[摘 要] 目的：探讨复发/转移性鼻咽癌（NPC）接受含PD-1单抗免疫治疗的临床特征和预后影响因素。方法：回顾性分析2019年3月至2024年7月期间南部战区总医院确诊的95例NPC患者的临床资料和外周血生化及免疫学指标。预后分析采用Kaplan-Meier曲线，组间比较使用Log-rank检验，采用Cox比例风险模型进行单因素和多因素分析。结果：95例患者中男性81例，女性14例，中位年龄49.72岁（16~74岁），Ⅳ期91例（95.79%），所有患者均采用免疫治疗，联合或不联合化疗方案治疗，中位无进展生存期（mPFS）为10.5个月，客观缓解率（ORR）70.53%，疾病控制率（DCR）89.47%，接受含铂治疗方案患者PFS相对更长，且差异有统计学意义。紫杉醇 + 顺铂 + 氟尿嘧啶（TPF）对比吉西他滨 + 顺铂（GP）和紫杉醇 + 顺铂（TP）显示出更长的PFS，但差异无统计学意义。不同PD-1单抗治疗组间的PFS未显示出有统计学意义的差异。单因素及多因素Cox回归分析结果显示，肿瘤复发状态、初始血浆EBV感染状态、治疗周期数、基线外周血SII是复发/转移性NPC患者接受PD-1抑制剂治疗疗效预测的独立相关因素（均P < 0.05），并且非复发患者、初始血浆EBV DNA阳性、接受 ≥ 4治疗周期、基线外周血SII < 772.81的患者接受PD-1抑制剂治疗预后相对更好。结论：在接受PD-1抑制剂治疗的复发/转移性NPC患者中，非复发患者、初始血浆EBV DNA阳性、≥ 4治疗周期且外周血SII < 772.81者PFS相对更长，可早期识别免疫治疗效果不佳患者并精准干预。

Based on the pharmacokinetics theory, this study investigated the pharmacokinetic characteristics of albiflorin, paeoniflorin, wogonoside, and wogonin in normal and febrile rats and summarized absorption and elimination rules of Dayuanyin in them to provide reference for further development and clinical application of Dayuanyin. Blood samples were taken from the fundus venous plexus of normal and model rats after intragastric administration of Dayuanyin at different time points. The concentration of each substance in blood was determined by ultra performance liquid chromatography-triple quadrupole mass spectrometry(UPLC-MS/MS) technique at different time points. DAS 2.0, a piece of pharmacokinetics software, was used to calculate the pharmacokinetic parameters of each component. The results show that the 4 components had good linear relationship in their respective ranges, and the results of methodological investigation met the requirements. The pharmacokinetic parameters of C_(max), T_(max), t_(1/2), AUC_(0-t), AUC_(0-∞), and MRT_(0-t) were calculated by the DAS 2.0 non-compartmental model. Compared with those in the normal group, C_(max) and AUC_(0-t) of the 4 components in the model group were significantly increased. There were significant differences in the pharmacokinetic characteristics between the normal and model groups, suggesting that the absorption and elimination of Dayuanyin may be affected by the changes of internal environment of the body in different physiological states.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the effect of nano-hydroxyapatite/collagen composite (nHAC) on bone graft fusion after anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) in patients with cervical spondylosis and low bone mass. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 47 patients with low bone mass who underwent ACDF from 2017 to 2021. They were divided into the nHAC group and the allogeneic bone group according to different bone graft materials. The nHAC group included 26 cases, with 8 males and 18 females;aged 50 to 78 years old with an average of (62.81±7.79) years old;the CT value of C₂-C₇ vertebrae was (264.16±36.33) HU. The allogeneic bone group included 21 cases, with 9 males and 12 females;aged 54 to 75 years old with an average of (65.95±6.58) years old;the CT value of C₂-C₇ vertebrae was (272.39±40.44) HU. The visual analogue scale (VAS), neck disability index (NDI), and Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) spinal cord function score were compared before surgery, 1 week after surgery, and at the last follow-up to evaluate the clinical efficacy. Imaging assessment included C₂-C₇ Cobb angle, surgical segment height, intervertebral fusion, and whether the cage subsidence occurred at 1 week after surgery and the last follow-up. RESULTS: The follow-up duration ranged from 26 to 39 months with an average of (33.27±3.34) months in the nHAC group and 26 to 41 months with an average of (31.86±3.57) months in the allogeneic bone group. At 1 week after surgery and the last follow-up, the VAS, NDI scores, and JOA scores in both groups were significantly improved compared with those before surgery, with statistically significant differences (P<0.05). At 1 week after surgery, the C₂-C₇ Cobb angles in the nHAC group and the allogeneic bone group were (14.26±10.32)° and (14.28±8.20)° respectively, which were significantly different from those before surgery (P<0.05). At the last follow-up, the C₂-C₇ Cobb angles in both groups were smaller than those at 1 week after surgery, with statistically significant differences (P<0.05). At 1 week after surgery, the height of the surgical segment in the nHAC group was (31.65±2.55) mm, and that in the allogeneic bone group was (33.63±3.26) mm, which were significantly different from those before surgery (P<0.05). At the last follow-up, the height of the surgical segment in both groups decreased compared with that at 1 week after surgery, with statistically significant differences (P<0.05). At the last follow-up, 39 surgical segments were fused and 6 cages subsided in the nHAC group;40 surgical segments were fused and 7 cages subsided in the allogeneic bone group;there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups (P>0.05). Compared with the CT value of vertebrae without cage subsidence, the CT value of vertebrae with cage subsidence in both groups was significantly lower, with a statistically significant difference (P<0.05). CONCLUSION The application of nHAC in ACDF for patients with low bone mass can achieve effective fusion of the surgical segment. There is no significant difference in improving clinical efficacy, intervertebral fusion, and cage subsidence compared with the allogeneic bone group. With the extension of follow-up time, the C₂-C₇ Cobb angle decreases, the height of the surgical segment is lost, and the cage subsides in both the nHAC group and the allogeneic bone group, which may be related to low bone mass. Low bone mass may be one of the risk factors for cervical spine sequence changes, surgical segment height loss, and cage subsidence after ACDF.

PURPOSE: To analyze risk factors for severe trauma and establish a nomogram for early risk prediction, to improve the early identification of severe trauma. METHODS: This study was conducted on the patients treated in 81 trauma treatment institutions in Gansu province from 2020 to 2022. Patients were grouped by year, with 5364 patients from 2020 to 2021 as the training set and 1094 newly admitted patients in 2020 as the external validation set. Based on the injury severity score (ISS), patients in the training set were classified into 2 subgroups of the severe trauma group (n = 478, ISS scores ≥25) and the non-severe trauma group (n = 4886, ISS scores <25). Univariate and binary logistic regression analyses were employed to identify independent risk factors for severe trauma. Subsequently, a predictive model was developed using the R software environment. Furthermore, the model was subjected to internal and external validation via the Hosmer-Lemeshow test and receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. RESULTS: In total, 6458 trauma patients were included in this study. Initially, this study identified several independent risk factors for severe trauma, including multiple traumatic injuries (polytrauma), external hemorrhage, elevated shock index, elevated respiratory rate, decreased peripheral oxygen saturation, and decreased Glasgow coma scale score (all p < 0.05). For internal validation, the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.914, with the sensitivity and specificity of 88.4% and 87.6%, respectively; while for external validation, the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.936, with the sensitivity and specificity of 84.6% and 93.7%, respectively. In addition, a good model fitting was observed through the Hosmer-Lemeshow test and calibration curve analysis (p > 0.05). CONCLUSION This study establishes a nomogram for early risk prediction of severe trauma, which is suitable for primary healthcare institutions in underdeveloped western China. It facilitates early triage and quantitative assessment of trauma severity by clinicians prior to clinical interventions.

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), as the predominant histological subtype of lung cancer, accounts for approximately 85% of all lung cancer cases. In recent years, immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), represented by programmed death 1/programmed death ligand 1 (PD-1/PD-L1) inhibitors, have achieved breakthrough advancements in patients with driver gene-negative NSCLC. They have been established as a key component of first-line treatment regimens and have significantly improved clinical outcomes. However, limited clinical evidence has emerged showing the phenomenon of histological transformation from NSCLC to small cell lung cancer (SCLC) in patients experiencing disease progression after ICIs monotherapy or combination therapy. Systematic research data on the clinical characteristics, molecular biological basis, and subsequent treatment strategies for such transformation events are currently lacking. This article reports a case of SCLC transformation occurring in a patient with KRAS-mutated lung adenocarcinoma after 16 months of ICIs combination therapy and provides a systematic review of 22 similar published cases. The study demonstrates that small cell transformation is a critical mechanism of immunotherapy resistance, and transformed patients exhibit poor prognosis. The research emphasizes the importance of dynamic monitoring of neuron-specific enolase (NSE) and standardized repeat biopsies during treatment, providing a basis for clinical practice. This aids in enhancing the recognition and management capabilities for this rare histological transformation, ultimately improving patient outcomes.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the genetic causal relationship of leukocyte telomere length (LTL) with prostatitis, orchitis and epididymitis by two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR). METHODS: Using LTL as the exposure factor and prostatitis, orchitis and epididymitis as outcome factors, we mined the Database of Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS). Then, we analyzed the causal relationship of LTL with prostatitis, orchitis and epididymitis by Mendelian randomization using inverse variance weighting (IVW) as the main method and weighted median and MR-Egger regression as auxiliary methods, determined the horizontal multiplicity by MR-Egger intercept test, and conducted sensitivity analysis using the leaving-one-out method. RESULTS: A total of 121 related single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were identified in this study. IVW showed LTL to be a risk factor for prostatitis (OR = 1.383, 95% CI: 1.044－1.832, P = 0.024), and for orchitis and epididymitis as well (OR = 1.770, 95% CI: 1.275－2.456, P = 0.000 6). CONCLUSION Genetic evidence from Mendelian randomized analysis indicates that shortening of LTL reduces the risk of prostatitis, orchitis and epididymitis.

Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of regional citrate anticoagulation(RCA)in continuous blood purification(CBP)treatment during the shock and infection phases of severe burns.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 64 patients who received RCA-CBP treatment at the Burns Reseaich Institute,the First Affiliated Hospital of Army Medical University from Jan-uary 2015 to January 2024.The patients were divided into the burn shock phase(burn duration<2 days,n=18)and the burn infection phase(burn duration≥2 days,n=46)according to the start time of CBP treat-ment.General datas,total body surface area burned(TBSA),abbreviated burn severity index(ABSI),hemato-crit(HCT)at the start of CBP treatment,platelet count(PLT),activated partial thromboplastin time(APTT),serum creatinine,urea nitrogen,total bilirubin,acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ(APACHEⅡ)score,sequential organ failure assessment(SOFA)score,Child-Pugh score,filter usage time for each CBP treatment,the incidence of unplanned treatment termination,blood gas analysis,and adverse e-vents were compared between the two groups.Results Compared with the burn shock phase,the levels of HCT and PLT in the burn infection phase were lower,the levels of urea nitrogen and the incidences of shock,hyperlactatemia and hypoxemia were higher,the filter usage time was longer,and the incidence of unplanned treatment termination was lower,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).The results of mult-ivariate COX regression analysis showed that the burn shock phase was a protective factor for the filter usage time(P<0.05).Among the 64 patients,citrate accumulation occurred in 2 patients(3.1%),both of which were septic shock combined with hyperlactatemia during the burn infection stage.Patients with acid-base im-balance and electrolyte disorder were corrected after adjusting the treatment.There were 5 new bleeding e-vents,all of which were caused by the primary diseases.Conclusion RCA is safe and effective for CBP treat-ment in severe burned patients and can be used as a routine anticoagulant method.

Integrins are transmembrane receptors that can coordinate signal transduction between cells and extracellular matrix or between cells.The abnormal function of integrins is one of the recognized mechanisms of tumor development.As an important regulatory mode,post-translational modification can change the conformation and physicochemical properties of proteins,thus affecting their activities,stability and functions.After the modification of the integrin,such as glycosylation and methylation,the corresponding signal transduction pathway changes,and then affects cell adhesion,migration,differentiation and other life activities,involving in diverse physiology and pathological processes.Post-translational modifications of integrins are abundant in tumor progression and play a key role in regulating the growth,metastasis and drug resistance of different tumor cells.In this review,the structure and function,post-translational modification of integrins,and their relationship with occurrence and development of tumors will be discussed,in order to provide more explorable targets for the treatment of cancer.

Objective To investigate the efficacies of proximal femoral nail anti-rotation(PFNA)internal fixation in traction bed supine position and non-traction bed lateral position in the treatment of elderly unstable femoral intertrochanteric fractures.Methods The clinical data of patients with unstable femoral intertrochanteric fractures treated with PFNA internal fixation in our hospital were retrospec-tively analyzed,41 patients received treatment in traction bed supine position were included in the supine position group,and 55 patients treated received treatment in non-traction bed lateral position were included in the lateral position group.The perioperative related indicators,surgical reduction,hip Harris score,and incidence of complications in the two groups were analyzed.Results The operation time and incision length of patients in the lateral position group were shorter than those in the supine position group,and the intraoperative blood loss and fluoroscopy times were less than those in the supine position group,with statistically significant differences(P<0.05).There was no significant difference in the anesthesia mode,blood transfusion or hospital stay of patients between the two groups(P>0.05).There was no significant difference in the incidence of postoperative complications of patients between the two groups(P>0.05).There was no significant difference in neck-shaft angle,tip-apex distance or hip Harris score of patients between the two groups(P>0.05).Conclusion PFNA internal fixation in traction bed supine position and non-traction bed lateral position have the same effect in the treatment of elderly unstable femoral intertrochanteric fractures,while the non-traction bed lateral position for treatment has more advantages in shortening operation time,decreasing intraoperative blood loss,and reducing radiation exposure.

As a classic prescription for invigorating spleen and replenishing qi, Sijunzi Decoction has a good clinical efficacy in the treatment of gastric cancer. It can improve chemotherapy resistance, reduce the toxic and side effects of chemotherapy, promote postoperative recovery, enhance immunity, improve the nutritional status of patients, improve the quality of life of patients and prevent precancerous lesions. Network pharmacology studies have shown that Sijunzi Decoction exerts anti-gastric cancer effects through multiple active ingredients, multiple targets and multiple pathways, and quercetin may be the main active component in Sijunzi Decoction to exert anti-gastric cancer effects. The main mechanisms of Sijunzi Decoction in the treatment of gastric cancer include regulating the expression of cell cycle and apoptosis-related gene proteins, and inhibiting the proliferation, migration, invasion and gastric cancer stem cell characteristics of gastric cancer cells.
