Purpose:To investigate the prognostic factors f or local-regional control and survival in patients with regional lymph nodes re currence following mastectomy. Methods:Seventy-seven patients with their first recurrences in the regional lymph nodes treated during 1994-2003 were retrospectively analyze d. The recurrence were confined to supraclavicular region in 45 patients, in axi llary nodes in 16 patients, in internal mammary nodes in 6 patients, and with mo re than one lymph node region involved in 10 patients. The median follow-up was 34.4months. All patients were treated with radiotherapy to a total dose ranged from 50-74 Gy with a median dose of 60 Gy. Results:The median survival time was 4.67 years with 2-,5-an d 8- year survival rate of 77.8%,47.4% and 31.5% respectively. Disease-free i nterval, hormonal-receptor status were independent prognostic factors for survi val. Thirty patients had a second recurrence either in the original recurrent si te (4 patients) or in the other local-regional sites (26 patients). Chest-wall was the most frequently involved site for second recurrence, with 18 patients h ad a second recurrence including chest-wall, representing 23% of the whole coho rt. The axillary lymph nodes metastatic status of primary surgery was the only i ndependent prognostic factor for local control. Conclusions:Radiotherapy provides an efficient treatment for re gional lymph nodes recurrence following mastectomy. Twenty-three percent of pat ients present a second recurrence involving chest-wall, which suggests the sign ificance of an elective radiation to the chest-wall, especially in patients wit h 4 or more lymph nodes involved in primary surgery. Sub-group with a disease- free interval of more than 2 years, receptor positive has a better survival. The role of systemic treatment in the regional lymph nodes recurrent patients has n ot been established.

Objective To evaluate the outcome , side effects and prognosis of prostate carcinoma treated with external radiotherapy. Methods From 1990 to 1999, a total of 45 prostate carcinoma patients were treated. Four cases were lost during follow up. Forty one patients underwent orchiectomy before radiation therapy , 29 received orchiectomy combined with hormone treatment. All patients received conventional radiation therapy with a median dose of 68.3 ?Gy (50.4 75.9?Gy), 1.8 2.0?Gy per fraction, five fractions weekly. Results The median follow up duration was 28 months (1 111 months). The overall 5 year survival was 76.4% and the 5 year disease specific survival was 76.5%. In terms of acute GI side effects, the frequencies of Grade Ⅰ, Ⅱ or Ⅲ reactions were 53.5%, 7.0% and 9.3% while Grade Ⅰ or Ⅱ , acute GU side effects were 41.9% and 4.7%, respectively. For the long term deleterious effects,Grade Ⅰ or Ⅱ in GI late complications were 16.7% and 7.1% and the GU late morbidities of Grade Ⅰ,Ⅱ or Ⅲ were 23.8%, 4.8% and 2.4%, respectively. Regional lymph node metastasis was closely correlated with both overall survival (P= 0.002 ) and disease specific survival (P= 0.002 ). Multivariate analysis revealed, only regional lymph node metastasis was of prognostic value to predict the overall survival and disease specific survival. Conclusion The outcome of radiation therapy for patients with T 2 T 4 prostate carcinoma is satisfactory with the side effects tolerable to most patients.

Objective On basis of physical dose optimization, LQ model was used to investigate the difference between the curves of biological effective dose and physical isodose. The influence of applying the biological dose concept on three dimensional conformal radiotherapy of prostate carcinoma was discussed. Methods Four treatment plannings were designed for physical dose optimization: three fields, four-box fields, five fields and six fields. Target dose uniformity and protection of the critical tissue -rectum were used as the principal standard for designing the treatment planning. Biological effective dose (BED) was calculated by LQ model. The difference between the BED curve drawn in the central layer and the physical isodose curve was studied. The difference between the adjusted physical dose (APD) and the physical dose was also studied. Results Five field planning was the best in target dose uniformity and protection of the critical tissue -rectum. The physical dose was uniform in the target, but the biological effective doses revealed great discrepancy in the biological model. Adjusted physical dose distribution also displayed larger discrepancy than the physical dose unadjusted. Conclusions Intensified Modulated Radiotherapy (IMRT) technique with inversion planning using biological dose concept may be much more advantageous to reach a high tumor control probability and low normal tissue complication probability.

Objective To investigate the factors related to choice of community health service centers (CHSCs) in standardized training general practitioners (GPs) in Shanghai.Methods Totally 152 GPs,(including those of Traditional Chinese Medicine) who completed the residency training in 2013 and signed employment contract with community in Shanghai were surveyed with a self-designed questionnaire.Results Among all the participants,113 (74.3％) attached the greatest importance to the salary level when choosing CHSC,58 (38.2％) expected annual salary more than 120 000 Yuan during the first 3 years.GPs tended to work in the city center(40.1％) or CHSCs near to their home(38.2％),mainly because of the job commuting (59.9％).Considering career development,the CHSCs with high level comprehensive service (51.3％) and with large population (5.0％) were more attractive.GPs paid more attention to the national demonstration community (57.2％) and CHSCs with member ofShanghai outstanding young physician training program(51.7％).In this survey,household register was the main influencing factor for choosing CHSCs,Shanghai natives paid more attention to the location of the community than those not Shanghai natives (61.8％ vs.34.2％),more inclined to CHSCs that close to their house (55.3％ vs.21.1％),non-Shanghai natives preferred authorized strength (51.3％ vs.28.9％).GPs of Western medicine expected higher salary than GPs of TCM (x2 =13.648,P ＜ 0.05),Males expected higher salary than females (x2 =7.799,P ＜ 0.05),Conclusions GPs pay the most attention on salaries and tend to work in the city central area,prefer CHSC with high level comprehensive service and large served population.The main factor influencing GPs to chose CHSCs is the household register,the category of Gps and gender.

Objective: To investigate the seroprevalence and influencing factors of serum neutralizing antibodies among SARS-CoV-2 infected individuals, so as to provide the evidence for developing the health management and COVID-19 vaccination strategy among SARS-CoV-2 infected individuals. Methods: Recovered SARS-CoV-2 infected individuals from January 1st, 2020 to February 10th, 2021 in Zhejiang Province were recruited in March 2021. Participants' demographics, underlying diseases, date of definitive diagnosis and severity of clinical symptoms were collected using questionnaire surveys, and serum neutralizing antibody against SARS-CoV-2 was detected using a fluorescent immunoassay. In addition, factors affecting the seropositivity of neutralizing antibody against SARS-CoV-2 were identified using a multivariable logistic regression model. Results: A total of 559 SARS-CoV-2 infected individuals were enrolled, including 480 confirmed cases and 79 asymptomatic carriers, with an median (interquartile range) age of 47.00 (22.00) years, and all participants had never received COVID-19 vaccination. The median (interquartile range) duration from diagnosis to serum sampling was 387.00 (11.00) days, and the seroprevalence of neutralizing antibody against SARS-CoV-2 was 83.90%. The serum neutralizing antibody against SARS-CoV-2 was all positive 9 months after diagnosis, and the seroprevalence of neutralizing antibody against SARS-CoV-2 appeared no tendency towards a decline with time within 14 months after diagnosis (P>0.05). Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that women were 1.892 times (95%CI: 1.169-3.064) more likely to produce serum neutralizing antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 than men, and mild, common and severe/critically ill SARS-CoV-2 infected cases were 2.438 (95%CI: 1.305-4.557), 4.481 (95%CI: 2.318-8.663), and 23.525 (95%CI: 2.990-185.068) times more likely to produce serum neutralizing antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 than asymptomatic carrier, respectively. Conclusions The seroprevalence of neutralizing antibody was 100.00% among SARS-CoV-2 infected individuals within 9 months after diagnosis. Individuals' gender and severity of clinical symptoms correlate with the seroprevalence of neutralizing antibody against SARS-CoV-2.

Objective To investigate the effects of ch1D1, an anti-CD86 chimeric antibody, on autoreactive B lymphocytes isolated from patients with systemic lupus erythematosus ( SLE) . Methods Flow cytometry analysis was performed to measure the expression of CD86 on the surface of B cells isolated from patients with SLE and to analyze the effects of ch1D1 on the activation of CD4+T cells. The method of magnetic bead sorting was used to separate B cells, NK cells and CD4+T cells from PBMC collected from healthy subjects and patients with SLE for subsequent experiments. Antibody-dependent cell-mediated cyto-toxicity (ADCC) and complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC) that were mediated by ch1D1 were meas-ured with LDH release assay. Effects of ch1D1 on the secretion of auto-antibodies and the proliferation of CD 4+ T were detected by ELISA and 3 H -thymidine ( 3 H-TdR) incorporation assay, respectively. Results The levels of CD80 (68. 08±14. 28 vs 46. 10±12. 14, n=24, P<0. 000 1) and CD86 (44. 72±14. 90 vs 13. 99±10. 74, n=24, P<0. 000 1) expressed on the surface of B cells isolated from patients with SLE were significantly higher than those from the healthy subjects, suggesting the abnormal activation of B cells. Com-pared with the negative control group and the murine monoclonal antibody 1D1, ch1D1 was more effective in mediating the ADCC and CDC responses (P=0. 017 2, P=0. 038 8). Activated T cells significantly en-hanced the secretion of auto-antibodies by B cells isolated from patients with SLE. Compared with the nega-tive control group, the enhanced secretion of auto-antibodies was significantly inhibited by treatment with ch1D1 (P=0. 001 9). Moreover, ch1D1 significantly inhibited the proliferation and activation of CD4+T cells induced in patients with SLE (P=0. 002 4, P=0. 049 5). Conclusion ch1D1, the anti-CD86 chim-eric antibody, could effectively mediate the ADCC and CDC responses against autoreactive B cells isolated from patients with SLE, inhibit the secretion of auto-antibodies and suppress the proliferation and activation of auto-reactive CD4+T cells. It might be a potential immunotherapy agent for the treatment of SLE.
