Tuberous sclerosis complex(TSC)is a rare genetic disease that can lead to benign dysplasia in multiple organs such as the skin, brain, eyes, oral cavity, heart, lungs, kidneys, liver, and bones. Its main symptoms include epilepsy, intellectual disabilities, skin depigmentation, and facial angiofibromas, whilst incidence is approximately 1 in 10 000 to 1 in 6000 newborns. This case presents a middle-aged woman who initially manifested with epilepsy and nodular depigmentation. Later, she developed a lower abdominal mass, elevated creatinine, and severe anemia. Based on clinical features and whole exome sequencing, the primary diagnosis was confirmed as TSC. Laboratory and imaging examinations revealed that the lower abdominal mass originated from the uterus. CT-guided biopsy pathology and surgical pathology suggested a combination of leiomyoma and abscess. With the involvement of multiple organs and various complications beyond the main diagnosis, the diagnostic and therapeutic process for this patient highlights the importance of rigorous clinical thinking and multidisciplinary collaboration in the diagnosis and treatment of rare and challenging diseases.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of azacitidine combined with HAG regimen in the treatment of newly diagnosed elderly acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients ineligible for intensive chemotherapy.Methods:Eighteen newly diagnosed elderly AML patients ineligible for intensive chemotherapy from July 2019 to September 2021 in the Second People's Hospital of Shenzhen were prospectively enrolled in this study. They were non-randomly divided into azacitidine combined with HAG regimen (AZA-HAG) group (9 cases) and decitabine combined with HAG regimen (DEC-HAG) group (9 cases). The primary endpoint of the study was overall response [complete remission (CR)+partial remission], and the secondary endpoints included CR + complete remission with incomplete count recovery (CRi), overall survival (OS) and drug safety. Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyze the OS.Results:The median age of 18 patients was 67 years old (60-77 years old) , and 8 of them were in high-risk group. After one course of treatment, the overall response and CR+CRi were observed in 7 of 9 patients in AZA-HAG group, and they were observed in 8 of 9 patients in DEC-HAG group, and there was no significant difference between the two groups (both P = 1.000). The median duration of CR+CRi was 7 months in both groups, and the median OS time was 12 months in both groups; there was no significant difference in OS between the two groups ( χ2 = 0.02, P = 0.895). In AZA-HAG group, 1 patient with TP53 mutation and 1 patient with ASXL1+RUNX1 mutation acquired CR, and 1 patient with NPM1 wild-type combined with FLT3-ITD and ASXL1 mutation did not respond. There was no significant difference in the incidence of grade 3-4 hematological adverse reactions between the two groups (all P < 0.05). Conclusions:Azacitidine combined with low-dose HAG regimen in the treatment of newly diagnosed elderly AML patients ineligible for intensive chemotherapy has satisfactory efficacy and long-term survival, and the adverse reactions can be tolerated.

Chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR-T) is a kind of adoptive cell immunotherapy, in which T cells are genetically modified to exert targeted killing effect on tumors. CAR-T cell therapy has shown remarkable antitumor efficacy for the treatment of tumors, especially for hematological malignancies, but is less effective in solid tumors. Single-target CAR-T is prone to off-target effect during application, and there is a risk of relapse or more refractory treatment. The development of double-target or multi-target CAR-T is expected to extend the antigen coverage of target cells, effectively avoids antigen escape and prevents tumor recurrence, and prolongs the survival time of patients. This article reviews the advances of multi-target chimeric antigen receptor T cell, and discusses the prospect of its development.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between urinary polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons(PAHs) metabolites and pulmonary function in community population.Methods:A total of 4 812 participants were recruited from two communities in Wuhan city from April to May 2011 and two communities in Zhuhai city in May 2012. Information of demographic characteristics and life style was collected by semi-structural questionnaire. Physical examination was performed and pulmonary function was measured. Morning urine was also collected. The concentration of 12 urinary PAHs metabolites was tested and classified into four types by chemical structure, including hydroxynaphthalene, hydroxyfluorene, hydroxyphenanthrene and hydroxypyrene. The level of pulmonary function in different group of urinary PAHs metabolites was compared by using covariance analysis. The association of the urinary PAHs metabolites and pulmonary function was analyzed by using generalized linear model, and the interaction of different population characteristics and life style on the association was analyzed.Results:The age of participants was(51.99±13.64) years old, and 67.66% ( n=2 565) of the population were women. The M ( P25, P75) of concentration of total urinary PAHs metabolites was 5.72 (3.91,8.72) μg/mmol Cr. After controlling for variables including age, gender, city, Waist-to-Hip Ratio, smoking status, drinking situation, physical activity, cooking meals at home or not, kitchen ventilation and exposure to dust as confounding factors, generalized linear model showed that each 1-unit increase in log-transformed levels of hydroxynaphthalene, hydroxyfluorene, hydroxyphenanthrene, hydroxypyrene and total PAHs was associated with 26.83 (95% CI: -48.18, -5.48) , 21.86 (95% CI: -40.49, -3.23), 26.18(95% CI: -48.27, -4.09), 34.95 (95% CI: -55.95, -13.94), and 35.23 (95% CI: -58.93, -11.54) ml reduction of FVC and 29.36 (95% CI: -47.23, -11.48), 20.79 (95% CI: -36.39, -5.19), 22.65 (95% CI: -41.15, -4.15), 31.44(95% CI: -49.03, -13.85), and 33.20 (95% CI: -53.04, -13.36) ml reduction of FEV 1 respectively (all P values<0.05). Compared to non-alcohol users and participants with home cooking, the association was more evident in alcohol users and participants without home cooking( P for interaction<0.05).

Objective:
To understand the epidemiologic features of the rabies in Xishuang banna prefecture of Yunnan province, China in 2008-2017 and the viral molecular-evolution characteristics.
Methods:
The data of rabies case questionnaire were collected. The brain tissue samples from mad dogs, suspicious sick dogs and human brain tissue, saliva and cerebrospinal fluid samples from rabies patients were collected in Xishuangbanna. Coding region of nucleoprotein and glycoprotein genes were amplified by RT-PCR and sequenced. Homology and phylogenetic analysis were performed using the relevant bioinformatics software.
Results:
A total of 62 cases of human rabies were occurred in 28 districts of the 3 counties, Xishuangbanna prefecture in 2008-2017. Of them, 37 cases in Jinghong county, 15 in Menghai county and 10 in Mengla county. In which 48 cases were bitten by domestic dogs (77.42%), 11 cases were bitten by wild dogs (17.74%). Rabies case was occurred every year in the past decade. The seasonal incidence was not obvious. The majority of patients were aged from 30 to 59 years-old, with the youngest 1 year-old and the eldest 91 year-old. The male to female ratio was 1.70∶1, most cases were farmers. The nucleotide sequences of nucleoprotein gene of 9 virus strains (7 from Jinghong, 1 from Menghai and 1 from Mengla) were obtained from the samples of dogs and patients. Homology and phylogenetic analyses indicated that the 5 strains belonged to clade China-Ⅰ, 3 clade China-Ⅱ and 1 clade China-Ⅵ. The nucleotide sequences of glycoprotein gene of 5 virus strains (3 from Jinghong, 1 from Menghai and 1 from Mengla) were obtained from these positive samples, and all were clade China-Ⅰ, it is same with nucleoprotein genes analysis result from these 5 virus strains. These China-Ⅰ and China-Ⅱ strains from Xishuangbanna have a closer genetic relationship with same clade strains isolated from Pu’er and other prefectures of Yunnan province as well as Sichuan, Guizhou and Guangxi. The China-Ⅵ strain from Xishuangbanna share high homology and genetic relationship with China-Ⅵ strains isolated from southwestern Yunnan and neighbouring countries such as Myanmar, Laos and Vietnam in recent years.
Conclusions
In Xishuangbanna, rabies mainly occurred in rural area and domestic dog was the main source of transmission. These RABV clades China-Ⅰ, China-Ⅱ and China-Ⅵ were found in this region and the China-Ⅰ was principal clade. The transmission source of China-Ⅰ and China-Ⅱ were from adjacent areas in the province and China-Ⅵ was from Myanmar and Laos.
