As new evidence emerges, treatment strategies toward the functional cure of chronic hepatitis B are evolving. In 2019, a panel of national hepatologists published a Consensus Statement on the functional cure of chronic hepatitis B. Currently, an international group of hepatologists has been assembled to evaluate research since the publication of the original consensus, and to collaboratively develop the updated statements. The 2.0 Consensus was aimed to update the original consensus with the latest available studies, and provide a comprehensive overview of the current relevant scientific literatures regarding functional cure of hepatitis B, with a particular focus on issues that are not yet fully clarified. These cover the definition of functional cure of hepatitis B, its mechanisms and barriers, the effective strategies and treatment roadmap to achieve this endpoint, in particular new surrogate biomarkers used to measure efficacy or to predict response, and the appropriate approach to pursuing a functional cure in special populations, the development of emerging antivirals and immunomodulators with potential for curing hepatitis B. The statements are primarily intended to offer international guidance for clinicians in their practice to enhance the functional cure rate of chronic hepatitis B.

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of Yulin Hukun decoction on autophagy mediated by phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (Akt)/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathway in the mouse model of cyclophosphamide-induced diminished ovarian reserve and explore the follicular development-improving mechanism of this decoction. MethodsSixty female ICR mice with normal estrous cycle were assigned into a blank group (n=10) and a modeling group (n=50). The model was established by intraperitoneal injection of cyclophosphamide (60 mg·kg-1) for 5 days. The successfully modeled mice were randomly grouped as follows: model, estradiol (0.26 mg·kg-1), and high-, medium-, and low-dose (56.42, 28.21, 14.105 g·kg-1, respectively) Yulin Hukun decoction, with 10 mice in each group. The blank group and the model group received normal saline (10 mL·kg-1). The intervention was performed once a day for 21 days. The general conditions, estrous cycle, body weight, and ovary index were observed and recorded for each group. Serum levels of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), estradiol (E2), and anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Histopathological changes in the ovarian tissue were observed by hematoxylin-eosin staining. Western blot was employed to determine the protein levels of PI3K, Akt, mTOR, autophagy-related protein 7 (Atg7), beclin1, microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3Ⅱ (LC3Ⅱ), ubiquitin-binding adaptor protein (p62), forkhead box protein O1 (FoxO1), and acetylated forkhead box protein O1 (Ac-FoxO1) in mouse ovaries. Real-time PCR was adopted to determine the mRNA levels of PI3K, Akt, mTOR, Atg7, beclin1, and LC3Ⅱ in the mouse ovarian tissue. ResultsCompared with the blank group, the model group had disturbed estrous cycle, decreased body weight (P<0.05), loose ovarian structure with increased atretic follicles, increased serum FSH level (P<0.05), and decreased AMH and estradiol levels (P<0.05). Compared with the model group, the treatment groups showed recovered estrous cycles and body weight. The estradiol group and high- and medium-dose Yulin Hukun decoction groups showed declined FSH level (P<0.05) and elevated AMH levels (P<0.05). In addition, the treatment groups showed downregulated protein levels of Atg7, LC3Ⅱ, beclin1, FoxO1, and Ac-FoxO1 (P<0.01), upregulated protein levels of PI3K, Akt, mTOR, and p62 (P<0.01) in the ovarian tissue, gradual repair of the ovarian structure, with more intact and numerous follicles of various stages. ConclusionYulin Hukun decoction can inhibit autophagy in ovarian granulosa cells by activating the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway and inhibiting the expression of autophagy-related proteins and transcription factors, thereby improving follicular development and ovarian reserve.

BackgroundNegative effects of mobile phone addiction on undergraduate students have led to several health problems including depression, anxiety, attention deficit disorder, cognitive impairment and sleep disturbance. The undergraduate nursing students serve as an important reserve force of the clinical nursing work, and their poor psychological health would have a non-ignorable impact on the quality of the nursing work and the nurse-patient relationship in the future. ObjectiveTo investigate the relation between neuroticism and tendency of mobile phone addiction among undergraduate nursing students, and to examine the pathways through which perceived stress and self-control play a role in the relation by constructing a chain-mediated model. MethodsFrom February to March 2023, a total of 900 undergraduate nursing students across 10 universities in Xi'an, Shaanxi Province were selected through convenient sampling method. Several scales were adopted to assess undergraduate nursing students respectively, including the neuroticism subscale of Eysenck Personality Questionnaire-Revised Short Scale for Chines (EPQ-RSC), Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), Self-Control Scale (SCS) and Mobile Phone Addiction Tendency Scale (MPATS). The assessment were conducted on multiple aspects of these students including neurotic personality, subjective stress, self-control and mobile phone addiction tendency. Model 6 in the SPSS Macro Process 4.1 was used to examine the mediating effect of perceived stress and self-control between neuroticism and mobile phone addiction tendency among undergraduate nursing students. Results① Among the 900 students, 314 cases (34.89%) were found to be addicted to mobile phones. ② The score of neuroticism subscale in EPQ-RSC of nursing undergraduates was positively correlated with the total scores of PSS and MPATS (r=0.400, 0.287, P<0.01), and negatively correlated with score of SCS (r=-0.364, P<0.01). The total score of MPATS was positively correlated with the total score of PSS (r=0.362, P<0.01), and negatively correlated with the total score of SCS (r=-0.468, P<0.01). The total score of SCS was negatively correlated with the total score of PSS (r=-0.515, P<0.01). ③ Perceived stress and self-control performed partial mediation between neuroticism personality and mobile phone addiction tendency (with indirect effect values of 0.056 and 0.065, respectively, accounting for 19.72% and 22.89% of the total effect). Perceived stress and self-control played a chain mediating role between neuroticism personality and mobile phone addiction tendency (with an indirect effect value of 0.064, accounting for 22.54% of the total effect). ConclusionNeuroticism personality, perceived stress and self-control are confirmed to play important roles in mobile phone addiction tendency among undergraduate nursing students. Neuroticism personality not only directly affects the tendency of mobile phone addiction, but also affects their mobile phone addiction tendency through the chain mediating effect of perceived stress and self-control.[Funded by The 2020 Annual Project of the 13th Five-Year Plan of Education Science in Shaanxi Province (number, SGH20Y1386)]

Objective:To explore the dosimetry difference between intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) and volumetric intensity modulated arc therapy (VMAT) based on the inner edge tangent field (IETF) after left-sided breast conserving surgery.Methods:The localization CT and target organ at risk (OAR) data of 35 patients with left-sided breast cancer treated with IMRT after breast conserving surgery at Department of Radiotherapy in Yunnan Cancer Hospital from June 2022 to June 2023 were selected. The IETF-IMRT and the IETF-VMAT plans were designed for the same patient based on IETF, the dosimetry differences of target areas and OAR, as well as the planned execution time were compared between the two groups.Results:Dosimetry of target areas: for IETF-IMRT and IETF-VMAT, the D 98% of the planning target volume were (47.92±0.51) and (48.21±0.33) Gy, respectively, while the D 50% were (52.04±0.22) and (51.91±0.26) Gy, respectively, and the D 2% were (53.93±0.36) and (53.62±0.41) Gy, respectively, the conformity index were 0.84±0.03 and 0.87±0.02, respectively, while the homogeneity index were 0.12±0.01 and 0.10±0.01, respectively, with statistically significant differences ( t=-3.87, P<0.001; t=3.53, P=0.001; t=5.30, P<0.001; t=-13.60, P<0.001; t=6.24, P<0.001). Dosimetry of OAR: for IETF-IMRT and IETF-VMAT, the left lung V 5 were (31.91±6.28) % and (33.99±6.31) %, respectively, and the V 20 were (11.71±2.06) % and (9.73±2.12) %, respectively, with statistically significant differences ( t=-4.18, P<0.001; t=12.40, P<0.001). The right lung V 5 were (0.11±0.08) % and (7.13±3.12) %, respectively, and the D mean were (1.05±0.12) and (2.71±0.27) Gy, respectively, with statistically significant differences ( t=-33.62, P<0.001; t=-13.30, P<0.001). The spinal cord D 2% were (1.08±0.11) and (4.83±1.40) Gy, respectively, with a statistically significant difference ( t=-15.99, P<0.001). The left lung D mean were (7.45±1.08) and (7.37±1.03) Gy, the heart D mean were (4.21±0.96) and (4.41±0.48) Gy, and the right-sided breast D mean were (3.74±1.52) and (3.48±1.11) Gy, respectively, with no statistically significant difference ( t=1.16, P=0.253; t=-1.76, P=0.088; t=1.41, P=0.169). Planned execution time: the execution time of IETF-IMRT and IETF-VMAT was (10.73±1.21) and (2.18±0.17) min, respectively, with a statistically significant difference ( t=44.71, P<0.001) . Conclusion:Both IETF-IMRT and IETF-VMAT can meet clinical requirements, however the two techniques have their own characteristics. IETF-VMAT has better conformity and homogeneity of target region. The planned OAR dosimetry in both plans are significantly lower than the dose limit of postoperative radiotherapy for breast cancer, among which the left lung V 5, the right lung V 5, D mean and spinal cord D 2% of IETF-IMRT are slightly lower, the left lung V 20 of IETF-VMAT is slightly lower. IETF-VMAT significantly reduces the planned execution time compared with IETF-IMRT, thus can greatly reduce the dose deviation caused by patient position change, and significantly improve patients experience and comfort of radiotherapy. Taken together, IETF-VMAT has advantages over IETF-IMRT in radiotherapy after breast conserving surgery of left-sided breast cancer.

Objective:To investigated the safety and efficacy of donor-derived CD19+ or sequential CD19+ CD22+ chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy in patients with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT).Methods:The data of 22 patients with B-ALL who relapsed after allo-HSCT and who underwent donor-derived CAR-T therapy at the Zhujiang Hospital of Southern Medical University and the 920th Hospital of Joint Logistics Support Force of the People’s Liberation Army of China from September 2015 to December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. The primary endpoint was overall survival (OS), and the secondary endpoints were event-free survival (EFS), complete remission (CR) rate, and Grade 3-4 adverse events.Results:A total of 81.82% ( n=18) of the 22 patients achieved minimal residual disease-negative CR after CAR-T infusion. The median follow-up time was 1037 (95% CI 546–1509) days, and the median OS and EFS were 287 (95% CI 132-441) days and 212 (95% CI 120-303) days, respectively. The 6-month OS and EFS rates were 67.90% (95% CI 48.30%-84.50%) and 58.70% (95% CI 37.92%-79.48%), respectively, and the 1-year OS and EFS rates were 41.10% (95% CI 19.15%-63.05%) and 34.30% (95% CI 13.92%-54.68%), respectively. Grade 1-2 cytokine release syndrome occurred in 36.36% ( n=8) of the patients, and grade 3-4 occurred in 13.64% of the patients ( n=3). Grade 2 and 4 graft-versus-host disease occurred in two patients. Conclusion:Donor-derived CAR-T therapy is safe and effective in patients with relapsed B-ALL after allo-HSCT.

Objective:To explore the relationship between the perceived stress and the independent learning ability of nursing undergraduates, to establish a chain mediation model to investigate the role of psychological capital and self-control in the relationship between the two, aiming to provide a new direction for nursing educators to improve the independent learning ability of nursing undergraduates.Methods:Using the convenient sampling method, a total of 913 nursing undergraduates from 10 universities in Shaanxi Province were selected as research objects from February to March 2023. Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), Positive Psychological Capital Questionnaire (PPQ), Self-control Scale (SCS) and Self-directed Learning Ability Scale (SLAS) were used to investigate the nursing undergraduates.Results:A total of 913 questionnaires were sent out in this study, and 900 were effectively collected, with an effective recovery rate of 98.58% (900/913). The total SLAS score of 900 nursing undergraduates was (87.12±9.20). The perception of stress among undergraduate nursing students could directly predict their self-directed learning ability negatively ( P<0.01), or indirectly affected their self-learning ability through psychological capital and self-control ( P<0.05). Psychological capital (indirect effect value=-0.160) and self-control (indirect effect value=-0.106) played a mediating role between stress perception and self-directed learning ability, and the mediating effect accounted for 38.55% and 25.54%, respectively. Moreover, psychological capital and self-control also played a chain mediating role (indirect effect value=-0.053), and the proportion of chain mediated effect was 12.77%. Conclusions:Perceived stress, psychological capital and self-control are important influencing factors on the self-directed learning ability of nursing undergraduate students. Perceived stress not only directly affects the self-directed learning ability of nursing undergraduate students, but also indirectly affects their self-directed learning ability through the chain mediation effect of psychological capital and self-control.
