[摘 要] 目的：探讨复发/转移性鼻咽癌（NPC）接受含PD-1单抗免疫治疗的临床特征和预后影响因素。方法：回顾性分析2019年3月至2024年7月期间南部战区总医院确诊的95例NPC患者的临床资料和外周血生化及免疫学指标。预后分析采用Kaplan-Meier曲线，组间比较使用Log-rank检验，采用Cox比例风险模型进行单因素和多因素分析。结果：95例患者中男性81例，女性14例，中位年龄49.72岁（16~74岁），Ⅳ期91例（95.79%），所有患者均采用免疫治疗，联合或不联合化疗方案治疗，中位无进展生存期（mPFS）为10.5个月，客观缓解率（ORR）70.53%，疾病控制率（DCR）89.47%，接受含铂治疗方案患者PFS相对更长，且差异有统计学意义。紫杉醇 + 顺铂 + 氟尿嘧啶（TPF）对比吉西他滨 + 顺铂（GP）和紫杉醇 + 顺铂（TP）显示出更长的PFS，但差异无统计学意义。不同PD-1单抗治疗组间的PFS未显示出有统计学意义的差异。单因素及多因素Cox回归分析结果显示，肿瘤复发状态、初始血浆EBV感染状态、治疗周期数、基线外周血SII是复发/转移性NPC患者接受PD-1抑制剂治疗疗效预测的独立相关因素（均P < 0.05），并且非复发患者、初始血浆EBV DNA阳性、接受 ≥ 4治疗周期、基线外周血SII < 772.81的患者接受PD-1抑制剂治疗预后相对更好。结论：在接受PD-1抑制剂治疗的复发/转移性NPC患者中，非复发患者、初始血浆EBV DNA阳性、≥ 4治疗周期且外周血SII < 772.81者PFS相对更长，可早期识别免疫治疗效果不佳患者并精准干预。

It is proposed that yangming （阳明） turbid heat and dysfunction of the chong and ren （冲任） vessels are the key pathogenesis underlying abnormal uterine bleeding caused by polycystic ovary syndrome （PCOS）. The general principle of treatment is to clear and drain the yangming channel and resolve turbid heat. During the acute bleeding phase， the approach is to clear heat， cool the blood， consolidate the chong vessel， and stop bleeding. During the chronic phase， the focus shifts to resolving phlegm and removing stasis， unblocking and purging qi movement. And during the late stage， the method of boosting qi and nourishing yin， consolidating the root and regulating menstruation is suggested. In clinical practice， the self-formulated Yishen Quzhuo Formula （益肾祛浊方） serves as the foundation， with flexible modifications and adjustments made according to disease stage and individual clinical presentation.

BACKGROUND:Titanium implants are widely used in clinical practice because of their high strength and good biocompatibility.However,during implantation,bacterial infection and tissue damage environment produce a large number of reactive oxygen species,which can easily lead to delayed tissue healing and surgical failure.Consequently,the development of titanium implants with antimicrobial and antioxidant properties becomes paramount. OBJECTIVE:Considering the potent antimicrobial attributes of copper ions and the remarkable antioxidant qualities of polyphenols,we proposed the fabrication of polyphenol-mediated copper ion coatings on titanium surfaces.These coatings were subsequently assessed for their in vitro antimicrobial and antioxidant properties. METHODS:Nanostructures were generated on the titanium surface using the alkali thermal method.The titanium was immersed in a solution containing tannic acid and copper ions to achieve polyphenol-mediated copper ion coatings.The surface morphology and water contact angle were detected.The loading and release of copper ions were examined using atomic absorption spectroscopy.Staphylococcus aureus was inoculated on the surface of pure titanium sheet(blank group),alkali heat treated titanium sheet(control group),and polyphenol mediated copper ion modified titanium sheet(experimental group)to observe the bacterial survival status.Osteoblast precursor cells MC3T3-E1 were co-cultivated on the surface of three groups of titanium sheets to assess their antioxidant properties and bioactivity. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Scanning electron microscopy showed that the polyphenol-mediated copper ion modified titanium sheet had rod-like nanostructures and no cracks on the surface.The surface hydrophilicity of copper ion modified titanium sheet mediated by polyphenol was close to that of pure titanium sheet.Atomic absorption spectrometry results showed a 51%increase in the loading capacity of copper ions after polyphenol mediation,with a uniform release of copper ions.(2)The antibacterial rates of titanium sheets in the blank group,control group,and experimental group were 0%,21.65%,and 93.75%,respectively.The live/dead staining and CTC staining showed that the live bacteria on the surface of titanium plates in the blank group were the most,and the live bacteria on the surface of titanium plates in the experimental group were the least.(3)The results of live/dead staining and CCK-8 assay showed that the three groups of titanium sheets had good cytocompatibility,and the titanium sheets in the experimental group were more conducive to the proliferation of MC3T3-E1 cells.Active oxygen fluorescence probe detection exhibited that compared with the other two groups,the fluorescence intensity of active oxygen on the surface of the experimental group was significantly reduced.The results of alkaline phosphatase and alizarin red S staining showed that the osteogenic differentiation and extracellular matrix mineralization of MC3T3-E1 cells on the surface of titanium sheets in the experimental group were stronger than those in the other two groups.(4)These results show that the polyphenol-mediated copper ion coating has strong antibacterial and antioxidant properties and promotes osteogenic differentiation.

Objective: Previous studies have discovered a correlation between cigarette smoking and cortical thickness and surface area, but the causal relationship remains unclear. The objective of this investigation is to scrutinize the causal association between them. Methods: To derive summary statistics from a genome-wide association study (GWAS) on cortical thickness, surface area, and four smoking behaviors: 1) age of initiation of regular smoking (AgeSmk); 2) smoking initiation (SmkInit); 3) smoking cessation (SmkCes); 4) cigarettes per day (CigDay). Linkage disequilibrium score regression (LDSC) was employed to examine genetic association analysis. Furthermore, for traits with significant genetic associations, Mendelian randomization (MR) analyses were conducted. Results: The LDSC analysis revealed nominal genetic correlations between AgeSmk and right precentral surface area, left caudal anterior cingulate surface area, left cuneus surface area, left inferior parietal surface area, and right caudal anterior cingulate thickness, as well as between CigDay and left caudal middle frontal surface area, between SmkCes and left entorhinal thickness, and between SmkInit and left rostral anterior cingulate surface area, right rostral anterior cingulate thickness, and right superior frontal thickness (rg=-0.36–0.29, p<0.05). MR analysis showed a unidirectional causal association between left caudal middle frontal surface area and CigDay (βIVW=0.056, pBonferroni=2×10-4). Conclusion Left caudal middle frontal surface area has the potential to serve as a significant predictor of smoking behavior.

Background/Aims: This study assessed the long-term efficacy and safety of tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) in real-world settings. Methods: Patients who were candidates for TAF treatment and were followed up at 12-week intervals over 192 weeks were enrolled in this study. Results: One hundred and forty-four patients (50 treatment-naive and 94 treatment-experienced) were included in this study. The cumulative incidence rates of cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma at 192 weeks were 3.9% and 0.7%, respectively. In treatment-naive patients, the rates of a virological response, HBeAg conversion, and HBsAg loss at 192 weeks were 100%, 33.3%, and 2%, respectively. The treatment-naive patients exhibited higher baseline HBsAg levels than the treatment-experienced patients (4.31 log10IU/mL vs. 3.97 log10IU/mL). A significant decrease in the HBsAg levels from the baseline was observed at 144 and 192 weeks in the treatment-naive patients (p=0.01). The baseline body mass index (BMI) <25 kg/m2 (p=0.02) and HBsAg <3.3 log10IU/mL (p=0.04) were identified as predictive factors for a decrease in HBsAg ≥0.5 log10IU/mL at 48 weeks. The eGFR levels were consistently lower in the treatment-experienced patients throughout the study. Although the treatment-naive patients showed no abnormal increases in urinary URBP, the treatment-experienced patients showed elevated urinary β2MG and NAG levels at the baseline, which decreased over the treatment course. The total cholesterol, triglyceride, and low-density lipoprotein levels were similar in both groups. Conclusions Prolonging the TAF treatment duration enhances the virological response rate. The decline in HBsAg levels was more significant in the treatment-naive patients than in the treatment-experienced patients. The baseline BMI <25 kg/m2 and HBsAg <3.3 log10IU/mL were predictive factors for a significant decline in HBsAg at 48 weeks. TAF has high renal safety and no significant impact on lipid levels.

Objective To survey the free influenza vaccination status and willingness among the elderly in Deqing County,Zhejiang Province,and analyze the influencing factors.Methods Based on population data and the electronic medical system of Deqing County,the influenza vaccine coverage from 2018 to 2022 after the implementation of the free influenza vaccination policy was calculated.A proportional stratified random sampling method was used to select elderly individuals aged 60 and above from six streets/towns in Deqing County.A questionnaire survey was conducted to assess influenza vaccination behaviors from 2020 to 2022 and vaccination willingness for the 2023 influenza season.The chi-square test and logistic regression were used to analyze potential factors associated with vaccination behavior and subsequent willingness among the elderly.Results An average of influenza vaccines for the elderly per year were 56.2 thousand,with influenza vaccination coverage rate of 46.16%in average over the five years.Among 729 subjects,the vaccination rate increased from 69.3%in 2020 to 75.3%in 2022,and 81.9%of them were willing to receive influenza vaccines in the next flu season.Logistic regression analysis revealed that individuals with agricultural household registration(OR=3.05,95%CI:1.82-8.99),lower education levels(OR=2.82,95%CI:1.15-6.93),awareness of the free vaccine policy(OR=4.65,95%CI:1.82-11.91),and belief in vaccine efficacy(OR=6.61,95%CI:3.20-13.61)had higher vaccination rates.Factors associated with a more positive vaccination willingness included an annual household income of<150 thousand CNY(OR=1.65,95%CI:1.04-2.60),awareness of the free vaccine policy(OR=3.07,95%CI:1.84-5.12),perceived vaccine efficacy(OR=4.39,95%CI:2.77-6.96),and perceived vaccine safety(OR=1.57,95%CI:1.01-2.43).The main reasons for non-vaccination were concerned about the side effects of the vaccine(37.9%),thoughts that they were in good health and did not need to be vaccinated(30.3%),and influenza vaccines were ineffective(21.2%).The main reasons for vaccination were to protect themselves(89.1%),vaccination was free(65.5%)and to protect their families(60.6%).Conclusion The elderly in Deqing County had a relatively high influenza vaccination rate and follow-up vaccination willingness rate,but there still existed a gap to reach at target rate recommended by WHO.The local government should strengthen health education related to influenza vaccine knowledge,and publicize free vaccination policy to improve the vaccination rate and willingness in next season.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of two different approaches:direct anterior approach(DAA)and posterolateral approach(PLA)in total hip arthroplasty(THA).Methods:This study adopted a retrospective cohort study design,included to analyse 128 cases of THA patients who were received in our hospital from January 2021 to January 2024.Patients were divided into PLA group(n=61)and DAA group(n=67)according to different approach methods.Perioperative indicators,Harris hip joint function score,anteversion and abduction angles of acetabular prosthesis and incidence of complications were compared between the two groups.Results:Compared with PLA group,DAA group had longer surgical time,less intraoperative blood loss,shorter surgical incision length and shorter postoperative hospital stay(P＜0.05).Compared with the PLA group at 1 month(T2)to 6 months(T4)after surgery,DAA group had higher Harris hip joint function score(P＜0.05).Conclusion:Compared with PLA,DDA is used in THA,although the surgery time is longer,it can achieve a similar recovery effect in anteversion and abduction angles,which helps to shorten the surgical incision length and postoperative hospital stay,reduce intraoperative blood loss and achieve better hip joint function recovery.

Toxin-antitoxin(TA)systems serve as central hubs of bacterial adaptive regulation and play critical roles in the pathogenesis of Mycobacterium tuberculosis(M.tb)and Bordetella pertussis(B.per-tussis).This review summarizes the functional evolution and therapeutic potential of TA systems in M.tb and B.pertussis.It systematically outlines the molecular mechanisms and pathogenic functions of TA sys-tems in these two pathogens.M.tb relies on type Ⅱ TA systems(e.g.,VapBC,MazEF)to drive persis-ter formation and antibiotic tolerance through toxin-mediated ribonuclease activity that cleaves host nucle-ic acids or DarT/DarG-mediated DNA modification.In contrast,B.pertussis utilizes a unique tempera-ture-sensing PhtA/PhtB system to release adenylate cyclase toxin,which targets the host cAMP signaling pathway to achieve immune evasion.Both pathogens employ TA toxins to suppress host defenses-such as VapC cleaving tRNA and RelE degrading NF-κB components.Their high-frequency mutation sites(e.g.,the VapC47-Ser46Leu mutation frequency＞50 000 in M.tuberculosis)reveal strong positive selec-tion pressure,closely associated with persister phenotypes and virulence evolution.This review further discusses therapeutic strategies,including small-molecule inhibitors targeting toxin-antitoxin interactions,TA-deletion attenuated vaccines,and antitoxin-based immunization approaches.Finally,it highlights the need for future research to elucidate TA-host interaction networks and develop nanocarrier delivery tech-nologies to advance breakthroughs in precision therapy for tuberculosis and pertussis.

Objective To comprehensively and systematically evaluate the clinical effect of Chuanzhi Tongluo capsule combined with western medical treatment in patients with cerebral infarction using meta-analysis.Methods Domestic databases were searched,including China Knowledge Network,Wanfang,and Wipu databases,and foreign databases were mainly PubMed.The qualified literature was screened according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria,and was evaluated using the software of RevMan5.3 and Stata14.0 after quality assessment.Results Eight randomized controlled trials(RCTs)on the combination of Chuanzhi Tongluo capsule and western medicine were included,with a total of 728 patients with cerebral infarction,among which 365 cases were in the group of Chuanzhi Tongluo capsule combined with western medicine and 363 cases were in the group of western medicine alone.The results were analyzed in terms of the total effective rate,neurological deficit score such as the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale(NIHSS),daily living scores,such as the Barthel Index and Activities of Daily Living(ADL)scores and inflammation level(Inflammatory mediator IL-6,ultrasensitive C-reactive protein)as the outcome indexes.Meta-analysis results showed that the total effective rate[95%CI,1.18(1.12,1.25),P<0.00001],neurological function impairment score[95%CI,-1.37(-2.08,-0.67),P=0.0001],daily life score[95%,0.88(0.51,1.25),P<0.00001],and inflammation level[95%CI,-0.75(-0.96,-0.54),P<0.00001]were better than those of the control group and showed significant differences.The incidence of adverse events[95%CI,0.89(0.37,2.15),P=0.80],and the difference was not statistically significant with that of western medicine treatment alone.Conclusion Compared with the control group which only used western medicine,the treatment effect of Chuanzhi Tongluo capsule combined with western medicine in the treatment of cerebral infarction is more significant,and the combined treatment can improve the neurological function of the patients,enhance the quality of daily life,and reduce the level of inflammation more effectively.

Objective To compare the effects of microvascular decompression(MVD)and percuta-neous balloon compression(PBC)on inflammatory factors,neurotransmitters,oxidative stress and prognosis in the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia(TN).Methods A total of 130 elderly TN patients admitted in Department of Neurosurgery of Baoding First Hospital from June 2021 to June 2023 were enrolled,and according to surgical approaches,they were divided into MVD group(64 patients)and PBC group(66 patients).The following indicators were compared between the two groups,including immediate postoperative clinical efficacy,operation time,length of hospital stay,incidence of complications,recurrence rate 1 year after surgery,serum inflammatory factors(Il-1β,IL-6,TNF-α),oxidative stress indicators(MAD,SOD,GSH-Px),and serum neurotrans-mitter[calcitonin gene-related peptide(CGRP),substance P,5-HT].Results There was no sig-nificant difference in remission rate between the MVD group and PBC group(98.4％vs 97.0％,P＞0.05).But the MVD group had obviously longer operation time and length of hospital stay,and lower incidence of complications than the PBC group(P＜0.01).Serum levels of IL-1β,IL-6,TNF-α and MAD in the MVD group at 6 h after operation were significantly higher while SOD and GSH-Px levels were significantly lower than those in the PBC group(P＜0.01).Compared with the levels before surgery,both groups had significantly increased serum levels of IL-1β,IL-6,TNF-α and MAD but reduced SOD,GSH-Px,CGRP and substance P levels at 6 h after surgery,declined IL-1β,IL-6 and TNF-α levels at 3 d after surgery,and elevated serum 5-HT level but de-creased CGRP and substance P levels at 1 month after surgery(P＜0.05).No statistical difference was seen in pain recurrence rate between the two groups at 1 year after surgery(X2=1.781,P=0.182).Conclusion Both MVD and PBC are effective treatments for senile trigeminal neuralgia,and can regulate the inflammatory factor and neurotransmitter levels.MVD has the advantage of lower incidence of postoperative complications,while PBC is superior in less trauma,shorter oper-ation time and hospital stay.
