Objective:To study the diagnostic value and correlation of contrast-enhanced ultrasound time-intensity curve in the main pathological features of cervical cancer.Methods:From August 2021 to August 2023, 100 patients with cervical cancer and 100 patients with benign cervical tumors examined in Dingzhou People’s Hospital were selected for study. Patients with benign cervical tumors were included in the control group, and patients with cervical cancer were included in the observation group.The two groups of patients were examined by PHILIPS EPIQ7 C color Doppler ultrasound diagnostic instrument and PHILIPS EPIQ5 color Doppler ultrasound diagnostic instrument to obtain the quantitative parameters of the time-intensity curve of the two groups. The bivariate Spearman correlation test was used to analyze the main pathological features of cervical cancer patients (lesion diameter, pathological type, vascular invasion, lymph node metastasis, differentiation degree, clinical stage) and the correlation between radiotherapy and chemotherapy and the acquisition of time-intensity curve. The receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was drawn to analyze the diagnostic value of the time-intensity curve.Results:The time to peak (TTP) value of the cervical cancer group was lower than that of the control group, and the peak intensity (PI) and maximum peak intensity ratio (PI/PIc) values were higher than those of the control group, the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). Compared with patients with non-squamous cell carcinoma, vascular invasion < 1/2, no lymph node metastasis, moderate to high differentiation, stage I-II, and after radiotherapy and chemotherapy, patients with squamous cell carcinoma, vascular invasion ≥ 1/2, lymph node metastasis, low differentiation, stage III-IV, and before radiotherapy and chemotherapy had lower TTP values, higher PI and PI/PIc values, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). Pathological type, vascular invasion, lymph node metastasis, differentiation degree and clinical stage were negatively correlated with TTP, and positively correlated with PI and PI/PIc ( P<0.05) .Chemoradiotherapy was positively correlated with TTP, and negatively correlated with PI and PI/PIc ( P<0.05). The sensitivity and specificity of combined detection of time intensity curve were higher than those of TTP, PI, PI/Ic, area under curve (AUCTC) and mean transit time (MTT), and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The AUC values of combined detection of TTP, PI, PI/PIc and time intensity curve were all > 0.85, and the diagnostic value was high. Conclusions:The time-intensity curve of contrast-enhanced ultrasound is closely related to the main pathological features of cervical cancer, such as pathological type, lymph node metastasis and staging. According to the changes, the effect of radiotherapy and chemotherapy can be judged, which can provide a good reference for the diagnosis and treatment of cervical cancer.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of humanized CD19-specific chimeric antigen receptor T cells (hCART19s) in treating children and young adults with relapsed/refractory acute lymphoblastic leukemia (R/R ALL) and to analyze relevant factors affecting its curative effect and prognosis.Methods:We conducted a single-center clinical trial involving 31 children and young adult patients with R/R B-ALL who were treated with humanized CD19-specific CAR-T cells (hCART19s) from May 2016 to September 2021.Results:Results showed that 27 (87.1%) patients achieved complete remission (CR) or CR with incomplete count recovery (CRi) one month after CAR-T cell infusion. During treatment, 20 (64.5%) patients developed grade 1-2 cytokine release syndrome (CRS) , and 4 (12.9%) developed grade 3 CRS. Additionally, two patients had grade 1 neurological events. During the follow-up with a median time of 19.3 months, the median event-free survival (EFS) was 15.7 months (95% CI 8.7-22.5) , and the median overall survival (OS) was 32.2 months (95% CI 10.6-53.9) . EFS and OS rates were higher in patients who have undergone hemopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) than in those without [EFS: (75.0 ± 12.5) % vs (21.1 ± 9.4) %, P=0.012; OS: (75.0 ± 12.5) % vs (24.6 ± 10.2) %, P=0.035]. The EFS and OS rates were significantly lower in patients with >3 treatment lines than in those with <3 treatment lines [EFS: 0 vs (49.5±10.4) %, P<0.001; OS: 0 vs (52.0±10.8) %, P<0.001]. To the cutoff date, 12 patients presented with CD19 + relapse, and 1 had CD19 - relapse. Conclusion:hCART19s are effective in treating pediatric and young adult R/R ALL patients, with a low incidence of severe adverse events and reversible symptoms. Following HSCT, the number of treatment lines can affect the long-term efficacy and prognosis of pediatric and young adult R/R ALL patients.

Objective:To analyze the military training injuries conditions and rehabilitation characteristics in Marine Corps, so as to provide reference for the military training injuries rehabilitation of special operations forces in the future.Methods:The medical records of 157 Marines with military training injuries admitted to a regional military rehabilitation center from June 2019 to December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. The characteristics of military training injuries and therapeutic effects of rehabilitation were analyzed by referencing Diagnostic Criteria, Principles of Prophylaxis and Treatment of Military Training Injuries. Results:Among all the military training injuries, fracture has the highest incidence rate, followed by disc herniation, meniscus injury, ligament injury, and joint dislocation/sprain. There was no obvious correlation between the incidence of training injuries and the patient’s type of job; but there were some specific distribution patterns of diseases at different ages. The rehabilitation efficacy was positively correlated with the intervention time of rehabilitation. Psychological intervention could effectively improve the mental health of the officers and soldiers.Conclusion:In order to effectively promote the rehabilitation efficacy of military training injuries, reduce the non-combat attrition caused by military training injuries, and ensure the combat effectiveness of the Marine Corps, the following countermeasures are suggested: fully understanding the characteristics of training and the needs of rehabilitation of the Marines, popularizing the know-how to prevent military training injuries, standardizing the process of rehabilitation intervention, adopting individualized diagnosis and treatment, and implementing comprehensive psychological intervention.

Objective:To investigate the clinicopathologic features, treatment, and prognosis in patients with Castleman disease (CD) .Methods:We retrospectively analyzed the clinicopathologic data of 59 patients for whom a diagnosis of Castleman disease was confirmed using pathological examination from October 2011 to October 2019 at the Henan Cancer Hospital. The patients were divided into the following two groups as per the following clinical classifications: unicentric CD (UCD, n=47) and multicentric CD (MCD, n=12) . Data on clinical manifestations, laboratory findings, treatment, and prognosis were analyzed. Results:There was no significant difference in the median age and the ratio of male to female between the UCD and MCD. UCD was characterized by asymptomatic enlargement of the single lymph node. The main pathological type was hyaline vascular histopathology (83.0%) . Of these, 44 patients chose surgical resection, and their prognosis was good. Treatment. MCD was characterized by multiple enlarged superficial and/or deep lymph nodes with B symptoms, weakness, and hepatosplenomegaly. Anemia, hypoproteinemia, and globulin level were increased on laboratory examinations. Plasmacyte histopathology was the main pathological type and was present in about 50.0% of the subjects. Only chemotherapy was performed for these MCD patients, followed by chemotherapy or chemotherapy followed by radiotherapy, and the efficient was 58.3% (7/12) .Conclusions:UCD, characterized by asymptomatic enlargement of the single lymph node, shows good postoperative prognosis. MCD has relatively complex clinical manifestations and poor prognosis, and optimal treatment is yet to be established.

Objective:To compare the clinical characteristics and outcomes of patients newly diagnosed with multiple myeloma(NDMM)with bone-related extramedullary(EM-B)disease and those with extraosseous extramedullary(EM-E)disease and to address their prognostic factors.Methods:The clinical features, outcomes, and prognostic factors were retrospectively analyzed in 80 patients with NDMM with extramedullary disease.Results:Among 80 patients with extramedullary disease, 51 had EM-B and 29 EM-E. The level of β 2-microglobulin(5.82 mg/L vs 3.99 mg/L, P=0.030), lactate dehydrogenase(256 U/L vs 184 U/L, P=0.003), 1q21 amplification rate(78.6% vs 53.1%, P=0.035), and Ki-67 proliferation index(50% vs 25%, P=0.002)in the EME group were significantly higher than those in the EM-B group. The posieive rate of CD56(14.3% vs 66.7%)and overall response rate(60% vs 82.3%)in EM-E group were significantly lower than those in EM-B group. The median overall survival (OS)of patients with EM-E and EM-B was 14.5 and 49.5 months, and the median progression-free survival(PFS)of the two groups was 9.0 and 18.0 months. Patients with EM-E had a significantly shorter OS( P=0.035)and PFS( P < 0.001)than those of patients with EM-B, whereas the PFS did not significantly differ( P=0.263)when patients accepted proteasome inhibitor(PI)-based regimens for induction therapy. Multivariate analysis with Cox model showed the best response that did not achieve partial response(PR)was an independent poor prognostic factor for both OS and PFS in NDMM patients with EM-E( P=0.031, P=0.005), ISS-III, and the best response that did not achieve PR were independent prognostic factors for the shorter OS in patients with NDMM with EM-B( P=0.009, P=0.044). Conclusions:The clinical characteristics and outcomes of patients with NDMM with EM-E are different from patients with EM-B. Outcomes of patients with EM-E is significantly poor. PI induction therapy improved the PFS of patients with EM-E.

Objective:Endoplasmic reticulum stress(ERS)was used as the research emphasis to further investigate the mechanisms of apoptosis of FLT3-ITD-mutated leukemia cells and decreased expression of FLT3-ITD mutated protein induced by all-trans retinoic acid(ATRA).Methods:FLT3-ITD-mutated leukemia cell lines(MV4-11 and MOLM13)were treated with ATRA. Flow cytometry was conducted to assess cell apoptosis. Real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR(RT-qPCR)and Western blot were used to detect the expression of ERS-related and autophagy-related genes and protein, respectively.Results:A low-dose ATRA further increased FLT3-ITD cells and ERS levels. ATRA acted on the ERS-related PERK/eif2ɑ signaling pathway and continued to increase the ERS of FLT3-ITD cells, resulting in an upregulation of apoptotic gene CHOP expression. After the treatment with ATRA, FLT3-ITD protein in FLT3-ITD cells was decreased. Of the two main ERS-related protein degradation pathways, ER-associated degradation(ERAD)and ER-activated autophagy(ERAA), the expression of ERAD-related protein ATF6 in FLT3-ITD cells was not significantly changed on ATRA, whereas the expression of ERAA-related proteins Atg7 and Atg5 were significantly increased.Conclusions:ATRA further raises the ERS level of FLT3-ITD cells continuously by activating the ERS-related PERK/eif2ɑ signal pathway and induces FLT3-ITD protein autophagy degradation through ERAA pathway, which induces apoptosis of FLT3-ITD-mutated leukemia cells. These results provide preliminary evidence on the use of ATRA in the treatment of refractory leukemia with FLT3-ITD.
