Objective:To investigate the association of risky drinking and decision-making ability among off-spring of fathers with alcohol dependence(OFAD).Methods:A case-control study was conducted according to the cutoff of the Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test(AUDIT)(delimited as 7).OFAD were divided into"risky drinking group"(n=29)and"non-risky drinking group"(n=43).The Iowa Gambling Task(IGT)was used to e-valuate the decision-making ability.Covariance analysis was used to compare differences of IGT between the two groups,and multivariate logistic regression was used to explore the association between risky drinking and decision making ability.Results:There was no significant difference in total scores of IGT between the risky drinking group and the non-risky drinking group(P＞0.05).Risky drinking group had less Selection 2 in block 5 of IGT[(3.8± 2.5)v.s.(5.7±3.1),P＜0.05]than non-risky drinking group.Selection 2 in block 5 was still associated with risky drinking after controlling the covariates(OR=0.72,95％CI:0.57～0.90,P＜0.05).Conclusion:This study indicates that risky drinking group in offspring of parents with alcohol dependence may have better decision-making ability.

Objective:To explore the efficacy and safety of ibrutinib for the treatment of newly treated and relapsed refractory (R/R) lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma (LPL) /Waldenstr?m macroglobulinemia (WM) .Methods:Retrospectively collected clinical data of 98 cases of newly treated and R/R LPL/WM patients who received ibrutinib treatment at the Hematology & Blood Diseases Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences from March 2016 to June 2023, and analyzed their efficacy and safety.Results:A total of 98 LPL/WM patients were included, which consisted of 45 newly treated patients and 53 R/R patients. Of these, 74 were males (75.5%) and the cohort had a median age of 64 (42-87) years. Eighty-eight patients were eligible for efficacy evaluation with a median treatment time of 20.8 (2.1-55.0) months, a major remission rate (MRR) of 78.4%, and an overall response rate (ORR) of 85.2%. The MRR and ORR of the newly treated patients were 78.4% and 86.5%, respectively, whereas the MRR and ORR of the R/R patients were 78.4% and 84.3%, respectively. There were no statistically significant differences in MRR and ORR between the initial treatment and R/R patients (all P values >0.05) . The median follow-up period was 29.1 (2.9-50.3) months and the median overall survival time for newly treated and R/R patients was not reached. The median progression-free survival time was 23.5 (95% CI 10.5-36.5) months and 45.0 (95% CI 34.0-56.0) months, respectively, with no statistically significant differences (all P values >0.05) . There were 25 deceased patients and no deaths were related to ibrutinib treatment. The main adverse reactions of ibrutinib were thrombocytopenia (5.1%) , pneumonia (8.1%) , and hyperuricemia (21.4%) . The incidence of atrial fibrillation was 2.0%. Conclusion:Ibrutinib exhibits good efficacy and safety for newly treated and R/R LPL/WM patients.

Objective:This study aimed to summarize the clinical characteristics and prognosis of patients with bone marrow invasive follicular lymphoma (FL) and discuss the treatment modalities.Methods:This study included 183 consecutive patients with FL accompanied by bone marrow invasion and receiving regular treatment at the Hospital of Hematology, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, from January 2013 to December 2022. Clinical data were retrospectively collected and analyzed, and single and multifactorial analyses of survival prognosis were conducted with the Kaplan-Meier method and Cox regression model.Results:The median age was 48 (range: 19 - 78) years, and the male-to-female ratio was 0.9∶1. All of the patients had bone marrow invasion, 27.8% had increased lactate dehydrogenase levels, 42.1% had lymphocyte counts of >5×10 9/L, 18.4% had abnormal chromosomal karyotypes, and 48.6% had Ki-67 index of ≥30% in lymphoid tissue. Comparison of different subgroups: lymphocyte counts of >5×10 9/L, number of lymph nodes of ≥5 involved, and proportion of bone marrow chromosomal abnormalities occurring were higher in the anthracycline-intensive treatment group than in the rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (R-CHOP) protocol and the nucleoside analog (including CD20 monoclonal antibody in combination with fludarabine and bendamustine) groups (all P<0.05). The complete remission rate was 39.1% in the conventional R-CHOP group, which was lower and statistically significant than that in the intensive treatment group (55.1%) and the nucleoside analog group (62.5%) ( P=0.042). The multivariate analysis for survival analysis revealed high risk of FLIPI ( HR= 1.910, 95% CI 1.036 - 3.522, P=0.036), chromosomal abnormalities karyotype ( HR=2.666, 95% CI 1.333-5.331, P=0.006), and conventional R-CHOP treatment ( HR=2.287, 95% CI 1.140-4.591, P=0.020) were the independent adverse prognostic factors affecting progression-free survival (PFS), whereas POD24 was the only independent adverse prognostic factor affecting overall survival (OS) adverse prognostic factor ( HR=9.581, 95% CI 3.000 - 30.593, P<0.001) . Conclusions:The clinical presentations of patients with bone marrow invasive FL were easy to combine the clinical features, including increased lymphocyte count, chromosomal abnormalities, and Ki-67 index in lymphoid tissues. The FLIPI score, chromosomal abnormal karyotype, and high-lymphoid-tissue Ki-67 index were the poor prognostic factors influencing PFS. R-CHOP therapy demonstrated a poor prognosis in this group of patients.

Objective: To explore the epidemiological characteristic of a COVID-19 outbreak caused by 2019-nCoV Omicron variant BF.7 and other provinces imported in Shenzhen and analyze transmission chains and characteristics. Methods: Field epidemiological survey was conducted to identify the transmission chain, analyze the generation relationship among the cases. The 2019-nCoV nucleic acid positive samples were used for gene sequencing. Results: From 8 to 23 October, 2022, a total of 196 cases of COVID-19 were reported in Shenzhen, all the cases had epidemiological links. In the cases, 100 were men and 96 were women, with a median of age, M (Q₁, Q₃) was 33(25, 46) years. The outbreak was caused by traverlers initial cases infected with 2019-nCoV who returned to Shenzhen after traveling outside of Guangdong Province.There were four transmission chains, including the transmission in place of residence and neighbourhood, affecting 8 persons, transmission in social activity in the evening on 7 October, affecting 65 persons, transmission in work place on 8 October, affecting 48 persons, and transmission in a building near the work place, affecting 74 persons. The median of the incubation period of the infection, M (Q₁, Q₃) was 1.44 (1.11, 2.17) days. The incubation period of indoor exposure less than that of the outdoor exposure, M (Q₁, Q₃) was 1.38 (1.06, 1.84) and 1.95 (1.22, 2.99) days, respcetively (Wald χ²=10.27, P=0.001). With the increase of case generation, the number and probability of gene mutation increased. In the same transmission chain, the proportion of having 1-3 mutation sites was high in the cases in the first generation. Conclusions: The transmission chains were clear in this epidemic. The incubation period of Omicron variant BF.7 infection was shorter, the transmission speed was faster, and the gene mutation rate was higher. It is necessary to conduct prompt response and strict disease control when epidemic occurs.

Objective: To investigate the association of plasma vitamin B₁₂ level with plasma uric acid level among the elderly over 65 in 9 longevity areas of China. Methods: The elderly over 65 years old with complete information on plasma vitamin B₁₂ and plasma uric acid from Healthy Aging and Biomarkers Cohort Study (2017 to 2018) were recruited in this study. Information on socio-demographic characteristics, life styles, diet intake, and health status were collected by questionnaire and physical examination; and fasting venous blood was collected to detect the levels of plasma vitamin B₁₂, uric acid and other indicators. Multiple linear regression models were used to analyze the association of plasma vitamin B₁₂ level per interquartile range increase with plasma uric acid level. The association trend of plasma vitamin B₁₂ level with plasma uric acid level was described by restrictive cubic splines fitting multiple linear regression model. Multiple logistic regression models were used to analyze the association of plasma vitamin B₁₂ level stratified by quartiles with hyperuricemia. Results: A total of 2 471 participants were finally included in the study, the age was (84.88±19.76) years old, of which 1 291 (52.25%) were female. The M (Q₁, Q₃) level of plasma vitamin B₁₂ was 294 (203, 440) pg/ml and the plasma uric acid level was (341.01±90.46) μmol/L. A total of 422 participants (17.08%) were defined with hyperuricemia. The results of multiple linear regression model showed that there was a positive association of plasma vitamin B₁₂ level with plasma uric acid level after adjustment for covariates (P<0.05). An IQR increase in plasma vitamin B₁₂ (237 pg/ml) was associated with a 6.36 (95%CI: 2.00-10.72) μmol/L increase in the plasma uric acid level. The restrictive cubic splines curve showed a positive linear association of log-transformed plasma vitamin B₁₂ with uric acid level (P<0.001). Conclusion: There is a positive association of plasma vitamin B₁₂ level with plasma uric acid level among the elderly over 65 years old in 9 longevity areas of China.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of radical resection of pancreatic cancer after neoadjuvant conversion therapy.Methods:The retrospective and descriptive study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of 23 patients who underwent radical resection of pancreatic cancer after neoadjuvant conversion therapy in Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing University Medical School from January 2019 to May 2022 were collected. There were 17 males and 6 females, aged 58(range, 33-73)years. After neoadjuvant conversion therapy, the three-dimensional (3D) visualization was used to evaluate and classify tumor vascular invasion, and surgical plan was planned and implemented. Observation indicators: (1) situations of neoadjuvant conversion therapy; (2) surgical situations; (3) postoperative histopathological examination; (4) postoperative recovery; (5) follow-up. Measurement data with normal distribution were represen-ted as Mean± SD, and measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M(range) or M( Q1, Q3). Count data were described as absolute numbers. Results:(1) Situations of neoadjuvant conversion therapy. All 23 patients received the AG combination chemotherapy (albumin-paclitaxel+gemcitabine), including 14 patients combined with stereotactic body radiation therapy. Of the 23 patients, 22 cases achieved partial response, and 1 case showed stable disease. The CA19-9 of the 23 patients was 85.06(29.74,634.5)U/mL and 13.96(9.74,25.02)U/mL before and after neoadjuvant conversion therapy, respectively. (2) Surgical situations. According to the results of preoperative 3D visualization of tumor vascular invasion, 7 of the 23 patients were evaluated as arterial invasion, 8 cases were evaluated as venous invasion, 5 cases were evaluated as arterial and venous invasion, and there were 3 cases showing negative of vascular invasion. Of the 23 patients, 12 cases underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy, 4 cases underwent radical antegrade modular pancreatosplenectomy, 7 cases underwent total pancreaticoduodenectomy. For vascular reconstruction, there were 10 patients without vascular reconstruction, and there were 13 patients undergoing artificial vascular vein reconstruction. The operation time and volume of intraoperative blood loss of the 23 patients was (524±171)minutes and 1 000(400,1 600)mL, respectively. (3) Postoperative histopathological exami-nation. Results of postoperative histopathological examination in 23 patients showed that there were 2 cases with moderate-well differentiated tumor, 10 cases with moderate differentiated tumor, 7 cases with moderate-poorly differentiated tumor, 2 cases with poorly differentiated tumor, and 2 cases negative of tumor. The number of lymph node dissected in 23 patients was 16±7. There were 5 cases with lymph node metastasis and 18 cases without lymph node metastasis. There were 17 cases with nerve invasion and 6 cases without nerve invasion. All 23 patients were negative of vascular invasion. Of the 23 patients, there were 21 cases with R 0 resection and 2 cases with R 1 resection. For pathological TNM staging, there were 2 cases with 0 stage, 13 cases with Ⅰ stage, 7 cases with Ⅱ stage, and 1 case with Ⅳ stage. For postoperative pathological scoring, there were 2 cases achieved 0 point (complete pathological remission), 16 cases achieved 2 points (partial remission), and 5 cases achieved 3 points (no significant effect). (4) Postoperative recovery. The postoperative duration of hospital stay of 23 patients was 19(14,31)days. There were 17 of 23 patients underwent postoperative complications, including 11 cases with Clavien-Dindo Ⅱ stage complications, 3 cases with Clavien-Dindo Ⅲa stage complications, 1 case with Clavien-Dindo Ⅲb stage complication, 1 case with Clavien-Dindo Ⅳ stage complication, and 1 case with Clavien-Dindo Ⅴ stage complica-tion. (5) Follow-up. There were 22 patients underwent follow-up, with follow-up time as 12(9,23)months. There were 9 patients underwent postoperative recurrence and metastasis, with recurrence and metastasis time as 7.8(range, 6.0-12.0)months. During the follow-up, 15 of the 22 patients survived. Conclusion:Radical resection of pancreatic cancer after neoadjuvant conversion therapy is feasible.
