ObjectiveTo explore the prevalence difference between northwest dryness syndrome and blood stasis syndrome of coronary heart disease (CAD) and their correlations with major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE). MethodsThe medical records including general information and risk factors for vascular diseases (gender, age, smoking history, diabetes history, hypertension history, chronic kidney disease history and body mass index), laboratory indicators (fasting blood glucose, triglyceride, high density lipoprotein cholesterol, etc.) of 499 CAD patients in the Department of Cardiology of the Affiliated Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine of Xinjiang Medical University from November 1st, 2015 to September 30th,2020 were collected, and whether they suffered from northwest dryness syndrome or blood stasis syndrome was judged. The incidence of MACE was followed up for one year. The differences of cardiovascular risk factors between the northwest dryness syndrome and blood stasis syndrome of CAD were compared, and the correlation with MACE was analyzed. ResultsAmong the 499 CAD patients, there were 128 cases (25.65%) of simple blood stasis syndrome, 33 cases (6.61%) of simple northwest dryness syndrome, 209 cases (41.88%) of northwest dryness syndrome plus blood stasis syndrome, and 129 (25.85%) cases of not blood statis syndrom either northwest dryness syndrome. Univariate regression analysis showed that smoking history, diabetes history, fasting blood glucose abnormality, triglyceride abnormality, and high density lipoprotein cholesterol abnormality were positively correlated with northwest dryness syndrome in CAD patients (OR>1, P<0.05), while smoking history, abnormal triglyceride and abnormal high density lipoprotein cholesterol were positively correlated with blood stasis syndrome in CAD patients (OR>1, P<0.05). Multivariate regression analysis showed that the history of diabetes, abnormal triglyceride and abnormal high density lipoprotein cholesterol were positively correlated with northwest dryness syndrome of CAD (P<0.05). Smoking history, abnormal triglycerides and abnormal high density lipoprotein cholesterol were positively correlated with blood stasis syndrome (P<0.05). Association rule analysis showed that the confidence of CAD patients with northwest dryness syndrome complicated with blood stasis syndrome was 86.36%, and that of patients with blood stasis syndrome complicated with northwest dryness syndrome was 62.02%. Among the 499 patients, 96 had MACE in one year, accounting for 19.24% of the total. Logistics regression analysis showed that the correlation with incidence of MACE in CAD patients within one year from strong to weak was northwest dryness syndrome plus blood stasis syndrome [OR = 5.113, 95%CI (3.118, 8.387), P<0.001)], blood stasis syndrome[OR = 4.630, 95%CI (2.394, 8.955), P<0.001], northwest dryness syndrome [OR = 4.395, 95%CI (2.642, 7.309), P<0.001]. ConclusionBlood stasis syndrome is the main syndrome type of CAD in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. CAD patients with northwest dryness syndrome are more likely to have blood stasis syndrome, and most suffer from both northwest dryness syndrome and blood stasis syndrome simultaneously. There is the strongest correlation between northwest dryness syndrome plus blood stasis syndrome and 1-year occurrence of MACE in CAD.

Objective:To learn about the genotyping of human Brucella isolated from Sichuan Province. Methods:BCSP31-PCR and AMOS-PCR were used to identify the genus and biotype of the 66 strains isolated from confirmed human brucellosis cases in Sichuan Province from 2014 to 2020, respectively. The isolated strains were genotyped by multi-locus sequence typing (MLST)-9. The sequence type (ST) was compared trough the online MLST database. A minimum spanning tree (MST) was constructed to cluster the newly discovered and known ST using the BioNumerics software version 7.6.Results:The 66 strains isolated from human cases of brucellosis in Sichuan Province from 2014 to 2020 were Brucella, and 65 of them were Brucella melitensis while one strain was Brucella abortus. The MLST method identified three known STs (ST-8, ST-39 and ST-2) and one newly type (ST-101). Among them, ST-8 was the main ST in Sichuan Province (90.91%, 60/66), another 4 strains of Brucella melitensis were ST-39, and 1 strain of Brucella abortus was ST-2. The newly type ST-101 was isolated from Leshan City in 2019, belonging to the Brucella melitensis and closely related to the evolution of ST-8. Conclusion:Brucella melitensis is the main epidemic Brucella strain in Sichuan Province, ST-8 is predominant genotype, with a small amount of ST-39, ST-101 and ST-2.

Objective:To analyze the factors affecting the disappearance time of airway necrosis and repair time of airway scar stenosis in patients with ulceration necrosis tracheobronchial tuberculosis (TBTB Ⅱ) after standardized chemotherapy and bronchoscopic intervention.Methods:The clinical data of 222 TBTB Ⅱ patients admitted to Hunan Chest Hospital from January 2015 to December 2018 were collected, bronchoscopic interventional treatment was performed on time. The texture, blockage of lumen, granulation proliferation, airway stenosis of TBTB patients before treatment, the disappearance time of airway dead objects, scar repair time and stenosis degree after treatment were followed up. The disappearance time of airway necrosis and repair time of airway scar stenosis and its influencing factors were recorded and analyzed.Results:In 222 patients, 508 ulceration necrosis airway lesions were found under bronchoscopy, with a median of 2(1-6); 170(76.6%) cases of airway lesions had different degrees of stenosis before treatment. 79(35.6%) patients had tough necrosis, and 86(38.7%) patients had necrosis blocking the lumen; 132(59.5%) patients had granulomatosis. The disappearance time of airway necrosis after treatment was 1 to 32 weeks, and M( Q1, Q3) was 6(3, 9) weeks; the repair time of airway scar stenosis was 2 to 73 weeks, and M( Q1, Q3) was 14(10, 19) weeks; after treatment, there were 90.5%(201/222) patients with different degrees of scarring in the airways. Cox multiple analysis showed that the risk factor for the disappearance time of airway necrosis was tough tough necrosis ( HR=1.52, 95% CI: 1.10-2.10); the risk factor for the repair time of airway scar stenosis was the disappearance time of airway necrosis 6-9 weeks ( HR=2.73, 95% CI: 1.84-4.05). Conclusions:90.5% of patients with type Ⅱ TBTB developed airway scar stenosis after treatment. The median time for the disappearance of airway necrosis was 6 weeks, and the median time for the repair time of airway scar stenosis was 14 weeks. In the interventional process, attention should be paid to the removal of tough necrosis and the efficiency of necrosis removal to reduce the risk of airway scar stenosis.

Objective:To investigate the expression of programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) in rectal cancer tissues and the correlation of PD-L1 expression with clinicopathological characteristics and overall survival of patients.Methods:The clinical data of 200 newly treated rectal cancer patients in Shanxi Provincial Cancer Hospital from January 2014 to December 2015 were retrospectively analyzed. The expression of PD-L1 in rectal cancer tissues was detected by immunohistochemistry. The correlations of PD-L1 expression with gender, age, tumor T stage, lymph node metastasis, tumor differentiation, histological type, tumor TNM stage, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and overall survival of patients were analyzed.Results:The positive expression rate of PD-L1 was 24% (48/200). The positive expression rate of PD-L1 was high in patients with lymph node metastasis and high NLR (≥ 3.5) (both P < 0.05). The 5-year overall survival rate in PD-L1-positive group was 42%, and the PD-L1-negative group was 59%, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( P < 0.05). The results of multivariate analysis showed that lymph node metastasis ( HR = 3.456, 95% CI 2.148-5.556, P < 0.01), NLR ≥ 3.5 ( HR = 1.871, 95% CI 1.169-2.996, P = 0.009), and PD-L1-positive expression ( HR = 2.187, 95% CI 1.373-3.484, P = 0.001) were independent adverse influencing factors for the overall survival of rectal cancer patients. Conclusion:PD-L1 is highly expressed in rectal cancer tissues, and the positive expression of PD-L1 is associated with poor overall survival of patients.

Objective:
To investigate the molecular pathogenesis for a patient with Glanzmann thrombasthenia (GT).
Methods:
The peripheral blood of a patient with Glanzmann′s thrombasthenia was collected, and the genetic mutations were detected by gene sequencing technology. The mutant plasmids were prepared by PCR site-directed mutagenesis and transfected into CHO-K1 cells of Chinese hamster ovary to construct in vitro eukaryotic expression system. The expressions of αⅡb and β3 protein subunits in CHO-K1 cells were detected by western blot. The expression levels of αⅡb and β3 in cellular membrane and cytoplasm of CHO-K1 cells were detected by flow cytometry. The expression and distribution of αⅡb and β3 in CHO-K1 cells were observed by immunofluorescent labeling under microscope.
Results:
This patient was diagnosed with type Ⅱ GT. Gene sequencing revealed two mutations in ITGB3 gene which has not been reported in the literature. ITGB3 c.1495 T>C missense mutation resulted in replacement of cysteine no.499 by arginine (p.C499R). ITGB3 c.1728 delC code shift mutation resulted in a change in the amino acid synthesis initiated by the β3 protein subunit serine no.577 and terminated by the 92nd amino acid following these changes. The results of western blotting showed that the synthesis and expression of primary structures of αⅡb and β3 were detectable in the lysates of mutant CHO-K1 cells. The results of flow cytometry showed that no expression of β3 on the surface and intracellular of mutant CHO-K1 cells was observed. Under fluorescence microscopy no distribution of β3 protein subunit was displayed in mutant CHO-K1 cells.
Conclusion
The mutation of ITGB3 c.1728 del C or ITGB3 c.1495 T>C should be relevant to the cause of GT in this patient. The mutation of ITGB3 c.1728 del C and ITGB3 c.1495 T>C seems not to affect the formation of the primary structure of β3 protein subunit, but did affect the formation of its high-level structure.

Objective To explore the molecular pathogenesis of 3 Glanzmann's thrombasthenia pedigree by using bioinformatics software and provide evidence for in vitro experiments. Methods The genetic analysis of 3 pedigree diagnosed as Glanzmann's thrombasthenia was carried out. Clustalx-2.1 win software was used to analyze the conservatism of mutant sites in homologous sequences. Bioinformatics software such as PolyPhen-2, PROVEAN, SIFT and Mutationtaster was used to analyze the biological effect of mutation. SPDBV software constructed the molecular structure model of mutant protein and evaluated the influence of mutation on protein structure. Results The "new mutations" found in 3 Glanzmann's thrombasthenia pedigree were ITGA2B:c. 814G>C (p. Val272Leu), ITGA2B:c. 432G>A (p. Trp144Ter) and ACTN1:c. 2458A>G (p. Ile820Val). All three mutations were highly conserved among homologous species. Mutationtaster software showed that 3 new mutations were likely pathogenic. PolyPhen-2 and PROVEAN software showed ITGA2B p.Val272Leu and ACTN1 p.Ile820Val were benign and SIFT software showed that ITGA2B p. Val272Leu were likely pathogenic, while ACTN1 p. Ile820Val is benign. The result of SPDBV software showed that the Val272 of ITGA2B was transformed to Leu, neutralizing all the original hydrogen bond. The Trp144 of ITGA2B is transformed to Ter, resulting in the truncated proteins with only 113 amino acid residues. All these mutations affected the molecular structure of GPⅡb, resulting in a decrease ofGPⅡb/Ⅲa expression. When the Ile820 of ACTN1 is transformed to Val, onlyretained the hydrogen bond of Ile820 and Asp822, neutralized the rest hydrogen bond, whichaffected the molecular structure and protein function of ACTN1. Conclusion The mutations of ITGA2B:c.814G>C (p.VAL272LEU), ITGA2B:c.432G>A (p.Trp144Ter) and ACTN1:c.2458A>G (p.Ile820Val) are pathogenic.
