Objective To screen long non-coding RNA(lncRNA)associated with disulfidptosis and investigate the immune landscape between lncRNA and pancreatic cancer,for effective guidance in clinical practice.Methods The normal and pancreatic cancer tissue samples were obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas database,and the lncRNA associated with disulfidptosis was identified based on the Cox and LASSO regression analyses.A risk prognosis model was constructed,and its predictive performance was verified using comprehensive methods.An accurate nomogram was construted to predict the prognosis of patients with pancreatic cancer.The biological differences were analyzed via Gene Ontology,Gene Set Enrichment Analysis,and an immunoassay.The immunotherapy response was estimated using the tumor mutational burden(TMB)score.Results A total of 251 disulfidptosis-related lncRNAs were successfully identified,and three groups of lncRNAs were selected as the reference for the risk model.Pathway analysis showed that immune-related pathways were associated with disulfidptosis-related lncRNA risk models.The risk score was significantly correlated with immune cell infiltration and the ESTIMATE score.Patients with higher risk scores had elevated TMB,indicating that high-risk patients exhibited a better immune checkpoint blockade response.Conclusion The findings of this study contribute to a deeper understanding of disulfidpto-sis-related lncRNA and provide a potential therapeutic strategy for pancreatic cancer.

Atopic dermatitis(AD)is the most common chronic inflammatory skin disease.For decades,the treatment of AD has been limited to local corticosteroid or calcineurin inhibitors,and light therapy or systemic immunosuppressive drug for moderate to severe AD patients.With the in-depth study of the pathogenesis of AD,many local and systemic targeted therapy drugs are being developed,which may change the treatment options of AD.This review combination with the latest clinical trials give a summarize on the type,mechanism,efficacy and safety of biological targeted therapy for AD,to provide a theoretical basis for the individualized treatment of AD.

Objective To investigate the role of endoplasmic reticulum stress and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase P38MAPK signaling pathway in thyroid epithelial cell injury induced by high iodine.Methods The thyroid epithelial cells Nthy-ori 3-1 were randomly divided into control group(normal culture),model group(40 mmol·L-1 potassium iodide),4-phenylbutyric acid(4-PB A)group(40 mmol·L-1 potassium iodide and 2 mmol·L-1 4-PBA)and SB203580 group(40 mmol·L-1 potassium iodide and 10 μmol·L-1 SB203580).Western blot was used to detect the expression of glucose regulated protein 78(GRP78)and p-P38/P38 of Nthy-ori 3-1 cells.MTT and colony formation experiments were used to detect the proliferation level.Flow cytometry was used to detect the apoptosis level.Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)was used to detect the level of interleukin-6(IL-6).Results The expression levels of GRP78 protein in control group,model group,4-PBA group and SB203580 group were 0.15±0.03,0.61±0.07,0.27±0.03 and 0.37±0.04;the ratios of p-P38/P38 were 0.12±0.03,0.53±0.04,0.35±0.04 and 0.25±0.03;cell survival rates were(100.00±0.00)％,(53.71±6.16)％,(80.24±8.17)％and(71.29±7.36)％;the number of clones formed was 271.36±25.18,96.09±10.79,183.24±15.36 and 141.24±16.18;the apoptosis rates were(1.04±0.21)％,(9.27±1.67)％,(3.18±1.52)％and(3.82±1.09)％;IL-6 secretion levels were(0.71±0.08),(9.17±0.87),(3.26±0.29)and(4.71±0.41)nmol·L-1,respectively.For the above indicators,there was significant difference between the model group and the control group(all P＜0.05);there was significant difference between the 4-PBA group,SB203580 group and the model group(all P＜0.05).Conclusion High iodine can inhibit the proliferation of Nthy-ori 3-1 cells and induce apoptosis and secretion of inflammatory factors,which may be related to the activation of endoplasmic reticulum stress and P38MAPK signaling pathway by high iodine.

Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.

Objective:To explore the role of NK cells in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell micro-transplantation(MST)in the treatment of patients with acute myeloid leukemia(AML).Methods:Data from 93 AML patients treated with MST at our center from 2013-2018 were retrospectively analyzed.The induction regimen was anthracycline and cytarabine combined with peripheral blood stem cells transplantation mobilization by granulocyte colony stimulating factor(GPBSC),followed by 2-4 courses of intensive treatment with medium to high doses of cytarabine combined with GPBSC after achieving complete remission(CR).The therapeutic effects of one and two courses of MST induction therapy on 42 patients who did not reach CR before transplantation were evaluated.Cox proportional hazards regression analysis was used to analyze the impact of donor NK cell dose and KIR genotype,including KIR ligand mismatch,2DS1,haplotype,and HLA-Cw ligands on survival prognosis of patients.Results:Forty-two patients received MST induction therapy,and the CR rate was 57.1％after 1 course and 73.7％after 2 courses.Multivariate analysis showed that,medium and high doses of NK cells was significantly associated with improved disease-free survival(DFS)of patients(HR=0.27,P=0.005;HR=0.21,P=0.001),and high doses of NK cells was significantly associated with improved overall survival(OS)of patients(HR=0.15,P=0.000).Donor 2DS1 positive significantly increases OS of patients(HR=0.25,P=0.011).For high-risk patients under 60 years old,patients of the donor-recipient KIR ligand mismatch group had longer DFS compared to the nonmismatch group(P=0.036);donor 2DS1 positive significantly prolonged OS of patients(P=0.009).Conclusion:NK cell dose,KIR ligand mismatch and 2DS1 influence the therapeutic effect of MST,improve the survival of AML patients.

Aim To study the main active components and potential mechanism of selenshenzhi prescription a-gainst esophageal cancer by network pharmacology and in vivo and in vitro experiments.Methods The com-mon target was extracted from TCMSP,OMIM and GeneCards databases,and the PPI network was con-structed using STRING database.DAVID database was used for GO and KEGG enrichment analysis,and a network was constructed based on STRING and DAVID database for in vivo and in vitro experimental verifica-tion.Results Prediction results showed that a total of 100 active ingredients and 749 related targets were ob-tained,and 168 common targets were obtained between selenoshenzhi recipe and esophageal cancer,which were involved in the PI3K-AKT signaling pathway and proteoglycan signaling pathways in cancer.Selenshenz-hi prescription was used to conduct preliminary verifi-cation of related targets for human esophageal cancer EC9706 based on in vitro experiments.The results showed that selenshenzhi prescription could significantly inhibit the proliferation of esophageal cancer cells and induce the apoptosis of EC9706 through the expression of Bax,Bcl-2,caspase-3 and other key apoptotic pro-teins.Lastly,the core target and pathway of selensh-enzhi prescription were preliminically verified based on in vivo animal experiments on nude mice with esopha-geal cancer.The results showed that selenshenzhi pre-scription could significantly inhibit tumor proliferation,promote tumor cell apoptosis,and induce tumor apop-tosis by regulating the expression of key proteins on PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.Conclusions Selensh-enzhi prescription can control the occurrence and de-velopment of esophageal cancer through the synergistic effect of multi-components,multi-targets and multi-pathways,and provide a theoretical basis for further clinical investigation of the mechanism of selenshenzhi prescription in the treatment of esophageal cancer in the future.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the clinical effect of electroacupuncture at acupoints of yangming meridians for sarcopenia. METHODS: A total of 60 patients with sarcopenia were randomized into an observation group and a control group, 30 cases in each group. In the control group, conventional nutrition intervention for sarcopenia was adopted. In the observation group, on the basis of the treatment in the control group, acupuncture was applied at bilateral Binao (LI 14), Quchi (LI 11), Zusanli (ST 36), Yanglingquan (GB 34), etc.,ipsilateral Quchi (LI 11) and Zusanli (ST 36) were connected to electroacupuncture, with discontinuous wave, 2 Hz in frequency, 1-10 mA in intensity, 2 times a week, with a interval of 3 days. A total of 12-week treatment was required in the two groups. Before and after treatment, the appendicular skeletal muscle mass index (ASMI), grip strength, 6 m-walking time, body fat percentage and body moisture percentage were observed in the two groups. RESULTS: Compared with those before treatment, after treatment, ASMI and grip strength were increased while 6 m-walking time was shortened in the two groups (P<0.05); body fat percentage was decreased while body moisture percentage was increased in the observation group (P<0.05). After treatment, in the observation group, ASMI, grip strength and body moisture percentage were increased (P<0.05), 6 m-walking time was shortened and body fat percentage was decreased (P<0.05) compared with those in the control group. CONCLUSION Electroacupuncture at acupoints of yangming meridians can effectively improve the skeletal muscle mass, muscle function, body fat percentage and body moisture percentage in patients with sarcopenia, and make the distribution of muscle and fat more reasonable.

OBJECTIVE: To retrospectively analyze the efficacy and complications of our institution's modified nonmyeloablative allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (NST) in treating intermediate-risk acute myeloid leukemia (AML) - first complete remission (CR1) and prognostic factors. METHODS: Clinical data of 50 intermediate-risk AML-CR1 patients who underwent matched related NST at the Fifth Medical Center of Chinese People's Liberation Army General Hospital from August 2004 to April 2021 were collected, the hematopoietic recovery, donor engraftment and complications were observed, and overall survival (OS) rate, leukemia-free survival (LFS) rate, treatment-related mortality (TRM), and cumulative relapse rate were calculated. Statistical analysis of factors affecting prognosis was also preformed. RESULTS: The median times for neutrophil and platelet recovery after transplantation were 10 (6-16) and 13 (6-33) days, respectively. One month after transplantation, 22 patients (44%) achieved full donor chimerism (FDC), and 22 patients (44%) achieved mixed chimerism (MC), among whom 18 cases gradually transited to FDC during 1-11 months, 4 cases maintained MC status. The overall incidence of acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) was 36%, with a rate of 18% for grade II-IV aGVHD and a median onset time of 45 (20-70) days after transplantation. The overall incidence of chronic GVHD (cGVHD) was 34%, with 20% and 14% of patients having limited or extensive cGVHD, respectively. The incidence rates of infections, interstitial pneumonia, and hemorrhagic cystitis were 30%, 10%, and 16%, respectively. The 5-year OS rate, LFS rate, TRM, and cumulative relapse rate were 68%, 64%, 16%, and 20%, respectively. The increase of the number of CD34⁺ cells infused had shortened the recovery time for neutrophils and platelets (r =0.563, r =0.350). The number of CD34⁺ cells infused significantly influenced the occurrence of extensive cGVHD (OR =1.36, 95%CI : 1.06-1.84, P =0.024). CONCLUSION Modified NST is effective in treating intermediate-risk AML-CR1 patients, however, further expansion of sample size is needed to study prognostic factors.

OBJECTIVE To provide a reference for safe drug use in clinic. METHODS ADE reports related to nilotinib from the first quarter of 2007 to the fourth quarter of 2022 were collected from the US FDA adverse event reporting system database. The reporting odds ratio （ROR） and proportional reporting ratio （PRR） of disproportionality measures were used to mine potential ADE signals，which were compared with drug instruction and related case report， and were screened and analyzed according to the designated medical events （DME） list formulated by the European Medicines Agency. RESULTS Totally 23 332 cases of ADE with nilotinib as the primary suspected drug were reported. A total of 359 positive signals were obtained，involving 24 system organ classes （SOC），mainly concentrated in various examinations，heart organ diseases，vascular and lymphatic diseases，all kinds of nervous system diseases，etc. Among them，ADEs such as vertebral artery stenosis，coronary artery stenosis，arterial disease，liver infection and the second primary malignant tumor were not mentioned in the instructions. Seven DMEs were detected，of which bone marrow failure，pulmonary hypertension and deafness were not mentioned in the drug instruction. CONCLUSIONS The common ADE signals of nilotinib excavated in this study are consistent with the instructions. In clinical use，special attention should be paid to DME not mentioned in the instructions such as bone marrow failure，pulmonary hypertension and deafness； cardiac function， blood glucose and blood lipid indexes should be monitored closely.
