We report a case of adult-onset Still's disease(AOSD)presenting with fever,myalgia,and pleural effusion.The patient exhibited significantly elevated inflammatory markers and exudative pleural effusion with markedly elevated leukocyte count showing neutrophilic predominance.After comprehensive exclusion of infectious etiologies,the diagnosis of AOSD was established.Clinical symptoms resolved following anti-inflam-matory therapy with glucocorticoids and tocilizumab.This case highlights a critical clinical insight:while infec-tion is a common cause of elevated inflammatory markers,it is not an invariable etiology.In such presentations,meticulous clinical observation,thorough diagnostic screening,and systematic inference are es-sential for accurate diagnosis.

Objective To analyze the relationship of capillary index score(CIS)with postoperative outcome in the patients with middle cerebral artery(MCA)M1 segment stenosis after endovascu-lar stent implantation.Methods A total of 122 eligible patients in our hospital from April 2021 to April 2023 were retrospectively recruited,and according to postoperative status,they were classi-fied into a good prognosis group(89 cases)and a poor prognosis group(33 cases).The clinical data were collected,and the preoperative and postoperative CIS values were evaluated.Spearman correlation analysis was applied to analyze the correlation of CIS with prognosis of the patients.ROC curve was plotted to evaluate the value of CIS in predicting postoperative prognosis,and multivariate logistic regression analysis was utilized to analyze the factors affecting the postopera-tive prognosis.Results The poor prognosis group exhibited significantly lower CIS,and larger proportions of aged ≥75 years,diabetes and history of stroke than the good prognosis group(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).Spearman correlation analysis found that CIS was positively correlated with prog-nosis after endovascular stent implantation in the patients with MCA M1 segment stenosis(r=0.446,P=0.000).ROC curve analysis revealed that the AUC,cut-off value,sensitivity and speci-ficity of CIS in predicting the postoperative outcomes in these patients was 0.790(95％CI:0.706-0.858),2.17,84.85％and 66.29％,respectively(P＜0.05).Multivariate logistic analysis suggested that age ≥75 years,history of stroke,and concurrent diabetes were high risk factors for poor prognosis in the patients after endovascular stent implantation(P＜0.05,P＜0.01),and CIS was a protective factor(OR=0.439,95％CI:0.294-0.655,P=0.000).Conclusion CIS is closely correlated with the prognosis of patients with MCA M1 segment stenosis after endovascular stent implantation.Early evaluation of CIS can provide certain predictive value for postoperative out-comes of these patients.

Objective:To investigate the clinical significance of monitoring SIL::TAL1 fusion transcripts in the evaluation of treatment response and prognosis of children with T-acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL).Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 46 newly diagnosed pediatric T-ALL with SIL::TAL1 fusion transcripts treated at Beijing Children′s Hospital Capital Medical University from November 2004 to December 2022. The SIL::TAL1 fusion transcripts were quantitatively detected at the initial diagnosis (TP0) and early stage of induction therapy (TP1), at the end of induction remission therapy (TP2), before consolidation therapy (TP3) and subsequent treatment. Patients were divided into negative and positive groups on SIL::TAL1 fusion transcripts level, differences of clinical features and survival among groups at TP0 to TP3 were analyzed. The χ2 test or Fisher exact test or Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare the clinical difference. Survival analysis was estimated by Kaplan-Meier method with Log-Rank testing. Multivariate analysis was conducted by Cox proportional hazards models. Results:Among the 46 children with SIL::TAL1 fusion transcripts, 36 were males and 10 were females, with the onset age of 6.8 (3.4, 9.5) years. The negative rates of SIL::TAL1 fusion transcripts for TP1,TP2, TP3, before delayed intensification Ⅰ treatment (TP4), before maintenance therapy (TP5) were 36% (13/36), 78% (32/41), 76% (32/42), 15/16, and 12/12, respectively. No significant difference was found on clinical features and prednisone response between groups at TP0-TP3 (all P>0.05). The 5-year events free survival (EFS) rate of patients classified as negative (32 cases) and positive (9 cases) groups at TP2 was (78±8)% and (33±16)%, respectively ( χ2=9.86, P=0.002), the 5-year overall survival (OS) rate was (81±7)% and (44±17)%, respectively ( χ2=6.40, P=0.011). The 5-year EFS rate of patients classified as negative (32 cases) and positive (10 cases) groups at TP3 was (78±8)% and (30±15)%, respectively ( χ2=13.04, P<0.001) and the 5-year OS rate was (84±6)% and (30±15)%, respectively ( χ2=15.95, P<0.001). Cox multivariate regression showed that positive of SIL::TAL1 transcript at TP3 was adverse independent prognostic factors for EFS and OS (EFS: HR=6.70, 95% CI 2.01-22.35, P=0.002; OS: HR=10.73, 95% CI 2.50-46.09, P=0.001). Conclusions:Monitoring SIL::TAL1 fusion transcripts can reflect the clinical treatment response. The level of SIL::TAL1 fusion transcripts at early period can predict long-term outcomes of these patients.

This research aims to construct a stable epithelial cell senescence model for screening and e-valuation of senolytics.We explored the optimal conditions for doxorubicin-induced senescence of non-transformed epithelial cells MCF 10A,including the optimal induction concentration,the optimal inter-vention time,and the optimal senescence duration,and confirmed the feasibility of MCF 10A as an epi-thelial senescence model by multiple ways.The optimal condition for Doxorubicin-induced senescence of MCF 10A cells was treatment with 0.6 μmol/L Doxorubicin for 16 h to achieve the best senescence state on the 8th day.Under the optimal induction conditions,the positive rate of senescence-associated β-gal-actosidase(SA-β-gal)staining in the treated group reached 97％.At the same time,biochemical results of detecting the expression of mRNA,proteins,and immunofluorescence demonstrated that the expression levels of senescence-associated secretory phenotype(SASP),p16,p21 and p53 in the treated group were significantly higher than those in the control cells,and Lamin B1 was significantly decreased(P＜0.001),which were consistent with the specific characteristics of senescence.In summary,an epithelial senescence model was successfully induced in MCF 10A cells by Doxorubicin in this study,which will promote the screening of senolytics for senescent epithelial cells.

Objective:To compare the safety and efficacy of transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) combined with donafenib and programmed death protein 1 (PD-1) inhibitors and TACE combined with donafenib in the treatment of unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (uHCC).Methods:Clinical data of 148 patients with uHCC treated at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from December 2021 to December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed, including 127 males and 21 females, aged (56.6±9.9) years. Patients were divided into two groups: the TACE combined with donafenib and PD-1 inhibitors group (TACE+ DP, n=73) and TACE combined with single donafenib (TACE+ D, n=75). The overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), and the occurrence of treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) of the two groups of patients were observed. Kaplan-Meier analysis was used for survival assessment, and the log-rank test was used for comparison. The related factors affecting the prognosis of patients were indentified and analyzed. Results:The median PFS of patients in the TACE+ D group and the TACE+ DP group were 7.2 months (95% CI: 5.7-8.3 months) and 10.5months (95% CI: 8.9-11.3 months), respectively. The median OS was 13.2 months (95% CI: 12.3-13.7 months) and 16.9 months (95% CI: 15.1-19.8 months), respectively. All these differences were statistically significant ( χ2=17.81, 26.92, respectively, both P<0.001). The ORR and DCR of TACE+ DP group were both higher than those in TACE+ D group [53.4% (39/73) vs 36.0% (27/75), χ2=4.55, P=0.031; and 90.4% (66/73) vs 77.3% (58/75), χ2=4.66, P=0.044]. No grade 4 or above adverse events occurred in either the TACE+ DP or the TACE+ D group. The most common treatment-related adverse events in TACE+ D and TACE+ DP group were hand-foot syndrome [46.7% (35/75) vs 49.3% (36/73)], hypertension [26.7% (20/75) vs 30.1% (22/73)], fatigue [22.7% (17/75) vs 24.7% (18/73)], diarrhea [26.7% (20/75) vs 28.8% (21/73)], and thrombocytopenia [25.3% (19/75) vs 28.8% (21/73)]. There was no significant difference in the incidence and severity of TRAEs between the groups ( χ2=0.08, P=0.774). TACE+ DP treatment was a favorable prognostic factor for PFS ( HR=0.33, 95% CI: 0.22-0.49, P<0.001) and OS ( HR=0.19, 95% CI: 0.11-0.33, P<0.001) of patients. Conclusion:Compared to TACE combined with donafenib, TACE combined with donafenib and PD-1 inhibitors, with good efficacy and safety, significantly improved the treatment response and survival in patients with uHCC.

Objective:To study the safety and feasibility of transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) combined with apatinib in the treatment of advanced hilar cholangiocarcinoma.Methods:Clinical data of 41 patients with hilar cholangiocarcinoma admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from November 2019 to October 2020 were prospectively collected, including 21 males and 20 females, aged (65.1±12.5) years. The drugs used for TACE were albumin paclitaxel and gemcitabine, which were performed once every four to six weeks for no more than six times. Apatinib were adminstered two days after each TACE. The primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR) and the secondary endpoints were progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS) and adverse events. Patients were followed-up by outpatient, inpatient or telephone review. Survival analysis was performed using the Kaplan-Meier method.Results:Hilar cholangiocarcinoma were confirmed in all 41 patients by pathology. All patients were treated with TACE for at least twice. Twenty-three patients achieved complete remission, 14 stable disease, and four partial remission, with an ORR of 56.1% and a disease control rate of 90.2%. The follow-up duration was (13.3±5.4) months without lost to follow-up. The median PFS was 9.0 months, the median OS was 14.0 months, the 1-year cumulative recurrence-free survival rate was 31.7%, and the 1-year cumulative survival rate was 65.9%. Treatment-related adverse events in this study were predominantly Clavien-Dindo grade 1 or 2, without grade 4 to 5.Conclusion:TACE combined with apatinib treatment could be safe and feasible for advanced hilar cholangiocarcinoma.
