It is very limited that the benefit of perioperative chemotherapy in early non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and the 5-year survival rate is only 5% higher than surgery. Antibodies that block programmed cell death protein 1/programmed death-ligand 1 significantly improve the survival of advanced NSCLC. The value of immunotherapy in early NSCLC is also being explored. This paper firstly summarized and analyzed the progress of immunotherapy in the perioperative period of NSCLC. Secondly, the safety and feasibility of surgical resection after neoadjuvant immunotherapy were discussed. Finally, the clinical value of different therapeutic efficacy prediction indicators was summarized, in order to clarify the current status of immunotherapy in the perioperative period, so as to improve the clinical benefits of early NSCLC patients.

Objective:To investigate the clinical features and prognostic factors of primary tonsil lymphoma(PTL).Methods:The clinical data of 41 patients diagnosed with PTL and treated in the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University from January 2015 to December 2022 were collected and retrospectively analyzed.Their clinical features and prognostic factors were analyzed.Results:All the 41 patients were newly diagnosed with PTL,and the median age of onset was 58(19-85)years.Among them,19 patients started with pharyngeal pain,12 patients presented with dysphagia,8 patients presented with pharyngeal mass,and 2 patients presented with blurred articulation.The most common pathological type was diffuse large B-cell lymphoma(24 cases,58.54％).All patients received chemotherapy,and 3 patients were combined with hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.Among 41 patients,11(26.83％)achieved complete response,14(34.15％)achieved partial response,and the total response rate was 60.98％(25/41).The median follow-up time was 37(6-107)months,the 5-year overall survival(OS)rate was 70.81％and 5-year progression-free survival(PFS)rate was 66.20％.Univariate analysis showed that B symptoms,Ki-67,β2-MG and IPI score had significant effects on PFS and OS of patients(all P＜0.05).Multivariate analysis showed that IPI score was an independent risk factor for PFS and OS of patients(P＜0.05).Conclusion:The clinical manifestations of PTL lack specificity,and the prognosis is relatively good.Most patients can achieve long-term survival after treatment.IPI score is related to the prognosis.

Background Bacteria are the most diverse and widely sourced microorganisms in the indoor air of subway stations, where pathogenic bacteria can spread through the air, leading to increased health risks. Objective To understand the status and distribution characteristics of indoor air bacterial pollution in subway stations and compartments in a city of Central South China, and to provide a scientific basis for formulating intervention measures to address indoor air bacteria pollution in subways. Methods Three subway stations and the compartments of trains parking there in a city in Central South China were selected according to passenger flow for synchronous air sampling and monitoring. Temperature, humidity, wind speed, carbon dioxide (CO₂), fine particulate matter (PM_2.5), and inhalable particulate matter (PM₁₀) were measured by direct reading method. In accordance with the requirements of Examination methods for public places-Part 3: Airborne microorganisms (GB/T 18204.3-2013), air samples were collected at a flow rate of 28.3 L·min⁻¹, and total bacterial count was estimated. Bacterial microbial species were identified with a mass spectrometer and pathogenic bacteria were distinguished from non-pathogenic bacteria according to the Catalogue of pathogenic microorganisms transmitted to human beings issued by National Health Commission. Kruskal-Wallis H test was used to compare the subway hygiene indicators in different regions and time periods, and Bonferroni test was used for pairwise comparison. Spearman correlation test was used to evaluate the correlation between CO₂ concentration and total bacterial count. Results The pass rates were 100.0% for airborne total bacteria count, PM_2.5, and PM₁₀ in the subway stations and train compartments, 94.4% for temperature and wind speed, 98.6% for CO₂, but 0% for humidity. The overall median (P₂₅, P₇₅) total bacteria count was 177 (138,262) CFU·m⁻³. Specifically, the total bacteria count was higher in station halls than in platforms, and higher during morning peak hours than during evening peak hours (P<0.05). A total of 874 strains and 82 species were identified by automatic microbial mass spectrometry. The results of identification were all over 9 points, and the predominant bacteria in the air were Micrococcus luteus (52.2%) and Staphylococcus hominis (9.8%). Three pathogens, Acinetobacter baumannii (0.3%), Corynebacterium striatum (0.1%), and Staphylococcus epidermidis bacilli (2.2%) were detected in 23 samples (2.6%), and the associated locations were mainly distributed in train compartments during evening rush hours. Conclusion The total bacteria count in indoor air varies by monitoring sites of subway stations and time periods, and there is a risk of opportunistic bacterial infection. Attention should be paid to cleaning and disinfection during peak passenger flow hours in all areas.

This study was aimed at understanding the molecular characteristics of Plasmodium ovale curtisi and Plasmodi-um ovale wallikeri imported cases in Chongqing,to provide data to support monitoring and control efforts.In a retrospective analysis,26 Plasmodium ovale archival blood samples were characterized with respect to five molecular markers(Cox1,Cytb,Tra,Dhfr,and K13)from 2013 to 2023.PCR amplification of partial fragments of the Cox1,Cytb,and Tra genes of Plas-modium ovale was performed to distinguish the two subspecies.The drug-resistance Dhfr and K13 genes of Plasmodium ovale were amplified with PCR assays followed by DNA sequencing,and the sequences were aligned.The differentiation of 26 cases of Plasmodium ovale(14 cases of curtisi subspecies and 12 cases of wallikeri subspecies)according to ssrRNA was consistent with the classification results of Cox1,Cytb,and TRA genes.Thirteen single nucleotide dimorphism sites were identified in Cox 1,including the 145 and 153 loci,with only variations in amino acids M176I and I288V at loci 528 and 862,and N337H mutation in one sample.Twelve base substitutions were found among Cytb gene subspecies,with only the M248I mutation in amino acid 248.A total of 49 nucleotide dimorphism sites in Tra gene,resulting in 18 amino acid mutations,were identified be-tween the two subspecies.In the curtisi type sample,the poc1 type had more PINTINPINTIN and TITPIS amino acid units than the poc2 type.The mutation rate of the Dhfr gene was rel-atively high:25％of the samples showed S58R mutations.The K13 gene subspecies was not homozygous,and one sample was heterozygous.This study confirmed the dimorphism and mutation sites between Plasmodium ovale curtisi and wallikeri sub-species in Cox1,Cytb,Tra,Dhfr,and K13 gene fragments of imported Plasmodium ovale in Chongqing,thus enriching knowledge regarding gene polymorphisms in Plasmodium ovale curtisi and wallikeri imported cases.

Objective:To summarize the clinical features of reversible posterior encephalopathy syndrome(PRES)after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation(allo-HSCT)in children.Methods:The clinical data of six children who developed PRES after undergoing allo-HSCT in the Department of Hematology of Wuhan Children's Hospital from June 2016 to December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed,and their clinical characteristics,imaging examination,laboratory examination,and treatment regression were summarized.Results:Among 281 children underwent allo-HSCT,6 cases(2.14％)developed PRES,with a median age of 5.1(1.5-9.7)years old.4 cases underwent related haploidentical donor transplantation,and 2 cases underwent sibling allografting and unrelated donor allografting donor transplantation,respectively.All six children had an acute onset of illness,with clinical manifestations of nausea and vomiting,seizures,psychiatric disorders,visual disturbances.The five cases elevated blood pressure.All children with PRES were treated with oral immunosuppressive drugs during seizures,and 3 cases were combined with different degrees of graft-versus-host disease.Most of the children showed effective improvement in clinical symptoms and imaging after adjusting/discontinuing suspected medications(cyclosporine,etc.)and symptomatic supportive treatments(oral antihypertensive,diazepam for antispasmodic,mannitol to lower cranial blood pressure),and one of them relapsed more than 8 months after the first seizure.Conclusion:PRES is rare after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in children,and its onset may be related to hypertension,cytotoxic drugs,graft-versus-host disease,etc.Most of them can be recovered after active treatment,but not completely reversible,and the prognosis of those who combined with TMA is poor.

Objective To determine the levels of arsenic in food in Chongqing city,and to assess the levels of dietary arsenic exposure and the associated potential health risks in residents of Chongqing city.Methods By using the monitoring data on arsenic levels in food in Chongqing between 2018 and 2023 in combination with the local dietary survey data for Chongqing from the 2018 China Nutrition and Health Survey Program,and adopting the 2-dimensional Monte Carlo simulation,we made an estimate of the dietary arsenic exposure levels of Chongqing residents.The margin of exposure(MOE)method was applied to assess both non-carcinogenic risks(skin damage)and carcinogenic risks(lung cancer and urinary system cancers)associated with dietary intake of arsenic.Results Out of 4900 food samples,the detection rate of arsenic was 36.40％,with the average levels ranging from the median bound(MB)of 0.020 7 to the upper bound(UB)of 0.023 4 mg/kg.The highest average levels were found in rice and its products,with an MB of 0.0981 and a UB of 0.098 5 mg/kg.The daily average exposure to inorganic arsenic for residents of different ages,sexes,and places of residence was highest in individuals aged 3 to 6,with an MB of 1.046 μg/(kg·d)and a UB of 1.116 μg/(kg·d),and lowest among individuals aged 60 and older.Arsenic exposure was higher in males than that in females and higher in people living in rural areas compared to those in urban areas.In terms of non-carcinogenic risks,the MOE values for inorganic arsenic were always higher than 1 in various populations.As for carcinogenic risks,the MOE values were all less than 100 in various populations.Rice and its products were the main source of dietary arsenic exposure in Chongqing,accounting for 69.97％to 74.37％of the total exposure.Conclusion The non-carcinogenic risk caused by dietary arsenic exposure in Chongqing is relatively low,but there may be a certain level of carcinogenic risk.Continued attentions should be given to dietary arsenic exposure levels in young children.
