Objective To evaluate the value of postmastectomy radiotherapy (PMRT) in locally advanced breast cancer patients treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy (neoCT) and modified radical mastectomy, and to investigate the possibility of individualized radiotherapy according to the response to neoCT.Methods We analyzed 523 patients with stage ⅢA and ⅢB breast cancer who received neoCT and modified radical mastectomy in our hospital from 1999 to 2013.Of all patients, 404 received PMRT, and 119 did not.The locoregional recurrence (LRR), disease-free survival (DFS), and overall survival (OS) rates were calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method, survival difference analysis and univariate prognostic analysis were performed using the log-rank test, and multivariate prognostic analysis was performed using the Cox regression model.Results Compared with those not treated with PMRT, the patients treated with PMRT had a significantly lower 5-year LRR rate (13.9% vs.24.8%, P=0.013), a significantly higher DFS rate (64.1% vs.53.9%, P=0.048), and an insignificantly higher OS rate (83.2% vs.78.2%, P=0.389).In the patients with ypT3-T4, ypN2-N3, or pathologic stage Ⅲ disease, those treated with PMRT had a significantly reduced 5-year LRR rate (P<0.05) and a significantly increased 5-year OS rate (P<0.05), as compared with those not treated with PMRT.Among the 158 patients with ypN0 disease, the 5-year LRR rate was significantly lower in those treated with PMRT than in those not treated with PMRT (P=0.004).Of 41 patients who achieved a pathologic complete response, 2 patients, who did not receive PMRT, developed LRR.The multivariate prognostic analysis indicated that PMRT was an independent prognostic factor associated with reduced LRR in all patients and ypN0 patients.Conclusions In patients with stage ⅢA and ⅢB breast cancer treated with neoCT and modified radical mastectomy, PMRT can significantly reduce LRR for all patients and can reduce both recurrence and mortality for those with ypT3-T4, ypN2-N3, or pathologic stage Ⅲ disease.There is no sufficient evidence that PMRT can be omitted safely for ypN0 or pCR patients according to their response to neoCT.

Medical curriculum integration is of great significance for reforming traditional medical education models and cultivating new medical talents with competency. On the basis of reviewing the concepts and development history of medical curriculum integration in China, this article sorts out three relatively mature medical curriculum integration models based on the practice of medical education reform in China, namely, organ-system-based curriculum model, and problem-based curriculum model and modular curriculum integration model. It also points out the difficulties of the current curriculum integration reform in medical colleges and universities from the aspects of the construction of teaching staff, the construction of integrated curriculum teaching materials, the design and connection of curriculum, and the assessment and evaluation. Finally, we should deeply analyze the concept of curriculum integration and create a curriculum model suitable for the reality of China's medical education in practice, hoping to provide reference for the practice of medical curriculum integration reform in China.

Objective:
To evaluate efficacy of the BiRd regimen, a combination of clarithromycin, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone, in the treatment of patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) .
Methods:
Patients with RRMM treated with BiRd between September 11, 2013 and August 1, 2016 at six centers were included to evaluate overall survival rate (ORR) , clinical benefit rate (CBR) , progression-free survival (PFS) , overall survival (OS) , as well as adverse events.
Results:
Of 30 patients with RRMM, 27 patients were evaluable, and ORR and CBR were 51.9% (14/27) and 66.7% (18/27) respectively, including 1 sCR (3.7%) , 3 CR (11.1%) , 3 VGPR (11.1%) , and 7 PR (25.6%) . In 13 patients with prior Rd, ORR and CBR were 38.5% (5/13) and 61.5% (8/13) respectively, of which 5 patients with ≥MR carried high-risk cytogenetic[ (e.g.17p- or t (4;14) ] together with at least one of other adverse-prognostic cytogenetic (e.g.13q- and/or 1q21+) . In 24 patients with prior bortezomib-based therapy, ORR and CBR were 45.8 and 62.5%, respectively. With a median follow-up time of 14.9 (range 1.0-33.8) months, the median PFS and OS were 12.0 (95%

PURPOSE: Asthma affects approximately 30 million patients in China; however, tiotropium data for Chinese patients is limited. This study aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of tiotropium in Chinese patients with moderate symptomatic asthma. METHODS: A post hoc subgroup analysis was conducted on 430 Chinese patients pooled from two 24-week, replicate phase 3 trials (NCT01172808 and NCT01172821), in which they received once-daily tiotropium 2.5 µg (Tio R2.5) or 5 µg (Tio R5) (n = 106 or 109, respectively), twice-daily salmeterol 50 µg (Sal 50) (n = 110), or placebo (n = 105), while maintaining inhaled corticosteroids (ICS). The co-primary endpoints assessed in week 24 were forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) peak0–3h response, trough FEV1 response, and responder rate as assessed using the Asthma Control Questionnaire (ACQ). RESULTS: For both FEV1 peak0–3h responses and trough FEV1 responses, the mean treatment differences were greater for Tio R2.5, Tio R5, and Sal 50 compared with placebo at 0.249 L, 0.234 L, and 0.284 L, and 0.172 L, 0.180 L, and 0.164 L, respectively (P< 0.001). The ACQ responder rate in placebo, Tio R2.5, Tio R5, and Sal 50 was 58.7%, 62.3%, 59.3%, and 69.1%, respectively. Furthermore, 11 (2.6%) of 430 patients had serious adverse events (Tio R5, n = 4; Tio R2.5, n = 1; Sal 50, n = 1; and placebo, n = 5). CONCLUSIONS: Once-daily tiotropium, as add-on to medium-dose ICS, was effective and well tolerated for Chinese patients with moderate symptomatic asthma, consistent with the main analysis.

Objective:To explore the method of repairing huge bone and soft tissue defects in clavicle area after en bloc resection of primary malignant tumor of clavicle and the effect of shoulder joint function.Methods:Data of 3 patients with primary malignant tumors of clavicle who underwent en bloc resection (total or subtotal clavicle resection) and individualized repair of bone and soft tissue defects in clavicular region from January 2018 to December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. All patients were female aged 45, 57 and 14 years old, respectively. Tumor types were osteosarcoma, solitary plasmacytoma and pleomorphic undifferentiated sarcoma. Postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy, shoulder rehabilitation training were performed. Oncological assessment and shoulder joint activity assessment were regularly performed. Musculoskeletal Tumor Society score (MSTS), Constant-Murley scoring and University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) scoring system were used for functional assessment of shoulder joint.Results:All 3 cases were followed up with follow-up period of 33, 23 and 8 months respectively. No tumor recurrence or metastasis was detected at the last follow up. After tumor resection, one patient with osteosarcoma and one patient with pleomorphic undifferentiated sarcoma underwent reconstruction with clavicular plate and ligament advanced reinforcement system (LARS) ligament. One patient with solitary plasmacytoma underwent LARS ligament reconstruction only after tumor resection. At the latest follow-up, MSTS scores were 28, 30 and 28, Constant-Murley scores were 80, 90 and 84, and UCLA scores were 29, 33 and 30, respectively. No complications occurred during perioperative and postoperative follow-up period.Conclusion:Reconstruction of clavicle and surrounding important ligaments after en bloc resection of primary clavicle malignant tumor is of great significance to the recovery of postoperative shoulder joint function. Satisfactory stability and good shoulder joint function could be obtained after reconstruction of clavicle and sternoclavicular joint.

BACKGROUND:Steroid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head is a refractory disease in the field of orthopedics.There is no definitive idea to fully explain its pathogenesis.With the increased research on the active ingredients of Panax notoginseng interfering with the signaling pathways related to various diseases,the active ingredients of Panax notoginseng that treat steroid-induced necrosis of the femoral head via the regulation of relevant signaling pathways have gradually become a hot research topic. OBJECTIVE:To systematically summarize the literature on the pathological mechanism of steroid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head and the regulation of signaling pathways by the active ingredients of Panax notoginseng in recent years,thereby providing a reference for the follow-up study on the active ingredients of Panax notoginseng in the treatment of this disease. METHODS:CNKI,WanFang,and PubMed were searched for relevant literature with the key words of"glucocorticoid,steroid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head,pathological mechanism,signaling pathway,Panax notoginseng,active ingredient"in Chinese and English.Documents related to the pathological mechanism of steroid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head as well as related to the intervention of active ingredients of Panax notoginseng on the signaling pathway of steroid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head were retrieved.A total of 63 documents were finally included according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The main ingredients of Panax notoginseng include Panax notoginseng saponins,ginsenoside,Panax notoginseng saponins,quercetin,kaempferol,etc.Panax notoginseng saponins,ginsenoside Rb1 and quercetin can promote bone repair and angiogenesis by acting on the transforming growth factor-β/bone morphogenetic protein pathway.Panax notoginseng saponins,ginsenoside CK and kaempferol can promote osteogenic differentiation and lipid metabolism by acting on the Wnt/β-catenin pathway.Panax notoginseng saponins and Panax notoginseng saponins R1/R2 act on the MAPK pathway to inhibit osteoclastogenesis and promote bone repair.Panax notoginseng saponins,ginsenoside Rb2 and quercetin can inhibit osteoclast proliferation and promote osteoblastic differentiation by acting on the RANKL/RANK/OPG pathway.Panax notoginseng saponins,quercetin and kaempferol can repair vascular injury and promote osteogenesis by acting on the hypoxia-inducible factor-1α pathway.Panax notoginseng saponins R1,quercetin combined with hydroxyapatite nanoparticles,Panax notoginseng saponins combined with polyethylene-L-lactic acid and other biomaterials have good research prospects in the treatment of steroid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head.The active ingredients of Panax notoginseng can regulate the signaling pathways related to steroid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head through various mechanisms,and play an active intervention role in the disease.However,the depth and breadth of relevant research are insufficient at present,and the future research should be based on the existing mechanism to explore the specific mechanism of Panax notoginseng regulating different pathways and the interaction between pathways,which will be beneficial to the multi-development of the active ingredients of Panax notoginseng in the treatment of steroid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head.
