Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics and influencing factors of thyroid function abnormality (TFA) in patients with malignant tumors receiving programmed death-1 (PD-1) inhibitor therapy, and its correlation with PD-1 inhibitors. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data and biochemical indicators of 669 patients with malignant tumors who received PD-1 inhibitor therapy. Of these, 561 patients maintained normal thyroid function (normal group), while 108 developed TFA (TFA group). Baseline characteristics, PD-1 inhibitor type, tumor type, and other indice were compared between the two groups. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to identify related factors for TFA development. Additionally, the relationship between PD-1 inhibitors and TFA types was further analyzed within the TFA group. Results The rates of patients treated with pembrolizumab and with respiratory tumors were significantly higher in TFA group than those in the normal group (P＜0.01). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that treatment with pembrolizumab and with respiratory tumor increased 5.350 and 1.514 times than tislelizumab and digestive tumor for risk of TFA development, respectively (P＜0.01). Within the TFA group, hypothyroidism was the predominant type (75, 69.4%); treatment with pembrolizumab increased 2.999 times than tislelizumab for development risk of hyperthyroidism (P＝0.042). Conclusions Among patients with malignant tumors treated with PD-1 inhibitors, pembrolizumab is more frequently associated with TFA, and patients with respiratory tumors were at a higher risk of developing TFA. Clinicians should closely monitor thyroid function in patients with respiratory tumors treated with pembrolizumab.

Objective:To more accurately evaluate the function of the otolith organ and its conduction pathway of pilots by collecting the vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (VEMPs) corrected by electromyogram (EMG) in healthy military pilots and comparing bilateral amplitude, amplitude asymmetry ratio and other relevant parameters with and without EMG rectification.Methods:One hundred (200 ears) healthy male active duty military pilots were selected as study subjects, with an average age of (26.86±6.54) years old. The cervical vestibular-evoked myogenic potential (cVEMP) and ocular vestibular-evoked myogenic potential (oVEMP) induced by air conduction acoustic stimulation were performed to the subjects in sitting position. Sound was delivered through inserted earphones, with the stimulus being tone burst at 97 dB nHL. The P1 latency, N1 latency, P1-N1 wave interval latency, and the P1-N1 amplitude and amplitude asymmetry ratio of VEMPs were recorded before and after the correction of EMG and those were compared and analyzed.Results:The evoked rate of VEMPs was 100%. The latency of P1 and N1, P1-N1 interval of cVEMP in these pilots were (15.58±1.29), (26.12±1.91), and (10.54±1.49) ms. The latency of N1 and P1, P1-N1 interval of oVEMP in these pilots were (11.96±0.92), (16.92±1.06), and (4.96±0.75) ms. The difference of VEMPs amplitude before and after EMG correction was statistically significant ( Z=-17.30, -17.30, both P<0.001). The difference of amplitude asymmetry ratio of cVEMP before and after correction was statistically significant ( Z=-2.91, P=0.004), but the difference of amplitude asymmetry ratio of oVEMP before and after correction was not statistically significant ( P>0.05). Conclusions:This research sets up the normal range of VEMPs corrected by EMG in military pilots and provides a more accurate reference for medical selection of flying cadets and functional evaluation of the otolith organ and its conduction pathway.

【Objective】 To study the expression levels of suppressor of cytokine signaling 1 (SOCS1) and its clinical significance in hepatitis B virus (HBV)-related liver diseases. 【Methods】 For this study we enrolled 25 patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB), hepatitis B cirrhosis, or HBV-associated chronic acute liver failure (HBV-ACLF), and 25 healthy controls. The expression levels of SOCS1 mRNA in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were determined using the RT-PCR method. The levels of SOCS1 and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in the plasma of patients with chronic liver diseases and healthy controls were measured using the ELISA method. The relative expression levels of SOCS1, SOCS1 mRNA, and other laboratory test indicators such as HBV-DNA, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), prothrombin activity (PTA) and total bilirubin (TBil) were compared among the groups. Additionally, the correlation between the expression levels of SOCS1 mRNA and the aforementioned laboratory indicators was assessed. 【Results】 The expression levels of SOCS1 mRNA and serum SOCS1 were highest in the HBV-ACLF group, followed by the cirrhosis group, and lowest in the healthy control group, with statistically significant differences (F=109.65, P<0.001). The relative expression of SOCS1 mRNA was positively correlated with TBil (r=0.89, P<0.001), ALT (r=0.89, P<0.001), AST (r=0.84, P<0.001) and IL-6 (r=0.93, P<0.001), but negatively correlated with PTA (r=-0.89, P<0.001) and was not significantly correlated with HBV-DNA (P=0.28). 【Conclusion】 The expression levels of SOCS1 in patients with HBV-related chronic liver diseases can reflect the severity of the disease and show a significant correlation with indicators used to assess the severity of liver diseases.

OBJECTIVE: To compare the effects of ~(56)Fe~(17+),~(12)C~(6+)ion beams and~(60)Co γ rays on chromosome aberration in human lymphoblastoid cells. METHODS: The human lymphoblastoid cells were divided into 0. 1,0. 3,0. 5,0. 7,1. 0,2. 0 Gy irradiated groups and 0. 0 Gy control group. They were separately exposed to ~(56)Fe~(17+)ion beams( linear energy transfer was 400. 0 ke V/μm),~(12)C~(6+)ion beams( linear energy transfer was 26. 0 ke V/μm) and~(60)C γ rays. Chromosome specimens were harvested 48 hours after irradiation. The effects of different radiation on dicentric plus centric ring( “d + r”) aberration rate and chromosome aberration in human lymphoblastoid cells were detected by light microscope with artificial counting. RESULTS: The “d + r”aberration rates induced by 0. 3-2. 0 Gy ~(12)C~(6+)ion beams were significantly higher than those of ~(56)Fe~(17+)ion beams and~(60)Co γ rays at the same dose( P < 0. 017). Chromosome aberration cell rates of 0. 1-2. 0 Gy ~(12)C~(6+)ion beams were significantly higher than those of ~(56)Fe~(17+)ion beams and~(60)C γ rays at the same dose( P < 0. 017). At the dose range of 0. 0-2. 0 Gy,chromosome aberration effects of three kinds of radiations were gradually increased( P < 0. 01). The relative biological effectiveness of ~(56)Fe~(17+)ion beams was lower than that of ~(12)C~(6+)ion beams.CONCLUSION: The chromosome aberration induced by ~(12)C~(6+)ion beams was more serious than that of~(60)Co γ rays and ~(56)Fe~(17+)ion beams.

Objective To identify and assess whether circumferential electrocautery is useful to improve outcomes after primary total knee replacement.Methods We searched MEDLINE,EMBASE,PubMed,SpringerLink,Web of Knowledge,OVID CINAHL,OVID EBM and Google Scholar,and included articles published through January 2014.This study used the methods of meta-analysis to assess whether circumferential electrocautery could improve anterior knee pain and knee function after total knee replacement,and identified the function of circumferential electrocautery in total knee replacement.Results A total of eight articles met the inclusion criteria.Among the 1 048 cases included in the analysis,526 cases had patellar denervation,and 522 cases were in the control group.The meta-analysis revealed no significant difference in the incidence of anterior knee pain (P =0.18) and visual analogue scale (VAS) (P =0.23) between two groups.However,patellar score (P =0.01),Western Ontario and McMaster Universities osteoarthritis index (WOMAC) score (P ＜ 0.01),and range of motion (ROM) (P ＜ 0.01) indicated that circumpatellar electrocautery improved clinical outcomes compared to non-electrocautery groups.Conclusions The results indicated that circumferential electrocautery of the patellar did not significantly improve anterior knee pain relative to non-electrocautery techniques.However,circumferential electrocautery significantly improved patients' knee function after surgery.Therefore,circumferential electrocautery might be beneficial to the outcome of primary total knee replacement surgery without patella replacement.

Objective To explore the effects of accumulated 60CD,γ-ray irradiation on small molecular metabolites in rats urine.Methods Ten healthy male SD rats were irradiated by 60Co γ-rays in 5 days and the accumulated doses were 0,0.2,0.4,0.6,0.8,1.0 Gy,respectively.The metabolites in urine of different groups were measured with 1 H-NMR combined with principal components analysis (PCA) and partial least square discriminate analysis (PLS-DA). Results The metabolites in rat urine were obviously changed after irradiation. Compared with control group,the amount of acetoacetate decreased after irradiation(t =29.7 -30.7,P ＜ 0.05 ),but its relative level was stable when the dose increased ( P ＞ 0.05 ).Meanwhile,the relative level of hippuric acid increased ( t =4.4 - 21.6,P ＜ 0.05 ) especially when the accumulated dose was higher than 1 Gy (t =21.6,P＜0.05). The relative level of proline,taurine and trimethylamine-N-oxide increased after irradiation with the same trend( t =3.5 - 13.4,4.7 - 11.5,2.9- 12.7,P＜0.05). Conclusions The acetoacetate,hippuric acid,proline,taurine,and trimethylamine-N-oxide may be applicable for biomarkers of accumulative irradiation on rat.
