Objective:This study aimed to explore the application of interaction-dependent fucosyl-biotinylation (FucoID), a chemical biology-based proximity labeling technique, in capturing tumor antigen-specific T cells and its clinical value in chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) .Methods:Flow cytometry and fluorescence microscopy were employed to evaluate the experimental parameters for FucoID in CML. Peripheral blood samples were obtained from 14 newly diagnosed CML patients in the chronic phase. These samples underwent flow cytometry-based sorting and were subsequently labeled with FucoID to facilitate the isolation of tumor cells and T cells, followed by the immunophenotypic identification of tumor antigen-specific T cells. Finally, the diagnostic and therapeutic potential of FucoID in CML was assessed.Results:Initially, the experimental parameters for FucoID in CML were established. The proportion of CD3 + T cells in patients was (8.96±6.47) %, exhibiting a marked decrease compared with that in healthy individuals at (38.89±22.62) %. The proportion of tumor-specific antigen-reactive T cells was (3.34±4.49) %, which demonstrated interpatient variability. In addition, the proportion of tumor-specific antigen-active T cells in CD4 + T cells was (3.95±1.72) %, which was generally lower than the proportion in CD8 + T cells at (5.68±2.18) %. Compared with those in tumor-specific antigen-nonreactive T cells, CCR7 -CD45RA - effector memory T cells and CCR7 -CD45RA + effector T cells were highly enriched in tumor-specific antigen-reactive T cells. Moreover, the intensity of tumor immune reactivity in patients exhibited a significant correlation with white blood cell count (WBC) and hemoglobin (HGB) levels in peripheral blood, while no such correlation was observed with other clinical baseline characteristics. Conclusion:The combination of FucoID and flow cytometry enables the rapid identification and isolation of tumor antigen-specific T cells in CML. The successful application of this method in CML and the implications of our findings suggest its potential clinical value in the field of hematologic malignancies.

Objective:To explore the effects of tibial cortex transverse transport for long-term chronic wounds after serious lower limb trauma.Methods:From January 2016 to July 2021, 11 patients with long-term chronic wounds after lower limb trauma were treated at Department of Orthopedic Surgery, 920 Hospital of Joint Logistics Support Force of PLA. They were 7 males and 4 females, aged from 19 to 57 years (average, 32.3 years). There were 7 lesions of the popliteal artery and 4 ones of the anterior and posterior tibial arteries. The wound was located at the distal leg in 5 cases and at the foot and ankle in 6 ones. The wound size ranged from 3.2 cm × 2.8 cm to 9.5 cm × 7.3 cm. An external fixator for transverse transport was installed after the cortical bone fenestration was performed on the medial tibia more than 10 cm away from the wound surface, with a fenestration area of 5.0 cm × 1.8 cm. The wound was limitedly debrided, irrigated thoroughly and bandaged. Transverse transport began on the postoperative day 7, with the wounds opened for care and dressing change. The transverse transport lasted 25 days and the external fixators were dismantled 2 months after surgery. The healing of the wounds and incisions for transverse transport was observed.Results:The 11 patients were followed up for 3 to 20 months (average, 5.6 months). The wounds healed after 35 to 277 days. By the last follow-up, all the wounds healed without recurrence. Incision infection occurred in 2 patients, whose transverse transport was continued and wounds healed after local debridement; another patient suffered from poor incision healing, which responded gradually to decreased speed of transverse transport.Conclusion:Tibial cortex transverse transport can significantly improve the local blood supply and promote granulation and healing of long-term chronic wounds after serious trauma at the lower leg, foot and ankle.

Objective To analyze the clinical manifestations of familial acute necrotizing encephalopathy (ANE)and to improve the recognition of this disease. Methods The clinical data of a 25 - month - old girl with fa-milial and recurrent ANE with evidence of mutation in the RANBP2 gene were collected and analyzed,and the gene examination of their family members was performed. Results A previously healthy girl experienced recurrent ANE epi-sodes at the ages of 8 months,18 months and 25 months,respectively. At each beginning of each episodes the patient presented with lethargy and tremor of limbs following febrile illness of 3 - 4 days,even developed coma and convulsions in the last time. Brain magnetic resonance imaging showed bilateral and high T2 signal changes in thalamus,cerebellum and hippocampus. Abnormal signals also appeared in the brainstem,claustrum,corpus scallosum and cortex(temporal, parietal and cingulate)also appeared abnormal signals. Spinal MRI showed spinal cord involvement. The girl recovered after her first episode;she could speak but could not walk steadily after the second time;after the third episode,al-though she regained consciousness from coma,she could no longer speak or walk. The patient's sister died of encephali-tis at the age of 18 months. Her paternal uncle had suffered from dysnoesia from meningitis at his 17 months of age. The patient and her grandmother,father,uncle and one of her aunts harbored a mutation(c. 1754C ﹥ T)in RANBP2 gene. Conclusions Familial ANE has typical clinical manifestations and characteristic MRI findings. The patient with recur-rent history,especially with positive family history,should have the mutation in RANBP2 gene detected earlier in order to clarify the diagnosis of ANE.
