 to 2021 the proportions were 31.90% (37/116), 31.74% (53/167), 38.86% (68/175), 44.30% (140/316), and 48.65% (126/259), respectively. The total proportion of fungus was 1.94% (20/1 033), and from 2017 to 2021 the proportions were 1.72% (2/116), 1.80% (3/167), 1.71% (3/175), 0.95% (3/316), and 3.47% (9/259), respectively. From 2017 to 2021, the proportion of Gram-negative bacilli gradually decreased, while the proportion of Gram-positive cocci gradually increased, and the differences were statistically significant ( χ2=20.14 and 17.91, P<0.001 and =0.001). From 2017 to 2021, the change in the proportion of fungus was not statistically significant ( P>0.05). The main Gram-negative bacilli in the bile culture were Escherichia coli (31.36%, 324/1 033) and Klebsiella pneumoniae (12.68%, 131/1 033); the main Gram-positive cocci were Enterococcus faecalis (14.04%, 145/1 033) and Streptococcus salivarius (4.36%, 45/1 033). From 2017 to 2021, the proportions of Escherichia coli were 39.66% (46/116), 38.92% (65/167), 33.14% (58/175), 28.48% (90/316), and 25.10% (65/259), respectively, with gradual decrease and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=14.34, P=0.006). From 2017 to 2021 the detection rates of extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) in Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae were 30.43% (14/46), 26.15% (17/65), 29.31% (17/58), 38.89% (35/90), 40.00% (26/65), and 4/15, 20.00% (5/25), 20% (5/25), 24.32% (9/37), and 31.03% (9/29), and there were no significant differences in the detection rates of ESBL between different years (both P>0.05). Conclusions:From 2017 to 2021, the positive rate of bile culture in patients with choledocholithiasis complicated with biliary tract infection showed an overall increasing trend. Gram-negative bacilli were still dominated in bile pathogenic bacteria, while the proportion of Gram-positive cocci remarkably increased, and the bile bacterial spectrum significantly changed. Clinicians should adjust the antibiotic dosing regimens according to the variation of bacterial spectrum and drug resistance.

Objective:To evaluate the value of preoperative peripheral blood neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and blood platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and immune indexes in the evaluation of the prognosis of cervical cancer patients.Methods:The clinical data of 283 patients with cervical cancer who underwent radical surgery in Shanxi Province Cancer Hospital from May 2017 to September 2018 were retrospectively analyzed, and 100 healthy people who underwent physical examination during the same period were collected as the healthy control group. Test results of blood cells and immune cells expressions of all subjects were collected. Peripheral blood NLR and PLR of cervical cancer patients, people in the healthy control group and cervical cancer patients with different pathological characteristics were compared. Kaplan-Meier method was used to make survival analysis and Cox regression risk model was used to analyze the factors influencing the prognosis of patients with cervical cancer.Results:The preoperative peripheral blood NLR and PLR in patients with cervical cancer was higher than that of the healthy control group (NLR: 2.53±1.35 vs. 2.00±1.21, t = 5.35, P < 0.001; PLR: 163±57 vs.144±38, t = 4.71, P = 0.006). Pathological results showed that there were no statistically significant differences in NLR and PLR in peripheral blood of cervical cancer patients with different pathological types, tumor diameter, vascular invasion, and nerve invasion (all P > 0.05), while there were statistically significant differences in NLR and PLR in peripheral blood of cervical cancer patients with different clinical staging and muscle wall invasion (all P < 0.05). When the proportions of the expression levels of preoperative CD3 positive cells, CD4 positive cells, CD8 positive cells, CD19 positive cells, CD56 positive cells, and CD127 positive cells were 60%-85%, 30%-40%, < 25%, 8%-15%, 15%-25% and < 5%, respectively, the overall survival of cervical cancer patients was the best. Univariate analysis showed that pathological type, clinical staging, vascular invasion, preoperative NLR, preoperative PLR,CD3 positive cells, CD4 positive cells, CD8 positive cells, CD19 positive cells, CD56 positive cells and CD127 positive cells were influencing factors of the overall survival of cervical cancer patients (all P < 0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that clinical staging, vascular invasion, preoperative NLR, preoperative PLR, and preoperative CD4 positive cells were independent influencing factors for the overall survival of cervical cancer patients (all P < 0.05). Conclusions:Preoperative high NLR and PLR in peripheral blood have a certain impact on the clinicopathological characteristics and poor prognosis of cervical cancer patients. When the immune cells in peripheral blood are in dynamic balance, the prognosis of cervical cancer patients is the best.

Objective To investigate the risk factors and clinical characteristics of gastric inflammatory fibroid polyp(GIFP)for gastrointestinal hemorrhage.Methods 66 patients(68 lesions in total)with GIFP diagnosed by endoscopic or surgical resection from January 1,2013 to September 30,2022 were collected.According to the presence or absence of gastrointestinal hemorrhage,the patients were divided into bleeding group(n = 16)and non-bleeding group(n = 50).Collect clinical data on gender,age,clinical manifestations,lesion location and size,endoscopic characteristics,Helicobacter pylori infection,surgical methods and pathological results of each group of patients.Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analysis were used to analyze the risk factors of endoscopic characteristics of GIFP for gastrointestinal hemorrhage,and summarize the clinical characteristics of GIFP with gastrointestinal hemorrhage,then calculate the rate of correct diagnosis.Results The age of the bleeding group was significantly younger than that of the non-bleeding group,and the lesion size was significantly larger than that of the non-bleeding group,with statistically significant differences(P＜0.05).The incidences of endoscopic neoplasm-like elevation of lesions,surface with erosion or ulceration,accompanied by ballvalve syndrome and ultrasonic gastroscopy with blood flow signals in the bleeding group were significantly higher than those in the non-bleeding group,and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05),but there were no statistical differences in other indicators between the two groups(P＞0.05).In order to further investigate the relationship between endoscopic characteristics and gastrointestinal hemorrhage,multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that neoplasm-like elevation,submucosal eminence,ulcer or erosion on the surface and ball valve syndrome were risk factors for gastrointestinal hemorrhage in GIFP(O(R)＞1,P＜0.05).The overall rate of GIFP correct diagnosis before surgery was 27.94%.The rate of diagnosis in patients echoendoscope before surgery was 38.78%,it was significantly higher than that without undergoing echoendoscope(χ2 = 20.82,P = 0.000).Conclusion The shape of the lesion,presence of ulcers or erosion on the surface,and presence of ball valve syndrome are risk factors for gastrointestinal hemorrhage.Preoperative endoscopic ultrasonography can improve the accuracy of preoperative diagnosis.When there is a risk of gastrointestinal hemorrhage in GIFP,early endoscopic diagnosis and therapeutic resection should be performed to avoid unnecessary surgical procedures,which can improve prognosis and improve patient quality of life.

As the National Health Commission changes the management of novel corona virus infection, the situation and preventive policies for controlling the epidemic have also entered a new stage in China. Perioperative care strategies for orthopedic trauma such as designated isolation and nucleic acid test screening have also been adjusted in the new stage. Based on the perioperative work experiences in the new stage of epidemic from the frontline anti-epidemic staff of orthopedics in domestic hospitals and combined with the literature and relevant evidence-based medical data in perioperative care of orthopedic trauma patients under the current anti-epidemic policies at home and abroad, Chinese Orthopedic Association and Chinese Society of Traumatology organized relevant experts to formulate the Guideline for clinical perioperative care of orthopedic trauma patients in the new stage of novel corona virus infection ( version 2023). The guideline summarized 16 recommendations from the aspects of preoperative diagnosis and treatment, infection prevention, emergency operation and postoperative management to systematically standardize the perioperative clinical pathways, diagnosis and treatment processes of orthopedic trauma in the new stage of novel corona virus infection, so as to provide a guidance and reference for hospitals at all levels to carry out relevant work in current epidemic control policies.

Chronic refractory wound (CRW) is one of the most challengeable issues in clinic due to complex pathogenesis, long course of disease and poor prognosis. Experts need to conduct systematic summary for the diagnosis and treatment of CRW due to complex pathogenesis and poor prognosis, and standard guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of CRW should be created. The Guideline forthe diagnosis and treatment of chronic refractory wounds in orthopedic trauma patients ( version 2023) was created by the expert group organized by the Chinese Association of Orthopedic Surgeons, Chinese Orthopedic Association, Chinese Society of Traumatology, and Trauma Orthopedics and Multiple Traumatology Group of Emergency Resuscitation Committee of Chinese Medical Doctor Association after the clinical problems were chosen based on demand-driven principles and principles of evidence-based medicine. The guideline systematically elaborated CRW from aspects of the epidemiology, diagnosis, treatment, postoperative management, complication prevention and comorbidity management, and rehabilitation and health education, and 9 recommendations were finally proposed to provide a reliable clinical reference for the diagnosis and treatment of CRW.
