Objective:To analyze the real-world effectiveness and safety of tofacitinib in the treatment of alopecia ophiasis, and to compare characteristics of patients with different clinical responses.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted on patients with alopecia ophiasis who visited the Department of Dermatology, China-Japan Friendship Hospital from March 1, 2022, to July 31, 2023. All patients received tofacitinib in combination with topical minoxidil or glucocorticoids, intralesional glucocorticoid injections, oral isotretinoin, antidepressants, antihistamines, traditional Chinese medicine, etc., and were followed up for 36 weeks. The primary outcome was the number of patients achieving complete remission and partial remission at week 36; secondary outcomes included the number of patients achieving a severity of alopecia tool (SALT) score of ≤ 20 points and those with a response rate of ≥ 50% in scalp hair regrowth (SALT50) . Clinical characteristics were compared between patients who achieved and did not achieve a SALT score of ≤ 20 points. Comparisons among groups were performed using the two-independent-sample t test, Mann-Whitney U test, and Fisher's exact test. Results:A total of 21 patients with alopecia ophiasis were collected, and all received oral tofacitinib citrate at a dose of 5 mg twice daily for at least 36 weeks. After a 36-week follow-up, 2 patients (9.5%) achieved complete remission, 16 (76.2%) achieved partial remission, and 3 (14.3%) showed no response. SALT50 was achieved in 12 patients (57.1%) , and 13 (61.9%) had a SALT score of ≤ 20 points. Adverse reactions included mild liver transaminase elevation (1 case) , headache (1 case) , and folliculitis (2 cases) . At week 36, the patients achieving a SALT score of ≤ 20 points exhibited significantly decreased proportions of patients with body hair loss (7/13) and of patients with childhood-onset alopecia ophiasis (7/13) compared with those having a SALT score of > 20 points (both 8/8, both P = 0.046) . However, there were no significant differences between the above two groups in gender, age, body mass index, total disease duration, baseline SALT scores, positivity rates of thyroid antibodies or prevalence of total allergen-specific IgE abnormalities (all P > 0.05) . Conclusion:Combination therapy with tofacitinib showed generally good efficacy and safety in the treatment of alopecia ophiasis, and poorer outcomes were likely to be observed in patients with body hair involvement and childhood-onset alopecia ophiasis.

Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) accounts for about 15% in lung cancer and is highly malignant, heterogeneous and invasive. Etoposide combined with platinum-based chemotherapy is the basis of standard first-line treatment for extensive-stage SCLC, but suffers from the problem of susceptibility to drug resistance and relapse. In recent years, the emergence of new immunological drugs and novel cytotoxic drugs has improved the survival of SCLC patients to a certain extent, especially bringing therapeutic hope to patients with relapsed/refractory SCLC. In this paper, we review the current clinical drug regimens and the new progress of potential target drug therapeutic regimens for the treatment of SCLC. At present, the first-, second- and third-line schemes of SCLC include etoposide+carboplatin, atezolizumab+etoposide+platinum, adebrelimab, topotecan, docetaxel, etc.; the current drug targets for the treatment of SCLC mainly focus on topoisomerase Ⅱ/Ⅰ, DNA, the immune checkpoint molecules programmed death-1/programmed death-ligand 1, tubulin, etc. The potential target drug therapeutic options include alisertib+ paclitaxel, rovalpituzumab, APG-1252, etc., and mainly focus on DNA damage response pathways and immune pathways, which can achieve the prolongation of patient survival by exerting anti-tumor effects through aurora kinase A and other potential targets.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical efficacy of C-type endoscopic submucosal dissection (C-ESD) for rectal neuroendocrine tumors (NEN).Methods:The retrospective analysis was performed on data of 55 patients who underwent ESD for rectal NEN at the Department of Endoscopy in Quanzhou First Hospital from January 2018 to July 2021. Patients were divided into the C-ESD group ( n=28) and the conventional ESD group ( n=27). The dissection time, the dissection speed, the number of submucosal injections, the enbloc resection rate, the curative resection rate and the rate of postoperative complications of the two groups were compared. Results:There were no statistically significant differences in basic information between the two groups ( P>0.05). The dissection time was 13.8±4.2 min in the C-ESD group and 19.9±3.9 min in the conventional ESD group with statistically significant difference ( t=5.649, P<0.001). The dissection speed in the C-ESD group was 0.08±0.04 cm 2/min, which was faster than 0.06±0.04 cm 2/min in the conventional ESD group ( t=2.218, P=0.031). The number of submucosal injections in the C-ESD group was less than that in the conventional ESD group [2 (1, 2) VS 3 (2, 3), Z=-8.701, P<0.001]. The lesions were enbloc resected in both groups. The curative resection rate in the C-ESD group was 100.0% (28/28) and 88.9% (24/27) in the conventional ESD group with statistically significant difference ( P=0.011). There were 7 cases of postoperative complications in the conventional ESD group, including 1 delayed bleeding, 5 delayed perforation and 1 muscularis propria injury, while no postoperative complications occurred in the C-ESD group ( P=0.004). Conclusion:C-ESD is a safe and effective treatment strategy for colorectal NEN, which can shorten the dissection time, improve the dissection speed, reduce the number of submucosal injections, improve the curative resection rate, and reduce complications.

Lipid homeostasis is considered to be related to intestinal metabolic balance, while its role in the pathogenesis and treatment of ulcerative colitis (UC) remains largely unexplored. The present study aimed to identify the target lipids related to the occurrence, development and treatment of UC by comparing the lipidomics of UC patients, mice and colonic organoids with the corresponding healthy controls. Here, multi-dimensional lipidomics based on LC-QTOF/MS, LC-MS/MS and iMScope systems were constructed and used to decipher the alteration of lipidomic profiles. The results indicated that UC patients and mice were often accompanied by dysregulation of lipid homeostasis, in which triglycerides and phosphatidylcholines were significantly reduced. Notably, phosphatidylcholine 34:1 (PC34:1) was characterized by high abundance and closely correlation with UC disease. Our results also revealed that down-regulation of PC synthase PCYT1α and Pemt caused by UC modeling was the main factor leading to the reduction of PC34:1, and exogenous PC34:1 could greatly enhance the fumarate level via inhibiting the transformation of glutamate to N-acetylglutamate, thus exerting an anti-UC effect. Collectively, our study not only supplies common technologies and strategies for exploring lipid metabolism in mammals, but also provides opportunities for the discovery of therapeutic agents and biomarkers of UC.

ObjectiveTo analyze the quality of life and related factors in patients with depression, and to provide evidence for formulating the corresponding measures to improve the patients' quality of life. MethodsA total of 117 inpatients who met the International Classification of Diseases, tenth edition(ICD-10) for depression were selected in Central People's Hospital of Zhanjiang, Affiliated Hospital of Guangdong Medical University and Guangdong 999 Brain Hospital from November 19, 2018 to September 7, 2019. The values of patients' clinical objective indicators consisted of routine blood test, routine urine examination, blood biochemical tests and blood gas analysis were collected by reviewing their medical records, and all subjects were assessed using Quality of Life Instruments for Chronic Diseases-Depression V2.0 [QLICD-DE(V2.0)]. Simple correlation analysis was used to explore the correlation between the QLICD-DE (V2.0) scores and various clinical objective indicators, and multiple linear regression was adopted to further screen factors affecting quality of life of patients with depression. ResultsSimple correlation analysis suggested that QLICD-DE (V2.0) total score was positively correlated with total protein and platelet distribution width in patients with depression (r=0.198, 0.281, P<0.05 or 0.01), and negatively correlated with hematocrit (r=-0.300, P<0.01). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that albumin-to-globulin ratio and treatment compliance (B=-19.836, -3.711, P<0.05 or 0.01) were influential factors for physical function. Platelet distribution width (B=2.706, P<0.01) was an influential factor for psychological function. Bilirubin (B=-6.375, P<0.05) was an influential factor for social function. Platelet distribution width (B=2.101, P<0.05) was an influencing factor for specific module. The albumin-to-globulin ratio and platelet distribution width (B=-10.653, 2.114, P<0.05 or 0.01) were influencing factors for total score of QLICD-DE (V2.0). ConclusionTreatment compliance and clinical objective indicators platelet distribution width, bilirubin and albumin-to-globulin ratio may be the influencing factors of quality of life in patients with depression.
