Objective To investigate the influence of different prompt measures on the quality of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) chest compressions in the standardized training of residents in Chinese medicine hospitals. Methods There were 84 participants who were the first year standardized training residents recruited from Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Chinese medicine during July to August 2016, and eleven of them were excluded because of incomplete chest compression data collected from the feedback system. Finally, 73 participants being volunteers were enrolled. They were divided randomly into phone metronome group (n = 16), music metronome group (n = 15), depth display group (n = 22), and blank control group (n = 20). In phone metronome group, a mobile phone metronome was applied in the duration of CPR, with a frequency of 110 beats per minute, beat 2/4; in the music metronome group, it was accompanied by the music Staying Alive during the compression period, with frequency of 107 beats per minute, beat 4/4; in depth display group, a model electronic displayer was used in the duration of the compressions to feedback the real time compression depth and its rebound situation in CPR; there was no any intervention measure in blank control group. Each participant performed 5 cycles of CPR on a manikin. A chest compression feedback device was placed on the pressing point, on which the participants places the hand for CPR. The chest compression fraction 1 (CCF1), compression depth, compression rate, too slow frequency, too fast frequency, too shallow frequency, the total times of compressions, the correct times of compressions, correct rate, and the rate of compression retention were record as preliminary evaluation data by using the dual sensor and the pressure sensor built in the chest compression feedback device. At the same time, the correct compression ratio, correct ventilation ratio, the chest compression fraction 2 (CCF2) displayed on the human electronic displayer of the manikin were used as the review criteria. The quality of chest compression among the four groups of volunteers was compared. Results The compression rate and the too fast frequency in the depth display group were significantly higher than those in the music metronome group [compression rate (bpm): 140.59±17.90 vs. 124.27±21.43, the too fast frequency (times): 134.18±49.88 vs. 95.40±53.76, both P < 0.05], and the total compression times in depth display group were significantly higher than either in music metronome group or in blank control group (times: 152.73±27.05 vs. 135.60±10.38, 144.60±12.56, all P < 0.05), the rate of compression retention in depth display group was significantly higher than that in blank control group [37.50% (4.75%, 88.25%) vs. 12.00% (2.75%, 47.00%)]. Consistency detection of two sets of feedback systems for chest compression showed that the chest compression ratio in music metronome group evaluated by the chest compression feedback device was obviously lower than that assessed by the analog human electronic displayer [(53.60±9.87)% vs. (58.20±28.17)%], and it was suggested that the chest compression ratio in depth display group evaluated by the chest compression feedback device be markedly higher than that assessed by the analog human electronic displayer [(56.32±7.77)% vs. (43.86±27.63)%, P < 0.05], and it was shown that the correct rates of chest compression assessed by the chest compression feedback device were significantly lower than those evaluated by the analog human electronic displayer in metronome, music, depth and blank control groups [phone metronome group: 0.00% (0.00%, 60.75%) vs. 38.50% (24.25%, 92.00%), music metronome group: 0.00% (0.00%, 7.00%) vs. 60.00% (32.00%, 89.00%), depth display group: 0.00% (0.00%, 0.25%) vs. 34.00% (20.75%, 68.25%), blank control group: 0.00% (0.00%, 1.75%) vs. 61.50% (30.75%, 84.25%), all P < 0.05], suggesting that the consistency of this two feedback systems be poor and their degrees of reliability low. Conclusion The effects of intervention measures on the quality of chest compressions vary from person to person, and the quality of chest compressions can be really elevated only by systematic training and repeated practice.

Objective: To investigate the efficacy and safety of anlotinib hydrochloride capsules for the treatment of advanced soft tissue sarcoma based on the data from Department of Bone and Soft Tissue Tumor, Peking University Cancer Hospital&Institute. Methods: Patients were randomized allocated at 2:1 ratio for the anlotinib treatment and placebo group. The treatment group received 12 mg/day of anlotinib for 14 consecutive days in a 21-day cycle. The primary end-point was progression-free survival (PFS), and the secondary end-points were disease control rate (DCR), overall survival (OS), and adverse event rate. Results: A total of 46 patients were enrolled in this study; 7 of them were excluded from per protocol set (PPS). Among the remaining 39 patients, 28 were included in the anlotinib group and 11 in the placebo group. In the anlotinib group, 4 patients had partial remission and 13 had stable disease (SD), whereas in the placebo group, 3 patients had SD. The difference in DCR between the 2 groups was statistically significant (60.7% vs . 27.3%, P=0.082). The DCR of the advanced soft tissue sarcoma in the anlotinib group was 78.6% (11/14). The median PFS in the anlotinib group was 12.4 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 7.6 to 17.2) months, which was significantly longer than 4 months in the placebo group (95% CI: 1.7 to 6.3 months, P=0.043); however, the difference in OS between the 2 groups was not significant (19.4 vs . 17.6 months, P=0.961). Regarding the safety, 2 patients had severe adverse events (7.14%) possibly related with treatment in the anlotinib group; one of them had pneumothorax. The other adverse events were grade 1 to 2. Conclusions: Soft tissue sarcoma is highly responsive to anlotinib, with prolonged PFS. Anlotinib is well tolerated and can be used as a treatment option for advanced soft tissue sarcoma.

Objective:To investigate the inhibitory effect of RMT1-10-induced tolerogenic dendritic cells (Tol-DCs) in vitro on high-risk corneal allograft rejection in mice and its mechanism. Methods:One hundred SPF male BALB/c mice and fifty SPF male C57BL/6 mice were selected.Bone marrow-derived immature dendritic cells (imDCs) obtained from C57BL/6 mice were divided into imDCs group, mature dentritic cells (mDCs) group, RMT1-10 group, and IgG isotype control group.The imDCs in the four groups were cultured with no intervention, lipopolysaccharide, RMT1-10 and lipopolysaccharide, or IgG isotype antibody and lipopolysaccharide for 7 days according to grouping.The expression levels of different phenotypes of DCs including CD11c, CD80, CD86, major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-Ⅱ, T cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain containing molecule (Tim)-4 and CD103 in the four groups were detected by flow cytometry.The concentrations of interleukin-10 (IL-10) and transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) in the DCs supernatants were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.A mixed lymphocyte culture system was established, and the stimulation index (SI) of CD4 + T cell proliferation stimulated with DCs was detected by cell counting kit 8 method.Corneal neovascularization was induced by corneal stromal suture in BALB/c mice, and the 80 mice with neovascularization in 4 quadrants growing into the middle and peripheral cornea were used as recipients.The recipient mice were randomized into imDCs group, mDCs group, RMT1-10 group, and IgG isotype control group using the random number table method, with 20 mice in each group.An injection of corresponding DCs (1×10 6 cells/100 μl) was administered to the recipient mice via the tail vein according to grouping.At 7 days following the injection, C57BL/6 mice were used as donors and penetrating keratoplasty was performed.Within one month after the operation, signs of corneal grafts rejection, including opacity, edema and neovascularization, were observed by slit lamp biomicroscopy and scored every day.At 21 days after the operation, 5 recipients selected from each group were subcutaneously injected with naive C57BL/6 splenocytes (1×10 6 cells/100 μl) behind the ear.The delayed type hypersensitivity (DTH) was evaluated by ear swelling at 24 hours after the subcutaneous injection.The use and care of experimental animals complied with the Regulations on the Management of Experimental Animals promulgated by the State Science and Technology Commission.This study protocol was approved by an Ethics Committee of the Affiliated Hospital of Chengde Medical University (No.CYFYLL2020055). Results:Compared with mDCs group, the expressions of CD80, CD86 and MHC-Ⅱ, and the percentage of Tim-4-positive cells in CD11c-positive cells were significantly decreased in RMT1-10 group, showing statistically significant differences (all at P<0.001). The percentage of Tim-4-positive cells were significantly decreased in RMT1-10 group than imDCs group, and the percentage of CD103-positive cells in RMT1-10 group was significantly higher than imDCs group, mDCs group and IgG isotype control group (all at P<0.001). The concentrations of IL-10 and TGF-β in the cell culture supernatant of RMT1-10 group were significantly higher than those of the other three groups, with statistically significant differences (all at P<0.001). There were statistically significant differences in the SI of CD4 + T cell proliferation simulated by DCs ( Fgroup=1 833.00, P<0.001; Fratio=230.40, P<0.001; Finteraction=3.06, P=0.01). The SI of DCs/CD4 + T cells ratio at 1∶5, 1∶10, 1∶20 and 1∶40 were all significantly lower in imDCs group than mDCs group, and were all significantly lower in RMT1-10 group than imDCs group (all at P<0.05). There was a statistically significant difference in corneal graft survival curve among various groups ( χ2=77.69, P<0.001). The survival rate of RMT1-10 group was significantly higher than that of imDCs group ( χ2=9.74, P=0.002), and the survival rate of imDCs group was significantly higher than that of mDCs group ( χ2=31.02, P<0.001). The ear swelling of recipient mice of positive control group, mDCs group, IgG isotype control group, imDCs group and RMT1-10 group was (503.6±17.2), (475.7±17.6), (456.2±18.8), (225.2±39.4), (118.1±12.6), and (106.4±7.4) μm, with a statistically significant difference among them ( F=377.10, P<0.001). The mice ear swelling was more serious in positive control group than mDCs group, more serious in IgG isotype control group than imDCs group, and more serious in imDCs group than RMT1-10 group (all at P<0.05). Conclusions:RMT1-10 can inhibit the rejection of high-risk corneal transplantation in mice, the mechanism of which may be attributed to inducing imDCs to transform into Tol-DCs in vitro and up-regulating the expression of TGF-β and IL-10, which promotes antigen-specific immune tolerance after adoptive transfer, thereby indirectly prolongs the survival of corneal grafts.

Objective:To analyze the influencing factors of skull base reconstruction failure after endoscopic endonasal skull base surgery (EESBS).Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on 228 EESBS cases at the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University from 2018 to 2023. The clinical features associated with skull base reconstruction and postoperative cerebrospinal fluid leakage were collected and analyzed. Lasso regression was initially used for exploratory analysis, and risk factors for reconstruction failure were subsequently evaluated using multifactorial logistic regression.Results:A total of 157 cases of EESBS were included, with an overall reconstruction failure rate of 11.5% (18/157). No patients who underwent second-stage reconstruction with a tipped mucosal flap or multilayered free mucosal and fascial repair experienced further postoperative cerebrospinal fluid leakage. Variables identified through Lasso regression included history of surgery, history of radiotherapy, and site of leakage. Multifactorial logistic analysis showed that history of radiotherapy ( OR=5.96, P=0.021) and site of leakage in the posterior skull base ( OR=8.70, P=0.003) were significant risk factors for failure of skull base reconstruction. Conclusion:In cases with a history of radiotherapy and/or posterior skull base lesions in the operative area, reconstruction strategies should be strengthened to improve the success rate of one-stage repair, in particular, when intraoperative cerebrospinal fluid leakage occurs.
