Purpose This study aimed to investigate the expression of CTLA-4 and PD-L1 in pulmonary lympho-epithelial carcinoma(PLEC)and to explore their relationships with patient prognosis and with tumor-infiltrating lym-phocytes(TILs).Methods Fifty cases of PLEC were retrospectively collected,together with 23 samples of adjacent normal lung tissue.Immunohistochemistry was performed to detect CTLA-4 and PD-L1 expression in both PLEC and adjacent normal lung tissues,as well as to quantify CD4+and CD8+T-lymphocytes infiltration within the tumor micro-environment.CTLA-4,PD-L1,and the distributions of CD4+T cells and CD8+T cells were then correlated with the clinicopathological features of PLEC.Results The positive rate of CTLA-4 in PLEC was significantly higher than that in adjacent normal lung tissue(P<0.05).PD-L1 expression differed significantly across TNM stages of PLEC(P<0.05)and was positively correlated with TNM stages(r=0.31,P=0.03).CD4+and CD8+T-lymphocytes were pre-dominantly localized in the tumor stroma,with CD4+T cells density exceeding that of CD8+(P<0.05).Within canc-er nests,CD8+T cells density was significantly higher than CD4+(P<0.05).Conclusion Both PD-L1 and CTLA-4 are frequently expressed in PLEC,suggesting they represent potential immunotherapeutic targets.In the PLEC micro-environment,lymphocytes primarily infiltrated the stromal compartment,and CD4+T cells are more abundant than CD8+T cells in that locale.

BACKGROUND:
The effect of intra-operative chemotherapy (IOC) on the long-term survival of patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) remains unclear. In this study, we evaluated the independent effect of intra-operative infusion of 5-fluorouracil in combination with calcium folinate on the survival of CRC patients following radical resection.
METHODS:
1820 patients were recruited, and 1263 received IOC and 557 did not. Clinical and demographic data were collected, including overall survival (OS), clinicopathological features, and treatment strategies. Risk factors for IOC-related deaths were identified using multivariate Cox proportional hazards models. A regression model was developed to analyze the independent effects of IOC.
RESULTS:
Proportional hazard regression analysis showed that IOC (hazard ratio [HR]=0.53, 95% confidence intervals [CI] [0.43, 0.65], P < 0.001) was a protective factor for the survival of patients. The mean overall survival time in IOC group was 82.50 (95% CI [80.52, 84.49]) months, and 71.21 (95% CI [67.92, 74.50]) months in non-IOC group. The OS in IOC-treated patients were significantly higher than non-IOC-treated patients ( P < 0.001, log-rank test). Further analysis revealed that IOC decreased the risk of death in patients with CRC in a non-adjusted model (HR=0.53, 95% CI [0.43, 0.65], P < 0.001), model 2 (adjusted for age and gender, HR=0.52, 95% CI [0.43, 0.64], P < 0.001), and model 3 (adjusted for all factors, 95% CI 0.71 [0.55, 0.90], P = 0.006). The subgroup analysis showed that the HR for the effect of IOC on survival was lower in patients with stage II (HR = 0.46, 95% CI [0.31, 0.67]) or III disease (HR=0.59, 95% CI [0.45, 0.76]), regardless of pre-operative radiotherapy (HR=0.55, 95% CI [0.45, 0.68]) or pre-operative chemotherapy (HR=0.54, 95% CI [0.44, 0.66]).
CONCLUSIONS:
IOC is an independent factor that influences the survival of CRC patients. It improved the OS of patients with stages II and III CRC after radical surgery.

Objective To revise the qualitative and quantitative determination methods of Xuanxi Rongjin powder. Methods TLC was used to qualitatively identify Chuanxiong and Chuanshanlong. The content of cinnamaldehyde in the preparation was determined by HPLC with KR100-5C18 column (250 mm×4.6 mm, 5μm). The mobile phase was acetonitrile-water (35:65) and the detection wavelength was 290 nm. Results TLC can qualitatively identify Chuanxiong and Chuanshanlong. Cinnamaldehyde has a good linear relationship in the range of 0.0489~0.3260 µg/ml (r=1.00), The average recovery was 95.71% (RSD=1.78%). Conclusion The method has high sensitivity, good specificity, simple operation and good reproducibility.

COVID-19, caused by SARS-COV-2, has the characteristics of world epidemic, highly infectious and large base of death. In China, transmission route of SARS-COV-2 has been contained so effectively that COVID-19 has been well controlled due to the proactive national prevention and control strategy. However, not only does it bring a huge impact on the existing medical structure model, but also an objective impact on the treatment of patients with chronic diseases such as malignant tumors. Based on the progress reported in the domestic and international literatures and the actual management experience of our team, this paper reflects on the treatment strategies for patients with gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) during the epidemic period of COVID-19. We focus on risk stratification for primary GIST and forming treatment strategies accordingly. Major considerations include the impact of delayed operation, the burden of medical resources, the waiting time for elective operation, and the principle of emergency operation. In addition, we focus on the level of evidence for non-surgical approaches with a view to developing a holistic strategy of "priority management principles" to guide clinical treatment in the context of limited resources and different GIST priorities.

Objective:To evaluate the performance of Hybribio human papillomavirus (HPV) typing test kit for high risk HPV-DNA typing detection in screening of cervical precancer lesions.Methods:A total of 9 914 women were recruited in Henan, Shanxi, and Guangdong provinces from June to July 2017. All women underwent HPV DNA test. The women who diagnosed as HPV positive and cytological examination ≥ atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASCUS) or HPV negative and cytological examination≥low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (LSIL) underwent colposcopy biopsy and pathological examination. Using the pathological diagnosis as the gold standard, the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV), and 95% confidence interval ( CI) of high-risk HPV and HPV16/18 tests were calculated. Results:The mean age of 9 914 subjects was (45.0±9.3) years old. Among them, 1 302 subjects were detected as high risk HPV positive, including 211 of HPV16 positive and 64 of HPV18 positive. According to the pathological gold standard of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2 (CIN2) or worse, the sensitivity and specificity of high risk-HPV and HPV 16/18 for triaging ASCUS women were 90.6% (95% CI: 75.8%-96.8%) and 78.0% (95% CI: 74.5%-81.2%) as well as 56.3% (95% CI: 39.3%-71.8%) and 95.7% (95% CI: 93.8%-97.1%), respectively. The sensitivity and specificity of high risk-HPV and HPV 16/18 for cervical precancer lesions screening were 95.1% (95% CI: 88.1%-98.1%) and 87.6% (95% CI: 86.9%-88.2%) as well as 65.9% (95% CI: 55.1%-75.2%) and 97.8% (95% CI: 97.5%-98.1%), respectively. Conclusions:The Hybribio HPV test kit has a relative high sensitivity and specificity for cervical precancer lesions screening and ASCUS triaging. It is reliable for HPV DNA detection and cervical cancer screening.

Objective:To investigate the clinical features of placental thrombosis complicated with fetal growth restriction(FGR),and to analyze its diagnosis and treatment methods. Methods:Combined with reviewing the relevant literatures, the clinical data of a case of placental thrombosis complicated with FGR was retrospectively analyzed. The patient with 32 1/7 weeks of gestation was hospitalized due to placental blood sinus found one month ago;at the same time FGR was found by ultrasound examination. The patient was intravenously given nutritional support treatment such as amino acid and glucose.At the same time, the patient was continuously given low-flow oxygen. Results:The patient received cesarean section at 35 2/7 weeks of gestation and a baby girl with 1 280 g weight and 32 cm length was gained;many blood sinus in the maternal surface of placenta were seen with the largest diameter of 3-4cm;the placenta was hypertrophic, weighted 540 g .After operation,the newborn was transferred to Department of Neonatology and followed up for 1 month.1 month later, the infant could eat by herself, other physical examinations were finished without any obvious abnormal findings and the newbron discharged from hospital after recovery. Conclusion:Placental thrombosis complicated with FGR is very common in clinic and this disease severely endangers the neonatal health. Early diagnosis and reasonable treatment can improve the pregnancy outcomes.
