		                        			Bile acids(BAs)are synthesized by the liver from cholesterol through several complementary pathways and aberrant cholesterol metabolism plays pivotal roles in the pathogeneses of cholesterol gallbladder polyps(CGP)and cholesterol gallstones(CGS).To date,there is neither systematic study on BAs profile of CGP or CGS,nor the relationship between them.To explore the metabolomics profile of plasma BAs in healthy volunteers,CGP and CGS patients,an ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry(UPLC-MS/MS)method was developed and validated for simultaneous determination of 42 free and conjugated BAs in human plasma.The developed method was sensitive and reproducible to be applied for the quantification of BAs in the investigation of plasma samples.The results show that,compared to healthy volunteers,CGP and CGS were both characterized by the significant decrease in plasma BAs pool size,furthermore CGP and CGS shared aberrant BAs metabolic characteristics.Cheno-deoxycholic acid,glycochenodeoxycholic acid,λ-muricholic acid,deoxycholic acid,and 7-ketolithocholic acid were shared potential markers of these two cholesterol gallbladder diseases.Subsequent analysis showed that clinical characteristics including cysteine,ornithine and body mass index might be closely related to metabolisms of certain BA modules.This work provides metabolomic information for the study of gallbladder diseases and analytical methodologies for clinical target analysis and efficacy evaluation related to BAs in medical institutions.

		                        			Objective:To investigate the efficacy of venetoclax-based combined regimen in treatment of adult patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML).Methods:The data of 50 adult AML (non-acute promyelocytic leukemia) who received venetoclax-based combined regimen in the First Affiliated Hospital of Xiamen University, Dongguan People's Hospital, the First Hospital of Longyan City, Jieyang People's Hospital from December 2018 to May 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. Different doses venetoclax combined with demethylation drugs or low-dose chemotherapy regimen were used to analyze the therapeutic efficacy. The related factors influencing efficacy were analyzed by using logistic regression.Results:The composite complete remission (CR) rate of 50 AML patients was 62.0% (31/50), the overall response rate (ORR) was 76.0% (38/50); 28 patients achieved effectiveness [CR and partial remission (PR)] after the first cycle and could achieve effectiveness by 3 courses of treatment at the latest. Among 50 patients, 28 cases were newly diagnosed AML, the composite CR rate was 60.8% (17/28), ORR was 78.6% (22/28); 22 cases were recurrent and relapsed, the composite CR rate was 63.6% (14/22), ORR was 72.7% (16/22); and there was no statistically significant difference of ORR between the both groups ( χ2 = 0.23, P = 0.743). Logistic regression multivariate analysis showed age was the only independent influencing factor for the treatment effectiveness ( OR = 8.451, 95% CI 1.306-54.697, P = 0.025). The median duration time of patients receiving venetoclax treatment regimen was 4.5 months (1.1-15.0 months); 16 cases who had treatment effectiveness finally relapsed, the median time of maintaining effectiveness was 5 months (1.1-11.0 months). Additionally, the common treatment-related adverse reactions included bone marrow suppression after treatment, followed by some gastrointestinal reactions like nausea, vomiting and stomachache. In addition, no patient stopped medication for more than 1 week due to bone marrow suppression related complications. Conclusion:Venetoclax-based combined regimen shows a good short-term efficacy in treatment of AML. It is also effective and tolerable for elderly patients receiving reduced dose therapy.

		                        			Objective:To compare the survival rate of secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) patients with different dialysis modalities after parathyroidectomy (PTX), and analyze the influencing factors of survival prognosis.Methods:Clinical data of dialysis patients diagnosed with SHPT and treated with PTX in the First People′s Hospital of Foshan from April 2014 to May 2019 were retrospectively collected and analyzed. The patients were divided into hemodialysis (HD) group and peritoneal dialysis (PD) group according to preoperative dialysis modalities, and the differences in baseline clinical data and cardiac ultrasound results were compared between the two groups. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was used to compare the difference in cumulative survival rate between the two groups. Multivariate Cox regression model was used to analyze the influencing factors of all-cause death. Receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC curve) was used to predict the risk of all-cause death.Results:A total of 99 patients were enrolled in this study, and 94 patients completed follow-up, including 23 patients who died. Compared with PD group ( n=45), HD group ( n=54) had higher dialysis age, blood pressure, intact parathyroid hormone, alkaline phosphatase, total heart valve calcification rate, mitral valve calcification proportion, interventricular septal thickness (IVST) and left ventricular mass index (all P<0.05). The median follow-up time was 46.00(32.75, 60.25) months. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that there was no significant difference in cumulative survival rate between HD group and PD group (Log-rank test χ2=0.414, P=0.520). Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that increasing age ( HR=1.066, 95% CI 1.017-1.118, P=0.008), systolic blood pressure>140 mmHg ( HR=2.601, 95% CI 1.002-6.752, P=0.049) and increasing IVST ( HR=1.269, 95% CI 1.036-1.554, P=0.021) were independent influencing factors for all-cause death in dialysis patients after PTX. ROC curve analysis results showed that the cut-off values of age, dialysis age and IVST for predicting all-cause death after PTX were 51.5 years old ( AUC=0.673, 95% CI 0.545-0.802, P=0.013) and 75.0 months ( AUC=0.654, 95% CI 0.528-0.780, P=0.027) and 13.5 mm ( AUC=0.680, 95% CI 0.557-0.803, P=0.010) respectively. The area under the ROC curve for age, dialysis age, IVST, left ventricular hypertrophy in combination with systolic blood pressure>140 mmHg in the prediction of all-cause death after PTX was 0.776(95% CI 0.677-0.875, P<0.001). Conclusions:There is no significant difference in cumulative survival rate between HD and PD patients with SHPT after PTX. Increasing age, systolic blood pressure>140 mmHg and increasing IVST are independent risk factors for all-cause death in dialysis patients with SHPT after PTX.

		                        			Objective:Gastric cancer in adolescents is rare, with only a few cases reported in the literature. The purpose of this study is to investigate the clinicopathological features and prognostic factors of gastric cancer in adolescents aged 10-24 years.Methods:A case-controlled study was performed. The clinicopathological data of gastric cancer patients aged 10-24 years who were treated at the First Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital from February 2000 to February 2017 were retrospectively collected and compared with those patients over 40 years old at the same period, which were randomly selected in a ratio of 1:2. All the patients were followed up until June 2019 and Cox proportional hazard model was used to analyze prognostic factors in the adolescent patients.Results:A total of 63 adolescent gastric cancer patients (0.4% of all 14 794 gastric cancer patients) were enrolled, including 31 males (49.2%) and 32 females (50.8%), with a mean body mass index of (19.5±4.3) kg/m 2. Before diagnosis, Only 35 cases (55.6%) had warning symptoms such as weight loss, ascites, obstruction, hematemesis, black stool, etc.; 5 cases (7.9%) had a family history of gastrointestinal tumor. The median duration of symptoms before diagnosis was 3 months. At diagnosis, 58 cases (92.1%) were poorly differentiated, 57 cases (90.5%) were T3-4 stage, 19 cases (30.2%) were signet ring cell cancer or mucous adenocarcinoma, 57 cases (90.5%) had lymph node metastasis, and 36 cases (57.1%) had distant metastasis. Twenty-nine patients (46.0%) underwent radical surgery, 12 patients underwent palliative surgery, 5 patients underwent exploratory laparotomy, 17 patients were unable to operate due to late stage. Of 56 cases (88.9%) with TNM stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ, 51 patients (81.0%) received chemotherapy. Of the 126 patients over 40 years old, 98 cases (77.8%) were male and 28 cases (22.2%) were female, and the mean body mass index was (23.8±3.2) kg/m 2. There were 60 cases (47.6%) with low differentiation, 90 cases (71.4%) with T3-4, 16 cases (12.7%) with signet ring cell cancer and mucous cell cancer, 79 cases (62.7%) with lymph node metastasis, and 12 cases (9.5%) with distant metastasis. A total of 115 cases (91.3%) underwent radical surgery. Of 74 cases (58.7%) with TNM stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ, 67 cases received (53.2%) chemotherapy. The 63 adolescent gastric cancer patients had lower body mass index, and higher proportion in female, poorly differentiation, signet ring cell cancer and mucous cell cancer, T3-4 stage, lymph node metastasis, distant metastasis, TNM stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ and receiving chemotherapy compared with 126 gastric cancer patients over 40 years old (all P<0.05). Among the 63 adolescent gastric cancer patients, 52 cases (82.5%) were followed up with median follow-up time of 72.1 (36.1, 100.8) months, and the median survival time was 10.4 months (95% CI: 6.5-15.1). The 1-year, 3-year and 5-year survival rates were 44.2%, 25.0% and 18.0%, respectively. Univariate analysis showed that the depth of tumor invasion (HR=7.15, 95% CI:1.71-29.89, P=0.007), lymph node metastasis (HR=6.00, 95% CI:1.42 - 25.42, P=0.015), distant metastasis (HR=7.25, 95% CI: 3.25 - 16.18, P<0.001), TNM stage (HR=5.49, 95% CI: 1.67-18.12, P=0.005) and tumor resection (HR=0.18, 95% CI: 0.09-0.37, P<0.001) were the risk factors affecting the prognosis of adolescent gastric cancer patients. Multivariate survival analysis showed that distant metastasis was an independent factor for gastric cancer survival in adolescents (HR=3.67, 95% CI: 1.32-10.19, P=0.012). Conclusions:Gastric cancer in adolescents is insidious and progresses rapidly. Most of them are in the advanced stage at diagnosis and have low rate of radical excision.

		                        			Objective:
		                        			To investigate the effects of miRNA on the expression of paraoxonase 1 (PON1) and its clinical application in the patients with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH).   
		                        		
		                        			Methods:
		                        			Bioinformatics methods were used to analyze and predict PON1 related regulation on miRNA. PON1 luciferase reporter gene vectors were constructed and the activity of dual luciferase was analyzed. The up/down-regulated levels of miRNA in HepG2 cells of different groups were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR), and the levels of PON1 protein in HepG2 cells were detected by western blot. The levels of miR140-5p in the serum of healthy people and NASH patients were also analyzed by qRT-PCR. 
		                        		
		                        			Results:
		                        			According to the prediction of TargetScan database, miR140-5p may bind complementarily to the end of PON13′-UTR. The analysis for the activity of dual luciferase reporter gene showed that miR-140-5p mimic significantly downregulated the fluorescence of wild type PON1 vector (P<0.01). The results of qRT-PCR demonstrated that miR-140-5p mimic group showed high overexpression (P<0.01) compared with the normal cell control group and the negative mimic control group, while miR-140-5p inhibitor group appeared corresponding low expression (P<0.05). western blot results suggested that the transfection of miR140-5p mimic significantly down-regulated the expression of PON1 (P<0.01) while miR140-5p inhibitor up-regulated this expression (P<0.01). Compared with the healthy control group, the level of miR140-5p was decreased in the serum of NASH patients, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.01).  
		                        		
		                        			Conclusion
		                        			miR140-5p may be involved in the progression of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis through regulation for the posttranscriptional gene expression of PON1.

		                        			Objective To investigate the relationship between body composition and adequacy of dialysis,and analyze the related risk factors for inadequate delivery of hemodialysis.Methods In a prospective clinical trial,two different methods determining dialysis dose were simultaneously applied:Kt/Vdau (conventional method with Daugirdas' formula) and Kt/Vbem [online clearance monitoring (OCM) measurement with Ⅴ measured by body composition monitor (BCM)].Using the value of 1.27 as the boundary,the patients were divided into two groups:Kt/Vbcm < 1.27 group and Kt/Vbcm≥ 1.27 group.Clinical indices were compared between the two groups.Multiple linear regression was applied to analyze the potential impact factors of the difference between Kt/V values calculated by the two methods.Receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve was applied to analyze meaningful factors.Results A total of 138 maintenance hemodialysis patients with age of (54.9±12.7) years old were enrolled,and 55.1% of them were males.There was no significant difference between Kt/Vdau and Kt/Vbcm [1.432(1.235,1.718) vs 1.434 (1.244,1.642),P=0.823].Kt/Vdau was incidentally prone to falsely high values due to operative errors,whereas in these cases OCM-based measurement Kt/Vbcm delivered realistic values.An excellent correlation was observed between Kt/Vdau and Kt/Vbcm;the mean difference was 0.07,95%CI (-0.66-0.79);the correlation coefficient was 0.842(0.821-0.862).The patients in Kt/Vbcm≥ 1.27 group had older age,lower body mass index (BMI),lower height and weight,lower total body water (TBW),lower extracellular water,lower intracellular water,and lower lean tissue index (LTI) compared to those in Kt/Vbcm < 1.27 group.Excellent correlations were observed between Kt/Vbcm and TBW or LTI (r=-0.834,P < 0.001;r=-0.721,P < 0.001).ROC curve analysis showed that the sensitivity and specificity of predicting inadequate delivery of hemodialysis were 87.1% and 86.5%,with a threshold of 30 L for TBW.It also showed that the sensitivity and specificity of predicting inadequate delivery of hemodialysis were 60.4% and 94.6%,with a threshold of 11.05 kg/m2 for LTI.Conclusions BCM can give more accurate parameters of urea distribution volume,thus modifying the result of Kt/V.TBW and LTI are important risk influencing factors for inadequately dialysis,and special attention should be paid to patients with TBW > 30 L or LTI > 11.05 kg/m2.
