Objective:To investigate the correlation between serum complement C1q/tumor necrosis factor associated protein 3 (CTRP3) and carotid atherosclerosis in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).Methods:From January 2018 to December 2019, 111 T2DM patients hospitalized in the Endocrinology Department of Nantong Third People ′s Hospital Affiliated to Nantong University, and 30 healthy physical examiners in the physical examination center of Nantong Third People 's Hospital Affiliated to Nantong University in the same period were selected. Thirty cases of healthy physical examination were the control group, 111 cases of T2DM were divided into 52 cases of T2DM group and 59 cases of T2DM+NAFLD group according to whether they were combined with NAFLD. The cross-sectional study method was used to collect the relevant clinical data of three groups. The comparison data between multiple groups conformed to the normal distribution and the variance was uniform. One way ANOVA was used. SNK- q test was used for pairwise comparison, χ2 test for qualitative data comparison. The correlation between carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) and influencing factors was analyzed by partial correlation analysis, and the influencing factors of carotid IMT were analyzed by multi factor linear regression. Results:In the control group, T2DM group and T2DM+NAFLD group, body mass index (BMI) (23.65±2.81), (25.52±3.12), (24.90±2.94) kg/m 2,systolic blood pressure (119.43±15.81), (130.63±10.20), (139.37±14.11) mmHg, diastolic blood pressure (72.93±9.74), (73.40±9.44), (77.97±10.00) mmHg, and fasting blood glucose (5.12±0.77), (9.78±1.37), (9.24±1.46) mmol/L,glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) (4.87±1.43)%, (7.99±1.10)%, (8.56±1.29)%,homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR)(1.56±0.37),(2.80±1.00), (3.47±0.94), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) (1.52±0.34),(1.23±0.31), (1.22±0.31) mmol/L,low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) (2.41±0.53), (2.73±0.61), (2.93±0.59) mmol/L, CTRP3 (292.93±68.54), (241.69±61.01), (150.80±56.67) μg/L, the difference between groups were statistically significant ( F=3.712,23.023,4.074,134.285,90.818,47.105,10.139,7.941,60.035,all P<0.05). Pairwise comparison shows that the systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, HbA1c and HOMA-IR in T2DM+NAFLD group were higher than those in control group and T2DM group,and CTRP3 was lower than those in control group and T2DM group, the difference was statistically significant (all P<0.05). BMI, fasting blood glucose, HbA1c, HOMA-IR, HDL-C and LDL-C in T2DM group were higher than those in the control group, CTRP3 was lower than that in the control group (all P<0.05). In the control group, T2DM group and T2DM+NAFLD group, IMT were (0.75±0.13), (1.11±0.17) and (1.25±0.15) cm; Crouse scores were (1.28±0.97), (3.22±1.42) and (4.54±1.22); the plaque detection rates 16.7%(5/30), 65.4%(34/52) and 78.0%(46/59), and there were significant differences between the two groups ( F=105.941,67.063, χ2=32.108, all P<0.001). There were significant differences between the two groups (all P<0.05). T2DM+NAFLD group was the highest, followed by T2DM group, and the control group was the lowest. Partial correlation analysis showed that carotid IMT was positively correlated with systolic blood pressure, fasting blood glucose, HbA1c, HOMA-IR, triglyceride and LDL-C ( r=0.356, 0.572, 0.575, 0.620, 0.172, 0.291, all P<0.05), and negatively correlated with HDL-C and CTRP3 ( r=-0.335, -0.675, all P<0.001). Multivariate linear regression analysis showed that HbA1c, HDL-C and ctrp3 were the influencing factors of carotid atherosclerosis ( t=2.621, -3.764, -7.280, all P<0.05) Conclusion:Serum CTRP3 is associated with carotid atherosclerosis in T2DM patients with NAFLD,and may have a protective effect on vascular lesions in T2DM patients with NAFLD.

Malignant tumors in children are one of the most important diseases that threaten the health and quality of life of children and are the second most common cause of death in children.With the continuous improvement and progress of treatment technology, the long-term survival rate of children with tumor has been significantly improved, but both the disease itself and the treatment can impair the immune function of children, which makes them vulnerable to various infectious diseases and secondary serious complications, and even become a source of infection, endangering the health of others. Vaccination is the most cost-effective measure to prevent infectious diseases. For children with normal immune functions, the benefits of vaccination usually outweigh the disadvantages. However, there is a lack of detailed data on the vaccination situation, efficacy and safety of vaccine use for such immunocompromised tumor survivors, and there are no authoritative and uniform vaccination recommendations. This article reviewed and summarized the literature and consensus of some domestic and foreign scholars on current status of post-treatment vaccination status, efficacy and safety of vaccination for children with tumors after treatment, with the aim of providing a reference for the practice in this field in China.

Objective:
To investigate the association of primary tumor site with prognosis in vulvar cancer, stratified by vulvar squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and non-SCC histological types.
Methods:
This population-based retrospective study enrolled patients with vulvar cancer from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database between January 2000 and December 2018. The primary outcome was cancer-specific survival (CSS). The prognostic difference between labium majus, labium minus and clitoris groups was investigated using Kaplan–Meier analyses and Cox proportional hazards regression analyses.
Results:
A total of 3,465 eligible patients with vulvar cancer were included with a mean age of 54.5 years. Among the 1,076 (31.1%) patients with non-SCC, the multivariate Cox regression analyses showed that labium minus-sited disease (hazard ratio [HR]=1.85; 95% confidence interval [CI]=1.27–2.71; p=0.001) and clitoris-sited disease (HR=2.37; 95% CI=1.47–3.85;p<0.001) were significantly associated with worse CSS, compared with labium majus-sited disease. However, among the 2,389 (68.9%) patients with SCC, no significant association of primary tumor site with CSS was found (p>0.05). Kaplan–Meier analyses also showed that the primary tumor site had a significant prognostic effect in vulvar non-SCC (p<0.001) but not in vulvar SCC (p=0.330).
Conclusion
Among vulvar non-SCC, patients with labium minus-sited disease had a significantly worse prognosis than those with labium majus-sited disease, and a significantly better prognosis than those with clitoris-sited disease. Gynecologic oncologists should consider the prognostic effect of primary tumor site in vulvar non-SCC, and make optimal, personalized treatment and surveillance strategies based on different primary tumor sites.
