RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the relationship between mutated genes and clinical features in patients with essential thrombocythemia (ET). METHODS: The clinical data of 69 patients with ET from October 2018 to March 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. According to driver mutation type, patients were divided into JAK2 group, CALR group and triple-negative group. The sex, age, cardiovascular risk factors, thrombosis, splenomegaly, routine blood test and coagulation status of patients in three groups were analyzed. RESULTS: Among 69 ET patients, 46 cases were associated with JAK2 mutation, 14 cases with CALR mutation, 8 cases with triple-negative mutation, and one with MPL gene mutation. There were no significant differences in age and sex among the three groups (P >0.05). The highest thrombotic rate was 26.09% (12/46) in JAK2 group, then 12.5% (1/8) in triple-negative group, while no thrombotic events occurred in CALR group. The incidence of splenomegaly was the highest in JAK2 group (34.78%), while no splenomegaly occurred in triple-negative group. The white blood cell (WBC) count in JAK2 group was (9.00±4.86)×109/L, which was significantly higher than (6.03±2.32)×109/L in CALR group (P <0.05). The hemoglobin (Hb) and hematocrit (HCT) in JAK2 group were (148.42±18.79) g/L and (0.44±0.06)%, respectively, which were both significantly higher than (131.00±15.17) g/L and (0.39±0.05)% in triple-negative group (P <0.05). The platelet (PLT) in JAK2 group was (584.17±175.77)×109/L, which was significantly lower than (703.07±225.60)×109/L in CALR group (P <0.05). The fibrinogen (Fg) in JAK2 and triple-negative group were (2.64±0.69) g/L and (3.05±0.77) g/L, respectively, which were both significantly higher than (2.24±0.47) g/L in CALR group (P <0.05, P <0.01). The activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) in triple-negative group was (28.61±1.99) s, which was significantly decreased compared with (31.45±3.35) s in CALR group (P <0.05). CONCLUSIONS: There are differences in blood cell count and coagulation status among ET patients with different driver gene mutations. Among ET patients, JAK2 mutation is most common. Compared with CALR group, the thrombotic rate, WBC and Fg significantly increase in JAK2 group, while PLT decrease. Compared with triple-negative group, the incidence of splenomegaly and HCT significantly increase. Compared with CALR group, Fg significantly increases but APTT decreases in triple-negative group.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: To understand the biological characteristics of polycythemia vera (PV) patients with myeloid fibroplasia, and further analyze the risk factors affecting myeloid fibroplasia in PV patients, so as to provide ideas for predicting the occurrence of myeloid fibroplasia in PV patients. METHODS: Forty patients with PV in the Department of Hematology, Xiyuan Hospital of China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences were collected and divided into two groups, with (hyperplasia group) and without (Non-proliferative group) hyperplasia of bone marrow fibers. The differences of basic clinical characteristics, blood routine, biochemistry, bone marrow cells, coagulation function and other indicators between the two groups were compared, and the independent risk factors affecting the proliferation of bone marrow fibrous tissue in PV patients were further analyzed by multivariate regression. RESULTS: Compared with Non-proliferative group, the JAK2 mutation rate (95% vs 70%,P=0.037), eosinophilic cell count (0.19 vs 0.11, P=0.047) and eosinophilic percentage (1.84 vs 1.27, P=0.001) in PV patients with hyperplasia were significantly increased, triglycerides (1.55 vs 1.91, P=0.038) and low-density lipoprotein (1.50 vs 3.08, P=0.000) were significantly reduced, bone marrow hematopoietic volume (0.85 vs 0.6, P=0.001), granulocyte/erythrocyte ratio (3.40 vs 1.89, P=0.033), lymphocyte/erythrocyte ratio (0.60 vs 0.42, P=0.033), and granulocyte+lymphocyte/erythrocyte ratio (3.72 vs 2.37, P=0.026) were significantly increased, thrombin time (18.84 vs 18.12, P=0.043) was significantly prolonged. Multivariate regression analysis results showed that peripheral blood eosinophil ≥2% and low-density lipoprotein ≤2 mmol/L were independent risk factors for bone marrow fibrous tissue hyperplasia in PV patients (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Increased proportion of peripheral blood eosinophils and decreased low density lipoprotein are risk factors for bone marrow fibrous tissue hyperplasia in PV patients.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: To compare the clinical effect of arsenic-containing Qinghuang Powder (QHP) and low-intensity chemotherapy (LIC) in treatment of elderly acute myeloid leukemia (eAML) patients. METHODS: Clinical data of 80 eAML patients treated at Xiyuan Hospital of China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences from January 2015 to December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. The treatment scheme was designed by real world study according to patients' preference, and patients were divided into a QHP group (35 cases) and a LIC group (45 cases). The median overall survival (mOS), 1-, 2-, and 3-year OS rates, and incidence of adverse events were compared between the two groups. RESULTS: The mOS of 80 patients was 11 months, and the 1-, 2-, and 3-year OS rates were 45.51%, 17.96%, and 11.05%, respectively. The QHP and LIC groups demonstrated no significant difference in mOS (12 months vs. 10 months), 1- (48.57% vs. 39.65%), 2- (11.43% vs. 20.04%), and 3-year OS rates (5.71% vs. 13.27%, all P>0.05). Moreover, the related factors of mOS demonstrated no significant difference in patients with age>75 years (11 months vs. 8 months), secondary AML (11 months vs. 8 months), poor genetic prognosis (9 months vs. 7 months), Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status score ⩾ 3 (10 months vs. 7 months) and hematopoietic stem cell transplant comorbidity index ⩾ 4 (11 months vs. 7 months) between the QHP and LIC groups (all P>0.05). However, the incidence of myelosuppression was significantly lower in the QHP group than that in the LIC group (28.57% vs. 73.33%, P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS: QHP and LIC had similar survival rates in eAML patients, but QHP had a lower myelosuppression incidence. Hence, QHP can be an alternative for eAML patients who do not tolerate LIC.

RESUMEN

Purpose: Primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is an immune disease with a diagnosis of exclusion, since no validated biomarkers have been identified. In this study, we explored biomarkers associated with the development of ITP from an immune perspective to inform the clinical diagnosis. Patients and Methods: Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between normal and ITP samples were analyzed using limma package. Random forest algorithm and LASSO regression were further used to screen for DEGs associated with ITP. The expression of these hub genes was validated by PCR. The relationship between DEGs and immunity was explored by enrichment analysis. Immune cell infiltration in ITP was analyzed by CIBERSORT and ssGSEA, and the relationship between DEGs and infiltrating immune cells was analyzed by Spearman's rank correlation analysis. Finally, a diagnostic model related to DEGs was constructed by the neural network, and its efficiency was detected by the ROC curve. Results: After screening the GEO database and validation by PCR analysis, The expression of CTH and TAF8 were higher and while OSBP2 expression was lower in ITP patients compared to normal subjects (P<0.05). GO enrichment analysis showed that these DEGs were associated with inflammatory immune-related diseases, and KEGG analysis showed that they mainly regulated signaling pathways such as JAK-STAT. CIBERSORT and ssGSEA analyses showed that these DEGs were mainly associated with macrophage M1 polarization. The expression of CTH and TAF8 were positively correlated with M1 expression, while OSBP2 was negatively correlated with M1 expression. The ROC curve showed high accuracy of the neural network model [AUC= 0.939, 95% CI (0.8-1)]. Conclusion: Our results suggest that CTH, TAF8, and OSBP2 can be used as effective diagnostic biomarkers of ITP.

RESUMEN

We explored the mechanisms and molecular targets of Ejiao Siwu Decoction (EJSW) for treating primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) using network pharmacology and molecular docking. Active compounds of EJSW were identified by high-performance liquid chromatography-diode array detector (HPLC-DAD) and high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS) and their targets were obtained from HERB and SwissTargetPrediction, and ITP targets were obtained from Comparative Toxicogenomics Database (CTD) and GeneCards. STRING and Cytoscape were used for protein-protein interaction (PPI) network analysis. Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analyses by WebGestalt yielded a gene-pathway network, Autodock molecular docking was applied to screen targets and active compounds, and cytokines were detected using a cytometric bead array (CBA) human inflammation kit. We identified 14 compounds and 129 targets, and 1,726 ITP targets. RAC-alpha serine/threonine-protein kinase (AKT1), tumour necrosis factor (TNF), interleukin-6 (IL6), caspase-3 (CASP3) and tumour suppressor protein (TP53) were core targets (nodes and edges). Functional annotation identified cofactor binding and coenzyme binding, and 20 significantly enriched pathways. Active compounds of EJSW were successfully docked with ITP targets. Tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin-1 beta (IL-1ß) were upregulated in ITP patients, vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A) and vascular endothelial growth factor D (VEGF-D) were downregulated, and EJSW treatment reversed these trends. EJSW may regulate key ITP targets based on the in silico analyses, and protect vascular integrity through AGE-RAGE signalling, complement and coagulation cascades, and VEGF signalling by downregulating TNF-α, IL-1ß and other inflammatory factors.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: To analysis the specific protein markers of essential thrombocythemia (ET) based on proteomics technology, to explore and verify the differential protein related to platelet activation. METHODS: Blood samples were obtained from ET patients and healthy people and a certain protein mass spectrometry was detected using label-free quantitative technology. The proteins relative abundance increased or down-regulated by 1.3 times in the disease group compared with the control group, and the protein abundance in the two groups t test P<0.05 were defined as differential proteins. Bioinformatics analysis of the differential proteins was performed using GO and KEGG. The difference in the average protein abundance between the two groups was analyzed by t test and P<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Differential proteins were selected for verification by parallel reaction monitoring (PRM) technology. RESULTS: A total of 140 differential proteins were found, of which 72 were up-regulated and 68 were down-regulated. KEGG enrichment showed that the differential protein expression was related to the platelet activation pathway. The differential proteins related to platelet activation were GPV, COL1A2, GP1bα, COL1A1 and GPVI. Among them, the expressions of GPV, GP1bα and GPVI were up-regulated, and the expressions of COL1A2 and COL1A1 were down-regulated. PRM verification of COL1A1, GP1bα, GPVI and GPV was consistent with LFP proteomics testing. CONCLUSION: Differential proteins in ET patients are related to platelet activation pathway activation.Differential proteins such as GPV, GPVI, COL1A1 and GP1bα can be used as new targets related to ET platelet activation.

RESUMEN

Mono-cationic ionic liquids (MILs) have been widely utilized for the treatment of lignocelluloses. However, the hydrophilic property of MILs increases the difficulty of isolating sugars and their reuse, which limits their industrial application. In the present study, a series of dicationic ionic liquids (DILs) were synthesized with totally different di-cations and di-anions. An alternating miscibility of DILs with water was observed depending on the dealing temperature. The functional DILs exhibiting hydrophobic and acidic properties were investigated for the treatment of corn stalk. High yields of sugars were achieved as 27.8% and 31.6% with DIL3 and DIL4, respectively. Cellulosic materials were obtained as 74.3% and 77.8% with DIL1 and DIL2 and 61.2% and 65.7% with DIL3 and DIL4, respectively. Enzymatic reaction was successfully performed with cellulosic materials after the DIL treatment. DILs were recycled and reused with no significant reduction in sugar yields. Hydrophobic DILs are a potentially effective approach to enable the successful decomposition and degradation of lignocellulosic biomass.

RESUMEN

AbstractObjective: To analyze the DNA methylation gene mutations of myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN), and preliminarily explore its clinical features. METHODS: Next-generation sequencing technology was used to detect 31 MPN-related genes in 105 cases of MPN patients ï¼»40 cases of polycythaemia vera (PV), 65 cases of essential thrombocythemia (ET)ï¼½, and to analyze the relationship between DNA methylation gene mutations and clinical features. RESULTS: 15 mutation types were detected in 105 patients (88 mutations in total), and the total mutation detection rate was 87.6% (92/105). A total of 23 mutations in 4 DNA methylation genes (TET2, DNMT3A, IDH1, IDH2) were detected in 22 patients. The mutation rate of DNA methylation genes was 21.0%, mainly in the form of double mutations, including JAK2 V617F and TET2 (n=10), JAK2 V617F and DNMT3A (n=4), CALR and TET2 (n=2), JAK2 V617F and IDH1 (n=1). Compared with MPN patients without DNA methylation gene mutations, the proportion of women with DNA methylation gene mutations and the white blood cell count (WBC) were significantly higher (P<0.05). Compared with MPN patients with triple-negative driver genes, the proportion of women with DNA methylation gene mutations, age, WBC, platelet count (PLT), and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) were significantly higher (P<0.05). The remaining difference was not statistically significant (P>0.05). The MPN10 score, the incidence of thrombotic events, and the proportion of medium-risk and high-risk patients with DNA methylation gene mutations were significantly higher than those of MPN patients without DNA methylation gene mutations (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: The mutation rate of DNA methylation genes was 21.0%, mainly coexisting in the form of double mutations. The proportion of women with DNA methylation gene mutations in MPN patients and WBC is high, the symptom load is heavy, the incidence of thrombosis is high, and the proportion of medium-high-risk patients is high, suggesting that their prognosis may be poor.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the relationship between JAK2 gene mutation and clinical indicators in patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN). METHODS: 122 MPN patients in the Department of Hematology, Xiyuan Hospital, China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences from September 2017 to January 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. The relationship between JAK2 gene mutation and sex, age, peripheral blood cell count, splenomegaly, and thrombosis and bleeding events were analyzed. RESULTS: In 122 patients with MPN, the patients with polycythemia vera (PV) accounted for 36 (29.5%), the patients with essential thrombocythemia (ET) accounted for 56 (45.9%), the patients with myelofibrosis (MF) accounted for 30 (24.6%). The JAK2 gene mutation rate in MPN patients was 64.6% (79/122), and the JAK2 gene mutation rate in PV, ET and MF groups were 77.7% (28/36), 60.7% (34/56) and 56.7% (17/30), the JAK2 gene mutation rate of the patients in PV group was statistically significant as compared with those in the ET group (P<0.05). The hemoglobin (Hb) count of the patients in JAK2 gene mutation group was higher than those in wild-type group ï¼»(150.0±39.6)g/L vs (129.4±38.9)g/L, P<0.05ï¼½; the white blood cell (WBC) count of the patients in JAK2 gene mutation group was higher than those in the wild type group ï¼»(9.5±4.7)×109/L vs (8.4±46.9)×109/L, P<0.05ï¼½. As for the patients in PV group, the platelet count of the patients in JAK2 gene mutation group was higher than those in the wild type group ï¼»(370.2±113.1)×109/L vs (264.8±63.9)×109/L, P<0.05ï¼½. The incidence of splenomegaly in MPN patients was 35.2% (43/122), and the incidence of splenomegaly in MF patients was 63.3% (19/30), and the incidence of splenomegaly in the patients in JAK2 gene mutation group in MF group (82.4%, 12/17) was significantly higher than those in the wild-type group (38.5%, 5/13) (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: The mutation rate of JAK2 gene in MPN patients is higher, and the mutation rate of JAK2 gene in PV patients is higher than that in ET and MF patients; JAK2 gene mutations in MPN patients are related to hemogram index; the incidence of splenomegaly is the highest in MF patients, and splenomegaly is related to the occurrence of JAK2 gene mutations in MF patients.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the expressions of microRNAs in peripheral blood of patients with primary immune thrombocytopenia(ITP) and its correlation with the imbalance of Th1/Th2 cells. METHODS: Thirty patients with ITP (ITP group) and 15 healthy people (control group) were enrolled.Real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used to detect the expressions of six miRNAs (miR-107,miR-205-5p,miR-138-5p,miR-326,miR-1827,miR-185-5p) and Th1-specific transcription factor T-bet mRNA and Th2-specific transcription factor GATA-3 mRNA in the peripheral blood of the two groups. Th1 and Th2 cells were detected by flow cytometry. The expressions of Th1-cytokines TNF-α and IFN-γ and Th2-cytokines IL-4 and IL-10 were detected by AimPlex multiple immunoassays for Flow. The expression difference of miRNAs, mRNA, Th1, Th2 cells and cytokines of the two groups were compared, and the correlations of miRNAs to mRNA, Th1, Th2 cells and cytokines were analyzed in ITP group. RESULTS: The expressions of miRNAs(miR-107, miR-205-5p, miR-138-5p, miR-326, miR-1827, miR-185-5p)and Th2-specific transcription factor GATA-3 mRNA of the patients in ITP group were significantly decreased (P<0.05) as compared with those in control, while the expressions of Th1 cells and Th1-specific transcription factor T-bet mRNA and Th1-cytokines TNF-α were significantly increased (P<0.05), also for the ratios of T-bet mRNA/GATA-3 mRNA and Th1/Th2 cells were significantly increased (P<0.05). The relative expressions of miR-107, miR-205-5p, miR-138-5p in ITP patients were negatively correlated with Th2 cells (r=-0.411, r=-0.593, r=-0.403,P<0.05) and the relative expression of miR-1827 was negatively correlated with TNF-α (r=-0.390). CONCLUSION: The relative expressions of the six miRNAs in peripheral blood of patients with ITP are significantly decreased, which result in the increasing ratio of T-bet mRNA/GATA-3 mRNA, then lead to the imbalance of Th1/Th2.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: To explore the relationship between the efficacy of realgar for the treatment of myelodysplastic syndromes with multilineage dysplasia (MDS-MLD) and arsenic concentration in the peripheral blood of patients. METHODS: In this prospective study, a total of 50 MDS-MLD patients were treated with traditional Chinese drugs containing realgar for 3 months in Xiyuan Hospital from March 2018 to January 2019. Routine blood examination as well as liver and kidney function were monitored before and after treatment. The concentration of arsenic in the peripheral blood was measured using an atomic fluorescence spectrometer after treatment. The correlation between clinical effect and arsenic concentration was analyzed by Spearman's method. RESULTS: The treatment response rate was 54%. Two patients (4% ) achieved complete remission, 50% (25 of 50) showed hematologic improvement, and 23 patients had stable disease (23% ). No disease progression was observed. Arsenic concentration in the peripheral blood ranged from 14.60 to 85.96 µg/L. Clinical efficacy was positively correlated with arsenic concentration (P < 0.05). The incidence of mild adverse reactions was 16%. CONCLUSION: A relatively high concentration of arsenic in the peripheral blood may improve the clinical efficacy of realgar in MDS-MLD patients.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate the effect of ultrasound-diagnosed adenomyosis on assisted pregnancy outcomes, i.e., in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET). METHODS: This was a retrospective cohort study of 18,568 women who had received their first frozen-thawed ET cycle in Center of Reproductive Medicine, Children's Hospital of Shanxi and Women Health Center of Shanxi and the Reproductive Medicine Center of Tianjin Central Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital from January 2014 to May 2019. A total of 5,087 patients met the inclusion and exclusion criteria, and they were divided into two groups: adenomyosis with tubal factor infertility (study group, n = 193) and only tubal factor infertility (control group, n = 4894). After a 1:1 propensity score match (caliper value = 0.005), 360 cases were matched in the end. RESULT: There was no statistical difference in the embryo implantation rate, clinical pregnancy rate, or multiple pregnancy rate between the two groups (28.4% vs. 31.7%, 42.2% vs. 42.8%, and 11.7% vs. 12.8%, respectively; P > 0.05). However, the early miscarriage rate in the adenomyosis group was significantly higher than that in the control group (13.3% vs. 5.6%, respectively; P = 0.012). The live birth rate was 22.8% in the women with adenomyosis and was observed to be significantly lower than 33.3% in the control group (P = 0.026). The patients with adenomyosis had a higher incidence of pregnancy complications than those without (4.4% vs. 0.6%, respectively; P = 0.018), but the neonatal birth weight was not related to adenomyosis. CONCLUSION: Women with adenomyosis should be treated as being at high risk of early miscarriage. However, maternal adenomyosis has no effect on the birth weight of the newborn.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the damaging of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) induced by antiplatelet integrin ß3 antibodies in vitro. METHODS: The serum from 36 chronic ITP patients were collected, flow cytometry and monoclonal antibody specific immobilization of platelet antigen (MAIPA) assay were used to collect antiplatelet integrin ß3 antibodies from the serum of the patients. After HUVEC were treated by ITP patient serum (PS) containing anti-integrin ß3 antibodies, the cell damage was detected by Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) assay, cell apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry, the expression of apoptosis-related gene Bax was detected by Reverse transcription-Quantitative real-time PCR (RT-qPCR), and expression of Apoptosis-related signaling pathway protein Akt and related protein Bax were detected by Western blot. HUVEC were treated by PS combined with Akt activator SC79, the cells damage were detected by LDH assay, apoptosis of the cells were detected by flow cytometry, the expression of apoptosis-related gene Bax was detected by RT-qPCR. RESULTS: Among 36 cases of serum from the chronic ITP patients, 5 patients' serum containing anti-integrin ß3 antibodies were collected. After HUVEC was treated by PS, the viability of LDH was significant increased(P<0.05), so as for the apoptosis of the cells(P<0.05), the expression of gene and protein of Bax was increased up-regulated(P<0.05), the protein expression of pAkt was down-regulated(P<0.05). Comparing with HUVEC cultured with PS alone, the viability of LDH of HUVEC treated by PS combined with SC79 was significantly reduced(P<0.05), so as for the apoptosis of the cells(P<0.05), and gene expression of Bax was significantly decreased(P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Anti-integrin ß3 serum can cause the damage and apoptosis of HUVEC through Akt signaling pathway,the apoptotic effects of anti-integrin ß3 antibodies to HUVEC was effectively reversed by SC79.

RESUMEN

Recently, the Schlafen (SLFN) proteins have been identified as a novel interferon-stimulated family with antiviral properties. In this study, we reported that SLFN11 inhibited prototype foamy virus (PFV) replication. Over-expression of human SLFN11 reduced viral production, while knockdown of SLFN11 enhanced viral infectivity. In addition, SLFN11 from cattle and African green monkey also suppressed PFV production. Both the ATPase activity and helicase activity of SLFN11 were required for its inhibitory function. Dephosphorylation activated the antiviral activity of SLFN11. More importantly, SLFN11 inhibited the expression of viral protein, which was rescued by viral gene codon optimization. Together, our results demonstrated that SLFN11 impaired PFV viral protein synthesis by exploiting the distinct codon usage between the virus and the host. These findings further broaden our understanding of the antiviral properties of the SLFN family and the molecular mechanism of PFV latent infection.

RESUMEN

Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) plays an important role in the growth and development of plants. In this study, a series of predominant strains were isolated and identified as Enterobacter sp. with remarkable IAA-producing capabilities. The IAA-producing strains are mainly tryptophan-dependent and have significantly high yields of IAA (3477 µg mL-1 and 3378 µg mL-1). The ipdC gene encoding indole-3-pyruvate decarboxylase was identified by genomic analysis and RT-qPCR analysis, indicating the involvement of the indole-3-pyruvic acid (IPyA) pathway of IAA biosynthesis. The IPyA pathway was also confirmed by the intermediate assay. The IAA product of microbial metabolites was isolated, purified and characterized. These microbes exhibiting IAA production significantly promoted the growth of maize, increasing root length, plant height, fresh weight and dry weight. Thus, Enterobacter sp. with high IAA production has great prospects in agricultural and industrial applications.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: Previous studies mainly reported the clinical characteristics of novel coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) infections, but the research on clinical characteristics and treatment outcomes of COVID-19 patients with stroke is still rare. METHODS: A multi-center retrospective study was conducted at 11 hospitals in 4 provinces of China, and COVID-19 patients with stroke were enrolled from February 24 to May 4, 2020. We analyzed epidemiological, demographic, and clinical characteristics of cases as well as the laboratory test results, treatment regimens and outcomes, and the clinical characteristics and therapeutic outcomes were compared between severe and nonsevere patients, and by age group, respectively. RESULTS: A total of 27 patients [mean age: 66.41 (SD 12.1) years] were enrolled. Among them, 9 (33.3%) were severe patients and 18 (66.7%) were nonsevere patients; 17 (63.0%) were female; 19 (70.4%) were aged 60 years and above. The most common symptoms were fever [19 (70.4%)], fatigue [12 (44.4%)] and cough [11 (40.7%)], respectively. Abnormal laboratory findings of COVID-19 patients with stroke included high levels of C-reactive protein [19 (73.1%)], D-dimer [14 (58.3%)], blood glucose [14 (53.8%)], fibrinogen [13 (50.0%)], and decreased lymphocytes [12 (44.4%)]. Comparing to nonsevere cases with stroke, severe patients with stroke were likely to be older, susceptible to receiving oxygen inhalation, and had more complications (p < 0.05). In addition, there were significant differences in lymphocytes, neutrophils, lactate dehydrogenase, C-reactive protein, creatine kinase between the severe cases and nonsevere cases (p < 0.05). The older patients had a decreased platelet count and elevated fibrinogen, compared with the younger (p < 0.05). All patients (100%) received antiviral treatment, 12 (44.4%) received antibiotics treatment, 26 (96.3%) received Traditional Chinese Medicine (Lung cleansing & detoxifying decoction), and oxygen inhalation was in 18 (66.7%). The median duration of hospitalization was 16 days. By May 4, 2020, a total of 26 (96.3%) patients were cured and discharged, and 1 (3.7%) patients died. CONCLUSION: COVID-19 patients with stroke had poor indicators of coagulation system, and severe and older patients might have a higher risk of complications and unfavorable coagulation system. However, the overall treatment outcome is favorable.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: X-linked agammaglobulinemia is a primary immunodeficiency disease caused by gene mutations of Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK). We found a new mutation point and summarized the correlation analysis and performed a literature review. CASE SUMMARY: The proband was a 5-year-old boy. He was admitted to our hospital due to a recurrent cough and a fever that had persisted for a month. He had a history of multiple respiratory infections and sinusitis. There was no immunodeficiency or recurrent infection history among his family members. Agammaglobulinemia was characterized as follows: Immunoglobulin (Ig) A, 90.0 mg/dL (90-450 mg/dL); IgG, 20.0 mg/dL (800-1800 mg/dL); and IgM, 18.0 mg/dL (60-280 mg/dL). Notably, the assessment of IgG subtypes revealed the following very low levels: Subtype 1, 0.26 g/L (3.62-12.28 g/L); subtype 2, 0.10 g/L (0.57-2.9 g/L); subtype 3, 0.009 g/L (0.129-0.789 g/L); and subtype 4, 0.003 g/L (0.013-1.446 g/L). Cellular immunological test results were as follows: CD3, 74.6% (50%-84.0%); CD4, 47.3% (27.0%-51.0%); and CD8, 24.9% (15.0%-44.0%). A de novo hemizygous deletion in BTK was detected: c.902_c.904delAAG/p.E301del. Transcript levels of the mutant BTK were similar to those of the wild-type gene, though overexpression resulted in markedly reduced levels of mutant BTK (9.49% ± 1.58%), relative to the wild-type BTK (75.8% ± 2.98%, P < 0.01). CONCLUSION: This case of X-linked agammaglobulinemia was attributed to a de novo hemizygous deletion mutation in BTK (c.902_c.904delAAG/p.E301del). The mutation resulted in markedly reduced BTK protein stability in vitro.
