OBJECTIVE:To observe the clinical efficacy and safety of recombinant human endostatin (rh-endostatin) combined with Lobaplatin for injection and irinotecan injection in the treatment of advanced recurrent small cell lung cancer (SCLC). METHODS:A total of 88 patients with advanced recurrent SCLC in our hospital were divided into control group (41 cases) and observation group (47 cases) according to random number table. Control group was given Irinotecan injection+Lobaplatin for injection. Observation group was additionally given Recombinart human endostatin injection 15 mg added into 0.9%Sodium chloride injection 250 mL,ivgtt,qd,for consecutive 14 d,every 14 d. A treatment course lasted for 28 d,and both groups were treated for 2 courses. The clinical efficacy,the levels of serum carcinoembryonic antigen(CEA),the scores physical state (ECOG) and quality of life (QOL) before,after treatment were observed in the two groups,and the survival and adverse reactions of the two groups were compared. RESULTS:The total response rate of observation group was 59.6%,which was higher than 43.9% of control group,but there was no statistical significance (P>0.05). Before treatment, there was no significant difference in serum CEA levels,ECOG scores or QOL scores,between 2 groups(P>0.05);after treatment,the serum CEA levels of the two groups were significantly decreased,and the observation group was significantly lower than the control group,with statistically significant (P<0.05). In observation group,ECOG scores decreased while QOL scores increased significantly,and significantly better than the control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05). The overall survival(OS)of observation group was 16.8 months,which was significantly higher than 11.5 months of control group,with statistical significance (P<0.05). The incidence of leucopenia in observation group was significantly higher than control group;the incidence of leucopenia and abnormal liver function were significantly lower than control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05).

Objective To examine the expression of hypoxia inducible factor-1 α (hypoxia-inducible factor 1α,HIF-1α),tumor cell proliferation antigen Ki67 and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in breast cancer tissues,adjacent tissues and normal breast tissues.Methods Immunohistochemistry HRP method was used to detect the expression of HIF-1α,Ki67 and VEGF in 70 cases of breast cancer tissues and their adjacent tissues and 10 cases of normal breast tissues.Difference of the positive rate was assessed viax2 test,and the correlation between the 3 were analyzed in a disorderly classified manner.Results The positive expression rate of HIF-1α,Ki67 and VEGF in 70 cases of breast cancer tissues was 78.6％ (55/70),88.6％ (62/70) and 65.7％ (46/70) respectively,significantly higher than that in adjacent tissues and normal breast tissues (P ＜ 0.01).The positive expression rate of HIF-1 α,Ki67 and VEGF was closely related with clinical stage,lymph node metastasis and histological grade (P ＜0.05).The expression intensity of HIF-1α was positively correlated with Ki67 and VEGF in breast cancer (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Detection of HIF-1 α,Ki67,VEGF may be an important indicator to predict the development,invasion,metastasis and prognosis of breast cancer.Tissue hypoxia may promote the proliferation of breast cancer cell and angiogenesis.A presumption is that HIF-1αmay be a new t()get of breast cancer,thus it deserves further study.

Objective: To predict the prognosis of cervical cancer, we constructed a novel model with 5 specific cell types and identified a potential biomarker. Methods: We employed CIBERSORT and xCell method to evaluate the abundances of 23 cells types in tumor microenvironment. Five specific cell types were filtrated to determine different immunotypes by applying least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) Cox regression method. The expression of immune checkpoints (ICPs) and effectors were validated by immunohistochemistry. Correlation analysis was performed to examine the relevance between PIK3CA mutational status and ICPs. Results: Unsupervised clustering of patients on the basis of tumor infiltrating lymphocytes and fibroblasts identified patients with shorter overall survival (OS) (hazard ratio [HR]=3.0729; 95% confidence interval [CI]=1.5103–6.2522; p=0.0118). An immunoscore (IS) signature consisting of 5 immune cell types infiltrating in tumor core (CD8T, activated NK cells, neutrophils, activated mast cells, macrophages) was constructed using LASSO Cox regression analysis. Receiver operating characteristic curves confirmed that the area under the curve of IS was significantly higher to that of International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics staging alone (0.637 vs. 0.55). Survival analysis revealed patients in high IS group exhibited a poorer OS (HR=3.0113; 95% CI=1.8746–4.8373; p<0.0001). The multivariate analysis indicated the IS was an independent prognostic factor. In addition, the lower IS related to higher expression of ICPs and neoantigen load. Conclusions The identification of IS in cervical cancer tissues could facilitate patient risk stratification and selection of immunotherapeutic responses, but more prospective studies are needed to assess its reliability.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of arthroscopy combined with sodium hyaluronate and platelet-rich plasma in the treatment of Stoller grade III meniscus injury.Methods:Sixty patients with Stoller grade III meniscus injury who received treatment in The Second People's Hospital of Liaocheng from October 2019 to October 2020 were included in this study. They were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group ( n = 30 per group). Patients in the observation group were treated with arthroscopy combined with sodium hyaluronate and platelet-rich plasma, while patients in the control group were treated with arthroscopy combined with sodium hyaluronate. Before and 1, 3, and 6 months after surgery, the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score, Lysholm score, and The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC) score of the knee joint were compared between the two groups. Results:There were no serious complications in each group. Compared with pre-treatment, the VAS and Lysholm scores of the knee joint in both groups significantly decreased at 1, 3, and 6 months after surgery, while the WOMAC score showed a significant increase ( F = 514.96, 673.19, 96.31, 124.16, 230.99, 531.84, all P < 0.001). After 3 and 6 months of treatment, the VAS score in the observation group was (1.1 ± 0.5) points and (0.8 ± 0.4) points, respectively, which were significantly lower than (2.5 ± 0.7) points and (1.3 ± 0.5) points in the control group ( t = 8.91, 4.28, both P < 0.001). After 3 and 6 months of treatment, the Lysholm score of the knee joint in the observation group was (86.2 ± 9.1) points and (93.8 ± 13.2) points, respectively, which were significantly higher than (79.8 ± 11.3) points and (87.5 ± 9.2) points in the control group ( t = 2.42, 2.14, both P < 0.05). After 3 and 6 months of treatment, the WOMAC score in the observation group was (17.5 ± 3.6) points and (16.5 ± 3.2) points, respectively, which were significantly lower than (25.4 ± 5.2) points and (24.8 ± 6.4) points in the control group ( t = 6.84, 6.35, both P < 0.001). Conclusion:Arthroscopy combined with sodium hyaluronate and platelet-rich plasma is more effective in treating Stoller III grade meniscus injury than arthroscopy combined with sodium hyaluronate. The former therapy can be promoted in the clinic.

【Objective】 To provide reference for formulating preoperative blood preparation plan for malignant osteosarcoma scientifically and rationally under the persistent COVID-19 epidemic by studying the high-risk influencing factors related to intraoperative blood transfusion in patients with primary malignant osteosarcoma. 【Methods】 The general data, preoperative blood routine and coagulation parameter, clinicopathological record and surgical data of 120 patients with primary malignant osteosarcoma in Beijing Jishuitan Hospital from January 2020 to January 2021 were retrospectively analyzed by univariate analysis, multivariate regression analysis and Pearson correlation analysis to determine the high risk factors for intraoperative blood transfusion in patients with primary malignant osteosarcoma. 【Results】 The incidence of intraoperative and postoperative blood transfusion of malignant osteosarcoma patients were 48.33% (58/120) and 62.50% (75/120), with the average blood transfusion units at (1.36±1.14) U and (2.93±2.26) U, respectively. The univariate analysis showed that such factors as sex, preoperative Hct (%), preoperative Plt (×10⁹/L), location of lesion, Huvos classification, incision length (cm), reconstruction length(cm) and intraoperative blood loss (mL) were significantly different (P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that sex, location of lesion, Huvos classification, incision length (cm), reconstruction length(cm) and intraoperative blood loss (mL) were significantly different (P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 For primary malignant osteosarcoma with a high rate of intraoperative blood transfusion, early intervention should be carried out according to the high-risk factors of intraoperative blood transfusion, and preoperative blood preparation plan should be accurately formulated to effectively reduce the rate and units of blood transfusion in patients under the premise of surgery safety.

Background Global warming may increase the frequency of compound hot extreme (CHE).However, there is still a lack of studies assessing the associations between CHE and preterm birth (PTB), and the underlying biological mechanisms remain unclear. Objective To estimate the association of exposure to CHE during pregnancy with PTB, and to explore the roles of inflammatory, endothelial dysfunction, and oxidative stress in the association between CHE and PTB. Methods All participants were selected from the Prenatal Environments and Offspring Health (PEOH), a prospective birth cohort conducted in Guangzhou. In this study, a total of 2449 participants who gave birth from May to October in 2014 to 2017 were enrolled, and among them blood samples were collected from 311 preterm (n=43) and full-term (n=268) pregnant women at the time of delivery. A hot day/night was identified as a day when the daily maximum temperature/minimum temperature was higher than its 90th percentile in the study period, and a CHE was defined as having both a hot night and a following hot day. The meteorological data were obtained from the China Meteorological Data Sharing Service System. Anusplin was used to assess the daily maximum temperature, daily minimum temperature, and relative humidity of the participant residence. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to measure C reactive protein (CRP), endothelin-1 (ET-1), and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels in maternal serum, and their results were transformed by natural logarithm. A distributed lag nonlinear model was used to investigate the associations of exposures to hot day, hot night, and CHE during pregnancy with PTB at different lag days, and a logistic regression model was used to investigate the associations of CRP, ET-1, and MDA with PTB. Results The incidence rate of PTB was 6.2% in all selected participants. Compared with the non-hot day, the RRs (95%CIs) of CHE in lag 3, 7, and 14 days on PTB were 1.43 (1.12-1.84), 1.24 (1.08-1.43), and 1.17 (1.05-1.30), respectively, and the cumulative effects (% difference) (95%CI) of CHE in lag 14 days on maternal serum CRP, ET-1, and MDA were 0.33% (−0.45%-1.12%), 0.59% (0.11%-1.07%), and 0.57% (0.09%-1.05%), respectively. Compared with the Q1 (lowest quartile) for CRP, ET-1 and MDA, the RRs (95%CIs) of Q4 (highest quartile) for PTB were 1.27 (0.50-3.22), 1.51 (0.61-3.72), and 2.07(0.81-5.27), respectively. Conclusion Maternal exposure to CHE during pregnancy might be associated with an increased risk of PTB. Prenatal exposure to CHE is positively associated with maternal serum CRP, ET-1, and MDA, and the three biochemical indicators are also positively associated with PTB. However, the above conclusions still need further confirmation.
