Objective:
To explore the correlation between the expression levels of endoplasmic reticulum stress(ERS) and trophoblast apoptosis-related markers and severe preeclampsia(SPE) in placental tissues of pregnant women with early-and late-onset SPE and normal pregnancy.
Methods:
Placental tissues from 20 early and late haired severe preeclamptic singleton pregnant women who attended the Hospital were collected(early-onset group, late-onset group), and 20 cases pregnant women of normal blood pressure and no other pregnancy complications who delivered in our hospital during the same period were selected as the normal group. Transmission electron microscopy was used to observe the ultrastructure of the endoplasmic reticulum of trophoblast cells in placental tissues. Protein blotting assay was used to detect the expression levels of endoplasmic reticulum stress-related proteins, including Glucose-regulated protein 78(GRP78), C/EBP homologous protein(CHOP), Phosphorylated eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2α(p-eIF2α) and Phosphatidylinositol-requiring enzyme 1(p-IRE1)α. Immunohistochemistry assay was used to detect the expression of proliferating cell nuclear antigen(Ki67), a proliferation marker, in placental tissues, and TUNEL staining was used to detect placental tissue trophoblast apoptosis.
Results:
The endoplasmic reticulum of trophoblast cells in the placental tissues of the normal pregnant women group was normal in volume, with no dilatation or swelling. In contrast, the endoplasmic reticulum of placental tissues in the severe preeclampsia group showed obvious edema and significant dilatation, and the dilatation was more obvious in the early-onset group than in the late-onset group. The expression level of endoplasmic reticulum stress-related proteins GRP78(P<0.001,P<0.05) and CHOP(P<0.01,P<0.001), the phosphorylation levels of eIF2α(P<0.000 1,P<0.01) and IRE1α(P<0.000 1,P<0.001) increased in placental tissues of both early-onset and late-onset groups compared to those of the normal group. The p-eIF2α/eIF2α(P<0.001) to p-IRE1α/IRE1α ratio(P<0.05) and GRP78(P<0.01) protein expression levels were significantly higher in the early-onset group than in the late-onset group. Compared with the normal group, the number of Ki67-positive cells per field of view was significantly reduced in the early-onset and late-onset groups(P<0.000 1,P<0.05), and the number of Ki67-positive cells was significantly lower in the early-onset group than in the late-onset group(P<0.01). There were more positive apoptotic cells per field of view in the placental tissues of the early-onset group, and the apoptosis rate of trophoblast cells was significantly higher than that in the other two groups(P<0.001,P<0.01).
Conclusion
Increased trophoblast apoptosis and suppressed proliferation in placental tissues of patients with severe preeclampsia may be associated with endoplasmic reticulum stress overactivation, and the activation level is higher in placental tissues of early-onset severe preeclampsia than that of late-onset group.

Objective:To improve the understanding of Takayasu′s arteritis (TA) and its diagnosis and treatment by analyzing and summarizing the clinical characteristics of TA in children at different ages.Methods:Clinical and follow-up data of 41 children with TA admitted in Children′s Hospital, Capital Institute of Pediatrics between January 2010 and May 2020 were retrospectively analyzed.Based on the cut-off age of 3 years, children with TA were divided into older group and younger group.Clinical characteristics, involvement of the coronary artery, blood pressure control and growth restriction between 2 groups were analyzed.Counting data were expressed as percentage and case, and compared by the Chi- square test. Results:Among the 17 children with TA in younger group, there were 8 males and 9 females.There were 6 males and 18 females in older group.The general type was most common in younger group, with 10 cases (58.8%). In older group, thoracic and abdominal aortic type was the most common, with 13 cases (54.2%). The most common clinical manifestation in younger group was fever, with 13 cases (76.5%). In older group, 19 patients (79.2%) had hypertension.Lower hemoglobin (Hb) was detected in younger group.Leukocyte count, C-reactive protein (CRP), and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) increased in all patients (100.0%). In older group, leukocyte count increased in 6 cases (25.0%), ESR increased in 13 cases (54.2%), and CRP increased in 11 cases (45.8%). The coronary artery and its branches (anterior descending branch and circumvolute branch) were the mostly affected in younger group, with 16 cases (94.1%). The subclavian artery was the most commonly involved in older group (15 cases, 62.5%). All TA children in younger group were in the active stage.Among them, 8 cases were treated with biological agents alone, 3 cases were treated with glucocorticoid alone, 5 cases were treated with the combination of glucocorticoid and biological agents, and 1 case was treated with glucocorticoid first, and then transferred to biological agents due to the poor effect.In older group, there were 18 active-stage patients (75.0%), and 2 refused treatment.Sixteen active patients and 6 inactive patients were treated with glucocorticoid, involving 19 cases treated with glucocorticoid combined with Cyclophosphamide, and 3 cases treated with glucocorticoid combined with biologics.There were 16 cases of coronary artery involvement in younger group and only 1 case in older group ( P<0.01). In younger group, 9 patients had growth restriction, while none was detected in older group ( P<0.01). The blood pressure of younger group was all controlled, which was not satisfactorily controlled in 16 cases of older age ( P<0.01). The incidence of general type and active stage in younger group was higher than that of older group without significant difference ( P>0.05). Conclusions:The clinical characteristics of TA vary at different ages.TA progresses more rapidly in younger children, which are more prone to the involvement of extensive vessels, the coronary arteries and other vessels, and the effects of drugs on growth and development should be well concerned.Older TA patients can be alleviated into the inactive phase by themselves, which is mainly characterized as the involvement of large vessels and hypertension sequelae.

Objective:
To investigate the safety and efficacy of allogeneic CAR-T cells in the treatment of relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) .
Methods:
CAR-T cells were prepared from peripheral blood lymphocytes of HLA mismatch healthy donors. Median age was 55 (48-60) . Allogeneic cells were derived from 3 HLA haploidentical donors and 1 HLA completely mismatch unrelated donor. Four patients with RRMM were conditioned with FC regimen followed by CAR-T cell transfusion. They were infused into CART-19 (1×107/kg on day 0) and (4.0-6.8) ×107/kg CART-BCMA cells as split-dose infusions (40% on day 1 and 60% on day 2) . The adverse reactions and clinical efficacy were observed during follow-up after infusion, and the amplification and duration of CAR-T cells in vivo were monitored by PCR technique.
Results:
CAR-T cells were successfully infused in 3 of the 4 RRMM patients according to the study plan, and the infusion in one patient was delayed by 1 day due to high fever and elevated creatinine levels on day 3. The side effects included hematological and non-hematological toxicity, grade 3 hematological toxicity in 2 patients, grade 3 CRS in 1 one, grade 1 CRES in 1 one, prolonged APTT in 3 ones, tumor lysis syndrome in 1 one, mixed chimerism detected STR and clinical GVHD manifestation in 1 one. According to the efficacy criterias of IMWG, 2 patients acquired PR, 1 MR, and 1 SD respectively. Progression-free survival was 4 (3-5) weeks and overall survival was 63 (3-81) weeks. CAR T cells were amplified 2.2 (2-14) times in the patients with a median survival time of 10 (8-36) days.
Conclusions
Small sample studies suggested that GVHD may be present in the treatment of RRMM with allogeneic CAR-T cells. There were early clinical transient events after transfusion. Low amplification and short duration of CAR-T cells in vivo may be the main factors affecting the efficacy.

BACKGROUND:It remains controversial in term of therapeutic efficacy of self-fixating mesh and sutured mesh in inguinal hernia repair. OBJECTIVE:To compare the therapeutic effects of self-fixating mesh and sutured mesh in open inguinal hernia repair with Meta-analysis. METHODS:Comprehensive electronic search strategies were developed using the folowing electronic databases: Cochrane library, PubMed, EMBASE, Medline, Ovid, CNKI, Wanfang and FMJS. The Literature published before December 2014 was searched. Perspective randomized controled trials about comparing self-fixating mesh and sutured mesh in open inguinal hernia repair were included. A data-extraction sheet was developed based on the preset standards. The data from eligible studies were pooled through Meta-analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Nine trials with a total of 2 100 inguinal hernia patients met the inclusion criteria, including 1 033 cases of self-fixing mesh and 1 067 cases of sutured mesh. The Meta-analysis showed that no significant differences were found between the two groups in the recurrence rate, seroma, hematoma, wound infection, pain, foreign body sensations (P > 0.05), but the duration of operation was less in the self-fixing mesh group than the sutured mesh group (P < 0.05). According to limited evidence, there are some findings as folows: self-fixating mesh is equivalent to sutured mesh in the therapeutic effects on open inguinal hernia repair. Because of the limits of samples and literature quality, more large-sample and high-quality trials are required to make a definite clinical evidence to use self-fixating mesh for groin hernia repair.
