Background and purpose:Effective treatment for cervical cancer patients is one of the global strategies to eliminate cervical cancer.By analyzing the metastasis characteristics and survival status of patients with distant metastasis of cervical cancer from a hospital-based cancer registry data,our study provided real-world evidence for better survival of cervical cancer and finally eliminating cervical cancer.Methods:A total of 572 cervical cancer patients who had metastasis cancer at the initial diagnosis or developed distant metastasis during follow-up in Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center from 2008 to 2017 were included in this study.Medical records review,telephone visits and death registry data linkage were applied in collecting endpoint data.The first follow-up date was the diagnose date of metastasis,and the last follow-up date was November 1,2020.Kaplan-Meier method was applied in evaluating the 1-,3-and 5-year overall survival(OS)rates for overall and site-specific patients.Results:The median follow-up time was 38.93 months,and 348 cases died during the follow-up.72.55%were single site metastasis,and 27.45%were multiple metastases.Among all metastatic sites,the proportion of lung metastasis was the highest,41.26%,15.21%to bone,and 11.54%to liver.After metastasis,the 1-year,3-year and 5-year OS rates were 62.29%(95%CI:62.25-62.33),33.13%(95%CI:33.08-33.18)and 23.42%(95%CI:23.37-23.47),respectively.In single site metastasis,1-year OS was the highest after metastasis to the lung(72.52%).Besides,there was no significant difference among different metastatic sites,both in 3-year and 5-year OS.Conclusion:The most frequent distant metastatic sites of cervical cancer are lung,bone and liver.The survival rate after metastasis is poor.Further research with systematic treatment strategy is required for better survival.

Colorectal cancer is currently one of the most common malignant tumors in the world,and its incidence and mortality rates have gradually increased in recent years.As insidious symptoms characterize early colorectal cancer,most of the patients have already developed into late or advanced stages in the primary survey.For stage Ⅳ metastatic colorectal cancer(mCRC),surgery supplemented with chemotherapy or radiotherapy for mCRC patients has a low 5-year survival rate.With the development of immunology in recent years,PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors have made breakthroughs in treating malignant tumors.They also have improved the therapeutic efficacy of some mCRC patients,especially those with microsatellite instability-high/mismatch repair deficient.The guidelines recommend this approach.However,patients with microsatellite stable/mismatch repair proficiency,which accounts for more than 90%,are poorly treated with PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors.Fortunately,there are several clinical studies that reported that some of this type of mCRC can gain some benefit.In this review,we examined the anti-tumor mechanism of PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors and the latest progress of PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor's clinical application in patients of mCRC with different genotypes.We discussed the prospect of PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor combination therapy to provide a reference to the benefit of this type of patients and provide information for optimizing the dosing regimen of PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors in the treatment of mCRC.

ObjectiveTo analyze the induction effect of Fusobacterium nucleatum （Fn） on endoplasmic reticulum stress-related proteins Glucose-regulating protein 78（GRP78） and X-box binding protein 1（XBP1） in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma （ESCC）， and to explore its potential mechanism and clinical significance. MethodsESCC cells KYSE150 and KYSE140 were infected with Fn for 12 h， 24 h and 48 h. The oxidative stress indexes （ROS， MDA and SOD） and the expression of GRP78 and XBP1 in each group were detected by oxidative stress index kit and Western blot. The experiment was divided into Fn groups， Fn+siNC1 groups， Fn+siGRP78 groups， Fn+siNC2 groups and Fn+siXBP1 groups； the oxidative stress indexes， paclitaxel （PTX） response efficacy， abilities of proliferation， invasion and metastasis in each group were compared. The infection of Fn and the expression of GRP78 and XBP1 in 234 ESCC and paracancerous tissues were detected by RNA scope and immunohistochemistry. The correlation between each factor and clinicopathological characteristics of patients was analyzed by Chi-square test. The influence of each factor on the survival of patients was compared by Kaplan-meier survival estimate. ResultsCompared with Fn uninfected KYSE150 and KYSE140 cells， the content of ROS and MDA was gradually increased， the activity of SOD was gradually decreased， and the expression of GRP78 and XBP1 was gradually increased in Fn infected groups （12 h， 24 h and 48 h） （P < 0.05）. Compared with Fn groups， Fn+siNC1 groups， and Fn+siNC2 groups， ROS and MDA contents were decreased， SOD activity was increased， PTX response efficacy was enhanced， and abilities of proliferation， invasion and metastasis were decreased in Fn+siGRP78 and Fn+siXBP1 groups （P < 0.05）. The rates of Fn， GRP78 and XBP1 in ESCC tissues were 43.16%， 69.66% and 60.68%， respectively. And the three indexes were significantly consistent （P < 0.05）. The patients with positive Fn infection and high expression of GRP78 and XBP1 were mostly males with a history of smoking and drinking， and the tumor differentiation degree was low， the invasion degree was deep， the lymph node metastasis rate was high， and the clinical stage was mostly stage Ⅲ/Ⅳ. The 5-year survival time of patients with above positive indexes was shortened （P < 0.05）. ConclusionsFn could induce endoplasmic reticulum stress by inducing the high expression of GRP78 and XBP1， and promote the malignant evolution of ESCC.

OBJECTIVE: The mode of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) transmission via injection drug use (IDU) still exists, and the recent shift in IDU-related transmission of HIV infection is largely unknown. The purpose of this study was to analyze the spatiotemporal sources and dynamics of HIV-1 transmission through IDU in Guangxi. METHODS: We performed a molecular epidemiological investigation of infections across Guangxi from 2009 to 2019. Phylogenetic and Bayesian time-geographic analyses of HIV-1 sequences were performed to confirm the characteristics of transmission between IDUs in combination with epidemiological data. RESULTS: Among the 535 subjects, CRF08_BC (57.4%), CRF01_AE (28.4%), and CRF07_BC (10.7%) were the top 3 HIV strains; 72.6% of infections were linked to other provinces in the transmission network; 93.6% of sequence-transmitted strains were locally endemic, with the rest coming from other provinces, predominantly Guangdong and Yunnan; 92.1% of the HIV transmission among people who inject drugs tended to be transmitted between HIV-positive IDUs. CONCLUSION HIV recombinants were high diversity, and circulating local strains were the transmission sources among IDUs in Guangxi. However, there were still cases of IDUs linked to other provinces. Coverage of traditional prevention strategies should be expanded, and inter-provincial collaboration between Guangxi, Yunnan, and Guangdong provinces should be strengthened.

Diabetes is a metabolic disease mainly characterized by hyperglycemia due to inadequate insulin secretion. And persistent hyperglycemia can cause chronic damage or dysfunction of eyes， kidneys， heart， blood vessels and nerves. Polysaccharides are high molecular carbohydrates polymerized by glycosidic bonds from more than 10 monosaccharide molecules of the same or different types. They have the advantages of wide sources， high safety and low toxic and so on. As one of the important effective components of traditional Chinese medicine， polysaccharides have biological activities such as immune regulation， anti-oxidation， anti-tumor， lowering blood sugar and so on. The structure is directly related to biological activities， and the advanced structure of polysaccharides is based on the primary structure. Exploring the primary structure of polysaccharides is the key task of lowering blood sugar and improving diabetic complications. This paper summarizes the monosaccharide composition of the primary structure of Chinese medicine polysaccharides， and the mechanism of Chinese medicine polysaccharides improving diabetes is emphasized by increasing the secretion and release of insulin， increasing the islet β cell number， upregulating insulin receptor level， improving glucose and lipid metabolism， inhibiting inflammatory response， improving oxidative stress and regulating phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase（PI3K）/protein kinase B （Akt）， mitogen activated protein kinase， cyclic adenosine monophosphate（cAMP）/protein kinase A（PKA） and adenosine monophosphate activated protein kinase（AMPK） signaling pathways. At the same time， we also summarized the prevention and treatment of Chinese medicine polysaccharides in diabetic nephropathy， diabetic cardiomyopathy， diabetic ophthalmopathy and diabetic peripheral neuropathy， in order to provide a theoretical basis for new drug development and clinical application of Chinese medicine polysaccharides in the intervention of diabetes and its complications.

In this paper, the extraction rate of crude polysaccharides and the yield of polysaccharides from Hippocampus served as test indicators. The comprehensive evaluation indicators were assigned by the R language combined with the entropy weight method. The Box-Behnken design-response surface methodology(BBD-RSM) and the deep neural network(DNN) were employed to screen the optimal parameters for the polysaccharide extraction from Hippocampus. These two modeling methods were compared and verified experimentally for the process optimization. This study provides a reference for the industrialization of effective component extraction from Chinese medicinals and achieves the effective combination of modern technology and traditional Chinese medicine.

Objective:To explore clinical manifestations, imaging features and prognosis of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) combined with lung injury, aiming to improve the understanding of the disease.Methods:Clinical data from 464 children with JIA who were hospitalized in Beijing Children′s Hospital from January 2016 to September 2019 were retrospectively analyzed.Their clinical manifestations, high resolution CT (HRCT) features, lung function and follow-up of children with lung injury were analyzed.Results:Among 464 children with JIA, 40 cases (8.62%) combined with lung injury.There were no significant differences in the age and sex between JIA children either combined with lung injury or not (all P>0.05). Among them, there were 125 cases of systemic-onset juvenile idiopathic arthritis (SoJIA) and 28 cases (22.4%) of JIA combined with lung injury, accounting for the highest proportion (70%, 28/40 cases) in JIA children combined with lung injury.Among 40 JIA children combined with lung injury, 22 cases (55.0%) had respiratory symptoms and 7 cases (17.5%) had obvious hypoxia.HRCT examination was performed in them, and the imaging findings included high-density strip or strip flocculation (75.0%, 30/40 cases), pleural thickening (45.0%, 18/40 cases), ground glass shadow (22.5%, 9/40 cases), nodular lesion (20.0%, 8/40 cases), vesicles or cystic emphysema (15.0%, 6/40 cases). Lung function was detected in 12/20 children with varying degrees of pulmonary function abnormalities, most of which were mixed ventilation dysfunction, and 2 cases still had pulmonary function abnormalities after treatment.During the follow-up for 3 months to 3.5 years, 4 cases (10%) JIA combined with lung injury died.A total of 29 children were re-examined by pulmonary CT in the follow-up visit, including 14 (48.28%) improved, 8 cases (27.58%) with no significant improvement, and 7 cases (24.14%) with repeated disease. Conclusions:JIA is a common rheumatic immune disease in children and all subtypes can be combined with lung injury, manifesting as interstitial lung disease mainly.The age and sex of JIA children combined with lung injury are not specific factors.The proportion of lung injury in SoJIA is significantly higher than that in other subtypes.SoJIA combined with macrophage activation syndrome can lead to respiratory failure, respiratory distress syndrome, and even death, which is one of the main factors leading to poor prognosis of JIA.HRCT is more sensitive to the diagnosis of lung injury.Lung function detection is a simple and easy method to evaluate and monitor lung injury.The prognosis of JIA children combined with lung injury is poor, which should be well concerned.
