OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy and safety of first-line treatments regimens for human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 （HER2）-positive advanced gastric cancer. METHODS Computer searches were conducted on databases such as Web of Science， Embase， CNKI， and VIP in both Chinese and English， and abstracts of papers from the annual meetings of the European Society of Oncology and the American Society of Clinical Oncology were screened. Collected randomized controlled trials （RCTs） on first-line treatment for HER2-positive advanced unresectable or metastatic gastric cancer or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma patients， with a retrieval period from database establishment until April 1， 2025. A network meta-analysis was conducted by two researchers who independently screened literature， extracted data， and evaluated the risk of bias in the study. RESULTS A total of 5 RCTs involving 2 797 patients and encompassing 6 treatment regimens were ultimately included. In the assessment of overall survival， there was a trend towards survival benefit for trastuzumab combined with chemotherapy （Tra_chemo）， pertuzumab combined with trastuzumab and chemotherapy （Per_Tra_chemo）， high-dose trastuzumab combined with chemotherapy （TraHD_chemo）， lapatinib combined with chemotherapy （Lap_chemo）， and pembrolizumab combined with trastuzumab and chemotherapy （Pem_Tra_chemo） compared to chemotherapy alone （chemo）； however， the differences were not statistically significant （P＞0.05）； the top two treatment regimens in terms of the surface under the cumulative ranking curve （SUCRA） were Pem_Tra_chemo （77.8%） and TraHD_chemo （74.2%）. For progression-free survival， there was statistical significance between Per_Tra_chemo and chemo， Pem_Tra_chemo and chemo （P＜0.05）； the top two treatment regimens in terms of SUCRA were Per_Tra_chemo （83.0%） and Pem_Tra_chemo （82.8%）. Regarding objective response rate， there was statistical significance between Pem_Tra_chemo and chemo （P＜0.05）； the top two treatment regimens in terms of SUCRA were Pem_Tra_chemo（87.4%）and Per_Tra_chemo（72.2%）. In terms of safety， there was statistical significance in the incidence of any level of adverse events between Lap_chemo and chemo （P＜0.05）； the top two treatment regimens in terms of SUCRA were chemo（87.1%）and Pem_Tra_chemo（53.8%）. Lap_chemo exhibited a higher incidence of grade ≥3 adverse events compared to chemo， and Per_Tra_chemo showed a higher incidence compared to Tra_chemo （P＜0.05）； the top two treatment regimens in terms of SUCRA were Tra_chemo （79.0%） and chemo （77.6%）. CONCLUSIONS In the first-line treatment of HER2-positive advanced gastric cancer， Pem_Tra_chemo and Per_Tra_chemo regimens have relatively good efficacy， but the safety risks are relatively high， requiring close attention and whole- process management.

The HACEK group microorganisms(Haemophilus parainfluenzae,Aggregatibacter actinomycetem-comitans,Cardiobacterium spp.,Eikenella corrodens,Kingella kingae)belong to Gram-negative bacilli and are members of the normal oropharyngeal microbiota,which can cause invasive opportunistic infection when the host immune barrier is damaged,with infective endocarditis being one of the most serious diseases.HACEK endocarditis is characterized by an insidious course,prolonged delay of diagnosis,and dependence on third-generation cephalo-sporins for treatment.In recent years,with the emergence and development of 16S ribosomal RNA gene sequencing technique,the rapid diagnosis of this disease is expected to be achieved.This paper summarizes the main clinical characteristics and research progress of infective endocarditis caused by HACEK group bacteria,aiming to provide reference for clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Background:To compare the efficacy and safety of monthly administrations of gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists LY01005 and Zoladex ? in Chinese patients with premenopausal breast cancer. Methods:From October 2020 to November 2021, 188 premenopausal breast cancer patients were enrolled in 34 hospitals and randomized 1:1 to receive either LY01005 or Zoladex ? every 28 days for a total of three injections. All patients concomitantly received oral tamoxifen (TAM). The primary efficacy endpoint was cumulative probability of maintaining menopausal level [oestradiol (E2) ≤30 pg/ml] from day 29 to day 85. The second efficacy endpoint included changes in E2, luteinizing hormone (LH), and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) compared with the baseline. Pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and safety were analyzed. The study also evaluated the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic characteristics of LY01005. Results:A total of 188 patients were randomised and 187 patients received either LY01005 or Zoladex ?. Cumulative probabilities of maintaining menopausal level (E2≤30 pg/ml) from day 29 to day 85 were 93.1% for LY01005 and 86.3% for Zoladex ?. The between-group difference was 6.8% (95% CI: -2.3%, 15.9%) and primary efficacy in the LY01005 group was not inferior to that in the Zoladex ? group. Changes in E2, LH, and FSH levels compared with the baseline were equivalent between the two groups (E2: 89.34% to 90.23% vs. 82.11% to 85.02%; LH: 88.89% to 95.52% vs. 89.70% to 97.02%; FSH: 75.36% to 80.85% vs.73.07% to 80.24%, respectively). After three consecutive doses of LY01005, the LH and FSH levels of the subjects showed a transient increase after the first dose, reached a peak on the second day and then started to decrease. The LH and FSH reached a lower level and remained at or below that level until the 85th day. Both treatments were well-tolerated. Conclusion:LY01005 is as effective as Zoladex ? in suppressing E2 to menopausal levels in Chinese patients with premenopausal breast cancer, with a similar safety profile.

Objective:This study investigates the influence of the apolipoprotein E ε4(APOE ε4)genotype on the relationship between glucose-lipid metabolism disorders and diabetes-related cognitive impairment(DCI).Methods:A case-control study was conducted involving 891 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)with a mean age of(62.1±13.8)years, all of whom underwent elective surgery at the First Hospital of Shanxi Medical University between January 2017 and December 2022.Among these participants, 229 were diagnosed with DCI(case group), while 662 were cognitively normal(control group).Routine clinical information was collected, and peripheral venous blood samples were analyzed for glycated hemoglobin(HbA1c)and blood lipid levels.The single nucleotide polymorphisms rs429358 and rs7412 were analyzed to determine the presence of the APOE ε4 genotype.Stepwise Logistic regression was employed to identify independent risk factors for DCI, and subgroup analyses were performed to evaluate the effect of the APOE ε4 genotype on the relationship between HbA1c and blood lipid levels in relation to DCI risk. Results:Among all patients, female gender( OR=1.915, 95% CI: 1.393-2.631, P<0.001), longer duration of T2DM( OR=1.169, 95% CI: 1.087-1.257, P<0.001), elevated triglycerides( OR=1.161, 95% CI: 1.041-1.294, P=0.007), and being an APOE ε4 carrier( OR=1.638, 95% CI: 1.115-2.405, P=0.012)were identified as independent risk factors for developing DCI.High levels of low-density lipoprotein(LDL)were found to be independently associated with an increased risk of DCI specifically in APOE ε4 carriers( OR=1.408, 95% CI: 1.060-1.870, P=0.018), but not in non-APOE ε4 carriers( P>0.05).In contrast, elevated HbA1c was independently associated with a higher risk of DCI in non-APOE ε4 carriers( OR=1.220, 95% CI: 1.040-1.430, P=0.014), but not in APOE ε4 carriers( P>0.05).Additionally, elevated triglycerides were independently linked to an increased risk of DCI across the entire sample and within each APOE ε4 genotype subgroup. Conclusions:The APOE genotype plays a significant role in modulating the relationship between dyslipidemia and the risk of developing DCI.This highlights the critical importance of lipid metabolism disorders and APOE risk genes in both the development and progression of DCI.These findings offer valuable insights for future clinical and mechanistic studies focused on DCI.

Objective To observe the manifestations of isolated bicuspid aortic valve(i-BAV)in children using echocardiography.Methods Echocardiographic data of 79 children with i-BAV were retrospectively analyzed,and classification of i-BAV was performed.The patients were divided into complication group(n=50)and non-complication group(n=29)according to the existence of valve and/or aortic involvement or not,and echocardiographic parameters were compared between groups.Results After adjusting body surface area(BSA),in complication group,left ventricular end-systolic diameter/BSA was lower,while left ventricular myocardial mass index group was higher than those in non-complication group(both P＜0.05).Type 0 i-BAV was found in 22 cases,with lat subtype as the most common ones(18/22,81.82％),while Type Ⅰ was observed in 57 cases with L-R subtype as the most common ones(39/57,68.42％).The most common subtype in complication group was also Type Ⅰ L-R(31/50,62.00％),with incidence of valve involvement of 90.00％(45/50),mainly including mild aortic stenosis and/or incompetence(37/45,82.22％),and incidence of aorta involvement of 24.00％(12/50),all with type Ⅰ or Ⅱ aortic widening.Conclusion The most common subtype of i-BAV in children was type Ⅰ L-R,with mild valve damage as the main complication and possibility of left ventricular myocardial remodeling.

Objective: To analyze the relationship between the toilet design and sanitary condition of primary and secondary schools in Chengdu and the epidemic situation of Norovirus infection, so as to provide scientific references for school toilet design and Norovirus prevention and control. Methods: A total of 78 cases of norovirus epidemics from 2019 to 2020 were included in this study. These epidemics happened in 78 schools and the causes were indicated as human-to-human transmission. The Chi square and Mann-Whitney U test were used to compare categorical and continuous data respectively. Unconditional binary Logistic regression was used to examine the multivariate associations. Results: Most epidemics happened from October in 2019 to March in 2020(79.49%, 62 cases), in primary schools (71.79%, 56 cases) and in the center area (52.56%, 41 cases). The median of the case number in each epidemic was 10. Overall, 56 schools (71.79%) were equipped with toilets which were flushed independently, and 22 schools (28.21%) were equipped with toilets which were flushed uniformly. There were 27 schools (34.62%) that did not have enough water taps. Logistic regression analysis found that those with toilets flushed uniformly had a stronger epidemic, compared to the schools with toilets flushed independently( OR=5.53, 95%CI=1.63-18.76, P <0.05). Conclusion In order to prevent intestinal infectious diseases , it is suggested that schools should design or reconstruct independent flushing toilets with adequate faucets.

Objective:To study the basic situation of Yunnan Province Suncus murinus carrying plague phage and to explore its epidemiological significance. Methods:From 2015 to 2018, a survey of plague host animals was carried out in 10 investigation sites in the historical plague foci, new plague foci (after 1982) and stubborn plague foci of domestric mouse in Yunnan Province. The plague phage was isolated and cultured from the intestinal specimens of Suncus murinus. The growth of plaque was observed by double-layer plate method, and the morphology and structure of plague phage were observed under electron microscope. At the same time, intestinal samples were taken to detect the structural gene caf1 of F1 antigen of Yersinia pestis. Results:In this study, a total of 157 Suncus murinus were captured and 16 strains of plague phage were isolated, with a total isolation rate of 10.19%. There was no difference in plague phage isolation rate between historical plague foci (10.00%, 1/10) and stubborn plague foci (16.22%, 12/74), new plague foci (4.11%, 3/73, χ 2 = 0.00, P = 0.965; Fisher test, P = 1.000). However, there was a difference in plague phage isolation rate between stubborn plague foci and new plague foci (χ 2 = 5.88, P = 0.015). There was no significant difference in the isolation rate of plague phage among different sex, growth period and habitat ( P > 0.05). The plaque morphology of the isolated plague phage was diverse, of which four strains were myotavirus phages; and all samples were negative for F1 antigen structural gene caf1. Conclusions:Suncus murinus is widely distributed in the domestic mouse plague foci in Yunnan Province, and the animals carry a certain number of plague phage. Regular surveillance of Suncus murinus and their plague phage has a certain guiding significance for the surveillance and early warning of plague in Yunnan Province.

Objective:To analyze the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of imported COVID-19 cases after SARS-CoV-2 vaccination and to provide evidence for the prevention and control of COVID-19.Methods:The imported COVID-19 cases in Chengdu as of April 15, 2021 were divided into the vaccinated group and unvaccinated group according to the history of SARS-CoV-2 vaccination. The epidemiological and clinical data of the cases were collected retrospectively, and the differences in epidemiological and clinical characteristics of the two groups were compared. Laboratory tests consisted of nucleic acid test, clinical index test, serum antibody test and lymphocyte test. Software WPS2019 was used for data management and software R 4.0.3 was used for statistical analysis.Results:A total of 75 COVID-19 cases were included in the analysis, in which 20 had received SARS-CoV-2 vaccination and only 4 with clinical symptoms, 55 patients did not receive SARS-CoV-2 vaccination, and 16 had clinical symptoms. In vaccinated group, the first injection time of vaccination ranged from July to November 2020, and 10 cases received two doses of vaccine simultaneously and 10 cases received two doses of vaccine at intervals of 14-57 days. The intervals between the completion of vaccination and the onset ranged from 87 days to 224 days. The differences in classification and clinical type between the two groups were significant. Significant differences were observed in case classification and clinical type between vaccinated group and unvaccinated group ( P<0.05). The vaccinated group had a relatively high proportion of asymptomatic infections (40.00%, 8/20), while mild infections were mainly observed in the unvaccinated group(76.36%,42/55). The differences in Ct values (ORF1ab gene and N gene) at the diagnosis were not significant between vaccinated group and unvaccinated group ( P>0.05), similar results were also observed in lymphocyte subtypes, procalcitonin and C-reactive protein level comparisons. Serum amyloid A level was higher in unvaccinated group than in vaccinated group ( P<0.05). However, the SARS-CoV-2 related serum antibody of IgM, IgG and total antibody levels were significantly higher in vaccinated group ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Risk of infection still exists with SARS-CoV-2 after vaccination, which can facilitate the production of specific serum antibody of IgM and IgG when people are exposed to the virus. It has a certain protective effect on SARS-CoV-2 infected persons. Vaccination can reduce the clinical symptoms and mitigate disease severity.
