Objective:To investigate the expression and clinical significance of cell division cycle 42 (Cdc42) and WASP family verprolin-homologous protein l (WAVE1) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods:The expression of Cdc42 and WAVE1 was detected in 106 paraffin-embedded NSCLC tissues and 46 adjacent normal lung tissues (control group) using immunohistochemis-try. Results:The expression levels of Cdc42 and WAVE1 was distinctly higher in NSCLC than in the control group. The expression of Cdc42 in NSCLC significantly correlated with tumor differentiation, TNM stage, and lymph node metastasis (P<0.05). The expression of WAVE1 in NSCLC was significantly correlated with TNM stage and lymph node metastasis (P<0.05 or P<0.01). The expression of Cdc42 was significantly correlated with WAVE1 in NSCLC (r=0.469, P<0.01). The 3-year survival rates were significantly lower in the group with high Cdc42 expression (44.16%) than in the low expression group (72.41%;P<0.01). Similarly, the 3-year survival rates were significantly lower among patients with high WAVE1 expression (39.44%) than in those with low expression (77.14%;P<0.01). Lymph node metastasis and the common high Cdc42 and WAVE1 expression were independent prognostic factors for NSCLC. Conclu-sion:The Cdc42 expression is correlated with WAVE1 expression. They may act together and have an important function in NSCLC. The expression of both Cdc42 and WAVE1 in NSCLC tissue may be used as markers for assessing the clinicopathologic features and prognosis.

Objective:To observe the efficacy of Dabigatran etexilate anticoagulation therapy and analyze its influencing factors in elderly patients.Methods:The clinical data of the elderly patients using Dabigatran etexilate anticoagulation for prevention or treatment of thrombosis in the Department of Geriatrics, Peking University First Hospital were collected.Changes of coagulation indexes and its influencing factors were analyzed when taking Dabigatran in different doses.Results:A total of 142 patients receiving Dabigatran therapy were collected, with an average age of(79.0±7.5)years.Among them, 128 patients had atrial fibrillation and 14 had deep venous thrombosis and/or pulmonary embolism.After taking Dabigatran, the trough values of activated partial thromboplastin time(APTT)and thrombin time(TT)were increased significantly in all patients compared with that before administration( P<0.001). In patients taking Dabigatran 110 mg once a day, APTT was(32.4±3.0)s before administration, with a trough value of(41.4±5.4)s and a peak value of(53.9±9.8)s.In patients taking Dabigatran 110 mg twice a day, APTT was(31.0±3.1)s before administration, with a trough value of(42.4±5.5)s and a peak value of(48.7±7.3)s.Compared with patients taking Dabigatran 220 mg/d, those who took Dabigatran 110 mg/d were older( P<0.0001), often women( P<0.0001), had lower body weight( P=0.001), body mass index( P=0.018)and creatinine clearance rate( P<0.001), and higher basal( P=0.008)and peak values( P=0.002)of APTT, but with similar trough values.Multivariate analysis showed that the APTT trough values were significantly related with APTT basal value( β=0.885, P<0.001), creatinine clearance rate( β=-0.121, P<0.001), dosage of Dabigatran( β=0.037, P<0.001)and combined amiodarone( β=3.784, P=0.022). Conclusions:There are individual differences in the anticoagulant effect of Dabigatran etexilate.The APTT trough value is higher in patients with high APTT basal value, high Dabigatran dose, low creatinine clearance rate and combined use of amiodarone.Dabigatran 110 mg/d was often used in women, elderly patients, and those with low body weight, and decreased renal function, and with a similar trough value and a high peak value of APTT compared with patients on Dabigatran 220 mg/d.

Objective:To investigate acute adverse events and pregnancy outcome after vaccination of inactivated COVID-19 vaccine in the first trimester of pregnancy.Methods:The retrospective-prospective cohort study was conducted among pregnant women of 11-13 +6 weeks of gestation who visited the obstetric clinics for prenatal check in Lianyungang Maternal and Child Health Hospital from May to November in 2021, after registration for perinatal health cards in the community. Those who met the inclusion criteria were recruited and were divided into vaccination group and non-vaccination group according to whether they received inactivated COVID-19 vaccine in the first trimester. Women in the vaccination group were further divided into 1-dose group and 2-dose group. Information, including pregnancy-related screening, pregnancy complications, pregnancy outcome and acute adverse events, were collected and compared with independent samples t-test or ANOVA, Kruskal- Wallis H test or Mann-Whitney U test, χ2 test or Fisher's exact probability method. Results:Totally, 105 pregnant women were analyzed in 1-dose group, 90 in 2-dose group, and 194 in non-vaccination group. (1) There were no statistically significant differences in the occurrence of acute adverse events [1-dose group: 2.86% (3/105); 2-dose group: 6.67% (6/90); non-vaccination group: 4.63% (9/194); χ2=1.59; vaccination group was 4.61% (9/195), when compared with non-vaccination group, χ2=0.00], abnormal pregnancy-related screening indicators and abnormal pregnancy outcome among the three groups (all P>0.05), neither between the vaccination and non-vaccination group (all P>0.05). The acute adverse events in these women included fever, pain at the inoculation site, fatigue, local induration and rash.(2) The differences in hypertensive disorders in pregnancy among the three groups were statistically significant [1-dose group: 10.5%(11/105); 2-dose group: 17.8%(16/90); non-vaccination group: 7.7%(15/194); χ2=6.46, P=0.040], and the incidence was higher in the 2-dose group than that in the non-vaccination group (adjusted by Bonferroni, P<0.017). (3) Regarding other pregnancy complications, no difference was found among the three groups (all P>0.05), neither between the vaccination and non-vaccination group (all P>0.05). Conclusion:The risk of acute adverse events and adverse pregnancy outcome is similar in pregnant women who received inactivated COVID-19 vaccine versus those who did not in the first trimester, and regular blood pressure monitoring is recommended for those who received two doses of inactivated COVID-19 vaccine.
