【Objective】 To investigate the reasonable serological detection method by analyzing the characteristics of anti-K and anti-Wra from a patient who received treatment with daratumumab. 【Methods】 Unexpected antibody screening and identification were performed by saline method, polybrene, cardioagglutinin, dithiothreitol (DTT) treatment, trypsin treatment and papain treatment in the patient's plasma and acid elution solution. Heat elution test was detected after absorbing patient serum with K antigen negative red blood cells. The characteristics of antibodies were analyzed and their titer was continuously detected. Cross matching was performed after excluding interference of daratumumab. 【Results】 Anti-K and anti-Wra were detected in saline and polybrene in the patient's plasma. The patient's elution solution contained daratumumab. DTT or trypsin treatment excluded interference of daratumumab but papain treatment did not. DTT treatment destroyed K antigen and missed the detection of IgG antibodies in the Kell system. Trypsin treatment did not affect K antigen and can detect IgG antibodies of Kell system(anti-k)in the serum of the patient treated with daratumumab. Anti K was IgM and the titer was 4 by saline method and it decreased to no agglutination in room temperature after 39 days. Anti-Wra was IgG and the titer by polybrene method was 4, and it decreased to 1 after 39 days. After 76 days, neither anti-K nor anti-Wra could be detected. Transfusions of K and Wra antigen negative red blood cells were safe and effective. 【Conclusion】 DTT treatment can exclude interference of daratumumab, but attention should be paid to missed detection of anti-K. To avoid interference of daratumumab and identify unexpected antibody, multiple methods such as DTT treatment, polybrene and trypsin treatment in combination are recommended.

Fermentum Rubrum(FR) is a kind of traditional Chinese medicine with dual-use functions of medicine and food, which has been used for more than 1 000 years. By referring to the ancient herbal classics and modern laws and regulations, the author sorted out the origin of FR, sorted out the development of processing, and analyzed the problems existing in the quality standard, aiming to provide a basis for further research and development of FR. There are many theories about the origin of FR. After summarizing and sorting out the relevant literature, three viewpoints are mainly drawn, including Han dynasty origin theory, Wei and Jin origin theory and Tang dynasty origin theory. After synthesizing the views of various schools, it is believed that the origin of FR should be no later than the Eastern Han dynasty. FR is made from rice by fermentation, which has the effect of strengthening the spleen, eliminating food, promoting blood circulation and removing stasis after fermentation. Although the natural fermentation in ancient times has been able to pay attention to the influence of temperature, humidity and strain on the quality of FR, due to the low level of science and technology, there are still problems such as complicated and cumbersome process, large workload and high labor cost. To the pure fermentation in modern times, the fermentation processing method of FR has been evolved, gradually improved and perfected. However, due to the lack of standardized research, there is no unified standard for the fermentation process of FR in various regions, and the quality standard lags behind seriously, which leads to the unstable product quality on the market. Among the 15 specifications for the preparation of FR, only 6 have been published in the past 5 years, and most of them have not been revised in a timely manner, and some of them have not been included in the updated version. Based on this, it is recommended to carry out a systematic study on processing technology of FR, and the best process is selected to accelerate the revision and improvement of its standardization, so as to improve the quality of FR sold in the market and promote its stable and sustainable development.

Objective:To evaluate the surgery combined chemotherapy and radiation in locally advanced neuroendocrine carcinoma of the cervix (NECC) .Methods:This is a single-center retrospective cohort study. Locally advanced NECC patients admitted to Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Chinese Acadmy of Medical Sciences from January 2011 to April 2022 were enrolled. They were divided into concurrent chemoradiotherapy group, and surgery combined with chemotherapy and radiation group. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyze the progression free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), recurrence rate, and mortality rate.Results:(1) Forty-six cases were included, 22 in concurrent chemoradiotherapy group, 24 in surgery combined chemotherapy and radiation group. With 16 patients (35%, 16/46) received neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT), the NACT effective rate was 15/16. (2) The median follow-up time was 27.5 months (range: 10-106 months), with 26 (57%, 26/46) experienced recurrences. There were 4 (9%, 4/46) pelvic recurrences and 25 (54%, 25/46) distant recurrences, and 3 (7%, 3/46) both pelvic and distant recurrences. Compared with concurrent chemoradiotherapy group, surgery combined chemotherapy and radiation group had lower pelvic recurrence rate [14% (3/22) vs 4% (1/24); χ2=1.296, P=0.255] but without statistic difference. Both groups had similar distant recurrence rate [55% (12/22) vs 54% (13/24); χ2=0.001, P=0.979] and overall recurrence rate [59% (13/22) vs 54% (13/24); χ2=0.113, P=0.736]. (3) During the follow-up period, 22 cases (48%, 22/46) died, with 11 cases (50%, 11/22) in concurrent chemoradiotherapy group and 11 cases (46%, 11/24) in surgery combined chemotherapy and radiation group, without significant difference ( χ2=0.080, P=0.777). The postoperative 3-year and 5-year OS rates were 62.3% and 36.9%. Compared with concurrent chemoradiotherapy group, the patients in surgery combined chemotherapy and radiation group showed an extended trend in PFS (17.0 vs 32.0 months) and OS (37.0 vs 50.0 months) but without statistic differences ( P=0.287, P=0.125). Both groups had similar 3-year OS rate (54.2% vs 69.9%; P=0.138) and 5-year OS rate (36.1% vs 38.8%; P=0.217). Conclusions:Our study supports the multi-modality treatment strategy (including surgery, chemotherapy and radiation) as an important component in the treatment of locally advanced NECC. The combination of surgery, chemotherapy and radiation seems to have advantages in the treatment of locally advanced NECC, but needs to be confirmed by further multicenter studies.

Objective:To survey the status quo and influencing factors of contracted family doctor pay services in urban communities of Suzhou city.Methods:This study was a cross-sectional study. A questionnaire survey on the status quo and influencing factors of contracted family doctor pay services was conducted from July to October 2022 among 750 residents from 40 communities of 4 subdistricts in Suzhou Gusu District, selected by stratified random sampling method. A self-designed questionnaire was used for the survey, which included demographic information, status quo of pay services among residents and factors influencing the service contracting. Chi-square test and binary logistic regression were used to analyze the influencing factors of contracted family doctor pay services.Results:A total of 750 questionnaires were distributed, with 720 valid ones returned at a recovery rate of 96.0%. Among the 720 residents, 370 (51.4%) were female, and 300 (41.7%) were between the age of 35 and 60 years old. There were 71 residents who had contracted pay services with a contracting rate of 9.9% (71/720), and the renewal rate was 80.3% (57/71). The top 3 reasons for signing the contract were health guidance (67.6%, 48/71), medical counselling (63.4%, 45/71) and 3 free consultations (57.7%, 41/71). The top 3 reasons for not signing a contract were not needing services (49.9%, 324/649), not knowing about contracted services (41.9%, 272/649) and rarely visiting the community health service center (25.6%, 166/649). Age ( χ2=21.072), marital status ( χ2=10.969), knowing the family doctor team ( χ2=145.954), knowing the family doctor contract system ( χ2=133.981), knowing the content and the rights of the contracted services ( χ2=132.905), using primary medical institutions as first choice for common and chronic diseases ( χ2=13.532), multiple comorbid chronic diseases ( χ2=30.024), being agreed by family members ( χ2=46.258), signing contract in family members ( χ2=108.833) or relatives and friends ( χ2=47.492), and experience in community health service centers ( χ2=26.116) were significantly associated with the contract signing (all P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that knowing family doctor team well ( OR=23.13,95% CI:5.05-105.97) or very well( OR=95.28,95% CI: 10.71-847.68); having ≥3 chronic diseases compared to no chronic diseases ( OR=5.60, 95% CI: 1.88-16.75, P<0.05); contracting agreed by family members compared to not agreed ( OR=2.66, 95% CI: 1.03-6.84, P<0.05); signing contract in family members compared to not signing ( OR=4.42, 95% CI:2.05-9.55, P<0.05) were independent influencing factors of signing contract of family doctor pay services. Conclusions:The rate of contracted of family doctor pay services in Gusu District of Suzhou City is relatively low. Knowing the family doctor team, having multiple comorbid chronic diseases, agreement among family members, and signing contract in family members are influencing factors of contracted family doctor pay services.

Objective:To investigate the effects of Kanglaite injection combined with chemotherapy on quality of life and myelosuppression in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).Methods:The clinical data of 60 patients with NSCLC who received treatment at Zhejiang Jinhua Guangfu Tumor Hospital from August 2018 to February 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. These patients were divided into an experimental group and a control group, with 30 patients in each group according to the treatment methods used. The patients in the experimental group received the Kanglaite injection in combination with chemotherapy using gemcitabine and cisplatin, whereas the patients in the control group were treated solely with chemotherapy with gemcitabine and cisplatin. The quality of life was evaluated using the Karnofsky Performance Status score. Before and after treatment, a comparison was made between the two groups in terms of Karnofsky Performance Status score, the incidence of adverse reactions (such as myelosuppression), and clinical efficacy.Results:After treatment, the disease control rate and objective response rate in the experimental group were 86.67% (26/30) and 60.00% (18/30), respectively, which were significantly higher than 60.00% (18/30) and 30.00% (9/30) in the control group ( χ2 = 4.18, 4.31, both P < 0.05). Prior to treatment, the Karnofsky Performance Status scores in the experimental and control groups were (70.68 ± 3.75) points and (70.29 ± 5.11) points ( t = 0.34, P = 0.790), respectively. After treatment, the Karnofsky Performance Status scores in the experimental group were significantly higher than those in the control group [(67.02 ± 5.87) points vs. (62.37 ± 3.59) points, t = -5.29, P < 0.05]. The incidence of adverse reactions in the experimental group was significantly higher than that in the control group [40.00% (12/30) vs. 36.67% (11/30), χ2 = 0.07, P = 0.790). Additionally, the incidence of myelosuppression in the experimental group was significantly lower than that in the control group [56.67% (17/30) vs. 86.67% (26/30), χ2 = 6.90, P = 0.030]. Conclusion:Compared with chemotherapy alone, Kanglaite injection combined with chemotherapy can effectively relieve the clinical symptoms of patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer, leading to improved prognosis.

Objective To determine the effects of treadmill training on the structure of hippocampal myelin and cognitive function in rats exposed to acute plateau hypoxia.Methods With 30 SPF-grade female SD rats (aged 6-8 weeks,weighing 200-220 g),6 of them were used for observation of myelin structure after injury,and the remaining 24 rats were randomly divided into control group,hypobaric hypoxia group and treadmill training group (n=8).The rats in above experimental groups were placed in a low-pressure oxygen chamber at an altitude of 6000 m for 7 consecutive days,and the rats of the control group were placed in the confined chamber for the same period without hypoxia.Then,the rats of the treadmill training group received a 4-week treadmill training scheme since the day after hypoxia.Finally,all the rats were tested for cognitive function with open field test (OFT)and Morris water maze (MWM).Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) was used to observe the changes of demyelination in the hippocampus. The expression of oligodendrocyte transcription factor 2 (Olig2)and myelin basic protein (MBP )in the hippocampal CA1 and CA3 regions was measured by immunofluorescence staining and Western blotting.Results Behavioral tests showed that the number into the central area,total distance,distance ratio in OFT and the number of platform crossings and distance to the target area in MWM were reduced in the hypobaric hypoxia group than the control group (P<0.05 ),while these indexes were increased in the treadmill training group than in the hypobaric hypoxia group (P<0.05).Immunofluorescence staining indicated that the number of Olig2 positive cells per unit area and the mean fluorescence intensity of MBP in the CA1 and CA3 regions were significantly lessen in the hypobaric hypoxia group than the control group (P<0.05 ),while these indicators were higher in the treadmill training group than the hypobaric hypoxia group (P<0.05 ).Western blotting displayed that the expression levels of Olig2 and MBP in the hippocampus were obviously lower in the hypobaric hypoxia group than the control group (P<0.01 ),while the levels were increased in the treadmill training group than the hypobaric hypoxia group (P<0.01 ).Conclusion Treadmill training promotes the number of the oligodendrocyte spectrum cells in CA1 and CA3 regions,enhances the expression of myelin-related proteins and improves myelin repair in hippocampus of hypobaric hypoxia rats,and thereby ameliorates hypoxia-induced anxiety-like behaviors and memory dysfunction.

Background and objective Small cell lung cancer(SCLC)is known as recalcitrant cancer with high malignancy and heterogeneity.Immunotherapy has changed the treatment pattern of extensive-disease SCLC(ED-SCLC),but the beneficiary population is limited.Therefore,exploring new therapeutic strategies is an urgent clinical problem to be solved for SCLC.SCLC is characterized by highly active glycolytic metabolism and pyruvate kinase Ml(PKM1)is one of the isozymes of PK,an important rate-limiting enzyme in glycolysis pathway.Previous studies have shown that PKM1 is related to autophagy and drug sensitivity,however,how PKM1 regulates drug sensitivity in SCLC and its mechanism remain unclear.The aim of this study was to investigate the biological functions of PKM1 in SCLC,including its effects on proliferation,migra-tion,autophagy,drug sensitivity,and expression of neuroendocrine(NE)-related markers in SCLC.Methods Western blot was used to detect the expression level of PKM1 in SCLC cells.PKM1 gene-overexpressed SCLC cell lines were constructed by stable lentivirus transfection.Proliferation of cells and drug sensitivity were detected by MTT,and migration ability of cells was determined by Transwell.The level of autophagy was detected by flow cytometry.Western blot was used to determine the expression levels of NE-related proteins.Results PKM1 was differentially expressed among various SCLC cell lines,and was lower in H1092 cells(P<0.01).Compared with the control group,there was no significant difference in proliferation level of PKM1 overexpressing H1092 cell,but the migration ability was significantly increased(P<0.001),the drug sensitivity was re-duced,and the level of autophagy was inhibited(P<0.001).Additionally,overexpression of PKM1 could upregulate the expres-sion of non-neuroendocrine(non-NE)-related proteins(P<0.01)and decrease the expression of NE-related proteins(P<0.01).Conclusion PKM1 was differentially expressed in SCLC cell lines,and high expression of PKM1 did not affect the prolifera-tion,but affected the migration of SCLC cells.PKM1 might affect drug sensitivity by inhibiting autophagy and regulating the expression of NE markers.These results provide a theoretical basis for exploring the role of PKM1 in SCLC.
