Ferroptosis is a form of programmed cell death characterized by overwhelmed lipid oxidation, and it has emerged as a promising strategy for cancer therapy. Enhanced ferroptosis could overcome the limitations of conventional therapeutic modalities, particularly in difficult-to-treat tumors. In this study, we developed a dual-modality therapy in nanomedicine by combining paclitaxel (PTX) chemotherapy and pyropheophorbide-a (Ppa) phototherapy. Heparin (HP) was grafted with poly(N-(2'-hydroxy) propyl methacrylamide) (pHPMA) using reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer polymerization to form HP-pHPMA (HH), which was utilized to deliver Ppa and PTX, yielding HP-pHPMA-Ppa (HH-Ppa) and HP-pHPMA-PTX (HH-PTX), respectively. The prodrug-based combinational nanomedicine (HH-PP) was formed by co-assembly of HH-PTX and HH-Ppa. It was found that HH-PP treatment significantly disrupted lipid metabolism in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells, induced extensive lipid oxidation, and promoted ferroptosis. In vivo, HH-PP intervention achieved a tumor growth inhibition rate of 86.63% and activated adaptive immunity with an elevated CD8+ cytotoxic T cell infiltration level. This combinational nanomedicine offers a promising platform for co-delivery of multiple therapeutic agents. It exerts a promising anti-tumor effect via enhanced ferroptosis and ferroptosis-induced immune activation by disrupting lipid metabolism in TNBC cancer cells.

ObjectiveTo investigate effect of conducting training of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) early screening skill on improving the ability to early identify ASD of medical staffs in primary care hospitals. MethodsIn September 2021, the training of ASD early screening skills was carried out for medical staffs from 20 primary care hospitals in Chengdu. After training, the training effect was evaluated. The numbers of referrals from primary care hospitals to superior hospitals, confirmed ASD as well as their average diagnostic age of children with ASD before and after training were used as evaluation indicators. ResultsAfter training, the number of children with suspected ASD referred by primary care hospitals was more than that before training [(16.65±11.60) vs. (3.40±2.23), t=5.431, P<0.01], the number of children diagnosed with ASD was more than that before training[(6.85±4.93) vs. (2.45±1.67), t=4.171, P<0.01], and the differences were statistically significant. As for the diagnosed age of ASD children, after training, the average age was lower than that before training [(34.95±11.67) vs. (42.2±14.64), t=-2.553, P=0.019]. ConclusionTraining of ASD early screening skills for medical staffs in primary care hospitals may help to improve their ability to early screening ASD children.

OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the effect of P53 expression on prognosis of patients with double expressor lymphoma(DEL) and the interaction between the expression of MYC, BCL2 and P53 in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma(DLBCL).
METHODS:
Eighty-eight patients with newly diagnosed DLBCL from 1st September 2012 to 31th May 2018 in Shanxi Dayi Hospital affiliated to Shanxi Medical University were selected. The expressions of MYC、BCL2、P53、CD10、BCL6、MUM and Ki-67 were tested by immunohistochemistry method. The overall survival of patients was analyzed by the Kaplan-Meier method and compared by the log-rank test. The prognostic effect of MYC, BCL2 and P53 expression was analyzed by univariate and multivariate analysis.
RESULTS:
Compared with patients without P53 expression, the patients with P53 expression had higher LDH level, higher NCCN-IPI scores, lower response to chemotherapy,poorer overall survival(OS) and a higher rate of death(P<0.05). In patients who had diffuse large B-cell lymphoma associated with MYC, BCL2 expression or MYC/BCL2 double expression, compared with the patients whom without P53 expression, P53 expression associated with a significant worse OS (P<0.05). The patients with concurrent MYC and P53 expression had a worse OS, compared with patients with either P53 or MYC expression(P<0.05). In patients with MYC/P53 co-expression, BCL2 expression did not correlate with poorer survival significantly(P>0.05). Among lymphoma patients with MYC/P53, MYC/BCL2 and BCL2/P53 co-expression, the patients with MYC/P53 co-expression had the worse OS (3 year OS rate:31.6%), followed by the subgroup of patients with MYC/BCL2/P53(3 year OS rate:46.2%), patients with MYC/BCL2/P53 expression(3 year OS rate: 636%) showed a longer OS compared with the other two subgroups(P<0.05). Multivariate analysis demonstrated that P53 expression and NCCN-IPI were independent prognostic factors in this patient cohort.
CONCLUSION
P53 and MYC expressions have a synergistically negative prognostic effect in DLBCL patients. P53 expression augments the negative prognostic effect of MYC/BCL2 double expression. Patients with MYC/P53 co-expression have a worse prognosis in comparison with the patients with MYC/BCL2 double expression.

Objective:
To analyze the clinical manifestation, imaging characteristics and prevention of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) after intravenous bisphosphonate (BP) for cancer patients with bone metastases.
Methods:
The clinical data and radiographic findings of 6 primary breast cancer patients with bone metastases diagnosed as MRONJ from January 2014 to April 2018 in Shanxi Dayi Hospital were retrospectively analyzed.
Results:
All 6 patients were female, with the median age of 65.5 years old. All patients had no history of systemic application of hormone therapy, no history of diabetes, no history of radiation therapy, no history of metastasis of the jaw, and no history of infection. The average usage time of BP was 28 months. MRONJ occurred in 2 cases on maxilla and 4 cases on mandible. There were 2 patients with tooth extractions history in BP treatment. Clinical symptoms included maxillofacial pain, loosened teeth, fistula suppuration, and exposed sequestrum. Radiographic findings included osteolysis and bone sclerosis or the mixed manifestation of both, with or without periosteal reaction. In addition, nonhealing tooth sockets and sequestrum separation imaging were also included.
Conclusions
Tooth extraction is considered as an increased risk for MRONJ in patients with malignant bone metastases after BP therapy. MRONJ is more likely to appear in the mandible, but it can also appear in the maxilla. Early screening and initiation of appropriate dental care are necessary for the patients before using BP therapy.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the distribution of pathogenic bacteria and drug resistance analysis in patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(AECOPD), so as to guide clinical medication. METHODS: A retrospective study was conducted in Shanxi Dayi Hospital. Totally 1173 cases of AECOPD patients, hospitalized with infection from September 2013 to August 2018, were included. Then relevant laboratory data was collected, including sputum culture, drug sensitivity test, and some commonly used laboratory results. The data was analyzed. RESULTS: A total of 231 strains were isolated in 1173 AECOPD patients,the mian pathogenic bacteria were Gram-negative bacteria(115, 49.7%), fungi(66, 28.6%), Gram-positive bacteria(48, 20.8%),other bacteria(2, 0.9%). Drug-resistant strains of producing ESBLs mainly included Acinetobacter(88.9%), Escherichia coli(87.5%),Pseudomonas aeruginosa(70.6%) and Klebsiella pneumoniae(19.4%). The drug-resistance of Acinetobacter to carbapenems and quinolones was more than 70%. The drug-resistance of Escherichia coli to quinolones was 87.5%. The drug-resistance of Streptococcus pneumoniae to penicillin and first and second generation cephalosporins was 66.7%. The drug-resistance of Staphylococcus to penicillin and first and second generation cephalosporins, quinolones and methicillin was 92.3%, 76.9% and 46.2%, respectively. In all Gram-positive bacteria, drug-resistant strains for Vancomycin and linezolid can't be found. The positive rate of bacteria in the group of PaO_2≤60 mmHg(37.3%) was higher than that in the group of PaO_2> 60 mmHg(8.8%). The detection rate of bacteria in the WBC≥10×10~9/L group(18.7%), NLR≥7.3 group(19.7%)and PCT>0.5 ng/mL group(50.7%),which in turn was higher than that in the WBC<10×10~9/L group(12.7%), NLR<7.3 group(12.0%) and PCT≤0.5 ng/mL group(23.9%). The detection rate of bacteria in the Neu%≤75% group, Neu%(76%~90%) group and Neu%>90% group was 10.6%, 16.9% and 30.1%, respectively. The results of trend chi-square test showed that the detection rate of bacteria increased with the decrease of PaO_2 and the increase of WBC, Neu%, NLR and PCT. CONCLUSION: The distribution and drug resistance of pathogenic bacteria in sputum culture of AECOPD are serious, and the distribution of pathogens in AECOPD patients with different levels of PaO_2, WBC, Neu%, NLR and PCT was different. Therefore, we should pay more attention to sputum culture and some commonly used laboratory results in AECOPD patients, so as to provide the basis for the clinical medication.
