[摘 要] 目的：探讨复发/转移性鼻咽癌（NPC）接受含PD-1单抗免疫治疗的临床特征和预后影响因素。方法：回顾性分析2019年3月至2024年7月期间南部战区总医院确诊的95例NPC患者的临床资料和外周血生化及免疫学指标。预后分析采用Kaplan-Meier曲线，组间比较使用Log-rank检验，采用Cox比例风险模型进行单因素和多因素分析。结果：95例患者中男性81例，女性14例，中位年龄49.72岁（16~74岁），Ⅳ期91例（95.79%），所有患者均采用免疫治疗，联合或不联合化疗方案治疗，中位无进展生存期（mPFS）为10.5个月，客观缓解率（ORR）70.53%，疾病控制率（DCR）89.47%，接受含铂治疗方案患者PFS相对更长，且差异有统计学意义。紫杉醇 + 顺铂 + 氟尿嘧啶（TPF）对比吉西他滨 + 顺铂（GP）和紫杉醇 + 顺铂（TP）显示出更长的PFS，但差异无统计学意义。不同PD-1单抗治疗组间的PFS未显示出有统计学意义的差异。单因素及多因素Cox回归分析结果显示，肿瘤复发状态、初始血浆EBV感染状态、治疗周期数、基线外周血SII是复发/转移性NPC患者接受PD-1抑制剂治疗疗效预测的独立相关因素（均P < 0.05），并且非复发患者、初始血浆EBV DNA阳性、接受 ≥ 4治疗周期、基线外周血SII < 772.81的患者接受PD-1抑制剂治疗预后相对更好。结论：在接受PD-1抑制剂治疗的复发/转移性NPC患者中，非复发患者、初始血浆EBV DNA阳性、≥ 4治疗周期且外周血SII < 772.81者PFS相对更长，可早期识别免疫治疗效果不佳患者并精准干预。

Objective To establish a stable and reliable sepsis model of rat after liver transplantation (LT) for clinical translational research and analyze its characteristics. Methods The "two-sleeve method" was used to establish the in situ LT model of SD rats, and the sepsis model was constructed through cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) at 3 d after the operation. SD rats were randomly divided into 3 groups: sham operation group (Sham group), LT group, and LT + CLP group, with 6 rats in each group. The changes in body weight, rectal temperature and survival rate were compared, and the sepsis score was used for evaluation. The levels of blood biochemical indicators [alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), urea (Urea), creatinine (Cr), creatine kinase (CK), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH)] and inflammatory factors [interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, IL-10, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α] in each group were detected, and the pathological changes and cell apoptosis in different organs were observed. Results Compared with the Sham group, the body weight of the LT group and LT + CLP group decreased (all P<0.05). The rectal temperature of the LT + CLP group showed a continuous downward trend after the operation, the sepsis score increased sharply after the operation, and the survival rate dropped to 16.7%, and the differences between the Sham group, LT group and LT + CLP group were statistically significant (all P<0.05). The levels of ALT, AST, Urea, Cr, CK, LDH, and serum IL-1β, IL-6, IL-10 and TNF-α in the LT + CLP group were higher than those in the Sham group and LT group rats within 72 hours after the operation(all P<0.05). The pathological examination of the LT + CLP group showed severe tissue structure destruction, necrosis and infiltration of inflammatory cells in multiple organs, and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick-end labeling (TUNEL) staining showed an increased level of cell apoptosis in multiple organs. Conclusions Using liver transplantation combined with CLP, a stable animal model of liver transplantation infection is successfully established, which exhibits a high mortality rate, significant multi-organ damage and intense inflammatory response, providing an ideal animal model for transplantation infection research.

Objective:To summarize the surgical strategies and to evaluate the clinical outcomes of up-per urinary tract reconstruction in patients with stone-related ureteral strictures.Methods:This retro-spective study included 71 patients diagnosed with ureteral strictures secondary to urinary stones who un-derwent upper urinary tract reconstructive surgery at Peking University First Hospital between March 2014 and November 2023.Patient data were collected,including demographic characteristics,clinical presen-tation,laboratory results,imaging findings,surgical procedures,and follow-up outcomes.Ureteral stric-tures were classified according to anatomical location into upper,middle,lower,or multiple segments.Surgical procedures were carried out depending on the stricture characteristics.Surgical success was de-fined as resolution or improvement of clinical symptoms,radiographic improvement or stabilization of hy-dronephrosis,and maintenance of normal and stable renal function.Results:Among the 71 patients,36(50.7％)had strictures in the upper ureter,9(12.7％)in the middle ureter,15(21.1％)in the lower ureter,and 11(15.5％)had multifocal ureteral strictures.The median stricture length was 5.0 cm(interquartile range:3.0-15.0 cm).Surgical approach selection was individualized based on the location and extent of the stricture.For upper ureteral strictures,the most frequently employed techniques were oral mucosal graft ureteroplasty(13/36,36.1％)and appendiceal flap ureteroplasty(8/36,22.2％).Other options included ureteroureterostomy and ileal ureter replacement for longer or more complex strictures.In middle ureteral strictures,treatment was stratified by length:balloon dilation(1/9,11.1％)and ureteroureterostomy(1/9,11.1％)were applied in shorter strictures,while oral mucosal graft ureteroplasty(3/9,33.3％)and ileal ureter replacement(4/9,44.4％)were reserved for longer segments.For lower ureteral strictures,ureteral reimplantation into the bladder was the most common approach(10/15,66.7％),often combined with a psoas hitch or Boari flap when necessary.All the patients with multiple segmental strictures underwent ileal ureter replacement due to the extensive nature of the disease.The median follow-up period was 14.2 months(range:6.1-107.1 months).During follow-up,69 of 71 patients(97.2％)achieved surgical success.Conclusion:Stone-related ure-teral strictures present with considerable heterogeneity in terms of anatomical location,length,and com-plexity.Careful preoperative evaluation and individualized surgical planning are critical to successful re-construction.With appropriate selection of surgical methods,favorable long-term clinical outcomes can be achieved in the majority of patients.

Objective:To explore the effect and mechanism of Andrias davidianus skin mucopolysaccharides (ASMP) on full-thickness skin defect wound healing in diabetic mice. Methods:This study was an experimental study. The ASMP with polysaccharide content of (70.0±0.3)% was prepared; the proliferation activity of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) was detected by cell counting kit-8, showing that the optimal concentration of ASMP was 0.05 mg/mL. The HUVECs were taken and divided into blank control group, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) group, and ASMP group according to the random number table method (the same grouping method below), which were cultured with conventional medium and the media containing 50 ng/mL VEGF and 0.05 mg/mL ASMP, respectively, and then cultured under hypoxic (with volume fraction of oxygen being 5%) and normal-oxygen conditions for 12 hours, and the length of tube formation was observed. Human monocytic leukemia cells were induced with phorbol ester to differentiate into M0 macrophages. These cells were then divided into blank control group, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) group, and ASMP group, which were cultured respectively using conventional medium, LPS-containing medium followed by conventional medium, and LPS-containing medium followed by 0.05 mg/mL ASMP-containing medium. After 48 hours of culture, the expressions of CD86 and CD206 proteins (expressed as relative fluorescence intensity, the same below) were measured by immunofluorescence, and the mRNA expression levels of arginase-1 (Arg1) and CD206 were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. Eighteen male C57 mice aged 8-10 weeks were used, and diabetic model was successfully established using streptozotocin combined with a high-fat and high-sugar diet. Full-thickness skin defect wounds were created on the backs of the mice, and the mice were divided into blank control group, alginate dressing group, and ASMP group (with 6 mice in each group), which were treated with physiological saline, alginate dressing, and ASMP, respectively. Wound healing was observed on post injury day (PID) 3, 7, 10, and 14, and the wound healing rates of mice were calculated. On PID 7, the expressions of CD31 and CD206 proteins in the wound tissue of mice were observed by immunofluorescence. On PID 14, the thickness of granulation tissue in wounds of mice was observed by hematoxylin-eosin staining. The sample size for all experiments was 3.Results:After 12 hours of culture in normal-oxygen condition, compared with that in blank control group, the tube formation length of HUVECs in VEGF and ASMP groups was significantly increased (with q values of 10.08 and 16.91, respectively, P<0.05). After 12 hours of culture in hypoxic condition, compared with that in blank control group, the tube formation length of HUVECs in VEGF and ASMP groups was significantly increased (with q values of 11.61 and 16.91, respectively, P<0.05); compared with that in VEGF group, the tube formation length of HUVECs in ASMP group was significantly increased ( q=5.30, P<0.05). After 48 hours of culture, the relative fluorescence intensity of CD206 protein in M0 macrophages in ASMP group was 31.90±1.76, significantly higher than 1.00±0.25 in blank control group and 2.21±0.42 in LPS group (with q values of 50.75 and 48.75, respectively, both P values <0.05); the relative fluorescence intensity of CD86 protein was 5.82±0.63, significantly lower than 53.73±4.61 in LPS group ( q=30.90, P<0.05). After 48 hours of culture, the mRNA expressions of Arg1 and CD206 in M0 macrophages in ASMP group were significantly higher than those in blank control group (with q values of 35.02 and 13.09, respectively, P<0.05) and LPS group (with q values of 32.24 and 11.24, respectively, P<0.05). On PID 3, there was no statistically significant difference in intercomparison in the wound healing rate of mice among the blank control, alginate dressing, and ASMP groups ( P>0.05). Compared with those in blank control group, the wound healing rates of mice in alginate dressing group on PID 10 and 14 were significantly increased (with q values of 11.76 and 12.50, respectively, P<0.05), and the wound healing rates of mice in ASMP group on PID 7, 10, and 14 were significantly increased (with q values of 5.84, 15.90, and 14.96, respectively, P<0.05); compared with those in alginate dressing group, the wound healing rates of mice in ASMP group on PID 7 and 10 were significantly increased (with q values of 4.77 and 4.14, respectively, P<0.05). On PID 7, the relative fluorescence intensity of CD31 protein in wound tissue of mice in alginate dressing and ASMP groups was significantly stronger than that in blank control group (with q values of 7.63 and 16.85, respectively, P<0.05); the relative fluorescence intensity of CD31 protein in wound tissue of mice in ASMP group was significantly stronger than that in alginate dressing group ( q=9.22, P<0.05). On PID 7, the relative fluorescence intensity of CD206 protein in wound tissue of mice in alginate dressing and ASMP groups was significantly stronger than that in blank control group (with q values of 8.76 and 29.36, respectively, P<0.05), and the relative fluorescence intensity of CD206 protein in wound tissue of mice in ASMP group was significantly stronger than that in alginate dressing group ( q=20.61, P<0.05). On PID 14, the wound granulation tissue of mice in ASMP group was thicker compared with that in blank control group and alginate dressing group. Conclusions:ASMP can significantly enhance the ability of new blood vessel formation and optimize the immune microenvironment by promoting HUVEC tube formation as well as inducing macrophages to polarize toward the M2 type, thereby accelerating full-thickness skin defect wound healing in diabetic mice.

Objective:To explore the genetic basis for a girl with primary microcephaly and growth retardation.Methods:A girl who was admitted to Guangdong Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital in was selected as the study subject. Peripheral blood samples were collected from the child and her parents. Trio whole exome sequencing was carried out, and candidate variants were verified by Sanger sequencing and bioinformatic analysis. This study was approved by the Medical Ethnics Committee of Guangdong Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital (Ethics No. 202201278).Results:DNA sequencing revealed that the child has harbored compound heterozygous variants of the WDR62 gene, including a frameshifting c. 2963delC (p.Pro988Argfs*80) variant in exon 24 which was inherited from the unaffected father, and a nonsense c.3163G>T (p.Glu1055*) variant in exon 26, which was inherited from her unaffected mother. Both variants were predicted to affect the reading frame of the WDR62 gene. Conclusion:Based on the clinical manifestations, results of genetic testing and pedigree analysis, the compound heterozygous variants were predicted to underlay the pathogenesis of microcephaly and growth retardation in this child. Above discovery has expanded the mutational spectrum for WDR62-associated Primary microcephaly type 2, and facilitated genetic counseling for the family.

Objective:To investigate the characteristics, influencing factors, consequences, coping strategies, and preventive measures of workplace violence in medical consortiums.Methods:Medical professionals from a specialized hospital in South China and its consortium members (2 primary-level, 1 secondary-level, and 1 tertiary-level hospitals) were surveyed in December 2022 and July 2023. Quantitative research included 1013 participants, while qualitative research involved 35 participants. Workplace violence was assessed using the "National Case Study Tool for Workplace Violence in Healthcare Institutions-Survey Questionnaire", with qualitative analysis conducted through semi-structured interviews. Inter-group comparisons employed chi-square tests or Fisher's exact probability test, with logistic regression models for bivariate analysis.Results:The overall incidence rates of violence, psychological violence, and physical violence in this medical consortium were 31.7% (321/1, 013) , 30.6% (310/1, 013) , and 3.3% (33/1, 013) , respectively. Specifically, the overall violence rates in Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 hospitals were 22.7% (41/181) , 27.4% (43/157) , and 35.1% (237/675) . The physical violence rates were 1.1% (2/181) , 10.2% (16/157) , and 2.2% (15/675) , respectively. The psychological violence rates stood at 22.7% (41/181) , 24.8% (39/157) , and 34.1% (230/675) . The total violence in tertiary hospitals was significantly higher than that in tertiary hospitals ( F=10.10, P=0.002) , and the incidence of psychological violence in tertiary hospitals was significantly higher than that in tertiary hospitals ( Flevel 1 vs level 3=8.61, P=0.003; Flevel 2 vs level 3=4.96, P=0.026) , incidence of verbal insults ( Flevel 1 vs level 3=8.25, P=0.004; Flevel 2 vs level 3=6.36, P= 0.012) was significantly higher than that of level 1 and level 2 hospitals. The incidence of physical violence in secondary hospitals was significantly higher than that of other two-level hospitals ( P<0.001) . Compared with other types of violence, the incidence of verbal insults is highest in hospitals at all levels. Higher anxiety about violence was a risk factor for psychological violence in hospitals at all levels ( Flevel1 hospital=15.44, P=0.004; Flevel2 hospital=22.87, P<0.001; Flevel3 hospital=84.12, P<0.001) . Health workers in all three levels of hospitals has a high level of approval of existing workplace violence interventions. The main causes of workplace violence were poor communication between doctors and patients (13.2%) , service attitude problems (12.5%) and patient illness (16.9%) . Conclusion:Workplace violence remains prevalent within this medical consortium. Targeted measures should be implemented based on hospital size, functions, and patient demographics.

Objective:To investigate the impact of four registration methods on the accuracy of virtual occlusal records (VOR) in intraoral scanning for implant restorations with multiple missing teeth.Methods:A mandibular model simulating clinical conditions with multiple missing teeth (right first molar, left second premolar, left first molar, left second molar) and a maxillary compete dentition model were mounted on a semi-adjustable articulator. Subsequently, twelve 0.5 mm stainless steel spheres were adhered to reference positions (16, 46, 13, 43, 23, 33, 25, 35, 26, 36, 27, 37) as fiducial markers. Following this, a laboratory scanner generated reference datasets by digitizing the models in maximum intercuspation (MIP). Meanwhile, ten maxillary and mandibular scans were acquired using an intraoral scanner, with all nonarticulated scans duplicated four times to ensure data consistency. Forty VOR intraoral scans were performed in MIP using four registration protocols: left-side, right-side, anterior, and bilateral registration ( n=10 per group), randomized via a computer-generated pseudo-random sequence. For measurement, linear distances (D16-46, D13-43, D23-33, D25-35, D26-36, D27-37, D16-46 represented the single-tooth defect position, whereas D25-35, D26-36, D27-37 reflected positions in free-end edentulism areas) between opposing markers were measured in a reverse engineering software, with deviations (ΔD) from the reference scan calculated to assess accuracy. Specifically, negative ΔD values indicated vertical dimension underestimation. Given that non-normally distributed data were analyzed using medians [interquartile ranges (IQR)], trueness (median ΔD) and precision (IQR) were evaluated. The interaction effect between the registration method and the position of the measurement items was evaluated by using the generalized linear model. The accuracy was compared overall by the Kruskal-Wallis test with the two-sided significance level of α=0.05. For pairwise comparisons, post-hoc tests were conducted by Dunn′s t-test with the Bonferroni correction for the significance level. Results:The accuracy of VOR was affected by registration method ( P<0.05), with a significant position×registration method interaction observed ( P<0.05). In particular, in all four groups, only the bilateral registration group showed trueness of less than 0.1 mm for both free-end edentulism and the single tooth defect, with ΔD16-46, ΔD25-35, ΔD26-36, and ΔD27-37 being 0.059 (0.015), -0.082 (0.052), -0.065 (0.032), -0.070 (0.050) mm, respectively. Moreover, trueness in free-end edentulism showed negative values across all groups, with the largest negative deviations observed in the right-side registration group, with ΔD25-35, ΔD26-36 and ΔD27-37 being -0.410 (0.174), -0.442 (0.225), -0.439 (0.262) mm, respectively. Conclusions:In fully digital workflows of implant restorations for mandibular free-end edentulism with multiple missing teeth, registration method critically influences VOR accuracy. While four registration methods exhibited underestimation of occlusal vertical dimension, bilateral registration achieved the highest accuracy.

Objective:To evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of an upper limb rehabilitation robot on the recovery of elbow function recovery following arthroscopic elbow joint release.Methods:Seventy-two patients who underwent arthroscopic elbow joint release at Shanghai Sixth People’s Hospital from December 2022 to December 2023 were recruited. All patients were randomly assigned to either the conventional group (n=36; 16 males, 20 females; age 34.39±9.04 years, range 24-56; fractures: 4 intercondylar humerus, 18 olecranon, 8 radial head, 6 other) which received conventional rehabilitation postoperatively, or the robot-assisted group (n=36; 18 males, 18 females; age 33.78±9.98 years, range 20-59; fractures distribution identical to the conventional group) receiving conventional rehabilitation combined with robot-assisted upper limb rehabilitation therapy. The active range of motion (ROM) of elbow joint, Mayo elbow performance score (MEPS), visual analogue scale (VAS) of elbow joint were recorded preoperatively and at 4 weeks and 3 months postoperatively. The surface electromyography were analyzed at 3 months postoperatively.Results:All patients completed the 3-month rehabilitation program. At 4 weeks postoperatively, the conventional group exhibited a mean active ROM of 106.78°±9.91°, MEPS of 67.78±7.68, VAS of 2.11±0.74; the robot-assisted group showed active ROM of 113.72°±7.06°, MEPS of 73.33±9.28, VAS of 21.89±0.46. By 3 months postoperatively, the conventional group achieved a mean active ROM of 118.11°±6.75°, MEPS of 85.00±8.66, VAS of 0.67±0.67; robot-assisted achieved a mean active ROM of 127.61°±6.61°, MEPS of 91.11±6.57, VAS of 0.39±0.49. Both groups exhibited significant improvements in active ROM and MEPS, and significant reductions in VAS scores at 4 weeks and 3 months postoperatively compared with preoperatively values ( P<0.05). The robot-assisted group demonstrated significantly higher active ROM and MEPS at both 4 weeks and 3 months postoperatively, and a significantly lower VAS score at 3 months postoperatively, compared with the conventional group ( P<0.05). Surface electromyography at 3 months revealed significantly higher biceps brachii root mean square and significantly lower co-contraction index in the robot-assisted group compared to the conventional group ( P<0.05). No adverse symptoms were reported in the treated elbows of either group during the operation and follow-up period. Conclusion:The integration of upper limb rehabilitation robot-assisted therapy and conventional rehabilitation program significantly enhances the recovery of elbow range of motion and functional outcomes at 3 months following arthroscopic elbow joint release.
