CD19 + CD21lo/neg cells are increased in systemic sclerosis-associated interstitial lung disease

Interstitial lung disease (ILD) represents a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in systemic sclerosis (SSc). The purpose of this study was to examine recirculating lymphocytes from SSc patients for potential biomarkers of interstitial lung disease (ILD). Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated from patients with SSc and healthy controls enrolled in the Vanderbilt University Myositis and Scleroderma Treatment Initiative Center cohort between 9/2017–6/2019. Clinical phenotyping was performed by chart abstraction. Immunophenotyping was performed using both mass cytometry and fluorescence cytometry combined with t-distributed stochastic neighbor embedding analysis and traditional biaxial gating. This study included 34 patients with SSc-ILD, 14 patients without SSc-ILD, and 25 healthy controls. CD21^lo/neg cells are significantly increased in SSc-ILD but not in SSc without ILD (15.4 ± 13.3% vs. 5.8 ± 0.9%, p = 0.002) or healthy controls (5.0 ± 0.5%, p < 0.0001). While CD21^lo/neg B cells can be identified from a single biaxial gate, tSNE analysis reveals that the biaxial gate is comprised of multiple distinct subsets, all of which are increased in SSc-ILD. CD21^lo/neg cells in both healthy controls and SSc-ILD are predominantly tBET positive and do not have intracellular CD21. Immunohistochemistry staining demonstrated that CD21^lo/neg B cells diffusely infiltrate the lung parenchyma of an SSc-ILD patient. Additional work is needed to validate this biomarker in larger cohorts and longitudinal studies and to understand the role of these cells in SSc-ILD.

     

补充与替代疗法治疗肠易激综合征的研究进展

肠易激综合征是临床常见的功能性胃肠病之一。由于多数患者的症状经过一线药物治疗后仍不能得到较好改善，许多患者为获得更好的治疗效果，转向选择补充与替代疗法进行治疗。然而，由于研究质量和数量的限制，大部分治疗肠易激综合征的补充与替代疗法并未被相关共识和指南所推荐。本文从补充与替代疗法的分类入手，从天然产品、身心治疗、传统医药3个方面就目前国内外常用的补充与替代疗法治疗肠易激综合征的研究进行概述，以期为临床工作者和患者更好地了解和应用提供帮助。     

高密度多孔聚乙烯植入体在鼻整形中的应用

目的 探究高密度多孔聚乙烯植入体在鼻整形中的应用价值方法 选取2019年5月-2021年8月我院接受综合鼻整形手术的106例患者为研究对象，采用照随机数字表法分为对照组和观察组，各53例。 对照组采用自体肋骨植入术，观察组采用高密度多孔聚乙烯植入体植入治疗，比较两组临床手术指标(手术时间、恢复时间)、整形优良率、鼻指标(鼻高度/鼻长度比例、鼻唇角)、并发症发生率以及疼痛评分结果 观察组手术时间、术后恢复时间均短于对照组(P＜0.05)；观察组整形优良率为94.34%，高于对照组的86.79%，差异有统计学意义(P＜0.05)；观察组鼻高度/鼻长度比例高于对照组，鼻唇角小于对照组，差异有统计学意义(P＜0.05)；观察组并发症发生率为5.66%，低于对照组的15.09%，差异有统计学意义(P＜0.05)；观察组疼痛评分低于对照组，差异有统计学意义(P＜0.05)；观察组治疗满意度为 96.23%，高于对照组的84.91%，差异有统计学意义(P＜0.05)结论 高密度多孔聚乙烯植入体在鼻整形中的应用效果理想，可减轻患者疼痛度，缩短手术和恢复时间，降低并发症发生率，改善鼻高度/鼻长度比例和鼻唇角，实现理想的整形效果。     

伏立康唑一级预防急性白血病患者化疗期间并发真菌感染的临床疗效北大核心

目的:探讨初诊急性白血病患者化疗期间应用伏立康唑进行预防侵袭性真菌病(IFD)的临床疗效及安全性。方法:回顾性分析2016年02月至2018年03月期间我院血液科收治的初诊急性白血病行化疗的患者166例,按照是否使用抗真菌药进行预防性治疗分为观察组(应用伏立康唑进行预防治疗,n=103)和对照组(未应用抗真菌药物,n=63),比较两组患者IFD发生率差异,并分析抗真菌药物应用的不良反应。结果:观察组IFD发生率为10.7%,对照组为33.3%,两组患者的IFD发生率有明显差异(P<0.05);所有应用伏立康唑进行预防治疗的患者均未出现严重的不良反应。结论:伏立康唑可以有效减低急性白血病患者化疗期间IFD发生率,并且有着较好的安全性,值得在临床推广应用。
