Article Synopsis
  • Glycogen storage disease type Ib (GSD Ib) is a rare genetic condition that leads to severe health issues like low blood sugar and neutropenia due to mutations in the SLC37A4 gene, making traditional treatments ineffective for neutropenia.
  • Recent findings on the condition allowed for the use of the SGLT2 inhibitor empagliflozin, which has shown promise in improving neutrophil function and overall health in GSD Ib patients since its introduction in 2020.
  • A study of 35 pediatric GSD Ib patients revealed that empagliflozin treatment is effective and safe in managing the disease, although patients should be monitored for urinary infections and hypoglycemia as potential side effects.

Objective: To modified the classic dithiothreitol (DTT) method for treating red blood cells (RBCs) in Technical Manual of American Association of Blood Banks(AABB) and evaluate its application value in pre-transfusion examination of patients treated with daratumumab.

Methods: The classic 0.2 mol/L DTT method was improved in terms of PBS, DTT concentration, donor RBCs concentration (suspended/packed) and sample processing time.

Objective: To investigate the effect of internal heat-type acupuncture needle on the expression of osteoprotegerin (OPG), receptor activator of NF-κB ligand (RANKL), and receptor activator of NF-κB (RANK) in knee osteoarthritis (KOA) rabbits, so as to explore its mechanisms in relieving KOA.

Methods: Thirty New Zealand rabbits were randomly divided into control, model and treatment groups, with 10 rabbits in each group. The KOA model was established by using Hulth method.

X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy is a common X-linked recessive peroxisomal disorder caused by the mutations in the ABCD1 gene. In this study, we analyzed 19 male patients and 9 female carriers with X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy in South China. By sequencing the ABCD1 gene, 13 different mutations were identified, including 7 novel mutations, and 6 known mutations, and 1 reported polymorphism.

Objective: To observe the dynamic distribution of the extravasated Evans Blue (EB) dye points at the skin after acute colorectal mucosal injury (AIMI) so as to reveal characteristics of acupoint sensitization.

Methods: Forty adult male SD rats were randomly divided into control (n= 10), AIMI (n=20) and AIMI-recovery (n= 10) groups. According to the reaction state (EB-dye extravasation), each group was further divided into resting state (control), sensitized state (appearance of extravasated EB points), recovery state (disappearance of the extravasated EB points), non-sensitization (NS, no extravasated EB points) state and NS recovery state.

We control the atomic coherence and the population transfer among Rb hyperfine atomic levels by the fractional stimulated Raman adiabatic passage (F-STIRAP) in a L-type configuration, and verify the theoretical predictions. Applying this technique, we are able to prepare the atoms with maximal coherence to enhance coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) signal. In our experiment by scanning the frequency of one laser from 794.
