To characterize human antibodies against low-calcium response V(LcrV)antigen of Yersinia pestis,the mono-clonal antibodies were screened and assayed.Antibody gene was derived from peripheral blood mononuclear cells of the vaccin-ees immunized by plague subunit vaccine in phase Ⅱb clinical trial.Human ScFv antibody library was constructed by phage dis-play.After panning library by using recombinant LcrV antigen,antibody variable genes were sequenced and converted into IgG1 format to evaluate its binding specificity and relevant parameters.An anti-plague human ScFv antibody library was estab-lished contained 7.54× 108 independent clones.After panning by LcrV antigen,3 human antibodies named as RV-B4,RV-D1 and RV-E8,respectively,were identified.Using indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)and Western blot(WB),the specific bindings of the mAbs to LcrV antigen were confirmed.The dissociation constant(KD)of them to LcrV is 2.1 nmol/L,1.24 nmol/L and 42 nmol/L,respectively.Minor protective efficacy was found among 3 human antibodies in Y.pestis 141-infected mice.Three anti-LcrV monoclonal antibodies generated from immunized vaccinees were binding specific antibod-ies and could not block plague infection in mice.These antibodies are the potential candidate reagents for basic research of plague immunity and the application of plague diagnosis.

Objective:To observe and evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of albumin-bound paclitaxel as first-line treatment for patients with advanced pancreatic cancer in China, and to explore the prognosis-related molecules in pancreatic cancer based on next-generation sequencing (NGS) of tumor tissues.Methods:From December 2018 to December 2020, patients with locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer were recruited to accept albumin-bound paclitaxel as first-line treatment in the oncology departments of 24 hospitals in East China. The primary endpoints were overall survival (OS) and treatment related adverse events, and the secondary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS). Adverse effects were graded using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events 5.0 (CTCAE 5.0). NGS sequencing on the primary or metastatic tissue samples of pancreatic cancer obtained through surgical resection or biopsy was performed.Results:This study recruited 229 patients, including 70 patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer (LAPC) and 159 patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer (mPC). The disease control rate was 79.9% and the objective response rate is 36.3%.The common adverse effects during treatment were anaemia (159 cases), leucopenia (170 cases), neutropenia (169 cases), increased aminotransferases (110 cases), and thrombocytopenia (95 cases), and the incidence of grade 3-4 neutropenia is 12.2% (28/229). The median follow-up time was 21.2 months (95% CI: 18.5-23.1 months). The median PFS (mPFS) was 5.3 months (95% CI: 4.37-4.07 months) and the median OS (mOS) was 11.2 months (95% CI: 9.5-12.9 months). The mPFS of patients with LAPC was 7.4 months (95% CI: 6.6-11.2 months), and their mOS was 15.5 months (95% CI: 12.6-NA months). The mPFS of patients with mPC was 3.9 months (95% CI: 3.4-5.1 months), and their mOS was 9.3 months (95% CI: 8.0-10.8 months). Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that clinical stage ( HR=1.47, 95% CI: 1.06-2.04), primary tumor site ( HR=0.64, 95% CI: 0.48-0.86), Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status (ECOG PS) score ( HR=2.66, 95% CI: 1.53-4.65), and whether to combine radiotherapy ( HR=0.65, 95% CI: 0.42-1.00) were independent influencing factors for the PFS of these patients. The primary tumor site ( HR=0.68, 95% CI: 0.48-0.95), ECOG score ( HR=5.82, 95% CI: 3.14-10.82), and whether to combine radiotherapy ( HR=0.58, 95% CI: 0.35-0.96) were independent influencing factors of the OS of these patients. The most frequent gene mutations in these advanced stage pancreatic patients were KRAS (89.66%), TP53 (77.01%), CDKN2A (32.18%), and SMAD4 (21.84%) by NGS of tumor tissues from 87 pancreatic cancer patients with sufficient specimens. Further analysis revealed that mutations in CDKN2B, PTEN, FGF6, and RBBP8 genes were significantly associated with an increased risk of death ( P＜0.05). Conclusion:Albumin-bound paclitaxel as first-line treatment demonstrated feasible anti-tumor efficacy and manageable safety for patients with advanced pancreatic cancer in China.

Objective To explore the changes of hemodynamics in pregnant women with uncomplicated dichorionic(DC)twin pregnancy and monochorionic(MC)twin pregnancy,so as to better perform prenatal monitoring.Methods A study was conducted to collect 64 pregnant women with uncomplicated twin pregnancy(41 cases of DC and 23 cases of MC)in the Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital,Fudan University from May 2020 to Sept 2021,and 144 pregnant women with uncomplicated singleton pregnancies in the same period were selected as the control group.During the second trimester(20-28 weeks),conventional echocardiography was performed in pregnant women,and singleton pregnancy was used as the control.The left ventricular systolic,left ventricular diastolic,hemodynamic and cardiac structural parameters of DC and MC twin pregnancy were studied.Results At 20-28 weeks of gestation,compared with singleton pregnancies,the heart rate,mean arterial pressure,cardiac output,cardiac index,stroke volume,left ventricular mass,stroke work index parameters of twin pregnancy were significantly increased,and the total vascular resistance was significantly decreased,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).The distribution of maternal hemodynamic parameters was similar in pregnant women with DC twin and MC twin pregnancy.Compared with DC twin pregnancy,MC twin pregnancy showed a significant increase in cardiac output(5.76 L/min vs.5.36 L/min,P=0.031).Total vascular resistance significantly decreased(1 270 vs.1 407,P=0.037).Conclusion Compared with singleton pregnancy,the hemodynamics of twin pregnancy significantly changed,which ensured the growth and development of the fetus by providing sufficient uteroplacental circulation.The cardiovascular adaptation patterns of DC and MC twin pregnancy were similar,but MC twin pregnancy had higher cardiac output and lower total vascular resistance.Monitoring the cardiac function of twin pregnancy,especially MC twin pregnancy,is very important for the safety of pregnant women.

Objective To investigate the safety and feasibility of repeated recanalization of radial artery occlusion(RAO)in neurointerventional therapy.Methods The clinical data,including general information,surgery,ultrasonography,and surgery-related complications,of 18 patients with cerebrovascular diseases,who developed RAO after receiving transradial access(TRA)intervention at the Xiamen Branch of Affiliated Zhongshan Hospital of Fudan University of China between June 2022 and July 2023,were retrospectively analyzed.Results Of 18 patients,7 received two consecutive same-side TRA procedures and 11 received three consecutive same-side TRA procedures.RAO occurred in all patients after the initial cerebrovascular angiography,and subsequent neurointerventional treatment was successfully accomplished after RAO recanalization.The cerebrovascular diseases included arteriovenous malformations(n=3),arterial aneurysm(n=13),and arterial occlusion(n=2).A total of 29 times of puncturing at the site of RAO thrombus were carried out,including 23 times of successful recanalization(success rate being 79.3％).At(8.8±8.7)days after the first-time RAO recanalization,ultrasonography indicated that successful recanalization was obtained in 14 patients and persistent occlusion was seen in 4 patients.Thirteen patients were followed up for(7.8±2.7)months after the initial RAO recanalization,and the ultrasonography revealed that successful recanalization was obtained in 4 patients and persistent occlusion was seen in 9 patients.No severe complications occurred during the follow-up period.Conclusion In situ puncture of the RAO site after its recanalization to perform neurointerventional treatments is clinically safe and feasible.

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 explore a blood cell recognition algorithm that combined threshold image segmentation with deep learning in conventional image processing,so as to be used in automatic recognition and classification of blood cell smears.Method:Global threshold segmentation was used to extract blood cells from blood cell smears and to store them separately.The segmented cell images were manually labeled and classified so as to reduce the requirements for hardware in subsequent processing.The deep learning training of labeled images was on the basis of the GoogLeNet pre training model,which could generate deep learning model of automatic recognition that could be used in the images of blood cell smear.The trained model could be used to evaluate the test set,and generate confusion matrix and area under curve(AUC)value of receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve.Result:This preprocessing has been proven that it can improve the training of deep learning model,and the subsequent recognition speed of using model can exceed over 10 times.Using the online image dataset Raabin WBC Data of blood cell smear,the accuracy of model training reached to 93.06%.Both of them obtained favorable results.Conclusion:The blood cell recognition algorithm based on the combination of threshold image segmentation and deep learning can greatly improve the efficiency of recognition and classification of blood cells,and ensure accuracy of the diagnosis of blood related diseases.

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 This study was to explore factors related to early radial artery occlusion(RAO)associated transradial approach(TRA).Methods Patients who underwent the TRA from July 2021 to Jan 2024 were included in our study.Patients were divided into radial artery occlusion group and non-radial artery occlusion group.The data of general demography,the number of radial artery punctures attempts,and whether add heparin to the Antispasmodic Agents were recorded to assess the incidence and predictors of RAO.Results A total of 543 patients were included in the study.All patients underwent ultrasound evaluation 24h after DSA.Among them,32 cases experienced RAO,while 511 cases did not experienced RAO.The occurrence rate of RAO was significantly higher in patients without addition of heparin to the antispasmodic agents for the prevention of radial artery spasm,those with more than 3 radial artery puncture attempts and those using either an 11 cm short sheath,or Cordis puncture needles(all P<0.05).Multiple logistic analysis showed that addition of heparin to the Antispasmodic Agents(OR=0.076,95% CI:0.018～0.321,P<0.001),less than 3 radial artery puncture attempts(OR=0.245,95% CI:0.111～0.541,P<0.001),using an 16 cm longer sheath(OR=0.195,95% CI:0.067～0.564,P=0.003),using an Terumo puncture needles(OR=0.325,95% CI:0.148～0.717,P=0.005)could reduce the incidence of RAO.Conclusions Anticoagulation with intrathecal heparin,application of trocar to improve the success rate of puncture,and the use of a 16 cm long sheath can significantly reduce the incidence of early RAO after DSA.

Exosomes can ameliorate neuronal cell injury induced by hypoxia-ischemia,but the relation-ship between astrocyte-derived exosomes(As-exo)and mitochondrial function,mitochondrial associated ER membrane(MAM)function and whether mitochondrial autophagy is relevant is currently unclear.The aim of this study was to investigate the role of astrocyte-derived exosomes in the regulation of mito-chondrial function,MAM and mitochondrial autophagy in PC 12 cells after oxygen and glucose depriva-tion/reoxygenation(OGD/R).Exosomes were extracted from the supernatant of the astrocyte culture me-dium by ultracentrifugation.Using the live cell imaging system,we observed that fluorescently labeled exosomes could show obvious enrichment in PC 12 cells at 24 h.Meanwhile,co-localization of exosomes with mitochondria could be observed under the laser confocal scanning microscope;mitochondrial pres-sure changes were detected using the Seahorse cellular energy metabolism fractionation instrument.The result showed that basal respiration in the OGD/R group,compared with that in the control group,proton leakage,maximal respiration and ATP-related respiration were significantly reduced(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01),and all four indexes were elevated and statistically significant in the OGD/R+exo group compared with the control group(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01).The results of the co-localization of the mitochondria and ER showed that the structure of the MAM was harmed by oxygen-sugar deprivation and then reoxygen-ation,and the structure of As-exo and the mitochondria appeared to have a distance-reduced polymeriza-tion phenomenon,while the mitochondria and ER co-localized.The co-localization results of mitochondri-a and ER showed that the structure of MAM was damaged by oxygen deprivation and reoxygenation,and the aggregation phenomenon of MAM was weakened by the treatment of As-exo;the flow-through results showed that As-exo could restore the decrease of the mitochondrial membrane potential and the elevation of the ROS by oxygen deprivation to a certain degree.Western blotting showed that As-exo could signifi-cantly inhibit the mitochondrial autophagy-associated tension protein homologue induced hypothetical ki-nase 1(PTEN induced kinase 1(PINK1)and Parkin protein(parkin RBR E3 ubiquitin protein ligase(Parkin))were elevated,and the addition of As-exo decreased LC3 Ⅱ/LC3 Ⅰ protein expression,ele-vated P62 protein expression,and reduced OGD/R-induced mitochondrial autophagy.The results showed that OGD/R treatment can cause mitochondrial dysfunction,MAM structural changes and increased mito-chondrial autophagy in PC12 cells,and As-exo treatment can improve mitochondrial function,attenuate the formation of MAM,and reduce mitochondrial autophagy in PC 12 cells,which can have the potential of preventing the reperfusion injury in ischemic stroke.
