Background and purpose:Follow-up data of 6 737 patients undergoing surgery for gastric cancer were collected based on hospital registration,and the 1-,3-and 5-years observed overall survival(OS)rates and disease-free survival(DFS)rates were analyzed to provide real-world research evidence for the prevention and control of gastric cancer and policy making in China.Methods:A total of 6 737 gastric cancer patients who underwent surgical treatment at Fudan University Shanghai Cancer center from 2015 to 2020 were included in this study.Clinical information and the follow-up endpoint data were collected through medical records review,telephone visits and death registry data linkage.The last follow-up date was November 30,2023.Kaplan-Meier method was applied in evaluating the 1-,3-and 5-year OS rate and DFS rate,and survival data were described by different subgroups including age group,gender,treatment period,tumor staging,and pathological characteristics.Results:With a median follow-up time of 50.99 months,the 5-year OS rate of surgically resected gastric cancer patients was 70.37%,and 5-year DFS rate in Ⅰ-Ⅲ stage cases was 69.46%.The 5-year OS rates of stage Ⅰ,Ⅱ,Ⅲ and Ⅳ were 94.32%,82.56%,51.01%and 23.97%,respectively.The differences in survival among patients with different age,tumor location,gross classification,Borrmann classification and Laurence classification were significant.Conclusion:Staging is an important factor directly affecting the survival of gastric cancer patients.Screening and early diagnosis and treatment in large population,especially high-risk group,should be strengthened to further improve the patients'survival.

Background and purpose:Effective treatment for cervical cancer patients is one of the global strategies to eliminate cervical cancer.By analyzing the metastasis characteristics and survival status of patients with distant metastasis of cervical cancer from a hospital-based cancer registry data,our study provided real-world evidence for better survival of cervical cancer and finally eliminating cervical cancer.Methods:A total of 572 cervical cancer patients who had metastasis cancer at the initial diagnosis or developed distant metastasis during follow-up in Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center from 2008 to 2017 were included in this study.Medical records review,telephone visits and death registry data linkage were applied in collecting endpoint data.The first follow-up date was the diagnose date of metastasis,and the last follow-up date was November 1,2020.Kaplan-Meier method was applied in evaluating the 1-,3-and 5-year overall survival(OS)rates for overall and site-specific patients.Results:The median follow-up time was 38.93 months,and 348 cases died during the follow-up.72.55%were single site metastasis,and 27.45%were multiple metastases.Among all metastatic sites,the proportion of lung metastasis was the highest,41.26%,15.21%to bone,and 11.54%to liver.After metastasis,the 1-year,3-year and 5-year OS rates were 62.29%(95%CI:62.25-62.33),33.13%(95%CI:33.08-33.18)and 23.42%(95%CI:23.37-23.47),respectively.In single site metastasis,1-year OS was the highest after metastasis to the lung(72.52%).Besides,there was no significant difference among different metastatic sites,both in 3-year and 5-year OS.Conclusion:The most frequent distant metastatic sites of cervical cancer are lung,bone and liver.The survival rate after metastasis is poor.Further research with systematic treatment strategy is required for better survival.

Neck dissection(ND)is one of the main treatment methods for oral and maxillofacial malignancies.Although ND type is in con-stant improvement,but intraoperative peal-pull-push injury of the accessory nerve,muscle,muscle membrane,fascia and ligament induced shoulder syndrome(SS)is still a common postoperative complication,combined with the influence of radiochemotherapy,not only can cause pain,stiffness,numbness,limited dysfunction of shoulder neck and arm,but also may have serious impact on patient's life quality and phys-ical and mental health.At present,there is still a lack of a systematic evaluation and rehabilitation management program for postoperative SS of oral and maxillofacial malignant tumors.Based on the previous clinical practice and the current available evidence,refer to the relevant lit-erature at home and abroad,the experts in the field of maxillofacial tumor surgery and rehabilitation were invited to discuss,modify and reach a consenusus on the etiology,assessment diagnosis,differential diagnosis,rehabilitation strategy and prevention of SS,in order to provide clinical reference.

Objective To investigate the relationship between systemic immune-inflammation index(SII),red blood cell distribution width(RDW),albumin(ALB)ratio(RAR)and severity of disease and respiratory failure in patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(AECOPD).Methods A total of 110 patients with AECOPD were divided into the severe group(n=37)and the non-severe group(n=73).They were also divided into the respiratory failure group(n=26)and the non-respiratory failure group(n=84)according to whether they had respiratory failure.Platelet count(PLT),neutrophil count(NEU),lymphocyte count(LYM),RDW,ALB,SII and RAR were compared between different groups.Multiple Logistic regression method was used to analyze influencing factors of severe and concurrent respiratory failure.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves were plotted to analyze the predictive value of indicators for severe condition and respiratory failure.Results Compared with the non-severe group,there were increased NEU,SII,RDW and RAR,and decreased PLT and LYM in the severe group(P＜0.05).Compared with the non-respiratory failure group,there were increased NEU,SII,RDW and RAR,and decreased LYM and ALB in the respiratory failure group(P＜0.05).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that increased SII and RAR were independent risk factors for severe condition or respiratory failure in patients with AECOPD.ROC curves indicated that the area under the curve(AUC)of SII combined with RAR for predicting severe condition and respiratory failure in patients with AECOPD were 0.882(0.806-0.935)and 0.908(0.837-0.954),both of which were higher than those of SII or RAR alone(P＜0.05).Conclusion Combination of SII and RAR can effectively help to evaluate the condition and the occurrence of respiratory failure in patients with AECOPD.

OBJECTIVE To analyze the clinical and genetic features of 10 unrelated patients with duplications of 15q11q13 region and autism features.METHODS Karyotyping,chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) were carried out for the patients and their parents.RESULTS Eight patients presented with a supernumerary marker chromosome (SMC) of unknown origin by G-banding analysis and triplication of the 15q11q13 region by high-resolution CMA analysis. Two remaining patients had normal karyotypes but duplications of the 15q11q13 region. All duplications have encompassed the Prader Willi/Angelman syndrome critical region (PWACR). Similar gains in copy number were not detected among the parents of the patients,suggesting a de novo origin for them. Analysis of SNP-array data of the family trios using Chromosome Analysis Suite Software found that the copy number gains have originated from the mothers.The diagnosis of 15q11q13 duplication syndrome was ascertained. For patients with SMC detected by karyotyping analysis,a FISH assay using probes specific for the 15q11q13 region showed that such SMC also derived from chromosome 15q11q13 region and contained two copy numbers, which was consistent with the result of CMA.CONCLUSION Ten patients with autism and 15q11q13 duplications were identified with combined karyotyping, CMA and FISH analysis. A phenotype - genotype correlation was established.

Objective: To summarize the clinical effects of Shuxuening Injection on diseases and evaluate the quality of evidence to provide reference for the clinical application of Shuxuening Injection. Methods: Journal articles and conference papers were retrieved from the databases CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, CBM, EMbase, Pubmed and Cochrane with thematic word"Shuxuening"in Chinese and English, then all forms of clinical studies were screened and the disease types and frequency were analyzed, the dominant disease types of Shuxuening Injection were identified. Futhermore, RCT was extracted, and the literature quality was graded using the cochrane manual recommendation method, and its effectiveness and safety were evaluated.

These researches appeared with the highest frequency of the three diseases were cerebral infarction and its aftermath, angina pectoris and coronary heart disease, diabetes mellitus and its complication. A total of 337 RCT articles were included, all of which were of poor quality. In general, the efficiency of Shuxuening Injection treatment group was significantly higher than that of the control group, with a total efficiency of 84.48％. There were 21.96％ references to adverse reactions, but all of them were minor adverse reactions, such as pruritus, which generally got better by itself or after treatment. Conclusion:Shuxuening Injection has a wide range of clinical application and remarkable effect, especially for the ischemic diseases of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases with good efficacy, less adverse reactions and safety. However, the quality of evidence is generally poor, which needs further study.

Facial and vocal expressions are essential modalities mediating the perception of emotion and social communication. Nonetheless, currently little is known about how emotion perception and its neural substrates differ across facial expression and vocal prosody. To clarify this issue, functional MRI scans were acquired in Study 1, in which participants were asked to discriminate the valence of emotional expression (angry, happy or neutral) from facial, vocal, or bimodal stimuli. In Study 2, we used an affective priming task (unimodal materials as primers and bimodal materials as target) and participants were asked to rate the intensity, valence, and arousal of the targets. Study 1 showed higher accuracy and shorter response latencies in the facial than in the vocal modality for a happy expression. Whole-brain analysis showed enhanced activation during facial compared to vocal emotions in the inferior temporal-occipital regions. Region of interest analysis showed a higher percentage signal change for facial than for vocal anger in the superior temporal sulcus. Study 2 showed that facial relative to vocal priming of anger had a greater influence on perceived emotion for bimodal targets, irrespective of the target valence. These findings suggest that facial expression is associated with enhanced emotion perception compared to equivalent vocal prosodies.
