BACKGROUND:The cel sheet technology that is applied with the absence of scaffolds and enzymatic digestion can effectively repair tissue defects and improve organ function, by stimulating the secretion of extracelular matrix to form a dense membrane tissue.
OBJECTIVE: To review the recent progress in cel sheet technology used in tissue engineering, thereby providing a new idea for relevant basic and clinical research.
METHODS:The first author retrieved CNKI database, Wanfang database and PubMed with the keywords of “cel sheet, tissue engineering” in Chinese and English, respectively. Literature retrieval period was from January 2010 to July 2015.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Cel sheet technology combined with scaffold materials can be used for reconstruction and repair of tissues and organs. With the emerging of new technologies, multi-layer cel sheets are stratified to form a three-dimensional tissue for repair of soft tissues and organs. Compared with the monolayer cel sheet, the three-dimensional cel sheet that is laminated by same or different cel sheets has stronger regenerative ability and can be used to construct the ideal target tissue modelin vitro. Cel sheet technology combined with scaffolds can improve the mechanical strength of the composite and reduce cel loss, which has made great progress in the repair of tooth, bone and cartilage tissue. Currently, the cel sheet technology is at the laboratory stage, and little is reported on its clinical applications. We look forward to more innovative technologies that can be integrated into the cel sheet technology.

BACKGROUND:Epithelial cel s are commonly used as the seed cel in tissue engineering;however, there is stil a lack of an effective in vivo noninvasive trace technology. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the feasibility of labeling canine oral epithelial cel s with ultrasmal superparamagnetie iron oxide (USPIO) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in vitro. METHODS:Oral epithelial cel s from beagles were primary cultured, and then labeled by 0.75 mg/L poly-L-lysine combined with USPIO (0, 5, 10, 25, 50 and 100 mg/L), respectively. To determine the optimal dosage, the intracel ular iron expression was identified by Prussian blue staining, and the cel viability in different groups was detected by cel counting kit-8. Final y, 2×105 labeled cel s were suspended with 1 mL PBS buffer, and were screened using 3.0 T MR on T2*WI sequences in vitro. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:USPIO prepared with 0.75 mg/L poly-L-lysine could successful y label dog oral epithelial cel s. Prussian blue staining showed intracel ular blue spots, and the intracel ular blue spots became more with the concentration increasing and saturated at the concentration of 25 mg/L. Cel counting kit-8 indicated that the cel viability did not change when the concentration<25 mg/L. Among the T2*WI sequences, the MRI signal intensity decreased with the concentration increasing. In conclusion, canine oral epithelial cel s can be effectively labeled with USPIO making no impact on cel viability when the concentration<25 mg/L, and MRI can be used to track these labeled cel s in vitro.

Objective:To explore the predictive value of single high-sensitivity cardiac troponin I (hs-cTnI) concentration of 30-day cardiovascular adverse events in patients with suspected acute coronary syndrome (ACS).Methods:This is a multicenter, prospective and observational clinical study. Patients with suspected ACS who were admitted into the emergency department of Fuwai Hospital, the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University and Nanjing First Hospital from January 2017 to September 2020 were enrolled. hs-cTnI result at the time of visit was obtained from patients with suspected ACS. Patients were followed up for 30 days and patients were divided into no events group and events group according to the presence or absence of 30-day cardiovascular adverse events (acute myocardial infarction (including index), unplanned revascularization and cardiovascular death). The predictive value of single Hs-cTnI at different concentration thresholds on the adverse event was evaluated in terms of sensitivity, negative predictive value (NPV) and 95% confidence interval ( CI). The best threshold was defined as: missed diagnosis rate <2% and NPV >99%. Patients were sub-grouped according to the confounders of hs-cTnI (sex, age, chest pain duration, estimated glomerular filtration rate), and Chi-square test was used to compare sensitivity and NPV among various subgroups. Results:A total of 1 461 patients were included. Among them, 387 patients (26.5%) had 30-day adverse cardiovascular events and 1 074 patients (73.5%) had no adverse cardiovascular events. Mean age was (62±12) years old and 905 were males (61.9%). When the concentration of hs-cTnI was less than 2 ng/L (limit of detection), the missed diagnosis rate of 30-day cardiovascular adverse events was 0.8% (3/387), the sensitivity was 99.2% (95% CI 97.6%-99.8%), and NPV was 98.7% (95% CI 96.0%-99.7%). When hs-cTnI concentration was less than 6 ng/L, the missed diagnosis rate was 1.8%, the sensitivity was 98.2% (95% CI 96.1%-99.2%), and NPV was 99.0% (95% CI 97.9%-99.6%). Subgroup analysis showed that the sensitivity and NPV of single hs-cTnI concentration <6 ng/L for 30-day cardiovascular adverse events were lower in patients with chest pain less than 3 h than those with chest pain time>3 hours ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Single hs-cTnI concentration less than 6 ng/L can predict the risk of 30-day cardiovascular adverse events in suspected ACS patients, but continuous monitoring is recommended for patients with chest pain onset≤3 hours.

Objective:To compare the diagnostic efficacy of 18F-prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-1007 PET/CT and mpMRI in the diagnosis of pelvic lymph node metastasis of prostate cancer (PCa). Methods:The clinical data of 30 patients who underwent 18F-PSMA-1007 PET/CT and mpMRI examinations in Sichuan Cancer Hospital from November 2018 to April 2021 were analyzed. The average age was (68.4±6.4) years old. The preoperative total PSA was 45.70(16.07, 100.00)ng/ml. Among 30 patients, 14 cases were found lymph node positive by PET/CT and 7 cases were found lymph node positive by mpMRI.Combined with the two preoperative imaging methods and the patient's PSA level, there was 1 patient in stage T 1, 20 patients in stage T 2, 6 patients in stage T 3, and 3 patients in stage T 4. Twenty-nine cases were classified as high risk group and one case was in moderate risk group.All 30 patients underwent laparoscopic radical prostatectomy and enlarged pelvic lymph node dissection (ePLND). According to the postoperative pathological results, the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of the two imaging techniques for the diagnosis of PCa pelvic lymph node metastasis were calculated, and the consistency of the two imaging techniques for the postoperative pathological results was observed by Kappa test. Results:All the 30 patients were confirmed to be PCa by postoperative pathology, among which 10 patients were positive for pelvic lymph node biopsy. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of 18F-PSMA-1007 PET/CT for pelvic lymph node metastasis were 100.0% (10/10), 80.0% (16/20), 71.4%(10/14) and 100.0%(16/16) respectively, and Kappa value was 0.727. The sensitivity and specificity of mpMRI were 70.0% (7/10) and 100.0% (20/20), the positive and negative predictive values were 100.0% (7/7) and 87.0%(20/23)respectively, and the Kappa value was 0.757. The P values of sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value between the two imaging methods were 0.18, 0.07, 0.30, <0.01, respectively. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of 18F-PSMA-1007 PET/CT in diagnosing the number of pelvic lymph node metastasis were 100%(28/28), 98.2% (373/380), 80.0% (28/35) and 100.0%(373/373), respectively. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of mpMRI in diagnosing the number of pelvic lymph node metastasis were 78.6% (22/28), 100.0% (380/380), 100.0% (22/22) and 98.4%(380/386), respectively. The P values of the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of lymph node detection by the two imaging methods were all <0.01, and the differences were statistically significant. Conclusions:The sensitivity and negative predictive value of 18F-PSMA-1007 PET/CT for the detection of positive lymph node were higher than mpMRI. The specificity and positive predictive value of mpMRI in detecting positive lymph node metastasis were higher than 18F-PSMA-1007 PET/CT examination.

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most common pathological type of lung cancer, most NSCLC patients are at advanced stage at the time of diagnosis. For patients without sensitive driven-oncogene mutations, chemotherapy is still the main treatment at present, the overall prognosis is poor. Improving outcomes and obtaining long-term survival are the most urgent needs of patients with advanced NSCLC. In recent years, immunotherapy has developed rapidly. Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), especially targeting programmed death-1 (PD-1)/programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1), have made a breakthrough in the treatment of NSCLC, beneficial to patients' survival and changed the treatment pattern for NSCLC. It shows more and more important role in the treatment of NSCLC. Led by NSCLC expert committee of Chinese society of clinical oncology (CSCO), relevant experts in this field were organized. On the basis of referring to domestic and foreign literature, systematically evaluating the results of Chinese and foreign clinical trials, and combining the experiences of the experts, the experts group reached an agreement to develop this consensus. It will guide domestic counterparts for better application of ICIs to treat NSCLC.

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most common pathological type of lung cancer. The systemic antitumor therapy of advanced NSCLC has undergone renovations of chemotherapy, targeted therapy and immunotherapy, which results in greatly improved survival for patients with advanced NSCLC. Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), especially targeting programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1)/programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1), has changed the treatment paradigm of NSCLC. ICIs have become the standard treatment for advanced NSCLC without epidermal growth factor receptor(EGFR) mutation or anaplastic lymphomakinase(ALK) translocation in the first- or second-line setting, and for locally advanced NSCLC following concurrent radiotherapy and chemotherapy. ICIs are also promising in adjuvant/neoadjuvant therapy. More and more ICIs have been approved domestically for the treatment of NSCLC. Led by the NSCLC expert committee of Chinese Society of Clinical Oncology (CSCO), this consensus was developed and updated based on thoroughly reviewing domestic and foreign literatures, clinical trial data, systematic reviews, experts' discussion and the consensus(2019 version). This consensus will aid domestic clinicians in the treatment of NSCLC with ICIs.
