It is very limited that the benefit of perioperative chemotherapy in early non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and the 5-year survival rate is only 5% higher than surgery. Antibodies that block programmed cell death protein 1/programmed death-ligand 1 significantly improve the survival of advanced NSCLC. The value of immunotherapy in early NSCLC is also being explored. This paper firstly summarized and analyzed the progress of immunotherapy in the perioperative period of NSCLC. Secondly, the safety and feasibility of surgical resection after neoadjuvant immunotherapy were discussed. Finally, the clinical value of different therapeutic efficacy prediction indicators was summarized, in order to clarify the current status of immunotherapy in the perioperative period, so as to improve the clinical benefits of early NSCLC patients.

To systematically analyzed the reporting status of core elements in publicly available clinical practice guideline(hereafter referred to as "guideline") protocols published domestically and internationally over the past decade, identified existing problems, and provided evidence to inform the standardized writing and publication of future guideline protocols.

Objective To analyze the disease burden and trends of bladder cancer in China and globally from 1992 to 2021.  Methods Using the GBD 2021 database, the incidence, prevalence, mortality, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) rates of bladder cancer in China and globally from 1992–2021 were analyzed. Average annual percentage change (AAPC) was calculated using Joinpoint regression. Subgroup analyses by sex and age were conducted, and a Bayesian age-period-cohort (BAPC) model was used to predict trends in age-standardized incidence rate (ASIR) and age-standardized mortality rate (ASMR) for the next 15 years.  Results In 2021, China reported 106 000 new cases (ASIR: 5.14/100 000), 571 000 prevalent cases (age-standardized prevalence rate, ASPR: 26.61/100 000), 43 000 deaths (ASMR: 2.34/100 000), and a DALY rate of 45.31/100 000. From 1992–2021, China showed upward trends in ASIR and ASPR but declines in ASMR and DALYs, while global ASIR, ASMR, and DALYs decreased overall with slow ASPR growth. The peak cases in China and globally were both concentrated in the 65-79 age group, with a significantly higher burden on males than females. In China, smoking-related ASMR and ASDR exceeded global averages and rose, whereas high glucose-related indexes were lower and declined. Projections for 2021–2036 indicated that the global incidence and mortality rates would be rising, but ASIR/ASPR would be declining, while in China, the incidence rate would continue to rise, and the mortality rate will stabilize, with a significant increase in ASIR and a gradual decrease in ASPR.  Conclusion From 1992 to 2021, the incidence of bladder cancer in China has shown a continuous upward trend and is projected to persist in the future, with significant gender and age differences. Particular attention should be given to elderly males aged 85-89. The disease burden of bladder cancer attributable to smoking continues to rise, highlighting the urgent need to strengthen tobacco control policies.

Objective: To investigate the damaging effects of red blood cell supernatant (RBC-S) stored for different durations (7 d, 14 d, and 28 d) on vascular endothelial cells, and to explore the underlying mechanisms using bioinformatics analysis, so as to provide references for optimizing red blood cell transfusion strategies. Methods: Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were co-cultured with RBC-S stored for 7, 14 and 28 days, designated as the 7 d group, 14 d group and 28 d group respectively, which were collectively defined as the experimental groups. Cell damage was evaluated by cell proliferation assay (Cell Counting Kit8, CCK8), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release assay, 4′, 6diamidino2phenylindole (DAPI) staining, and flow cytometry for apoptosis and reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels. The damage degree of RBC-S on vascular endothelial cells was assessed by statistical analysis of damage data among different groups. Since the damage effect reached a plateau at all time points, the 28 d storage group was selected as the representative for further mechanistic studies. Transcriptomic analysis was performed to explore the role of frizzled class receptor 1 (FZD1) and Wnt signaling pathway in red blood cell storagerelated endothelial dysfunction. Results: Compared with the control group, the storage groups treated with 7 d, 14 d, and 28 d RBC-S showed significantly decreased cell proliferation rates [control group 100%, 7 d group (69.51±2.30)%, 14 d group (74.54±2.89)%, 28 d group (73.59±2.36)%, P<0.05], significantly reduced numbers of DAPI-stained cell nuclei [control group (213±12.5) per field, 7 d group (140.33±17.04) per field, 14 d group (152.00±23.72) per field, 28 d group (144.33±19.09) per field, P<0.05] and significantly increased LDH release [control group (1), 7 d group (8.33±1.41), 14 d group (9.23±0.83), 28 d group (9.16±0.60), P<0.05]. There was no significant difference in the degree of damage caused by RBC-S among different storage groups (P>0.05). With the prolongation of storage time, free hemoglobin (FHb) gradually increased [control group (not detected), 7 d (16.57±6.38) mg/L, 14 d (76.80±22.83) mg/L, 28 d (286.97±29.02) mg/L, P<0.05]. The apoptotic rate (20.53±2.94)% and ROS relative intensity (5.13±0.91) in the 28 d storage group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P<0.05). Transcriptomic analysis showed that FZD1 played a key role in vascular endothelial dysfunction induced by red blood cell storage and was closely related to the Wnt signaling regulatory network. Conclusion: RBC-S stored for 7 d, 14 d, or 28 d can all significantly damage vascular endothelial cells, and the damaging effect reaches a plateau at 7 d of storage. Mechanistic investigation of the 28 d group indicated that the downregulation of the FZD1/Wnt signaling pathway may play a critical role in vascular endothelial dysfunction induced by red blood cell storage, providing a theoretical basis for further optimizing red blood cell storage and transfusion strategies.

[Objective] To evaluate the risk of bacterial contamination of platelets apheresis and improve the clinical diagnosis rate of transfusion-transmitted bacterial infections. [Methods] A retrospective analysis was conducted on 11 cases involving bacterial contamination detected in apheresis platelets during quality inspections at our center from 2021 to 2023, as well as cases of transfusion-transmitted bacterial infection (TTBI) caused by platelet transfusion. The return of positive platelet bacteria test results and clinical transfusion adverse reactions were statistically analyzed. [Results] There were 9 donors with bacteria-contaminated platelets, of which 3 were reported as clinical transfusion reaction, 4 were detected by quality sampling, and 2 were identified by appearance detection before transfusion. The bacterial contamination rate of platelets was about 0.08% (9/10 762). The contaminated platelets were involved in 11 cases of TTBI, with an incidence of TTBI of approximately 0.05% (11/21 916). Only 3 cases of transfusion reactions were clinically reported, while the rest were case tracking with positive results of platelet bacterial test from quality sampling. The clinical return rate of TTBI was 27.27% (3/11), with an average reporting time of 8.12 hours after the occurrence of transfusion reactions. The majority of the contaminated platelets were detected at the end stage of storage, with 55.56% (5/9) of platelets collected on the 4th day after collection. Partial contaminated platelets were identified through quality sampling, with a positive rate of 2.78% (4/144). [Conclusion] The platelet bacterial contamination rate is high, but with low clinical return rate. It is recommended to conduct routine platelet bacterial monitoring and improve clinical diagnostic level.

Natural antimicrobial peptides(AMPs)are promising candidates for the development of a new gener-ation of antimicrobials to combat antibiotic-resistant pathogens.They have found extensive applications in the fields of medicine,food,and agriculture.However,efficiently screening AMPs from natural sources poses several challenges,including low efficiency and high antibiotic resistance.This review focuses on the action mechanisms of AMPs,both through membrane and non-membrane routes.We thoroughly examine various highly efficient AMP screening methods,including whole-bacterial adsorption binding,cell membrane chromatography(CMC),phospholipid membrane chromatography binding,membrane-mediated capillary electrophoresis(CE),colorimetric assays,thin layer chromatography(TLC),fluorescence-based screening,genetic sequencing-based analysis,computational mining of AMP data-bases,and virtual screening methods.Additionally,we discuss potential developmental applications for enhancing the efficiency of AMP discovery.This review provides a comprehensive framework for identifying AMPs within complex natural product systems.

Objective To investigate the effects of a continuous-dose administration versus different dosage regimens of polyethylene glycol electrolyte solution(PEG)taken in two doses with a 12-hour interval on bowel cleansing efficacy,with the goal of optimizing bowel preparation protocols and improving patient tolerability.Methods 232 patients who underwent painless colonoscopy and used PEG as a bowel cleanser from June 2024 to September 2024 were selected as study subjects.Participants were divided into three groups:the control group(3.00 L PEG continuous dose),experimental group A(0.75 L+2.25 L PEG),and experimental group B(1.50 L+1.50 L PEG).All patients underwent painless colonoscopy within 4～6 h after completing PEG intake.The interval between the two doses of PEG in group A and group B was 12 h.The bowel cleansing efficacy was assessed by using the Boston bowel preparation scale(BBPS),and the rates of colon polyp detection,adverse reactions,sleep duration,and tolerability were recorded.Results There were no significant statistical differences in BBPS scores and colon polyp detection rates among the three groups(P>0.05).Experimental group B experienced the least adverse reactions,followed by experimental group A,while the control group reported the most significant adverse reactions(P<0.05).The timing of PEG administration did not have a significant impact on sleep duration among the three groups(P>0.05).Patients in experimental group B showed good tolerability to PEG and were willing to accept this bowel preparation regimen,followed by group A,while the control group exhibited the poorest tolerability,with significant statistical differences among the three groups(P<0.05).Conclusion The continuous administration and divided administration of PEG have no significant impact on the effectiveness of intestinal cleansing and the detection rate of colonic polyps.However,the divided PEG regimen with a 12 h interval results in fewer adverse reactions and better tolerance,especially the optimal regimen of taking 1.50 L PEG in two doses with a 12 h interval.

Due to specific storage conditions,the relatively high oxygen supply requirements of permeable platelet preprations storage bags and the storage solution that can serve as an additional energy source for some microor-ganisms,platelet transfusions are associated with a significantly higher risk of bacterial contamination compared to other blood components.The transfusion of contaminated platelet preprations can lead to transfusion-transmitted bacterial infections,septicemic reactions and other complications.Therefore,bacterial contamination of platelet preprations poses a serious threat to patients' transfusion safety and has become an urgent issue in the field of transfusion medicine.Monitoring of bacterial contamination in platelet preprations is an effective way to control such contamination.This paper reviews the current epidemiological status,clinical risks and international progress in monitoring bacterial contamination in platelet preprations.It also analyzes the current situation and challenges in China and proposes suggestions tailored to the development of the industry.The aim is to enhance the level of monitoring for bacterial contamination in platelet preprations in China and provide scientific evidence and guidance for ensuring patients' transfusion safety.

OBJECTIVE To analyze the risk factors for peripherally inserted central catheter(PICC)central line-as-sociated bloodstream infection in cancer patients and explore corresponding management strategies.METHODS The data of 52 chemotherapy patients with PICC central line-associated bloodstream infection(PICC-CLABSI)ad-mitted to the Department of Gastroenterology of the First Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Medical University be-tween May 2021 and May 2023 were collected retrospectively,and the patients were classified as the infection group.Additionally,183 chemotherapy patients without PICC-CLABSI during the same period were included as the non-infection group.Clinical data from both groups were collected.Logistic regression analysis was used to identify risk factors for PICC-CLABSI in cancer patients,and receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves were employed to assess the accuracy of predictive variables.RESULTS A total of 57 pathogens were isolated from 52 patients with PICC-CLABSI,including 15 strains of Escherichia coli,12 strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae,9 strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and 9 strains of Staphylococcus aureus.Diabetes(OR=2.694),catheter in-dwelling time≥30 d(OR=7.146),number of chemotherapy(OR=6.617),maintenance frequency of once per week(OR=2.803)and maintenance method(OR=6.289)were identified as risk factors for PICC-CLABSI(P＜0.05).The area under the curve for the combined prediction of PICC-CLABSI was 0.904,with a sensitivity of 0.750 and a specificity of 0.907.CONCLUSIONS Diabetes,catheter indwelling time and number of chemotherapy are risk factors for PICC-CLABSI,while a maintenance frequency of once per week and the maintenance method are protective factors.Close attention should be paid to the assessment of risk factors after catheter placement,and targeted anti-infection strategies should be implemented.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of eculizumab in treating hematopoietic stem cell transplantation-associated thrombotic microangiopathy (TA-TMA) .Methods:This retrospective study included 11 patients who developed TA-TMA after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and subsequently received eculizumab treatment at Peking University People′s Hospital between June 2018 and May 2024. The incidence of TA-TMA, treatment details, and clinical outcomes were analyzed.Results:Among the 11 included patients [4 males, 7 females; median age: 29 years (range: 9-56) ], underlying diseases were severe aplastic anemia (SAA) in 5 patients, acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in 3 patients, and acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in 3 patients. The median time to TA-TMA diagnosis was 48 days post-transplantation (range: 4-213 days), and all patients met the diagnostic criteria for high-risk TA-TMA. The median interval from TA-TMA diagnosis to the initiation of eculizumab treatment was 12 days (range: 1-56 days). Patients received a median of 3 doses of eculizumab (range: 1-14). Ten of the 11 patients were assessed as having no response (NR) to eculizumab at the end of treatment or at death. One patient achieved a partial response (PR) but subsequently died after TA-TMA relapsed due to infection. At the last follow-up, all patients were either lost to follow-up or had died. The median follow-up duration was 88 days (range: 33-326 days), and the median time from TA-TMA diagnosis to the last follow-up was 31 days (range: 21-113 days) .Conclusion:Eculizumab demonstrated poor efficacy in this TA-TMA cohort. This might be attributable to the critical and complex condition of the patients, delayed initiation of eculizumab treatment, and insufficient dosage.
