Objective:To explore and compare the value of radiomic features based on 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET and CT in distinguishing epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation status in patients with lung adenocarcinoma. Methods:Pretreatment 18F-FDG PET/CT images and EGFR gene status of 114 patients (64 males and 50 females, aged range: 35-84 (average age: 61) years) with primary lung adenocarcinoma between January 2017 and December 2017 were retrospectively collected. The volume of interest was drawn manually slice by slice, then the features were extracted by the LIFEx software. The parameters were screened by least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) method for 200 times, and ten-fold cross-validation was used to select the best tuning parameter λ. Three models, namely M PET, M CT, M PET+ CT, were constructed by binary logistic stepwise regression. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was generated and the corresponding area under the curve (AUC), sensitivity, specificity and accuracy were calculated. The AUCs of three models were compared by Delong test. Results:Totally, 53.51%(61/114) patients were with wild type EGFR and 46.49%(53/114) patients had EGFR mutation. There were 3, 3, 7 parameters selected to form M PET, M CT, M PET+ CT, respectively. The AUCs for M PET, M CT, M PET+ CT were 0.730, 0.752 and 0.866 respectively. When the cut-off values were 0.427, 0.522, 0.378 for M PET, M CT and M PET+ CT, the Youden index were up to the maximum as 0.420, 0.405, 0.630, with sensitivities of 83.0%(44/53), 58.5%(31/53), 92.5%(49/53), specificities of 59.0%(36/61), 82.0%(50/61), 70.5%(43/61) and accuracies of 70.2%(80/114), 71.1%(81/114), 80.7%(92/114), respectively. There was no significant difference between AUC of M PET and M CT ( z=-0.320, P>0.05). The differences of AUCs between M PET+ CT and M PET, M PET+ CT and M CT were statistically significant ( z values: 2.963, 2.523, both P<0.05). Conclusions:PET, CT and PET+ CT radiomic features are all associated with EGFR gene expression in lung adenocarcinoma. M PET+ CT has the highest predictive efficiency.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety profile of ixazomib/lenalidomide/dexamethasone (IRd) in Chinese patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (MM) .Methods:This study comprising 14 medical centers in China included patients with relapsed/refractory MM who received at least. Ixazomib at an initial oral dose of 4 mg was administered. Seven patients had dose adjustment to 3 mg at the time of first dose. The lenalidomide doses were adjusted according to creatinine clearance rate. The efficacy and safety were evaluated every cycle.Results:In the study cohort of 74 patients, the median age was 65 years and 11 (14.9% ) patients received over three lines of therapy. Overall response rate (ORR) was 54.1% (40/74) , and 7 (9.5% ) , 14 (18.9% ) , and 19 (25.7% ) patients achieved stringent complete response or complete response, very good partial response, and partial response, respectively. The median progression-free survival and overall survival were 9.9 and 20 months, respectively. The median time to response was 1 month. The efficacy and survival outcome were similar to those reported in the Tourmaline-MM1 China Continuous Study. The ORR of patients refractory to bortezomib, lenalidomide, and bortezomib plus lenalidomide were 52.0% (13/25) , 57.1% (4/7) , and 33.3% (6/18) , respectively. The rate of grade 3-4 adverse events was 36.5% (27/74) . Common hematological toxicities were anemia, thrombocytopenia, lymphopenia, and neutropenia. Common non-hematological toxicities were fatigue, gastrointestinal symptoms, and infections. Two cases of grade 3 peripheral neuropathy were reported. The patients eligible for the Tourmaline-MM1 China Continuous Study had a higher ORR than the ineligible patients [77.8% (14/18) vs 46.4% (26/56) , P=0.020]. There was no difference in the rate of grade 3-4 adverse events [33.3% (6/18) vs 37.5% (21/56) , P=0.749]. Conclusion:The IRd regimen had good efficacy and acceptable toxicity in Chinese patients with relapsed/refractory MM.

With continuous discovery of tumor immune targets and continuous changes in antibody research and development technology, antibody drugs are becoming more and more widely used in clinical practice. However, some targets are not only expressed on tumor cells, but also on red blood cells. Therefore, the clinical application of antibodies against the corresponding targets may interfere with the detection of blood transfusion compatibility, resulting in difficulty in blood matching or delay of blood transfusion. This consensus summarizes the current solutions for the interference of CD38 monoclonal antibody (CD38 mAb) in transfusion compatibility testing. After analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of different methods, polybrene and sulfhydryl reducing agents [dithiothreitol (DTT) or 2-mercaptoethanol (2-Me)], as a solution for CD38 mAb interference in blood compatibility testing, are recommended for Chinese patients, so as to eliminate blood transfusion interference produce by CD38 mAb and further provide a pre-transfusion workflow for clinicians and technicians in Department of Blood Transfusion.

【Objective】 To evaluate the performance of absorption and elution test and real time PCR in identifying ABO blood group. 【Methods】 The blood samples with weakened antibody expression serologically were screened and analyzed by absorption and elution test, real time PCR and gene sequencing. The gene sequencing results were used as the gold standard to assess the consistency of the other two methods, and the sensitivity and specificity were compared. 【Results】 Compared with the sequencing results (gold standard), absorption and elution test showed moderate consistency, while real time PCR showed good consistency. Both the sensitivity and specificity of absorption and elution test and real time PCR were statistically different. 【Conclusion】 There was a good agreement between real time PCR and gene sequencing in identifying suspicious ABO blood group with weakened antibody expression serologically. Real time PCR, with a low misjudgment rate, has strong ability to detect weak antigen and is more conducive to identify blood type compared with absorption and elution test.

Objective:To explore the eye movement characteristics of social cognitive processing in schizophrenia patients across different stages and its association with clinical symptoms.Methods:Fifteen patients with first-episode schizophrenia, forty-six patients with chronic inpatient schizophrenia, thirty-six patients with psychiatric clinical high-risk syndrome, and twenty-six healthy controls were recorded using eye tracking technology when viewing social interaction pictures. Covariance analysis and partial correlation analysis were conducted by SPSS17.0.Results:When watching the pictures of person communication, there were statistically significant differences in the average fixation duration of the four groups of subjects ((294.6±36.7)ms in control group, (280.0±54.0)ms in clinical high-risk group, (268.5±34.9)ms in first-episode group, and (315.7±75.7) ms in chronic group, respectively, F=3.18, P=0.027). When viewing the pictures of no person landscape, the average saccade amplitude of the four groups of subjects was significantly different (5.3±1.1) ° in control group, (4.7±1.1) ° in clinical high-risk group, (5.2±1.0) ° in first-episode group, and (4.4±1.2) ° in chronic group, respectively, F=3.37, P=0.021). The average fixation duration of chronic patients when observing person communication pictures was positively correlated with the total score of PANSS (partial correlation coefficient=0.313, P=0.039). The average fixation duration of chronic patients when observing the other two types of pictures were also positively correlated with the total score of PANSS (partial correlation coefficient=0.320, P=0.034, no person communication pictures; partial correlation coefficient=0.372, P=0.013, no person landscape pictures) . The average fixation duration of chronic patients when observing pictures of no person landscape was positively correlated with the PANSS positive symptom score (partial correlation coefficient=0.321, P=0.034). The average fixation duration of chronic patients when observing any type of picture was positively correlated with the PANSS general symptom score (person communication pictures: partial correlation coefficient=0.385, P=0.010; no person communication pictures: partial correlation coefficient=0.409, P=0.006; no person landscape pictures: partial correlation coefficient=0.465, P=0.001). In the first-episode patient, the average saccade amplitude when observing no person communication pictures was positively correlated with the PANSS positive symptom score (partial correlation coefficient=0.555, P=0.049). In the clinical high-risk group, the average saccade amplitude when observing person communication pictures was negatively correlated with the SOPS positive symptom score (partial correlation coefficient=-0.373, P=0.030). Conclusion:There are statistically significant differences of eye movement characteristics of social cognitive processing in patients with schizophrenia across different clinical stages.The average saccade amplitude is more sensitive than the average fixation duration in predicting the severity of symptoms in clinical high-risk patients.
