Immunotherapy is an important breakthrough in canc-er treatment.Unfortunately,low drug concentration in tumor sites almost ineffectively initiates immune responses and thereby severely limits immune therapy applications in clinics.Nanoma-terials are well-recognized drug delivery system in cancer thera-py.Nanographene oxide(NGO)have shown immense perti-nence for anti-cancer drug delivery owing to their ultra-high sur-face area,chemical stability,good biocompatibility and excel-lent photosensitivity.In addition,functionalized modifications on the surface of NGO increase tumor targeting and minimize cy-totoxicity.This study focuses on reviewing the literature and up-dates on NGO in drug delivery and discussing the possibilities and challenges of NGO in cancer synergetic therapy.

Objective:To study the serological characteristics of ABO*A2.08 subtype and explore its genetic molecular mechanism.Methods:ABO blood group identification was performed on proband and her family members by routine serological methods.ABO genotyping and sequence analysis were performed by polymerase chain reaction-sequence specific primer(PCR-SSP),and direct sequencing of PCR products from exons 6 and 7 of ABO gene were directly sequenced and analyzed.The effect of gene mutation in A2.08 subtype on structural stability of GTA protein was investigated by homologous protein conserved analysis,3D molecular modeling and protein stability prediction.Results:The proband's serological test results showed subtype Ax,and ABO genotyping confirmed that the proband's genotype was ABO*A207/08.Gene sequencing of the proband's father confirmed the characteristic variation of c.539G＞C in the 7th exon of ABO gene,leading to the replacement of polypeptide chain p.Arg180Pro(R180P).3D protein molecular modeling and analysis suggested that the number of hydrogen bonds of local amino acids in the protein structure was changed after the mutation,and protein stability prediction showed that the mutation had a great influence on the protein structure stability.Conclusion:The mutation of the 7th exon c.539G＞C of ABO gene leads to the substitution of polypeptide chain amino acid,which affects the structural stability of GTA protein and leads to the change of enzyme activity,resulting in the A2.08 phenotype.The mutated gene can be stably inherited.

Objective:To explore the influence of learning input and professional commitment on the core competence of rural order-oriented medical students,and to provide theoretical reference for improving the quality of the grassroots health workforce.Methods:520 rural order-oriented medical students from two medical colleges in S province were selected as research subjects.Stratified regression method was used to analyze the effect of learning input on the core competence of rural order-oriented medical students,and simple slope test was used to analyze the moderating effect of professional commitment on the aforementioned relationship.Results:The overall mean score of core competence of rural order-oriented medical students in S province was(3.39±0.549),learning input had a significant positive effect on the core competence of rural order-oriented medical students(β=0.358),and there was a moderating effect of professional commitment on the relationship between the two,which made the effect of learning input on core competence stronger(β=0.206).Conclusion:Improve the policy of training rural order-oriented medical students,strictly control the quality of admission,increase the construction and investment in grass-roots bases,emphasize students'vocational quality education,and enhance their core competencies.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of hematoporphyrin monomethyl ether-mediated photodynamic therapy (HMME-PDT) in the treatment of adult patients with port-wine stains (PWS) in China, and to analyze factors influencing the efficacy.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted on the data from 265 adult patients with PWS who underwent HMME-PDT at the Department of Dermatology, West China Hospital, Sichuan University from February 2017 to October 2023. Patients were intravenously injected with hemoporfin at doses of 5 - 6.5 mg/kg, followed by irradiation with a 532-nm green light-emitting diode at the energy density of 100 - 130 J/cm 2 (power density, 85 - 100 mW/cm 2) for 19 - 25 minutes. Treatments were conducted every 2 - 6 months. The treatment response in the treated area was observed after each treatment, and the clinical efficacy was assessed at least two months after the last treatment. Chi-square test was used to analyze the differences in efficacy between groups. Results:Among the 265 adult patients with PWS, the male to female ratio was 90∶175, the patients' age ranged from 18 to 56 years (26.48 ± 6.88 years), and they underwent 1 to 8 treatment sessions (2.67 ± 1.33 sessions). After treatment, 102 (38.4%) patients achieved complete remission, 74 (27.9%) achieved marked improvement, 59 (22.2%) had moderate improvement, and 30 (11.3%) showed no response, resulting in an overall response rate of 88.7%. Among 146 patients without hypertrophic lesions, 69 (47.3%) achieved complete remission, with a response rate of 92.5%; among 102 with slightly thickened lesions, 32 (31.4%) achieved complete remission, with a response rate of 87.3%; among 17 with markedly thickened lesions, only 1 achieved complete remission, and 11 achieved marked improvement. Among 50 patients who received more than 3 treatment sessions, 28 (56%) had complete remission, with a response rate of 100%; among 45 who received only one session of treatment, 5 (11.1%) achieved complete remission, with a response rate of 68.9%. Among 232 patients without soft tissue hyperplasia, 95 (40.9%) achieved complete remission, with a response rate of 88.8%; among 33 with soft tissue hyperplasia, 7 (21.2%) achieved complete remission, with a response rate of 87.9%. The therapeutic effects significantly differed among patients with different lesion thicknesses, among those with different treatment sessions, as well as between patients with soft tissue hyperplasia and those without (all P < 0.05). There were no significant differences in the therapeutic effect among patients of different genders, different ages, with different lesion colors, as well as between patients with nodules and those without, and between patients with treatment history and those without (all P > 0.05). During and after the treatment, patients experienced varying degrees of swelling, burning sensation, pain, and itching, all of which could be relieved by common treatment; scars occurred in 10 (3.8%) patients, and were managed by symptomatic treatment; no systemic adverse reactions, such as drug allergies or impairment of liver and kidney function, were observed during the treatment. Conclusions:HMME-PDT is safe and effective in the treatment of adult patient with PWS. The therapeutic effect of HMME-PDT was associated with lesion thickening and soft tissue hyperplasia, and increased with the increase in treatment sessions.

In infants with severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia(sBPD),severe pulmonary lobar emphysema may occur as a complication,contributing to significant impairment in ventilation.Clinical management of these infants is extremely challenging and some may require lobectomy to improve ventilation.However,prior to the lobectomy,it is very difficult to assess whether the remaining lung parenchyma would be able to sustain adequate ventilation postoperatively.In addition,preoperative planning and perioperative management are also quite challenging in these patients.This paper reports the utility of selective bronchial occlusion in assessing the safety and efficacy of lobectomy in a case of sBPD complicated by severe right upper lobar emphysema.Since infants with sBPD already have poor lung development and significant lung injury,lobectomy should be viewed as a non-traditional therapy and be carried out with extreme caution.Selective bronchial occlusion test can be an effective tool in assessing the risks and benefits of lobectomy in cases with sBPD and lobar emphysema.However,given the technical difficulty,successful application of this technique requires close collaboration of an experienced interdisciplinary team.

Objective To understand the respiratory protection competency of staff in hospitals.Methods Staff from six hospitals of different levels and characteristics in Beijing were selected,including doctors,nurses,medical technicians,and servicers,to conduct knowledge assessment on respiratory protection competency.According to exposure risks of respiratory infectious diseases,based on actual cases and daily work scenarios,content of respira-tory protection competency assessment was designed from three aspects:identification of respiratory infectious di-seases,transmission routes and corresponding protection requirements,as well as correct selection and use of masks.The assessment included 6,6,and 8 knowledge points respectively,with 20 knowledge points in total,all of which were choice questions.For multiple-choice questions,full marks,partial marks,and no mark were given respective-ly if all options were correct,partial options were correct and without incorrect options,and partial options were correct but with incorrect options.Difficulty and discrimination analyses on question of each knowledge point was conducted based on classical test theory.Results The respiratory protection competency knowledge assessment for 326 staff members at different risk levels in 6 hospitals showed that concerning the 20 knowledge points,more than 60％participants got full marks for 6 points,while the proportion of full marks for other questions was relatively low.Less than 10％participants got full marks for the following 5 knowledge points:types of airborne diseases,types of droplet-borne diseases,conventional measures for the prevention and control of healthcare-associated infec-tion with respiratory infectious diseases,indications for wearing respirators,and indications for wearing medical protective masks.Among the 20 knowledge questions,5,1,and 14 questions were relatively easy,medium,and difficult,respectively;6,1,4,and 9 questions were with discrimination levels of ≥0.4,0.30-0.39,0.20-0.29,and ≤0.19,respectively.Conclusion There is still much room for hospital staff to improve their respiratory protection competency,especially in the recognition of diseases with different transmission routes and the indications for wearing different types of masks.

Objective To investigate the implementation of surveillance,prevention and control measures for healthcare-associated infection(HAI)in maternal and child healthcare(MCH)institutions,and provide policy evi-dence for optimizing HAI prevention and control in MCH institutions.Methods Stratified sampling was conducted among the MCH institutions at provincial,municipal and county levels in 8 provinces/autonomous regions.A uni-fied questionnaire was designed and the online survey was conducted through"Questionnaire Star".Results The data from 123 MCH institutions were included in the analysis.90.24％of the MCH institutions carried out compre-hensive surveillance on HAI.The ratios of MCH institutions which implemented targeted surveillance on HAI in neonatal intensive care unit(NICU),surgical site infection,multidrug-resistant organisms(MDROs)and HAI in intensive care units(non-NICU excluded)were 89.66％,85.96％,80.77％,and 74.19％,respectively.51.22％MCH institutions adopted information surveillance system on HAI cases.94.31％MCH institutions carried out surveillance on hand hygiene compliance.Over 90％MCH institutions carried out surveillance on environment hy-giene in high-risk departments.71.54％MCH institutions conducted centralized cleaning,disinfection,sterilization and supply for reusable medical instruments in the central sterile supply department(CSSD).Over 90％MCH insti-tutions established three-level pre-examination triage systems.86.18％set up transitional wards.MCH institutions generally adopted a management model with established effective communication,full appointment visits,and sepa-rate visits for special medical groups,such as registered pregnant women,high-risk newborns,healthcare groups,and long-term rehabilitation patients.However,the ratio of institutions conducting on-line follow-up visits was less than 50％.Conclusion MCH institutions have generally carried out comprehensive and targeted surveillance on HAI.Information surveillance need to be facilitated.Hand hygiene and environmental hygiene surveillance has been popularized to a certain extent at all levels of MCH institutions.The cleaning,disinfection,sterilization,and supply processes of reusable medical devices in a few MCH institutions are not standardized.Special medical populations get effective management.On-line healthcare is to be further promoted.

Breast cancer has become the malignant tumor with the highest incidence rate. Although the emergence of new drugs has prolonged the overall survival of breast cancer patients， it still possesses a high recurrence and metastasis rate due to tumor heterogeneity and drug resistance. Glucose is the main source of energy metabolism for breast cancer cells， and the glucose metabolism of breast cancer cells is significantly different from that of normal breast cells. The high energy demand and rapid growth of breast cancer cells make their demand for glucose much higher than that of normal cells. Moreover， even under aerobic conditions， the glycolytic effect of breast cancer cells will be significantly enhanced to meet the high energy metabolism demand of breast cancer cells. The main reason for the enhanced glycolytic effect of breast cancer cells is the enhanced activity of glycolysis-related enzymes and regulatory factors， including pyruvate kinase， hexokinase， phosphofructokinase， lactate dehydrogenase， and glucose transporter protein. The metabolism process of glycolysis in breast cancer cells can be regulated by interfering with the activity of these enzymes and regulatory factors， thus inhibiting the proliferation of breast cancer， promoting apoptosis， and reversing drug resistance， invasion， and metastasis. Traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） has a long history of treating breast cancer and has made significant achievements in the aspects of anti-recurrence， metastasis， and drug resistance. In recent years， more and more research related to the intervention of aerobic glycolysis in breast cancer by TCM monomers， single-flavored TCM， and compounds has been conducted and has made great achievements. In addition， a large number of in vivo and in vitro experiments have shown that aerobic glycolysis is an important potential target for the treatment of breast cancer by TCM， but there is a lack of a comprehensive review and summary. On this basis， this paper elaborated on the roles of key targets in aerobic glycolysis and breast cancer and summarized the relevant studies on the treatment of breast cancer by intervention of glycolysis with TCM， with a view to providing new ideas for further research.

Purpose::Intramedullary nailing is the preferred internal fixation technique for the treatment of subtrochanteric fractures because of its biomechanical advantages. However, no definitive conclusion has been reached regarding whether combined cable cerclage is required during intramedullary nailing treatment. This study is performed to compare the clinical effects of intramedullary nailing with cerclage and non-cerclage wiring in the treatment of irreducible spiral subtrochanteric fractures.Methods::Patients with subtrochanteric fractures admitted to our center from January 2013 to December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were enrolled in the case-control study according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria and divided into the non-cerclage group and the cerclage group. The patients' clinical data, including the operative time, intraoperative blood loss, hospital stay, reoperation rate, fracture union time, and Harris hip score, were compared between these 2 groups. Categorical variables were compared using Chi-square or Fisher's exact test. Continuous variables with normal distribution were presented as mean ± standard deviation and analyzed with Student's t-test. Nonnormally distributed variables were expressed as median (Q 1, Q 3) and assessed using the Mann-Whitney test. A p < 0.05 was considered significant. Results::In total, 69 patients were included in the study (35 patients in the non-cerclage group and 34 patients in the cerclage group). The baseline data of the 2 groups were comparable. There were no significant difference in the length of hospital stay (z = -0.391, p = 0.696), operative time (z = -1.289, p = 0.197), or intraoperative blood loss (z = -1.321, p = 0.186). However, compared with non-cerclage group, the fracture union time was shorter (z = -5.587, p < 0.001), the rate of nonunion was lower (χ 2= 6.030, p = 0.03), the anatomical reduction rate was higher (χ 2= 5.449, p = 0.03), and the Harris hip score was higher (z =-2.99, p = 0.003) in the cerclage group, all with statistically significant differences. Conclusions::Intramedullary nailing combined with cable cerclage wiring is a safe and reliable technique for the treatment of irreducible subtrochanteric fractures. This technique can improve the reduction effect, increase the stability of fracture fixation, shorten the fracture union time, reduce the occurrence of nonunion, and contribute to the recovery of hip joint function.
