Objective:To evaluate the clinical value of a capillary electrophoresis-based method for gene diagnosis of hyperphenylalaninemia.Methods:In this single-center prospective study, 40 newborns with suspected hyperphenylalaninemia detected by neonatal liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry screening at Nanjing Maternity and Child Health Care Hospital from February 2021 to February 2023 were included, with 22 males, 18 females and a mean age at diagnosis of 21.93 days.Capillary electrophoresis was used to detect 85 variants of the phenylalanine hydroxylase ( PAH) gene in 40 newborns with suspected hyperphenylalaninemia.The PAH gene of undiagnosed patients was further analyzed by Sanger sequencing.The detection rate, sensitivity and specificity of capillary electrophoresis were calculated. Results:Among these 40 newborns with suspected hyperphenylalaninemia, 71 PAH variants were detected by capillary electrophoresis, 32 patients were clearly diagnosed, only 1 pathogenic variant was found in 5 patients, and no pathogenic variant was found in the last 3 patients.Therefore, the detection rate, sensitivity and specificity of capillary electrophoresis for analysis of the PAH gene were 80.00%, 88.75% and 100%, respectively. Conclusions:The capillary electrophoresis-based method can rapidly, efficiently and accurately detect PAH gene variants at lower cost and is a promising gene detection method for hyperphenylalaninemia in clinical practice.

Objective To explore the feasibility of decreasing radiation dose of enhanced abdominal examination in 320-row CT using 80 kV tube voltage combined with Karl iterative reconstruction.Methods One hundred patients with body mass index(BMI)＜25.0 kg/m2 who underwent enhanced abdominal examination in 320-row CT were divided into group A and group B(50 patients for each group).120 kV tube voltage and filtered back projection(FBP)reconstruction were used for group A,while 80 kV tube voltage,FBP recon-struction and Karl iterative reconstruction were used for group B.Radiation dose and image quality between the two groups were evaluated.Results The effective dose(ED)were(11.0±1.7)mSv in group A and(5.6±0.7)mSv in group B for single scan(P＜0.01).Compared with group A,the ED in group B was decreased by 49.1％.The noise on the Karl images in group B was significantly decreased compared with the FBP images in group B(P＜0.01),and there was no significant difference in noise of liver between the FBP ima-ges in group A and the Karl images in group B(P＞0.05).Compared with the FBP images in group A,the noise of abdominal aorta and portal vein on the Karl images in group B was slightly increased(P＜0.05),while the signal-to-noise ratio(SNR)and the con-trast-to-noise ratio(CNR)of abdominal aorta and portal vein on the Karl images in group B were significantly increased(P＜0.01).Image quality scores for liver,spleen,pancreas,kidney,gastrointestinal tract,abdominal aorta and portal vein on the Karl images in group B were significantly higher than those on the FBP images in group B(P＜0.01),and there was no significant difference in the image quality scores for liver,spleen,pancreas,kidney,gastrointestinal tract,and abdominal aorta between the FBP images in group A and the Karl images in group B(P＞0.05),while the image quality score for portal vein on the Karl images in group B was higher than that on the FBP images in group A(P＜0.05).Conclusion Radiation dose can be decreased obviously in 320-row CT enhanced abdominal examination using 80 kV tube voltage combined with Karl iterative reconstruction for the patients with BMI＜25.0 kg/m2,while image quality can be maintained for diagnosis.

Objective:To explore the efficacy and safety of whole-brain low-dose radiotherapy(LDRT)combined with PD-1 inhibitor sin-tilimab and intrathecal pemetrexed(IP)for the treatment of refractory non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC)with leptomeningeal metastases(LM).Methods:Retrospective analysies were was performed on eight NSCLC patients with LM at the West China Hospital of Sichuan Uni-versity from December 2022 to May 2024.Among the eight patients,there were four were males and four were females,with a median age of 49 years(rangeing,between 34 to 58 years).All patients were treated with whole-brain LDRT combined with immune checkpoint inhibit-or(ICI)and intrathecal chemotherapy regimens,and the therapeutic efficacy was evaluated according to the Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology(RANO)criteria and the Karnofsky physical status(KPS)score.Adverse reactions were assessed according to the Common Criteria for the Evaluation of Adverse Events(CTCAE version 5.0).Survival analysis was performed using the Kaplan-Meier method.The classification proportion of cerebrospinal fluid subsets before and after treatment was analyzed using by single-cell sequencing,and the differential ana-lysis of gene expression in parallel cells was performed.Results:The best clinical treatment effects in eight patients were were evaluated us-ing the RANO criteria:five patients(62.5%)were evaluated as improved and three(37.5%)as stable.The median KPS score of the eight pa-tients was 30(20-50)before treatment,which was significantly improved to 60(40-90)after treatment(P=0.000 9).The remission rate of neurological symptoms was 100%(8/8)in eight patients.The median neurological progression-free survival(NPFS)was 12 months.The res-ults of single-cell sequencing in CSF of patientss(P1)showed that the proportion of T cells in the patient samples after whole-brain LDRT treatment was significantly higher than that before treatment(6.08%vs.68.87%),and the proportion of tumor cells was significantly lower(12.92%vs.0.6%).The differential analysis of gene expression showed that CCL5 and CXCL13 were significantly upregulated in T cells of CSF after WB-LDRT treatment.Conclusions:The combination of whole-brain LDRT with ICI and IP in the treatment of NSCLC with LM can signific-antly alleviate neurological symptoms,improve quality of life and prolong the NPFS of patients,which is a safe and effective treatment.

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 establish an analytical method combining gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry(GC-MS)and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry(LC-MS)to detect diazepam residue in bait nest materials and fish samples,and improve the pretreatment steps of samples to make the experimental results accurate and the sample processing convenient and fast.Methods Taking diazepam as the research object,samples were extracted with methanol and dichloromethane/n-hexane as solvents according to the type,and the supernatant was taken for detection after centrifugation.Results The diazepam standard sample showed a good linear relationship in the range of 10～10 000 ng/mL.The retention times in methanol and mixed solvent were 13.54 min and 13.83 min,respectively,and the correlation coefficients were 0.998 and 0.999,respectively;The limit of detection(LOD)of using methanol as extraction solvent was 2 ppb,and limit of quantification(LOQ)was 6 ppb.The LOD of using mixed solvents was 5 ppb,and the LOQ was 15 ppb.When the sample is a bait nest material,the GC-MS spectrum was clear and standard,and the peak shape was sharp and prominent;When the sample is biological specimen,the GC-MS spectra are disturbed by matrix,while the LC-MS data is more accurate and faster.Conclusion It is more appropriate to use GC-MS to determine the content of bait nest materialsamples,and it is more accurate to LC-MS to determine the content of fish samples due to the complexity of the organism.

Objective:To analyze the factors influencing the occurrence of allergic diseases in infants and children aged 0-3 years.Methods:A case-control study was conducted to retrospectively analyze the clinical data of 90 infants and young children diagnosed with allergic diseases (observation group) admitted to Jinhua Maternal & Child Health Care Hospital from January 2019 to June 2023 and 80 healthy infants and young children undergoing routine health check-ups during the same period (control group). The clinical characteristics of the two groups were compared, and multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to identify the factors influencing the occurrence of allergic diseases in infants and young children aged 0 to 3 years.Results:In the observation group, the proportions of infants with a family history of allergic diseases, exposure to smoking environments, maternal smoking exposure during pregnancy, maternal consumption of docosahexaenoic acid during pregnancy, and antibiotic use in infants were 77.8% (70/90), 55.6% (50/90), 66.7% (60/90), 61.1% (55/90), and 55.6% (50/90), respectively. All of these were significantly higher than those in the control group [31.3% (25/80), 25.0% (20/80), 25.0% (20/80), 25.0% (20/80), 25.0% (20/80), χ2 = 37.19, 16.33, 29.51, 22.40, 16.33, all P < 0.05]. The proportion of breastfeeding in the observation group was 44.4% (40/90), which was significantly lower than that in the control group [75.0% (60/80), χ2 = 16.33, P < 0.05]. Multivariate logistic regression analysis results revealed that family history of allergic diseases, non-breastfeeding, exposure to smoking environments, maternal smoking exposure during pregnancy, maternal consumption of docosahexaenoic acid during pregnancy, and antibiotic use in infants were risk factors for the occurrence of allergic diseases in infants and young children aged 0 to 3 years ( OR = 3.511, 3.688, 3.377, 3.728, 3.912, 4.023, all P < 0.05). Conclusion:A family history of allergic diseases, non-breastfeeding, exposure to smoking environments, maternal smoking exposure during pregnancy, maternal consumption of docosahexaenoic acid during pregnancy, and antibiotic use in infants are risk factors for the occurrence of allergic diseases in infants and young children aged 0 to 3 years. Clinically, these factors can be used to assess the likelihood of allergic diseases in infants.

The clinical data of a case of Niemann-Pick disease type C diagnosed at Beijing Children′s Hospital, Capital Medical University on December 22, 2017 were retrospectively analyzed.The patient, male, 1 year and 28 days old, was admitted to the hospital primarily due to intermittent fever, cough and dyspnea for 8 months, and hepatosplenomegaly for 20 days.The patient initially presented with cough, expectoration, and wheezing, followed by hypotonia and delayed motor development.At the age of 1 year, the child developed hepatosplenomegaly and diffuse interstitial changes in both lungs.At the age of 3 years, the child had obvious vertical supranuclear gaze palsy and gelastic cataplexy, followed by dysarthria and dysphagia.The foam cells were found by bone marrow cytology, while sphingomyelinase and glucocerebrosidase were normal, so Niemann-Pick disease type A/B and Gaucher disease were excluded.Finally, genetic testing revealed two pathogenic mutations in the NPC1 gene, so Niemann-Pick disease type C was confirmed.Miglustat treatment began when the child was 3 years old, and vertical supranuclear gaze palsy and gelastic cataplexy improved for a while, but then the neurological symptoms worsened again, with dysphagia and dyspnea gradually increasing, and finally he died at the age of 4 years and 11 months.

Objective:To retrospectively analyze the treatment status of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) in newly diagnosed patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) in China.Methods:Data of chronic phase (CP) and accelerated phase (AP) CML patients diagnosed from January 2006 to December 2022 from 77 centers, ≥18 years old, and receiving initial imatinib, nilotinib, dasatinib or flumatinib-therapy within 6 months after diagnosis in China with complete data were retrospectively interrogated. The choice of initial TKI, current TKI medications, treatment switch and reasons, treatment responses and outcomes as well as the variables associated with them were analyzed.Results:6 893 patients in CP ( n=6 453, 93.6%) or AP ( n=440, 6.4%) receiving initial imatinib ( n=4 906, 71.2%), nilotinib ( n=1 157, 16.8%), dasatinib ( n=298, 4.3%) or flumatinib ( n=532, 7.2%) -therapy. With the median follow-up of 43 ( IQR 22-75) months, 1 581 (22.9%) patients switched TKI due to resistance ( n=1 055, 15.3%), intolerance ( n=248, 3.6%), pursuit of better efficacy ( n=168, 2.4%), economic or other reasons ( n=110, 1.6%). The frequency of switching TKI in AP patients was significantly-higher than that in CP patients (44.1% vs 21.5%, P<0.001), and more AP patients switched TKI due to resistance than CP patients (75.3% vs 66.1%, P=0.011). Multi-variable analyses showed that male, lower HGB concentration and ELTS intermediate/high-risk cohort were associated with lower cytogenetic and molecular responses rate and poor outcomes in CP patients; higher WBC count and initial the second-generation TKI treatment, the higher response rates; Ph + ACA at diagnosis, poor PFS. However, Sokal intermediate/high-risk cohort was only significantly-associated with lower CCyR and MMR rates and the poor PFS. Lower HGB concentration and larger spleen size were significantly-associated with the lower cytogenetic and molecular response rates in AP patients; initial the second-generation TKI treatment, the higher treatment response rates; lower PLT count, higher blasts and Ph + ACA, poorer TFS; Ph + ACA, poorer OS. Conclusion:At present, the vast majority of newly-diagnosed CML-CP or AP patients could benefit from TKI treatment in the long term with the good treatment responses and survival outcomes.

Antibody-drug conjugates(ADCs)are a new type of targeting antibodies that conjugate with highly toxic anticancer drugs via chemical linkers to exert high specificity and efficient killing of tumor cells,thereby attracting considerable attention in precise oncology therapy.Cetuximab(Cet)is a typical antibody that offers the benefits of good targeting and safety for individuals with advanced and inoperable cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma(cSCC);however,its anti-tumor activity is limited to a single use.Cisplatin(CisPt)shows good curative effects;however,its adverse effects and non-tumor-targeting ability are major drawbacks.In this study,we designed and developed a new ADC based on a new cytotoxic platinum(Ⅳ)prodrug(C8Pt(Ⅳ))and Cet.The so-called antibody-platinum(Ⅳ)prodrugs conjugates,named Cet-C8Pt(Ⅳ),showed excellent tumor targeting in cSCC.Specifically,it accurately delivered C8Pt(Ⅳ)into tumor cells to exert the combined anti-tumor effect of Cet and CisPt.Herein,metabolomic analysis showed that Cet-C8Pt(Ⅳ)promoted cellular apoptosis and increased DNA damage in cSCC cells by affecting the vitamin B6 metabolic pathway in tumor cells,thereby further enhancing the tumor-killing ability and providing a new strategy for clinical cancer treatment using antibody-platinum(Ⅳ)prodrugs conjugates.
