Objective To investigate the efficacy and toxicity of bortezomib in combination with ifosfamide, methylprednisolone, thalidomide (V-CMPT) for the treatment of multiple myeloma (MM). Methods Twenty-four patients with newly diagnosed or relapsed/refractory MM were treated with V-CMPT. This regimen was repeated every three weeks as one cycle, and each case received two cycles. We adopted the examination of bone marrow and M protein and other hematological markers to evaluate the condition of disease and the therapeutic response. Results Of the nine patients with newly diagnosed MM, three achieved a complete remission (CR), five of a partial response (PR), and 1 of a minor response (MR). Of the patients with relapsed/refractory MM, two achieved a CR, two had a near CR (nCR), three had a PR, six had a MR, and two were no chang (NC). There was no obvious difference in the two groups (P = 0.511, P = 1.000). The overall response rate (ORR) was 91.7 %, and the CR/nCR rate was 29.2 %. After two cycles, the levels of hemoglobin, the serum albumin and the serum β2-microglobulin were obviously improved. The main adverse events were transient, including gastrointestinal reaction, thrombocytopenia, neuropathy, which could be controlled during the interval of chemotherapy or by symptomatic treatment and had no influence on the chemotherapy.Conclusion V-CMPT regiman was effective against the newly diagnosed and relapsed/refractory MM and could improve the related hematological markers with high response rate and tolerable toxicities.

Objective To obserue that bortezomib lead to hepatic impairment and even hepatic insufficiency. Methods Four multiple myeloma patients with hepatic impairment in velcade therapy were analyzed. All of 4 patients ranged from 46 to 60-year-old were relapsed and refractory, including 3 cases of male and 1 of female; 2 of K light chain type, 1 of non secretion type and 1 of IgGλλ biclonal type; 3 in stage ⅢB and 1 in stage ⅢA. Results Four patients had normal hepatic function before bortezomib therapy, but all appeared hepatic impairment during therapy. ALT and aspartate aminotransferase were increased by 2-80 and 1.5-70 times compared with before the chemotherapy, respectively, and bilirubin and alkaline phosphatase in 2 patients and glutamyltranspeptidase in 1 patient were increased. Hepatic function restored normally after patients were given liver securing drug and discontinued bortezomib therapy. Conclusion It isn't rare that bortezomib causing hepatic impairment in the patients with multiple myeloma.

AIM: To assess the efficacy and safety of prophylactic laser photocoagulation for retinal breaks before laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) in myopic eyes.METHODS: From April 2000 to April 2004, totally 1 845 eyes ( 1 233 patients ) requesting LASIK had a fundus examination with indirect ophthalmoscopy before the surgery. They were divided into two groups according to the presence (Group 1) or absence of retinal breaks (Group 2). All patients with retinal breaks, though they were asymptomatic, underwent prophylactic laser photocoagulation to seal the breaks before LASIK.RESULTS: Patient age ranged from 18 to 43 ( 25.3±5.7) yaers old. Mean preoperative spherical equivalent refraction (PSER) was -7.44± 2.13 D (range, -1.50 to -14.50 D). Retinal breaks were identified and treated in 37eyes (2.05%) of 32 patients;1 808 eyes of 1 201 patients had no retinal breaks. No statistical difference was found in age ( P >0.05) or gender (P >0.05) between the two groups. Significant difference of PSER was noted between Group 1 (-9.41± 4.15D) and Group 2 (-7.52±3.71D) (P<0.05). During a mean 14mo follow-up, none of the patients developed retinal detachment.CONCLUSION: The efficacy and safety of prophylactic laser photocoagulation for retinal breaks was confirmed.Retinal breaks should be identified and treated by photocoagulation in eyes before LASIK for myopia.

Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics, prognosis and treatment of pleural effusion of multiple myeloma. Methods From Jun 2005 to March 2010, of 162 patients with multiple myeloma treated in our department were complicated with pleural effusion, whose the proportion male to female was 8:7 and the median age was 56.8 (37-68) years. The diagnosis of malignant pleural effusion was dependent on physical examination, chest X ray, pleural aspiration and pleural fluid cytology. According to internatinal system stages and Durie-Salmon stages, the patients were staged. Results The results of pleural fluid cytology showed that the myeloma cells were positive in 13 patients and was negative in the other 2 patients. All patients received the chemotherapy regimen including bortezomib, large dose of glucocorticoids and cisplatin, cyclophosphamide, etoposide or prednisone (DECP). Although pleural effusion was controlled in some degrees, but were quickly relapsed. Eleven patients died, 2 of steady disease and 2 follow-up. Conclusion Multiple myeloma with myelomatous pleural effusion was very poor in the prognosis. Myelomatous pleural effusion was taken as a late manifestation in multiple myeloma or prediction of the aggressive behavior of the disease.

Objective To study the effect of recombinant interlukin-2 plus chemotherapy in treatment of multiple myeloma. Methods We divided into two groups: chemotherapy plus rIL-2 group and simple chemotherapy group. The patients were given at dose of rIL-2 1×l06 IU/d, iH, qd, for 4 weeks and 4cycles. After 4 cycles the changes of T-cell subsets of their peripheral blood were determined. Response was evaluated according to Blad criteria. Adverse events were graded according to the National Cancer Institute Common Toxicity Criteria,version 3.0. Results The positive percentages of CD_3, CD_4 NK, CD_(69) and CD_4/CD_8ratio after chemotherapy in chemotherapy plus rIL-2 group were significantly higher than those before chemotherapy in the same group and those after chemotherapy in the other group. The overall response rate and complete response rate were 66.7 % and 25.0 % vs 50.0 % and 8.3 % respectively. The side effects of rIL-2 were predictable and manageable. Conclusion Recombinant interlukin-2 plus chemotherapy could increase immune function of patients with multiple myeloma and has a higher response rate as compared with simple chemotherapy.

To investigate the characteristics of newly reported HIV/AIDS cases aged 15 years and older in Shangcheng District, Hangzhou City from 2006 to 2022, so as to provide the basis for improving AIDS prevention and control strategies.
Methods:
Data of newly reported HIV/AIDS cases aged 15 years and older in Shangcheng District from 2006 to 2022 were collected through HIV/AIDS Comprehensive Control System of Chinese Disease Prevention and Control Information System. Population distribution and transmission routes were analyzed, and changing trends in case number were analyzed using average annual percent change (AAPC) and annual percent change (APC).
Results:
A total of 4 409 HIV/AIDS cases aged 15 years and older were newly reported in Shangcheng District from 2006 to 2022, including 3 932 males (89.18%). There were 3 447 cases (78.18%) under 50 years old and 962 cases (21.82%) being 50 years and older. Sexual contact was a predominant transmission route, with 4 326 cases accounting for 98.12%, including 2 626 cases (59.56%) with homosexual contact and 1 700 cases (38.56%) with heterosexual contact. The number of HIV/AIDS cases showed an overall upward trend from 2006 to 2022 (AAPC=13.038%, P<0.05), with an upward trend from 2006 to 2015 (APC=42.578%, P<0.05) and a downward trend from 2015 to 2022 (APC=-19.713%, P<0.05). The increase in the number of cases aged 50 years and older group was faster than that of cases aged under 50 years (AAPC=22.641% vs. 11.162%, both P<0.05). The increase in the number of cases with homosexual contact transmission was faster than that of cases with heterosexual contact transmission (AAPC=20.417% vs. 7.455%, both P<0.05).
Conclusions
The number of newly reported HIV/AIDS cases aged 15 years and older in Shangcheng District performed an overall upward trend from 2006 to 2022. The cases aged 50 years and older and transmitted through homosexual contact increased rapidly, which should be taken seriously.
