Cancer cell membrane (CCM) derived nanotechnology functionalizes nanoparticles (NPs) to recognize homologous cells, exhibiting translational potential in accurate tumor therapy. However, these nanoplatforms are majorly generated from fixed cell lines and are typically evaluated in cell line-derived subcutaneous-xenografts (CDX), ignoring the tumor heterogeneity and differentiation from inter- and intra- individuals and microenvironments between heterotopic- and orthotopic-tumors, limiting the therapeutic efficiency of such nanoplatforms. Herein, various biomimetic nanoplatforms (CCM-modified gold@Carbon, i.e., Au@C-CCM) were fabricated by coating CCMs of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) cell lines and patient-derived cells on the surface of Au@C NP. The generated Au@C-CCMs were evaluated on corresponding CDX, tongue orthotopic xenograft (TOX), immune-competent primary and distant tumor models, and patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models. The Au@C-CCM generates a photothermal conversion efficiency up to 44.2% for primary HNSCC therapy and induced immunotherapy to inhibit metastasis via photothermal therapy-induced immunogenic cell death. The homologous CCM endowed the nanoplatforms with optimal targeting properties for the highest therapeutic efficiency, far above those with mismatched CCMs, resulting in distinct tumor ablation and tumor growth inhibition in all four models. This work reinforces the feasibility of biomimetic NPs combining modular designed CMs and functional cores for customized treatment of HNSCC, can be further extended to other malignant tumors therapy.

Eyelid tumor is a serious eye disease that leads to vision loss or even blindness.The similarity between benign and malignant characteristics makes it difficult for ophthalmologists lacking clinical experience to distinguish between them.To address the problem,a method(ResNet101_CBAM)based on two-stage target localization using fully convolutional one-stage object detection(FCOS)and residual network incorporating a dual attention mechanism is proposed to realize the automatic diagnosis of benign and malignant eyelid tumors.FCOS is used to automatically localize the overall contour of the orbit,removing the background and surrounding noise,and then finely localize the tumor lesion inside the orbit.The obtained lesion region is input into ResNet101_CBAM for the automatic diagnosis of benign and malignant eyelid tumors.The experimental results show that the average precision of the target localization algorithm for tumor lesion is 0.821,and that compared with ResNet101,ResNet101_CBAM improves the sensitivity and accuracy in eyelid tumor classification by 4.7%and 3.0%,respectively,indicating that the proposed model has superior performances in the automatic diagnosis of benign and malignant eyelid tumors.

Objective:To understand the current situation of postpartum maternal perceived spouse support for breastfeeding, and explore its mediating role in the spouse support for breastfeeding and maternal breastfeeding self-efficacy.Methods:From October 2021 to October 2022, convenience sampling was used to select 602 postpartum women (42 days postpartum) and their spouses who underwent follow-up visits at Obstetric Clinics in four ClassⅢ hospitals in Shanghai as the research subject. A questionnaire survey was conducted using the General Information Questionnaire, Partner Breastfeeding Influence Scale (PBIS) , and Breastfeeding Self-efficacy Scale Short Form (BSES-SF) .Results:The PBIS score of 602 postpartum women was (121.07±25.41) , and the PBIS score of 602 maternal spouses was (134.37±18.94) . Pearson correlation analysis results showed that maternal perceived spouse support has a positive correlation with spouse support ( P<0.01) , and a positive correlation with maternal self-efficacy in breastfeeding ( P<0.01) ; spouse support was positively correlated with maternal self-efficacy in breastfeeding ( P<0.01) . The mediating effect analysis that maternal perceived spouse support played a complete mediating role between spouse support and maternal self-efficacy in breastfeeding. Conclusions:There are both connections and differences between maternal perceived spouse support and spouse support, and the positive promoting effect of spouse support on maternal self-efficacy in breastfeeding can be completely mediated by maternal perception. Medical and nursing staff should pay attention to the assessment of maternal perceived spouse support and guide spouse breastfeeding support behavior based on maternal needs and experiences of spouse support, so as to improve breastfeeding outcomes.

INTRODUCTION:
Drug allergies are often self-reported but of unknown accuracy. We carried out a prospective study to examine the utility and safety of formal allergology evaluation, and to identify factors associated with accurate drug allergy labels.
METHOD:
All patients who underwent drug allergy evaluation in our clinic during the study period were recruited. Baseline demographics, characteristics of index hypersensitivity reaction and outcomes of evaluation were recorded.
RESULTS:
A total of 331 patients from March 2019 to June 2021 completed drug allergy evaluation to index drugs of concern. There were 123 (37%) male patients, and the mean age was 49 years (standard deviation 17). There were 170 beta-lactam antibiotics, 53 peri-operative drugs, 43 others, 38 non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and 27 non-beta-lactam antibiotic evaluations. Index reaction occurred within 5 years in 165 (50%) patients, with latency of less than 4 hours in 125 (38%) patients. The most common index reactions were rash, angioedema and urticaria. There were 57 (17%) evaluations stratified as low risk, 222 (67%) moderate risk, and 52 (16%) high risk based on multidisciplinary consensus. Allergy label was found to be false (negative drug evaluation) in 248 (75%) patients, while 16/237 (7%) skin tests, 44/331 (13%) in-clinic graded challenge, and 23/134 (17%) home prolonged challenges were positive (true drug allergy). The most common evaluation reactions were rash and urticaria. No cases of anaphylaxis were elicited.
CONCLUSION
Seventy-five percent of drug allergy labels are inaccurate. Risk-stratified, protocolised allergy evaluation is safe. Prolonged drug challenge increases the sensitivity of drug allergy evaluation and should therefore be performed when indicated.

OBJECTIVE:
To assess the value of next-generation sequencing-based copy number variation sequencing (CNV-seq) for the detection of copy number variations (CNVs) in prenatal diagnosis.
METHODS:
The results of single nucleotide polymorphism array (SNP-array) for prenatal diagnosis from May 2018 to December 2020 were reviewed. Selected cases of CNVs of clinical significance or low-percentage mosaic aneuploidies were included. Preserved DNA samples of amniotic fluid DNA were detected by CNV-seq. The results of CNV-seq and CMA were analyzed.
RESULTS:
A total of 16 488 data of SNP-array were re-analyzed, and 343 DNA samples were selected for the CNV-seq assay. All samples were successfully analyzed. Compared with the SNP-array, the proportion of full concordance, partial concordance and missed detection was 91.5% (314/343), 1.2% (4/343) and 7.3% (25/343), respectively. The non-detection zones of CNV-seq were confirmed, which have encompassed the SHOX gene and AZFc region.
CONCLUSION
With a high accuracy and wide genome-wide coverage, CNV-seq is worthy for a wide application in prenatal diagnosis, though the limitation of testing should be taken into consideration, and the appropriate prenatal diagnosis method should be selected for different populations to reduce the occurrence of birth defects.
