Objective:To compare the prognostic impact of different extents of resection among patients with molecularly defined glioma subtypes.Methods:This retrospective cohort study included 1191 glioma patients who underwent surgical treatment at Beijing Tiantan Hospital, Capital Medical University, between January 2011 and January 2021. The cohort comprised 692 males and 499 females, with an age of (44.5±11.9) years (range: 18 to 75 years). Tumors were classified according to the 2021 WHO Classification of Tumors of the Central Nervous System (5th edition), and the extent of resection was assessed using postoperative MRI. Kaplan-Meier survival analyses and log-rank tests were used to evaluate the effects of resection extent on progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) within each molecular subtype. Cox proportional hazards models were applied to identify independent prognostic factors for PFS and OS. Follow-up was completed in January 2024.Results:Among the 1 191 patients, 291 (24.43%) had isocitrate dehydrogenase( IDH)-mutant, 1p/19q-codeleted oligodendroglioma (OG), 338 (28.37%) had IDH-mutant astrocytoma, and 562 (47.19%) had IDH-wild-type glioblastoma (GBM). Patients with IDH-mutant, 1p/19q-codeleted OG had the best prognosis, with median PFS and OS not reached. In IDH-wild type GBM, the median PFS and OS were 12.0 and 24.0 months, respectively; in IDH-mutant astrocytoma, the median PFS and OS were 61.0 and 102.0 months. Differences in PFS and OS among the three groups were statistically significant ( P<0.01). In patients with IDH-wild type GBM, supratotal resection yielded better PFS and OS than gross total resection ( P<0.05). In IDH-mutant astrocytoma, PFS and OS did not differ between supratotal and gross total resection ( P>0.05), while gross total resection was superior to subtotal resection ( P<0.05). In IDH-mutant, 1p/19q-codeleted OG, PFS and OS did not differ significantly across resection categories ( P>0.05). Multivariate analyses identified age, Karnofsky Performance Status, extent of resection, tumor grade, and O 6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase promoter methylation status as independent predictors of both PFS and OS ( P<0.05). Conclusions:For IDH-wild type GBM, maximal efforts should be made to achieve supratotal resection. For IDH-mutant astrocytoma, maximal safe resection is recommended with preservation of neurological function. For IDH-mutant, 1p/19q-codeleted oligodendroglioma, a relatively conservative approach may be appropriate to protect neurological function.

The chronicity of infectious diseases is an important field in the collaborative research of traditional Chinese and Western medicine. The warm disease theory of pathogen invading nutrient and blood aspects in traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） takes the struggle between healthy Qi and pathogenic Qi and cementation of Yin as the core pathogenesis， providing a unique theoretical framework for explaining the common pathology of infectious chronic diseases. This theory originated from Yin-Yang interaction in the Internal Classic and was enriched with WU Youke's theory of intruding pathogen interacting and lingering in blood vessels and YE Tianshi's theory of long-term illness entering collaterals. Combining the theory with modern medical knowledge， our team has condensed the dynamic pathogenesis model of deficiency （nutrient and blood aspects） and excess （pathogen） interacting in the blood collaterals of Yin aspect， the core feature of which is the four-dimensional interactions of cause （pathogen characteristics）， location （three Yin locations of diseases）， nature （deficiency and excess）， and potential （transmission trend）. The common pathology of infectious chronic diseases is reflected in interactions. That is， the interactions between nutrient and blood deficiency （immune exhaustion and metabolic disorder） and pathogen excess （pathogen persistence and fibrous hyperplasia） in the liver collaterals （Jueyin）， kidney collaterals （Shaoyin）， lung collaterals （Taiyin） and other blood collaterals of Yin aspect form the pathological damage characterized by immune inflammatory response-continuous tissue damage with excessive repair. Taking the inheritance and innovative development of classics as the main line， this paper systematically discusses the scientific connotation of the theory of pathogen invading nutrient and blood aspects and the paths of inheritance and innovation and clarifies the original significance of this theory in the chronic development of infectious diseases. Furthermore， taking clinical diseases as an example， this paper reflects the guiding value of this classical theory in the modern diagnosis and treatment of infectious diseases with integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine and the application potential of this theory in solving complex medical problems through the construction of the innovative paradigm of precise diagnosis and treatment with integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine.

Objective: To summarize the status of immediate breast reconstruction (IBR) after mastectomy in Beijing City, Tianjin City and Hebei Province. Methods: A retrospective analysis was made on the data of 382 cases with breast cancer who were treated and followed up successfully with immediate breast reconstruction after mastectomy from January 2012 to December 2016 in Beijing City, Tianjin City and Hebei Province. Clinic data of the followed-up 382 cases (all female, age (38.5±4.2) years (range: 24 to 70 years)), including general information, tumor information, sugery methods, and treatments after surgery were collected. The survival status, metastasis,complications and prognosis were followed up. Cosmetic effcet was evalated by Harris method, and life quality by Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Breast scale (FACT-B). χ² test was used to compare the difference between year 2012 and year 2013 to 2016. Bonferroni method was used to correct the inspection level, which was 0.05/10=0.005. The trend of IBR rate (ratio of IBR to modified radical mastectomy) from 2013 to 2016 was analyzed by trend χ² test. Results: There was 46 cases in stage 0, 152 cases in stage Ⅰ, 165 cases in stage Ⅱ, 19 cases in stage Ⅲ. Twenty-five cases was treated by neoadjuvant chemotherapy, 231 by chemotherapy and 35 by radiotherapy. The proportion of implant reconstruction was 48.7% (186/382), more than expanded of 21.5% (82/382), with latissimus dorsi of 12.0% (46/382), TRAM of 8.9% (34/382), DIEP of 2.1% (8/382), and latissimus plus implant of 6.8% (26/382). According to the Harris standard, the excellent and good rate of the cosmetic effect of the reconstructed breast was 93.7%. The score of FACT-B was 108.20±16.9 (range: 67 to 144) 1 year postoperatively. Compared with 2012, the IBR rate was significant increased, till 2015, the IBR rate was 153/10 000 cases (χ²=47.028, P=0.000). Conclusions There is a significant increase on IBR rate in Beijing City, Tianjin City and Hebei province by year. Most of cases received IBR is stage Ⅰ to Ⅱ. Implant reconstruction is the main reconstructive method. Postoperative cosmetic effects and quality of life are both meet patients′ demon.

Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most malignant primary brain tumor, and it has very poor prognosis. In recent years, the immunotherapy has become a hot issue in the treatment of malignancies. The traditional treatment regimen combined with immunotherapy might make a progress in the diagnosis and treatment of GBM. This paper reviews the explanation of the traditional chemoradiotherapy affecting the body's anti-tumor and immunity mechanism, and the current achievement of standard chemoradiotherapy combined with immunotherapy, to explore the potential benefits to GBM patients.

Objective: To analyze the treatment effect of patients with glioblastoma (GBM) and explore prognostic factors. Methods: The clinical data of 635 patients diagnosed as GBM at Neurosurgical Oncology Department Ⅳ of Beijing Tiantan Hospital, Capital Medical University from January 2007 to March 2018 were retrospectively reviewed. There were 386 males and 249 females with an age of (48.7±11.8) years (range: 18-75 years). Patients were divided into three groups according to the time of admission: 2007-2010 group(n=174), 2011-2014 group (n=237) and 2015-2018 group (n=224). Kaplan-Meier plot was used to analyze the effects of different treatment periods, treatment schemes and clinical factors on the survival of patients with GBM. Cox proportion hazard regression analysis was used to identify independent prognostic factors. Results: The median progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) of patients in 2007-2010 group, 2011-2014 group, 2015-2018 group was 9.0 months (95% CI: 7.5-10.5), 10.0 months (95% CI: 8.8-11.2), 12.0 months (95% CI: 10.7-13.3) and 17.0 months (95% CI: 13.2-20.8), 20.0 months (95% CI: 16.9-23.1), 23.0 months(95% CI: 17.5-28.5), respectively. The PFS and OS of patients improved significantly over the years (χ²=9.693, P=0.008 and χ²=8.616, P=0.013). Multivariate survival analysis showed that age, extent of resection, radiotherapy and tumor distant dissemination were independent prognostic factors (all P<0.05). Conclusions With the continuous development of clinical treatment regimen, the therapeutic effect of Chinese GBM patients has improved remarkably. Age, extent of resection, radiotherapy and tumor distant dissemination are independent prognostic factors associated with survival time.

Objective To evaluate the feasibility of the combination of amplification refractory mutation system (ARMS) and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method in fast detection of clarithromycin resistance of Helicobacter pylori (H.pylori) in gastric mucosa.Methods A total of 150 gastric mucosal specimens with positive H.pylori culture were collected from the H.pylori positive patients who failed in H.pylori eradication from January to August in 2013.The drug resistant gene mutation types of H.pylori in these samples were detected by quantitative real-time PCR based on ARMS.And the accuracy was confirmed by sequencing.The clarithromycin resistance of H.pylori was determined by E-assay.Chi-square test was used for statistical analysis.Results Among 149 gastric mucosal specimens (one specimens without wild type or mutation type had been eliminated),the results of quantitative real-time PCR based on ARMS of two samples were not consistent with the results of sequencing;the consistent rate was 98.7％ (147/149).Among 149 specimens with positive H.pylori culture,104 samples (69.8％) were clarithromycin resistance.In 101 samples the clarithromycin resistance was detected by quantitative real-time PCR based on ARMS;the consistent rate was 97.1％ (101/104).Both E-assay and clarithromycin resistant rate detected by E-assay or quantitative real-time PCR based on ARMS was 69.8％ (104/149) and 67.8％ (101/149),respectively,and the difference was not significant (x2 =0.141,P=0.932).Conclusion The combination of ARMS and quantitative real-time PCR method in fast detection of clarithromycin resistance of H.pylori in gastric mucosa is strongly feasible and highly consistent has high consistent rate with sequencing and E-assay.
