BACKGROUND:Anthocyanin is one of the most important active components in Lycium ruthenicum Murr,which has antioxidant and immunomodulatory effects.CD146+human adipose-derived pericytes/perivascular cells(CD146+hAD-PCs)are the progenitors of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells,which can promote the proliferation and differentiation of hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells in vitro.The support effect of anthocyanin in combination with CD146+hAD-PCs on umbilical cord blood hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells remains to be studied. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the supporting effect of anthocyanins in Lycium ruthenicum Murr(ALRM)combined with CD146+hAD-PCs on umbilical cord blood CD34+hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells(UCB CD34+HSPCs)in vitro. METHODS:The CCK-8 assay was used to detect the effect of different concentrations(0,200,400,600,800,1 000 mg/L)of ALRM on the proliferation of CD146+hAD-PCs.Flow cytometry was used to detect the effect of ALRM on the cell cycle of CD146+hAD-PCs.The co-culture experiments were divided into blank group,ALRM group,CD146+hAD-PCs group,and ALRM+CD146+hAD-PCs group to analyze the in vitro supporting effect of ALRM combined with CD146+hAD-PCs on UCB CD34+HSPCs.The number of expanded cells and the number of colony-forming units were compared at 1,2,and 4 weeks of co-culture.The immunophenotype of cells was detected by flow cytometry.The level of cytokines was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)The cell viability of CD146+hAD-PCs was highest at an ALRM concentration of 200 mg/L,the proportion of G0/G1 phase cells decreased and the proportion of S and G2/M phase cells increased in CD146+hAD-PCs(P<0.01).(2)The change in number of UCB CD34+HSPCs cells in the ALRM+CD146+hAD-PCs group was higher than that in the ALRM group at 1,2,and 4 weeks of co-culture(all P<0.05),and higher than that in CD146+hAD-PCs group at 2 and 4 weeks of co-culture(all P<0.05).The number of cells in the ALRM group and blank group decreased gradually with the extension of co-culture time.(3)Colony forming capacity and immunophenotype analysis:The number of colony-forming units in the ALRM+CD146+hAD-PCs group was higher than that in the CD146+hAD-PCs group and ALRM group at 1 and 2 weeks of co-culture(P<0.05).The proportion of CD45+and CD34+CD33-cells in the ALRM+CD146+hAD-PCs group was higher than that in the CD146+hAD-PCs group at 1 and 2 weeks of co-culture(all P<0.01).(4)Changes in cytokines:Interleukin-2 level in the ALRM+CD146+hAD-PCs group was higher than that in the ALRM and CD146+hAD-PCs groups(P<0.05).The interleukin-3 content of the ALRM+CD146+hAD-PCs group was higher than that of the CD146+hAD-PCs group at 2 and 4 weeks(P<0.05).The expression level of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor in the ALRM+CD146+hAD-PCs group was higher than that in the CD146+hAD-PCs group at 1 week,and higher than that in the ALRM group and CD146+hAD-PCs group at 2 weeks(P<0.01).Interferon-γ content in the ALRM group and ALRM+CD146+hAD-PCs group was lower than that in the CD146+hAD-PCs group at 1,2,and 4 weeks of co-culture(P<0.01).(5)Due to the absence of stromal cells in the blank group,UCB CD34+HSPCs could not be counted after 1 week of co-culture and were not subjected to immunophenotyping,colony analysis,or cytokine assays.(6)In summary,ALRM can promote the expansion of UCB CD34+HSPCs in vitro by promoting CD146+hAD-PCs proliferation and cell cycle transformation,which is of great value in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

Objective To evaluate the current situation of disease control in middle-aged and elderly patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and analyze the relationship with disease cognition. Methods Among the 360 middle-aged and elderly COPD patients diagnosed and treated in our hospital from January 2022 to June 2024 were retrospectively selected as research subjects, and the COPD Assessment Test Questionnaire (CAT), COPD Patient Knowledge Questionnaire (BCKQ) and the hampion Health Belief Model Scale were used to evaluate disease control, disease cognition and health beliefs in COPD patients. The Pearson chi-square test was used to analyze the relationship between disease control level and disease cognition and health beliefs in older patients with COPD. Results A total of 360 middle-aged and elderly COPD patients, 112 were in the complete control group, 189 were in the partial control group, and 59 were in the uncontrolled group, the disease control rate was 83.61%. The differences in disease cognitive scores, severity cognition, susceptibility cognition, disorder cognition, benefit cognition, health motivation, self-efficacy score and total health belief scores in middle-aged and elderly COPD patients with different disease control conditions are statistically significant. The scores of the complete control group were higher than those of partial control group and uncontrolled group, and the scores of partial control group were higher than those of the uncontrolled group (P <0.05). The disease control level of middle-aged and elderly patients with COPD is positively correlated with disease cognitive level and health belief in all dimensions. The higher the disease control level, the higher the disease cognitive level and health belief in the patient . Conclusions Middle-aged and elderly COPD patients still have insufficient awareness of the disease, and the level of disease control needs to be improved. There is a significant correlation between disease cognition, health beliefs and the level of disease control, and the improved cognitive level may help to improve the disease management and control effect. For middle-aged and elderly COPD patients, the community can provide health education courses, personalized health guidance and self-management training to enhance their awareness of diseases, so as to improve the long-term management of COPD and the quality of life of patients.

Objective:To analyze clinical characteristics of cutaneous delayed-type hypersensitivity caused by injection of equine tetanus antitoxin (TAT) or equine anti-tetanus immunoglobulin F (ab′) 2. Methods:Clinical data were collected from 181 outpatients or inpatients with cutaneous delayed-type hypersensitivity caused by injection of equine TAT or anti-tetanus immunoglobulin from 2008 to 2020, and retrospectively analyzed.Results:Before the injection of equine TAT or anti-tetanus immunoglobulin, skin test was negative in 171 (94.47%) of the 181 patients, and the 10 (5.53%) patients with positive skin test responses received desensitization injection. Among the 181 patients, there were 118 males and 63 females aged from 11 to 68 years, with the disease duration of 1 to 7 days and alatency period of 4 to 14 days. There was no significant difference in the clinical manifestations between the patients receiving injection of TAT (130 cases) and those receiving injection of equine anti-tetanus immunoglobulin (51 cases) . Urticaria-like rashes were the main clinical manifestation, and infiltrative erythema occurred at the injection site in 12 patients, of whom 10 developed generalized urticaria all over the body. Of the 181 patients, 163 (90.06%) presented with generalized skin rashes, and 56 (30.94%) had systemic symptoms such as chest tightness, fever, etc, of whom 15 (26.79%) had a history of allergies and 6 with severe symptoms had no history of allergies. Thirty-four (18.78%) patients had single or multiple laboratory abnormalities, such as increased white blood cell counts, elevated C-reactive protein level and urinary glucose, and presence of occult blood in urine. All cases responded well to the treatment with antihistamines and glucocorticoids. The treatment duration ranged from 3 to 10 days, and the outcome was good.Conclusion:TAT-or anti-tetanus immunoglobulin-induced cutaneous delayed-type hypersensitivity may still occur in patients with a negative skin test or after desensitization treatment, and mainly manifests as urticaria-like rashes.
