Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of oral pyrotinib in treatment of patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive metastatic breast cancer in the real world, and to explore its influencing factors.Methods:The clinical data of 148 patients with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer treated with oral pyrrolitinib in Shanxi Cancer Hospital from September 2018 to December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. The efficacy was evaluated according to the efficacy evaluation criteria for solid tumors, version 1.1, and the adverse effects were graded according to the National Cancer Institute common terminology criteria of adverse effects, version 4.0. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to draw progression-free survival (PFS) curves, the patients were stratified by different clinical characteristics, and log-rank test was used for univariate analysis of PFS; the multivariate analysis of PFS was performed using Cox proportional hazards model.Results:The objective response rate (ORR) of 148 patients was 71.6% (106/148), and the disease control rate (DCR) was 89.2% (132/148). The overall median PFS time was 11.0 months (95% CI 10.1-11.9 months), and the median PFS of 19 patients with brain metastases was 10.0 months (95% CI 7.4-12.6 months). The differences in PFS between patients stratified by disease-free interval (DFI), the number of metastatic site and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) score were statistically significant (all P < 0.05), but the difference in PFS between patients with negative and positive hormone receptor was not statistically significant ( P > 0.05). Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that DFI (>1 year vs. ≤1 year: HR = 5.254, 95% CI 0.728-37.933, P = 0.046) and ECOG score (≥2 points vs. 0-1 point: HR = 2.454, 95% CI 1.261-4.788, P = 0.008) were independent influencing factors of PFS. The most common ≥grade 3 adverse effects were diarrhea (31 cases, 20.9%) and hand-foot syndrome (38 cases, 25.8%). Conclusions:The pyrotinib has definite efficacy and good safety in the treatment of HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer in the real world, especially for patients with DFI > 1 year and ECOG score 0-1 point, the efficacy and safety are particularly good.

Objective:To recognize the overall situation of the core competency of medical professional postgraduate, analyze the advantages and disadvantages of the training process, and provide basis for better optimization and revision of training objectives and training plans.Methods:An anonymous online questionnaire was conducted among 264 postgraduates majoring in clinical medicine to recognize the cognition and self-evaluation of core competence, and analyze the differences in scores of different grades and types. SPSS 23.0 was used for independent-samples t test; and one-way analysis of variance to analyze categorical variables. Results:The doctoral degree students' core competency results were higher than those of master degree students, and those of the senior students were higher than junior students ( P<0.05). "System Improvement Ability" [master degree students (2.94±1.07), first-year students (2.82±0.97)], "Patient Management" [(first-year students (2.77±1.22)], "Academic Research" [first-year students (2.90±1.03)], and 4 other indicators were the weakness of students (all less than 3 scores). Conclusion:The students have a good sense of professional identity for doctors. The different depth of the clinical practice education is the possible cause which brings about the differences among students with different degrees. We should focus on strengthening the training for the "shortcomings" in the core competence of students.

Objective:To assess the safety and efficacy of riboflavin/ultraviolet-A-induced accelerated epithelium-off corneal collagen cross-linking (CXL) for teenagers with keratoconus.Methods:In this case series study, 25 eyes of 18 patients with primary keratoconus who underwent riboflavin/ultraviolet-A-induced accelerated epithelium-off CXL in Zhengzhou Second People's Hospital from January 2017 to February 2018 were included, and the average age of patients was (14.4±1.3) years.The uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), spherical equivalent (SE), maximum keratometry reading (K max), thinnest corneal thickness (TCT), posterior corneal elevation (PCE) and endothelial cell density (ECD) were measured before and after CXL.The patients were followed up for one year.The complications and adverse reactions were recorded.The study adhered to the Declaration of Helsinki and was approved by an Ethics Committee of Zhengzhou Second People's Hospital (No.KY2017002). Written informed consent was obtained from each patient and their guardian prior to the surgery. Results:The mean UCVA (LogMAR) was 0.96±0.35 at baseline, which was significantly improved to 0.84±0.33 at 1 year postoperatively ( t=-5.765, P<0.01). The mean BCVA (LogMAR) was 0.45±0.22 preoperatively, which was significantly improved to 0.34±0.26 at 1 year postoperatively ( t=-4.843, P<0.01). The mean SE was (8.66±5.11)D at baseline, which was significantly higher than (8.07±5.21)D at 1 year postoperatively ( t=-3.253, P=0.003). The K max was reduced from (58.58±9.07)D preoperatively to (56.25±9.98)D at 1 year postoperatively, with significant difference between the two time points ( t=-4.357, P<0.01). The K max was reduced more than 1 D in 17 eyes (68%), was stable in 6 eyes(24%), and was increased more than 1 D in 2 eyes (8%). The TCT was reduced from (485.0±32.5)μm at baseline to (475.3±35.5)μm at 1 year postoperatively, with significant difference between the two time points ( t=-4.266, P<0.01). The differences of PCE and ECD between preoperative and postoperative 1 year were not statistically significant ( t=1.023, P=0.316; t=-1.424, P=0.167). There was one eye suffering peripheral sterile corneal infiltrate 2 days postoperatively, and favorable prognosis was achieved after the topical steroids application.No complication was encountered in other subjects. Conclusions:Riboflavin/ultraviolet-A-induced accelerated epithelium-off CXL is safe and effective in teenagers with keratoconus during the 1-year follow-up.The long-term effects need further observation.

OBJECTIVE: To prepare Adriamycin hydrochloride (DOX) magnetic thermosensitive liposome (MTSL), investigate its physicochemical properties, magnetic effect and photothermal effect, so as to provide reference for tumor chemo- therapy and photodynamic/photothermal therapy. METHODS: Using DOX as model drug, TiO2@Fe3O4 as photosensitizers and magnetic materials, DOX-TiO2@Fe3O4-MTSL was prepared with membrane dispersion method. The morphology and dispersibility were observed; particle size and Zeta potential were detected; encapsulation efficiency of the liposome were determined by centrifugal ultrafiltration and HPLC. Its paramagnetism property was also detected by magnetometer. Compared with DOX solution, in vitro release behavior of the liposome was investigated by dialysis method, and the release curves at different temperatures (at 37, 43 ℃) were compared. The photothermal conversion effect of the liposome and the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in human breast cancer MCF-7 cells were investigated by near infrared laser irradiation at 808 nm. RESULTS: Prepared DOX-TiO2@Fe3O4-MTSL was brown-black with good water dispersion, and was spherical in shape and uniform in size under electron microscopy. Average particle size was 250.6 nm; polydispersity index was 0.107; Zeta potential was (-7.76±3.41)mV; encapsulation efficiency was (92.3±3.2)%. Under the external magnetic field, the liposome could move in a directional direction and had obvious paramagnetism. Compared with DOX solution, the liposomes released slowly and showed obvious sustained- release characteristics. Compared with at 37 ℃, the drug release of liposome speeded up significantly at 43 ℃.With the increase of laser (808 nm) irradiation time, the temperature of the liposome kept rising, which had obvious photothermal conversion effect and could induce the increase of ROS in MCF-7 cells. CONCLUSIONS: DOX-TiO2@Fe3O4-MTSL is prepared succe- ssfully, which has uniform appearance, good physical and chemical properties. It has obvious paramagnetism sustained release effect and photothermal conversion efficiency, and can promote ROS production in MCF-7 cells under near infrared laser irradiation at 808 nm.
