Objective To investigate the difference of the disease progression in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) with different muscle mass levels and the influence of related factors on the disease progression. Methods A total of 308 newly diagnosed patients with COPD from February 2021 to February 2022 were selected for this study. All patients were below moderate COPD. The patients were divided into two groups according to their muscle mass levels: sarcopenia group (98 cases) and control group (210 cases). The diagnostic criteria for sarcopenia were based on sarcopenia diagnostic thresholds: RSMI <7.0kg/m2 in men and <5.4kg/m2 for women. All subjects were followed up for 4 months to observe the progress of the patient's condition. The correlation between the muscle mass level and pulmonary function level, as well as the results of 6-minute walking test and CAT score was evaluated, and the influence of muscle mass level on the patient's disease progress was analyzed. At the same time, the potential influence of related factors (body fat rate, vitamin D level, etc.) on the condition of patients with different muscle mass levels was discussed. SPSS 19.0 software was used to perform statistical analysis. Results Under the same treatment intervention, the baseline and follow-up lung function improvement levels of patients in the sarcopenia group were lower than those in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). At the same time, the baseline and follow-up 6-minute walk test results of the patients in the sarcopenia group were also worse than those of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Further correlation analysis was carried out between the patient's muscle mass level and the post-treatment pulmonary function indicators and 6MWD test level. The results showed that the muscle mass level was positively correlated with several pulmonary function indicators (FEV1, FEV1% predict) and 6MWD (both P<0.05). Considering the possible influence of other factors on the control and progress of the patient's condition, the present study used follow-up CAT score results to distinguish the prognosis of the patient's condition improvement, and used improvement and non-improvement as dependent variables to analyze the influence of various potential influencing factors. The results of regression model analysis showed that lower baseline muscle mass, women, lower body fat percentage, and lower vitamin D level were the main risk factors. Conclusion Under the same treatment condition, COPD patients with different muscle mass levels improve more slowly when complicated with sarcopenia and have poor prognosis. Women, lower body fat percentage and lower vitamin D level are potential risk factors for poor prognosis.

Objective To evaluate the development, hot spots and trends of the fields of neurogenic bladder.Methods The relevant articles of neurogenic bladder from January, 2000 to June, 2021 in CNKI and Web of Science were retrieved.The countries, authors, institutions, cited reference and keywords were extracted with CiteSpace to draw knowledge mapping. Results and Conclusion A total of 5 064 articles were enrolled. At present, the research on the field of neurogenic bladder is in a stable period of development, and this field has been widely concerned by scholars at home and abroad. The cooperation between domestic authors and institutions is not close enough compared with foreign countries, and domestic cooperation is more between medical schools and their respective affiliated hospitals. In the future, China can further strengthen cross-regional and cross-agency cooperation. Low-frequency electrical stimulation and sacral nerve regulation are seem to be research hotspots, and children39;s neurogenic bladder and robot-assisted technologies are also needed more attention.

嵌合抗原受体T(chimeric antigen receptor T, CAR-T)细胞是一种通过基因工程表达受体的T细胞,能够识别特定的抗 原,是目前最具潜力的靶向肿瘤治疗方法。然而,作为抗癌免疫系统中主要效应细胞之一的CD8+T细胞在肿瘤中发挥作用时, 通 常处于耗竭状态,而这种功能缺陷的CD8+T细胞是杀伤肿瘤的障碍。肿瘤微环境(tumor microenvironment,TME)中存在许多抑 制性因素,例如耗竭性T细胞表面高表达的抑制性受体、免疫抑制细胞群、抑制性因子、转录因素、代谢因素等都对T细胞的分化 及耗竭有重要影响。当然, CAR的结构和共刺激域也对CAR-T细胞整体功能发挥着重要作用。本文着重总结近年有关CD8+T 细胞耗竭的机制及改善策略的研究进展,为增强CAR-T细胞的抗肿瘤效应提供了潜在思路。
5.Association between elipsode zone integrity and visual acuity in diabetic macular edema
International Eye Science 2018;18(9):1703-1705
AIM: To investigate the correlation between elipsode zone(EZ)integrity and best corrected visual acuity(BCVA)of eyes with diabetic macular edema(DME), and to determine the prognostic factors of visual acuity.
METHODS: We studied 62 eyes of 39 patients with DME. Using spectral domain optical coherence tomography(SD-OCT), disrupted elipsode zone length were measured, and the eyes were categorized into three groups according to elipsode zone: 1)Group A: with a completely visible elipsode zone; 2)Group B: with a disrupted elipsode zone and the length of disruption within 200μm;(3)Group C: with a disrupted elipsode zone and the length of disruption longer than 200μm. We also evaluated the presence or absence of hard exudates(HE), serous retinal detachment(SRD), central macular thickness(CMT)using SD-OCT. Pearson analysis testing was performed over the BCVA and the elipsode zone integrity, CMT, existence of SRD and HE, age, sex, duration of diabetes, HbA1c, duration of DME, stage of diabetic retinopathy, and DME type.
RESULTS: Before treatment, BCVA(LogMAR)in the Group A(0.44±0.18)or Group B(0.64±0.16)was significantly better than that in the Group C(0.74±0.21)(P<0.001). CMT had no difference between Group A(403.40±90.32μm), Group B(408.44±95.98μm)or Group C(421.29± 98.32μm, P=0.805). Analysis showed that elipsode zone integrity had close correlation coefficient with BCVA(r=-0.673, P<0.001), CMT had weak correlation with BCVA(r=-0.344, P<0.001). Other factors SRD, HE and duration of DME did not correlate with BCVA.
CONCLUSION: The integrity of elipsode zone are closely associated with BCVA in DME. CMT are weakly associated with BCVA in DME.
