Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics and survival analysis of myelodysplastic syndromes(MDS)with RUNX1 gene mutation.Methods:Clinical data of 177 newly diagnosed MDS patients admitted to the Department of Hematology,the Second Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Military Medical University from October 1,2015 to October 31,2022 were retrospectively analyzed.Gene mutation detection was performed by second-generation sequencing technology,and clinical characteristics and prognosis of patients with RUNX1 gene mutation were analyzed.Results:A total of 30 cases(16.95％)of RUNX1 gene mutations were detected,including 15 missense mutations(50.0％),9 frameshift deletion mutations(30.0％),4 splice site mutations(13.3％),1 insertion mutation(3.3％),and 1 nonsense mutation(3.3％).Patients with RUNX1 mutations had a median age of 68.5 years at diagnosis(range:62.25-78.50 years old).There were no significantly differences between RUNX1 mutations and wild type patients in age distribution,gender,peripheral blood white blood cell count,hemoglobin level,bone marrow and peripheral blood blasts ratio,IPSS-R cytogenetics,IPSS-R stage,etc.(P＞0.05).However,there were statistically significant differences in platelet count and whether complicated karyotype.Compared with patients without RUNX1 gene mutation,patients with RUNX1 gene mutation had lower platelet count(P=0.018),and were less likely to have complicated karyotype at initial diagnosis(P=0.01).Cox proportional hazards model analysis showed that when other co variates remained unchanged,the higher the platelet count,the better the survival of patients(HR=0.995,95％CI:0.990-0.999,P=0.036);In the IPSS-M prognostic stratification,keeping other covariates unchanged,the risk of progression or death of myelodysplastic syndrome was significantly lower in the medium to high-risk and low-risk groups compared with the high-risk group(HR=0.149,95％CI:0.031-0.721,P=0.018;HR=0.026,95％CI:0.003-0.234,P=0.001).Survival analysis showed that MDS patients with RUNX1 gene mutation had worse overall survival time(P＜0.001).Patients with RUNX1 mutation had worse OS than non-mutation patients in the early WHO group.RUNX1 mutation and IPSS-M risk stratification mean OS and mean LFS were worse in low-risk patients than in non-mutated patients.Conclusion:RUNX1 gene mutation is an adverse prognostic factor in MDS patients,especially in the IPSS-M prognosis stratification group of low-risk,medium-low risk,medium-high risk and WHO classification of early patients.

The discussion and research on the clinical dominant diseases of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） have attracted increasing attention. Through approaches including modern technology， evidence-based medical methods， and multi-disciplinary treatment， we should construct a sound TCM inheritance and innovation system， establish a collaborative innovation mechanism， and integrate major research projects， striving to make breakthroughs in TCM theory， methodology， standards， and regulation system， promoting the scientific and technological progress of TCM， and thereby improving its curative effect. The China Association of Chinese Medicine （CACM） carried out a series of youth salon seminars for clinical dominant diseases in TCM， discussing and sorting out the advantages of the dominant diseases in clinical diagnosis and treatment of TCM and integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine in specific diseases or fields. Authoritative experts in the industry were invited to give comment and guidance to form a report. Centering on clinical research of dominant diseases， thematic research was carried out in the aspects of practice， human experience-based evidence， and transformation path. Through the systematic study of the dominant diseases， the advantages of TCM in different stages of disease treatment were excavated to constantly improve the prevention and treatment ability of TCM and carry forward the advancement of TCM theory and practice. At the same time， the communication and understanding between traditional Chinese and western medicine were improved， laying the foundation for the further formation of industry guidelines or consensus and comprehensive promotion. These seminars are expected to provide references for the development of policy planning， clinical diagnosis and treatment， health economy， and social services in TCM and lay the foundation for the formation of a new modern diagnosis and treatment system with Chinese characteristics.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the characteristics of gene mutation, clinical characteristics and significance in acute leukemia (AL) patients. METHODS: The clinical data of 102 AL patients in Hebei General Hospital from September 2016 to September 2020 were collected and analyzed retrospectively, including the characteristics of gene mutation, age, peripheral blood cells, bone marrow blasts, leukemia subtypes and myeloperoxidase (MPO). RESULTS: The total gene mutation rate was 87.25% (89/102) in all 102 patients. A total of 275 gene mutations were detected, with an average of 2.70 gene mutations per patient. The most frequent mutations of 102 patients were as follows: CEBPA (6.91%), NPM1 and ASXL1(6.18%), TET2 (5.82%), DNMT3A (5.45%), IDH2 and FLT3-ITD (5.09%). Gene mutations often occurred simultaneously. CEBPA mutation occurred in 10 cases of M2 subtype, while TET2 mutation occurred in 9 cases of M2 subtype. Among the most common gene mutations in MPO low expression group, mutation rates of NPM1, DNMT3A, IDH2, SF related gene mutation and RUNX1 were significantly different than those in MPO high expression group (all P<0.05). Univariate analysis showed that age, NPM1, DNMT3A and FLT3-ITD had significant effects on leukocyte level. Logistic regression analysis showed that patients with positive NPM1 mutations may had higher leukocyte levels (p=0.038), and those with positive DNMT3A mutations may had higher platelet levels (p=0.042). CONCLUSION The incidence of gene mutation in patients with AL is high, and it often occurs simultaneously. CEBPA and TET2 gene mutations are more common in M2 subtype. In patients with MPO low expression, the most common gene mutations are NPM1, DNMT3A and IDH2. AL patients with NPM1 gene mutation had higher white blood cell levels, while with DNMT3A gene mutation had higher platelet levels.

Objective: To investigate the effects of continuous goal-directed analgesia on fluid resuscitation during shock stage in patients with massive burns, providing a basis for rational optimization of analgesia protocols in patients with burn shock. Methods: A retrospective case series study was conducted. One hundred and thirty-six patients with massive burns who met the inclusion criteria were admitted to Zhengzhou First People's Hospital from January 2015 to December 2020, and the patients were divided into continuous analgesia (CA) group (68 cases,with average age of 44 years old) and intermittent analgesia (IA) group (68 cases,with average age of 45 years old) according to whether sufentanil injection was continuously used for intravenous analgesia during the shock stage. The patients in the 2 groups were predominantly male. Before and at 72 h of treatment, the severity of disease and trauma pain of patients in the 2 groups were scored by the acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ (APACHE Ⅱ) and the visual analogue scale (VAS). Hematocrit, heart rate, mean arterial pressure (MAP), central venous pressure (CVP), oxygen saturation in central venous blood (ScvO₂), rehydration coefficient, blood lactate value, hourly urine output, and the adverse reactions such as hypotension, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, skeletal muscle tonicity, respiratory depression, bradycardia, pruritus, and drug addiction of patients in the 2 groups during the treatment were recorded at the 1^st, 2^nd, and 3^rd 24 h post-injury. Data were statistically analyzed with analysis of variance for repeated measurement, paired or independent sample t test, Bonferroni correction,chi-square test and Mann-Whitney U test. Results: Before treatment, APACHE Ⅱ and VAS scores of patients in the 2 groups were close (with t values of -0.67 and 0.32, respectively, P>0.05); At 72 h of treatment, APACHE Ⅱ and VAS scores of patients in CA group were 8.5±2.2 and 2.5±1.6, both of which were significantly lower than (15.2±3.0) and (7.9±2.0) of patients in IA group, respectively (with t values of -14.94 and -17.46, respectively, P<0.01). Compared with the pre-treatment period, the APACHE Ⅱ and VAS scores of patients in IA group decreased significantly at 72 h of treatment (with t values of 11.35 and 30.59, respectively, P<0.01); the changes in APACHE Ⅱ and VAS scores of patients at 72 h of treatment in comparison with those of patients before treatment in CA group were all similar to those of patients in IA group (with t values of 4.00 and 4.82, respectively, P<0.01). Compared with those of patients in IA group, there were no significant changes in CVP, hematocrit, heart rate, ScvO₂, and MAP of patients in CA group at all three 24 h post-injury (with t values of <0.01, 0.12, 2.10, 1.55, 0.03; 0.13, 0.22, <0.01, 0.17, 0.49; 0.63, 0.06, 0.04, 2.79, and 2.33, respectively, P>0.05). Compared with those of patients in IA group at the 1^st 24 h post-injury, CVP, ScvO₂ and MAP of patients were significantly higher at the 2^nd and 3^rd 24 h post-injury (with t values of -10.10, -9.31, -8.89; -10.81, -4.65, and -9.43, respectively, P<0.01), and the heart rate of patients was significantly lower at the 2^nd and 3^rd 24 h post-injury (with t values of 7.53 and 7.78, respectively, P<0.01), and the hematocrit of patients decreased significantly only at the 3^rd 24 h post-injury (t=15.55, P<0.01); the changes of CVP, ScvO₂, MAP and heart rate of patients at the 2^nd and the 3^rd 24 h post-injury, and HCT of patients at the 3^rd 24 h post-injury, in comparison with those of patients at the 1^st 24 h post-injury in CA group were similar to those of patients in IA group (with t values of -12.25, -10.24, -8.99, 9.42, -8.83, -7.53, -11.57, 10.44, and 12.91, respectively, P<0.01). Compared with those of patients in IA group, the rehydration coefficient of patients in CA group was significantly higher only at the 3^rd 24 h post-injury (t=5.60, P<0.05), blood lactate value of patients in CA group was significantly lower at the 1^st and 2^nd 24 h post-injury (with t values of 4.32 and 14.52, respectively, P<0.05 or P<0.01), the hourly urine output of patients in CA group increased significantly at the 1^st, 2^nd, and 3^rd 24 h post-injury (with t values of 24.65, 13.12, and 5.63, respectively, P<0.05 or P<0.01). Compared with the those of patients at the 1^st 24 h post-injury, the rehydration coefficient of patients in IA group decreased significantly at the 2^nd and the 3^rd 24 h post-injury (with t values of 33.98 and 36.91, respectively, P<0.01), the blood lactate values of patients in IA group decreased significantly at the 2^nd and the 3^rd 24 h post-injury (with t values of 8.20 and 11.68, respectively, P<0.01), and the hourly urine output of patients in IA group was significantly increased at the 2^nd and the 3^rd 24 h post-injury (with t values of -3.52 and -5.92, respectively, P<0.01); the changes of rehydration coefficients and blood lactate values of patients at the 2^nd and the 3^rd 24 h post-injury in comparison with those of patients at the 1^st 24 h post-injury in CA group were similar to those of patients in IA group (with t values of 35.64, 33.64, 9.86, and 12.56, respectively, P<0.01), but hourly urine output of patients in CA group increased significantly only at the 3^rd 24 h compared with that of patients at the 1^st 24 h post-injury (t=-3.07, P<0.01). Adverse reactions such as hypotension, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, bradycardia, and pruritus occurred rarely in patients of the 2 groups, and none of the patients had skeletal muscle tonicity, respiratory depression, or drug addiction. The incidence of adverse reactions of patients in CA group was similar to that in IA group (χ²=0.08, P>0.05). Conclusions: Continuous goal-directed analgesia can effectively relieve pain and improve vital signs of patients with large burns. Meanwhile it has little impact on volume load, which can assist in correcting ischemia and hypoxia during the shock period and help patients get through the shock period smoothly.

Objective To understand the epidemic situation and the source of infection of the reemerge human rabies in Qinghai. Methods We collected the data on human rabies and the data on the cases of multi- victims bitten by the identical dog, and also the laboratory data of the nucleoprotein ( N) gene of rabies virus from the samples which were detected by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and direct immunofluorescence assay (DFA) from 2012 to 2017, to describe the epidemiological characteristics of human rabies and the prevalence of rabies virus in host animals, and to explore the source of infection of reemerge human rabies. Results A total of 7 human cases were reported in 2012-2017 in Qinghai province, among which 1 was bitted by wolf, 2 were bitted by stray dogs, 3 were bitted by domestic dogs which injured by stray dogs or wolfs. A total of 892 canine brain tissue samples were collected, from which 46 positive samples were detected with the positive rate of 5.16% (95% CI：3.70%-6.61%). The positive samples were collected from the nomadic region, which were consistent had the location of the human rabies. The samples collected from the cases of multi-victims bitten by the identical dog/animal had the positive rate of 73.08%, and 4 out of 7 human rabies were exposed to the cases of multi-victims bitten by the identical dog/animal. Genetic sequencing of the rabies virus detected from canine brain tissue samples were belong to China IV lineage, which was closely related to the Arctic clade. Conclusions The reemerging rabies happened in nomadic region of Qinghai province could be a consequence of spillover from wildlife especially from wolfs. The better surveillance system covering the human, livestock and wildlife should be set up to mitigate the rabies virus spread from the wildlife.

One undescribed and two known furocoumarins were isolated from the stems of the Clausenalansium through a series of isolation and purification approaches including HPD-100 macroporous resin column, silica gel, reverse phase C₁₈ and so on. Their structures were determined to be 8-[(2S,3S,6E)-2,3-epoxy-3,7-dimethyl-oct-6-enyloxy] psoralen (1), 8-(7',8'-epoxygeranyloxy) psoralen (2) and 8-[(2E)-6-oxo-3,7-dimethyloct-2-enyloxy] psoralen (3) by spectroscopic methods. Compound 1 is a new furocoumarin. Compound 2 showed cytotoxicity to H460 (IC₅₀ = 43.94 μmol·L^-1) and compound 3 showed cytotoxicity to HeLa (33.76 μmol·L^-1) through the cytotoxic tests against five human cancer cell lines (H460, H7402, HCT-8, HeLa and MCF-7) for all compounds.

In order to investigate the genetic difference on medicinal components of Scutellaria baicalensis from different provenances on the genetic difference, the S. baicalensis provenance tests were arranged by randomized block design.Excavating the crude drugs that have been growing for three years, with the same drying process, the content of baicalin, baicalein, wogonoside, wogonin and laminarin A in S. baicalensis were detected by HPLC, and then the data were analyzed. The results indicated that the content of baicalin in different provenances of S. baicalensis was significantly different (<0.05), while the variation of baicalein reached extremely significant level (<0.01). Cluster analysis showed that if the distance was divided by 5.0, the provenances in Chengde, Hebei province were divided into two independent populations, while the other two populations had large geographic spans. The results show that the significant geographical variations exist in the content of medicinal components in S. baicalensis. The study laid a theoretical foundation of provenance selection of S. baicalensis.

Objective To explore the effects of problem-based learning (PBL) method on the efficiency of teaching of Chinese medicine dermatology based on medical records. Methods Undergraduate students who were in the same grade were divided into experimental group and control group. The experimental group was taught with the PBL method based on medical records. Teachers selected medical records, combed knowledge points, designed questions and carried out teaching in response to questions. The control group was taught with traditional teaching method. The teaching efficiency of two groups was evaluated by using test scores and questionnaire survey. Results The scores of syndrome differentiation scores, medication scores, and the overall score of experimental group were better than those in the control group. Compared with the control group, learning initiative, ability to involve in the teaching and master knowledge, and ability of logical analysis and communication of experimental group were all improved remarkably. Conclusion PBL method based on medical cases is beneficial for the improvement of the level of diagnosing and treating skin diseases based on syndrome differentiation and ability of solving problem.

AIM:To assess the changes in higher order aberrations after wavefront guided femtosecond laser assisted laser in situ keratomileusis ( FS-LASIK ) for moderate to high astigmatism.?METHODS: Eighty-eight eyes of 50 myopia patients with moderate to high astigmatism were included in this prospective study. There were 51 eyes with moderate astigmatism (≥-1. 50D and <-3. 00D) and 37 eyes with high astigmatism (≥-3. 00D). All patients underwent wavefront guided FS-LASIK. Uncorrected distance visual acuity ( UDVA ) , corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), keratometry, central corneal thickness ( CCT)and higher order aberrations ( HOAs ) were evaluated before operation and 3mo postoperatively.?RESULTS:At the 3mo after operation, the mean UDVA of all eyes was above 20/20, better than before operation (P<0. 05), but CDVA remained unchanged (P=0. 36) and no eyes lost ≥2 lines of CDVA. Mean astigmstism of 85 eyes ( 97％) was reduced below - 1. 00D, mean astigmatism of 70 eyes ( 80％) was reduced below-0.50D(P<0. 05). The average corneal curvature was flatter by 3. 81 ± 1. 97D and CCT was reduced by 78. 66 ± 37. 22μm, postoperatively (P<0. 05). Coma and trefoil aberrations remained unchanged(P=0. 078, 0. 065). The spherical aberration, secondary astigmatism and the HOA root mean square ( RMS ) increased from 0. 19 ± 0. 06, 0.05±0. 02 and 0. 42±0. 12, preoperatively to 0. 32± 0. 17, 0. 26 ± 0. 08 and 0. 78 ± 0. 28 ( P < 0. 05 ), postoperatively.?CONCLUSION: Wavefront-guided FS-LASIK is a safe and effective option for the patients with moderate to high astigmstism although parts of HOAs increased.
