Objective:To assess the preliminary efficacy and safety of modified Société Internationale d′Oncologie Pédiatrique Epithelial Liver Tumor Study Group (SIOPEL)-4 protocol for pediatric hepatoblastoma (HB) with lung metastases.Methods:This prospective cohort study enrolled 27 newly diagnosed pediatric HB with lung metastases who received the modified SIOPEL-4 protocol at Shanghai Children′s Medical Center, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, and Shanghai Children′s Hospital between January 2020 to December 2023. Clinical characteristics, lung response rates to induction chemotherapy, treatment outcomes, prognostic factors and sever chemotherapy toxicities at different stages were analyzed. Survival analysis was performed by Kaplan-Meier method. Univariate prognostic analysis was conducted by Log-Rank test.Results:Of the 27 patients, there were 17 males and 10 females, with the age of 21 (15, 33) months. During the follow-up of 31 (12, 45) months for 17 continuous complete remission patients, 4 cases disease progression (2 cases death) and 6 cases relapse were observed. The 2-year event free survival (EFS) and overall survival (OS) rate was (58±11)% and (89±7)%, respectively. All the 27 patients had response to block 1-3 induction chemotherapy (cisplatin+doxorubicin), with 14 cases (52%) achieving complete response and 13 cases (48%) achieving partial response of lung metastatic lesions, the 2-year EFS rate was (81±12)% and (34±14)%, respectively ( χ 2=6.76, P=0.009), the 2-year OS rate was 100% and (79±13)%, respectively ( χ2=2.12, P=0.145). Patients with caudate lobe tumors or ≥10 pulmonary metastatic nodules had significantly lower EFS rates ( χ2=5.36, 7.84, P=0.021, 0.005, respectively). The incidence of grade 3/4 neutropenia after block 1-3 induction chemotherapy, CD (carboplatin+doxorubicin), and VI (vincristine+irinotecan) consolidation chemotherapy was 90% (73/81), 75% (58/77), and 31% (11/35), respectively. The incidence of grade 3/4 thrombocytopenia was 77% (62/81), 69% (53/77), and 14% (5/35), respectively. The incidence of grade 3/4 infections was 64% (52/81), 25% (19/77), and 20% (7/35), respectively. The differences between the groups were statistically significant ( χ2=43.51, 42.69, 33.00, all P<0.001). Two patients (10%) of the 20 evaluable patients for ototoxicity occurred grade 3 and higher hearing impairment, with 1 patient requiring a hearing aid. Conclusions:The modified SIOPEL-4 regimen shows good preliminary efficacy and safety in treating pediatric HB with lung metastases. The prognosis for patients with residual lesions in the lungs after induction chemotherapy needs to be improved. Attention should be given to the ototoxicity induced by high-dose cisplatin chemotherapy.

Objective:To investigate the changes in hepatic phase II detoxification enzymes and their mechanism in metabolic associated steatohepatitis (MASH) induced by a methionine-choline-deficient (MCD) diet in mice.Methods:Ten C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into two groups, with five mice in each group, and fed with a control diet (NCD group) and a methionine-choline-deficient diet (MCD group) for four consecutive weeks to establish the MASH model in mice. Mice body weight was recorded weekly. Mice peripheral blood and liver tissue samples were collected after four weeks. The liver histopathological changes were observed by hematoxylin-eosin staining and Sirius red staining in liver tissue. The levels of plasma alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and triglycerides were measured by an automatic biochemical analyzer. Triglyceride and total cholesterol were used to evaluate the lipid accumulation condition in the liver of mice with Oil red O staining. Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR was used to detect the expression of liver inflammatory factors interleukin (IL)-1β and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) condition. Transcriptome sequencing and bioinformatics were used to analyze the changes in gene expression profiles in the liver of mice and screen differentially expressed genes. The expression conditions of phase Ⅱ detoxification enzymes glutathione S-transferase mu 4 (GSTM4), dihydronicotinamide riboside:quinone oxidoreductases (NQO-2), sulfotransferase 1β1 (SULT1β1), and uridine diphosphate glucuronosyltransferase 2 family, polypeptide A3(UGT2A3) were verified by real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR. Plasma malondialdehyde content, total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC), plasma and liver glutathione content were determined using commercial kits. The expression of nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), GSTM4, and UGT1A6 was examined by Western blotting. The independent sample t-test was used for comparison between the groups. Results:The body weight of mice in the MCD group showed a gradual downward trend, while the body weight of mice in the NCD group did not change significantly following four weeks of different dietary feeding. The MCD group mice liver had yellow-white appearance with round edges. The liver/body mass index was significantly lower in the NCD group ( t=3.216, P<0.01). Hematoxylin-eosin staining showed that hepatocytes in the MCD group had an occurrence of fatty degeneration accompanied by inflammatory cell infiltration, with a higher NAFLD activity score (NAS) compared to the NCD group ( t=7.155, P<0.001). Sirius red staining showed that the the liver of the MCD group had mildly increased periportal fibers. Plasma biochemical tests indicated that plasma ALT, AST, and triglyceride levels were significantly higher in the MCD group than those in the NCD group ( t=8.920, P<0.001; t=6.696, P<0.001; t=3.904, P<0.01). Oil red O staining showed that a large number of lipid droplets accumulated in the liver tissue of the MCD group and were more severe than those in the NCD group ( t=7.405, P<0.001). The triglyceride content was significantly higher in the liver of the mice in the MCD group than that in the NCD group ( t=3.559, P<0.01), and the expression of inflammatory factors IL-1β and MCP-1 was significantly increased ( t=2.562 and 2.391, respectively, P<0.05). Transcriptome sequencing analysis showed that the expression profile of genes related to lipid metabolism was changed in the liver tissue of the mice in the MCD group. The expression of multiple phase Ⅱ detoxification enzymes was significantly downregulated. Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR verification demonstrated that the expression of four phase Ⅱ detoxification enzymes GSTM4, NQO2, SUIL1β1, and UGT2A3 were significantly lower in the liver of the mice in the MCD group than those in the NCD group ( t=2.498, 3.570, 3.768, and 4.166, respectively, P<0.05). The detection kit showed that compared with the NCD group, the malondialdehyde content in the liver of mice in the MCD group increased ( t=3.601, P<0.01), while the plasma total glutathione ( t=11.93, P<0.001) and reduced glutathione levels were significantly reduced ( t=3.635, P<0.01). The total antioxidant capacity of the liver decreased ( t=2.872, P<0.05), and the total glutathione and reduced glutathione levels in the liver were significantly increased ( t=3.175 and 3.064, P<0.05). Western blotting showed that the expression of Nrf2, GSTM4, and UGT1A6 proteins was significantly lower in the MCD group than that in the NCD group ( t=3.385, 2.990, 2.168, P<0.05). Conclusions:The expressions of multiple phase Ⅱ detoxification enzymes and antioxidant capacity are reduced in the liver of MASH mice induced by the MCD diet, and its mechanism is related to the down-regulation of the expression of the upstream regulatory factor Nrf2 protein.

Objective: To analyze the trend in burden of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in China from 1990 to 2021, so as to provide insights into reducing the RA burden in China. Methods: Data of Global Burden of Disease Study 2021 were collected, and the incidence, mortality and disability-adjusted life years (DALY) of RA in China from 1990 to 2021 were analyzed and compared with global and different Socio-demographic Index (SDI) regions. The trend in burden of RA was analyzed using average annual percent change (AAPC). Results: The crude incidence rates of RA in China increased from 10.87/105 in 1990 to 17.38/105 in 2021, the crude mortality rates increased from 0.41/105 to 0.72/105, and the crude DALY rates increased from 34.26/105 to 58.61/105, with the increases of 59.98%, 77.95% and 71.06%, respectively. From 1990 to 2021, the standardized incidence rates of RA in China showed an increasing trend (AAPC=0.545%, P<0.05), the standardized mortality rates showed a decreasing trend (AAPC=-0.783%, P<0.05), and the standardized DALY rates showed no significant trend (AAPC=-0.017%, P>0.05). In 2021, the standardized incidence rate, standardized mortality rate and standardized DALY rate of RA were higher in females than in males; from 1990 to 2021, the standardized DALY rates of RA showed a decreasing trend in females (AAPC=-0.200%, P<0.05) and an increasing trend in males (AAPC=0.316%, P<0.05). The crude incidence rates of RA first increased and then decreased with age in 2021, reaching the highest in the age group of 75-<80 years at 34.36/105. Both the crude mortality rates and the crude DALY rates increased with age, reaching the highest in the age group of 95 years and older at 26.72/105 and 285.67/105, respectively. The standardized incidence rates and standardized DALY rates of RA in China in 2021 were lower than those in high SDI regions, while the standardized mortality rate was lower than that in medium-low SDI regions. Conclusions The burden of RA in China from 1990 to 2021 showed an upward trend, and was at a high level compared to different SDI regions. Higher disease burden of RA was seen in females and the elderly.

Objective:To explore the efficacy of different second-line treatment strategies in the real world after progression of first-line immunotherapy and its combination therapies in patients with driver gene-negative advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) .Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 93 driver gene-negative advanced NSCLC patients who received first-line immunotherapy and its combination therapies from January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2023 at the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinxiang Medical University and Xinxiang Central Hospital. Patients were categorized into immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) -resistant ( n=43) and ICIs-responsive ( n=50) groups according to whether progression free survival (PFS) exceeded 6 months after first-line treatment. Patients were categorized into ICIs-treated ( n=55) and non-ICIs-treated ( n=38), anti-angiogenic-treated ( n=51) and non-anti-angiogenic-treated ( n=42) groups according to the different second-line treatment strategies after progression of first-line immunotherapy and its combination therapies. The median PFS2 (mPFS2) and median overall survival (mOS) 2 after second-line treatment of each group were compared. The Kaplan-Meier method was used for survival analysis. Results:The mPFS2 and mOS2 of 93 advanced NSCLC patients who progressed after first-line ICIs treatment were 4.9 months (95% CI: 4.1-5.7 months) and 14.7 months (95% CI: 11.2-18.2 months). The mPFS2 of patients in the first-line ICIs-responsive and ICIs-resistant groups were 6.0 and 3.8 months, respectively, with no statistically significant difference ( χ2=2.00, P=0.157), and the mOS2 were 25.3 and 11.3 months, respectively, with a statistically significant difference ( χ2=12.13, P<0.001). The mPFS2 of patients in the second-line ICIs-treated group and the non-ICIs-treated group were 5.2 and 4.6 months, respectively, with no statistically significant difference ( χ2=0.16, P=0.687). The mOS2 were 15.1 and 12.7 months, respectively, with no statistically significant difference ( χ2=0.01, P=0.930). The mPFS2 of patients in the second-line anti-angiogenic-treated and non-anti-angiogenic-treated groups were 4.5 and 6.0 months, respectively, with no statistically significant difference ( χ2=0.41, P=0.525), the mOS2 were 14.7 and 16.8 months, respectively, with no statistically significant difference ( χ2=0.01, P=0.943) . Conclusions:After progression of first-line ICIs therapy in patients with driver gene-negative advanced NSCLC, first-line ICIs-responsive patients have significantly longer OS after second-line treatment compared with ICIs-resistant patients. The efficacy of second-line therapy in patients after progression of first-line ICIs therapy does not show significant differences due to the type of treatment strategies.

Objective:To quantitatively analyze the hospital infectious disease prevention and control policy texts in China, providing reference for optimizing the formulation of hospital infectious disease prevention and control policies and enhancing the public health risk management capabilities of infectious diseases.Methods:With the " hospital" " epidemic" " public health" " risk management" as keywords, relevant policy documents issued from October 2017 to December 2023 were searched on the official websites of the State Council and the National Health Commission. Based on the perspective of public health risk governance for infectious diseases, the content analysis method was used to quantitatively analyze policy texts from three dimensions: policy tools (supply oriented, demand oriented, and environmental oriented), policy objects (hospitals and medical staff as internal objects, grassroots medical and health institutions, disease prevention and control institutions, and health administrative authorities as external objects), and risk management lifecycle (risk identification, risk assessment, risk control, and risk management effectiveness evaluation).Results:A total of 98 hospital infectious disease prevention and control policies were included, with a total of 539 codes obtained. Among them, there were 134, 179, and 226 policy items for supply, demand, and environment oriented, respectively. There were 239, 25, 24, 26, and 225 policy items for hospitals, medical staffs, grassroots medical and health institutions, disease prevention and control institutions, and health administrative authorities, respectively. In the stages of risk identification, risk assessment, risk control, and risk management effectiveness evaluation, there were 117, 34, 326, and 62 policy items, respectively. Three dimensional cross analysis revealed that in the risk identification stage, environmental policy tools were often used to strengthen the responsibilities of hospitals (29/117) and health administrative authorities (23/117); The main policy tools used in the risk assessment stage were demand based tools for the health administrative authorities (6/34); During the risk control stage, three types of policy tools were used to propose requirements for each policy object; The evaluation stage of risk management effectiveness mainly used environmental policy tools to regulate the main responsibility of health administrative authorities (33/62), which was not reflected in grassroots medical and health institutions, medical staffs, and disease prevention and control institutions.Conclusions:In China′s hospital infectious disease prevention and control policies, there were differences in the design and application of various policy tools and risk management policies at different stages, and the division of responsibility for policy objects still needed to be optimized. Policy makers should make reasonable use of policy tools, strengthen the full lifecycle management and policy coverage of infectious disease risks from the perspective of public health governance, clarify the division of responsibilities among various policy objects, and improve the hospital′s ability to manage infectious disease public health risks.

Objective This study aims to analyze the online comments of patients to assess the quality of healthcare services provided by medical institutions.Methods The research focuses on a large comprehensive tertiary hospital,collecting and organizing patient reviews from a well-known online review platform.Using the text analysis software ROST CM 6.0,we em-ployed content analysis methods to conduct frequency word analysis,semantic network analysis,and sentiment mining on the patients'online reviews.Results Patients'highest concerns were the attitude of healthcare providers and the convenience of ac-cessing medical services.The quality of medical services perceived by patients is primarily associated with service attitude and service convenience.Overall,patients expressed a predominantly positive emotional inclination towards the quality of healthcare services,while negative emotions were concentrated on aspects such as process order and doctor-patient communication.Conclu-sion Analyzing online patient reviews as a means to study healthcare service quality is feasible and offers advantages not found in traditional methods.This approach provides a new tool for researching patient satisfaction and for the continuous improvement of healthcare services.

Objective To investigate the intrinsic neural mechanism of aggressive behavior in CD 1 mice.Methods CD1 mice with aggressive behavior were screened out by resident intruder test.After the aggressive conditioned pair preference was further verified,the activated brain regions of the whole brain were labeled with c-Fos,and the types of neurons activated by the aggressive behavior were analyzed by double immunofluorescence labeling.Finally,the effects of activity of these neurons regulated by optogenetics on aggressive behavior were observed.Results The c-Fos screening revealed that about 82％of the CD1 mice showed aggressive behavior.After the occurrence of aggressive behavior,the main activation occured in the medial prefrontal cortex(mPFC),and the results of immunofluorescence double labeling showed that the c-Fos positive neurons in the mPFC were mainly glutamatergic neurons.Finally,glutamatergic neurons in the mPFC could be activated by optogenetics,and the activation inhibited the aggressive behavior of CD1 mice.In contrast,optogenetics could inhibit glutamatergic neurons in the mPFC and then promote the aggressive behavior of CD1 mice.Conclusion Glutamatergic neurons in the mPFC are an important component in the regulation of aggressive behavior in CD1 mice.
