Objective:To compare the efficacy and adverse events of induction chemotherapy combined with radiotherapy alone (IC+ RT) and induction chemotherapy combined with concurrent chemoradiotherapy (IC+ CCRT) for nasopharyngeal carcinoma in the era of intensity-modulated radiation therapy in this Meta-analysis.Methods:Retrospective or randomized controlled clinical studies published between 2010 and 2020 were searched from the Cochrane Library, PubMed, and Web of Science databases. The selected studies included nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients treated with IC+ CCRT or IC+ RT. STATA 12 software was used to combine the hazard ratio (HR), risk ratio (RR) and 95% confidence interval (CI), and random or fixed effect models were used for statistical analysis.Results:A total of 2483 patients from eight retrospective studies were included. The overall survival in the IC+ CCRT group was similar to that in the IC+ RT group ( HR=0.78, 95% CI: 0.58-1.04, P=0.091). However, the distant metastasis-free survival ( HR=0.56, 95% CI: 0.42-0.74, P<0.001) and progression-free survival ( HR=0.65, 95% CI: 0.54-0.77, P<0.001) were improved in the IC+ CCRT group compared with those in the IC+ RT group. In terms of adverse reactions, the acute adverse reactions in the IC+ CCRT group were increased significantly compared with those in the IC+ RT group. Conclusions:In the treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma, the overall survival of two treatment modes is similar, but the distant metastasis-free survival and progression-free survival in the IC+ CCRT group are better than those in the IC+ RT group, whereas the incidence of adverse reactions is also increased. IC+ CCRT may be a recommended treatment for nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients, but more research is needed.

OBJECTIVE:To explo re the potential molecular mechanism of ursolic acid in the treatment of osteoporosis (OP). METHODS:TCMSP,PubMed database and UniProt database were used to screen potential targets of monomer compound ursolic acid. OP related target genes were searched with GeneCards database. The common target genes of component-disease were obtained by Venny 2.1 online mapping tool. The protein-protein interaction (PPI)network of component-disease common target genes was constructed by using STRING database ,and topological analysis was carried out ;the core target genes ,whose degree value was greater than the average degree value ,were screened. GO functional annotation and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis of component-disease common target genes were carried out by DAVID database. AutoDock Vina 1.1.2 software was used for molecular docking ,using protein encoded by the core target gene as receptor and ursolic acid as ligand. RESULTS :A total of 55 ursolic acid related target genes and 4 273 OP related target genes were excavated ,with a total of 44 common target genes. PPI network with above common target genes included 44 nodes and 513 edges,with an average node degree of 23.3. There were 24 core target genes ,including VEGFA,TP53,IL6,CASP3. There were 340 GO functional items were enriched (corrected P< 0.05),including 263 biological processes (negative regulation of apoptosis ,etc.),25 molecular functions (protein binding ,etc.) and 52 cell components (cytosol,etc.). There were 90 KEGG signaling pathways (corrected P<0.05),such as tumor pathway , hepatitis B pathway ,TNF signaling pathway ,viral carcinogenesis and phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase/protein kinase B (PI3K-Akt) signaling pathway. The binding energy between ursolic acid and 6 proteins encoded by core target genes such as TP53 was lower than -5 kcal/mol,which had strong binding activity. CONCLUSIONS :The therapeutic effect of ursolic acid on OP may be achieved by regulating VEGFA,TP53,IL6,CASP3,JUN and other core target genes and acting on multiple key pathways such as cancer pathway , hepatitis B and TNF signaling

Currently, the definition, classification and Chinese nomenclature of intra-hepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) are controversial. Whether ICC belongs to liver cancer or carcinoma of bile duct is debatable, and the two terms"intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma"and"cholangiocellular carcinoma"are simultaneously used without distinction, bringing great confusions to clinical practice. Based on authoritative literatures at home and abroad, the authors give suggestions on the definition, classification and Chinese nomenclature of ICC, as well as the classification of carcinoma of bile duct, which recommend that the Chinese translation of "cholangiocarcinoma" should be "epithelial carcinoma of bile duct (cholangiocellular carcinoma)", the mass-forming type ICC should be classified as primary liver cancer, naming as"intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma"and the periductal-infiltrating type and intraductal-growing type ICCs still be classified as carcinoma of bile duct, naming as"perihilar cholangiocarcinoma". The authors recommend to classify carcinoma of bile duct into: perihilar cholangiocarcinoma, hilar cholangiocarcinoma, and distal cholangiocarcinoma.

Since December 2019, novel coronavirus pneumonia (NCP) has been reported in Wuhan, Hubei Province, and spreads rapidly to all through Hubei Province and even to the whole country. The virus is 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV), never been seen previously in human, but all the population is generally susceptible. The virus spreads through many ways and is highly infectious, which brings great difficulties to the prevention and control of NCP. Based on the needs of orthopedic trauma patients for emergency surgery and review of the latest NCP diagnosis and treatment strategy and the latest principles and principles of evidence-based medicine in traumatic orthopedics, the authors put forward this expert consensus to systematically standardize the clinical pathway and protective measures of emergency surgery for orthopedic trauma patients during prevention and control of NCP and provide reference for the emergency surgical treatment of orthopedic trauma patients in hospitals at all levels.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) accounts for approximately 75%-85% of primary liver cancer cases and is one of the most frequently diagnosed malignancies worldwide. Immunotherapy is currently considered to be the most promising treatment to prevent the progression and postoperative recurrence of HCC. At present, the treatment strategies of immunotherapy for HCC are classified as active immunotherapy and passive immunotherapy, including tumor vaccine therapy, immune checkpoint inhibitors, and adoptive cell therapy. Here we review the current clinical progression and discuss the future perspective on immune therapy for HCC.

Objective To investigate the expressions of Wnt3a and Wnt5a in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) and their clinical significances. Methods Immunohistochemical SABC method was used to detect the expressions of Wnt3a and Wnt5a proteins in PTC tissues and their paracancerous tissues collected from 79 patients in Dandong First Hospital from January 2014 to June 2018, and the relationships between the expressions of Wnt3a and Wnt5a proteins and clinicopathological features of PTC patients were analyzed. The expressions of Wnt3a and Wnt5a proteins in 10 pairs of fresh PTC tissues and paracancerous tissues were detected by Western blot. Results The results of immunohistochemistry showed that the positive expression rates of Wnt3a and Wnt5a proteins in PTC tissues were significantly higher than those in paracancerous tissues [69.6% (55/79) vs. 25.3% (20/79), 60.8% (48/79) vs. 20.2% (16/79)], and the differences were statistically significant (χ 2 values were 31.092 and 26.894, both P < 0.01). The results of Western blot showed that the expressions of Wnt3a and Wnt5a proteins in 10 pairs of fresh PTC tissues was significantly higher than those in paracancerous tissues(1.61±0.40 vs. 0.43±0.14, 1.38±0.291 vs. 0.36±0.13), and the differences were statistically significant (t values were 16.234 and 13.493, both P < 0.01). The expressions of Wnt3a and Wnt5a in PTC tissues were correlated with TNM stage, differentiation, extramembranous invasion and lymph node metastasis (Wnt3a: χ2 values were 6.645, 15.945, 8.783 and 11.220; Wnt5a: χ2 values were 21.525, 7.611, 17.880 and 12.581, all P < 0.05), but not with patients'age, sex and tumor diameter (all P > 0.05). There was a positive correlation between Wnt3a and Wnt5a proteins expressions in PTC (r = 0.597, P < 0.01).Conclusion The abnormal expressions of Wnt3a and Wnt5a proteins in PTC may be related to the development of PTC.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the relationship of the function and gene polymorphism of insulin receptor substrate (IRS) with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and to provide a new perspective for T2DM drug development. METHODS: Relevant literatures included in CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, PubMed, SpringerLink and other databases from Jan. 1991 to Nov. 2017 were retrieved by using "Insulin receptor substrate" "Type 2 diabetes" "Insulin resistance" "Polymorphism" as Chinese keywords, and "Insulin receptor substrate" "IRS" "Type 2 diabetes" "Insulin resistance" "Polymorphism" as English keywords. The relationship of the function and gene polymorphism of IRS family with T2DM was reviewed. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS: A total of 328 literatures were retrieved, of which there were 38 valid literatures. At present, IRS family has six members (IRS-1 to IRS-6). The dysfunction of IRS-1 and IRS-2 will lead to insulin resistance and induce T2DM. The relationship of IRS-3 and IRS-4 with T2DM remains controversial. IRS-5 and IRS-6 were newly found and their functions are not clear. The Gly972Arg mutation of IRS-1 is positively correlated with the pathogenesis of T2DM. Gly1057Asp mutation of IRS-2 combined with obesity can induce insulin resistance, but there is controversy. The mutation types of IRS family other members include Ala94Thr, Ala512Pro and Ser892Gly mutation of IRS-1, ACC, Ala157Thr and Leu647Val mutation of IRS-2. The relationship between these types of mutation and T2DM has not yet been fully supported. Multiracial and large-scale studies are required. Some achievements have been made in the present study, but the study is not yet comprehensive. Relationship of IRS family members and their mutation sites with T2DM still needs to be further tested in the expanded population.

OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for rational selection of antibiotics against non-fermentative Gram-negative bacilli in clinic. METHODS:Etiological data of clinical isolated Pseudomonas aeruginosa(PA),Acinetobacter baumanii(AB) and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia(SM)were collected from the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University(called"our hospital"for short)during Jan. 2004-Dec. 2016. Drug resistance of them to commonly used antibiotics was analyzed retrospectively. RESULTS:Totally 15 587 strains of PA,7 446 strains of AB and 2 950 strains of SM were detected. Resistance rates of PA to commonly used antibiotics fluctuated but were in a decreasing tendency. Except for imipenem,resistance rates of PA to commonly used antibiotics decreased significantly,and resistance rates of PA to amikacin and gentamicin decreased to 4.60% and 7.48%, respectively. Resistance rates of AB to most commonly used antibiotics were more than 40%,but it was sensitive to tigecycline (drug resistance of 0-4.03%). Resistance rates of SM to cefoperazone sodium and sulbactam sodium increased from 3.03% in 2004 to 39.01% in 2016,but it was sensitive to sulfamethoxazole,minocycline and levofloxacin. CONCLUSIONS:Non-fermentative Gram- negative bacilli detected in our hospital are mainly PA. Resistance rate of PA to most of the antibiotics is declining;drug resistance of AB is severe;resistance rates of SM to cefoperazone sodium and sulbactam sodium show increasing tendency.Above 3 non-fermentative Gram-negative bacilli are sensitive to amikacin,tegocycline and minocycline. Clinical selection should be based on the results of drug sensitivity test.
