Background:
The immune system plays a critical role in the development and progression of osteoporosis and fractures. However, the causal relationships between antibody immune responses, immune cells, and these bone conditions remain unclear. This study aimed to explore these relationships using Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis.
Methods:
We collected complete blood count data from patients with fractures and healthy individuals and analyzed their differences. Then, we conducted a 2-sample, 2-step MR analysis to investigate the causal effects of antibody immune responses on osteoporosis and fractures, using inverse-variance weighted (IVW) as the primary method. We also explored whether immune cells mediate the pathway between antibodies and osteoporosis or fractures. Finally, we analyzed the functions and expression levels of key genes involved.
Results:
Overall, the fracture group exhibited increased white blood cell count, absolute neutrophil count, absolute monocyte count, platelet count, and their respective proportions, while absolute lymphocyte count, absolute eosinophil count, absolute basophil count, red blood cell count, and their proportions were decreased. We identified 44 causal relationships between antibodies and osteoporosis or fractures, with 7 supported by multiple MR methods, and 5 showing odds ratios significantly deviating from 1 in the IVW analysis. Epstein-Barr virus-related antibodies had a notable impact on osteoporosis and fractures. The human leukocyte antigen (HLA) gene family, particularly HLA-DPB1, emerged as a significant risk factor. However, immune cells were not found to mediate these effects.
Conclusions
This study elucidated the causal relationships between antibody immune responses, immune cells, and osteoporosis or fractures. The HLA gene family plays a crucial role in the interaction between antibodies and these bone conditions, with HLA-DPB1 identified as a key risk gene. Immune cells do not serve as mediators in this process. These findings provide valuable insights for future research.

Objective:To explore the role and mechanism of IL-39 in K562 cells.Methods:The expressions of IL-39R and STAT1/STAT3 in K562 cells were detected via qRT-PCR;the protein levels of phospho-STAT1/STAT3 and STAT1/STAT3 in K562 cells were detected by Western blot;the mRNA regulated by IL-39 in K562 cells was predicted by RNA sequencing.Results:rIL-39 significantly promoted the expression of IL-39R in K562 cells;IL-39 affected K562 cells through STAT1 pathway;IL-39 significantly regulated the expression of mRNA in K562 cells,thus potentially affecting a series of biological processes.Conclusion:IL-39 can directly act on K562 cells,alter gene transcriptional expression and inhibit tumor growth through the STAT1 pathway.IL-39 may similarly modulate gene expression profile in human leukemia cells.

Objective:To investigate the levels of sex hormone and fertility in female patients after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), as well as their correlation with conditioning regimens, and analyse the effect of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) in young women after HSCT.Methods:Retrospective case series study. The clinical data of 147 women who underwent HSCT in the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from January 2010 to January 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. The sex hormone levels were measured and followed-up, and the survival, menstrual fertility and the use of HRT of the patients were also followed-up. The sex hormone levels were measured after transplantation, and the ovarian function was evaluated. Independent sample t test and χ2 test were used for comparison between the two groups. Results:The median age of the 147 patients was 26 (range, 10-45) years. Of them, 135 patients received allogeneic HSCT and 12 patients received autologous HSCT. Furthermore, 129 patients received myeloablative conditioning, and 18 patients received reduced conditioning dose. The median follow-up time was 50 months (range, 18-134 months). Five patients died of disease recurrence during follow-up. Of the 54 patients with subcutaneous injection of zoladex, three recovered menstruation spontaneously after transplantation, and all of them were myeloablative conditioning patients, one patient gave birth to twins through assisted reproductive technology. Ninety-three patients did not use zoladex before conditioning, two patients with aplastic anemia with non-myeloablative transplantation resumed menstruation spontaneously, and conceived naturally. The level of follicle stimulating hormone after transplantation in patients receiving myeloablative conditioning regimen was significantly higher than that in patients receiving reduced-dose conditioning regimen [(95.28±3.94) U/L vs. (71.85±10.72) U/L, P=0.039]. Among 147 patients, 122 patients developed premature ovarian failure, 83 patients received sex hormone replacement therapy after transplantation, and 76 patients recovered menstruation and improved endocrine function. Conclusions:The incidence of premature ovarian failure is high in female patients after HSCT, and patients have a chance at natural conception. Reducing the dose of conditioning regimen and the application of zoladex before transplantation can reduce ovarian of conditioning drugs. HRT after transplantation can partially improve the endocrine function of patients.

Objective:To simulate the biomechanical characteristics of the real human thoracic cavity with a multi-spring group variable damping structure, and to design a new cardiopulmonary resuscitation training manikin based on the simulated thoracic biomechanical characteristics combined with the original electronic feedback system, and to test its application effect in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) teaching.Methods:A total of 60 undergraduate students majoring in five-year clinical medicine of Batch 2019 in Naval Medical University were selected as the research objects and were randomly divided into the experimental group and the control group, with 30 students in each group. The control group used the traditional manikin for CPR training, and the experimental group used the new type of manikin for CPR training based on the control group. After the training, the two groups of personnel were assessed for single skill. The single skill was mainly manual CPR operations, including artificial respiration and chest compressions. The theory and skill operation assessment of CPR and satisfaction for teaching method in the two groups were compared. SPSS 23.0 was used for statistical analysis.Results:The students in the experimental group scored (54.33±3.09) points in the single skill operation assessment, which were significantly better than that of the students in the control group [(52.33±3.08) points], and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). The follow-up questionnaire showed that the students in the experimental group had a better evaluation of the teaching and training effect of the new type of manikin. Conclusion:Compared with the traditional manikin, the new CPR manikin can simulate the CPR emergency scene of the real human body, which can effectively improve the CPR teaching effect of standardized training for medical students, and help the standardization, normalization, and popularization of CPR technology in China.

Chronic refractory wound (CRW) is one of the most challengeable issues in clinic due to complex pathogenesis, long course of disease and poor prognosis. Experts need to conduct systematic summary for the diagnosis and treatment of CRW due to complex pathogenesis and poor prognosis, and standard guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of CRW should be created. The Guideline forthe diagnosis and treatment of chronic refractory wounds in orthopedic trauma patients ( version 2023) was created by the expert group organized by the Chinese Association of Orthopedic Surgeons, Chinese Orthopedic Association, Chinese Society of Traumatology, and Trauma Orthopedics and Multiple Traumatology Group of Emergency Resuscitation Committee of Chinese Medical Doctor Association after the clinical problems were chosen based on demand-driven principles and principles of evidence-based medicine. The guideline systematically elaborated CRW from aspects of the epidemiology, diagnosis, treatment, postoperative management, complication prevention and comorbidity management, and rehabilitation and health education, and 9 recommendations were finally proposed to provide a reliable clinical reference for the diagnosis and treatment of CRW.
