OBJECTIVE: To systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety for different infusion schemes of large-dose (>500 mg/m2) of methotrexate in the treatment of osteosarcoma, and to provide evidence-based reference for clinical treatment. METHODS: Retrieved from Medline, Embase, clinicaltrials.gov, CJFD, Wanfang database and CBM database, observational studies and randomized/non-randomized controlled trials about therapeutic efficacy and safety for different infusion schemes (different doses and infusion time) of large-dose of methotrexate in the treatment of osteosarcoma were included during the establishment of the database to Mar. 2018. After data extraction and quality evaluation with methodological evaluation index of the Newcastle-Ottawa scale, Cochrane 5.1.0 bias risk evaluation tool and non-randomized controlled trials, Meta-analysis or descriptive analysis for blood drug concentration (c), related toxicity (e.g. incidence of hepatotoxicity, incidence of hemotoxicity) were performed by using Rev Man 5.3 software. RESULTS: Totally 5 studies were included, involving 310 cases. Results of Meta-analyses indicated c0 h [MD=-240.11, 95%CI(-271.47, -208.75), P<0.001], c24 h [MD=-0.09, 95%CI (-0.11, 0.08), P<0.001], c48 h [MD=-0.07, 95%CI (-0.10, -0.05), P<0.001], c72 h [MD=-0.05, 95%CI (-0.06, -0.03), P<0.001] and the incidence of liver toxicity [OR=0.26, 95%CI (0.10, 0.67), P<0.005] in 8 g/m2 group were significantly lower than 10 g/m2 group. Results of descriptive analysis showed that when both groups were given 8 g/m2, c24 h of patients with 2 and 4 h infusion time was significantly lower than that of patients with 6 h infusion time. The incidence of leukopenia and thrombo- cytopenia in 8 g/m2 group was significantly lower than 10 g/m2 group. CONCLUSIONS: In the treatment of osteosarcoma with high-dose of methotrexate, appropriate dosage reduction (e.g. 8 g/m2) and appropriate prolongation of infusion time (e.g. 6 h) may lead to a better efficacy and safety.

The widespread application of next generation sequencing (NGS) in clinical settings has enabled testing, diagnosis, treatment and prevention of genetic diseases. However, many issues have arisen in the meanwhile. One of the most pressing issues is the lack of standards for reporting genetic test results across different service providers. The First Forum on Standards and Specifications for Clinical Genetic Testing was held to address the issue in Shenzhen, China, on October 28, 2017. Participants, including geneticists, clinicians, and representatives of genetic testing service providers, discussed problems of clinical genetic testing services across in China and shared opinions on principles, challenges, and standards for reporting clinical genetic test results. Here we summarize expert opinions presented at the seminar and report the consensus, which will serve as a basis for the development of standards and guidelines for reporting of clinical genetic testing results, in order to promote the standardization and regulation of genetic testing services in China.

OBJECTIVE: To systematically evaluate the effects of MTHFR, RFC1 and MDR1 gene polymorphisms on high- dose methotrexate-induced ADR in osteosarcoma patients, and to provide evidence-based reference for individual medication of high-dose of methotrexate. METHODS: Retrieved from Medline, Embase, clinical trials.gov, CNKI, Wanfang database and CBM, cohort studies about the association of MTHFR C677T/A1298C, RFC1 G80A, MDR1 C3435T gene polymorphisms with high-dose methotrexate-induced ADR were collected. After data extraction of clinical studies met inclusion criteria, and quality evaluation with the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale, Meta-analysis and descriptive analysis were performed for outcome indexes as the incidence of high-dose methotrexate-induced ADR (hematotoxicity and myelosuppression, hepatotoxicity, nephrotoxicity, oral mucositis, digestive tract toxicity and overall adverse events) with Rev Man 5.3 and Microsoft Excel 2016 software. RESULTS: Totally 8 cohort studies involving 608 patients were included; 6, 5, 4 and 2 studies reported outcome indexes related to MTHFR C677T/A1298C, RFC1 G80A and MDR1 C3435T gene polymorphisms respectively. Meta-analysis and descriptive analysis showed that MTHFR C677T gene polymorphism was significantly associated with the risk of G3-4 renal toxicity [TT/CT vs. CC: OR=12.35, 95%CI=(3.28,46.42), P<0.001], G3-4 oral mucositis [T vs. C: OR=2.04, 95%CI=(1.06,3.93), P=0.03], oral mucositis [(TT vs. CT/CC: OR=2.27, 95%CI=(1.20,4.27), P=0.01] and renal toxicity (P<0.05); MTHFR A1298C gene polymorphism was associated with G3-4 hepatotoxicity, G3-4 nephrotoxicity and G3-4 oral mucositis, without statistical significance (P>0.05). There was no significant correlation between RFC1 G80A polymorphism and hemotoxicity, hepatotoxicity, nephrotoxicity and digestive tract toxicity (P>0.05). MDR1 C3435T polymorphism was significantly correlated with oral mucositis (P<0.05), but not with hematotoxicity and hepatotoxicity (P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS: MTHFR C677T mutation can increase the risk of high-dose methotrexate-induced ADR. There is no significant association between MTHFR A1298C polymorphism and high-dose methotrexate-induced ADR. There are few studies on RFC1 G80A or MDR1 C3435T polymorphism and high-dose methotrexate-induced ADR, and their association is unclear.

Generative artificial intelligence (GAI) refers to AI technology capable of generating new content such as text, images, or audio from training data. GAI tools not only demonstrate rapid and efficient potential in literature screening, data extraction, and literature appraisal in systematic reviews, but can also be used for guideline evaluation and dissemination, enhancing the readability and promotion efficiency of guidelines. However, the accuracy of content generated by GAI tools, the rationality of cited evidence, the level of evidence, and the reliability of data still need verification. Additionally, data privacy protection and ethical issues are challenges that need to be addressed. This article aims to overview the current status of GAI tools in the formulation, evaluation, dissemination, and implementation of guidelines, explore the feasibility and new models of GAI tools in the field of guidelines, and improve the efficiency and quality of guideline formulation to better serve guideline developers and users.
