Objective To analyze the occurrence and predictive factors of early death(ED)in elderly(≥60 years old)patients with newly diagnosed acute promyelocytic leukemia(APL)induced by single-agent arsenic trioxide(ATO).Methods The clinical da-ta of 71 consecutive elderly APL patients and 456 consecutive young APL patients were collected.Ten clinical and laboratory parameters,which could be obtained rapidly by clinicians were selected.Chi-square test and Logistic regression analysis were used for statistical a-nalysis.Results The ED rate in elderly patients(22.5％,16/71)was higher than that in young patients(15.1％,69/456),but the difference was not statistically significant(P=0.115).The incidence of infection-related ED(8.5％)and thrombosis-related ED(2.3％)in elderly patients was significantly higher than that in young patients(2.0％and 0.3％,respectively),and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.01).Peripheral white blood cell count＞10 × 109/L and male were independent risk factors for ED in both the elderly and young patients.And hypoalbuminemia(P＜0.001)and plasma fibrinogen＜1g/L(P=0.001)were still independent risk factors for ED only in young patients.Conclusion When induced by single-agent ATO,the elderly APL patients were significantly different from the young patients in terms of clinical features,incidence and risk factors of ED.Therefore age-stratified study on ED in APL is necessary.

Objective To investigate vascular remodeling and low-density lipoprotein(LDL)deposition,the growth and development trends of lateral branch plaques in bifurcated vessels,and the potential locations of subsequent plaque growth due to the presence of plaques.Methods An idealized model of bifurcated vessels was established and the distribution of wall shear stress before and after the growth of edge-branch plaques was obtained using computational fluid dynamics.Seven sections were intercepted in the areas of low shear stress:planes 1-3 were the low shear stress areas on the lateral branch before plaque formation,planes 4-5 were the proximal and distal edges of the plaque,and planes 6-7 were the lower shear stress areas of the plaque.Vascular remodeling and LDL deposition in the cross section were simulated.The growth and development trends of plaques are also discussed.Results Among planes 1-3,plane 2 produced obvious negative remodeling and the highest concentration of LDL deposition(102.266 mmol/L),thereby indicating that this was the initial location of the atherosclerotic plaque.Compared to plane 4,plane 5 produced more pronounced vascular remodeling,lumen narrowing,and the highest deposition concentration(110.17 mmol/L)after plaque formation,which indicated that the patch had a tendency for eccentric growth downstream.Compared to plane 6,plane 7(blood flow separation reattachment site)produced more negative remodeling and the highest deposition concentration(93.851 mmol/L),thereby indicating the possibility of new plaque formation near the reattachment point of blood flow separation.Conclusions Obvious vascular remodeling at low shear stress in the lateral branches leads to lumen stenosis and high LDL deposition,thus,forming atherosclerotic plaques.The lateral wall of the bifurcated blood vessels is the initial location of atherosclerotic plaque growth.After growth,the plaque tends to develop downstream,and subsequent plaques may form at the flow separation and reattachment points.

Objective:To investigate the effect of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) on the differentiation of orbital fibroblasts (OF) in thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy (TAO) and its regulation mechanism.Methods:Six patients (six eyes) diagnosed with TAO were collected in Tianjin Medical University Eye Hospital from December 2019 to August 2020.Adipose connective tissue was collected during the orbital decompression surgery.OF was isolated and cultured using the tissue block method and vimentin was identified by immunofluorescence.Lipogenic differentiation of OF was induced and identified by oil red O staining.Complete culture medium containing 0, 0.1, 1.0 and 10.0 μg/L TNF-α was used to induce the dedifferentiation of orbital mature adipocytes.Primary culturing cells, 14-day differentiation cells and 20-day dedifferentiation cells were collected.The relative mRNA expression levels of peroxisomal proliferation-activated receptor (PPARγ), extracellular regulatory protein kinase1 (ERK1), ERK2 and fat-coated protein1 (perilipin1) were detected by real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR.The relative protein expression levels of PPARγ, P-ERK1/2 and perilipin1 were detected by Western blot.Results:Human TAO-derived OF were successfully cultured in vitro, spindle-shaped or polygonal, tightly arranged in a vortex pattern, and immunofluorescence staining for vimentin was positive.After OF adipogenic differentiation, lipid droplet structures could be seen in the cytoplasm of some cells, and the stained lipid droplet structures in the cytoplasm could be seen by oil red O staining, which confirmed that the cells obtained after differentiation were adipocytes.Dedifferentiation of adipocytes was induced by 0.1, 1.0, and 10.0 μg/L TNF-α.With the extension of induction time, the volume of lipid droplets in the cytoplasm and the number of cells containing lipid droplets decreased.Lipid droplets disappeared in the cytoplasm on the 20th day of dedifferentiation, and the cells became long spindle-shaped and tightly arranged, dedifferentiated into fibroblast-like cells.Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR detection results showed that the relative expression levels of PPARγ, ERK1, ERK2 and perilipin1 mRNA in 14-day differentiation group were 4.26±0.09, 2.01±0.09, 3.23±0.10 and 8.69±0.33, respectively, which were significantly higher than 1.00±0.09, 1.05±0.19, 1.00±0.10 and 1.05±0.07 in primary group, and 1.06±0.03, 1.15±0.11 and 6.27±0.09 in 20-day dedifferentiation group (all at P<0.05). Western blot analysis showed that the expression levels of PPARγ, ERK1/2 and perilipin1 proteins in 14-day differentiation group were 1.07±0.03, 1.00±0.03 and 1.13±0.02, respectively, which were significantly higher than 0.37±0.02, 0.29±0.02 and 0.00±0.00 in primary group, and 0.20±0.02, 0.38±0.06 and 0.00±0.00 in 20-day dedifferentiation group (all at P<0.001). Conclusions:TNF-α has a dedifferentiation effect on TAO orbital adipocytes.The mechanism may be related to the downregulation of ERK1/2-PPARγ-perilipin1 signaling pathway.

Tripterygium glycosides tablet(TGT),the classical commercial drug of Tripterygium wilfordii Hook.F.has been effectively used in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis,nephrotic syndrome,leprosy,Behcet's syndrome,leprosy reaction and autoimmune hepatitis.However,due to its narrow and limited treatment window,TGT-induced organ toxicity(among which liver injury accounts for about 40％of clinical reports)has gained increasing attention.The present study aimed to clarify the cellular and molecular events underlying TGT-induced acute liver injury using single-cell RNA sequencing(scRNA-seq)technology.The TGT-induced acute liver injury mouse model was constructed through short-term TGT exposure and further verified by hematoxylin-eosin staining and liver function-related serum indicators,including alanine aminotransferase,aspartate aminotransferase,alkaline phosphatase and total bilirubin.Using the mouse model,we identified 15 specific subtypes of cells in the liver tissue,including endothelial cells,hepatocytes,cholangiocytes,and hepatic stellate cells.Further analysis indicated that TGT caused a significant inflammatory response in liver endothelial cells at different spatial locations;led to marked inflammatory response,apoptosis and fatty acid metabolism dysfunction in hepatocytes;activated he-patic stellate cells;brought about the activation,inflammation,and phagocytosis of liver capsular macrophages cells;resulted in immune dysfunction of liver lymphocytes;disturbed the intercellular crosstalk in liver microenvironment by regulating various signaling pathways.Thus,these findings elaborate the mechanism underlying TGT-induced acute liver injury,provide new insights into the safe and rational applications in the clinic,and complement the identification of new biomarkers and ther-apeutic targets for liver protection.

ObjectiveTo investigate the protective effect of cytochrome P4502D6 （CYP2D6） and cytochrome P4503A4 （CYP3A4）， key enzymes of drug metabolism in liver， on acute liver injury in water extract of Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma （WEOGRR）. MethodHealthy male Kunming mice were divided into normal group， model group， WEOGRR low-， medium- and high-dose groups （5， 10， 15 g·kg^-1·d^-1） and positive drug group （diammonium glycyrrhizinate， 75 mg·kg^-1·d^-1）， with 10 in each group. One week after preventive administration， acute liver injury model was induced by single intragastric administration of 270 mg·kg^-1 Tripterygium Glycosides tablets， and samples were collected after 18 h. The pathological changes of liver were observed by hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining. Serum liver function indexes including alanine aminotransferase （ALT）， aspartate aminotransferase （AST）， γ-glutamyl transpeptadase （γ-GT）， alkaline phosphatase （ALP）， and total bilirubin （TBIL） as well as the levels of oxidative stress indexes including malondialdehyde （MDA） and superoxide dismutase （SOD） in hepatocytes were determined by biochemical method. Real-time polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR） and Western blot were performed to detect the mRNA and protein expression levels of CYP2D6 and CYP3A4， respectively. ResultCompared with normal group， model group had significant hepatocyte swelling and inflammatory cell infiltration （P<0.01）， increased AST， ALT， γ-GT， ALP and TBIL （P<0.05）， elevated MDA and decreased SOD （P<0.01） as well as down-regulated mRNA and protein expression levels of CYP2D6 and CYP3A4 （P<0.05）. Compared with the model group， the normal group had intact liver structure without obvious abnormality， and the WEOGRR groups and positive drug group presented alleviated hepatocyte swelling and inflammatory cell infiltration （P<0.01）， reduced AST， ALT， γ-GT， ALP and TBIL （P<0.01）， lowered MDA and increased SOD （P<0.01） as well as up-regulated expression levels of CYP2D6 and CYP3A4 （P<0.01）. ConclusionThe protective effect of WEOGRR on acute liver injury induced by Tripterygium glycosides tablets may be related to reducing the contents of AST， ALT， γ-GT， ALP and TBIL in serum， inhibiting MDA and increasing the activity of SOD in liver cells， and enhancing the activities of CYP2D6 and CYP3A4， thus accelerating the metabolism of toxic substances.

ObjectiveTo investigate the pharmacodynamic characteristics and explore the molecular mechanism of Honghua oral liquid （HOL） in relieving neuropathic pain （NP）. MethodHealthy male SD rats were randomly assigned into sham group， model group， low-， medium-， high-dose （0.5， 1.0， 2.0 mL·kg^-1·d^-1， respectively） HOL groups， and a positive drug （pregabalin， 25 mg·kg^-1·d^-1） group， with 6 rats in each group. Spinal nerve ligation （SNL） of L5 was conducted in other groups except the sham group. Drug administration was performed 3 days after the SNL surgery for 2 consecutive weeks， and samples were collected after the end of the administration. During the treatment period， the mechanical pain threshold and cold pain threshold were determined to measure the pain-relieving effect of HOL. Transcriptome sequencing was performed on hippocampal tissue samples from the sham， model， and high-dose HOL groups， and differentially expressed genes between the sham group and the model group as well as the model group and HOL high-dose group were obtained. After pathway enrichment analysis， we selected the targets which were closely related to neuroinflammation for validation， and predicted the specific binding sites of the major active components in HOL with the targets through molecular docking. In addition， the serum levels of tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α） and interleukin-10 （IL-10） were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA） to evaluate the effect of HOL on neuroinflammation in NP rats. ResultCompared with the sham group， SNL decreased the mechanical pain threshold and cold pain threshold （P<0.05）. Compared with the model group， HOL recovered the mechanical pain threshold and cold pain threshold （P<0.05）. The transcriptome data showed that 376 differentially expressed genes （DEGs） were identified between the model group and the sham group， including 124 upregulated genes and 252 downregulated genes， and 194 DEGs between the model group and the high-dose HOL group， including 33 upregulated genes and 161 downregulated genes. Among them， insulin-like growth factor 1（IGF1）， matrix metallopeptidase-2 （MMP-2）， matrix metallopeptidase-14 （MMP-14）， erb-B2 receptor tyrosine kinase 2 （ERBB2）， and integrin subunit alpha 5 （ITGA5） associated with NP were selected for further validation. The Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction（Real-time PCR） results showed that compared with the sham group， the modeling up-gurelated the mRNA levels of the above five molecules in the hippocampus （P<0.01）. Compared with model group， HOL down-regulated the mRNA levels of these molecules （P<0.01）. The molecular docking results showed that the main active components of safflower， hydroxysafflor yellow A， kaempferol， and quercetin， formed stable hydrogen bonds with the amino acid residues of IGF1， MMP-2， MMP-14， ERBB2， and ITGA5. The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay（ELISA） results showed that compared with those in the sham group， the serum levels of TNF-α and IL-10 were out of balance in the model rats （P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， HOL lowered the level of the pro-inflammatory cytokine TNF-α （P<0.01） and elevated that of the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 （P<0.05）. ConclusionHOL exerts analgesic effect on SNL rats by inhibiting neuroinflammation.

Objective To evaluate the value of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in screening for prostate cancer. Methods A total of 120 patients with a confirmed diagnosis of prostate cancer were enrolled in Nanjing Municipal First Hospital from March 2020 to March 2023, and 100 age-matched health volunteers during the study period served as controls. All patients and healthy individuals received prostate MRI scanning, and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) was estimated. Post-surgical pathology was used as a gold standard to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of MRI in screening for prostate cancer. The correlation between pathological staging and ADC values in prostate cancer patients was investigated using Spearman correlation analysis. Results The mean ADC values were (1.01 ± 0.15) × 10⁻³, (0.88 ± 0.21) × 10⁻³, (0.72 ± 0.11) × 10⁻³, and (0.59 ± 0.09) × 10⁻³ mm²/s, respectively, for stage A, B, C, and D prostate cancer patients, and the differences were significant (F = 38.99, P < 0.01).Pearson correlation analysis showed a significant negative correlation between pathological staging and ADC value (r = −0.81, P < 0.05). In addition, the sensitivity and specificity of MRI in prostate cancer screening were 92.50% and 91.00%, respectively. Conclusion MRI shows a high value in screening for prostate cancer, and the ADC value is of great significance for staging prostate cancer.

Objective:To explore the clinical manifestations and genetic characteristics of Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome (WHS) to improve the ability of diagnosis and differential diagnosis of the disease.Methods:The clinical features and auxiliary examinations and treatment of a proband with WHS caused by microdeletion of 4p16.3 segment who admitted to the Third Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University in December 2021 were recorded, and whole exome sequencing (WES) of the family was performed. The prognosis was followed up.Results:The female proband, 11 months old, presented with convulsions at the age of 8 months, with the characteristics of heat sensitivity and cluster seizures, and her identical twin sister had a similar medical history. Physical examination found malnutrition, retarded development, special face, prominent forehead, wide nasal bridge, small jaw, precordial murmur and grade 3/6 murmur in the whole period, hyperactivity of P2, and low limb muscle tone. The whole exon and copy number variation (CNV) test of the family revealed that the proband had a 1.99 Mb heterozygous deletion in the chromosome 4p16.3 segment, including WHSC1 (NSD2), WHSC2 (NEFLA) and other genes. Copy number variation sequencing (CNV-Seq) of the proband and her sister showed 1.97 and 1.92 Mb heterozygous deletion of chromosome 4p16.3, respectively. Genealogical analysis by quantitative polymerase chain reaction revealed that the CNV was de novo, and it was determined to be a pathogenic variant according to the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics guidelines. The proband took sodium valproate orally, and her sister took oral sodium valproate, zonisamide, and levetiracetam successively, and at the same time they received family rehabilitation training. The age at the last follow-up was 1 year and 8 months. Neither of them had convulsions again in the past 3 months, but the developmental delay was obvious. Conclusion:WHS patients may present with growth retardation, epilepsy, Greek warrior helmet-like special face, and congenital heart disease, and may have microdeletions in the chromosome 4p16.3 segment.
