Objective To analyze the pathogenic composition of hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) cases and the antibody level of enterovirus 71 (EV-A71) in healthy people in Xi'an in 2022, so as to provide evidence for the prevention and control of HFMD. Methods Anal swabs or stool specimens of HFMD cases were collected. RT-PCR was used to detect enterovirus (EV) and serotype was identified. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect EV-A71 IgG antibody levels in healthy people. Results A total of 172 positive cases were detected from 274 HFMD clinical specimens with a total detection rate of 62.77%, including 1 case of EV-A71 (0.58%), 95 cases of CV-A16 (55.23%), 64 cases of CV-A6 (37.21%), and 1 case of CV-A10(0.58%). CV-A16 was the dominant pathogen in spring and summer, and CV-A6 was the dominant pathogen in autumn and winter(χ2= 64.376,P<0.001). The age of HFMD cases caused by CV-A16 was older than the cases caused by CV-A6(t = 2.709,P = 0.007). The positive rate of EV-A71 IgG antibodies in healthy people was 36.92% (168/455). The positive rate of EV-A71 IgG antibodies in men (32.35%) was lower than that in women (43.72%), and the difference was statistically significant (χ2= 6.605 , P = 0.014). The positive rate of EV-A71 IgG antibodies in people of all ages ranged from 21.95% to 54.78%, and the difference was statistically significant (χ2= 27.623 , P<0.001). Conclusion The main pathogens of hand, foot and mouth disease in Xi'an in 2022 are CV-A16 and CV-A6 . The positive rate of EV-A71 IgG antibodies in children under 5 years old is low , and EV-A71 vaccination should be strengthened.

Objective:To investigate the genetic and evolutionary characteristics of hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA) genes of influenza B/Victoria (BV) virus in Xi′an city from 2019 to 2023.Methods:Twenty-five BV strains isolated from the Xi′an influenza surveillance network laboratory between 2019 and 2023 were collected. The HA and NA genes were sequenced using MiniSeq high-throughput sequencing platform. An evolutionary tree was constructed using bioinformatics software to analyze homology and mutation sites, and to predict N-glycosylation sites online. The antigenicity of the strains was analyzed through hemagglutination inhibition tests.Results:The BV influenza in Xi′an exhibited a distinct seasonal transmission pattern from 2019 to 2023, with peak prevalence occurring during the winter and spring seasons. The evolutionary analysis of the HA genes shows that the strains from Xi′an in 2019 belong to the V1A.3 branch, and the strains from 2021 to 2023 belong to the V1A.3a.2 branch. Analysis of antigenic sites showed that there were variations in 6 sites of 3 antigenic determinants in the HA proteins of the BV strains from 2021-2022 compared to 2019, and 2 sites of 1 antigenic determinant changed in the HA proteins in 2023 compared to 2021-2022. The evolutionary analysis of the NA genes indicates that the BV strains from Xi′an in 2019 belong to the A. 1.1 branch. By 2021 and 2022, it had evolved into the A. 1.2 clade, and by 2023, it had further evolved into the B clade and its derivatives, with no strains showing mutations associated with resistance to NA inhibitors. Antigenic analysis indicated that the majority of BV strains in Xi′an were similar to the strains included in the vaccine composition. Furthermore, glycosylation analysis showed that the potential N-glycosylation sites in the HA proteins of BV strains from 2021-2023 were reduced by one compared to those from 2019, and only a few strains from 2023 displayed alterations in the potential N-glycosylation sites of the NA proteins.Conclusions:The HA and NA genes of the BV strains from 2019 to 2023 are continuously mutating and evolving into new branches. Since 2021, V1A.3a.2 has become the dominant evolutionary branch of the HA genes, while the evolutionary branches of the NA genes from 2019 to 2023 have been continuously changing.

Objective To analyze the clinical efficacy and safety of endostar or carboplatin combined with endostar intracavitary perfusion in the treatment of malignant serous cavity effusion. Methods We retrospectively reviewed the clinical data of 78 cancer patients with malignant serous cavity effusion who received paracentesis and intracavitary endostar, or carboplatin combined with endostar in Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University between November 2011 and November 2016. There were 42 males and 36 females at a median age of 62 years ranging from 17 to 78 years. According to treatment methods, 78 patients were divided into two groups, in which 33 patients received intracavitary endostar combined with carboplatin (a combination group, 15 males and 18 females at a median age of 56 years ranging from 17 to 66 years), and 45 patients received intracavitary endostar (an endostar group, 27 males and 18 females at a median age of 63 years ranging from 38 to 78 years). The efficacy and safety of two methods were analyzed and compared. Results The response rate in the combination group was 75.8%, which was higher than that in the endostar group (60.0%, P=0.035). In quality of life improvement, there was no statistical difference between the two groups (P=0.113). The incidence of fatigue, myelosuppression and gastrointestinal reactions in the endostar group was significantly lower than that of the combination group (P=0.006, 0.000 and 0.017, respectively). Analysis of long-term efficacy revealed that the median time to progress (TTP) in the combination group and endostar group was 171 days and 143 days, respectively (P=0.030). Conclusion Intracavitary infusion of endostar alone, or carboplatin combined with endostar is effective and tolerable for controlling malignant serous cavity effusion. But for the patients with poor physical state who can not tolerant platinum perfusion, intracavitary infusion of endostar alone can be adopted to control malignant serous cavity effusion.

Objective:This study was performed using preclinical transplanted animal experiments to analyce the effects and mechanisms of third-generation EGFR-TKIs combined with anti-angiogenic therapy, thereby providing theoretical basis for further clinical trials. Methods:Researchers constructed the transplant BALB/C nude mice models with H1975 lung adenocarcinoma cell line (EGFR T790M) and divided the mice into four groups and treated them with osimertinib (2.5 or 5 mg/kg/day, gavage) alone or plus bevacizumab (5 mg/kg/twice weekly, i.p.) when the tumors reached approximately 0.4-0.6 cm3 in volume. The tumor growth curve of tumor volume was drawn according to the time in every group. After 2 weeks of treatment, the mice were killed and the tumors were processed for immunohistochemical staining and Western blot analysis. Immunostaining was performed to detect:HIF-1α, VEGF, and microvessel density (MVD) by using SP method on paraffin sections. Western blot analysis was used to analyze the protein expression levels of EGFR, AKT, and ERK signal transduction pathways. Results:After 2 weeks of treatment in high-and low-dose osimertinib alone, tumor volume in the high-dose group was significantly less than in low-dose osimertinib-alone group (P<0.05). VEGF, HIF-1αexpression, and MVD were significantly low in the high-dose osimertinib-alone group (P<0.05). Increasing doses of osimertinib induced dose-dependent weakening of the p-EGFR, p-AKT, and p-ERK expression levels (P<0.05). In the low-dose osimertinib-plus-bevacizumab group and low-dose osimertinib-alone group, no significant difference in tumor volume and the above factors was observed. In the low-dose osimertinib-plus-bevacizumab group and high-dose osimertinib-alone group, tumor volumes did not exhibit significant difference (P=0.178). Moreover, VEGF, HIF-1αexpression, and MVD exhibited no significant difference. No significant difference in the p-EGFR, p-AKT, and p-ERK expression levels was found between high-dose osimertinib-alone group and low-dose osimertinib-plus-bevacizumab group (P>0.05). In the high-dose osimertinib-plus-bevacizumab group, tumor growth was not significantly greater than that in the high-dose osimertinib-alone group (P=0.642). No significant difference was observed in the above factors.In the high-and low-dose osimertinib-plus-bevacizumab groups, tumor volume and the above factors did not exhibit significant differences (P>0.05). Conclusion:Osimertinib has obvious antitumor effects in EGFR-mutant lung adenocarcinoma with T790M mutation cell xenografts. Bevacizumab has a synergetic inhibitory effect with osimertinib against EGFR-mutant lung adenocarcinoma with T790M mutation cell xenografts. Bevacizumab enhanced the antitumor effects of osimertinib by reducing VEGF expression and the microvascular density of the tumor, thereby improving the tumor microenvironment. Bevacizumab can enhance the effect of osimertinib by suppressing EGFR, ERK, and AKT phosphorylation, thereby synergistically inhibiting EGFR activation and downstream signaling.

Objective To observe the effect of motor imagery therapy on patients accepted radiotherapy after operation for cerebral glioma. Methods 34 patients were randomly divided into control group (n=17) and observation group (n=17). Both groups accepted routine physiotherapy during radiotherapy, 45~60 min/d, 5 times a week for 4 weeks, while the observation group underwent motor imagery additionally, 15 min/d for 4 weeks. They were evaluated with Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA), Manual Muscle Test (MMT) and modified Barthel Index (MBI) before and after treatment., and with Karnofsky Performance Scale (KPS) 1 year later. Results There was no significantly difference in the scores of FMA, MMT and MBI between 2 groups before treatment (P>0.05). There was no significantly difference in the score of FMA in both groups before and after treatment (P>0.05). The score of MMT improved in the observation group after treatment (P<0.01). The scores of MBI improved in both groups after treatment (P<0.05). And there was no significantly difference in the D-value score of FMA, MMT and MBI between 2 groups (P>0.05). After 1 year follow-up, KPS showed that the number of survival patients and their quality of life were better in the observation group than in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Motor imagery therapy can improve the muscle force, activities of daily living and long-term quality of life in patients during radiotherapy after neurosurgery for cerebral glioma.
