BACKGROUND: Poly adenosine-diphosphate-ribose polymerase (PARP) inhibitors (PARPi) have been approved to act as first-line maintenance (FL-M) therapy and as platinum-sensitive recurrent maintenance (PSR-M) therapy for ovarian cancer in China for >5 years. Herein, we have analyzed the clinical-application characteristics of olaparib and niraparib in ovarian cancer-maintenance therapy in a real-world setting to strengthen our understanding and promote their rational usage. METHODS: A retrospective chart review identified patients with newly diagnosed or platinum-sensitive recurrent ovarian cancer, who received olaparib or niraparib as maintenance therapy at Sichuan Cancer Hospital between August 1, 2018, and December 31, 2021. Patient medical records were reviewed. We grouped and analyzed patients based on the type of PARPi they used (the olaparib group and the niraparib group) and the line of PARPi maintenance therapy (the FL-M setting and the PSR-M setting). The primary endpoint was the 24-month progression-free survival (PFS) rate. RESULTS: In total, 131 patients (olaparib: n = 67, 51.1%; niraparib: n = 64, 48.9%) were enrolled. Breast cancer susceptibility genes ( BRCA ) mutations ( BRCA m) were significantly less common in the niraparib group than in the olaparib group [9.4% (6/64) vs . 62.7% (42/67), P <0.001], especially in the FL-M setting [10.4% (5/48) vs . 91.4% (32/35), P <0.001]. The 24-month progression-free survival (PFS) rates in the FL-M and PSR-M settings were 60.4% and 45.7%, respectively. In patients with BRCA m, the 24-month PFS rates in the FL-M and PSR-M settings were 62.2% and 72.7%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Olaparib and niraparib were effective in patients with ovarian cancer without any new safety signals except for skin pigmentation. In patients with BRCA m, the 24-month PFS of the PARPi used in the PSR-M setting was even higher than that used in the FL-M setting.

Immune checkpoint inhibitors have significantly improved the prognosis of patients with mela-noma,but primary and acquired resistance have led to a bottleneck in treatment.The binding of T-cell receptors to tumor antigens is the key point for immunotherapy.Neoantigens are newly formed antigens generated by tumor cells as a result of various tumor-specific alterations.Neoantigens,identifiable as foreign entities,have the capacity to initiate an immune response unfettered by central and peripheral tolerance mechanisms.This distinctive characteristic renders them highly promising targets in the realm of cancer therapy.Vaccines targeting tumor neoantigens,adoptive cell transfer,and antibody-based therapies can effectively enhance and expand tumor-specific immune responses,promoting T-cell recognition and elimination of tumors,thereby breaking through current treatment bottlenecks.This article discusses the current status,recent advancements,clinical challenges,and future direc-tions in the personalized treatment of melanoma based on neoantigens.

Objectives:To investigate the early related factors for hepatic insufficiency after hemihepatectomy and to construct and validate a nomogram model.Methods:This is a retrospective cohort study.There were 207 patients with liver tumor who underwent hemihepatectomy in the Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery, Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences from October 2016 to December 2022. Using the random number method, patients were randomly divided into a model group( n=166) and a validation group( n=41) according to an 4∶1 ratio. There were 118 males and 48 females in the modeling group,with an age ( M(IQR)) of 59.0(13.3) years (range: 22.0 to 81.0 years),42 patients in the group with postoperative liver insufficiency and 124 patients in the group without postoperative liver insufficiency. There were 32 males and 9 females in the validation group, with an age of 54.0(19.0) years (range: 25.0 to 81.0 years). The first results of the peripheral blood test of patients within 24 hours after surgery were collected,and the independent related factors for incomplete postoperative liver function were determined by multivariate Logistic regression analysis,and related factors of postoperative incomplete liver function were screened by best subset selection. A nomogram model of the related factors of postoperative hepatic insufficiency after hemihepatectomy was constructed using R software,validated by internal and external validation of the model. Results:Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that elevated D-dimer level and decreased antithrombin Ⅲ (AT-Ⅲ) activity within 24 hours after surgery were independent related factors for the development of postoperative hepatic insufficiency in hemihepatectomized patients. The results of the best subset selection showed that ALT, D-dimer, and AT-Ⅲ activity levels within 24 hours postoperatively were the most relevant factors for postoperative hepatic insufficiency. The R software was applied to build a nomogram prediction model based on the above three indicators in the model set, and the receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curve of the model showed an area under the curve of 0.803 and the calibration curve showed a U-index of -0.012 for the model( P=0.977). The results of the clinical decision analysis and the clinical impact curve indicated that the model had good clinical utility. The internal validation results of the Bootstrap method suggested that the model had reasonable consistency. The area under the ROC curve of the validation group model was 0.806, suggesting that the model had a good generalization prediction ability. Conclusions:The levels of ALT, D-dimer, and AT-Ⅲ activity within 24 hours after hemihepatectomy are valuable indicators for predicting liver insufficiency after hemihepatectomy. The nomogram model is reliable and can be used as an indicator for close postoperative monitoring.

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of deep muscle stimulation on muscle structure and function in children with spastic cerebral palsy. MethodsFrom January, 2023 to March, 2024, 30 children with spastic cerebral palsy in Beijing Bo'ai Hospital were randomly divided into control group (n = 15) and intervention group (n = 15). Both groups received conventional rehabilitation therapy, while the intervention group added deep muscle stimulation, for four weeks. Before and after training, the gastrocnemius muscle was examined by ultrasound diagnosis system in two aspects: transverse incision and longitudinal incision. Indicators included fascicle length, muscular thickness, cross sectional area and pennation angle. The modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) was used to assess the muscle tension of the lower extremity of the affected side. The standing, walking, running and jumping function were evaluated by Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM) D and E areas. ResultsAfter training, the fascicule length and pennation angle improved significantly in both groups (|t| > 6.329, P < 0.001), and they were better in the intervention group than in the control group (|t| > 2.347, P < 0.05); the scores of MAS decreased in both groups (t > 2.432, P < 0.05), and were better in the intervention group than in the control group (t = 2.140, P < 0.05); the scores of GMFM D and E areas significantly decreased in both groups (|t| > 8.473, P < 0.001), and were better in the intervention group than in the control group (|t| > 2.191, P < 0.05). ConclusionDeep muscle stimulation could improve the fascicule length and pennation angle, and improve the spasticity and motor function of lower extremities in children with spastic cerebral palsy.

Rheumatic autoimmune diseases are chronic conditions affecting multiple systems,pre-dominantly occurring in young women of childbear-ing age.Given the nature of diseases and unique physiological changes during pregnancy,they may adversely impact pregnancy outcomes and endan-ger maternal and fetal health.In recent years,with the deepening of immunological research,biologi-cally targeted therapy has gradually become a fo-cus of attention in the treatment of rheumatic au-toimmune diseases in pregnancy.Biologics effec-tively alleviate disease symptoms,mitigate preg-nancy complications,and improve adverse preg-nancy outcomes by targeting pivotal inflammatory factors.The review systematically discusses the structure and pharmacokinetic characteristics of bi-ologics,and comprehensively reviews the current application and future prospects in managing rheu-matic autoimmune diseases in pregnancy based on their specific targets.It aims to provide scientific references and guidance on the safe administration of medications and therapeutic strategies for these patients,ultimately enhancing health outcomes for mothers and infants.

Objective This study aims to clarify the potential categories of mindfulness of psychiatric nurses through latent profile analysis and to analyse the influencing factors in order to provide a reference for the subsequent design of brief and targeted mindfulness interventions to reduce work stress and improve mental health of psychiatric nurses.Methods 300 psychiatric nurses from a mental health center in Liaoning Province were selected by convenience sampling method to investigate the level of mindfulness through a general demographic questionnaire(gender,age,marital status,educational background,illness,etc.)and the short version of the Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire(FFMQ-SF).SPSS Statistics 21.0 was used for descriptive statistics and correlation analysis of variables,and Mplus was used for latent profile analysis(LPA)to explore the potential categories of mindfulness characteristics of psychiatric nurses.The categorized data were subjected to χ2 test and one-way ANOVA to compare the demographic information and differences in mindfulness levels among nurses in different categories,and multifactorial logistic regression was used to analyze the factors affecting the categories of mindfulness characteristics of psychiatric nurses.Results A total of 300 psychiatric nurses were included in the study,with a mean age of 37.98±9.84 years and a mean total mindfulness score of 67.27±7.43.The psychiatric nurses could be categorized into four groups according to their level of mindfulness:the high mindfulness group(38.0%),the nonjudgmental group(36.3%),the judgmental low awareness(5.0%),and the observationally described group(20.7%).Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that,compared with the high mindfulness group,nurses with younger age had a greater likelihood of being in the nonjudgmental group and the judgmental low awareness group;nurses with heavy workload had a greater likelihood of being in the nonjudgmental group;nurses with a monthly income of≤5000 yuan had a greater likelihood of being in the observational descriptive group;and nurses with underlying diseases had a greater likelihood of being in the nonjudgmental group and the observational descriptive group.There were also differences in the total level of mindfulness and the five subdimension scores for nurses in different mindfulness categories.Conclusion There were four potential categories of psychiatric nurses characteristics of mindfulness.Age,gender,monthly income,underlying illness,and workload were all factors that influenced the classification of psychiatric nurses into the high mindfulness group.
