Objective To evaluate the efficacy and toxicity of hyperthermia combined with chemoradiotherapy for local advanced cervical cancer. Methods Sixty-eight patients with local advanced cervical cancer were treated. Each patient was given cisplatin at the dose of 20 mg ivgtt dl -2 and 5 -fluorouracil 0.75 ivgtt dl -2, repeating every week, total 3 weeks. Thirty -eight patients received chemoradiotherapy alone. Thirty patients received hyperthermia with deeply focus technology, the temperature was increased and maintained 42.5 ℃ for 30 min at least, within 2 hours following irridiation. Hyperthermia was given twice per week with 7 or 12 sessions, as the same chemoradiation methods as the reference group.After 40 Gy therapy to estimate by cervical examination and ultrasonography, the patients with down stage were for operation, and the others continued to irridiation and additional brachytherapy with californium 252until radical dose. Results All patients were tolerated, fifteen patients of hyperthermia combined group were operated and ten patients of the reference group were operated, the difference was significance (50.0 % vs.26.3 %, P <0.05). The response rate of the combined group was 90.0 %, and the reference group was 84.2 %.The incidence of radiotherapy toxicity of the combined group was not higher than the reference group.Conclusion Hyperthermia combined with chemoradiotherapy can elevate the resection rate and the local control rate, not increase the radiotherapy toxicity and increase quality of life for cervical cancer patients.

Objective To assess the effect of sodium nitroprusside (SNP)-induced hypotension on gastric intramucosal pH (pHi), gastric intramucosal PCO2 ( PgCO2 ) and the difference between PgCO2 and PaCO2 (PgCO2-PaCO2) .Methods Fifteen ASA I patients (11 male, 4 female) aged 22-43 yr8, weighing 51-68 kg undergoing laminectomy for decompression of spinal cord in prone position were enrolled in this study. The patients were intubated and mechanically ventilated with 100% O2 after induction of general anesthesia. Anesthesia was maintained with isoflurane (1.2-1.4%) . Radial artery was cannulated for BP monitoring and boood sampling. TRIP tonometry catheter 14 F was inserted into stomach and connected to Tonocap ( Datex-Ohmeda, Finland) . Controlled hypotension was induced with SNP infusion at 1-5 ?g kg-1 min-1 . MAP was reduced to (60 ?5) mm Hg in 5-7 min and maintained for 60 min. Blood samples were taken before induced hypotension (T, ) , at 30 min (T2 ) and 60 min of hypotension (T3) and 30 min after hypotension (T4) for blood gas analysis. pHi, PgCO2 -PaCO2 and PETCO2 were also determined.Results MAP decreased by 35% and 33% at T2 and T3 as compared with the baseline (T, ) . pHi decreased significantly and PgCO2, PgCO2-PaCO2 increased significantly at T, as compared with those at T( ( P 0.05). pH at T2 ,T3 and T4 and BE at T3 and T4 were significantly lower than the baseline value (T1).

Objective To evaluate the accuracy of high-aensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) in the prediction of perioperative cardiovascular accidents (CVAS) in patients with diabetes mellitus. Methods Ninetyone type 2 diabetic patients undergoing elective non-cardiac surgery were divided into 3 groups according to their blood concentrations of hs-CRP: low-concentration group ＜ 1.0 mg/L ( group Ⅰ , n = 9); median-concentration group 1.0-2.9 mg/L (group Ⅱ ,n= 16) and high-concentration group 3.0-10.0 mg/L (group Ⅲ ,n =66). Risk factors for perioperative CVA were analyzed using Spearman rank correlation analysis. Various risk factors including sex, age, ASA physical status, BMI, NYHA claasification, smoking history ,preoperative ECG changes, duration,treatment and complications of diabetes mellitus, hypertension and blood lipids were correlated with perioperative CVA. The risk factors of which P values were less than 0.05 would enter the binary logistic regression analysis to stratify CVA-related risk factors. Area under the ROC curve was used to analyze the accuracy of the risk factors in prediction of perioperative CVA. Results The incidences of perioperative CVAs were 0, 31% and 35 % in Ⅰ ,Ⅱ and Ⅲ groups respectively. It was determined by Spearman rank correlation analysis that preoperative ECG,NYHA classification, age, preoperative cardiovascular color doppler ultrasound, blood hs-CRP concentration and ASA classification of physical status were important risk factors ( P ＜ 0.05 or 0.01 ). Binary logistic regression .malysis indicated that preoperative ECG, NYHA classification and age were highly related to perioperative CVA (P ＜0.05 or 0.01).The area under ROC curve of preoperative ECG, NYHA classification, age and blood hsCRP concentration was 0.855, 0.755, 0.702 and 0.605 respectively. Conclusion The accuracy of blood concentration of hs-CRP in prediction of perioperative CVA in patients with diabetes mellitus is lower than that of the preoperative ECG, NYHA classification or age.

Objective: To analyze the epidemiological characteristics and related factors of obesity in children aged 3-6 years old in Hebei Province, and to provide a reference for childhood obesity prevention and control strategies. Methods: A total of 6 034 children aged 3-6 years were randomly selected from 11 cities in Hebei Province for physical examination and questionnaire survey. Results: The prevalence of obesity in 3-6 year old boys and girls in Hebei Province were 23.00% and 17.48 %, which differed significantly ( χ 2=28.51, P <0.01); The prevalence of obesity was higher in rural areas and children with ethnic minorities ( 20.06 %, 21.68%) than that of urban are and Han children (19.97%, 20.09%), with no significant differences ( χ 2= 0.01 , 0.78, P ＞0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis revealed that boys( OR =1.45), birth weight no less than 4 000 g ( OR =2.80), high fat food consumption at least 3 times a week （OR =1.64), carbonated drinks consumption at least 3 times a week ( OR =4.71), insufficient fruits and vegetables consumption ( OR =1.22), physical activities less than 2 hours per day ( OR =1.82), maternal obesity ( OR =2.0), and lack of physical exercise of fathers ( OR =1.95) were significantly associated with higher risk for obesity among young children in Hebei Province ( P <0.01). Conclusion The prevalence of obesity among children aged 3-6 years in Hebei Province is at a high level at present. Many factors contribute to this epidemic such as genetics, poor diet and living habits. Promotion of healthy eating and lifestyle, as well as dissemination of reliable knowledge about childhood obesity are greatly needed.

Objective To report the clinical features, myopathological changes, and gene mutations in five Chinese patients with mitochondrial diseases caused by POLG gene mutations. Methods Clinical materials of five unrelated patients who were referred to Department of Neurology, Peking University First Hospital from April 2012 to January 2018, carrying POLG gene mutations, were retrospectively analyzed. Muscle/nerve biopsies and targeted second-generation gene sequencing were performed on the patients. Results Among the five patients, three were male and two were female. Two cases were dominant inheritance and three were sporadic or recessive inheritance. The ages of onset were from 15 to 40 years with disease course of one to 26 years. One of them showed atypical SANDO (sensory ataxic neuropathy, dysarthria, and ophthalmoparesis) syndrome accompanied by cardiac preexcitation syndrome. There were two cases with autosomal dominant and one case with recessive progressive external ophthalmoplegia plus syndrome. One case presented with cognitive delay and sensory neuropathy. The pathological changes of mitochondrial myopathy were observed in all four patients with muscle involvement. Sural nerve biopsy in the patient with cognitive delay and sensory ataxia revealed chronic axonal pathological changes. POLG gene mutations were found in all five patients by targeted next generation sequencing, including single heterozygous mutations in two dominant inherited patients (c. 914 G＞A and c. 2864A＞G, respectively), and compound heterozygous POLG gene mutations in the other three sporadic/recessive inherited patients (c. 2591 A＞G/c. 1790 G＞A, c. 924G＞T/c. 3002delG and c. 1613A＞T/c. 1612 G＞T, respectively). There were six novel mutations not reported before, i.e., c.914G＞A(p.S305N), c.924G＞T(p.Q308H), c.1613A＞T(p.E538V), c.1612G＞T(p.E538*), c.1790 G＞A(p.R597Q) and c.3002delG. Conclusions POLG gene mutations can lead to different clinical spectrums. Progressive external ophthalmoplegia, limb weakness and axonal sensory neuropathy are common presentations in this group of patients with POLG gene related mitochondrial neuromuscular diseases. Novel mutations found in this study expand the mutational spectrum of POLG gene.

Objective:To establish a prediction model of postoperative 1-year mortality risk in elderly patients undergoing hip fracture surgery and verify its efficacy.Methods:Patients of both sexes, aged ≥65 yr, of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅰ-Ⅳ, who underwent an operation for traumatic hip fracture in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University from January 2017 to December 2018, were enrolled and randomly assigned to model group and verification group in a ratio of 3∶1.The demographic characteristics, clinical data and results such as laboratory examinations were collected.In model group, the logistic regression analysis was used to recognize the independent risk factors for 1-year mortality after procedure, and the prediction model was established.In verification group, the prediction efficacy was analyzed using the receiver operating characteristic curve, and the degree of fitting was evaluated by Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test.Results:Multivariate logistic analysis indicated that age ≥84 yr, Charlson comorbidity index ≥2 points, Braden score on admission to hospital ≤16 points, preoperative urea nitrogen ≥8.8 mmol/L and postoperative albumin ≤ 29.6 g/L were the independent risk factors for 1-year mortality after hip fracture surgery in elderly patients ( P<0.05). The prediction model was established based on the risk factors mentioned above.The area under receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.870, and the sensitivity and specificity were 82.8% and 80.0%, respectively.The prediction model showed good fitting ( χ2=4.672, P=0.700). Conclusion:Age ≥84 yr, Charlson comorbidity index ≥2 points, Braden score on admission to hospital≤16 points, preoperative urea nitrogen ≥8.8 mmol/L and postoperative albumin ≤ 29.6 g/L are the independent risk factors for 1-year mortality after hip fracture surgery in elderly patients, and the prediction model established based on the above indicators has good efficacy.

Objective:To study the clinicopathological characteristics, treatment and prognosis in lupus nephritis (LN) patients with renal thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA), so as to provide more theoretical basis for clinicians to recognize and treat this disease.Methods:The clinical data of LN patients who underwent renal biopsy in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 1, 2012 to May 31, 2019 were retrospectively collected and analyzed. According to renal clinicopathological examination, the patients were divided into renal TMA group and non-renal TMA group. The clinical data, laboratory examination, renal pathological examination, therapeutic measures and prognostic between the two groups were compared. Follow-up end points were defined as composite ends, including all-cause death, entry into end-stage renal disease, and estimated glomerular filtration rate decrease>50% of baseline. Kaplan-Meier survival curve and log-rank test were used to compare the difference of survival rate between the two groups, and multivariate Cox regression equation was used to analyze the risk factors of endpoint events in LN patients.Results:A total of 1 133 patients with LN were enrolled in this study. Patients with renal TMA were more likely to have hypertension ( χ2=16.310, P<0.001), higher baseline serum creatinine ( Z=-6.918, P<0.001) and 24-hour urine protein ( Z=-2.232, P=0.026), and higher renal pathology activity index (AI) score ( Z=1.957, P=0.001)and chronic index (CI) score ( Z=1.836, P=0.002). The proportions of hormone shock ( P<0.001) and plasma exchange ( P<0.001) in the renal TMA group were higher than those in non-renal TMA group. After treatment of (12±2) months, patients in the renal TMA group had a lower complete response rate ( χ2=10.455, P=0.001) and a higher non-response rate ( χ2=6.047, P=0.014) than those in non-renal TMA group, and were associated with worse prognosis (Log-rank test χ2=26.490, P<0.001). Renal TMA was an independent risk factor for poor prognosis ( HR=2.347, 95% CI 1.210-4.553, P=0.012). Conclusions:Compared with LN patients without renal TMA, LN patients with renal TMA are more likely to have hypertension, with higher serum creatinine, 24-hour urinary protein, AI and CI, suggesting poorer treatment response and renal prognosis. Moreover, renal TMA is an independent risk factor for poor prognosis in patients with LN.

Objective To determine the risk factors for postoperative hyperactive-type delirium (PHTD) in elderly patients undergoing orthopedic surgery.Methods A total of 7 171 elderly patients of both sexes,aged more than or equal to 65 yr,of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅰ-Ⅳ,who underwent orthopedic surgery from January 2008 to December 2012 in Second Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University,were retrospectively analyzed.Data such as gender,age,preoperative electrolytes,blood glucose,hemoglobin,albumin,senile dementia and use of benzodiazepines,type of operation,anesthesia methods,operation time,intraoperative use of anticholinergic agents and benzodiazepines and hypotension (decrease more than 20％ of the baseline),and postoperative electrolyte,hemoglobin,albumin and hypotension were collected.The patients were divided into postoperative PHTD group (group PHTD) and postoperative non-PHTD group (group non-PHTD) according to whether PHTD developed within 7 days after operation.The risk factors of which P values were less than 0.05 would enter the multivariate logistic regression to stratify the risk factors for postoperative PHTD.Results Ninety-nine patients developed PHTD,and the incidence was 1.38％.The results of logistic regression analysis showed that age more than or equal to 80 yr,hip surgery and preoperative anemia were independent risk factors for postoperative PHTD (P＜0.05).Conclusion Age more than or equal to 80 yr,hip surgery and preoperative anemia are independent risk factors for postoperative PHTD in elderly patients undergoing orthopedic surgery.

Objective:To study the time consumption of clinical trial projects in each link of contract signing in medical institutions and its influencing factors, to provide a reference for further optimizing the clinical trial management process and improving the efficiency of contract signing.Methods:All of the review records of projects that signed clinical trial contracts at Peking Union Medical College Hospital from January 1st, 2018 to December 31st, 2021 were retrospectively analyzed by comparing the time consumption in each link before signing the contracts and the frequency of contract reviews. Multiple linear regressions were applied to multivariate analyze the influence of different factors on contract signing.Results:A total of 761 clinical trial contracts signed at Peking Union Medical College Hospital from 2018 to 2021 were included in this study, and the average time consumption of contract signing was 127.0 days, among which the consumption of contract review by the hospital was 10.5 days and by sponsors was 99.0 days. The time consumption of contract signing has been decreasing in recent 4 years, from 154.0 days in 2018 to 104.0 days in 2021. The phase of clinical trials, category of sponsors, frequency of contract reviews, and different policies of the institutions were the main influencing factors for contract signing time ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Clinical trial institutions should optimize the contract approval progress, provide agreement templates and targeted service, and strengthen propaganda and information system construction, to improve the efficiency of reviewing and signing clinical trial contracts.
