Objective:To investigate the short-term efficacy and safety of albumin-bound paclitaxel combined with nedaplatin followed by concurrent radiotherapy in treatment of stage Ⅲ massive cervical cancer.Methods:The clinical data of 84 patients with massive cervical cancer admitted to Harbin Medical University Cancer Hospital from April 2019 to April 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the different treatment regimens, patients were divided into the observation group and the control group, each with 42 cases. The observation group received albumin-bound paclitaxel combined with nedaplatin followed by concurrent radiotherapy, and the control group received solvent-based paclitaxel combined with nedaplatin followed by concurrent radiotherapy. The short-term efficacy and adverse reactions of the two groups were compared.Results:The partial remission (PR) rate of the observation group and the control group at 1 month of treatment was 92.9% (39/42) and 35.7% (15/42), respectively, and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2 = 29.867, P < 0.01). The complete remission (CR) rate of the observation group and the control group at 1 month after treatment was 59.5% (25/42) and 38.1% (16/42), respectively, and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2 = 3.859, P = 0.049). The incidence of diarrhea of the observation group was lower than that of the control group [33.33% (14/42) vs. 54.8% (23/42)], and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2 = 3.913, P = 0.048). There were no statistical differences in the incidence of hematological adverse reactions and abnormal liver and kidney functions between the two groups (all P > 0.05). Conclusion:The albumin-bound paclitaxel combined with nedaplatin followed by concurrent radiotherapy have a good short-term efficacy in treatment of stage Ⅲ massive cervical cancer, and the adverse reactions are tolerable.

Objective:To investigate the association of left and right ventricular diameters in normal early pregnancy and early middle pregnancy to the biological growth parameters of fetus, and to establish the reference and Z-score model for left and right ventricles.Methods:Two hundred and forty-six fetuses in normal early pregnancy (11-13 + 6 weeks) and early middle pregnancy (14-17 + 6 weeks) from February 2019 to May 2019 in Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital were examined by routine ultrasound. Non-cardiac fetal biometric parameters included crown-rump length (CRL), biparietal diameter (BPD) and femoral length (FL) and gestation age (GA) based on menstrual age were assessed. The left and right ventricular widths (LVW, RVW) and ventricular lengths (LVL, RVL) were measured at the end of diastolic period by obtaining the standard four chamber view of fetal echocardiography. The end-diastolic areas (LVA, RVA) as the products of the ventricular widths and lengths, the global spherical indexes (GSI) of left and right ventricles (LVSI, RVSI), the ratios of left and right ventricular widths (LVW/RVW), the length ratios (LVL/RVL) and the area ratios (LVA/RVA) of both ventricles were calculated.GA, BPD and FL were used as independent variables. The predicted cardiac parameters and its derivative parameters were used as dependent variables. The corresponding reference range was established. The correlation between each standard deviation (SD) and independent variables was analyzed, and the corresponding Z-scores of left and right ventricular diameters were calculated by using the formula. Results:①LVW, RVW, LVL, RVL were found positively correlated with the increase of GA, BPD and FL, and the correlation between GA and LVW, RVW was the highest ( r=0.928, 0.930; all P<0.000 1). ②There was a positive correlation between LVA, RVA and GA ( r=0.868, 0.872; all P<0.000 1). LVSI, RVSI were found negatively correlated with GA ( r=-0.844, -0.861; all P<0.000 1), and LVSI>RVSI. LVW/RVW<1 and almost close to 1, the ratios decreased with the increase of GA( r=0.147, P<0.000 1). LVL/RVL>1, the ratios increased with the increase of GA( r=0.313, P<0.000 1). LVA/RVA>1, but there was no correlation with GA. ③The SD values of LVW, RVW, LVL, RVL positively correlated with independent variables. Taking GA and LVW as an example, the linear regression equation of LVW was Y=-5.338+ 0.549GA ( r=0.928, P<0.000 1), and the linear regression equation of LVW-SD was Y=-0.322+ 0.037GA( r=0.131, P<0.000 1). The Z-scores of LVW, RVW, LVL, RVL, LVA, RVA did not change with the changes of GA, BPD, and FL. Conclusions:The normal reference range and Z-scores of left and right ventricular lengths and widths can be simply and reliably established using statistical analysis, and these parameters might have potentials for more accurately and more early evaluating the normal development of fetal heart.

Objective:To study the correlation between fatigue symptoms and living condition of liver transplant recipients after discharge from hospital, so as to provide reference basis for preventing postoperative fatigue symptoms in recipients.Methods:From September 2018 to December 2018, 280 liver transplant recipients were selected from the liver transplantation clinic of a grade-three hospital in Shanghai by convenience sampling method, and clinical data of the patients were obtained by questionnaire survey to analyze factors of the symptom of postoperative fatigue.Results:A total of 280 patients were included, among which 130 patients showed fatigue symptoms, accounting for 46.4%. The results of single-factor analysis showed that the postoperative survival days, gender, total time of exercise, body mass index, working status, mode of payment of medical expenses, Sleep quality, negative emotions, and nutritional risk all exert an influence on fatigue symptoms ( P<0.05). The results of multi-factor analysis showed that the total time of exercise during a week ( OR=0.674, 95% CI:0.512-0.887), postoperative survival days ( OR=0.993, 95% CI:0.989-0.997) and the score of negative emotion scale ( OR=1.484, 95% CI:1.157-1.902) had significant influence on fatigue symptoms in patients ( P<0.01). Conclusions:Postoperative survival days, exercise time and negative emotions are the main factors affecting fatigue symptoms. Medical staff should evaluate and manage patients' psychological and activity exercise to improve fatigue symptoms.

From July to August 2018, a survey on the awareness of diabetic foot screening was conducted using the online questionnaires posted on the WeChat group. From 107 trainees in General Practitioner Teacher Training Program of Beijing Xicheng District and 50 general practitioners working in Chinese Academy of Sciences, 145 valid questionnaires were received. All 145 participants worked in community health care settings, including 105 general practitioners, 76 had 10 to 20 years of service, and 98 had undergraduate degree. The survey showed that 75.9% (110/145) heard the diabetic foot screening and knew that screening should be done for all diabetic patients; 98.6% (142/145) knew that the screening should include medical history, foot skin, neuropathy, vascular status, and 73.1% (106/145) also knew that screening should include the foot bone, joint deformities and footwear selection; 21.4% (31/145) had participated in training related to diabetic foot screening. It is suggested that the awareness and knowledge of diabetic foot screening among Beijing community medical personnelare not sufficient, and more training opportunity is necessary for them.

OBJECTIVE:
To detect potential variant in an ethical Han Chinese pedigree affected with breast cancer.
METHODS:
The proband and her relatives were subjected to next-generation sequencing using a target capture sequencing kit containing 121 cancer-related genes. Candidate variants were selected by analysis of their type, frequency in population, and segregation with the phenotype. Candidate variant was verified by Sanger sequencing and TA cloning.
RESULTS:
A c.2013_2014ins GT variant was detected in the BRCA1 gene among all breast cancer patients from this pedigree but not among healthy females. The variant was not recorded in the 1000 Genome Project database or the Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC) database. The frameshifting insertion was predicted to form an premature stop codon in gene transcript and can give rise to a truncated protein.
CONCLUSION
The BRCA1 c.2013_2014ins GT variant probably underlies the pathogenesis of breast cancer in this Chinese pedigree.
