OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy， safety and cost-effectiveness of toripalimab （Tor） combined with chemotherapy （CT） in the treatment of locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer （NSCLC）. METHODS PubMed， the Cochrane Library， Embase， Web of Science， CBM， CNKI， Wanfang Data， and Health Technology Assessment （HTA） related websites were searched to collect the HTA reports， systematic reviews/meta-analyses and pharmacoeconomic studies of Tor+CT in the treatment of locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC from database/website inception to March 31， 2025. After data extraction and quality evaluation， the results of the included studies were analyzed descriptively. RESULTS A total of eleven studies were included， involving five systematic reviews/meta-analyses， and six pharmacoeconomic studies. Among the five systematic reviews/ meta-analyses， two were of high quality， while there was one each of moderate， low， and very low quality. All six pharmacoeconomic studies were of good quality. In terms of efficacy， compared with CT， Tor+CT significantly improved patients’ progression-free survival （PFS） and overall survival （P＜0.05）. In addition， compared with ipilimumab+CT， durvalumab， durvalumab+tremelimumab and sugemalimab+CT， Tor+CT could also improve the PFS （P＜0.05）. In terms of safety， there was no significant difference in the incidence of grade≥3 adverse events between patients receiving Tor+CT and CT （P＞0.05）； while Tor+CT had a lower incidence of grade≥3 adverse E-mail： events， compared with camrelizumab+CT， pembrolizumab+ 3233255290@qq.com ipilimumab， nivolumab+CT and atezolizumab+CT （P＜0.05）.In terms of cost-effectiveness， Tor+CT treatment had certain cost-effectiveness advantages， compared with CT. CONCLUSIONS Compared with CT， other programmed death-1/programmed death-ligand 1 inhibitors alone， or their combination with CT， Tor+CT for the treatment of locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC has good efficacy， safety and cost-effectiveness.

Objective To explore the role and mechanism of warm malate ringer's solution(MR)in resuscitation of the lethal triad caused by severe trauma.Methods A rat model of severe trauma was established in SPF-grade SD rats(half male and half female,weighing 200～220 g)using combined multiple injuries and hemorrhagic shock,and the rats were randomly divided into 8 groups(n=8):Sham group,only arterial and venous catheterization;Trauma(Tra)groups with different time points(10,30,60,90,120,180 min)and a Trauma group that were observed without any treatment for 180 min after model establishment.The changes of activated clotting time(ACT),reaction time(R),maximum amplitude(MA),and rate of blood clot formation(Angle)at different time points were detected by using thromboelastography,and tail bleeding,core body temperature and arterial blood gas parameters,were also observed and detected.The plasma von Willebrand Factor(vWF)level,mitochondrial respiratory control ratio in pulmonary venous endothelium,and expression levels of vascular endothelial cadherin(VE-Cadherin),peroxisome proliferator activating receptor gamma coactivator 1α(PGC1α),dynamin-related protein 1(Drp1),p-Drp1,and mitofusin 2(Mfn2)were detected to evaluate the vascular endothelial injury and mitochondrial dysfunction.Another group of SD rats were randomly divided into severe trauma group(no treatment for 180 min after injury),and MR solution at room temperature and at 37 ℃ groups.MR solution at room temperature or at 37 ℃ was given to the rats using a medical blood transfusion apparatus at 60 min post-trauma.Above indicators were observed and detected to investigate the resuscitation effect of the MR solution.Results Compared with the Sham group,the severely traumatic rats at 180 min after injury had significantly prolonged ACT and R values(P＜0.05),shortened MA and decreased Angle values(P＜0.05),extended tail bleeding time(P＜0.05),lower partial pressure of carbon dioxide(PCO2)and HCO3-and base excess(BE)levels(P＜0.05),and continuously increasing K+(P＜0.05)and decreasing Na+(P＜0.05)and Ca2+levels(P＜0.05).Additionally,plasma vWF level(P＜0.05)and protein levels of VE-cadherin,PGC1α and Mfn2 in pulmonary vein endothelium were significantly reduced(P＜0.05),the expression of p-Drp1 was enhanced and the mitochondrial respiration control rate was declined in the rats at 180 min after injury(P＜0.05).MR solution resuscitation shortened tail bleeding time(P＜0.05),increased core body temperature(P＜0.05),elevated plasma vWF level(P＜0.05),increased protein levels of VE-cadherin,PGC1α and Mfn2(P＜0.05),and decreased that of p-Drp1 protein expression(P＜0.05)when compared with the rats at 180 min after severe traumatic injury.The above effects were more significant in the rats infused with the solution at 37 ℃ than those at room temperature.Conclusion Warm MR solution significantly improves the lethal triad in rats after severe trauma,which may be associated with its improving mitochondrial function and attenuating vascular endothelial damage.

Objective:To investigate the clinical effect of arthroscopic combined fixation of acromioclavicular joint in the treatment of acute acromioclavicular dislocation.Methods:A retrospective controlled analysis was conducted on 40 patients with acute dislocation of the acromioclavicular joint were treated in Qinhuangdao First Hospital of Hebei Medical University from February 2021 to December 2023. There were 30 males and 10 females, aged from 22 to 54 years, with an average age of (40.55±7.75) years. The patients were divided into two groups based on the surgical method used. The observation group included 19 patients who were treated with Tightrope and suture to reconstruct the coracoclavicular ligament and acromioclavicular ligament, while the control group included 21 patients who were treated with Tightrope to reconstruct the coracoclavicular ligament only. All patients were followed up postoperatively, and their preoperative and postoperative data were recorded. The visual analogue scale (VAS) for pain, Constant score and coracoclavicular distance values of the two groups of patients before surgery and one year after surgery were recorded and compared. The changes of the internal fixation devices were observed. The measurement data with normal distribution were expressed as mean±standard deviation ( ± s), and the t-test was used for comparison between groups, skewed continuous data were presented as [ M( Q1, Q3)], and intergroup comparisons were performed using the Mann-Whitney U test; the count data were expressed as cases and percentages [ n(%)], and the chi-square test was used for comparison between groups. Results:There was no significant difference in the general information (gender, age, affected side, time from injury to operation) between the two groups ( P>0.05). The last follow-up showed that two patients in the control group had early failure of the implant, one of whom had an infection after surgery, and one of whom had obvious displacement of the Tightrope early on. All patients in the observation group were healed by first intention, without any postoperative early complications such as wound infection, early failure of internal fixation, etc. There was no statistically significant difference in the VAS score between the two groups ( P>0.05); the Constant score 85(84, 89) of the observation group was higher than that of the control group 82(80, 85), and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05); the VAS score and Constant score of both groups after surgery were significantly improved compared with those before surgery ( P<0.05). One year after operation the coracoclavicular distance was 8.5(8.0-8.8) mm in observation group, and 10.3(9.7, 10.6) mm in control group ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The method of reconstructing the coracoclavicular ligament and acromioclavicular ligament complex fixation with Tightrope and suture using arthroscopy is reliable and has fewer postoperative complications. It is a better method than using Tightrope alone to fix the coracoclavicular ligament for the treatment of acute Rockwood Ⅲ to Ⅴ type acromioclavicular dislocation.

Objective To investigate the distribution of TCM syndromes and syndrome elements of irritable bowel syndrome(IBS);To provide reference for clinical TCM syndrome differentiation and treatment.Methods The patients with IBS who filled in the questionnaire were collected from 18 tertiary Chinese medicine hospitals in China from November 2019 to December 2022,including Xiyuan Hospital,China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences,Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine,the First Affiliated Hospital of Henan University of Traditional Chinese Medicine.The contents of questionnaire included the patients'general condition,medical history(onset time,condition changes),Rome Ⅳ symptom diagnostic scale,somatic symptom cluster scale,quality of life scale,hospital anxiety and depression scale,TCM syndromes,etc.The methods of factor analysis and systematic clustering analysis were used,the factors of disease and syndrome were extracted,and the classification of TCM syndrome types was summarized.Results Totally 157 patients were included,87 were male and 70 were female.The age was from 18 to 74 years old.The longest course of disease was 30 years and the shortest was 3 months,with an average of(48.31±5.61)months.Anxiety score:was 3.66±0.30,depression score was 3.39±0.28.The most common TCM symptom was emotional distress(83.4%),followed by diarrhea(80.9%)and abdominal pain(72.6%).The results of factor analysis showed that rotation finally converged after 16 iterations,and 8 common factors and 33 variables were obtained,with a cumulative contribution rate of 60.016%.The sites of IBS were mainly distributed in liver,spleen,large intestine and stomach.The main syndrome factors were qi stagnation,phlegm,dampness,heat and yang deficiency.The results of clustering analysis of 8 common factors showed that the main TCM syndrome types were liver depression and qi stagnation syndrome,damp-heat internal accumulation syndrome,liver depression and spleen deficiency syndrome,and liver-stomach digression syndrome.The main TCM syndrome of diarrhea-predominant IBS was liver stagnation and spleen deficiency syndrome,and the main TCM syndrome of mixed type and constipation type was damp-heat accumulation syndrome.There were statistically significant differences in the distribution of TCM syndrome types in patients with different types(P<0.05).Conclusion The location of IBS is mainly in liver,spleen and large intestine,especially in liver.The TCM syndrome types are mainly liver depression and qi stagnation syndrome,damp-heat internal accumulation syndrome,liver depression and spleen deficiency syndrome.

The human gastrointestinal tract is the largest reservoir of bacteria in the body,inhabiting a very complex and active microbial community.Under normal circumstances,the interaction between the intestinal flora and the host maintains a dynamic balance.Spleen deficiency syndrome is a common classic syndrome type in TCM clinical practice.A large number of studies have shown that spleen deficiency syndrome is closely related to intestinal microorganisms,and the balance of intestinal flora is the basis for the normal functioning of the spleen's main transportation and transformation functions.Intestinal flora imbalance can lead to a series of manifestations of spleen deficiency.In addition,intestinal flora is an important medium for the metabolism of polysaccharide components and the effectiveness of traditional Chinese medicine for invigorating the spleen,and traditional Chinese medicine for invigorating the spleen can also play a therapeutic role by regulating the structure and quantity of intestinal flora.This article summarizes the relationship between intestinal flora and spleen deficiency syndrome in physiology,pathology,and the efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine for invigorating the spleen.Based on intestinal flora,the study of spleen deficiency syndrome aims to provide some thoughts and suggestions for revealing the connotation of spleen deficiency syndrome in traditional Chinese medicine.

Objective:To investigate the factors for serious complications within 30 days after surgery in elderly patients with advanced epithelial ovarian cancer(EOC)who undertook primary debulking surgery(PDS).Methods:The clinical data of International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics(FIGO)stage ⅢC/Ⅳ EOC patients aged≥60 years who received PDS in gynecological department of National Cancer Center and National Center of Gerontology between January 2014 and December 2018 were retrospectively analyzed.Clavien-Dindo scoring system was applied to grade the complications within 30 days after surgery.The serious early postoperative complications were those of grade Ⅲ or above occurred within 30 days after surgery.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to screen the independent risk factors of serious complications within 30 days after surgery.Results:A total of 133 patients were included in this study and serious complications rated 11.3%(15/133). The mean age of patients in severe complication group was significantly higher than that in the control group[(69.80±6.56) vs.(65.87±5.14), t=2.699, P=0.008]. The proportion of patients with preoperative ECOG score≥2 was significantly higher in the severe complication group than that in the control group[26.7%(4/15) vs.5.9%(7/118), χ2=4.985, P=0.026], and the proportion of preoperative hypoalbuminemia(<35 g/L)was significantly higher in the severe complication group[20.0%(3/15) vs.3.4%(4/118), χ2=4.897, P=0.027]. However, there was no significant difference in intraoperative bleeding, R0 resection rate as well as surgical complexity( χ2=1.964, 0.330, 4.637, all P>0.05)between the two groups.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that the independent factors for serious early postoperative complications were age≥70 years( OR=4.345, P=0.028), ECOG score≥2( OR=25.619, P=0.008)and preoperative albumin <35 g/L( OR=6.733, P=0.040). Conclusions:In the elderly ovarian cancer patients, individualized perioperative management should be strengthened for the patients with factors associated with serious early postoperative complications, in order to reduce severe complications and improve the prognosis.

ObjectiveTo discover and analyze single or several correlative key amino acid sites that influence the host tropism during the influenza A virus （IAV） infection based on complete internal protein gene segments of IAV strains， and to provide evidence for the study of human host-adaptive mutations of IAV. MethodsThe full-length nucleotide sequences of 43 671 IAV strains containing 6 complete internal gene segments were downloaded from the GISAID EpiFlu^TM database， and 698 human-tropic （HU） and 1 266 avian-tropic （AV） representative strains were included. The consensus coding sequences of the representative strains from the amphitropic category were compared by R script， and the differential amino acid sites and their polymorphisms were then obtained. The multi-site combination analysis of differential sites was conducted with R script. ResultsA total of 49 and 57 conserved differential sites were obtained from the consensus sequence comparison between AV and H1N1 （subtype from HU）， and comparison between AV and H3N2 （another subtype from HU）， separately. 79 and 65 multi-site combinations were found between HU and AV strains through 3 and 4 sites combination analysis， respectively， and a total of 11 conserved sites were involved： site 271 and 684 in PB2； site 336， 486， 581 and 621 in PB1； site 204 and 356 in PA； site 33， 305 and 357 in NP. No eligible differential sites were found in M1 and NS1. ConclusionSeveral conserved amino acid differential sites， between HU and AV strains of IAV， are found in PB2， PB1， PA and NP proteins. Instead of working as single units， these sites may have interactions， forming specific amino acid combinations that determine the host tropism of IAV collectively.

BACKGROUND: Aurora kinases (AURKs) family plays a vital role not only in cell division but also in tumorigenesis. However, there are still rare systematic analyses of the diverse expression patterns and prognostic value of the AURKs family in breast cancer (BC). Systematic bioinformatics analysis was conducted to explore the biological role, prognostic value, and immunologic function of AURKs family in BC. METHODS: The expression, prognostic value, and clinical functions of AURKs family in BC were evaluated with several bioinformatics web portals: ONCOMINE Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis, Kaplan-Meier plotter, cBioPortal, Metascape, GeneMANIA, and LinkedOmics; and the result was verified using human tissues. RESULTS: The expression of AURKA and AURKB were upregulated in BC in subgroup analyses based on tumor stage (all P   <  0.05). BC patients with high AURKA and AURKB expression had a worse overall survival, relapse-free survival, and distant metastasis-free survival (all P   <  0.05). Verification experiment revealed that AURKA and AURKB were upregulated in BC ( P  < 0.05). AURKA and AURKB were specifically associated with several tumor-associated kinases (polo-like kinase 1 and cyclin-dependent kinase 1), miRNAs (miR-507 and miR-381), and E2F transcription factor 1. Moreover, AURKA and AURKB were correlated with immune cell infiltration. Functional enrichment analysis revealed that AURKA and AURKB were involved in the cell cycle signaling pathway, platinum drug resistance signaling pathway, ErbB signaling pathway, Hippo signaling pathway, and nucleotide-binding and oligomerization domain-like receptor signaling pathway. CONCLUSIONS Aurora kinases AURKA and AURKB could be employed as novel prognostic biomarkers or promising therapeutic targets for BC.

To evaluate the safety of the domestic 13-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide conjugate vaccine-tetanus toxoid protein (PCV13-TT) after its licensure. The adverse event following immunization (AEFI) and the vaccination data of PCV13-TT in Zhejiang province from July 2020 to October 2021 were collected from national adverse event following immunization surveillance system and Zhejiang provincial immunization information system. Descriptive epidemiological method was used for this analysis. From July 2020 to October 2021, 302 317 doses of PCV13-TT were administered in children under 6 years old in Zhejiang Province and 636 AEFI case reports were received, with a reporting rate of 21.04 per 10 000 doses. Of these AEFI cases, 97.17% were mild vaccine product-related reaction (20.54 per 10 000 doses) and 95.44% occurred in the 0-1 d after vaccination (20.08 per 10 000 doses). The most common clinical diagnoses of AEFI included fever (224 cases), redness (204 cases), and induration (190 cases), while allergic rash (11 cases) was the most common diagnosis among the abnormal reactions. In conclusion,the present results bolstered that the domestic PCV13-TT was generally well tolerated in children under 6 years old in Zhejiang Province.

Purpose: Platelet-related indices, including mean platelet volume (MPV) and plateletocrit (PCT), have been reported as new prognostic factors of overall survival (OS) in many cancers, but not yet in biliary tract cancer (BTC). We intended to assess these indices in predicting OS in BTC patients with the aim to build a new prognostic model for patients with BTC after surgical resection. Materials and Methods: Survival analysis and time receiver operating characteristic analysis were applied to screen the platelet indices. Univariate and multivariate Cox analyses were used to identify independent prognostic factors and develop a new prognostic model. Harrell’s C-statistics, calibration curves, and decisive curve analysis were used to assess the model. Results: MPV and platelet distribution width (PDW)/PCT showed the best prognostic accuracy among the platelet indices. In multivariable analysis, factors predictive of poor OS were presence of nodal involvement, Non-radical surgery, poor tumor differentiation, carbohydrate antigen 19-9 > 100 U/mL, MPV > 8.1 fl, and PDW/PCT > 190. The new model was found to be superior to the TNM staging system and our new staging system showed higher discriminative power. Conclusion MPV and PDW/PCT have high prognostic value in BTC patients, and the novel staging system based on these two indices showed good discrimination and accuracy compared with the American Joint Committee on Cancer 7th TNM staging system.
