Objective To analyze the factors influencing the deterioration of nutritional status after radiotherapy/radiochemotherapy for esophageal cancer,so as to provide reference for nutritional management during antitumor therapy.Methods A total of 106 patients with esophageal cancer who received radiotherapy or radiochemotherapy at Anqing First People's Hospital of Anhui Medical University from Dec.2017 to Dec.2023 were enrolled.Patients'gender,age,surgical history,timing of radiotherapy intervention,synchronous chemoradiotherapy,radiotherapy dose,clinical stage,initial nutritional status,and performance status score were collected.The patient generated subjective global assessment scale(PG-SGA)scores were monitored before and after antitumor treatment.According to the nutritional status at the beginning of enrollment and at the end of radiotherapy,the patients were assigned to deterioration group or non-deterioration(stable or improved)group.The clinical characteristics of the 2 groups were compared.The factors influencing the deterioration of nutritional status were screened by logistic regression analysis.The correlation between nutritional status deterioration and adverse reactions(radiation esophagitis,pulmonary infection,neutropenia,thrombocytopenia,and elevated aminotransferase)was analyzed by Spearman correlation analysis.Results There were no significant differences in gender,radiotherapy dose,initial nutritional status,or performance status score between the 2 groups for the deterioration of nutritional status after radiotherapy(all P>0.05).The proportions of patients with previous surgical history of esophageal cancer,synchronous chemoradiotherapy,initiation of radiotherapy at less than 90%of target calorie requirement,and clinical stage Ⅳ were significantly higher in the deterioration group than those in the non-deterioration group(all P<0.05).Logistic regression analysis showed that clinical stage Ⅳ(odds ratio[OR]=4.684,95%confidence interval[CI]1.252-17.519,P=0.022)and previous surgical history of esophageal cancer(OR=7.338,95%CI 1.878-28.666,P=0.004)were the independent adverse risk factors for the deterioration of nutritional status after radiotherapy/radiochemotherapy.The timing of radiotherapy intervention was also an independent risk factor for the deterioration of nutritional status,and taking the tolerance of 70%-90%target energy as the reference level,starting radiotherapy when the tolerance of 90%-100%target energy had the optimal protection of nutritional status(OR=0.166,95%CI 0.050-0.551,P=0.003).Spearman correlation analysis showed that the deterioration of nutritional status was positively correlated with elevated transaminases after radiotherapy(rs=0.283,P=0.003),while it was not correlated with the other adverse reactions(all P>0.05).Conclusion Under the standard nutritional intervention model,patients with previous surgery and recurrent metastatic esophageal cancer who receive radiotherapy/chemoradiotherapy are still at risk of nutritional status deterioration.Tolerance to 90%-100%target energy requirement may be a more appropriate timing for radiotherapy intervention.When the nutritional status deteriorates during treatment,it is necessary to be alert to the elevated transaminases.

Eclipta prostrata L.has been used in traditional medicine and known for its liver-protective properties for centuries.Wedelolactone(WEL)and demethylwedelolactone(DWEL)are the major coumarins found in E.prostrata L.However,the comprehensive characterization of these two compounds on non-alcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD)still remains to be explored.Utilizing a well-established zebrafish model of thioacetamide(TAA)-induced liver injury,the present study sought to investigate the impacts and mechanisms of WEL and DWEL on NAFLD through integrative spatial metabolomics with liver-specific transcriptomics analysis.Our results showed that WEL and DWEL significantly improved liver function and reduced the accumulation of fat in the liver.The biodistributions and metabolism of these two compounds in whole-body zebrafish were successfully mapped,and the discriminatory endogenous metabolites reversely regulated by WEL and DWEL treatments were also characterized.Based on spatial metabolomics and transcriptomics,we identified that steroid biosynthesis and fatty acid metabolism are mainly involved in the hepatoprotective effects of WEL instead of DWEL.Our study unveils the distinct mechanism of WEL and DWEL in ameliorating NAFLD,and presents a"multi-omics"platform of spatial metabolomics and liver-specific transcriptomics to develop highly effective compounds for further improved therapy.

ObjectiveTo explore the relationship between the intestinal flora and the impairment of liver and kidney in HIV-infected men who have heterosexual sex with healthy women. MethodsFecal samples from 41 HIV-infected heterosexual men who have sex with women (PMSW) and 43 age- and BMI-matched healthy heterosexual men who have sex with women (NMSW) were collected and subjected to 16S rDNA sequencing. The blood levels of AST, ALT, TBIL, UREA, Cr, UA, β2-MG and other liver and kidney function indicators were measured. Bioinformatics methods were used to analyze the characteristics of the intestinal flora of the patients in these two groups, to compare the differential bacteria strains, and to analyze their correlation with liver and kidney function indicators. ResultsIn comparison with NMSW, the alpha diversity of intestinal flora was decreased in PMSW, and the beta diversity analysis showed significant differences in flora characteristics between the two groups (P<0.05). The abundance of Clostridium, Phylum thick-walled, Trichosporon, and Clostridium tumefaciens decreased but Fusobacteriota increased (LDA score >4). The comparison of liver and kidney function indexes revealed that AST, β2-MG levels were higher in PMSW than in NMSW, while TBIL was lower in PMSW than in NMSW. The number of patients with abnormal β2-MG was much higher in PMSW than in NMSW, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.001). It was also found that AST was negatively correlated with Clostridium (P<0.05); TBIL was negatively correlated with Clostridium and positively correlated with Phylum thick-walled and Trichosporon (P<0.05). β2-MG was negatively correlated with Phylum thick-walled, Clostridium, Trichosporon and Rumenococcus (P<0.05) and positively correlated with Clostridium (P<0.05). ConclusionIn PMSW group, the alpha diversity of the flora is decreased. AST and β2-MG levels are increased, and TBIL level is decreased. These changes were significantly correlated with different strains of bacteria in the intestinal flora.

ObjectiveTo investigate the risk factors of anemia in HIV-infected patients receiving highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) in the Pudong New Area. MethodsA retrospective cohort study was conducted among HIV-infected patients who started HAART from 2005 to 2020 in Pudong New Area. Cox proportional hazards model was used to analyze the risk factors of anemia, moderate or severe anemia, and chronic anemia. The piecewise linear mixed-effect model was used to analyze the association between initial HAART classes and hemoglobin change in the follow-up. ResultsA total of 2 403 HIV-infected patients were included in the analysis. Among them, there were 357 cases of new onset anemia, 86 cases of chronic anemia and 102 cases of moderate or severe anemia, with the incidence density of 4.41/100 person years, 0.89/100 person years and 0.96/100 person years respectively. Multifactorial Cox regression analysis results showed that female, age >45 years, baseline CD4+ T lymphocyte count (CD4) <200 cells‧μL-1, opportunistic infections, glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <60 mL‧min-1‧(1.73 m2)-1, and zidovudine (AZT) or protease inhibitor (PIs) based regimens were associated factors for the development of anemia. Female, age >45 years, CD4 <200 cells‧μL-1, opportunistic infections, and AZT-based regimens were associated with the development of chronic anemia. Mild anemia at baseline and AZT-based regimens were associated with the development of moderate or severe anemia. Linear mixed-effects model showed that the use of AZT (-7.87 g‧L-1, 95%CI: -9.42 to -6.32) or PIs (-3.43 g‧L-1, 95%CI: -5.57 to -1.30) was associated with lower Hb at follow-up. ConclusionInitial use of AZT and PIs is associated with progression to anemia and a lower follow-up hemoglobin level. Increased hemoglobin monitoring in users of AZT and PIs may be beneficial, especially during the first 6 months after initiation of HAART.
