Purpose:
This study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of gemcitabine and cisplatin (GP) regimen in combination with immune checkpoint inhibitor sintilimab as neoadjuvant therapy for muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) patients and the feasibility of the following selective bladder sparing surgery.
Materials and Methods:
Patients with histopathologically confirmed urothelial carcinoma without distant metastases (T2-4a, N ≤ 1, M0, American Joint Committee of Cancer 8th) and with adequate organ function will be enrolled. The therapeutic regimen was sintilimab 200 mg once on day 8, gemcitabine 1,000 mg/m2 and cisplatin 35 mg/m2 once on days 1 and 8, every 21 days for four cycles. The primary endpoint was pathologic complete response (pCR, pT0N0) rate. The secondary end points were ypT < 2 rate, R0 resection rate, event-free survival, and safety.
Results:
From May 4, 2020, to May 20, 2023, 55 patients were enrolled. Forty-six patients were evaluated for efficacy. Among the 42 patients who underwent surgery, 16 patients (38.0%) achieved pCR. Thirty-three patients (78.6%) achieved pT < 2. With a median follow-up of 15.7 months, the 1-year event-free survival was 91.3%. Notwithstanding the poor pathological baseline characteristic of a high T3-T4a proportion (39.1%), a promising bladder preservation (including 22 patients transurethral resection of bladder tumor, 5 patients partial cystectomy, and 4 surveillances) rate was achieved (67.4%). The most common grade ≥ 3 treatment-related adverse events was neutropenia (n=15, 27.3%), which was related to chemotherapy. There were no grade 3 immune-related adverse events.
Conclusion
Neoadjuvant GP plus sintilimab is a promising regimen for MIBC patients, with relatively high pT < 2 rate and triggering the emerging roles for the multi-disciplinary team decision-making for bladder sparing surgery.

6.Relationship between human symbiotic microbiota and the occurrence and development of glaucoma
Chinese Journal of Experimental Ophthalmology 2025;43(9):876-880
Human commensal microbiota exists in the gastrointestinal tract, oral cavity, ocular surface, and intraocular organs.Gastrointestinal commensal microbiota can cause glaucomatous optic nerve damage through autoimmune injury mechanisms, inflammation, or oxidative stress.The imbalance of intestinal microbiota represented by Helicobacter pylori infection may affect the function of trabecular cells by releasing inflammatory mediators and vasoactive substances.The resulting active metabolites affect the oxidative stress and apoptosis of trabecular cells.Autoimmune activation of glial cells leads to apoptosis of retinal ganglion cells.The imbalance of oral symbiotic microbiota can mediate the activation of microglia in the retina and optic nerve and the loss of retinal ganglion cells through the body's immune response.Bacterial products' toxic effects lead to optic nerve degeneration and induce chronic subclinical systemic inflammatory vascular endothelial cell dysfunction resulting in optic nerve damage.Ocular surface commensal microbiota mainly causes optic nerve damage through immune response, but whether it is related to intraocular diseases such as glaucoma remains to be studied.The imbalance of intraocular symbiotic microbiota is a specific characteristic of glaucoma.The changes in the intraocular immune microenvironment caused by intraocular microbiota may involve the complex effects of multiple inflammatory mediators and multiple molecular pathways.This article reviews the recent research in these areas, the extraocular, ocular surface, and intraocular symbiotic microbiota and their metabolites may directly or indirectly play a specific role in the pathogenesis of glaucoma.The comprehensive study and analysis of the microbiome of each part of the same individual in the future will provide a new angle to explore the cause and pathogenesis of glaucoma and provide new research ideas for the diagnosis and treatment of glaucoma.

8.The predicament and ethical considerations of helping students with mental disorders in college psychological counseling
Chinese Medical Ethics 2025;38(6):765-770
As an important department to solve students’ daily psychological problems, the mental health counseling center in colleges and universities often results in many practical dilemmas due to the mismatch between the duty limitation and professional ability when facing the help of students with mental disorders. From the perspective of ethics, this paper discusses the difficulties in campus management, responsibility allocation and responsibility clarificationfaced by the school in dealing with student autonomy, home-school coordination, and properly settling the students returning to school. In order to alleviate ethical conflicts and provide some reference for colleges and universities to intervene and help students with mental disorders, the author tries to implement improvement measures by adhering to the concept of rehabilitation to improve autonomy, treating family members as help objects, establishing a complete system and sound regulations, and conducting joint efforts and supportive intervention assistance. This can alleviate ethical conflicts and provide certain references for the practice of colleges and universities’ intervention and assistance in dealing with students with mental disorders.
9.Epidemiological characteristics and trends of other infectious diarrhea among children during 2014-2020
Chinese Journal of School Health 2025;46(7):922-925
Objective:
To analyze the epidemiological characteristics and trends of other infectious diarrhea among children under 18 years old in Guangzhou City from 2014 to 2020, and to explore the correlation between climatic factors and the incidence of the disease, so as to provide reference for the early prevention of infectious diseases.
Methods:
The data of cases of other infectious diarrhea and meteorological data of children under 18 years old in Guangzhou City from 2014 to 2020 were collected through the Chinese Infectious Disease Reporting System and the Guangzhou Meteorological Bureau. The correlation between meteorological factors and the incidence of other infectious diarrhea was analyzed using negative binomial regression.
Results:
A total of 104 566 cases of other infectious diarrhea among children under 18 years old were reported in Guangzhou City from 2014 to 2020, with a male to female ratio of 1.48∶1. The incidence rate was the highest in 2017 (980.83 per 100 000) and the lowest in 2020 (388.22 per 100 000). The peak of incidence occurred from October to March of the following year. Children under 5 years old accounted for 87.95% of all cases. The number of cases of other infectious diarrhea was negatively correlated with the temperature of the previous 6 days ( IRR = -0.07 ), and positively correlated with the temperature difference on the day of onset ( IRR =0.02) (both P <0.05). It was also positively correlated with the wind speed of the previous 7 days ( IRR=0.07, P <0.05), but there was no statistically significant correlation with the relative humidity on the day of onset ( IRR=-0.00, P >0.05).
Conclusions
Low temperature, large temperature difference, and high wind speed can increase the risk of other infectious diarrhea. It is necessary to strengthen the prediction and early warning in conjunction with meteorological changes, and warn kindergartens and schools to enhance preventive measures against the clustering of other infectious diarrhea cases.
