Objective:To investigate the effects of ginkgolide B on neurological function recovery and the Wnt/β-catenin pathway after ischemic stroke in mice.Methods:Fifty-five C57/BL6 mice were selected, of which 10 mice were kept as the sham group and the remaining 45 mice were constructed as the ischemic stroke model. There were 40 mice who finally completed the modeling, and then they were randomly divided into the blank control group (GB0w), short-course administration group (GB1w), long-term administration group (GB2w), and long-term administration+antagonist group (GB2w+PRI-724), with 10 mice in each group. There was no drug intervention after MCAO in GB0w. The mice in GB1w were given ginkgolide B (10 mg/kg) 0.1 ml within 1 week after MCAO; in GB2w were given ginkgolide B (10 mg/kg) 0.1 ml within 2 weeks after MCAO; and in GB2w+PRI-724 were nasally fed ginkgolide B (10 mg/kg) 0.1 ml within 2 weeks after MCAO; and selective antagonist PRI-724 was given 3 h before administration of ginkgolide B on days 8 to 14. Neurological function scores, walking on rotor bar test scores, expression of transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1), fibroblast growth factor 4 (FGF4), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), malondialdehyde (MDA), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), superoxide dismutase (SOD), Wnt, β-catenin, and glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β) were compared among the groups.Results:Compared with the sham group, the expressions of MDA, TNF-α, IL-6, FGF4, and GSK-3β in GB0w, GB1w, GB2w, and GB2w+ PRI-724 were increased, and the expressions of GSH-Px, SOD, TGF-β1, β-catenin, and Wnt were decreased (all P < 0.001). Compared with GB0w, the expressions of SOD, GSH-Px, TGF-β1, Wnt, and β-catenin were increased in GB1w, GB2w, and GB2w+PRI-724, and the expressions of MDA, TNF-α, IL-6, FGF4, and GSK-3β were decreased (all P < 0.001). Compared with GB1w, the expressions of GSH-Px, SOD, TGF-β 1, Wnt, and β-catenin were increased in GB2w and GB2w+PRI-724, and the expressions of IL-6, TNF-α, MDA, FGF4, and GSK-3β were decreased (all P < 0.001). Compared with GB2w, the neural function score, walking on the stick test score, and expressions of IL-6, TNF-α, FGF4, MDA, and GSK-3β were increased in GB2w+PRI-724, while the expressions of GSH-Px, TGF-β1, SOD, Wnt, and β-catenin were decreased (all P < 0.001). Conclusions:Ginkgolide B can effectively improve the neurological function of ischemic stroke mice and may be related to the Wnt/β-catenin pathway.

ObjectiveTo investigate the regulatory effects of Ginkgolide B on the biological characteristics of brain T cells and their interactions with glial cells during the recovery phase of ischemic stroke in mice. Methods36 adult C57BL/6 mice were randomly assigned to three groups: sham-operated group (Sham group), control group (PBS group), and Ginkgolide B treatment group (GB group). The Sham group underwent only sham surgeries, whereas the PBS and GB groups were subjected to a middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) model using the filament method, followed by intranasal administration of an equivalent volume of either PBS or Ginkgolide B solution for 14 days post-injury. Neurological function changes were evaluated in all three groups using the rotarod test and a neurological scoring system. On day 15, single-cell sequencing was performed on fresh tissues from the brain injury areas, surrounding cortex, corpus callosum, and striatum of mice in the PBS and GB group to assess the biological characteristics of T cells and their subpopulations, and further explore the interactions and mechanisms among T cells, microglia, and oligodendrocytes. ResultsCompared with the Sham group, both PBS and GB group exhibited significant improvements in neurological scores and reduced pre-fall motor durations (P < 0.001). Compared with the PBS group, the GB group showed a downward trend in neurological scores and an upward trend in pre-fall motor durations on days 5, 10, and 15 post-ischemic brain injury, with a significant increase in pre-fall motor duration on day 15 (P < 0.05). Compared with the PBS group, the GB group exhibited a significant increase in T cell proliferative activity in the brain 15 days post brain injury (P < 0.05). The number of proliferative T cells and the levels of lipid metabolism were significantly elevated (P < 0.05), and there was a significant increase in extracellular matrix remodeling in all T cells (P < 0.05). Additionally, the interactions between T cells and both microglia and oligodendrocytes, as well as among the microglia themselves and between microglia and oligodendrocytes, were significantly enhanced in the GB group. This was primarily evident in the strengthened interactions between CD74 and macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF), as well as colony stimulating factor 1 receptor (CSF1R) and colony stimulating factor 1 (CSF1) (P < 0.05). However, the inflammatory levels of T cells showed no significant differences compared with the PBS group. ConclusionA mouse model of ischemic stroke can be successfully established by MCAO operation. Ginkgolide B may promote neurological recovery post-brain injury in mice by modulating the biological characteristics of T cells within the brain and their interactions with glial cells.

OBJECTIVE To analyze the risk factors of linezolid-induced hyponatremia, and establish nomogram model of linezolid-induced hyponatremia.METHODS The clinical information of 142 patients who received linezolid therapy were collected from Zhongshan Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University from April 2019 to May 2021 including demographic characteristics, laboratory index, concomitant disease and drug combination. They were divided into hyponatremia group and non-hyponatremia group according to whether hyponatremia occurred; univariate analysis was used to compare the differences of variables between the two groups; the independent risk factors for linezolid-induced hyponatremia were analyzed by multivariate Logistic regression. The nomogram model was set up to identify the occurrence risk of linezolid-induced hyponatremia, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and calibration curve, Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test were used to evaluate the predictive effectiveness of the model.RESULTS Of 142 patients, 30 patients suffered from hyponatremia, and 112 patients did not suffer, the incidence of adverse drug reaction was 21.1%. Univariate analysis showed that there was statistical significance in trough concentration of linezolid, baseline serum sodium, white blood cell count, total bilirubin, albumin, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, combined use of spironolactone between hyponatremia group and non-hyponatremia group (P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that trough concentration of linezolid [OR=1.128, 95%CI(1.028-1.239)], baseline serum sodium [OR=0.719, 95%CI(0.604-0.857)] and total bilirubin [OR=1.007, 95%CI(1.002, 1.011)] were independent risk factors for linezolid-induced hyponatremia (P<0.05). The area under the ROC curve (95%CI) of the nomogram model was 0.874 (0.794-0.995); the sensitivity and specificity were 88.4% and 76.7%. The average absolute error of calibration curve was 0.017. The results of Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test showed that there was no statistically significant difference between the predicted risk value and the measured value (χ 2=4.941,P=0.064). CONCLUSIONS The trough concentration of linezolid, baseline serum sodium and total bilirubin are independent risk factors for linezolid-induced hyponatremia. The established nomogram model shows well predictive performance to identify linezolid-induced hyponatremia.

OBJECTIVETo report on a case of therapy-related acute monocytic leukemia(t-AML) with t(11;17) (q23;q21)/MLL-AF17q after successful treatment for acute promyelocytic leukemia(APL) with t(15;17) (q22;q21)/PML-RARα.
METHODSA MICM method (bone marrow morphology(M), immunophenotype(I), cytogenetics(C), and molecular biology(M)) was used for the diagnosis and classification of the disease at the time of onset and transformation.
RESULTSThe patient was initially identified with typical morphology and immunophenotype of APL. She has carried t(15;17)(q22;q21) and PML-RARα fusion gene but was without t(11;17)(q23;q21) or MLL gene abnormalities. After 13 months of successful treatment, she has transformed to AML with typical morphology and immunophenotype. t(11;17)(q23;q21) and MLL-AF17q fusion gene were detected in her bone marrow sample, while no PLZF-RARα fusion gene was detected by real-time quantitative reverse-transcription PCR(RQ-PCR) and fluorescence in situ hybridization(FISH).
CONCLUSIONt-AML is a serious complication after successful treatment of APL. t(11;17)(q23;q21) is not specific for the diagnosis of variant APL and can also be detected in t-AML. RQ-PCR and FISH are essential for the diagnosis of such patients.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of ureteral stenting after transurethral resection ( TUR) of bladder tumors involving the ureteral orifice.Methods From March 2009 to November 2015,34 cases of non-muscle invasive bladder tumor including 28 male and 6 female aged from 26 to 79 years( mean 51 years) were treated by TUR.14 cases had single tumor and 20 had multiple tumors,and 29 were primary and 5 were recurrent.All the patients had tumors involving the ureteral orifice without preoperative hydronephrosis revealed by IVU or CTU examination.The tumors were resected into the deep muscle layer and the involved ureteral orifices were resected during the procedure,and after that a double-J ureteral stent was placed in 18 cases.All patients received one immediate intravesical instillation of 50mg epirubicin after TUR, and further scheme of adjuvant intravesical chemotherapy instillations were made according to the pathological diagnosis.Ureteral stents were removed 10-12 weeks after TUR,and cystoscopy and urinary tract ultrasound examinations were performed every 3 months for 1-2 years postoperatively. Results The operations were successful without complications.No serious adverse reaction occurred in immediate and further adjuvant intravesical chemotherapy.During the follow-up period of 3-71 months, no ureteral stricture, hydronephrosis or tumor recurrence in the upper urinary tract occurred in all the 18 patients with ureteral stent, and the resected ureteral orifices recovered well with normal appearance and ejecting urine.Hydronephrosis was observed in 3 of 16 patients without ureteral stent including 2 cases of nontumoral stenosis at the ureterovesical junction requiring ureteral reimplantation and 1 case of lower ureteral tumor on the involved side requiring nephroureterectomy and bladder cuff excision.No patient complained of symptoms secondary to vesicoureteral reflux or continuous unrelievable lower urinary tract symptoms.2 cases of bladder tumor recurred out of the resected area.Conclusions Ureteral stenting after TUR of bladder tumors involving the ureteral orifice can prevent stricture at the ureterovesical junction without increasing the risk of tumor cell seeding along the upper urinary tract.The existence of a double-J ureteral stent does not increase complications of adjuvant intravesical chemotherapy, and also won't cause intolerable lower urinary tract symptoms.

Objective:To investigate the methods and complications of ultrasound-guided percutaneous nephrostomy (PCN) for treat-ing cancer-related hydronephrosis. Methods:From June 2003 to December 2015, 289 patients (342 kidneys) with cancer-related hy-dronephrosis were treated by ultrasound-guided PCN in Fujian Provincial Hospital. Among the 97 cases of renal insufficiency, 4 pa-tients were treated with hemodialysis before PCN. Except for the anterior mid calyx of nine kidneys in nine patients, the posterior mid or lower pole calyx of all other kidneys was punctured with ultrasound guidance. With the one-step PCN technique, 8F pigtail nephros-tomy tubes were placed into six kidneys in six patients;with the Seldinger PCN technique, 14F balloon and Malecot catheters were placed into 25 kidneys in 25 patients and 311 kidneys in 258 patients, respectively. Results:No severe bleeding and injury in the intes-tine, liver, spleen, pleura, or lung occurred. Two pigtail tubes were blocked one week after PCN. Seven balloon catheters failed to drain well because of the tip and balloon of the catheters located in the proximal part of the dilated ureters. Four balloons slipped out of the collection system of the kidney because of the auto-deflation of three balloons and one case of meager renal parenchyma failing to hold the balloon after a severe hydronephrosis was emptied. All, except 1, Malecot catheter drained well, and 8/9 PCNs through anteri-or mid calyx were successful. Serum creatinine levels were significantly decreased in all the 97 patients with renal insufficiency, of which 81 cases returned to normal, and no one needed persistent hemodialysis. Conclusion:Ultrasound-guided PCN is safe and effec-tive for treating cancer-related hydronephrosis. For appropriately selected patients, puncturing the anterior mid calyx may be an op-tion without additional complications. One-step pigtail nephrostomy tubes are recommended for patients with poor systemic condi-tions. For patients with long life expectancy or suspected complicated urinary infection, large sized Malecot catheters should be consid-ered.
