Objective:To explore the recurrence pattern and prognosis of cervical cancer after radical chemoradiotherapy.Methods:Clinical and follow-up data of 1 359 patients with stage Ⅰ-ⅣA (International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics 2009 staging) who received radical radiotherapy in Zhejiang Cancer Hospital from August 2011 to December 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. The survival and prognostic factors of 249 patients with recurrence / metastasis with detailed data were analyzed. The primary endpoint was post-recurrence / metastasis survival time. Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate the survival rate, log-rank test was used for single factor analysis, and Cox model was used for multi-factor analysis.Results:The distant metastasis rate of 249 patients was 77.5%, and the local recurrence rate was 36.9%. According to the location of metastasis and recurrence, 56 cases with recurrence in the field of radiotherapy alone were assigned into group A, 157 cases with recurrence outside the radiation field alone were allocated into group B (56 cases with lymph node recurrence in group B1, 78 cases with blood metastasis in group B2, and 23 cases with lymph node and blood metastasis simultaneously in group B3), and 36 cases with combined recurrence and metastasis in and out of the field of radiotherapy were assigned into group C. The median survival time of patients in groups A, B1, B2, B3 and C was 13, 24, 13, 11 and 9 months, respectively (all P<0.001). According to the interval from initial diagnosis to recurrence / metastasis, 110 cases were classified in ≤1 year group, 74 cases in >1-2 years group, and 65 cases in >2 years group. The median survival time of patients in the three groups was 11, 14, and 22 months, respectively (all P<0.001). According to the management of recurrence / metastasis, 138 cases received palliative treatment, 15 cases received local treatment, 45 cases received systemic treatment, and 51 cases received combined treatment. The median survival time of patients among four groups was 9, 37, 20 and 32 months, respectively (all P<0.001). The results of multi-factor analysis showed that age, recurrence / metastatic site, retreatment methods, time interval between initial treatment and recurrence /metastasis were the independent prognostic factors affecting the survival (all P<0.05). Conclusions:Distant metastasis is the main failure pattern after radical radiotherapy. Patients with metastasis out of irradiated regions, especially those with only lymph node metastasis, have good prognosis. Active retreatment and time interval between initial diagnosis and recurrence / metastasis are important prognostic factors.

The global COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic has infected over 109 million people, leading to over 2 million deaths up to date and still lacking of effective drugs for patient treatment. Here, we screened about 1.8 million small molecules against the main protease (Mpro) and papain like protease (PLpro), two major proteases in severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus 2 genome, and identified 1851Mpro inhibitors and 205 PLpro inhibitors with low nmol/l activity of the best hits. Among these inhibitors, eight small molecules showed dual inhibition effects on both Mpro and PLpro, exhibiting potential as better candidates for COVID-19 treatment. The best inhibitors of each protease were tested in antiviral assay, with over 40% of Mpro inhibitors and over 20% of PLpro inhibitors showing high potency in viral inhibition with low cytotoxicity. The X-ray crystal structure of SARS-CoV-2 Mpro in complex with its potent inhibitor 4a was determined at 1.8 Å resolution. Together with docking assays, our results provide a comprehensive resource for future research on anti-SARS-CoV-2 drug development.

Objective:To compare the clinical efficacy and toxicity of intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) and three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3D-CRT) in radical radiotherapy for cervical cancer.Methods:Clinical data of 1002 patients with cervical cancer treated with radical radiotherapy at Zhejiang Cancer Hospital from September 2013 to December 2016 were retrospectively analyzed. All patients were divided into the IMRT group and 3D-CRT group according to the technology of external beam radiation therapy (EBRT). After 1∶1 propensity score matching (PSM), clinical prognosis of patients receiving IMRT or 3D-CRT was compared. Continuous data were expressed as Mean ± SD or median . Categorical data were described by case number (percentage). Quantitative data were compared by t-test. Qualitative data were compared by chi-square test or Fisher's exact test. Survival rates in two groups were calculated by Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank test. Results:The percentage of patients who received pelvic and para-aortic radiotherapy in the IMRT group was significantly higher than that in the 3D-CRT group (14.9% vs. 1.2%, P<0.001). The percentage of patients whose positive lymph nodes dose reached 55 Gy or more in the IMRT group was significantly higher than that in the 3D-CRT group (26.6% vs. 15.5%, P=0.002). In the IMRT group, the 5-year disease-free survival (DFS) rate (74.6% vs. 68.9%, P=0.084) and overall survival (OS) rate (79.4% vs. 74.9%, P=0.270) were slightly higher than those in the 3D-CRT group, but there were no significant differences between two groups. In the IMRT group, the local recurrence (3.0% vs. 6.9%, P=0.020) and distant lymph node metastasis rates (4.2% vs. 9.0%, P=0.013) were significantly lower compared with those in the 3D-CRT group. In terms of acute radiotherapy toxicities, grade 3-4 leukopenia (46.3% vs. 37.9%, P=0.028) and anemia (18.8% vs. 14.0%, P<0.001) occurred significantly more frequently in the IMRT group than in the 3D-CRT group. Conclusions:Both IMRT and 3D-CRT could achieve good therapeutic outcomes in radical radiotherapy of cervical cancer. IMRT can boost the radiation dose of metastatic lymph nodes and has significant advantages in reducing local recurrence and distant lymph node metastasis.

Objective:To investigate the short-term efficacy and safety of Donafenib as postoperative adjuvant therapy for patients with high risk of recurrence after radical resection of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).Methods:The propensity score matching (PSM) and retrospective cohort study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of 157 HCC patients with high risk of recurrence after radical resection who were admitted to 6 medical centers, including The First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University et al, from June 2021 to February 2023 were collected. There were 128 males and 29 females, aged (59±10)years. Of 157 patients, 101 cases undergoing Donafenib as postoperative adjuvant therapy were divided into the the Donafenib group, and 56 cases under-going no systemic postoperative adjuvant therapy were divided into the control group. Observation indicators: (1) PSM and comparison of general data of patients between the two groups after matching; (2) postoperative treatment; (3) follow-up and survival of patients; (4) analysis of risk factors affecting recurrence-free survival of patients. PSM was done based on the principle of optimal perfect matching, with the clamp value of 0.5, and the Donafenib group and the control group were matched at a ratio of 1.25∶1. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, and comparison between groups was conducted using the t test. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M(range). Count data were described as absolute numbers and/or percentages, and comparison between groups was conducted using the chi-square test. Comparison of ordinal data between groups was conducted using the Kruskal-Wallis H test. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate survival rates and draw survival curves, and the Log-Rank test was used for survival analysis. The COX proportional hazard model was used for univariate and multivariate analyses. Results:(1) PSM and comparison of general data of patients between the two groups after matching. Of 157 patients, 126 cases were successfully matched, including 70 cases in the Donafenib group and 56 cases in the control group, respectively. The elimination of tumor number confounding bias ensured comparability between the two groups after PSM. (2) Postoperative treatment. After PSM, of 70 patients in the Donafenib group, there were 23 cases receiving Donafenib monotherapy, 26 cases combined with transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE), 14 cases combined with immunotherapy, and 7 cases combined with TACE+immunotherapy. Of 56 patients in the control group, there were 37 cases receiving postoperative follow-up alone and 19 cases combined with TACE. (3) Follow-up and survival of patients. All 157 patients were followed up, and the follow-up time of the 101 patients in Donafenib group and the 56 patients in control group were 10.1(range, 6.3-14.6)months and 22.2(range, 15.1-25.5)months, respectively. During the follow-up period, 70 patients in the Donafenib group experienced treatment-related adverse reactions, inclu-ding 8 cases of grade 3 adverse reactions, 23 cases of grade 2 and 39 cases of grade 1 adverse reactions, respectively. After PSM, the postoperative 12-, 18-month recurrence-free survival rates were 83.7%, 83.7% in the 70 patients of Donafenib group and 67.8%, 58.9% in the 56 patients of control group, respectively, showing a significant difference in the postoperative recurrence-free survival time between the two groups ( hazard ratio=0.395, 95% confidence interval as 0.176-0.888, P<0.05). (4) Analysis of risk factors affecting recurrence free survival of patients. Results of multivariate ana-lysis showed that microvascular invasion, vascular thrombus, clinical stage as ⅢA were independent risk factors affecting recurrence-free survival in patients with high risk of recurrence after radical resection of HCC ( hazard ratio=2.181, 2.612, 2.612, 95% confidence interval as 1.028-4.629, 1.128-6.047, 1.128-6.047, P<0.05), Donafenib as postoperative adjuvant therapy was an independent protective factor affecting recurrence-free survival in patients with high risk of recurrence after radical resection of HCC ( hazard ratio=0.457, 95% confidence interval as 0.227-0.920, P<0.05). Results of further analysis showed that after PSM, there were significant differences in the postoperative recurrence-free survival time in patients with different clinical factors, including male, age ≥60 years, tumor diameter >5 cm, positive microvascular invasion, positive hepatitis B virus infection, alpha fetoprotein <200 μg/L, between the Donafenib group and the control group ( hazard ratio=0.283, 0.202, 0.174, 0.345, 0.273, 0.180, 95% confidence interval as 0.114-0.707, 0.044-0.937, 0.038-0.794, 0.128-0.929, 0.091-0.819, 0.052-0.620, P<0.05). Conclusion:Donafenib as postoperative adjuvant therapy can effectively reduce the short-term recurrence rate in patients with high risk of recurrence after radical resection of HCC, with good safety and tolerance.
