    Abstract: Most randomized trials for acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) have investigated highly selected patients under idealized conditions, and the findings need to be validated in the real world. We conducted a population-based study of all APL patients in Zhejiang Province, China, with a total population of 82 million people, to assess the generalization of all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) and arsenic as front-line treatment. The outcomes of APL patients were also analyzed. Between January 2015 and December 2019, 1,233 eligible patients were included in the final analysis. The rate of ATRA and arsenic as front-line treatment increased steadily from 66.2% in 2015 to 83.3% in 2019, with no difference among the size of the center (≥5 or & lt;5 patients per year, p = 0.12) or age (≥60 or & lt;60 years, p = 0.35). The early death (ED) rate, defined as death within 30 days after diagnosis, was 8.2%, and the 3-year overall survival (OS) was 87.9% in the whole patient population. Age (≥60 years) and white blood cell count ( & gt;10 × 10 9 /L) were independent risk factors for ED and OS in the multivariate analysis. This population-based study showed that ATRA and arsenic as front-line treatment are widely used under real-world conditions and yield a low ED rate and a high survival rate, which mimic the results from clinical trials, thereby supporting the wider application of APL guidelines in the future.

    Abstract: The presence of minimal residual disease (MRD) is an independent risk factor for poor prognosis in patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Moreover, the role of chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy in patients with MRD is currently unclear. Methods We conducted a prospective study to investigate the role of CAR-T therapy in patients with persistent/recurrent MRD-positive ALL in first remission. Results A total of 77 patients who had persistent/recurrent MRD were included. Of these patients, 43 were enrolled in the CAR-T group, 20 received chemotherapy as a bridge to allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HSCT), and 14 patients received intensified chemotherapy. MRD negativity was achieved in 90.7% of the patients after CAR-T infusion. Patients who received CAR-T therapy had a higher 3-year leukemia-free survival (LFS) than patients who did not (77.8% vs. 51.1%, P = 0.033). Furthermore, patients in the CAR-T group had a higher 3-year LFS than those in the chemotherapy bridge-to-allo-HSCT group [77.8% (95% CI, 64.8–90.7%) vs. 68.7% (95% CI, 47.7–89.6%), P = 0.575] and had a significantly higher 3-year LFS than those in the intensified chemotherapy group [77.8% (95% CI, 64.8–90.7%) vs. 28.6% (95% CI, 4.9–52.3%), P = 0.001]. Among the patients who received CAR-T therapy, eight were not bridged to allo-HSCT, and six (75%) remained in remission with a median follow-up of 23.0 months after CAR-T infusion. Conclusions Our findings show that CAR-T therapy can effectively eliminate MRD and improve survival in patients with a suboptimal MRD response.

    Abstract: An inulin (CPPF), isolated from a traditional Chinese herbal medicine Codonopsis pilosula , was characterized and demonstrated with potential prebiotic activity in vitro before. Based on its non-digested feature, the intestinal mucosa and microbiota modulatory effects in vivo on immunosuppressed mice were investigated after oral administration of 200, 100 and 50 mg/kg of CPPF for 7 days. It was demonstrated that the secretions of sIgA and mucin 2 (Muc2) in ileum were improved by CPPF, and the anti-inflammatory activities in different intestine parts were revealed. The intestine before colon could be the target active position of CPPF. As a potential prebiotic substance, a gut microbiota restorative effect was also presented by mainly modulating the relative abundance of Eubacteriales , including Oscillibacter , unidentified Ruminococcus and Lachnospiraceae after high-throughput pyrosequencing of V4 region of 16S rRNA analysis. All these results indicated that this main bioactive ingredient inulin from C. pilosula was a medicinal prebiotic with enhancing mucosal immune, anti-inflammatory and microbiota modulatory activities.

    Abstract: Aging is a biological process of progressive deterioration of physiological functions, which poses a serious threat to individual health and a heavy burden on public health systems. As population aging continues, research into anti-aging drugs that prolong life and improve health is of particular importance. In this study, the polysaccharide from stems and leaves of Chuanminshen violaceum was obtained with water extraction and alcohol precipitation, and then separated and purified with DEAE anion exchange chromatography and gel filtration to obtain CVP-AP-I. We gavaged natural aging mice with CVP-AP-I and performed serum biochemical analysis, histological staining, quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) and ELISA kit assays to analyze inflammation and oxidative stress-related gene and protein expression in tissues, and 16SrRNA to analyze intestinal flora. We found that CVP-AP-I significantly improved oxidative stress and inflammatory responses of the intestine and liver, restored the intestinal immune barrier, and balanced the dysbiosis of intestinal flora. In addition, we revealed the potential mechanism behind CVP-AP-I to improve intestinal and liver function by regulating intestinal flora balance and repairing the intestinal immune barrier to regulate the intestinal-liver axis. Our results indicated that C. violaceum polysaccharides possessed favorable antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and potentially anti-aging effects in vivo .

    Abstract: Patients with endometrial cancer (EC) combined with metabolic syndrome (MetS) have a worse prognosis than those without MetS. This study aimed to investigate whether partial metabolic disorder significantly influenced early-stage endometrioid EC (EEC) survival and searched for a more efficient method to evaluate metabolic status. Methods This is a nationwide, multicenter cohort study that included 998 patients with primary early-stage EEC from 2001 to 2018. Patients were divided into different metabolic groups based on the diagnostic criteria of the Chinese Medical Association (CDC). The progression-free survival (PFS) time was compared between various metabolic status. Meanwhile, we established an EC Prognostic-Related Metabolic Score (ECPRM Score) to explore the association of the severity of metabolic status and early-stage EEC PFS. A nomogram was established for predicting PFS, which was externally validated in a testing set that includes 296 patients. Results A partial metabolic disorder, as well as MetS, was an independent risk factor of poor survival of patients with early-stage EEC [hazard ratio (HR) = 7.6, 95% CI = 1.01–57.5, p & lt; 0.05]. A high ECPRM Score was associated with lower PFS (HR = 2.1, 95% CI = 1.05–4.0, p & lt; 0.001). The nomogram, in which the ECPRM Score contributed most to the prognosis, exhibited excellent discrimination of survival supported by the internal and external validations. In addition, the calibration curve supports its robust predicting ability. Conclusion Even though they do not meet the criteria of MetS, partial metabolic disorders were also associated with adverse outcomes in early-stage EEC. The ECPRM Score is beneficial for clinicians to evaluate the severity of metabolic abnormalities and guide patients to ameliorate the poor prognosis of metabolic disorders.

    Abstract: NKG2C+ natural killer (NK) cell plays a vital role in CMV infection control after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). However, the modulation on NKG2C+ NK cell reconstitution is still unclear. NK cell education is affected by the interactions of HLA-I/killer immunoglobulin receptor (KIR). Our aim is to figure out which HLA-I/KIR interaction plays a dominant role in NKG2C+ NK education. Based on allogeneic haploidentical HSCT, we investigated the expansion and function of single KIR positive NKG2C+ NK cells via the interaction of KIR with both donor HLA and recipient HLA at days 30, 90, and 180 after HSCT. KIR2DL2/L3 single-positive/NKG2C + cells were significantly expanded compared with KIR2DL1 or KIR3DL1 single-positive/NKG2C + cells when donors and recipients were both HLA-C1/C1 or HLA-C1C1BW4 ( p & lt; 0.05), with higher NKp30 expression ( p & lt; 0.05). Moreover, the proportion of single KIR positive NK cells increased in both NKG2C + /NKG2A - NK cells and conventional NKG2C - /NKG2A - NK cells over time. We also observed that increased proportion of KIR2DL2/L3 single-positive/NKG2C + NK cells correlated with higher incidence of acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD). Our study allows a better understanding of HLA-I/KIR interaction in the NKG2C+ NK cell education after HSCT.

    Abstract: A variety of autoantibodies have been detected in primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), while the presence of autoantibody clusters and their clinical significance have not been fully understood. We aimed at defining autoantibody clusters and to better understand the clinical features and prognosis of PBC patients based on autoantibody clusters under real-world conditions. Methods We retrospectively analyzed 788 inpatients with PBC evaluated between October 2008 and July 2019, and included 537 patients. Nineteen autoantibodies which were measured routinely were investigated for cluster analysis. Two-step clustering, Kaplan-Meier survival, and Cox regression analyses were used. Results Five clusters were defined. A cluster of antinuclear antibodies (ANA) and anti-gp210 positive patients were identified with a high rate of cirrhosis at baseline and low survival rate; a cluster of ANA, anti-centromere antibodies (ACA) and/or anti-CENP-B female dominant patients with older disease onset, low level of platelet count at baseline, high rate of hepatic decompensation, and low survival rate was also characterized; and another cluster of anti-mitochondrial antibodies (AMA) and/or AMA-M2, anti-Ro52 and a high rate of anti-gp210 positive patients were identified with a high proportion of male patients and low survival rate. A subgroup of patients with anti-SSA and/or anti-SSB coexists with SjS was also identified; patients with only AMA and/or AMA-M2-positive with a benign clinical outcome and relatively high complication of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) were also identified. Only anti-gp210 was considered as a significant predictor for poor outcomes especially in patients with cirrhosis. Conclusion Clustering methods allow the identification of distinct autoantibody profiles of PBC that form clinical subsets and can be useful for personalized approaches to diagnosis, clinical management, and the prediction of clinical outcomes. Anti-gp210 was the strongest predictive factor for poor outcomes especially in PBC patients with cirrhosis under real-world conditions.

    Abstract: The human leukocyte antigen (HLA) susceptibility gene is the main genetic risk factor for primary biliary cholangitis (PBC). The prognosis of patients with PBC is linked to gut microbiota dysbiosis. However, whether the HLA alleles are associated with the gut microbiota distribution and disease severity remains unknown. Methods A cohort of 964 Chinese patients with PBC was enrolled at Beijing YouAn Hospital, Beijing, China. High-resolution genotyping of the HLA class I and class II loci from 151 of these patients was performed using sequence-based PCR. Stool samples were collected from 43 of the 151 fully HLA-typed patients to analyze their microbiota compositions via 16S RNA gene sequencing. Results Of the 964 patients, the male:female ratio was 114:850, and 342 of these patients (35.5%) had already developed liver cirrhosis (LC) before enrollment. Patients with PBC showed a significantly higher frequency of HLA DRB1*08:03 than did the controls (21.2% vs. 9.0%, P =0.0001). HLA- DRB1*03:01 , DRB1*07:01 , DRB1*14:05 , and DRB1*14:54 frequencies were also increased but did not reach significance after Bonferroni’s correction. Conversely, the DQB1*03:01 frequency was significantly lower in patients with PBC than in the controls (24.5% vs. 39.2%, P =0.0010). The patients’ gut microbiota were analyzed from four perspectives. The microbial community abundances were significantly lower in FHRAC-positive patients (patients with a combination of five HLA DRB1 high-risk alleles) than in FHRAC-negative patients ( P & lt;0.05). Of the top 10 microbial genera, Lachnospiraceae_incertae_sedis was higher in the FHRAC-positive patients than in the FHRAC-negative patients ( P & lt;0.05). linear discriminant analysis (LDA) effect-size (LEfSe) analysis showed different microbes at different levels in the FHRAC-negative patients but not in the FHRAC-positive patients. DQB1*03:01 -positive patients contained mostly Lactobacillaceae at the family level. A comparison of the FHRAC-positive patients with and without liver cirrhosis showed that the abundances of Veillonella were significantly higher in patients with cirrhosis and FHRAC than in those without cirrhosis and are FHRAC-negative. Conclusion The HLA class II genes may influence the gut microbiota compositions in patients with PBC. Differential gut microbiota were expressed at different taxonomic levels. Some bacterial abundances may be increased in FHRAC-positive patients with PBC and cirrhosis.

    Abstract: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) greatly affects cardiovascular disease, but evidence on the associations between NAFLD and markers of aortic calcification is limited. We aim to evaluate the association between NAFLD and aortic calcification in a cohort of Chinese adults using propensity score-matching (PSM) analysis. Methods This prospective cohort study involved adults who underwent health-screening examinations from 2009 to 2016. NAFLD was diagnosed by abdominal ultrasonography at baseline, and aortic calcification was identified using a VCT LightSpeed 64 scanner. Analyses included Cox proportional-hazards regression analysis and PSM with predefined covariates (age, gender, marital and smoking status, and use of lipid-lowering drugs) to achieve a 1:1 balanced cohort. Results Of the 6,047 eligible participants, 2,729 (45.13%) were diagnosed with NAFLD at baseline, with a median age of 49.0 years [interquartile range, 44.0–55.0]. We selected 2,339 pairs of participants with and without NAFLD at baseline for the PSM subpopulation. Compared with those without NAFLD, patients with NAFLD were at a higher risk of developing aortic calcification during follow-up; significant results were observed before and after matching, with the full-adjusted hazard ratios and corresponding 95% confidence intervals being 1.19 (1.02–1.38) and 1.18 (1.01–1.38), respectively (both p & lt; 0.05). In subgroup analyses, no interaction was detected according to age, gender, smoking status, body mass index, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, use of lipid-lowering drugs, hypertension, or type 2 diabetes. Conclusions NAFLD may be independently associated with aortic calcification. Further studies are warranted to elucidate the possible underlying mechanisms.
