Objective To investigate the dynamic change and its clinical significance of serum thymidine kinase 1 (STK1) in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) when undergoing 4 cycles of chemotherapy. Methods We detected STK1 levels of 59 patients with NSCLC throughout 4 cycles of chemotherapy using Enhanced Chemiluminescence Western Blot and analyze its relationship with chemotherapy responses . Results STK1 levels with different chemotherapy regimens had no significant difference. STKK1 levels in patients with effective response were significantly lower after 4 cycles of chemotherapy. STK1 levels in patients with effective response were significantly lower than those in non-responders throughout 4 cycles of chemotherapy. The positive rates of STK1 in those with effective response were lower than those in non-responders after the last two cycles of chemotherapy. STK1 levels between lung squamous carcinoma and lung adenocarcinoma had no significant difference. Conclusion The detection of the changes of serum TK1 in patients with NSCLC undergoing chemotherapy is useful in evaluating the effect of chemotherapy and the later therapeutic schedule.

In the past few decades, some studies reported that changing the specific surface properties of titanium implants, such as surface morphology, surface chemistry, surface charge and wettability, improved the bone bonding ability of titanium implants. Based on the existing evidence, this review paper analyzes the methods and characteristics of surface chemical modification of the superhydrophilic implants (Thommen INICELL?) that were listed in China in recent years, and clarifies the process of early osseointegration from the viewpoint of histomorphology, and evaluates its clinical application effects.

Objective To analyze the protective effect of esmolol combined with early goal-directed therapy on myocardial function in patients with severe sepsis. Methods The clinical data of patients with severe sepsis who were treated in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed. According to the principles of randomization, balance and control, 30 cases receiving esmolol combined with early goal-directed therapy were selected as the observation group. The other 30 cases who were given early goal-directed therapy during the same period were selected as the control group. The effects of the two treatment regimens on the levels of hemodynamic indices, cTnT, BNP, TNF-a, IL-1β, Lac, central venous oxygen saturation(ScvO2) and other indices were compared, and 28-day survival rate was statistically analyzed. Results After treatment, Ea/Aa in the observation group was increased significantly, and HRwas decreased significantly. Only HRwas decreased significantly in the control group. There was no statistically significant difference within groups and between the two groups in other hemodynamic indices (P＞0. 05); the levels of cTnT, BNP, TNF-a, and IL-1β in both groups were significantly decreased and the observation group was lower than the control group. The differences within groups and between groups were statistically significant; the serum Lac was decreased and ScvO2 was increased in both groups. The serum Lac in the observation group was lower than that in the control group, and ScvO2 was higher than that in the control group. There were statistically significant differences within groups and between groups (P＜0. 05); the survival rate in the observation group was slightly higher than that in the control group, but the difference was not statistically significant(χ2=0. 480, P=0. 488). Conclusion Esmolol combined with early goal-directed therapy may benefit myocardial protection in patients with severe sepsis.

Objective:To study the clinical effect of early loading restoration a superhydrophilic implant after 1 year, so as to provide reference evidence for clinical practice.Methods:A total of 41 patients with dental defects, including 20 males and 21 females [age (52.3±13.1) years old], were enrolled in the Department of VIP, Hangzhou Dental Hospital (Pinghai Hospital) from July 2017 to January 2019. A total of 74 superhydrophilic implants were implanted, including 27 maxillary implants and 47 mandiolar implants. All patients without bone augmentation or soft tissue transplantation, the maxilla was taken impression 4 weeks after implant implantation, with 6 weeks of loading, the mandible was taken impression 2 weeks after implant implantation, with 4 weeks of loading. The stability of the implant was measured by resonance frequency analyzer before implant implantation, impression and loading. Periapical radiograph were taken immediately after mold removal, immediately after loading and reexamination 1 year after loading, to measure and record the changes in the bone level of the mesial and distal margins of the implant.Results:No biological complications occurred in all implants before loading restoration, and the implant survival rate was 100%(74/74). In 2 cases, the implant stability quotient (ISQ) value of the implant at the mandibular site was lower than 65 at 2 weeks after surgery, and the restoration was delayed. The ISQ values of the other 72 implants at the time of implantation (75.22±4.32) were not significantly different from those at the time of modeling (75.13±4.23) ( P>0.05), but the ISQ values at the moment of weight loading (76.46±3.73) were significantly higher than those at modeling ( P<0.05). All the early loading implants were reviewed 1 year after early loading, and none of them were loose or fell off, and the implant survival rate was 100%(72/72). X-ray measurement and evaluation showed that after 1 year of early loading restoration, the mean marginal bone absorption of 72 implants was (0.18±0.06) mm, among which the mandibular was (0.17±0.06) mm and the maxillary was (0.19±0.06) mm, showing no statistical difference ( P>0.05). After 1 year of early loading restoration, the mean marginal bone absorption of 72 implants was (0.17±0.05) mm, including (0.17±0.06) mm for mandibular and (0.16±0.05) mm for maxillary, showing no statistical difference ( P>0.05). Conclusions:In the limited scope of this clinical study, it has been proved that early loading of superhydrophilic implant is a safe and feasible treatment scheme, and the bone resorption at the implant edge after long-term early loading restoration needs further follow-up study.

Objective:To summarize the clinical characteristics of central nerve system (CNS) infection and grasp the necessity and possibility of early diagnosis and precise intervention of CNS infection after renal transplantation.Methods:This retrospective study enrolled consecutive recipients of renal transplantation with CNS infection after transplant between January 2000 and December 2020. Correlative factors for CNS infection after renal transplant were determined by comparing the clinical data between recipients with and without CNS infection. After screening 3, 199 consecutive renal transplant recipients, 12 patients with CNS infection post-transplant were identified and recruited. The median age-of-onset was 48.5 (23-65) years. And the median time to disease onset after transplant was 50.5(1-204) months. The most common symptoms of CNS infection after renal transplant included fever (75.00%), consciousness disorder (58.33%), headache (58.33%) and neck rigidity (41.67%).Results:Hepatitis B virus carrier and pulmonary infection were correlated with CNS infection after transplantation ( P<0.05). Nine patients failed to identify the pathogen and only received empirical anti-infective regimen. The outcomes were curing ( n=3) and death ( n=6). Metagenomic sequencing was performed for identifying the pathogen in three recipients and actively adjusting the anti-infective regimen. As a result, 2 were cured and 1 died. The overall mortality was 58.33%. The median time to death or curing from disease onset were 20(2-19) and 25(16-35) days respectively in surviving and non-surviving recipients. Conclusions:The progress of CNS infection after transplantation is rapid with a high mortality. HBV carrier and pulmonary infection are possible risk factors of CNS infection after renal transplantation. Early pathogenic identification and precise etiological intervention are vital for better clinical outcomes.

Objective:To evaluate the prognostic value of sepsis-induced coagulopathy (SIC) in patients with sepsis.Methods:From January 2019 to December 2021, patients with sepsis admitted to the Intensive Care Unit of our hospital were retrospectively classified into the SIC group and non-SIC group according to SIC diagnostic criteria. The baseline clinical data, severity score, total length of hospital stay, length of ICU stay and 28-day survival were compared between the two groups. Kaplan-Meier was used to compare the 28-day survival of patients with sepsis between the two groups. Cox proportional hazard regression model was employed to analyze the risk factors of prognosis in patients with sepsis.Results:Totally 274 patients with sepsis were included in the analysis, including 139 patients in the SIC group and 135 patients in the non-SIC group. The two groups were compared in the perspectives of the Platelet count (PLT), prothrombin time (PT) , procalcitonin (PCT), D dimer, hematocrit, red blood cell distribution width, hemoglobin, acute kidney injury (AKI), the use of continuous renal replacement treatment (CRRT), the use of vasoactive drugs, sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score, acute physiology and chronic health evaluation (APACHEⅡ) score were compared between the two groups and the difference were statistically different (all P<0.05). Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that the 28-day mortality rate in the SIC group was significantly higher than that in the non-SIC group (32.4% vs. 14.1%, P<0.05). COX proportional hazard model showed that SIC score ( HR= 2.17, 95% CI: 1.15-3.91, P<0.05), APACHEⅡ score ( HR= 1.13, 95% CI: 1.09-1.17, P<0.05) and the use of vasoactive drugs ( HR=3.66, 95% CI: 1.53-8.75, P<0.05) were independent influencing factors for 28-day death in patients with sepsis. Conclusions:Patients with sepsis and SIC have more severe disease and increased mortality risk. SIC score exhibits good clinical value in predicting the prognosis of patients with sepsis.
