Objective:To investigate the impact of different treatment sequences of immunotherapy combined with chemoradiotherapy (CRT) as the first-line therapy on the prognosis of patients with stage III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).Methods:Clinical data of 112 patients with stage III NSCLC treated at the Fourth Hospital of Hebei Medical University from January 2019 to December 2021 were retrospectively collected, with follow-up continued until December 31, 2023. According to the sequence of CRT and immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) therapy, patients were divided into 3 groups: ICIs simultaneous with CRT (sICR, n=20), chemotherapy combined with ICIs followed by CRT (CI-CR, n=53), and CRT followed by consolidative ICIs (CR-I, n=39). Analyses were performed before and after propensity score matching (PSM). Survival outcomes were assessed using the Kaplan-Meier method and compared by log-rank tests, and prognostic factors were identified through multivariate Cox regression analysis. Results:The median overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) for the entire cohort were 30.1 months (95% CI: 21.4-38.9) and 12.8 months (95% CI: 9.14-16.1), respectively. Before PSM: No significant differences were observed in OS and PFS among the 3 groups ( χ2=0.18, 1.05; P=0.669, 0.305). However, OS in the sICR and CR-I groups was significantly better than that in the CI-CR group ( χ2=4.43, 6.11; P=0.035, 0.013). After PSM: Each group included 17 patients. There were no significant differences in OS or PFS among the 3 groups ( χ2=2.50, 2.74; P=0.287, 0.254), and pairwise comparisons also showed no significant differences. Multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed that clinical stage ( HR=3.392, 95% CI: 1.215-9.470, P=0.020), number of immunotherapy cycles ( HR=0.312, 95% CI: 0.100-0.972, P=0.044), and treatment response ( HR=6.566, 95% CI: 1.705-25.284, P=0.006) were independent prognostic factors for OS. After PSM, the numbers of patients with grade ≥2 treatment-related adverse events were 13 in the sICR group, 10 in the CI-CR group, and 9 in the CR-I group, with no significant differences among them ( χ2=2.181, P=0.336). Conclusions:First-line immunotherapy combined with chemoradiotherapy showed favorable clinical efficacy in locally advanced NSCLC compared to other studies, but the treatment sequence did not significantly affect prognosis. It is recommended that immunotherapy be administered for at least four cycles.

Heatstroke,especially in high-temperature and high-humidity environments,is a life-threatening acute heat-injury disease that seriously endangers human health.Timely and effective on-site treatment is crucial for patients'survival and prognosis.Early recognition,rapid assessment,and on-site cooling are the core of pre-hospital treatment of heatstroke.Currently,there is a lack of standardized application procedures for pre-hospital emergency care of heatstroke.Therefore,the"Expert Consensus on Pre-hospital Emergency Management of Heatstroke(2024 edition)"was initiated by the Expert Group on Heatstroke Prevention of the People's Liberation Army and developed in collaboration with experts from local pre-hospital emergency care,emergency departments,and intensive care units.This consensus focuses on heatstroke prevention,on-site and ambulance-based treatment,and early emergency room interventions,and puts forward 10 evidence-based recommendations,aiming to provide a reference for scientific and standardized pre-hospital emergency care of heatstroke.

Objective To analyze dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) radiomic features using machine learning algorithms, and to develop and validate a predictive model for HER-2 status in breast cancer. Methods The DCE-MRI images of 272 treatment-naive female patients with breast cancer between 2020 and 2022 were included in this study. Regions of interest (ROIs) were manually segmented using 3d-Slicer software, and radiomic features were extracted. All patients were randomly divided into training sets or validation sets at a ratio of 4∶1. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) algorithm was used for feature screening on the training set, followed by the development of predictive models using six machine learning algorithms. Internal cross-validation was performed to compare the performance differences between the models. The best-performing model was selected, trained on the training set, and evaluated on the validation set. Evaluation metrics included area under the curve (AUC), sensitivity, specificity, precision, and recall rate. Results The clinical data of patients in the training set and validation set showed no significant differences. Five features were identified by the LASSO algorithm. With these features, six machine learning models were developed on the training set, and their predictive performance was internally cross-validated using the bagging method. XGBoost model had the highest mean AUC (0.696), followed by RF model (0.690); XGBoost model had the highest mean precision (0.756), followed by LR and RF models. Therefore, XGBoost was the optimal model. An HER-2 predictive model was built using the XGBoost algorithm on the training set and applied to the validation set. The AUC, precision, sensitivity, and specificity of the predictive model on the validation set were calculated, and ROC curves, precision-recall curves, calibration curves, and decision-making curves were plotted. Conclusion This study constructed and evaluated different DCE-MRI radiomics-based machine learning models for predicting HER-2 status in breast cancer. Among them, XGBoost algorithm performed the best and has the potential to become a new non-invasive method for preoperative prediction of HER-2 status, providing reliable evidence for personalized clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Objective To explore the effect and preliminary mechanism of the plant-derived immunostimulatory molecule,ophiopogonin,on enhancing the immune response of a subunit vaccine with the receptor-binding domain(RBD)of coronavirus spike protein as the antigen.Methods CCK-8 assay was used to determine the cytotoxicity of ophiopogonin D'(OPD')on bone marrow-derived dendritic cells(BMDCs).Female Balb/c mice were randomly divided into RBD,RBD/OPD',RBD/Alum,and control groups.The immunization dose was 5 μg of antigen per mouse and 100 μg of adjuvant per mouse,and immunization was carried out according to the intramuscular injection immunization procedure on days 0,21,and 42.The titers of specific IgG and its subtype antibodies were detected by ELISA.The cytokine levels in the supernatant of splenocytes were detected using ELISA.The number of splenocytes secreting IFN-γ was detected by ELISpot.Laser confocal microscopy was employed to observe the uptake of antigen by BMDCs.The phagocytic ability of BMDCs for antigen was quantitatively analyzed by flow cytometry.The mechanism of its enhanced immune effect was preliminarily explored using transcriptomics technology combined with bioinformatics research.Results When the concentration of OPD'was less than 5 μg/mL,the survival rate of BMDCs was 100%.After a single intramuscular injection in mice,except for a slight decrease in body weight,the other biochemical indicators were within corresponding normal ranges.After intramuscular injection immunization of the vaccine,the titers of serum-specific IgG,IgG1,and IgG2a in the RBD/OPD'group were significantly higher than those in the RBD group(P<0.05).Compared with the RBD group,the RBD/OPD'group induced a high-level Th1 cell immune response of IL-1β,TNF-α,and IFN-γ(P<0.01)and had more lymphocytes secreting IFN-γ(P<0.001).Laser confocal microscopy displayed that BMDCs took up more antigens after OPD'treatment,which was further confirmed with flow cytometry in quantitative analysis on antigen uptake rate(P<0.01).Transcriptomics results indicated that there was more significant enrichment of the PPAR signaling pathway in the RBD/OPD'group than the RBD group,suggesting that OPD'may activate the PPAR signaling pathway to exert its adjuvant effect.Conclusion OPD'effectively enhances the immune response of the RBD subunit vaccine,and its action mechanism may be related to the activation of the PPAR signaling pathway.

Objective To establish a mouse model of infection with the minimum lethal dose of Vibrio vulnificus(V.vulnificus)and to evaluate the protective efficacy of inactivated whole-cell(IWC)vaccine using this model.Methods A mouse model of lethal-dose infection was established by intraperitoneal injection of different doses of V.vulnificus.Bacterial colonization in the organs was detected with tissue homogenate plating,and pathological changes in the organs were observed after tissue section staining.Flow cytometry was used to detect immune cell responses after liver tissues were digested into single-cell suspension.IWC vaccine of V.vulnificus was prepared,and the mice were immunized through different routes to observe the protective efficacy of the vaccine.Results A mouse model of infection with the minimum lethal dose at 1×106 CFU of V.vulnificus was successfully established.After infection,the bacteria were mainly colonized in the liver of mice and caused severe pathological damages.Compared with the uninfected mice,the proportion of neutrophils in the liver was significantly increased in the infected mice,whereas the proportions of B cells and T cells were correspondingly decreased(P<0.05).A single intramuscular or intraperitoneal injection of the IWC vaccine could protect the mice effectively against lethal infection of V.vulnificus in 7 d later(P<0.01),although the level of serum IgG having no significant increase.Conclusion A mouse model of lethal-dose infection with V.vulnificus is successfully established,with histopathological characteristics.The IWC vaccine of V.vulnificus rapidly mediates immune protection in this model probably independent of IgG.

Autism spectrum disorder（ASD）is a multifactorial，pervasive neurodevelopmental disorder.As the morbidity rate of ASD in children increases year by year，feeding and eating behaviors，as an important and common clinical problem in children with ASD，are gaining more and more attention.Many children with ASD often have food selection issues，chewing problems，food allergy and related gastrointestinal symptoms，and even serious diseases such as eating disorders，which negatively impact on their growth and development.There are many factors affecting feeding and eating behavior problems in children with ASD，such as sensory processing，ritualistic eating behavior，gastrointestinal symptoms，age，and parenting pressure.There are also a variety of interventions that can help to improve feeding and eating behavior problems in children with ASD.Strengthening the understanding of these influencing factors and intervention treatment methods is beneficial for improving the quality of life in children with ASD.

Objective:To investigate the effectiveness, safety and feasibility of transumbilical laparoendoscopic single-site surgery (TU-LESS) for abdominal wall endometriosis (AWE) lesion resection.Methods:A total of 11 patients who underwent AWE lesion resection via TU-LESS at The First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from January 2022 to May 2024 were enrolled. The size, invasion depth of the lesion, horizontal distance from the lesion center to the original surgical scar, vertical distance from the lesion to the skin, body mass index (BMI), the thickness of abdominal wall fat, operative time, intraoperative blood loss, perioperative complications, postoperative pathology, postoperative incision healing and recurrence were recorded and analyzed.Results:All 11 patients in this study had a history of cesarean section, 10 of whom had transverse incision and 1 had longitudinal incision. The age was (35.0±6.2) years old. BMI was (25.0±4.0) kg/m 2, with the highest being 33.9 kg/m 2. The lesion size was (24.7±12.1) mm, with an average horizontal distance from the lesion center to the original surgical scar of (11.6±6.0) mm. The abdominal wall fat thickness was (21.4±5.8) mm, and the vertical distance from the lesion to the skin was (14.5±7.9) mm. There were a total of 12 lesions in the 11 patients. Among them, 1 lesion extended to the peritoneum inferiorly, 5 lesions extended to the rectus abdominis inferiorly, 5 lesions reached the anterior sheath of the rectus abdominis inferiorly, and 1 lesion was completely located within the abdominal wall fat. The operative time was (84.2±35.4) minutes, and the intraoperative blood loss was (9.0±4.2) ml. The postoperative incision healing of all patients was grade A. The anatomical structure of their umbilical region remained normal, free from any scarring, which contributed to the high satisfaction levels expressed by the patients. Postoperative pathological examination confirmed endometriosis with negative surgical margins, and no recurrence had been observed during follow-up. Conclusion:TU-LESS for AWE lesion resection is safe and feasible, particularly suitable for patients with lesions located far from the original surgical scar, deep lesion location, thick abdominal wall fat, and multiple focal leisons.

Turning to critical illness is a common stage of various diseases and injuries before death. Patients usually have complex health conditions, while the treatment process involves a wide range of content, along with high requirements for doctor′s professionalism and multi-specialty teamwork, as well as a great demand for time-sensitive treatments. However, this is not matched with critical care professionals and the current state of medical care in China. Telemedicine, which shortens the distance of medical professionals and the gap of disease diagnosis and treatments in various regions through electronic information, can effectively solve the current problem. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a standardized, high-quality visualization telemedicine round system .Therefore, experts have been organized to search domestic and foreign literature on telemedicine round for critically ill patients and to form this consensus based on clinical experiences so as to further improve the level of critical care treatments in regions.
