Objective:To explore the influencing factors for pathological upgrading in prostate cancer patients with a Gleason score of 3 + 3 undergoing targeted biopsy,and to establish a nomogram prediction model.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 191 patients with localized prostate cancer diagnosed with a Gleason score of 3 + 3 through targeted biopsies at the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from January 2020 to June 2024. The age of the patients was 67(61,73)years,with prostate-specific antigen(PSA)level of 7.44(5.53,10.19)ng/ml,prostate volume of 35.64(26.59,48.97)ml,and PSA density(PSAD)of 0.20(0.14,0.31)ng/ml 2. Among them,61 cases(31.94%)had a Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System(PI-RADS)score of 3,104 cases(54.45%)had a score of 4,and 26 cases(13.61%)had a score of 5. The diameter of the main lesion was 10.75(7.86,14.00)mm. The lesions were located in the peripheral zone in 78 cases(40.84%),the transition zone in 99 cases(51.83%),and the anterior fibromuscular stroma in 14 cases(7.33%). The lesions were found at the apex in 56 cases(29.32%),in the body in 120 cases(62.83%),and at the base in 15 cases(7.85%). MRI revealed only one lesion with a PI-RADS score ≥ 3 in 131 cases,two suspected lesions in 43 cases,three suspected lesions in 12 cases,and four suspected lesions in 5 cases. Systematic biopsy was positive in 121 cases(63.4%)and negative in 70 cases(36.6%). The lesions were confined to the left lobe in 63 cases(32.98%),right lobe in 68 cases(35.60%),and involved both lobes in 60 cases(31.41%). The interval between biopsy and surgery was 9.0(7.0,14.0)days. Univariate analyses were performed using Mann-Whitney U tests or χ2 tests,and multivariate logistic regression was used to identify independent predictors of pathological upgrading. A nomogram model was constructed based on these independent predictors. The model’s discriminative ability was assessed using the area under the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve(AUC),and internal validation of the model’s consistency was conducted using the bootstrap resampling method. Decision curve analysis(DCA)was performed to assess clinical utility. Results:Among the 191 cases,60(31.4%)had no pathological upgrading after surgery,while 131(68.6%)showed upgrading. Univariate analysis showed that the maximum diameter of the main lesion[9.0(6.0,13.2)mm vs. 11.0(8.4,14.0)mm],number of suspicious lesions on MRI[1.0(1.0,1.0)vs. 1.0(1.0,2.0)],number of positive systematic biopsy cores[1.0(0,2.0)vs. 1.0(0,3.0)],percentage of positive systematic biopsy cores[0.08(0,0.17)vs. 0.12(0,0.25)],number of positive targeted biopsy cores[2.0(1.0,3.0)vs. 3.0(1.0,4.0)],percentage of positive targeted biopsy cores[0.37(0.24,0.75)vs. 0.50(0.38,0.85)],level of the index lesion,location of the index lesion,and PI-RADS score were associated with pathological upgrading( P < 0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that PI-RADS score 4( OR = 5.88,95% CI 2.41 - 14.35),number of suspicious lesions on MRI( OR = 4.15,95% CI 1.88 - 9.17),location of the index lesion in the transition zone( OR = 6.86,95% CI 2.81 - 16.73),and percentage of positive targeted biopsy cores( OR = 4.37,95% CI 1.38 - 14.90)were independent risk factors for pathological upgrading( P < 0.05). The nomogram model constructed using these predictors had an AUC of 0.845. Internal validation using the Bootstrap method yielded an AUC value of 0.812,indicating high predictive accuracy of the model. The calibration curve indicated good calibration. Decision curve analysis showed that the threshold range for net benefit in the model was between 12% - 100%. Conclusions:The PI-RADS score 4,the number of lesions with PI-RADS ≥ 3,the location of the main lesion in the transition zone,and the percentage of positive needles in targeted biopsy are independent risk factors for pathological upgrading from Gleason score 3 + 3. The nomogram model constructed from these factors demonstrates good predictive performance and provides a reference for clinical decision-making.

OBJECTIVE To provide a reference for accurately identifying and treating adverse reactions of osteonecrosis induced by bevacizumab. METHODS Clinical pharmacists participated in the treatment process of an adult patient with glioma who developed femoral head necrosis after the use of bevacizumab. By searching the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) and consulting relevant literature and drug instructions, the association between femoral head necrosis and bevacizumab was assessed. Medication recommendations were provided to the physician, and medication educations were provided to the patient. RESULTS The association between the patient’s femoral head necrosis and bevacizumab was assessed as “possibly related”. The physicians accepted the clinical pharmacists’ advice to discontinue bevacizumab and switched to anlotinib to continue antitumor treatment. The patient also followed the clinical pharmacists’ advice to avoid prolonged standing. Upon re-examination, the patient’s pain symptoms were under control, and the femoral head necrosis had not progressed. CONCLUSIONS Patients who receive long-term bevacizumab should attach great importance to bone pain and osteonecrosis, undergo regular imaging examinations, and detect and treat symptoms early to prevent the occurrence of severe osteonecrosis.

Objective:To analyze the demands of contracted family doctor service among uncontracted young and middle-aged people in Shanghai Baoshan.Methods:An online questionnaire survey on demands of contracted family doctor service was conducted in June 2021 among 702 uncontracted residents aged 18-60 years from Shanghai Baoshan district selected by stratified random sampling method. The demands of contracted family doctor service, including digital health file, routine laboratory tests and imaging investigation;health promotion;service convenience; home service were surveyed, and the factors related the demands were analyzed with regression analysis.Results:The survey showed that the demands of service convenience (3.8(3.0, 5.0)) and home service (4.0(3.0, 5.0)) were higher, while those of digital health file (3.0(2.0, 5.0)) and health promotion (3.0(2.0, 5.0)) were relatively lower. There were significant differences in the demands of all five contracted services among residents with different gender, age, education level, household register and family income (all P<0.05); while for young residents with different types of medical insurance there was significant difference in demands of all contracted services except digital health file (all P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis indicated that female( OR=1.83, P<0.001), high educational level( OR=4.81, P=0.019), household registered in Shanghai( OR=1.80, P=0.004)had higher demand for service convenience; female gender( OR=1.68, P=0.001), high educational level( OR=4.56, P=0.023)had higher demand for home service demands. Conclusion:The demands for contracted family doctor services are different among the uncontracted young and middle-aged people in Baoshan district, while the service convenience is generally most demanded. The study indicates that the contracted family doctor service should be provided accordingly.
