Objective To investigate the application of intravascular ultrasonography in guiding the performance of interventional management for coronary true bifurcation lesions. Methods A total of 62 patients with coronary true bifurcation lesions, who were admitted to authors’ hospital during the period from April 2010 to Jan. 2014 to receive double stenting treatment, were included in this study. The patients were randomly divided into intravascular ultrasonography group (IVUS group, n=32) and coronary angiography group(CA group, n=30). The minimal lumen diameter(MLD), the minimal lumen area(MLA), the reference lumen diameter (RLD), the length of the lesion and the diameter and length of the implanted stent were determined, and the results were compared between the two groups. During the follow-up period lasting for 12 months after percutaneous coronary intervention, the incidence of in - stent thrombus, target lesion revascularization (TLR) and major adverse cardiac events were recorded. Results The MLD values of the main artery and branches in IVUS group were higher than those in CA group, but the difference was not significant (P>0.05). The MLA, RLD, the diameter and length of the implanted stent in IVUS group were significantly larger than those in CA group (P<0.05). The incidence of in-stent thrombus, TLR and major adverse cardiac events in IVUS group were lower than those in CA group (P>0.05). Conclusion Intravascular ultrasound- guided double stent implantation for coronary true bifurcation lesions can help optimize the performance of stenting and improve the long-term outcome of percutaneous coronary intervention.

Objective To analyze the efficacy and safety of hypofractionated stereotactic radiotherapy ( FSRT ) combined with temozolomide ( TMZ ) for large brain metastases ( BMs ) in a prospective phaseⅡclinical trial.Methods From 2010 to 2015, a total of 33 patients were enrolled as subjects.The median Karnofsky Performance Status scores before and after treatment were 70 and 80, respectively.The major primary tumor was non-small cell lung cancer (57.6%).The brain metastasis had a diameter of≥3 cm or a volume of ≥6 cm3 .The radiation dose was 52 Gy in 13 fractions or 52.2 Gy in 15 fractions.Patients received TMZ at a dose of 75 mg/m2 per day concurrently.The radiotherapy was followed by 6 cycles of adjuvant treatment with TMZ (150 mg/m2, days 1-5, 28 days per cycle).Patients were reexamined by magnetic resonance imaging ( MRI) during the treatment.The radiation field would be shrunk if the gross target volume ( GTV) was reduced by≥20%.The treatment outcomes were evaluated by MRI at 2-3 months after treatment.Results The total numbers of tumors and GTVs were 95 and 38, respectively. Twenty-four (63%) out of the 38 GTVs had a volume larger than 10 cm3 and the median GTV was 15.3 cm3 (5.7-142.8 cm3).Twenty-two (67%) out of the 33 patients achieved field shrinking during the treatment, and the median reduction rate of GTV was 44%( 21%-88%) .The median total dose was 59.5 Gy, and 100%and 21.2%of patients completed the concurrent and adjuvant treatment with TMZ, respectively.In all patients, the overall response rate was 97.0%;the 1-year local control, intracranial progression-free
survival, and overall survival rates were 97%, 70%, and 62%, respectively;the median survival time was 15.3 months.The main adverse reactions were grade 1-2 nausea and vomiting.One patient got grade 3 liver function impairment.Conclusions FSRT combined with TMZ is a safe and effective approach for treating large BMs.More than 50%of patients can achieve field shrinking to shorten treatment duration and reduce toxicity.Clinical Trial Registry ClinicalTrials.gov,registration number:NCT02654106.

Objective The number of children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD)has increased dramatically in the past years.Parents of children with ASD usually experience a variety of chronic and acute stressors that may decrease marital satisfaction and family functioning.The aim was to explore the characteristics of parental per-sonality,mood disorders and family functions of the Children with ASD and to explore the relevance factors in order to draw out methods to improve parental family functions.Methods A cross -sectional survey was conducted and 593 outpatients with ASD diagnosed in Shanghai Mental Health Center,Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine form January 201 0 to January 201 4 were straight into the group,their parents were tested by Family Assessment Device (FAD),Zung Self -Rating Depression Scale(SDS),Zung Self -Rating Anxiety Scale(SAS)and Eysenck Personality Questionnaire(EPQ).SPSS 1 7.0 software was adopted to establish the database and statistical analysis.Results Ac-cording to FAD,parents of children with ASD had lower scores in problem solving[(2.1 0 ±0.37)scores]and roles [(2.09 ±0.27)scores](t =-6.669,P =0.000;t =-1 8.707,P =0.000)than the standard scores,while other di-mensions score were significantly higher than the standard scores in communicdtion[(2.25 ±0.35)scores],emotional reaction[(2.38 ±0.40)scores],emotional involvement[(2.36 ±0.37)scores],behavioral control[(2.31 ±0.27) scores]and general function[(2.1 2 ±0.38)scores],there were significant differences(t =3.1 35,1 1 .1 1 5,1 6.997, 37.1 1 6,8.064;P =0.002,0.000,0.000,0.000,0.000).For EPQ of parents,mother had obviously higher scores than father in psychoticism scale[(53.68 ±1 .36)scores vs (52.65 ±1 .1 7)scores,t =-1 3.841 ,P =0.000],and signifi-cantly lower scores in Lie scale[(52.27 ±0.79)scores vs (52.1 7 ±0.75)scores,t =2.449,P =0.01 4].Compared to fathers,mothers were coded as higher depression and anxiety scores(t =-6.276,-6.440,all P =0.000)and higher prevalence rate(χ2 =1 5.893,27.592,all P =0.000),which were statistically significant.According to the asso-ciation study of FAD and the others(especially in mood of parents),it was found that several dimensions showed obvious correlation.Conclusions Parents of children with ASD have family function damaged badly,except for prob-lem solving and roles.The parents showed different personality traits and mood disorders,particularly mothers′mood disorder problem was prominent.Parental family functioning were closely related to their personality traits and emotional disorders in various dimensionalities,which was worthy of attention.

Tunicamycin, a potent reversible translocase I inhibitor, is produced by several Actinomycetes species. The tunicamycin structure is highly unusual, and contains an 11-carbon dialdose sugar and an α, β-1″,11'-glycosidic linkage. Here we report the identification of a gene cluster essential for tunicamycin biosynthesis by high-throughput heterologous expression (HHE) strategy combined with a bioassay. Introduction of the genes into heterologous non-producing Streptomyces hosts results in production of tunicamycin by these strains, demonstrating the role of the genes for the biosynthesis of tunicamycins. Gene disruption experiments coupled with bioinformatic analysis revealed that the tunicamycin gene cluster is minimally composed of 12 genes (tunA-tunL). Amongst these is a putative radical SAM enzyme (Tun B) with a potentially unique role in biosynthetic carbon-carbon bond formation. Hence, a seven-step novel pathway is proposed for tunicamycin biosynthesis. Moreover, two gene clusters for the potential biosynthesis of tunicamycin-like antibiotics were also identified in Streptomyces clavuligerus ATCC 27064 and Actinosynnema mirums DSM 43827. These data provide clarification of the novel mechanisms for tunicamycin biosynthesis, and for the generation of new-designer tunicamycin analogs with selective/enhanced bioactivity via combinatorial biosynthesis strategies.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical efficacy and failure patterns of prophylactic cranial irradiation (PCI) in patients with limited-stage small cell lung cancer (LS-SCLC) on the basis of modern chemoradiotherapy and diagnostic techniques.Methods:In this retrospective study, clinical data of 201 LS-SCLC patients treated with chemotherapy (EP/CE regimens, ≥4 cycles) and intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) in Cancer Hospital of Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences from 2006 to 2014 were reviewed. All patients were primarily managed with concurrent or sequential chemoradiotherapy and achieved complete response (CR) or partial response (PR). Ninety percent of patients were revaluated for brain metastasis (BM) by MRI and 10% by CT scan. Long-term survival and failure patterns were compared between the PCI ( n=91) and non-PCI groups ( n=110). Results:The median follow-up time was 77.3 months (95% CI 73.0-81.5 months). The median overall survival (OS), 2-and 5-year OS rates were 58.5 months, 72.5% and 47.7% in the PCI group, and 34.5 months, 61.7% and 35.8% in the non-PCI group ( P=0.075). The median progression-free survival (PFS), 2-and 5-year PFS rate were 22.0 months, 48.0% and 43.4% in the PCI group, significantly higher than 13.9 months, 34.4% and 26.7% in the non-PCI group ( P=0.002). The 2- and 5-year cumulative incidence of BM were 6.6% and 12.2% in the PCI group, and 30.0% , 31.0% in the non-PCI group ( P=0.001). The median time and rate of BM as an isolated first site of relapse were 11.9 months and 4.4% in the PCI group, and 8.7 months and 25.5% in the non-PCI group ( P<0.001). Multivariate analysis showed that response after chemoradiotherapy ( P<0.001) and PCI ( P=0.033) were the independent prognostic factors for PFS. Stratified analysis demonstrated that PCI significantly improved the 5-year PFS in patients who achieved CR (72.7% vs. 48.0%, P=0.013), while it did not improve the 5-year PFS in patients who obtained PR (26.1% vs. 20.2%, P=0.213). Conclusion:In the new era of standard chemoradiotherapy and more accurate diagnostic methods for BM, PCI was associated with improved PFS and lower incidence of BM in LS-SCLC patients.

Objective:To explore the incidence of secondary hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (sHLH) in elderly patients with severe SARS-CoV-2 infection, and to analyze and summarize its clinical features and risk factors for early identification of high-risk groups.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted. From January to May 2020, No. 960 Hospital of People's Liberation Army, the Second Hospital Affiliated to Cheeloo College of Medicine of Shandong Province, the First Rehabilitation Hospital of Shandong Province, the Public Health Clinical Center Affiliated to Shandong University, and Ruijin Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine received 248 patients over 60 years old who were diagnosed with severe SARS-CoV-2 infection during their assistance to Hubei or support for diagnosis and treatment of SARS-CoV-2 infection in Shandong Province. The clinical data of patients were collected. According to the hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis diagnosis scoring (HScore) criteria, the patients were divided into sHLH group (HScore > 169) and non-sHLH group (HScore < 98). The demographic data, clinical features, laboratory results, the proportion of organ failure and 60-day mortality of patients were collected and compared between the two groups. The risk factors of sHLH and 60-day death were evaluated through binary multivariate Logistic regression analysis in elderly patients with severe SARS-CoV-2 infection. The receiver operator characteristic curve (ROC curve) was plotted to analyze the diagnostic value of indicators only or combined for sHLH.Results:Among 248 elderly patients with severe SARS-CoV-2 infection, 82 patients with incomplete data and untraceable clinical outcomes, and 35 patients with HScore of 98-169 were excluded. Finally, 131 patients were enrolled in the final follow-up and statistics, including 25 patients in the sHLH group and 106 patients in the non-sHLH group. Compared with the non-sHLH group, plasma albumin (ALB), hemoglobin (Hb), lymphocyte count (LYM), platelet count (PLT), fibrinogen (Fib) and prealbumin (PAB) in the sHLH group were significantly reduced, while alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), MB isoenzyme of creatine kinase (CK-MB), serum creatinine (SCr), C-reactive protein (CRP), D-dimer, ferritin (Fer), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), procalcitonin (PCT), cardiac troponin I (cTnI), triglycerides (TG), interleukin-6 (IL-6), total bilirubin (TBil) were significantly higher. The fever and fatigue in the sHLH group were more severe than those in the non-sHLH group, and the patients in the sHLH group had higher rates of shock, acute kidney injury, liver dysfunction, and cardiac injury than the non-sHLH group. The 60-day mortality of patient in the sHLH group was significantly higher than that in the non-sHLH group [84.0% (21/25) vs. 40.6% (43/106), P < 0.01]. Binary multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that high Fer [odds ratio ( OR) = 0.997, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) was 0.996-0.998], D-dimer ( OR = 0.960, 95% CI was 0.944-0.977), LDH ( OR = 0.998, 95% CI was 0.997-0.999) and TG ( OR = 0.706, 95% CI was 0.579-0.860) were independent risk factors for sHLH in elderly patients with severe SARS-CoV-2 infection (all P < 0.01), while elevated Fer ( OR = 1.001, 95% CI was 1.001-1.002), LDH ( OR = 1.004, 95% CI was 1.002-1.005) and D-dimer ( OR = 1.036, 95% CI was 1.018-1.055) were independent risk factors for 60-day death of patients (all P < 0.01). The death risk of the sHLH patients was 7.692 times higher than that of the non-sHLH patients ( OR = 7.692, 95% CI was 2.466-23.987, P = 0.000). ROC curve analysis showed that a three-composite-index composed of LDH, D-dimer and TG had good diagnostic value for sHLH in elderly patients with severe SARS-CoV-2 infection [area under the ROC curve (AUC) = 0.920, 95% CI was 0.866-0.973, P = 0.000]. Conclusions:Elderly patients with severe SARS-CoV-2 infection complicated by sHLH tend to be critically ill and have refractory status and worse prognosis. High Fer, LDH, D-dimer and TG are independent risk factors for sHLH, and are highly suggestive of poor outcome. The comprehensive index composed of LDH, D-dimer and TG has good diagnostic value, and can be used as an early screening tool for sHLH in elderly patients with severe SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Hereditary thyroxine protein amyloidosis (ATTRv) is one of the most common forms of systemic and ocular amyloidosis, characterized by autosomal dominant inheritance, incomplete penetrance, and diverse manifestations. ATTRv deposition leads to visual impairment and even irreversible visual loss, which has a negative impact on the quality of life of patients. The diagnostic rate of pathological examination and genetic testing in ATTRv patients is low, and the detection rate of systemic amyloid lesions is low. We need to increase our awareness of this disease and gain a deeper understanding of its systemic manifestations and corresponding examination methods; genetic testing is conducted on the proband's family to investigate the relationship between different gene mutations and eye manifestations. In the future, multidisciplinary consultations can be conducted to jointly diagnose and treat patients with ATTRv eye involvement, conducting large-scale and long-term follow-up studies on the early clinical characteristics, treatment plans, efficacy, possible complications, and early prevention, in order to improve clinical diagnosis rate, reduce misdiagnosis rate, and improve patient prognosis.

Objective To compare the clinical efficacy and toxicity between nedaplatin-and cisplatin-based regimens in patients with unresectable locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) receiving concurrent chemoradiotherapy.Methods From January,2015 to December,2016,patients with unresectable locally advanced NSCLC receiving concurrent chemoradiotherapy were included in this study.Patients received thoracic radiotherapy (RT) combined with nedaplatin-based concurrent chemotherapy were enrolled in the nedaplatin group (n=38).Those treated with thoracic RT combined with cisplatin-based chemotherapy were allocated into the cisplatin group (n=84).The chemotherapy regime consisted of platinumin combination with paclitaxel or etoposide.Platinum combined with pemetrexed was adopted in patients with adenocarcinoma.Overall,the median age was 58 years old.Most of the patients were male (86.1％),77.0％ of them had a history of smoking and 63.9％ of the patients were pathologically diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma.Besides,59.0％ of the patients had Ⅲ B NSCLC.Results In the nedaplatin and cisplatin groups,the overall response rate (ORR) was 79％ and 86％,and the disease control rate was 94％ and 94％.The median follow-up time was 20 months.In the nedaplatin group,the 1-and 2-year PFS was 49％ and 23％,and 67％ and 39％ in the cisplatin group (P=0.160).In the nedaplatin group,the 1-and 2-year OS was 91％ and 72％,and 89％ and 68％ in the cisplatin group (P=0.552).Nine patients (24％) had ≥grade 3 adverse events in the nedaplatin group and 25 patients (30％) in the cisplatin group (P=0.488).No statistical significance was found in radiation-induced esophagitis,bone marrow suppression and gastrointestinal toxicity between two groups.One patient in the nedaplatin group presented with grade 3 radiation-induced pneumonitis and 2 patients died of radiation-induced pneumonitis in the cisplatin group.Conclusions Thoracic radiotherapy combined with nedaplatin-based chemotherapy is a promising option for patients with unresectable locally NSCLC.Compared with the cisplatin-based chemotherapy,nedaplatin-based regime yields equivalent clinical efficacy and less adverse events,especially suitable for the elderly patients with poor tolerance.
