OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy， safety and cost-effectiveness of serplulimab as a first-line treatment of small- cell lung cancer （SCLC）， and provide an evidence-based basis for drug selection in hospitals. METHODS Rapid health technology assessment was adopted； PubMed， Cochrane Library， Embase， CNKI， Wanfang， VIP and official websites of domestic and international health technology assessment agencies were systematically searched from the inception to Oct. 2024. Two reviewers independently screened the literature， assessed the quality of included studies and carried out the qualitative analysis according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. RESULTS A total of 13 systematic reviews/meta-analyses and 9 economic studies were included， and the literature quality was generally good. In terms of effectiveness， compared with chemotherapy alone， serplulimab combined with chemotherapy significantly improved progression-free survival， overall survival， and objective response rate in patients with SCLC. In terms of safety， serplulimab combined with chemotherapy showed no significant difference in the incidence of ≥3 grade adverse events compared with chemotherapy alone in the treatment of SCLC， indicating a good safety profile； compared with combination therapies involving other immunosuppressive agents， the incidence rate of adverse events was also lower. In terms of cost-effectiveness， compared with chemotherapy alone， serplulimab combined with chemotherapy is not cost- effective， which may be related to the high price of serplulimab. CONCLUSIONS Serplulimab is effective and safe in the treatment of SCLC， but has no obvious advantage in terms of cost-effectiveness.

Periodontal bone defects, primarily caused by periodontitis, are highly prevalent in clinical settings and manifest as bone fenestration, dehiscence, or attachment loss, presenting a significant challenge to oral health. In regenerative medicine, harnessing developmental principles for tissue repair offers promising therapeutic potential. Of particular interest is the condensation of progenitor cells, an essential event in organogenesis that has inspired clinically effective cell aggregation approaches in dental regeneration. However, the precise cellular coordination mechanisms during condensation and regeneration remain elusive. Here, taking the tooth as a model organ, we employed single-cell RNA sequencing to dissect the cellular composition and heterogeneity of human dental follicle and dental papilla, revealing a distinct Platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha (PDGFRA) mesenchymal stem/stromal cell (MSC) population with remarkable odontogenic potential. Interestingly, a reciprocal paracrine interaction between PDGFRA⁺ dental follicle stem cells (DFSCs) and CD31⁺ Endomucin⁺ endothelial cells (ECs) was mediated by Vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA) and Platelet-derived growth factor subunit BB (PDGFBB). This crosstalk not only maintains the functionality of PDGFRA⁺ DFSCs but also drives specialized angiogenesis. In vivo periodontal bone regeneration experiments further reveal that communication between PDGFRA⁺ DFSC aggregates and recipient ECs is essential for effective angiogenic-osteogenic coupling and rapid tissue repair. Collectively, our results unravel the importance of MSC-EC crosstalk mediated by the VEGFA and PDGFBB-PDGFRA reciprocal signaling in orchestrating angiogenesis and osteogenesis. These findings not only establish a framework for deciphering and promoting periodontal bone regeneration in potential clinical applications but also offer insights for future therapeutic strategies in dental or broader regenerative medicine.

Objective:To analyze the status quo of type D personality, intolerance of uncertainty and family support in first-episode stroke patients, and to explore the mediating role of family support between type D personality and intolerance of uncertainty in first-episode stroke patients, in order to provide reference for formulating relevant clinical intervention measures to promote the physical and mental health of first-episode stroke patients.Methods:This study was a cross-sectional investigation. A total of 300 patients with acute first-episode stroke who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria in the Department of Neurology of the General Hospital of Ningxia Medical University and the First People′s Hospital of Yinchuan from May 2023 to September 2023 were selected as the study objects by convenience sampling method. The general data questionnaire, Type D personality Scale-14, Family Caring Index Scale and the Intolerance of Uncertainty Scale were used to investigate them. Pearson correlation analysis was used to test the correlation between variables, and SPSS plug-in PROCESS 3.5 was used to test the mediation effect.Results:Finally, 300 questionnaires were effectively collected, including 228 males and 72 females. Patients aged ≥ 60 years old were the majority, accounting for 49.3% (148/300). The detection rate of type D personality in the first stroke patients was 37.3% (112/300), and the total score of Type D personality inventory, family support and intolerance of uncertainty of type D personality in the first stroke patients were (22.16 ± 9.95), (6.40 ± 2.23), (27.82 ± 7.93) points. The correlation analysis results showed that the intolerance of uncertainty of type D personality in the first stroke patients was positively correlated with type D personality scores ( r=0.675, P<0.001). There was a negative correlation with family support score ( r=-0.644, P<0.001). The results of mediating effect analysis showed that family support played a partial mediating role in the relationship between type D personality and intolerability of uncertainty in first-stroke patients, and the mediating effect accounted for 34.94% of the total effect. Conclusions:The mediating role of family support between type D personality and intolerability of uncertainty in first-stroke patients is established. In the future, the level of family support of patients can be continuously improved to reduce their intolerability of uncertainty, so as to promote the physical and mental health of patients and improve their quality of life.

Objective To investigate the risk factors and independent risk factors associated with papillary thyroid carcinoma(PTC)cervical lymph node metastasis,and to assess the predictive efficacy of independent risk factors on metastatic lymph nodes.Methods Clinical and ultrasonographic data of 279 patients with PTC were collected,and the patients were divided into two groups according to the presence of cervical lymph node metastasis based on postoperative pathology,and the relevant characteristics of the two groups were ana-lyzed to explore the risk factors and independent risk factors associated with cervical lymph node metastasis in PTC,and the predictive ef-ficacy of independent risk factors on cervical metastatic lymph nodes was compared by receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves.Results Age,gender and the maximum diameter,border,shape,microcalcifications,and distance from the thyroid capsule of cancer nodes were risk factors for cervical lymph node metastasis in both groups(P＜0.05);male,maximum diameter of cancer nodes 10mm,microcalcifications,and distance from the thyroid capsule ≤2mm were independent risk factors for cervical lymph node metastasis in PTC(P＜0.05);the AUC of the combination of four independent risk factors was 0.785(95％CI:0.721-0.849,P＜0.05),with the highest efficacy in predicting cervical lymph node metastasis.Conclusion Male,maximum diameter of cancer nodes ≥10mm,mi-crocalcifications,and distance from the thyroid capsule ≤2mm were independent risk factors for cervical lymph node metastasis of PTC,and the combination of four independent risk factors could assist in assessing the risk of cervical lymph node metastasis of PTC and improve patient prognosis.

The mild-natured and bitter-flavored traditional Chinese medicines (MB-TCMs) are an important class of TCMs that have been widely used in clinical practice and recognized as safe long-term treatments for chronic diseases. However, as an important class of TCMs, the panorama of pharmacological effects and the mechanisms of MB-TCMs have not been systemically reviewed. Compelling studies have shown that gut microbiota can mediate the therapeutic activity of TCMs and help to elucidate the core principles of TCM medicinal theory. In this systematic review, we found that MB-TCMs commonly participated in the modulation of metabolic syndrome, intestinal inflammation, nervous system disease and cardiovascular system disease in association with promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria Bacteroides, Akkermansia, Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium, Roseburia as well as inhibiting the proliferation of harmful bacteria Helicobacter, Enterococcus, Desulfovibrio and Escherichia-Shigella. These alterations, correspondingly, enhance the generation of protective metabolites, mainly including short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), bile acid (BAs), 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), indole and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), and inhibit the generation of harmful metabolites, such as proinflammatory factors trimethylamine oxide (TAMO) and lipopolysaccharide (LPS), to further exert multiplicative effects for the maintenance of human health through several different signaling pathways. Altogether, this present review has attempted to comprehensively summarize the relationship between MB-TCMs and gut microbiota by establishing the TCMs-gut microbiota-metabolite-signaling pathway-diseases axis, which may provide new insight into the study of TCM medicinal theories and their clinical applications.

Objective:To analyze the disease characteristics of aspiration pneumonia and its risk factors.Methods:In this retrospective case-control study, analysis was conducted on data from 92 patients aged ≥ 60 years admitted to Beijing Jishuitan Hospital, Capital Medical University between June 1, 2018 and July 31, 2022, with aspiration pneumonia(AsP) as the primary diagnosis at the time of hospital discharge and from non-AsP patients admitted during the same period.The number of participants was matched at a 1∶1 ratio.Results:The average age of the AsP group was(80.88 ± 9.41) years and 57(62.0%) were men.The average age of the control group was(77.74 ± 10.98) years and 52(56.5%) were men.There was no statistically significant difference in age and sex ratio(age: t=1.973, P=0.060; sex ratio: χ2=0.661, P=0.416).Univariate analysis showed that, at admission, body mass index(BMI) and activities of daily living(ADL) scores of the AsP group were lower than those of the non-AsP group, the proportions of patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease, acute trauma, cerebrovascular disease, history of cerebral infarction/hemorrhage and sequelae of cerebrovascular disease were higher than those of the non-AsP group(all P<0.05), and the proportions of patients receiving feeding via indwelling nasogastric intubation and tracheal intubation were also higher in the AsP group(all P<0.05).The white blood cell count, the percentage of neutrophils and the procalcitonin level in the first round of tests were higher in the AsP group than those in the non-AsP group and the maximum values of the above parameters during hospitalization were also higher than those in non-AsP patients, while the levels of albumin and prealbumin were lower than those in the non-AsP group( P<0.05 for all).Chest CT showed that 83.7%(77/92) of patients with AsP had bilateral pneumonia, higher than 55.4%(51/92) in the non-AsP group( χ2=8.569, P=0.014).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that male sex( OR=16.206, 95% CI: 1.268-207.191, P=0.032) was a risk factor for AsP, and BMI( OR=0.747, 95% CI: 0.582-0.959, P=0.022) and ADL score at admission( OR=0.945, 95% CI: 0.903-0.988, P=0.014) were protective factors against AsP.ADL score at admission( OR=0.951, 95% CI: 0.907-0.982, P=0.043), tumor history( OR=6.859, 95% CI: 1.484-31.700, P=0.014), history of cerebral infarction/intracerebral hemorrhage( OR=4.368, 95% CI: 1.087-17.511, P=0.038), history of chronic renal insufficiency( OR=5.820, 95% CI: 1.445-23.440, P=0.013), acute respiratory failure( OR=5.281, 95% CI: 1.237-22.545, P=0.013) and myocardial infarction( OR=9.466, 95% CI: 2.151-41.660, P=0.003) were independent factors affecting the prognosis of pneumonia in the elderly. Conclusions:Aspiration pneumonia in the elderly is more common in men and in individuals with low BMI and low ADL scores.There is no increased risk of mortality in people with AsP, compared with people without AsP, but some risk factors in AsP patients may lead to poor prognosis, calling for increased awareness and early intervention in clinical practice.

Objective:To explore the efficacy and safety of Rivaroxaban in preventing catheter related thrombosis (CRT) in patients with breast cancer who are undergoing central venous catheter chemotherapy, and provide basis for making standardized prevention and treatment strategies.Methods:In this research, a prospective cohort study was adopted, and breast cancer patients who received central venous catheter chemotherapy in Sanhuan Cancer Hospital during September 2020 to March 2022 were selected as a treatment group to take the rivaroxaban anticoagulation therapy with 10 mg.po.qd for one month. The control group got no preventive anticoagulation therapy. Vascular ultrasound examination was taken to confirm the occurrence of CRT, and a chi-square test was done for comparison the disparity between the groups. Logistic regression was applied to analyze the univariate and multivariate factors for the formation of CRT.Results:In the research, a total of 235 patients were selected, and there were a total of 19 035 days of catheterization with 81 days of catheterization on average. While in the control group, the incidence of CRT was 28.0% (33/118), the incidence of CRT in the treatment group was 20.5% (24/117), the difference was no significant ( P=0.183). Subgroup analysis results showed that the peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) was performed in 165 cases with the CRT incidence of 18.2% (30/165) and thrombosis was mostly seen around axillary vein, accounting for 63.3%. Subclavian vein catheterization was performed in 63 cases with the CRT incidence of 39.7% (25/63), and thrombosis was mostly seen around subclavian vein, accounting for 88.0% (22/25). Implantable venous access port was implanted in 7 cases around subclavian vein and internal jugular vein with the CRT incidence of 28.6% (2/7). The patients who developed CRT within 30 days after catheterization accounted for 54.4% (31/57), 22.8% (13/57) in a period during 30 days and 60 days) and 22.8% (13/57) in a period during 60 days and 180 days). The diagnosed CRT patients had been treated with rivaroxaban 15 mg.bid.po for 3 months. During the 3 months, 100.0% of the thrombosis waned, 71.9% (41/57) of the thrombosis waned within 30 days, 19.3% (11/57) in a period during 30 and 60days and 8.8% (5/57) in a period during 60 days and 90 days. Univariate and multivariate analysis indicated that the risk of CRT in subclavian vein catheterization was higher than that in PICC, respectively ( OR=2.898, 95% CI:1.386-6.056 P=0.005), and the type of catheterization was an independent factor for the formation of thrombosis. Safety analysis result showed that in the prevention of CRT, rivaroxaban treatment did not induce drug-related bleeding, liver function damage, bone marrow suppression or any other side effects. While CRT diagnosed patients were treated with anticoagulation, they kept the central venous catheter, and the infusion was smooth. These patients all finished the anti-tumor treatment as planned, and no abnormalities like new thrombosis or pulmonary embolism were observed. Conclusions:In the mid-term analysis, the proportion of Rivaroxaban in preventing anticoagulant CRT decreases, but it don't reach statistical significance. The sample size should be further increased for observation. Rivaroxaban is proved effective and very safe in the treatment of CRT, and does not affect the concurrent chemotherapy. Medical personnel should carry out the policy of "early prevention, early detection and early treatment" for CRT so as to improve the patients' quality of life.

Objective:To analyze the prognostic factors and the influence of surgical margin to prognosis.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed for 208 pelvic tumors who received surgical treatment from January 2000 to December 2017 in our instituition. Survival analysis was performed using the Kaplan-Meier method and Log rank test, and impact factor analysis was performed using Cox regression models.Results:There were 183 initial patients and 25 recurrent cases. According to Enneking staging, 110 cases were stage ⅠB and 98 cases were stage ⅡB. 19 lesions were in zone Ⅰ, 1 in zone Ⅱ, 15 in zone Ⅲ, 29 in zone Ⅰ+Ⅱ, 71 in zone Ⅱ+Ⅲ, 29 in zone Ⅰ+Ⅳ, 35 in zone Ⅰ+Ⅱ+Ⅲ, 3 in zone Ⅰ+Ⅱ+Ⅳ, and 6 in zone Ⅰ+Ⅱ+Ⅲ+Ⅳ. Surgical margins including Intralesional excision in 7 cases, contaminated margin in 21 cases, marginal resection in 67 cases, and wide resection in 113 cases. Local recurrence occurred in 37 cases (17.8%), 25 cases were performed by reoperation and 12 cases received amputation finally. The 5-year recurrence rate of marginal resection was higher than wide resection ( P＜0.05), and the recurrence-free survival rate of marginal resection was lower than wide resection ( P＜0.05). There was significant differences in recurrence rate and recurrence-free survival rate between R0 and R1 resection ( P＜0.05). 92 cases were not reconstructed and 116 cases were reconstructed after pelvic surgery. At the last follow-up, 63 patients (30.3%) died, and the 5-year, 10-year and 15-year survival rates were 70.4%, 66.8% and 61.3%, respectively. The 5-year survival rate of stage ⅠB and ⅡB tumor was 90.4% and 46.8%, respectively. There were 29 cases had postoperative wound complications (13.8%), 1 case with pelvic organ injury. The final function was evaluated in 132 patients, with an average MSTS score of 25.1±3.6. Cox multivariate analysis showed that surgical staging, R0/R1 margin and metastasis were independent prognostic factors for pelvic tumors. Conclusions:The safe surgical margin is the key factor for recurrence-free of pelvic tumor. The survival rate of stage ⅡB pelvic tumors was significantly lower than that of stage ⅠB tumors. Wound infection is the main postoperative complication. Surgical staging, R0/R1 margin and metastasis were independent prognostic factors of pelvic tumors.
