OBJECTIVE:To study the effects of Lactobacillus fermentum(Lb-f)on inhibition of cytoxan(CTX) on HCT116 cells of human colorectal cancer in vitro and in vivo. METHODS:HCT116 cells were cultured in vitro. MTT assay was used to in-vestigate the effects of 4,2,1μg/ml CTX and combined with 10μg/ml Lb-f on the survival rate of HCT116 cells. HCT116 cell xe-nograft tumor nude mice model was induced to investigate the effects of 100,50,25 mg/kg CTX and combined with 180 mg/kg Lb-f on tumor volume,tumor weight,relative tumor inhibition rate,the sensitization effect of chemotherapy (by q value),the number of peripheral blood leucocyte and platelet. RESULTS:Compared with CTX alone,CTX combined with Lb-f had no signifi-cant effect on survival rate of HCT116,relative inhibition rate of tumor volume in nude mice, relative inhibition rate of tumor weight and q value (P>0.05),but increased the number of peripheral blood leucocyte and platelet (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:No synergistic effects of Lb-f is found on the inhibition of CTX on the growth of HCT116 in vitro and in vivo;Lb-f can inhibit the decrease of peripheral blood leucocyte and platelet of HCT116 cell xenograft tumor nude mice induced by CTX.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and toxicity of single-agent bendamustine in patients with indolent B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) refractory to rituximab. Methods:Between April 2010 and April 2013, 100 patients with rituximab-refrac-tory indolent B-cell NHL from 8 institutions were enrolled. Bendamustine was administered at 120 mg/m2 on days 1 and 2 every 21 days for 6-8 cycles. The primary endpoint was the overall response rate (ORR). The secondary endpoints included disease control rate (DCR), progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and safety. Results:One hundred patients with a median age of 56 (rang-ing from 28 to 74) years were recruited in this clinical study. The total number of chemotherapy was 447 cycles, and the median number was 4 cycles. Ninety-three patients could be evaluated for efficacy. Fifteen patients (16.1%) had complete remission (CR), 52 (55.9%) had partial remission (PR), 22 (23.7%) had stable disease (SD), and 4 (4.3%) had progression disease (PD). The ORR and DCR were 72%and 95.7%, respectively. After a median follow-up of 26.6 months (ranging from 2 to 48.4 months), 59 patients (63.4%) had PD.The median PFS was 8.53 (95%CI:6.518-10.542) months, and PFS rate for 1 year was (40.6±5.3)%. Forty-eight patients (48%) had 3/4 grade adverse events, including leucopenia (26%), neutropenia (24%), and anemia (11%). Conclusion:Single-agent bendamustine produced a high rate of objective responses in patients with rituximab-refractory indolent B-cell NHL and could be one of the new op-tions for second-line treatment of these patients. The most common adverse event is hematologic toxicity.

Objective:To evaluate the performance of machine learning (ML) based on automated breast volume scanner (ABVS) radiomics in distinguishing benign and malignant BI-RADS 4 lesions.Methods:Between May to December 2020, patients with BI-RADS 4 lesions from the Affiliated Hospital of Southwest Medical University (Center 1) and Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine (Center 2) were prospectively collected and divided into training cohort (Center 1) and external validation cohort (Center 2). The radiomics features of BI-RADS 4 lesions were extracted from the axial, sagittal and coronal ABVS images by MaZda software. In the training cohort, 7 feature selection methods and thirteen ML algorithms were combined in pairs to construct different ML models, and the 6 models with the best performance were verified in the external validation cohort to determine the final ML model. Finally, the diagnostic performance and confidence (5-point scale) of radiologists (R1, R2 and R3, with 3, 6 and 10 years of experience, respectively) with or without the model were evaluated.Results:①A total of 251 BI-RADS 4 lesions were enrolled, including 178 lesions (91 benign, 87 malignant) in the training cohort and 73 lesions (44 benign, 29 malignant) in the external validation cases. ②In the training cohort, the 6 ML models (DNN-RFE, AdaBoost-RFE, LR-RFE, LDA-RFE, Bagging-RFE and SVM-RFE) had the best diagnostic performance, and their AUCs were 0.972, 0.969, 0.968, 0.968, 0.967 and 0.962, respectively. ③In the external validation cohort, the DNN-RFE still had the best performance with the AUC, accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, PPV and NPV were 0.886, 0.836, 0.934, 0.776, 86.8% and 82.5%, respectively. ④Before model assistance, R1 had the worst diagnostic performance with the accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, PPV and NPV were 0.680, 0.750, 0.640, 57% and 81%, respectively. After model assistance, the diagnostic performance of R1 was significantly improved ( P=0.039), and its diagnostic sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, PPV and NPV improved to 0.730, 0.810, 0.930, 68% and 94%; while the improvement of R2 and R3 were not significantly ( P=0.811, 0.752). Meanwhile, the overall diagnostic confidence of the 3 radiologists increased from 2.8 to 3.3 ( P<0.001). Conclusions:The performance of ML based on ABVS radiomics in distinguishing between benign and malignant BI-RADS 4 lesions is good, which may improve the diagnostic performance of inexperienced radiologists and enhance diagnostic confidence.

OBJECTIVE
To prepare a self-microemulsifying drug delivery system(SMEDDS) for the oral administration of nebivolol hydrochloride(NBH) and to conduct in vitro evaluation.
METHODS
The solubility of NBH was determined using various oil phases, surfactants, and co-surfactants. The composition of the blank self-microemulsifying formulation was determined using pseudo-ternary phase diagrams. A centralcomposite design-response surface method was employed to screen and optimize the formulation variables, and an excess amount of NBH raw material was incorporated to determine the drug loading capacity.
RESULTS
The optimized composition of the NBH-SMEDDS formulation consisted of medium-chain glycerides, capryl caproyl macrogol glycerides, and 2-(2-ethoxyethoxy) ethyl acetate at a ratio of 20∶48∶32, with a drug loading capacity of 20.05 mg. The particle size, self-emulsification time, and particle size distribution range of the formulation were in agreement with the predicted values. Dissolution testing demonstrated that the overall dissolution trend of NBH-SMEDDS in the medium was higher than that of NBH powder and NBH ordinary tablet. The stability of NBH-SMEDDS was found to be satisfactory under accelerated conditions for 1, 2, and 3 months.
CONCLUSION
The SMEDDS shows potential for enhancing the in vitro dissolution of NBH and demonstrates good stability.
