Purpose:
This study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of gemcitabine and cisplatin (GP) regimen in combination with immune checkpoint inhibitor sintilimab as neoadjuvant therapy for muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) patients and the feasibility of the following selective bladder sparing surgery.
Materials and Methods:
Patients with histopathologically confirmed urothelial carcinoma without distant metastases (T2-4a, N ≤ 1, M0, American Joint Committee of Cancer 8th) and with adequate organ function will be enrolled. The therapeutic regimen was sintilimab 200 mg once on day 8, gemcitabine 1,000 mg/m2 and cisplatin 35 mg/m2 once on days 1 and 8, every 21 days for four cycles. The primary endpoint was pathologic complete response (pCR, pT0N0) rate. The secondary end points were ypT < 2 rate, R0 resection rate, event-free survival, and safety.
Results:
From May 4, 2020, to May 20, 2023, 55 patients were enrolled. Forty-six patients were evaluated for efficacy. Among the 42 patients who underwent surgery, 16 patients (38.0%) achieved pCR. Thirty-three patients (78.6%) achieved pT < 2. With a median follow-up of 15.7 months, the 1-year event-free survival was 91.3%. Notwithstanding the poor pathological baseline characteristic of a high T3-T4a proportion (39.1%), a promising bladder preservation (including 22 patients transurethral resection of bladder tumor, 5 patients partial cystectomy, and 4 surveillances) rate was achieved (67.4%). The most common grade ≥ 3 treatment-related adverse events was neutropenia (n=15, 27.3%), which was related to chemotherapy. There were no grade 3 immune-related adverse events.
Conclusion
Neoadjuvant GP plus sintilimab is a promising regimen for MIBC patients, with relatively high pT < 2 rate and triggering the emerging roles for the multi-disciplinary team decision-making for bladder sparing surgery.

OBJECTIVE To formulate the Hazardous Drug List in China, and provide a scientific basis for standardizing the management of hazardous drugs, preventing and controlling occupational exposure risks in medical institutions at all levels in China. METHODS Under the joint organization of the Intravenous Medication Admixture Management Professional Committee of the Chinese Pharmaceutical Association and the National Medical Quality Control Center for Pharmaceutical Management, based on literature research and international hazardous drug lists and their development procedures, the scope of hazardous drug selection, selection principles, and evidence confirmation criteria were determined through expert panel seminars and expert questionnaire survey method (Delphi method). Chemical drugs, biological agents, and Chinese patent medicines marketed in China that met the selecti on principles were screened to form the Chinese Expert Consensus on the Hazardous Drug List . RESULTS Five principles for selecting hazardous drugs were established (including protective labeling in package inserts, carcinogenicity, reproductive toxicity, genotoxicity, and organ toxicity at low doses), along with the corresponding evidence confirmation criteria. The Hazardous Drug List containing 210 drugs was formulated, covering anti-tumor drugs, endocrine system drugs, nervous system drugs, immunomodulators, anti-infective drugs, cardiovascular system drugs, hematological system drugs, urinary system drugs, obstetrics and gynecology drugs, dermatological drugs and other categories. Compared with international hazardous drug lists, 25 newly included hazardous drugs were added, including 15 anti-tumor drugs, 6 Chinese patent medicines and 4 biological agents. In addition, 88 Chinese patent medicines that may have potential occupational exposure risks are listed in the appendix for reference by medical institutions in management. CONCLUSIONS The development of this consensus closely aligns with the actual clinical drug use in China, with a scientific and rigorous methodology, and can serve as a reference for medical institutions at all levels to standardize the management of hazardous drugs and prevent and control occupational exposure risks.

ObjectiveTo explore the value of deep learning reconstruction (DLR) in liver magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) by comparing the single-shot half-fourier rapid spin-echo sequence with DLR (HASTEDLR) and diffusion-weighted imaging sequence with DLR (DWIDLR) against the conventional BLADE and conventional DWI sequences. Methods70 patients underwent MRI examinations. Two observers independently evaluated the image quality of each sequence (including liver edge, blood vessels, lesion clarity, etc.). Additionally, quantitative evaluation was conducted by measuring the signal to noise ratio (SNR) of liver parenchyma and lesions, contrast to noise ratio (CNR) of lesions, as well as apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values from conventional DWI and DWIDLR. Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was used to evaluate the consistency between the two observers. ResultsThe inter-observer consistency was high (ICC: 0.84-0.97). The scanning time was reduced by 92.63% for HASTEDLR and 50% for DWIDLR sequences, respectively. The lesion clarity score of the HASTEDLR group was significantly better than that of the BLADE group (P<0.001), with artifacts reduced in both DLR sequences (P< 0.05). The HASTEDLR group demonstrated higher SNR and CNR, while the DWIDLR group showed higher SNR and ADC values (all P<0.05). ConclusionThe DLR technology can enhance the efficiency of liver MRI scans, improve image quality, and reduce artifacts, demonstrating promising application prospects.

ObjectiveTo explore the function and related molecular mechanisms of magnoflorine against colon cancer via network pharmacology, molecular docking, and in vitro cell experiments. MethodsIn this study, the canonical SMILES of magnoflorine was obtained from the PubChem database, and the potential targets of magnoflorine were predicted by the Swiss Target Prediction database, while the disease targets of colon cancer were obtained from the DisGeNET, GeneCards and OMIM databases. The intersecting targets between magnoflorine's predicted targets and colon cancer disease targets were taken, and a protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed and analyzed. The DAVID online database was employed to conduct Gene Ontology (GO) and KEGG pathway enrichment analyses on core targets. The top five key targets screened were docked with magnoflorine using AutoDock software. Finally, cellular experiments including CCK-8 assays, EdU experiments, cell scratch assays, and Transwell assays were conducted to validate the results from network pharmacology and molecular docking. Results44 key targets of magnoflorine in resisting colon cancer were acquired. The molecular docking results showed that magnoflorine had a strong binding activity with the core target signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) in the top five of the PPI network. Cellular experiments confirmed that magnoflorine could inhibit the proliferation and migration of colon cancer cells by suppressing the JAK/STAT3 signaling pathway. ConclusionMagnoflorine may inhibit the proliferation and migration of colon cancer cells by regulating the JAK/STAT3 signaling pathway.

Objective:To investigate the present situation and influencing factors of hearing loss among noise exposed workers in a gas production plant, and to provide basis and guidance for enterprises to prevent hearing loss.Methods:In November 2023, a cross-sectional survey was conducted among personnel exposed to noise in a gas production plant. A total of 380 questionnaires were collected, among which 319 were valid resulting in an effective recovery rate of 83.9%. Ultimately, 292 were included in the study. The questionnaire covered demographic characteristics, work conditions, behavioral and lifestyle habits, hearing loss, and medical history. The noise exposure levels of the research subjects were determined based on the occupational disease hazard factor detection reports provided by the gas production plant for 2022 and 2023. Whether hearing loss occurred was determined based on the pure tone audiometry results from the occupational health examination. Chi-square tests were used to analyze the influence of demographic characteristics, work conditions, and behavioral and lifestyle habits on hearing loss. A multivariate logistic regression model was used to analyze the relationship between hearing loss and related influencing factors.Results:Among the noise-exposed workers in the gas production plant, the incidence of high-frequency hearing loss was 14.4% (42/292) . The rate of hearing loss among men was higher than that among women ( P=0.010) , and the rate of hearing loss among those with a history of smoking was higher than that among those who had never smoked ( P=0.015) . Conclusion:Gas production enterprises should prioritize targeted interventions for workers with prolonged employment histories and smoking habits. Training programs should be implemented to cultivate proper ear protection practices, enhance knowledge of hearing conservation, and promote healthier lifestyle behaviors among employees.

Objective:To explore the efficacy and safety of negative-pressure wound therapy (NPWT) in treating infected wounds in orthopedic trauma patients.Methods:China National Knowledge Infrastructure, China Biomedical Literature Database, Wanfang Data Knowledge Service Platform, PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and CINAHL were searched for randomized controlled trials (RCT) and cohort studies examining the impact of NPWT on wound healing in orthopedic trauma infections. The retrieval time was from the establishment of the databases to October 2024. RevMan 5.4 software was used for Meta-analysis. The patients were divided into two groups according to different treatment methods: the intervention group, treated with NPWT, and the control group, treated with conventional treatment. The observed indicators included clinical efficacy, wound healing quality, length of hospital stay, wound healing time, incidence of complications, secondary surgery rate, and duration of antibiotic use. Publication bias analysis was performed on the observed indicators through Begg and Egger tests.Results:A total of 13 studies were included, comprising 11 RCT and 2 cohort studies, involving a total of 3 538 patients, with 1 762 in the intervention group and 1 776 in the control group. The meta-analysis results indicated that the intervention group had better clinical efficacy ( OR=7.08, 95% CI 5.31, 9.45, P<0.01), higher wound healing quality ( MD=4.15, 95% CI 3.99, 4.32, P<0.01), shorter length of hospital stay ( MD=-13.38, 95% CI -14.39, -12.38, P<0.01), shorter wound healing time ( MD=-8.11, 95% CI -10.22, -6.00, P<0.01), lower incidence of complications, lower secondary surgery rate ( OR=0.22, 95% CI 0.09, 0.57, P<0.01), and shorter duration of antibiotic use ( MD=-7.61, 95% CI -8.06, -7.16, P<0.01) when compared with the control group. No significant publication bias was observed in the aforementioned indicators ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Compared with the conventional treatment, NPWT can enhance the clinical efficacy and wound healing quality of infected wounds in orthopedic trauma patients, shorten length of hospital stay and wound healing time, reduce the incidence of complications and secondary surgery rates, and shorten the duration of antibiotic use.
8.Pancreas segmentation algorithm based on depth-wise convolution and tri-orientated spatial attention
Chinese Journal of Medical Physics 2025;42(1):37-42
A cascaded 3D pancreas segmentation network (CPS-Net) is proposed to address the challenges in pancreas segmentation caused by its small size and complex anatomical structure. CPS-Net is composed of two components:the first part utilizes ResUNet to quickly localize the pancreas region,while the second part uses a network that fuses depth-wise convolution block and tri-orientated spatial attention module to refine the segmentation results. Specifically,depth-wise convolution block significantly enhances the differentiation between the pancreas and surrounding tissues by extracting multi-scale features layer by layer,while tri-orientated spatial attention module combines axial attention,planar attention and window attention mechanisms to comprehensively capture the detailed structure of the pancreas in a complex background. CPS-Net achieved Dice similarity coefficient,positive predictive value,sensitivity,and Hausdorff distance of 87.42%±1.58%,87.42%±3.52%,87.74%±4.58%,and (0.22±0.08) mm,respectively,on the NIH public dataset,demonstrating its higher pancreas segmentation accuracy and superior performance compared with the current state-of-the-art segmentation networks.

Objective:To analyze the effects of doctor-nurse-patient shared decision-making (SDM) and enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) nursing in patients undergoing radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer.Methods:A total of 186 patients who underwent radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from December 2022 to January 2024 were selected using convenience sampling and randomly divided into a control group and an observation group, with 93 patients in each group. The control group received routine ERAS nursing, while the observation group received SDM-based ERAS nursing intervention. Postoperative gastrointestinal function recovery, Self-Management Behavior Scale (SMBS), Shared Decision-Making Questionnaire (SDM-Q-9), Satisfaction with Medical Decision-Making Scale, and Decision Conflict Scale (DCS) scores were compared between the two groups.Results:The observation group had significantly shorter time for first flatus, first defecation, first ambulation, drainage tube removal, and hospitalization compared to the control group ( P<0.05). At 30 days postoperatively, SMBS scores in all dimensions were significantly higher in the observation group than in the control group ( P<0.05). SDM-Q-9 and decision-making satisfaction scores were higher, and DCS scores were lower in the observation group compared to the control group, with statistically significant differences ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Doctor-nurse-patient SDM-based ERAS nursing promotes postoperative gastrointestinal function recovery in patients undergoing radical gastrectomy, enhances self-management ability, increases shared decision-making participation, and reduces decision-making conflict, demonstrating significant clinical value.
