BACKGROUND:Crosslinked sodium hyaluronate gel has good mechanical property,biocompatibility,and biodegradability,and can be used as an isolated protective material in tumor radiation therapy to protect endangered organs from damage caused by excess radiation dose. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the safety and efficacy of crosslinked sodium hyaluronate gel in reducing the dose of radiation to dangerous organs during brachytherapy. METHODS:A total of 16 specific pathogen-free Kunming mice of the same age and similar body weight were selected as experimental subjects and divided into experimental group and control group by the random number table method,with 8 mice in each group.125I seeds were implanted subcutaneously in the back of mice in the experimental group,and then crosslinked sodium hyaluronate gel was injected around the radioactive particles.Only 125I seeds were implanted subcutaneously in the back of mice in the control group.After injection,the distance between the radioactive particles and the epidermis was measured by spiral CT scan,and the surface radiation dose was measured by radiation dosimeter.Within 10 weeks after injection,the growth state,survival rate,skin radiation damage,and gel retention of mice were observed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Spiral CT scan showed that the implanted gel was relatively concentrated and created an effective distance between the radioactive seeds and the epidermis.The body surface radiation dose of the experimental group was significantly lower than that of the control group(P<0.01).(2)During the experimental observation period,mice in both groups survived;mice in the control group showed obvious irritability and other unstable behavior in the late experimental period,and some mice in the experimental group showed similar behavior.The daily food intake of mice in the two groups had no significant change,and the body mass showed the same increasing trend.After implantation of radioactive seeds,the two groups of mice showed different degrees of radioactive skin injury.From day 23 after injection to the end of the experiment,the skin radiation injury score of the experimental group was lower than that of the control group(P<0.01).At week 10 after implantation,6 mice in the experimental group had no obvious gel residue under their skin,and 2 mice had a very small amount of scattered gel-like samples under their skin.(3)Therefore,the crosslinked sodium hyaluronate injection technique can increase the space between the radioactive target area of 125I seeds and the organ at risk outside the target through physical space occupying,which can effectively reduce the dose of the organ at risk,and play a role in the isolation and protection of the organ at risk.

Objective:
To explore the relationship between psychological resilience and attention bias towards negative information in secondary vocational school students, so as to provide reference for developing their mental health work.
Methods:
In May, 2024, 177 secondary vocational students were selected from the technical secondary vocational school by convenient sampling method. The experiment utilized a mixed experimental design of 2 (group: high psychological resilience group, low psychological resilience group) ×2 (type of stimulus: negative stimulus, neutral stimulus). Adolescents were divided into the high psychological resilience group ( n =32) and the low psychological resilience group ( n =31) based on their scores from the Adolescent Psychological Resilience Scale. Both groups completed the classical dot probing task, with correct rate, reaction time serving and attention biasvalues as primary indicators to assess attention bias. Repeated measures ANOVA was used to compare the reaction time and accuracy of attention bias tasks between two groups of participants, and Pearson correlation analysis was performed on the five dimensions of psychological resilience and attention bias values.
Results:
The low resilience group exhibited significantly faster response time to negative stimuli compared to neutral stimuli [(579.11±85.44, 586.13±78.92)ms, F (1,61)=5.93, P <0.05]. Additionally, the accuracy of responses to negative stimuli in the low resilience group was significantly lower than that of neutral stimuli [(0.93±0.12, 0.95±0.09), F (1,61)=12.81, P <0.01]. Attention bias values were significantly higher in the low resilience group (7.03±18.43) compared to the high resilience group (-2.54±13.39) ( t =2.36, P <0.05). Pearson correlation analysis revealed a marginally significant negative correlation between the interpersonal assistance (2.85±0.77) and attention bias values (2.20±16.65) ( r=-0.25, P <0.05).
Conclusion
Secondary vocational school students with low psychological resilience showed a significant attention bias towards negative emotional stimuli, which may render them more susceptible to such stimuli.

Objective:To investigate the impact of neoadjuvant immunotherapy combined with chemotherapy on the safety and efficacy of radical resection in patients with cT3-4NxM0 gastric cancer.Methods:A retrospective cohort study method was used. The clinicopathological data of 515 patients who underwent radical gastrectomy after neoadjuvant treatment at Second Department of Gastric Surgery,Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center and Department of Gastric Surgery,Zhangzhou Hospital Affiliated to Fujian Medical University from January 2020 to June 2023 were collected. Among them,379 patients received neoadjuvant chemotherapy alone(chemotherapy group),and 136 patients received neoadjuvant immunotherapy combined with chemotherapy(immunotherapy group). There were 382 males and 133 females,with an age of (58.4±10.9)years(range:26 to 85 years). To reduce the influence of potential confounding factors,a 1∶1 propensity score matching method was adopted,and the clamp value was 0.02. The peri-operative safety,imaging and postoperative pathological tumor regression,and prognosis were compared by independent sample t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, χ 2 test or Fisher exact probability method between the two groups. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to draw survival curves, and the differences between groups were compared by Log-rank test. Results:After matching, there were 101 patients in each of the chemotherapy group and the immunotherapy group. The baseline data of the patients in the two groups were evenly distributed (all P>0.05). According to the RECIST 1.1 criteria, the complete response rate (11.9% (12/101) vs. 4.0% (4/101)), partial response rate(68.3%(69/101) vs. 53.4%(54/101)), stable disease rate (17.8%(18/101) vs. 39.6%(40/101)) and disease progression rate (2.0%(2/101) vs. 3.0%(3/101)) between the immunotherapy group and the chemotherapy group were no statistical defferences ( χ2=14.374, P=0.002), and objective response rate (80.2%(81/101) vs. 57.4%(58/101), χ2=12.203, P<0.01) in the immunotherapy group was higher than that in the chemotherapy group. The results of postoperative pathological examination showed that the immunotherapy group had a higher complete response rate (16.8%(17/101) vs. 6.9% (7/101), χ2=4.728, P=0.030) and major pathological response rate (42.6%(43/101) vs. 23.8% (24/101), χ2=8.062, P=0.005). For the two groups, the operation time (175.0(76.0)minutes vs. 160.0 (30.0)minutes, Z=-0.059, P=0.953), intraoperative blood loss (110.0 (150.0)ml vs. 100.0 (120.0)ml, Z=-0.370, P=0.712), overall incidence of postoperative complications (20.8%(21/101) vs. 18.8%(19/101), χ2=0.125, P=0.724) and incidence of severe complications (5.0%(5/101) vs. 3.0%(3/101), χ2=0.130, P=0.718) were comparable. The median follow-up time of all patients was 46 months(range: 19 to 61 months). The 3-year overall survival rate (63.2% vs. 54.4%, P=0.035) and progression-free survival rate (59.1% vs. 45.6%, P=0.022) of the immunotherapy group were higher than those of the chemotherapy group. Meanwhile, there were no statistically significant differences in the incidence of neoadjuvant-treatment-related adverse events (48.5%(49/101) vs. 40.6% (41/101), χ2=1.283, P=0.411) and the incidence of severe adverse reactions of grade 3 or above (13.9% (14/101) vs. 10.9% (11/101), χ2=0.257, P=0.522) between the two groups. Conclusion:Neoadjuvant immunotherapy combined with chemotherapy can significantly improve the imaging and postoperative pathological tumor response rates and 3-year survival rate of patients with locally advanced gastric cancer,without increasing the incidence of postoperative complications and neoadjuvant treatment-related adverse event.

Objective:To investigate the incidence of postoperative complications in Chinese patients with gastric or colorectal cancer, and to evaluate the risk factors for postoperative complications.Methods:This was a national, multicenter, prospective, registry-based, cohort study of data obtained from the database of the Prevalence of Abdominal Complications After Gastro- enterological Surgery (PACAGE) study sponsored by the China Gastrointestinal Cancer Surgical Union. The PACAGE database prospectively collected general demographic characteristics, protocols for perioperative treatment, and variables associated with postoperative complications in patients treated for gastric or colorectal cancer in 20 medical centers from December 2018 to December 2020. The patients were grouped according to the presence or absence of postoperative complications. Postoperative complications were categorized and graded in accordance with the expert consensus on postoperative complications in gastrointestinal oncology surgery and Clavien-Dindo grading criteria. The incidence of postoperative complications of different grades are presented as bar charts. Independent risk factors for occurrence of postoperative complications were identified by multifactorial unconditional logistic regression.Results:The study cohort comprised 3926 patients with gastric or colorectal cancer, 657 (16.7%) of whom had a total of 876 postoperative complications. Serious complications (Grade III and above) occurred in 4.0% of patients (156/3926). The rate of Grade V complications was 0.2% (7/3926). The cohort included 2271 patients with gastric cancer with a postoperative complication rate of 18.1% (412/2271) and serious complication rate of 4.7% (106/2271); and 1655 with colorectal cancer, with a postoperative complication rate of 14.8% (245/1655) and serious complication rate of 3.0% (50/1655). The incidences of anastomotic leakage in patients with gastric and colorectal cancer were 3.3% (74/2271) and 3.4% (56/1655), respectively. Abdominal infection was the most frequently occurring complication, accounting for 28.7% (164/572) and 39.5% (120/304) of postoperative complications in patients with gastric and colorectal cancer, respectively. The most frequently occurring grade of postoperative complication was Grade II, accounting for 65.4% (374/572) and 56.6% (172/304) of complications in patients with gastric and colorectal cancers, respectively. Multifactorial analysis identified (1) the following independent risk factors for postoperative complications in patients in the gastric cancer group: preoperative comorbidities (OR=2.54, 95%CI: 1.51-4.28, P<0.001), neoadjuvant therapy (OR=1.42, 95%CI:1.06-1.89, P=0.020), high American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) scores (ASA score 2 points:OR=1.60, 95% CI: 1.23-2.07, P<0.001, ASA score ≥3 points:OR=0.43, 95% CI: 0.25-0.73, P=0.002), operative time >180 minutes (OR=1.81, 95% CI: 1.42-2.31, P<0.001), intraoperative bleeding >50 mL (OR=1.29,95%CI: 1.01-1.63, P=0.038), and distal gastrectomy compared with total gastrectomy (OR=0.65,95%CI: 0.51-0.83, P<0.001); and (2) the following independent risk factors for postoperative complications in patients in the colorectal cancer group: female (OR=0.60, 95%CI: 0.44-0.80, P<0.001), preoperative comorbidities (OR=2.73, 95%CI: 1.25-5.99, P=0.030), neoadjuvant therapy (OR=1.83, 95%CI:1.23-2.72, P=0.008), laparoscopic surgery (OR=0.47, 95%CI: 0.30-0.72, P=0.022), and abdominoperineal resection compared with low anterior resection (OR=2.74, 95%CI: 1.71-4.41, P<0.001). Conclusion:Postoperative complications associated with various types of infection were the most frequent complications in patients with gastric or colorectal cancer. Although the risk factors for postoperative complications differed between patients with gastric cancer and those with colorectal cancer, the presence of preoperative comorbidities, administration of neoadjuvant therapy, and extent of surgical resection, were the commonest factors associated with postoperative complications in patients of both categories.
8.Research progress of EBV in tumor immune microenvironment and immunotherapy of nasopharyngeal carcinoma
Journal of International Oncology 2024;51(6):359-363
Nasopharyngeal carcinoma is a type of cancer closely related to Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection and is accompanied by high-level immune cell infiltration around the cancer nest. There are two immune cells with opposite functions in the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) of EBV-positive nasopharyngeal carcinoma. However, due to the effects of EBV surface membrane proteins and interferon-γ and the high expression of programmed death receptor-1, TIME behaves as immunosuppressive effects. Immunotherapy utilizes the immunosuppressive properties of TIME to alter the level of immune response, thereby inhibiting the progression of nasopharyngeal cancer. Immunotherapy methods for EBV-related nasopharyngeal carcinoma include immune checkpoint inhibitors, cellular immunotherapy, tumor vaccines and oncolytic virus immunotherapy. Further exploration of the relationship between EBV and TIME and the role of EBV in the immunotherapy strategy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma can provide a basis for precise immunotherapy of EBV-positive nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

Objective:Abnormal immune system activation and inflammation are crucial in causing Parkinson's disease.However,we still don't fully understand how certain immune-related genes contribute to the disease's development and progression.This study aims to screen key immune-related gene in Parkinson's disease based on weighted gene co-expression network analysis(WGCNA)and machine learning. Methods:This study downloaded the gene chip data from the Gene Expression Omnibus(GEO)database,and used WGCNA to screen out important gene modules related to Parkinson's disease.Genes from important modules were exported and a Venn diagram of important Parkinson's disease-related genes and immune-related genes was drawn to screen out immune related genes of Parkinson's disease.Gene ontology(GO)analysis and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG)were used to analyze the the functions of immune-related genes and signaling pathways involved.Immune cell infiltration analysis was performed using the CIBERSORT package of R language.Using bioinformatics method and 3 machine learning methods[least absolute shrinkage and selection operator(LASSO)regression,random forest(RF),and support vector machine(SVM)],the immune-related genes of Parkinson's disease were further screened.A Venn diagram of differentially expressed genes screened using the 4 methods was drawn with the intersection gene being hub nodes(hub)gene.The downstream proteins of the Parkinson's disease hub gene was identified through the STRING database and a protein-protein interaction network diagram was drawn. Results:A total of 218 immune genes related to Parkinson's disease were identified,including 45 upregulated genes and 50 downregulated genes.Enrichment analysis showed that the 218 genes were mainly enriched in immune system response to foreign substances and viral infection pathways.The results of immune infiltration analysis showed that the infiltration percentages of CD4+ T cells,NK cells,CD8+ T cells,and B cells were higher in the samples of Parkinson's disease patients,while resting NK cells and resting CD4+ T cells were significantly infiltrated in the samples of Parkinson's disease patients.ANK1 was screened out as the hub gene.The analysis of the protein-protein interaction network showed that the ANK1 translated and expressed 11 proteins which mainly participated in functions such as signal transduction,iron homeostasis regulation,and immune system activation. Conclusion:This study identifies the Parkinson's disease immune-related key gene ANK1 via WGCNA and machine learning methods,suggesting its potential as a candidate therapeutic target for Parkinson's disease.

Conclusion:Postoperative complications associated with various types of infection were the most frequent complications in patients with gastric or colorectal cancer. Although the risk factors for postoperative complications differed between patients with gastric cancer and those with colorectal cancer, the presence of preoperative comorbidities, administration of neoadjuvant therapy, and extent of surgical resection, were the commonest factors associated with postoperative complications in patients of both categories.
