Objective:To identify the signature of tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) subtypes that may affect cytokine expres-sion between different outcomes of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients by analyzing the CD molecular expression profiles of non-cancerous hepatic tissues. Methods:Surface markers of TIL in noncancerous hepatic tissues from 146 HCC patients were determined by using immunohistochemical method and flow cytometry. Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards models and Kaplan-Meier method were used to analyze the association of their expression levels with tumor recurrence and survival. Results:More than 86.4%of TILs in patients were quiescent, as measured via CD4+or Foxp3 expression. Meanwhile, more than 90%of CD3+T cells ex-pressed CD8+. The proportion of T cells was low compared with CD8+T cells. The proportion of CD19 and CD20 in distant nontumor tissues almost was zero. The proportion of T cell subgroups isolated from HCC circulating whole blood did not show a significant shift compared with the normal control, as follows:CD4+T/CD8+T=1.167 ± 1.04, CD8+T/CD3+T=0.288 ± 0.116, and CD4+T/CD3+T=0.429 ± 0.178. The proportion of CD8+T cells in noncancerous hepatic tissues was higher than that in blood (P<0.001).Conclusion:TILs in HCC noncancerous hepatic tissues are increased and contain a subpopulation of CD3+CD8+T cells. CD8+T cells in cancerous tissues, rather than noncancerous tissues, show significant differences between different prognostic groups.

Objective:To investigate the type and severity of skin adverse reactions induced by afatinib in the treatment of lung cancer, and to analyze their correlation with anti-lung cancer efficacy.Methods:A case-case-control study was conducted on lung cancer patients treated with afatinib in ZhongDa Hospital, Southeast University from December 2016 to January 2018. The type and severity of skin adverse reactions were evaluated in 76 patients with lung cancer based on the National Cancer Institute-Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE) Version 4.0, and these patients were divided into 3 groups according to the severity of skin lesions, including grade-0, -1, and -2/3 groups. The patients underwent chest computed tomography (CT) examination every 3 months, and the tumor response to afatinib was evaluated according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) . Anti-lung cancer efficacy of afatinib was compared among the patients with different grades of skin lesions by using the Kruskal-wallis H rank sum test. Results:After treatment with afatinib, 44 of the 76 patients with lung cancer achieved stable condition or partial remission, and 32 experienced disease progression. Skin adverse reactions occurred in 69 patients, and manifested as acneiform lesions in 42 (55.3%) patients, paronychia in 35 (46.1%) , mucosal erosions in 30 (39%) , hair changes in 8 (10.5%) , and hand-foot syndrome in 6 (7.9%) . Improvement was achieved in 3, 7 and 34 cases in the grade-0, -1, and -2/3 groups ( n = 7, 19 and 50 respectively) , respectively. There was a significant difference in the response rate among the 3 groups ( χ2 = 6.117, P = 0.047) , and the response rate was significantly higher in the grade-1 and -2/3 groups than in the grade-0 group (both P < 0.001) , and higher in the grade-2/3 group than in the grade-1 group ( P < 0.001) . Conclusion:The treatment of lung cancer with afatinib can cause various types of skin lesions, such as acneiform lesions, paronychia, mucosal erosions, hair changes and hand-foot syndrome, and the higher the severity of the skin lesions, the more marked the anti-lung cancer efficacy of afatinib.

Objective:To analyze clinical features of coronavirus disease 2019 in patients with autoimmune blistering diseases (AIBDs), and to explore risk factors for the development of severe coronavirus disease 2019 in patients with AIBDs.Methods:Clinical data were collected from patients with AIBDs who were hospitalized in Zhongda Hospital, Southeast University from August 2021 to December 2022, and were retrospectively analyzed. Independent sample t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, or chi-square test (Fisher′s exact test) were used to analyze factors associated with severe coronavirus disease 2019 in AIBD patients. Results:A total of 30 patients with AIBDs accompanied by coronavirus disease 2019 were included, they were aged 62.90 ± 15.72 years, and included 16 males and 14 females; pemphigus vulgaris (12 cases, 40.00%) and bullous pemphigoid (13 cases, 43.33%) predominated in the disease spectrum of AIBDs in these patients. The common clinical manifestations of coronavirus disease 2019 were cough (25 cases, 83.33%), fatigue (22 cases, 73.33%), and fever (15 cases, 50.00%) ; most patients had mild clinical symptoms, while 7 (23.33%) developed into severe coronavirus disease 2019, including 2 out of 14 aged 30 - 59 years and 5 out of 16 elderly patients aged ≥ 60 years, and 2 out of the 5 elderly patients finally died. According to the clinical classification criteria of coronavirus disease 2019, the 30 patients were divided into the mild-to-moderate group (23 cases) and severe group (7 cases) ; the duration of AIBDs was significantly shorter in the severe group (10.71 ± 10.72 months) than in the mild-to-moderate group (27.61 ± 19.67 months, t = 2.16, P = 0.040) ; the remission rate of AIBDs was significantly higher in the mild-to-moderate group (21/23) than in the severe group (4/7, χ2 = 4.36, P = 0.037) ; the average daily dosage of methylprednisolone during the last month was significantly lower in the mild-to-moderate group ( M[ Q1, Q3]: 8 [4, 14] mg) than in the severe group (24 [12, 47] mg, U = 133.50, P = 0.007), and the proportion of patients treated with methylprednisolone at an average dosage of > 8 mg was significantly higher in the severe group (6/7) than in the mild-to-moderate group (8/23, χ2 = 5.59, P = 0.031) . Conclusions:Among the patients with AIBDs accompanied by coronavirus disease 2019, the incidence and mortality of severe coronavirus disease 2019 were higher in elderly patients than in young patients. The short course and no-remission of AIBDs, and the average daily dosage of methylprednisolone being>8 mg/d during the last month were risk factors for the development of severe coronavirus disease 2019 in the patients with AIBDs.

ObjectiveTo assess the level of depression, anxiety and social support among grade three senior high school students under in-school quarantine during the COVID-19 pandemic, so as to provide references for targeted psychological intervention of them. MethodsA total of 724 grade three senior high school students from three key schools in Binzhou City, Shandong Province were selected using random sampling method. Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD-7), Patients' Health Questionnaire Depression Scale-9 item (PHQ-9) and Perceived Social Support Scale (PSSS) were used to survey the psychological status including anxiety, depression and the level of social support. Partial correlation analysis was adopted to discuss the correlation of PSSS score with GAD-7 and PHQ-9 scores, meantime, the multiple linear regression analysis was conducted to explore the relationship between PSSS and PHQ-9 scores. ResultsAmong grade three senior high school students, 341 (48.64%) and 383 (54.64%) were found to have symptoms of anxiety and depression, respectively. PSSS total score as well as the dimension score of family support and other support of female students were higher than those of male students, with statistical significance (t=-3.431, -3.048, -4.482, P<0.01). GAD-7, PSSS total scores and the dimension scores of family support and other support demonstrated statistical differences among grade three senior high school students with different selections of academic subjects for college entrance examination (F=1.992, 2.660, 2.074, 3.138, P<0.05 or 0.01). PHQ-9 score was negatively correlated with the total score and each dimension score of PSSS (r=-0.329, -0.283, -0.284, -0.284, P<0.01). The dimension score of family support and friend support in PSSS could negatively predict the PHQ-9 score (B=-0.213, -0.308, P<0.01). ConclusionGrade three senior high school students under in-school quarantine during the COVID-19 pandemic suffer a high prevalence rate of anxiety and depression, while students with higher perceived social support scores report fewer symptoms of depression. Hence, improving the level of social support may alleviate depression in students.
