Objective To evaluate the prognostic value of endosomal sorting complex required for transport(ESCRT)-related genes in osteosarcoma(OS)based on bioinformatics.Methods Preprocessing was performed on 88 OS sequencing samples(with 29 death outcomes)downloaded from the TARGET database and 257 patient clinical information.The Cox proportional hazards model was constructed using the survival package to screen ESCRT genes related to the survival.The STRING database was used to construct a protein-protein interaction(PPI)network,and core genes were selected based on PPI.KEGG enrichment analysis was performed on the selected core genes with more than 5 nodes.Lasso regression analysis was applied to identify ESCRT-related genes more closely related to the prognosis of OS patients.Results A total of 1 486 ESCRT-related genes were identified,of which 164 were associated with the survival.CLTC,MYC,INSR,PTPN1,and TNFRSF1A were identified as core genes related to the prognosis of OS patients.OS patients were randomly divided into a training set(n=44)and a validation set(n=44).In the training set,OS patients in the high-risk group had the significantly shorter overall survival than those in the low-risk group(P<0.05),and the similar results were obtained in the validation set(P<0.01).The ROC(receiver operating characteristic)curve showed an AUC of 0.846 in the training set and 0.877 in the validation set.Prognostic survival analysis and differential analysis of core genes revealed no difference in MYC between high-and low-risk groups in the validation set,and no difference in INSR in the training set.In the overall dataset,all prognostic core genes showed significant differences(P<0.05).Survival analysis of core genes using the R package Survival showed significant differences in survival rates for four genes(CLTC,INSR,PTPN1,TNFRSF1A)except MYC(P>0.05).Univariate independent prognostic analysis identified three genes(TNFRSF1A,PTPN1,MYC)associated with OS survival.Multivariate independent prognostic analysis ultimately identified two key genes(TNFRSF1A,PTPN1)as independent factors influencing OS survival prognosis and closely related to OS patient survival.Conclusion A risk scoring model for OS survival prognosis based on the expression of two key genes,TNFRSF1A and PTPN1,was been successfully constructed using bioinformatics and it can provide more options for clinical treatment and survival prognosis assessment of OS.

OBJECTIVE: To systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of thalidomide combined with conventional chemotherapy in the treatment of advanced gastric cancer, and to provide evidence-based reference for clinical drug use. METHODS: Retrieved from PubMed, Embase, Cochrane library, CNKI, Wanfang database and VIP, RCTs about thalidomide combined with conventional chemotherapy (observation group) vs. conventional chemotherapy (control group) in the treatment of advanced gastric cancer were collected. After data extraction and quality evaluation of included literatures with Cochrane system evaluator manual 5.0 risk evaluation tool, Meta-analysis was conducted by using Rev Man 5.3 statistical software. The evidence qualities of outcome indexes were evaluated by using Grade evidence quality classification system. RESULTS: A total of 13 studies were included, involving 761 patients. Results of Meta-analysis showed that the total response rate [OR=1.72, 95%CI(1.29,2.31),P=0.000 2], complete remission rate [OR=1.90,95%CI(1.05,3.44),P=0.03], disease control rate [OR=2.66, 95%CI(1.92,3.68),P<0.001], improvement rate of survival quality [OR=3.09, 95%CI(1.82,5.24),P<0.001] and the incidence of constipation [OR=2.64, 95%CI(1.74,4.01),P<0.001] of observation group were significantly higher than those of control group, while disease progression rate [OR=0.39, 95%CI (0.28,0.54), P<0.001] and the incidence of nausea and vomiting [OR=0.32, 95%CI(0.18,0.56), P<0.001] of observation group were significantly lower than those of control group. Results of quality evaluation of Grade evidence showed that total response rate, complete remission rate, the incidence of leucopenia, thrombocytopenia, hemoglobin reduction and liver dysfunction were recommended for advanced evidence. Disease control was recommended for moderate-level evidence. The incidence of disease progression, peripheral neuritis, nausea and vomiting, diarrhea, constipation and hand-foot syndrome were recommended for low-level evidence. Improvement rate of survival was recommended for very low-level evidence. CONCLUSIONS: Thalidomide combined with conventional chemotherapy show significant therapeutic efficacy for advanced gastric cancer, can improve the quality of life but increase the risk of constipation.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the applicability of Singapore Ministry of Manpower( MOM) risk model and MES model in risk assessment of occupational health hazard caused by chemical poisons in shoemaking enterprises. METHODS: A medium-sized shoemaking enterprise in Guangzhou City was selected as the research object to carry out on-the-spot investigation of occupational health,measure the level of chemical hazards in the air of the workplace. Occupational health risk assessment of chemical toxins in the workplace was conducted using the MOM model and the MES model,and the results of the two evaluations were compared. RESULTS: The occupational chemical hazards in workplace of the shoemaking enterprise mainly included the toluene,xylene,ethyl acetate,butyl acetate,n-hexane,and 1,2-dichloroethan( 1,2-DCE). The concentration-time weighted average( CTWA) of 1,2-DCE at the stitching post,methylbenzene at the brush coating post and ethyl acetate at the cleaning post exceeded occupational exposure limits. The MOM model assessment results showed that methylbenzene was of high risk and 1,2-DCE was of medium risk in brush coating post. n-Hexane and1,2-DCE were of medium risk in stitching post. Ethyl acetate and 1,2-DCE was of medium risk in cleaning post. The results of the MES model evaluation showed that the risk level of n-hexane and 1,2-DCE used in sticking,brush coating and cleaning posts was extremely high and the remaining chemicals were highly dangerous. CONCLUSION: Both MOM model and MES model can easily predict and assess the occupational health risk of various posts in shoemaking enterprises to some extent. The assessment result of MES model is more practical than that of MOM model.
