[摘 要] 目的：系统评价CD19 CAR-T细胞免疫疗法对比标准治疗在复发/难治性弥漫性大B细胞淋巴瘤（R/R DLBCL）患者中疗效与安全性，通过探索性分析探索不同CAR-T细胞产品对疗效的潜在影响，为临床治疗决策提供循证参考。方法：计算机检索中国知网、万方数据库、维普期刊数据库、中国生物医学文献数据库、PubMed、Embase和Cochrane Library数据库，搜集CD19 CAR-T细胞疗法对比标准治疗用于R/R DLBCL的随机对照试验（RCT），检索时限均为建库至2025年10月25日。由2位研究者独立进行文献筛选、数据提取和质量评价，采用R4.2.2软件进行Meta分析。结果：共纳入2项Ⅲ期RCT研究（ZUMA-7、TRANSFORM），各结局指标均根据异质性检验结果选择固定效应模型合并数据。疗效方面，CD19 CAR-T细胞疗法可显著改善患者无事件生存期（HR=0.455，95%CI：0.363~0.570，P < 0.001）和降低死亡风险（HR = 0.738，95%CI：0.575~0.947，P = 0.017）；同时可显著提高完全缓解率（RR = 1.879，95%CI：1.574~2.242，P < 0.001）。按产品类型的探索性分析显示，liso-cel和axi-cel均优于标准治疗（liso-cel：HR = 0.380，95%CI：0.260~0.540，P < 0.001；axi-cel：HR = 0.510，95%CI：0.380~0.680，P < 0.001），但该分析为不同试验间的对比，证据等级有限。安全性结局显示：CAR-T细胞疗法的免疫效应细胞相关神经毒性综合征（ICANS）发生率显著升高（RR = 22.387，95%CI：4.353~115.132，P < 0.001）；≥3级细胞因子释放综合征（CRS）发生率数值升高（RR = 8.181，95%CI：0.935~71.574，P = 0.058），差异无统计学意义。纳入研究的偏倚风险整体为低；敏感性分析证实结果稳健。结论：基于2项RCT的Meta分析结果，CD19 CAR-T细胞（liso-cel/axi-cel）可作为R/R DLBCL二线治疗的选择之一，其疗效优于标准治疗，且特征性不良反应（CRS/ICANS）经规范管理后可控，可根据患者基线状态个体化选择CAR-T细胞产品。本研究证据基础薄弱，上述结论尚需更多高质量、大样本RCT验证。

Objective To introduce an innovative technique, the "balance-shaped sternal elevation device" and its application in the subxiphoid uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) for anterior mediastinal masses resection. Methods Patients who underwent single-port thoracoscopic assisted anterior mediastinal tumor resection through the xiphoid process at the Department of Thoracic Surgery, West China Hospital, Sichuan University from May to June 2024 were included, and their clinical data were analyzed. Results A total of 7 patients were included, with 3 males and 4 females, aged 28-72 years. The diameter of the tumor was 1.9-17.0 cm. The operation time was 62-308 min, intraoperative blood loss was 5-100 mL, postoperative chest drainage tube retention time was 0-9 days, pain score on the 7th day after surgery was 0-2 points, and postoperative hospital stay was 3-12 days. All patients underwent successful and complete resection of the masses and thymus, with favorable postoperative recovery. Conclusion The "balance-shaped sternal elevation device" effectively expands the retrosternal space, providing surgeons with satisfactory surgical views and operating space. This technique significantly enhances the efficacy and safety of minimally invasive surgery for anterior mediastinal masses, reduces trauma and postoperative pain, and accelerates patient recovery, demonstrating important clinical significance and application value.

BACKGROUND:We have successfully established an animal model of small ear pig in southern Yunnan province with internal tension relieving technique combined with autologous Achilles tendon for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction,and verified the stability and reliability of the model.However,whether internal tension relieving technique can promote the ligamentalization process of autologous Achilles tendon graft has not been studied. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the differences in the process of ligamentalization between conventional reconstruction and internal reduction reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament by gross view,histology and electron microscopy. METHODS:Thirty adult female small ear pigs in southern Yunnan province were selected.Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction was performed on the left knee joint with the ipsilateral knee Achilles tendon(n=30 in the normal group),and anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction was performed on the right knee joint with the ipsilateral knee Achilles tendon combined with the internal relaxation and enhancement system(n=30 in the relaxation group).The autogenous right forelimb was used as the control group;the anterior cruciate ligament was exposed but not severed or surgically treated.At 12,24,and 48 weeks after surgery,10 animals were sacrificed,respectively.The left and right knee joint specimens were taken for gross morphological observation to evaluate the graft morphology.MAS score was used to evaluate the excellent and good rate of the ligament at each time point.Hematoxylin-eosin staining was used to evaluate the degree of ligament graft vascularization.Collagen fibers and nuclear morphology were observed,and nuclear morphology was scored.Ultrastructural remodeling was evaluated by scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)The ligament healing shape of the relaxation group was better at various time points after surgery,and the excellent and good rate of MAS score was higher(P<0.05).Moreover,the relaxation group could obtain higher ligament vascularization score(P<0.05).(2)The arrangement of collagen bundles and fiber bundles in the two groups gradually tended to be orderly,and the transverse fiber connections between collagen gradually increased and thickened,suggesting that the strength and shape degree of the grafts were gradually improved,but the ligament remodeling in the relaxation group was always faster than that in the normal group at various time points after surgery.(3)The diameter,distribution density,and arrangement degree of collagen fibers in the relaxation group were better than those in the normal group at all time points,especially in the comparison of collagen fiber diameter between and within the relaxation group(P<0.05).

OBJECTIVE: To report on a case of mosaicism involving trisomy 21, maternal uniparental isodisomy, and normal diploid cells in uncultured amniocytes, and to explore the discrepancies between conventional cytogenetic and molecular cytogenetic techniques during prenatal diagnosis. METHODS: A 30-year-old pregnant woman who presented to Boai Hospital of Zhongshan on June 27, 2023 has undergone amniocentesis at 16 weeks of gestation. The amniotic fluid sample was subjected to quantitative fluorescent PCR (QF-PCR), G-banded karyotype analysis, and chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA). The discrepancies between the results of each method were analyzed. This study was approved by Medical Ethics Committee of Boai Hospital of Zhongshan (Ethics No.: KY-2024-001-01). RESULTS: Non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) at 12 weeks indicated a high risk of trisomy 21. QF-PCR of uncultured amniocytes revealed a pattern of trisomy 21. After one week of cell culture, G-banding analysis showed mos 47,XX,+21[1]/46,XX[72]. CMA revealed a homozygous state of chromosome 21 in cultured cells, while uncultured amniocytes showed mosaic trisomy 21 with an estimated proportion of 50%. These findings suggested a complex chromosomal mosaicism in the fetus, which may result from a trisomy rescue event during early embryogenesis, leading to coexistence of three cell lines including trisomy 21, maternal uniparental isodisomy, and normal diploid cells. CONCLUSION In prenatal diagnosis, discrepancies may arise between QF-PCR and conventional chromosomal karyotyping analysis, particularly in complex genetic phenomena such as trisomy rescue and uniparental disomy. For cases where NIPT indicated a high risk of trisomy 21 but G-banding karyotype analysis yielded a normal result, further molecular genetic testing using uncultured cells is recommended.

Objective To investigate the effect of fumigation decoction on the expression of aggrecan(AGG)and type Ⅱ collagen(COL2A1)in an intervertebral disc degeneration(IDD)model,and to gain an in-depth understanding of the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying traditional Chinese medicine fumigation therapy.Methods An IDD model was established using Sprague-Dawley rats by inducing disc injury via needle puncture.The rats were divided into three groups:normal control(CON),model(PUN),and fumigation(CHF).Only the CHF group received treatment with fumigation decoction for 4 weeks.Imaging analysis was conducted to assess the relative height of intervertebral discs,while Masson's trichrome staining was used to observe structural changes in the discs.The expression of NLRP3 inflammasome was detected by immunohistochemistry.Quantitative RT-PCR and Western blotting were employed to evaluate the expression levels of AGG and COL2A1 genes and proteins.Results A total of 12 rats were randomly divided into 3 groups,with 4 rats in each group.Compared with the CON group,disc height was significantly lost in the PUN group(P＜0.05),and disc height could be partially restored in the CHF group(P＜0.05).In the PUN group,the expression levels of AGG mRNA and COL2A1 mRNA and protein in the nucleus pulposus tissue were significantly lower than those in the CON group(P＜0.05).Compared with the PUN group,the CHF group showed significantly increased expression levels of AGG mRNA and COL2A1 mRNA and protein in the nucleus pulposus tissue(P＜0.05).Histological analysis revealed that,compared with the PUN group,the CHF group exhibited partial restoration of the gel-like properties of the nucleus pulposus and an increase in proteoglycan content.Additionally,NLRP3 expression in the nucleus pulposus tissue of the CHF group was markedly reduced.Conclusion Fumigation decoction treatment can enhance the expression of AGG and COL2A1 and decrease the expression of NLRP3 in IDD models,which may be one of its mechanisms for treating lumbar degenerative diseases.This research provides new insights into the treatment of IDD.

Objective:To explore the prognostic factors of seroma after endoscopic thyroidectomy by breast ap-proach,and construct a nomogram to predict the possibility of cervical seroma.Methods:Data of patients undergoing endoscopic thyroid surgery in Dongguan Tungwah Hospital from January 2022 to May 2024 and Dongguan Songshan Lake Tungwah Hospital from May 2023 to August 2024 were retrospectively analyzed,and 1493 patients meeting the in-clusion criteria were selected.Among them,there were 1048 patients in Dongguan Tungwah Hospital as the training co-hort,1015 patients without seroma group and 33 patients with seroma group.There were 445 patients in Dongguan Songshan Lake Tungwah Hospital as the verification cohort,including 424 patients without seroma and 21 patients with seroma.Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to obtain relevant independent prognostic factors,and R soft-ware established a nomogram model.Calibration curves,Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness of fit,ROC curves were used to evaluate the calibrability of the nomogram model,and clinical utility was assessed by clinical decision curves.Results:Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that central lymph node dissection,diabetes,hyperthyroidism,and nod-ule size were independent prognostic factors related to seroma.Based on the prognostic factors,the nomogram of se-roma after ETBA was constructed.The calibration curves of the training and the verification group were in good agree-ment with the observed results,and the Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness of fit test was good,with the training cohort P=0.244 and the verification cohort P=0.803.The ROC curve of the training cohort showed that the area under the curve was 0.810(95%CI:0.740～0.879),and the ROC curve of the verification cohort showed that the area under the curve was 0.815(95%CI:0.722～0.909).Conclusion:The nomogram model based on the relevant prognostic factors ob-tained by multivariate logistic regression analysis has a good prediction effect on the seroma after ETBA,and can provide reasonable and individualized treatment plan for patients.

ObjectiveTo analyze the evolutionary characteristics and genetic variations of the HA (hemagglutinin) and NA (neuraminidase) genes of influenza A(H1N1) viruses in Shanghai during 2024, to investigate their transmission patterns, and to evaluate their potential impact on vaccine effectiveness. MethodsFrom January to October 2024, throat swab specimens were collected from influenza like illness (ILI) patients at 4 hospitals in Shanghai. Real-time fluorescence ploymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used for virus detection and isolation of H1N1 influenza viruses. Forty influenza A(H1N1) virus strains were sequenced using Illumina NovaSeq 6000 platform, followed by phylogenetic analyses, genetic distance analysis, and amino acid variation analyses of HA and NA genes. ResultsPhylogenetic tree of the HA and NA genes revealed that the 40 influenza A(H1N1) virus strains circulating in Shanghai in 2024 exhibited no significant geographic clustering, with a broad origin of strains and complex transmission chains. Genetic distance analyses demonstrated that the average intra-group genetic distances of HA and NA genes among the Shanghai strains were 0.005 1±0.000 6 and 0.004 6±0.000 6, respectively, which were comparable to or higher than those observed in global surveillance strains. Both HA and NA genes displayed frequent mutations. Compared to the 2023‒2024 and 2024‒2025 Northern Hemisphere A(H1N1) vaccine strains (WHO-recommended), the HA proteins of 40 Shanghai strains exhibited amino acid substitutions at positions 120, 137, 142, 169, 216, 223, 260, 277, 356 and 451, with critical mutations at positions 137 and 142 located within the Ca2 antigenic determinant. Furthermore, mutations in the NA protein were observed at positions 13, 50, 200, 257, 264, 339 and 382. ConclusionThe genetic background of the 2024 Shanghai influenza A(H1N1) virus strains is complex and diverse, and antigenic variation may affect vaccine effectiveness. Therefore, it is recommended to enhance genomic surveillance of influenza viruses, evaluate vaccine suitability, and implement more targeted prevention and control strategies against imported influenza viruses.

ObjectiveTo analyze the epidemiological characteristics and spatial clustering patterns of brucellosis in humans in Zhangjiakou City, Heibei Province from 2018 to 2023, so as to provide a basis for the prevention and control of brucellosis. MethodsIncidence data of brucellosis in Zhangjiakou City from 2018 to 2023 were collected. Descriptive epidemiological analysis, Joinpoint regression modelling, and spatial autocorrelation analysis were used to analyze the temporal trends and spatial clustering patterns of the epidemic. ResultsA total of 3 812 cases of brucellosis were reported in Zhangjiakou City from 2018 to 2023, with no death case, yielding an average annual incidence rate of 15.43/100 000 (incidence range: 12.82/100 000‒17.76/100 000). Cases of brucellosis occurred year-round, with a distinct seasonal pattern, predominantly concentrated between March and September, peaking in May and June. The male-to-female ratio was 2.58∶1, with a higher incidence in males than that in females. The highest incidence rates were observed in the 40‒<50 years (74.98/100 000) and 50‒<60 years age group (87.14/100 000). The majority of cases were farmers and herdsmen (3 557 cases, 93.31%). Joinpoint regression analyses indicated that from 2018 to 2023, the incidence rate of human brucellosis in pastoral areas of Zhangjiakou City showed a declining trend (APC=-9.70%, 95%CI: -15.31%‒ -4.63%), while the incidence rate in mixed-use areas exhibited an increasing trend (APC=6.90%, 95%CI: 0.17%‒14.30%). Spatial clustering analyses showed that the incidence of brucellosis in Zhangjiakou from 2018 to 2023 was non-randomly distributed across the whole city, with a positive spatial correlation and significant clustering (Moran’s I>0, all P<0.001). Local spatial autocorrelation analyses showed that the high-high clusters were concentrated in the pastoral areas during 2018‒2020. From 2021 onward, the number of high-high clusters in mixed and non-pastoral regions exceeded those in traditional pastoral areas. ConclusionFrom 2018 to 2023, the incidence of brucellosis in Zhangjiakou City showed a declining trend, with significant spatial clustering observed across the city. It is recommended to intensify health education among males aged 40‒<60 years. Scientific livestock management practices should be promoted in non-pastoral and mixed areas, and cross-sectoral quarantine and joint prevention and control efforts should be strengthened as well.

Objective:To analyze the short-term efficacy and safety of robot-assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomy（RAPN）for non-metastatic pathological stage T 3a renal cell carcinoma. Methods:The clinical and pathological data of 45 patients with pathologically confirmed non-metastatic T 3a renal cell carcinoma who underwent RAPN at Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center between January 2016 and December 2023 were retrospectively reviewed. There were 30 males and 15 females. The average age of the cohort was（54.3±10.7）years，and the average clinical tumor diameter was（4.9±1.8）cm. Of all the patients，35（77.8%）were asymptomatic，7（15.6%）presented with hematuria，and 3（6.7%）presented with lumbar pain. Preoperative imaging assessed 34 patients（75.6%）as having clinical stage T 3a，all suspected of involving the collecting system or perirenal fat invasion；the remaining 11 patients（24.4%）were assessed as having stage T 1-2 disease. The median R.E.N.A.L. nephrectomy score was 8.0（7.0，10.0）. A history of hypertension，diabetes，or chronic kidney disease was present in 18 patients（40.0%）. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival，and the secondary endpoints included postoperative complications and short-term renal function outcomes. Survival curve was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method，and renal function comparisons were made using the paired t-test. Results:The RAPN was performed through a transabdominal approach in 32 patients（71.1%），with a median estimated blood loss of 150.0（50.0，300.0）ml. Seven（15.6%）patients required intraoperative blood transfusion. The median length of postoperative hospital stay was 4.0（4.0，6.0）days. Postoperative complications occurred in 6 patients（13.3%），including 5（11.1%）with mild complications and 1（2.2%）with a severe complication. Renal function returned to baseline in 24 of 39 evaluable patients（61.5%），while 3 patients（7.7%）developed surgery-related chronic kidney disease 3 to 12 months postoperatively，but none required dialysis. The median follow-up time was 31.8（22.7，50.9）months，12（26.7%）patients received programmed cell death protein 1 inhibitor adjuvant therapy postoperatively. During follow-up，3 patients experienced tumor recurrence，the 3-year progression-free survival rate of the entire cohort was 95.4%.Conclusions:For some carefully selected patients with T 3a renal cell carcinoma，RAPN performed by experienced surgeons is a feasible and safe option，providing excellent short-term oncological outcomes，complication control，and renal function recovery. The long-term efficacy remains to be seen.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical efficacy of the modified medial gastrocnemius myocutaneous flap (MGMF) with extended anterior, posterior and (or) inferior boundaries.Methods:From January 2002 to September 2022, modified MGMFs were applied onto 33 patients who received reconstructive surgery for soft-tissue defects around knee or in calf, in the Department of Orthopaedics, the Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University. The size of defects ranged from 10 cm×4 cm to 22 cm×12 cm, and the flap size ranged from 15 cm×6 cm to 28 cm×14 cm. Twenty-five patients had the complication of chronic osteomyelitis. The boundaries of a modified MGMF were as follows: the anterior boundary was the anterior border of the tibia, where the posterior boundary at 3.0 cm lateral to the posterior midline, the proximal boundary at the popliteal fossa crease, and the distal boundary at the plane 2.0 cm above the tip of medial malleolus. The anterior edge of the modified MGMF was designed running along the medial edge of the defect and its curved extension line. Pretibial skin was equally divided into 9 zones, with the 1st to 9th zones from proximal to distal in sequence. Postoperative routine anti-infection treatment was offered. All patients were included in the postoperative follow-up through outpatient visits, telephone or WeChat interviews. Flap viability and wound healing in both donor and recipient sites were evaluated. Function of the affected limb was assessed using the evaluation criteria established by Punor et al.Results:All patients were included in the follow-up for 1 to 169 (median duration: 9)months. The 33 modified MGMFs included MGMFs with extended boundary of anterior ( n=18), inferior ( n=5), anterior combined with inferior ( n=6), posterior combined with anterior ( n=2), and posterior combined with inferior ( n=2) boundaries. Twenty-nine (87.9%) flaps survived completely. Partial necrosis occurred in 4 flaps(12.1%)(2 flaps with extended anterior boundary and 2 flaps with extended inferior boundary). The anterior margins of 26 flaps (78.7%) with extended anterior boundary alone or in combination with extended inferior or posterior boundary exceeded the medial edge of the tibia by 1.0-4.5 (mean, 2.1) cm, and 3 of them reached the anterior edge of tibia. Fourteen (42.4%) modified MGMFs were used to reconstruct the defects involving 1/3 of distal calf, and the distal ends of these defects were located in the 7th ( n=8) or 8th ( n= 6) zone. All the skin grafts in the donor sites survived. During follow-up, 31 patients (93.9%) showed no sign of infection, and 2 patients (6.1%) who had recurrence of chronic osteomyelitis. Functions of the affected limbs were excellent ( n=25), good ( n=6) and fair ( n=2) by Punor et al. Conclusion:Modified MGMF with extended anterior, posterior and (or) inferior boundaries is clinically feasible. It offers advantages of easier design and operation. It can be used to reconstruct a more distal, wider and larger defect as well as broadens the application of the MGMF.
