OBJECTIVE:To investigate characteristics and regularity of ADR induced by antineoplastic drugs and provide ref-erence for the safe drug use. METHODS:7 417 ADR reports induced by antineoplastic drugs from 91 hospitals from 2009 to 2013 were collected in the ADR monitoring center of PLA. According to the classification in national ADR monitoring cencer,Excel soft-ware was performed to statistically analyze the data. RESULTS:Among 7 417 ADR reports,1 475 were severe ADR(19.89%), 196 were the new and general ADR(2.64%),and 44 were new and severe ADR(0.59%);the elderly patients aged from 45-59 years accounted for the highest proportion (41.01%);intravenous administration was the main administration route causing ADR (88.96%);the incidence of antineoplastic drugs was higher in plant-derived drugs(26.55%),platinum drugs(24.86%)and an-ti-metabolism drugs (19.46%);ADR mostly manifested as lesions of digestive system (38.80%),blood system (16.53%) and general system(12.79%);43.60%ADR occurred within 12 hours after administration. CONCLUSIONS:Highly poisonous,nar-row-range security antineoplastic drugs could easily induce ADR. Risk prevention of antineoplastic drugs should be strengthened to undertake monitoring for high-risk patients and antineoplastic drugs,and severe ADR. More attention should be attached to the reac-tions after 12 h administration to reduce ADR incidence as much as possible.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of purging fu-organs traditional Chinese medicine (TCM)therapy for treatment of patients with severe pneumonia and sthenia-heat. Methods According to random number table method,71 patients with sthenia-heat of severe pneumonia were divided into a treatment group (35 cases)and a control group(36 cases). Conventional basic treatment was given to both groups,and additionally, small chengqi decoction was applied nasogastrically for the therapy in treatment group for 2 weeks. The clinical pulmonary infection score(CPIS),Marshall score,integration score of TCM syndromes and the mortalities in 28 days and 60 days were used to compare the clinical efficacy of the two groups. Results With the prolongation of treatment,the CPIS,Marshall score and integration score of syndromes in the two groups were gradually decreased. In treatment group,CPIS and Marshall scores were lower than those of control group on the 4th day ,and there were statistically significant differences(CPIS score:5.8±1.7 vs. 6.8±1.9,Marshall score:5.3±2.3 vs. 6.6±2.7,both P<0.05);the above 2 scores in treatment group were also lower than those of control group on the 7th and 14th day after treatment(7th day CPIS score:5.3±1.5 vs. 5.6±1.4,Marshall score:5.1±1.9 vs. 5.7±1.8;14th day CPIS score:3.9±1.7 vs. 4.4±2.3,Marshall score:4.2±1.9 vs. 4.9±2.5),but there were no statistically significant differences(all P>0.05). In addition,the integration scores of syndromes were significantly decreased on the 4th, 7th and 14th day in the treatment group significantly lower than those in the control group(4th day:7.6±2.3 vs. 10.6±2.7,7th day:7.4±2.5 vs. 9.2±2.1,14th day:6.1±1.9 vs. 8.3±2.4,all P<0.05). However,there were no statistically significant differences in mortality rates in 28 days and 60 days respectively between control group and treatment group(28 days:16.7% vs. 11.4%,60 days:25.0% vs. 20.3%,both P>0.05). Conclusion Purging fu-organs therapy not only can decrease the CPIS and Marshall scores of patients with sthenia-heat of severe pneumonia,but also can improve their syndromes.

Objectives:
. The necessity to develop a method for prognostication and to identify novel biomarkers for personalized medicine in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) cannot be overstated. Recently, pathomics, which relies on quantitative analysis of medical imaging, has come to the forefront. CXCL8, an essential inflammatory cytokine, has been shown to correlate with overall survival (OS). This study examined the relationship between CXCL8 mRNA expression and pathomics features and aimed to explore the biological underpinnings of CXCL8.
Methods:
. Clinical information and transcripts per million mRNA sequencing data were obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA)-HNSCC dataset. We identified correlations between CXCL8 mRNA expression and patient survival rates using a Kaplan-Meier survival curve. A retrospective analysis of 313 samples diagnosed with HNSCC in the TCGA database was conducted. Pathomics features were extracted from hematoxylin and eosin–stained images, and then the minimum redundancy maximum relevance, with recursive feature elimination (mRMR-RFE) method was applied, followed by screening with the logistic regression algorithm.
Results:
. Kaplan-Meier curves indicated that high expression of CXCL8 was significantly associated with decreased OS. The logistic regression pathomics model incorporated 16 radiomics features identified by the mRMR-RFE method in the training set and demonstrated strong performance in the testing set. Calibration plots showed that the probability of high gene expression predicted by the pathomics model was in good agreement with actual observations, suggesting the model’s high clinical applicability.
Conclusion
. The pathomics model of CXCL8 mRNA expression serves as an effective tool for predicting prognosis in patients with HNSCC and can aid in clinical decision-making. Elevated levels of CXCL8 expression may lead to reduced DNA damage and are associated with a pro-inflammatory tumor microenvironment, offering a potential therapeutic target.

Objective:To explore the contents and methods of clinical comprehensive evaluation of microecologics, with the example of Bifidobacterium quadruple viable tablet, in order to provide evidence for clinical rational use of microecologics, and microecologics research, development and related decision-making, and to promote rational use of medications. Methods:Based on the research data collected from systematic literature search, health technology assessment methods such as evidence-based medicine and pharmacoeconomics evaluation were used to estimate the safety, efficacy, economics, suitability, accessibility and innovation of Bifidobacterium quadruple viable tablet. Results:In terms of efficacy, Bifidobacterium quadruple viable tablet showed significant therapeutic effects in the treatment of pediatric diarrhea, antibiotic-related diarrhea, diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome, and secondary diarrhea caused by diseases such as ulcerative colitis, as well as constipation and functional dyspepsia. It can also be used in the treatment of various diseases such as Helicobacter pylori related gastritis, liver cirrhosis, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. In terms of safety, the incidence of adverse effects of this medication was low, and most were mild to moderate and transient symptoms. In terms of economics, compared with mesalazine alone in the treatment of ulcerative colitis, the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio of combination of Bifidobacterium quadruple viable tablet and mesalazine was 1 743.2. Besides, the daily treatment cost of Bifidobacterium quadruple viable tablet was lower than that of combination of Bifidobacterium triple viable and Bacillus licheniformis (1.87 to 2.80 yuan vs. 2.08 to 5.78 yuan). In terms of innovation, this medication had multiple patents and had been identified as a high-tech product in Zhejiang Province. In terms of suitability, the overall suitability of use and technical characteristics of medication were good. It could be further improved in the aspects of dosage form and system. In terms of accessibility, the price of the medication was stable, affordable and accessible to the general public. Conclusions:Based on the existing evidence, Bifidobacterium quadruple viable tablet presented effective with supported evidences, good safety, accessibility and innovation. The suitability can be further optimized. However, more in-depth and targeted research is needed in terms of economics and innovation in different clinical applications, and there is space for optimization in medication suitability.

Objective:To improve the understanding of indolent mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).Methods:The data of a patient with indolent leukemic MCL in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University in May 2013 were collected. The cell morphology was analyzed by using cell smear, the flow cytometry was used to make immunophenotype analysis, the karyotype analysis was performed by usig cytogenetic technique, and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to make the immunoglobulin gene analysis. At the same time, lymph node pathology and immunohistochemistry were also analyzed. The related articles published were reviewed to sum up the characteristics and the treatment of indolent MCL.Results:The male patient aged 60 years was obviously asymptomatic accompanied with slow disease progression, leukemic manifestation and without lymphadenopathy. He received pathological biopsy because of located lymphadenopathy in 2008. Small cell morphology, Kappa light chain immunophenotype, t(11;14) translocation showed after the cytogenetic examination, clonal immune globulin gene rearrangement and low Ki-67 positive index were identified. In situ MCL was diagnosed by retrospective pathology.Conclusions:Indolent MCL is extremely rare. It is typically asymptomatic with none or minimal nodal involvement, indolent disease course, leukemic phase with mild lymphocytosis, Kappa light chain expression, simple karyotype, classical or small cell morphology of tumor cells and the positive index of Ki-67 <10%. In situ MCL can be seen in pathology examination. IgVH gene mutation positive and SOX11 negative expression are notable in indolent MCL. International prognostic index of MCL is probably not appropriate in the prognostic analysis of leukemic indolent MCL. It is emphasized that initial observation and having therapies only after the disease progression can be suited for indolent MCL.

Objective To analyze the clinical features and prognosis of extra-nodal nasal NK/T cell lymphoma originated from the larynx. Methods Clinical data of 15 cases of extra-nodal nasal NK/T-cell lymphoma originated from the larynx were retrospectively analyzed. The overall survival ( OS ) and progression-free survival ( PFS) were calculated by Kaplan-Meier survival analysis. The effect of different clinical factors on the clinical prognosis was assessed by univariate analysis. Results Among 15 patients,13 cases were male and 2 female. The median age of onset was 40 years. In 8 cases,the lesions were confined to the larynx,and only 4 cases suffered from cervical lymph node involvement. According to Ann Abor staging, 11 cases were classified as grade I,3 as gradeⅡand 1 as gradeⅢ.The median OS was 28. 0 months and the 5-year OS was 32. 0%.The median PFS was 24. 7 months and the 5-year PFS was 33. 3%.Among 14 patients with stage Ⅰ/Ⅱ,the clinical prognosis of patients receiving combined chemo-radiotherapy was significantly better than those of their counterparts undergoing radiotherapy or chemotherapy alone ( median OS:37. 2 vs. 11. 2 vs.3. 7 months,P=0. 004) . Conclusion Extra-nodal nasal NK/T cell lymphoma originated from the larynx is extremely rare, predominantly in middle-aged male patients. The general condition is relatively favorable. Patients present with multiple lesions in the early stage and relatively poor prognosis. The clinical efficacy of chemotherapy combined with radiotherapy is probably higher compared with that of radiotherapy or chemotherapy alone.
