Objective: To reveal the molecular biological mechanism of a rare Dc-variant individual using PacBio third-generation sequencing technology. Methods: ABO and Rh blood type identification, DAT, unexpected antibody screening and D antigen enhancement test were conducted by serological testing. The absorption-elution test was used to detect the e antigen. RHCE gene typing was performed by PCR-SSP, and the 1-10 exons of RHCE were sequenced by Sanger sequencing. The full-length sequences of RHCE, RHD and RHAG were detected by PacBio third-generation sequencing technology. Results: Serological findings: Blood type O, Dc-phenotype, DAT negative, unexpected antibody screening negative; enhanced D antigen expression; no detection of e antigen in the absorption-elution test. PCR-SSP genotyping indicated the presence of only the RHCE c allele. Sanger sequencing results: Exons 5-9 of RHCE were deleted, exon 1 had a heterozygous mutation at c. 48G/C, and exon 2 had five heterozygous mutations at c. 150C/T, c. 178C/A, c. 201A/G, c. 203A/G and c. 307C/T. Third-generation sequencing results: RHCE genotype was RHCE 02N. 08/RHCE-D(5-9)-CE; RHD genotype was RHD 01/RHD 01; RHAG genotype was RHAG 01/RHAG 01 (c. 808G>A and c. 861G>A). Conclusion: This Dc-individual carries the allele RHCE 02N. 08 and the novel allele RHCE-D(5-9)-CE. The findings of this study provide data support and a theoretical basis for elucidating the molecular mechanisms underlying RhCE deficiency phenotypes.

ObjectiveTo investigate the mechanism of Huangqin Tang （HQT） in regulating metabolic reprogramming during the inflammation-cancer transformation in colitis-associated colorectal cancer （CAC）. MethodsCAC mouse model was established using the carcinogen azoxymethane （AOM） combined with the inflammatory agent dextran sulfate sodium （DSS）. HQT treatment was adopted. Serum metabolomics analysis was performed at three stages （inflammation， proliferation， and tumor formation） using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry （LC-MS/MS） untargeted metabolomics coupled with multivariate statistical analysis to explore the mechanism of HQT intervention in metabolism in CAC. ResultsThe results revealed that HQT significantly reversed the disturbance of key metabolites in CAC mice. A total of 52， 67， and 45 differential metabolites were identified in the model group， compared to the normal group， during inflammation， proliferation， and tumor stages， respectively. Lactate， linoleic acid， oleic acid， elaidic acid， and betaine were characteristic metabolites persistently enriched throughout colitis-cancer transformation. Pathway enrichment analysis of differential metabolites showed that linoleic acid metabolism and arachidonic acid metabolism were the most significantly disturbed in CAC pathogenesis. The proliferation stage featured expanded amino acid metabolic networks， while the tumor stage uniquely exhibited two new pathways of nicotinate and nicotinamide metabolism and phosphoinositide metabolism. HQT exerted stage-specific regulatory effects： targeting arachidonic acid metabolism in the inflammation stage， correcting the dysregulation of choline-carnitine metabolism in the proliferation stage， and rescuing nicotinamide and tryptophan metabolic collapse in the tumor stage. ConclusionHQT exerts regulatory effects on metabolic disorders at various stages of the colitis-cancer transformation process， thereby effectively slowing the progression from colitis to cancer. The study also reveals the dynamic metabolic characteristics of colorectal "inflammation-cancer transformation，"providing new insights for research on the targeted mechanisms of traditional Chinese medicine in anti-tumor therapy based on metabolic reprogramming.

[Abstract] [Objective] To evaluate the immunogenicity of red blood cell blood group antigens in the population of Xi'an. [Methods] Data on blood group antigens of voluntary blood donors from the Shaanxi Province Blood Center and unexpected antibody detection results from clinically submitted cases between January 2019 and May 2024 were analyzed. The Giblett blood group antigen immunogenicity calculation formula was used to calculate the immunogenicity of blood group antigens based on the frequency of unexpected antibodies and the probability of antigen-negative patients receiving antigen-positive red blood cells. The relative immunogenicity of each blood group antigen was obtained by multiplying the immunogenicity of the K antigen (0.095). [Results] A total of 30 921 individuals were included for red blood cell blood group antigen analysis, with 511 cases of unexpected antibody identification. The ranking of red blood cell blood group antigen immunogenicity for the overall population was: Wr^a>E>Di^b>Fy^a>K>C>e>c>Di^a>Jk^a>M>Le^a>Jk^b>Le^b>Fy^b>S, while for males, it was: Di^b>Wr^a>E>K>Fy^a>C>e>c>M>Di^a>Jk^a>Fy^b>Le^a>Le^b>Jk^b>S. [Conclusion] Based on the immunogenicity ranking from strong to weak of red blood cell antigens in the population of Xi'an, this study provides theoretical support for the expansion and matching of antigens, and technical support for achieving precise red blood cell transfusions to improve transfusion efficacy and safety.

Objective To optimize the oxygen therapy regimens for infants with pulmonary diseases during bronchoscopy.Methods A prospective randomized,controlled,and single-center clinical trial was conducted on 42 infants who underwent electronic bronchoscopy from July 2019 to July 2021.These infants were divided into a nasal cannula(NC)group and a modified T-piece resuscitator(TPR)group using a random number table.The lowest intraoperative blood oxygen saturation was recorded as the primary outcome,and intraoperative heart rate and respiratory results were recorded as the secondary outcomes.Results Compared with the NC group,the modified TPR group had a significantly higher level of minimum oxygen saturation during surgery and a significantly lower incidence rate of hypoxemia(P<0.05).In the modified TPR group,there were 6 infants with mild hypoxemia,2 with moderate hypoxemia,and 1 with severe hypoxemia,while in the NC group,there were 3 infants with mild hypoxemia,5 with moderate hypoxemia,and 9 with severe hypoxemia(P<0.05).The modified TPR group had a significantly lower incidence rate of intraoperative respiratory rhythm abnormalities than the NC group(P<0.05),but there was no significant difference in the incidence rate of arrhythmias between the two groups(P>0.05).Conclusions Modified TPR can significantly reduce the risk of hypoxemia in infants with pulmonary diseases during electronic bronchoscopy,and TPR significantly decreases the severity of hypoxemia and the incidence of respiratory rhythm abnormalities compared with traditional NC.

Objective To investigate the expression of PCI Domain Containing 2(PCID2)in gastric cancer,its effect on gastric cancer cell cycle and proliferation and the possible molecular mechanisms.Methods We examined PCID2 expression levels in gastric cancer and adjacent tissues from 100 patients undergoing radical gastrectomy in our hospital between January,2012 and December,2016,and analyzed the correlation of PCID2 expression level with cancer progression and postoperative 5-year survival rate of the patients.GO enrichment analysis was performed to identify the possible pathways that mediated the effect of PCID2 in gastric cancer progression.The effects of lentivirus-mediated PCID2 knockdown and overexpression on cell proliferation and cell cycle were analyzed in gastric cancer MGC-803 cells and in nude mice.Results PCID2 was highly expressed in gastric cancer tissues and positively correlated with peripheral blood levels of CA19-9 and CEA(P<0.01).In gastric cancer patients,a high PCID2 expression was associated with a significantly lowered postoperative 5-year survival rate(P<0.001)as an independent risk factor for postoperative survival(HR:2.987,95%CI:1.616-5.519).The sensitivity,specificity,and area under the curve of PCID2 for predicting postoperative 5-year survival were 76.74%,75.44%,and 0.755(P<0.001),respectively.GO enrichment analysis suggested that PCID2 was associated with gastric cancer cell cycle progression.PCID2 overexpression in MGC-803 cells significantly promoted cell proliferation,G1/S phase transition,expressions of cyclin D1 and CDK6,and the growth of transplanted xenograft in nude mice(P<0.05).The expressions of p27 and p16 were significantly lowered in gastric cancer tissues,and their expression levels were negatively regulated by PCID2 expression in MGC-803 cells(P<0.05).Conclusion PCID2 is highly expressed in gastric cancer tissues in close correlation with poor prognosis of the patients.High PCID2 expression promotes gastric cancer proliferation and cell cycle progression by inhibiting the expression of p27 and p16.

Objective To explore the regulatory role of Abelson interactor 2(ABI2)in progression and prognosis of gastric cancer.Methods TIMER2.0,GEPIA,Kaplan-Meier Plotter and DAVID databases were used to analyze ABI2 expression in pan-cancer and its association with the prognosis of gastric cancer.Gastric cancer and adjacent tissues from 120 patients undergoing radical gastrectomy in our hospital between January,2016 and October,2018 were examined for ABI2 expression and its correlation with disease progression and prognosis.MGC-803 cell models of ABI2 knockdown and overexpression were established for observing the changes in cell proliferation,migration,and invasion,and the impact of ABI2 expression modulation on xenograft growth was evaluated in nude mice.Results Database analysis and examination of the clinical samples showed that ABI2 was highly expressed in gastric cancer tissues.Survival analysis suggested that gastric cancer patients with a high expression of ABI2 had a reduced postoperative 5-year survival rate(P<0.0001),and further Cox univariate and multivariate survival analyses indicated that a high ABI2 expression was an independent risk factor affecting the patients survival outcomes(P=0.022,HR=1.887,95%CI:1.096-3.249).Enrichment analysis suggested the involvement of ABI2 in Wnt signaling.In MGC-803 cells,ABI2 overexpression promoted cell proliferation and xenograft growth in nude mice,increased the expressions of vimentin and N-cadherin,and lowered E-cadherin expression,while ABI2 knockdown produced the opposite effects.Mechanistic analysis revealed that ABI2 overexpression promoted the expressions of Wnt2 and β-catenin in both MGC-803 cells and the xenografts,and their expressions were significantly lowered by ABI2 knockdown.Conclusion ABI2 is highly expressed in gastric cancer,which affects long-term prognosis of the patients,possible due to its regulatory effect on Wnt signaling to promote proliferation,migration and invasion of gastric cancer cells.

Objective To explore the risk factors for the occurrence of adenomatous polyps in melanosis coli(MC),and to construct and validate a risk prediction model for the occurrence of adenomatous polyps in MC.Methods The clinical data of patients with melanosis coli who underwent colonoscopy in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed.The related risk factors,including gender,age,smoking history,drinking history,hypertension history,diabetes history,melanosis degree and so on,were collected.Establish a column chart model for predicting the risk of adenomatous polyps using R language,evaluate the model through C-index,calibration curve,and decision curve analysis(DCA),and validate the model internally using Bootstrap method.Results Gender,degree of melanosis,homocysteine,HbA1c,TSH,fecal occult blood,gallstones or polyps,HP infection were the independent influencing factors of adenomatous polyps in patients with melanosis of large intestine.The model had a good discrimination in predicting the risk of adenomatous polyps in patients with colorectal melanosis.Hosmer Lemeshow goodness of fit test showed that the P values of the training set and the validation set were 0.157 and 0.179,respectively(both＜0.05),indicating that the model fitted well.When the threshold probability of the training set and the validation level were both 0％to 100％,patients with melanosis of the colon may benefit from clinical intervention.Conclusion The risk model established by the above risk factors has good discrimination and good fit,which can provide reference for clinical decision-making.

Background and objective A reasonable and standardized dietary plan and procedure can help patients recovering quickly from lung cancer surgery.The aim of this study is to optimize the diet plan and procedure mainly based on medium chain triglyceride(MCT)diet and explore its clinical advantages for postoperative lung cancer patients.Methods From October 2023 to December 2023,a total of 156 patients were collected,who underwent lung cancer surgery in Lung Cancer Cen-ter,West China Hospital of Sichuan University.The patients were randomized into MCT group(76 cases)and routine diet(RD)group(80 cases).Clinical symptoms,biochemical index,postoperative hospitalization time and cost,dietary satisfaction and hospitalization comfort between the two groups were analyzed.Results The mean anus exhausting time in MCT group[24.00(9.75,36.97)h]was significantly shorter than that in RD group[28.50(24.00,48.00)h](P＜0.001).And the incidence of dizzi-ness(18.42％),nausea and vomiting(6.58％)in MCT group were remarkably lower than those in RD group(51.25％,31.25％)(P＜0.001).Hospitalization comfort score in MCT group[(16.74±1.70)]was significantly higher than that in RD group[(14.83±2.34)](P=0.016).Meanwhile,the average hospitalization cost in MCT group[(39,701.82±8105.47)￥]showed an obvious decrease compared with RD group[(44,511.79±9593.19)￥](P=0.007).Conclusion Optimizing the dietary plan and procedure mainly based on MCT diet for postoperative lung cancer patients can help the recovery of gastrointestinal function and improve hospitalization comfort,which promoted overall postoperative rehabilitation of patients with lung cancer surgery.

Objective To investigate the activated phenotype and the expression of the receptor of advanced glycation endproducts(RAGE)of astrocytes after hypoxic-ischemic brain damage(HIBD)in neonatal rats and the effects of gastrodin(GAS)intervention on them.Methods Totally 48 neonatal 3 days SD rats were used to construct HIBD model and randomly divided into sham group,HIBD group and HIBD+GAS group(100 mg/kg),and the expressions of Al type astrocyte marker C3,A2 type astrocyte marker S100A10,RAGE,tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),brain-derived neurotrophic factor(BDNF),and insulin-like growth factor(IGF-1)in the corpus callosum of the ischemic side were detected by Western blotting and immunohistochemical staining on day 1 and day 3 after HIBD.TNC-1 cells were divided into control group,oxygen glucose deprivation(OGD)group,OGD+GAS(0.34 mmol/L)group and GAS group,and then the protein expressions of RAGE,TNF-α,BDNF and IGF-1 were detected by Western blotting and immunofluorescence.Results In vivo,Western blotting showed that compared with the sham group,the protein expression levels of C3,S100A10,RAGE,TNF-α and IGF-1 in the 1 day and 3 days groups after HIBD group in 1 day group were significantly higher than those in the sham group(P＜0.05),but the protein expression level of BDNF decreased in 1 day group and increased in 3 days group(P＜0.05).Compared with the HIBD group,the C3,RAGE and TNF-α protein expression levels were significantly attenuated in the HIBD+GAS group(P＜0.05),and the protein expression levels of BDNF and IGF-1 further increased(P＜0.05).The protein expression of S100A10 in the 3 days group was higher than that in the HIBD group after GAS treatment(P＜0.05).The immunohistochemical staining results of C3,S100A10,and RAGE in the 1 day and 3 days groups after HIBD were consistent with Western blotting results.Furthermore,the protein expressions of RAGE and TNF-α were significantly enhanced in OGD-stimulated astrocytes(P＜0.05).After GAS intervention,while the expressions of both RAGE and TNF-α decreased significantly(P＜0.05),the expressions of BDNF and IGF-1 increased significantly(P＜0.05).Conclusion With inhibiting the up-regulation of RAGE signal in astrocyte after HIBD and expressions of A1 astrocyte and neuroinflammatory factors,gastrodin can promot the expressions of A2 astrocyte and nutritional factors,which play an important role in neuro-protective effect.
