    Abstract What is known and objective: Severe hypertriglyceridemia (HTG) can cause acute pancreatitis (AP).
    Case summary: We report a patient with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia who received long-term intravenous parenteral nutrition solution without monitoring of the serum triglyceride (TG) level, which resulted in fat overload syndrome and HTG-AP.
    What is new and conclusion: Double filtration plasmapheresis was performed to eliminate the TGs and treat the AP.

    Abstract The association between rs738409 (C>G, I148M) with patatin-like phospholipase domain-containing 3 (PNPLA3) gene and the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) was controversial in different ethnic populations. Our study aimed to explore the effect of PNPLA3 rs738409 on the risk of HCC and persistent infection of Hepatitis B virus (HBV) in a Chinese HBV-related population, and further evaluate its role in HCC risk among Asians. First, we performed a case-control study by recruiting 786 HBV-related HCC cases, 695 HBV persistent carriers and 719 HBV natural clearance subjects. PNPLA3 rs738409 was genotyped by MassARRAY platform. Second, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis on Asians to further validate our results. Our case-control study demonstrated that PNPLA3 rs738409 was not associated with HCC risk or persistent HBV infection (All P > 0.05). The subsequent meta-analysis included 13 Asian studies with 9,802 subjects. Results showed that PNPLA3 rs738409 might increase HCC risk among healthy subjects (pooled odds ratio [OR] = 1.47, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.11-1.95), but it had no influence on the development of HCC among HBV-related subjects (pooled OR = 1.07, 95%CI = 0.89-1.30). Our case-control study highlights that PNPLA3 rs738409 is probably not associated with the risk of HCC or persistent HBV infection in a Chinese HBV-related population. Besides, our systematic review and meta-analysis on Asians further suggest that PNPLA3 rs738409 may confer an increased risk of HCC among healthy people, but contribute little to the development of HCC among HBV-related subjects. Future studies are required to confirm these results.

    Abstract Objectives: A novel pathogen reduction technique based on vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) irradiation was developed to reduce pathogen numbers in red blood cell (RBC) components.
    Background: Contaminated blood components pose a great risk of infection in blood recipients. The continuous development of blood screening techniques and pathogen inactivating systems has significantly reduced this risk, but many limitations remain.
    Methods: Escherichia coli and Bacillus cereus, and bacteriophage (BP) and Lentivirus (LV) were spiked into suspended red blood cells (sRBCs) or plasma. VUV light with maximum emission at 185 nm and an average dosage of 164 μW/cm
    Results: Treatment for 5 minutes was effective; 3 and 10 log reductions of E coli counts were observed in sRBCs and plasma, and 2 and 3 log reductions of B cereus counts were observed in sRBCs and plasma, respectively. The BP titre was reduced by two and five log points in sRBCs and plasma, respectively; the LV titre was reduced by at least three log points in both sRBCs and plasma. VUV-based irradiation of RBCs does not cause significant structural and functional harmful effects. This novel strategy provides moderate photonic energy to generate oxygen radicals from H
    Conclusion: The VUV-based pathogen reduction technique is a simple and fast procedure with high pathogen reduction efficacy, low toxicity and limited adverse effects on cellular blood products.

    Abstract Objective: To investigate the feasibility and effectiveness of multiple modes on home pain alleviation service used for advanced cancer patients to in prove clinical therapy services.
    Methods: The study was involved with 220 patients with advanced cancers to provide them with multimodal analgesia services at home, from February 2010 to February 2013. Patients in this study had been taking both opioid treatments. They were randomly divided into two groups with the number as 112 and 108 and were given different doses of morphine or other drugs. During the period of observation, data was collected under the M. D. Anderson symptom Inventory (MDASI) score and classification of score on pain.
    Results: Differences of pain scores in the two groups and the MDASI score were significant and presented as skewed distribution. Scores on pain score were between groups were significantly different (Z = -9.735, P < 0.001). The average rankings of A group and B group were 76.68 and 162.79 respectively. Under the application of 0.4 mg alprazolam, the degree of pain alleviation seemed to be better. The differences on comprehensive scores between different drug groups were statistically significant (Z = -13.334, P < 0.001). The average rankings of groups A and B were respectively 59.87 and 179.08. Under the use of 0.4 mg of alprazolam, the results could be considered to show better improvements in symptomatic patients. Application of 0.4 mg alprazolam on patients with advanced-cancer-induced-pain showed a better symptomatic improvement than using morphine.
    Conclusion: Patients with advanced cancers receiving multimodal analgesia short-term sedation therapies at home, showed both ideal feasibility and good effectiveness. When morphine was combined used with midazolam at home, a better outcome could be seen in pain-releasing on patients with cancer, than single morphine analgesia was used.
