Objective: To investigate the effects and mechanisms of Xuebijing injection (XBJ) on Chimeric antigen receptor-T (CAR-T) cell function and its therapeutic potential against CAR-T therapy-associated cytokine storms (CRS). Methods: Anti-CD19 CAR-T cells were established based on FMC63 antibodies. Different doses of XBJ (1 and 10 mg/mL) were added to the culture system. Untreated anti-CD19 CAR-T cells served as negative controls. After 48-h co-culture, the effects of XBJ on CAR-T cell function were assessed. Carboxyfluorescein diacetate succinimidyl ester staining was used to assess the effect of XBJ on CAR-T cell proliferation. Flow cytometry, luciferase reporter gene assays, and real time cellular analysis were employed to evaluate the effects of XBJ on CAR-T cell cytotoxicity in vitro. RNA-sequencing was performed to analyze the effects of XBJ on CAR-T cell gene expression. Network pharmacology predicted potential XBJ therapeutic targets for CRS, which were verified in a THP-1 macrophage inflammation model. Results: XBJ enhanced both the proliferation and tumor killing capacities of CAR-T cells. Transcriptome analysis showed that XBJ treatment affects multiple genes and pathways in CAR-T cells, with differential gene enrichment in multiple cell proliferation and growth factor pathways. Potential targets for CRS control by XBJ were predicted using network pharmacology, and the inhibitory effect of XBJ on the expression of relevant genes was verified using a macrophage model. Conclusion The results of this study indicate that XBJ can enhance the killing effect of CAR-T cells on tumor cells and that the mechanism is related to the regulation of T cell proliferation and activation. Moreover, XBJ inhibited excessive inflammation associated with CAR-T therapy. However, the current findings remain to be further validated through in vivo experiments.

Objective:To determine the incidence of adrenal incidentalomas(AIs) in patients with diabetes mellitus and the metabolism profiles.Methods:A total of 615 hospitalized patients with diabetes mellitus in the Department of Endocrinology and Metabolism of Peking University People′s Hospital from March 2020 to May 2021 were retrospectively included in this study. AIs were screened by unenhanced chest computed tomography(CT) retrospectively and subsequently confirmed by multiplanar reconstruction. Participants′ physical indicators, metabolic profiles, and adrenal function parameters were collected. Unpaired t test, Mann-Whitney U test, and Chi-Square test were adopted to compare the metabolism profiles between diabetes mellitus patients with or without AIs. Regression models were used to estimate the correlations between AIs and the metabolism profiles such as blood glucose, blood lipids, blood pressure, and the adrenal function parameters.Results:Twenty-seven out of 615 participants were detected with AIs(4.4%). Patients with AIs had higher body mass index, waist circumference, and hip circumference than patients without AIs [(29.4±5.1)kg/m 2vs(26.8±3.8)kg/m 2,P=0.018; (102.3±11.7)cm vs(95.8±10.3)cm, P=0.002; (107.3±10.1)cm vs(101.4±7.6)cm, P=0.008]. The levels of serum uric acid and urinary albumin/creatinine ratio were also significantly increased in patients with AIs [(409.6±118.1)μmol/L vs(357.4±100.6)μmol/L, P=0.009; 21.25(7.49, 180.24)mg/g vs 8.60(4.71, 34.56)mg/g, P=0.010]. Besides, individuals with AIs were also associated with a higher risk of co-existing hypertension( P=0.045). Conclusion:The incidence of AIs in patients with diabetes is 4.4%. The presence of AIs in patients with diabetes may associated with increased risk of obesity and hypertension.

This article reported a survived case of amniotic band syndrome (ABS) following fetal reduction by radiofrequency ablation. The woman conceived monochorionic diamniotic twin pregnancy spontaneously. Prenatal ultrasound at 24 weeks of gestation indicated twin-twin transfusion syndrome (stage Ⅲ), and radiofrequency ablation for fetal reduction was successfully performed after formal consent. At 28 +6 weeks, ultrasound reexamination revealed significant edema in the left foot of the fetus, with banding around the ankle, as well as the strangulation mark and narrowing rings. Fetal ABS (ⅡB stage) was diagnosed after multidisciplinary consultation. An immediate emergency cesarean section was performed and a live male baby was born. A thin amniotic band could be seen wrapping around the left ankle of the newborn for several rounds, with obvious strangulation marks about 1 cm deep into the skin, and significant edema on the dorsum and sole of the foot, and the submalleolus area. The amniotic band was released at once, and the edema faded gradually after surgery. After a follow-up of 28 days, the lower limbs of the newborn became normal.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of reperfusion therapy in patients with wake-up stroke (WUS) under the guidance of "tissue-window" by comparing with patients with non-WUS who received reperfusion therapy within "time-window".Methods:Two hundred and thirty-five acute ischemic stroke patients admitted to our hospital from January 2018 to December 2019 were enrolled in our study. Patients with non-WUS received reperfusion therapy within "time-window"; patients with WUS accepted multimodal CT examination at Emergency right after admission, Mistar software was used to reconstruct CT perfusion imaging (CTP) images, and reperfusion therapy was given to these patients after the judgement of "tissue-window". The differences of clinical data, prognoses, and safety indexes were compared between patients with WUS and non-WUS.Results:In these 235 patients, 45 patients were with WUS and 190 were with non-WUS. As compared with patients with non-WUS, those with WUS had significantly lower percentages of patients with hypertension history and patients accepted intravenous thrombolysis ( P<0.05). In 153 patients accepted intravenous thrombolysis, 23 patients were with WUS and 130 were with non-WUS; the time from admission to intravenous thrombolysis in WUS patients was significantly longer than that in non-WUS patients ( P<0.05); the clinical data, prognoses, and safety indexes showed no significant differences between these patients with WUS and non-WUS ( P>0.05). In 82 patients accepted bridging thrombectomy and direct thrombectomy, 22 patients were with WUS and 60 were with non-WUS; the clinical data, prognoses, and safety indexes showed no significant differences between these patients with WUS and non-WUS ( P>0.05). Conclusion:By comparing with patients with non-WUS who received reperfusion therapy within "time-window", reperfusion therapy is effective and safe for WUS patients under the guidance of multimodal CT "tissue-window".

Objective To retrieve and evaluate the evidences for fall prevention in elderly inpatients, and to summary the best evidence. MethodsGuidelines, evidence summaries and systematic reviews related to fall prevention of elderly patients were retrieved in guideline websites and databases by computer from building database to 31st December 2018. Literatures' quality evaluation and evidence grading were carried out with the Chinese version of appraisal of guidelines for research and evaluationⅡ (AGREEⅡ), "2016 Joanna Briggs Institute quality assessment tool on validity evaluation of systematic reviews" and "2014 Joanna Briggs Institute quality level of evidence and grade of recommendation system". ResultsA total of 6 documents were included with 3 guidelines and 3 systematic reviews. Based on evaluation and results extracted, 14 items of the best evidences on fall prevention were summarized in two parts including assessment and prevention, and in 6 aspects involving the medication, facility, environment, functional training, informational support and multifactorial intervention. ConclusionsMedical staff should guide patients to take standardized fall preventive measures to guarantee the safety of patients based on evidence-based medicine.

Objective Studies and researches have indicated that the methylation level of PLAGL1 differentially methylated region (DMR) was associated with some development disorder syndromes.This project is purposed to prove whether methylation levels of PLAGL1 DMR is related to the fetal and early postnatal development.Methods We performed a meta-analysis of the published data on PLAGL1 DMR methylation levels in children with developmental disorders compared with that in normal children.Results PubMed,Medline,EMBASE,WanFang databases were systematically searched to identify relevant studies.We included 7 studies in this meta-analysis,with a total of 195 cases and 438 controls concerning 6 kinds of developmental disorder syndromes.The methylation level of PLAGL1 DMR was lower in children with abnormal growth (excess growth or retarded growth) than that in normal children,with a pooled percentage mean methylation difference (95％ confidence intervals) of-1.05 (-1.93,-0.17).On this basis,we analyzed the odds ratio (95％ confidence intervals) of hypomethylation of PLAGL1 DMR in abnormal growth children in comparison with normal children.The combined odds ratio (95％ confidence intervals) of hypomethylation in abnormal growth children is 2.18 (1.23,3.88) in comparison with normal children.Conclusion Hypomethylation of PLALG1 is actually a risk factor of suffering abnormal growth for children.

OBJECTIVE:To discuss clinical efficacy and safety of leuprolide acetate in the treatment of endometriosis. METH-ODS:66 endometriosis patients were divided into observation group(37 cases)and control group(29 cases)according to random number table method. Observation group was treated with Leuprolide acetate microsphere for injection,3.75 mg/time,on the upper arm,abdomen or buttocks since the first-fifth day of menstrual cycle(administration time was available at hysterectomized patients disposal),and then every 4 weeks;one administration was recognized as a treatment course. Control group was treated with Ethi-nyl estradiol cyproterone tablet orally,1 tablets per day for 3 weeks,one week drug withdrawal,as a treatment course. 2 groups were given 3-5 courses of treatment according to their tolerance or the improvement of clinical symptoms. The improvement of clini-cal symptoms were compared between 2 groups,and the levels of FSH,LH and E2 were compared before and after treatment;the occurrence of ADR and the time of the return of menses were recorded. RESULTS:2 patients in observation group and 1 patient in control group withdrew from the test. After treatment,total effective rate was 97.14% in observation group,which was significant-ly higher than 75.00% in control group,with statistical significance (P<0.05). Before treatment,there was no statistical signifi-cance in the levels of FSH,LH and E2 between 2 groups (P>0.05). After treatment,the levels of FSH,LH and E2 were de-creased significantly,and the observation group was more significant than the control group,with statistical significance (P<0.05). Total incidence of ADR was 20.00% in observation group,compared to control group (21.42%),there was no statistical significance (P>0.05). The time of the return of menses in observation group was (89.75 ± 3.34) d after drug withdrawal,com-pared to control group [(88.46±2.94)d],there was no statistical significance(P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Leuprolide acetate can effectively improve clinical symptoms of patients with endometriosis,and reduce the levels of FSH,LH and E2 with slight ADR, and it doesn’t influence the time of the return of menses.
