BACKGROUND: Treatment with chimeric antigen receptor-T (CAR-T) cells has shown promising effectiveness in patients with relapsed/refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (R/R B-ALL), although the process of preparing for this therapy usually takes a long time. We have recently created CD19 Fast-CAR-T (F-CAR-T) cells, which can be produced within a single day. The objective of this study was to evaluate and contrast the effectiveness and safety of CD19 F-CAR-T cells with those of CD19 conventional CAR-T cells in the management of R/R B-ALL. METHODS: A multicenter, retrospective analysis of the clinical data of 44 patients with R/R B-ALL was conducted. Overall, 23 patients were administered with innovative CD19 F-CAR-T cells (F-CAR-T group), whereas 21 patients were given CD19 conventional CAR-T cells (C-CAR-T group). We compared the rates of complete remission (CR), minimal residual disease (MRD)-negative CR, leukemia-free survival (LFS), overall survival (OS), and the incidence of cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS) between the two groups. RESULTS: Compared with the C-CAR-T group, the F-CAR-T group had significantly higher CR and MRD-negative rates (95.7% and 91.3%, respectively; 71.4% and 66.7%, respectively; P = 0.036 and P = 0.044). No significant differences were observed in the 1-year or 2-year LFS or OS rates between the two groups: the 1-year and 2-year LFS for the F-CAR-T group vs.C-CAR-T group were 47.8% and 43.5% vs. 38.1% and 23.8% (P = 0.384 and P = 0.216), while the 1-year and 2-year OS rates were 65.2% and 56.5% vs. 52.4% and 47.6% (P = 0.395 and P = 0.540). Additionally, among CR patients who underwent allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) following CAR-T-cell therapy, there were no significant differences in the 1-year or 2-year LFS or OS rates: 57.1% and 50.0% vs. 47.8% and 34.8% (P = 0.506 and P = 0.356), 64.3% and 57.1% vs. 65.2% and 56.5% (P = 0.985 and P = 0.883), respectively. The incidence of CRS was greater in the F-CAR-T group (91.3%) than in the C-CAR-T group (66.7%) (P = 0.044). The incidence of ICANS was also greater in the F-CAR-T group (30.4%) than in the C-CAR-T group (9.5%) (P = 0.085), but no treatment-related deaths occurred in the two groups. CONCLUSION Compared with C-CAR-T-cell therapy, F-CAR-T-cell therapy has a superior remission rate but also leads to a tolerably increased incidence of CRS/ICANS. Further research is needed to explore the function of allo-HSCT as an intermediary therapy after CAR-T-cell therapy.

Objective The management of high-value medical consumables is a key challenge for healthcare institutions,yet medical record quality control(MRQC)is rarely applied in this area.This study aims to explore the role of MRQC in the management of high-value medical consumables.Methods A joint inspection team for MRQC was formed.Using the"High-Value Consumable Use Informed Consent Checklist,""High-Value Consumable Medical Record Sampling Statistics Table,""Surgical Operation Record Inspection Detail Table,"and"High-Value Medical Consumable Usage List Barcode Inspection Table,"we conducted random checks on the medical records of the top ten departments with high usage of these consumables.The main focus was on the informed consent forms,surgical operation records,barcode labeling of usage lists,and expense lists related to high-value medical consumables.We analyzed the consistency and compliance of registration information,informed consent forms,surgical records,and barcode labels,calculated defect rates for each indicator,identified causes of defects,and implemented quality improvements,including refining regulations and enhancing training;conducting reviews of high-value con-sumable medical records;initiating secondary management of high-value consumables;strengthening supervision;and establis-hing a long-term mechanism.Results Before improvements,the defect rates for informed consent forms,surgical records,and barcode labels were 13.3％,27.9％,and 42.7％,respectively.After improvements,these rates dropped to 1.4％,2.2％,and 1.6％.Comparisons of the three indicators before and after showed significant differences(P＜0.01).Conclusion The appli-cation of MRQC in managing high-value medical consumables is essential.Through medical record checks,we can achieve the"five checks and five correspondences"regarding the registration information of high-value medical consumables,informed con-sent forms,written records in surgical operation records,barcode labeling of usage lists,and expense lists.The key to successful implementation is thorough preparation before inspections,interdepartmental collaboration,problem-oriented self-assessment,strict discipline,and continuous improvement.

Objective:To study the distribution of CT doses to paediatric patients in Shanghai by investigating the CT dose parameters availiable in Shanghai′s children′s hospticals, and to provide the basis for establishing the diagnostic reference level for the paediatic patients subjected to CT scanning in Shanghai.Methods:In 2021, a general survey was carried out of the CT doses to the head, chest and abdomen of the scanned paediatric patients in four children′s hospitals in the municipality. The scanned paediatic patients were divided into four age groups of 0-, 1-, 5- and 10-15 years old, each with 30 subjects. The basic information were collected on the subjects, CT scanning parameters, volume CT dose index (CTDI vol) and dose length product (DLP). SPSS 16.0 was used to carry out statistical analysis of the differences in CTDI vol and DLP between different age groups at the same site and between different hospitals for the same age group at the same site. Results:The 75 th percentile values of CTDI vol and DLP for 0-, 1-, 5- and 10-15 age groups were 25, 25, 28, 43 mGy and 402, 477, 504, 752 mGy·cm, respectively, for head scanning; 2.7, 2.2, 2.8, 5.4 mGy and 40, 48, 75 and 176 mGy·cm for chest; and 4.9, 4.4, 8.2, 12 mGy and 106, 131, 273, 471 mGy·cm for abdomen. There were significant differences in CTDI vol and DLP between different age groups at the same site and between different hospitals for the same age group at the same site (head, chest and abdomen CTDI vol:χ2=221.68, 167.27, 127.07, DLP: χ2=220.63, 261.46, 216.61; for four age groups, CTDI vol: head χ2=30.46, 38.39, 25.21, 73.04, chest χ2=30.46, 35.69, 58.92, and 48.03, abdomen χ2=66.58, 41.62, 48.93, and 67.38; DLP: head χ2=28.82, 72.49, 47.72, 52.34, chest χ2=28.82, 35.95, 50.66, 41.64, abdomen χ2=45.53, 26.02 39.34, 44.24, P <0.05 ). Conclusions:The 75 th percentile values of CTDI vol and DLP for head, chest and abdomen in 4 children′s hospitals in Shanghai are lower or close to the values given in the relevant national standards and the diagnostic reference levels in some European countries, with higher DLP values on some scanning sites. The CT scanning procedures for paediatric patients needs to be further optimized.

Objective:To observe the changes of the structure and visual function of the retina in patients with or without the ectopic inner foveal layers (EIFL) and to explore the factors influencing the recovery of visual function in patients with idiopathic epimacular membrane (IMEM).Methods:A retrospective clinical study. From March 2015 to June 2019, 90 patients with MEM who were diagnosed by Ophthalmic Center of the Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University were enrolled in the study. All patients were examined by best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and frequency domain optical coherence scan. BCVA was recorded by Snellen vision table, and it was converted into the minimum resolution angle logarithm (logMAR) vision. Among 90 eyes, IMEM grade 2-4 was 68 (75.6%, 68/90), 18 (20.0%, 18/90), 4 (4.4%, 4/90), respectively. According to this, the grade 2 was set as group A, and the grade 3 and grade 4 were combined to group B. There was no significant difference in age ( t=0.015), sex composition ratio of patients between two groups ( χ2=0.060) and the average of central macular thickness (CMT) ( F=2.277) ( P=0.904, 0.809, 0.141). The difference of average logMAR and BCVA was statistically significant ( F=35.913, P=0.000). All patients underwent 25G pars plana three channel vitrectomy with simultaneous removal of epiretinal membrane and internal limiting membrane. BCVA, CMT and improvement of IMEM grading were observed at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months after operation. BCVA, EIFL thickness and CMT were compared before and after operation by single factor repeated variance analysis; Fisher exact probability method was used to compare the changes of the anatomical structure of the eyes in the two groups at 12 months after operation. Results:1, 3, 6, 12 months after operation, the average eyes of logMAR BCVA in group A were 0.50±0.13, 0.38±0.12, 0.27±0.12, 0.19±0.10. The patients in group B were 0.66±0.14, 0.60±0.13, 0.54±0.14, 0.52±0.14. CMT in group A were 364.82±81.29, 281.65±72.45, 228.55±55.34, 182.84±56.13 μm. The patients in group B were 455.88±69.60, 440.18±68.65, 383.76±65.38, 371.39±66.60 μm. The difference was statistically significant in the two groups (BCVA: F=37.913, 11.479, 24.250, 39.013; P=0.000, 0.002, 0.000, 0.000. CMT: F=10.987, 39.610, 55.789, 79.987; P=0.002, 0.000, 0.000, 0.000). In group A, IMEM was improved to 57 eyes of grade 1 on 12 months after operation. Among the 18 eyes in group B, IMEM was improved to 1 and 3 eyes in level 1 and level 2, respectively, and no improvement was found in 4 eyes in grade 4. The difference was statistically significant ( P=0.000) in the improvement of the number of eyes in the two groups. Conclusions:The patients with IMEM without EIFL have better visual prognosis and reversible anatomical changes. EIFL is an important factor affecting the visual function and anatomical structure recovery after operation.

OBJECTIVE：To analysis the correlation between chrom aticity value and quality index of Atractylodis chinensis decoction piece powder stir-fired with bran ，and to determine its processing time. METHODS ：The processed samples of 16 batches of A. chinensis decoction piece stir-fired with bran （S0-S15，S0 is the raw product of A. chinensis ）were prepared ，and chromaticity values of all samples were determined ，such as lightness value （L*），yellow blue value （b*），red green value （a*）. UPLC fingerprint of sample were analyzed ，and the contents of extract and volatile oil were also determined. Pearson correlation was used to analyze the correlation between the chromaticity value and quality index （relative peak area of each chromatographic peak in UPLC fingerprint ，water-soluble extract content ，alcohol-soluble extract content and volatile oil content ）. Multivariate statistical analysis （principal component analysis ，cluster analysis ，partial least squares discriminant analysis ）was carried out with chromaticity value and quality index ，and the processing time of A. chinensis decoction piece stir-fired with bran was determined by grey correlation method. RESULTS ：In the process of bran frying ，with the extension of processing time ，L* and b* of decoction pieces powder decreased ，and a* increased first and then decreased ；relative areas of peak 1 and peak 2 increased first and then decreased，while relative areas of peak 3（5-hydroxymethyl furfural ）increased，and the areas of the other peaks decreased. The content of the extract did not change significantly with time ，and the content of the volatile oil decreased. The results of correlation analysis showed that the relative peak area of peak 2-27，alcohol-soluble extract content and volatile oil content had a certain correlation with the chromaticity value ，while the relative peak area of peak 1 and water-soluble extract content had no linear correlation with the chromaticity value. Results of multivariate statistical analysis showed that the samples were divided into mild （S0-S5），excessive （S12-S15），moderate （S6-processing time of 18-33 min）. The results of grey correlation method showed that the processing time of A. chinensis decoction piece stir-fired w ith bran should be controlled in the range of 18-24 min，and the optimal processing time was 18 min. CONCLUSIONS ：There is a correlation between chromaticity value of A. chinensis decoction piece powder stir-fired with bran and the relative peak area of 27 chromatographic peaks ，and content of extract and volatile oil. It is suggested that the processing time should be 18 min.

Objective:To investigate the 2 years’ efficacy of intravesical instillation of domestic BCG versus epirubicin in the prevention of recurrence of intermediate-risk or high-risk non-muscular invasive bladder cancer and predictive factors of BCG instillation.Methods:From July 2015 to June 2020, 18-75 years old patients with moderate to high-risk non muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) confirmed by pathological examination were involved. The ECOG score was 0-2. Exclusion criteria included ①immune deficiency or impairment (such as AIDS), using immunosuppressive drugs or radiotherapy, suspected allergic to BCG or epirubicin or excipients of the two drugs, fever or acute infectious diseases including active tuberculosis or receiving anti tuberculosis treatment, with severe chronic cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases or chronic kidney disease; ②combined with other urogenital system tumors or other organ tumors; ③combined with muscle invasive bladder urothelial carcinoma (≥T 2); ④undergoing chemotherapy, radiotherapy or immunotherapy within 4 weeks (immediate instillation after surgery not included); ⑤ pregnant or lactating women; ⑥ comfirmed or suspected bladder perforation; ⑦gross hematuria; ⑧cystitis with severe bladder irritation that may affect the evaluation; ⑨participat in other clinical trials within 3 months; ⑩alcohol or drug addiction; ?any risk factors that may increasing the risk of patients. Epirubicin 50 mg was irrigated immediately after the operation(TURBT or laser resection). The patients were randomly divided into BCG15 group, BCG19 group and epirubicin group by the ratio of 2∶2∶1, and the patients were maintained intravescical instillation for 1 year. The recurrence and adverse events of the three groups were compared. Univariate and multivariate analysis was performed to predict the risk factors of BCG irrigated therapy failure. Result:By June 15, 2020, the median follow-up duration was 22.1 months(12.1, 32.3), and there was no statistical difference between the groups ( P=0.9024). There were 274 patients enrolled in BCG19 group, 277 patients enrolled in BCG15 group and 130 patients enrolled in the epirubicin group. The drop-off rate was 16.6%(113 cases)and made no difference between groups( P=0.6222). There were no significant difference in age, gender, BMI, or ECOG score( P>0.05). During the follow-up, 116 cases was detected recurrence or progression. The recurrence rate of the three groups was 14.2% and 14.8% in BCG19 group and BCG15 group, and 27.7% in the epirubicin group. There was no difference in recurrence rate between BCG19 and BCG15 group( P=0.9464). The recurrence rate of BCG19 group was lower than that of the epirubicin group ( P=0.0017). The recurrence rate of BCG15 group was lower than that of the epirubicin group ( P=0.0020). There was no difference in the cumulative recurrence free survival rate between BCG19 and BCG15 group (95% CI0.57-1.46, P=0.7173). The cumulative recurrence free survival rate of BCG 19 group was better than that of the epirubicin group( HR=0.439, 95% CI0.26-0.74, P=0.0006), and the cumulative recurrence free survival rate of BCG15 group was better than that of the epirubicin group ( HR=0.448, 95% CI0.29-0.80, P=0.0021). The total incidence of adverse events in 19 BCG19, BCG15 and epirubicin group were 74.5%, 72.6% and 69.8% respectively. There was no difference in the incidence of adverse events between BCG19 and BCG15 group( P=0.6153). The incidence of adverse events in epirubicin group was lower than that of BCG19( P=0.0051) and BCG15( P=0.0167) groups.There was no significant difference in the incidence of serious adverse events (SAE) among the three groups ( P=0.5064). Log rank test univariate analysis and Cox risk regression model multivariate analysis showed that the history of bladder cancer recurrence( HR=6.397, 95% CI1.95-20.94, P=0.0001)was independent risk factor for BCG irrigation failure. Conclusions:The 2 years’ efficacy of intravesical instillation of domestic BCG is better than than of epirubicin with good tolerance and safety. There is no difference between BCG19 and BCG15 group. BCG doesn’t increase SAE compared with epirubicin. Recurrence status was an independent prognostic factor regarding recurrence-free survival.

Objective:To explore the effect of previous intestinal resection on anastomotic fistula within 30 days after surgery in Crohn′s disease.Methods:The clinical data from 92 Crohn′s disease patients who underwent intestinal resection and anastomosis at the Department of General Surgery in Shanghai Ninth People′s Hospital, Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine from Jan 2016 to Sep 2019. Patients were divided into no previous intestinal resection group ( n=45) and previous intestinal resection group ( n=47). The relationship between previous intestinal resection and postoperative anastomotic leak in Crohn′s disease patients with intestinal resection and anastomosis was analyzed. Results:A total of 11 cases (12% leak rate) underwent postoperative anastomotic leak. There were 2 leaks in patients with no previous history of intestinal resection, while 9 leaks in patients with previous bowel resection (χ 2 =4.722, P=0.03). The OR of the postoperative anastomotic leak in Crohn′s disease patients with previous intestinal resection compared with no previous intestinal resection group was 5.092 (95% CI: 1.035-25.048). Patients with 1 previous resection (24 cases) had a leak rate of 13%, whereas patients with >1 previous resection episodes (23 cases) had a leak rate of 26%. The number of previous resection episodes correlated with an increasing risk for clinical anastomotic leak (correlation coefficien r=0.995). Conclusions:Previous intestinal resection is an independent risk factor for ensuing postoperative anastomotic leak in Crohn′s disease patients with intestinal resection and anastomosis.

Objective:To investigate the isolation characteristics and the antibiotic resistance of Streptococcus pneumoniae in hospitalized children from the Bao′an District of Shenzhen for many consecutive years, and to provide evidence for the assessment as well as clinical prevention and treatment of Streptococcus pneumoniae infection. Methods:The isolation rate and sample source of Streptococcus pneumoniae isolates as well as age composition of hospitalized children in Bao′an Maternal and Child Health Hospital of Shenzhen city from January 2012 to December 2018 were retrospectively analyzed.The susceptibility of the isolates to antibiotics was tested by disk diffusion method and E-test method. Results:(1) From 2012 to 2018, a total of 90 807 specimens were retrospectively summarized, 9 193 strains of Streptococcus pneumoniae were isolated, with an isolation rate of 10.1%, which was the first pathogen; 98.68% (9 072/9 193 cases) from respiratory tract samples and 97.20% from sputum samples.Among 107 strains isolated from aseptic body fluid specimens, 97 strains were blood specimens. Streptococcus pneumoniae was the most common bacteria with positive culture in aseptic body fluids.(2) The isolation rate of Streptococcus pneumoniae was 10.7% in children under 2 years old, 10.2% in children between 2 and 5 years old and 4.1% in children over 5 years old.About 97% of Streptococcus pneumoniae isolates came from children under 5 years old.(3) According to breakpoints of non-meningitis strains, the sensitivity rate of parenteral Penicillin was 93.18%, the mediation rate was 6.79%, the resistance rate was only 0.03%, the lowest drug concentration to inhibit the growth of 50% bacteria(MIC 50) value was 0.50 and the lowest drug concentration to inhibit the growth of 90% bacteria(MIC 90) value was 2.00; the sensitivity rate of Ceftria-xone was 76.55%, the mediation rate was 20.18%, the resistance rate was 3.26%, the MIC 50 value was 1.00 and the MIC 90 value was 2.00; when interpreted by the breakpoint of meningitis strains, the resistance rate of extra-gastrointestinal Penicillin reached 77.22%, and the mediation rate of Ceftriaxone increased to 30.48% and the drug resistance rate reached 18.45%.The drug resistance rates of Erythromycin, Clindamycin, Tetracycline and Compound neomycin were all over 85.00%.The resistance rates against Levofloxacin and Chloramphenicol were 0.16% and 7.85% respectively.No Vancomycin-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae was found. Conclusions:Streptococcus pneumoniae is the first bacterial pathogen causing respiratory tract and invasive infection in hospitalized children under 5 years old in this area.Penicillin is still the preferred drug for non-meningitis pneumococcal infection, but the drug resistance rate is high in meningitis patients.
