Objective:To analyze the clinical efficacy of epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) in patients with advanced NSCLC.Methods:We collected 23 cases of NSCLC advanced patients, who were treated in the affiliated Cancer Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University from January 2015 to March 2020. And these 23 cases of patients with first-generation EGFR-TKIs resistance were treated with the third-generation EGFR-TKI drugs. We analyzed their clinicopathological characteristics, studied their therapeutic effects, and followed up their progression-free survival (PFS).Results:It is showed that 16 of 23 cases (69.56%) were got local progression and 7 of 23 cases (31.43%) were found with systemic progression. Briefly, the median PFS of the 23 patients was 17.5 months. A total of 7 cases occurred rashes after taking EGFR-TKI, and 3 cases got abnormal liver function. Fortunately, they were all improved after symptomatic treatments. Additionally, no bone marrow suppression (granulocytes, neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, anemia) and digestive tract reactions (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea) were occurred in 23 cases of NSCLC patients. The mental and physical improvement of EGFR-TKI in the third generation of 19 patients was more obvious than that in the first generation of EGFR-TKI. Among them, 15 cases showed more obvious lesion shrinkage after third-generation EGFR-TKI treatment. 4 patients with GGO had cleaner disappearance than that of the first-generation EGFR-TKI.Conclusions:Compared with traditional chemotherapy, the first-generation EGFR-TKI resistance treatment with three-generation EGFR-TKI treatment has better efficacy with reduced toxic and side effects, and significantly improved the life quality of advanced NSCLC patients.

Objective The purpose of this study was to investigate the bacterial communities of biting midges and ticks collected from three sites in the Poyang Lake area,namely,Qunlu Practice Base,Peach Blossom Garden,and Huangtong Animal Husbandry,and whether vectors carry any bacterial pathogens that may cause diseases to humans,to provide scientific basis for prospective pathogen discovery and disease prevention and control. Methods Using a metataxonomics approach in concert with full-length 16S rRNA gene sequencing and operational phylogenetic unit(OPU)analysis,we characterized the species-level microbial community structure of two important vector species,biting midges and ticks,including 33 arthropod samples comprising 3,885 individuals,collected around Poyang Lake. Results A total of 662 OPUs were classified in biting midges,including 195 known species and 373 potentially new species,and 618 OPUs were classified in ticks,including 217 known species and 326 potentially new species.Surprisingly,OPUs with potentially pathogenicity were detected in both arthropod vectors,with 66 known species of biting midges reported to carry potential pathogens,including Asaia lannensis and Rickettsia bellii,compared to 50 in ticks,such as Acinetobacter lwoffii and Staphylococcus sciuri.We found that Proteobacteria was the most dominant group in both midges and ticks.Furthermore,the outcomes demonstrated that the microbiota of midges and ticks tend to be governed by a few highly abundant bacteria.Pantoea sp7 was predominant in biting midges,while Coxiella sp1 was enriched in ticks.Meanwhile,Coxiella spp.,which may be essential for the survival of Haemaphysalis longicornis Neumann,were detected in all tick samples.The identification of dominant species and pathogens of biting midges and ticks in this study serves to broaden our knowledge associated to microbes of arthropod vectors. Conclusion Biting midges and ticks carry large numbers of known and potentially novel bacteria,and carry a wide range of potentially pathogenic bacteria,which may pose a risk of infection to humans and animals.The microbial communities of midges and ticks tend to be dominated by a few highly abundant bacteria.
