Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma( DIPG)is a highly invasive tumor located in the pons (middle)of the brain stem. They are usually diagnosed during childhood and account for 10% -15% of primary brain tumors in children. DIPG has a very poor prognosis. Fewer than 10% of DIPG patients survive more than 2 years after diagnosis. The imaging manifestations of DIPG are typical,and biopsy is only performed in atypi-cal cases. The tissue specimens of newly diagnosed DIPG are very few and limit its molecular biological research. Recent advances in surgical and molecular-analytic techniques have increased the safety of biopsy which has already been used in many clinical trials step by step. The research of DIPG′s molecular pathogenesis and treatment is sure to achieve new breakthroughs.

A novel probe (DNSBN) towards biothiols on the basis of 4-hydroxynaphthalimide as fluorophores and 2, 4-dinitrobenzenesulfonyloxy group as specific recognition site was designed and synthesized.The result of absorption and fluorescence spectral analyses indicated that the probe had high sensitivity and selectivity towards cysteine (Cys), homocysteine (Hcy) and glutathione (GSH), and the detection was not affected by other 17 kinds of natural amino acids.Meanwhile, it was confirmed that DNSBN was a ratiometric probe through the fluorescence titration experiment, and the fluorescent intensity at 555 nm had a high linear relationship with biothiols concentration in the range of 0-20 μmol/L.The detection limits (3σ) of Cys, Hcy and GSH were 25.9, 92.0 and 77.9 nmol/L, respectively.The absorption, emission and mass spectra indicated that biothiols could be engaged in nucleophilic substitution reaction with 2,4-dinitrobenzenesulfonate, which induced the sulfonic esters decomposed.With the departure of receptor unit, the d-PeT progress (donor-excited photoinduced electron transfer) was blocked with an obvious colorimetric and fluorescence change.Finally, HeLa cell imaging experiments verified that DNSBN had good biocompatibility and could be used to detect exogenous biothiols.

Early diagnosis and intervention is an important way to delay the progress of Alzheimer′s disease (AD).Compared with cerebrospinal fluid, blood sampling is not invasive and easy to be obtained in clinic practice.In this study, the serum samples of 9 controls, 10 AD and 12 mild cognitive dysfunction (MCI) patients were analyzed and compared through one by one analysis to screen potential markers for AD diagnosis.The experimental results showed that VGFYESDVMGR of α-2-macroglobulin peptide was closely related to the late stage of AD disease, and the large amount degradation of apolipoprotein C-Ⅲ, histone H1.2 and histone H1.4 was significantly related to early stages of AD progression.The characteristics of serum peptidome were different for the early and late AD, and these four proteins may be used as potential biomarkers of AD disease.In addition, the obvious ladder sequence characteristic was observed for apolipoprotein C-Ⅲ and histone H1, which could partly explain why the peptides distribution in different samples was somewhat contingent.On the contrary, the distribution at protein level was more stable.Finally, it was confirmed that the peptides of proteins such as fibrinogen α-chain, thymosin β-4 and patchy proteins were the dominant peptides in all serum samples.Overall, this study showed that the method of using serum peptidomics to diagnose AD was possible.The results may provide evidence and references for the large-scale clinical validation of AD.

Objective:To explore the application of the early clinical exposure concept-guided question-answer teaching model combined with the ORTCC (objectives, rules, training, check, and culture) model in endocrine teaching reform.Methods:Sixty-two students who interned at Beijing Anzhen Hospital of Capital Medical University from August 2022 to August 2023 were divided into control group and observation group according to the order of student number, with 31 students in each group. The control group received traditional teaching, while the observation group received early clinical exposure concept-guided question-answer teaching combined with the ORTCC model. At the end of the internship, the two groups were compared in terms of theoretical and practical assessment scores and comprehensive competency assessment scores. SPSS 22.0 was used to perform the t-test. Results:The theoretical assessment score of the control group was (87.00±3.86) points, while that of the observation group was (91.26±4.34) points, with a statistically significant difference between the two groups ( t=4.09, P<0.001). The observation group also showed significantly higher scores of clinical practice assessment and comprehensive competency assessment than the control group ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The combination of question-answer teaching guided by the early clinical exposure concept and the ORTCC model is helpful for endocrine interns to master theoretical knowledge and acquire clinical practical skills and comprehensive abilities, effectively improving the quality of internship teaching.

As indications of radiotherapy in the treatment of breast cancer continue to expand, more and more patients need radiotherapy after mastectomy. With the development of breast reconstruction, radiotherapy and its timing will affect breast reconstruction while patients benefit from tumor treatment and may lead to different postoperative complications and cosmetic effects. How to optimize the comprehensive therapeutic strategies of postoperative breast reconstruction and radiotherapy for breast cancer, especially the techniques of breast reconstruction and the choices of radiotherapy timing, has become an issue of common concerns of multidisciplinary treatment involving radiotherapy, breast surgery, and plastic surgery. This paper aims to review and summarize the latest high-quality research in this field including the impact of radiotherapy and its timing on tissue expander/prosthetic breast reconstruction, rate of prosthetic reconstruction, and postoperative patient satisfaction so that scholars can understand the latest research progress of radiotherapy and breast reconstruction and clinicians can optimize therapeutic regimens.

Objective:To explore and describe clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of patients with double primary breast cancer (BC) and thyroid cancer (TC).Methods:Medical records of 98 patients diagnosed with double primary breast and thyroid cancer in National Cancer Center (NCC)/Cancer Hospital between January 1, 2001 and December 31, 2020 were retrospectively collected. All of the patients were followed up until January 1, 2021 to acquire survival data. Univariate survival analysis was conducted by Kaplan-Meier method, and multivariate survival analysis was carried out using the Cox proportional hazard model.Results:All of 98 patients in the group were women. The age at diagnosis of the first tumor ranged from 26-72 years old, and the median age was 47 years old. The BC recurring TC (breast methyl) group included 18 cases, TC recurring BC (methyl breast) group included 60 cases, BC and TC simultaneously occurred group (the two are diagnosed within 3 months) included 20 cases. There were statistically significant differences in breast cancer pathological grading, breast cancer postoperative radiotherapy, and combined with other tumors in breast methyl group, methyl breast group and the simultaneous group ( P<0.05). Among the 98 patients, 14 had recurrence and metastasis, and 7 died. The patients who died from tumors were all those with TC recurrence of BC. There were no statistically significant differences in the death, recurrence and metastasis of patients in the breast methyl group, methyl breast group and the simultaneous group ( P>0.05). Univariate analysis showed that BC stage and estrogen receptor (ER) were related to overall survival ( P<0.05), while the family history of BC, BC stage, and ER were not related with the recurrence and metastasis ( P<0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that BC family history, ER positive, and the order of tumor diagnosis (TC recurring BC) were independent influencing factors for the recurrence and metastasis ( P<0.05). Conclusion:ER negative is a poor prognostic factor for the double primary breast and thyroid cancer.
