1.Awareness and associated factors of food safety among students in medical colleges and universities in Shandong Province
Chinese Journal of School Health 2019;40(8):1159-1161
Objective:
To understand the status of awarences and the influencing factors of food safety among medical students in Shangdong Province,and to provide a reference for improving a healthy eating habit among students on their knowledge about food safety,attitude and behavior.
Methods:
A total of 2 322 students from 2 medical colleges and universities in Shandong province selected through stratified cluster sampling were investigated with questionnaires.
Results:
Univariate analysis of variance showed that food safety knowledge differed by gender, grade, major, origin of student, whether learned nutrition knowledge, monthly cost on food (χ2/H=20.48, 128.02, 98.61, 36.50, 77.60, 171.03,P<0.01). In multiple Logistic regression analysis, results showed that gender, major,origin of student, monthly cost on food and the attention of food affect college students’ food safety awareness (P<0.05).
Conclusion
Food safety awareness among medical students in Shandong Province is relatively high but varies by multiple factors. It is necessary to improve food safety awareness of medical students through various channels.

Objective:To review the clinicopathological characteristics and analyze the prognostic factors of hepatoid adenocarcinoma of stomach(HAS).Methods:From August 2012 to June 2017,30 patients with HAS were diagnosed in Daycare of Peking University Cancer Hospital.Clinicopathological data and follow-up information of these patients were retrospectively collected and analyzed.Re-sults:The median age of these 30 patients was 58 years at diagnosis,with a male-to-female ratio of 2.75:1.Twenty-nine patients were confirmed to have lymph node metastases and 7 patients had distant metastases.Ten patients died because of the cancer within the follow-up period.The 1-and 3-year survival rates were 60% and 52%,respectively.Cox multivariate regression revealed that elevated serum CA199 levels,higher lymph node staging,not having undergone radical surgery,and stronger immunohistochemical(IHC)stain-ing intensity of alpha fetoprotein(AFP)were independent poor prognostic factors.Conclusions:Elevated serum CA199 levels,lymph node staging,and IHC staining intensity of AFP are verified in this study as independent risk factors of poor outcome in HAS patients. Early detection and diagnosis of the disease may improve the clinical prognosis.Multidisciplinary team discussions are important in making therapy decisions and radical surgery should be performed whenever possible.

Patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) usually present with poor prognosis and short survival period, and there has been a lack of effective treatment options for a long time. Chemotherapy has limited improvement in the clinical outcome of advanced patients (the median survival is less than one year), and it is difficult to find suitable targets for targeted therapy. Recent in-depth research on immunotherapy has changed the treatment pattern of MPM. Especially, the dual immunotherapy regimen significantly improved the survival outcome of patients across subgroups and prolonged the survival time of MPM patients. Therefore, it has been approved for unresectable MPM as first-line treatment for patients. The exploration of other mono or combo immunotherapy regimens in the first and second-line settings of MPM is also underway. How to identify the best beneficial population of each regimen through predictive biomarkers is also a hot spot for researchers. This article will focus on the most up-to-date progress of MPM epidemiology, histological characteristics, pathogenesis, treatment patterns and the advances of immunotherapy in the disease.

BACKGROUND:
Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and cellular-mesenchymal to epithelial transition factor (c-Met) are widely expressed on cancer cells. There is a synergistic effect of EGFR and HGF/c-Met pathways on proliferation, downstream activation of signal transduction and an additive effect. Studies show that combination of both signaling pathways could potentially be targeted in a synergistic fashion. Amivantamab, a bispecific monoclonal antibody targeting EGFR and c-Met, yielded robust and durable responses in a variety of clinicals trials. However, few researches have reported its efficacy in Chinese non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. This study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness and tolerance of Amivantamab in NSCLC patients with EGFR/MET gene abnormalities at Peking University Cancer Hospital.
METHODS:
The study enrolled NSCLC patients who received Amivantamab in our hospital between August 2020 and December 2021, and analyzed the response, survival, and treatment-related adverse events.
RESULTS:
Fifteen patients were enrolled in this research, and six of them received Amivantamab treatment and the other nine patients received Amivantamab plus Lazertinib treatment. The rates of partial response (PR), stable disease (SD), and progressive disease (PD) were 46.7% (7/15), 46.7% (7/15) and 6.7% (1/15), respectively. The overall response rate (ORR) and disease control rate (DCR) were 28.6% (2/7) and 100.0% (7/7) in seven patients with EGFR exon 20 insertion, respectively. The ORR and DCR were 40.0% (2/5) and 100.0% (5/5) in five post-osimertinib EGFR-mutant patients, respectively. After a median follow-up of 8.7 months, the median progression-free survival and overall survival were not reached. The most common treatment-related adverse events were rash (86.7%), paronychia (80.0%), and infusion-related reactions (60.0%), and most of them were graded as 1 to 2. Grade 3 to 4 adverse events included rash (33.3%), alanine aminotransferase elevation (13.3%), gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase elevation (13.3%), peripheral edema (6.7%), thromboembolism (6.7%), interstitial lung disease (6.7%), and thrombocytopenia (6.7%).
CONCLUSIONS
Amivantamab was effective in Chinese NSCLC patients with EGFR exon 20 insertion and post-Osimertinib EGFR-mutant patients, similar to the results of clinical trials conducted in western countries. Amivantamab was well tolerated and emphases should be put on adverse events such as rash, paronychia, and infusion-related reactions.
