Objective To study the value of PSADT in predicting the prognosis and the possibility of disease progression for patients with prostate cancer after MAB therapy.Methods Based on the retrospective review of the history and the follow-up of 159 prostate cancer patients,who received MAB therapy in our department from January 1994 to December 2010,PSADT values were calculated and survival analysis was performed.The ages at diagnosis ranged from 54 to 90 years with a median of 74 years.The pretreatment PSA value ranged from 2.6 to 275.0 μg/L with a median of 46.8 μg/L.The patients of Gleason score ≤6,7 and ≥8 constituted 27.7％,42.1％ and 25.2％,respectively.Only 26.4％ of the patients were staged as T1N0M0-T2N0M0 and the others had locally advanced disease or metastasis.A multivariate analysis with a Cox's proportional hazard model was used and the disease progression rates in different PSADT groups were also compared.Chi-square test and Log-rank test were applied in statistic analysis.Results The 159 patients received follow-up with a median period of 28 months (6-126 m).The median PSADT of these 159 patients was 5.7 months (0.5-21.0 m).The 3-year and 5-year survival for the 71 patients,whose PSADT were not less than 6 months,were 89.4％ and 47.6％ respectively,compared with 49.8％ and 30.6％ for the other 88 patients whose PSADT were less than 6 months.The survivals were significantly different between the two groups (P ＜ 0.01).It was confirmed by a further multivariate analysis with a Cox' s proportional hazard model that PSADT was one of the predictive factors of the prognosis of these prostate cancer patients with a hazard ratio of 2.6 (P ＜ 0.01).Moreover,disease progression were found in 19.7％ of the PSADT≥6 m group during the follow-up compared with 63.6％ in the PSADT ＜6 m group.The disease progression rates were also significantly different (P ＜ 0.0 l).Conclusions PSADT can be used to predict the prognosis of patients with prostate cancer after the MAB therapy.The survival for the patients,whose PSADT are not less than 6 months,is higher than those whose PSADT less than 6 months.Meanwhile,PSADT can predict the possibility of disease progression after MAB treatment.

Objective To investigate the influence of Guhong injection (GHI) on ATPase activity and inflammatory response after cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury in rats, and evaluate its protective effects on cerebral I/R injury. Methods Seventy-two male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were divided into sham group, I/R group, nimodipine group, and the low-dose (2.5 mL/kg, GHI-L), medium-dose (5.0 mL/kg, GHI-M), and high-dose (10.0 mL/kg, GHI-H) of GHI groups according to the random number table method, with 12 rats in each group. The middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) model was established by the intraluminal suture method to prepare the model of focal cerebral ischemia, and reperfusion was performed after 1.5 hours of occluding the middle cerebral artery; the sham group had the same operation process except inserting the nylon thread. The injection of drug in various drug-treated groups was carried out via a tail vein at 0, 12, 24 hours after the onset of reperfusion, while the sham group and I/R group received the same amount of normal saline. At 12 hours after last drug administration, the scores of neurological deficit symptoms were evaluated; the cerebral infarction was observed by triphenyl tetrazolium chloride (TTC) staining; the Na+-K+-ATPase and Ca2+-ATPase activities in the brain tissue were measured by phosphorus determination; the contents of interleukin-6 (IL-6), monocyte chemotactic factor-1 (MCP-1), nitric oxide (NO) in serum were detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results Compared with the sham group, the neurological function score was significantly decreased, the cerebral infarction was serious, the activities of ATPase was obviously decreased, and the levels of serum inflammatory factors were significantly increased in I/R group. Compared with the I/R group, the neurological function scores were significantly increased in GHI-L group, GHI-M group, GHI-H group and nimodipine group (9.03±0.63, 10.54±2.55, 12.33±1.87, 12.06±1.89 vs. 8.17±1.05, all P < 0.05), the volumes of cerebral infarction were obviously reduced [(18.51±1.80)%, (15.98±1.34)%, (8.61±1.16)%, (8.09±0.96)% vs. (26.52±2.07)%, all P < 0.01], the activities of ATPase were significantly increased [Na+-K+-ATPase (μmol·mg-1·h-1):5.10±0.30, 5.34±0.26, 6.19±0.17, 5.86±0.31 vs. 3.98±0.35, Ca2+-ATPase (μmol·mg-1·h-1): 3.68±0.44, 4.43±0.29, 5.03±0.27, 4.17±0.30 vs. 1.87±0.46, all P < 0.01], and the levels of serum inflammatory factors were decreased obviously [IL-6 (ng/L): 51.61±5.55, 43.88±4.05, 39.71±2.22, 41.28±2.66 vs. 60.11±6.61, MCP-1 (ng/L): 227.82±7.07, 201.58±13.10, 177.23±10.46, 126.80±8.49 vs. 296.01±12.85, NO (μmol/L): 54.48±3.23, 46.84±2.69, 41.15±2.80, 48.62±2.34 vs. 65.25±3.88, all P < 0.05]. Conclusions GHI not only can improve the energy metabolism of brain tissue in a dose-dependent manner, but also inhibit the inflammatory cascade of damage after cerebral I/R in rats, which might be its protective mechanism on cerebral ischemia injury.

Objective:To investigate the application of modified Hanley surgery in abscess of anal tube space (AATS), and its influences on anal function, interleukin (IL)-8 and IL-6.Methods:The clinical data of 96 patients with AATS from February 2020 to February 2022 in Shaoxing Central Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 48 patients were treated with incision-thread drawing procedure (ITDP group), and 48 patients were treated with modified Hanley group (modified Hanley group). The curative effect, anal function, inflammatory factor level, neovascularization factor level and wound healing status were compared between the two groups.Results:There was no significant difference in the recovery rate between modified Hanley group and ITDP group: 100.00% (48/48) vs. 95.83% (46/48), χ2 = 0.51, P>0.05. The poor rate of anal function 2 months after surgery in modified Hanley group was significantly lower than that in ITDP group: 0 vs. 12.50% (6/48), and there was statistical difference ( P<0.05). The tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α), IL-8 and IL-6 24 h after surgery in modified Hanley group were significantly lower than those in ITDP group: (127.11 ± 13.96) ng/L vs. (160.59 ± 11.57) ng/L, (92.20 ± 11.62) ng/L vs. (124.33 ± 12.05) ng/L and (79.38 ± 12.47) ng/L vs. (100.07 ± 12.50) ng/L, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.01). The monocyte chemotactic protein-1 1 week after surgery in modified Hanley group was significantly lower than that in ITDP group: (92.85 ± 14.63) ng/L vs. (122.90 ± 15.59) ng/L, the vascular endothelial growth factor-A and transforming growth factor-β 1 were significantly higher than those in ITDP group: (188.06 ± 22.53) ng/L vs. (137.80 ± 19.52) ng/L and (1 897.6 ± 97.3) ng/L vs. (1 608.6 ± 98.1) ng/L, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.01). The pain score, edema score and neonatal granulation score 7, 14 and 21 d after surgery in modified Hanley were significantly lower than those in ITDP group, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.01). Conclusions:In the treatment of AATS, the modified Hanley surgery not only contributes to the thorough removal of the lesions, but also plays a positive role in protecting the anal function, reducing the level of inflammation, and promoting the recovery of endothelial function.

Objective:To explore the clinical efficacy of small incision floating line drainage for the treatment of high perianal abscess.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 95 patients with high perianal abscess treated at the Medical Community General Hospital of Shaoxing Central Hospital from April 2019 to April 2021. Among them, 47 cases were treated with small incision floating line drainage (experimental group), and 48 cases were treated with conventional multi incision drainage (control group). The surgical time, intraoperative bleeding, postoperative pain, urination status, anal function evaluation, wound healing status and the clinical efficacy of the patient after 2 months of treatment were compared between the two groups.Results:The surgical time, intraoperative bleeding volume in the experimental group were lower than those in the control group: (18.70 ± 0.48) min vs. (38.10 ± 2.52) min, (32.35 ± 3.56) ml vs. (51.56 ± 6.24) ml, there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). The postoperative pain, urination status, anal function evaluation in the experimental group were better than those in the control group. In the experimental group, multiple incision drainage had a greater impact on patients and the wound healing cycle was longer. After treatment for 2 months, the total effective rate in the experimental group was better than that in the control group: 100.00%(47/47) vs. 91.67%(44/48), there was statistical difference ( χ2 = 4.09, P<0.05). Conclusions:Patients with high perianal abscess and treated with small incision floating line drainage has a shorter wound healing cycle, less pain, lower anal damage, and better clinical efficacy.

In order to further strengthen the training and management of clinical teachers, broaden the career development channels of clinical teachers, and truly stimulate their teaching enthusiasm and initiative, this study further classifies clinical teachers according to the principle of the Snell model, focuses on the training of educational clinicians, and explores the training mechanism of teaching talents in line with the actual development needs of hospitals affiliated to universities from the aspects of selection, training, incentive, and assessment. The results of practice show that related practices have a good effect, and the mean number of teaching achievements was 1.98 for the 56 educational physicians, which was 3.9 times that for non-educational physicians. The per capita teaching achievements of educational physicians tended to increase every year compared with those of non-educational physicians. The training path for educational physicians provides useful experience for the construction of clinical teaching team and the high-quality development of education and teaching, and at the same time, it is necessary to further strengthen the dynamic adjustment of talent echelon, the improvement of operating mechanism, and the introduction of new technology.

Objective:To examine the clinical value of rapid detection of drug-resistant bacteria by immunochromatography and the effects of rapid detection on the prognosis of patients with severe intra-abdominal infection complicated by carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) bloodstream infection.Methods:This was a retrospective cohort study. We analyzed clinical data of 73 patients with severe abdominal infections with sepsis or septic shock complicated by CRE bloodstream infection admitted to the general surgery department of Jinling Hospital between February 2022 and February 2023. Patients were divided into a colloidal gold immunochromatographic assay (GICA) group (17 patients) and conventional testing group (56 patients) based on whether a GICA for CRE had been performed on the patients' first blood culture sample during the diagnosis and treatment process. There were no statistically significant differences between the GICA and conventional testing groups in age ([55.9±17.3] vs. [47.6±16.4] years), sex ([16 men vs. one woman ] vs. [41 men vs. 15 women]), median Charlson comorbidity index (3.0[2.0,4.0] vs. 3.0[2.0, 4.8]), septic shock (10 vs. 39), or acute kidney injury (8 vs. 40) (all P>0.05). Both groups routinely underwent traditional bacterial identification and drug susceptibility testing. Additionally, patients in the GICA group were tested directly for positive blood cultures using a GICA carbapenemase test kit. The main outcomes were mortality rates on Days 28 and 90 after the first identification of CRE bloodstream infection in both groups. We also compared the microbial clearance rate, duration of hospitalization and intensive care unit stay, and time from onset of CRE bloodstream infection to initiation of targeted and appropriate antibiotics between the two groups. Results:The rate of microbial clearance of bloodstream infection was significantly greater in the GICA group than in the conventional testing group (15/17 vs. 34/56 [60.7%], χ 2=4.476, P=0.034), whereas the 28-day mortality tended to be lower in the GICA than conventional testing group [5/17 vs. 44.6% [25/56], χ 2=1.250, P=0.264). The 90-day mortality (8/17 vs. 53.6% [30/56], χ 2=0.222, P=0.638), median duration of hospitalization (37.0 [18.0, 46.5] days vs. 45.5 [32.2, 64.8] days, Z=-1.867, P=0.062), and median duration of intensive care unit stay (18.0 [6.5, 35.0] days vs. 32.0 [5.0, 51.8] days, Z=-1.251, P=0.209). The median time between the onset of bloodstream infection and administration of antibiotics was 49.0 (38.0, 69.0) hours in the GICA group, which is significantly shorter than the 163.0 (111.8, 190.0) hours in the conventional testing group ( Z=-5.731, P<0.001). The median time between the onset of bloodstream infection and administration of appropriate antibiotics was 40.0 (34.0, 80.0) hours in the GICA group, which is shorter than in the conventional testing group (68.0 [38.2, 118.8]) hours; however, this difference is not statistically significant ( Z=-1.686, P=0.093). Conclusions:GICA can provide information on carbapenemase- producing pathogens faster than traditional drug sensitivity testing, enabling early administration of the optimal antibiotics. The strategy of 'carbapenemase detection first' for managing bacterial infection has the potential to improve prognosis of patients and reduce mortality rate.

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is characterized by the highest mortality among carcinomas. The pathogenesis of PDAC requires elevated autophagy, inhibition of which using hydroxychloroquine has shown promise. However, current realization is impeded by its suboptimal use and unpredictable toxicity. Attempts to identify novel autophagy-modulating agents from already approved drugs offer a rapid and accessible approach. Here, using a patient-derived organoid model, we performed a comparative analysis of therapeutic responses among various antimalarial/fungal/parasitic/viral agents, through which econazole (ECON), an antifungal compound, emerged as the top candidate. Further testing in cell-line and xenograft models of PDAC validated this activity, which occurred as a direct consequence of dysfunctional autophagy. More specifically, ECON boosted autophagy initiation but blocked lysosome biogenesis. RNA sequencing analysis revealed that this autophagic induction was largely attributed to the altered expression of activation transcription factor 3 (ATF3). Increased nuclear import of ATF3 and its transcriptional repression of inhibitor of differentiation-1 (ID-1) led to inactivation of the AKT/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway, thus giving rise to autophagosome accumulation in PDAC cells. The magnitude of the increase in autophagosomes was sufficient to elicit ER stress-mediated apoptosis. Furthermore, ECON, as an autophagy inhibitor, exhibited synergistic effects with trametinib on PDAC. This study provides direct preclinical and experimental evidence for the therapeutic efficacy of ECON in PDAC treatment and reveals a mechanism whereby ECON inhibits PDAC growth.
