Abstract
This registration study assessed clinical outcomes of TQ-B3525, the dual phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K) α/δ inhibitor, in relapsed and/or refractory follicular lymphoma (R/R FL). This phase II study (ClinicalTrials.gov NCT04324879. Registered March 27, 2020) comprised run-in stage and stage 2. R/R FL patients after ≥2 lines therapies received oral 20 mg TQ-B3525 once daily in a 28-day cycle until intolerable toxicity or disease progression. Primary endpoint was independent review committee (IRC)-assessed objective response rate (ORR). Based on results (ORR, 88.0%; duration of response [DOR], 11.8 months; progression-free survival [PFS], 12.0 months) in 25 patients at run-in stage, second stage study was initiated and included 82 patients for efficacy/safety analysis. Patients received prior-line (median, 3) therapies, with 56.1% refractory to previous last therapies; 73.2% experienced POD24 at baseline. At stage 2, ORR was 86.6% (71/82; 95% CI, 77.3-93.1%), with 28 (34.2%) complete responses. Disease control rate was 95.1% due to 7 (8.5%) stable diseases. Median time to response was 1.8 months. Among 71 responders, median DOR was not reached; 18-month DOR rate was 51.6%. with median follow-up of 13.3 months, median PFS was 18.5 (95% CI, 10.2-not estimable) months. Median overall survival (OS) was not reached by cutoff date; 24-month OS rate was estimated as 86.1%. Response rates and survival data were consistent across all subgroups. Grade 3 or higher treatment-related adverse events were observed in 63 (76.8%) cases, with neutropenia (22.0%), hyperglycemia (19.5%), and diarrhea (13.4%) being common. TQ-B3525 showed favorable efficacy and safety for R/R FL patients after ≥2 lines prior therapies.

Abstract
This multicenter, open-label, single-arm trial (ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT05236621) was conducted to confirm the efficacy and safety of generic pomalidomide plus dexamethasone in Chinese patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM). Total 79 eligible RRMM patients were planned to be included. Patients were treated with generic pomalidomide (4 mg daily on days 1-21, orally) and low-dose dexamethasone (40 mg/day on days 1, 8, 15, and 22, orally; 20 mg for patients aged > 75 years) in 28-day cycles until disease progression with a maximum treatment duration of 2 years. The primary endpoint is the overall response rate (ORR) assessed by the independent review committee per the 2016 International Myeloma Working Group guidelines. A total of 85 eligible patients were included in this study from 32 centers in China, with a median age of 62.0 (range, 39-76) years, a median prior line of therapy of 4 (range, 1-16), and 41.2% patients with high-risk cytogenetics. The ORR was 38.8% (95% confidence interval (CI), 28.44-50.01). The disease control rate was 67.1% (95% CI, 56.02-76.87), meanwhile, the median progression-free survival was 5.55 months (95% CI, 3.68-7.52). Among the treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs), infective pneumonia (17.6%) was the most frequent non-hematologic adverse event, while a decrease in neutrophil count (52.9%) was the most common grade ≥ 3 TRAE. The study results indicated that the generic pomalidomide demonstrated consistent efficacy and a safety profile similar to the branded pomalidomide when combined with low-dose dexamethasone in Chinese RRMM patients.Registration number ClinicalTrials.gov NCT05236621, retrospectively registered on February 11, 2022.

Abstract
Objective QL0911, a recombinant human thrombopoietin mimetic peptide-Fc fusion protein, is a romiplostim (Nplate®) biosimilar used to treat primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP). This phase III study aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of QL0911 in adult patients with chronic primary ITP over a 24-week treatment period. Methods We conducted a double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase III study in patients diagnosed with primary ITP for at least 12 months who had received at least one first-line ITP treatment with no response or recurrence after treatment, or who relapsed after splenectomy at 44 sites in China. Patients were randomly allocated (2:1 ratio) to QL0911 or placebo injection subcutaneously once weekly at an initial dose of 1 μg/kg for 24 weeks. The doses were adjusted to maintain the target platelet counts from 50 × 109/L to 200 × 109/L. Patients and investigators were blinded to the assignment. The primary endpoints were the proportion of patients who achieved a durable platelet response at week 24 (platelet count, ≥ 50 × 109/L during 6 of the last 8 weeks of treatment) and safety. The study was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT05621330). Results Between October 2019 and December 2021, 216 patients were randomly assigned (QL0911,144; placebo,72). A durable platelet response was achieved by significantly more patients in the QL0911 group (61.8%, 95% CI: 53.3-69.8; P < 0.0001) than in the placebo group (0%). The mean duration of platelet responses was 15.9 (SE: 0.43) weeks with QL0911, and 1.9 (SE:0.26) week with placebo. Consistent results were achieved in subgroup analyses categorized by baseline splenectomy status (yes/no), concomitant ITP treatment (yes/no), and baseline platelet count (≤ 10 × 109/L, > 10 × 109/L, ≤ 20 × 109/L, > 20 × 109/L, and < 30 × 109/L). The incidence of TEAEs was comparable between the QL0911 and the placebo groups (91.7% and 88.9%, respectively). The most common adverse events overall were ecchymosis (28.5% for QL0911 vs. 37.5% for placebo), upper respiratory tract infections respiratory tract infections (31.9% for QL0911 vs. 27.8% for placebo), and gingival bleeding (17.4% for QL0911 vs. 26.4% for placebo). Conclusion QL0911 was well-tolerated and increased and maintained platelet counts in adults with ITP. QL0911, a biosimilar to romiplostim (Nplate®), may be a novel treatment option for patients with ITP who have failed or relapsed from first-line treatment in China. Ongoing studies will provide further data on long-term efficacy and safety in such patient populations.

Abstract
The aim of this study is to evaluate the survival benefit of consolidative autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (ASCT) in patients with peripheral T-cell lymphomas (PTCL). In this retrospective study, the ASCT group underwent consolidative ASCT after first-line therapy at 14 transplantation centers in China between January 2001 and December 2019. Data were collected over the same time frame for the non-ASCT group from the database of lymphoma patient records at Peking University Cancer Hospital & Institute. A total of 120 and 317 patients were enrolled in the ASCT and non-ASCT groups, respectively, and their median ages were 43 years and 51 years, respectively. In the ASCT group, 101 patients had achieved complete remission (CR) and 19 patients had achieved partial remission at the time of ASCT. The median follow-up time was 40.2 months and 68 months, and the 3-year overall survival (OS) rate was 80.6% and 48.9% (p < 0.001) for the ASCT and non-ASCT groups, respectively. The beneficial effect of ASCT for OS remained even after propensity score-matched (PSM) analysis (81.6% vs 68.3%, p = 0.001). Among the 203 patients who were aged ≤ 65 years and achieved CR, ASCT conferred a significant survival benefit (3-year progression-free survival [PFS]: 67.4% vs 47.0%, p = 0.004; 3-year OS: 84.0% vs 74.1%, p = 0.010), and this was also maintained after PSM analysis (3-year PFS: 66.6% vs 48.4%, p = 0.042; 3-year OS: 84.8% vs 70.5%, p = 0.011). Consolidative ASCT improved the survival outcome of PTCL patients, even those who achieved CR after first-line therapy.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Immunotherapy has modestly improved survival for small cell lung cancer (SCLC) patients. Low response rate and rapid disease progression remain an intractable challenge. One of the factors that contribute to immunotherapy resistance is the lack of cytotoxic T cell infiltration. The expression of chemoattractant cytokines, like CCL5 and CXCL10, are essential for T cell infiltration. The control of chemokine expression is not fully understood, but both transcriptional and translational control pathways could play a major role. Previous studies have shown a correlation between DNA damage and chemokine expression and that PARP inhibitors (PARPi) are radiosensitizers for SCLC that increases DNA damage. The objectives of this study were to define this potential PARPi immunogenic radiosensitizing relationship. MATERIALS/METHODS We identified doses of olaparib+ radiation treatment (RT) that conferred radiosensitization in SCLC cell-lines by cell viability and/or clonogenic assays. Olaparib+RT induced CCL5 and CXCL10 mRNA expression was measured by qPCR across SCLC cell-lines. Protein level of chemokines was assessed by immunoblotting. SBC5 cells were treated with olaparib+RT and submitted for RNA sequencing analysis. Genes with adjusted p value<0.05 were considered significant. Protein level changes and target gene knock-out (KO) were confirmed by immunoblotting. Chemokine CXCL10 mRNA and protein level in wildtype (WT) and KO cells were measured by qPCR and western blot, respectively. A mRNA decay assay and dual-luciferase reporter assay was used to identify the region of CXCL10 mRNA that confers mRNA stability control. In vivo anti-tumor efficacy and tumor T cell infiltration studies were done in B6129F mice bearing KP1 tumors. And the T cell infiltration was measured by immune profiling. RESULTS In vitro, olaparib+RT significantly increased CXCL10 mRNA in all four SCLC subtype cell-lines in comparison to vehicle control. Consistently, the increase of CXCL10 protein levels (3-fold) was observed in SBC5 cells. By RNA-Seq, a top-ranking translational repressor was EIF4E2 (4EHP) mRNA. The downregulation of EIF4E2 protein by olaparib+RT was validated in four SCLC subtypes by western blot. EIF4E2 KO in HEK293 and SBC5 cells increased CXCL10 mRNA and protein level. By mRNA decay assay and western blot, the absence of EIF4E2 stabilized CXCL10 mRNA and increased CXCL10 protein levels. The dual-luciferase assay demonstrated EIF4E2 destabilizes CXCL10 mRNA via the 3'UTR of CXCL10. In vivo, immune profiling showed olaparib+RT significantly increased the total T cell and CD8+ T cell infiltration. Finally, anti-PD-L1 inhibition potentiated olaparib + IR to improve tumor control in KP1 allograft. CONCLUSION Our study demonstrated olaparib + RT increases CXCL10 protein levels through downregulating EIF4E2 to subsequently increase T cell infiltration. Olaparib + RT enhanced anti-PD-L1 immunotherapy efficacy and has therapeutic potential as an immunogenic radiosensitizer.

Abstract
AIM To determine whether the injection of haemocoagulase into the biopsy tract can reduce pneumothorax and pulmonary haemorrhage after computed tomography (CT)-guided percutaneous transthoracic lung biopsy (PTLB). MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective study was performed involving patients with undiagnosed pulmonary lesions scheduled for PTLB between January 2020 and March 2021. Patients were assigned to the haemocoagulase group or the non-haemocoagulase group. After CT-guided biopsies were performed with a 17 G coaxial system, patients in the haemocoagulase group received a haemocoagulase injection (0.2-0.5 units) in the biopsy tract as the sheath was withdrawn. Postoperative image studies were performed to evaluate complications, including pneumothorax and pulmonary haemorrhage. Factors, including the patient's position, lesion location, and pathological results, were evaluated to determine their associations with the complications. RESULTS A total of 100 patients were included, with 44 men and a mean age of 53 years old. The overall incidences of pneumothorax and pulmonary haemorrhage were 15% and 13%, respectively. The incidences of pneumothorax and pulmonary haemorrhage were statistically significantly lower in the haemocoagulase group (8% and 6%, respectively) than in the non-haemocoagulase group (22% and 20%, respectively; p=0.04 and 0.03, respectively). There was no statistically significant difference in haemoptysis between the haemocoagulase (6%) and non-haemocoagulase (2%) groups (p=0.23). There were also no statistically significant associations of pneumothorax or pulmonary haemorrhage with the patients' positions, lesion location, or pathological results. CONCLUSION Biopsy tract haemocoagulase injection reduced the incidences of postoperative pneumothorax and pulmonary haemorrhage after PTLB.

Abstract
In this Letter, we propose an approach to generate high-purity orbital angular momentum (OAM) vortex waves using an amplitude-and-phase metasurface (APM). By varying the square split ring opening and orientation angles, the cross-polarized reflection response of the proposed structure can yield full phase and amplitude coverage. Based on the traditional phase-only metasurface (POM), the Chebyshev synthesis method (CSM) is applied to array the metasurface amplitude distribution. Metasurfaces with modes l of 1, 2, 3, and 4 are designed. Compared with the POM, the APM can effectively improve the vortex beam quality and OAM mode purity. The measured results agree well with full-wave simulations. The presented method provides a new, to the best of our knowledge, way to design high-purity OAM generators based on metasurfaces.

Abstract
We conducted a prospective, multicenter, randomized, controlled clinical trial to compare the efficacy and safety of high-dose dexamethasone (HD-DXM) plus recombinant human thrombopoietin (rhTPO), vs HD-DXM alone in newly diagnosed adult immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) patients. Enrolled patients were randomly assigned to receive DXM plus rhTPO or DXM monotherapy. Another 4-day course of DXM was repeated if response was not achieved by day 10 in both arms. One hundred patients in the HD-DXM plus rhTPO arm and 96 patients in the HD-DXM monotherapy arm were included in the full analysis set. So, HD-DXM plus rhTPO resulted in a higher incidence of initial response (89.0% vs 66.7%, P < .001) and complete response (CR, 75.0% vs 42.7%, P < .001) compared with HD-DXM monotherapy. Response rate at 6 months was also higher in the HD-DXM plus rhTPO arm than that in the HD-DXM monotherapy arm (51.0% vs 36.5%, P = .02; sustained CR: 46.0% vs 32.3%, P = .043). Throughout the follow-up period, the overall duration of response was greater in the HD-DXM plus rhTPO arm compared to the HD-DXM monotherapy arm (P = .04), as estimated by the Kaplan-Meier analysis. The study drugs were generally well tolerated. In conclusion, the combination of HD-DXM with rhTPO significantly improved the initial response and yielded favorable SR in newly diagnosed ITP patients, thus could be further validated as a frontline treatment for ITP. This study is registered as clinicaltrials.gov identifier: NCT01734044.

Abstract
The optimal chemotherapy-free regimens for treatment-naive CLL still remains undefined. We searched relevant published reports. Three trials with 1017 subjects were identified. In the network meta-analysis, acalabrutinib plus obinutuzumab (Aca + Obi) improved PFS than ibrutinib plus obinutuzumab (Ibu + Obi) (HR:0.43, p = .02) and venetoclax plus obinutuzumab (Ven + Obi) (HR:0.30, p < .001) as IRC assessment. Sensitivity analysis of investigator assessment also showed improved PFS with Aca + Obi than Ibu + Obi (HR:0.46, p = .04) and Ven + Obi (HR:0.34, p = .002). Among these first-line treatments (Aca + Obi, Ibu + Obi, Ven + Obi and chlorambucil plus obinutuzumab (Chl + Obi)), Aca + Obi regimen had the highest probability of 99.1% (IRC assessment) or 98.0% (investigator assessment) to reach the longest PFS. The survival advantage with Aca + Obi was not statistically significant, compared to Ibu + Obi (HR:0.51, p = .21) and Ven + Obi (HR:0.38, p = .07). No significant difference was found in AEs analysis. Our data indicated that Aca + Obi seemed to prolong the PFS than Ibu + Obi and Ven + Obi. Considering our limits, prospective clinical trials directly comparing these regimens are warranted.

Abstract
We conducted a prospective, multicenter study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of low-dose decitabine in adult patients with refractory immune thrombocytopenia. Adult patients who did not respond to, did not tolerate, or were unwilling to undergo splenectomy, with either a baseline platelet count less than 30 × 109 /L or the presence of bleeding symptoms and further need of ITP-specific treatments, were enrolled. Patients received decitabine at 3.5 mg/m2 intravenously for three consecutive days per cycle, for three cycles with a four-week interval between cycles. All patients were assessed every week during the first 12 weeks and at four-week intervals thereafter. We screened 49 patients for eligibility. Four patients were excluded and 45 received decitabine. At the end of decitabine treatment, complete response was achieved in eight patients (17.78%), and partial response was achieved in 15 patients (33.33%). The median time to initial response was 28 days (range, 14-70 days). Furthermore, seven relapsed patients received decitabine retreatment and all showed platelet response, including one complete response and six partial responses. Sustained response rates at 6, 12 and 18 months were 44.44% (20/45), 31.11% (14/45) and 20.0% (9/45), respectively. For responders, immune thrombocytopenia-related symptoms, fatigue, psychological health, fear, and overall quality of life were significantly improved. Adverse events were observed in 13 (28.89%) patients. No serious adverse events were recorded. In conclusion, low dose decitabine is potentially effective and safe in the management of adults with refractory immune thrombocytopenia. This trial is registered with clinicaltrials.gov identifier: NCT01568333.

Abstract
To evaluate the role of high-dose melphalan plus autologous stem-cell transplantation (ASCT) as consolidation therapy for patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM) in the era of novel agents, we undertook this meta-analysis. Medline, Embase, the Cochrane controlled trials register, the SCI, ASH, EHA, and ASCO were searched for clinical trials including high-dose chemotherapy plus ASCT for patients with NDMM. Finally, we identified four RCTs of ASCT versus novel agents based consolidations, and 10 single-arm prospective trials of ASCT alone. Pooled analysis indicated that response quality improved further after ASCT in the era of novel agents (≥CR rates of 13% pre-ASCT versus 29% post-ASCT, p = .003). When compared to novel agents containing consolidation regimens, high-dose chemotherapy plus ASCT significantly improved progression-free survival (PFS) (HR =0.56, p < .001). No significant difference in overall survival (OS) was found between them (HR =0.66, p = .22). Of note, subgroup analysis indicated that ASCT could significantly improve OS (HR =0.49, p = .0004) when compared to alkylating agent-based regimens plus lenalidomide consolidation. In summary, response quality and PFS improved further over ASCT in the era of novel agents. ASCT could improve survival than alkylating agent-based regimens plus lenalidomide consolidations for patients with NDMM.

Abstract
PURPOSE Evidences showed that paraoxonase 1 (PON1) gene polymorphism has an impact on women's susceptibility to polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) by influencing the expression and activity of PON1. However, the effects of three PON1 polymorphisms (- 108 C>T, L55M and Q192R) on the incidence of PCOS have generated inconsistent results. Here, we conducted a meta-analysis to investigate the association between PON1 polymorphisms and PCOS risk. METHODS All eligible trials were identified via systematic searches of multiple literature databases. Outcome data were synthesized by using crude odds ratio with 95% confidence interval. Heterogeneity was assessed with the I2 test. Publication bias and subgroup analyses were also performed. RESULTS A total of 2449 cases and 1977 controls from nine studies were selected for analysis. The pooled results showed a significant association between PCOS risk and PON1 - 108 C/T polymorphism in the following genetic models [allelic, 0.72 (0.56-0.92); homozygote, 0.51 (0.32-0.82); heterozygote, 0.44 (0.25-0.78); and dominant 0.47 (0.29-0.77)]. For the PON1 192 Q/R polymorphism, a significant relationship was found in the allelic model [0.62 (0.41-0.93)] and recessive model [0.61 (0.37-0.98)]. PCOS risk was also linked to PON1 L55M polymorphism in the heterozygote model [0.62 (0.39-0.98)] and dominant model [0.63 (0.41-0.96)]. CONCLUSIONS Our study has shown that PON1 - 108 C/T polymorphism might be associated with increased risk of PCOS under the allelic, homozygote, heterozygote, and dominant models. Additionally, PON1 192 Q/R and L55M polymorphisms were significantly related only in the allelic and recessive model, and in the heterozygote and dominant model, respectively.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the ultrasonographic and clinicopathological features of primary thyroid lymphoma(PTL). Methods: The ultrasonographic and clinicopathological featuresof 21 cases of pathologically-confirmed PTLs were analyzed retrospectively. Results: Of all 21 PTLs, 15 cases were diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, 4 were mucosal-associated lymphoid tissue extranodular marginal zone B-cell lymphoma, 1 was small B-cell lymphoma and 1 was classical Hodgkin lymphoma. Eight cases were proved by pathology with concomitant Hashimoto's thyroiditis. Ultrasonography observed bilateral or unilateral asymmetric goiter (21/21, 100.0%), marked hypoechogenicity (21/21, 100.0%) with posterior acoustic enhancement (19/21, 90.5%), heterogeneous echo texture with interspersed linear echogenic strands or intensive reticular echogenic strands or cloud echogenic, heterogeneous echo texture of thyroid gland (21/21, 100.0%), focal nodular hypoechoic(2/21, 9.5%) with regular or irregular shape, increased vascularity (13/21, 61.9%) and cervical lymphadenopathy (12/21, 57.1%). Two cases involved the anterior cervical muscle and 1 infiltrated trachea. Rapidly enlarging cervical mass were found in 13 cases (13/21, 61.9%)with associated compressive symptoms such as dyspnea, dysphagia and hoarseness. There was no any indisposed symptom in 3 cases. Conclusion: PTL has some common ultrasonographic and clinical features, core needle biopsy should be warranted to prove PTL.Surgical resection should be considered when needed to reduce misdiagnosis.

Abstract
PURPOSE The use of carfilzomib/pomalidomide single-agent or in combination with other agents in patients with refractory/relapsed multiple myeloma (RRMM) was not clearly clarified in clinical practice. We sought to compile the available clinical reports to better understand the efficacy and safety of carfilzomib (CFZ) and pomalidomide (POM). RESULTS Based on our research criteria, we identified 37 prospective studies that evaluated 1160 patients. Analysis of subgroup differences between carfilzomib single-agent and CFZ/DEX dual combination showed significantly(P < 0.001, I2 = 96.3%), suggesting the overall response rate (ORR) of 66% attained from CFZ/DEX dual combination seemed to be higher than that of 28% from carfilzomib single-agent. And, the same trend favoring CFZ/DEX dual combination was found in ≥VGPR and CBR analysis. The ORR of 31% attained from POM/DEX dual combination was superior to that of 19% from pomalidomide single-agent(P < 0.001, I2 = 94.4%). And, the same trend favoring POM/DEX dual combination was found in ≥VGPR and CBR analysis. However, the ORR of 83% attained from POM/BOR/DEX triplet combination was superior to that of 31% from POM/DEX dual combination(P < 0.001, I2 = 99.1%). And, the same trend favoring POM/BOR/DEX triplet combination was found in ≥VGPR analysis. METHODS We searched published reports including carfilzomib and (or) pomalidomide therapy for RRMM who had received bortezomib and (or) lenalidomide. CONCLUSION Pomalidomide/Carfilzomib plus dexamethasone seemed to attain a superior response rate compared with pomalidomide/carfilzomib single-agent. Furthermore, the combination of pomalidomide, bortezomib and dexamethasone resulted in a much higher response rate compared with pomalidomide plus dexamethasone regimen. These results needed more validation in future trials.

Abstract
AIM Sensor-augmented pump (SAP) technology, which combines continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) and real-time continuous glucose monitoring (RT-CGM), has been available for several years in China. In this study, the time required to reach predefined glycaemic targets with SAP vs multiple daily injection (MDI) therapy was compared in hospitalized patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). METHODS Adults (aged 18-65 years) with T2DM treated with insulin and admitted to hospital for glucose management were randomized to either SAP (Medtronic MiniMed™ Paradigm™ 722 system) or MDI with blinded CGM (Medtronic MiniMed CGMS System Gold™) for a 2-week period. Glycaemic targets were defined as three preprandial measurements between 80 and 130mg/dL (4.4 and 7.2mmol/L) and three 2-h postprandial measurements between 80 and 180mg/dL (4.4 and 10.0mmol/L) within the same day. RESULTS When data from 81 patients (40 SAP, 41 MDI) were analysed, 21 patients using SAP therapy, compared with six using MDI therapy, achieved their glycaemic targets within 3 days, and their time to reach their glucose targets was significantly shorter (3.7±1.1 vs 6.3±3.1 days for MDI; P<0.001), while three MDI patients failed to reach glycaemic targets within 14 days. SAP vs MDI patients experienced significantly less hypoglycaemia [sensor glucose<50mg/dL (2.8mmol/L): 0.04% vs 0.32%, respectively; P<0.05] and significantly less hyperglycaemia [sensor glucose>180mg/dL (10mmol/L): 21.56% vs 35.03%, respectively; P<0.05]. CONCLUSION SAP vs MDI therapy in hospitalized patients with T2DM significantly reduced the time required to achieve glycaemic targets, and such systems may be a cost-effective way to improve glucose control and reduce hospital stays in T2DM patients.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of recombinant human interleukin-11 (IL-11) with glucocorticoids for treatment of adult idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) and the regulatory effect on immune mechanisms. A total of 80 patients with initial diagnosis of ITP admitted to our hospital were selected. Patients were randomly divided into the control group and observation group, with 40 cases each. The control group received glucocorticoids treatment, and the observation group received IL-11 and glucocorticoids. The treatment effects were compared. The total effective rate and effective degree of the observation group was higher than in the control group and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05); comparing the incidence of complications of the two groups, there was no statistical difference (P>0.05). In the observation group, onset time was reduced, platelet recovery level increased and platelet antibody positive rate decreased, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). The total treatment course was shorter and recurrence rate was lower in the observation group compared with the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). The percentage of CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells decreased in the two groups after treatment, and was more pronounced in the observation group. The difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). In conclusion, IL-11 with glucocorticoids for the treatment of adult ITP is safe and effective, and may be associated with decreased percentage of CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells.

Abstract
Advances in differentiation of cardiomyocytes from human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) were emerged as a tool for modeling of cardiovascular disease that recapitulates the phenotype for the purpose of drug screening, biomarker discovery, and testing of single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) as a modifier for disease stratification. Here, we describe the (1) retroviral reprogramming strategies in the generation of human iPSC, (2) methodology in characterization of iPSC in order to identify the stem cell clones with the best quality, and (3) protocol of cardiac differentiation by modulation of Wnt signaling and β-catenin pathway.

Abstract
The current study was to investigate the features of hospitalized patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) at different altitudes. The correlation between SLE activity and altitudinal variations was also explored. Medical records of 1029 patients were retrospectively reviewed. Activity of SLE in each organ system was recorded using the Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Disease Activity Index (SLEDAI). There was no significant correlation between SLE activity and altitudes (r = 0.003, p = 0.159). Age at onset for SLE patients at high altitudes was significantly younger than that at low and moderate altitudes (p = 0.022 and p = 0.004, respectively). Age at SLE admission at low altitudes was significant older than those at moderate and high altitudes (p = 0.011 and p < 0.001, respectively). Patients at high altitudes had shorter duration from disease onset to admission than those at moderate altitudes (p = 0.009). Incidence of Sm antibodies-positive for resident patients at high altitudes was 36.4%, which were higher than that at moderate altitudes (p = 0.003). We found increasing trends of CNS activity in active patients; immunological and renal activities in inactive patients were correlated with elevated altitudes (p = 0.024, p = 0.004, p = 0.005), while arthritis scores in active patients showed the tendency of decreasing with the rise of elevation (p = 0.002). Hemoglobin level, red blood cell and platelet counts at high altitudes were significantly lower than those at low altitudes (p < 0.05, respectively). There was no significant difference in hemoglobin level between moderate- and low-altitude groups (p > 0.05). No significant difference in platelet counts between moderate- and high-altitude groups was observed (p > 0.05). Our findings suggest that some clinical features, laboratory tests and activity of main organs in SLE are influenced by altitudes. Furthermore, organ activities of active and inactive SLE patients have different patterns of altitudinal variations. These distinctive variations likely reveal that peculiar environmental factors at high altitudes can affect the development of SLE.

Abstract
Islet replacement therapy, pancreatic islet transplantation, is considered as a potential option for curing T1DM. However, the significant loss of implanted islets after islet transplantation prevents it from becoming a mainstream treatment modality. Due to the lack of reliable noninvasive real-time imaging techniques to track the survival of the islets, it is impossible to discover the specific causes for the loss of implanted islets, not to mention taking interventions in the early stage. Current achievements in molecular imaging has provided with several promising techniques, including optical imaging, PET and MRI, for noninvasive visualization, quantification and functional evaluation of transplanted islets in experimental conditions. Optical imaging seems to be the most convenient and cost-efficient modality, but the limited penetration distance hinders its application in large animal and human studies. PET combined with target-specific tracers is characterized by high specificity and sensitivity for detection of islet grafts, but observation time is rather short (i.e., several hours). MRI stands out for its long-term visualization of transplanted islet grafts with the aid of contrast agents. However, quantification of islets remains a problem to be solved. A novel technique, microencapsulation, provides a new perspective in multimodal imaging by optimizing the strengths of several modalities together. Although the application of molecular imaging in clinical settings is still limited, significant success and valuable information is achieved in the basic and clinical trials. However, islet transplantation still remains an experimental procedure, with ongoing researches focusing on islets availability, appropriate sites for implantation, new methods using biomaterials (e.g. microencapsulation), immune modulation and more.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Elevated γ-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) could predict the risk of Type 2 diabetes (T2D), but the reason for their elevation was unclear. GGT and ALT mediated the metabolism of many amino acids (AA). Up to now, it was not investigated whether abnormal AA concentration was associated with elevated liver enzymes. AIM This study was to investigate the status of AA in T2D and their relationship with liver enzymes. SUBJECTS AND METHODS A total of 132 T2D patients and 137 healthy controls were recruited. Plasma free AA were measured by high-performance liquid chromatography. The contribution of individual AA to liver enzymes was assessed by stepwise linear regression. RESULTS a) The levels of alanine, valine, leucine, isoleucine, phenylalanine, tyrosine, methionine, glutamate, and lysine were higher while the level of glycine was lower in T2D than in controls (all p<0.01). b) Glutamate contributed to GGT in T2D, and its contribution was even greater than that of waist circumference. Leucine, lysine, and glutamate contributed to ALT. CONCLUSION There were significant differences in plasma AA profile between T2D and controls. Abnormal AA might contribute to elevated liver enzymes. The interaction between AA, liver enzymes, and the risk of T2D should be further investigated by prospective studies.

Abstract
To investigate the effect of novel agents like bortezomib, lenalidomide and thalidomide as part of induction treatment prior to autologous stem-cell transplantation (ASCT) for previously untreated patients with multiple myeloma, we performed a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Medline, Embase, the Cochrane controlled trials register and the Science Citation Index were searched for RCTs of novel agents as part of induction therapy before ASCT. Three RCTs of bortezomib, two RCTs of thalidomide and no RCT of lenalidomide were identified, covering a total of 2,316 subjects. Due to different mechanisms of action, we performed a subgroup analysis by type of agent (thalidomide or bortezomib). The weighted risk ratios of a complete response (CR) were 4.25 [95% CI: 2.44-7.41] (p < 0.001) for bortezomib and 1.66 [95% CI: 1.15-2.38] (p = 0.007) for thalidomide, respectively. The summary hazard ratios for progression-free survival (PFS) were 0.73 [95% CI: 0.59-0.89] (p = 0.002) for bortezomib and 0.68 [95% CI: 0.59-0.79] (p < 0.001) for thalidomide, respectively. The corresponding ratios for overall survival (OS) were 0.87 [95% CI: 0.64-1.18] (p = 0.37) and 0.88 [95% CI: 0.73-1.05] (p = 0.14), respectively. Additionally, there was a statistically significant heterogeneity between subgroups (thalidomide and bortezomib) for CR (p = 0.005) but nonsignificant for PFS (p = 0.64) and OS (p = 0.97). In conclusion, our analysis showed novel agents as induction treatment prior to ASCT improved CR and PFS but not OS.

Abstract
AIMS The aim of the study was to explore the prevalence and clinical characteristics of hand ulcer in hospitalized patients with diabetes. METHODS We analysed 17 subjects with hand ulcer among diabetic inpatients, who were admitted to the Diabetic Foot Care Center, Department of Endocrinology and Metabolism at the West China Hospital of Sichuan University from April 2003 to December 2008. RESULTS The prevalence of diabetic hand ulcer among hospitalized patients (0.37%) was significantly lower than that of diabetic foot ulcers (9.7%, P = 0.000). The mean age was 62.1 +/- 9.4 years. The average known durations of diabetes and glycated haemoglobin (HbA(1c)) were 5.3 +/- 4.9 years and 10.9 +/- 2.4%, respectively. All patients lived in the subtropical zone. Fifteen patients (88.2%) were diagnosed with diabetic peripheral neuropathy. Ten patients had hand infection. After therapy, the ulcers healed in 13 patients (76.5%) and none of them experienced amputation. The average hospital stay for patients with local infection was characteristically longer than that for patients without infection (P = 0.012). The prognosis of the hand ulcer was poorer in the patients who had diabetes for > 3 years compared with those who had diabetes for < 3 years (P = 0.009). CONCLUSIONS Diabetic hand ulcer is a relatively rare complication of diabetes in South-West China. Long duration of diabetes, poorly controlled blood glucose, minor trauma and delayed treatment are the risk factors. Diabetic peripheral neuropathy may play an important role in the pathogenesis of hand ulcer. Early control of blood glucose with insulin and early anti-microbial therapy with appropriate antibiotics are crucial. Debridement and drainage are necessary for hand abscesses.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The reduction in insulin secretory capacity and beta-cell mass has been attributed, at least partially, to lipotoxicity, which may contribute to the development of type 2 diabetes. Chronic free fatty acids (FFA) exposure impairs pancreatic beta-cell function and induces beta-cell apoptosis. This study is to elucidate the underlying molecular mechanisms. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We exposed INS-1E pancreatic beta-cell line to palmitate or oleate, and measured the glucose stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS). The effect of FFA on sterol regulatory element-binding protein (SREBP)-1c lipogenic pathway, and expression of genes involved in beta-cell functions, including AMPK (AMP-activated protein kinase), UCP-2 (uncoupling protein-2), IRS-2 (insulin receptor substrate-2), PDX-1 (pancreatic duodenal homeobox-1), GLUT-2 (glucose transporter-2) and B cell lymphoma/leukaemia-2 (Bcl-2) were investigated. Apoptosis of these exposed cells was determined by MitoCapture, Annexin V-Cy3 or terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick-end labeling assay. Cell lipid accumulation was measured by oil red O staining or TG extraction. Also SREBP-1c expression knockdown were used. RESULTS FFA treatment resulted in SREBP-1c overexpression, impaired GSIS, lipid accumulation, apoptosis of INS-1E cells. In addition, the expression of lipogenic genes and UCP-2 were upregulated, but AMPK, IRS-2, PDX-1, GLUT-2 and Bcl-2 were downregulated in the exposed cells. However, these lipotoxic effects of FFA were largely prevented by induction of a SREBP-1c small interfering RNA. CONCLUSIONS These data suggest a strong correlation between FFA treatment and SREBP-1c activation in INS-1E cells. SREBP-1c might be a major factor responsible for beta-cell lipotoxicity, and SREBP-1c knockdown could protect INS-1E cells from lipotoxicity, which is implicating a therapeutic potential for treating diabetes related to lipotoxicity.

Abstract
AIMS This paper presents two cases of muscle infarction involving four major muscles of the anterior abdominal wall (case 1) and pectoralis major (case 2) in individuals with diabetes. METHODS Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and creatine kinase (CK) were measured and Doppler ultrasound, an open muscle biopsy (case 1) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) (case 2) were performed. RESULT The diagnosis of muscle infarction was made by histological findings and MRI images with hyper-intensive signals on a gadolinium-enhanced T2-weighted sequence, respectively. Both patients were treated with bed rest, immobilization of the involved extremities, analgesia and intensive insulin therapy. In addition, anticoagulant drugs such as low molecular weight heparin sodium and cilostazol, and some traditional Chinese medicines such as ligustrazine and salvia miltiorrhiza were administered. The symptoms of both patients resolved gradually after 3 weeks. However, muscle infarction reoccurred in case 1 on the opposite side of the abdomen and recovered after 40 days. CONCLUSIONS This is the first report of muscle infarction involving the muscles of anterior abdominal walls and pectoralis major in diabetes. MRI is the best non-invasive technique and T2-weighted imaging is the most valuable method for the diagnosis. In addition to supportive therapy, administration of anticoagulant agents and some Chinese traditional medicine may be useful in symptom relief.

Abstract
Gigantism with low or normal basal concentrations of growth hormone (GH) is a rare condition, possibly due to abnormal GH secretory patterns, enhanced tissue sensitivity to GH, or the existence of an unidentified growth promoting factor. Here we report an 11 year-old female case of gigantism with a normal pituitary gland. Her height was 181 cm, body weight 77 kg, and bone age 11.1 years. Her basal serum GH levels were lower than 1 ng/ml. The levels of T3, T4, FT3, FT4, TSH, E2, LH, FSH, PRL, PTC and ACTH were normal. Serum GH response to insulin-induced hypoglycemia or arginine stimulation tests was blunted. In this case, non-pulsatile GH secretion and enhanced tissue sensitivity to GH may induce hypersecretion of IGF-1 and the existence of an unidentified growth promoting factor or biologically active anti-GH receptor antibodies may cause clinical gigantism.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the relationships between the changes of plasma angiotensin I (AT I). Angiotensin II (AT II). serum aldosterone (Ald) levels and hypokalemic periodic paralysis (THPP) complicating hyperthyroid Graves' disease. METHODS The levels of serum potassium, TT3, TT4, FT3, FT4, Ald and the plasma AT I, AT II and 24 hours urine potassium output were determined in 73 cases of hyperthroid Graves' disease, of which 43 were complicated by THPP and the other 30 were grouped as NTHPP cases. RESULTS The mean level of serum potassium in THPP group was significantly lower than that in NTHPP group (P = 0.000), and the mean level of 24 hours urine potassium output in THPP group was significantly higher than that in NTHPP group(P = 0.000); The mean levels of plasma AT II and serum Ald in THPP group in upright position were significantly higher than those in NTHPP group (P = 0.008 and 0.013, respectively). The mean levels of 24 hours urine potassium output, plasma AT II and serum Ald in upright position were negatively correlated to serum potassium in both groups. The level of serum Ald in upright position was positively correlated to the level of 24 hours urine potassium out-put. The mean levels of plasma AT I and AT II in supine position were positively correlated to serum T3, and the level of plasma AT II in upright position was positively correlated to serum FT3. CONCLUSION The level of 24 hours urine potassium output rises in THPP patients; the high levels of AT and Ald may contribute to the pathogenesis of the disease.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the influence of burn on the expressions of IFN-gamma and IL-4 in T lymphocytes and on the expression of IL-12 in macrophages in mice. METHODS The mice inflicted by 12% TBSA burn on the back were employed as the model. The peritoneal macrophages (PMphis) were isolated and counted under light microscope (LM). The gene expression level of IL-12 P35 and P40 subunits was determined with RT-PCR. The ratio of spleen to body and splenic histology were also determined. Splenic T lymphocytes were isolated and the gene expression levels of IFN-gamma and IL-4 in the T lymphocytes were examined by RT-PCR. RESULTS (1) PMphis decreased significantly on 3 postburn day (PBD) and recovered quickly thereafter. (2) The gene expressions of IL-12 P35 and P40 subunits in PMphis were enhanced obviously. (3) Splenic index increased evidently and the karyokinesis phase increased in splenic lymphocytes. (4) The expressions of IFN-gamma and IL-4 in splenic T lymphocytes increased postburn. CONCLUSION The expressions of IFN-gamma and IL-4 in splenic T lymphocytes and the expressions of IL-12 in PMphis could be enhanced by burn injury.

Abstract
The effect of exogenous adenosine 5'-monophosphate (AMP) on proliferation and apoptosis of a normal rat small intestinal epithelial cell line, IEC-6, was investigated. Proliferation of IEC-6 was measured by MTT. Cell cycle and apoptosis was determined by flow cytometry. Expression of Bax was detected by immunohistochemistry. The results showed that AMP remarkably inhibited the proliferation of IEC-6 in a dose- and time-dependent way. AMP also significantly changed the distribution of cell cycle, arrested cells in S phase and enhanced apoptosis by inducing Bax expression.

OBJECTIVE This clinical trial was designed to assess the lipids regulating effects of domestic simvastatin (DS, produced by Chengdu Huayu Pharmaceutical Co.) in patients with hyperlipidemia. METHODS 160 hyperlipidemic patients were randomly divided into 3 groups (A, B and C). Groups A and B were subjected to single-blind trial; group C was for open trial. Group A took DS 10 mg q.n., group B Zocor 10 mg q.n. and group C DS 10 mg q.n. respectively for 8 weeks. All the patients were followed up at the 4th week and 8th week. 155 patients finished the trial with 59 cases in group A, 47 cases in group B and 39 cases in group C. RESULTS At the 4th week, serum total cholesterol (TC) in group A, B and C decreased by 16.88%, 19.23% and 14.10%; serum triglycerides (TG) decreased by 19.27%, 15.66% and 17.96%; HDL-C increased by 7.69%, 7.46% and 6.69%; and LDL-C decreased by 23.02%, 27.84% and 24.43%, respectively; there was no significant difference among the three groups (P > 0.05). At the 8th week, serum TC in groups A, B and C decreased by 25.03%, 26.53% and 25.22%. TG decreased by 23.85%, 24.74% and 24.75%; HDL-C increased by 9.23%, 8.95% and 8.39%; and LDL-C decreased by 33.72%, 35.50% and 30.99%, respectively; still, no significant difference among the three groups was observed (P > 0.05). The incidence rates of side effects in the three groups were similar. The clinical effects were more significant at the 8th week than at the 4th week for Zocor and DS. CONCLUSION These data suggest that DS is as effective and safe as Zocor in clinical use for lipids regulating serum.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate the effects of combined radiation and thermal burn injury on the survival of skin allografts and to analyze the relationship between the prolongation of allograft survival and the changes of immune functions of the thymocytes and splenocytes in rats. METHODS Wistar rats were irradiated with 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8 Gy of gamma rays. Thirty minutes after radiation, 15% TBSA III-degree burn was inflicted to the rats. Twenty-four hours after the burn injury, allografts were used to cover the burn wounds. In the 8 Gy group, 1 hour before skin grafting, the bone marrow cells (4 x 10(8)) from the same donor were also transplanted. All rats were carefully observed after injury. The rats with single radiation injury of 5 Gy gamma rays, with single burn injury and with combined radiation-burn injury were killed 3, 7, 10, 15 and 30 days after skin grafting for immunological assay and pathological study. RESULTS All the allografts in the single burn group were rejected in 10 days. In the combined injury groups, the survival rates of the allografts in rats undergoing 3 and 4 Gy radiation were 20% and 30%, respectively. In the combined injury groups undergoing 5, 6 and 8 Gy radiation, the 10-day survival rates of the allografts were 69%, 88% and 100% respectively, and the 30-day survival rates in the three groups were 36%, 42% and 100% separately. The grafted allogenic skin, with normal epithelial cells and good vascularity, healed well with the recipient's skin. Hairs grew well from the allografts 30 days after grafting. Three, 7 and 15 days after allografting, in the single burn group, the proliferative activities of the thymocytes were 90%, 185% and 130% of the preinjury level, and the antibody forming capacities of the splenocytes were 200%, 171% and 300% of the preinjury level, respectively; in the combined injury groups, the proliferative activities were 6%, 99% and 91% of the preinjury level, and the forming capacities were 2%, 36% and 90% of the preinjury level. CONCLUSIONS The survival rate of allograft in rats undergoing combined radiation and thermal burn injury rises with the increase in radiation dosage. The allograft covering single bun injury is severely rejected by immune reaction. The prolongation of the survival of allograft in combined injury group mainly results from radiation that suppresses immune functions.
