Background:Conventional treatment has limited efficacy in relapsed/refractory B-cell lymphoma.Since chimeric antigen receptor Tcell (CAR-T) technology has shown high safety and results in high remission rates,we investigated its efficacy and safety in B-cell lymphoma treatment and analyzed potential affecting factors to provide evidence for therapeutic strategies and applications.Methods:We searched databases including PubMed,Embase,and Cochrane up to July 2019.Meta-analysis 1 was conducted to study the efficacy of CAR-T cell for treating B-cell lymphoma,measuring the response rate and complete remission rate as outcomes.Sub-group analysis was performed for age,pathological type,target antigen,co-stimulatory molecule,and conditioning chemotherapy.Meta-analysis 2 was undertaken on the safety of the treatment with the incidence rate of toxicity (cytokine-releasing syndrome [CRS],neurotoxicity) as an outcome.Results:Seventeen studies were included in the systematic review and meta-analysis.It was found that CAR-T cells had good therapeutic effects in the following cases:B-cell lymphoma (patients ≥65 years old);diffuse large B-cell lymphoma pathological type;patients with treatment target antigen other than CD 19;patients treated with co-stimulatory molecules other than CD28,including 4-1BB+CD28 or 4-1BB;and patients treated with cyclophosphamide/fludarabine pre-treatment protocol conditioning chemotherapy.Although the CRS and neurotoxicity incidences were high,most were reversible with minimal risk of death.Conclusion:CAR-T cell treatment is safe for clinical annlication:however,toxicity effects should be monitored.

Purpose To investigate the value of MRI T2 mapping imaging in diagnosis of lumbar intervertebral disc degenerative (IVDD).Materials and Methods A prospective study was performed on 100 patients who underwent 1.5T MRI examination because of lumbar and back pain from October 2013 to December 2015 at the Fifth People's Hospital of Shanghai,Fudan University.The MRI examinations included conventional sagittal T1WI and T2WI,axial T2WI and median sagittal T2 mapping imaging.According to Pfirrmann standard,475 lumbar intervertebral discs were graded.T2 values of nucleus pulposus (NP) and annulus fibrosus (AF) of anteriority and posterior with different grades were measured and compared.The correlations between T2 value,age and grade were further analyzed.30 patients were selected and underwent a second MR examination after half a year,and the difference of T2 values between the two MR examinations were compared.Results Except for grade Ⅳ and grade Ⅴ,the differences of T2 values of NP between the other grades of lumbar intervertebral discs were statistically significant (P＜0.05).T2 values of NP were negatively correlated with the grades (r=-0.77).There were no significant differences in T2 values of NP and AF of anteriority and posterior in 30 patients with back pain between the two MR measurements of half year interval (P＞0.05).Conclusion T2 mapping imaging can quantitatively assess the degree of IVDD,especially T2 values of NP can reflect the differences of IVDD with grade Ⅰ-Ⅳ,so it can provide the imaging evidence for the diagnosis of IVDD.

Objective Through early systemic nursing intervention of cervical cancer patients for promotion of the recovery of urinary bladder function, to remove the urethral catheter in advance,and reduce the occurrence of urinary bladder dysfunction. Methods 80 cervical cancer patients after total hysterectomy were divided into the treatment group and the control group with 40 cases in each group stochastically. The treatment group was given systemic nursing( psychological nursing,pelvis bottom muscles exercising,urination discontinuance exercising,abdominal muscle exercising,Valsalva maneuver exercising, Crede press exercising,open the urethral catheter timely and individually,cheiropractic with hot roller), the control group received conventional nursing and some simple training of urinary bladder function. The time of indwelling urethral catheter after the hysterectomy was compared. Results The time of indwelling urethral catheter in the treatment group and in the control group were (9.65±49)days and (15.88±03)days respectively. The incidence rate of residual urine,urine retention and infection of urinary system after surgery in the treatment group was lower than that of the control group. Conclusions Early systemic nursing intervention can shorten the time of indwelling urethral catheter after hysterectomy, reduce the occurrence of urinary bladder dysfunction .improve the surgery effect for the cervical cancer patients and ameliorate their quality of life.

Objective To study the distribution patterns of bacterial flora in sigmoid colon tissues and stools in normal population.Method Bacterial flora were identified and analyzed by using 16sDNA sequencing technology in fresh stool samples (n =13) and colon mucosa samples (n =10).Results The diversity and abundance of bacterial flora were significantly larger in the stool samples than in the sigmoid colon samples (P ＜ 0.001,P ＜ 0.001,P =0.042,P =0.006).The consititution of phylum flora between the two groups were same,including flrmicutes,bacteroides,proteobacteria,and actinomycetes.However,the proportions of firmicutes and bacteroides in stool samples were significantly higher than in the sigmoid colon samples,whereas the proportion of proteobacteria was significantly lower (P ＜ 0.001,P =0.025,P ＜ 0.001).At the genus level,faecalibacterium and bacteroides were the dominant flora in feces,whereas pseudomonas,lactococcus,acinetobacter,and flavobacterium were the most common flora in sigmoid colon mucosa.The amounts of bifidobacterium and lactobacillus were low in both two groups.Conclusion The distribution of bacterial flora remarkably differ in stools and sigmoid colon mucosa.

AIM: To explore the correlation between eccentricity in the optical treatment area and tear film function and corneal morphology after orthokeratology.

METHODS:Eighty patients(80 eyes)with myopia who were treated with orthokeratology were selected as subjects. The eccentric distance, tear film function and corneal morphology of the patient's optical treatment area were detected at different time points before and after wearing the lens. According to the median eccentric distance, the patients were divided into low eccentricity group and high eccentricity group. The differences of tear film function and corneal morphology at different time points before and after wearing were compared between the two groups. Pearson correlation coefficient was used to analyze the correlation between total eccentricity and tear film function and corneal morphological parameters at 12mo after wearing glasses.

RESULTS:Compared with before wearing lenses, the corneal surface asymmetry index and corneal surface regularity index of the two groups were significantly increased at 1wk, 3, 6 and 12mo after wearing lenses(P<0.05). Patients in the high eccentric group were more significantly elevated than in the lower eccentric group, and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05). The time of tear film rupture, corneal curvature, basic tear secretion, and central corneal thickness were significantly lower, and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05). Compared with the patients with lower eccentricity, the patients with high eccentricity group had more significant reduction in tear film rupture time and basic tear secretion, and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05), however, the degree of corneal curvature and central corneal thickness decreased less(P<0.05). There was no significant difference in corneal endothelial cell density between 1wk after wearing lenses and 3mo after wearing lenses(P>0.05). The difference was statistically significant at 6mo and 12mo after wearing lenses(P<0.05). At 12mo after wearing the lens, the total eccentric distance was positively correlated with the asymmetry index of the corneal surface and the regularity index of the corneal surface(r=0.869, 0.815; P<0.05). At 12mo after wearing the lens, the total eccentric distance was negatively correlated with tear film rupture time, corneal curvature, basic tear secretion, and central corneal thickness(r=-0.865, -0.745, -0.912, -0.713; all P<0.05), and there was no significant correlation with corneal endothelial cell density(r=0.185, P=0.199).

CONCLUSION:The eccentricity of the optical treatment area occurs at the beginning of wearing lenses. And the total eccentric distance has a significant correlation with the changes of tear film function and corneal morphology after keratoplasty.

AIM: To explore the effects of femtosecond laser and mechanical lamellar blade excision laser in situ keratomileusis(LASIK)on corneal flap thickness stability and dry eye syndrome.

METHODS: Retrospective analysis of 80 patients with myopia who underwent LASIK in our hospital. According to different methods of flapping, it is divided into femtosecond laser group and mechanical laminating knife group. The flap thickness of the two groups of patients at different time points(1h, 1d, 1wk, 1mo, 3mo)were measured. The differences in corneal apex 1, 2, 3mm and corneal apex flap thickness in different directions were compared. The incidence of dry eye syndrome was compared between 1 and 3mo, 1a, 2a after surgery.

RESULTS: The apex thickness of the corneal flap of the femtosecond laser group is 99.62±4.50μm, and the thickness of the apex of the mechanical lamellar knife group is 125.25±12.81μm.The thickness of the corneal flap at different centrifugal points of the femtosecond laser flap is relatively uniform, while the thickness of the corneal flap of the mechanical lamellar knife varies greatly. The OSDI scores of the mechanical lamellar group were higher than those of the femtosecond laser group at 1, 3, 1, and 2a postoperatively(P<0.01). At 2a of follow-up, the incidence of dry eye in the femtosecond laser group was lower than that in the mechanical lamellar group(χ²=4.692, P=0.030). At 1 and 2a postoperatively, the proportion of mild dry eye in the femtosecond laser group was higher than that in the mechanical lamellar group(P=0.044, 0.001).

CONCLUSION: Compared with the mechanical lamellar scalpel, the corneal flap thickness of patients with femtosecond laser LASIK is better, more uniform and less error. And the incidence of dry eye after surgery is lower, with mild dry eyes.
