Objectives:To analyze the disease burden and changing trends of non-rheumatic valvular heart disease(NRVHD)from 1990 to 2019 in China. Methods:Based on the Global Burden of Disease 2019 database,we collected data related to NRVHD in China from 1990 to 2019,analyzed the crude incidence rate,crude prevalence rate,crude disability-adjusted life year(DALY),and age-scaled rate of NRVHD during this period,and analyzed the corresponding trends.The grey prediction model GM(1,1)was used to predict the disease burden of NRVHD in China from 2020 to 2029. Results:The crude incidence,crude prevalence,and crude DALY rates of NRVHD increased in China from 7.87/100 000,123.21/100 000,and 9.83/100 000 in 1990 to 22.85/100 000,374.16/100 000,and 11.95/100 000 in 2019;the age-standardized incidence rate and the age-standardized prevalence rate increased from 9.22/100 000 and 169.04/100 000 in 1990 to 15.30/100000 and 262.85/100 000 in 2019 respectively,with females being higher than males;the age-standardized DALY rate declined from 13.43/100 000 in 1990 to 9.07/100 000 in 2019,with females being higher than males.Joinpoint regression model analysis showed an increasing trend in the age-standardized incidence rate and age-standardized prevalence rate,and a decreasing trend in the age-standardized DALY rate(annual average percentage change[AAPC]values of 1.86%,1.72%and-1.66%,respectively),trend of change was statistically significant(all P<0.05).The burden of disease for all age groups from 1990 to 2019 showed an overall increasing trend,and the crude incidence rate,crude prevalence rate and crude DALY rate all increased with age,and the elderly group over 60 years old was the main group of disease burden.The results of the grey prediction model showed that by 2029,the age-standardized incidence rate and age-standardized prevalence rate would increase to 18.51/100 000 and 303.26/100 000,respectively,and the age-standardized DALY rate would decrease to 7.42/100 000. Conclusions:From 1990 to 2019,the age-standardized incidence rate and age-standardized prevalence rate of NRVHD in China showed an increasing trend,and the age-standardized DALY rate all showed a decreasing trend.The disease burden of NRVHD in China remains high.Women and the senior population are the main target groups needing special attention in China,and more targeted prevention and treatment strategies are needed for high-risk population.

Concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) refers to the simultaneous treatment of chemotherapy and radiotherapy, and the effect of radiotherapy is enhanced with low-dose chemotherapy, which can reduce tumor recurrence and metastasis and improve clinical prognosis of patients. At present, the main factors for the increase of radiosensitivity of concurrent chemotherapy is that concurrent chemotherapy prevents the repair of tumor cells, and chemotherapy and radiotherapy act on different cell cycles and have synergistic effects. However, even for patients with locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC) who have undergone CCRT, the 5-year survival rate is only 60%, which is still not ideal. In order to improve the efficacy, researchers have conducted a series of exploratory studies, which consist of the combination of targeted drugs and immunodrugs, and neoadjuvant regimens before CCRT, etc. Although targeted or immunologic drugs are effective treatment of LACC, in view of the lack of large-scale evidence-based medical evidence, multi-center prospective and randomized phase III clinical trials and high-level articles are needed to improve the level of evidence-based medicine. This consensus summarizes several key evidence-based medical studies published recently, especially the clinical research progress in targeted and immunological therapies, providing reference for domestic peers.

新冠病毒感染疫情严重威胁着世界各国人民的生命健康。目前，对病毒感染的防治研究主要集中在抑制病毒与分子受体的结合上。AXL作为新发现的严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2型（SARS-CoV-2）受体，在协助病毒感染人体呼吸系统中发挥着重要作用，是未来临床干预的潜在靶点。本研究对已发表的单细胞测序数据进行整理和分析，发现AXL在年轻人肺细胞中的表达水平明显高于老年人。人胚肺二倍体成纤维细胞（2BS）是衰老研究的公认细胞株。本文采用2BS细胞构建复制性细胞衰老模型，发现年轻细胞中AXL的蛋白水平明显高于衰老细胞，据此推测年轻人感染的风险可能更高，需要注意防护。我们发现一种羊栖菜褐藻多糖硫酸酯组分（SFW-3）可显著下调年轻2BS细胞中AXL的表达水平，表明SFW-3具有一定的抗SARS-CoV-2感染的研究价值，同时表明2BS细胞株也可作为潜在的SARS-CoV-2体外感染模型。

Objective:To study the correlation between non-contact anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury and functional ankle instability (FAI) in young patients.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted of the 102 patients with non-contact ACL injury[61 males and 41 females, with an age of (31.9±6.1) years and a Tegner activity score of (6.1±1.9) points] who had been treated at Department of Orthopedics, Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital from January 2017 to March 2020 (injury group). Another 102 citizens without ACL injury from Guangzhou [56 males and 46 females, with an age of (30.3±7.2) years and a Tegner activity score of (6.0±2.1) points] were recruited as a control group. The Cumberland ankle instability tool (CAIT) and the Ankle Joint Functional Assessment Tool (AJFAT) were used to assess whether the subjects had self-conscious FAI or not. A correlation analysis was conducted using the data collected.Results:The 2 groups were comparable because there were no significant differences between them in general data ( P>0.05). By the CAIT score, the incidence of FAI in the injury group [52.9% (54/102)] was significantly higher than that in the control group [32.4% (33/102)] ( P<0.05); by the AJFAT score, the incidence of FAI in the injury group [59.8% (61/102) ] was significantly higher than that in the control group [39.2% (40/102)] ( P<0.05). Pearson correlation analysis showed that diagnoses of FAI by CAIT and by AJFAT were respectively correlated with ACL injury ( r=-0.159, P=0.023; r=-0.215, P=0.002). Conclusions:The incidence of FAI may be high in patients with ACL injury and there is a correlation between FAI and ACL injury.

The rates of gram-positive bacteria resistant to vancomycin, linezolid and teicoplanin were still low. MRSA accounted for 39.15%.

As the development of functional and molecular imaging,PET/CT gradually becomes one of methods in optimizing cancer radiotherapy treatment planning.Currently,numerous hospitals routinely use 18F-FDG PET/CT for the delineation of target volume in esophageal carcinoma (EC).However,the validity of 18F-FDG PET/CT in the delineation of target volume for EC is limited and needs further clinical validation.This review focuses on the value and validity of 18F-FDG PET/CT in the delineation of gross tumor target volume of EC primary lesions and regional lymph nodes.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of thromboprophylaxis with low molecular weight heparin after lumbar decompressive surgery.Methods Between January 2004 and April 2011,patients who had undergone lumbar decompressive surgery and had high or very high risk of venous thrombosis were selected.All patients received subcutaneous injection of low molecular weight heparin (Fraxiparine),starting at 6 hours after surgery with a half dose and subsequently once every 24 hours with full dose until discharge.When 24-hour drainage volume was less than 50 ml,the drainage tube was removed 2 hours prior to low molecular weight heparin administration.The occurrences of deep venous thrombosis (DVT),pulmonary embolism (PE),bleeding complications and side effects were recorded.Results Seventy eight patients were enrolled in the study.The average time of drug use was 8.5 days.No symptomatic DVT,PE and major bleeding events occurred.Drainage tube was placed in all patients except 3 patients with lumbar disc herniation.The mean total drainage volume was (319.5±218.5) ml,and the average time from operation to removal of drainage tube was (43.2±14.4) hours.Incision site ecchymosis occurred in 1 patient,incision bleeding in 1 patient,mild elevation in hepatic aminotransferase levels in 4 patients,and mild anaphylaxis in 1 patient.Conclusion It is effective and safe to prevent VTE with low molecular weight heparin for patients with high or very high risk of venous thrombosis after lumbar decompressive surgery.

Objective To retrospectively analyze pulmonary function changes after growing rod surgery for progressive early-onset scoliosis.Methods Ten cases of progressive early-onset scoliosis treated with growing rod technique from September 2002 to July 2011 were enrolled in the study.There were 3males and 7 females,aged from 6 to 9 years (average,7.0±1.1 years).Four patients had finished the final fusion surgery (Group fusion),and 6 patients (Group non-fusion) were in the process of periodic lengthening.Forced vital capacity (FVC),FVC/predicted FVC ratio,forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1),FEV1/predicted FEV1 ratio,Cobb’s angle,and C7-S1 distance before each surgery were recorded.Lung function changes and correlations between lung function changes and radiographic changes (Cobb’s angle and C7-S1 distance) were analyzed.Results In Group fusion,both FVC and FEV1 increased,and FVC showed a significant difference.In Group non-fusion,FVC and FEV1 also increased and both showed a significant difference.FVC/predicted FVC ratio and FEV1/predicted FEV1 ratio both changed similarly and did not show statistical differences in the two groups.There were no significant correlations between lung function changes and radiographic changes (Cobb’s angle and C7-S1 distance).Conclusion Pulmonary function improves after growing rod surgery for progressive early-onset scoliosis.The pulmonary function changes do not correlate with changes of Cobb’s angle and C7-S1 distance.

Objective To investigate the outcome between endoscopically assisted and routine anterior transposition of the ulnar nerve for treatment of cubital tunnel syndrome.Methods From Februray 2008 to June 2010, forty-four patients with cubital tunnel syndrome were treated with routine anterior subcutaneous transposition (routine group,28 cases) and endoscopically assisted anterior subcutaneous transposition (endoscope group,16 cases).The operate time,drug administration,scar and postoperative hospital stay were compared.The patients were followed 1-12 month postoperatively,postoperative time back to work and function of ulner nerve were recorded.Results The results of endoscope group were as follows: operative time was (67.20 ± 19.69)min; postoperative scar length was (1.5％ ± 0.58) cm; rate of administration of anodyne was 6.3％; postoperative hospital stay was (2.4％ ± 1.42) days; postoperative time back to work,(14.6 ± 4.69)days; the results of open surgery group were as follows:operative time (62.8％ ± 11.06) min; postoperative scar length was (8.7％ ± 1.42) cm; rate of administration of anodyne was 42.8％; postoperative hospital stay was (5.7％ ± 2.53) days; postoperative time back to work was (29.40 ± 8.75) days; all differences of the results were significant between two groups (P ＜ 0.05).According to function of ulner nerve scoring system,one year postoperatively, excellent or good results were 82.14％ in routine group and 81.25％ in endoscope group,no significant difference between two groups (P ＞ 0.05). Conclusion Compared with routine anterior transposition of the ulnar nerve,endoscopically assisted anterior transposition has the following advantages: smaller incision and less tissue damage,less postoperative pain and sooner returning to work.And similar outcome was achieved from the two group.

Objective To investigate the effect of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) on the synthesis of extracellular matrixc (ECM)and expression of chondromodulin in human intervertebral disc cells. Methods 4 intervertebral discs (IVDs) obtained from patients in thetreatment of disc degenerative disease were used for cell culture. The secondary generation of intervertebral disc cells were cultured for 7days, then different concentration of bFGF (0, 0.1 ng/ml, 1 ng/ml, 10 ng/ml)were added to the medium and treated for 72 hours. Real-timeRT-PCR was used to detect the change of Aggrecan and type Ⅱ collagen mRNA expression. The effect of FGF on the expression of ChM-1,a cartilage derived anti-angiogenic factor, was also used by means of Real-time RT-PCR and Western blot. Results Real-time RT-PCRshowed that bFGF can significantly inhibit the expression of Aggrecan and type Ⅱ collagen mRNA. Both Real-time RT-PCR and Westernblot showed that the expression of ChM-1 was down-regulated by administration of bFGF with dose-dependent way. Conclusion bFGFserves primarily as a catabolic factor and induce the angiogenesis in the process of intervertebral disc degeneration.
