Objective To evaluate the impact of chemotherapy compliance on the therapeutic efficacy of induction chemotherapy plus concurrent chemoradiotherapy versus induction chemotherapy plus radiotherapy alone for patients with locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). Methods Based on intention to treat analysis (ITT) for 400 patients, 314 patients were analyzed by per protocol (PP) analysis. The patients were divided into induction chemotherapy plus concurrent chemoradiotherapy group (IC/CCRT, 127 patients) or induction chemotherapy plus radiotherapy group (IC/RT, 187 patients). The patients who completed 2 cycles of induction chemotherapy and at least 2 cycles of concurrent chemotherapy in the IC/CCRT group and the patients who completed 2 cycles of induction chemotherapy in the IC/RT group were analyzed. Radiotherapy was given by two-dimensional technique with γ-ray, X-ray and electron beams. The chemotherapy regimen was FUDR plus carboplatin for induction chemotherapy and carboplatin alone for concurrent chemotherapy. Results The follow-up rate was 96.2%. 295 patients were followed to at 3 years. Based on PP analysis, Grade 3/4 toxicity was found in 23.6% of the patients in IC/CCRT group and 13.4% in the IC/RT group (χ~2 =5,50,P=0.019). No grade 4 toxicity was found in the IC/RT group. The median follow-up time was 3.9 years, and no significant difference was found between the two groups in 3-year overall survival (78.1% : 84.6% ;χ~2 = 0. 61, P =0. 435), disease-free survival (74.3 % : 70.1% ;χ~2= 0. 12, P= 0.731), Iocoregional relapse-free survival (89.7% : 89.5% ; χ~2= 0. 10, P= 0.748), or distant metastasis-free survival (78.9%:76.5% ;χ~2=0.05,P=0.825). Conclusions With more severe toxicities, the IC/CCRT regimen does not improve the overall survival in locally advanced NPC patients compared with the IC/RT regimen.

Objective:To investigate the expression of platelet receptor CD62P in septic rats and the anti-inflammatory effect of ticagrelor and its protective effect on myocardial injury in septic rats.Methods:Thirty-two male SD rats were randomly(random number) divided into 4 groups: sham group, cecal ligation and puncture group(CLP), low dose group: the dose of 10 mg/kg, high dose group: the dose was 50 mg/kg, 8 rats in each group. The rats in the sham operation group were only treated with abdominal switch and cecum stripping, and the rats in the sepsis group, the low dose group and the high dose group were treated with CLP method to establish the sepsis model. The rats in the ticagrelor administration group were treated with ticagrelor at a dose of 10 mg/kg and 50mg/kg by gavage, respectively. The sham operation group and the sepsis group were treated with normal saline (1 mL/kg) by gavage. The rats were administrated twice by gavage 12 hours before and 12 hours after surgery. Blood samples were collected from the abdominal aorta 24 hours after modeling and then pathological specimens were collected. The expression of platelet surface receptor CD62P was detected by flow cytometry. The levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The levels of myocardial injury markers including CKMB and LDH were detected. The levels of transaminase, creatinine and white blood cell were detected. HE staining was used to observe the pathological morphology of myocardial tissue. Cardiomyocyte apoptosis was observed by TUNEL assay.Results:① Compared with sham group, the expression of CD62P in CLP group significantly increased ( P<0.01). Compared with the CLP group, the expression levels of CD62P in the two treatment groups significantly decreased, and the HD group was more significant ( P <0.01).②ELISA results showed that compared with sham group, the level of IL-6 in CLP group was significantly increased ( P<0.05). Compared with the CLP group, the HD group significantly decreased ( P< 0.05). There was no significant decrease in IL-6 level in the LD group. The level of TNF-α in CLP group was significantly higher than that in sham group ( P< 0.01). ③ Compared with sham group, the expression levels of CKMB and LDH in CLP group and two ticagrelor intervention groups significantly increased ( P <0.01). Compared with the CLP group, CKMB and LDH in the treatment group significantly decreased ( P <0.05), and the HD group decreased more significantly ( P<0.01). ④ Compared with sham group, WBC, ALT, CR values in CLP group significantly increased, while after the intervention with ticagrelor, WBC, ALT, CR values in rats significantly decreased ( P <0.05), and the difference significantly related to the dose. ⑤ The pathological results showed that the morphology of myocardial cells in sham group was normal. The CLP group most myocardial cell injury. LD and HD group the CLP group obviously reduce myocardial cell injury.⑥ Tunel staining showed that compared with a small number of positive cells in Sham group, a large number of positive cells were stained in CLP group. The apoptosis of myocardial cells in LD and HD groups significantly reduced compared with CLP group. Conclusions:Sepsis activates platelets and stimulates the overexpression of CD62P, which induces excessive activation of inflammatory response, induces apoptosis and damage of cardiomyocytes, and leads to septic myocardial injury. The cardioprotective effect of ticagrelor may be related to the inhibition of the reduction of CD62p expression after platelet activation, and the expression level of CD62p has a dose-dependent relationship with ticagrelor.

Objective To explore the therapeutic effect of pedicled nasal septum mucosal flap on high-flow cerebrospinal fluid leakage in transsphenoidal approach. Methods The clinical data of 31 patients with high-flow cerebrospinal fluid leakage during neuroendoscope transsphenoidal approach from January 2012 to April 2018 were analyzed retrospectively. Among them, skull base of 18 patients was reconstructed with pedicled nasal septum mucosal flap technique (observation group), and skull base of 13 patients was reconstructed with the'sandwich'method (control group). The postoperative cerebrospinal fluid leakage and complications were compared between 2 groups. Results Postoperative cerebrospinal fluid leakage occurred in 6 cases in control group, and 1 case in observation group, and there was statistical difference between 2 groups (P<0.05). Postoperative olfactory loss occurred in 2 cases in control group, and 3 cases in observation group, and there was no statistical difference between 2 groups (P>0.05). Conclusions Multilayer skull base reconstruction with pedicled nasal septum mucosal flap can significantly reduce the incidence of cerebrospinal fluid leakage after transsphenoidal tumor resection, and is a safe and reliable method to treat the high flow cerebrospinal fluid leakage in operation.

Objective:
To evaluate the prognostic value of kinetic changes in minimal residual disease (MRD) status, as well as its relationship with risk stratification, therapeutic response and treatment in patients with newly-diagnosed multiple myeloma (MM) .
Methods:
A total of 135 patients with newly-diagnosed MM were screened, and 105 patients who achieved VGPR or more as the best responses were included into this study. The MRD status was determined by multiparameter flow cytometry (MFC) at multiple intervals after two cycles of treatment until clinical relapse, death, or last follow-up. The statistical methods included Kaplan-Meier analysis, Cox regression, etc.
Results:
①In all 135 patients, 57.8% (78/135) patients achieved MRD negativity (MRD-) after treatment. In 105 patients who achieved VGPR and thus included in this study, the MRD- rate was 72.4% (76/105) , with a median interval of 3 months from starting treatment to achievement of MRD- status. ②The 2-year PFS rate of patients with MRD- status was significantly higher than that of MRD+ status (62.2%

With the extensive applications of nuclear energy in the military, scientific research, and medical fields, radiological medicine has developed into a significant discipline. So far, studies of radiology have been conducted mostly using cell and animal models, both of which have limitations. Organoids, as 3D in vitro culture systems derived from tissue stem cells, have filled the gap left by these conventional models. They have been widely applied in review, disease research, drug development, and cancer modeling since their structures, functions, and genetic characteristics are akin to those of primary tissues. This review presents the applications of organoid models of various organ types in radiotherapy, as well as the limitations and prospects of organoids.

Objective:To improve the prognosis stratification, especially early mortality(EM), of elderly patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma(NDMM).Methods:In this retrospective study, univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis were conducted to identify the independent prognostic factors associated with overall survival(OS)and the chi-square test and multivariate Logistic analysis were used to identify the prognostic factors associated with EM in 223 elderly patients(age≥65 years)with NDMM from three centers in the country.Results:Increased NT-pro-BNP(≥300 pg/ml), ECOG-PS≥2 and stage Ⅲ R-ISS were identified as three independent adverse prognostic factors of OS.The rates of EM3, EM6, EM12 and EM24 were 12.1%, 20.1%, 32.2% and 60%, respectively.The most common cause for EM6(particularly EM3)was disease-related complications resulting from ineligibility for treatment due to poor physical performance, severe organ dysfunction or treatment discontinuation due to treatment intolerance, while the most common cause for EM12(particularly EM24)was disease progression or relapse mainly as a result of inadequate treatment.R-ISS staging failed to predict EM, while decreased eGFR, ECOG-PS≥2, and increased NT-pro-BNP were able to estimate the risk of EM, with increased NT-pro-BNP as a common independent factor for EM12( P=0.03)and EM24( P=0.015). Conclusions:R-ISS staging, which primarily reflects MM biology, cannot predict EM.However, factors such as NT-pro-BNP, eGFR and ECOG-PS associated with frailty and impairment of organ functions can be used to estimate the risk of EM, among which NT-pro-BNP may be the most important independent factor for EM.Therefore, incorporation of these frailty-related biomarkers into R-ISS staging may be able to more precisely estimate the prognosis and particularly early death of elderly patients with NDMM.

OBJECTIVETo observe the clinical efficacy differences between acupuncture combined with 40-min penetration moxibustion and 60-min penetration moxibustion at back-points for insomnia of insufficiency of heart and spleen type.
METHODSSixty patients of insomnia with insufficiency of heart and spleen type were randomly assigned into a 40-min group and a 60-min group. The two groups were treated with acupuncture at Jueyinshu (BL 14), Xinshu (BL 15), Geshu (BL 17), Pishu (BL 20), Shendao (GV 11) and Zhiyang (GV 9). With moxibustion box, the penetration moxibustion was applied at the back until sweating and redness on the back. The moxibustion was given for 40 min in the 40-min group and 60 min in the 60-min group. The treatment was given once a day, five days per week. Each session was consisted of 5 treatments, with an interval of 2 days between session and totally 4 consecutive weeks were provided. The Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI), TCM symptom scale were observed and recorded before and after treatment in the two groups. The even temperature at raising period, effective period, reducing period, as well as minimum high temperature, comfortable temperature, minimum cold temperature and medication status were compared; also the effect was compared between the two groups.
RESULTSThe total effective rate was 96.6% (28/29) in the 60-min group, which was higher than 89.3% (25/28) in the 40-min group (<0.05). Compared before treatment, the total score of PSQI and sleep quality, sleep time, sleep efficiency, sleep disorder, daytime dysfunction as well as the total TCM symptom score and its drowsiress in the morning, palpitation, amnesia, appetite were reduced after treatment in the 40-min group (all<0.05). After treatment, the total score and each score of PSQI as well as total score and each score of TCM symptom scale were reduced after treatment in the 60-min group (all<0.05). After treatment, the total score and each score of PSQI as well as total score and each score of TCM symptom scale were significantly different between the two groups (all<0.05).
CONCLUSIONSAcupuncture combined with penetration moxibustion can improve the symptomsof insomnia with insufficiency of heart and spleen type, which is more significant in the 60-min group, indicating prolonged time of penetration moxibustion can improve sleep latency.
