Objective:To evaluate the objective response rate (ORR) of induction chemoimmunotherapy with camrelizumab plus TPF (docetaxel, cisplatin, and capecitabine) for locally advanced hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LA HSCC) and potential predictive factors for ORR.Methods:A single-center, prospective, phase 2 and single-arm trial was conducted for evaluating antitumor activity of camrelizumab+TPF(docetaxel+cisplatin+capecitabine) for LA HSCC between May 21, 2021 and April 15, 2023, patients admitted to the Eye & ENT Hospital affiliated with Fudan University. The primary endpoint was ORR, and enrolled patients with LA HSCC at T3-4N0-3M0 received induction chemoimmunotherapy for three cycles: camrelizumab 200 mg day 1, docetaxel 75 mg/m 2 day 1, cisplatin 25 mg/m 2 days 1-3, and capecitabine 800 mg/m 2 days 1-14. Patients were assigned to radioimmunotherapy when they had complete response or partial response (PR)>70% (Group A), or assigned to surgery plus adjuvant radiotherapy/chemoradiotherapy when they had PR≤70% (Group B), and the responses were defined by using tumor volume evaluation system. Tumor diameter was also used to assess the treatment responses by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1. Use SPSS 23.0 software was used to analyze the data. Results:A total of 51 patients were enrolled who underwent the induced chemoimmunotherapy for three cycles, and all were males, aged 35-69 years old. After three cycles of induction immunochemotherapy, 42 (82.4%) patients existed in Group A (complete response or PR>70%) and 9 patients (17.6%) in Group B (PR≤70%), the ORR was 82.4%. The primary endpoint achieved expected main research objectives. Compared to the patients of Group A, the patients of Group B showed the higher T stage and the larger volume of primary tumor before induced immunochemotherapy, and also had the less regression of tumor volume after induced immunochemotherapy (all P<0.05). The optimal cutoff value of pre-treatment tumor volume for predicting ORR was 39 cm 3. The T stage ( OR=12.71, 95% CI: 1.4-112.5, P=0.022) and the volume ( OR=7.1, 95% CI: 1.4-36.8, P=0.018) of primary tumor were the two main factors affecting ORR rate of induction chemoimmunotherapy. Conclusion:The induction chemoimmunotherapy with camrelizumab plus TPF shows an encouraging antitumor efficacy in LA HSCC.

OBJECTIVE：To study the effect of isofla vaspidicacid PB （called PB for short ）on the biofilm adhesion and the gene expression of ergosterol metabolism related enzymes in Trichophyton rubrum . METHODS ：M38-A2 method was adopted to determine MIC of PB to T. rubrum . MTT assay was used to screen the biolfilm condition and initial adhesion period of T. rubrum . The effects of different concentrations of PB （40，80，160 µg/mL）on the adhesion duration of T. rubrum （growth control group without PB was set up ，similarly hereinafter ）were evaluated and the adhesion rate was calculated by using XTT assay ；the effects of different concentrations of PB （20，40，80 µg/mL）on the biofilm formation of T. rubrum at different initial adhesion periods （3，5，9 h）were observed and the adhesion rate was calculated by using XTT assay combined with inverted microscope ；qRT-PCR method was used to detect the effects of PB （320 µg/mL）on the mRNA expression of ergosterol metabolism related enzyme gene ERG6 and ERG11 in biofilm of T. rubrum . RESULTS ：MIC of PB to T. rubrum was 20 µg/mL. The biofilm of T. rubrum in RPMI-1640 medium containing 10％ FBS was the most metabolism activity at 6 h of initial adhesion. Compared with growth control group ，after treated with different concentrations of PB ，adhesion rate and mRNA expression of ERG6 and ERG11 in biofilm were decreased significantly （P＜0.01）. Hyphae decreased or even disappeared ，and the adhesion inhibition rate （at 5 and 9 h of initial adhesion ）increased significantly （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. CONCLUSIONS ：PB can inhibit the adhesion of T. rubrum and reduce the hyphae ；the mechanism may be associated with the inhibition of the biofilm adhesion and mRNA expression of ergosterol metabolism related enzyme gene ERG6 and ERG11.

Objective: To analyze the role of school based symptom monitoring system in public health emergencies in Hangzhou, to provide the basis for prevention and control strategies for public health emergencies in schools. Methods: Data regarding school public health emergencies in Hangzhou in 2019 were collected from the Public Health Emergencies Report Management Information System, and data regarding public health early warning in schools were collected from the Hangzhou School Symptom Monitoring System. The usage of school symptom monitoring system was analyzed by SAS 9.0 software, and the positive warning events and public health emergencies were compared and analyzed, the rate and composition ratio were compared with the χ 2 test, the number of cases was compared with the non parameter rank and the Mann Whitney test, and the trend test was conducted using Cochran Armitage test. Results: In 2019, the average use rate of the city s school symptom monitoring system was 54.65%, the average response rate of automatic early warning was 70.68%, and the use rate (χ 2=860.79, p<0.01) and automatic early warning response rate (χ 2=1 615.91，P<0.01) of school systems varied greatly by region. In 2019, 161 positive early warning incidents were detected through the school symptom monitoring system, 197 public health emergencies were reported through the emergency network, and fewer public health emergencies were reported in areas where more positive warning events were detected(Z=10.65，P<0.01). The proportion of disease category in positive warning events was different from that in public health emergencies in(χ 2=28.33, P<0.01). The number of cases of positive early warning events of the same disease was much lower than the number of cases of public health emergencies without warning, and the time of positive warning signals was on average 4 days ahead of the time of receiving the report of public health emergencies. Conclusion Smartphone based school symptom monitoring system in Hangzhou plays a sentinel role in public health emergencies prevention and control in schools.

Objective: To establish and implement a smartphone-based school syndromic surveillance system, and to provide references for school communicable disease control and prevention. Methods: A smartphone-based school syndromic surveillance system was constructed and applied. A list of seven symptoms including fever, cough, vomit, diarrhea, rash, red eye and parotid swelling was classified as targeted indicators. Spatio-temporal permutation scanning was applied to automatic early warning. Results: A total of 1 973 school joined the syndromic surveillance system. System usage rate was 54.13%, no significant differences were found among different types of schools(χ2=1.58, P=0.67), whereas significant differences were observed among counties（χ2=726.78, P<0.01). Totally, 852 036 pieces of symptoms data were reported during September 2018 to March 2019, the primary symptoms included cough (35.17%) and fever (21.11%). Time trends in different symptoms varied with time, with fever and cough highest in January, vomit and diarrhea in November. Thirteen pieces of early warning were confirmed as school communicable diseases by field investigation, the average number of the infected students were four. Conclusion The smartphone-based school syndromic surveillance system is generally acceptable. Characteristic seasonal distributions of school communicable diseases are reflected accurately by surveillance system which plays an active role in prevention and control of school communicable diseases.

Objective To compare vein valve function following pharmacomechanical thrombolysis (PMT) with simple catheter-directed thrombolysis (CDT) for deep vein thrombosis. Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of sixty patients who suffered acute lower extremity deep vein thrombsis in our hospital between October 2016 and March 2017. All patients underwent contralateral preprocedural duplex and bilateral postprocedure duplex to access patency and valve function. The patients were divided into three groups including a group A with catheter-directed thrombolysis (CDT) alone (36 patients with 20 males and 16 females at average age of 56 years), a group B with PMT alone (15 patients with 8 males and 7 females at average age of 55 years), and a group C with PMT combined CDT (9 patients with 4 males and 5 females at average age of 56 years). The valve function was compared among the Group A, Group B and Group C. Results There were 40.0% (24/60) patients with bilateral femoral vein valve reflux, 40.0% (24/60) patients with unilateral femoral vein valve reflux (all in the treated limbs), 20% (12/60) patients had no reflux in both limbs. Of the limbs treated with CDT alone, PMT alone and PMT combined CDT, the rate of valve reflux was 38.9% (14/36), 33.3% (5/15), and 55.6% (5/9) respectively (P=0.077). Conclusion In the patients suffering acute DVT, PMT or PMT combined CDT does not hamper valve function compared with CDT alone.

Objective To investigate the role of interleukin-22 (IL-22)-regulated autophagy in hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 )-induced hepatocarcinoma cell damage. Methods HepG2 cells were transfected with pEGFP-LC3 and then cultured in RPMI 1640 medium free of fetal bovine serum (FBS) or containing 1％ or 10％ FBS. These cells were pretreated with rapamycin or an autophagy inhibitor (3-MA) and then stimulated with recombinat human IL-22 (rhIL-22). GFP-LC3 puncta formation and autophagy signaling ac-tivation were measured. MTT assay was performed to detect cell viability. Results rhIL-22 significantly promoted GFP-LC3 puncta formation and LC3-Ⅱ expression in HepG2 cells treated with different stimulation protocols. The autophagy pathway inhibitor, 3-MA, dramatically suppressed the rhIL-22-activated autophagy signals. rhIL-22 attenuated H2 O2-mediated HepG2 cell death and that could be inhibited by 3-MA. Conclu-sion IL-22 promoted the activation of autophagy signaling pathways and alleviated H2 O2-mediated HepG2 cell damage.

BACKGROUND:The traditional orthopedic fixation by C-arm positioning surface is completed, but the large C-arm injury on the human body and the long fixed time increase the suffering of patients. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the X-ray fixed in position within the orthopedic implants, navigation and effect. METHODS:Twenty-six New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided into C-arm machine group and X-ray group, with 13 in each group. Rabbits in both groups were used to simulate soft tissue foreign body localization, intramedul ary nail implantation at distal fracture end and spinal pedicle screw entry point position. In the C-arm machine group, positioning navigation was conducted with C-arm machine. In the X-ray group, X-ray positioning navigation was used. The positioning and navigation effects were compared between the two groups. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) Compared with the C-arm machine group, the time required for navigation in the X-ray group targeting soft tissue foreign body localization, fracture distal locking intramedul ary nail implantation and pedicle screw spinal needle point location was significantly shorter (P<0.05);navigation displacement and deviation produced were significantly less (P<0.05). (2) These findings suggested that the X-ray positioning for orthopedic fixation method is relatively simple, with high availability, and can obtain a high performance-price ratio. Meanwhile, the X-ray localization can improve accuracy and shorten the fixed time.

OBJECTIVE To clarify the long-term toxicity to the respiratory system in a rat model of acute lung injury (ALI) induced by a single low-dose of perfluoroisobutylene(PFIB) inhalation expo?sure,and observe the possible beneficial effect of early intervention via Qingkailing(QKL) injection. METHODS Totally 224 male Wistar rats were randomly divided into 4 groups:normal control group in which air exposure was followed by a saline 10 mL · kg-1(ip),QKL control group in which QKL 10 mL · kg-1 was ip given after air exposure,PFIB exposure group in which rats were exposed to PFIB 280 mg·m-3 for 5 min only,and QKL treatment group in which QKL 10 mL·kg-1 was given ip at 1 h after PFIB exposure. Lung functions of rats were measured at 24 h,3,6,12,24,36 and 48 weeks after exposure. The arterial blood gas,lung coefficient,protein content in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid(BALF),hydroxy?proline(HYP) content in lung tissue and plasma,and other indicators were detected or analyzed. RESULTS Within 24 h after PFIB exposure,the lung coefficient and protein content in BALF were increased significantly(P<0.01),whereas the PaO2(P<0.01) and SaO2(P<0.05) indices in arterial blood decreased significantly in PFIB group compared with normal control. The inhalation time , exhalation time,tidal volume(TV),expired volume(EV)and relaxed time were reduced significantly (P<0.01). However,all the above indicators returned to normal in 3 weeks,but TV,EV and peak expiratory flow were significantly lower than in normal group at 48 weeks(P<0.05). HYP contents in lung tissues,compared with normal control(P<0.05),were reduced significantly within 24 h after PFIB exposure,increased significantly in 6 weeks(P<0.05),then returned to normal in 12 weeks. HYP contents in plasma increased significantly compared with normal control(P<0.05) within 24 h after PFIB exposure but returned to normal in 3 weeks. The protein contents in BALF of QKL treatment group were significantly lower than those in PFIB group(P<0.01) within 24 h after PFIB exposure. From 24 h to 24 weeks after PFIB exposure,changes of pulmonary functions were similar to those in PFIB group. At 48 weeks,TV and EV in QKL treatment group were more significantly increased than those in PFIB group(P<0.05). CONCLUSION Rats with ALI induced by a single low dose of PFIB exposure undergo compensatory repair except for pulmonary capacity and pulmonary ventilation functions. Early treatment with QKL reduces protein content of BALF and alleviates pulmonary edema,and has some beneficial effect on lung function recovery later.

BACKGROUND:In esophageal cancer chemotherapy, inhibiting proliferation of tumor cels and tumor stem cels can be effectively improved by using appropriate sensitive agents.
OBJECTIVE:To explore the effect of molybdenum on ECA-109 cel chemosensitivity and p75NTR cel inhibition in esophageal carcinoma cels.
METHODS:ECA-109 cels at logarithmic phase were selected and randomly divided into blank control group, cisplatin group, molybdenum group and molybdenum+cisplatin group (combination group). Molybdenum and cisplatin at different concentrations were used in the three groups. MTT assay was used to detect ECA-109 cel proliferation and growth; flow cytometry was used to detect the proportion of P75NTR cels.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Cisplatin at different concentrations showed a certain inhibitory role in ECA-109 cels, which had an increasing kiling effect on esophageal carcinoma stem cels at dose- and time-dependent manner. Molybdenum alone had no remarkable kiling effects on inhibiting ECA-109 proliferation and esophageal carcinoma stem cels. Combination of molybdenum and cisplatin was found to have an enhanced effect to inhibit ECA-109 cels and to kil esophageal carcinoma stem cels in a dose- and time-dependent manner, which was significantly different from the cisplatin group and blank control group (P < 0.05). These findings indicate that molybdenum can promote and enhance the inhibitory effect of cisplatin on ECA-109 and p75NTR cels, which can be used as a chemosensitizer.

Objective To investigate the significance of metastasis associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (MALAT1) in the occurrence and development of non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC).Methods Eighty-six NSCLC lung tissue samples and 86 corresponding adjacent tissues were collected.Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used to detect MALAT1 mRNA expression.The correlation analysis of the gender,age,carcinoma embryonic antigen (CEA),clinical stage,and the degree of differentiation was performed.Results MALAT1 expression levels showed an average 2.16-fold increase in NSCLC lung tissues(87.23 ±9.72) when compared with adjacent tissues(40.38 ± 5.49),the difference was statistically significant (t =7.894,P ＜ 0.01).There was no significant difference between gender,age,histological type,tumor diameter,CEA level in terms of MALAT1 expression (P ＞ 0.05).There was significant differences between pathological stage (Ⅰ stage =52.38％ (11/21),Ⅱ stage =76.00％ (19/25),Ⅲ stage =97.50％ (39/40),x2 =11.839,P =0.042),tumor differentiation (High differentiated =39.13％ (9/23),moderately differentiated =74.47％ (35/47),low differentiated =100％ (16/16),x2 =15.383,P =0.032)and lymph node metastasis (with =97.22％ (35/36),no =46.00％ (23/50),x2 =23.947,P =0.030).Conclusion MALAT1 might be involved in the development of NSCLC,and could be an auxiliary diagnosis marker.
