Objective:Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) cell lines were established using peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from a patient suffering from neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (NRDS) who carried Adenosine triphosphate-binding cassette transporter A3 ( ABCA3) compound heterozygous mutations. Methods:Cell experimental research.Peripheral venous blood was collected and PBMCs were isolated and cultured in vitro. PBMCs were transfected with non-integrated Sendai vector carrying reprogramming factors.The chromosome karyotypes of the established iPSCs were analyzed.Immunofluorescence and flow cytometry were used to detect pluripotency markers of stem cells and verify their differentiation potential.Sanger sequencing was performed to analyze gene mutations.In addition, short tandem repeat (STR) analysis was performed, polymerase chain reaction(PCR) and agarose gel electrophoresis were used to detect virus residual. Results:Karyotype analysis of established iPSCs cell lines showed normal diploid 46, XY karyotype.Immunofluorescence showed positive staining of stem cell pluripotency markers OCT4, SSEA4, Nanog and Sox2.Flow cytometry was used to detected stem cell pluripotency markers and showed expression of TRA-1-60, SSEA-4 and OCT4.After differentiation into all three germ layers, immunofluorescence was performed to detect ectoderm (Pax-6), mesoderm (Brachyury) and endoderm alpha-fetoprotein markers, and the results showed positive staining, which confirmed that the iPSCs had the potential to differentiate.Sanger sequencing showed c. 3997_3998del and c. 3137C>T compound heterozygous mutations.STR analysis showed they originate from PBMCs, and no Sendai virus residual was detected by PCR and agarose gel electrophoresis.Conclusions:In this study, PBMCs from patient carrying ABCA3 compound heterozygous mutations was used to establish iPSCs cell lines.The research lays a foundation for the study of pathogenesis, therapeutic drug screening and cell therapy of NRDS caused by ABCA3 gene mutations.

BACKGROUND:Previous literature reported that the fusion cage moved more than 2 mm from its original position,which means that the fusion cage moved backward.At present,clinical observation has found that the factors leading to the displacement of the fusion cage are complex,and the relationship between these factors and the cage retropulsion is not clear. OBJECTIVE:To explore the risk factors related to cage retropulsion after lumbar interbody fusion. METHODS:Retrospective analysis was conducted in 200 patients who underwent transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion surgery with a polyetheretherketone interbody fusion from February 2020 to February 2022.According to the distance from the posterior edge of the vertebral fusion cage to the posterior edge of the vertebral body after the operation(the second day after the removal of the drainage tube)and 1,3,6 and 12 months after the operation,patients were divided into cage retropulsion group(≥2 mm)and cage non-retropulsion group(<2 mm).The factors that may affect cage retropulsion,such as age,gender,body mass index,bone mineral density,operation time,bleeding,endplate injury,preoperative and postoperative interbody height,cage implantation depth,cage size,and segmental anterior convexity angle,were analyzed by univariate and logistic regression analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Posterior displacement of the fusion cage occurred in 15 cases(15/200).The differences in basic information such as age and body mass index between the two groups were not statistically significant.(2)The results of the univariate analysis were that gap height difference,time to wear a brace,segmental anterior convexity angle difference,bone mineral density,and age were related to posterior migration of the cage.(3)The results of logistic regression analysis were that cage size,endplate injury condition,and depth of cage implantation were risk factors for cage retropulsion.(4)These findings suggest that cage retropulsion after lumbar interbody fusion is caused by multiple factors,including segmental anterior convexity angle difference,bone mineral density,cage size,endplate damage,time to wear a brace,and depth of cage implantation.

Parkinson disease is a common neurodegenerative disease.At present,the main therapeutic drugs have problems such as adverse reactions,lack of targeting,and low bioavailability.The development of new drugs is an important direction for research related to Parkinson disease.TCM flavonoids have various pharmacological activities and are widely used in anti-tumor and cardiovascular disease treatment,but there is relatively little research on their intervention in neurological diseases.This article elaborated on the mechanism of intervention of TCM flavonoids in Parkinson disease and summarized treatment strategies from six categories:flavonoids,flavonols,isoflavones,flavonoid glycosides,dihydroflavonols,and others,with the purpose to provide reference for the research and clinical application of TCM flavonoids.

Objective To investigate the characteristics and rules of tongue image in patients with chronic fatigue syndrome(CFS)with different fatigue degree.Methods Totally 917 patients with severe chronic fatigue syndrome(severe CFS group),351 patients with mild chronic fatigue syndrome(mild CFS group)and 1216 healthy controls(healthy control group)were enrolled in the physical examination center of Shuguang Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine.The tongue image data of subjects in the three groups were collected using TFDA-1 digital tongue and face diagnostic instrument,and the color space indexes of RGB,HSI,Lab and YCrCb were used to analyze the tongue image differences of CFS people with different fatigue degrees and the tongue image features of CFS patients with liver-qi stagnation syndrome,damp-heat stasis syndrome and spleen deficiency syndrome.Results Compared with the healthy control group,the tongue image indexes TB-R,TB-G,TB-B,TB-I,TB-L,TB-Y,TC-H,TC-I,TC-L and TC-Y increased in the severe CFS group;TB-S,TB-a,TC-S,TC-a,TC-Cr decreased(P<0.05).TB-R,TB-G,TB-B,TB-I,TB-L,TB-Y,TC-R,TC-G,TC-B,TC-I,TC-L and TC-Y increased in severe CFS group compared with mild CFS group.TB-H and TB-b increased in mild CFS group compared with healthy control group.The comparison of syndromes in severe CFS group showed that TB-a,TB-Cr,TC-S,TC-a,TC-Cr and TB-S increased in liver-qi stagnation syndrome compared to damp-heat stasis syndrome;TB-G,TB-B,TB-I,TB-L,TB-Y,TB-b,TB-Cb,TC-G,TC-B,TC-H,TC-I,TC-L,TC-Y and perAll decreased(P<0.05).Compared with spleen deficiency syndrome,TB-a,TB-Cr,TB-CON,TB-ENT,TB-MEAN,TC-a,TC-Cr,TC-CON,TC-ENT,TC-MEAN increased in liver-qi stagnation syndrome;TB-ASM,TC-S and TC-ASM decreased(P<0.05).Compared with spleen deficiency syndrome,TB-a,TB-b,TB-Cr,TB-Cb,TB-CON,TB-ENT,TB-MEAN,TC-G,TC-B,TC-H,TC-I,TC-L,TC-a,TC-Y,TC-Cr,TC-CON,TC-ENT,TC-MEAN,perAll increased;TB-ASM,TC-S and TC-ASM decreased(P<0.05).The comparison of mild CFS syndrome showed that there was no statistical significance between liver-qi stagnation syndrome and spleen deficiency syndrome(P>0.05).TB-Cr,TC-a,TC-Cr and perAll increased and TC-S decreased in damp-heat stasis syndrome compared with spleen deficiency syndrome(P<0.05).TB-S,TB-a,TB-Cr,TC-S,TC-a,TC-Cr increased,and TB-G,TB-B,TB-I,TB-Cb,TB-b,TC-b and TC-Cb decreased(P<0.05)in liver-qi stagnation syndrome compared with damp-heat syndrome.The distribution trend of TC-S was as follows:dampness-heat syndrome

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.

In recent years,challenges persist in the grassroots Party building in the university-affiliated hospitals though increased efforts have been intensified.These challenges include a lack of alignment between Party building and the hospital's central tasks,an absence of distinctive Party building brands,an insufficiently prominent role of Party organizations in hospital development,and inadequate leveraging of the Party construction for promoting medical services and cultivating medical talents.Starting from an exploration of the connotation and significance of constructing framework of"One Integration and Two Highs"in university-affiliated hospitals,this paper conducts an in-depth analysis of the existing problems and their causes within this frame-work.From a holistic perspective,the paper proposes a new path for establishing the"One Integration and Two Highs"frame-work in university-affiliated hospitals,centered around"Seven Integrations":concept integration,organization integration,strength integration,vehicle integration,culture integration,innovation integration,and assessment integration.

Trastuzumab has improved survival rates in human epidermal growth factor receptor 2(HER2)-positive breast cancer(BC),but drug resistance leads to treatment failure.Natural killer(NK)cell-mediated antibody-dependent cell cytotoxicity(ADCC)represents an essential antitumor immune mechanism of trastuzumab.Traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)has been used for centuries to treat diseases because of its capacity to improve immune responses.Xianling Lianxia formula(XLLXF),based on the principle of"strengthening body and eliminating toxin",exhibits a synergistic effect in the trastuzumab treatment of patients with HER2-positive BC.Notably,this synergistic effect of XLLXF was executed by enhancing NK cells and ADCC,as demonstrated through in vitro co-culture of NK cells and BC cells and in vivo inter-vention experiments.Mechanistically,the augmented impact of XLLXF on NK cells is linked to a decrease in cytokine inducible Src homology 2(SH2)containing protein(CISH)expression,which in turn activates the Janus kinase 1(JAK1)/signal transducer and activator of transcription 5(STAT5)pathway.Collectively,these findings suggested that XLLXF holds promise for enhancing NK cell function and sensitizing pa-tients with HER2-positive BC to trastuzumab.

Background/Aims: Existing hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) prediction models are derived mainly from pretreatment or early on-treatment parameters. We reassessed the dynamic changes in the performance of 17 HCC models in patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) during long-term antiviral therapy (AVT). Methods: Among 987 CHB patients administered long-term entecavir therapy, 660 patients had 8 years of follow-up data. Model scores were calculated using on-treatment values at 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, and 5 years of AVT to predict threeyear HCC occurrence. Model performance was assessed with the area under the receiver operating curve (AUROC). The original model cutoffs to distinguish different levels of HCC risk were evaluated by the log-rank test. Results: The AUROCs of the 17 HCC models varied from 0.51 to 0.78 when using on-treatment scores from years 2.5 to 5. Models with a cirrhosis variable showed numerically higher AUROCs (pooled at 0.65–0.73 for treated, untreated, or mixed treatment models) than models without (treated or mixed models: 0.61–0.68; untreated models: 0.51–0.59). Stratification into low, intermediate, and high-risk levels using the original cutoff values could no longer reflect the true HCC incidence using scores after 3.5 years of AVT for models without cirrhosis and after 4 years of AVT for models with cirrhosis. Conclusions The performance of existing HCC prediction models, especially models without the cirrhosis variable, decreased in CHB patients on long-term AVT. The optimization of existing models or the development of novel models for better HCC prediction during long-term AVT is warranted.

【Objective】 To investigate the compatibility of human albumin and its internal packaging materials of Sinopharm Lanzhou Biopharmaceutical Co., Ltd. 【Methods】 One batch of inner packaging materials (medium borosilicate glass-molded injection bottle and halogenated butyl rubber plug for injection) was extracted with 4 extraction solvents to conduct the toxicological evaluation of potential inner packaging extracts. Through the simulated acceleration test, the trend analysis of the elements in the sample and the inner surface of the glass bottle were observed, and the routine drug inspection items during the long-term stability test process were determined. 【Results】 The detection results of the leaching elements of the internal packaging materials did not exceed the limit of 50%, and the organic matter safety threshold (margin of safety, MOS) was greater than 1.0, indicating that both the leaching elements and the organic matter had no safety risk to the user under the current exposure. The results of the simulated acceleration test show that the drug will not have the risk of peeling tablets after the long-term stability condition was placed for a period of time, and the routine inspection items of the long-term stability test drugs all meet the requirements of the pharmacopoeia. 【Conclusion】 The inner packaging material has no significant impact on the quality of drugs and has good overall compatibility, making it suitable for packaging human albumin.

Objective:To summarize the clinical characteristics of children with dystonia 28 (DYT28) caused by KMT2B gene variations so as to improve clinicians′ understanding of the disease. Methods:The clinical manifestations, treatment and gene variation data of 11 children with DYT28 caused by KMT2B gene variations were retrospectively collected and analyzed.The subjects were recruited from the Department of Neurology, Beijing Children′s Hospital, Capital Medical University from March 2018 to January 2021.The patients were followed up. Results:There were 8 males and 3 females.The age at onset was ranging from 1 month to 6 years without inducement.Eight cases were gene-ralized dystonia and 3 cases were multifocal dystonia.The initial symptoms of 7 cases were unilateral or bilateral lower limbs tiptoeing.Four cases presented dysarthria, retching or swallowing difficulties at onset.As the disease progressed, all the cases had laryngeal dystonia, 10 cases had lower limbs dystonia, and 8 cases had upper limbs dystonia.Six cases were complicated with other dyskinesia symptoms.Ten cases had varying degrees of short stature, microcephalus, micrognathia, musculoskeletal abnormalities, intellectual disability, endocrinopathies and sleep difficulties.The brain magnetic resonance imaging showed abnormal in only 1 case.Eleven KMT2B gene pathogenic variants were found, including 8 frameshift variants, 1 in-frame variant and 2 missense variants.Four variants were novel.Eleven cases were followed up at the age of 1 year and 7 months to 17 years and 9 months.One case wasn′t given therapy.The dystonia in 3 cases was mildly improved after medication.Dysfunction of urination and defecation was disappeared in 1 case after medication.The symptom of 6 cases had no improvement after drug therapy.Among the above 6 cases, 5 drug refractory cases had deep brain stimulation, and their dystonia symptoms are all obviously improved; 2 cases had normal control of urination and defecation after deep brain stimulation.The motor scores in the Burke-Fahn-Marsden dystonia rating scale were improved by 55.8%-90.7%, and the disability scores were improved by 14.8%-69.6%. Conclusions:DYT28 caused by KMT2B gene variations is one of the most common and early-onset genetic dystonia in children.The dystonia symptom progresses from local parts to the whole body, prominently involving laryngeal muscles and lower limbs.Control of urination and defecation requires attention.Patients with mild dystonia symptoms can be effectively treated by drugs.However, patients with severe dystonia symptoms were drug refractory, and their dystonia symptoms can be effectively improved by deep brain stimulation.
