2.Paraneoplastic neurological syndrome with positive SOX-1, GABABR, and VGCC antibodies: A case report and literature review
Journal of Apoplexy and Nervous Diseases 2023;40(12):1114-1118
Objective Paraneoplastic neurological syndrome is a rare immune-mediated disease induced by underlying tumors, and early identification of special subtypes of paraneoplastic syndrome and specific autoantibodies can guide efficient tumor screening, thereby promoting timely antitumor treatment and prolonging survival time. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed for the diagnosis and treatment of a case of paraneoplastic neurological syndrome with multiple clinical phenotypes and multiple autoantibodies who was admittd to Department of Neurology, Weifang People’s Hospital, and a systmatical review was performed for related articles. Results The patient presented with unsteady gait and mental and behavioral disorders in the early stage and was initially diagnosed with paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration and paraneoplastic limbic encephalitis with positive anti-SOX-1 and anti-GABABR antibodies. Due to abnormal electrophysiological results and positive P/Q-type VGCC antibodies, the patient was considered to have Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome, and all evidence suggested that the patient had occult small cell lung cancer. Finally thoracoscopic biopsy confirmed that lymph node enlargement on PET-CT was in accordance with the pathological changes of small cell lung cancer. The patient received both antitumor treatment and immunotherapy and had a survival time of 19 months. Conclusion The detection of anti-SOX1 antibodies should promote the screening for small cell lung cancer. In patients with paraneoplastic limbic encephalitis and paraneoplastic neuromuscular syndromes mediated by cell surface antibodies, immunotherapy should be initiated in parallel with antitumor treatment, and such patients tend to have a good prognosis.

Objective:To survey the status of antihypertensive therapy knowledge and hypertension management among general practitioners in community health centers (CHCs) in China.Methods:Based on the eastern, western, southern and northern regions of the country, 350 CHCs were selected from 11 cities across the country with stratified sampling method for study sites, and one general practitioner was selected from each CHC. The questionnaire survey was conducted from March 12 to April 20, 2018 among 350 participants. The content of the questionnaire included the proportion of hypertensive patients in the consultation, treatment target rate, antihypertensive drugs and protocol, the medication compliance, follow-up, blood pressure self-measurement, and the impact of hierachical medical system on CHC.Results:Total 350 valid questionnaires were recovered. The survey showed that: (1) Among the patients treated by general practitioners, 46% (30%, 60%) were hypertensive patients including 41% (40%, 55%) with primary hypertension and 42% (40%, 50%) with secondary hypertension; 72% (60%, 80%) of the patients had comorbidities, including dyslipidemia, diabetes, and coronary heart disease. (2) Western medicine was the main antihypertensive treatment [90% (82%, 100%) ], calcium channel blockers were the most commonly used antihypertensive drug [46%(30%,60%)], the therapeutic protocol was mainly single agent [35% (25%, 50%) ]or free combination [50% (40%, 60%) ]; the stable(9.1±0.8), long-acting (9.0±0.9) and high standard reaching rate (8.1±1.1) antihypertensive drugs were first considered, and the standard reaching rate of hypertension treatment was 61% (50%, 75%) . (3) The regular follow-up rate, adherence to blood pressure self-test rate and long-term regular medication rate was 60%(50%,70%), 51%(40%,70%) and 65%(50%,70%), respectively. The factors affecting patients′ compliance were history of cardiovascular diseases (8.4±1.1)and patients′ cognition of disease(8.3±1.1). General practitioners believed that the positive effects of the hierarchical diagnosis and treatment system include helping to establish a closer relationship with patients [62.6% (219/350)] and improving patient compliance for community preferential reimbursement policies[58.6% (205/350) ]. The challenges faced by CHC included higher patient expectations [52.8% (185/350)] and increased outpatient visits [52.6% (184/350)]. Insufficient diagnostic equipment [68.3% (239/350)], inadequate dispensing [52.3% (183/350)] and other issues restricted the development of CHC, and the clinical competence of general practitioners [51.7% (181/350)] need to be improved.Conclusion:Patients with hypertension account for about half of the total number of visits in community health service centers, and most of them are comorbid with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases or risk factors. The long-term treatment compliance and self-management of blood pressure need to be further improved.

Objective:To assess the concept and clinical practice of general practitioners in community health service centers (CHCs) on the use of antiplatelet drugs (APD) to prevent cardiovascular diseases(CVD).Methods:Based on the eastern, western, southern and northern regions of the country, 350 CHCs were selected from 11 cities across the country with stratified sampling method for study sites, and one general practitioner was selected from each CHC. The questionnaire survey was conducted from March 12 to April 20, 2018 among 350 participants. The content of the questionnaire included the situation of CVD patients, application of APD in primary/secondary prevention of CVD (schemes and regimes), the prescription concept of APD, and influencing factors.Results:Total 350 valid questionnaires were recovered. The survey showed that among all patients general practitioners routinely took care, 46% (30%, 60%) were hypertensive patients; 96.6% (338/350) of the general practitioners said that they had carried out primary prevention, mainly for patients with hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia or carotid artery plaque, and 34% (20%, 45%) of the patients had taken primary prevention drugs; the use of APD only accounted for 47% (35%, 60%) , among which 87% (80%, 95%) was aspirin. The main impediments were lack of awareness of disease from patients[ (8.0±1.4) points] and lack of awareness of primary prophylaxis from general practitioners[ (7.3±1.4) points]. The survey also showed that 28% (20%, 35%) and 17% (10%, 20%) patients were diagnosed as coronary heart disease and stroke, respectively; 83% (80%, 95%) of patients with coronary heart disease or stroke used APD for secondary prophylaxis; for coronary heart disease patients, 82% (70%, 95%) taking aspirin or clopidogrel, 18% (5%, 30%) taking aspirin and clopidogrel for 11 months; for stroke patients, 85% (80%, 95%) taking aspirin or clopidogrel, 15% (5%, 20%) taking aspirin and clopidogrel for 9 months. Compared with clopidogrel, aspirin had a relatively high score for clinical experience (8.3±1.1) and reasonable cost of treatment (8.3±1.3) .Most coronary heart disease patients (68%±15%) and stroke patients (70%±17%) took APD regularly. The lack of knowledge of disease [(8.4±1.1) points] and awareness of regular medication [(8.2±1.2) points] were the main factors affecting compliance of patients.Conclusion:The use of APD in primary prevention of CVD for general practitioners is insufficient, and there is still a big gap between the standardization and the practice in secondary prevention; in particular, the selection of APDs and treatment course should strictly follow the guidelines.

Objective: To investigate the characteristics, diagnosis, primary detection, and prognosis of cervical lymph node metastases of squamous cell carcinoma of unknown primary site (SCCUP). Methods: This study retrospectively analyzed the clinical features and follow-up data of 262 patients with SCCUP. The Chi-square test were used to analyze the clinical performances, characteristics of pri-mary lesions, and sensitivity and specificity of examinations to identify original lesions. Factors related to the overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were also analyzed. Results: The 262 patients with SCCUP comprised more men, with a median age of 57 years. At the follow-up, 70 patients were diagnosed with primary lesions (26.7%), and the detection rates of primary lymph nodes in those who were male (30.1%), with a single lesion site (31%), and with levelⅣdisease (39.3%) were higher than those in patients who were female (17.4%), with multiple lesion sites (18.7%), and with levelⅡ/Ⅲdisease (20.8%). Compared with traditional imaging examinations, 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) had higher sensitivity and speci-ficity in detecting the primary tumor. Survival analysis showed that distant metastasis was an independent risk factor affecting OS and PFS, and the effect of N stage on PFS was statistically significant. Conclusions: In SCCUP patients, the proportion of patients who were male, with a single lesion site, and with cervicalⅣlymph node metastasis had higher rates of detection of the primary sites. PET/CT examination is important for the diagnosis of SCCUP, as well as the detection of primary lesions. Advanced N stage and distant metasta-sis indicated poor prognosis.

Parkinson′s disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease following Alzheimer′s disease, including motor and non?motor symptoms. Non?motor symptoms are mainly autonomic nervous dysfunction,which occur about 5-20 years earlier than motor symptoms. Abnormal blood pressure regulation is a common manifestation of autonomic nervous dysfunction. Long?term abnormal blood pressure can seriously hamper the quality of life and trigger deterioration of motor symptoms. Thus, it is necessary to obtain correct understanding of the etiology, mechanism, clinical features, diagnosis and treatment of PD with blood pressure regulation disorders in order to reduce the mortality rate and the burden of medical health. This article reviews the influencing factors,characteristics,mechanisms and management of PD with blood pressure regulation disorder.

Objective To study the optical imaging quality of multifocal intraocular lens (IOL) following Nd∶YAG laser damage.Methods Three hydrophobic acrylate discs used to make multifocal IOL were placed in line,and the Nd∶YAG laser was used to emit the posterior surface,mid-plane and anterior surface of the discs by gradually increasing the emitting energy to determine the damaged threshold energy of various planes.Eight multifocal IOLs were divided into 2 groups.IOL damage models were established by emitting 12 points along 12 clocks on circle of 3.0 mm in diameter in the group 1 (IOLs NO.1,2,3,4) and 6 points with 1-clock interval on circle of 1.0 mm in diameter in the group 2 (IOLs NO.5,6,7,8) with Nd∶YAG laser.The modulation transfer function (MTF),line spread function (LSF) and United States air force (USAF) test target images of the IOLs were tested under the optical aperture at 2.0,3.0 and 4.5 mm.Results The damage thresholds of laser power were not significantly different among three hydrophobic acrylate discs (Fgroup =1.100,P =0.337),and the thresholds were significantly different among different planes in the discs (Fposition =195.279,P=0.000),with the highest damage threshold in the anterior surface and the lowest damage threshold in the mid-plane of the discs(all at P<0.01).The shifts of far focus and near focus MTF curves,LSF curves and USAF target images of the IOLs under the 2.0,3.0 and 4.5 mm optical aperture after laser damage were in coincidence with those before laser damage both in group 1 and group 2.The glare phenomenon of the USAF target image was observed at near focus under the 4.5 mm optical aperture both before and after laser damage.Conclusions Multifocal IOL is vulnerable to injury when the laser beam focuses on the midplane,and the anterior surface of IOL can tolerate certain degree of damage.In standard model eye,the MTF curves,LSF curves and USAF target images of multifocal IOL was not impacted by laser induced spots injuries under different pupil diameters.

Objective To investigate the relationship between liver cancer and the water environment, we analyzed the life expectancy in 14 counties (districts), which form the Huai River Basin with respect to liver cancer deaths in 2013 and changes in the surface water quality from 2004 to 2010. Methods The study area included the 14 counties (districts) of the Huai River Basin in China. We obtained surveillance data for all causes of death in the study area during 2013, as well as data for International Classification of Diseases,Tenth Edition(ICD-10) code C22 or liver cancer. Life expectancy and life expectancy after elimination of liver cancer were then calculated. Based on water quality monitoring data from the China Environment Yearbook 2005-2011, we analyzed the water environment of the Huai River Basin, and changes in the water quality. According to the“Encyclopedia of Rivers and Lakes in China”(Huai River Basin section), we divided the river basin into five categories: upstream basin (upstream);midstream, north shore of the basin (midstream-north);midstream, south shore of the basin (midstream-south);downstream basin (downstream); and the Yishusi River Basin. To calculate the life expectancy and life expectancy after elimination of liver cancer in the study area, we used the Nemerow Pollution Index (NPI), to investigate the relationship between liver cancer and the water environment. Results Life expectancy in the 14 study districts varied from 68.99 years (Shenqiu County) to 78.85 years (Jinhu County). Gains in life expectancy after elimination of liver cancer varied from 0.86 to 0.31 years. Midstream-north showed the greatest improvement, with overall gain in life expectancy of 0.77 years;this gain was 1.04 years for males and 0.40 years for females. Yishusi River Basin showed the least improvement, with overall gain in life expectancy of 0.41 years;this gain was 0.54 years for males and 0.24 years for females. For the 7 years from 2004 to 2010, midstream-north had the highest annual NPI values, at 2.08, 1.74, 1.64, 1.81, 1.41, 1.26, and 1.06, respectively. There was a positive correlation between NPI and life expectancy gain for both males and females (r=0.64, P=0.014). There was positive correlation between NPI and life expectancy gain among males alone (r=0.64, P=0.014); there was no significant correlation between NPI and life expectancy gain among females (r=0.44, P=0.115). Conclusion Liver cancer had a significant impact on life expectancy in the Huai River Basin. The gain in life expectancy was higher for males than for females. There is a possible relationship between liver cancer deaths and the water environment in the research area, but this study did not infer a causal association.
