It is very limited that the benefit of perioperative chemotherapy in early non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and the 5-year survival rate is only 5% higher than surgery. Antibodies that block programmed cell death protein 1/programmed death-ligand 1 significantly improve the survival of advanced NSCLC. The value of immunotherapy in early NSCLC is also being explored. This paper firstly summarized and analyzed the progress of immunotherapy in the perioperative period of NSCLC. Secondly, the safety and feasibility of surgical resection after neoadjuvant immunotherapy were discussed. Finally, the clinical value of different therapeutic efficacy prediction indicators was summarized, in order to clarify the current status of immunotherapy in the perioperative period, so as to improve the clinical benefits of early NSCLC patients.

OBJECTIVE To analyze the influential factors for clinical efficacy of polymyxin B combined with other antibiotics in the treatment of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii （CRAB） pulmonary infection. METHODS A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of patients with CRAB pulmonary infection in our hospital from May 2021 to October 2024. Information such as age， gender， admitting department， infection status， underlying medical conditions， mechanical ventilation time， combination anti-infective treatment regimens， and the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation Ⅱ （APACHE-Ⅱ） score 24 h before medication was compiled. Based on the effectiveness of the treatment， patients were divided into treatment-effective group and treatment-ineffective group. Univariate analysis and multivariate Logistic regression analysis were employed to identify independent factors influencing clinical efficacy. RESULTS A total of 156 patients were included， and 108 patients were treated effectively， with an effective rate of 69.23%. The results of univariate analysis indicated that there were statistically significant differences between 2 groups in terms of the duration of mechanical ventilation time， APACHE-Ⅱ score 24 h before medication， the number of complication types， the proportion of abnormal coagulation function， anti-infective treatment course， and hospital stay before medication （P＜0.05）. The results of multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that APACHE-Ⅱ score≥15 points 24 h before medication [OR＝2.965， 95%CI （1.284， 6.845）， P＝0.020]， mechanical 20251606） ventilation time≥10 d [OR＝3.577， 95%CI （1.185， 10.793）， P＝0.037] and hospital stay≥14 d before medication [OR＝2.422， 95%CI （1.036， 5.654）， P＝0.041] were independent 15120420253@139.com risk factors， and anti-infective treatment course＞7 d was a protective factor [OR＝0.445， 95%CI （0.221， 0.895）， P＝0.043]. CONCLUSIONS This study shows that the effective rate of polymyxin B combined with other antibiotics in the treatment of CRAB pulmonary infection is less than 70%. The mechanical ventilation time≥10 d， APACHE-Ⅱ score≥15 points 24 h before medication， and hospital stay≥14 d before medication may lead to treatment failure， whereas anti-infective treatment course＞7 d may be associated with treatment success.

Objective : To explore the relationship between single nucleotide polymorphisms ( SNPs) in D-loop region of mitochondrial DNA ( mtDNA) and mtDNA copy number and the risk of dermatomyositis ( DM) ，and its in- fluencing factors． Methods : 74 patients with DM and 92 healthy controls were included in the study． Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood and the target fragment of mtDNA D-loop region was amplified by PCR technique，and the products were subsequently sequenced．Serum levels of ROS were assessed using a high-sensi- tivity reactive oxygen species detection kit．The expression levels of cytokines，interleukin ( IL) -5，IL-13，inter- feron-γ ( IFN-γ) ，IL-2，IL-6，IL-10，tumor necrosis factor-α ( TNF-α) and IL-4 were measured using Flow Fluo- rescence Immunmicrobeads Assay．Wilcoxon rank-sum test was used to assess the potential correlation between cy- tokines and SNPs associated with DM risk．The relative copy number of mtDNA was measured using quantitative re- al-time polymerase chain reaction ( qPCR) analysis． Results : Two SNPs ( 16304T / C，16519T / C) were found to be associated with the risk of developing DM，and alleles 16304C ( χ2 = 4. 937，P = 0. 026) and 16519C ( χ2 = 4. 405，P = 0. 036) in the mitochondrial D-loop region were confirmed to be associated with DM development risk． The DM risk-associated allele 16304C was significantly associated with lower IL-4 expression ( P = 0. 016) ．The mtDNA copy number was significantly higher in DM patients than in controls ( P ＜0. 001) ． Conclusion Mitochondrial D-loop SNPs can be potential biomarkers for DM risk，and SNPs may be involved in DM by influencing cytokines．DM shows high expression of mtDNA copy number，and the increase in mtDNA copy number may lead to mitochondrial dysfunction，which triggers the pathogenesis of DM．

Objective To explore the clinical effect of cold treatment of replacement fluid in continuous blood purification(CBP)of patients with heat stroke.Methods Clinical data of 46 patients with heat stroke who were treated with CBP in Hainan Hospital of PLA General Hospital from July 2018 to September 2022 were retrospectively analyzed.The patients were assigned to control group(23 cases,conventional treatment for heat stroke and CBP with room temperature replacement fluid)and observation group(23 cases,conventional treatment for heat stroke and CBP with cooling replacement fluid).The body temperatures were compared between the two groups before treatment and 30 min,2 h,6 h,12 h and 24 h after treatment.The prothrombin activity(PTA),activated partial thromboplastin time(APTT),D-dimer(D-D),fibrinogen(FIB)and platelet count(PLT)before treatment and at 24 h(T1),3 d(T2)and 7 d(T3)after treatment,as well as the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation Ⅱ(APACHEⅡ)score at 7 d after treatment were also compared between the two groups.Results There was no significant difference in temperature or coagulation function between the two groups before treatment(P>0.05).The temperature of the observation group was significantly different from that of the control group at 2 h,6h and 12h after treatment(P<0.05).After treatment,the levels of PTA,FIB and PLT in the observation group at T1,T2 and T3 were higher than those in the control group,while the level of D-D in the observation group was lower than that in the control group,and the APPT at T1 and T2 was significantly shorter than that in the control group(P<0.05).PTA,APPT,D-D,FIB and PLT of the two groups were improved after treatment(P<0.05).Conclusion The cold treatment of replacement fluid can quickly shorten the cooling time of patients with heat stroke during CBP,and significantly improve coagulation function.It is worthy of clinical promotion so as to improve the progrosis of patients with heat strok.

Objective:To explore the association of hemoglobin(HGB) levels with bone mineral density(BMD) and osteoporosis in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM).Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted in 364 patients with T2DM who were hospitalized in the Department of Endocrinology and Geriatrics of the Affiliated Huaian No. 1 People′s Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from September 2019 to September 2020. Participants were stratified into tertiles(lower, middle, and upper) according to femoral BMD determined by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Demographic characteristics, medical history, chronic diabetes complications, and comorbid conditions were compared among the 3 groups. The association between hemoglobin levels and BMD/osteoporosis was examined using multivariable logistic regression analyses. Interaction and stratified analyses were conducted according to age, body mass index(BMI), duration of diabetes, estimated glomerular filtration rate(eGFR), glycosylated hemoglobin(HbA 1C), total cholesterol(TC), triglycerides(TG), high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol(HDL-C), low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol(LDL-C) and uric acid(UA). Results:After adjusting for age, BMI, and duration of diabetes, there were no significant differences observed in the association between hemoglobin levels and BMD or osteoporosis among postmenopausal women with T2DM(all P>0.05). After adjusting for age, BMI, duration of diabetes, and eGFR, men aged≥50 years with hemoglobin≥130 g/L showed a positive association between hemoglobin level and femoral neck BMD compared to those with hemoglobin<130 g/L( β=0.057, 95% CI 0.014-0.100, P=0.011). However, no significant associations were observed between hemoglobin level and BMDs at the total hip or lumbar spine(L1-L4), nor the risk of osteoporosis(all P>0.05). Stratified analyses revealed no significant differences in the subgroups classified based on age, BMI, diabetes duration, eGFR, HbA 1C, TC, TG, HDL-C, LDL-C, and UA(all interaction P>0.05). Conclusion:In males aged 50 and above with T2DM, elevated hemoglobin levels may be a protective factor for femoral neck bone density.

Objective To explore the diagnosis of clinically suspicious von Willebrand disease(vWD)in a family and its pathogene-sis.Methods The pedigree information and the biological specimen were collected from the clinically suspected VWD patient and her family members(4 persons in total)in Peking University First Hospital.The levels of platelet count(PLT),activated partial thrombo-plastin time(APTT),vWF antigen(vWF:Ag),vWF activity(vWF:Ac)and FⅧ activity(FⅧ:C)were detected,and vWF risto-cetin cofactor(vWF:RCo)assay,ristocetin-induced platelet aggregation assay(RIPA)and vWF collagen binding(vWF:CB)assay were performed for phenotype diagnosis.The peripheral blood genomic DNAs were extracted from the proband and her family members to perform whole-exome sequencing for identifying the mutation of vWF gene,The mutation site was analyzed by using bioinformation tools to explore the pathogenesis of the proband.Results The APTT of proband(m 1)was slightly prolonged and her vWF:Ag,vWF:Ac,vWF:RCo and vWF:CB were significantly decreased.There was no obvious aggregation in RIPA assay(1.0 mg/mL and 1.25 mg/mL).In her father(Ⅱ3),APTT,FⅧ:C,vWF:Ag,vWF:Ac and vWF:CB were normal,but vWF:RCo was slightly decreased.In her mother(Ⅱ4),APTT,FⅧ:C,vWF:Ag,vWF:RCo and vWF:CB were all normal,but vWF:Ac significantly decreased.In her brother(Ⅲ2),APTT and FⅧ:C were normal,but vWF:Ag,vWF:Ac,vWF:RCo and vWF:CB were reduced to varying degrees.In all the family members(father,mother and brpther),no apparent aggregation in RIPA(1.0 mg/mL)was shown.Genetic analysis showed that the proband(Ⅲ1)carried a compound heterozygous mutation of vWF gene c.7288-9T＞G and c.1117C＞T,her father(Ⅱ3)carried vWF gene c.7288-9T＞G heterozygous mutation,and vWF gene c.1117C＞T heterozygous mutation was presented in both mother(Ⅱ4)and brother(Ⅲ2).Conclusion According to the results of laboratory tests,the proband was diagnosed as type 2A vWD.The hetero-zygous mutation in vWF gene c.1117C＞T and c.7288-9T＞G may be the molecular mechanism leading to type 2A vWD in the proband.

Japanese encephalitis is an acute central nervous system infectious disease caused by Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) with brain parenchyma inflammation, characterized by high fever, headache, positive meningeal irritation, impaired consciousness, convulsion, and respiratory failure, with mortality rate as high as 20%-30%, and with neurological sequelae in 30%-50% of survivors. The mechanism of brain damage caused by JEV infection is still unclear, and some studies imply its close relation with immune-inflammatory response. This article reviews the research progress on immune-inflammatory response mechanism of Japanese encephalitis to help to understand its pathogenesis.

Surgery is the mainstay of lung cancer treatment options.Traditionally,lobectomy has held its place as the gold standard for treating localized lung cancer,while sublobar resection,including wedge resection and segmentectomy,was primarily considered as an alternative,often reserved for patient ineligible to sustain a radical intervention.However,with the widespread application of computed tomography(CT)to clinical practice,the increasing detection rate of pulmonary ground glass nodules(GGNs)has reshaped this landscape.Ground glass opacity(GGO)in persistent lung nodules is an indicative factor of a favorable prognosis,typically corresponding to pathological changes such as atypical adenomatous hyperplasia(AAH),adenocarcinoma in situ(AIS),or adenocarcinomas predominantly featuring a lepidic growth pattern.A large number of retrospective studies have shown that sublobar resection can achieve satisfactory therapeutic outcomes for such lesions.A series of prospective studies from Japan have confirmed that for early-stage lung cancers dominated by GGOs,sublobar resection is also a viable curative surgical option.The follow-up data showed that there was no statistical difference in the survival status of these patients compared with that of pulmonary lobectomy.This article aims to delve into the role of limited lung resection in the context of lung adenocarcinoma presenting with GGO features.

Objective To investigate the distribution of B cells in both tumor and non-tumor tissues of gastric cancer patients,analyze their phenotypic characteristics and explore the impact on T cell proliferation.Methods Immunohistochemical staining was utilized to detect the expression of B cell surface marker CD 19 in tumor and non-tumor tissues from 33 gastric cancer patients.The expression levels of chemokine receptors and immunoglobulin molecules on B cells in both tumor and non-tumor tissues were measured using flow cytometry.Chemotaxis experiments were conducted to examine the role of the CXCL12-CXCR4 axis in B cell chemotaxis.B cells isolated and purified from both tissue types were co-cultured with autologous peripheral T cells to assess their effect on T cell proliferation.Results There were significantly more B cells infiltrated in tumor tissues than those infitrated in the non-tumor tissues of gastric cancer patients(P＜0.01),and CXCR4 was highly expressed on tumor-infiltrating B cells compared with B cells derived from non-tumor tissues(P＜0.05).The Cancer Genome Atlas(TCGA)analysis indicated that the expression level of CXCL12 in tumor tissues was positively correlated with the expression level of CD19 in gastric cancer patients(r=0.15,P＜0.01).And the expression level of CXCL12 in tumor tissues of the gastric cancer patients was also positively correlated with the number of B cells infiltrated in tumor tissues.Chemotaxis experiments confirmed that the CXCL12-CXCR4 axis was involved in promoting B cell chemotaxis(P＜0.05).Although B cells in tumor and non-tumor tissues had similar levels of IgM,IgG,and IgA expression,tumor-infiltrating B cells significantly inhibited the proliferation of T cells when compared with B cells derived from non-tumor tissues(P＜0.01).Conclusion There are more B cells infiltrated in gastric cancer tissues,which may be recruited to tumor tissues through the CXCL12-CXCR4 axis,and then inhibit T cell proliferation to promote the progression of gastric cancer.

African swine fever(ASF),caused by the African swine fever virus(ASFV),is a highly contagious infectious disease of pigs.This disease has been spread rapidly in China since 2018,po-sing a huge threat to China's pig farming industry.To rapid detect the ASFV,a loop-mediated iso-thermal amplification(LAMP)combined with the disposable nucleic acid visualization test strip was established for visual detection of the nucleic acid of ASFV B646L gene.The method was easy to operate without special instruments and equipment,while it effectively avoided the disadvantage of false positives caused by aerosol contamination.The method was able to detect 1.16 copies/μL of the recombinant plasmid in 50 min at 65 ℃.In addition,the method was specific with no cross-re-action with classical swine fever virus,porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus,por-cine parvovirus,transmissible gastroenteritis virus.The results in this study provides a rapid,con-venient,sensitive and reliable method for early diagnosis and screening for ASFV suspected infec-tion cases.
