Objective To evaluate the curative effect of transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) combined with intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) in treating advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC),and to discuss the occurrence of adverse events.Methods A total of 59 patients with advanced HCC were enrolled in this study.The patients were randomly divided into TACE plus IMRT group (study group,n=30) and TACE group (control group,n=29).The early tumor response rate,progression free survival (PFS),median survival time (mST),and adverse reactions were analyzed.Results The early tumor response rate in the study group was 60.0％,which was significantly higher than 34.4％ in the control group (P=0.043).PFS of the study group was 260 days,which was remarkably higher than 195 days of the control group (P=0.006).The mST was 468 days in the study group,which was 431 days in the control group (P=0.195).In the study group,2 patients developed severe liver function damage,which was improved after active liver protection therapy for more than 20 days.Conclusion For the treatment of advanced HCC,TACE combined with IMRT can improve early tumor response rate and prolong PFS time,moreover,its adverse reactions can be well tolerated by patients.

OBJECTIVETo analyze the value of 2- and 9-question patient health questionnaires (PHQ-2 and PHQ-9) for screening status of depression in cardiovascular outpatients.

METHODSFrom June 2013 to January 2014, a total of 201 outpatients from psycho-cardiological outpatients departments were consecutively enrolled into this study. All patients were asked to complete PHQ-9 and the mental psychological assessment by qualified researchers trained by psychiatry according to the composite international diagnostic interviews (CIDI), 50 cases were retested to assess the retest reliability after one week. The PHQ-2 and PHQ-9 were validated with the CIDI as the reference criteria.

RESULTSAccording to the CIDI, 42 (21.3%) out of the 201 outpatients were diagnosed as depression. For PHQ-9 scale, a cutoff value of 10 presented satisfactory results with 87.1% sensitivity, 83.5% specificity, 58.7% positive predicting value, 95.6% negative predicting value and the area under the ROC curve (AUC) was 0.877 (SE = 0.032, 95% CI: 0.813-0.938). The Cronbach's alpha coefficients and test-retest reliability of the PHQ-9 were 0.809 and 0.882, respectively. Compared with CIDI, the cutoff value of the PHQ-2 was 3 with 85.7% sensitivity, 69.2% specificity, 57.1% positive predicting value, 93.6% negative predicting value, and the AUC was 0.806 (SE = 0.042, 95% CI: 0.774-0.889). The Cronbach's alpha coefficients and test-retest reliability of the PHQ-2 were 0.785 and 0.813, respectively.

CONCLUSIONThe PHQ-2 and PHQ-9 are reliable and efficient instruments for screening and especially excluding depression in cardiovascular outpatients.

OBJECTIVETo explore if the new onset hypertension was related with metabolic risk factors and lifestyle in Beijing community residents to guide the targeted prevention of hypertension.

METHODSA population-based survey with a randomly cluster sampling was made to observe the relationship between metabolic risk factors and lifestyle with new onset hypertension by multivariate and logistic regression.

RESULTSA total of 4 034 subjects with normal blood pressure at baseline were included and 978 (24.2%) residents developed hypertension two years later. Multiple logistic analysis demonstrated that risk factors that contributed to new onset hypertension were prehypertension, overweight, obesity, frequent alcohol drinking, metabolic syndrome (MS), age and male gender, the respective Odds Ratios(OR) and 95% confidence interval (95%CI) are as follows: 3.512 (2.965-4.168), 1.654 (1.423-1.918), 2.264 (1.633-2.951), 1.493 (1.231-1.775), 1.329 (1.227-1.414), 1.226 (1.115-1.335), 1.135(1.018-1.221). College education serves as the protective factor, and the OR (95%CI) was 0.692 (0.476, 0.897).

CONCLUSIONSNew onset hypertension in Beijing community residents is mainly related with prehypertension, overweight or obesity, MS, frequent alcohol drinking and low education level. We should pay more attention to modulating metabolic risk factors and lifestyle to reduce the new onset hypertension in China.

Objectives:To investigate the safety and efficacy of concomitant mitral valvuloplasty(MVP)and implantation of domestic third-generation magnetically levitated Corheart 6 left ventricular assist device(LVAD). Methods:Clinical data of 13 end-stage heart failure patients who underwent Corheart 6 LVAD implantation and MVP at Central China Fuwai Hospital of Zhengzhou University from October 2021 to March 2023 were retrospectively analyzed.Mortality and complication events during hospitalization and at follow-up were collected,and changes in myocardial injury biomarkers,renal function,hemodynamics,and echocardiographic indices were observed. Results:There were no perioperative deaths and no MVP-related complications in these patients.During a mean follow-up of(14.2±5.6)months,2 patients died due to COVID-19 pneumonia and cardiac arrest respectively,11 cases(84.6%)survived.There were no recurrences of moderate-to-severe mitral regurgitation in the survived patients.Compared with preoperative value,higher cardiac output,lower central venous pressure,pulmonary artery systolic pressure(PASP),and mean pulmonary artery pressure(PAMP)were evidenced at 24 h and 72 h postoperatively,estimated glomerular filtration rate was also reduced at 1 week post operation(all P<0.010).High-sensitive troponin T level was significantly increased at 1 week post operation and then reduced at 1 month post operation,but still not returned to pre-operative level([125.5±281.9]pg/ml at baseline,[1 295.6±654.6]pg/ml at 1 week post operation and[278.0±300.5]pg/ml at 1 month post operation).Echocardiography showed that compared with preoperative period,the left ventricular ejection fraction tended to be higher at 1 and 6 months postoperatively(both P>0.017),whereas left ventricular end-diastolic dimension,PASP,and PAMP were significantly reduced(all P<0.010). Conclusions:Domestic third-generation magnetically levitated Corheart 6 LVAD implantation with concomitant MVP is safe and feasible,there is no recurrence of moderate-to-severe mitral regurgitation,a significant reduction in pulmonary artery pressure,and significant hemodynamic improvement in early to mid-term postoperatively are observed in survived patients.

Objective To compare the efficacy, safety, and survivability of TCbHP versus AC-THP in the neoadjuvant therapy of HER2-positive breast cancer in real-world. Methods Clinical data of patients with HER2 positive breast cancer, who have received TCbHP or AC-THP as neoadjuvant therapy and completed surgery in 11 third-class hospitals in various cities of Hebei Province, were retrospectively collected.The total pathological complete remission (tpCR) rate, the incidence of grade 3 or higher adverse reactions and the completion rate of the given approaches were compared. Results A total of 110 cases were collected, including 78 cases in the TCbHP group and 32 cases in the AC-THP group.The tpCR rate of the TCbHP group was higher than that of the AC-THP group, but the difference was not statistically significant (64.10% vs. 56.25%, P=0.441).No significant difference was found in the breast pathologic complete response (bpCR) and axillary pathologic complete response (apCR) rates between the TCbHP group and the AC-THP group (70.51% vs. 56.25%, P=0.150;78.21% vs. 84.38%, P=0.462).Exploratory analysis revealed that the tpCR rate of the TCbHP group was significantly higher than that of the AC-THP group in patients with HR-positive breast cancer (51.11% vs. 22.22%, P=0.036).As for the patients with HR-negative breast cancer, the tpCR rate of the AC-THP group tended to be higher than that of the TCbHP group (100% vs. 81.82%, P=0.088).The incidence of grade 3 or higher adverse reactions in the TCbHP group was slightly higher than that in the AC-THP group (12.82% vs. 9.38%, P=0.753).No deaths occurred in the whole group.Moreover, no significant difference was observed in the completion rate of the given approaches between the TCbHP group and the AC-THP group (92.31% vs. 90.63%, P=0.718). Conclusion In real-world clinical practice, the neoadjuvant therapy of TCbHP and AC-THP are effective, safe, and well tolerated among patients with HER2-positive breast cancer.The tpCR rate between the two approaches was not significantly different.The AC-THP regimen could also be considered as one of the optimal regimens for HER2-positive breast cancer in neoadjuvant therapy.

Objective To evaluate the predicting value of circulating miRNAs for sepsis secondary to pneumonia in elderly patients.Methods From April 2016 to January 2017,44 cases with sepsis secondary to pneumonia,52 elderly patients with pneumonia and 21 healthy older adults as control were involved in this study.The expression levels of MiRNA-150 5p,miRNA-25-3p,miRNA-122 5p and miRNA-223-3p in plasma were evaluated by fluorescence quantitative PCR.The demographic characteristics,sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA)scores,prognosis and days stayed in ICU were recorded.The area under the receiver operating charaeteristic(ROC)curve was used to calculated the specificity and sensitivity of miRNA in identifying sepsis-associated pneumonia.Results There were significantly differences among levels of circulating miRNA-223-3p in pneumonia,sepsis and healthy control groups(F =36.441,P =0.000),△CT values were 2.39 ± 1.36,1.44± 1.43,and 4.58 ± 0.91,respectively.The relative expression levels of miRNA-223-3p in the three groups were significantly different (P =0.000),which were 0.189 (0.107,0.367),0.361 (0.221,0.735),and 0.044 (0.022,0.061),respectively.The AUC of miRNA-223-3p for predicting sepsis from pneumonia was 0.964(95 ％CI =0.925 1.000).At a cutoff value of 2.759,miRNA-223-3p yielded a sensitivity of 82.9％ and a specificity of 100.0％.Conclusions MiRNA-223-3p expression is up-regulated in patients with sepsis secondary to pneumonia compared to that of patients with pneumonia,and it could be used to predict sepsis associated pneumonia.
