Perilipin2 inhibits the replication of hepatitis B virus deoxyribonucleic acid by regulating autophagy under high-fat conditions.

Background: Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is often associated with increased lipid deposition in hepatocytes. However, when combined with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease or hyperlipidemia, it tends to have a lower HBV deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) load. The relationship between lipid metabolism and HBV DNA replication and its underlying mechanisms are not well understood.

[Correlative Analysis between Production of Platelet HLA-Ⅰ Antibody and HLA-A, B Genes in Patients with Malignant Hematological Diseases].

Objective: To investigate the correlation between the production of platelet HLA-Ⅰ antibody and HLA-A, B genes in patients with malignant hematological diseases, and explore the susceptible gene for producing platelet HLA-Ⅰ antibody.

Methods: Patients with malignant hematological diseases who had received multiple platelet transfusion were selected as the research objects in the Department of Hematology of our hospital. Platelet HLA-I antibody were screened by ELISA, and the patients were divided into positive and negative groups according to the results.

[The Efficacy of Rh Phenotype Matched Blood Transfusion].

Objective: To analyze and evaluate the efficacy of Rh phenotype matched blood transfusion.

Methods: The increasing of hemoglobin (Hb) and hemolysis tests in the patients treated by Rh matched red blood cells or not, as well as the first time unmatched transfusions and the unmatched transfusions happened again after a period (≥10 d) were retrospectively analyzed.

Results: A total of 674 times transfusions in 120 patients were evaluated.

[Clinical Characteristics and Survival Analysis of Patients with IgD Multiple Myeloma].

Objective: To explore the clinical features, prognosis and survival of patients with IgD multiple myeloma (MM).

Methods: The clinical data of 20 patients with IgD MM was analyzed retrospectively. The prognostic factors and survival analysis was carried out.

[Clinical Characteristic, Prognosis and Treatment Outcome of Elderly Multiple Myeloma Patients with Impaired Renal Function].

Objective: To explore the risk factors, prognosis and curative effect of elderly patients with MM renal damage.

Methods: 118 patients with primary elderly MM treated in our hospital from January 2011 to December 2018, were enrolled analyzed retrospectively. The clinical characteristics and prognosis of renal function impairment group (RI group) and normal renal function group (non-RI group) were compared.

[Clinical Analysis of 46 Cases of Multiple Myeloma with Extramedullary Disease].

Objective: To investigate the effect of clinical baseline data on prognosis in patients with multiple myeloma (MM) complicated by extramedullary disease (EMD).

Methods: The clinical data of 46 MM patients with EMD were retrospectively analyzed. The clinical data and survival prognosis of MM patients in primary EMD group and recurrent EMD group were analyzed.

Standards of care for Kasabach-Merritt phenomenon in China.

Kasabach-Merritt phenomenon (KMP) is a rare disease that is characterized by severe thrombocytopenia and consumptive coagulation dysfunction caused by kaposiform hemangioendothelioma or tufted hemangioma. This condition primarily occurs in infants and young children, usually with acute onset and rapid progression. This review article introduced standardized recommendations for the pathogenesis, clinical manifestation, diagnostic methods and treatment process of KMP in China, which can be used as a reference for clinical practice.

[Effects of Different Storage Time and Temperature on Coagulation Function of Fresh Frozen Plasma after Thawing].

Objective: To investigate the coagulation function changes of fresh frozen plasma storaged at different storage time and temperature after thawing.

Methods: Forty unit of fresh frozen plasma were collected, and thawed at 37 °C for 25 minutes. Each unit was divided into 2 halves: one was stored at (4±2)°C for 72 hours and the other one was stored at (25±2) °C for 72 hours.

Gartanin Protects Neurons against Glutamate-Induced Cell Death in HT22 Cells: Independence of Nrf-2 but Involvement of HO-1 and AMPK.

Oxidative stress mediates the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative disorders. Gartanin, a natural xanthone of mangosteen, possesses multipharmacological activities. Herein, the neuroprotection capacity of gartanin against glutamate-induced damage in HT22 cells and its possible mechanism(s) were investigated for the first time.

Neolignans from Aristolochia fordiana Prevent Oxidative Stress-Induced Neuronal Death through Maintaining the Nrf2/HO-1 Pathway in HT22 Cells.

Bioassay-guided fractionation of the ethanolic extract of the stems of Aristolochia fordiana led to the isolation of six new dihydrobenzofuran neolignans (1-3 and 7-9), three new 2-aryldihydrobenzofurans (4-6), a new 8-O-4' neolignan (10), and 14 known analogues (11-24). The structures of compounds 1-10 were established by spectroscopic methods, and their absolute configurations were determined by analyses of the specific rotation and electronic circular dichroism data. The neuroprotective effects of compounds 1-24 against glutamate-induced cell death were tested in hippocampal neuronal cell line HT22.

Osthole, a natural coumarin improves cognitive impairments and BBB dysfunction after transient global brain ischemia in C57 BL/6J mice: involvement of Nrf2 pathway.

Oxidative stress and blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption play important roles in cerebral ischemic pathogenesis and may represent targets for treatment. Earlier studies have shown that osthole, a main active constituent isolated from Cnidium monnieri (L.) Cusson, could be considered as an attractive therapeutic agent in the treatment of ischemic stroke.

[Evaluation of optimal dosage of heparin in hemodialysis patients by thromboelastograph].

Objective: To assess the blood coagulation function and investigate the appropriate dose of unfractionated heparin by thromboelastograph in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients.

Methods: Thirty MHD patients were enrolled in this study and divided into two groups. The total dose of unfractionated heparin was below 80 u/kg in the low-dose group (LH, n=16), while it exceeded 80 u/kg in the high-dose group (HH, n=14).

[Association between polymorphism in DVWA and IL-1beta and Kashin-Beck disease].

Objective: To investigate the association between IL-1beta and DVWA gene and Kashin-Beck disease (KBD).

Methods: Peripheral genomic DNA were extracted from 105 patients with KBD and 98 healthy controls. PCR-RFLP were performed to detect SNP loci of IL-1beta gene and DVWA gene.
