Objective To investigate the protective effect of sodium (s)-2-(dithiocarboxylato((2R,3R,4R,5R,6R)-2,3,4,5,6-pentahydroxyhexyl) amino)-4-(methylthio) butanoate (GMDTC) against cisplatin-induced toxicity during antitumor treatment. Methods Specific pathogen-free female SD rats were inoculated with LLC-WRC-256 tumor cells to establish tumor-bearing models, which were randomly divided into the model control group, cisplatin control group, and low-, medium-, and high-dose GMDTC groups, with 10 rats in each group. Another negative control group with 10 rats was included. Rats in the cisplatin control group and the three GMDTC dose groups were injected intravenously with cisplatin at a dose of 5 mg/kg body mass for one time. After 2.0 hours, rats in the three GMDTC dose groups were injected intravenously with GMDTC at doses of 27, 54, and 108 mg/kg body mass, once per day for five consecutive days. Tumor volume, platinum levels in biological samples (whole blood, urine, kidney, and tumor tissue), serum creatinine (Cr) and urea nitrogen (BUN) levels were measured at different time points. The tumor mass was measured, the pathological changes of renal tissue were observed, and the complete blood count was tested. Results The dilation of renal tubules, cell necrosis and shedding, and the formation of renal tubule patterns in the kidneys of rats in the medium- and high-dose GMDTC groups were significantly reduced compared with those in the cisplatin control group. The tumor volume of rats in the cisplatin control group and the three GMDTC dose groups decreased on the 3rd, 5th and 7th days after cisplatin administration, and the tumor weight decreased on the 7th days compared with the model control group (all P<0.05). However, there was no significant difference in the above indexes among the four groups (all P>0.05). The levels of serum Cr and BUN of rats in the cisplatin control group on the 3rd, 5th, and 6th days after cisplatin administration, as well as the score of renal tubular injury degree on the 7th day, were higher than those in the negative control group and the model control group (all P<0.05). The serum Cr levels of rates on the 3rd and 5th days after cisplatin administration, the serum BUN levels on the 5th day in the medium- and high-dose GMDTC groups, the score of renal tubular injury degree, and renal platinum level on the 7th day decreased compared with the cisplatin control group (all P<0.05), while the serum Cr and BUN levels on the 6th day and the whole-blood platinum levels in the high-dose GMDTC group decreased (all P<0.05). The urinary platinum levels of rats in the three GMDTC dose groups increased on the 1st day after GMDTC administration (all P<0.05), but decreased on the 3rd day compared with the cisplatin control group (all P<0.05). The counts of white blood cells, neutrophils, lymphocytes and platelets of rats in the cisplatin control group were lower than those in the model control group (all P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the above indexes of rats between the three GMDTC dose groups and the cisplatin control group (all P>0.05). Conclusion Intravenous administration of GMDTC at doses of 54 or 108 mg/kg body mass effectively reduce the nephrotoxicity of cisplatin-treated rats with LLC-WRC-256 tumors without affecting the antitumor effect of cisplatin.

Objective:To summarize the clinical characteristics, diagnosis and treatment experience of salivary pleomorphic adenoma in children. Methods:Thirty patients with salivary pleomorphic adenomas treated in Beijing Childrens Hospital from January 2008 to December 2022 were retrospectively reviewed, including 11 boys and 19 girls, with the age ranging from 0.3 to 14.4 years（median age 10.4 years）. Initial presentation, medical history, imaging workups, surgical approaches, complications, rates of recurrence were evaluated. Results:Major salivary gland lesions were most common（n=24, 80%）; 53.3%（16 of 30） arising in the submandibular glands and 26.7%（8 of 30） in the parotid. Minor salivary gland lesions（n=6, 20%） were removed from the palate, tongue, face, trachea, nasopharynx, and upper mediastinumand. Preoperative imaging was reviewed in all patients and consisted of 26 ultrasound exams, 2 computerized tomography（CT） exams, and 15 magnetic resonance imaging（MRI） exams. Fine needle aspiration biopsy was performed in 12 patients. Surgical excision was performed in all patients. Postoperative complications included transient facial paresis（n=3）, Pneumonia and pleural effusion（n=1）. Average length of follow-up was 36.7 months; confirmed recurrence occurred in one patients. Conclusion:The symptoms of salivary gland pleomorphic adenoma in children are different according to the location of the tumor. The treatment is complete surgical resection, and a small amount of normal tissue around the tumor should be removed to reduce recurrence.

Objective To construct a machine learning prediction model for postoperative liver injury in patients with non-liver surgery based on preoperative and intraoperative medication indicators.Methods A case-control study was conducted on 315 patients with liver injury after non-liver surgery selected from the databases developed by 3 large general hospitals from January 2014 to September 2022.With the positive/negative ratio of 1 ∶3,928 cases in corresponding period with non-liver surgery and without liver injury were randomly matched as negative control cases.These 1243 patients were randomly divided into the modeling group(n=869)and the validation group(n=374)in a ratio of 7∶3 using the R language setting code.Preoperative clinical indicators(basic information,medical history,relevant scale score,surgical information and results of laboratory tests)and intraoperative medication were used to construct the prediction model for liver injury after non-liver surgery based on 4 machine learning algorithms,k-nearest neighbor(KNN),support vector machine linear(SVM),logic regression(LR)and extreme gradient boosting(XGBoost).In the validation group,receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve,precision-recall curve(P-R),decision curve analysis(DCA)curve,Kappa value,sensitivity,specificity,Brier score,and F1 score were applied to evaluate the efficacy of model.Results The model established by 4 machine learning algorithms to predict postoperative liver injury after non-liver surgery was optimal using the XGBoost algorithm.The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve(AUROC)was 0.916(95%CI:0.883～0.949),area under the precision-recall curve(AUPRC)was 0.841,Brier score was 0.097,and sensitivity and specificity was 78.95%and 87.10%,respectively.Conclusion The postoperative liver injury prediction model for non-liver surgery based on the XGBoost algorithm has effective prediction for the occurrence of postoperative liver injury.

Objective:To analyze the treatment outcomes and prognoses of children with head and neck non-parameningeal rhabdomyosarcoma (HNnPM RMS).Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of children with HNnPM RMS admitted to Beijing Children′s Hospital from September 2012 to September 2022. The clinical features, comprehensive treatment modes and prognoses of the patients were analyzed. The overall survival rate (OS) and event free survival rate (EFS) were calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method, and univariate analysis was performed using the Log-rank test.Results:A total of 70 children were included in this study, 38 males and 32 females, with a median age of 47 months (2-210 months). Pathological subtypes including the embryonal in 27 cases, the alveolar in 36 cases and the spindle cell and sclerosing in 7 cases. Thirty children (83.3%) with alveolar type were positive for FOXO1 gene fusion. All 70 children underwent chemotherapy, including 38 with neoadjuvant chemotherapy and 32 with adjuvant chemotherapy. Sixty of 70 children underwent surgery, of whom, 10 underwent two or more surgeries. There were 63 children underwent radiotherapy, including 54 with intensity-modulated radiation therapy, 4 with particle implantation and 5 with proton therapy. The median follow-up was 45 (5-113) months, the 5-year OS was 73.2%, and the 5-year EFS was 57.7%. Univariate analysis showed lymph node metastasis ( χ2=5.022, P=0.025), distant metastasis ( χ2=8.258, P=0.004), and high Intergroup Rhabdomyosarcoma Study (IRS) group ( χ2=9.859, P=0.029) as risk factors for poor prognosis. Before June 2016, the 5-year OS based on BCH-RMS-2006 scheme was 63.6%, and after 2016, the 5-year OS based on CCCG-RMS-2016 scheme was 79.6%. Conclusion:Multidisciplinary combined standardized treatment can offer good treatment outcome and prognosis for children with HNnPM RMS. Local control is a key to the efficacy of comprehensive treatment.
