Objective To investigate the current situation of off-label use of immune checkpoint inhibitors(ICIs)in China and the cognition of medical staff.Methods From August 31 to September 9,2022,a nationwide survey questionnaire was sent to medical staff in the form of electronic questionnaire.The questionnaire included 13 questions,covering four dimensions:Drug allocation,current situation of medication beyond the instructions,cognition of medication beyond the instructions and current situation of medication beyond the instructions.Results A total of 745 questionnaires were collected.75.70％of respondents reported off-label use of ICIs in their hospitals,with the most common type being off-label indications.The primary reasons for such practices included support from authoritative domestic and international guidelines,clinical research data validation,and approved indications in foreign regulatory documents.85.37％of respondents believed off-label use could offer new hope for patients,while 68.86％considered it unlikely to increase adverse reactions.44.97％of respondents' hospitals had not established off-label use registration systems for ICIs.88.86％of respondents emphasized the need for stricter regulations governing off-label use of immunotherapeutic agents.Conclusion Off-label use of ICIs is common,and there is a lack of unified guidance in clinical practice.It is urgent to form norms and consensus on the management of off-label use of ICIs.

Objective To investigatethe relationship between gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) symptoms and clinicopathological characteristics, p53 expression, and survival of Chinese patients with esophageal adenocarcinoma. Methods A total of 3882 patients with esophageal adenocarcinoma, 970 matched patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, and 970 matched patients with gastric cardia adenocarcinoma were included to compare the incidence of GERD symptoms. Patients with esophageal adenocarcinoma were divided into two groups according to the presence and absence of GERD symptoms. The differences in clinicopathological characteristics and p53 expression between the two groups were compared by chi-square test, and the differences in survival between the two groups were compared by landmark analysis. Results The incidence of GERD symptoms increased successively in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, esophageal adenocarcinoma, and gastric cardia adenocarcinoma. In patients with esophageal adenocarcinoma, the proportions of male, less than 65 years old, lower thoracic tumors, tumors without squamous cell carcinoma, poorly differentiation, early tumors (stage 0-I), and p53-positive tumors in the group with GERD symptoms were higher than those in the group without GERD symptoms; moreover, the long-term survival (≥15 years) was better. Conclusion GERD symptom is an important clinical sign of esophageal adenocarcinoma. It is closely related to specific clinicopathological characteristics, p53 overexpression, and good long-term prognosis.

A method was developed for determination of dilauryl thiodipropionate(DLTDP)in fried foods by coupling solid-phase extraction(SPE)pretreatment with reverse-phase liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry(RPLC-MS/MS)detection.Samples were extracted with n-hexane as the solvent,purified using a neutral alumina SPE cartridge,and finally analyzed by RPLC-MS/MS.Quantitative analysis was performed using matrix-matched calibration curves combined with an external standard method under optimal experimental conditions.The results showed that DLTDP exhibited good linearity in the range of 2.0-50.0 μg/L,with a correlation coefficient(R2)≥0.999.The limit of detection(LOD)and the limit of quantification(LOQ)of the method were 0.15 mg/kg and 0.5 mg/kg,respectively.The mean recoveries at three fortification levels(0.5,1.0,and 200 mg/kg)in different samples ranged from 84.8%to 96.8%,with the relative standard deviations(RSDs)all less than 8.0%.The developed method was highly sensitive,accurate and reliable,and easy to operate,making it well suited for the routine quantitative analysis of DLTDP in fried foods.

BACKGROUND:Inflammation,oxidative stress and bacterial infection are the main causes of delayed wound healing in diabetes.In recent years,various inorganic nanomaterials have been widely used in the treatment of skin wound healing due to their antibacterial activities,but their effects on anti-oxidation and anti-inflammation are limited. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of Prussian blue nanoparticles on the wound repair of diabetes in terms of antioxidant,anti-inflammatory and photothermal antibacterial activities. METHODS:Prussian blue nanoparticles were prepared and characterized.(1)In vitro:The biocompatibility of Prussian blue nanoparticles with different concentrations was detected by MTT assay.The cytoprotective effect of Prussian blue nanoparticles and the intracellular reactive oxidative species level were examined under the condition of hydrogen peroxide.The ability of Prussian blue nanoparticles to decompose hydrogen peroxide and superoxide anion radicals was tested;the effect of Prussian blue nanoparticles on lipopolysaccharide-induced macrophage inflammation was investigated.The photothermal antibacterial activity of Prussian blue nanoparticles was detected by the plate colony counting method.(2)In vivo:ICR mice were intraperitoneally injected with streptozotocin to establish a diabetes mouse model.After the model was successfully established,a 6 mm wound was created on the back with a hole punch.There were the control group(no treatment),the Prussian blue group and the Prussian blue with light group.The wound healing and histomorphological changes were observed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)In vitro:Prussian blue nanoparticles in 25-200 μg/mL were non-toxic to cells.Prussian blue nanoparticles had the extremely strong antioxidant capacity and mitigated the intracellular reactive oxidative species at a high oxidative stress environment,resulting in a pronounced cytoprotective effect.The Prussian blue nanoparticles not only exhibited hydrogen peroxide degradation activity but also showed strong superoxide scavenging ability.Prussian blue nanoparticles also displayed significant anti-inflammatory activity and extremely strong antibacterial ability after light irradiation.(2)In vivo:After 14 days,the wound sizes of the Prussian blue group and Prussian blue with light group were significantly reduced,and the healing speed of Prussian blue with light group was the fastest.Hematoxylin-eosin and Masson staining showed a lot of granulation tissue formation and collagen deposition in the Prussian blue group and the Prussian blue with light group,of which the Prussian blue with light group was the most.Immunofluorescence staining displayed that,compared with the control group,the expressions of α-SMA and CD31 were increased significantly in Prussian blue group and Prussian blue with light group(P<0.05),but F4/80 expression was decreased significantly in Prussian blue group and Prussian blue with light group(P<0.05),indicating more obvious improvement in the Prussian blue with light group.(3)These results showed that Prussian blue nanoparticles could promote the skin wound healing of the diabetes mouse model by exerting anti-inflammatory,antioxidant and antibacterial effects.

CD200 and its receptor CD200R constitute an endogenous inhibitory signal. The binding of CD200 and CD200R can regulate the immune response to pathogenic stimuli, which has received much attention in recent years. It has been found that CD200-CD200R is involved in the regulation of many kinds of pathological inflammation, including autoimmune diseases, cardiac cerebrovascular disease, infection and tumor. This paper reviews the protein structure, distribution, expression, biological function of CD200-CD200R and the correlation with diseases, and analyses the current status and development ideas of CD200-CD200R as drug targets. It aims to provide theoretical support for new drug research and development based on this target.

Objective To study the effect of curcumin on wound healing in diabetic mice.Methods The effect of curcumin on fibroblast activity was examined by the MTT assay,and the ROS detection kit was used to detect the effect of curcumin on the hydrogen peroxide-induced scavenging effect of reactive oxygen species(ROS)in fibroblasts.Q-PCR was used to detect the effects of curcumin on the mRNA expression of inflammatory factors CD86,CD206,IL-6 and ARG1 in lipopolysaccharide-induced RAW 264.7macrophage.The wound model of diabetes was established by intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin.Hematoxylin-eosin(HE)and Masson staining were used to evaluate wound healing and histomorphological changes,and immunofluorescence staining was used to determine skin tissue α-smooth muscle actin,CD86 and CD206 expression.Results Curcumin had no significant effect on fibroblast activity at concentrations less than 20 mol·L-1;curcumin scavenged hydrogen peroxide-induced intracellular ROS in fibroblasts;curcumin decreased the mRNA expression of CD86 and IL-6 while increasing CD206 and ARG1 in lipopolysaccharide-induced RAW 264.7 macrophages.After in vivo administration,compared with the control group,wound healing was significantly faster in the curcumin(15,30 mg·mL-1)group after 7 d and 14 d of wound perforation(P＜0.01).Hematoxylin-eosin(HE)and Masson staining results confirmed a significant increase in granulation tissue and a significant increase in collagen deposition in the curcumin(15,30 mg·mL-1)group.Immunofluorescence assay showed significantly higher expression of CD206(P＜0.01)and significantly reduced expression of CD86(P＜0.01)in the skin wounds of curcumin(15,30 mg·mL-1)for 14 d.In addition,the expression of α-SMA in the wound of the high-dose curcumin(30 mg·mL-1)group was significantly higher than that of the low-dose curcumin group(P＜0.01).Conclusion Curcumin accelerates diabetic wound healing by promoting granulation tissue proliferation and collagen deposition in refractory diabetic wounds in mice through its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects.

Objective: To understand the vaccination of varicella attenuated live vaccine (VarV) among students in collective institutions, to provide a basis for analying the protective effect of vaccination. Methods: All collective institutions with chickenpox epidemic and post exposure vaccination in Jing an District from 2017 to 2019 were investigated. All students( n =6 473) in the affected class were included. Vaccination status and the incidence information of disease were collected to analyze vaccine effectiveness (VE). Results: The proportion of study subjects without an immunization history decreased year by year, and 7.5% in 2017, 7.2 % in 2018, and 4.9% in 2019. The proportion with a history of one dose prior to exposure in cases was 90.0%, it was lower than 93.5% in the non cases ( χ 2=6.53, P <0.05). The proportion with one dose as post exposure prophylaxis in cases was 8.3%, it was much lower than 44.1% in the non cases ( χ 2=179.06, P <0.01). The proportion with one dose as post exposure prophylaxis in secondary cases was 28.6%, much lower than 44.1% in the non cases ( χ 2=9.44, P <0.01).Unvaccinated ones and the second dose as post exposure prophylaxis ones in cases had the highest rate of varicella development (11.0%), a history of one dose prior to exposure and one dose as post exposure prophylaxis in cases had the lowest varicella rate (1.0%).There was a clear protective effect within two years after one dose of VarV inoculation, VE was 63.1%(95% CI =11.0%-84.7%). Conclusion The vaccine effectiveness of one dose VarV was limited. Post exposure prophylaxis as early as possible was highly effective in decreasing secondary attack rate.
