Objective:To study the clinical features of enlarged subarachnoid space (ESS) and its effects on brain parenchymal volume in preterm infants.Methods:From November 2014 to November 2021, a retrospective case-control study was performed on preterm infants admitted to neonatal intensive care unit of our hospital with gestational age (GA)<32 w and having brain MR imaging. At full-term of corrected GA, the superior sagittal sinus-cortical spacing (sinocortical width, SCW) was measured on brain MR imaging. The infants were assigned into ESS and non-ESS groups according to whether SCW was greater than 3.5 mm. Perinatal factors, preterm-related complications and the brain volumetric indices were compared between the two groups.Results:A total of 160 preterm infants with GA<32 w were included, 76 (47.5%) were in the ESS group, SCW:(4.48±1.47) mm, and 84 were in the non-ESS group, SCW: (2.49±0.68) mm. GA and birth weight (BW) of the ESS group were significantly smaller than the non-ESS group [(28.7±2.6) weeks vs.(29.8±2.5) weeks, (1 114±279)g vs. (1 208±290)g]( P<0.05). Small GA was an independent risk factor for the development of ESS in preterm infants with GA<32w ( OR=1.217,95% CI 1.017~1.457, P=0.032). On MR imaging, the ESS group had significantly higher total cranial cavity volume than the non-ESS group [(354.1±33.6)ml vs. (316.9±36.3) ml] ( P<0.05). No significant differences existed on head circumference, gray matter volume and white matter volume between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:ESS is common in premature infants and correlated with GA and BW. Small GA is an independent risk factor for ESS in preterm infants. ESS shows little effects on head circumference and brain parenchymal volume during early postnatal period.

@#[Abstract] Objective: To observe the short-term efficacy and safety of Apatinib combined with radiotherapy and concurrent docetaxel and cisplatin chemotherapy in driver-gene-negative non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with brain metastases. Methods: A total of 72 NSCLC patients with brain metastases, who were treated in our hospital from June 2018 to June 2019, were enrolled in this study. The driver gene was proved to be negative by next generation sequencing (NGS). The patients were divided into control group (36 cases) and treatment group (36 cases) by Digital random grouping method.The control group received 2 cycles of chemotherapy with docetaxel and cisplatin and concurrent radiotherapy for brain metastases, and the treatment group was given Apatinib anti-angiogenic treatment based on the regimen in control group. Primary study endpoints: confirmed objective response rate (cORR) and disease control rate (DCR); Secondary study endpoints: progression-free survival (PFS), quality of life (QOL) score, serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and incidence of adverse drug events (AE). Results: Compared with the control group, cORR and DCR in treatment group were significantly improved [41.67% (15/36) vs 33.33% (12/36), 80.56% (29/36) vs 69.44% (25/36), all P<0.05], the median PFS was significantly prolonged (5.9 vs 4.6 months, P<0.05), and serum CEA and VEGF levels were significantly reduced [(16.5±2.3) vs (22.9±3.7) ng/ml, (291.6±42.6) vs (479.3±50.2) ng/L, all P<0.05], while the QOL score was slightly increased, but the difference was not statistically significant [(69.5±8.5) points vs (64.1±7.3) points, P>0.05]. There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of acute brain edema, gastrointestinal reaction, bone marrow suppression, and liver dysfunction between the two groups of patients (all P>0.05); however, the incidences of oral mucositis, hand-foot syndrome, hypertension and proteinuria in the treatment group were significantly higher than those in the control group (all P<0.05). Conclusion: The efficacy of Apatinib combined with radiochemotherapy in driver-negative NSCLC patients with brain metastases is significantly better than that of radiochemotherapy alone, and the adverse reactions can be controlled. It is worthy of clinical recommendation.

Objective: To explore clinical features and severity of chronic graft- versus- host disease (cGVHD) after chemotherapy plus donor lymphocyte infusion (Chemo-DLI) in a consecutive cohort of acute leukemia patients who were minimal residual disease (MRD) positive after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) . Methods: The global scoring system proposed by National Institutes of Health (NIH) Consensus Conference was used to identify the characteristics and severity of cGVHD in patients who MRD positive after Chemo-DLI. Results: 54 (59.3%) patients were diagnosed with cGVHD after Chemo-DLI, with the median time of onset of 70 (13-504) days. There were 6 cases (6.6%) of mild cGVHD, 21 cases (23.1%) of moderate cGVHD and 27 cases (29.7%) of severe cGVHD.The 5-year cumulative incidence of relapse after Chemo-DLI was 61.9% (95%CI 45.3%-78.5%) , 15.1% (95%CI 1.1%-29.1%) , and 26.6% (95%CI 9.2%-44.0%) (χ(2)=18.901, P<0.001) in non-cGVHD, mild to moderate cGVHD, and severe cGVHD groups, respectively. The 5-year cumulative incidence of relapse after Chemo-DLI was 61.9% (95%CI 45.3%-78.5%) , 19.9% (95%CI 8.1%-31.7%) , and 28.6% (95%CI 0.0%-65.0%) (χ(2)=18.307, P<0.001) in non-cGVHD, classical cGVHD, and overlap syndrome groups, respectively. cGVHD was not associated with non-relapse morality after Chemo-DLI. Probabilities of 5-year leukemia-free survival (LFS) after Chemo-DLI were 24.0% (95%CI 9.1%-38.9%) , 77.2% (95%CI 60.8%-93.6%) , and 64.9% (95%CI 45.7%-84.1%) (χ(2)=24.447, P<0.001) in non-cGVHD, mild to moderate cGVHD, and severe cGVHD groups, respectively. Probabilities of 5-year LFS after Chemo-DLI were 24.0% (95%CI 9.1%-38.9%) , 75.5% (95%CI 62.7%-88.3%) , and 42.9% (95%CI 1.8%-84.0%) (χ(2)=25.665, P<0.001) in non-cGVHD, classical cGVHD, and overlap syndrome groups, respectively. Probabilities of 5-year overall survival (OS) after Chemo-DLI were 50.0% (95%CI 31.1%-68.9%) , 87.9% (95%CI 74.7%-100.0%) , and 71.0% (95%CI 52.0%-90.0%) (χ(2)=9.517, P=0.009) in non-cGVHD, mild to moderate cGVHD, and severe cGVHD groups, respectively. Probabilities of 5-year OS after Chemo-DLI were 50.0% (95%CI 31.1%-68.9%) , 83.9% (95%CI 72.8%-95.0%) , and 51.4% (95%CI 6.2%-96.6%) (χ(2)=10.673, P=0.005) in non-cGVHD, classical cGVHD, and overlap syndrome groups, respectively. In multivariate analysis, patients receiving allo-HSCT in first complete remission stage and classical cGVHD after Chemo-DLI were associated with lower relapse risk and better survival. Conclusions: These findings highlight the close relation between cGVHD and the graft-versus-leukemia effect in patients who were MRD positive and received Chemo-DLI after allo-HSCT. However, overlap syndrome could not improve the clinical outcomes of these patients.

As propose of organ repair stem cell therapy technology, articular cartilage cannot be repaired by itself has become one of the research hotspots, repair of articular cartilage with mesenchymal stem cells has shown obvious advantages for the treatment. The scholars have made a preliminary study on the role of mesenchymal stem cells from different sources in the repair of knee articular cartilage, and with the combination of transplantation and cartilage tissue engineering, these technologies improved the human cartilage repair effect of bone marrow, adipose, synovium, cord blood derived stem cells, which achieved good clinical curative effect. Due to the different sources, the dominant and recessive factors, each stem cell will have certain advantages and disadvantages. At present, the clinical research is still in the experimental stage, there is no definite conclusion on which kind of stem cell or technology is more suitable for human cartilage repair. This requires the validation of large-scale or combining with new processing technology clinical trials and the long-term clinical effect, it also provides for the basis for further clinical research.

A hybridoma cell line(B10)was established by fusing spleen cells of BALB/c mou- se immunized with human thyroglobulin(HTG) with SP2/0 myeloma cells. An averagefusing rate of 6.3% and antibody-secreting positive well rate of 58.3% were obtained.During the first two months, the supernatant of B10 culture had a titer of 1/128 to1/2048 measured by hemagglutination method, and the ascites was positive at 1/64000-128000 and 1/320000 respectively as measured by hemagglutination and radioimmunoass-ay.The B10 cell line is very stable and has very high activity to produce anti-HTGmonoclonal antibodies. After several times of preservation in liquid nitrogen andpassage in culture for one year,a recent determination shows that cell culture super-natant and ascites still have very high titer,being 1/4096 and 1/1048576 respectively asmeasured by hemagglutination method. The chromosome number of the B10 hybridomacell is 99.5?7.4.The success of the establishment of this cell line is briefly discussed.Attempt to establish diagnostic kit with this monoclonal antibody is being undertaken.

Abstract Objective: To investigate the regulatory effect of PAF on early events in signal transduction during T-cell activation. Methods:T-cell activation was achieved by stimulation of human T cells with CD3 mAb or PMA/ionomycin in the presence or absence of PAF. T cell Pro-liferatilon was determined by 3 H-thymidine incorporation, IL-2 production was measured by MTT method, IL-2R(CD25)expression was evaluatedby flow cytometry and,PKC activity was assayed by the method described by Hauschildt. Results:PAF inhibited CD3 mAb-induced T-cell pro-liferation, IL-2 production and CD25 expression. AIthough it inhibited T-cell proliferation and IL-2 production induced by PMA/ionomycin, PAFfailed to inhibit IL-2 production induced by PMA/ionomycin.The translocation of PKC was also inhibited by PAF if T cells were activated byCD3mAb. Conclusion: PAF inhibits T-cell activation via its inhibitory effect on PKC activation. Its differential effect on IL-2 production suggeststhat PAF regulatory more early events in signal transduction such as the activation of phospholipase C ?-1.
