Objective To investigate the microbial disinfection and sterilization effectiveness of an electron linear accelerator on the surface and interior of postal packages, and to design and conduct a penetrating radiation disinfection and sterilization experiment. Methods This experiment selected Bacillus pumilus E601 (ATCC 27142) as the indicator microbial strain for radiation. An experimental model of postal package was subjected to penetrating radiation with different dose gradients using high-energy electron beams generated by an S-band 10 MeV electron linear accelerator. The disinfection and sterilization effectiveness was assessed by culturing and counting B. pumilus after high-energy electron beam radiation treatment. A control group was established to analyze the influence of actual absorbed doses at different gradients on the disinfection and sterilization effectiveness of the electron linear accelerator. Results The actual absorbed doses of high-energy electron-beam radiation required to achieve 1-, 3-, and 6-log reductions of B. pumilus were 1.63, 5.07, and 10.22 kGy, respectively. Complete inactivation was achieved at an absorbed dose of 10.92 kGy, which met the processing requirements specified in the technical standard for ionizing-radiation disinfection. Conclusion The experimental data indicated that the actual absorbed dose for B. pumilus is linearly positively correlated with the log reduction of bacterial colonies killed by electron beam radiation. For disinfection and sterilization requirements in different scenarios, the required actual absorbed dose can be achieved by dynamically adjusting the operating speed of the under-beam transmission system.

Objective:To explore the spatiotemporal evolution and convergence trend of the level of health resource supply in the Yangtze River Delta Region,and to provide quantitative support for the formulation of health resource supply policies.Methods:Using Dagum Gini coefficient,kernel density estimation,Markov chain,and spatial β convergence model to analyze the regional differences,dynamic evolution,and convergence of health resource supply levels in the Yangtze River Delta.Results:From 2010 to 2022,the level of health resource supply in the Yangtze River Delta maintained an increasing trend,with overall differences,intra regional and inter regional differences all showing a narrowing trend.Inter regional differences contributed the most,and Anhui Province's development was relatively balanced.There is a weak polarization phenomenon in the Yangtze River Delta as a whole,and the balance in Zhejiang has improved in the later stage.The spatial factors significantly affect the dynamic evolution process of the supply level of health resources in the Yangtze River Delta,with obvious positive spillover effects,and the supply level has β convergence characteristics.Conclusion:It is needed to promote the comprehensive development of regional economy,accelerate the improvement of the supply level of health resources in underdeveloped areas,and narrow the gap.At the same time,it needs to enhance spatial interaction between regions and pay attention to the positive spillover effects in areas with higher supply levels.

Objective:To explore the value of serum soluble E-cadherin (sEC) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) levels in predicting postoperative recurrence and metastasis of breast cancer.Methods:198 female breast cancer patients who underwent surgical treatment in Huai’an Hospital Affiliated to Xuzhou Medical University (Huai’an Second People’s Hospital) From Mar. 2023 to Mar. 2025 were selected and followed up for 3 years. The recurrence and metastasis were counted. Patients with recurrence and metastasis were included in the poor prognosis group, and patients without recurrence and metastasis were included in the good prognosis group. The general data, preoperative serum sEC and COX-2 levels were compared between the two groups. The influencing factors of recurrence and metastasis of breast cancer after operation were analyzed. The dose-response relationship and predictive value of serum sEC and COX-2 levels with recurrence and metastasis were analyzed. Logistic regression equation (LR) model 1 was constructed according to conventional influencing factors, and LR model 2 was constructed according to conventional influencing factors combined with serum sEC and COX-2. The predictive efficacy and accuracy of the two models were analyzed by receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) and calibration curve. According to the ratio of 7∶3, another 85 female breast cancer patients who underwent surgical treatment in Huai’an Hospital Affiliated to Xuzhou Medical University (Huai’an Second People’s Hospital) from May. 2023 to May. 2025 were selected for external validation (validation set) .Results:Among 198 breast cancer patients who underwent postoperative follow-up for 3 years, 3 cases were lost to follow-up, and the recurrence and metastasis rate among the 195 patients who completed the 3-year postoperative follow-up was 26.15% (51/195). In the good prognosis group, the proportion of TNM stage III was 20.14%, the proportion of lymph node metastasis was 11.81%, the preoperative serum carbohydrate antigen 153 (CA153) level was (54.19±10.84) U/mL, the carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125) level was (46.03±10.27) U/mL, the sEC level was (1987.65±191.37) ng/mL, and the COX-2 level was (17.85±5.21) ng/mL. In the poor prognosis group, the proportion of TNM stage III was 45.10%, the proportion of lymph node metastasis was 35.29%, the preoperative serum CA153 level was (65.87±12.23) U/mL, the CA125 level was (57.76±11.51) U/mL, the sEC level was (2 295.37±261.48) ng/mL, and the COX-2 level was (10.42±3.16) ng/mL. Compared with the good prognosis group, they were increased ( t/χ 2=12.00, 14.11, 6.39, 6.79, 8.92, 12.00, P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that TNM stage III ( OR=2.078, 95%CI =1.569-2.751, P<0.05), lymph node metastasis ( OR=2.435, 95 %CI=1.843-3.216, P<0.05), serum CA153 ( OR= 1.180,95 %CI=1.026-1.357, P<0.05), CA125 ( OR=1.206,95 %CI=1.033-1.408, P<0.05), sEC ( OR=1.011,95 %CI= 1.007-1.015, P<0.05), COX-2 ( OR=1.378,95 %CI=1.128-1.683, P<0.05) were independent risk factors for postoperative recurrence and metastasis of breast cancer. Restricted cubic spline (RCS) analysis showed that serum sEC and COX-2 levels were positively correlated with the risk of recurrence and metastasis of breast cancer ( P<0.05). ROC analysis showed that serum sEC (AUC=0.762,95 %CI=0.696-0.820, P<0.05) and COX-2 (AUC=0.757,95 %CI=0.691-0.815, P<0.05) could be used as biological indicators to predict postoperative recurrence and metastasis of breast cancer. The AUC of LR model 1 in predicting postoperative recurrence and metastasis of breast cancer was 0.862 (95 %CI=0.805-0.907, P<0.05).

The calibration curve analysis showed that the calibration degree of LR model 1 in predicting postoperative recurrence and metastasis of breast cancer was good, and the prediction results were in good agreement with the actual observation results. The calibration degree of LR model 2 was high, and the prediction results were in good agreement with the actual observation results. The results of external validation showed that the sensitivity of LR model 2 in predicting postoperative recurrence and metastasis of breast cancer was 82.61%, the specificity was 93.55%, the accuracy was 90.59%, and the Kappa value was 0.762 (95 %CI: 0.549-0.974) . Conclusions:Preoperative serum sEC and COX-2 levels are independent risk factors for postoperative recurrence and metastasis of breast cancer. They can be used as biological indicators to predict postoperative recurrence and metastasis of breast cancer. Combined with conventional indicators, they can significantly improve the predictive efficacy.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of high-dose injectable dexlansoprazole in the treatment of acute upper gastrointestinal ulcer hemorrhage.Methods:This study was a randomized, double-blind, positive drug parallel controlled, multicenter clinical trial led by the First Affiliated Hospital of Naval Medical University (Shanghai Changhai Hospital), with participation from 43 hospitals such as Yichun People′s Hospital, Army Medical Center of PLA (Chongqing Daping Hospital), etc. From August 31, 2019 to May 25, 2020, 346 patients with upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage caused by acute gastric and (or) duodenal ulcer were selected. The subjects were randomly divided into experimental group and control group according to a 2 to 1 stratification scheme using the SAS 9.4 software. The medication regimen for the experimental group was intravenous injection of dexlansoprazole 30 mg/times, once every 12 h, while the medication regimen for the control group was intravenous injection of lansoprazole and dexlansoprazole mimetics, 30 mg/times, once every 12 h; the treatment course was 5 days. The primary efficacy indicator (72 h effective hemostasis rate), the secondary efficacy indicator(clinical hemostasis rate at 24, 48, and 120 h, and the proportion of subjects who underwent endoscopic treatment or surgical procedures again due to hemorrhage within 5 days), and the incidence of adverse reactions were compared between the 2 groups. Binomial distribution normal approximation method was performed to calculate the 95% confidence interval (95% CI) of the difference in hemostasis rate between the experimental group and the control group. Fisher′s exact test was used for statistical analysis. Results:A total of 329 patients (219 cases in the experimental group and 110 cases in the control group) were enrolled. The 72 h effective hemostasis rate (95% CI) of the experimental and control group was 95.9%(210/219, 92.3% to 98.1%) and 93.6%(103/110, 87.3% to 97.4%), respectively, and the difference was not statistically significant ( P>0.05). The difference in the 72-hour effective hemostasis rate(95% CI) between the experimental and the control group was 2.3% (-3.0% to 7.5%). The clinical hemostasis rates at 24, 48, and 120 h of the treatment were 82.2% (176/214), 99.1%(210/212), and 100.0%(210/210) in the experimental group, and 85.2%(92/108), 98.1%(104/106), and 100.0%(105/105) in the control group, respectively, and the differences were not statistically significant (all P>0.05). The proportion of subjects who underwent endoscopic treatment and surgical procedure again within 5 days (95% CI)of the experimental group and control group was 0 (0 to 1.7%) and 1.9% (0.2% to 6.5%), respectively, and the difference was not statistically significant ( P>0.05). The result of safety evaluation showed that the overall incidence of adverse reactions of the experimental group and the control group was 6.4% (14/219) and 11.8% (13/110), respectively, and the difference was not statistically significant ( P>0.05).

Objective:To investigate the clinicopathological and molecular genetic features of POLE mutant endometrioid carcinoma.Methods:Genetic test data of 230 cases of endometrial carcinoma that underwent surgical resection and molecular typing by next generation sequencing in the First Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital from January 2021 to June 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. Seventeen cases of endometrioid carcinoma with POLE mutation were selected. Clinical and prognostic information was collected. The paraffin-embedded tissue and immunohistochemical sections were reviewed, and the gene detection data were analyzed.Results:In the 17 cases of endometrioid carcinoma with POLE mutations, 16 cases (16/230, 6.9%) had mutations at known pathogenic sites, and 1 case had a mutation site (S459Y) that had not been reported, which was inferred to be pathogenic based on clinical prognosis. The 17 patients aged from 48 to 79 years (median 56 years, mean 58 years). All cases had typical histological features of endometrioid carcinoma, including 7 cases (7/17) of poorly-differentiated, 4 cases (4/17) of moderately-differentiated and 6 cases (6/17) of well-differentiated. Squamous differentiation was noted, mucous differentiation was less commonly found and often accompanied by superficial muscle infiltration. The number of stromal lymphocyte infiltration was variable. Lymph-vascular embolus was found in 6 cases, and lymph node metastasis was only detected in 1 case. According to the FIGO staging system for endometrial cancer in 2023, all the cases were in FIGO stage ⅠA m-POLEmut except for one case in FIGO stage ⅢC1. There were 8 cases with genetic co-mutation, 5 cases with TP53 mutation (immunohistochemically subclonal expression pattern), 1 case with MSI-H, and 2 cases with both TP53 mutation and MSI-H. Five of 7 patients with POLE mutation (poorly-differentiated) received postoperative chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy, 4 patients received endocrine therapy, and 8 patients had no treatment after surgery. One of the stage ⅠA m-POLEmut tumor patients was found to have pelvic recurrence one year after surgery, and the other 16 patients were followed up for 10-38 months without recurrence or metastasis. Conclusions:POLE mutant endometrioid carcinoma may have different differentiation, and most patients have good prognosis. Correct interpretation of molecular results, accurate identification and classification are important for predicting prognosis and avoiding overtreatment. However, a small number of cases may have recurrence and metastasis, and therefore it is necessary to make a reasonable treatment plan based on the comprehensive judgment of other high risk factors.
