		                        			Objective:To observe the clinical efficacy and safety of hypomethylating agent therapy in chronic myelomonocytic leukemia(CMML).Methods:From February 2014 to June 2021,the clinical data,efficacy,survival time and safety of CMML patients diagnosed in the Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University and treated with hypomethylating agent therapy were retrospectively analyzed.Results:A total of 25 CMML patients received hypomethylating agent therapy,including 18 cases treated with decitabine(DEC)and 7 cases treated with azacytidine(AZA)as the basic treatment.Among them,20 patients responded,and 7 patients got complete remission(CR).All patients with CR were treated with DEC as the basic treatment.Five cases of CR occurred in the first 4 courses of treatment.After a median follow-up of 16.4(9.4-20.5)months,4 patients with CR progressed to acute myeloid leukemia(AML).The median overall survival(OS)time of 25 CMML patients was 17.4 months(95%CI:12.437-22.363).According to MD Anderson prognostic scoring system(MDAPS),CMML-specific prognostic scoring system(CPSS),CPSS molecular(CPSS-mol),Mayo molecular model(MMM),risk stratification of patients was performed,and the difference only between different risk stratification of MDAPS and survival time was statistically significant.Common adverse reactions of hypomethylating agent therapy in CMML patients included infection,gastrointestinal reaction,hematological toxicity,skin allergy and liver function damage.All patients'symptoms were improved after corresponding treatment.Conclusion:Hypomethylating agent therapy is effective and safe for CMML patients.CR mostly occurs in the first 4 courses of treatment,and hypomethylating agent therapy combined with low-dose chemotherapy can be used for patients who do not respond.Hypomethylating agent therapy can delay the disease,but can't prevent progression.

		                        			Objective:To explore the diagnosis and treatment of acquired hemophilia A (AHA ) based on the analysis of clinical data.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical manifestations,laboratory characteristics,treatment,and outcomes of 25 patients diagnosed with AHA who were admitted to the Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University. Results:Among all patients,11 cases had secondary factors,including 5 cases of autoimmune diseases,3 cases of pregnancy-related disease,1 case of pemphigoid,1 case of Graves'disease,and 1 case of monoclonal gammaglobulinemia of unknown significance (MGUS ).The bleeding sites include the skin,mucous membrane,muscle,joint cavity and brain tissue.Twenty-three patients were treated with prednisone combined with cyclophosphamide (CP regimen),one patient with rituximab combined with cyclophosphamide because of femoral head necrosis,and one case with rituximab monotherapy because of gastrointestinal bleeding after prednisone treatment. Among them,23 cases achieved complete remission (CR),2 cases were partial remission (PR),and 8 cases relapsed after CR.All of 10 patients including 2 cases with PR and 8 relapsed cases after CR were treated with rituximab.At last,8 patients achieved CR,and 2 patients (both were patients with recurrence after first CR)achieved PR.These two patients achieving PR were treated with low-dose rituximab combined with bortezomib (RB regimen ).One patient reached CR after 4 cycles and the other reached CR after 6 cycles of RB regimen.After CR,4 of the 10 patients treated with rituximab received maintenance therapy with rituximab monotherapy for 1.5 to 2 years,in which,none of them relapsed.Among the 6 patients who did not receive maintenance therapy,4 patients relapsed after CR,and the median time to relapse was 15 months.Eight patients treated with CP regimen developed common infections,and two patients treated with rituximab developed severe pneumonia.All 25 patients survived until the end of follow-up.Conclusion:Skin ecchymosis,mucous hemorrhage and muscle hematoma are the most common hemorrhagic manifestations in AHA,and joint hemorrhage and cerebral hemorrhage can also occur.CP regimen is the preferred option of first-line therapy for AHA.Rituximab can be used for patients with steroid contraindication or who failed to respond to the above therapy or relapsed after effective treatment,and maintenance therapy is recommended to reduce the risk of recurrence.Meanwhile,close attention should be paid to the occurrence of infection events during rituximab treatment.Rituximab in combination with bortezomib can also be used in patients with refractory or relapsing AHA.

		                        			Lower extremity deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is one of the main complications in patients with traumatic fractures, and for severe patients, the DVT can even affect arterial blood supply, resulting in insufficient limb blood supply. If the thrombus breaks off, pulmonary embolism may occur, with a high mortality. The treatment and rehabilitation strategies of thrombosis in patients with lower extremity fractures have its particularity. DVT in traumatic fractures patients has attracted extensive attention and been largely studied, and the measures for prevention and treatment of DVT are constantly developing. In recent years, a series of thrombosis prevention and treatment guidelines have been updated at home and abroad, but there are still many doubts about the prevention and treatment of DVT in patients with different traumatic fractures. Accordingly, on the basis of summarizing the latest evidence-based medical evidence at home and abroad and the clinical experience of the majority of experts, the authors summarize the clinical treatment and prevention protocols for DVT in patients with traumatic fractures, and make this consensus on the examination and assessment, treatment, prevention and preventive measures for DVT in patients with different fractures so as to provide a practicable approach suitable for China ′s national conditions and improve the prognosis and the life quality of patients.

		                        			OBJECTIVE:
		                        			To analyze the survival, prognostic factors, and prevention of relapse after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) in patients with hematological malignancies, and explore the relationship between immune reconstruction, loss of human leukocyte antigen (HLA-loss) and relapse after transplantation.
		                        		
		                        			METHODS:
		                        			From July 2012 to June 2020, 47 patients with hematological malignancies who relapsed after allo-HSCT were retrospectively analyzed, including 20 cases undergoing matched-sibling donor transplantation (MSD), 26 cases undergoing haploidentical transplantation (HID), and 1 case undergoing matched-unrelated donor transplantation (MUD). Multivariate analysis was used to analyze the risk factors related to post-relapse overall survival (PROS).
		                        		
		                        			RESULTS:
		                        			All the 47 patients were implanted successfully. The cumulative incidence of grade Ⅱ-Ⅳ, Ⅲ/Ⅳ acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) and chronic GVHD (cGVHD) was 40.4%, 10.6%, and 31.9%, respectively. The incidence of grade Ⅱ-Ⅳ and Ⅲ/Ⅳ aGVHD in HID group was 42.3% and 11.5%, while in MD group was 38.1% and 9.5% (P=0.579, P=1.000), and the incidence of cGVHD in the two groups was 34.6% and 28.6% (P=0.659). The PROS of patients with NK cell absolute count > 190 cells/μl 30 days after transplantation was higher than that of patients with NK cell absolute count ≤190 cells/μl (P=0.021). The 1-year and 3-year PROS of all the patients was 68.1% and 28.4%, respectively, while in the HID group was 78.9% and 40.3%, in the MD group was 54.4% and 14% (P=0.048). Multivariate analysis showed that grade Ⅱ-Ⅳ aGVHD and time of relapse < 3 months were independent risk factors of PROS (P<0.05).
		                        		
		                        			CONCLUSION
		                        			The therapeutic effect of haploidentical transplantation in patients with relapsed hematological malignancies after allo-HSCT is better than that of matched donor transplantation. The high absolute count of NK cells 30 days after transplantation can increase PROS. Grade Ⅱ-Ⅳ aGVHD and time of relapse < 3 months have prognostic significance for long-term survival of patients with relapsed hematological malignancies after transplantation.

		                        			Uncovering conserved 3D protein-ligand binding patterns on the basis of functional groups(FGs)shared by a variety of small molecules can greatly expand our knowledge of protein-ligand interactions.Despite that conserved binding patterns for a few commonly used FGs have been reported in the literature,large-scale identification and evaluation of FG-based 3D binding motifs are still lacking.Here,we propose a computational method,Automatic FG-based Three-dimensional Motif Extractor(AFTME),for automatic mapping of 3D motifs to different FGs of a specific ligand.Applying our method to 233 naturally-occurring ligands,we define 481 FG-binding motifs that are highly conserved across different ligand-binding pockets.Systematic analysis further reveals four main classes of binding motifs corresponding to distinct sets of FGs.Combinations of FG-binding motifs facilitate the binding of proteins to a wide spectrum of ligands with various binding affinities.Finally,we show that our FG-motif map can be used to nominate FGs that potentially bind to specific drug targets,thus providing useful insights and guidance for rational design of small-molecule drugs.

		                        			To provide clinical basis for the diagnosis and treatment of chronic neutrophilic leukemia (CNL) and to provide possible molecular targets for the treatment.
		                        		
		                        			METHODS:
		                        			By summarizing the clinical data of 14 patients with CNL, the clinical characteristics, gene mutation types and possible prognostic factors were analyzed.
		                        		
		                        			RESULTS:
		                        			Among the 14 patients with CNL, males (9 cases) were more than females (5 cases), with a median age of 57 years old. The detection rate of CSF3R mutation was 92.86% (13/14), including 12 cases (85.71%) with T318I mutation and 1 case of Y799X mutation, and only 1 case was not detected for mutation of CSF3R. The ASXL1 mutation was detected in 42.86% (6/14) of the patients, all of which were nonsense mutations, including 4 cases with R693X and 2 cases with E705X, and 14.29% (2/14) of the patients was detected for SETBP1 mutation, all of which were with D868N mutation. No patients with simultaneous ASXL1 and SETBP1 mutations were found, and JAK2 and CALR mutations were not detected. All of the patients had normal karyotypes. These patients' median survival time was 30 months (95%CI 13.19-46.80), and the influence of age over 60 years old was statistically significant (21.83 months vs 35.35 months) (P<0.05).
		                        		
		                        			CONCLUSION
		                        			It is difficult to diagnose CNL. CSF3R T618I mutation is its specific mutation, and ASXL1 mutation and SETBP1 mutation have auxiliary diagnostic significance for CNL. The age>60 years old at diagnosis is a factor of unfavourable prognosis.

		                        			BACKGROUND:
		                        			Multifocal motor neuropathy (MMN), Lewis-Sumner syndrome (LSS), and many chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathies (CIDPs) are representative of acquired multifocal polyneuropathy and are characterized by conduction block (CB). This retrospective study aimed to investigate the demyelinating distribution and the selective vulnerability of MMN, LSS, and CIDP with CB (CIDP-CB) in nerves.
		                        		
		                        			METHODS:
		                        			Fifteen LSS subjects (107 nerves), 24 MMN subjects (176 nerves), and 17 CIDP-CB subjects (110 nerves) were included. Their clinical information was recorded, blood and cerebrospinal fluid tests were conducted, and nerve conductions of the median, ulnar, radial, peroneal, and tibial nerves were evaluated. CB, temporal dispersion, distal motor latency (DML), and F-wave latency were recorded, and nerve conduction velocity, terminal latency index, and modified F-wave ratio were calculated.
		                        		
		                        			RESULTS:
		                        			CB was more likely to occur around the elbow in CIDP-CB than in MMN (78.6% vs. 6.8%, P < 0.01) but less likely to occur between the wrist and the elbow than in LSS (10.7% vs. 39.3%, P < 0.05). Tibial nerve CB was most frequently observed in MMN (47.4%, P < 0.05). CIDP-CB was characterized by a prolonged DML in all nerves, and slow motor nerve velocity of the upper limb was significant when CB nerves were excluded (P < 0.05).
		                        		
		                        			CONCLUSIONS
		                        			We report the different distributions of segmental and diffuse demyelination of the ulnar and tibial nerves in LSS, MMN, and CIDP-CB. These distinct distributions could help in differentiating among these conditions.
