Objective To evaluate the effect of calcipotriol on the proliferation of and cytokine secretion by melanocytes and perilesional CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) from patients with vitiligo.Methods Melanocytes isolated from abdominal skin and CD8+ CTLs from perilesional skin of patients with vitiligo were subjected to successive culture in vitro.After several passages,the melanocytes and CD8+ CTLs were cultured alone or in combination with or without the presence of various concentrations of calcipotriol for 24 to 48 hours.MTS (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-5-(3-carboxymethoxyphenyl)-2-(4-sulfopheny)-2H-tetrazolium,inner salt) method was used to evaluate the proliferative activity of cells,enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay to determine the levels of interleukin (IL)-6,tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and interferon (IFN)-γ in the culture supematant of cells,flow cytometry to detect cell apoptosis.Some co-cultured melanocytes and CTLs were treated with calcipotriol of 10-8 mol/L and anti-IL-6 antibody of various concentrations (0,1,2,2.5,5,10 mg/L) for two days followed by enumeration of cells.The concentrations of 108 and 10-9 mol/L (calcipotriol) were chosen for relevant tests.Results There was a marked apoptosis in MCs after coculture with CD8+ CTLs.The 24-hour treatment with calcipotriol of 104 and 10-9 mol/L had no obvious effect on the proliferation of melanocytes cultured alone (both P > 0.05),but accelerated the proliferation of melanocytes cocultured with CTLs (both P <0.05) as well as that of CD8+ CTLs cultured alone or in combination with melanocytes (all P <0.05).A statistical decrease was observed in IL-6,TNF-α and IFN-γlevels in the supernatant of cocultured melanocytes and CTLs compared with those in the supernatant of melanocytes and CTLs cultured alone,and calcipotriol of 10-9 mol/L intensified the decrease in supernatant IL-6 level (t =2.89,P <0.05),but no statistical changes were noted for the level of TNF-α or IFN-γin the supernatant of the coculture system after treatment with calcipotriol of 104 or 104 mol/L compared with that before treatment (both P > 0.05).In the coculture system pretreated with calcipotriol of 10-8 mol/L,the number of CD8+ CTLs significantly decreased (t =3.15,P <0.05),whereas that of melanocytes significantly increased (t =3.53,P <0.05) after the treatment with anti-IL-6 antibody of 5 mg/L.Conclusions Perilesional CD8+ CTLs have a specific cytotoxic effect on melanocytes,and calcipotriol may inhibit the cytotoxic effect of CD8+ CTLs by suppressing the secretion of IL-6,which may partly explain the therapeutic mechanism of calcipotriol for vitiligo.

Methods A retrospective analysis of 23 high-intermediate-risk B-NHL patients who were admitted to Ruijin Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine from June 2015 to February 2018 was conducted, of which 7 relapsed or refractory (R/R) patients received lenalidomide combined with rituximab (R2) and plus different salvage chemotherapy regimens (DHAP, GDP, ICE) of each 28-day cycle; 5 elderly patients were initially treated with R2 of each 28-day cycle; 11 patients were administered by maintenance monotherapy of lenalidomide of each 28-day cycle, or R2 therapy of 3-month cycle. The primary endpoint was overall response, and the secondary endpoints were progression-free survival (PFS) and safety. Results The median follow-up time was 4.5 months (1-20 months) in the R/R and elderly initial-treated patients. The median time to response in the R/R group was 3 months (2-7 months), of which 3 patients were complete remission (CR), overall response was 3 patients, and the median PFS was 7 months. The median time to response in the elderly initial treatment group was 4 months (2-5 months), 1 of 4 eligible patients was CR and 2 were partial remission (PR), overall response was 3 patients, and the median PFS time had not reached. The median follow-up time in the maintenance treatment group was 15 months (2-32 months), the median PFS time had not reached, and the 1-year PFS rate was 64% (95% CI 36%-92%). The most common grade 3-4 adverse events were leukopenia and thrombocytopenia, each accounting for 35%, and most patients were tolerable. Conclusion Lenalidomide as an immunomodulator is effective and safety for elderly initial treatment, R/R and maintenance treatment patients with high-intermediate-risk B-NHL, and it can prolong their survival.

Objective To observe the effec t and safety of posaconzole in prophylactic antifungal treatment of high-risk patients with hematological malignancies. Methods The effect of posaconzole on prevention of invasive fungal disease (IFD) during chemotherapy in 102 patients with hematological malignancies in Shanghai Ruijin Hospital from February 2014 to April 2017 were analyzed retrospectively. The correlation analysis was carried out by Spearman analysis. Results A total of 102 patients were included, and only 2 (1.96%) patients had IFD. 2 patients died because of development of hematological malignancies. 11 (10.8%) patients had to discontinuation of posaconzole because of sever adverse events. Two patients with IFD and 1 case of undiagnosed IFD had to discontinue posaconzole. The total rate of discontinuation was 13.7 % (14/102). There was no correlation between the time of using pothiazol and the time of hospitalization (rs= -0.02, P= 0.853) and the time of neutrophilic deficiency (rs= 0.167, P= 0.113), but the time of hospitalization was positively correlated with the time of neutrophilic deficiency (rs = 0.448, P=0.000). Conclusion Posaconzole could effectively and safely prevent IFD in patients with hematological malignancies.

Anti-tumor necrosis factor (T N F) - α monoclonal antibody is a first-line treatment for inflammatory bowel disease, and its therapeutic response has attracted more and more attention. Although therapeutic drug monitoring and antidrug antibody monitoring have been widely used in clinic, however, there are no laboratory indicators that can predict the therapeutic response to anti-TNF-α before the drug treatment, so as to provide a guidance of selecting therapeutic drug. Studies have shown that some baseline biomarkers can predict the therapeutic response to anti-TNF-α. This article reviewed the progress of research on biomarkers in predicting efficacy of anti-TNF-α monoclonal antibody in treatment of inflammatory bowel disease.

Objective To investigate the clinical application of three-dimensional intracavitary/free-hand interstitial brachytherapy technique in radical radiotherapy for cervical cancer. Methods A retrospective study was conducted on the clinical data of patients with cervical cancer who underwent radical radiotherapy using CT-guided three-dimensional intracavitary/free-hand interstitial brachytherapy technique in The Affiliated Cancer Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from April 2019 to September 2021. The short-term efficacy and adverse reactions were analyzed, and the independent predictors affecting short-term efficacy were evaluated by logistic risk regression model. Results A total of 182 patients were included, and all patients successfully completed the treatment. Clinical efficacy assessment performed 3 months after treatment revealed an overall response rate of 90.65%; the incidence of grade 3 and 4 adverse reactions in the lower gastrointestinal tract was 4.4% during treatment. After reclassifying stage IIIC patients according to the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) 2009 staging system and including factors affecting the stage, it was found that the tumor volume before brachytherapy was the main factor affecting the clinical efficacy of patients at this stage (P = 0.004). Conclusion As a key method in radical radiotherapy for cervical cancer, three-dimensional intracavitary/free-hand interstitial brachytherapy technique is safe and effective and can be quickly popularized in primary hospitals beyond regional cancer centers for cervical cancer brachytherapy.
