Objective To observe the efficacy of hepatic artery infusion chemotherapy(HAIC)combined with lenvatinib for treating Barcelona clinic liver cancer(BCLC)stage B or C hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC),and to explore the impact factors of patients'survival time.Methods Data of 104 patients with BCLC stage B or C HCC were retrospectively analyzed.The patients were divided into observation group(n=46,underwent HAIC combined with lenvatinib)and control group(n=58,underwent HAIC alone).The clinical efficacy and adverse reactions of treatments,as well as patients'overall survival(OS)and progression free survival(PFS)were recorded and compared between groups.Cox regressions were used to explore the impact factors of patients'survival time.Results Three months and 6 months after HAIC,the results of modified response evaluation criteria in solid tumors(mRECIST)in observation group were both better than those in control group(both P＜0.05),while no significant difference was found between groups one year after HAIC(P＞0.05).The overall survival rate in observation group was higher than that in control group(P＜0.05),while there was no significant difference of progression free survival rate between groups(P＞0.05).The incidence of rash in observation group was higher than that in control group(P＜0.05).Multiple Cox regression showed prolonged OS in HCC patients in observation group(hazard ratio[HR]=0.425,95%CI[0.255,0.791])compared with that in control group.Compared with pre-treatment Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group(ECOG)score 1,AFP≥400 μg/ml,the number of tumor foci≥3 and BCLC stage C,pre-treatment ECOG score 0,AFP＜400 μg/ml,the number of tumor foci≤2 and BCLC stage B were all independent protective factors of OS in HCC patients(all P＜0.05).Conclusion HAIC combined with lenvatinib was safe and effective for treating BCLC stage B or C HCC.Pre-treatment ECOG score,serum AFP level,the number of tumor foci and BCLC stage were all independent impact factors of OS.

Objective To analyze the correlation between detection of influenza pathogenic subtypes and epidemic situation in Hefei City during the surveillance years of 2015-2021, and to provide references for developing influenza prevention and control strategies. Methods The relevant data of influenza-like illness (ILI) surveillance, influenza etiology, and outbreak/cluster outbreaks reported from influenza surveillance sentinel hospitals in Hefei City from 2015 to 2021 in the China Influenza Surveillance Information System were analyzed. The statistical analysis was carried out. Results A total of 3 332 553 outpatient and emergency visits in 2 sentinel hospitals were reported in Hefei City from 2015 to 2021, of which 139,082 were ILI cases, accounting for 4.17%. The monthly proportion ranged from 1.60% to 7.15%. A total of 14 663 ILI specimens were submitted for detection, the submission rate was 10.54%, and the positive rate of influenza virus detection was 11.30%. There was no correlation between the proportion of monthly influenza like cases and the detection rate (r_s=0.176, P=0.107). The composition ratio of each subtype of influenza virus varied greatly, showing diversified seasonality, and the epidemic strains changed constantly. The Victoria subtype (BV subtype) was dominant (40.21%). There was a moderate correlation between the positive rate of ILI in sentinel hospitals and the number of outbreaks per month (r_s=0.696, P=0.000). There was a strong correlation between the monthly number of outbreaks and the detection rate (r_ss=0.696, P=0.000). There was a strong correlation between influenza A virus H3 subtype and BV subtype (r_{s -H3}=0.686, P=0.030; r_{s -BV}=0.632, P=0.000). There was a moderate correlation between the new A1 subtype and B Yamagata subtype (r_{s -new A H1}=0.481, P=0.000 0; r_{s -BY}=0.515, P=0.000). Conclusion There are two epidemic peaks in spring and winter in Hefei. Influenza subtypes are diverse. The results of ILI etiology can predict the outbreaks of different subtypes of influenza. Prediction and surveillance should be used for influenza control and outbreak management in a timely manner.

Objective:To explore the effect of moderate intensity physical exercise on depression, anxiety and cognitive function of schizophrenic patients and its possible biochemical mechanism.Methods:Totally 148 patients with schizophrenia who were hospitalized in hospital from March 2019 to March 2021 were randomly divided into control group ( n=75) and exercise group ( n=73). The patients of the two groups were given drug treatment and routine exercise according to clinical practice, and the patients in exercise group were given additional medium-intensity physical exercise.Self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) and self-rating depression scale (SDS) were used to evaluate the poor mental state of the subjects.The verbal fluency task(VFT), digital span test(DST), trail making test-A(TMT-A) and the positive and negative symptom scale (PANSS) were used to evaluate cognitive function.The levels of endocannabinoids (eCBs) receptors were detected by high performance liquid chromatography, and the levels of monoamine neurotransmitters and eCBs in the patients' serum were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). SPSS 19.0 software was used for statistical analysis.The measurement data between the two groups were compared by t-test and the counting data between the two groups were compared by χ2 test. Results:(1) After effective intervention, the scores of SAS, SDS, TMT-A and PANSS of the two groups were significantly lower than those before intervention, and the difference before and after intervention between the two groups was statistically significant( t=6.00, 6.52, 25.79, 17.03, all P<0.01). The scores of SAS, SDS, TMT-A and PANSS after intervention in the exercise group were significantly lower than those in the control group( t=4.66, 20.88, 6.61, 8.95; all P<0.01). The number of VFT and DST in the two groups after intervention were significantly higher than those before intervention, and the differences before and after intervention between the two groups were statistically significant( t=13.78, 22.76, both P<0.01). After effective intervention, the number of VFT and DST in exercise group were significantly higher than those in the control group( t=5.02, 5.15, both P<0.01). (2) After effective intervention, the contents of monoamine neurotransmitters and eCBs in serum of the two groups were significantly higher than those before intervention, and HVA level ((63.68±6.99) pg/mL), MHPG level ((175.90±16.22) pg/mL), 5-HIAA level ((29.94±4.19) pg/mL) and CBR1 level ((6.70±1.40)μg/L), 2-AG level ((61.90±5.73)pmol/g) and AEA level ((76.48±6.59) pmol/g) in exercise group were significantly higher than those in the control group ((52.97±5.37)pg/mL, (138.50±11.52)pg/mL, (23.87±3.15)pg/mL, (5.71±1.29)μg/L, (52.13±5.14)pmol/g, (67.66±5.88)pmol/g)( t=10.43, 16.21, 10.91, 8.65, all P<0.01). Conclusion:Moderate intensity physical exercise can significantly improve their depression, anxiety and cognitive function, which may be related to regulating the levels of ECBS and their receptors in patients with chronic schizophrenia to increase monoamine neurotransmitters.

Objective To investigate the clinical curative effect and significance of partial splenic artery embolization (PSE) for the treatment of patients with hypersplenism at high altitude region. Methods The clinical data of 66 patients with cirrhosis complicated by portal hypertension and hypersplenism, who lived in Xining City of Qinghai Province, the high altitude region in China, and were admitted to authors' hospital during the period from March 2015 to December 2016 to receive PSE, were retrospectively analyzed. White blood cell (WBC) count, red blood cell (RBC) count and platelet (PLT) count were calculated at one day before operation as well as at one, 7, 30 and 90 days after operation. Results The technical success rate of PSE was 100％. The mean WBC count determined at one, 7, 30 and 90 days after PSE was obviously different from that determined at one day before PSE, the differences were statistically significant (P＜0. 05). Conclusion For the treatment of patients with cirrhosis complicated by portal hypertension and hypersplenism, who live at high altitude region, PSE has reliable curative effect, therefore, this therapy is worth promoting in clinical practice.
