Bispecific antibodies （BsAbs）， as an important recent innovation in the field of tumor immunotherapy in recent years， can simultaneously or sequentially target different antigens or two different epitopes of the same antigen. Compared with traditional monoclonal antibodies， they can produce superior therapeutic effects. This article reviews the progress in clinical applications and safety research of BsAbs in cancer therapy， revealing that they （such as blinatumomab， glofitamab， teclistamab， amivantamab， etc.） exhibit significant therapeutic efficacy against hematological malignancies， lung cancer， cervical cancer， melanoma， and other cancers. For cytokine release syndrome （CRS） induced by BsAbs， prophylactic or pre-emptive medication is commonly administered in clinical practice； for neurotoxicity and infections triggered by BsAbs， clinical practice necessitates rigorous monitoring of patients’ vital signs and the provision of essential treatments. In addition， different BsAbs exhibit variations in escalation dose， infusion rate， storage duration， and equipment requirements. Therefore， strict adherence to the instructions in the drug package inserts is essential during clinical operations to ensure safety and therapeutic efficacy. In the future， more multicenter trials need to be conducted to validate the efficacy and safety of BsAbs across different tumor types and patient populations， and long-term follow-up data should be accumulated to optimize treatment cycles and dosage regimens.

β thalassemia is a hereditary hemolytic disease caused by the defect of β globin gene. Transfusion-dependent β thalassemia patients need long-term blood transfusion to survive, and a series of systemic and ocular complications will occur in the disease itself and long-term blood transfusion. Retinal blood vessel density decreases, retinal thickness thinned and elastic pseudoxanthoxanoma syndrome are found in fundus due to long-term anemia and side effects of iron chelating agent. At present, there are few reports about eye changes in thalassemia patients, and the cognition is relatively scarce. Therefore, it is necessary to be vigilant for physicians, deeply explore the cause and symptomatic treatment, combined with individual disease characteristics, to provide a more scientific and accurate plan for clinical treatment.

Beta-thalassemia major(β-TM)is an inherited disease caused by a defect in the synthesis of globin. The disease requires long-term blood transfusion and iron chelator treatment, which can cause various secondary changes in the body and eye tissues. Compared with normal peers, β-TM patients will show changes in the eye such as steeper corneal curvature, shallower anterior chamber, increased lens thickness, shorter axial length, and reduced tear secretion. At the same time, nutritional deficiencies and the use of iron chelator drugs will increase the risk of complicated cataract and retinal degeneration, thus affecting the quality of life of β-TM patients.This article combines relevant domestic and foreign literatures to explore and review the changes in the eye of β-TM patients, with a view to providing valuable insights for clinical practice.

Objective:To analyze the risk factors for asparaginase-associated pancreatitis (AAP) in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) after treatment with pegaspargase and evaluate the predictive value of pediatric sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score, pediatric acute pancreatitis severity (PAPS) score, Ranson′s score and pediatric Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare of Japan (JPN) score for severe AAP.Methods:Cross-sectional study.The clinical data of 328 children with ALL who received pegaspargase treatment in the Department of Pediatric Hematology, Zhujiang Hospital, Southern Medical University from January 2014 to August 2021, as well as their clinical manifestations, laboratory examinations, and imaging examinations were collected.The SOFA score at the time of AAP diagnosis, PAPS score and Ranson′s score at 48 hours after AAP diagnosis, and JPN score at 72 hours after AAP diagnosis were calculated, and their predictive value for severe AAP was evaluated by the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.Results:A total of 6.7%(22/328) of children had AAP, with the median age of 6.62 years.AAP most commonly occurred in the induced remission phase (16/22, 72.7%). Three AAP children were re-exposed to asparaginase, and 2 of them developed a second AAP.Among the 22 AAP children, 16 presented with mild symptoms, and 6 with severe symptoms.The 6 children with severe AAP were all transferred to the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU). There were no significant differences in gender, white blood cell count at first diagnosis, immunophenotype, risk stratification, and single dose of pegaspargase between the AAP and non-AAP groups.The age at diagnosis of ALL in the AAP group was significantly higher than that in the non-AAP group ( t=2.385, P=0.018). The number of overweight or obese children in the AAP group was also higher than that in the non-AAP group ( χ2=4.507, P=0.034). The areas under the ROC curve of children′s JPN score, SOFA score, Ranson′s score, and PAPS score in predicting severe AAP were 0.919, 0.844, 0.731, and 0.606, respectively.The JPN score ( t=4.174, P=0.001) and the SOFA score ( t=3.181, P=0.005) showed statistically significant differences between mild and severe AAP. Conclusions:AAP is a serious complication in the treatment of ALL with combined pegaspargase and chemotherapy.Older age and overweight or obesity may be the risk factors for AAP.Pediatric JPN and SOFA scores have predictive value for severe AAP.

Objective:To investigate the differences of clinical data and pathological changes in patients with primary IgA nephropathy (IgAN) with different blood types.Methods:The clinical and pathological data of patients with primary IgAN diagnosed by renal biopsy in the People's Hospital of Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region from May 2016 to May 2021 were collected. They were divided into groups A, O, B and AB according to blood group. The clinical manifestations and pathological changes of the four groups during renal biopsy were analyzed.Results:A total of 258 patients with primary IgAN were included, including 87 cases of type A, 74 cases of type O, 72 cases of type B and 25 cases of type AB. The male to female ratio was 1.34∶1, and the median age was 36 (29, 47) years old. There was no significant difference in age, sex, blood pressure, hemoglobin and renal function among the four groups (all P>0.05). Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) in patients with type A and B was higher than other groups (all P<0.05). There were no significant differences in mesangial cell hyperplasia (M), capillary cell hyperplasia (E), glomerular segmental sclerosis (S), renal tubule atrophy/interstitial fibrosis (T), crescent body (C) lesions and proportion of sclerosed glomeruli among the four groups (all P>0.05). Subgroup analysis by gender showed that the hemoglobin, uric acid and creatinine of male patients were higher than those of female patients (all P<0.05), but the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and urinary protein had no statistical significance (all P>0.05). Women with blood type A and O were heavier than men under microscope. The pathological manifestations of M, E, S and C lesions in women with type A blood were heavier than those in men, and S and T lesions in men with type B blood were heavier than those in women. There was no significant difference in the general baseline data, inflammation and kidney indexes between the four groups of men and women (all P>0.05). Pathologically, the M lesions of men with B blood group were more severe than those of other blood groups, while the S and T lesions of women with B blood group were less severe than those of other blood groups. Conclusions:The clinical and pathological manifestations of IgAN women with type A are heavier, the pathological manifestations of IgAN women with type B are lighter, but the pathological lesions of IgAN men with type B are heavier.

OBJECTIVE To explore the influence of surgical history on chemotherapy -induced nausea and vomiting （CINV）. METHODS A retrospective case -control study was adopted ，with 824 patients undergoing chemotherapy as the object . A total of 27 items were collected ，including demographic data ，medical history data ，pre-chemotherapy data ，and chemotherapy treatment status. Logistic regression model was used to analyze the relationship between the history of surgery and the risk of CINV . The multiple models were constructed to correct potential confounding factors ，and subgroup analysis was performed on patients with surgical history . RESULTS The incidence of CINV was higher in patients with surgical history . The statistical result before adjustment was [OR＝1.72，95%CI（1.31，2.28），P＜0.001]；after adjusting potential confounding factors ，the statistical result was [OR＝1.78，95% CI（1.28，2.48），P＝0.001]. In the subgroup analysis ，the time between surgery and chemotherapy was different ， and the impact of surgical history on CINV was different ，and the results were statistically significant （P＝0.027）. The risk of CINV showed decreasing trend with the time ，and the results were statistically significant （P for trend ≤0.050）. Compared with patients who had not undergone surgery ，patients who had undergone surgery within one year had a higher risk of CINV [OR＝ 2.33，95%CI（1.52，3.59），P＜0.001]. CONCLUSIONS Patients with surgical history are more prone to CINV ，and the risk of CINV shows a downward trend in the length of time from surgery .

Objective:To investigate the risk factors and prognoses of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) caused by pegasparaginase (PEG-Asp).Methods:A total of 252 children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) were treated with PEG-Asp chemotherapy in our hospital from December 2016 to July 2021, including 8 children with CVST. The clinical manifestations, laboratory and imaging features, treatments and prognoses of these children with CVST caused by PEG-Asp were analyzed retrospectively.Results:(1) CVST occurred during induction chemotherapy in 4 children, during re-induction chemotherapy in 3 children, and during consolidation stage in one child. CVST occurred in two children who received PEG-ASP chemotherapy once, in one child who received PEG-Asp chemotherapy twice, and 5 children who received PEG-Asp chemotherapy more than twice. The median time between CVST occurrence and last treatment of PEG-Asp was 20.5 d. (2) The clinical manifestations included paroxysmal headache ( n=4), nausea or vomiting ( n=3), convulsions ( n=2) and persistent blurred vision ( n=1). (3) CVST appeared at the sigmoid sinus ( n=6), transverse sinus ( n=4) and superior sagittal sinus ( n=4), of which one child was complicated with hemorrhage in left frontal parietal and right parietal cortex, and one with reversible posterior encephalopathy syndrome; 8 children were not complicated with thrombus in other parts. (4) Some of the children were complicated with abnormal blood coagulation. When CVST occurred, fibrinogen level decreased in 3 children, anti-thrombin III level decreased in 2 children, and D-dimer level increased in 3 children. (5) Six children were treated with low molecular weight heparin (LMWH), of which, 4 were treated with rivasaban and one with warfarin sequentially. The total course of anticoagulation was 56 d. (6) The symptoms of 6 children disappeared after anticoagulation; Magnetic resonance venography (MRV) showed disappeared thrombus in 4 children and reduced thrombus range in 2 children. One child with intracranial hemorrhage did not use PEG-Asp anymore; 7 accepted PEG-Asp further during follow-up chemotherapy, of which one had CVST recurrence and the range of thrombus was reduced after anticoagulant therapy. Conclusions:When children with ALL develop unexplained neurological symptoms during PEG-Asp chemotherapy, CVST should be highly vigilant. Enhanced MRI and MRV should be performed for early diagnosis. Some children are complicated with abnormal blood coagulation, and LMWH, warfarin and rivasaban are effective. The prognosis is good and there are no sequelae. Most children accepted PEG-Asp again will not have CVST again.

Objective:To explore the effect of empowerment health education on the biochemical indicators and self-efficacy of elderly diabetic patients, so as to provide a theoretical basis for choosing a health education model suitable for elderly diabetic patients.Methods:From January to July of 2020, convenience sampling was used to select 130 elderly diabetic patients who were treated in the Geriatric Outpatient Clinic of Beijing Friendship Hospital affiliated to Capital Medical University as the research object. All patients were divided into the intervention group and the control group according to the visit time, 65 cases in each group. The control group conducted regular health education, and the intervention group implemented empowerment health education. The blood glucose, blood lipid indexes and self-efficacy scores of the two groups of patients before and three months after the intervention were compared.Results:After intervention, the levels of glycosylated hemoglobin and triacylglycerol in the intervention group were lower than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . There was no significant difference in fasting blood glucose, two hours postprandial blood glucose, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels between the two groups after intervention ( P>0.05) . The total scores of self-efficacy and the scores of strategic efficacy, and executive efficacy of the intervention group after the intervention were higher than those of the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Empowerment health education is more effective than conventional health education in improving the self-efficacy of elderly diabetic patients, especially in terms of strategic efficiency and executive efficiency, and has a certain effect of improving some clinical biochemical indicators of elderly diabetic patients.
