Objective:To evaluate the efficacy, safety, and prognostic factors of transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) combined with molecular targeted therapy (MTT) and camrelizumab in patients with unresectable recurrent hepatocellular carcinoma (urHCC).Methods:Clinical data of 83 patients with urHCC treated at the First Affiliated Hospital of the University of Science and Technology of China between October 2018 and October 2023 were retrospectively analyzed, including 75 males and 8 females, aged (55.2±10.7) years. Among them, 43 patients received TACE combined with MTT and camrelizumab (observation group), while 40 received TACE combined with MTT alone (control group). Kaplan-Meier curves were plotted to compare overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) between the groups. Treatment response was assessed according to the mRECIST criteria, and objective response rate (ORR) and disease control rate (DCR) were compared. Adverse events (AEs) were monitored in both groups.Results:The observation group demonstrated longer median OS (31.8 vs 19.9 months, χ2=11.26, P=0.001) and median PFS (14.5 vs 7.4, months, χ2=4.08, P=0.043) compared to the control group. The ORR and DCR in the observation group were 51.2% (22/43) and 90.1% (39/43), respectively, both higher than those in the control group [25.0% (10/40) and 70.0% (28/40), respectively]. The differences were statistically significant ( χ2=5.99, 5.71; P=0.023, 0.025; respectively). Multivariate Cox analysis showed that different treatment regimens were influencing factors for post-treatment survival in patients with urHCC (control group vs treatment group: HR=2.633, 95% CI: 1.483- 4.677, P<0.001), as well as for PFS (control group vs treatment group: HR=1.781, 95% CI: 1.116-2.842, P=0.015). No treatment-related deaths or unexpected AEs occurred in either group. The most common systemic therapy-related AE was hand-foot syndrome, observed in 15 patients (34.9%, 15/43) in the observation group and 9 (22.5%, 9/40) in the control group ( χ2=1.55, P=0.236). Conclusions:Compared to TACE combined with MTT alone, TACE combined with MTT and camrelizumab demonstrates superior efficacy and acceptable safety in treating unresectable recurrent HCC.

Objective To explore changes of blood anterior pituitary hormone and its related factors in patients with severe traumatic brain injury (TBI).Methods 113 patients diagnosed as severe TBI and met criterions were collected from Jun.2010 to Aug.2015 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University.Clinical data such as age,gender,site of injury,epidural hematoma,subdural hematoma,basicranial fracture,injury time,Glasgow coma scale (GCS),middle line migration,diffuse axonal injury,brain hernia,traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage were collected and recorded.Univariatex2 test and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to explore risk factors for changes of blood anterior pituitary hormone.Results Abnormal secretion of the anterior pituitary occurred in 48 patients.10 cases had one kind of abnormal hormone secretion,while 38 cases had 2 and more than 2 kinds of abnormal hormone secretion.GH level decreased in 20 cases,TSH level decreased in 18 cases,FSH level decreased in 12 cases,PRL level increased in 10 cases,ACTH level decreased in 9 cases,and LH level decreased in 8 cases.Univariate x2 test revealed that basicranial fracture (P=0.006),middle line migration (P=0.007),GCS score (P=0.004),diffuse axonal injury (P=0.001),cerebral hernia (P=0.001),traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage (P=0.001) were factors related to abnormal pituitary hormone levels.Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that basicranial fracture (P=0.019),middle line migration (P=0.015),GCS score (P=0.024),diffuse axonal injury (P=0.008),cerebral hernia (P=0.001),traumatic subarachnoid (P=0.010) were factors related to abnormal pituitary hormone levels.Conclusions The rates of abnormal pituitary hormone level were higher in patients with severe TBI.The basicranial fracture,middle line migration,GCS score,diffuse axonal injury,cerebral hernia,traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage are factors related to abnormal pituitary hormone levels.

Objective To investigate the relationship between apolipoprotein E(Apo E) gene poly-morphism and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and e-valuate the correlative risk factors. Method 40 cases of type 2 diabetes with MCI and 80 cases of type 2 diabetes without MCI were enrolled in this study. The polymorphism of the Apo E gene was detected by PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism(PCR-RFLP). According to the clinical data such as course of disease, plasma glucose, plasma fat and body mass index (BMI), the independent risk factors of T2DM and MCI were analyzed by non-conditional logistic regression. Results The frequency of Apo E ε_4 allele in the group of type 2 diabetes with MCI was higher than that without MCI ( 25.0% vs 10. 0% ), and the difference had statistical significance( P < 0. 01 ). The indexes of the statistical significant difference be-twcen the two groups were age, course of disease, postprandial blood glucose ( P2BG), HBA1C, BMI,family history of T2DM, hypertension, diabetic retinopathy, diabetic peripheral neuropathy, Apo E gene. The independent risk factors included diabetic retinopathy ( OR = 3. 452, P < 0. 05 ), diabetic peripheral neuropathy( OR = 3. 252, P <0. 05), Ape E gene( OR = 2. 441, P < 0.01 ), HBA1C ( OR = 1. 372, P <0.05), P2BG(OR = 1. 194, P <0.05), age(OR = 1. 194, P <0.01) and course of disease(OR =1. 142, P <0. 05). Conclusion Apo E ε_4 allele has significant relationship with T2DM and MCI. The age, course of disease, control of plasma glucose, and microvascular complication of diabetes have relation-ship with the cognitive function.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α)-308A/G gene polymorphism and mild cognitive impairment(MCI)in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM),and their correlative risk factors thereof.Methods:Forty cases of T2DM with MCI and 80 cases of T2DM without MCI were selected for this study.The polymorphism of the TNF-α-308A/G was detected by PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP).According to the clinical data,such as course of disease,plasma glucose,plasma fat and body mass index(BMI),the independent risk factors of T2DM and MCI were analyzed by non-conditional logistic regression.Results:The frequency of TNF-α2 allele was significantly higher in the group of T2DM with MCI than that without MCI (P<0.01).The indexes of the statistical significant difference between the two groups were the age,course of disease,postprandial blood glucose(P2BG),glycosylated hemoglobin,body mass index,family history of T2DM,hypertension,diabetic retinopathy,diabetic peripheral neuropathy and TNF-α.The independent risk factors included TNF-α,diabetic peripheral neuropathy,diabetic retinopathy,age and P2BG.Conclusion:There is a significant relationship between TNF-α2 allele and T2DM with MCI.There is a significant relationship between the age,control of plasma glucose and microvaseular complication of T2DM with the cognitive funotion.
