The rutile structure titanium oxide (Ti-O) film was prepared on the pure titanium material TA2 (99.999%) surface by the magnetic filter high vacuum arc deposition sputtering source. The method can not only maintain the material mechanical properties, but also improve the surface properties for better biocompatibility to accommodate the physiological environment. The preparation process of the Ti-O film was as follows. Firstly, argon ions sputtered to the TA2 substrate surface to remove the excess impurities. Secondly, a metal ion source generated Ti ions and oxygen ions by the RF discharge. Meanwhile a certain negative bias was imposed on the sample. There a certain composition of Ti-O film was obtained under a certain pressure of oxygen in the vacuum chamber. Finally, X-ray diffraction was used to research the structure and composition of the film. The results showed that the Ti-O film of the rutile crystal structure was formed under the 0.18 Pa oxygen partial pressure. A Nano scratch experiment was used to test the coating adhesion property, which demonstrated that the film was stable and durable. The contact angle experiment and the platelet clotting experiment proved that the modified surface method had improved platelet adhesion performance, and, therefore, the material possessed better biocompatibility. On the whole, the evaluations proved the modified material had excellent performance.

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of nab-paclitaxel plus platinum as first-line chemotherapy for ovarian cancer (OC). Methods: Patients administered platinum combined with nab-paclitaxel as first-line chemotherapy for epithelial OC, fallopian tube cancer, or primary peritoneal cancer from July 2018 to December 2021 were retrospectively evaluated. The primary outcome was progression-free survival (PFS). Adverse events (AEs) were examined. Subgroup analysis was performed. Results: Seventy-two patients (median age, 54.5 years; range, 20.0–79.0 years) were evaluated, including 12 and 60 administered neoadjuvant therapy and primary surgery with subsequent chemotherapy, respectively. The median follow-up duration was 25.6 months, and the median PFS was 26.7 (95% confidence interval [CI]=24.0–29.3) months in the whole patient population. In the neoadjuvant subgroup, the median PFS was 26.7 (95% CI=22.9–30.5) months vs. 30.1 (95% CI=23.1–37.1) months in the primary surgery subgroup. Twenty-seven patients were administered nab-paclitaxel plus carboplatin and had a median PFS of 30.3 (95% CI=not available [NA]–NA) months. The commonest grade 3–4 AEs included anemia (15.3%), white blood cell decreased (11.1%), and neutrophil count decreased (20.8%). No drug-related hypersensitivity reactions occurred. Conclusion Nab-paclitaxel plus platinum as first-line treatment in OC was associated with a favorable prognosis and was tolerable in patients with OC.

Objective To investigate the pathogenesis of white matter damage (WMD) and the effects of xenon intervention on the expression of EphB4 and EphrinB2 mRNA in the brain tissue of neonatal rats.Method Three-day-old SD rat pups (n =96) were randomly assigned into sham group (n =24),model group (n =24),xenon intervention group 1 (n =24) and xenon intervention group 2 (n =24).The WMD model was established by injected of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) 0.05 mg/kg combined with ligation of the right carotid artery for 1 h in the last three groups.Rats in xenon intervention group 1 inhaled 50％ xenon immediately for 3 h after modeling,while rats in xenon intervention group 2 inhaled 50％ xenon for 3 h at 2 h after modeling.After the completion of xenon intervention,6 rat pups in each groups were sacrificed at 0 h,24 h,48 h and 72 h.The pathologic examination of periventricular tissue was conducted with hematoxylin-eosin staining (HE) and the expression of EphB4 and EphrinB2 mRNA was assayed by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).Statistical analysis was then performed.Result (1)The structure of white matter in model group became loose,band net-like,with significant nucleus pyknosis.The pathological damages in xenon intervention group 1 and 2 were lighter at 24 h,48 h and 72 h than model group,with less karyopycnosis.(2) Compared with the sham group,the expressions of EphB4 and EphrinB2 mRNA at 0 h,24 h,48 h and 72 h were significantly higher in the model group and xenon intervention group 1 and 2 (P ＜ 0.05),except for the EphB4 mRNA in xenon intervention group 1 at 72 h (P ＞ 0.05).The expressions of EphB4 and EphrinB2 mRNA at each time point in xenon intervention group 1 and 2 were decreased significantly than the model group (P ＜ 0.05),except for the EphB4 mRNA in xenon intervention group 2 at 72 h (P ＞ 0.05).However,there was no statistically significant difference on EphB4 and EphrinB2 mRNA between two xenon intervention groups at each time point (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion The expression of EphB4 and EphrinB2 mRNA are appreciably increased in brain tissue of neonatal rats with WMD,which indicates the reactive angiogenesis.The intervention with xenon may play a neuroprotective role through reducing the expressions of EphB4/EphrinB2 mRNA and angiogenesis,and early intervention may be better.

Objective:To screen mutations of the adenosine triphosphate(ATP)-binding cassette transporter A3(ABCA3)gene in elderly Chinese individuals with lung interstitial diseases(ILDs)and to analyze the clinical characteristics of ILDs in elderly patients.Methods:A prospective study, After further image analysis of patients diagnosed with interstitial lung diseases between September 2015 and December 2018 at the Department of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, the Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University, 103 patients were willing to provide peripheral blood samples and signed informed consent.DNA samples were extracted and whole exome sequencing was performed to screen ABCA3 gene mutations.Clinical data of patients were summarized and analyzed.Results:Seven rare variants of the ABCA3 gene were identified in 6 patients, with a mean age of 67 years(69-73 years)and an equal sex distribution, and 33.3%(2/6)were smokers.The most notable presentation was diffuse lung lesions.Patients' final diagnoses included idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis(IPF, 3/6), nonspecific interstitial pneumonia(NSIP, 1/6), and IgG4-related lung disease(2/6). Meanwhile, compound heterozygous mutations of the ABCA3 gene responsible for IPF were identified in patient No.39, including p. Asp1465Asn, p.Leu3Vval and p. Val93Ile3, a new finding in patients with ILDs.Conclusions:ABCA3 mutation-related lung interstitial diseases exhibit variable characteristics, with differences in the age of onset, clinical manifestations, imaging features and prognosis between patients.ABCA3 mutations responsible for early-onset ILDs are mostly homozygous or compound heterozygous and usually highly pathogenic nonsense mutations.In contrast, ABCA3 mutations identified in elderly patients with ILDs are often missense mutations, a possible explanation for the variability of ILDs in the elderly.Since patients with ILDs caused by ABCA3 variants respond poorly to currently available treatment options, early genetic diagnosis may benefit patients by enhancing disease awareness.

Objective:To investigate the causes, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of children with spinal cord injury without radiologic abnormality caused by non-severe violence, and to raise the awareness of spinal cord injury in children.Methods:Retrospective analysis was performed on the age of onset, injury mechanism, main clinical symptoms and occurrence time, treatment process and recovery of children with spinal cord injury without radiologic abnormality caused by non-severe violence. The children were admitted to our hospital from August 2015 to September 2020. Abnormal findings in spinal cord MRI in acute stage were analyzed, and long-term prognosis was followed up by telephone. The degree of spinal cord injury was determined according to the criteria established by the American Spinal Cord Injury Association.Results:Of six patients, three boys and three girls, aged from 16 months to 8 years old.Injury mechanism: fall on the bed, a sudden fall in standing position, fall while jumping in sports.All of the symptoms appeared immediately after trauma, such as limb weakness, pain, unable to walk, urination disorders.Treatment process: spinal immobilization, methylprednisolone pulse therapy[20 mg/(kg·d)], alleviat edema and protect the nerve system, necessary symptomatic treatment including urethral catheterization, the use of antibiotics, timely rehabilitation treatment.No fracture or dislocation was found in all six patients by spinal cord radiometric examination, and MRI of spinal cord indicated abnormal signals of thoracic cord or below. The recovery sequence of spinal cord function: urination function recovery, pain from lower limbs relief, lower limbs weakness improvement.By the time of follow-up by telephone, the course of disease was 1 to 5 years. Urine fecal incontinence was found in one patient, and his muscle strength of both lower extremities belong to grade Ⅰ, atrophic changes were found in spinal cord MRI.The remaining five patients were able to walk independently, complained of leg pain during long distance walking, mild varus or valgus, and no obvious abnormality in spinal cord MRI.Conclusion:In daily activities, except bend down in dancing, falling on the sacral tail is easy to cause spinal cord injury without fracture and dislocation in children. The damaged spinal cord function often cannot recover thoroughly, and even cannot recover. It is advisable to identify early, formulate comprehensive treatment measures in time, strive to improve the prognosis.

Objective To understand the effect of standardized training teachers for fellowship training and to summarize the experience, in order to provide practical basis for standardized training of fellowship training and teachers training. Methods According to the requirements of standardized training for fellowship in Shanghai, the content of teacher training is drawn up. The training lasts for 4 days and 32 academic hours. After the training, 317 questionnaires were distributed through the form of electronic ques-tionnaire, and 301 questionnaires were recovered, with a recovery rate of 94.95％. Data statistics are in EXCEL (2016), and the data are expressed as percentage. Results Teachers participating in the training believe that fellowship training should pay most attention to the training of clinical operation skills and clin-ical thinking ability. Teachers have a high demand for training related to fellowship training policies, teach-ing ability, training quality control, teachers' professional quality and other aspects. The most popular teach-ing methods are teaching observation and discussion in small classes. 288 teachers (95.69％) thought that the teacher training was very effective or good, and 290 teachers (96.55％) thought that the teacher training would be very helpful or helpful to the future fellowship training and teaching work. Conclusion This teachers training has achieved good results. In the future, stratified and specialized training can be carried out to further improve the pertinence of teachers training. At the same time, we should strengthen the man-agement of the special training process and consolidate the special training quality. We will improve the evaluation methods and test the results.

Human immune system(HIS)mice are usually used to evaluate the ability of tumor vaccines to induce cytotoxic T lymphocyte(CTL)effects, but they failed to accurately reflect the ability of cancer vaccines to induce humoral immune responses. In this study, human peripheral blood mononuclear cells were isolated by density gradient centrifugation and co-transplanted into NCG mice with in vitro differentiated dendritic cells(DCs)to establish a DC-HIS mouse model. In DC-HIS mice, co-transplanted antigen-presenting cells(HLA-DR+CD11c+)could colonize the spleen of model mice. Moreover, co-transplantation of DCs significantly increased the proportion of activated human CD4+ T/CD8+ T cells and B cells in HIS mice, indicating that DC-HIS mice could better mimic the human immune responses. The immunogenicity of the targeted HER2 protein vaccine(NitraTh-HER2)was evaluated using the DCs-HIS mice. The results showed that the NitraTh-HER2 vaccine was able to induce the production of HER2-specific human IgG antibodies with a significant antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity(ADCC)effect and the lysis rate of target cell SK-BR-3 reached 47. 1%. The NitraTh-HER2 vaccine was able to produce antigen-specific CTL effect, and the lysis rate of target cell SK-BR-3 reached 14. 6%. Taken together, the DC-HIS mouse model provides an effective method for predicting the immunogenicity of human tumor vaccines.
